I have a malfunction usb connector so usb data transfer or my jig is not working anymore. The data cable and the jig is tested on another I9100, and they worked well. Surprisely the 3key download mode is working, and firmware flash with odin too.
So I need an alternate way to reset the counter before I send it back to warranty service
Is it stored in the bootloader? Can I reflash it with odin?

there is no known alternative way of resetting the counter, if it was as simple as using odin then we would have never worried about using a jig.
So then what is the best way to make a total brick? (result: no 3key recovery or download mode)
I should mess with the bootloader in odin?

LOL!! This is the reverse "I bricked my phone" thread. It's the first time I've seen someone asking how to brick their phone.
I suggest you look at the above mentioned "Hallppz!! I broked mi fonnee" threads and do exactly what they did to brick their phones. Stuff like flashing SGS firmware on SGS2 can help.

Can help, but will be detectable. just start a flash with odin and unplug halfway through, you'll get a connect to pc screen and wont be able to acces download mode
It is the first destructive thread in this forum, isn't it?

Thx
I'll try it tomorrow in the evening unless somebody comes up with a better idea.
I'll post here the result
AFAIK, samsung service center won't check for "flashed" phones. When I returned my SGS2(just cf-rooted), they said I should return after 30mins because they'll flash it back to default(They didn't even check, they just said that while I was still filling-up their repair form). But my yellow tint was still there, so I got a new phone. Now no yellow tint visible on the eyes.

Hi All,
I tried to flash my friends i9100 (it had arabic 2.3.4 firmware, but i didn't write down the exact firmware number), to I9100JPKI1 2.3.5 1 file update. But it gave "FAIL" result in ODIN. After that phone got stuck on Download screen. I removed battery and restarted the phone. And after it got stuck on the following screen (pic at the end of post)
I tried to flash it again by odin but it's not flashing (Attached pic of ODIN after unsuccessful flash below). Any ideas how to restore the phone?
it seems connectivity problem. Have you tried another USB or another USB cable?
Yes, tried different cables on different computers. The phone is booting with this phone-warning triangle-computer logo immediately. Even samsung logo is not coming before it.
Are you able to access recovery mode? If yes, try to do a full wipe.
EDIT: Try to Kill all process of Kies, and see if Odin recognize your phone
No, it's stuck on this screen. i can't put it in Download mode. Even if i start it: Volume Down+Home+Power this screen is coming.
ODIN can't recognize the phone.
Ouch, I see repartition and a PIT file, that usually means the phone is really dead; a job for the service centre.
Which guide did you use?

On the first flashing (after which it became like this) i didn't do repartitioning and didn't use PIT file. Just selected PDA file.

I tried to follow following guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499.
Did
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.
BUT phone is not going into recovery mode.

I think that you need to leave the phone to Service Center.
The thing is that the phone was bought in another country, so there is no warranty in my country for it. That's why i'm searching for solution myself.

I had a problem weeks ago with my phone too. Tried a lot of things and nothing fix the problem. But when i was losing hope, i found the solution by myself.
My problem was only IMEI number and i recovered it. I think that your best choice is read a lot before take some decision. And the most recommended choice is leave the phone to Service center.
Good luck!
Maybe JIG will be useful to put the phone into DOWNLOAD mode?
P.S. : I am keeping going to Service Centre options as a last resort.
If there is any way to get Odin to recognize your phone there is still hope. Try to get into download mode in all possible ways, sometimes it seems lost but suddenly you get in. Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
If you cannot get into download mode, even with a jig, and Odin never recognizes the phone, it is a job for service centre or JTAG or something, but not yourself.

OK. I made very big mistake in the begining. the phone model was i9100g and i flashed it with i9100 firmware. that's seems the cause of the hang.

That messed up your phone dude.. Can you still put your phone into download mode?

Finally, Alhamdulillah, i solved my problem of i9100g flashed with i9100 firmware. First to go out from "phone - yellow label - computer" mark i flashed it with i9100g original kernel Kernel_I9100GDZKI1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276105&page=3. after that it became possible to put the phone into download mode. after that i flashed it with ODIN USING PIT FILE FOR OMAP4 from the same forum and with i9100G new firmware. and that's all, phone is working again.
Hi all!
Firstly I wanted to apologize if I do not post in correct area.
I have a big problem,I put on fit a home bussiness with update software for the GS2

The hardware problem is between your ears .
One this is DEVELOPMENT post in Q&A .
Two you have followed instructions from XX forum why not ask them for advice .
Three are you sure you have i9100 phone as that PIT is not for this phone .
Likewise did you flash i9100 firmware .
You have a bricked phone .
Can you get to download mode if so flash a stock GB rom from stock rom thread to get the phone working .
No download mode two choices find a JTAG repair it will be cheaper than a Samsung repair . Alternative take to Samsung service and hope they dont charge but repair under warranty .

Here was mistake, Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Why did you touch PIT button???
Pit.
When you flash tar you must not set pit for flashing. Remove battery for hour or more than put it back ,try to go in download mode , if that doesnt work find some usb jig to help you put the phone in download mode.
I'm sorry because posted here...and I thank you for you answer.
You may have right about the way I put the PIT file
can you please tell me where I can get the JTAG repair?

Hi guys,
I really need your help !!!
This is the story:
I tried to flash with odin (v3.07).
At first I checked these boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Nand Erase all
And flashed. Until it got stuck for quite some time in "SetupConnection..."
Then I disconnected the phone and reinserted it to download mode.
I tried to flash again but know with these checked boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Re-Partition
It got stuck again in "NAND.. " (something - I don't remember exactly)
Again I disconnected the phone.
From that moment it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did And wouldn't charge. (BTW the battery was 85% when I started everything)
I tried many (!) methods I found online: Taking the battery out / put it in the freezer for 10 mins / reinsert it while pressing ON button / ON + HOME ...
Nothing helps..
What is the problem?
Tried to specify as much as I could...
I really need your help!!!
What should I do in order for it to work again??
Thanks

So you can`t get into Download Mode?
And wait a second you put your phone in the freezer for 10 minutes???
Edit: How many parts did your firmware have? 1 part or 3 parts?
If it was a 1 part firmware (Only PDA File) and you checked Re-partition then it`s possible that you bricked your phone.
If you can`t go into Download mode then the last thing you can try is to buy a USB Jig and try get into Download mode with it. If this doen`t help then Samsung service center is probably the way to go.
I can't get it to turn on which means no download mode.
I put the battery in the freezer as I read somewhere...
I don't think I have a descent samsung service in my country. I need to check...
My firmware had 2 parts:
A .pit file and a PDA(.zip file)
why did you check re partition mate...you could have at least taken time to search for a flashing guide...

What Firmware did you flash, a link or the exact name of the Firmware would be nice.
What happens if you run Odin and then Plug your device into USB? Does Odin recognize that your phone is connected or nothing happens? If nothing happens then try to buy the USB Jig and plug it in and see if you can get into Download Mode.

True that, I heard several times that guys have bricked their phone of Re-Partition because of missing or wrong Pit File.
Never use pit and repartition with 1file rom. Repartition must be made with 3 file firmware. And of course proper .pit.

And THAT is an OMAP .pit file, which is for the I9100G.
What is your phone's actual model number? (look on the label under the battery)
You're probably looking at a JTag job at the least, or a visit to a Samsung service center... Nothing you can do if you flashed an I9100G .pit file to an I9100, or I9100T.

So you flashed an i9100G .pit file to an i9100. That completely buggers it, you can do nothing at this point, except what I said. JTag, or Samsung service center.
JTag is a service where a qualified technician solders leads from a riff box to the motherboard of your phone, to reformat the phone. This will USUALLY end up being cheaper than going to a Samsung service center.
Though, if your device is still under warranty, you could just try sending it in for warranty service and playing dumb. (i.e. not telling them you were flashing stuff)

There is a good chance you screwed up your bootloader because you inserted a wrong Pit File (I9100G Pitfile although you have a normal I9100) and checked Re-Partition.
Like ctomgee said,If the Bootloader is screwed you need someone with a so called Jtag to flash a working bootloader on your device. You can bring it to a Samsung Service Center or find someone (Maybe even here on XDA) who will do this for you.

Try a usb jig and see if you can get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably are looking at a Jtag job or Samsung repair service. Is the phone still under warranty?

Remove the battery and under the battery there should be a model name.
However, if you have the I9100 and not the I9100G you flashed the wrong Pit File. There is a big difference between those devices. I9100 is Exynos based and I9100G is OMAP based. You probably messed up the partition of your phone or even the bootloader by flashing wrong stuff on the device.

Yes you are right mine is I9100. I flashed the wrong Pit file. So can I do anything to unbrick it? If I could get into download mode I could have tried to solve it. but I cant! Moreover the device is getting heated even if its turned off and unplugged. When I put the battery on its heating up itself.

There is no way (at least to my knowledge) to unbrick a hardbricked device without jtag. What you can try is to find someone in your country with a jtag and give him your device, so he can then unbrick it. Maybe there is a Android Forum that is based on your language, I would ask there. In Germany there are quite some people who do this for a little cash, so maybe you can find someone in your country.
Good luck
