What he said....

I don't know 100% about samsung devices but if you can get into the bootloader or recovery you can save potentily save your phone but what most likely happened is that you put incompatible mods on your device and is causeing a bootloop or if your phone died in the process of installing system mods or roms it will have a incomplete rom and won't even bootloop

how i can get into bootloader.................my phone bricked too. need help urgent..................please.
when i press vol up+home key+power key continuing with inserting battery i got port showed up in odin but when i press start nothing happens. please help

Pull the battery out.. wait 5 min. then press volume up button + home button. (hold button) , while u hold both button put back battery and press power button. at last u will hold 3 button. it worked on me.

As i said when i press keys "vol up+home+power" and putting battery back in phone makes odin recognize my port but dose not start flashing.
And when i press "vol down+home+power key" and putting battery back my phone port is not recognized by odin.........please help me.i dont know what to do.

if u turned the phone off while installing = BAD
installed mod for wrong phone = BAD
you could of bricked it but if u can get into bootloader or recovery then there should be hope i know there is a 30% chance you can fix it if you can get into it on the HTC's but with samsung they dont lets say think of a plan b

Yesterday i tray to change from 2.3.3. To 2.3.4. On a sgs2.....but i didnt wait to finish and i unpluget the usb cable from the phone and right it doesn't open it!!
What can i do!!sorry for disturbing u!!cheers !!AND TODAY I BUY A USB JIG FOR THE SGS2 BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Use Odin to flash a new kernel (Clockwork Recovery for example) as PDA. This time do NOT unplug before its finished.
Remember to flash the kernel while you're in DOWNLOAD MODE: Vol down + Home + Power
Try to get into either recovery or download mode.
TURN PHONE OFF
VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER
IF IT WORKS, PLUG IN AND OPEN ODIN AND FLASH AGAIN
hope it works for you

So you mean your device is completely dead? No Download mode, no keys are working, right?
Have you tried to pull out the battery for some secs and put it back again?
Regards.
Yes try to remove battery and put back in, and if nothing works then you broke the phone, time to send it back (tell them you did samsung kies update and this happened)

If you have tried all the things suggested and the phone cannot switch on, then how do you think Samsung will switch it on?
Right now you have an expensive paper-weight. And to be honest, you deserve it. The instructions for flashing the ROM will have told you not to unplug the USB until the flashing process was finished and roughly how long the flashing time would take.
So you have nothing to loose returning it to Samsung saying that it happened updating their KIES.

SGS2 Doesnt start up

Hi,
i flashed a rom it gvies error in oden, and now cell wont start up at all. All the black screen no power up button works
plz help
thx
Can you boot into download mode with power + home + volume down?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
all ele fails see if you can be as lucky as me and ring Samsung tell them you updated via Kies it restarted and it hasnt come back on since, say it was fully charged and you have tried different batteries, i just got away with it lol, also try n grab a usb jig see if that works
it doesnt even starts, black screen
Strangely that happened to me in 1 ocasion, I'll just take out the battery, put it again without turning on the device, leave it connected to the charger for a few hours and then turning on and it revived!
no not working in my case
best way and save way to flash the rom is CMW odin is risky
is there any other flash tool besides oden?

Won't Boot Into Android Recovery........

This may have been said before...but its a lil bit different. I have a new Note i717. Its unlocked...has ICS 4.0.4 on it. Not ROOTED. But..i can't get into even the Android recovery. No matter what i do. I seen another guy mention on here when he holds the crrect buttons down....it just goes buzz....buzz...buzz...forever until i let go...then it would boot up normally.
I put TWRP onto it recently...i put superuser into the internal card...but won't boot into it for nothing. What you guys think?
Edit:Can't Root This Phone For sh**. Dunno Why. My Other Note..I ROOTED In 5 Min. Something Aint Right.
Power off the phone. Then while holding down volume up and volume down press power. The phone will vibrate signalling that it is booting up. Let go of the power button and hold volume up and volume down until the first Samsung screen flashes on and off.

Doesn't Work. Nothing Works. Very Very Weird. I Had My White Note ROOTED Easily. For The Life Of Me...Can't Figure Out How To Get In This Mode. I Flashed The TWRP Recovery. Phone Isn't ROOTED Tho. I've Done All Kinds Of Ways. Nothing Is Working At All. A Factory Reset Wouldn't Help Any Right? Im Not ROOTED Or On A Custom ROM.
Edit: FINALLLLLLLLYYYYYY Got It To Work. The Lil Damn Things. I Guess Its Been awhile Since i Did All This ROOT Stuff. I Was Holding All 3 Down At The Same Time. Suppose To Hold Vol Up/Down.....Then Power...Like U Said Adonisd. Thanks Alot Brotha.
No problem. You are very welcome. Don't forget to add solved to your topic title.

If That Didnt Work ! Try This , It Must Work . If This Also Didnt Work. Ur Out Of Luck & U Gotta Pay Money And Repair Ur Mobile.
Method : (If U Stuck And Cant Go To Download Mode) : (Tested By Me In My Friend's GT-S5830i)
Step 1 – Prepare Odin with the firmware You want to flash and get it ready to Go.
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy ace-i to the computer (USB Cable).
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit.
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your Samsung Galaxy ( Yellow rectangle should appear).
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
If You do All Above Steps Correctly Then It should come back to life.
Hit Thanks Button If I Helped U ! :highfive:

Sometimes your still in download mode even if the screen is black. Press the button combination i gave you for 5 seconds (your phone should be off when you do this, this combination turns your phone on and into download mode) Then after let go of the 3 buttons and press the volume up button. You should be in download mode even if nothing is displaying. Just flash stock Rom using odin, i hope you know how to do that.

If U Want To Stay In Stock GB 2.3.6 . U May No Need To Root It. But If Ur Planing To Install Custom Rom. U May Need To Root And Install Ur Custom Rom.
Thank U For Ur Feedback

Actually you can flash a rom without the need of root. Use a temporal cwm and you are ready to go. You don't need to take out your sim nor sd card to use Odin, neither.
