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.

Moving to Q&A
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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
So i need to send in my phone for repairs because my battery gets drained like crazy and i tried everything to stop it. (dozen different roms/kernels completely "naked" without ANY apps and it still drains ~10% an hour).
so anyway, my JIG worked fine all the time (got me into download mode every time), but since i need to reset the binary counter i flashed the XWKG1 firmware and the old bootloader through odin and everything works fine, except my JIG does not bring me into download mode anymore. when i plug it in, the phone just boots normally. i can get into download mode with 3 button method but it just shows me that the counter is still on 1.
any suggestions?
searching for this matter is kinda hard, because "jig not working" brings up all kinds of threads about the jig not resetting due to newer bootloader, and "jig not starting download mode" doesnt bring the desired results either.
so any help would be much appreciated.
greetz
strange!!!
Home made jig or purchased one? Sometime any short circuite on the jig resisters???
if available try with another jig...
you can flash again old bootloader and try.
purchased one. i already opened it up to check for short circuit, and the color coding of the resistor is correct aswell (301k)...

If the jig is working properly then you should get to dl mode with old bootloader. You can get info regarding how to install it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and here http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/23/...oader-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-to-enable-usb-jig/

thats exactly what i'm saying. i have the right firmware, and the right bootloader flashed, but when i plug in my JIG the phone boots normally. i can get into download mode with volume down+home+power but that way i cant reset my binary counter.
Logic says buy a new USB jig as the cost is so small .

even if you keep posting, you dont get any suggestions other than below :
1) try your jig on any other phone
2) try with new jig
3) try flashing old bootloader again
Everythig fail, flash ICS and use Triangle Away app.

Yeah I guess. Bootloader is not the problem, as it worked before. Plus, according to other threads, ICS bootloader works with jig, but it only force-boots to download, not flashing Odin counter. As stated, that doesn't even work.
I'm a noob and I know it
odin failed when updating ( it suddenly shows fail )
which gave me a hard brick afterwards ! ( I cant make the combo , cant get into recovery menu )
Im wondering if i buy a usb Jig , can it actually works ?
cause I saw that many people is having issues with USB JIG and claims that it dosen't work
for I1900G
HELP NEEDEEEDDDD !!!!!
or should i surrender ?
Only way is JTAG.
If even that doesn't work,you can do nothng . :/

well, i risk my friends phone to try and root, i installed the wrong the all-in-one zip which will root and replace recovery with CMW .
It made me a soft bricked , cannot be boot or stuck at boot logo. and the recovery wont work. i tried the solution made by others that using odin3 executive v1.0.0. i went into download mode and start the button on odin3. on the half way. the message stops. i've force to unplug it and see weather it works . but then nothing happen. i can't even boot up the phone .
anyway , when i tried to connect it to the pc . the driver logo popup but installation of driver failed .
I wonder if USB JIG could help me go into download mode again .
help :crying::crying:
If you can manage getting USB jig try it... And if you cant i better recommend you jtag...
Anyways what u were flashing via odin?
Peace

Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!
Edit: Samsung service has replaced the mother board!!
Doing the pit partition has resulted in my phone getting bricked!!
So people new to the forum, never do it :laugh:
Hi,
You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)

We already have plenty of topics about this why do you feel the need to create another? Your symptoms are no different to others and the answers are no different.
If you cant access download or recovery and cant power on then try a USB jig. If that doesnt work then you will need to take/send it for repair which will either be JTAG or complete mobo replacement.
Just because you create your own topic it doesnt mean answer is going to be any different.

I had the same problem.. I could get into the download mode by:
1. Phone completely OFF state
2. Connect the USB cable to the phone and PC ( The battery charging indication has to come, atleast once )
3. Fire up ODIN
4. Get the phone into download mode ( Vol-down+home+Power ) while the phone is connected
5. The phone is now recognized by ODIN.
I could flash a kernel (tried siyah and Philz) but the phone was not booting.
While trying to flash Stock and XXLSJ, ODIN was getting failed at factoryfs.fs
After a few trys, the phone just went dead!!
Hope you can flash a firmware successfully :good:

You are misinterpreting what you read. What you're referring to is resetting the binary counter, and no it doesn't work on ICS bootloader however it still works for putting device into download mode (unless its bricked).

"Soft-brick" has absolutely no meaning, Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. Its a made up term by n00bs when they cant get system to boot normally. Your devcie is only bricked when it wont power on or go into useable recovery+download modes. If you can simply use a jig or go directly into flashing a rom then your device is not bricked.
The "bricked" term is used far too loosely nowadays.

I'm using the leak version of Sammobile since 3 weeks... Why do you think the phone make a bad reaction now? why now?
Ok, you try to flash OFW and don't result. and then you flash again the XXLSJ ? and the phone colaspe?
What kind of roms do i flash? OFM or CFW ? ICS or JB ?
Well if a can connect with ODIN of course
A quick question!!
Is it possible that the phone can be revived (put into download mode) using a JIG if it is not starting at all for any key combinations and it is not showing charging animation when plugged into a computer or a power source??

Yes its possible which is the reason we already mentioned to try it
It all depends on the actual base issue though as to whether it will work. Its worth a try either way though, They only cost £1-2 or you can make them yourself if you have the spare parts. (Don't ask how, Use search).
I have tried the JIG, but no luck!!
I have given the phone to Samsung Service.
Hope they fix it!!
Will they use JTAG or it has to be done somewhere else in case Samsung people refuse to do it??
They wouldn't refuse just act dumb tell something like you were updating firmware via kies and all of a sudden power went down and device bribed
