Hi I bricked my sgs2.
It won't turn on or even come up with a screen when plugged into the mains.
So I looked on here and people was mentioning a jig.
Bought one and still doesn't bring up download mode.
Anyone know how I can bring my sgs2 back to life
Thanks

JIG's aren't a fix for bricked phones mate, they just assist with download mode and counter reset.
There has been quite bit of mis-information about them.
I am not expert enough to help, sorry dude, hopefully someone can steer you in the right direction.

Im in the exact same situation. Feeling pretty dumb at the moment.....
Jig didnt worked for me either. Damn
The story is
SGS 1 usb brought the phone to download mode when three button trick failed
SGS 2 Someone found early that using the jig to boot phone zeroed the custom rom counter.
SGS2 presumption was that the jig would still help with download mode so many have told the many newbies who have flashed without following instructions to buy a jig
Last week a poster said it does not and can not recover download mode unless the three button download mode also works .
jje
Thanks man. So that means my phone is dead ?

So I was in the middle of messing with my note, rooted already and working great. Just downloaded a ROM to the SD. Not installing anything. Note not plugged in but 98% on battery.
All of a sudden the screen is blank. Can't get anything to turn on. Don't see anything on the screen. Nothing. Changed battery, plugged it in, no dice nothing.
Ideas? Hardware issue?
Any and all help is appreciated.
By the way was on stock ROM.
Really any help is appreciated.
Try downloading and running the is odin one click. And try to put your phone in download mode. if it does not work. hardware failure and youll need a new device
I would try the above, download mode, all different modes of the phone to see what's working.
Also i would try holding the power button for 8 mississippi seconds and see if it vibrates.
hmmm

Buddy, I think you have the magic jig.
But I hear that's what all the girls say.
So i was attempting to root this thing and put a fancy new rom on it, but have got lost along the way and now the phone will not boot into download or recovery modes. It just says Samsung Vibrant and stays there until I pull the battery. I am unable to do the key combos for any of the modes. The only way I could get into recovery was through adb command. But now I cant even do that. Any suggestions or should I just throw it in the can! Thanks

Yes a usb jig (dongle) should solve your problem but its not a guarantee. I would recommend buying one anyway, its a good thing to have around just in case things go wrong. They are only a few bucks so its worth it. You can also try using odin, I have heard of people flashing to stock without a download screen, if you see a yellow com box in odin then your good to go.

try this.. it works for me..
1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)
2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC
(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)
3- Power down Phone if you had not already.
4- Remove the battery.
5- Plug USB into Phone.
6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.

Yea I have seen that screen before, the dongle is going to be your fix most likely. Just wait for the usb jig if you ordered one, it should put you into download mode no problem. If for some reason the jig doesn't work then let us know.

@MikePysh
I have been in this situation. I feel for you. This the mothergoosing EU bug.
Best bet (and this is how I did it) is to replace the motherboard (I know it sounds scary but it is NOT).
Here are the steps:
1. Buy a used/busted/for parts Vibrant (broken LCD, etc) or even a Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959v from eBay or wherever you can. Do not pay more than US $30-35 if it comes down to that. These two phones, i.e. your T-Mobile Vibrant SGH-T959 and the upgraded 4G version SGH-T959v have the same specs with the exception that the 4G radio is activated on the "v" version.
2. You can either fix it yourself (if you feel brave) or take it to a repair shop and maybe pay US 20-25 for labor to replace the motherboard.
It entirely depends on how badly you want to fix it without throwing it away.
Check out this: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Vibrant to get a feel if you can do it yourself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks fham! Sounds like a project I might attempt.

Hi
Samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 did an auto update and a few hours later the phone shut down and would not restart. When you attempt to restart the Samsung logo appears on the screen and the phone locks up until you either hold down the power button which causes it to reboot and again lock up when the samsung logo appears or remove battery.
Have tried a hard reset by holding the vol home and power buttons but it won’t reset. The only thing it will do is go in to flash custom rom mode.
Has this happened to any of you guys?
Has anyone got any idea what I could do??
P.s the phone is a standard uk sim free phone and it has not been poked with.... no custom roms no root…
Thanks

Hi
i've been through the stickies a few times and if something was relevant to me i either missed it or I didn't understand it.
As i can't get into hard reset by pressing vol up plus home plus power am i right to say i also can't get into the recovery.
i was hoping when that chap mentioned recovery there was a different method of getting there.
the phone is able to only go in to one mode... pressing volume down plus home plus power gets into a os downloading mode.
I tried to use kies with this mode but it doesn't seem to see the phone when connected to usb (pc beeps when phone is plugged in it installs something drivers I think) I was hopping to use recovery firmware in kies..
Any ideas
Thanks

This is what they sent me "Please ensure that you only send the device itself with the battery, remove all SIM cards/microSD cards and back up any important files." Nothing about the cover but battery seems to be important. The phone cant turn on and I even told them that so I dunno how I'm supposed to back up important files.
