Bricked help please!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just got my sgs2 and think I interrupted the Odin process when rooting. Does this screen when trying to boot normally mean its bricked?
And any fixes?
Thanks I'm panicking!!

Remove battery replace try again .

Power off phone. Then hold down home button, power and volume down button at the same time to enter download mode.
Launch Odin and connect your phone.
If Odin recognizes your phone you can flash using whatever ROM you want.
Good luck

Yellow is correct preflash .
Flash a stock rom from stock treads and or try different root file .
Are you putting the file in PDA .

To flash. Just go here and pick up ROM you need. (Newest ones are in bottom of the post).
The instructions are very clear and simple.

okay, but i have one more question, i saw on youtube how to use odin, and quite simple. but, i think they use odin to upgrade the firmware from old firmware to newest firmware. Is this also applies to flashed Galaxy Ace too? now my android version is 2.3.7 (icecream sunday). but when i saw on sammobile.com, the latest firmware is 2.3.4, is that matter?

U get bootloops only if ur flashing a rom in cwm. Its not that important to factory reset the phone if ur flashing stock rom in odin bcoz odin does it for you when flashing d rom. System is formatted, new dalvik cache is built, cache partition is formatted etc...etc... all this is done by odin.

Rooting the galaxy and skins

Hey I have a question for you guys I read somewhere about something called a flash counter which gives information to samsung that you have tampered with their rom (when they check it of course). So my question is by using SGS3 toolkit 2.0 does this happen. Let's say I have problems with the phone will the warranty still be valid. Also about installing skins. Do I have to root in order to install let's say the ICS Domination.
Thanks in advance and sorry for asking such noob questions

I actually have one more question. If I decide can I "unroot" the phone, just get it back to factory settings without Samsung finding out I had messed with the phone.

Leaked LSJ Custom ROM stuck at Boot Logo

I downloaded one of the leaked custom roms of LSJ (Simplistic and Wanamlite). I flashed it, but the problem is it gets stuck with the boot logo. What seems to be the problem here? I have wiped everything. From data to cache. I came from CM10 nightlies, dorimanx kernel.
All replies will be much appreciated.
I believe the mask might be the problem because jb is new file structure. It may strip all mods from your phone.
Yu may have to wait until the offical version has been out for a while before flashing it.

Quite a possibility that the file you have download it may be corrupted so download it once again and check the md5 checksum and then flash it.. Also don't forget to wipe data and cache partition

The file was not corrupt because if it was corrupt, I cannot open it via winrar. Quite strange. I have also did a full wipe in data and cache.

Galaxy S3 doesn't start - only download mode

Hi all guys, i'm new here and i need your help.
One day ago i installed the Custom ROM "Super Nexus Beta5" on my galaxy. It worked for a day but now, when i turn on my phone, i see this (attachment)
And i can only turn on in download mode.
If i flash some firmware with odin, i have this error: There is no Pit-Partition.
Can you help me?
Sorry for bas english, Thanks.
If there is no pit, you need motherboard replacement because of eMMC failure.
