hello experts
sgs2 update failed and cannot get to download mode
how can i do for this case?i hear about that USB recovery jig can help
but whats the USB recovery? and how can i get that?
Any help that i can start my phone again ??
Thanks in advance guys :'(
Order a jig from eBay & wait for it to arrive. If you can't get into download mode now, that's your best/probably only chance.

If it's really bricked you can only return it or use the only fix:
A Jtag repair.
However I doubt he has the equipment that is necessary, so he'll have to hope that he finds some service that does such repairs. Otherwise he'll need a new phone or all the equipment.

What is a jig?
Plugin in the charger and wait for the battery loading animation. Then power it on

Search in Ebay for USB jig. It resets the ROM counter. But do try to remove the battery for 5 mins and see, I think it should work.

JIG might not help you in this case, since you have only BLACK screen... however this JIG can sometimes make miracle and bring your phone into Download mode...
The JIG was originaly developed for fixing bricked devices, so you could enter the download mode, secondary, it resets counter, which is great thing if you have been rooted and need warranty replacement... try to youtube galaxy jig and see some tutorials how it works - or if you have spare 301k resistor + microUSB cable which you can spare, you can make one for yourself, its very easy!

If the phone is not turning on, it might not always work, coz there might be some HW fault, if its just about booting issue, then it will help

I have ordered a JIG too. I hope it will arrive soon.
I have just one question: Can a failed boot or a failed firmware update destroy the hardware?
Thank you all

I believe, that under some circumstances, it can be possible
Good luck I hope the jig gets your phone back up and running.
Ok NOW i have a problem......
The Jig does not work. I´ve testet the Jig on another SGS, the Jig work´s, but not for my bricked phone.
I have sent my phone to a samsung partner in austria.
I told them it was a problem with kies xD
I hope they wouldn´t find out about the flash.....the screen is just black, so they couldn´t see anything.
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.
gr8... hope i
dont hav to visit warrnty ever..

Moving to Q&A
i have just flashed it with the wrong Sofware (by accident) and it wasnt working so i disconnected it now it wont boot and wont go into recovery mode or download mode please help????
Sounds like a hard brick, there isn't a way to recover it. Out of interest what software did you flash? Was it just a wrong package or was it software that was designed for a different phone? There might be a minor chance of recovery depending on what went wrong. (But don't get your hopes up)
it was my dads galaxy s2 and the original software for my galaxy s i hope there is a way to unbrick it would it help if i said i didn't root it before i started i forgot and went straight into it ??
That's a pretty bad mistake... The only way you could possibly recover it is if you buy a USB Jig and give that a try. Otherwise I'm afraid your up **** creek without a paddle.
Jig
Seems u have Bricked your Device Use USB Jig to UnBrick it
1. USB jig to force into download mode
2. Key combo (Vol down + home + power) and then immediately connect to PC via USB, or try at same time
3. JTag repair
4. Samsung repair

You did a big mistake, you can only use a USB jig and hope the cell reboot!
You can buy a USB JIG from Amazon using the following link:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...d-keywords=usb+jig&x=0&y=0&tag=011080bfcam-20
Or you can even make your own USB JIG. Here is a useful video that shows you how to make a a USB JIG

thanks all who helped i have ordered a JIG off of eBay will be here Monday or Tuesday. i was just wandering if a JIG didn't work how do you use a JTAG ??

You'll need to send it to someone who owns one. Will usually be cheaper than Samsung.

A JIG won't ever help in these situations. JTAG is the only solution left.
A JIG is to force a phone to download mode with a WORKING bootloader. You messed up the whole phone my flashing a I9000 fw, including the bootloader.
the battery gets hot when i charge it i plug in the jig and the battery goes flat anything there??

try getting it to enter download/recovery mode..if it doesn't then use a usb jig..if that doesn't get your phone into download mode then you're better off buying a new phone or get it repaired at a service centre
Flash hard bricked phones with jtag.
no screen on switching phone. But can be connected via odin but cant be flashed with it.

May I ask, what are you exactly trying to point out? If you have a blacked out screen, with no power, recovery or download mode then I suggest you take it to samsung service centre. JTAG does fix dead bootloaders but you will need some experience of soldiering and wiring.

I said if odin can detect it on a black screen. It can be fully repaired with JTAGging! If you go to samsung service centre they will say the board needs to be replaced and charge will be high if you are out of warranty. And yes you need to know some soldiering if you have the jtag box. Or else ask someone who can give this service.

NO RECOVERY MODE.

I see.. Before you do JTAG, do you have "some" knowledge of the JTAG Riff box? Yes the Samsung service center do rip people off .. However the JTAG box is not cheap whatsoever.
