Hi my vibrant seems to be bricked and nothing I do seems to be able to fix it.
I was using different 2.2 ROMS and I tried to reboot recovery but then it got stuck on the bootup screen.
So I tried to ODIN back to stock, except when I ODIN and it restarts the phone it turns off after the "Galaxy S" boot animation. Trying ODIN back multiple times won't fix the problem either.
I can go into the stock recovery and Download mode just fine. Anyone know what's wrong?
BTW it happened after I did partition SD card in ROM manager.
I heard that you could flash Eugene's 2.2 froyo ROM and it'll work but I can't even get into the bootloader, stuck on the default on. Please help
EDIT: Figured it out!
Having recently installed a miui rom, i found that my phone has become brocked. I can go to dwonload mode, and I can turn it on but there is only a blank screen. Does anyone know how to unbrick it?
Thanks
go into download mode open up ODIN and flash a stock ROM. Simple as that.
you should buy a jig to get download mode. Did you tried recovery mode ?

He said he can access Download mode which means he can flash a stock ROM and all will be good.
I can't seem to go into recovery mode

to get recovery get into download mode open Odin and flash CF-Root Kernel and then try to get into download mode that way.
I flashed the CF Root Kernel (XW_CLK_KF3), but it failed in Odin

onli flashing pda wont work i thinkk... you may need to repartition
go to http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-4-gingerbread-xxkg3-firmware-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s2/
flash it by repartitioning
download the package in it. it worked for me
Where can I find the stock ROM for a Bell Samsung GS2?

I have unbricked my phone but i can't access the android market, everytime time i open up the app it closes
my t-mobile galaxy s2 is dead after ICS upgrade failed
i am noobi. my galaxy s2 went through 2 stages before becoming dead.
1. i tried to flash I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar using odin. it got stuck in connection mode. then failed. when rebooted the phone, i got a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
2. now, odin still sees it. I tried different ROMs then the phone becomes dead. the phone is dead even after pressing the vol up+vol dn or any other key combination.
Now, windows 7 reports driver error when connecting the phone via usb. Linux sees the Qualcom modem, but heimdall failed to detect the phone. Any suggestion beside throwing my phone in trash is appreciated.
If you can't get into download mode (home/power/volume down), only thing you can try before you send it back to Samsung or get it JTAG repaired is a jig, which unfortunately is unlikely to work. Still worth a try tho.

Try uploading a stock kernel first, then try uploading the rom
Do we have to have a jig?

I had the Exact same problem as you this is what you need to do.
1. Take everything out of your phone micro sd ,sim battery
2.Get your Usb Port and connect the first side to your pc but not to the phone
3.Insert Battery
4.Hold the vol down butt and at the same time connect the Other side of the cable into the phone then you will see
DOWNLOAD MODE!!!!!
5.From there install your sock rom again using samfirmware.com
6.Done
so I recently Tried to flash stock rom onto my i717 i think it disconnected half way and now its stuck in this odin mode i keep trying to get it into download mode but nothing will work i even tried a jig when i connect to samsung kies it says device not responding
any help here ?
Reboot your pc, start odin, connect phone to pc, odin will connect, flash your rom.
That is just another version of the download mode screen.
Are you sure you have an i717?

Looks like you have a different model then the i717. Read up top in download mode, and read through this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33601483
Flashing stuff for other model phones can brick your device so always read read read. Good luck
