Hi,
my phone turned off during flashing - low battery.
Now don´t react at all. Is not reacting for any button...
Pls help.
Thx
Charge the battery first or buy a new battery .

plug it into the wall charger for a few hours it will work again you may have to reflash from base again, be careful when flashing on low battery scholboy error

don't flash a rom when you're low on battery, you might brick it for good.
recharge first and reflash when you're battery is full or about 50% (if you cannot wait)
I know I´m stupid do that with low battery but that happened...
sure I charged the battery but also after that is phone no working...
No reacting for any button...

Recovery mode no ??
Download mode ??? no
Next step is buy a USB recovery jig and try to get to download mode .
Fails its pay for a JTag repair cheaper than paying for a service repair .
jjr
To JJEgan: Thank you and yes you´re right.
Recovery mode no
Download mode no
Flashing was in progress. Already few minutes and now phone is without any reaction.
Total death...
Any other solution without USB jig cable?
I think is not so easy buy it in shops and will take time...
Jig will more than likely not work, but worth a try. Apart from that, you need a JTAG repair done by a 3rd party; cheaper option or have Samsung repair it; more expensive option unless they somehow miraculously repair it under warranty.
Unless you know you can get it JTAG repaired & the phone back to you before the jig arrives, you might as well wait for the jig. You never know, it may work.

not much optimism from you
Warranty I don´t know. Is second hand piece but still under warranty but that´s buyed in Czech Republic but what I found by the core nr. is polish version...
But ok I already ordered jig and will see.
Thanks
Warranty void if custom rom or phone rooted or custom rom counter above zero.

I'm being honest with you. The jig has maybe a 5% chance of working. The NAND likely got corrupted when the phone died midway thru the flash.
If I'd said to you (like some people on here would) 'Oh yeah, get a jig, guaranteed to get you into download mode every time !' & the jig ends up not working, how would you feel after you'd got your hopes up ?
The reality is jigs do not work in the vast majority of these situations, and only a JTAG repair (either by a 3rd party or by Samsung) will fix it. Unfortunate, probably. But that's the way these things go.

Unless you can get hold of a Jig, I just watched a demo of how to make your own one, looks very simple indeed.

Hi,
since this morning my SGS II doesn't start up anymore, of course it's impossible to reach the download mode...
Is possible to do somethind thought the JIG in order to make the phone turn on again or do I have to go to the Samsung Center?
(the battery was fully charged, I turned on the phone at 8:00 am and found it dead at 10:00 am, tried charging it but without any succes, it became warm but it didn't turn on in any mode)
Thank u guys.
When did you buy it? Maybe the battery is dead. If you have a friend with an s2 around ask him/her to borrow the battery. Otherwise no clue. Any rom installed? Tried removing battery and putting it back in?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I bought it on july (in Italy), it doesn't charge when connected... I'll try with another battery but the fact that the phone became warm even if it's not charging seems to say that the battery is still alive.
I've the Cognition S2 ROM and yes I've tried pulling out the battery
Hmmm thats hard. Maybe the hardware inside is damaged or something like that. If thats the case its bad because there is no way to avoid a repair by samsung. Hopefully they won't recognise that its rooted ;( sobif this wont work you should consider calling support. There may be another way but if its a hardware problen its useless. A device called usd jig could probably (probably!) work. Thats a device for 10$ which should put bricked galaxy phones into download mode. You can search it via amazon but its your choice.
EDIT: ah just recognized you already wrote about the jig. Again it might work might not.
If you have any questions or stuff like that just pm me I am happy to help

Try with usb only.

Sent from my GT-I9100
It is not normal for a device to just die like that unless there is a hardware failure. Looks like type phone will be making a trip back to where it came.
Hopefully they won't find out its been rooted, but I heard that if its a hardware problem chances are they won't know of the root and just fix the hardware.

I think that a JIG is useless in my case cause you can use it if the phone at least turn on... my sgs is completely dead... Or am I wrong and the JIG can be used also with a turned off phone?
Youre welcome just click say thank you to my name
Yes i also think the jig wont help if its off. But i wish you luck when they repair it dont think we can do much...
Sent from my GT-I9100
you need to have the phone turned off, to use a JIG. It will simply force the phone into download mode.
A jig wont work if the phone has a damaged bootloader and in your case it certainly sounds like you have one.A usb jig is to get the phone into download mode but not in all situations.If the phone has just died and wont enter into download/recovery or even turn on to show the bricked icon or even light up the menu and back arrow then you can bet that have a damaged bootloader.If the service centre wont take care of it then the only option is a jtag.

Hi, could you please tell me where can I found a jtag? Ebay?
I found a RIFF JTAG, but I think that is a little bit too expansive for a one time use... I'll try with a jig, then with samsung assistance and at last buying a RIFF JTAG...
If your phone goes into download mode you don't need the jig or jtag or stuff like that

The problem is that my phone actually doesn't even turn on.... nor in normal way neither in download mode...
Google MobileTechVideos. Josh Groce the site owner performs JTAG or unbricking of phones and tablets to include your SGS2. He is known in XDA as Connexion2000. He repaired my bricked Galaxy Tab 7 for $ 50 with free priority return shipping. His business address is in Dallas, Texas. I highly recommend him. You can see demos of his work in you tube. Just google it.

Thank you for your advice, but unfortunately I'm far away from USA... it will cost me too much in shipping (money and time).
I'll consider this way if it will be less expansive than buying a JTAG.
Search on youtube for "riff box jtag".Its basically the last resort when you have to take out the motherboard of your phone connect it to the box and give the big reset/overhaul.The good thing about it is it has the capabilaty to unbrick and repair a damadged bootloader which is what is causing your phone to not start-up.Its about 100 to 160€ to buy but its better than buyin a new phone.Also if you search enough you can find dealers or people that have one that will do it for you so you dont have to buy the box yourself.Alot of mobile dealers are starting to get their hands on them now.Youll probably find someone willing to do it for you if you google in you country for riff box jtag.
Hello,
i was loading new fw to my Galaxy 2 and suddenly electric was cut off and it kept downloading..
i had to pull the battery out after waiting half an hour and it is not turning on anymore..
i can't enter recovery, download mode..
Device is fully silent though full battery..
now that means that it is bricked and what is the solution ?
thanks for your help in advance..

Have a Jig? Could try with that.
Were you doing it through a pc? Laptops have ups built in and so does your phone. Less chance of bricking when using a laptop.

A JIG is used on turned off phones. It forced the phone to enter Download mode, even when the user can't get there while pressing the buttons.
You seem to have a soft bricked phone due to a bad flash, so a JIG might work on yours. I would suggest you buy one on ebay (there like 10 bucks) or make one yourself. You can find the tutorial here somewhere on XDA.
Its worth the money and it is always worth a try.

Hi,
i have a friend who has a jig.
He told me "ahh that's okay we can hearten it with jig don't worry dude ! "
But you should see his face when it was not working : )
He turned his face to me disappointly and told me that " dude, we have to change your mother board "
We changed it with the payment 400 $

Hi
I installed the MIUI rom on my S2,and to cut a long story short i decided to change to another rom, due to the camcorder not working and the phone getting very hot.
I thought i would follow this guide theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-android-2-3-2-on-samsung-galaxy-s-leaked-rom
I thought it looked nice an easy.
I followed the guide to the letter,and now my phone is dead.
It doesn't matter what button combo i try the phone wont switch on at all it is completely dead,the 3 button press,vol. down + Home + Power.
Volume UP or Down + power,the power button by itself,nothing will bring it back to life.
The battery at the time had 98% charge in it when it died.
The phone wont even show on the pc,nor will it charge through the pc or wall charger.
Is there anything i can do? Or is the phone dead?
I eagerly await your replies.

This is because you have installed a Galaxy S ROM on a Galaxy SII. How you did not realize this is beyond me. Anyway, the only thing you can do is to order a USB Jig and see if that will put it into download mode. Otherwise, your phone is dead.
EDIT: To answer your question "Will that actually work", I don't think we can say for sure. I give it a 40% chance of working.

If a jig won't work will a samsung service centre get it working?
George
Well samsung service center will get it working since they have all the necessary tools to jtag it. You could make one too if you are well versed with hardware, just search it up. Anyways samsung service center might find out about the custom roms on your device so you will have to pay to get it repaired.
Yeah i know mate, I'm not bothered about paying for service center repair.
Anyone know how much Samsung take for JTagging a phone?(Is that the correct term?)
I will try the USB jig method first,I'll order one from the bay.
Many thanks for your help guys.
George
Right guys i had a look on ebay for the USB jig,and one guy says this in the item description:
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not
display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo
when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you."
Does that mean the jig wont work for my problem?
George
You shouldn't be installing a Galaxy S 1 rom on your SGS2..
doubt the "rom" flash killed it , what killed it probably was flashing the i9000 pit file.. meaning the jig wont help u at all, you need a jtag now.. build your own (hard) or Samsung service centre.
Yeah i know that now mate....It's an expensive painful lesson.It wont happen again.
George
Any guides on how to jtag bud,is it easy
Worst case scenario is the service center...Do you know how much samsung charge for this,is it very expensive?
Much obliged.

uhm i have no idea, ive only ever seen videos of the jtag, have no idea how you would even begin to build one... its like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs
Honestly!! id call samsung and pretend that i was updating my fw through kies and that happened, if you actually admit you were messing around in odin they will likely void your warranty and charge you.. Before anything else, call samsung first id say. much easier method than the jtag stuff.
I'm not the original owner of the phone mate,so a claim on warranty is out the window.
I don't mind paying for the service,after seeing how hard the Jtag thing is
I actually found that video that you linked too,after watching it i would say it's not a DIY job,not for me anyway.
The company in the video offers a JTag service for 75 bucks,just under £50,have you or anyone else heard of them before,would anyone recommend them,are they reliable,i would be grateful if anyone could advise me on using this service.

If you can see the samsung bootloader then yeah there's hope otherwise you're gonna need the $100 fix for it.
But at least people are responding, I got no love on my end, lol
keeping things in perspective, as I posted before, I have never seen anyone report that a jig does any good on this phone..
You would be better off either using JTAG, or calling Samsung, and playing stupid, and tell them it died after you did an update that the phone requested..they will send you a replacement, with no questions asked.
go through the general and q&a sections; you will see that a jig doesn't do anything for this phone..

Well smokestack76 told you differently yesterday. He said over 20 times with a jig. Plus for $1.60 I will give it a try.
yes, for the price, if it makes you feel better, try it..
and, if you believe him, when you can find 20 others that said it did absolutely nothing, then that's your choice.
the sooner you send it in to Samsung, the sooner you will have a working phone..
If Samsung is wiling to send you a loaner phone while you're under warranty i can't see why you wouldnt do that.
I know Nintendo is awesome like that but apparently Samsung reps are quite jaded when you do something silly like ask an honest question.
I wish Samsung would honor warranty services if the device hasn't been on the market longer than year.
I'm A. Maybe he Made a mistake and wants to own up for it insted of weasling into a fraudulent phone.
B. I would be a little jaded as well when I get people calling me all day that have messed up their own phone and are now trying to steal from me.
C. Samsung does honor warranties a year after the device has been on market. YOUR WARRANTY DOES NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE. not when the first one of its kind rolls off the assembly line.
Also, wase a jig does work of you are not actually bricked, if you were to be soft bricked the jig would force download mode. I had a captivate I built a jig for, first thing I did was try it on my note. Bam, download mode.
And finally op it's a micro usb jig not mini. Mini is bigger than micro
yeah bro, I know a jig works for SOME phones; it helped me bring my S2 back to life..
However, I have read many many reports of it doing nothing for the Note, so that was why I said what I did..
Plus, people are using the term "Bricked" around here in so many ways, that its hard to know what they mean when they say it..to me, a bricked phone is DEAD, and nothing but an expensive paperweight.....
I can take a video of my note going from off to download mode with nothing but my jig. However the same jig that works on both my phones is out of resistance tolerance on my brothers sgs2.
And yes bricked is used much too often,it is a term to describe when your phone is inert, has no pliability and just sits there, like the baked red clay building material it was named for.
was curious to see if the OP had any luck with the jig....
Well the jig did nothing for me. I suggest send your phone to mobiletechvideos.com for repair, he goes through the JTAG recovery method, and he also unlocked mine... he did a great job. I bricked my Note flashing a ROM for another device by mistake, could not use the jig for anything, so had it repaired. Feeling really happy now... hope this helps.
the jig isn't and was never meant to fix a hard brick...
[history lesson]
Back on captivate, certain bootloaders would disable the button combos for download and recovery, making a simple (I hate the term... But) soft brick into a much stickier situation, so it was discovered that using 300k ohms of resistance across certain pins on the usb port from a powered off state would trigger download mode in seconds, making you then able to simply odin a stock rom and try again.
It was later discovered that the jig had the same effect on the sgs2 with the added benefit of restting the flash counter.
[/history lesson]
If you flash a firmware for the international note on an i717 you will need jtag because you are indeed bricked of the hard variety.

Nope gig still in the mail, however took Note to ATT Device Service Center and they told me mother board failure and replaced it. So might not have been related to flashing, inspection seem pretty in depth, removed back cover, using multi meter type of tool and said mother board didn't provide correct response to input. My mandatory 10 days to return no functioning unit is 17 Dec so don't think will have chance to try the jig before I send it back or be charged $549 for non-functioning unit.

might as well keep the jig for the couple of bucks it cost..plus, even if it doesn't work for this phone, it might work for your next one!
Okay so I just got my new phone
And I noticed it was version 2.3.4
So I read about how to upgrade it to 2.3.6
so I did it with odin and when I started to process
it just froze and I unplugged my phone and turned it off
Then I tried to get it on again but that would not happen?
I also tried to get in download mode again that wont work either
Also when I plug my usb into the phone my computer wont regonize it
Is my phone dead now????
I just had it like for 1 day....
Please help me
remove the battery for a minute, but it back in and press vol down+home key+ power button... maybe it will work this way.
where did it freeze in odin?
did you had your drivers installed correctly?

My driver were installed correctly, before all the problems it would just show up on KIES
And im not really sure were it started to fail in Odin but it looked like odin stopped working and just froze so that's why I removed to usb and turned it off.
And I just tried to get in download mode again but no luck..
Keep trying to get into DL mode; remove battery - put it back in, hold home/vol down/power. Try a jig as well, if you can't get one easily there's a thread in General where people have offered to lend their jigs to other people, there might be someone near you with one.
If you can't get into DL mode & there's no other signs of life from the phone, it's a service centre job. If that happens, play dumb. Say as little as possible. You never know, you might blag it for warranty service/replacement (This is never guaranteed tho given you borked it & they're quite within their rights to charge you).

Its just totally dead...
but I can send it for repairs right?
its one day old
Oh yeah, of course it can be repaired In similar cases it's often a motherboard replacement. How much that costs will depend on how much labour/parts cost in your part of the world.

Just got motherboard replaced
Hi,
I just got my motherboard replaced.My phone was out of warranty though.
But your is,
My phone was rooted,but service centre wont be able or try to detect that ,new motherboard replace everything even ur IMEI. So just go to service centre and dont tell them the reason that you tried odin.
first thing,never ever try to remove usb if ODIN frozes.it will brick ur phone.wait for long like 20-30 min for expensive phone.have a coffee in between.
They took 9000 INR which is now 155 usd. Dont worry they will replace it if you dont tell the correct reason and you sud have invoice.
Try volume up_home+power button.

I was al new to odin etc
I never thought it would kill my phone
The reason I was trying to update was because my wifi signal was very weak
and with the 2.3.6 update that would have been fixed...
But ill go to the service center and tell them a other story
There are never any guarantees with this. You take the phone in, keep the story simple & you cross your fingers. There have been cases like this where people here have been told 100% guaranteed by people on here they'd get their phone repaired for nothing & they haven't.
If you expect Samsung to fix your phone/the thought of not having a warranty scares you, you don't mess with it in the first place.

Okay thanks,
When I charge me dead phone it does get really hot!
idk if that's still a sign of life...
Thankyou Captain Obvious.
I'm pretty sure I said in my first post (I did) that it would likely be a service centre job.
And what I also said was you're never 100% every single time guaranteed to get it repaired/replaced for nix if you've messed with it (as the OP has). For some reason, you failed to get that bit. Comprehension not a strong point, eh ?
OP - Phone heating up at back near the top/camera - dead. Sooner you send it in/get it fixed the sooner you'll be able to use your phone again.
