If you can't go to download mode, you have a chance with a USB jig, but you will more than likely have to JTag it.
You sure you have an I9100? Check the model on the label under your battery.

I9100G is not the same as I9100. You'll definitely need to JTag it.
In the future, don't try to install I9100 firmware and kernels to your I9100G.
And is google broken on your computer?

You can easily make a JIG yourself, it will cost you under 1US dollar to make it. the "Google broken" question means, that nobody can help you more than yourself, search for answers not for people to answer it, most of the problems have been talked about somewhere in this forum or in other ones, so use google...! XD
You can find a lot of tutorials of how to make your own JIG, google, youtube, any search engine bar you have... GOOD LUCK...
If you for any instance need a JTAG, talk to connexion2005, he'll help you to solve it. Solutions are not free though.
Hope some of this helps.

Goto service center and tell them mobile stopped working suddenly after restart. Dont tell anything about flashing etc. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free.
Once it is fixed, stay away from I9100 ROMS,kernels etc, and got to I9100G section.

i dont have a original usb of galaxy s2...i bought another one from market...will it be okay for making a jig....??
i saw the video bt i didnt understand that at which points should i connect the two wires in the usb....can someone explain me that...plz

the video guide I have linked in previouse post is explaining it very clearly ..we cant explain better than it...
there is one pin inside the micro USB male connector kept free I think pin 4 and you have to connect pin 4 with 300k resistor between pin no. 5 ...
take help of sombody has experiance with electronic repairing/soldering etc..

Oye oye ..... no begging knowledge is our birth right
JIG is basically a device which goes into your phone's MHL port (the port where you connect your USB cable) has a 103 Ohm (or KOhm don remember exactly) resister which sort of jump starts your otherwise dead phone into the download mode and resets your custom binary counter to 0.
Go to ebay if you are a n00b with electronics as well buy one from your region.
else go to you tube there are a billion videos on how to make one.
hope it helped

Google Service Framework keeps crashing
Did you get it to work? I can't downgrade my phone from 4.0.3 to any 2.3.x firmware. Flashing works fine and the phone starts up nicely, but once it enters the setup mode ("Welcome to GT-I9100" where you press the android for setup) for 2.3.x the Google Service Framework och application Software update keeps crashing and I can't proceed.
Any ideas?

Bricked with odin re-partition

Guys. I am in deep trouble. I was trying to help a friend and its bricked now.
I was flashing CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 with omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit and unfortunately re-partition was ticked automatically. After the flashing was passed the phone was removed. Now it doesnt turn on or anything. Its dead!
Please somebody gives me a fix please!!
u sure u got i9100g ? and reparation must be flashed with stock roms ....
ur phone give no light ? ....
Err...we have no cf-root available here...if you are really using a I9100G, then you flashed the wrong kernel....can you enter download mode? If not, do you have a usb jig?
if u got a i9100g use my GUIDE i mean this

Have you tried using a USB JIg?
If the Jig fails, you'd need to JTAG your phone.

It doesn't really matter. If phone won't even boot up then bootloader is bricked. If bootloader is bricked then you can't do anything with that as it won't even boot.

Ah well better return it to stock before sending it for repair. You'll need a mouse and otg cable to reset the flash counter using triangle away if the custom binary counter says 1 in download mode.
