hi,
i get one i9100p
at first a try to update it ... to unlock it with z3x
flash with odin begin and stop ... i wait after 30 minutes and i try to reflash it but now phone is complety dead ....
i try to put it in download mode with different methods but phone still dead

phone dead and not detected by pc
any suggestions ? any solutions please ?
thanks in advance
If you cant get it into download mode, your only option would be either to send it to samsung for repair (will probably cost a lot) or a JTAG (google for your nearest location, and is probably cheaper)

its just because i'm from france ... and i dont know how to search any personne having jtag or some things like that ???
So what did you flash in Odin anyway? You don't specify in your post.
Regarding your JTAG dilemma, from your last response, I would recommend contacting Samsung.

Just take it to Samsung. They will either JTAG it for you or replace the motherboard. Since your phone won't boot or go to download or recovery they cannot see you've done anything naughty with the warranty.
Say you did a Kies update and it never came back on.
i flashed with odin pit , pda , code and cs and i dont touche boot ?
so i dont understand why that !!!

Why would it cost? If the phone won't boot at all Samsung won't know what he's done and will do a warranty swap.

There has been people with phones under warranty that had to pay for their phones to be repaired (failed odin and etc). Hence the reason why I said "probably".
If he doesnt have to pay, good for him.

If the phone won't boot then Samsung can't tell what happened. As long as s/he lies and said it occurred via a Samsung sanctioned activity (like Kies flash) and the device is not physically damaged/liquid ingressed then it is a warranty job.
If OP does something pants-on-head-retarded like say "it died cos I repartitioned via Odin lol" then of course they will charge.
it mean then there are no solution
and i have to waranty it samsung
yes ?

Do say that to the people who had to pay for repair on their bricked phones after sending it to samsung. Im only stating an info from a few people who actually posted their complaint here on the forums.

I can't comment on things without knowing the context. Are the threads still near the top?
For what it's worth I think that if you brick your phone you SHOULD be expected to pay for it. I would like to see this in action.
EDIT: If you mean the people who have been denied in the rc6 thread... they had their device JTAG'd first and Samsung saw the soldering on the mainboard, not the kernel.
it mean that if i send it to samsung , they will repair it for me without pay ?

No not those. Dont think they are at the top since they are from just a few months ago.

Only way to know is to just send them the phone and see what they say.

Hi Folks,

no, nothing. still black screen / no power.
i think, my mistake was a wrong .pit - i was using the 512.pit, i'm a sgs2 noob ^^
afaik, you do not flash PIT for this phone, ever.
Try removing the battery, then turning on, download mode, recovery etc. If that doesn't work, you're screwed.
Try purchasing a jig. To be honest though, it sounds hard bricked. When you plug it into a power source and try to power it on if nothing at all happens that's usually a bad sign.
To offer you saving point, there are two or three places on the web that offer Jtag services which rewrite the default boot loader.
What were you doing when this happened?
Did the flash complete successfully?
These things are hard to brick although not impossible.
Edit: Oh, just saw the pit reference. Ouch, you are going to need Jtag, friend.

Dead as a dodo, jtag or RMA and hope they don't notice, say it was a failed kies flash or something.

No instructions to flash a 512 PIT file for the SGS1 phone its a totally different PIT.Same as putting the wrong fuel in the tank .
jje
You won't be debrick it at home, only JTAG equipment can help you now. Either send it to a Samsung Service center, tell them you were updating through Kies and hope they don't notice or find a Repair Service with JTAG equipment and have them debrick it.
i wonder something why is a 512.pit file in the update pack (was rar compressed) as the FW is for SGS-2 but not SGS-1 ?!
tomorrow i send the phone to the service center, i can say it was a failure in kies - most pplz are writing this and dont have to pay something^^

You should ask the person who put it in the firmware pack... I haven't seen any downloads on XDA which contain the 512.pit file. Infact if you would've taken the time to read up on some threads here at XDA you would've known most experienced users advise and actively warn against using a pit file.

Bricked! You'll need to get it repaired by Samsung or some place with a JTAG box.
thanks for all answers here
i dont have downloaded the firmware from xda but from samfirmware.com and a wrong odin version with that **** pit file ...
... and readed the wrong tut about flashing a SGS-2 - think this was the most mistakes i've made ...
now its realy bricked and i'll see if i can send to a service center tomorrow.
i hope repair is for free ...
Let's pretend a n00b tried to flash an I9000 rom on his I9100. He used Odin. Now, his phone won't turn on at all.
Is it hopeless?

You probably messed up the bootloader by doing this, so if you can`t get into download mode even with a usb jig then you probably looking at a jtag - job, which means you have to find somebody who can do this or you take it to Samsung and play dumb, just say it wouldn`t turn on one day :laugh:

The device will be hardbricked but there is still hope.
1. JTAG repair
2. Samsung Service repair (free if the device is still under warranty, paid if not)
Thanks guys. I'm in the US, so the warranty isn't valid here I can get it fixed with a JTAG for $30.

No download mode or recovery?
Tried a USB Jig?
If none work, a JTag might save it, not sure on .pit files, whether it kills the motherboard or not.
May have to be a Samsung repair job...

Are you happy enough to make the Jig? They can be bought on eBay for £2 (very cheap wherever you are from).
There is a website called mobiletechvideos.com, they are based in America but they deal with these types of bricks.
As I said, not sure if a bad .pit file flash kills the motherboard or not. But try the Jig first and see if there is any response.

The problem is not the cost of jig cable but the time that I need to wait before receive it. I if I try myself maybe that I can save one week and, if this trick don't work, and I will send the galaxy s2 in the Samsung services...
I'm member of Samsung exclusive.. I hope to save some days..
Anyway... I hope to solve with a jig cable.. In the meantime I have found a basic smartphone from my friend.. Just to make a tethering and use my asus transformer for all the normal operation...
But.. Just for my information.. How a wrong file can generate a hardware problem in the motherboard?
I repeat...I'm really very stupid! I have make this operation a lot of times... And without attention I have make this operation yesterday... @##@#....
Thanks guys.. If some people have some extra idea... Reply me please!

You could be surprised the damage flashing wrong .pit file can do. I suppose doing what Jokesy said would be worth a try.

Hello,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is bricked. No way to enter download or recovery mode. Black screen... nothing to do to fire it.
Probably the bootloader is corrupted.
Does exist a tool for Exynos 4210 / S5PC210 like the one from Adam Outler "Unbrickable" for Exynos 3110 / S5PC110 ?
Thank you,
Guillaume
Ps. no need to answer about JIG, it doesn't work in this case of figure. JTAG tools exist... Yes I know! thank you BUT needs to solder a tiny tiny JTAG connector... and I don't own a RIFF JTAG Box nether a schematic of JTAG pinpoints on Galaxy S2 mother board...
No way you can fix it. Take it someone who does JTAG repairs or get the MB replaced.
Tell us what you did, so we can learn from your experience.

I flashed it longtime ago to ICS 4.03 / rooted with ODIN v3 - no problem at all.
Few weeks ago it crashed during firefox update... I reboot it, it crashed during the boot. I reboot it again and it got bricked!
That's nice, it just died on you?
Warranty is generally for two years...maybe there's still hope for you.

Hey. Once this problem happened with i9100G and i fixed it without jtag. It wasnt entering at download mode but when i turn it on and that sign keeps exist, i connectes it to laptop and odin recognized it. I installed software via odin again and it got fixed! Never seen like that!! Was flashing without being in download mode. Try it and i wish it will work

Mobo replacement will help.If no download Mode,nor recovery,then go to the service center.you can't do anything.
i had send it to service center nothing i can do
i had read about the JIG usb but dont have one
Service centre said "no way"?
If so, I don't think you'll be able to do it yourself.
A jig? You can try that.
Jtag? Why not.
Mobo replacement? For sure.

If a service centre can't/won't fix it (I don't believe this; they make a mint every time they fix a phone like this, money for jam for them) then throw it in the bin, because you're certainly not fixing it yourself given the mess you got yourself into in the first place
