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??

Please help
Have u got a jig? Of so use that. Or try leaving the battery out for a while then try again

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!

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.
So I was trying to root new Galaxy s2.. long story short, I think I hard bricked it.
The device won't power up; or at least the screen won't show anything.
I can't get to Download Mode.
Is there anyway I can save my new 400 dollar investment?
How are you trying to get into download mode ? Hold the volume down, home button and the power button at the same time. When you get the Samsung screen, release the power button but keep holding the volume down/home buttons until you get into download mode.
If you really can't get into download mode your options are:-
1) Get a jig. This would be your last chance to get into download mode before sending it off for repair.
2) Find someone near you who does JTAG repairs. This option will be cheaper than paying for Samsung to repair your phone.
3) Return the phone to Samsung. As you've tried to root the phone, there's a fair chance you'll end up paying for said repair as this voids your warranty. On the other hand you might be one of those people who get lucky and Samsung fixes your phone under warranty regardless. A roll of the dice essentially.
Edit - Remove your battery & leave it out for a minute or so before trying to get into download mode.
Or failing options 1 & 2 already suggested then perhaps option 2a..
Apply a current to the sim connectors under the battery and make sure it never evers boots again, Samsung won't know what's happened to it and will repair/replace FOC.
(I find an old laptop PSU minus connector plug usually applies enough current for this)
Hehehehe ;-) Damn that brought back memories Uridium. I used to do that with Sega Mega Drive cartridges. However, I'm not sure we should be suggesting same on here. Not exactly ethical and bordering on fraud tbh

Looking at JIGS on Ebay, I'll probably get one from there.
So how would I use that?
Plug it in to get to Download Mode then take it out and plug in USB connection to my PC?
I'm still unaware of which correct firmware to put it, so this is so scary :[

Yep. Look for "Samsung Galaxy S2 download mode jig" or something like that on eBay. Shouldn't be more than a few bucks. When you get it, make sure the phone is off, plug the jig in the usb port & if you're lucky the phone will boot into download mode. Yeah, once you're in download mode, remove the jig, plug a USB cable in/connect to your PC then flash your firmware of choice via Odin.
We can worry about which firmware to flash once you're able to get it to boot with a jig tho. Post back here when you get it & then we can work out which firmware to go with.

Thanks for your help! The JIG should arrive by Friday. Till then.. back to my iPhone 3G, yuck.
Hey I have an idea, why don't you tell us how you think you bricked your phone.
Because, for example, if you've flashed a bad Kernel then your phone may seem bricked (it has all the characteristics) but can be recovered by someone who knows what to do. Likewise, if you were flashing something with Odin and you had a sudden spasm attack and pulled the USB out, you've bricked your phone. Tell us what you did and we can give a proper reply.
EDIT: If the phone is only soft bricked and you can get into DL mode with a JIG, you go can it without one.

Well, first I was using odin to root it by changing the kernel. But I think I was using the wrong version and then I got "firmware is wrong. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."
Then I tried to put back 2.3.4 and that's where I think went wrong. I unplugged the phone because it was just stuck with Odin on for over 10 minutes.
Then now I can't even turn it on.

If Odin hadn't finished its business and you unplugged your phone then yea, you've probably bricked it. Cases like these is why I never use Odin, its beta software which even the developers don't fully understand how it works. Even if through no fault of your own, Odin can fail, and that leaves you pretty well ****ed. Try the JIG, you may have unplugged it when it wasn't flashing something important, but yea, I'd start making up a really good excuse to get a new phone.

Well it might be possible to Unbrick your phone without Jig, but solution has not worked for 100% user, though it has worked for me(I'm not sure it was hard brick). So here are the steps:
1- Start Odin
2- Attach the USB cable to the PC (DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE PHONE)
3- Press and hold "Volume up" and "home" buttons
4- Attach the USB cable to the phone while holding both buttons
5- The phone will enter in download mode
Just flash the stock kernel after that.
And don't forget to THANK me if it works

I've a I9100 and for certain hardware issue (Audio problem) I want to send it to the Service Center.
I tried different custom ROMs before coming back to 2.3.3 KE8 through ODIN as I realized the hardware issue was not gonna fix without sending it for repair or replacement.
Now, I bought USB Jig from Ebay and followed the instructions in the USB Jig FAQ thread but after switching the phone off and inserting the USB Jig it is not booting into the Download Mode ? Is the USB Jig not working ?
Or do I need to flash an old bootloader to get this working , if yes a link please ?
Yes most probably thats a bootloader issue...get an old bootloader from the Original Dev Subsection.
Mine for some reason doesn't automatically boot when the jig is inserted but it does do it's job when I just use the power button to switch on.
Then it boots into download mode and resets triangle and flash counter.
Don't know why. I bought it for my sgs1 so maybe thats something.
Anyway try doing it that way and see how you go.

I flashed the old bootloader posted in the intratech's thread here Still its not booting up.
And also, I tried inserting the Jig and then powering on manually that didn't work as well.
What now ?
Some peoples have posted on other forums about the USB jig doesn't work automatically when inserted (although it should...) Try inserting the jig, and powering your phone on. It should reset the flash counter, if you are trying to get rid of the triangle for "warranty" purposes
Are you close to any of these people?

Yeah the "TriangleAway" app resets the Binary Counter too
Seems like a dud jig to me. Mine automatically boots into download mode, regardless of bootloader.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
I had these issues - installed the old bootloader and away went the yellow triangle after inserting the USB Jig.
The counter would not reset but I found a "GT-I9100_counter_patch.tar" file which I flashed (PDA) and then inserting the USB Jig it reset the binary counter to zero
PM me if you would like the patch file
So i need to send in my phone for repairs because my battery gets drained like crazy and i tried everything to stop it. (dozen different roms/kernels completely "naked" without ANY apps and it still drains ~10% an hour).
so anyway, my JIG worked fine all the time (got me into download mode every time), but since i need to reset the binary counter i flashed the XWKG1 firmware and the old bootloader through odin and everything works fine, except my JIG does not bring me into download mode anymore. when i plug it in, the phone just boots normally. i can get into download mode with 3 button method but it just shows me that the counter is still on 1.
any suggestions?
searching for this matter is kinda hard, because "jig not working" brings up all kinds of threads about the jig not resetting due to newer bootloader, and "jig not starting download mode" doesnt bring the desired results either.
so any help would be much appreciated.

strange!!!
Home made jig or purchased one? Sometime any short circuite on the jig resisters???
if available try with another jig...
you can flash again old bootloader and try.
purchased one. i already opened it up to check for short circuit, and the color coding of the resistor is correct aswell (301k)...

Yeah I guess. Bootloader is not the problem, as it worked before. Plus, according to other threads, ICS bootloader works with jig, but it only force-boots to download, not flashing Odin counter. As stated, that doesn't even work.

OK. As far as I know.... This is so far the Only method to UNBRICK Galaxy S3.
1. Purchase a USB Jig Dongle For Samsung Galaxy S III S3 GT-I9300 Download Mode unbrick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrZUrE5Nqj0
2.This USB jig can only bring your phones into Download Mode. It CANNOT reset your phone binary counter and remove yellow triangle..
3.Usage:
1. Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for about 10-15 seconds.
2. Just put the battery back and don’t turn it on.
3. Plug the USB Jig into the micro USB port on the phone.
4. After about 2-3 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
5. Unplug the USB Jig.
6. Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program “odin"
It does not work with latest European Version 2.34, you have to return your device to old version to use.

Software bricking is nearly impossible, if getting bootloops or only booting into recovery there is in most cases the way about using odin to flash back to stock
And there is already a thread about changing a broken screen, use the search

Might be good to note that the jig method will only work on a softbrick.
Hardbricked phones need either a replacement or a JTAG treatment.

Actually, with the gs3 all you need is a 16gb class 10 sd card with a debrick.img.... the usb jig makes it easier so you dont have to press all the buttons or hook it up to the computer to get to DL mode... check out my last post on the unbrick your sprint gs3 thread...

Thread resurrect, much?
Good news that this is all you need now but as far as I know the information was correct as of the posting date in 2012.
Anyway I have moved on to the LG G2 now, my s3 was stolen
