Two days ago I stupidly flashed the resurrection remix ROM to my T989 T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII. After installing I tried to reboot and my phone never powered back on. I have tried to reset and all but the phone wont respond/vibrate/ect. The phone is completely dead. Even the computer doesn't recognize it. Today I called Samsung and played stupid about the situation. When I send it to them will they know that it is rooted?
The technics know the rooting and probably not maters to them good luck

They will know even though it wont turn on?
If you put your phone in download mode.. Flash stock firmware using Odin.. Use USB jig to reset the flash counter.. I'm guessing they won't have a clue
They will not ... As I have taken my rooted phone to them a lot of times
RuCk
FulEs!
Thanks
Thanks for all the info. I cant reset my flash counter/flash stock rom because it wont enter download mode or anything but i stilll have a good feeling they may take it.:laugh:

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile. First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone. So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087. As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way. So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock. After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore. Now I don't know what to do. It won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.
I just got bricked too...Went to update my vibrant that was on eclair still...Try to update to froyo on Samsung Kies Mini...download went fine...then when finished...it wouldnt turn on....just ordered a JIG....should be here Tuesday...http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Don...73JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321751047&sr=8-1
and yes...my family on XDA...i tried every finger combination to try to get to download mode...Sitting outside waiting for ups as we speak...
You might need to look into a jtag, I wouldnt give up getting into download even if the screen is black. Some members have had sucess by pulling the battery, sim card and letting the vibrant settle for an hour or so. reset in odin and keep trying, your phone wont respond but odin may recognize it by the yellow com bubble.
im guessing u've tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
also read post #5 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352334
be sure u understand what he says: he's basically just pretending the screen doesnt work and holding the buttons for the amount of time it would take to enter download mode. even tho the screen never responds, odin will suddenly recognize the phone. u can tell when this happens cuz that box in odin turns yellow. then flash JFD like normal or whatever ur gonna do.
good luck
Thanks for replying everyone.
Sugartibbs : I've been working on this all day. Yea, I definitely can't get it to work on odin. It's not being recognized at all. where can i get a jtag?
crypkilla : Yea I definately tried those two things already. I've searched all over the forum. I think it's time to take it in..... LOL. Is there a difference between the two models T959UV vs. T959V, in terms of the stock rom I was originally suppose to use?
that's a bummer.
i havent had a completely unresponsive phone before, but ive thought ive been pretty screwed a few times and the only other thing i know is that ive read people say that they've tried the same thing a hundred times and on the hundred and first time it worked and that's been my experience.
be sure and post if u do get lucky and fix it.

You flashed wrong ROM and you're in wrong forum.
T-mobile Vibrant is T959
T-mobile Galaxy S 4G is T959V
T959UV is just a baseband not model number.

Recently i tried to install firmware on my Galaxy tab 10.1, but it resulted in a bootloop, and now i am on the samsung screen. I tried to install the firmware with mobil Odin. The firmware i used is P7510XEULPH_P7510XXLPH_HOME.tar. I dont know what to do to get my tab working again, because when i try to boot into the recovery, i get the flicker screen.
If anybody could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you soft brick your tab. Looks like your gonna need to whip out the PC and find PC version ODIN even though the screen stuck on flicker it will still connect well at least it did when I soft bricked my SGS 2. Well good luck guy I knw I had a few days of fun when I was trying to fix mine.
Oh ya one more important thing check in your device form in Q & A Chechen sticky always a lot of useful stuff or might even find a quick fix from fellow XDA fanatic like me.

Not sure if you are still stuck, but if you boot into recovery and then clear cache and user data it stopped the boot looping for me...

In theory you can switch off the tab and plug it to charge. It should charge as you do not hard brick it. If you can slash your tab via Odin, try to flash it two times, one by one not letting it to boot android and samsung logo after the first flash. After the second flash, reboot and hold the volume - button till you get into stock recovery mode. then wipe data and wipe cash. then reboot again.
hi
I need help with my new Samsung galaxy Sii GT-i9100. the phone comes with a stock android gingerbread os. I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.
please help

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..
Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.

Sorry, I'm not an expert at this point. Search for threads about hard bricks, and possible solutions (or anyone else has to have a better answer). Good luck anyway.

First off, chill out.
Then read this and try some of the possible fixes.
If nothing works, come back and we'll tell you what to do so you can get a new phone claiming warranty.

my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..
Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..
After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...
If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..
Press thanx if I helped...

i flashed a rom onto a m8s galaxy s2 after i rooted it the phone was stuck on bootscreen for around 30 min i turned it of and phone will not charge light up or anything ive tryed jig and nothing ive tryed button and nothing battery is fine ive tested it
i thought it would be easy as i have done it on s3 lots of times
is the galaxy s2 dead or can i revive it
Maybe jig is faulty? Have you tried booting into the download mode? It is the same as s3.
If not, try another jig or another battery. Also, try charging it. Does it get hot near the camera when it charges?
If the above fail, you have to JTag, unless you wiped from a 4.0.4 stock rom.

Well its customery (And common sense to be honest) to inform people of relevant information when asking for help.
What exactly did you do/steps you took?
Which rom did you flash?
Which kernel did you flash?
How did you root?
Did you wipe data/factory reset at any point?
Give as much info as possible so that it can possible diagnose what happened.
Hi
I've got mine Galaxy S2 which I was rooting, changing rom a lot of times, never had any problems.
My friend gave me his phone to do a root on it, I was doing everything like always, and when I tried to install the root and restarted, the phone it's not turning on at all anymore. Tried to take out the battery, change for another one, but nothing.
Do you think that USB JIG can help in this situation when phone is not responding at all or maybe you have another ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try to go in download mode. Home+Volume down+Power button.
If yes. Flash any Stock rom on Odin.
If you can't go to download mode. Maybe USB Jig is the solution.
