hey guys
I have been using Siyah Kernel on my SGS2 for a wile now so I decided to put it on my brothers 1 day old SGS3 and when I try to flash it in CWR I got an errror saying zip could not be flashed and when I rebooted the phone all I got was a Black screen. I've tried everything but the phone wont boot and I cant get in to download mode or CWR.
Any one have any ideas before I go back to the store and play dumb ?
Use Odin and reflash your kernel of choice.

Thanks for the help, but as I said. I only get a black screen I cant get in to download mode or CWR.
If you can't go into download mode you won't be able to repair anything...
If you have an USB jig, it should work on S3 to go to download mode
I figured...

Kinda sucks
My brother came home with the phone yesterday. I put CWR on it then rooted it and all was fine. I figure I could throw the siyah kernel on it and install a second rom for him to try out.... I have been doing this stuff on my SGS1 and SGS2 for years and never had this problem. But I guess that's it. I ordered a jig on ebay just in case they wont take the phone back at the store. I guess a mod can close this thread if there is nothing else to try.
Thanks for everyone's time....
Strange, the kernel and download mode are at completly different places.
Breaking the kernel, fine. But breaking downlad mode access?
It worked for others already, so please try:
- power off the phone
- remove usb-cable if attached
- pull battery for 30seconds
-press and hold vol-down and Home button. (the latter in the centre)
- press power until the logo appears
Does it still not go to download mode?
USB jigs are pretty easy to build yourself if you have ever used a soldering iron. So if you're like me, you won't wait for the ebay-seller to deliver =)

I Have tried everything possible with the 3 button combo and cant get in to download mode. Pull battery for up to 5 minutes, USB in, USB out, everything I can think of. I cant even get to the LOGO. The red light might come on for a few seconds but nothing at all on the screen.
And all I did was:
Flash the CWR in download mode with odin, reboot(everything worked fine)
Flash su-root zip in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Made a Backup in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Flash SiyahKernel S3 zip in CWR, then got an error saying zip was not installed, rebooted and could not get boot logo, download or CWR
ask karnel maker just see weather he can help u out. as might be he knwing case of this ..

I have a dock charger for extra batteries and it shows full charge on the dock.
This same thing just happened to me.
I dont have internet at my house i only always use my phone. I read about the siyah kernal and decided to flash it this morning hoping that i could get hotspot to work. I did it through CW and now the screen just stays black. I got the same warning msg with a andy on his back and a red triangle. It was fine before and working normally. I had a stock firmware and the only thing that i changed about the phone was rooting it through odin. Now i'm screwed because i never had this issued with any phone and i'm tempted to take it back to best buy and blame them. I had soft bricked it about 4 days ago but i was able to fix it in a few mins after searching xda. When the phone is plugged in to the computer it does make a connection sound but the device name is not my phone. Someone point me in the right direction

That would actually be Siyah. But you don't seem to like it anymore after having it brick your phone *g*
nor how to use a usb jig.

Pull the battery for 30 seconds, plug it back in. Then plug in to USB jig and within 5 seconds your phone has automatically turned on an gone to Download mode.
NOTE: Some suppliers sell ****ty Jigs with a too high tolerance value of the resistance. These DO NOT work on the S3 even if they worked on the S1/S2.
I had one on the way 2 minutes after Couldn't get in download mode.

@goul0080: Please if possible measure the resistance between pin3 and pin5 of the Jig. It should be 301kOhm +- 1% tolerance. Anything between 1 and 5% may n or may not work.
If the phone still doesn't work you should check for a repair shop around you. They can use JTAG (direct access to the flash storage and other system compontents) to flash the ROM and you should be good to go again. Usually costs around 20$ afaik.

looks like mine didn't read it fully but yeah. Basically pull battery to make sure phone is off. Give it a few secs then stick battery back in. Then stick in the jig. Phone autoboots into download mode.

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
Hello.
I have "little" problem on my sgs2.
I bought it used and it had vibration broken (flexcable broken).
I fix it with new part and used it one day for testing it.
It was working flawless.
Yesterday i flashed it on stock 2.3.5 Nee and rooted it with speedmod.
It was working ok and no glitches or anything unusual behavior.
I installed about 50 programs in a row for market and put the settings and launchers in working.
it took about 1,5 hours and it was pretty warm but not burning hot.
Then i went to sleep and put it on charger.
On this morning i woke to my backup alarm and noticed that the phone had died on night.
I beginning to believe it´s maybe dead completely, maybe hardware failure.
I have tried everything else, but not jig (haven´t got it yet).
It doesn´t go to cwm or download mod, no lights, nothing just black screen.
It doesn´t charge or even get warm when trying to charge.
I have tried it on two different battery (other battery is brand new genuine).
Doesn´t look or smell burned (motherboard).
Any suggestions?
doesnt sound like its bricked.
try these steps:
1) open ODIN
2) reflash speedmod kernel using the ODIN's .tar file
3) go into CWM recovery
4) wipe data / cache / davlik
5) flash a new ROM or official Firmware
6) flash a new modem file
7) reboot the phone
8) start restoring all your apps and settings etc

You said you haven't got a jig yet. I'd suggest you get a jig. I got one for a couple bucks on eBay. Worth it to see if it will trigger download mode.

Jig is coming sometime in next week.
I doubt it´l help because it went black on charging.
Memory shouldn´t corrupt just like that.
I also read couple post on overheated sgs2.
Anyway the jig is worth of try.
Does someone know is it possible to buy just a motherboard and what does those cost?
Maybe i have to sell it on parts.
If it does not even turn on. Then it's a hardware failure. No jig is going to fix that.
Just got the phone today. I rooted it, applied CM mod, went back to stock, then tried to install the Energy HD2 mod to check that out. Installation failed and now it will not even start / turn on. I tried putting it into upload mode, download mode, straight up hit power and turn on - and nothing works.
Any recommendations?
EDIT: Why can't I post a reply to someone here? I see no reply box and it says 'You may not post replies' and 'You may not post new threads'?

First of all, why the f... are u flashing so many roms at [email protected]#$$%€£…
Now the air is clean. Can u get into download mode? If yes,then go to samfirmware.com and register then download LFB rom to your PC and flash it with Odin, then root it with cf-root.
now DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING ELSE FOR 24 HOURS. let the phone settle.and instead read the OP and check screenshots of the different roms and find one. Also check out the "apps & theme" forum and look for suitable theme instead of flashing a full rom.
Ps. If u can't get into "download mode" then order a USB JIG(301 ohms exactly) from ebay.
Good luck.....but stop your flashing mania or your phone is a goner.
EDIT: Pull out your battery for 20 min,put it back then use 3 button combo to get to download mode..
Btw cm7-9-10 is for experienced users not for noobs.

1. I'm not a newb.I've been running CM nightlies for over a year.
2. The feature sets for the roms are different and I don't see why I can't try them. Energy seemed more mature for the S3 and I think I would prefer a stock-based rom that just cut out the bloat.
3. Tried the battery pull thing. Odin did not recognize a device being connected. It was like there was no battery in it at all. The USB JIG idea sounds interesting. NExt time I have an issue, I'll look into that.
4. Thanks for your help but the new phone is here today and the brick goes back.

hi there
hello ^_^ my first post and make sure you leave your phone charging for at least 2 hours and try again because it happened to me too and i panicked
I have a I9100t, flashed to Ressurection Rom, rooted
It has been stable and smooth for months, one day when I was texting it reboots and stuck at siyah logo screen. I forced turn off and can't be turn on anymore.
Tried usb jib, riff box, 3rd party fix, no luck.
So I am going to get a new phone, just wanna see who is interested to fix this brick, it's in Sydney and the one who is able to fix it I'll pay him/her $100 aud by paypal or cash (if in sydney).
Thank xda genius!
Tried getting a new and full battery and forcing a flash with ODIN with a .PIT etc?
seems such operation won't cause hard brick, try change a battery with full power, change another usb wire

listen and follow carefully (i hope this helps)
1. Remove the battery from your phone
2. With the battery removed , press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON.
3. keep holding above mentioned buttons , and have someone else insert the batter for you.
if you see download mode
4. connect to PC and start odin, if detected. FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE.

If your phone is hardbricked, there is not much you can do if you are not able to turn it on at all - not even download mode.
if:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
Then your phone might be soft bricked.
If you can:
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a clean, unmodified, samsung firmware (like KI4) WITHOUT PUTTING ANY PIT FILE
-Reboot in stock recovery, do a factory reset
-Reboot phone
-Format internal sdcard
-You should be good to go

Goodluck
Wouldn't matter if you offered $1,000,000. Only thing that's fixing it is a motherboard/emmc replacement. Absolutely zero chance of fixing it any other way.

If your phone is hardbricked, there is not much you can do if you are not able to turn it on at all - not even download mode.

This.
If a JIG doesn't get your phone to DL mode, all is left is a JTAG.
Perhaps somehow the eMMC got affected by the MMC_CAP_ERASE command even though it's disabled in Siyah...
1.Youve tried everything...and nothing.
2.Mistahbungle has hit the nail on the head-read and digest.
3.Why throw more good money after bad.
4.Cut your losses and stick it on eBay(eg theres a bird on there wanting £250 for a phone maybe same problem as yours lol).

Probably I would try the mobile tech.. In sydney I tried two shops, one called MPR, another is Xtreme communication.
Time to announce the winner: one of my friend is working in Vodafone dealer shop sent it to Samsung Warranty and post as outright phone from his shop with extension warranty (dunno how he did it anyway).
The phone came back clean, replace external case (which has no problem) and main board.
$100 to him =]
Hey guys
Just to let u know. Today I got Jelly Bean official update, on official unbranded phone in UK with original untouched software and after few hours phone got completely dead !!
Maybe wait with your update until more info will appear around UK.
oucccccch that sucks. did ya update through kies or OTA update via phone. If you have a rooted phone and attempted to update OTA it will fail. kies shouldn't give ya that issue.
If your phone is still running stock rom and zero binary counts. take it to Sammy store somewhere.
EDIT: remember if your phone is rooted you can always go to download mode and flash any Rom via Odin. it's not a problem.

I will definitely go tmrw. I hope it's very very rare case.
If you are one of those people who can't be bothered to waste 2 weeks on repair, you could try using a Jig. Thus hopefully allowing you to boot into download mode, and flashing stock firmware with Odin.

Sounds the same to me. In the morning I got OTA JB. I was charnging it in the evening. I think last time when I unlocked it and texted was around 11pm, and then after midnight no response. I took battery out for a minute. But nothing, no any sign, even after I plugged in. Nothing.
Recovery Mode
Try to boot into recovery mode. Turn phone off by taking out battery, put it back then press and hold(in the following order) volume down+home bottom+power, remember to keep them press until you see a screen that shows a yellow triangle with a warning sign, release all bottoms and press volume up. Them you will see recovery menu. If you can boot in recovery you are in luck and is something you can fix yourself with Odin 3.07 and a stock rom.

Even charging does not work? Try taking out battery for a longer time and check again.
