My luck is very bad. I failed to flash my 9100, and now I can not turn on my phone. No matter I press on which keys, the screen keeps black. And I connect it to my computer bu it can not be detected. I have tried the Counter Reset Patch to go to downloading mode, but failed. So what should I do now? If I sent it back to Samsung Service , how much will they charge me? Or If I can fix it by myself ? Who can help me? Thanks very much..
First, your luck isn't very bad, computers don't have luck, if you've bricked your device it's because you've messed something up not because you're unlucky.
Second, what exactly did you do to flash your phone? You haven't given anywhere near enough information for anyone to help you hence the lack of replies.

Thank you very much. U are right, I bricked my phone by my careless. I was restoring my phone to a previous system,then it got stuck in the recovery. I waited for a long time finally I have to take out the battery. Then it bricked.

As far as I know I am the first. U know under almost all conditions u can fix it by downloading mode , but now I can not enter that mode. So I am unlucky.
1 tip
Try charging the battery using another mobile or external battery charger.Then connect. By my experience usb drivers of android dont easily get damaged or lost until u ruin the rom heart and soul.

What did you actually flash? Firmware, Kernel or are you trying to Root your phone?
If you can go to Download Mode then flash Stock Firmware. To be safe, charge battery to at least 70% before flashing via Odin3 v1.85. Provide more details so it would be easier for others to help....cheers

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

I was using,
PDA: I9100XWLPT
CSC: I9100NEELP4
Version: 4.0.4
Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?

Hello guys,
After receiving positive feedback from members I have finally submitted my phone to service center.
Please pray and hope they don't find out about my little adventure!!
My friends SII will not switch on any more, when he tries someone else's battery it gets to the SII boot screen then loops.
It is not rooted, when I press down + home + power it takes me to a screen that says:
Product name: gt-i9100
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official
I'm an SI owner so not sure what to tell him or how to help. Any ideas?
From your incredibly detailed and useful post outlining the problem I can tell you with absolute certainty that one of the cores on your friend phone has failed. Take it back to the core store and ask them for a new one.
Anybody who isn't a tw** willing to help?
If its not rooted its most probably a hardware issue. Just get it back to Samsung.
Sent from my potato running a potato.
When you press down home n powr... its in download mode. Excellent- now just use ODIN to flash a rom! Done. But be careful to flash the correct ROM for i9100...
That "screen" which you're talkong about is called download mode.

This.
If the phone has never been rooted/run non-stock firmware & still has warranty, why would you do something completely stupid like trying to flash a rom of any description when the flash could end up trashing the warranty ?
You've been given good advice, heed it.
I've just checked with him. The phone is outside of warranty, so he is willing to root and flash it with a ROM if necessary.
Should I be looking at flashing it with a rooted kernel and then a ROM?

Even if you flash stock rom via odin it will not void his warranty since binary counter will not increase... And anyway his warranty is no more he can take a chance...
Go to sammobile.com and download stock rom for your country... Make sure the version of your mobile... viz GT I9100 OR GT I9100G..

i did this to my device almost 2 week ago and upgraded my HDD so unfortunately i don't have the back up and can't remember the kernel version or which file i used to root it
maybe luck is not on my side after all ... .
Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

Had the same problem with my old s2.The phone doesn't boot into recovery or download mode if the battery is dead,Make sure the battery is alright and try again.I had to replace my battery.
If all is well,then its EMMC brick.

Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......

If it is the emmc brickbug (and it's looking like it is) not even samsung can bring that main board back to life...sorry mate. ..

Painful indeed . . .. . .. .
was there anything i could have done to prevent this .. . ????
From what I can tell 4.0.4 was the problem. Soon as you factory reset the phone dies. Sam knows about this that makes it even worst. Sorry to hear about your dead s2

Stay well away from 4.0.4 firmware and factory reset. Even with a custom kernel I think is a bad move to stay on it.

at least its good to know that its not my fault . . .. tnx bro. . .:good:
Some will say its your fault for not reading. Not me this is a dirty samsung problem and they should of recalled ALL the faulty handset's as I think they are faulty and pull the 4.0.4 from every were. Can I ask were did you get that firmware from?
