If they are around the same price I'd just take it to the service center because that way a professional who knows what there doing can fix your phone. While the JTAG box is very helpful you can really mess up your phone if you don't know how to use it properly. Again if there about the same price its not worth the risk take it to the service center.

But... if you get a jtag/ riff box setup, then you can basically start a business unbricking phones, and maybe recoup your money.. But, remember, you need to have the proper software to resurrect your phone, or the know-how to develop it.

Mobile tech video claim to be able to jtag brick repair a Samsung admire for $40. Would love to find out how they do it.
I also found a website that sells a riff box (jtag) for $145 USD plus shipping.

here if you give them your defective motherboard you can have a 50$ discount so theoretically you canbuy a new motherboard for 139$
Bummer, you can buy a used s2 for a little more than this.
8000 INR , but i had mine replaced for 5000 INR (without bill) from a sammy service centre

i actually did it in cochin..visit a couple of service centres around your area n tell them you are short on cash and if there is any way to do it for a lesser amount
but BEWARE:: if you do it without a bill you get no warranty !!!
Thanks buddy I'll search for it.

I live in jeddah, can I ship it to cochin and ask them to repair it at the same cost, no service centers here that might assist with the low cost replacement. Do you have their address and number?
I have a fried motherboard too, gave it to the service center guys here in Jeddah and they say that it will cost me more than what it would to buy a used S2
Probable cause (cause and effect, not necessarily correct from a technical perspective)
I think it could have been my car charger that might have fried it... assuming that i did see once that the battery dropped from 70% to 40% after i connected the charger and I was foolish enough to connect it when the phone was completely out of battery... yeah tell me about it. I purchased another battery too.. original with the hologram and everything but after a week or so the phone would just not boot up.
hi
if you ask me!!! your galay s2 its useless so you gona start thinking to buy an galaxy s3!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol

You have two choices re: motherboard replacement -
1) Samsung/service centre - New motherboard, retain original IMEI in most cases/dependant on country (Most expensive option).
2) Search eBay/elsewhere online for a 2nd hand motherboard (you do see them on their own occasionally), or more likely look for a broken phone (screen broken but otherwise OK, for example) you can take the motherboard from. You can either replace this yourself if you feel confident enough, or you can pay a local mobile repair shop to swap this motherboard for the dead one on your phone (Cheapest option). With this option your IMEI will change to that of the phone the board came from, which is no big deal normally (Do not try to restore your old IMEI via an EFS backup restore, fair chance you'll bork your phone if you do).
Samsung will not sell you a new motherboard on it's own. If an authorised service centre sells you a new one without them doing the labor of replacing the old one, you're very very lucky & Samsung would probably chuck a fit if they found out.
Costs will obviously vary widely whichever option you chose, dependent on country normally.
Hello. I have a AT&T galaxy note which is hard bricked. I cant find anybody that can fix it thus far. I live in the Miami Area and the Broward area. If anybody can lead me th where i can get it fixed in south florida or have the jtag program that can bring my device to life, im willing to pay $$$$ to get it fixed. Please reply ASAP. I am miserable without my note.... Thanks a Million!!!!:crying:
Do a general search for JTAG repair ...
You'll get plenty of hits for people doing the repair ....
Very sorry for the brick ....g
I have looked everywhere. I spent hours. can't seem to find anyone with the jtag services.
You mail it and it costs $50 and takes one week round trip.
How do u doa hard brick?
the usual method is to flash a rom or kernel for a different device to yours.
Is there anyone in England, that unbricks the Samsung galaxy s2, I have bricked my phone five times and had to send it to the US to get it unbricked , I know five times, I`m just lucky I guess. they do a good service but it can take weeks to get it back.. there is someone in Europe but I think someone should take this up, I was thinking off buying the riff box and doing it myself but I will probably **** it up.
I thought you said in the other topic you made in Sept the firm you used were "reliable and quick".
And theres plenty of firms offering Jtag services on eBayUK....you only pay the postage if they cant fix it.
As for a riff box.....they are only £120 but none I looked at said they work on the s2.
Maybe youd have to buy another item that costs a fortune so it can fix the s2.It must be possible though if people are doing it.....
Maybe someone could advise what you need and how much.

Have you tried looking at ebay or amazon? If you know the exact model you want/need it could be a cheap solution.
Procuring a new motherboard without paying a Samsung authorised service centre a lot of money for labour to replace your board is very very difficult. Samsung don't sell the boards to the public, and if they found out new boards were 'leaking' from authorised service centres, they'd chuck a fit
If you don't like the idea of paying a service centre to put a new board in, you're likely going to have to settle on a 2nd hand one from a 'donor'/broken phone.
Edit - And many boards pushed as 'new' on places like eBay are in fact 2nd hand boards that have been 'tidied up' a bit.

I am also looking to buy a Samsung galaxy s2 motherboard GT-I9100 - where is the best place to buy a good one in Europe that had not has much use?
Android GURU's, newbie here.. first post. please help. I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 while flashing a new ROM, I sent in a wrong pit file for my phone and this hardbricked my phone completely. Tried USB jig also, no luck. When I charge phone, all it does, is it gets heated near the camera part and nothing, no download mode, nothing , nada. Have been reading about JTAG option, but i am not having any leads on that who can do that in Bangalore, India. If someone has any leads or any other solution please help me. Would like to exhaust every option before taking it to Samsung and pay big bucks (out of warranty) to change MOBO. Any leads will be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time reading my post and trying to help.
Motherboard replacement. JTAG very unlikely to work, Google search/contact local mobile repair shops & ask if they do JTAG's. Also, you don't necessarily have to pay a service centre a lot of money to put a new motherboard in. You can source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone (say a phone with a broken screen that is otherwise OK), this will be much cheaper than paying a service centre to put a new one in, even if you're not confident enough to DIY & pay a local mobile repair shop to actually swap the new board in after you source it.
Why you you flashed a pit file ... why?
No 1 rule don't flash a pit file until no other solution works and you are sure that you have right driver odin pit phone
Maybe a jtag works but its better a mobo replace
