Bricked S2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Ok, I've had my galaxy s2 for a while now and have been running either AOKP or CM of some sort for almost a year. I've been running AOKP JB since it was released and things seemed fine... until today. I was at the gym on my lunch break from class and noticed after about 45min I had lost 50% charge. I had noticed that beautiful widgets had taken a long time to do an update later and thougth maybe it was a rouge app acting up. So I forced closed it and rebooted my phone. Now it just sets on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen. I can't boot into recovery or anything.
I've pulled the battery and followed the steps to get into recovery manually, but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

Phones dont brick themselves.
battery charge when powered off and connected to charger?
get download mode if you connect USB while holding vol buttons and powered off?
Recovery is tricky, kinda. Hold vol buttons, press and hold power. wait for bootscreen to come on, off, back on, wait a sec then release power button. recovery should pop up after a few seconds.
I'd wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions when you get into recovery.

My plan before it started acting up was to reboot it and wipe cache and etc to hopefully fix the crazy drain. I will be able to put it on the charger once I get out of class and check to see if I get the charge icon.
After some messing around on my breaks in class I can get into download mode by holding volume down and the power button. Where it ask me to press volume up to continue or down to cancel IIRC.
Recovery VIA holding vol up and down plus power isn't working. So, hopefully once I get home I can get into download mode and reflash it. I've seen a few threads on using odin to flash stuff, but it keeps mentioning that I need a gingerbread kernal. Since the phone has already been rooted etc can I just reflash the Fluxi kernal that comes with the AOKP and hopefully get back into recovery to do wipe and reinstall?

My stock s2 did basically the same thing. I picked it up to check email, it froze and rebooted, and no wont go past the Galaxy SII screen.
Not even rooted. From what I understand from the Rep, its a memory failure, and is fairly common.
That's coming from a Rep though, so take it as you will.

If you dont care about the flash counter, then yea, you can flash whatever kernel you want in Odin/Heimdall. boot into recovery and then flash the ROM again.
As for the memory failure. h/w failure would explain the issue. but thats something that I havent heard of, and even noobs of this site are smarter than most at&t reps.

Are you sure you have SGH-I777. That is not the button configuration for download mode on the I777. Could your phone be SGH-I727?

Alright it lives again. I was able to use the Odin3 one click to get back to GB then reflash AOKP JB from there.

HELP! bricked my vibrant

i just flashed simply honey 3.8 via odin, i did back to stock before via odin (came from cm7) but after flashed simply honey, my phone stucked at rainbow screen sayin partition partition stupid partition, so i read that to get rid that rainbow i should flash gb bootloader, then i flashed the bootloader via odin, yeah the rainbow has gone but my phone keeps bootloping in vibrant and bullet screen then sayin partition2 bla bla, i can't get to odin with 2 button combo, it's just go to charging wtf, i can't even get to cwm via 3 buttons combo, help me guys, thx in advance
Have you tried
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Just checking, did you take out your battery, unplugged the usb, put the battery back in, then held vol up, vol down, and power and released all three as soon as you saw the Vibrant logo?
and if that doesnt work try all the steps above but minus one step! hold down both volume buttons except power and see if that works!

It's not bricked, I know you're mad and frustrated, trust me, I've been there a million times!
Lets try taking out the battery and leave it out for 15 minutes. Reboot your computer and unplug every usb.
Then try the above steps again.

tried it, still my phone can't see the download mode screen, i can't bring it to t-mobile since i don't live in states
If you flashed the bootloaders then the mapping is different. Try power button and volume up without the usb plugged and with the battery in. That should get you in download mode.

You are not bricked. I just had the same thing happen flashing the light version with Rom Manager. Since you flashed the Bootloaders, the key combination has changed. Hold down the volume up and power key. Release when you see the vibrant logo-that should take you into red recovery. When there, go to voodoo, choose disable. It will tell you it is 'actually enable' and will be disabled next boot. So reboot and let it do its thing. When I did it the Android in space finally showed up.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure you don't need to go into download mode to reflash with odin, just disable the lagfix. If it doesn't boot into the Android, then volume down+power will take you into download and reflash after the lagfix is finished disabling.
EDIT 2: And with the Gingerbread bootloader, you can't go into download mode if plugged in anymore. It will not go past the charger like on the Froyo Bootloaders.
EDIT 3: Sorry got the key mapping backwards, lol here it is straight from the Bootloaders site.
Gingerbread Bootloaders - No Rainbow - Fully visible Recovery on all ROMs
Benefits - No more rainbows on Gingerbread 2.3 ROMs like Simply Honey GB, LiDroid, Asgard, etc.
Convenient Key Maps for entering Recovery and Download Modes. (I personally like these mappings over the Standard Vibrant Mapping as you can enter download mode directly without needing to turn off phone or remove battery etc...)
For Recovery - Lower Volume Key + Power Button
For Download - Upper Volume Key + Power Button

I'm impressed with your risk taking capabilities man... Dont know how old you are to Android, and I'm not commenting on that, but from what I see, you are just 15 posts old, and you managed to flash Bootloaders to your phone...
Do read the OP for possible solutions before you flash anything... That said, till you have a screen, its not a brick.
Flash the bootloaders, using the new key mapping, and then flash the ROM, you should be good to go !!!
maybe one of you guys can help me here
i have the rainbow screen and i cannot get computer to recognize phone. i have to get into download mode with a dongle and odin still does not recognize my phone. i cannot boot into recover as the screen is completely rainbowed out and I cannot see what I am doing.
Are there any suggestions on what to do from here?
Thank you

[Q] Help! Galaxy S2 Problems!

I loaded a build of ICS onto my friend's phone. She then decided she didn't like it and wanted me to restore it to factory. I tried loading the original software back on using various different "official" samsung builds, but the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. The vol up+ power button combo no longer brings up a boot menu; it has "forced upload by key pressing". The only way I can load anything onto using odin is by having the battery out and connected thru usb (then for some reason the phone lets me put in a custom OS).
Idk if it's just the bootloader or what. Please help. I can't afford to buy a phone that's not even mine!

Can you enter the bootloader when connected without the battery,if so it sounds like a battery malfunction,try a different battery.
Tired a new battery. Still nothing...

Can you get into recovery?
No it wont.
The volume up combo gives me "forced upload by key pressing" the volume down combo does nothing. The ics build i loaded was for the european gs2. Could that have messed with the mapping?
did you ever manage to solve this? i have a similar problem with my s2
plug your phone into a running pc... its flat. after about half an hour try to boot it into bootloader and restore. good luck!

Hello
did you tried to load an other custom ROM with Odin ?
there is the chance to get back the recovery menu and you can reset everything.
i have just exp with I9000 but there it was worked to do a factory reset, wipe all cache and you can try to reset battery related info also under advanced option in recovery
then plug your phone to charger switched off, when show full, remove the charger and plug it back immediately, and wait again to see when it is show full
then try to boot your phone with the new custom rom and then can try to change back to original
hope that's help
Hi Abantai
Odin should work but it has been long time so i guess you already solved the problem at some point.

[Q] Phone loops at AT&T drop screen, can't enter download mode [Resolved]

I was using this topic to try to fix my phone from an earlier issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
I accidentally flashed a CM9 from the i19100 instead of the i777, and when I tried to flash the Siyeah kernal, the phone stopped working. I used the topic I mentioned above and tried to use Odin to flash back to fix it, and now the phone just loops in the AT&T logo if it's not plugged in to the USB, and just flashes the batter icon at me if it is plugged while I try to enter download mode.
I cannot find a solution for this. I tried the Vol Up+Down+Power, which didn't work, and since I can't get it to turn on, nothing else will work. I have no idea how to proceed.
EDIT: Fixed by getting into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, instead of the three button trick. Might come in handy for others. I had the boot loop on the AT&T splash screen that seems to require a jig most of the time.

Cant enter download mode while USB is plugged in.
try Vol up, Vol down. Insert USB.
And if that works, next time, try searching more.
Flashing a CM9 from i9100 will not brick your phone, hell it should boot still. but get d/l mode and back to a i777 kernal, then recovery, and flash ROM. i777 ROM

It booted, but was giving me a Status 7 error when I tried to flash a nightly (because I didn't realize I had flashed a i9100 rom at the time, figured that out after some searching) so I decided to just use Odin to flash back stock.
And, no luck on the Vol Up+Down then plugging in. Tried with battery and without. With batter, just shows the charged batter screen like it did before. Without battery it just flashes the grey battery icon over and over.
I had a similar issue. to get to download mode use Vol up+down+power with the USB cable plugged in. make sure you hold them down until the download mode appears.

Been trying that for hours. Definitely not getting to download mode that way.
Odin still recognizes my phone when I turn it on. If I unplug it, turn it on, then plug it back in, Odin will recognize the phone, though I can't actually enter download mode.

Do you have recovery? do a factory reset inside recovery?
But you got bigger problem if you cant get into download mode. you sure your doing it right? sorry have to ask.
Vol up Vol down, hold both those while inserting USB, hold untill screen pops up.
Or a Jig.
No, no recovery. Splash screen and batter screen. Those are the only things I get to see.
I looked at the jig, but I don't have the supplies to make it off hand (no soldering iron), and no one I could find seemed to have as many problems with this as I was. Most of them just couldn't get into download mode and weren't having looping issues.

Yeah, I guess there's no other solutions. I thought maybe there was just something I couldn't find. I ordered a jig from amazon with overnight shipping. Hopefully it will work.
Try the following;
USB cable plugged into phone and motherboard battery out. Hold volume +/-. Insert battery. Continue holding volume +/- until you either get the battery charging animation or download mode.
If that doesn't get you download mode nothing short of a jig or jtag will..
Goodluck!

Yeah, I reflashed stock + root, then flashed a kernal with CWM, then flashed CM9, then Siyah. Now I'm back to where I was, finally.
It turned out that in the beginning, when I was having the bad boot loop problem, I could get into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power, which wasn't mentioned anywhere that I could find. I just did it for kicks while the internet wasn't work and while I was turning my phone on and off.
Anywho, after much work and me learning to use Heimdall, the phone is working. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

ClockworkMod recovery wont open.

So I decided to go ahead and root my player. Then I found this custom rom and followed their instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517194
It keeps on bootlooping my device, and even though installed steves kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
(which contains CWM) I cannot boot CWM recovery from boot.
It booted up a few times in CWM recovery, but now it doesnt want to. Since then ive tryed flashing steves kernal sveral times to see if I can get it to work. It hasn't.
I really just want to get my device back to stock, I have a stock rom but it still gets stuck in a bootloop.

You get into Clockwork mod by turning off the device. Then Hold power, Volume up, and the settings (the one to the left of the home button) at the same time. Sometimes you have to let go when the samsung logo appears and then hold it again

could you give more incorrect info, the CORRECT steps for entering CWM (or stock if not using a custom kernel) is to power device completely off, wait for the vibrate to indicate shutdown. Then press and hold volume up and the power button, once the samsung logo comes on release only the power button, do not release the volume up, continue holding volume up until CWM loads.

On my 4.0 US I don't hold the volume any longer than the power button to get into CWM--i.e., I let both go at the samsung logo, and it goes in.

That's how I always entered CWM or the stock one lol. It works for me. Also another way I did it was wait until the samsung logo appears and then hold power + volume up at the same time. I didn't let go of either the power button or volume up button, and just waited for it to come on.
Next time for a better result Go to a stock rom and Flash a kernel with odin. best way to Install CWM perfectly.
like Terra Silet, i have Gplayer 4 and Rooted This Kernel One Milion time

[Q] my screen is black, no access to bootloader ,adb/fastboot doesnt recognize phone

sprint htc evo 4g lte, rooted s-off, twrp recvoery, stock android 4.1 rom
I was roooted for sometime now and have been using a stock rom but i decided i want to try the stable cm10 rom. Created twrp backup and I followed directions and wiped cache,Dalvik cache and performed factory wipe before i flashed the rom. After the flash was successful i rebooted the phone and thats when the problems began. The Htc splash screen came on and then the screen went blank and cant get it to do anything.
what i've tried
1)held down power button for 10 secs to reboot phone,soft screen buttons light up indicating reboot, phone vibrates htc splash screen comes on and then black screen returns
2)tried to enter bootloader but holding down power button and vol button but nothing happens
3)connected phone to computer to run adb/fastboot, adb devices and fastboot devices does not find my phone
4)let the battery drain completely and then recharge but same problem persists
Im stuck on what to do next does anyone have any ideas on what to do or do i have a bricked phone.
Have u used the power/ volume down before to access bootloader cause it can be tricky if your not used to it.
Once your lights have flashed 10 or twelve times I usually take my finger off the power button and press & hold vol down then a few seconds later I press power while never letting go of vol button.
Also you never mentioned wiping system before the flash. This is probably the most important wipe. Its basically the Rom
Good luck
