Yesterday I've start data wipe (going to give the phone to my wife).
Data wiped, started rebooting and I've got a black screen.
Seems the phone is fully dead. It's not turning on, not entering recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power), not entering download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power). When I connect charger it does not show battery charging on screen. :crying:
At Samsung Official Service Center they said me that it is motherboard fail and it is need to replace it and it costs $270. F4k them, I sure that this is a software problem, not hardware.
And when battery is in phone, the battery is heating up, so phone is on.
Can I do anything myself?
PS. All manuals here assume that one can enter download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), but I can't enter it.
You could try using a usb Jig to get to DL mode.

bricked = dead = don't need to cry here on General forum = take it to fix at samsung = if still on warranty, it's free
If the phone is not booting at all (and it doesn't have any signs of life), then it's definitely hardware problem.

The only sign of life - is heating when connecting the battery
But how can this be a problem of hardware, if this problem arose after a reset to factory settings?
Seems that u wiped data on 4.0.4 with stock kernel .. which has the brickbug ( i mean the emmc brickbug , it corrupts the emmc , once it is corrupted, u must replace the entire motherboard ..i had the same problem last week .. sent it to samsung and was out of warranty too)
Sorry for your phone

The software has affected the hardware.Why have you got no warranty?.If you bought the phone 2nd hand then now you can see it wasn't such a good deal.
Samsung should be giving people like you a "goodwill warranty" gesture.
Contact them and ask for it.....

There could be two things..
Your phone is in comma...
Or Dead
If its in comma then usb jig will work...
But if its Dead only Samsung Care God can help...
So take it to them... No other solution

I have a warrany but I thought that it is soft problem and can be solved quickly.
But yesterday evening I took the phone to Samsung official Service Center for warranty. They said it could take more than 2 weeks. Will be waiting.
I'll write here when I get it back.

Yes I told about resetting to factory settings. They accept it anywhere on warranty service.
But you wrong, I have not flashed it! I just choose data wipe/factory reset in standard recovery menu.

eMMC chip

Hello everyone,
I've just bricked my S2.
It won't start at all.
I've flashed I9100XXLP1_I9100OXALP1_OXA and tried to root it with cf-root-sgs2_xx_oxa_ki3-v4.1-cwm4
After the root it won't start up, it was showing SAMSUNG and the yellow triangle with a ! in it.
I've tried to re flash the XXLP1 and it won't start flashing, so I pulled the data cable.
And now it won't start.
PLS HEEEELP!!!
I'm from Romania, maybe someone from Bucharest can help me.
It is not mine, and the owner is anxious to see it, I just wanted to help her unlock it, and..... (
pls help!!
thx a lot!!!
try a usb jig but seems like its a complete brick if it will not turn, needs jtagging by the sounds of it,
can you go into download mod? flash stock firmware in download mod via odin by press volume down +home button + power.

1) You didn't read instructions... Why would you try to root a XXLP1 >> ICS << Rom with a KI3 >> Gingerbread << CF-Root ? It states in Chainfire's thread to find the matching letters and root it with the corresponding kernel... You DIDN'T bother to read.
2) Like the poster above said, try entering download mode, and flashing stock ROM again... If you can't, read >> 4)
3) You can try with a USB Jig, though i doubt it will help...
4) Seems like it's completely bricked, probably will need jtag repair, or maybe you can get lucky with warranty + samsung repair service
5) Learn to read...

@gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck
yes, my bad
do you think that if I send it back from where I bought it and lie them that it didn't start at all, and that I didn't do anything they will replace it?
it is worth it to try or they will figure it out?
thanks
You could send it into your carrier/Samsung for repair & they might repair it anyway, but there's a much greater chance they'll charge you for it.
A jig is very unlikely to work, but for the sake of a few dollars is worth a try.
Do a search for JTAG repair on here/Google (here's one to get you started). This will probably be cheaper than having it repaired by Samsung/whomever does their repairs in your country.
Which option you choose is obviously up to you.
As MistahBungle said, you could try taking it to samsung and they might repair it under warranty,no questions asked...then again,they could charge you more likely than not... If that happened to me I would take the phone to samsung as i don't trust those shady guys doing jtag repairs... they fu** something up, you lose warranty, you get left without a phone...my 2 cents

No problem dude, glad you managed to get it under warranty Just make sure you read the instructions carefully next time
Hi,
While i was trying to reset flash/binary counter, i click reset counter n after some process, phone switched off.. i waited a little while to reboot but it didn't. then, i switched on by myself but when samsung galaxy logo appears, it died.. i tried many times but couldn't go after that.. then i tried to boot in recovery mode but it also didn't worked. thankfully i could boot in download mode and had root with odin [CMW 6.4] to run recovery mode n it worked. but after rooting my s3, i switched on n see pin code screen.. then, i realized the main issue "my touchscreen is not working" !! i don't know how it happen but phone looks fine, rom is working well but touchscreen is not working.
At first, i boot in recovery mode n wipe all data (factory reset), cache n dalvik cache and with a great hope, restarted my s3 but still had same issue. then, i remember i had a nandroid backup n i boot in recovery mode again. i restored it n restarted. but even i get back my previous settings, touchscreen still doesn't work. i can see wallpaper n then pin code screen but i can't do anything. it doesn't respond my touch n screen goes black. only vol. up/down, home n power buttons working. i guess
don't know to solve this mess. my s3 is a SHV-E210K n i got 4.1.1 JB. There're much people who use this device so that i couldn't find any solution. if somebody can help me to get out from this trouble, gonna be appreciated.
waiting your help guys, thanks in advance.
i think we already have 4 with identical case, all you can do now is to go to samsung service center for warranty, i think the touchscreen panel or digitizer had been damage. check the triangleaway thread in gs2 forum they report their problem and solution there.

my mistake as i did not see where you live, i think not the actual touch panel was damaged but some other electronic parts in panel assembly has been damaged, i also waiting and hoping for possible software fix before i go to service center for warranty. but i think it is possible, do you know the emmc brick problem caused by flashing firmware that is a hardware damaged by software.
other guy with e210k in another thread already went to samsung service center for repair and they replaced the touchscreen.

today, i get my phone back n didn't repaired cos they offered to change led screen + touch screen n it costs around 400$.. so that, i didn't but there's no way to fix it with a software.. i'm looking for a cheaper solution
do u think they will samsung gonna accept to repair your phone with warranty? cos if they see that u rooted your device, it's out of warranty..
i think you have no other choice then, you can't revive dead electronic parts by software, just take your chance maybe they will not notice it, just tell them that your touchscreen is not functioning. just went to samsung service center this morning for my s3 e210k repair and they replaced my front cover and display assembly to a new one and it is running smoothly again. lucky me my counter is 0 and status is official that why didn't pay any charge.

yeah, you are really lucky n im convinced that i can't revive it with any software. i will send my device to warranty but still couldn't reset my counter. everything is official on odin mode but just counter says yes (9 counts). i connect usb mouse to my device via on the go usb cable n control all functions with mouse. i tried to use triangle away again but when it needs to reboot the device, samsung logo goes dead or goes crazy with different colours. everytime, i install CWM again to get back my device.
pls, someone tell me how to reset counter with triangle away! i created a folder in sdcard directory which named "triangleaway" n put there triangleaway v2.3.6 apk n param.tar then run the application. but it doesn't reboot the device, goes dead. don't know how to use param.tar file. what should i do for a proper reset? i need to reset countern then i will flash official firmware to send my device to warranty.

i think you cannot reset counter now as your touchscreen is not working, you need to use triangleaway apk to reset counter. try your luck if you have usb jig to reset it maybe it will work for you.
i think the best you can do now is to flash stock rom and send it to a/s and pray that they will not check the counter.
Don't try your like. It can be done. Has every one of you forgot that sgs3 supports a wired mouse? Just get a USB adaptor and conect a mouse to your phone. Than you can start triangle away.

No you still have chance of resetting counter as you can use usb otg, dont use triangleaway 2.36 again after flashing stock rom and root instead use triangleaway 2.2 to 2.30 it will work im sure as i use 2.2 without softbrick.

My phone is totally messed up. Even with a Jig resetting it, Download mode does not work.
Phone is off, battery is out. When I turn it on to go into download mode -- Instead of the Samsung Logo coming up and THEN going into download mode, it goes STRAIGHT into download mode from a black screen (something I've never heard of or seen before, anywhere)
While in download mode - I open Odin (kies and everything is closed, drivers work fine) -- nothing works. It doesn't say "added"
I can't figure out what is going on.
Basically I messed up the phone because i did a factory reset from within settings -- I never did it from CWM.
The whole thing is insanely messed up. Please someone help.

if ur phone is under warranty then better take it to a nearest Samsung service center
afraid you are a victim of the superbrick bug, only a new board will repair that if odin fails to connect.
superbrick bug ???????
also not sure how i can tell if it's under warrenty --- but when I go into download mode it says 0 binary count (thanks to the Jig) so
Do I have to have a receipt or something ?
Where would the closest samsung repair shop be ?
Also "-99.9% is the custom kernels however do not have this super brick bug. I can confirm these kernels don't have it"
Mine was running Siyah's kernel -- so it couldn't be a superbrick bug
Any other tips
what version of syiah kernel have you used? One older version had brick big in it as well.

This is not super brick bug at all, stop giving people false information. The brick you're referring to is done via recovery mode not via Android settings. Also when its bricked you cannot turn phone on at all.
@ OP
Try
Different USB socket
Different PC.
Re-installing Kies
Also, you didn't mention if you can go to recovery or not?

I have no probs turning the phone on.
1) Turn it on Normally --- samsung logo comes up -- phone goes black -- nothing happens (although curiously if I hit the home button the screen flashes pure white then pure black so strange)
2) Can't get into Recovery at all
3) If I go into download mode, the samsung logo does NOT come up -- the phone goes from power off STRAIGHT into download mode. Once in download mode though, nothing happens when connecting to Odin.
Now I've tried different computers, and Odin still doesn't work. It works with other phones (my friends have the same phone) so it's not a driver / USB slot / etc. issue
No one I have talked to has ever seen anything like this.
I'm just wondering if I should just send it back to Samsung Electronics Service Center in Canada -- I don't have a receipt though the phone is a like 2 years old.
But the Jig did reset it to it's original settings (no binary count)
So strange.

In that case you should just send it for repair. It looks like a hardware fault to me so they will likley replace mobo or JTAG fix possible.

I wish there was another way.... if it's a hardware issue, then how can I turn the phone on and off and get into download mode?
Hi all ... I've been having this problem with my Samsung galaxy s2 i-9100 lately:
After booting, as soon as it enters into Android, the phone powers off. Also it seems not to be recognizing there's actually a sum card in it. I initially thought might be issue with my battery, but when I am going onto Recovery or Download mode I can clearly see the battery level being high (above 80%) and it is holding power as it should be.
One more thing I would add is that if I leave the phone connected to USB/charger, the phone stays ON and does not shutdown. Though sim card is still not recognized. And then as soon as I remove the USB / charger cable, the phone shuts down...
History: I was previously using Biftor 4.7 ROM , where everything was working fine.. then for some reason I reverted and installed stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM from sammobile.com . It is after installing the stock from that I think I started getting this issue.
I tried upgrading the modem to no avail ...
Current: baseband I9100XXLS6
Current Rom biftor 4.7
Any help and clue appreciated please ...
Thanks

He mentioned current rom.
@Nitish. Can you try booting your phone with another battery? And even I once faced sim problem on lsj. It resolved by flashing rom after a wipe.

My brother coming from London end of this month so I asked him to bring me genuine batt and charger.
Mine is genuine too, just wanted to rule out any odds..
However I am 'quite' sure this is not batt related - I didn't see any gradual degradation of charge held by my battery ... and as i already mentioned, if i boot to recovery or download mode , even with the screen lit at all times, the battery does hold on for ages!
I was thinking its maybe modem(baseband?) Related.
When i started getting the issue, to come back, I was on stock 4.0.4 with baseband i9100xxlq6. I tried updating this to i9100xxls6, which is what I am currently on, but same issue.

What rom you flashed ?
Any custom rom available for download mode ? I was once facing issues with screen flashing at boot time and hanging there. Couldn't go to recovery. I fixed by using a custom cyanogen from into download mode .. but I seem to have lost it ...

Still isn't clear for me about current ROM, you were on ics 4.0.4 and went back to Bifort?
Flash this via Odin and see if it flies.
If you still on 4.0.4 beware of brick bug.
And I'm pretty sure batt's got anything to do with this.

Yeah I started encountering the issue while is was on ics 4.0.4 stock .... then for troubleshooting I went back to jb biftor but issue persists.
Yesterday I flashed stock 4.0.4 again then connected to kies . It was saying a firmware update was released: so I downloaded it via kies and updated. Now my device has:
ROM: stock 4.0.4
Baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Build Number: IMM76D.XWLPY
When I issue Settings > About Phone > Status , I see serial number as 00000000000
Is this normal?
Can u tell me about the 4.0.4 brick bug? What about efs?
Apologies for late reply, am using Tapatalk only on Touchpad now ...

Well 4.0.4 worked well for some time , ....
The last apps I recall to install, after i rooted, was triangle away and a stock market app ...
Perhaps the triangle away messed something?

Dear Forum members i am new to this forum please help me to boot up my Phone :
After rooting using odin i have installed custom rom all working fine later tried to install another using odin selected .PIT file & re partition was checked in the middle Odin stopped responding disconnected the phone & phone stopped as attached image later battery empty. Now its completely dead no light no logo no boot sign tried to enter download mode, recovery mode, connecting to pc using kies, Odin nothing working.
Please help me to get the phone back to working
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately because you played around with the PIT file unless advised means that your phone is bricked.
Since you cannot get into any mode at all, the only method that might work to fix your phone is a Jtag device.

Thanks for quick reply. can you please tell me where Jtag is available in India people who do it?
Thanks in advance.
For the first time i used forum and its really helpfull.
If he's still getting the screen that he posted in his first post, then it does NOT mean it is bricked beyond repair. In fact, you should be able to flash using Odin while that screen is up.
I've only ever seen people get that screen when they either flashed an I9100G ROM or firmware to an I9100, or the reverse. (flashed an I9100 ROM or firmware to an I9100G)
OP, I'd make absolutely sure you are flashing a ROM or firmware that is meant for your model of device.

Oh. Well, if it's completely dead now, and no longer shows that screen, than Cosmic Blue's statement is probably true. JTag it is.
Use Google to try to find a repair shop near you that offers this service. If you can't find one close to you, you'll probably have to mail it off to a shop that does it.

Customer service may not know but if you talk to the technician he will know but may not want to do it as they will not make as much money as replacing the motherboard.
If you check the service manual that are posted on in this forum. one of the steps before replAcing the motherboard is using jig then jtag before you replace MB.
