Hi I bricked my sgs2.
It won't turn on or even come up with a screen when plugged into the mains.
So I looked on here and people was mentioning a jig.
Bought one and still doesn't bring up download mode.
Anyone know how I can bring my sgs2 back to life
Thanks

JIG's aren't a fix for bricked phones mate, they just assist with download mode and counter reset.
There has been quite bit of mis-information about them.
I am not expert enough to help, sorry dude, hopefully someone can steer you in the right direction.

Im in the exact same situation. Feeling pretty dumb at the moment.....
Jig didnt worked for me either. Damn
The story is
SGS 1 usb brought the phone to download mode when three button trick failed
SGS 2 Someone found early that using the jig to boot phone zeroed the custom rom counter.
SGS2 presumption was that the jig would still help with download mode so many have told the many newbies who have flashed without following instructions to buy a jig
Last week a poster said it does not and can not recover download mode unless the three button download mode also works .
jje
Thanks man. So that means my phone is dead ?

Edit 10/11/12
I received my jig from mobiletechvideos.com today. It worked as advertised. It reset the triangle, as well reset the custom binary download count to No, and reset current binary to "Samsung Official" even though I am running entropy512's 10092011 kernel.
Here is a link to a video, mine works just like the video

Has anyone tested a usb jig with the att gs2 yet?
It should work the same as with the i9100 version, but I was just wondering if anyone who has the phone that might have a jig and tested it yet.
I just tested my jig (I am rooted and had the triangle on my att version) and my count now says NO and the yellow triangle is gone.
Thanks, I wanted to just make sure before I bought our made one.

If I recall correctly, there are a few different possible resistor values for jigs? Which one is yours?
Now that I have a device with the bootloader counter, I need to get some resistors and finally open that package of MicroUSB breakouts from Sparkfun.
I'm considering buying the SGS II in the next week, what exactly does the Jig do? I didn't see much in terms of why you would need this for rooting so I figured I would inquire.
It will put your phone into download mode as long a your bootloaders are not corrupted (which can be done by other methods also), but more importantly it resets the binary flash counter to zero and removes the yellow triangle from the boot splash screen if you have a custom modified kernel or ROM flashed to your sgs2 phone.
All in all not a necessary device, but very useful to those who flash and modify their phone

So if I am not mistaken it's just a way to prevent AT&T Support from visually seeing you have at somepoint flashed a different kernel and theoretically voided the warranty.

Oh that wouldn't bother me in the least considering how rarely I reboot my device. Thanks, I appreciate the help. I anticipate that the community will have roms churned out left and right for this device based off the ease of hacking and the number of ROMs that were available for the Captivate.

my captivate jig worked on the S II
I think we will see a few people with old jigs that do work and old jigs that don't and it will be because slightly off the mark resistance. I bet those whose old jig that does not work will just need to tweak their jig by an ohm or two.
By the way I ordered a jig from mobiletechvideos.com yesterday and I will report back on if it works when I get it here.

Do you recall how many ohms your jig is and what wattage? I built mine with 301 ohms @1/4 Watts. Would unbrick Captivate to DL mode, but not soft-bricked Infuse. It would put working Infuse into DL mode though?????
an INFUSION of REALITY
Hello all,
yesterday something weiiiird happened to me.
i was changing the screen protector on my phone, once done i notice the phone was off (i changed the screen protector with phone on), so i thought i might have swiched it off without noticing it, but it doesn't turn on anymore.
tried to leave the battery out for a while but nothing
tried to put on charge but nothig
tried my wife's battery but nothing
no lights on the screen at all, completely dead.
just for info i was dualbooting cm9 and official 4.0.3 three operator ics with success, had no problem at all used it for a few days.i removed yellow triangle and reset counter with triangle away app about a week ago, not a sigle problem bu this weird this yesterday.
any suggestions ?? i have a jig but it doesn't do anything (maybe it because i'm on ics??, don't know)
please help guys..
It sounds like a hardware problem and I don't think that you are able to solve it yourself! The SGS2 is a tough phone and very hard to brick and when you haven't changed anything there is no other option than a hardware problem.
Have you tried to enter download mode? Volume up + home button while booting. When this doesn't work there is no way out and you have to send it to a repair service. But that shouldn't be a problem, because they won't be able to boot your phone, too.
Hope that helps!

Be aware if they manage to boot it up and see cm on there it probably will void your warranty and possibly be a costly repair if the fault isnt hardware just a thought. Hope it doesnt come to that for you though

Jig boots to download mode in ICS as well as GB.
JTag repair can be cheaper route .

Return it for warranty and get a new one. I hard brick mine by accidentally flashing a kernel from the international note. Return it and said that the phone no longer turn on, and i think it was a hardware defect.

Save your money. I know of several people including myself that have tried this service. I got mine sent back to me as repaired but indeed was not. They did however apologize for the mix up. I just wouldn't do it again. My opinion folks. Please prove me wrong...

I did the same thing, and Telus just issued me a new phone after waiting for it to be shipped to that specific Telus store, this is only the case if its within the first 30 days of purchase.
Good luck, hope you get it sortted out, and if yours is a Canadian GN, let me know what you did, as I want to try a root again. Possibly.. ت
Model: SGH-I717D
Version: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.8-perf
The process is quite easy ...
The key is reading for comprehension, and a good PC environment .
If you have those, you'll be rooted and done.

Download mode would indicate that the device is able to connect, as the USB drivers, or at least a portion of them, are contained in the download mode program.
But if the data is corrupted or missing, due to software or hardware issues, then the process would fail.
So you get "no " COM " detection at all ??
If not ...it's a JTAG fix most likely ....g

I should be getting back my note any day. Hopefully it is fixed since the order status says complete. I want to sell the note and get a tmobile one.

i agree that if you can get into download mode, then youre good. if the pc doesnt see it, then its most likely a driver issue. even if you have "a" driver specifically for it, there may be a different one that you would need for it to be seen in download mode. Hard brick is when the phone wont turn on or its just black and there is no download mode and no recovery mode. download mode is where its at! dont mean to get off topic.........Let us know how the jtag goes!

I used their services a few month ago and yes the phone was return restore to stock - also very fast turn around.
I have a Galaxy SII LTE HD from BELL. i757.
I succeeded in rooting the phone and instaling a cook ROM (cyanogenmod). Everything worked well.
Sadly, this morning, I've decided to push my luck forward and I tried to install another ROM wich is not eactly made for my phone (i757) but really near (I9100). It's the Slim ROM. Then after the installation, the phone didn't respond anymore. No booting, not event in recovery mode, only black screen like there's no juice in it anymore. I've tried to remove battery and put it back, I've tried to plug the phone directly on the wall. Nothing. The void ! It seemed totally dead. I've tried to do a soft then a hard reset. Nothing works.
I've bough the phone from somedy else so the company (BELL) won't repair it for free.
Do someone have an idea.
Any help will be really appreciate. :fingers-crossed:

According to me JTAG is your phone's motherboard..
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
JTAG is the only way to get your phone up and running again, a USB Jig will not help with a brick like yours... Find a JTAG repair service near you...
JTAG is a way to program dead boards, it can either be soldered to your PCB, or the service center can use JTAG Jigs which is far easier to use, but JTAG jigs is not available for all phones yet...
Hope this will help you a bit
Best regards
There's a high chance that the USB Jig won't force your phone into download mode. Next option would be to think about a JTag. There is a website famous for Samsung repairs: mobiletechvideos.com. They are based in the USA and have a good success rate, but if the motherboard was damaged during flashing, JTag won't revive it. Next option after that would be a replacement motherboard, I'm not sure if you would contact your service provider or Samsung. Good luck either way.
