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:

By "USB jig" do you mean holding volume down while connecting to USB ? If so, I've tried it but nothing happens.

No, USB jig is sort of USB connector which when connected force the phone to download mode. Search on eBay you'll find it.

I am not sure... correct me if I am wrong..
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.

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

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 ?

Well I built my own jig and no dice.
So I took the phone back and told the guy that I don't know what happened and they replaced it no charge.
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

Buddy, I think you have the magic jig.
But I hear that's what all the girls say.
So i was attempting to root this thing and put a fancy new rom on it, but have got lost along the way and now the phone will not boot into download or recovery modes. It just says Samsung Vibrant and stays there until I pull the battery. I am unable to do the key combos for any of the modes. The only way I could get into recovery was through adb command. But now I cant even do that. Any suggestions or should I just throw it in the can! Thanks

Yes a usb jig (dongle) should solve your problem but its not a guarantee. I would recommend buying one anyway, its a good thing to have around just in case things go wrong. They are only a few bucks so its worth it. You can also try using odin, I have heard of people flashing to stock without a download screen, if you see a yellow com box in odin then your good to go.

try this.. it works for me..
1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)
2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC
(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)
3- Power down Phone if you had not already.
4- Remove the battery.
5- Plug USB into Phone.
6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.

Yea I have seen that screen before, the dongle is going to be your fix most likely. Just wait for the usb jig if you ordered one, it should put you into download mode no problem. If for some reason the jig doesn't work then let us know.

@MikePysh
I have been in this situation. I feel for you. This the mothergoosing EU bug.
Best bet (and this is how I did it) is to replace the motherboard (I know it sounds scary but it is NOT).
Here are the steps:
1. Buy a used/busted/for parts Vibrant (broken LCD, etc) or even a Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959v from eBay or wherever you can. Do not pay more than US $30-35 if it comes down to that. These two phones, i.e. your T-Mobile Vibrant SGH-T959 and the upgraded 4G version SGH-T959v have the same specs with the exception that the 4G radio is activated on the "v" version.
2. You can either fix it yourself (if you feel brave) or take it to a repair shop and maybe pay US 20-25 for labor to replace the motherboard.
It entirely depends on how badly you want to fix it without throwing it away.
Check out this: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Vibrant to get a feel if you can do it yourself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks fham! Sounds like a project I might attempt.

Try to use Baywolf's Vibrant All in one. IT is really good. You could get into the download mode via the tool too.
Good luck.
