S2 re-partition with odin FAILED, phone not powering up - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
The problem started last night, i had no sound coming from my speaker. After some checking i found that for some reason the phone was thinking that my headphones are always connected, even if they were in the other room. I tried reflashing it, and i couldn't boot up anymore. Tried flashing new kernel, nothing. Tried flashing stock firmware, nothing. The phone won't accept any firmwares. So i tried to REPARTITION with odin. And i think i got the wrong tutorial
My phone is a gt-i9100, and i repartition it with omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit
In odin was like this:
pit file selected
auto reboot selected
re-partition selected
f.reset time selected
And start.....all done, green light but the phone won't power on, won't enter recovery/download.
Now what?

Posting questions in the general forum = bad
Flashing an I9100G .pit on an I9100 = worse
JTAG.

JTAG won't help you, because it is not bootloader corruption. Motherboard replacement will fix it.

another one bites the dust

Dude, this thread was last posted in back in October before your post.
That, and it was already established he used a pit file not meant for his device, which is what went wrong.

try force download mode, you need some one to help u
pull out the battery press the home+power+vol down
let the other person put the battery back

Hi all,
so is there any progress on this issue?
I did not want to open a new thread because this thread explains exactly my situation and I am posting here because this thread did not help me.
I have since yesterday the same problem. I unfortunately also repartitioned my Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 with "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" which actually is the wrong one.
(I know it is "stupid" but please do not explicitly state it in your replies, I am already aware of it.)
Is there a possibility fix this issue by repartitioning with the correct one?
Current Situation:
- My phone is not booting up
- not going into the download mode
- not going into the recovery mode
- if I plug into the PC with a USB cord, PC and Odin is not recognizing it
- if I try to charge it, I see no icon at all
- in short: it is dead
Solution I have found so far:
1- replace the motherboard
2- buy a usb jig
3- throw it away
So my question is about second (possible?) solution: if I buy a usb jib will I be able to use Odin to repartition with the right pit file? Did someone have experience or try this method?
I thank you all in advance for your replies.
Ibo

The jig more than likely won't work, but you may as well try one given they cost 1/3rd of sod all.
Option 1 tends to be the only way to fix the phone. And obviously option 3 is always possible (People who use the 'I'm going to smash it/throw it away/etc' line here tend to get ignored for the childish fools they are. We don't care what you do with your phone).
Edit -Yes, using a wrong PIT is the height of stupidity. Despite thousands upon thousands of warnings here/elsewhere not to touch PIT's unless you have a very specific reason for using one (0.000000001% of cases, you were not one of those people), people still do it.

Thanks for your answer. I thank you just for the part where you have written "Option 1 tends to be the only way to fix the phone.". This was enough for me to hear considering your experience in this forum. For the rest:
1: What would you do if your phone is not booting up and shows the Samsung logo even you wait 1 hour? Assuming that you already used options in recovery mode and also used Odin to update PDA several times?
2: Then you found a tutorial which says this is for Samsung Galaxy S II no further specifics given other than I9100.
3: Different people have different sense of humor so I do not blame them when I see in many forums where they write throw it away. I think it does not make sense to overreact to such suggestions. For example I just laughed when I read something like this.
Best,
Ibo

1) If I'd tried everything (and I mean everything, over and over and over), I'd assume the NAND is stuffed, bite the bullet & have the motherboard replaced one way or another. I'd either find a 2nd hand one & have a local mobile repair shop/not an authorised Samsung repairer replace it for me, or if I couldn't find one I'd pay an authorised Samsung repair to put a new one in. Or I'd get a new phone.
2) Before I got my phone I did a lot of research/reading/learning. For over a month. When I got my phone, I did even more research/reading/learning. I didn't jump blindly in messing with my phone without knowing what I was doing. If I saw some dodgy tutorial that told me to use a PIT when everything else I'd read said not to touch except for a very specific situation, I wouldn't touch a PIT unless I was in that very specific situation. Knowledge is power & stops you doing silly/desperate things. It's like putting your hand on the stove when you've already learned you'll get burnt if you do.
3) I'm glad you found what I said amusing. That probably speaks to why you broke your phone in the first place. I was deadly serious. From where I sit, a $700+ piece of electronics is too important to me not to take its continued proper functioning very very seriously. I realise some people get a new phone every 6 mths or whatever or don't care. To me, that's wasteful.
Edit - If you're able to have it assessed cheaply/for free, it might (again, less likely than more) even be JTAG'able, but I wouldn't be spending a lot of money up front having it looked at given it's likely not to be.

1. It is nice to hear that in any case the motherboard should have been / be repaired. You are right that was an expensive try but even if didn't I had to let the motherboard repaired. It was written the same thing as you said: the motherboard should be repaired so why not try this option: yes awful but if you have no other option and you tried really everything, you just give it a try.
2. I have been using this Samsung Galaxy SII since a couple months after it is first launched (mid 2011) and did not have any problem so far, so I did not have any interest or reasons to learn about flashing or any advanced methods.
3. Sorry there is a misunderstanding there. I found amusing not you have written but when I saw on an android forum where they written whether let the motherboard repaired or throw away/sell parts and buy a new phone instead. This "piece of electronics" is too expensive not only for you, I think for many people including me. That is why I posted here before giving 125€ to an authorised Samsung repairer.
Best,
Ibo
