It shouldn't brick your phone when you format your system. Have you tried the three button combo to go to cwm recovery (home+volume up+power)?
Edit: What rom and kernel are you previously on?

Did you try a USB jig? If you don't have it, then order it over Ebay... You must then have access to download mode..

There's no point. As mentioned above, as you were on stock 4.0.4 kernel and uve performed a wipe in CWM you've unfortunately fallen victim to the infamous brick bug by the sounds of it. Your only choice is get the motherboard replaced. If your still under warranty and reset your flash counter you may find they'll do it for free. Good luck and next time read around a bit before flashing anything to be safe!

well they can't check the flash counter cuz motherboards toast if its the brick bug, so if he's still on warranty he is lucky.

well guys seems my sgs2 i9100 died on me.
I'm an experienced user so I know what I'm doing, but this time seems it died.
what happened.
flashed new LQ5 sammy rom via odin for a quick test drive, all went smooth and tested all I had to test.
then it was time to flash another rom via odin.
as always before flashing another rom, I boot into fake recovery using cwm 5.8.1.5 and erase all partitions, system,data & cache and then reeboot straight to download mode to reflash the other rom via odin.
well this time, after erasing partitions I reebooted but it just went dead.
I tried about everything, even booting with usb jig into download mode, but it just doesnt work. screen is always black no message no signal no nothing.
what can I try to before RMA this Sucker ?
edit: solved by repair center replacing PBA MAIN

Well nothing, there are only to things that can resurrect this paperweight for you, and my guess is that you have neither of them
1. Fix it using JTAG
2. Change the PCB
So send it off to a repair centre near you mate

I have good soldering skills but For jtag looks like there´s a box needed, and since its still under warranty I guess I'll try to RMA before opening and permanently void my warranty.
Sounds like you hit the eMMC brick. I know this sounds cruel but it gave me the heads up as I was about to flash the new LQ5 ROM. Might think twice about it. Don't mess about with it, just send it off for repair and play dumb.

I think it has to do with the fake recovery. once this LQ5 firmware as a new pit file different from the older gingerbread one. and the fake recovery might not be prepared to deal with the partitions the way this new pit repartitoned
If you stay off the recovery, the rom works flawlessly, its my bad habbit of formatting the partitions before flash that screwd me
its nice that I have a usb jig and the counter is zero that way they cannot acuse me of using non official firmware.
Can you explain to me what the “fake" recovery is? Do you mean custom recovery?

you can boot into stock recovery and from there boot into fake recovery without the need to having a custom recovery installed in your phone.
Interesting. You didn't have ClockworkMod Recovery then? Because ROM Manager and CWMR don't get on together. Just return your phone to Samsung and say the update failed in Kies. It's a 50/50 chance they will fix it. But it's worth a try.

i told them i was updating the phone in kies and after that my phone din start
What build did you die on? Saying "LQ5" is useless - with ICS you MUST include the FULL build identifier including region code when talking about a given build.
Well now I might be little more cautious, but I have wiped multiple times using the dial code and it worked fine.
Might be the touch recovery done something or you!
Have to be sure before everyone gets Bizzurk about the Emmc brick, which we didn't have until now.
Fix it by JTAG / univ on Samsung Centre

The LQ5 release the OP is talking about is the leaked Samsung release of 4.0.4 for the GS2. Leaked a few days ago by sammobile.com. Is there any way to tell if the MMC_CAP_ERASE is still present in Samsung's new kernel? Or that is is at least equal to 0?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Mobile Odin Pro
Just a heads up. I purchased and used Mobile Odin Pro from since the release and have always used that ever since to flash leaked or official samsung roms due to the fact the pc version bricked my i5800 years back. Happy to say, It never failed me, Also it has support for Wipe Data and Also Dalvik cache. Options to Enable Ever Root, Inject Super Su (Best), And Mobile Odin so your always ROOTED :good:. Gotta hand it to Chainfire for his awesome works. I would suggest for everyone to use it for a worry free Day anytime changing non custom recovery roms, also I have had problems using superuser in the past when trying to install CWMR. Never with Super SU Pro, That's why I use it. Before thinking this post is not useful, think about it, you would be able to wipe data before flashing with no need to worry and perform it via fake recovery or CWMR. Also Odin performs MD5 checksum at your request to ensure its official.
Guys I used cm-10-20120801-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-CODEWORKX.zip, kernel-cm-10-20120801-i9100-signed.zip and gapps-jb-20120724-signed.zip to install jelly bean on my S2 I9100. It seemed to be working fine, but I used the Backup Everything software to restore my backup. It stopped responding after a while, i removed the battery, reinserted it and then tried to start the phone. It went into a loop and was stuck at boot screen.
I restarted it in recovery mode (vol +, home and power) and tried to clear the user data and cache. That too got hung. I tried to restart the phone using the power button and ever since nothing is happening on my phone.
I don't know what Backup Everything does, but it seems you need to reflash the ROM.

Try using a Jig first. If that fails then it's probably (super) bricked and there's nothing you can do about it other than what Adarzannh suggested. Search mmc super brick bug.

I have planned to go to a samsung service centre.
And if you get a free repair,when you get the phone back,make sure you flash a custom kernel like siyah so theres less chance of bricking it again.
Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.

i tried powering it on recovery mode but still nothing
how do i unbrick it?
Start by charging the phone, than remove and insert back the battery and try to enter download mode.
If you succeeded than flash stock 4.3 ROM with Odin and once the phone is up and running try to flash CM again.
If you can't enter download mode, than try searching if running ADB from your computer can help.
