My luck is very bad. I failed to flash my 9100, and now I can not turn on my phone. No matter I press on which keys, the screen keeps black. And I connect it to my computer bu it can not be detected. I have tried the Counter Reset Patch to go to downloading mode, but failed. So what should I do now? If I sent it back to Samsung Service , how much will they charge me? Or If I can fix it by myself ? Who can help me? Thanks very much..
First, your luck isn't very bad, computers don't have luck, if you've bricked your device it's because you've messed something up not because you're unlucky.
Second, what exactly did you do to flash your phone? You haven't given anywhere near enough information for anyone to help you hence the lack of replies.

Thank you very much. U are right, I bricked my phone by my careless. I was restoring my phone to a previous system,then it got stuck in the recovery. I waited for a long time finally I have to take out the battery. Then it bricked.

As far as I know I am the first. U know under almost all conditions u can fix it by downloading mode , but now I can not enter that mode. So I am unlucky.
1 tip
Try charging the battery using another mobile or external battery charger.Then connect. By my experience usb drivers of android dont easily get damaged or lost until u ruin the rom heart and soul.

What did you actually flash? Firmware, Kernel or are you trying to Root your phone?
If you can go to Download Mode then flash Stock Firmware. To be safe, charge battery to at least 70% before flashing via Odin3 v1.85. Provide more details so it would be easier for others to help....cheers

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

I was using,

CSC: I9100NEELP4
Version: 4.0.4
Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

Sorry dude
You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
And thank you for your reply. In this desperation every reply from community member is like gold.

Hello XDA,
I was trying to flash CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2, was running Stock ICS XWLP7, successfully flashed it, proceeded to CWM and Wipe Data/Factory Reset unaware of the eMMC Brick Bug, went away during the wipe process, as I came back, I saw that the phone was completely bricked. Download/Recovery Modes don't work, Odin doesn't recognize anything, can't charge phone, the phone is cold and dead. Jig or JTAG don't work either.
btw. I can't get it replaced.
1. Is this the infamous superbrick?
2.If yes, what can I do about it? If no, what is it?
Yes, looks like you've encountered the infamous superbrick
The only way to revive a superbricked phone is to send it to Samsung service center.

Then he needs to pay for a motherboard replacement, simple as that.
Also, by the way, why did you create this thread when we already have plenty of this exact topic? You could have diagnosed this easily by looking at one or more of the threads we already have without creating yet another one and waiting for same answers.
Is it insured under home insurance or bank/credit card? Otherwise it's buy a new phone or send back to Samsung for repair and pay. Good luck.

Because all the fixes were like, flash X from Odin, but the phone doesn't get recognized by Odin.
The phone was bought from Germany, Samsung Turkey refuses to replace it, it must be sent to Germany for replacement.(if possible)

And in those cases the devices were never actually "bricked" at all, those were just n00bs who couldn't fix their system boot problem and like to describe their device as "soft-bricked". In your case your device is actually "bricked" what the n00bs call "hard-bricked" when in reality their is only "bricked". If you can flash via odin or recovery your device is not bricked.
In your case you wiped your device with a buggy kernel (which has been discussed at length as I said) and only option is mobo replacement.
hi,
I was about to root my s3 using the toolkit, i've been reading guides and stuff. I'm not new to rooting but do it just in case so that i don't take any wrong steps.
I've come across many threads where people have lost their imei after flashing roms. most of those threads were on us based carrier s3.
so just wanted to ask if international s3 - uk version is also prone to deleting its imei.. haha because i think i will avoid rooting if it is.
Battery life for me has been an issue since the start. I'm a heavy user so maybe rooting and installing another kernel, undervolting etc would give me few hours etc.
thanks :laugh:

Yes, just make sure you take an EFS backup. Losing IMEI is the least of the GT-i9300's problems

all the evidence points to the fact that the fix is in the kernel, not the bootloader, so you can downgrade the bootloader with a simple cwm flash

well FYI, there's no point in that. as long as you're using Siyah, CM or Stock don't have any effect on SDS. like, at all
He's right - no point.
There is a fix in the bootloader too, but this only affects your use of download mode. If you have a fixed kernel and recovery, you should be fine.
I keep an ALF6 bootloader installed to keep warranty in any OTHER situation so I have 0 flash counter (and I just avoid writing NAND from download mode).
if I get SDS, either I get FULL SDS (phone completely dead) or I get HALF SDS, when status shows as custom, even if unrooted. Having CM is no more a lose than stock.
I already had my Mobo replaced last November though. Still go 0xf1

1650.
Try to nuke it.
You gotta rule out software before you start thinking hardware.

Help me my friend in this question....
With the problems that I reported, what I have to do???
The installation shows 4 different ways to do... With my problems, what I have to flash???
You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
Exactly.

The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.
You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
Give it 2 weeks.
