So like title says, i think i might have messed up my bootloads on my galaxyplayer 4.0, it won't even turn on, or the screen won't turn on nor will it go to download mode, i hear jtag can fix this, but besides that, is there anything i can do that won't cost $40?

Maybe you could try the unbrickable resurector or a usb jig. Also could you describe what you did to get there.
idk y but i was jsut trying some stuff, tried to install some new o.s's on it and stuff, but it hink i got the bootloader for another phone and put it on it, i tried a usb jig but i can't get into download mode

I'm not a professionnal but if you flashed another device bootloader onto your device I don't think there is really hope. I think JTAG is the only choice as it can flash bootloader (I think but not sure). Sorry but I can't help you anymore.

Not true, I flashed a 4.0 file unto my 5.0 player and I was able to fix it/get it working.

You probably flashed a 4.0 rom not a bootloader. Those are really different. I really doubt you could have done this if you flashed a bootloader even if the device are really the same as the bootloader is needed to get into download mode. Again, I'm not a professionnal but this is really unlikely to happen.
My 4.0 US player stopped working too. Got a 2 dollar jig off Amazon and went right into download mode. Make sure the jig is correct. And make sure you let you batter sit out of player about 20 seconds first.

My phone is 100% bricked, I was flashing blitzkrieg bootloader to flash his ROM and something went wrong.
Now my phone wont turn on, wont nothing. . .
So the Question is: has anyone went out of this? I now the jig method, but I searched and didnt find anything.
eif you borked the bootloader there is a good chance there isnt much you can do besides a jtag reset, now a jig wouldnt hurt to try but i wouldln't count on it working. i personally will always stay away from bootloaders until i get my own jtag rig.
Goodluck bro hopefully the jig works.
if the vibrant is originally yours you could make a warranty claim with samsung stating you were attempting to flash 2.2 through keis and your phone wont work now, otherwise like said jig maybe, Jtag almost assuredly, will fix your phone.
If you are actually considering a JTAGing, search in the forum for connexion2005. He have lots of experience doing it and have a website and everything.
Its sad, but you remembered me why i shouldn't mess with the bootloader. Goodluck with your phone bro...
What happened during the bootloader flash? I just flashed the GB bootloader and the whole process was over in less than 10 seconds, not much room for error..

I couldn't agree more with everything in this post. Nice community situation here
- The Samsung Kies killed my phone excuse has gotta be the ultimate life saver, but over time I'm starting to agree with others that it's probably not something I should endorse. As I root more and more of my friends devices I'm starting to find that 1) I hate them. and 2) NOBODY will read an OP all the way through!

I wholly agree with you that this method is something that should be avoided if at all possible, however I know jtag services can be hard to find as well as sometimes quite costly.

Your battery probably died.
You dont have to flash a pit with it because it uses the phones native pit when flashing the bootloader.
Also, the OP for the gb Bootloader states that it CHANGES the key mapping. volume up and power gets you dl mode. Try that before jtag. I had this problem trying to flash the rom because i couldnt figure out recovery. Turns out I didn't read it right. I read it through, just didn't interpret it correctly.

Great news and nice tip from the OP. However, if that tip works, you were not fully hard bricked...
Ok, last update: I got it repaired!
JTAG was the only solution for this.
My phone was:
DEAD, NO SCREEN BOOT UP NO NOTHING
NO REACTIONS AT ALL
NO BATTERY CHARGING IMAGE
NO NOTHING!!! JUST A TOTAL BRICK.
Thank you all!!
Glad to hear you got it sorted out be careful flashing those boot loaders

bricked my phone vibrant
I faced the same issue when my phone got bricked.
1. odin back to jfd
2. GB bootloader installed.
3. updated to 2.2 froyo via kies...
after that the phone never turned onn...BRICKED...
sending it to connection2005 for JTAG...
hope that resolves the issue.
So I was trying to root new Galaxy s2.. long story short, I think I hard bricked it.
The device won't power up; or at least the screen won't show anything.
I can't get to Download Mode.
Is there anyway I can save my new 400 dollar investment?
How are you trying to get into download mode ? Hold the volume down, home button and the power button at the same time. When you get the Samsung screen, release the power button but keep holding the volume down/home buttons until you get into download mode.
If you really can't get into download mode your options are:-
1) Get a jig. This would be your last chance to get into download mode before sending it off for repair.
2) Find someone near you who does JTAG repairs. This option will be cheaper than paying for Samsung to repair your phone.
3) Return the phone to Samsung. As you've tried to root the phone, there's a fair chance you'll end up paying for said repair as this voids your warranty. On the other hand you might be one of those people who get lucky and Samsung fixes your phone under warranty regardless. A roll of the dice essentially.
Edit - Remove your battery & leave it out for a minute or so before trying to get into download mode.
Or failing options 1 & 2 already suggested then perhaps option 2a..
Apply a current to the sim connectors under the battery and make sure it never evers boots again, Samsung won't know what's happened to it and will repair/replace FOC.
(I find an old laptop PSU minus connector plug usually applies enough current for this)
Hehehehe ;-) Damn that brought back memories Uridium. I used to do that with Sega Mega Drive cartridges. However, I'm not sure we should be suggesting same on here. Not exactly ethical and bordering on fraud tbh

Looking at JIGS on Ebay, I'll probably get one from there.
So how would I use that?
Plug it in to get to Download Mode then take it out and plug in USB connection to my PC?

Haha I will try the JIG method first.
But thanks for the devious idea ;]
Yep. Look for "Samsung Galaxy S2 download mode jig" or something like that on eBay. Shouldn't be more than a few bucks. When you get it, make sure the phone is off, plug the jig in the usb port & if you're lucky the phone will boot into download mode. Yeah, once you're in download mode, remove the jig, plug a USB cable in/connect to your PC then flash your firmware of choice via Odin.
We can worry about which firmware to flash once you're able to get it to boot with a jig tho. Post back here when you get it & then we can work out which firmware to go with.

Thanks for your help! The JIG should arrive by Friday. Till then.. back to my iPhone 3G, yuck.
Hey I have an idea, why don't you tell us how you think you bricked your phone.
Because, for example, if you've flashed a bad Kernel then your phone may seem bricked (it has all the characteristics) but can be recovered by someone who knows what to do. Likewise, if you were flashing something with Odin and you had a sudden spasm attack and pulled the USB out, you've bricked your phone. Tell us what you did and we can give a proper reply.
EDIT: If the phone is only soft bricked and you can get into DL mode with a JIG, you go can it without one.

Well, first I was using odin to root it by changing the kernel. But I think I was using the wrong version and then I got "firmware is wrong. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."
Then I tried to put back 2.3.4 and that's where I think went wrong. I unplugged the phone because it was just stuck with Odin on for over 10 minutes.
Then now I can't even turn it on.

If Odin hadn't finished its business and you unplugged your phone then yea, you've probably bricked it. Cases like these is why I never use Odin, its beta software which even the developers don't fully understand how it works. Even if through no fault of your own, Odin can fail, and that leaves you pretty well ****ed. Try the JIG, you may have unplugged it when it wasn't flashing something important, but yea, I'd start making up a really good excuse to get a new phone.

Well it might be possible to Unbrick your phone without Jig, but solution has not worked for 100% user, though it has worked for me(I'm not sure it was hard brick). So here are the steps:
1- Start Odin
2- Attach the USB cable to the PC (DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE PHONE)
3- Press and hold "Volume up" and "home" buttons
4- Attach the USB cable to the phone while holding both buttons
5- The phone will enter in download mode
Just flash the stock kernel after that.
And don't forget to THANK me if it works

yup now i learned my lesson. the qualcom tool is the qpst i was talking about. but you need the files to flash to it. i think your files are lost bro. unless you send it to samsung so they can fix it. i dont think if they flash it will delete your files since they wont flash to the sd card partition. but then again im not sure if they will notice if you were rooted. next time im saving all my stuff into my external sd
Yea, now I just await the call from Bestbuy about getting more in. My JIG comes in tomorrow so we will see.
Not surprisingly to see people who ruin there device and want to exchange it for another. Of course even though it was there own fault for ruining it they shouldn't have to pay for the replacement.
Makes perfect sense for companies and carriers not to support rooting/flashing. Its bad enough already.

That is the reason Motorola locked their bootloaders, and others have raised insurance premiums. Please don't lie. Its insurance fraud first of all. If you ruined your device by flashing non-stock ROM's and such its time to man up, and dish out the money for a new phone. Don't make other's pay for your mistakes/missfortune. Do some more research on the other method of flashing and see if you can fix it. I wish you luck.

Hello,
Maybe you can shed light on my situation. I was using Resurrection's 4.2.1 ROM on my SGS2 and then some Google processes started to force close. So I went to recovery mode and tried to flash the same ROM over again, but it was not there. Stupidly I went to backup/restore and tried restoring the device. It said something about deleting boot load up (something among those words)? Then my phone just died. I could not turn on the power, recovery mode, download mode or even get the screen on when charging the battery. From my understanding, the processor is not fried, but it just can't boot up. My question to you experts is: Has anyone had a similar problem, and if so can a micro USB jig fix this issue or is this a job for MobileTechVideos and their JTAGing solution?
Hopefully someone has some information on this matter and can let me know what my options are.
Anyhow, I am going to the store early tomorrow to pick up the necessary items to make a USB jig. I will let you know if it works out too.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Jig wont work because of the updated bootloader. It only works with Gingerbread bootloader.
I'm afraid you only hope is give it to someone and let him try to repair the phone with Jtag.
still...try a jig. Can't hurt.

Wrong.
The USB jig works on all bootloaders for putting device into download mode. What doesnt work is resetting the binary counter on ICS+ bootloader.
Your confused or misinformed.
OK. I made a jig and tested it out with my friend's SGS2 and it worked. It put it into download mode no problem. But when I tried it on my phone, it didn't work. I think this phone is toast, or maybe I should send it in to JTAG it. :crying:
jtag it is. Good luck with that.

Thanks for the info.
Sorry on the misleading post! :/
I got a S II and rooted it, maybe i did a bad flash or sth and now I cant turn my phone on, even odin and recovery, what should I do! Do i have to JTAG it??
Device Model?
What ROM were you on?
What did you try to flash?
Before Jtag, you gotta try USB jig.

Can you get download mode??? have you tried a usb jig???? if no if no download mode then jtag it probably is going to have to be. Good luck :crying: (never good to see an s2 die/go into a coma)
if you manage to recover the poor thing double check you rooted correctly. You wouldn't want to do it again. Im told that jtaging is an expencive game to pay for.
