If he doesn't know which ROM to install why did you let him? Only a JTAG repair would help since you don't have warranty too.

Why on earth have you created this topic when we already have plenty of this 100% exact same subject????
All you're doing is adding to the flood on needless topics that plague this forum. You have no need to simply clone topics for fresh replies that are same answers that have already been given before.

You cant just order Jtag from ebay. Jtag is made with RiffBox, which a very expensive piece of hardware. You also need some other skills and generally, Jtag is used only by professionals who know what they're doing.
What you need to find is a Jtag repair shop in your area. Jtag repair is much cheaper than getting a new motherboard.

ROM flashing is not something to joke around. Flashing a ROM without knowing what ROM is it could lead to the bricking of device. I bet your brother don't even know whether that ROM is compatible with the S2 model.
Could it be that he flashed a non-G version of ROM to a i9100G, or vice versa that leads to this condition?

Hopefully you can fix it without replacing the motherboard. No need for another thread on the subject.

how can they check about stock rom either its motherboard is dead a jig that works perfect on my bro galaxy s2 but not getting into download mode on my s2
in one post on this forum i see a reply from a member that if jig is not working then motherboard is dead that only way to send it in warranty to service center.
Just take it to Samsung Care... Theu wont identify anything...
And if you are from India/Pakistan/Philippines then they don't even know about Root

If jig doesn't work then most probably the motherboard is dead(if it doesn't turn on at all it is a hard brick), and by replacing the motherboard by warranty they won't be able to tell whether you had a custom rom.

I thank people who write helpful posts, so i expect the same.
Yup take it to care - in all probability they won't know what you did the thing is you'll now have to make up a believable lie , which ofcourse is fairly easy, in case they ask you - what happened
clearly,god is a democrat!
thanks to all of you friends and for your good opinions........
thanks again and hope for next help

Hi Friends,
Recently i got my new i777 and while flashing the slimbean rom via cwm from a stock kernel got my i777 hard bricked. Guess what i never thought that my device could even get this worse. More over as it was hard bricked ( as it looked completely dead ), i live in india so no device warranty or support was found from samsung officials. So thinking that i would get my deivce jtag from the professionals, but after approaching three of them, they all said that my device could not be jtag as its BootIc is corrupted. So the jtag option is also out of reach. So i am asking is can the SOC or motherboard can be repalced by new one to get my device ressurected. Any professional advice is appreciated. Thank you guys for reading this. And by SOC i meant to say this ( look in the attachments ).:angel:

At this point isn't it just easier to get a new phone? Even if it's a cheap one temporarily.

Hi guys!
This might be a strange/noob question, but could somebody tell me all possible ways to brick/hardbrick a phone?
I'm new to android's world and I already bricked my S2 twice (Im not proud of it)
Hopefully I found the solution to unbrick it.
I really want to try new ROMs, kernels, etc., but I'm really afraid of doing something stupid and hard bricking my phone.
So I want to know, what I mustn't do with it.
Thanks in advance.
The quickest way to brick your phone is to not read and understand what you're about to do.

If you want to try new Rom's or Kernel's,You Read the Instruction FIRST
Yep. RTFM. I can count the number of people who bricked their phones on here over the past two years who were 'unlucky' on both hands (and that's out of many thousands). Almost always user error of some kind. Make sure you use a machine that you know has reliable USB ports if you're doing an Odin flash, make sure you use cables (preferably original Samsung ones) in perfect condition.
Hi i need some help please! I was using a ROM (MUI) later i try to install another, but i did a wrong option ( i don't remember actually what is) but now it erase me all the system. when i turn my phone on its only ( samsung galaxy s2 on the screen and nothing happen), also can use lock, volume down and home to downloading mode. i don't know what to do :'(. please some one help me i got a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 im kinda desperate.
i want to know how i can get to stock. please some help URGENT! :crying:
Why on Earth would you do something ridiculously foolish like that ? If you're going to mod your phone, make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it & pay attention.
The help you need is in this thread, and by that I mean do what I told that guy to do (and what Hopper also told him to do). Do not post to the other thread, simply read the help I've provided, and go fix your phone.
I referred you to it because I can't be arsed typing the exact same thing 3 times within 5 minutes (twice is plenty for my level of patience, trust me).

Hi. I am new to this forum but i think i kinda understand what your problem is. I mean a solution since you get to go into the downloading mode. try to use odin to flash the sammy stock rom? Somewhere in xda you can find the tutorial. Good luck.
P/S: Try it/do it at your own risk. not responsible for any damages. :laugh:
First of all, hi there. Im a new member and also a noob hehee..
Ok, direct to the questions.
I just upgrade my s3 gt-i9300 to a custom rom and it got softbricked.
I search anywhere to fixed the problem via odin and ota, but still cant fixed it. Pit problem and so on.
After all of the time i wasted, it still not solved and still stuck into samsung logo.
So, i decided to repair it to the technician. The technician said, my phone cant be repair using software , so he's gonna change the 'ic' of the motherboard. The cost is RM250.
The next day, my phone is done repairing.. but now, my phone version is only ics 4.0.4.
So the technican said, my phone cant be upgraded anymore. He said whenever u change the 'ic' of the motherboard, it wont be upgraded anymore.. so i got angry and said, why didnt he tell me before .... so, anyone can help me??? Is that true? Or the technician just troll me so i can send my phone to him and he got money more? Im confused about this.. anyone pls.. thanks a lot..

First of all welcome to xda. I've requested this thread to be moved to the troubleshooting thread cause this is the General thread and not meant for questions such as yours.
As for your question... I don't think he changed your ic just like that he may just have flashed a stock ics rom on your phone so he may had charged you quite a bit. You can always upgrade the 4.3 when you use ODIN if you want to know more there are stickies you can start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/frequently-questions-t2148708. Also be careful on flashing custom roms always make sure that it's for the GT-I9300 model that you have.

Thank you for your answer. So, can i upgraded my s3?? Coz the technician said that my phone will be damaged if upgraded. I still worry about this. By the way, is it really true that whenever the ic of the motherboard changed, the android can't be upgraded anymore??? Pls help me..
Maybe he changed the motherboard, maybe he didn't. It wasn't repaired properly, leaving it on 4.0 and telling you not to update it means the efs is patched to get it working, this might be your old motherboard with a bad fix or a 'new' motherboard with a bad coding of your imei and serial number.
Either way the technician isn't capable of repairing the phone so best try getting your money back, use the update excuse as a lever.
Leaving the phone on 4.0 will mean sds happens, as that version has a bug that kills the nand memory.
Thank you for answering. Here another question more. So,are there any way to fix my phone? If i upgrade my android to 4.3 will it be damaged?
