Is there anyone in England, that unbricks the Samsung galaxy s2, I have bricked my phone five times and had to send it to the US to get it unbricked , I know five times, I`m just lucky I guess. they do a good service but it can take weeks to get it back.. there is someone in Europe but I think someone should take this up, I was thinking off buying the riff box and doing it myself but I will probably **** it up.
I thought you said in the other topic you made in Sept the firm you used were "reliable and quick".
And theres plenty of firms offering Jtag services on eBayUK....you only pay the postage if they cant fix it.
As for a riff box.....they are only £120 but none I looked at said they work on the s2.
Maybe youd have to buy another item that costs a fortune so it can fix the s2.It must be possible though if people are doing it.....
Maybe someone could advise what you need and how much.
Any hey "sevens your lucky number"

Cheap EBAY car charger from Bargaincell.com fried the charging circuit/sync/USB connnector on my brand new 8525. The guy tells me he won't do anything about damages, so I'm stuck needing a replacement motherboard. Other than this my device is in perfect condition, so I'm not looking to part it out either.
If you have an operational motherboard, Please email me at:

Have you tried putting the phone in for warranty?
Well, I got the phone 2nd hand off of ebay (No Warranty). Shortly there after, another ebay product killed it. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1443395&postcount=22
I would still try and get it replaced through AT&T. I bought my 8525 through eBay and had an issue with it and AT&T still replaced it under the manufactures warranty for me. I've done it numerous times with phones over the years. The number you should call is 1-800-801-1101. It's definitely worth a shot...
Hmmm... I suppose the worst thing they can tell me is "no"...
I'll be damned... I didn't think that would work... A replacement is on the way! Thanks for the idea, TheBrit and ahfunaki!!
No problem, glad to have saved you some time and money...
And the nice thing is too, the phone you'll receive basically is brand new...
Bah... Cingular/ATT sent me a unit with the White screen issue. right out of the box... *sigh* A replacement for the replacement is on the way...

Or charge you for the new phone after they determine the damage wasnt due to a defect. You gotta be careful as they try to find anthing to make your fault. I got a couple boards if interested
LOL Just called them again tonight... Time for the replacement for the replacement for the replacement . The rep tried to talk me into taking a different model in exchange. "Sir, since you've had the trouble with that model, how about a different model instead? A Blackberry 7100, perhaps?" LOL. He didn't seem too surprised that I asked about the Tilt, and it seemed like he checked stock and said that there was none so far. We'll see what happens.
omg.....really>? if i would of known this i wouldnt of opened my phone and voided it....do you guys think that they will accept it?? i got my 8525 from ebay
to ahfunaki:
Can you write all procedure step by step, because I don’t live in USA but I have couple friends in USA with ATT account? I can ask for help but their don’t realize how to do it, because I was send my device couple weeks ago but in ATT local store refuse to help because of ebay purchase. A can call to ATT via skype and organize everything.
Sorry for my poor English.
Hi! I looking for somone trusted who can repair my Leo (v. T-Mobile USA). Phone died after flashing new rom with incorect radio. Will be great if I could do it in Liverpool or Manchester. Please.
you could always send it to htc, , , ,all tmous are still within teh 1 year manufacturers warranty. Dont mention flashing, and it'l be fine.
Thanks for answer. I called HTC already, but one nice lady checked the IMEI said that they have reported that the phone had something done with the software a few months ago and the phone is no longer a guarantee. I bought it from other person a week ago and have no contact with that person anymore.
ahh lol, so someone was stupid enough to try sending it back without removing hspl, , d'oh!
Good luck huntiung down someone with a JTAG box and the skills to dismantle it without damage. Get talking to freelance phone repair shops.
Thanks samsamuel ! Probably you have right. You are very helpful and experienced, you realy don't know anybody who could resolve my problem? Of course not for free.
heh, no sorry. I dont know anyone in the gadget biz. If I had a problem myself, and couldnt use warranty, i'd probably buy a riff jtag box and have a go myself, , but i wouldn't want to try it on someone elses phone, i hear the hd2 is sooo easy to break when dismantling.
Hello, i bought my Samsung Galaxy s2 "epic" only 4 months ago, and TWO months ago, it started to have a circle with a strike through it ("loss of signal" i guess?) and it has NEVER worked since. Not even restarting it. I have also done a factory reset, but nothing works. I have tried replacing it through my insurance but they are always out of stock conveniently and want to give me some crappy cheaper phone. I want the one i bought! HOW do i fix this?! I already know there has been a "fix" for Sprint users with this problem, but I am Tmobile, so I am not sure that helps me any. No repair shops seem to know a thing about how to fix this..I am at my wits end, I have tried for over 2 months now to resolve this, and I just don't know how! I am not a person who knows about the technicalities of phones, just know how to use them. I saw a post that originally lead me to this site that had a fix on it, but it was waaay too complicated to really understand; i am BEGGING anyone who knows how to fix this to just walk me through it?! i have tried SO hard, this has been a HUGE source of stress for me after all of this, and I cannot afford to spend 600$ to replace it!!

It looks like to me the phone has either been reported lost or stolen which means that the real owner has rung the provider up and asked them to black list the phone so if anyone try to use it they won't be able to.It might be a possibly that the the modem part of your mother board is faulty you might just want to replace and hope for the best:silly:

Given the two bits of your original post that I bolded above, I think you may be in the wrong forum... Also, are you are SURE your phone is also called "Epic" anything? The Sprint Galaxy SII model is called the "Epic 4G Touch". But not the T-mobile model.
Are you on T-mobile in the USA? Or Europe?
What is your phone's precise model number? It is printed on the label under the battery.

I do have a similar problem.
After a coupleof month usage my phone randomly has this circle described above. Usually switching it off an then on agein does work and I get the signal back.
By the way, I am on T-Mobile Europe and have a Dual-Number SIM card.
Does it have anything to do with this?
I used the SIM card for years in other phones without problems.
Hello. I have a AT&T galaxy note which is hard bricked. I cant find anybody that can fix it thus far. I live in the Miami Area and the Broward area. If anybody can lead me th where i can get it fixed in south florida or have the jtag program that can bring my device to life, im willing to pay $$$$ to get it fixed. Please reply ASAP. I am miserable without my note.... Thanks a Million!!!!:crying:
Do a general search for JTAG repair ...
You'll get plenty of hits for people doing the repair ....
Very sorry for the brick ....g
I have looked everywhere. I spent hours. can't seem to find anyone with the jtag services.
You mail it and it costs $50 and takes one week round trip.
How do u doa hard brick?
the usual method is to flash a rom or kernel for a different device to yours.

Its hard to find working main boards. Quickest way is to get it repaired by samsung service centers. But it will almost cost you as same as getting a second hand GS2. If you are willing to take a risk you can buy screen damaged phones on ebay and use its motherboard. Decision is up to you
i can't find any screen damaged phone on ebay or amazon

Then you should take your phone to samsung and ask for the price of a mb replacement
Nothing new .. still searching
and samsung agency on my country told me the board coasts 90% from the price of the phone as new
so , i should end my searching or there's any hope ?
You've already been told either eBay/Amazon for busted phone or Samsung/authorised repairer (who will charge you labour to install said MB; Samsung won't sell you one for obvious reasons, as you've found out)
What more are you expecting anyone here to tell you that you haven't already been told ? You were told those options because they're the options anyone who visits here in your situation would look at (I know I'd be looking for a 'donor'/broken phone first, then I'd be biting the bullet & either paying Samsung to fix it or get a new phone).
Posting here again in the hope this has somehow changed over the past week isn't going to make it so.
