I messed up while flashing via mobile odin - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have messed up really bad and I dont know what to do, here is what happend
I was using cyanogenmod 10 for the past 2 months and now wanted to sell my I9100G, so i decided to revert it back to stock ICS, i didnt have an nedroid back and also lost the usb cable provided with the device
I tried odin by connecting my phone using a normal usb cable to the PC but odin wont work as expected
I then tried installing mobile odin pro and selected the option to Wipe data, Wide Delvik Cache and also Flash Firmware which rebooted the device(it said it will reboot in download mode)
After that I am stuck on the initial Samsung logo that comes before the Cyanogen logo and the phone wont boot into either Recovery mode or Download mode.
I am confused and scared, can someone help please?

Use a USB JIG to get into download mode, connect ODIN and flash Stock ROM

---

do you mean that I have bricked my phone :crying:, if so then I have to find a mobile shop as usb jigs are not a common thing in this part of the world

Theres a thread that shows peoples location that can give you a shot of a jig if you need it in a hurry.

if you cant help then being a sarcastic moron is no good to me and I didnt as for a place or person to give me USB Jig so please read the comment carefully before passing a stupid comment

Hey,maybe a jig costs a months wages where you come from.
Maybe just "jog on" and find one and I really,really hope your phone isnt bricked.

The title of the thread says it all - "I messed up". Your report of what happened in your first post is so vague it's almost a joke. People are suggesting you get a jig because nobody who has read this thread actually has the first idea what you've done. Maybe a jig will help, maybe it won't, hopefully it won't and people like you who use XDA as their own personal answer machine because they're too lazy to spend 10 minutes researching ways to fix their will no longer be a problem on this site.
There actually is a thread somewhere with people who have jigs willing to lend them to other people in the vacinity but with your attitude the only thing anyone is going to want to lend you is a middle finger and a slammed door.
Honestly I don't care about anyones bricked phone on this forum but at least if you give a good explanation of what happened and reply nicely I'll try and help. People who write stupid posts I make fun of but people who insult other members because they gave an answer they don't like, I hope your phone is bricked.

dont jump to conclusions without using your brains mate, first off I did research and almost every method advised me to use ODIN, but I was already on cyanogen and It does not let your phone get recognized via USB so it was not working, I tried recovery method but it was not working as well so after reading I used Mobile oden which caused the issue.
I cannot possibly go through over 300 pages of most of the topics in order to get to my specific problem and it WAS specific.
As for the insult I DID NOT insult the member first, my only question in the second post was whether my phone was bricked or not and the rest was just my thoughts not a question so he had no right to insult me.
I feel really bad for a forum when its Senior members leave stupid comments like " I hope your phone is bricked " rather then trying to help desperate noobs

Since you're phone does boot atleast we can confirm that it's a soft brick, and since you can't access download mode or recovery by the normal method you have no other choice than to force download mode via usb jig, I am sorry mate but you have no other choice than this or the service center, also there are several excellent guides on making a usb jig its quite easy and if you're scared to do it ask your nearest electronic shop, and if you make it to the download mode just be calm and flash it with a stock rom, if any boot loop occurs perform a wipe and factory reset from the recovery, and don't worry about bricking your phone but be very careful about flashing via odin, use a perfectly good cable which I am sure you can find, a faulty cable during flashing will give you a hard brick and only a motherboard replacement will be your option which is quite expensive. Good luck and hope you recover from your disaster. :thumbup:
And please be careful to get firmware specific to I9100G, as this is I9100 international version forum. Also are you sure that you used I9100G firmware as this problem occurs for people flashing the wrong firmware.

I think, he thought, you were being sarcastic when you suggested him to search for a forum for locating people with usb jigs, it's a noobs misunderstanding, and after all being senior members we should tell him it's a misunderstanding and make him feel sorry for his mistake, instead of cursing and agitating him more, you know people get desperate when they screw up some expensive piece of equipment, but still the OP jumping to conclusions was very wrong.
