Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

ok, i'll try to do it. but i have to ask if that will not work, can i save my phone by changing main board on warranty in service?
You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.
I've done my s3, s1 and the Mrs s2 without it going wrong so I'm not sure how it went wrong this time.

Your phone have got super brick, and the JIG nothing to do.... You must go to service.
The reason for this is stock kernel who has kode cause brick.

Ah that's a shame. Fingers crossed it's still under warranty or it's gonna be an expensive month.

well guys seems my sgs2 i9100 died on me.
I'm an experienced user so I know what I'm doing, but this time seems it died.
what happened.
flashed new LQ5 sammy rom via odin for a quick test drive, all went smooth and tested all I had to test.
then it was time to flash another rom via odin.
as always before flashing another rom, I boot into fake recovery using cwm 5.8.1.5 and erase all partitions, system,data & cache and then reeboot straight to download mode to reflash the other rom via odin.
well this time, after erasing partitions I reebooted but it just went dead.
I tried about everything, even booting with usb jig into download mode, but it just doesnt work. screen is always black no message no signal no nothing.
what can I try to before RMA this Sucker ?
edit: solved by repair center replacing PBA MAIN

Well nothing, there are only to things that can resurrect this paperweight for you, and my guess is that you have neither of them
1. Fix it using JTAG
2. Change the PCB
So send it off to a repair centre near you mate

I have good soldering skills but For jtag looks like there´s a box needed, and since its still under warranty I guess I'll try to RMA before opening and permanently void my warranty.
Sounds like you hit the eMMC brick. I know this sounds cruel but it gave me the heads up as I was about to flash the new LQ5 ROM. Might think twice about it. Don't mess about with it, just send it off for repair and play dumb.

I think it has to do with the fake recovery. once this LQ5 firmware as a new pit file different from the older gingerbread one. and the fake recovery might not be prepared to deal with the partitions the way this new pit repartitoned
If you stay off the recovery, the rom works flawlessly, its my bad habbit of formatting the partitions before flash that screwd me
its nice that I have a usb jig and the counter is zero that way they cannot acuse me of using non official firmware.
Can you explain to me what the “fake" recovery is? Do you mean custom recovery?

you can boot into stock recovery and from there boot into fake recovery without the need to having a custom recovery installed in your phone.
Interesting. You didn't have ClockworkMod Recovery then? Because ROM Manager and CWMR don't get on together. Just return your phone to Samsung and say the update failed in Kies. It's a 50/50 chance they will fix it. But it's worth a try.

i did the same thing when i had bricked by phone
i told them i was updating the phone in kies and after that my phone din start
What build did you die on? Saying "LQ5" is useless - with ICS you MUST include the FULL build identifier including region code when talking about a given build.
Well now I might be little more cautious, but I have wiped multiple times using the dial code and it worked fine.
Might be the touch recovery done something or you!
Have to be sure before everyone gets Bizzurk about the Emmc brick, which we didn't have until now.
Fix it by JTAG / univ on Samsung Centre

The LQ5 release the OP is talking about is the leaked Samsung release of 4.0.4 for the GS2. Leaked a few days ago by sammobile.com. Is there any way to tell if the MMC_CAP_ERASE is still present in Samsung's new kernel? Or that is is at least equal to 0?

Mobile Odin Pro
Just a heads up. I purchased and used Mobile Odin Pro from since the release and have always used that ever since to flash leaked or official samsung roms due to the fact the pc version bricked my i5800 years back. Happy to say, It never failed me, Also it has support for Wipe Data and Also Dalvik cache. Options to Enable Ever Root, Inject Super Su (Best), And Mobile Odin so your always ROOTED :good:. Gotta hand it to Chainfire for his awesome works. I would suggest for everyone to use it for a worry free Day anytime changing non custom recovery roms, also I have had problems using superuser in the past when trying to install CWMR. Never with Super SU Pro, That's why I use it. Before thinking this post is not useful, think about it, you would be able to wipe data before flashing with no need to worry and perform it via fake recovery or CWMR. Also Odin performs MD5 checksum at your request to ensure its official.
Ok, so I was about to install custom ROM to a unrooted SGS2 phone, I didn't have a computer so I decided to root my phone installing cwm.zip through stock recovery and then installing su and busybox via cwm. then I backed everything up, downloaded a custom ROM with a custom kernel and cwm touch recovery with it. I went to stock recovery again and installed cwm.zip to get to cwm recovery and first made a nandroid backup and then installed the custom ROM. It turned off while it was on aroma installer and now it doesn't go on. Is it bricked? is there anything I can do?

I can't get anywhere.. and I assume I can't do anything even if I get it plugged on a computer? if it doesn't go to Odin or stock recovery or no where at all what are my chances? bricked I guess. BTW will anyone at Samsung know that I tried flashing my phone if I take it to be fixed? I mean if it doesn't go on, don't they have to replace everything and they would never even know that i tried to flash it?

You soft-bricked it maybe...
Did you try booting up your phone pressing the POWER + HOME + VOL UP keys? If it boots into recovery, then just do a nandroid restore...
If you're just concerned with bringing the phone back to life... Boot up your phone pressing POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN keys. It will show you a green n' black menu, then press VOL UP. It will then show an Android robot with "downloading" written below. Now just connect it to your PC (I hope you already installed drivers for S2) and start ODIN. (Make sure KIES is off)
Use a .tar.md5 or .tar(or any other format) file(or files depending on your firmware) and put it in the respective box. Leave the tickboxes as they are and DO NOT use a .pit file AND DON'T TICK repartition.
Click start flash and your phone should boot up on the stock ROM again!
Just trying to help you!

where can I get a USB jig? I don't know if my motherboard is broken, it doesn't turn on at all, screen stays off what ever I press. and even if a put the charger in. in the evening I will have a computer and I can connect it to my PC but I assume that there is nothing I can do anyways because I can't just turn the phone on. I was trying to install a custom ROM with a temporary CWM recovery. didn't have cwm yet installed but I assumed it will be installed at the same time I install the rom because it included it. so if I have hard bricked my phone and I take it to be repaired, will they see I have tried to flash the phone? will it be fixed with guarantee?

Yes I'm sure I was installing a right ROM meant for my phone. The resurrection remix 3.0.9 for I9100. this is what I did exactly.
1. went to stock recovery
2. installed CWM.zip from external SD card.
3. Got into temporary CWM recovery and then made a nandroid backup with success.
4. tried to wipe data but got stuck and rebooted my phone. It was now stuck in the galaxy logo.
5. I went to stock recovery again to install CWM.zip and this time I straight installed the resurrection remix and I got into Aroma installer and everything went fine until on 50% the phone turned off and now doesn't go on.
P.S. I was still on Stock ROM and kernel and recovery when trying to do this. Was using a temporary CWM recovery to install a custom ROM and kernel. I had root access already.
P.S2 I put the charger in and it doesn't even show the battery icon, nothing. and yes the camera is getting hot. Is it a hard brick / dead brick or what ever you call it? if I take it to guarantee, will they fix it or will they be able to see that I damaged my phone myself? thanks

Step two would be a paid for JTAG repair
Step three would be a paid for service centre repair
And try to get out battery for about 1 hour

How the going with the phone ?
Was it on a 4.0.4 ROM? Did you check if it has a bad chip? ie. is susceptible to the emmc bug before flashing?
That could possibly be the cause, although I cant be sure now unless you have her stock rom/kernel details. And if it is, I'm sorry but AFAIK theres no solution to that yet.
Do try getting hold of a USB jig and trying your luck with that first, though.
Hope it works out :fingers-crossed:
Did you try to wipe ANYTHING on stock 4.0.4 kernel ? if you did, then you've been afected by the emmc brickbug and there's no other way to fix it other than replacing the entire motherboard.
Did you try to put your device in download mode (pressing the power button, home button and volume down key) ? If you can get into it, flash a stock rom and problem solved.
Can you enter recovery mode ?
Next time you try to get cwm, just flash siyah and you'll get the whole package (permanent cwm + root + plenty of features) and only after that try to wipe and install custom roms
@Poroto

Hello,
I am just new to the Samsung Galaxy S2, and when I followed every step into rooting my phone, I went bad. This is what I did;
I came from ICS 4.0.4 update
installed a root patch + cwm which is called "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5".
Followed the steps to install the rom "[ROM][JB 4.1.1][AOKP/CM10] ReVolt JB [Ver. 2.5][03/10][AROMA+OTA]"
When the rom installed, it stayed on 0 % for 2 minutes, then the whole phone turned off and I can't do anything(Can't even turn it on!)
Frankly, I never read about the eMMc bug, Since I don't use Samsung device's that much. I just followed the rules and now I guess I am screwed.
Now my question is, is my phone eMMc hard bricked? What to do now?
Thanks in advance,
-Armazia
Edit: When I keep the battery in my phone, the upper right stays warm(Seen from the back of the phone).
Don't panic.. coz it'll make u worse to run next step to fix...
Try to pull batt for about 3 mnts. Put it in & try to turn on.. if it cant turn on try to recharge, see if there's charging animation mean ur phone is ok or only softbricked.
If it's turn on then turn it off again then try to enter cwm by pressing power+home+vol up together at a time- release pow button while bootlogo appears.

CFroot i believe is affected by the eMMC super brick bug, so if you did a wipe with the cf root kernel most likely you've hardbricked your phone

I have whiped, since it was the advice of the rom developer. But still I didn't know about the eMMc bug. =/
Bad luck dude. The ROM devs take it for granted you've read the warning since its a sticky in the general section. If its under warranty you could still get it replaced for free if you can cook up a good enough story. Since the motherboard is dead there's no way they can find out you've rooted.

Bad luck dude. The ROM devs take it for granted you've read the warning since its a sticky in the general section. If its under warranty you could still get it replaced for free if you can cook up a good enough story. Since the motherboard is dead there's no way they can find out you've rooted.

If I do want to make up a story, Do they know I flashed a rom(cause I have flashed a complete rom before this rom, which just had a bootloop)?, and can they see I've tried to root the phone?

If the motherboard is dead theres no way they can know if anything has been done with it. Rooting, number of ROMs flashed, etc. Nothing. Somebody I know with the same issue said he'd kept the phone to charge overnight and it was dead in the morning worked. Had a replacement phone in under a week.try your luck.

I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Hello guys!
My problem is that I wanted to root my freind's I9100, but something went totally wrong...
Now my problem is that the bootloader doesn't seem to work... I hold the power button, the screen lights up, nothing happens for 1-2 minutes, it crashes and it all begins again.
The only thing that is working (I think) is the Download mode...
I tried to flash VillainROM v1.1 (I read that it would solve the problem somewhere), but it didn't work...
Also with that ROM I can get to the recovery, but unfortunately it can't find the storage (Of course I have a backup on there...)
I'm really worried right now, because it's not mine...
Please help me! :crying:
If you can get into Download mode, then flash a stock rom and see if that fixes your problem.
Stock rom 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 without the emmc brick bug

Didn't work for me... Any other ideas?
EDIT: I waited some minutes and now it says "KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE" any ideas?
EDIT2: I've done a lot of research now and it seems like I have an emmc-brick which can only be fixed by re-partitioning... does anyone know where I can get the PIT file and if that would fix it? THANKS
what method did u use to root??
I didn't root it, i installed CWM recovery, wiped system, and then when i tried to wipe data it crashed...

I don't think that this makes a difference, root basically is just some modified system files, isn't it?
and with a new rom the old system partition gets wiped completely
I dont think its super bricked if u can power on the device. try to get into download mode and flash a stock rom. If you have warranty you better take your phone to samsung repair centre

That's what I tried about 15 times...
Only the rom, with bootloader, with all 4 parts, with pit, only pit, only kernel, pit & all 4 parts, nothing seems to work...
when I try all 4 parts it's stuck at DATAFS (or something like that)
& when I flashed VillianROM v1.1 it gets me into recovery, but it always says that it can't find E:\*
Please help me & thanks for you who tries / tried to help me...

Give the phone to a repair centre if you dont know what you are doing
you didnt partition the phone via odin did you, i remember i bricked it at datafs, my antivirus and kies was scanning its process so i reflashed.

Actually i know what I'm doing...
It looks like it's hardbricked because of a so called "brick bug" on the newest android version for the S2/Note

No it cant be. If you can power on your device its not super bricked..If it was super bricked your phone would be just a piece of plastic that gets heat up near the camera area. you should have just flashed a safe kernel like siyah using odin. Its perfectly safe. you must have ticked the repartition on Odin
Your data partition is corrupted. And only flashing a .pit file would save your phone. If it doesnt, i think samsung is the only way...

You might give some more info on what all you did or what file you were trying to flash....
Sounds like the problem of Gingerbread root on ICS system, or vice-versa. Just redo your work, ensuring you use the appropriate file for your system.
By the way, NEVER tweak your system until you learn to move important stuff to your external sd card or pc.
Boot into clockwork mod. Do factory wipe, wipe dalvik/cache. Should fix it.

Its the best advice that's why it deserves an echo!

Really? I think the best advice was rangercaptain's advice followed by crixley. OP was using odin which means he was trying to install a rooted kernel most likely from a different android version or he was installing CWM. So I highly doubt he has CWM installed and functioning. So how is he going to boot into CWM??
Well I guess I thought he followed the proper instructions and installed cwm first. I admittedly skimmed most of the posts.

I screwed mine up by not wiping after installing the new Cyanogenmod. The thing is, I can't get it to boot into clockwork mod recovery mode any more. Volume up + home + power is not doing it. Have I bricked it?

Its volume up + volume down + power hold those.

I have to chime in here...I have bricked mine, too, started with 4.0.1...I installed cwm-LATEST touch-i717, followed by openrecovery-twrp-2.2-sgh-i717-signed, ran fine. Then I was going to use Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-d2att.zip, but used the wrong gapps (Google Apps) file, gapps-jb-20120726-signed, instead of Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-gapps. Now, I have a black screen, and on my Mac, the thing just connects and reconnects all by itself! Can I get out of this, if I can't get to a restore screen?

You were going to flash the wrong Rom anyways d2att is s3. Would have bricked you right there if you flashed it. If you can't get to download mode or recovery you will most likely need jtag

Is that something one can do themselves? What is JTAG?

A JTAG is a recovery service offered for bricked phones. You can find one for your device at mobiletechvideos.com for 50$. Just Google android JTAG service. It will come up. Hit thanks

There has to be another answer...
When you find it, come back here and share it with us.
JTAG service costs $50, takes a week, and restores a phone that cannot enter recovery, or download mode, or isn't recognised by a computer.

Just to chime in here... I just got my AT&T Note back from MobileTechVideo. I had them do a JTAG repair ($50) and ordered a new jig. They replied with fast, reliable service. I highly recommend them if you decide to send your phone out for repair.

Thanks, but I found someone a little more personal...when I approached them, they simply recommended that I send it to them, rather than try some basic troubleshooting... Maybe just the way they do things...lots of volume with MobileTechVideo...
