That isnt "unbricking" because his device is not "bricked".
This is starting to get absolutely ridiculous now the amount of people who are using bricked term faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar to loosely.

Your device is not "bricked", you just screwed system partition up. Just go into download mode and re-flash a stock rom or custom kernel via ODIN.
If you had bothered to use search button or browse forum for a few seconds you would already know this.

Oye oye ..... no begging knowledge is our birth right
JIG is basically a device which goes into your phone's MHL port (the port where you connect your USB cable) has a 103 Ohm (or KOhm don remember exactly) resister which sort of jump starts your otherwise dead phone into the download mode and resets your custom binary counter to 0.
Go to ebay if you are a n00b with electronics as well buy one from your region.
else go to you tube there are a billion videos on how to make one.
hope it helped

USB jig. Can be purchased off places like amazon or ebay. You could also contact someone close to you if a location near you is listed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495867

thank u guys for the info, now i'm waiting for my usb jig, let see if its working.
or just flash a normal 2.3.x Kernel and then boot into recovery, clean your **** up, and flash a Rom that u like , didn't got any problems with it. U don't need a USB-Jig.

Google Service Framework keeps crashing
Did you get it to work? I can't downgrade my phone from 4.0.3 to any 2.3.x firmware. Flashing works fine and the phone starts up nicely, but once it enters the setup mode ("Welcome to GT-I9100" where you press the android for setup) for 2.3.x the Google Service Framework och application Software update keeps crashing and I can't proceed.
Any ideas?

Bricked with odin re-partition

Guys. I am in deep trouble. I was trying to help a friend and its bricked now.
I was flashing CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 with omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit and unfortunately re-partition was ticked automatically. After the flashing was passed the phone was removed. Now it doesnt turn on or anything. Its dead!
Please somebody gives me a fix please!!
u sure u got i9100g ? and reparation must be flashed with stock roms ....
ur phone give no light ? ....
Err...we have no cf-root available here...if you are really using a I9100G, then you flashed the wrong kernel....can you enter download mode? If not, do you have a usb jig?
if u got a i9100g use my GUIDE i mean this

-Remove the battery and connect your i9100g with a USB cable !
- Manual Load Driver for OMAP4430 From usb_drv_windows folder (included in download content )
- if the device keep reconnecting automatically... then it's okey it's not a problem !
- If everything is okey then run omap4430hs_espresso_Inter i9100g.bat

If the Jig fails, you'd need to JTAG your phone.

Kies doesn't even know what root is.

lol, if u install a stock Firmware on ur Rooted device it will automatically 'Unroot' ur phone, so u can update ( if any available) ur phone as usual
Rule N° 1: Never get a Galaxy Ace.
Rule N° 2: If you can't update, flash.
