you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

well from what he said by his post did not make sense at all..hence why i asked for more details to explain so i could give him a better explanation and guide to fix his problem...but you seem to get what he said so by all means do your thing....but if he comes back with more detail then i will point him to the right direction on what he needs to do...at the end of the day the more opinions he has the better for him

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
Ok so my problem is that i eooted my wife galaxy ice without any problem, i downloaded rom manager and download nice custom rom, so at this time i lieft phone at home and go to work. At this time i didnt know that rom manager is not suporting ace device. MY WIFE KNOW a bit about rooting because she saw me rooting all of my androud device,so while a went to work she want to suprise me and she want to instal custom rom on her own so she went to rom manager and when rom manager ask her to confirm device name ahe couldnt find ace on the list, so for some stupid reazon she choose huwei phone and she flashed cwm. After that she go to instal rom from sd and she choose cynanogen ics rom,phone go to reboot but it never turn on again, i try go to download mode but it wont go to it, i remooved battery press three magic buttons and at the same time inserting battery qbut noting pc is not recognizing device. The only way for pc to recognize my phone is when i press volume up+home+power(like recovery mode) when i do this my pc is recognizing my wife ace and odin can see it also,but when i try to flash stock rom odin stock on "setupconnection" i closed all kies backgrounds but still same. I also try jig to boot in to download mode but it wont work.

Try if you can go to download mode again or recovery mode..
if not..
simply give it to the service center and tell them it simply stopped working when i woke up one fine morning...
most of the time bricking with rom manager is unrecoverable by users, only service center can repair it. i think i saw a guy claimed he recovered his bricked-by-rom-manager ace in a thread before but couldn't remember which thread it is.
try to search for the thread.

Probably have to change the whole motherboard, it's probably better to get a new phone at this stage. Another way (don't get your hopes up) is to use JTAG, that will probably work but if you dont know anyone with the equipment the pricing will actually be more expensive than the Ace itself.
Additionally, it would be wiser to state your actual problem on the thread title.

i bricked my phone while going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me .
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was gingerbread 2.3.3) and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery and connect your galaxy ace to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG Ace ( Yellow rectangle should appear);
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
step 7- if force close issue come-- boot into recovery mode by pressing middle button+power and then releasing power button (keeping middle button still pressed) wipe data wipe cache ..
reboot
If all goes well it should come back to life.
at last service centre is the only choice.. tell them u installed antivirus from market one night and other day u find it un-bootable

choice depends on you.... its that are u a good actor and can u convince
If I'm not wrong you can bring it back using a jtag box, 25 pounds could get yourself that.
But just repair it it's easier.
I think You go to service center tell them that your phone got switched off when You were talking on the phone and then it never started again and always act like Noobs in front of them.....
I hope you have warranty for your ace

I got the solution : For bricked ice........ Take an
Icepick.... .. Sorry, but this pass was too good....
I have come across such a situation and successfully have brought back my ace to life. (Disclaimer: I am not saying these are the steps to recover any bricked device, but this is a method i followed once when i bricked my device by following a wrong flashing method)
Just remove the battery and try to switch on normally without pressing any combination. It would not do anything but would drain remains completely.
Then do not put the battery back for a while (in my case i kept it for 5 mins)
Then again follow the same procedure without battery, just press the power button for 10 secs without pressing any other keys and see what happens. It should remain blank.
After that, try to connect the USB cable and then press power + v down + center key and see if it goes to download mode. If not, then put in the battery without removing the cable, then see if it automatically switches on to emergency recovery mode (It should).
Next when u see the emergency recovery screen, now try going to download mode by using the combination (power + vdown + center)
Please let me know if this works. ( I hope this should work)
service center
buy "USB Jig" so the phone will start in download mode and you can easily flash it with odin.

Here's the solution:
Step 1: Buy a baseball bat
Step 2: Get home
Step 3: Beat up yo wench with the bat and scream "You dumb *****! Make me a sandwich".

I've done same what your wife do before.. so i tried every thing but still cant unbrick..
Just send to servis centre if you still have warranty..

Like said here before, if you installed CWM on an unsafe Kernel (usually Stock Kernel present on 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 Stock Firmware) and after that wiped your data/cache etc. there is a good probability that you hard-bricked your device. Not even JTAG will help, if it`s the eMMC hardbrick.
Try to get into download mode and flash a Stock 4.0.3 Firmware and if you can`t then try a USB Jig to get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably hardbricked your device as described above
Read this on more info about eMMC superbrick:

I hope u Guys will teach me how to fix this situation.
I Used Odin 3 1.85 to install CMW. While the installation process taking place an error occur. and automatically shut down. show up an message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. try to connect kies...." after 10-15 mins showing this message
display gets black and stuck. i tried everything that is possible to me. press and holding power+VOL up+home together, leave it for charge etc.
but nothing works
COULD ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS SITUATION. :crying:
As said before, Try power + volume Down + home and flash a stock firmware through Odin
And is there still any life at all? What about when charging. Is there the charging animation?

I love comments like this. Well if you don`t read properly how and what to flash at what time to your device and just do as you think is right then you are going to end up with a hardbrick. That`s nobodies fault but yours. Why did you buy an Android phone in the first place if you can handle an IPhone better?

If you have an hardbrick and you can`t even get into download mode, what do you expect people to do? We are normal human beings here, there are no miracles here. If you have an hardbrick, you can try to repair it via Jtag or send it to a Samsung service center if you are still on warranty but if you complain about Android and how much it sucks you won`t be making many friends here, since this is an Android community.
Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.
Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.
Pls help guys

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Hi there:
I had bought the device in June 2011
I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.
Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.
Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.
I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.
Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2
Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Siddharth

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.
and post here

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
