Hi
I installed the MIUI rom on my S2,and to cut a long story short i decided to change to another rom, due to the camcorder not working and the phone getting very hot.
I thought i would follow this guide theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-android-2-3-2-on-samsung-galaxy-s-leaked-rom
I thought it looked nice an easy.
I followed the guide to the letter,and now my phone is dead.
It doesn't matter what button combo i try the phone wont switch on at all it is completely dead,the 3 button press,vol. down + Home + Power.
Volume UP or Down + power,the power button by itself,nothing will bring it back to life.
The battery at the time had 98% charge in it when it died.
The phone wont even show on the pc,nor will it charge through the pc or wall charger.
Is there anything i can do? Or is the phone dead?
I eagerly await your replies.

You may need a jig to kick it into download mode.

Will that actually work mate?
George
This is because you have installed a Galaxy S ROM on a Galaxy SII. How you did not realize this is beyond me. Anyway, the only thing you can do is to order a USB Jig and see if that will put it into download mode. Otherwise, your phone is dead.
EDIT: To answer your question "Will that actually work", I don't think we can say for sure. I give it a 40% chance of working.

I never even noticed that mate until you pointed it out.....oh dearI guess that's what happens when your old
If a jig won't work will a samsung service centre get it working?
George
Well samsung service center will get it working since they have all the necessary tools to jtag it. You could make one too if you are well versed with hardware, just search it up. Anyways samsung service center might find out about the custom roms on your device so you will have to pay to get it repaired.
Yeah i know mate, I'm not bothered about paying for service center repair.
Anyone know how much Samsung take for JTagging a phone?(Is that the correct term?)
I will try the USB jig method first,I'll order one from the bay.
Many thanks for your help guys.
George
Right guys i had a look on ebay for the USB jig,and one guy says this in the item description:
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not
display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo
when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you."
Does that mean the jig wont work for my problem?
George
You shouldn't be installing a Galaxy S 1 rom on your SGS2..
doubt the "rom" flash killed it , what killed it probably was flashing the i9000 pit file.. meaning the jig wont help u at all, you need a jtag now.. build your own (hard) or Samsung service centre.
Yeah i know that now mate....It's an expensive painful lesson.It wont happen again.
George
Any guides on how to jtag bud,is it easy
Worst case scenario is the service center...Do you know how much samsung charge for this,is it very expensive?
Much obliged.

uhm i have no idea, ive only ever seen videos of the jtag, have no idea how you would even begin to build one... its like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs
Honestly!! id call samsung and pretend that i was updating my fw through kies and that happened, if you actually admit you were messing around in odin they will likely void your warranty and charge you.. Before anything else, call samsung first id say. much easier method than the jtag stuff.
I'm not the original owner of the phone mate,so a claim on warranty is out the window.
I don't mind paying for the service,after seeing how hard the Jtag thing is
I actually found that video that you linked too,after watching it i would say it's not a DIY job,not for me anyway.
The company in the video offers a JTag service for 75 bucks,just under £50,have you or anyone else heard of them before,would anyone recommend them,are they reliable,i would be grateful if anyone could advise me on using this service.
Cheers

hmm, nah ive never really heard of them, id say just try to google the company and see if they are any good... the comments on the video seem pretty happy..\ then again, comments are just comments. Wonder how much Samsung would charge for the repair (seeing as you said you cant claim warranty, maybe they can repair for you) as it would be better than trusting some random third party.

Yes mate i know what you mean about third party repairers,I've had good experiences with most of them luckily.
I'm a bit dubious of sending the phone to the US (I'm in the UK) it's a long way.
I tried phoning the 2 service centers near me,but both are closedI'll contact them tomorrow,hopefully it wont be too expensive.
Much obliged for everyones help,i appreciate it guys.

hi there i had the same problem i flashed i9100 with i9000 pit and i got hard brick like you. I call to the service center and it would come about 100€. Then i found for mobiletechguy.com i send them the phone about ten days ago and in about 2 days ago i got their email that is completed and that they send the phone back to me, will see in about 2 or 3 days when i got it back.

Okay so I just got my new phone
And I noticed it was version 2.3.4
So I read about how to upgrade it to 2.3.6
so I did it with odin and when I started to process
it just froze and I unplugged my phone and turned it off
Then I tried to get it on again but that would not happen?
I also tried to get in download mode again that wont work either
Also when I plug my usb into the phone my computer wont regonize it
Is my phone dead now????
I just had it like for 1 day....
Please help me
remove the battery for a minute, but it back in and press vol down+home key+ power button... maybe it will work this way.
where did it freeze in odin?
did you had your drivers installed correctly?

My driver were installed correctly, before all the problems it would just show up on KIES
And im not really sure were it started to fail in Odin but it looked like odin stopped working and just froze so that's why I removed to usb and turned it off.
And I just tried to get in download mode again but no luck..
Keep trying to get into DL mode; remove battery - put it back in, hold home/vol down/power. Try a jig as well, if you can't get one easily there's a thread in General where people have offered to lend their jigs to other people, there might be someone near you with one.
If you can't get into DL mode & there's no other signs of life from the phone, it's a service centre job. If that happens, play dumb. Say as little as possible. You never know, you might blag it for warranty service/replacement (This is never guaranteed tho given you borked it & they're quite within their rights to charge you).

its one day old
Oh yeah, of course it can be repaired In similar cases it's often a motherboard replacement. How much that costs will depend on how much labour/parts cost in your part of the world.

Just got motherboard replaced
Hi,
I just got my motherboard replaced.My phone was out of warranty though.
But your is,
My phone was rooted,but service centre wont be able or try to detect that ,new motherboard replace everything even ur IMEI. So just go to service centre and dont tell them the reason that you tried odin.
first thing,never ever try to remove usb if ODIN frozes.it will brick ur phone.wait for long like 20-30 min for expensive phone.have a coffee in between.
They took 9000 INR which is now 155 usd. Dont worry they will replace it if you dont tell the correct reason and you sud have invoice.
Try volume up_home+power button.

I was al new to odin etc
I never thought it would kill my phone
The reason I was trying to update was because my wifi signal was very weak
and with the 2.3.6 update that would have been fixed...
But ill go to the service center and tell them a other story
There are never any guarantees with this. You take the phone in, keep the story simple & you cross your fingers. There have been cases like this where people here have been told 100% guaranteed by people on here they'd get their phone repaired for nothing & they haven't.
If you expect Samsung to fix your phone/the thought of not having a warranty scares you, you don't mess with it in the first place.

Okay thanks,
When I charge me dead phone it does get really hot!
idk if that's still a sign of life...
Thankyou Captain Obvious.
I'm pretty sure I said in my first post (I did) that it would likely be a service centre job.
And what I also said was you're never 100% every single time guaranteed to get it repaired/replaced for nix if you've messed with it (as the OP has). For some reason, you failed to get that bit. Comprehension not a strong point, eh ?
OP - Phone heating up at back near the top/camera - dead. Sooner you send it in/get it fixed the sooner you'll be able to use your phone again.

Im just going te ask my money back because this phone had a lot of issues
like extremely weak wifi signal, shutting down randomly
and sometimes the touch screen would not react
I ordered my gs2 from Singapore so im going to buy a new one in my country
Hi
I recently bought a broken Galaxy S2 with a non-working display/screen off a swiss auction portal (smiliar to eBay) for very little money.
The seller stated that the display broke after he dropped it, the rest of the phone should be fine. Effectively, only the LCD is broken, the glass is intact, but the screen doesn't show anything when I try to turn on the phone.
The first few times I tried to turn on the phone, nothing happened, no boot sound or touch buttons glowing. After trying several combinations of pressing buttons (hard reset, soft reset, download mode, recovery etc.) I heard the boot sound and saw the buttons glowing, but only once and I dont know how I exactly managed it to start. But, nevertheless, I can't really see what the phone is doing, if it is booting, if its in download mode, etc.
Does anyone have an idea, what I can/should do to make sure, the phone itself is working and its only the display which is broken? I just don't want to spend over $100 for a new display, if im not sure if the rest works...any suggestions?
Thanks very much for your help guys!
Greetings from Switzerland!

How can anyone answer if the phone is going to be worth the cost of a new screen.It could be water damaged or blacklisted,or faulty.
Did you not foresee these things.What did you expect to happen.You must have trusted the seller,but all of a sudden you have doubts.Why didnt the seller replace the screen.
You probably think youve scored,when in fact it could work out more expensive than buying a working phone.

First of all, the mentioned auction platform is very small and not quite comparable to eBay, maybe it was my fault to make the comparison to eBay. Its much smaller, only people from Switzerland and people much trustworthier than on eBay. I talked to the seller even before I commited my bid on the phone, and he told me he already bought another one and the place, where he first wanted to repair it, told him, it would be more than $200, which wasnt an option for him...
The phone was very cheap, only about $25 - due to the fact that the sellar put it in a wrong category (mobile accessoires but not mobile devices itself) so almost nobody beside me bidded for the auction. There are several other Galaxy S2s with broken displays for sale, which sell at least for $50-70, rather between $100-150.
So to put it straight: I just bid for the phone because its cheap and, if the display is replaced and the phone is fully working again, the potential selling price is much higher than what I payed for the phone and the display together.
Now, I was just wondering, if there is a possibility to tell, if the phone boots normally and to be sure that the display is the only faulty part...
If you know what network it's on, and you can find a way to get it switched on, you can put a compatible sim card into it and call it....if the phone rings (provided the volume is set right) you can assume it's good.........
That is.....assuming there's charge in the battery.......

Ok I see now.
All you need to do then is to relist the phone on that auction site you said....in the proper area/listing....and you could make a profit without risk.
You could put it in dl mode and see if it is ready to take a flash.Or see if someone could hook up a screen to test,or see if you can borrow one/get sale or return.
And people on here help with tech problems,not get rich quick schemes......LOL

Actually I could have bought the phone and relisted it in the proper category, you are right on that BUT I acually don't have any interest in making money with this phone, if it is fully working again, I probably will give it to my GF cause her crappy iFone will probalby be moving to the bin soon... You really probably missunderstood me in this case...
But thanks for you help! I'll see this evening if I can put it in download mode...

Thats also a good idea BUT afaik you need to enter a PIN code before the phone actually connects to the carrier/provider, isn't that correct?
Not necessarily......unless the phone has been set up that way post purchase.....as I said, you need to know what carrier the phone was with before, and simply go and get a sim card (pay as you go) for that carrier and put it in the phone....job done.
It's not necessary to enter a pin code here in the UK.....I don't know how the mobile operators operare with respect to that in Switzerland though......

How about if you cant "borrow' a screen,just buy one off eBay from a seller that takes it back with a small restocking fee.
Then hook it up(without fixing it permanently) and see if any problems me/keith mentioned.

Okay, i managed to connect the phone to my computer and it shows up in KIES! *yay*
Unfortunately, KIES shows: "The connected device is locked..."
But, as far as this looks like, the phone is working! Am I right on this?
I dont know much about kies as I dont use it.Maybe its not an unbranded phone and youve put in a different sim its not used to.
Unless someone has a better idea,I think buying the screen under the conditions I said earlier is the way to go.It may only lose you £15 at the worst.
Check the online imei checket first though to see if it throws amything up.

I haven't put in a SIM at all, as it is not neccesary to be able to use the phone.
I will buy a screen anyway, if I can't use it myself, I will give it to a frend who has also got a smashed S2.
Another question: Is it possible to hard reset the phone, without a working screen? Afaik you have to boot into recovery and select the reset from a menu, which is not really possible without having a working display... Any suggestions?
Thanks!

That in itself could cause you issues. You have to get the number of and order of presses exactly right otherwise you could end up formatting the system partition (os)
Aaaaand.....you don't know whether you're running 4.0.4 in which case, doing a wipe *may* permanently kill your phone (search emmc brickbug for the why/how)......
Realistically the only option is to obtain a screen......have you thought of taking the phone to an unofficial repairer, explaining the situation and asking for the temporary instore use of a screen? (You could even offer to pay a small fee.....just as a sweetener)

PS: Any recommendable, FAST rom without too much bloatware?
Cheerio!
Lol....not gonna recommend a specific ROM as that's against XDAs rules......but if you want the stability of stock without the bloat, try one of the hybrid ROMs. Look for "samsung based" in the ROM sticky thread.....or do what I've done. ....stay with your stock firmware, but root it and debloat it.......

I'd be very surprised if they fix it by 'flashing it with new software', normally in these instances you'd be looking at a motherboard replacement. They may be referring to a JTAG, and your phone might be one of the lucky instances where that's possible.
Either way, if you didn't back your data up, you won't be recovering it.

thanks for the reply, well dont know what are they reffering to but they are saying phone will be fine but they cant save the data
is there any best or paid recovery software from which i can get back the data, its even very scary because that backup software will also show very old unwanted data too
Nope. The only very rough chance you may have is to contact a company who specialises in recovery of data from dead hard drives (Google search). Very unlikely to be able to help & will be very expensive if they are able to.

i have tried to go these places but useless.. they only know how to replace the motherboard , they won't help us to deal with the back up issue
You can't solve that issue. It's not possible. The only people who might be able to (and this is probably a 1 in 1000 chance) is a company who specialises in data recovery from dead hard drives, and even that is very unlikely.
do others have methods to help me??
No.
i want to know what 's wrong with my phone....:crying:
when i try to turn on, i feel that the phone is still a bit warm... it's working right??
Something on the motherboard has crapped itself. No, the opposite. Having the phone warm up near the camera is symptomatic of every single case like this we see/have seen on here in 2.5 yrs. You're not fixing it yourself unless you replace the motherboard yourself, and you're not recovering your data regardless of what you or anyone else does.
Now, you can sit here for 4 days, a week, two weeks, a month in denial & maybe have people tell you to try things that might build your hopes up but have absolutely no chance of working, or you can bite the bullet & have the phone repaired or buy a new phone.
The choice is yours.

Take your phone to local mobile repair shop ... asks for checking short circuit for battery , and Two power IC's .. one located near camera and other lower Right..
ask him to check if something is wrong on both these..
if it does... asks for POWER IC replacement or Motherboard replacement..
If at last nothing works and you are finally going to replace your motherboard anyway
do this thing or ask a technician to do this.. may be it'll work:
