hello,
today i bricked my SGS2, i have read similar problems and realize the solution might be replacing my motherboard.
i still have waranty...
my question, if they change my motherboard, will the flash counter back to 0?
will the know if my phone was rooted?
i'm affraid of voiding my warranty :crying:
please help me.
Ok.....so there are several different levels of "brick" (CMIIW)......
Bootloop.....recovery and download modes are both accessible and wiping cache and dalvic will fix the problem....
Softbrick 1....recovery and download modes are accessible, wiping cache and dalvic doesn't solve things but reflashing the ROM in recovery does......
Softbrick 2....Only download mode accessible....flashing a firmware via odin fixes the problem.....
Hardbrick 1.....neither recovery or download modes are accessible, but you still get the battery charging symbol appearing when you plug in your charger....a jig *might* get you into download mode to flash a firmware, a jtag *might* also help......
Hardbrick 2 (aka...call in the undertaker).....no recovery, no download, no signs of life even if the charger is plugged in....jig and jtag will NOT help.....mainboard replacement by Samsung the only option......
On that list....where are you? And what were you doing to the phone to cause it?. Also, what firmware/ROM were you on before it went "pear shaped"?.......

Thanks for all that info!
I hope u don't mind if I quote all that in some other post when needed.
@OP:
If ur device is hard bricked totally, the people in the Service Centre would not be able to check ur binary counter! And so u can claim warranty.

i think i goes to number 4 ( no recovery, no download, no signs of life even if the charger is plugged in....jig and jtag will NOT help.....mainboard replacement by Samsung the only option......)
i haven't tried jig an jtag, but there's no sign of life even if the charger is plugged in (completely dead)
i was using stok firmwire ics 4.0.4, and the problem occurred after i restoring backup using cwm recovery
i feel embarrassed i didn't read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242 earlier.

What repair centre did you send your phone off to? I'm with Tesco sent it to them rather than Samsung.
Hoping for the same result as you.

Get I9100G stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin. If you have problems flashing with Odin, search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread in the General section & try the things in the thread, which should enable you to get a successful Odin flash.

I have the stock leaked jelly bean, Wanted to try a new mod of neatrom so I downloaded a recover mod from the website rootgalaxy s2 or so. Anyway, I am not under warranty, And my phone now doesn't detect SIM. I'm a total newbie and I don't even have an EFS back up. Is there any chance of getting back the calling or sim detection? It tells me Baseband undetected.
Do you have nandroid bk up? Do that will bring it bk.
Loads of threads on here that will solve your prob. Just need to have a look about.

Wifi and Bluetooth working, Mobile data needs a sim card which is not detectable.
The chances of you recovering it without a backup are close to zero (But not exactly zero). You'll be paying to have it fixed if you can't manage to fix it, but the worst that can happen if you try a bunch of things from here & they don't work is you'll still end up paying to have it fixed, so you might as well try them.

Can I go to a normal local technical service or I have to end up going to Samsung, will they fix this particular issue? Or they'll just ask for fees for a new motherboard.

True..
I had this issue the first time I updated to ICS via Kies. Didn't have an efs backup too!!
A trip to the service centre said my motherboard needed to be changed!
But I got back my IMEI when I reflashed the same firmware via Odin! Guess I was just lucky and that my efs folder was still intact...
Never trusted Kies ever since!

Problem was modding with another version of modems so it crashed.
What made me think it's not the efs was that the phone app crashes along with call setting and viber uses the music/sound speaker instead of the phone speakers, So I thought that it's a defect in the ROM.
Now, I can't find the stock toggle bar of jelly bean mods for me...
And I can't add a solved bracket, I will try again.

Hi,
Recently bought SGS2 from orange (UK) I9100p locked.
I want to root and unlock my phone. read so many threads but didnt find proper steps because mine is a new build version.
So I am little scared and this is my first time android flash! (before I used to flash symbian phones).
here is my phone details.
GT-I9100P
android: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100PBVLPB
kernel:3.0.15-I9100PBVLPC-CL-1020445
build number:IMM76D.BVLPC
I came across so many tools which can root this phone.. like Odin,unlockroot,cf-root.etc.. but
which is the best & safe tool to root and unlock this phone.?
any guidance greatly appreciated..
Am not an owner of I9100P, but I did look up ur problem.
AFAIK, you can use two methods:
1. Using Philz rooted kernel. In the first post of his thread, he has included a kernel for I9100P (BVLPC build).
2. Use Method 1 of the Universal Rooting Method, which doesn't involve flashing any kernels.

And I suggest you read both threads properly before you proceed, because that will avoid unnecessary confusion and errors. Also read through the first 10-20 posts also.
Good luck! :thumbup:

What you really mean is you want to sit back and let some mug tell you what to do and post links to save you the bother.
Your "new" model as you call it has had loads of posts about rooting, as I have read them.....so you can also.
Just read about philz or siyah kernel, and use which one caters for your phone, then see how to use recovery or odin to flash the same.
Start reading the q+a forum and see problems people have flashing stuff (I.e phone asking for sim/network lock) and hope you dont get the same.
Oh and welcome to forum......LOL

Erm......noticed you said you're running 4.0.4........do a forum search with the terms "brick bug" before you do ANYTHING else.....this may or may not affect you, but better to find out for sure before risking turning your phone into an expensive fancy paperweight.......

Thanks guys...
Thanks guys for the information.
Before i read your replies I tried with Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 kernel with Odin it got rooted successfully but was unable to unlock the phone!.
after rooting the phone boots up with yellow triangle. and I tried to unlock with "GalaxySim" and "galaxy_s_unlock" app, but both didnt work.
I even tried with root explorer and used hex editor to edit nv_data.bin file and replaced. still didn't work.
The links posted by @immortalneo has BVLPC build version of kernel.
So can I re root the kernel in this stage..?
what you guys suggest ?

You do not need to re-root if you are already rooted, right? Use Root Checker app from the Playstore to see if root was succesful.
If yes, use this app:

^ Thanks for suggesting, using "GalaxSim Unlock" unlocked the phone for just Rs 180 INR.
And now to get rid of the yellow triangle, flashing the stock firmware will do I guess!

U can flash stock firmware to do that.
Or since ur rooted, use 'Triangle Away' app to remove the yellow triangle and reset ur binary counter.

chainfires are the most famous one, try "GalaxySim" and "galaxy_s_unlock" but some of them wont work on new devices.
if nothing works then try GalaxSim Unlock by spocky, u may have to pay a small ammount
yellow triangle at boot up indicates you are using unofficial kernel. you should be worried only when u take u r phone to service center,
because they don't accept if they see yellow triangle!

Could be an issue with the carrier perhaps. Try contacting them.
If that doesnt work, try flashing a different modem.

I have left the following message when you turn on the phone after wanting to upgrade "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" (is the explanation that a friend gave me, the team is his, I thought I could give him a hand and he had had a similar situation on my Galaxy S2, which solved .)
As I have already downloaded firmware, full package proceeded to try to flash it with ODIN reaching it in the picture, then odin and not advance, usually gives error, but more than that I failed.
I can't see the pictures you posted but i'm pretty sure there's a couple of threads that can help you sort this one out.

The rom works, because just last night a Galaxy S2 i9100 unlock using the same firmware file to edit the nv_data.bin and it worked without problems, is version 2.3.6 ...

Reinstall kies and try another usb port cable and kill the anti virus while you at it.

I think Kies is not the problem because I tried on 3 different computers, and also tried on all ports of each computer.
How about the cable then?
Odin versions?

Is there a way to recover your bricked phone or it becomes a useless junk waste.
I too would love to know ...

Ok Carlos, how about siyah?
@OP:
Time to start over again. There must be something wrong in what you are doing.
Here is a checklist of stuff to try when Odin flash fails:

Please try each and all, and see if u can flash successfully.

I think the problem is not in the kernel, not yet tried the siyah but use those he had used earlier in my Smartphone ...

Ok so i had my phone rooted like 2 years ago (when everythign was striaght forward and i used my model number and odin and jsut did it) now there are all these super root one click herdmial wtf is going on programs. I just want to root my phone because i soft bricked it. I want ot be back on CM nightlies, and most of all i want to sim unlock.
Yes I know I am a noob but I have put in a solid 6 hours of searching, which is ****ing stupid because one forum member here is going to be able to link me the eact rom and kernal i need in 3 seconds.
My model number when i go to information is
4.1.2
I9100MUGMA5
JZO54K.I9100MUGMA5
when i take the battry out of the phone the FFC is like Alg3? I think if you need that I will reply asap.
TLR I am to stupid to use google, its been 6 hours and google is making me rage.
PPS I can upload a screen shot of my desktop right now with about 500 ****ing winzip files just to find the right one.

Ok so I flashed seriyah kernal. I failed to write "Complete(Write) operation failed." in odin and then it said to reccont to kies and because of osmehting blah blah but i just relfahsed and now it is working fine again (4.1.2). but the problem still persists of me not being able ot flash seriyah.
Killed kies applications before you flashed?
Sent from the little guy
I just can't understand why people ask for the exact file to flash, instead of trying to find out for themselves.
From what I see, its not that hard to find what ur looking for, unless ur too lazy to go through all the search results! And you can always double check with other members on whether ur doing stuff right or not.
If someone suggests you flash something, and you do it without knowing why or how, ur back to where u were before asking.
Believe me, the fun is all about learning what ur doing and why ur doing it. So after u have solved ur issue, u have not just helped ur device, u have helped urself too..
Just my 2 cents..

This link should help, it gives a step by step guide: http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-root/
Using search button "root sgs2 4.1.2" . U should watch for a kernel
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel
Word of advice....don't go offsite for rooting methods....other sites get their info here, and if not, it probably shouldn't be trusted anyway.
And for rooting....visit the PhilZ thread....search the thread for the kernel that matches your firmware and download the ZIP version. This can be flashed in the stock recovery....without Odin. ....
Not sure how? Search function will help......
