Hi
I will try and list everything i can i suspect i will not be able to fix this but thought someone might have some insight as to how it happened.
Whats Wrong:
No signs of life, no boot screen, no recovery mode and no download mode. I have held down the reverent buttons for over a min and i get no response from the phone. Have checked its not just a flat battery, its been charging for 2 hours and same response whether plugged into charger or not.
What I was doing:
The Phone was the stock Rom that I had rooted (I use the orange signal boost app at home, and didn't want to lose it.) I decided to change the menu icons for my apps to a matching set and was using APK editor to do that. Knowing that messing with the signal boost app could mess it up I created a backup of the Rom using CWM before starting and then tried changing the icon and re-installing signal boost. It failed and the app would not run when I tried to re-install the original. So I booted into recovery mode and told CWM to recover from the backup i had created. I left the phone and when i came back it was blank and has been ever since.
Phone details
Orange Uk branded i9100p
running android 4.0.4 stock (rooted)
As I said I doubt this is an easy fix but if anyone can give me a hand i would be eternally grateful. Failing that is someone can shed some light on what went wrong so i can avoid it in the future that would be great to.
Thanks

is your phone in warranty ?
also does it show any display wen u plug it on charging
also wen u put it for chargin leave it from 30 to 60 mins and check if the area near the camera is getting hot , if its gettin hot then u have hard bricked ur phone
if ur phone is in warranty u can head to service center for replacement jus don tell them what u ver actually tryin to do
or if its not in warranty then u can try getting ur phone to ur nearest jtaq center

Hey there.
First post. I used Odin 3.1 to flash Froyo 2.2 on my Vibrant that was running Eclair 2.1, and Odin showed a successful completion. The phone then turned off and instead of re-booting, has become totally, utterly unresponsive.
I have tried a number of ways to get it to work, or at least get in to Download or Recovery mode, including the "remove everything, then re-insert battery while holding down volume up/down keys" and any number of key combinations. I've trowled the forum and haven't found a single solution for a completely unresponsive Vibrant. even the USB jig seems to be for those phones that at least show the Vibrant Logo or the "S" at start-up, while mine doesn't do anything.
The only encouraging thing has been posts by people who claim to have lefft their unresponsive Vibrants plugged in for several hours only to have them miraculously revive, but that seems like a long shot to me.
Have I managed to do the impossible and brick an unbrickable phone? I'd really appreciate help as I just got the phone last week and don't want to declare it a dead loss so soon.
Cheers!
Utterly, haha

thinking.. above was a joke...
What ODIN files did you flash? Link to them?
What version of ODIN, the latest?
When you say nothing... you mean you can't see anything on the phone, regardless of the action?
rofl OMG is that chick half naked hahaha seriously is she in her undies milking a cow WTF! LMFAO!
- so the phone won't turn on huh?...... no power at all?....... how about plug in the cord, do you see the batt charge?
haha utterly.. when you say put in the battery while holding the volume keys, did you put in the battery or plug in the USB??
I had to replace mine. Been good ever since.

Here's the long story. My phone was getting the 'device unrecognized' error in Kies and Kies Mini, so I used Odin 3.0 to flash it, using the "T959UVKA6_REV05_home_low_CL860813.tar.md5" file.
After flashing, my phone wouldgo into recovery mode and the following error.
"E:Cant mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed."
Next I followed the steps detailed in this post . When I flashed my phone according to the 'Gauranteed Solution', my phone turned off at the end of the flash and has stayed off ever since.
And when I say nothing, I mean nothing. No battery symbol, no sound, no Samsung Vibrant logo, nothing. Just a blank screen.
I tried plugging in the phone and then putting in the battery with the volume keys pressed and I also tried it without plugging in the USB. Either way, nothing happens.
As you can probably guess, I'm a n00b of the first order and I fear I might have killed my phone.
If you do manage to revive your phone back.. You better flash roms via cmw. Not that odin isn't great but cmw never caused any problems(to me).
Make a jig to force download mode then reflash stock os and install rom manager to flash roms. P.m for more Info.

Thats funny, the last post in the link you referenced is someone having the same problem as you........ why would you try to do that? and the .tar is some I9000 file being that the (fix) was in the I9000 forum. Neither of these probably have anything to do with your problem now i just thought it was funny. I mean why wouldn't you just use the T959UVJFD.tar in ODIN?
It seems that the "E:cant mount" error is a fairly common issue and from what i am seeing alot of the people having this issue after using samsung kies are getting replacements fairly easily although it is a last resort for many. I would not think its an issue with your drivers or anything like that, probably just ODIN being weird. Don't give up on ODIN i would assume that it will recognize the phone eventually as most "DEAD" vibrants do after time. I'll keep looking into it for you. Hope you find a fix soon. Good luck!
You can also restart the computer and f8 and turn off driver signing and see if that helps. Once again I don't mind helping on a more personal basis. P.m me.

Simple to remove yellow triangle: USB Jig
Second problem, try holding down Power + Vol Down + Home buttons together when the phone is off, until you see a verification popup saying if you want to continue to flashing a custom ROM. Then try reflashing your ROM or kernel.
well, in my country there is no USB jig unfortunately
second i got this problem in my second replay (look image)
there is no use when holding power+home+volume down or up
the same problem appear to me
thanks for your help
I doesn't matter if it's not in your country. Order one here:
http://usbjig.com/
Did you enable any of the checkboxes that were disabled when you started Odin?
Like "Repartition" or "Flash Bootloader" or any of those?
yes, all three was checked when i used PIT, PDA, PHONE, and CSC
There we are. The Galaxy S 2 does not need a pit file, you probably got a pit file for a Samsung Galaxy S.
<Warning information heard from other users>
In another big Android board is a discussion going on that flashing a pit file can fry the mainboard + battery as it will use wrong settings (the settings for the Galaxy S) and apply a too high voltage.
</Warning information heard from other users>
From my experience in that case even the jig does not work anymore (you could try it anyways) so you might either need to send it to Samsung or find somebody with a JTAG (won't help if the mainboard gets damaged).
@prodygee
i hope it doesnt take long time in delivery
ohh, dont tell me that the board is damaged
i didnt spent 24h yet!!!!

Nah, as I said, those are just reports from other users I couldn't verify (I'm not gonna flash a pit file just for the sake of testing!) so you should try the jig anyways, because it's not expensive and does the trick in many cases.
However if those user claims are correct not even a JTAG could help but let's just hope the best for the moment, there's no point in being scared beforehand.
I wish you luck and please tell us if the jig worked!
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and you don't have a jig it will be simple..
Flash Cf-Root
Flash stock kernel (cwm for cf root will remain)
Unzip the Cf root you falshed earlier until you get zImage and don't rename it
Open cwm
Choose flash kernel
Select the zImage you extracted and flash
After that there will be no yellow triangle after boot

my friend i cant go to download mode anymore
how much do you think it cost when the board is damage more than $200?
i will try warrant company, then try jig
I see.. Why don't you take it to damsung service center and make a story that you updated through kies then kies broke your device.. Atleast try the service center because it's free, but if all else fails you can try jtag

oh man, i just take it to warranty company, they told that they will try to update the software (i think it wont work) otherwise they will give a new one!!
Why are you flashing anything without not knowing what your doing?!

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G in dead condition when i connect to pc it ask OPAM4430 driver. and i have installed but i cannot active it to download mode even i cannot see anything on LCD screen.
any on please help me to flash this phone with any rom.
Regards.
First of all, what did you do first? What I can say is try do this when phone is off. Power, volume up and home button at same time. See if this works. If you get, try selecturing wipe and see if the full wipe solve the problem.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 8.9 using Tapatalk HD
A phone wont just die like that.If you did something to it then give some details althought it sounds like a kernel problem.The wipe idea is a good one,probably your best bet as you wont be able to use odin.Do a full wipe.
Boot to recovery (power+home+vol up)
Wipe cache partitiion,go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache (go back)
go to Mounts and Storage and format System,Cache,Data(go back)
Factory reset and reboot.If you get a bootloop then pull the battery,put it back in and reboot.
If you cant get to recovery or download you could try fussdownloader but im not sure if it works with the G model.Anyway the drivers can usually be found seperatelly and installed if you google for them but may or may noy not help.Worth a shot.
actually i got this phone from my friend and he say some one try to Nuke it i don't know how.and i cannot go to recovery mode by pressing volume down home key and power key also it not detecting on Odin
Regards.

Sounds to me like someone made a mistake trying to flash it and put the wrong firmware,or worse,the wrong kernel in Odin.Most people brick their i9100G phones with i9100 firmware.they are not compatable.The only thing I can suggest is try and find out if there is a RiffBox JTag service available for the G-series.It is for most other models.What it does is wipes and repairs the motherboard and bootloader.Ive had one done on an i9000 for 35 euros so its not an expensive job.Just need to find out if its available for your device.Ill leave a link below,Its an old one,but its a list of places world wide where they do it.If you dont see one close to you then use the page and google to search for one closer to your location.since this page was released the JTag has become more available in more areas.so you should find one close to you.good luck.

here are pinouts for @pmmali
how did you solder it??? its very tiny....
Lol.....VERY steady hand, a fine pointed soldering iron and a magnifying glass are all necessities.
Word of caution.....don't jtag if you want to send the phone to Samsung (under warranty).....they'll see that some "unofficial rework" has taken place and deny liability for warranty repair on that basis. ....

My surprise was that the phone doesnt even charge, when I plug it to the power, a battery that aparently is loading apears, for 2 segs, and then the screen turn off, and then the battery icon agains, and remains in a infinite loop but wont charge
Someone have this problem and knows how to repair it? I wish the problem isnt hardware :/

You will have to reflash a stock rom using ODIN. Don't worry because there are many guides over the internet. Guide: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/how-to-restore-the-stock-samsung-galaxy-s2-rom/
Make sure you download the rom for the correct version of phone!
Once you've flashed stock rom, make sure to factory reset and wipe cache partition. (note: don't do this if you are going to flash ics because this might hard brick your device)

Carefull gingerbread i warned myself :fingers-crossed::victory:
When I was at Junior High in 9th grade I broke my Samsung GT-S5300 due to improperly install of incorrect custom rom (lollipop) to my phone that's why the device can't read my sd card even the gallery is empty. I broke it on last 2017. And now 2022 I tried to repair it via odin because our school allow us to borrow a laptop (which is I don't have) then repair my phone there and boom! I got my Samsung GT-S5300 back again to normal. It's now 5 years old. I love that phone because it's so hard to break it. I remember I throw my phone and then it's still alive. Until now it's still alive (but the home key don't work) but I can still use it. My favorite phone is this samsung gt-s5300. I'm planning to buy the same phone like this but I can't find it in the market (because it's phased out or not available). By christmas I will buy Samsung GT-S5360 (even if I have much money I don't like luxurious phones).
