YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED INTO THE Q&A FORUM!!
Yes, you did broke your phone.
I think it will have to be sent back to Samsung, and you will probably have to pay for it to get a JTAG flash.
If you can get your phone into the Download mode (maybe with a download USB Jig), all will be well. But I think you have destroyed that...
Sorry, I don't think there is anything we can do...
You can't be serious?.......
Edit- OK you guys said what I wanted to say.

Ooooooooh i see.......
Only one thing can kill a phone : deplugging it when flashing....!!!
sorry, but nothing to do.
Your phone is dead...
Can you boot into recovery?
Why don't you try ordering a JIG on ebay ?
It should be working on a bricked SGS2
For more information:
www . ebay . com/itm/Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-II-Download-mode-USB-Dongle-Jig-/250935834611?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a6cf0f7f3
Are you sure you haven't completely broken it?
Take out battery, refit.
Volume down + power, does this take you to the warning before you go to the download screen?
Hanging on the galaxy s2 screen usually means that you can recover something.
Failing all of that, it's two days old, take it back and say it's faulty. I very much doubt the shop is going to suss you tried to flash a rom.
1) i can`t get to any menue , not recovery , not downloading menu .
2) phone will not powerUP
3)is not ready for trash it can be restored using a riff box jag , i need to find one here in romania . i got guy in usa who can flash my dead body android phone , but will cost me a lot .
tomorrow i will try to make home jig and see if he will wakeup if not , i will do my best to find a gsm service who owns a RiffBox to flash my phone !
thanks
Just a thought - if it not power up, make sure you leave it plugged in on CHARGE ! For a couple of hours.
Then use the Jig !
I cannot believe you unplugged it at FLASH - THAT'S RULE NUMBER ONE MY FRIEND. NEVER !
It seems as though you like to rush things, Take your time and Read first !
I hope you bring life back into it - good luck.
i did unplaged the usb cable because i wanted to take off the external hd , but i got the rong cable

Never ever unplug your phone during flashing.
Some people are just natural born Iphone material.
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't flash a pit file too. Maybe I read wrong.

Yes I thought he may have been a troll when I saw that too....
I do feel sorry for you as the disconnection during the flash appears to have been a genuine mistake, but PLEASE thoroughly understand what you are doing next time before you even attempt to flash your phone!
Good luck with the repairs.

Good Luck with a RiffBox, my friend had similar issue also, did a buubuu on similar procedure. Gave him my JTAG USB got it off ebay, that does not work. My other friend have a RiffBox and Riff JTAG Box, Both didnt work at all. So He just gave up, we went Sky Diving the other day, he just drop it, and BOOM Splatter to Pieces...now that Gorilla Glass is in pieces FINALLY.
I would just bring it back to Shop, and try returning it, unless you are saying Romania have a No Return Policy?!
Hi there!
First...sorry for my bad english:
My S2 was on Hydrogen-ics rom...a few minutes ago i decide to go back to stock. Factory Reset, Cache/Dalvik cache cleared, format /system...all done then I started Odin and choose PDA -> I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5 (its from samfirmware)
...everything was OK, then i reboot and flashed siyah kernel (v2.6) via Odin (PDA). Reboot again...everything was ok...
So I decided to go to checkrom. Reboot -> CWM -> Factory Reset ..and here something goes wrong..it stucked at wipe data or wipe cache (doesn't know exactly) after a few minutes I do a hard reset ...since then my S2 doesn't boot anymore. Galaxy S2 Logo appears with yellow triangle and that was it. CWM won't boot, too.
Download Mode still works, but when I try to reflash the stock rom from above it stucks at <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!! .
Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!

No, not yet. I've read that this is the last choice I will have. I have read that I should try to flash a 3-part Firmware (searching for one now .. :/ )
edit: another question...i've extract a boot.bin from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5"

Try to use another computer. Install kies on the new one ant try again wiht odin.

If you read my posts you will see that CWM was broken. And the actual situation is that my phone do nothing. Screen stays black..whatever I try (Jig, DL-Mode, Recovery-Boot, normal boot, connect to pc, connect to another pc with kies installed)
But thanks for help
Just called to amazon, send it to repaircenter and we will see... I've only said that my device won't start up/charge anymore
From what I've read, your mistake was doing the repartition ...
That's the one thing that if interrupted or somehow failed (you stopped it during the process) will trash your bootloader and therefore preventing the phone from entering download mode using either the keys combo or a JIG.
If you hadn't messed with repartition, I'd say you should try on a different USB port, different cable, different PC and eventually you'd be able to flash a kernel, a ROM, whatever, but never compromise the bootloader and thus still be able to enter download mode...
I forgot to say that there was something crazy after I flashed Siyah Kernel. While the "Galaxy S2-Logo" appeared the logo split into to parts...one side go to the left, the other to the right...it was very strange, after it has splitted there was green pixels all over the display...and they growed up..I mean first there was only one green pixel, and before I did a reset there were over 40 green pixels...
after reboot everything seems to be OK.
Don't know I do not know if it has something to do with my main problem.
Tomorrow my beloved S2 go to tech-center

dude u should remember one thing that while flashing with ODIN u should uninstall KIES from that compyter because it will try to interupt ODIN!!
At this point ODIN was still banned from my harddrive
But never had problems with the combination of both programms before.
edit: but...of course you are right.
Good news
It seems like that my device has been repaired by w-support and it is on its way back.
work that they had done (translate with google...sorry )
Work carried out:
Soldering, replacement of faulty components, software update
edit: Ok phone is here new case and camera (maybe one part?) Stock 2.3.6 is installed.. phew
That's good news idd.
Hi all,
This is my first post but I readed this forum since two months and it's awesome the level inside the forum!
I write this lines because I have a problem with a S3 of my sister-in-law. I summarize all what's happened:
- She was in one point of (Argentina, I don't know where exactly) and his SG3 stops running. She carry the smartphone to one shop. After hours she went to get his SG3 and the "technician" said I'm sorry I broke your phone, take 80€ to repair the screen of smartphone (she doesn't know anything about technology...) she took the money and she gave the SG3 to me to repair...
- When I startup the phone I seen an screen that show this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
-I tried to enter in recovery mode, without success... I tried to install stock firm and the only message that I see in Odin is:
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
-After hours searching I think that the NAND is in RO and can't install anything, I tried to follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 but in the first boot chain I get this message for lot of time and do anything more: <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!! .

What can more I do?

Flash stock rom via Odin .
Fails Nand then you need a new motherboard .
Hi Guys,
I have the following problem:
I have an Samsung Galaxy SII and have never flashed anything on it, just did Upgrades via KIES to 4.1.2 (I think). It´s not branded by a Telekom Company or anything. Just a stock Phone from Samsung.
A few days ago I used that phone, put it into my pocket and after 2 hours when I wanted to use it again, it was stuck on the boot logo (you know the Galaxy GT9100 .... Screen)
If I have the power cable attached it just displays an empty battery and the circle is NOT "circling". Battery symbol is not getting "full"
Now I can´t get into the recovery mode BUT I can get into the download mode.
I already tried to Flash with ODIN but it always gives me an error like this:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

Honestly I don´t care about the phone. I just want the data from my phone.
Does anyone have an idea?
Well you won't be getting any data of the phone unless you get it to boot/function normally, so first thing's first. Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread. Try the stuff in his thread until the phone successfully takes an Odin flash.
Hmm. How about you flash CWM on it and make a backup of the Stock ROM with it?

just curious but isnt the emmc limited to 4.0.4 ?
Going through the hoppers guide now
Alright I can do whatever I want. Odin always Fails at the NAND write step.
Which means one of two things:-
1) I don't know how much of Hopper's thread you read, but I'm fairly sure he makes the point that fixing cases like these is often a matter of persevering. You keep trying stuff until it works. The first 11 flash attempts might not work, but for whatever reason the 12th works. You can keep doing that if you want, or it could be
2) The NAND really is borked. If that's truly the case, then yes, only a motherboard replacement is fixing it (either a new one by a service centre or a 2nd hand one by you/a local mobile repair shop), and you can kiss goodbye any chance of recovering data from the phone.
Now, if it was my phone, I know what I'd be doing before I gave up & declared it a case of option 2 (but YMMV, obviously).

right, so is the storage fixed on the Mainboard and not a seperate module (like harddrives in Computers)?
So in case I switch the Mainboard I cannot take the old storage to the new Mainboard.
Correct.

Thanks for your answer but you lost me a little here.
As I wrote the recovery mode isn´t working at all. Only the download mode.
Already tried flashing the siyah kernel but still no difference in phone behaviour.
What exactly do you mean with "mount usb storage while phone connected to pc"?
When I connect the phone to the pc, Windows always tells me that there is a device that can´t be recognized (don´t know the exact error message) and that leads to no access to the phone by the Windows Explorer, Kies, ...
if the data in the phone is not much important than try this its my own fix.

Hi guys,
I'm in a bit of trouble. A few weeks ago I successfully installed CM 10 and everything was fine and working normal.
Then (I can't remember how) I must have somehow repartitioned or corrupted the file system on the device.
I am now stuck in a boot loop and can only go as far as download and recovery mode.
The message I get in recovery is 'E: failed to mount EFS'. I can see my EFS directory has been deleted/moved/corrupted and I believe I have done way more damage to the phone trying to repair it than before.
I have tried everything I can think of, stock ROM, different ROM, nandroid back up etc.
Although I can still get to recovery and download mode im pretty sure its done.
I have tried various tool kits such as the Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit and EFS professional etc, aswell as using the Android SDK and runing ADB commands through that to no avail. Half of the solutions I find on here that have helped other require USB debugging mode to be enabled, and I can't enable it because I cant turn the phone on, and there doesn't seem to be a command in ADB that will allow me to (Failsafe from Samsung).
I then arranged for teh phone to be serviced but I need to reset the flash counter. I cant use triangle away as I can't get into the phone and I can't seem to be able to do it through ADB. I don't think USB jigs reset the flash counter on the S3.
Its very frustrating as I seem to get somewhere then realise I need something else which I don't have access to.
If I can't repair the phone then I can send it off, but I need to be able to reset the flash counter,
Is their anyone here that could help me out? I have learned more about phones in this short period and its very interesting. well if your phone works..
I would be extremely grateful, Thank you

The message I get in recovery is 'E: failed to mount EFS'. I can see my EFS directory has been deleted/moved/corrupted and I believe I have done way more damage to the phone trying to repair it than before.
I have tried everything I can think of, stock ROM, different ROM, nandroid back up etc.
Although I can still get to recovery and download mode im pretty sure its done.
I have tried various tool kits such as the Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit and EFS professional etc, aswell as using the Android SDK and runing ADB commands through that to no avail. Half of the solutions I find on here that have helped other require USB debugging mode to be enabled, and I can't enable it because I cant turn the phone on, and there doesn't seem to be a command in ADB that will allow me to (Failsafe from Samsung).
I then arranged for teh phone to be serviced but I need to reset the flash counter. I cant use triangle away as I can't get into the phone and I can't seem to be able to do it through ADB. I don't think USB jigs reset the flash counter on the S3.
Its very frustrating as I seem to get somewhere then realise I need something else which I don't have access to.
If I can't repair the phone then I can send it off, but I need to be able to reset the flash counter,
Is their anyone here that could help me out? I have learned more about phones in this short period and its very interesting. well if your phone works..
I would be extremely grateful, Thank you

I don't think that you can now recover it by yourself. have you tried pit file to repartition it again, i think your partitions are deleted.. why don't you once try pit file to repartition the phone, else you wont have any other option than paying money to repair it..
Imo you flashed with wrong pit. Try m0.pit.

Thanks guys.
Is this the correct pit?

S3 white 16gb gt 19300
Also, is their anyway to reset the flash counter without using triangle away or to force run triangle away through ADB (which I doubt as I don't think ADB will automatically start the required function etc as its not booted into adroid)?

Now it wont boot into recovery..
Is there anyway I can further break the phone so they can't get into download to check the binary count. Or is that inconsequential...

that only happens if the motherboard is completely dead, like in SDS(not sure because i think phone boots into download mode showing product name nil), you cant do it yourself.. is your product code nil? have you checked maybe that can be SDS..

Im sure its not SDS just bricked from the start and more damage done to repair it. Now it won't boot into recovery after trying the .pit which was a last resort. I need to send it off to Samsung but the count is 15, ROM is Samsung Official and the last line is custom. (Im not with my phone I'm just remembering.)
Im sure its beyond repair i just need to reset the flash counter.
Thanks
i got you bro use this pit file it will fix it
