This is slightly off topic, but I desperately need help.
I put ICS on my Dads Samsung Galaxy a few days ago, and left him to it after that. He decided he didn't like it and without asking me about it, decided to restore it back to GB through CWM recovery. He's now stuck on the boot screen every time he starts his phone.
I'd really appreciate some help here guys.
Thanks in advance.

try wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot from recovey...
if no hope try wipe data factory reset and do again a restore..
I like your dad's decision - the way he went about it is obviously flawed...
Standard bootloop? Flash stock etc. Backup?

Wipe data/cache from the recovery menu and then try a restore.
if doesnt work probably there are some corrupt files in the backup so wipe and then flash the rom you(your dad ) want.
WARNING : Wiping data would make you loose all your apps but amything in the 'sdcard' wont get effected

Will do!
Also, the reason for him wishing to restore was something to do with the fact his phone calls weren't working. He said he posted on here through this account and got no reply so decided to try and restore it.
He can make and answer calls, but he can't hear or be heard by the other person.
Any idea?

Odin froze and closed. The phone is now unresponsive. Help!?!?!?!?!?!?

OP, I thought you said your dad's phone is a Galaxy S, not an S2? Well this is a link to S2 firmwares.
Edit: went back and read... Yup, you said he is stuck on the i9000 screen. You are better off asking for i9000 help in the i9000 forums...else people will assume you are talking about an i9100, and tell you to do things for the i9100, like above.

I posted in there, and got no response. It's like a graveyard in there!
Hello,
I am just new to the Samsung Galaxy S2, and when I followed every step into rooting my phone, I went bad. This is what I did;
I came from ICS 4.0.4 update
installed a root patch + cwm which is called "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5".
Followed the steps to install the rom "[ROM][JB 4.1.1][AOKP/CM10] ReVolt JB [Ver. 2.5][03/10][AROMA+OTA]"
When the rom installed, it stayed on 0 % for 2 minutes, then the whole phone turned off and I can't do anything(Can't even turn it on!)
Frankly, I never read about the eMMc bug, Since I don't use Samsung device's that much. I just followed the rules and now I guess I am screwed.
Now my question is, is my phone eMMc hard bricked? What to do now?
Thanks in advance,
-Armazia
Edit: When I keep the battery in my phone, the upper right stays warm(Seen from the back of the phone).
Don't panic.. coz it'll make u worse to run next step to fix...
Try to pull batt for about 3 mnts. Put it in & try to turn on.. if it cant turn on try to recharge, see if there's charging animation mean ur phone is ok or only softbricked.
If it's turn on then turn it off again then try to enter cwm by pressing power+home+vol up together at a time- release pow button while bootlogo appears.

CFroot i believe is affected by the eMMC super brick bug, so if you did a wipe with the cf root kernel most likely you've hardbricked your phone

Not even a jtag service repairs emmc bug... Just try to remember, did you wipe anything on stock 4.0.4 kernel ? if you did, then its the emmc bug and nothing but an entire motherboard replacement can fix it.

I have whiped, since it was the advice of the rom developer. But still I didn't know about the eMMc bug. =/
Bad luck dude. The ROM devs take it for granted you've read the warning since its a sticky in the general section. If its under warranty you could still get it replaced for free if you can cook up a good enough story. Since the motherboard is dead there's no way they can find out you've rooted.

If I do want to make up a story, Do they know I flashed a rom(cause I have flashed a complete rom before this rom, which just had a bootloop)?, and can they see I've tried to root the phone?

If the motherboard is dead theres no way they can know if anything has been done with it. Rooting, number of ROMs flashed, etc. Nothing. Somebody I know with the same issue said he'd kept the phone to charge overnight and it was dead in the morning worked. Had a replacement phone in under a week.try your luck.

Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.
Really hope so as it's a mates phone.
I've done my s3, s1 and the Mrs s2 without it going wrong so I'm not sure how it went wrong this time.

Your phone have got super brick, and the JIG nothing to do.... You must go to service.
The reason for this is stock kernel who has kode cause brick.

You might give some more info on what all you did or what file you were trying to flash....
Sounds like the problem of Gingerbread root on ICS system, or vice-versa. Just redo your work, ensuring you use the appropriate file for your system.
By the way, NEVER tweak your system until you learn to move important stuff to your external sd card or pc.
Boot into clockwork mod. Do factory wipe, wipe dalvik/cache. Should fix it.

Really? I think the best advice was rangercaptain's advice followed by crixley. OP was using odin which means he was trying to install a rooted kernel most likely from a different android version or he was installing CWM. So I highly doubt he has CWM installed and functioning. So how is he going to boot into CWM??
Well I guess I thought he followed the proper instructions and installed cwm first. I admittedly skimmed most of the posts.

First off, say hi to your sister for me.
Second of all, get an I9100 ROM.
Third, when on that exclamation mark screen, flash that ROM.

That exclamation mark error is telling something bad has happen with earlier flash, ie unfinished flash, corrupt files etc. Back in the old days people usually use usb jig to force phone into nornal download mode again. That happen to me once and what i did is remove battery, hold the three button combination for download mode and while still holding those buttons, force reinsert the battery. Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it
