Mobo replacement will help.If no download Mode,nor recovery,then go to the service center.you can't do anything.

i had send it to service center nothing i can do
i had read about the JIG usb but dont have one

Service centre said "no way"?
If so, I don't think you'll be able to do it yourself.
A jig? You can try that.
Jtag? Why not.
Mobo replacement? For sure.
You weren't trying to flash a pit file did you?

some one had call you here ???
i dont see any usefull for your post so why dont you just stay away from Q&A section you just bother others not only me
im glad i dont have this phone for my self ,, to see someone like you on every thread just make fun of other pissing off
so just stay out of busness

1) I dunno who you are, never seen your username before.
2) Do you think I was making fun of you? Re-read.
3) what's listed above is what you can now do with your phone.
4) I didn't brick it, you did.
5) I'm in it for the sake of the devices, not the users.
Sent from...this is not even my S2

If a service centre can't/won't fix it (I don't believe this; they make a mint every time they fix a phone like this, money for jam for them) then throw it in the bin, because you're certainly not fixing it yourself given the mess you got yourself into in the first place

[Q]HELP Bricked SGS2?

Hello Guys!

It stopped and now he can't go anymore in the download mode and the phone remains black...
is that a full brick? is there any chance to run it again?
do you need more informations?
I looked throuth the threds but i couldnt find something like that...
i hope anyone can help
Will Samsung repair that with Warranty?
Can i know why he disconnected his phone during using something with Odin?!
He made a Solid Brick he cant do anything else than Warranty or JTAG..

It's not the most correct thing to do (actually, not at all, it was your friend's fault entirely, also voiding the warranty), but your friend can tell them that the device began to heat while charging, he unpluged it and it died, sometimes it happens...
As for the JTAG you asked on the other post, it's a physical connector inside the cellphone used to write the flash memory, it involves opening the device, pinning some terminals and programming via PC, it's pretty common on embedded devices to load the program for the first time.
There is still a chance to get the phone back to its senses!
you will need 2 people to do this
read all 5 steps then only proceed!
1. Remove the battery.
2.Start odin in your pc.
3.connect the mobile to the pc using cable.
4.keep pressing the keys required to get in download mode. i.e. power+home+volume down key.
5.ask someone else to put the battery in your phone keeping the keys pressed!.
if every thing goes right Odin will detect the phone Flash it with a good rom you know which works! and never take out the cell from odin when its being flashed until odin says Success!

Won't work if the PIT wasn't completed therefore leaving the device void of a bootloader, but it's worth the try, you have nothing to lose...
Wow, nice will try today... I will get the phone... would get a free Pizza if i would make it work again! thank you guys for your answers. I will tell you what happend...

thank you guys for all your support
Afaik u never supposed 2 use pit options in odin for gs2 otherwise u end up with a brick anyway regardless if u remove the cable or not. perhaps read more and be more careful if u ever decide 2 flash again. i would not be happy with that friend lol.

[Q] Please help me!

I have a GT-I9100M that is refusing to turn on. My computer cannot even tell when the phone is plugged into it.
I was following the guide located at
dropbox.com/s/6oiqm8909pwg6qt/For%20i9100G%20users%20only.pdf
to try to update my phone. I was using the Odin method with the 2 files linked under "using odin" on the first page of the guide.
Odin said something to the effect of "FAIL". I tried again, but ODIN got stuck, so after a while I unplugged my phone from the computer.
Now I cannot get a response from the phone at all. I have tried pressing power, holding vol.down+home+power, removing the battery. Even when I connect the phone to my computer, I get no response (My computer doesn't even recognize that the phone is plugged in).
Are there any steps that can be taken? Should I contact Samsung? I read something about a USB JIG... would one of those help? Is this a "hard brick"?
I am in Waterloo, Canada (it's near Toronto). If there are no other options, can anyone recommend a trusted repair service?
Thank you in advance and sorry if I am replicating an already existing thread! I searched and searched, but tbh I'm pretty worked up atm, so I may have missed it.
EDIT: On closer inspection, it seems the file I tried to upgrade with was for I9100G, whereas I have I9100M. I'm guessing this is the source of the problem?

Yes that was the source of the problem ...
Do you see phone connected in ODIN.. That is COM section turning Yellow ???
No, Odin can't see the phone
Bottom line is, if you can't get into download mode (vol down/home/power), your next best (very faint) chance is a jig. If that fails, you'll need to have a JTAG repair done, or return it to your telco/Samsung for repair.
The JTAG repair may well turn out to be the cheaper option given there's a pretty good chance Samsung will charge you to repair it, as using non-stock firmware on the phone voids your warranty.

Hi
If odin can not see your phone means you are not in download mode.
also you can use "Download Mode JIG" to put your phone in download mode if its not bricked. you can buy online.
Also you can make it @ home if you know about how to.

Now That's a serious Problem...
As you have said you can not even go into download mode or Recovery mode
do what @MistahBungle has Said ...
USB Jig is your first Option.. If you have one ...
Okay, thank you for sharing your expertise!
Would anyone happen to know if this site mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/
is reputable? $75 to get me out of this mess isn't toooo bad.
Also, any tips for approaching Samsung? I'd like to be honest with them, of course, but if there's a chance that they won't be able to tell what I've done, I might just say "it when dark when I tried to update it".
I'm with Rogers, but I bought the phone off Kijiji. I doubt they would help me...
Anyway, thanks again!

Listen if the phone is still under warranty you can try approaching the samaung service centre and tell them that the phone suddenly switched off while using and then refused to switch on..
Since the phone cant be booted even to the download mode, they wont be able to check the binary counter so..
They might fix it for you or maybe if you are lucky they may get you a replacement!
I had a similar problem and they fixed it for me..

[Q] problem with i9100p dead and jig not work !!!

hi,
i get one i9100p
at first a try to update it ... to unlock it with z3x
flash with odin begin and stop ... i wait after 30 minutes and i try to reflash it but now phone is complety dead ....

phone dead and not detected by pc
any suggestions ? any solutions please ?
thanks in advance
If you cant get it into download mode, your only option would be either to send it to samsung for repair (will probably cost a lot) or a JTAG (google for your nearest location, and is probably cheaper)

So what did you flash in Odin anyway? You don't specify in your post.
Regarding your JTAG dilemma, from your last response, I would recommend contacting Samsung.

Just take it to Samsung. They will either JTAG it for you or replace the motherboard. Since your phone won't boot or go to download or recovery they cannot see you've done anything naughty with the warranty.
Say you did a Kies update and it never came back on.
i flashed with odin pit , pda , code and cs and i dont touche boot ?

Why would it cost? If the phone won't boot at all Samsung won't know what he's done and will do a warranty swap.

There has been people with phones under warranty that had to pay for their phones to be repaired (failed odin and etc). Hence the reason why I said "probably".
If he doesnt have to pay, good for him.

If the phone won't boot then Samsung can't tell what happened. As long as s/he lies and said it occurred via a Samsung sanctioned activity (like Kies flash) and the device is not physically damaged/liquid ingressed then it is a warranty job.
If OP does something pants-on-head-retarded like say "it died cos I repartitioned via Odin lol" then of course they will charge.
it mean then there are no solution
and i have to waranty it samsung
yes ?

I can't comment on things without knowing the context. Are the threads still near the top?
For what it's worth I think that if you brick your phone you SHOULD be expected to pay for it. I would like to see this in action.
EDIT: If you mean the people who have been denied in the rc6 thread... they had their device JTAG'd first and Samsung saw the soldering on the mainboard, not the kernel.
it mean that if i send it to samsung , they will repair it for me without pay ?

Hard brick!

so after hard bricking my device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731445 i got it into some kind of download mode. i also managed qpst to see my phone but i dont know how to use that. not sure if fastboot would recognize the phone in that download mode. i just wanted to know if there was a way to pull the stuff i had in the internal sd card like adb pull but adb wont see the phone. tmobile told me to go tomorrow so they can exchange it for another one but before i bricked it i copied some of the pics and vids from the camera 2 times using root explorer. the first time i didnt get all of them and the second time they all say they they were corrupted.

JIG will be a no-go, your only hope is either to try and use Qualcomm internal tools (which are not found on the internet) to flash, or JTAG.

yup now i learned my lesson. the qualcom tool is the qpst i was talking about. but you need the files to flash to it. i think your files are lost bro. unless you send it to samsung so they can fix it. i dont think if they flash it will delete your files since they wont flash to the sd card partition. but then again im not sure if they will notice if you were rooted. next time im saving all my stuff into my external sd
Yea, now I just await the call from Bestbuy about getting more in. My JIG comes in tomorrow so we will see.
Not surprisingly to see people who ruin there device and want to exchange it for another. Of course even though it was there own fault for ruining it they shouldn't have to pay for the replacement.
Makes perfect sense for companies and carriers not to support rooting/flashing. Its bad enough already.

That is the reason Motorola locked their bootloaders, and others have raised insurance premiums. Please don't lie. Its insurance fraud first of all. If you ruined your device by flashing non-stock ROM's and such its time to man up, and dish out the money for a new phone. Don't make other's pay for your mistakes/missfortune. Do some more research on the other method of flashing and see if you can fix it. I wish you luck.

No download mode or recovery?
Tried a USB Jig?
If none work, a JTag might save it, not sure on .pit files, whether it kills the motherboard or not.
May have to be a Samsung repair job...

Are you happy enough to make the Jig? They can be bought on eBay for £2 (very cheap wherever you are from).
There is a website called mobiletechvideos.com, they are based in America but they deal with these types of bricks.
As I said, not sure if a bad .pit file flash kills the motherboard or not. But try the Jig first and see if there is any response.

My mate tried that once and he got turned down, his phone was also stock.
Don't always expect a lie to work, but I suppose if you don't want the hassle of trying to fix it, the repair centre is a phone call away...

The problem is not the cost of jig cable but the time that I need to wait before receive it. I if I try myself maybe that I can save one week and, if this trick don't work, and I will send the galaxy s2 in the Samsung services...
I'm member of Samsung exclusive.. I hope to save some days..
Anyway... I hope to solve with a jig cable.. In the meantime I have found a basic smartphone from my friend.. Just to make a tethering and use my asus transformer for all the normal operation...
But.. Just for my information.. How a wrong file can generate a hardware problem in the motherboard?
I repeat...I'm really very stupid! I have make this operation a lot of times... And without attention I have make this operation yesterday... @##@#....
Thanks guys.. If some people have some extra idea... Reply me please!
Sam
You could be surprised the damage flashing wrong .pit file can do. I suppose doing what Jokesy said would be worth a try.
