FD up my phone

I have been on Simply Stock for awhilenow and wanted to try MIUI. I odin back to stock and after that my screen is black. I cant get into DL mode either. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried using a download jig? It may help
My phone wouldn't turn on at all once, I mean NO LIFE AT ALL! I thought I was screwed but I kept trying Download mode and eventually counted out in my head about how long it normally took the phone to boot and time when I would normally let go of the power button. I was amazed but it werked! I can't remember but I don't think I even saw the yellow triangle with the shoveling android. I mean the phone was totally dead to the world. The only way I knew I was in download mode was that it connected to ODIN and I saw the little yellow bar.
Good luck!

I know how it feels. I black screen bricked my device on the first day I owned it. Rooted, flashed some ROMs, then black screen brick...
I came up with the Vibrant UnBrickable Mod just a couple of weeks ago. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277056
This mod lets you upload "Download Mode" from any situation. Give it a try, or send it in for JTAG. If you need help, send me a PM.

XDA GENIUSES PLEASE HELP! Hard Bricked i9100

Hey guys.
I made a stupid error last night when I tried going from ICS CM9 back to ICS STOCK LPQ.
I forgot to wipe data and just wiped cache and dalvik cache.
The connection broke whilst flashing through ODIN and now I have a blank black screen and the phone won't turn on...((( (It does technically as when I try pressing the on button later on the phone would get hot - meaning its on but BLACK SCREEN)
I have tried taking the battery out for hours and putting it back in...nothing is working.
I don't know what to do...I'm in uni where I have fast wifi. Please help. Any advice would be grateful
EDIT:
Ok.
So usb jig arrived this morning. Ripped it open. Popped my sgsII from charger (fully charged I think!) took battery out - 15 secs
placed battery back in.
Inserted USBJIG. . .
. . .
. . . . BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH
Nothing....Still the same. No screen activity...sad...
only way is either JTAG or Samsung service center right?
I used to have yellow exclamation mark + 4 counts....but they can't see anything so they won't know right?
or did the usbJig work but just the fact that I can't see anything on the screen??
...sad I hated seeing noobs flashing phones improperly and crying when it got softbricked....well even though mine is a straight hardbrick i still feel sad....noob
update.
I've taken it to SSCentre on tuesday. I called them yesterday and they said they couldn't fix it over there and had it shipped somewhere else...is that bad?
it could take upto 2 weeks!!!!!!
I rememeber the engineers working on my friends Galaxy S last year and they didn't have to send it to somewhere else. (he had the soft brick 3 yellow logo icons) and didn't have the version where the download/recovery mode didn't work) The engineer just flashed it with latest stock sgs firmware (ignoring that csc was orange lol)
Maybe my flash was so impeccable I fried the motherboard? I'm one kick ass bricker....

If you can get into download mode then there is still hope. If you can't then your only option is either warranty repair of Jtag service. If download mode then works then just reflash using Odin.
You flash i9000XXJVU to your i9100 phone? So you need JTAG or do service. Your bootloader is totally dead

Didn't even notice that XXJVU was an i9000 firmware.
To OP: Yup nothing to do, but send it in for repairs.
yeah sorry not JVU LPQ (I was getting mixed up with firmwares)
Yeah phone not going into download or recovery mode.
I think when I press the power button the phone does turn on but I get nothing but black screen....(the phone warms up)
So shall I order a JTAG to flash? or take it to repair centre?
Will they know I've been flashing this thing to death? Counter is on 4 at the moment..... so worried!

Check it once again if it doesn't work...
maybe u can try some usb-jigg ?!
so you can come in to download-mode and then flash with odin =(

JTag is not Samsung warranty its a paid for service .
or take it to repair centre?
Will they know I've been flashing this thing to death? Counter is on 4 at the moment....
.
Warranty is void with custom rom root or rom counter above zero .
Will they know yes counter is on 4 .
Will they ignore it and put it through as warranty they may but dont count on it .
USB jig would be the starting point .
That fails you could go to warranty repair if thats rejected then pay for JTag repair .

if you have adb maybe you could try:
1. Connecting your device to PC while turned off,
2. CMD > adb devices
* If you see your device connected, proceed with:
adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader
* If you don't see any device connected, try googling for qhsusb_dload driver for your device, and after you install them (and maybe a couple of PC restarts) repeat step 2
3. if you manage to get to recovery, i hope you have your nandroid backup so you could restore them.
my HTC sensation 4G had this situation few days ago, couldn't go to recovery/bootloader, blanked out when turned on and had fever
i fixed it using those steps, i wish i could remember where i got the qhsusb driver thingy from.. i'll let you know when i remember.
edit: it might work on S2, or might not.. i don't know this will help or not, but you could read adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101, maybe you could get something from there

The bootloader death thing is not 100% true. When I first got my phone, (when there wasn't any rom for it) I tried flashing a I9000 rom. I was so stupid and luckily it didn't break my phone. After the flashing it turned on and stayed on bootlogo.
It was a miracle for me!

Bro please watch this then give us some more info..
PS: Did you install CWM through Odin? Why on earth would you do that! Also if you wiped your device on ICS using CWM you may be up sh%t creek without a paddle, because your device might be permanently hard bricked

Like said here before, if you installed CWM on an unsafe Kernel (usually Stock Kernel present on 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 Stock Firmware) and after that wiped your data/cache etc. there is a good probability that you hard-bricked your device. Not even JTAG will help, if it`s the eMMC hardbrick.
Try to get into download mode and flash a Stock 4.0.3 Firmware and if you can`t then try a USB Jig to get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably hardbricked your device as described above
Read this on more info about eMMC superbrick:

Yes!!! I do believe that I know don't much about android. because I am very new at android... that's why I am bagging for u guys help.
I hope u Guys will teach me how to fix this situation.
I Used Odin 3 1.85 to install CMW. While the installation process taking place an error occur. and automatically shut down. show up an message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. try to connect kies...." after 10-15 mins showing this message
display gets black and stuck. i tried everything that is possible to me. press and holding power+VOL up+home together, leave it for charge etc.
but nothing works
COULD ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS SITUATION. :crying:
As said before, Try power + volume Down + home and flash a stock firmware through Odin
And is there still any life at all? What about when charging. Is there the charging animation?
Also maybe read through this? https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v1/discussions/27132

Oh yes. Android obviously sucks given you didn't have the cerebral matter to do your research before you started doing things that could potentially trash your phone
Only one thing is to blame in this instance. And that's you.

I love comments like this. Well if you don`t read properly how and what to flash at what time to your device and just do as you think is right then you are going to end up with a hardbrick. That`s nobodies fault but yours. Why did you buy an Android phone in the first place if you can handle an IPhone better?

If you have an hardbrick and you can`t even get into download mode, what do you expect people to do? We are normal human beings here, there are no miracles here. If you have an hardbrick, you can try to repair it via Jtag or send it to a Samsung service center if you are still on warranty but if you complain about Android and how much it sucks you won`t be making many friends here, since this is an Android community.

Relax.......
Please tell us more about the "MOD" you were flashing when the brick occured....
Are you able to pull the battery to power down, then replace the battery and boot to download mode ??.....(sounds like no based on your post. but...battery pull will often help)
If so, you are not bricked, simply jammed up....
If no download mode exists, then a JTAG service may be required...g
Sounds like the battery is fugazi. Charge with factory cable and wall wart, not from a pc or fake charger.
i went to get service the jitag and that did not work , my baby wont even turn on or download mode , at a service repare i was told to take it back on saturday to try some mainframe cable thing , i think i flash the rong kernel and it was not a mod is my rong doing and am going crazy :_( they even put in a new battery and nothing i meen my baby wont even glinsh

Seems like ur motherboard is gone... try ur ext-sdcard on ur pc... if the sd is damaged, u can imagine :'-(
sd card is fine i tried it in other phone
I feel for you, as I've lost one Note already, but take this as a lesson learned, and DO NOT flash anything unless your 100% positive of the outcome.
I took mine into my carrier (telus) and they issued me a new phone because it was in the first 30 days.
Maybe you'll have similar luck.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 won't turn on!

Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

Hi, no I can't boot in to download more or recovery mode, and the phone is out of warranty.

Are you sure it's out of warranty? Samsung offers a 2 year warranty in some countries (afaik everywhere in the EU)
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.
Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.
Pls help guys

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Hi there:
I had bought the device in June 2011
I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.
Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.
Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.
I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.
Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2
Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Siddharth

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.
and post here

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
MJDdeLacerda - Take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis, unless you're experienced with this type of electronics, nothing you can do.
