[Q] Bricked?

Hello,
I tried flashing CyanogenMod 7.1 onto my SGS2.
Cyanogenmod needs two times flashing in order for it to flash succesfull.
I only did once... and rebooted...
Now.. my SGS2 is practically dead...
It won't go past the Samsung Galaxy SII Logo which you get at startup.
Is there ANY way to fix this?
I've tried flashing my old XWDD_Insecure and i've also tried flashing Official Samsung kernel but i can't get my phone to boot properly. (I'm noob, i probably don't even have to do this, i just don't know)
Does anyone know ANY fix for this? (just to get it to boot normal again?)

you know oink i really like you, your so fast when it comes to answering our queries here. keep it up!
if bricked use jig!
When your phone boots up it's not hard bricked.. Flashing official kernel won't help either because cm7 kernel and sammy's kernel is different.. Why don't you just flash a fresh firmware or restore your backup if you have one or just install cm7 again..

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi+3G) screen flickering after trying CM9

Hello guys,
I am experienced in flashing roms and whatever... I already did this hundreds of times with a Galaxy S, Asus Transformer and now with my Galaxy Nexus.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G+wifi). I tried to install CM9 but it didn't work. And man... I really tried a loooot!!!
Well... now I am trying to use the regular stock rom in my Galaxy Tab and everytime the screen turns itself off and I turn it on again, it flickers!!! It's VERY annoying since I have to turn off the tablet to be able to use it again.
I have a nandroid backup and I restored it, but it didn't work... it still flickers!!! =P
I also tried to flash some recovery files: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2487 like you guys recommended in some other posts.
But it didn't work, too.
Guys... I am getting a little desperate in here... I have been searching for an answer for this for days.
Can anyone help me, please?
Have you tried to use ODIN to flash back to stock?

Hello 9xnine, thank you for your reply. Unhappily I don't have a stock rom (and it seems there's none available - Brazil's model).
Anyway restoring a nandroid backup (like I did) would be the same than flash a stock rom back, right?
Theoretically yes but I often find that Nandroid's won't work for a number of reasons. ODIN is and always has been my friend.
Try this. Looks like the ZVV build is for Brazil

Flash by Odin rom from this link:http://www.hotfile.com/dl/145473375/7dd41d4/P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.zip.html
This is a rom for 7510 but it works with 7500. Then you have to upload the latest CWM and CM9.
For me it works.
The method described in this issue.

[Q] Please Help! Galaxy S2 stuck at boot after CM10 Rom

Hi guys!
About 1 week ago everything worked well on my Galaxy SII GT-I9100 running cyanogenmod 10 rom android 4.1.2 . One day I wanted to check my calendar app. When I opened it suddenly the phone freezed and restarted. It was stuck on the boot up screen with 'Samsung galaxy S2 GT-I9100'. Then I tried to go into recovery mode and I couldn't, the phone just restarts it self and freezes on the boot up screen. After this I went into download mode and flashed the stock 4.0.4 and many other stock roms through odin just to see the phone starting up but it didn't.Till now I am searching for a solution and unluckily I didn't find any.
I am sorry if there are some similar threads out there but please help me. My warranty is void and I need your help guys.
Thanks you soo much and I hope you know a solution for my problem...
So can you start cwm ? Take out battery, wait three minutes, do cwm. This has always worked for me to get back into the game.

Yes I flashed a ton of Rom versions (Jelly bean leak, 4.0.4, 4.0.3, 2.3.5) through odin and the phone reacts all the same like I didn't flash anything on it. And on every firmware I flashed I couldn't get into any recovery mode...
The fact is that you must wipe /data from recovery whole going to a stock rom, otherwise your phone will pause at the logo. Flash Siyah kernel, check if you can boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

Edit: I can't post outside links because I'm new, but search for Galaxy S GT-I9000: how to fix boot to recovery with Volume up+Power? over on the Android Stack Exchange site.
I was stuck in the CyanogenMod boot screen and this saved me:
URL edited.
This bit did it:
"Another try might be: Power off your phone. Hold Power, Vol Up and Home Button. Wait for galaxyS logo then release Power button! For me that is the proper combination."
we should call this "the calendar of death".
But yeah, keep flashing & wiping till it's up and running.

No... Its not a CM problem, otherwise it would be in the known issues or people in the thread would have reported. It is a problem from your end. Are you flashing the correct GApps?

Flash CM9 resurrection edition from cm9 thread via Odin. It will give you a working recovery from where you can flash CM10.1

[Q] Touch Screen Not Working After Temasek Unofficial CM11

Hello everyone, I was using ultimarom till now and it worked like a charm. Today I thought hey lets upgrade to android 4.4 so I found temasek's rom and it seemed fine. After flashing the rom, it got stuck on boot screen. So I reflashed the stock rom (btw I wiped everything as required) and it was working. So I retried flashing the Temasek's rom and it booted this time, only thing is that my touch screen was not responding. The capacitive buttons are working also the touch screen is showing everything but not responding to anything. I searched a little bit, and it might be possible that my digitizer is broken which I hope is not since I am in a different country and it will be a pain to do it here. Also I read that if you tried to install Note 2 kernel/rom this might happen but I know that temasek's rom is definitely for s3 so it shouldnt be the case for me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried with both stock and temasek once again and the touch screen still does not respond. I always used cwm for recovery though, and did a factory reset on the stock recovery once to see if that works. I can flash ultima as well I suppose but I am not sure if that will fix it.
Edit: I tried to flash ultima but the installation steps required the use of touch screen so I could not proceed.
Are you sure that you download Temasek's rom for I9300 not for another model? Because Temasek supports more devices.
And on Temasek's thread I didn't find any user complaining about touch screen issue after installing it,so I think that you flashed it for different model.

Flash back to stock with odin if problem is still there then it is hardware issue....
I rechecked and it is temasek for I9300. I restocked ofc with odin and it is no use tbh. I mean it is weird as the first time I flashed stock rom the touch screen was not working for 30 seconds or sth than it started working so I was really happy for a second.. After another flash it was not working and I was like yea it will work soon, but it didnt. I tried with loads of roms and kernels and it is still no use.
Any help? I have no idea how to fix this! I may have to send my phone for replacement which will be costly I suppose.. Any little tip will be appreciated.

Didn't u install the new version of Cwm? I'm using ultimarom v16 & I try to use Android v4.4.2... It seemed good to me

Solution
Hey dude, I couldnt find any solution to that problem. What I did was to send it in for replacement but with warranty. For that you need to triangle away your phone and also install the official firmwares. I had to use a mouse in order to do that but you will need a usb to micro usb converter, which is not that hard to find( and also cheap). They couldnt tell that I installed unofficial firmware, I replaced my screen flawlessly. You can find how to triangle away your phone in this forum and also sammobile is the place to look for official firmware.
Cheers
