Having recently installed a miui rom, i found that my phone has become brocked. I can go to dwonload mode, and I can turn it on but there is only a blank screen. Does anyone know how to unbrick it?
Thanks
go into download mode open up ODIN and flash a stock ROM. Simple as that.
you should buy a jig to get download mode. Did you tried recovery mode ?

He said he can access Download mode which means he can flash a stock ROM and all will be good.
I can't seem to go into recovery mode

to get recovery get into download mode open Odin and flash CF-Root Kernel and then try to get into download mode that way.
I flashed the CF Root Kernel (XW_CLK_KF3), but it failed in Odin

onli flashing pda wont work i thinkk... you may need to repartition
go to http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-4-gingerbread-xxkg3-firmware-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s2/
flash it by repartitioning
download the package in it. it worked for me
Where can I find the stock ROM for a Bell Samsung GS2?
try samfirmware.com
they have all of the official released firmwares based on geographical region.

I have unbricked my phone but i can't access the android market, everytime time i open up the app it closes
my t-mobile galaxy s2 is dead after ICS upgrade failed
i am noobi. my galaxy s2 went through 2 stages before becoming dead.
1. i tried to flash I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar using odin. it got stuck in connection mode. then failed. when rebooted the phone, i got a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
2. now, odin still sees it. I tried different ROMs then the phone becomes dead. the phone is dead even after pressing the vol up+vol dn or any other key combination.
Now, windows 7 reports driver error when connecting the phone via usb. Linux sees the Qualcom modem, but heimdall failed to detect the phone. Any suggestion beside throwing my phone in trash is appreciated.
If you can't get into download mode (home/power/volume down), only thing you can try before you send it back to Samsung or get it JTAG repaired is a jig, which unfortunately is unlikely to work. Still worth a try tho.

Try uploading a stock kernel first, then try uploading the rom
Do we have to have a jig?

I had the Exact same problem as you this is what you need to do.
1. Take everything out of your phone micro sd ,sim battery
2.Get your Usb Port and connect the first side to your pc but not to the phone
3.Insert Battery
4.Hold the vol down butt and at the same time connect the Other side of the cable into the phone then you will see
DOWNLOAD MODE!!!!!
5.From there install your sock rom again using samfirmware.com
6.Done
after flashing Resurrection Remix v2.1 rom,
I tried to enter recovery-mode using the Rom Manager app.
my device stooped functioning.
when trying to use it, all I got was the Samsung logo for 3 sec
and afterwards the screen blinked every few seconds.
fortunately download-mode was available.
so I managed to get out of this mess with Odin and stock ics 4.0.3.
I strongly suggest that you DO NOT USE Rom Manager.

What's the purpose of these steps?
I heard it's for entering the download mode.
But I can enter the download mode without difficult.
My problem is that I can't enter recovery mode and boot normally even after I flash stock roms by odin.

from what you've wrote - your case is nothing like the one I had.
I'm trying to help, not to annoy you.
I read that the battery procedure is recommended at such a case.
http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/
and it helped me before.
it's quick and cheap - what have you got to lose ?
if it doesn't help, double check that the rom you've flashed is for your device.
it's always good to check the rom's file md5.

Well what rom are you on at the moment (which id you flash last)?
Its probably because you havent wipe data/factory reset before/after flashing rom or you're flashing incompatible kernel etc.
Try booting into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
If you cant get into cwm, go into download mode and flash Siyah v4 .tar, then reboot into recovery wipe data and flash your desired rom.

Go to Stock Recovery
Do Wipe data /cache
And then Flash a fresh Stock Rom via Odin
It will Boot if no then after flashing stock just do wipe data and then reboot
Thats it .

Since you can see the opening screen,I am sure it would go into download mode.
Press Volume up+Volume Down+Power to boot up the phone into Download mode.Connect the phone to your PC and see whether Odin recognizes it.Then,flash the stock Rom.

Did you flash a stock rom with odin v3.07?Your recovery might be damaged. First,install the stock rom with odin.Make sure it boots.Then go into recovery by pressing volume up+power+home and flash your desired rom.

No need for service center, just follow the steps for flashing a rom through Odin and you can recover your phone to a working state, but grab all the patience you can and follow the steps CAREFULLY, or you'll have a really hard time recovering your Ace-i

Try to uninstall your usb drivers , the go here at the end of the first post (OP - this is Convert kernel zip to tar tool, but no need to do any conversion), download usb drivers and odin. At post #4 you have pre made kernels. Flash any kernel you want DorimanX or Gustavo in AP or PDA box and make sure re-partition NOT ticked. After a successful flash you phone will boot and stays at the boot. take off battery and insert again , power up with power on + home + vol up to enter recovery and format ONLY these partition /data& cache - dalvik cache, system, preload. Once in recovery, your will be able to mount usb or mtp device to recover your files and try flashing a custom rom!

hey dude i got stuck on zimage in odin, the problem is mostly the flashing part i am using kk-kernel-04-02-CWM-for ODIN.tar
(Gustavo Kernel)
It shouldn't stuck, try other kernels, doesn't matter that they are kk or lp. try other usb port, even another pc!
Edit: I forgot , try another cable! Flashing via usb cable there no room for error, so no faulty usb cable ports and corrupted drivers!

ok my phone is not charging anymore. it says low battery cant enter download when i enter download mode. when i charge my i9100 it gets stuck at a grey battery with a android loading circle in the middle. i think this may need to go to the repair shop. when i try to just power on, I now have a yellow triangle with Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 screen and its just stuck there

Just beware, you *could* end up paying more for a repair than the cost of a working secondhand S2....
