Hope it helps you
Try a jig as advised but it more than likely won't work, nor will a JTAG in all likelihood. And the 'fix' you were referred to in the post above mine definitely won't work. Motherboard replacement.
it seems the problem is very bad
so i think i have 3 choices now:
1- JIG method (which i didn't know before this topic).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/
2- JTAG method (i have a riff box, but i didn't use it before).
3- motherboard replacement.
so, which method is the easiest one, which i should try first?
note: there is electricity in the phone, the camera and the place around is hot after letting the phone attached.
Try a jig, & hope you're the 1 in 10,000 that it works for in these situations. Then, if you can find someone who does JTAG's & is prepared to have a look at your phone on the basis of you only pay them if a JTAG is possible, do that (again, very unlikely to be possible). Finally, you can either pay a Samsung service centre a fair bit of money to put a new motherboard in, or you can source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone & either replace yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it (cheaper than the Samsung option).

I have a question.
I just broke my phone following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702815
I followed every step in this thread, but when I want to power up my phone it doesn't do anything
No vibration, nothing. Volume+ and power button also don't work..
I think I broke my phone...
Is there any way to make my phone work again?
PLEASE HELP!!!
I think you're phone is permanently bricked . You might be able to recover it using ATF (Advance Turbo Flasher) but that requires buying special hardware and soldering it to your mainboard, and I'm pretty sure it would be expensive. If you're still under warranty, you might be able to have it replaced by Nokia.

That's not good :s
I bought the phone from someone else so i think no warranty.
I have to buy a new one i'm afraid.
Thanks for your response!

Maybe it's not to late, bozzy.
You can see if you have warranty just by checking your imei number, if yes just bring it to an ncs point.
Just read this and check your emei on the bottom of the page.

Goodluck
Yeah, I think the warranty might still work. I myself bought my phone from eBay, and I sent it in for repair because the battery cover was getting loose. It hasn't arrived at Nokia's Repair Center yet, but they checked the warranty from the IMEI number and sent me a prepaid shipping label so it looks like they'll accept it.
Mine still had the Qualcomm bootloader when I sent it so I'm not sure if they'll actually repair it, but since yours doesn't boot at all, I'm guessing they'll just flash back to stock without even checking to see if you rooted it or anything. They are supposed to be getting mine on Monday, so I guess I'll post back if they refuse to repair it because the bootloader is modified or because I'm not the original owner.
Hi

Either JTAG repair or MB replacement by Samsung/authorised repairer or get a board from a broken/donor phone & either replace it yourself or have a local mobile shop swap it out for you.
Jtag

Is there any place in Scotland n Edinburgh were i live this can be done?
No idea. I don't live anywhere near Scotland. Do a Google search for JTAG repairers (or look here ). If replacing the motherboard ends up being the only option (if the phone can't be JTAG'd), either pay Samsung/authorised repairer to replace it or get one from a broken phone (Google search/eBay/etc) & DIY/pay a local mobile shop to swap the boards out, as per my PP.
Or maybe TheUnderling will read this & he might know (of JTAG repairers in Scotland). He's in Aberdeen from memory (I wouldn't PM him if I were you tho; he'd probably/quite rightly delete your PM).
I've broke the screen of my S2. It doesn't show anything!
I will get it fixed by official Samsung service.
The problem is that I am rooted and they will see it and I am going to lose my remaining 1-year warranty.
I've found some guidelines to unroot it from the PC using ODIN (no need for the screen of S2 to work):
However, I must also reset the flash counter. Is that possible without seeing the mobile's screen??
If you physically 'broke the screen' (cracked/etc accidentally or whatever), you can forget about getting it fixed under warranty (unless you have some kind of 3rd party warranty covering such things). If the screen malfunctioned, that's a different story.
I don't think A/S center will fix 'physically' broken screen for nothing because it is your fault...
I don't know much about SGS2 because I don't have it. But just try to flash ODIN Firmware.

Of course I will have to pay the screen replacement.
What I don't want is to lose the remaining warranty...
Ahhhh OK. Gotcha. Hmmm....
Why not replace the screen yourself ? Will be cheaper than paying an authorised repairer to do it, and if anything goes wrong with the phone after, your warranty will still be good. Or even go to a local mobile repair shop who isn't an authorised repairer & have it replaced.
This is going to be easier than trying to do something that's bordering on impossible. I know with some Android phones you can flash stock roms from ADB, but with the SGS2 I'm not so sure. If it were me (If I cared about warranty; I don't, but, anyway...), I'd get the screen replaced (which you've said yourself you're going to have to pay for anyways) via either of the above methods & bypass authorised repairers. If you don't have that choice (I.E only local mobile repair shop is a Samsung authorised repairer), buying one from eBay/replacing it yourself is your best bet.

OK, thanks for your advice!
I am from India & I have a Samsung Galaxy S2( model number SHW-M250K). Its Korean version. With the help of xda forum I converted SHW-M250K to GT-i9100 Successfully and I was very happy.
I started learning more and more about flashing ROMs(STOCK ROM & CUSTOM ROM) and I started flashing different ROMS for my Samsung galaxy S2.:good:
The problem came to my notice when I select network manually it says ‘’ unable to connect, try again later’’ and I noticed that my IMEI number also changed to 004************00/01 & I was like WTF .
I searched google & other forums including xda about the problem and I tried everything with was possible(flashing different ROMs/ EFS BACKUP,nv_data…..so on ) but the IMEI was not changing to the original.
From some forum I came to know that flashing EZFroyo may solve the problem, so I downloaded
(PIT-EZbase.pit,CSC- EZbase-CSC-XXJV1.tar.md5, PDA- ezbase-pda-xwjs3.tar.md5,MODEM- ezbase-phone-xxjve.tar.md5 & EZOdin ). I used Siyah Kernel (-v6.0b4) for rooting.
While flashing this EZBASE froyo using ODIN, I PULLED THE USB DATA CABLE by mistake. At that time the EZBASE.pit file was flashing and the moment USB DATA CABLE unplugged, I knew that I am in a big trouble now.
After this the phone is almost dead but while charging it gets heated near the camera, that means its not dead.
I am unable to go to DOWNLOAD MODE nor RECOVERY MODE.
I went to SAMSUNG REPAIR SERVICE and I told them the whole story. They checked it and told me that since the phone is Korean made, they don’t have the original Korean software here and the Indian version won’t work on this (Not working). Hence they returned the phone back to me.
Now the only option left to me is to go to Korea……?? Lol
Now I am confused about USB JIG and JTAG. Someone please tell which one I should use for my galaxy s2.
I have read somewhere here that usb jig is the only option which will boot the phone into DOWNLOAD MODE. I KNOW MY CHANCES ARE LESS BUT I STILL WANT TO TRY. I am going for usb jig.
PLEASE HELP. I just want to know if I am missing any trick to de-brick my SGS2.
If anyone have Samsung Galaxy S2 MOTHERBOARD and want to sell it then please let me know.
Jig more than likely won't work, but search on eBay for 'Samsung Galaxy S2 jig', they only cost a couple of bucks, you might as well try one in case you're the 1 in 10,000 where a jig works in these situations.
If you can't find a JTAG repairer near you, there are others in different parts of the world you can post the phone to & they may be able to repair it (assuming it is able to be JTAG'd). If it isn't JTAG'able, replace motherboard (source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone/with a broken screen/etc).
If I had to take an educated guess tho, you need a motherboard replacement.

1)) Thanks for ur quick response. I really appreciate that. Before sending it to someone over courier or donating, I would love to spend some bucks on usb jig.
2)) The Samsung repair service told me that Motherboard replacement is not possible because of the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KOREAN & INDIAN VERSION INTERIOR CIRCUIT.
3)) If I send my phone for JTAG' to someone who is outside India, then what is the guarantee that he will send me my phone back. Please don't mind.
Android GURU's, newbie here.. first post. please help. I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 while flashing a new ROM, I sent in a wrong pit file for my phone and this hardbricked my phone completely. Tried USB jig also, no luck. When I charge phone, all it does, is it gets heated near the camera part and nothing, no download mode, nothing , nada. Have been reading about JTAG option, but i am not having any leads on that who can do that in Bangalore, India. If someone has any leads or any other solution please help me. Would like to exhaust every option before taking it to Samsung and pay big bucks (out of warranty) to change MOBO. Any leads will be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time reading my post and trying to help.
Motherboard replacement. JTAG very unlikely to work, Google search/contact local mobile repair shops & ask if they do JTAG's. Also, you don't necessarily have to pay a service centre a lot of money to put a new motherboard in. You can source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone (say a phone with a broken screen that is otherwise OK), this will be much cheaper than paying a service centre to put a new one in, even if you're not confident enough to DIY & pay a local mobile repair shop to actually swap the new board in after you source it.
Why you you flashed a pit file ... why?
No 1 rule don't flash a pit file until no other solution works and you are sure that you have right driver odin pit phone
Maybe a jtag works but its better a mobo replace
