A week ago a friend gave me his sgs2 cause it was broken. He did a software update and after that it freeze on the samsung logo. So i tryed to reflash it and it always stoped at zimage or nand write start. After that i tryed to flash it with a pit file but i got the wrong one and it wont start anymore nor go in DW mode :silly: . Before i started trying things out , the s2 would only boot in to the DW mode. My question is , if i replace the mainboard will it work again or it wont do anything ?
pls help me and ty
A motherboard replacement is the only fix in this instance, so the answer to your question is yes.

perhaps a USB Jig may be of use to you in this situation to get you to download mode (Check my sig if you need a USB jig)
once you go to download mode, you can get to flash a stock firmware from odin
cheers!
By bricked doesn't that mean it's better off at a repair shop?
Since you can flash through odin. Tried flashing stock fitmwares? there's a site where you can download them.. Google.
Bricked ??? the OP may just be saying fully bricked without knowing .
Service job is paid for no warranty .
OP does not mention recovery mode .

just try to go to samsung center and they will give their warranty. because they can get into download mode too so they can check your binary count dude
Hi all.
I have already posted my problem in this thread which I have read to the end ( [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G )
but was not able to get any solution so I'm starting a new thread hopefully someone might be able to help me and sorry if I was not suppose to start a new thread.
My problem is as follows and hope that someone can help.
I have downloaded odin mobile and installed it on my S2 I9100 G which previously had CM 10 installed on it and I wanted to flash the official firmware using Odin mobile. I did run it and then the phone prompted me for M5 or Md5 that was detected and should click yes to verify before flashing. I clicked yes then it started verifying and when it was done it rebooted and then was stuck on the (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen) and did not want to move. I waited for an hour and a half and nothing happened. When I removed the battery (I could not reset or do anything else) and put it back, the phone turned on by itself and stayed still on the starting screen (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen)
Now I'm not being able to put it in recovery nor download mode.
Can any one help and anyone knows if the jtag dongle can actually force it to go to download mode even at this stage
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Ok thank you guys. I think I was able to fix it and revive my phone.
go to service centre they solve your problem

The thing is you flashed a version not meant for your GT I9300. You flashed the Verizon bootchain. Verizon GSIII is Samsung SCH-i535.
Different hardware than a i9300 (Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260A Dual core CPU, and the i9300 has a Samsung Exynos 4412 Quadcore). Sorry bro. If you still have download mode, you can try flash a i9300 bootloader. If not. you're dead.
A few days ago I charged my s3 and went to bed and then in the morning when I tried to turn on my s3 it got stuck on the Samsung icon screen and nothing happens..
I can only get into download mode and when I tried to flash a rom there is an error that say that I need to put a pit file but when I do it's just get stuck for hours...
Please if anyone can help ill be glad! (Oh and sry for my bad English)

Sudden Death Syndrome.
when you go into download mode look for product name . if there is no product name than most likely only a motherboard replacement can fix it . probably a nand problem. if the flash counter is 0 and there is no custom binary , current and system status official. you can probably get a warranty repair through samsung.
If the product name is there than you may be able to restore your phone by flashing an emergency rescue firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6.

Hi all
thanks for all,
I got the solution , i Flash bootloader with odin.
Now my phone is stared but not getting able to register in Mobile network , seems my IMIE number is lost ,
I have old nandroid backup i am going to restore to store my IMIE
Thanks All for your help
Hate to break it to you, but restoring a nandroid isn't that likely to bring your IMEI back. If you're very lucky, flashing a stock rom for your country/carrier (if you're already running one, flash others) might bring it back if it's a case of temporary IMEI loss. If not, many mobile repair shops (not Samsung service centres) should be able to write the IMEI back to the device relatively cheaply. And if not, a Samsung authorised repairer can do it (or they may replace the motherboard which has already been suggested to you), but that can obviously be somewhat expensive.
Or if lucky op might find a efs backup somewhere in internal memory
