Hello everyone
I have a few years old Galaxy S2 9100 that had the original firmware and rooted. The battery was about 20% and it restarted by itself and was stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried to make it work by no hope. I then tried to enter recovery mode but it gave me an error. I then entered download mode and tried to reflash original firmware through Odin but it was stuck at around 40%. I did it again and same thing happened. After that it was completely dead and won't turn on. I can't enter download or recovery mode. When I connect to computer, it gives nothing. When I plug it into the charger, it becomes hot on the top but nothing appears. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks
Well

Try this:
- Take the battery out
- Fully Charge the battery via any battery charging device
- Place the battery back
And check if it's turning on -=-=-=-=-=-
If yes:
- Check if PC recognizes device i.e. USB port is working now or not
- Go to download mode if it's working and do the odin flashing with fresh files and right settings
- And if it's due to the odin flashing prob from your side, try sideloading custom rom and flash it.
If no:
- Go to service centre
Well, this is just me, maybe wait for other comments too. :angel:
Try this:
Find a way to fully recharge the battery. Then, reboot into recovery regardless if it's stock or custom and wipe data completely. Then reboot. It will take sometime but the phone should reboot to factory default. Be patient! If this fails, you need not worry. Just repost here ok

Thanks all for your input. Currently it does not go into recovery. Do you think if the battery is full charged it will?
Try charging the battery. What have you got to lose?

Actually I went to a phone shop and tried a new battery which usually contains some charge and it did not help. I will leave it overnight in the charger and see. Thxs
Try other battery...or try usb jig.
You might want to try a USB jig. It is like a usb flash drive. Its job is to put your phone into download mode. You can order it from amazon for about 3 bucks

I also had the same problem. The USB jig resolved it in 2 seconds

Was it exactly the same problem as mine? I mean dead phone with no response whatsoever?
I tried the USB jig and did not help. Maybe it needs the battery to be fully charged?

Remove then insert battery. Then try holding volume down and home button while holding power button. Will it go to download mode? If yes, read hubix's tutorial in the development subforum it's a sticky thread.

Next time , use ODIN for flashing firmware . Kies was NEVER EVER reliable .
go to recovery mode perform a factory reset/data wipe that should fix it
Please use ODIN and flash with the one-package file from samfirmware. I did the same when Kies bricked my phone too while upgrading to Gingerbread. It works!

Nope, there is no recovery mode accessible either when Kies bricks your phone. Happened to me so. Just a stupid screen with a computer and phone icon with <!> in between them. But anyway my suggestion above of using ODIN should help him out. =)
I am just sharing my experience and hope it helps.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricking any phone and/or pc. I am not responsible for any phone or pc damage done by my message here. You are responsible for your own pc and phone. You are responsible for taking risk of upgrading your phone or pc. I just shared my experience in hope if it helps someone.
I had bricked my phone once where I could just see black screen and after some tries white screen and nothing. I removed SD Card and SIM Card and kept it aside. I then removed battery and tried putting phone in download mode. It still did not work then I waited 4-5 min and then inserted battery again. Then I tried putting phone in download mode and it successfully gone in download mode. Then my phone was not getting recognized thru USB cable for ODIN. I changed USB port still same issue then restarted my PC and then I connected phone to USB port and finally got Froyo installed again on my Galaxy Ace thru ODIN.
My phone is bricked

I was running phone-bricker 2.7 and wanted to change roms to galaxynexus to try it out. Galaxynexus failed 3 or 4 times to install so I decided to start fresh and revert back to stock and reroot(I think I had a bad downloaded copy). I used odin 1.82(which I used to root initially) and SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3. I put .tar file in the pda slot and only checked auto reboot. When I started odin it stopped part way into it(pc locked up). I restarted my pc but my galaxy would not go into download mode. I did the vol up and down and connected usb and even used the jig that I have. The jig worked before cuz I used it to get into download mode in the first place.
The battery is charged(used a battery charger) but the screen stays black and the phone gets warm but nothing happens, no battery icon, no download screen, and no CWM. My wall charger doesn't recognize it and neither does my pc.
I'm out of ideas.

If you can't get into download mode with a jig, your device is most likely bricked. My brother had the same problem, but luckily we were still under our warranty and got it replaced for free at the ATT store by my house.

Hello folks,
I've a friend who's not a Technical person, however, he tried what he shouldn't have and now he has a totally dead S2.
The problems:
1. Phone doesn't switch on, nor does it goes to download or recovery mode - I tried it all.
2. When I connect a charger or usb - It does start showing the battery icon and while connected to the cable, if I turn it on it stays at the Samsung logo forever.
3. Since I don't know how to even get it to download mode, I'm unable to go any further.
What he did:
1. Trying to upgrade to JB, I think he messed up with the kernel by uploading one which may not be compatible as I've heard S2 has different variants. (He loaded Siyah 4.2)
2. Before doing this, he had connected to ODIN and was trying to load the official JB file but it always got stuck on one of the steps and that's when his phone got a bit sick - it would show "Please connect to KIES and try a recovery" kind of message. And this led him to do Step 1, which he shouldn't have.
I read a lot of posts, tried a lot of things but the phone never goes to download mode. And I've no clue how to try anything else?
So experts, I need your help here and I want to know if this phone will start at all? Can we somehow get it to work? If not at home, can the people at Samsung flash it or something?
Please help. Lots of thanks already!

I have the same problem.
Today i tried fixing a bricked galaxy s2(yellow triangle with exclamation mark on boot) by reinstalling the stock firmware with odin and a pit file.
During the install i got stuck at NAND write start.So i took the battery out to get out of download mode and put it back in.When i tried going to download mode,it wouldn't start,charge,boot,anything!it's like it's completly dead.
Is there any other way to go to download mode without using a JIG?

Sorry to say this mate......you shoulda read some threads.....
If you had, you'd have realised.....
1) you start messing with pit files as a LAST resort
2) you NEVER pull a battery during an odin flash
3) when you saw the failure of 'nand write start' there was still the possibility to recover your phone....right up to the point when you pulled the battery.......
So now you have no recovery mode, no download mode and no on screen indication when you plug the charger in.....
Don't bother with the jig.....it's a long shot under the best of circumstances.....
There Is one thing you could try.....
Take the battery out. Press the vol down, power and home keys simultaneously......and WHILE holding the keys.....reinsert the battery....you will probably need help to do it.
It *might* kickstart the phone into download mode.....or.......it might not.
If it fails.....then Samsung warranty repair is realistically your only option.....Don't mention XDA or rooting or custom roms or odin or anything like that. Play dumb....say you were updating with kies, the phone switched off and wouldn't turn on again.......

Thanks for you answer!Will a JTAG work?If i can find one?The phone is off the warranty.
The way I see it is that at the moment, you own a paperweight.....so best to *try* the cheaper options first....jtagging being the cheapest......
If that doesn't sort it....you have 2 options.....
1) replace the mainboard
2) buy an entirely new phone.....
Basically whichever option you choose from now on will have *some* financial cost........
Sent from my rooted, de bloated, stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and XDA developers app
A 3rd option is to buy a 2nd hand phone with maybe a cracked screen,and use the board from that.

If you mean when you try to start the device normally, in recovery or in download mode, nothing happens(black screen), then yes the next thing I would try is a usb jig. Without knowing the details of what exactly you did when you tried flashing the MM rom, it is impossible to know why you are in your situation.
For the usb jig, just try to have a fully charged battery before you start, pull the battery for 30 seconds or so, insert the battery, then insert the jig. Within a few seconds you should get download mode.

Hi, my tablet SAMSUNG Galaxy tab 2 10.1 , had an error while installing the stock firmware with Odin. Now it shows:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried with kies: nothing, it won't recognise the tablet.
The problem is this: the tablet can't go on Download Mode! And can't power off until the battery is "out"
Is USB Jig good for this problem?
Open Odin, load the stock rom for your tablet, connect it to the computer, even if it is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered....." screen, and flash it.
