SGSII no bootloader - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I have accidentally deleted all internal partitions of my I9100 cause a stupid option called
Code:
SdCard repartition
from recovery, so i have no /system no /data no boot no recovery no DL no anything... :crying:
I tried JIG but no luck .
is there any solution without JTAG services because we don't have it in our country and i won't like to change the motherboard too
and thanks .

Hello, if this works for you.
Turn off the phone. Enter the device into the boot mode by pressing simultaneously the Volume Down, OK, Power ON / OFF buttons, confirming with the Volume Up key the desire to flash.

Thanks bro but my phone has no boot-loader so i can't access to download mode or recovery.
My I-9100 is hard bricked, and the unique solution that i found is repair boot-loader using only JTAG box which is not available in my country.
Is there any other solution?
and thanks

[guide] how to make your own usb jig
If you’ve soft bricked your Galaxy S2 (and can’t get into download mode) or you want to reset the ODIN download counter (so no one will no you’ve rooted your Galaxy S2), or you just simply
want to remove the i9100 splash screen, you can make a USB jig to solve all your problems.
What is a USB jig?
USB jig is a simple circuit that allows you to reset the download mode and also get into it for Samsung smartphones (can work on other Samsung phones besides the Galaxy S2) just in case something goes wrong. On a soft brick, this can save your phone as it will enter into download mode.

Thanks but my phone is "HARD BRICKED" i have no partitions no bootloader no downloadmode binary when i power on my device no splash screen appear, i tried a real JIG but no luck, the only solution that i found is using jtag service and as i said we don't have it in our country also it costs more than new phone price.
So that, i came here to help me to find another solution.
In addition to that i have an arduino board, if its possible to turn it into jtag programmer it can be awesome.
Hope that you can help me.
And thanks

I had the same once dont panic, you can get dowlaod mode with a jig,
if you have no jig, try pulling battery out put back and Vol-down+Home+power to get download mode,
this time you flash with corrected all pc issues and well chaged battery

Well I am not at all in electronics so is there any other solution?
or should I go to Samsung customer service as it is still in warranty?
only solution left is jig for you to try yourself...
do you have any influence at service center??? then try for warranty
in normal case warantee is already void with this type of issue, you can only try your luck.....
You have a simple problem
Hold vol up+home+power for 4 secs when the phone is off and do a factory reset
EDIT: Do you have a i9100 or i9100G?
i am pretty sure you got yourself a soft brick, though i am not 100% confirm. however, since your phone got reaction, i assume that is not a hard brick (getting yourself a hard brick is very rare and very hard).
just get yourself a usb jig, it should be fine. you can refer to my thread for FAQ of usb jig.

Hmm strange, but odin still recognizes my phone as it displays the yellow colored extreme left column. Can't it be fixed through odin by flashing again?
Have you heard about this - "One-Click UnBrick" which I mentioned in one of my post above.

You will really brick your phone if you use captivate unbrick tool
1.Turn off phone
2.Press and hold power+vol down+home key at the same time and when you see some different screen then press vol up again
3.Connect phone to PC and flash stock rom from odin(don't really know if you know that)

when I press "power+vol down+home" it shows that same thing, that is "phone + ! + computer" so does that matter or I just need to follow this command and flash after that?
and vol up need to be pressed alone or along with power and home?
And also can you provide me the link to the right stock rom and if possible not a mutliupload link as multiupload site is not loading for me.

Install Kies and across the top, find the tools bar and it will bring a dropdown menu, just select emergency firmware recovery or something like that. Alternatively you can boot into download mode and flash the firmware via odin. If you don't know what that is, stick with the kies method

Congratulations, it's a brick!
Take the phone to a service center, let them try to JTAG it. It it won't work, they'd have to replace the main board.

If you are unable to get into recovery or d/l mode, it's a brick for sure.
Only JTAG or main board replacement will fix it

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. You dont need the backup. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=13292)
The JB Bootloader. (I downloaded the stock by Ryuinferno)
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.
tried but i died

Galaxy S3 Stuck at Boot Screen (Samsung Logo)

Good day gentlemen,
It seems that my S3 would not start/boot up as it only shows the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo and keeps restarting itself. I rooted it before and it worked but the issue was that when I tried to flash a ROM it apparently failed and then the above happened. Any helps would be highly appreciated. Also I'd like to note that I am able to access Download Mode.

my problem is there is problem with my rom and hence i am getting the same problem mentioned earlier in this thread. i used everything including samsung galaxy s 3 root toolbox kit 7.0
but then also my pc is not showing me phone status.
my phone is just having only downloading mode. no other thing except the "boot screen" available in my phone.
my question is... how do i overcome to this problem? i wanna re-install the stock rom which i already have. and i know how to install the stock rom. ALL I WANNA KNOW IS WHAT TO DO TO GET VISIBLE STATUS IN ODIN SOFTWARE. AS I THINK THERE MUST BE SOME PROBLEM IN DRIVER.(I TRIED SAMSUNG PHONE DRIVERS, SAMSUNG KIES AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 ROOT TOOLBOX KIT 7.0)
PLEASE GIVE ME PROPER DRIVER SO THAT I CAN MANAGE

In that case you need a service centre if reading the FAQS and Guides re Odin and drivers has failed . Probable damaged USB port .

is it possible that i will get this data cable issue resolved after visiting service center?
And how much possibilities to get my phone back in working condition if i will get it to service station?(asking cause i read that my phone got bricked)

Hi read the stickies on how to flash using odin, back to stock rom.

GT-S5830i enters in recovery mode but not in downlod mode

Hi guys,
I tried but I couldn't find a similar case, so I'm creating this thread...
Well I was flashing my cousin's mobile using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583895
So I had to install the "ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6 or above", fine, I followed the procedure and it stopped to boot. It freezers when the Samsung logo appear.
Oks, so I started to try to unbrick it following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840645
However my cousin cannot put the mobile on 'Downloading mode'. Well I don't have physical access to the device because I'm in UK and he is in Netherlands...
First question, is there the possibility that indeed the mobile cannot goes to download mode (even thought it goes to recovery mode), or is he probably doing something wrong?
Second, buying a jig cable is it likely that I'll be able to do to download mode? And does any jig cable works? So far I'm panning to buy this one http://www.ebay.nl/itm/USB-JIG-Sams...zer_Ersatzteile_Werkzeuge&hash=item417e78520a
1) That CWM is for GT-S5830, not GT-S5830I.
Get your facts right.
And since you already flashed it,
well
good luck
2) If you can boot into recovery but not download, you have screwed up your phone big time. Attempting to flash a ROM or kernel may help, or it may backfire and make it worse. It may be your last hope before USB Jig.
3) The Jig is the last hope for your phone. It may work, it may not. Depends on luck, maybe.

I completely agree with @NightRaven49. You have pretty much hard-bricked your phone. USB Jig might not work always as it didn't help solve any hard-bricked Galaxy Ace S5830. You last option will be to go to Service Center. Hope I Helped
Well, thanks guys... I will try my luck with the jig cable...
One last question, I have to download a firmware from www . sammobile. com/firmwares/ . So as it was bought in Germany with no sim card, the correct firmware is 'Germany - DBT', right?
Any firmware should (technically) work on your phone.

You can use any firmware but I suggest you go with one based on your region. Hope I Helped
Here's How
CWM 6+ is only for Ace S5830 (Not i Not c Not M)
apparently we only have CWM5 for our Ace-i (which is sad), of course you're phone will be soft bricked if you try to do so
also Ace-i has a different key combinations compared Ace
Ace-i
Recovery Mode = Home Button + Volume Up + Power [when Samsung Galaxy Ace screen appears, let go already]
Odin / Download Mode = Volume Down + Volume Up + Power [same procedure]
hope i helped
i think ur talking about download mode is not working (vol up+ vol down+ power) !! 1st open odin and add ur files !! pull out battery use that combo buttons (volup+voldown+power) and connect device to pc !!! odin will detect ur device ! now enter battery in mobile and start flashing !!! good luck it works !!!

[Q] Bricked my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i)

Hello,
I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery. After the ZIP was installed I rebooted my phone but now it doesn't get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo. I tried to boot in recovery and download mode but both of them doesn't work. I hope some of you can help me. I bricked my phone before but then I could get into download mode but now I don't.
Thanks a lot

This guide was meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and hence the Download Mode key combination is different. So make sure the change the Download Mode key combination to your own device. If you can force open the Download Mode this way, then you can try installing the stock rom. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Hello,
I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery. After the ZIP was installed I rebooted my phone but now it doesn't get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo. I tried to boot in recovery and download mode but both of them doesn't work. I hope some of you can help me. I bricked my phone before but then I could get into download mode but now I don't.
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Thanks for your help but it didn't work for me. My pc can't find the phone. And I installed the drivers several times. I also tried a program to force my phone into download mode but the program also doesn't recognize the phone.

As you can't enter the Recovery Mode and Download Mode, you have pretty much hard-bricked your phone. Since the above method didn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Thanks a lot! I can get my phone in download-mode now by pressing volume up and down plus the lock key. Normally it's lock key plus home button plus the volume down key but that didn't work but this did!! I can't say how much I should thank you! You saved my life.
THANKS

Thanks for your help but I already got in download mode by pressing the volume up and down key and the power key. So I didn't have to go buy an Jig or go to the service center but also thanks a lot!!
