HELP! i think i bricked my new galasy s 2 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

i just bought the tmobile galaxy s 2 and was trying to root it. obviously i did something wrong and now its stuck on a black screen. and when i plug it into the usb it looks for driver QHSYSB_DLOAD. ive tried everything someone please help

I think all you really need to do is just download Kies for the drivers your looking for. I did a similar thing on my droid 2 and I've found that pushing from your computer to your device works well.
I can't post any links on my first post so I can't give you a direct link.
Just google "download kies samsung galaxy s2" and the link for DKSZone should be one of the first.
Also, next time you attempt to root the phone, make sure you have done all the latest firmware updates.

my computer wont recognize my phone. and i cant put it into recovery. i cant do anything with it

Can you put it into the stock bootloader?

nope its just a black screen. ive tried removing the battery, putting it back in, holding both arrow keys and plugging in my usb. still just a black screen. everytime i plug in the usb it says installing driver QHSYSB_DLOAD. then it fails and says "device driver was not successfully installed"

i will PAY someone if they can fix my phone

Ok, this is of no immediate help on your problem, but did you try asking help in the Galaxy S II section ?
Some people rarely check the general Android section and prefer to stick to their device's section.

oh dang i didnt even know there was a galaxy s II section, thank you for that i will repost there

help rooting

Hi, I'm trying to root my DC using this guide... ok well it wont let me post links, but the thread is on android central forums, and is titled [HOW-TO] Get a rooted version of EE4
However, after following all the instructions carefully, and doing everything exactly as it says, I get an error when I plug in my phone and hold the down volume button. Nothing pops up on odin, and at the bottom of my screen I get a message "usb device not recognized/malfunctioning." I haven't heard of this problem in all my reading on the various forums, but I was wanting to know if anyone could help me out.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers, restarting my computer, nothing works. I would love to root my phone, and if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks
I think you need the samsung drivers. Put your phone in media mode and plug it into the computer. It will search for drivers and install them or you can download them from one of the root links.
yeah i've already done that... tried both actually. official and the ones from the root threads

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

[Q] Need Help: Unbrisk Samsung Infuse i997R

Hi,
I have got Samsung Infuse i997R, which I unofficially upgraded to JB 4.2 and then trying to downgrade, got bricked.
Samsung Kies/ODIN no more detects the phone. And its not switching to Download mode either.
I already used Volume Up+Down options as well as Jig solution. Though, display show me to connect to to Samsung Kies but its in vain.
Can anybody suggest me some way out here to bring life to my phone.
Thanks in advance.

You need to give more info on whar happened start to finish. Be very specific. Youre being too vague

I know I have done some series of mistakes here while playing with my phone android but here is the sequence:
The phone was earlier bear GB 2.3.6 which I have upgraded to JB 4.2 directly using Clock mod & all (the steps available on most of site).
After upgrade I came to know that my IMIE number goes invalid; thus o more phone calls were working.
Followed by this, I tried downgrading it after which my phone got stucked in Download mode.
I accidentally pulled the USB cable post which it was not going into Download mode either and displays the warning message to connect to Samsung Kies.
But now, neither Samsung Kies nor ODIN recognizes it. I tries to get into Download mode again using Volume UP+Down combination as well as Jig but its not working for me either.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Had the same problem and seems there is no way out w/out being able to get into dl mode.
I was already on 4.2.2 rom beanstock & wanted to flash a different rom, did all the correct things in the correct order.
What I DIDN'T do was format the system option while in cwm and I have (I think) major incompatibility problems.
ok so if I could get into dl mode i'd could flash back to stock & start over. NOT without a dl screen.
from what I can see & read there is no way out of a hard brick like this.
yes, tried every possible combination of two button, battery in battery out, usb cable in out, different usb ports on computer.
not much help anywhere when in this problem mode.
looking for a cheap i997 & pull the main board & put it in this bricked phone & hopefully get into dl mode.

[Completed] Help - Multiple things.

Okay first i want to say this: im sorry if im posting in the wrong part of the forums about this if someone could move it to the right part that would be great!
Help: Okay so resently I have attempted to root my Samsung galaxy player (Looks like this: Link coming soon due to the forum spam blocker) (Model: YP-GI1CB/XAA) and i used a post by "zebluk" (again link coming soon) and i need some help, the samsung now will not boot it stops at a black screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." is there any way to fix this? Also, it will not connect to my laptop via USB what so ever. so basicaly in most simple terms, I was stupid and got the Samsung bricked, and i need help un-bricking it.
Hi!
So, first thing is getting Odin to see your device. I found this, for getting into download mode..
1) device off, unplug USB, pull out/reseat battery to try to clear possible bugginess in firmware.
2) home + volume down + power (press in order and hold). Takes about 3 seconds. Displays the following.
Unless you can get your PC to see the device, there's nothing you can do. Try installing the drivers again on the PC.
This is the thread you said you used...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884071
You need to be absolutely sure you are downloading the proper firmware for your device. Very sure.
All you can do is try it again...as outlined in the above thread.
If all that fails, ask your question here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-player/help
That will get people who know your device best involved and get your post count up so you can post links and post in the development threads.
Good luck! ?

You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers. And again...in download mode...see if Odin sees it. Also check device manager in windows. Look for a "!" And see if it is there and what its called.
And again, try asking in the question and answer thread I posted above. The members in that area know your device best. They're going to be your best resource here.

Hi! I've been reminded by a colleague that odin won't see your phone when kies is installed. Try uninstalling it and using Odin.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Kies just needs to NOT be running. Shut it it down and try. If not, then try uninstalling kies.
Just a tip.
Just kill Kies in task manager there will 2 software running at background which are kies driven just kill it in Task Manager and you are good to go... 
 @KJ its Correct... :good:

Im a mac user so i even downloaded wine to use odin i downloaded all samsung drivers needed for a connection and odin cant even detect my phone. Im not sure if usb debugging is on in my phone .
