Alright... heres the situation, I have an Samsung galaxy s2 LTE i7R2 from Rogers... rooted.. worked fine. tried to flash a rom after erasing all data... and now my phone wont turn on, cant boot whatsoever.. tried pulling battery and holding the volume buttons and plugging in usb to download boot and no dice...
ive had this thing for 3 months its for sure not the hardware... anyone know how the hell i can fix this situation without returning my phone... im not a dumby.. but i feel sort of dumb for trying to put a i777 rom on my phone and not realizing it until my phone doesnt boot anymore... uhg... someone please help me
Flashing a 777 rom is a hard brick so no you can't save it you f'd up jtag is your only hope

one of you guys have to be smart enough to find a way around this
uhg... i guess ill just take it back to rogers and say it crashed..
Uh oh, here it comes....
Its just common since to not flash anything for any other phone. You learned the hard way instead of reading.
oh believe me.. i was reading up all day.. i am not a tech noob either, i deploy computers for a living... i just had so many windows open i downloaded the wrong zip because i was checking other roms and features out... blah i guess ill just make a USB jig..
Jig won't help you you have damaged your partitions and can only fix with jtag why won't you listen I'm not stupid dude I been around for a while

But there are no i777 roms in this forum. You would not look on the MAC forums for Lenovo support would you?
Okay so the USB jig wont work at all... damn... whats jtag.. i wonder if rogers will even take my phone back

Yea i have looked through google... its a hard brick so not much i can do at this point.. i was thinking a USB jig would get me to download mode... but im being told other wise.. blah this sucks
I suggest sending it off for jtag. You knew the risk, now pay the price. Its an expensive lesson. But a lesson learned hopefully. you can probably get your phone back instead of trying to con Rogers out of a new or refurb phone.
There's another one for noobs/ people who don't listen or read other peoples mistakes! Huh way to go to make skyrocket owners look like we like bricking our phones.... :thumbdown:

Ok first of all relax on the hate... im not making anyone look back but myself, i clearly made a simple mistake which cost me a working phone, not much i can do now... i may still try to USB JIG and see if i get anywhere... if not then i will send it in i guess.. anyone know the cost of a Jtag... and what are the chances of rogers just replacing it.. or reflashing it
Seriously.... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-jtag-brick-repair/
This was recommended in the past. Next time search before you post.
Well i appreciate all the suggestions and help.. and sorry for the hostile people who clearly need to get girlfriends.. like calm down its a question first of all, second of all not everyone has time to spend 9 hours researching bricked phones, I agree i should have taken better steps towards not bricking my phone.. my bad, i guess JTag will get this one... or i will send my phone in to rogers most likely for repair..
It only takes 10 seconds to GOOGLE. Just saying. Its just thread after thread after thread of people flashing the wrong rom, asking for stuff that is right in front of them, or posting threads in the wrong forum all together.
I accidentally flashed a ROM for the Galaxy S II SGH-I777 instead of for the Sykrocket. Now my power button won't work at all. I'm afraid I may have completely hosed it. Anyone here who has a lot more knowledge than me have any suggestions on what I could possibly do to get my phone to at least turn on enough to flash a skyrocket rom?
It's done for. Flashing an i777 rom screws up the partitions and the ONLY. and I repeat, ONLY way to get it working again is to send it and get it JTAG'ed. Search. You'll find plenty. This is a recurring issue with users here, sadly. Just saw a topic yesterday about this.
Try download mode, or a usb jig to get into download. Basically your phone is bricked. If the jig does not work. You will want to consider a jtag service. Thank you, bye bye now.
I did the same thing in January, pretty dumb on my part. Totally bricked.

The explosion of ignorance lately has been amusing, discouraging, intriguing, and worrisome all at the same time.
I did it in January, not yesterday, and yes,it was pretty stupid in hindsight. I had done lots of ROM installs on my old Captivate, for some reason I didn't pay close enough attention to the ROM I was flashing on the Skyrocket and used the wrong one. I'm sure there are lots of people on here who have done the same thing but haven't admitted it.
LOLOLOLOL .. owned.
Why u know reads model numers?? So many trashed phones, what a shame.

I hard bricked 2 weeks ago when i tried to flash a non-skyrocket recovery while riding a rom flashing high
If its been less than 1 year and it cant be turned on go to an at&t store that is certified for warranty replacements play stupid and tell them you plugged it in to a computer to charge and it just blacked out they replaced minw immediately

My samsung stratosphere has been having USB charging problems , and its within the one year warranty , So I wish to take it in. But about two - four months ago, I tried rooting and flashing different roms to it. Well it has binary counter of 3 right. Bought a USB JIG , hoping that it would fix the problem, but after buying it, i googled it more and found after 2.3.5 , the JIG doesn't work. or atleast the one i bought. Can anybody recommend a way to fix this?

I've also been looking for the past 3 months or so. I've tried a few things including this which is probably the closest I got to having something work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036778
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
All in all, I read that the verizon devices are more locked down than others and I haven't found a working root as of yet.
I haven't tried this yet, but I guess it's worth looking at:

Sure thing! Same with you. So far, I still haven't found anything else. Any luck with the p5113?
Err well, kinda.. I took my i915 back (waited til day 13 of the 14 I had still searching to no avail) and walked next door to Walmart and purchased a 5113 :/ sorry. On a side note, if you have that option, I recommend it, you'll save around $200 and if you REALLY need mobile data on the tablet, tether your phone

Haha aww man. I don't have that option. Sure hope they come out with something soon! And have fun with your rooted device!
I hard bricked my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3.
I got the thing rooted just fine and I went to install a new ROM. I downloaded EZ unlock to unlock the bootloader and it all went fine. Then I went to restart it and nothing. It won't turn on at all. It doesn't enter recovery mode or download mode. It doesn't light up when it's plugged into the wall charger or laptop. My computer does make the sound when I connect the phone, but nothing shows up. When I open Odin I can get it to recognize the phone if I press the buttons to go into download mode but then it looses the connection as soon as it says added.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 but it didn't work.
I can't believe I did this. I feel like a total fool. You know that sick feeling that sinks into your gut? Yeah, I have it. I need this thing fixed like now but I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can either use the method you posted or get it jtag'd. Those are your only 2 options in this scenario.

Thank you for your reply.
I really got myself stuck in the creek.
I was looking up the jtag stuff last night but I'm still confused about it. Is it a program I can download or a usb stick that I have to buy? Can I get it from a store or do I have to purchase one off Ebay?
Thanks again.

It's complex, it rewrites your bootloader to your mother board using a riff box. It isn't something easy that you could buy and operate yourself.
You'd send it out to someone. They'd break apart your phone and rewrite the boot image, put it back together, then send it back. Costs anywhere between $20-60.

I just want to thank you again for your replies and your patience with my... noobishness.
I swear, I'm never messing around with my phone again. I had my old phone for 4 years and never fooled around with it. I had this one for 2 weeks and destroyed it.
Is there a company you could recommend that I could send it to? I'm in the U.S., Midwest region.

No problem, glad I could point you in the right direction.
It's not an issue about you messing with your phone. You just have to read more and understand what you're doing before attempting anything. All the information about 4.3 having a locked bootloader and not using ez unlock was readily available. Just next time you decide to root your phone, just read up as much as you can about it before attempting the process.
I really have no recommendations for jtag because I've never had to use it, but I know some eBay sellers can get pretty cheap.

Yeah, you're completely right. I'm certainly going to read everything before I attempt something like this again.
