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

Uhhhmmmm... have you tried google? You are not a tech noobie, right?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
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:
Android 4.0.4 AOKP
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.

These were origonally from the vibrant fourms a little tweaked they should work with our phones looking for someone to test to see if it actually works
You flash via odin
THESE ARE EXPERMENTAL IF IT DOESNT WORK IT WILL 100 PERCENT IN FACT BRICK YOUR DEVICE NO ODIN WILL FIX IT YOU WOULD NEED TO JTAG OR RIFFBOX YOUR DEVICE TO GET IT BACK
LOOKING FOR A TESTER
IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS DO NOT BE A NUB AND FLASH HENCE THEY WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF THEY DO NOT WORK LOOKING FOR A TESTER TO TEST THEM
I am not responsable for any damages these may cause they are expeermental at best they are based however off the i9000 boot loader and sbl that came with kf 1
if these work
For Recovery - Lower Volume Key + Power Button
For Download - Upper Volume Key + Power Button
that will be your new commands
lol seems like everyone is afraid of this one

An unbricker gizmo?
I heard that for the captivate and i9000, there is a little USB tricking jig that touches 2 points in the usb port area using 3 resistors. This forces the phone into download mode. Isn't there something like that, that could be used incase we hard bricked our phones incase we wanted to test this and it bricked us?
I AM WAY TO SCARED TO TEST THIS AS DAD BOUGHT ME THIS PHONE AFTER I BROKE MY HTC DREAM(G1), AND I AM TOO SCARED TO DO ANYTHING THAT COULD HARDBRICK OR PHYSICALBRICK MY PHONE.
(I would have been happier with an android device that is easier to DEV for though. Maybe an MT4G or even a G2 or a Nexus S. Samsung has completely screwed android to the point that we can't even install cm7 YET)
that's to get your phone into download mode .

Yeah, of course I know, I said it in my post.
I was asking if there is one of those jigs for SGS4G incase we wanted to test this bootloader.

I emply no warentee expressed or written all my work is as is basis.. If u dont like it dont flash it
okay so i thought id try the odin 1 click for my gt 19000 and then it decided to brick im thinking about buying a jig thing to help but im not sure i'll do anything to get my phone back only had it 2 days and bricked i brought it used
i ask nicely for any ones help, thanks in advance
ummmm....you have an i9000 and you used a one click from the captivate section?
that is beyond comprehensible.
uuummm okay crazy i know i couldnt update it i should'a read more into it i know but is it fixable? =/
if the phone turns on at all yes it is normally fixiable with a jig. double and triple check before you flash next time lol
Lol okay thanks i brought a jig iunno how to use it though would i need a different version of odin or some thin and do i need to download anything else like roms or what ever

yeah well just to be sure check your model number and make sure you have the I9000. then go to the i9000 forums and find a flash to stock. and with the jig just pull your battery and put it back in and plug in the jig and that will put you into download mode. any other questions just ask
thank you ever so much, so i just go into the forms on here and find i9000 flash thingy (if you havent guessed im entirely new to this ) maybe i should have NEVER attempted to do this at all its all kies fault if it would just upate my phone then i would be happy lololololol
is it really an i9000? like with 1 physical home button and 2 capacative buttons?
there is an entire i9000 section specifically for your device...i have no idea why you would use captivate anything.
yeah its really a i9000 good phone lol ima bit of a numpty but ill learn from my mistakes just samsung's ****e kies that made me think there was summit wrong with it.
i know it seems silly but can some one give me a quick guide maybe and before i do this again i wanna know if i need anything else apart from my phone and odin ( is there any different versions of it apart from 1click ) maybe summit like firmware?????? thanks in advance
dude. there are f'ing tutorials EVERYWHERE for this sort of thing. of course there are other ODINS aside from the one click. what you need to do, as has been stated already, is GO TO THE I9000 FORUMS AND READ, READ, READ, and get your information for your phone from the section dedicated to it.
laziness is not an excuse.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DID IT i fixed im excited thank you so much for help =) this form is now in active as i dont need any more help xD be the last time im doing that

nice work.....read read read read then flash always
I think I posted this in the wrong forum, I suppose I was a little confused on my phone
I have a US AT&T version of the i727 Skyrocket. I think i accidentally flashed an improper kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369977
I didn't realize I was browsing the wrong forum *sigh*.
Anyway, when I went to reboot after installing the kernel in CWM, I get a black screen. If I hold down both volume buttons and plug in USB, I get nothing. It doesn't seem to put it in download mode. There, it doesn't get recognized in ODIN.
What are my options here? Would a "jig" actually do anything in this case? I can't tell the scenarios it can actually recover from and not.
Hard brick, its done
Jtag or send to samsung

If it does absolutely nothing, i'd say you bricked it which is quite possible if you flashed something for another phone. I don't think a jig will do you any good, based on things i've read before. Not 100%. Maybe someone else will give you some better input.
thanks for the replies. I can't get it in to download mode at all, so I'm afraid it's hard bricked.
Are there any guides to doing the jtag repair yourself? I'm pretty tech-savvy and comfortable opening up the phone, etc. I could get my hands on a jtag unit.
I just don't want to keep bricking it and sending it out for another $50. I'd rather have a solution where I can fix it myself.

I'd hope not to, but on my first try I bricked it. I've never bricked my Nexus S after a ton of crappy kernels. Sigh...
Doesn't look like anyone has figured out a homebrew JTAG solution.

Well, jtag for this phone was just made possible only a month or two ago. There may be a guide somewhere, but I dunno. You flashed something from a completely different phone, any time you do that you are pretty much guaranteed a brick. Just pay attention to what you're doing, man. Read more and flash less.

Right, understandable. Lesson learned there.
I can't tell if this is legitimate or not:
http://www.jtagbox.com/2012/03/page/2/
$50 isn't too bad. Obviously doing it yourself, if you could, would be better. I'd be on the safe side though and have mobiletech (i'm assuming you know about them), do it.
Hello,
I'm brand new to the forums, been reading up on my phone and things to do with it. I've just been running stock everything, unrooted and using GO overlays which I really like. I was thinking of rooting my phone and let me friend play around with it... BIG MISTAKE. My phone won't turn on, boot, power up or anything... Have they bricked my phone and is there ANYTHING at all that I can do to recover it? I was using Kies and have my phone backed up and everything... but assuming it won't even turn on... Does anyone have any advice on some options?

If it wont turn on it sounds like a hardbrick, what did your friend flash? my guess he probably flashed a SGS II rom. You will have to repair it using jtag for 50$.
If you still got warranty you could try using it.
Going Crazy!
Holding down the volume key doesn't work, I can't download emulators to get it up with the phone unable to function or device drivers be updated or detected at all... I've read and read and read and NOTHING is working... I can see if I can create a jig, I think the parts are all around here somewhere... But is that the ONLY option? If it's hard bricked and they've completely messed it up, does anyone know of ANY potentials whatsoever of how to rebuild this thing back to normal?? Please help, I'm going to ASDLKDJLSKDJ someone up... !!! In the meantime I need to see if I can save this thing!
As I said for hardbrick you'll have to find a jtag repair service nearby and send your phone nad pay 50$.

I'm pretty sure I'm under warranty... Pretty sure they're going to be extremely peeved when they find out it's hardbricked from god knows what...
It took a while but I finally found the ordering site for jtag... Going to try that route I s'pose, thank you. Good thing I have an old crap phone as a back-up in the meantime... They don't require the SIM do they? I don't really trust sending that off...

No sim required. When you pull the battery out and put it back in and hold power do you even get a Samsung logo flash on the screen?

go the warranty way. you got nothing to loose
Was playing with my ATT One X, got root happy with it today, flashed an international ROM because I didn't read like I should have, got QHSUSB_DLOAD'd, phone won't turn on, no lights, just makes the USB noise when I plug it into the computer, blah blah blah, same old story. Spent all day reading threads from other people that have had the same issue here, and since I was on 2.20, it appears as if I'm pretty much FUBAR until some wizard much smarter than I figures out another linux hack to fix it. It sucks, I'm stupid, I know, but it's not my main device so I'm not hitting the panic button just yet. What I'm wondering is tho, is there a way to access my internal memory, even if I have to take apart the device? I've used the phone as a camera a lot so I've got a lot of pictures and some videos I'd like to get back. Is this possible with how bricked my HOX is? If not I guess I'll just have to wait until someone gets the QHSUSB_DLOAD fix working with 2.20.
Thanks!

Google mobile tech videos they are the only ones with a working jtag for our phone right now only thing is u gotta send it to them

Try this and see if it works for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966850
Otherwise you can call HTC and have them check the warranty. I had the same error and called them, they honored the warranty on it. I sent it in, and they sent it back all fixed up. It was a very easy process and HTC CS reps were very very nice.
If it isn't under warranty still go with what xstokerx said and send it in for jtag repair. That's about your only other option.
Here is my thread, it may help you.
