i think i bricked my skyrocket after i flashed a ics rom that i got it from other web site. i cannot turn on my phone at all . I cannot go to recovery mode and even the downloading mode. Is my phone completely dead? is there a way i can unbrick it?
thanks
What rom exactly did you flash?
And try a Jig. If that doesnt work them Jtag is your solution
What rom did u use?? Cause some roms from the web have prob with them. Stick with xda for roms

does anyone know where i can buy a jig?

People would be better able to help if you answered their question (what rom did you flash?)
I suspect that "other web site" in the op means a rom for a different device. If you flashed a rom for a different device you are hard bricked and a jig won't save it. A jtag service likely will fix it. These guys have a good reputation from everything I've heard: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-jtag-brick-repair/

2 basic questions. I'm running an atrix 2 right now but have been looking at this phone. I like the way Motorola runs android, and I remember having an epic 4g and I didn't like it. So obviously I don't wanna go stock, is the bootloader locked? And how good are the ROMs that have been released? Any input is greatly appreciated
A far as out community its awesome devs are nice, roms are smooth no major issues. samsungs are easy to root and UN root plus using Odin is super easy if you're soft bricked
I use nexusmod4 btw
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
unlocked bootloader, and rooting is easy. Good rom support and devs are really good. No ics support as we wait for an official release, but in the mean time work is being done from scratch by jo and others in an aosp release
Sounds good, you guys respond fast too, I like it there's no way to hard brick is there? Lol happened once to me with the first atrix -.-

People here are bricking their phones by flashing ROMS for other devices or restoring a backup from a different phone that they saved, and some have checked repartition in Odin which is a big NO NO. That's what mostly is going on here for an unfortunate few. If you read and follow instructions, you'll have a pleasant time.
Edit: Don't feel bad, I bricked an Atrix the first day I got it. I did learn to read more before attempting unlocking BL and rooting.

So just being bored, i decided to flash a t-mobile rom, via clockwork rom manager, now the skyrocket wont even power on. So thanks Rom Manager for the bricked phone, Bad Buisness....
First sorry to hear that man. Ive never trusted rom manager to flash, I always use clockwork mod. Have you tried pulling the battery and try to get into download mode?

Why would you blame ROM Manager for your mistake?
A. Anytime you flash anything (even if its the correct ROM flashed the correct way (CWM)) you always assume responsibility yourself.
B. You flashed a T-mobile ROM on your AT&T Skyrocket. If done right, it usually works, but it still adds extra risk.
C. You said you were "just messing around". Anyone that doesn't want a bricked phone should take flashing or modifying anything serious...not just messing around.
D. Most of the ROMS you are supposed to flash on the SkyRocket give detailed directions in the OP. Any I have sen all say to use CWM and give great instructions.
I don't see how any of this is ROM Managers bad business? Hopefully this will be a good tale of precaution for others before they brick their phone not paying attention. Sorry to hear about your phone, but take the blame for yourself...not ROM manager.

Thanks. I'm not trying to give the guy a hard time. He just bricked (atleast soft-bricked) his phone so I'm sure he really is pissed. But blaming an app for it when it isn't the apps fault starts alot of confusion. If something really is wrong with an app, we all need to know about it so it can be tested / fixed/ avoided / reported / etc...If the fault is with the phone's owner than the phone's owner needs to take responsibility for the problem and stop blaming the creators of useful apps (and ROMS) for the problems.

It bricked because ROM manager doesn't recognize the recovery on the skyrocket. It's something in the first line of the app.
Although, I might agree with you and blame ROM manager also if it let you flash a ROM while it couldn't detect a recovery. That's just straight up ****ty oversight on the developer.

I am so pissed that it bricked that way what a bunch of crap....definetly best to stay away from clockwork rom manger download section...(KICKING MYSELF) oh...I know how to use thats not what happend..but it was a new rom i had not seen..cant even remember the name...thats what i get for not reading up on it more...So for all the noobies out there...

Try Samsung first. Tell them it just derped one day when you tried to turn it on. If they believe you, it might take a week or two but you'll get another phone. Samsung will just fix it and give it to the next person that has a warranty replacement as a "referbished" unit. They won't lose money and you will get a new phone. That is if they believe you.
still a 200 dollar deductible..i could probably smoose out of it...but i would actually like to fix it my self..just for the experience.....oh and the Rom was called Ziggy and Mobstergunz..(minimal triumph.v1.02..state away from that ****

well that was stupid lol. sorry bud you might be able to jtag it but idk good luck
Yeah, you're hard-bricked. A jig would almost certainly be a waste of time and money. Send it to the jtag guy for $50 or buy a new one, maybe try to warranty it out through Sammy if you want to risk them finding out that you'd been flashing and broken the warranty.
Not to rub salt in the wound or anything, but had you paid close attention and read before flashing, you'd have noticed that you were about to flash an SGS2 kernel onto a SR, and riding full-speed on the train to Bricksville.

Not to be an advocate of noobs... i was kinda confused at first too. BUT never took rooting and flashing as a joke so I read and read... took me a week or so before rooting (already reading up on skyrocket and S2 prior to purchase though) and more than 6 months of reading before flashing Embryo 6.
Rooting is the new cool aid... wish some people will quit trying to be cool and really understand what they are doing. Most noobs just wants to brag that they have a custom rom as though it elevates their standing in life. Geeez.

Did not go well because some keys are not working, and else..
Android 4.0.4
Baseband I9100xxlq6
Kernel 3.0.15-I9100xwlpo-cl913058

Im trying to get it back to stock, to get everything working well. I tried installing CWM with Odin and got FAIL message.
Any recommendations on how to do it?

im surprised it booted up at all, it shouldve of been hardbricked
read the sticky in my sig on returning to stock, read the whole op, espicially the troubleshooting sections.
if it doesnt work you would need a jtag repair, link in the 1stop sticky in my sig
edit: read this thread to see if it fits your situation, possible fix if returning to stock fails Odin Crashes at "Getting PIT for mapping
You are so lucky it booted! Christmas came late for you my friend. Hopefully you are able to successfully get it back to stock

Im not the responsible for doing that, my friend gave it to me like that, and Im trying to fix this.. I think they used a JTag computer or something. Im also impressed it boot. I have read a lot, but Odin doesnt seem to work. Im trying from CWM now.. Will i need to install new bootloaders or ill be fine with stock modem/kernel and FW?
Are you sure you're talking about a Skyrocket?
It sounds like you got an I777 in your hands, and Skyrocket is I727. Only I777 would even boot if flashed with I9100 build, Skyrocket would die. Triple-check it before you hard-brick the phone.
I agree with you.
OP
on the back battery cover is it smooth or is it textured.
Both will say galaxy s11
all of the above is true, you are lucky if it booted most people have HARD bricked from installing that
