[Q] Is it Well and Truly Bricked?!?!?

Whilst messing about with my phone earlier, I think I may have well and truly bricked it.
Its not turning on at all, so I cant get into recovery and when I try to use one of the 'unbricking' tutorials, I connect it to the computer (winxp) all I'm getting is it recognising the OMAP4430 but before I can do anything it goes and then comes back and goes again. I've managed to get the OMAP drivers installed but it still carries on showing up then going again... obviously if I cant get past that stage I cant restore it... Does anyone have any idea on how I might get it back up and running or is it a lost cause???

Almost same situation here. I went to LG Main here in the Philippines and they said it's a PCB issue and I need to wait for 30-45 days for the PCB to arrived

Same happened to me
I had that problem after trying to update to ICS. I tried some tutorials on internet, but no way. Finally, I sent it to repair, as it was on warranty.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s2 HD lte unlocked canada restarts all of sudden

HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help

There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin

thanks Justin,
I am newbie to android and samsung
Could you let me know where shall i get started ???
also the important thing i will have to rollback to ICS from INDIA and not Canada this time.

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

GB has these kind of issues so better to migrate to ICS/JB....

heating is normal issue, sometimes it goes upto 50 C with me but turning off of phone when its heat up is not a commonly faced issue with SGR.
try changing to stock ICS or use CM10 if still problem is there then it seems to be h/w related problem. if u are having warranty then SSC will repair it for free otherwise they will charge.

heating issue..

about the HW issues no one can tell you the problem without inspecting the device. there could be any problem which can only be diagnosed by inspecting the device. and about the charges if ur phone is in under warranty then SSC (Samsung Service Center) will repair it for free however problem it is. but if ur phone is out of warranty then they will charge according to faulty parts which are to be replaced or repaired.
but before visiting a SSC, flashing stock ICS rom is recommended, first flash stock ics and check that its a software issue or not. if after flashing stock ics still problem is there then go ahead and visit SSC.

[Q] Can any one please help me???

well if you want to spend another 50$ you can check http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ but i think they need to know what device you have.
