Hi I have a hard bricked Samsung s2 skyrocket. All I did was erase my data and cache. Then I flashed Clockwork Touch 5.8.1.3 and it worked fine. After that I installed the rooted & debloated stock UCLE5 with a safe replacement kernel on this page via recovery, it wouldn't start. I'll goto radio shack to get some resistor for a usb jig.
If anyone can help me that would be great.
well this suck... so the only way to fix this is via a jtag?

If it does not power on at all, then yes.
So should I pay a guy online or just buy the riff box. Its works with the SGH-I727.

I'm not sure about the riff box. But I think it's much cheaper to pay to have it done. It would probably be wiser to ask these questions in the skyrocket forum..
Moved here to correct Forum...Thank You
Jtag will cost you about $50. See mobiletechvideos.

You flashed a ROM for a different phone. That's a surefire way to gain an expensive paperweight. Next time, please make sure that the ROM you're flashing is for the correct phone. The S2 and S2 Skyrocket are not interchangeable.

Yup, this is your only option (assuming that your phone is out of the warranty period).

yes it is easy to brick your phone if flashing a rom not meant for your phone, jtag or warranty it, hence my last part of my sig
Yea a Samsung GS2 Skyrocket is not a Samsung GS2.

My captivate recently stopped working out of the blue. I had rooted using One Click Lag Fix and sideloaded a couple of apps using the Android Central sideloader, but aside from that I haven't done any major modding. I turned it on the other day and it went through the AT&T screen to the Galaxy S screen, but it froze there for about ten minutes. I pulled the battery and tried it again but the same thing happened.
I called AT&T and they sent me a new Captivate. I now have two questions.
1) Is there any way to get my contacts off of my old Captivate? They were NOT synced with Gmail.
2) Should I flash the stock ROM onto my old Captivate that I am sending back to AT&T? I am worried about them saying that it is out-of-warranty because it was rooted.
PLEASE HELP
Yes absolutely put it back to stock or they most likely will charge you for a new phone. You're going to wanna remove all traces of rooting as that is a violation of the warranty and you will not receive any warranty work, repair or
Replacements.
Sad to say but no. Your contacts can't be recovered if you can't boot the phone.
Yes flash stock before you send it back. You should also find that it may boot once you do, if it does then you might be able to get your contacts back.
On a side note. Should always flash stock before calling att as it will normally fix your issue.

i've done the same thing! but i had 2 phones so that saved me only thing u can do is pay $45 for a jtag service
thats what imma do for my other phone so i can still have two better then getting a new one and its cheaper then an insurance claim which is now $130
but i really screwed my phone cuz in the new odin it says bootloaders so i downloaded t959 bootloaders and used the bootloader section of odin and now my phone doesnt respond to anything nothing at all only jtag can fix it now.......
Im not sure if it would help but try a jig? Or look under the development section for unbrickable mod that might help bring your phone back to life
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Have you tried the download combo and flashing proper boot loaders even with a blank screen? We have seen it before....
You could also try the unbrickable mod to recover. I think the developer will apply and recover for $30 or so plus shipping....

I'm thinking about buying a G2x for dirt cheap because it's got a software issue and won't boot. I'm wondering if there's a definitive way to reset it. I read there are the hardware keys down and power to hold and it gives the option to reset but what if that doesn't work? Can T Mobile reset it or will I be able to in ADB or is it not worth the small amount of cash?
Thanks,
Josh

It is a program that uses your computer to push cwm to your phone. Making it able to boot to recovery so you can flash a rom

Even if the phone isn't rooted it still has a recovery and u can access that by volume down and power.

I bought my G2x off eBay and it wouldn't boot or even charge. Took me two full days to learn how to access recovery and get it to charge enough to get into recovery, THEN get a Rom on it, THEN get it to boot. Huge pain, but it made me learn quick. Oh, how I missed my Droid back then.
Point is, I've never heard of one that couldn't be revived without being physically damaged.

And no, luckily on the G2x it does not have to be rooted to flash ClockworkMod Recovery or to reset/flash a new ROM. If I were you, I would go for it

But that one is just mean but its such a fun thing to do.... its like the ultimate face palm...
Don't know but if you hadn't had the phone very long call your carrier and tell them you updating to ics via Samsung kies and the dang thing hung up blinked and now won't do nothing. You may just get lucky and get a new one cheap or maybe replaced free.... its worth a try....

Help! I can't flash the stock firmware through Odin for returning the phone to Verizon. The USB port on the phone is broken. What do I do? Can I put the stock firmware on my SD and flash it through TWRP?
Yes you can but they can still get into recovery or download one and all but I don't think it'll be a problem.
If not flash an international rom and hard brick your device leaving no trace but a jtag lol jk don't do that

not saying do this, but I always send my phones back rooted.
in fact, when my sg3 had that issue ere u had service but couldn't make call or txt, and this was before the fixes were around so i brought to Verizon, and left TWRP recovery on it and she booted into it!, she actually was looking at the CPU screen telling her how to do it, it said to press power button, which obviously locked the TWRP, so lI said just swipe it, go to to wipe and do a factory reset, which to my very surprise she did, and after about 3 hours with the manager on the phone with tech support, they gave me a new phone.
If you are not in a rush. You could always buy and replace the USB port by buying one through eBay. They are like five dollars with free shipping ha
