uhoh...blend to cm9 brick?

Was attempting to update my dads phone to the latest cm9 over at rootz ...hes running blend ics, i booted into recovery and flashed cm9 and gapps and rebooted to black screen with only the blue led? I know your supposed to have stock cwm and i flashed in rouge is this my issue? No recovery, download mode, or even a bootloop just a black screen with a solid blue led...:-( im not terribly worried as im a tech at an indirect store and ordered him a new one cas his gps is wonky but i was like 2 seconds from doing the same thing to mine. Am i hard bricked? I dont have a jig, is that my only hope?
Thanks

So you powered off, held volume down and power and you can't get into download?

I'd try a jig if you can get one, or they actually are pretty easy to make, I made one to have on hand and it's nice to have. But it sounds like you could get a phone swap before a jig would be shipped

Indeed. When i hold vol up and power or vol down and power, the blue led blinks once and stays solid. I no longer have access to either dl or recovery

Send it to jtag. Mine was hard bricked with only getting the blue led and they brought it back.

This is how you get your phone working after you brick it!!!!
If all u see is the blue light of death.... take your phone to a REAL sprint store... the ones that have the tech support on site, tell them you got an over the air update, went to bed, woke up and ur phone was like that. a jig wont work. they are not going to give you a hard time. as long as your phone is in decent condition... they will charge u 35$ and give u a new epic touch 4g. it happened to me. i dont have insurance, it is covered under the manufactures warranty. so nothing to fear. just have 35$ ready. give thanks

I have a friend that is also a tech. He said the same thing. As long as you can't power up, that means they can't either. It should be covered.

I suggest that you watch Qbking77 videos before flashing any roms your unsure about because he said you first have to install CM7 on it first then install CM9.

I think this is a great suggestion but the only problem is people seem to not want to read OP's, read threads thoroughly or even want to watch videos. Unfortunately its easier to ask repetitive questions and sometimes just leap into things with out doing proper research.
Hey if I had a 200 phone which is 350 or more on the streets with no insurance. You can best believe I am being careful and reading everything twice before I start flashing...lol

Also I'm pretty sure you flashed a rom for a different phone because the AOKPs for our phone are named something like aokp-hercules-selfkang_620 (the numbers at the end vary)
Edit: yeah you definitely flashed for the wrong phone. Just because you're in a Galaxy s ii forum doesn't mean its the correct one sorry about your phone but you HAVE to read before flashing hopefully this will be a good learning experience for you. Again sorry about the brick
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I Googled that filename and I'm getting an I777 build of AOKP. I'm pretty sure you can't flash I777 builds on this phone. You're probably hard bricked.
Read, read, read before doing anything other than using the stock software!!! Always make sure you are flashing something made specifically for your device! I hear some of the Skyrocket builds are compatible, but I would double check, and then triple check. Or do what I do and just stay away from them to be safe.
Someone else can confirm whether I777 ROMs work, but if not, you will need to try a warranty replacement or get it JTAGed by MobileTechVideos.
I'm not sure why you were trying to flash an old build anyway, they are on Build 39...but that's another story. Good luck, hope you get it worked out.

Before trying to help you allow to ask two questions: Does your PC "see" the phone? If so as what?

nope. pc does not detect anythin

nope nothings happening. no pc detection no powering on NOTHING.

lol, you done goofed. next time you should only flash things that you find in tmo gs2 forums. ahaha. You defs need a JTAG unless you can get it in download mode. Also, WRONG SECTION.

Questions go in the Q&A section

You might need a S RIFF Box JTAG Boot Repair/Unbrick, make some searches in your area or on the internet to find a qualified person/company to do that for you.

This is not his problem that he is experienceing. If it is not powering up at all then it is truely a hard brick.
I did this to my phone last week and no matter what I tried, i could not bring it back.
check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707021
I almost gave up and was willing to try to do a warranty exchange (knowing it was not going to be honored).
Sent it to the guys listed on my thread. I guess you have to have software and hardware to basically rewrite the firmware on the phone then put a stock ROM on it.
Luckily I had a restore point already on my external SD card and was able to get everything back.
Its not cheap but it did work for me!

Its really unfortunate but this type of thing happened to my friend and he had to get an entirely new phone

Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 Won't turn on

I flashed a new ROM, everything went alright, no error of anykind, when I rebooted the phone, the screen goes black, no vibration of anykind. I already tried taking the battery out and waiting 30 to 60 secs, hitting the power bottom without the battery then putting the battery right in and trying to get into recovery mode.
Everytime i plug the phone into the computer via USB, the computer makes a noise like it recognized the device but then asks me for the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers. I think i found those, not sure yet... Please help... I can't sent the phone to customer service since i rooted the phone my warranty is void.
Help please.

Bricked take it in play dumb they won't know your rooted its dead. JTAG will fix it 50 bucks I think. Weird it booted and was fine then won't boot. If you take it to T-Mobile play dumb they don't know any better. No wanted damage or cracks they'll replace it. Just call they'll mail one to you.

The issue was that he installed the wrong rom on his device. Happens all the time with the t989. He probably flashed a rom for an i9100. Both devices are marketed as the samsung galaxy s2, which confuses new users.

Try using Odin to flash the stock ROM. can you get it in download mode?

hello everybody
can someone help me, i was running fl24, then i wanted to update to official jb and i got and error on the manual update. What do i do so i can get this phone back in working order

Find a one click in the development forums of this phone. Put tour phone in download mode. Volume down and power. Hold both until green text comes up. Push volume up. Connect to the computer and run the one click. Btw you can find rhe one clicks on rwilcos website.

hi everyone -
i have screwed up royally. after reading and reading and searching and searching (all day - my eyes are bleeding at this point)...i have decided to take a shot and post and see if there is a solution out there.
please accept my apologies ahead of time if this has been covered somewhere else, but i am at a complete loss and really need some guidance.
my phone is bricked but i have not found an exact scenario to mine.
on boot, my phone displays the same as the image above that @stevediaz posted.
i can access the download menu (cannot access restore menu) BUT my device is not recognized by any machine or by odin, so i am unable to flash anything on it and i have a steady blue LED light.
is there a work around to this? is there anything i can do to get odin/my pc to recognize my device? if i can't fix it myself i plan to send it to mobiletechvideos before i completely give up and bury my beautiful brick.
i have rooted my devices before and have never bricked a phone. i'm pretty sure i just used the incorrect rom which is a horrible terrible rookie mistake...one which i am terribly embarrassed about.
i will never make this mistake again! ever ever ever. i am looking at my beautiful phone just sitting there looking at me with accusing & accurate eyes. sighs.
if posting this here is not kosher, please let me know, but i figured since this thread is the only one i have found with a situation resembling mine, it would be a good place to start.
thanks in advance for any help offered.

Does your device display a yellow triangle before the screen above and say GT-i9100? You already have the blue brick of death, so mobiletechvideos is your only hope, because right now your phone has drivers from the international version which disables the usb so the pc will not recognize it. After getting it back from mobiletech, ensure you flash something from this forum ONLY. It must be from the Epic 4G touch SPH-D710 in order to work on your phone.

Hard-bricked GSIII?

Hi, I was rooting and installing a custom ROM on my fiancee's GS3... And I clicked the wrong version (19300 because they were right next to each other). I ran all the way through the aroma install and it asked me if I wanted an automatic reboot so I said yes. Now the phone won't turn on, go into download mode or anything. When I plug it in, the LED only comes on if the battery is out.
Is there something I can do? Would a jig fix this? Would a local phone repair shop be able to fix it relatively cheaply? I know it's a total n00b mistake but I've rooted about 9 phones before with no problems.
Please help!
