Okay long story short, I was flashing Kang's Bullet kernel to my phone without the battery cover on (I know, I'm a dumb ass) and go figure, the battery pops out. I put the battery back in, and the phone doesn't boot as I sorta expected.
When I plug my phone into the computer it shows up as a qhs_usb device but it didn't have drivers. I searched around, found the drivers I needed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14909282&postcount=19 . So now my computer and Odin recognize my phone, but when I try to flash the stock kernel back on the phone it gets stuck on "Setup Connection". I'm having the exact same issue as this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19091572&postcount=7
Does anyone have any insight as to how to get around this problem? While doing some more searching, I read that a USB jig may work. Will that work with our phones or is that only for the first gen Galaxy phones? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ha. Don't worry. I bricked my phone on my first try too. What I did was connect my phone to odin again, but just rooted it all over again. It worked too. Download the files you need and use odin to root it again. It should work.
yup, just boot into the Download mode, and flash back to stock via ODIN, then you can go from there
a USB jig will definitely make it easier
Thanks for the help so far guys. Okay unfortunately I can't get into download mode. My phone doesn't show anything on the display, make any sounds or anything. I've tried different combinations of pressing the volume up/down key and inserting the USB cable, but Odin still freezes at the "Setup Connection" step. I think its fully bricked because even when I don't press any keys when plugging in my phone my computer still recognizes it as the same device and Odin still freezes. I've attached a pic to show what I mean. The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device I have expanded in device manager is what my computer sees the phone as, no matter what I do.

*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
That will bring you to download mode
or leave the batt. out for a min. or 2. Also try a different port see if that helps.
Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunately I can't get it into download mode. I even tried with my friends jig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&noredirect=1 but it doesn't work. I'm just going to consider this a loss and see if I can get another phone used on CraigsList or eBay.
How I unbricked mine....
I was having a hard time as well after bricking my phone. In desperation, this is what I did....
I went to another pc, my work laptop, and installed the drivers and installed odin on it. Simply plugged the phone in and flashed via Odin back to stock firmware. All it took was swapping pc's. I was having the same issue............
My guess is that somehow since the original pc "knew" the phone, it couldn't decipher the phone in a different state, but it did prove to work on another pc.
I hope this helps you!
wait until unbrickable mod comes out..lol
You can also trya different usb on your PC. I could always find Odin. Good luck

Thanks, I did try this one last time, but it didn't work :\ . I've already given up hope because I did some more reading and when the phone gets in this mode, it means the eMMC (or something like that) needs to be re-flashed and that's something they have to do at the factory.

Yea but I bought it the first day it came out, not sure they would take it back if I tried to return it. Also it's 100% my fault, so I would feel bad trying to return it. But thanks for the advice though.

HELLO EVERYONE!
This is how to UnBrick the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II.
Make Sure you Never UnPlug the USB Cable While Flashing!
YOU WILL NEED:
Odin 1.85
USB Drivers
T-Mobile Stock 2.3.6
T-Mobile Stock 4.0.3
You must be really nervous right now. DON'T WORRY! THE MORE YOU STRESS, THE MOST LIKELY YOU WILL MESS UP!
Let's get down to business!
1. Relax, and focus on what you are doing.
2. Now try to put your phone to Download Mode.
A. Take out and put back in the battery. Then, hold Vol + and Vol - , now plug in USB and you will get to this screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, you must press Vol +, and your in Download Mode!
B. Find a G2x USB and check if it puts in download mode while its off. If it doesn't, you will need to use a USB JIG.
IF NON OF THIS OPTIONS WORK, AND YOUR PHONE DOESN'T BOOT, YOU HAVE HARD BRICKED YOUR DEVICE. TO PROVE THIS HAPPENED, PLUG IN YOUR DEVICE AND SEE WHAT THE DEVICE NAME IS ON YOUR PC. SHOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT QUALCOMM BOOTLOADERS.
2. Once your in Download Mode, open up Odin 1.85 (Make sure you installed the drivers!) Once in Odin 1.85, Check PDA and look for the downloaded:
T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5 for 2.3.6.
Tmobile LE1 ICS FULL ROM for 4.0.3.
3. Press Start!
4. Once it's done, it should look like this.
Now, it should reboot to recovery and delete cache and data. Then, it will boot.
Your now on stock, if this didn't work for you, write in the comments, What device you have (T989D or T989) if it went to Download Mode, and what didn't work!
HOW TO ROOT YOUR PHONE
1) Download This Recovery : ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4
2) Download The SU Files : SU Files + Superuser
3) Flash SU Files In Recovery.
4) ENJOY
Thanks for your time, this useful. Maybe they could check the battery, before anything. For a real noob guide, add in download links for drivers, odin, and files, etc.
Thanks for this good job.If I can suggest also putting 2.3.5 stock zip up.It is easy to root with superonclick.Then flash a 2.3.6 ROM of your choosing.thanks again.
Edit:Or I guess you can just flash recovery then flash a 2.3.6 rooted ROM to get your root.
From a glaxay better than yours.

Thanks this really helped me.
This worked great after the damn forced OTA locked my phone on the white loading screen. I was so worried I had lost all my xmas pics I just took of my 1 and 2 year old daughters. I followed these instructions exactly and after a reboot all of my data, pics, video are still there. Nothing was lost
Now I just have to reroot, remove readded bloat, etc and can enjoy my phone again. Thanks sooo much.

First of all, forgive me for my language for I am upset with myself and hope someone can help me. I did not know where to post this, so I figured this was best place. There was not a Dumb ### (edited by VeNuM) Thread or I would have posted there.
I did some dumb stuff and used the Galaxy S2 GT-9100 forums to alter my phone. CWM, KERNEL, and Reset whole phone to GT-9100 cause things were not working lol. I did not realize there are so many versions of the Galaxy s2. Well after all the garbage I did. I am still able to go into ODIN, but I am not able to get my computer to recognize my phone now. There is no ping/notification nothing, no prompt about wrong drivers. After all of this I looked under battery and it was model Model SPH-D710, now in Odin it shows samsung gt-i9100.
Anyone have any advice?

If you can get into download mode, hold power and volume down. Once in Dl mode connect to pc via usb and see if one of the com ports light up in the one click.

Uninstall all your phone drivers through the device manager or add/remove software. REBOOT. Then start from scratch. It's sometimes easier to put the phone in download mode. I'm not sure why but when I have problems connecting to my phone that always works. And yes... This should have been in q&a.

I'm sorry to tell you this buddy, and it looks like people here do not have enough experience with bricks either. If you've flashed a rom from the international GS2, the only way to fix it is J-TAG. Flashing international GS2 Roms, disable your usb port regardless of Odin functionality.
Thanks for the input xstatik, think a whole group of people moved on to newer phones.Dont know if there are many that know, Thanks for bringing your knowledge

Ok, I know your computer has the drivers, now, download a one click ROM and a kernel tar. Make sure you have a good USB Cable.. Ive had this exact same problem. With a new USB Cable...
open ODIN and find your kernel.Tar for this device. Have it loaded in ODIN BUT the phone disconnected.
Pop out the battery and put it back in
Now put it in DL mode holding power and vol dwn, press vol up to go into Odin mode
With the new cable connect your device
Look at the odin window and you should have a yellow COM port.
Flash the kernel. After it passes, and reboots, follow the same steps above and now flash your stock ROM
Reason being, if you don't have the proper kernel for this device, the ONE CLICK ROM will most likely fail. If you follow this exactly it should work. Good luck.
Yes the phone is bricked (when I developed for this phone I bricked it so I know). Either try the jtag or get another phone. This isssue has been covered in the q and a (where this SHOULD have been. NOT development. I am moving it though...). Also, theres no reason for the language you used. Please read the rules again and follow them. Good luck.
Closed.
Greetings.
I have been surfing through and through the internets for the past three days, reading other people's posts with similar problems and still haven't been able to find a solution. I'm probably doing a single detail the wrong way and that's what's keeping me from enjoying my phone.
Background:
Rooted Arc s, Locked Bootloader. I've been using Ultimate HD 2.0.3. for 3 months now and it has started to be a little buggy and it would auto-reboot out of no particular reason. Anyhow, I saw that there's a newer version of the Ultimate HD, so i followed Jared's steps on how to apply the update, hoping that the update would fix my problems.
So, I've downloaded the zip file, placed it on my SDcard, backed up my data.
Rebooted into Clockworkmod recovery. Installed new mod from zipfile - haven't rebooted at the end of installation - went back into CWM, wiped dalvik cache, wiped Cache Partition. Whoa, that was nice and easy, time to reboot. Turned off the phone. Turned on - stuck at SONY logo.
This all seemed to me very fixable. But I can't find a way to get into CWM so that I could just return to one of my backups, nor can I flash a new firmware over the existing. (The LED doesn't blink the signal for CWM).
Out of, lets say, 20 times I've tried connecting my phone to my PC, only 3 times have I gotten the solid green light (And then Flashtool would ask me to re-plug the phone, and then, when I re-plug it, he doesn't recognize it). Most of the time it's just a fade-greenish blink and then the phone turns itself on and stays at SONY. (I always plug in the USB cable first in the phone, then hold the -back- button and then plug the USB in the PC)
Any ideas? Perhaps I need an older flashtool version to flash over GB firmware? Or is there an easier way to solve this?
Every bit of help will be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

CWM via x-Parts right?? It is stored in system files so when you wipe everything even CWM wipes off.
You got to use SEUS. Update your device and search for the repair link. This will bring you back to stock rom.

I've tried it, but with a slightly cleaner approach. I DL'd and installed SEUS on my laptop (which hasn't been used to this kind of purpose before).
Started SEUS, connected the device for the first time, as explained, laptop recognised it as a SEMC device, SEUS recognised it, checked it and said the software was up to date. I'm not certain if this should have happened, anyho, I've tried connecting the device again for the newly installed Flashtool, but now it's back to the fade-green blink and SONY routine.
Maybe I need a different driver for the device? Perhaps my laptop has marked the device as "problematic" and doesn't want to cooperate with it or sth?

My main problem is that I cannot connect the phone properly. I hold the back button, plug the USB in, and the PC doesn't recognise the device. I think that, after the first time i plugged it in, something went wrong.
EDIT: I don't get the solid-green light i should be getting, but instead a flash of green and boot till SONY logo.

You have to keep trying because flashtool does not recognise the device 100% of the time. Try restarting your computer or removing the battery from your phone before trying to connect your phone to your computer.

And only connect your device when you're prompted to by flashtool... Not before.

I've tried deleting the "unknown device" drivers (that's how the PC recognises it), and replugging afterwards, but nothing happened.
Although, i've started up SEUS, came to the "plug in" step, and instead of pluging in the USB in the PC, i plugged it in the phone and then in the PC: I got a solid green light, PC installed and verified the device as SEMC device, but SEUS didn't move a muscle.
I'll try on a fresh PC, might just do the trick.
Thanks all for the help, keep the advices coming, very much appreciated
I've been deleting the "unknown device" 's drivers and replugging my arc and, well, it was mostly luck. On one attempt SEUS recognised the device, ran it's check procedure, and gave me a "everything's up to date" answer. There was no 'repair' button. Image included in post.
While i was at it, i decided to try my luck with flashtool aswell. after a series of no-recognition at all, i got some attempts through, but no flashing occured. and then once i got a 15-20% of flashing done, before it was interrupted by dont-know-what. image included aswell.
Any ideas? My bootloader is locked I think, i've found a post to fix it with an unlocked bootloader, but i've got no idea how to unlock it if i can't access my phone.
P.s: my SEUS is in my native language. the translations would be:
Finished! There is no new software available for your phone. Your phone already has the newest available software installed.

PC Companion also has the option to repair firmware. Try it.
FIXED. Hate it when someone posts an issue, solves it, and then doesn't explain how he did it.
Anyho, this is all about patience and determination. I've installed an older version of the Flashtool (0.6.) on my laptop and i was getting about 5% of the flashing procedure completed. From time to time i'd get more than 5%, until eventually i got to 100%, now my device is working on a so-far stable GB.
Details: I would first plug in the USB in the PC, then hold the back button, then plug in the phone. I kept the back button pressed during the entire flashing procedure, not sure if it helped, but hey, it worked.
I've also used a stock GB firmware, link was found on this website somewhere on the internets.
So, basically I downloaded cm10.1 nightly and it was rebooting every some hour, this morning when i turned it on it immediately started rebooting and it kept rebooting until i pulled the battery.
so i went to the cwm recovery and tried to flash a backup, but whenever i tried to flash the backup it also rebooted..
then i downloaded the google nexus toolkit and thought i could restore my nexus with it, but since i can't boot into android, i can't get adb access...
i'm really lost right now, does anyone know what i can do?
thanks in advance :crying:
error i get in the toolkit

Too many links I believe is usually a USB issue, either port on PC, port on phone, USB cable, or even drivers issues on your PC (as in USB driver issues). I could be mistaken on this, but I seem to remember reading that was the solution to this problem a while back.

Don't "push" threads, take it easy. It's not going to help if you're stressing about it, believe me. What's your platform-tools version? R16?

btw i got my nexus to boot to stock with a sideloaded zip BUT every time i wanna take a photo it freezes and reboots, and when i try to record a video it'll also freeze and reboot, it'll also freeze and reboot if i try to put something into the sd-card through usb, it also makes a loud popping voice everytime it reboots..
edit : it also sometimes freezes on reboot, i think there's something wrong when writing/reading/deleting/saving data with my gnex...
pushing this cause i still need help v.v
still need help.
I have been searching and reading quite a bit here on the forums trying to find an answer to this problem. I haven't found a thread that answers my question, though I've seen many threads with different things I can try. I explain the problem and what I've tried to do to fix the problem here.
The problem:
I decided to give IronRom a try on my tablet. I installed the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
Everything worked great for about 2 weeks. However, one day I went to turn on the tablet and I was stuck in a boot loop. I could get to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S screen but no further before the tablet would reboot.
Here is what I've tried to fix the problem:
1. First I tried going into TWRP to do a full wipe. I cannot get the tablet to enter recovery mode. Power/Home/Volume Up does nothing. I can get the tablet to enter download mode through Power/Home/Volume Down.
2. Using Odin I tried reflashing TWRP but no matter what I did, I couldn't get into recovery.
3. Using Odin I went over to SamMobile and got my stock rom. I flashed it and according to Odin, it was a success. But when it auto rebooted, it brought up the Samsung screen once, rebooted and now I'm stuck with the logo screen on all the time. Holding the power button does not turn the tablet off. I can still get into download mode though.

At this point I need suggestions. I'm not seeing any .pit errors but am not sure that would be worth pursuing. If I do, I'll need a little help learning how to do that.

I appreciate the reply, but I am already able to get into download mode and can connect my tablet using Odin. I was even able to flash the stock rom as the photo in my post showed. So I'm a little confused. How is a jig going to help me? Isn't that just for accessing download mode?
What I cannot access is recovery.

Do you have android SDK tools installed on your PC? If you do you can connect your tablet to your PC via USB and enter in the command prompt, "adb reboot recovery". If it reboots to recovery you can try doing a factory reset.

I don't, but I'd be very happy for a little info on how that process works. Do you know of a guide for that off hand? I can google it course .

If you're new to it, it may seem a little complicated at first but really isn't. Here is a good start on XDA that explains a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 There are links there for the software. One tip, if you know how to add a folder to your Window's path, add the folder with the sdk files to it. That way you can run the command anywhere on your PC. If not, open the folder with the files, hold the shift key and right click in the folder and choose "open command window here" I was able to fix an ASUS tablet that I almost threw away because of a similar issue. Good luck.

Just a question. If I cannot get the device to boot past the samsung screen, and I can only get into download mode on the device, how am I supposed to get the SDK tools to connect to my device?
Odin will connect, but my computer doesn't recognize the tablet as a storage device or anything. Maybe I'm just not understanding how SDK works. All I'm getting are errors saying no device was found.

I haven't been using ADB for awhile and I forgot the particulars. I just tried ADB rebooting to recovery from download mode and it doesn't work. Did you enable USB debugging in Developers options? If not in setting go to about device, tap on build number about 7 times and it will let you access Developers options, there you can enable USB debugging. You may also need to install drivers for your tablet if you already haven't. I forgot did you say your tablet reboots to download mode or you use your buttons? If you can get to any screen besides download you can try ADB reboot to recovery from there. There is a lot of things you can do like install recoveries if you can only get ADB and fastboot to recognize your tablet. There are other people who are way more knowledgeable with ADB than I am. Maybe you can search around for advice. Sorry if I got your hopes up and it doesn't work but I guess it never hurts to try.
