I tired flashing back to stock using odin and now my phone won't even turn on let alone go to download mode. Can somebody help me?
letting us know the model number of your phone might help
SGH-T989
Get a USB jig.
make sure your battery is fully charged
boot it into download mode
if you can get it to show download mode, then you can use Odin again
what did you try to flash with Odin earlier?
my phone won't go into download mode or turn on.
I tried flashing a stock recovery file
does the screen light up at all?
When you flashed the recovery file did it finish or fail during the flash? If the cable is plugged in does the battery charge indicator pop up?
No the screen doesnt light up at all, and the flashing failed.
If you plug it into the computer and it says qhd-usb or something along those lines in device manager, it is shot. It will also make a noise (from the computer speakers) like you plugged it in twice.

So I'm screwed?
if flash failed and you turned off your phone(in download mode), you're screwed.
then again, i heard jtag method works..it'll cost ya but it'll work
Anyone know someone here reliable that does jtag??

Do you have what I wrote listed in device manager? If you do I don't think jtag even works.

Sounds exactly like what happened to me. I bought a USB jig off of ebay and it went striaght into download mode on first try. Even if it doesn't work for you, and it's possible it will, it's cheap to give it a shot.

Is my best bet just moving on and hoping the unbrickable mod happens?

Just send it to samsung, they'll fix it fast. No charge either. The device has a one year manufacturer warranty. That's what i did when i bricked mine. Free shipping too.

I can't because I tried and while trying it turns out my phone is a prototype sgs2 T-Mobile. :-(
It looks awesome but no Warranty.

OK so here is the story...
I accidentally flashed the 2.3.5 firmware for the Samsung gs2 i9100 thinking it was for the sph-d710... Obviously that didn't work out very well. Now the phone won't boot. I can get it into download mode but odin will no longer recognize it. I have tried the i9100 drivers, and the sph-d710 drivers. No luck, it will boot into recovery mode also, but unfortunately because the firmware is for the i9100 which has an "ok" button and the sph-d710 doesn't I can't get it to do a hard reset. Short of dropping it in a bucket of water and using insurance is there anything I can do?
Yes I know I am a moron...
Well as for the ok button, have you tried using the home button instead? And have you ever used Odin before?

Boots into recovery mode only, but i cant select anything
ET4G
I did the exact thing as you did. The only difference is that I unplugged the USB connection which caused my phone to brick completely. The moment I realized I was using the wrong firmware I disconnected my ET4G. My phone was useless, I couldn’t boot up in Odin or recovery. What I did I took it to the Sprint store and I told them that I did not know what happened to the phone and they replaced my phone for free.
Honestly, I've flashed i9000 before and I'm sorry to say but youre screwed. Send it in to mobile tech videos for jtag repair. mine wouldn't boot or recognize at all for weeks untilI finally gave up.
Sent from the future.
Yeah i asked this before and what happenes is u lose your radio so odin cant read it..reply it

Hi People,
I just murdered my T-Mobile SII (T989) :crying:
It was bright Saturday morning, was browsing through web, saw update on forums about official ICS update available for T-Mobile devices.
I have immediately and successfully updated my device to ICS, everything went well and was enjoyinh ICS. But, then the worm inside me yapped and from nowhere I started rooting the phone.
This is the moment it got killed and now I've dead device in my hand.
1. Buttons combo doesn't work.
2. Unable to get the device in download mode.
3. Phone is no longer getting detected on Laptop and throws (qhsusb_load / drivers not successfully installed.) error message.
4. Phone doesn't turn on at all.
I know it’s hard-bricked, but please tell me if there is any way to solve this?
Will JIG option work; if the device is hard-bricked?
I am based in India and sending phone for JTAG would be bit difficult, so kindly suggest if there is any way?

The jig is supposed to work in these type of situations.

I went through this and as far as I know the only way to fix is a jtag service. Or if you can jtag it yourself. I made a 301k USB jig and it doesn't work so jtag is the only option I know unless you warranty it.

OP, you had to of selected re-partion hard drive while flashing the custom recovery through Odin. If this is true there is no fix. Sorry. This destroys the boot partion and recovery nor download mode will work. Did you get a failed message through Odin?

send it to mobiletechvideos, they ship international.

Today, my friend, is great as I just got my previously hard bricked phone back from mobiletechvideos! They unbricked mine after I accidentally tried installing a different model gs2 rom to my phone (price is right fail music). If using the jig everyone recommended isn't working, definitely send it to them and they'll try to get your phone back to life!:laugh::good:
Good to here. I've heard a lot of good reviews for them. Glad your back up and running. NOW GET TO FLASHING!

I'm still a pretty big noob when it comes to flashing stuff! I'm on gingerbread right now and am a little scared to death to flash anything :S then again the main reason I bricked out was because I attempted to flash a rom that was for a different galaxy s2. I'm still researching on how to safetly flash different roms and which ones work the best
Can someone explain to me what JIG is?

A jig is a USB chord that you take the chord off and attach certain resistors(usually total 301k) to the micro USB connector. Then when u plug it into a phone it should force it into download mode. It however does not work for this phone.

Download Odin 1.85. Pull the battery out then plug the USB cable in to the phone and computer. While holding both volume keys put the battery back in. Should get you to download mode. But before that try to get to recovery and restore a nand. Anymore questions feel free to pm me

The phone does nothing, no download mode, no recovery, does not power on, does not even charge. I have tried all methods to get the darn thing to boot. Thanks guys for the input. I called tmobile and they can replace/exchange for me. Just hoping they dont find that i rooted it.

If you tried all those methods and couldn't get it to turn on then chances are that won't be able to get it to turn on either..

same thing happened to me when i tried to install a font, no custom room, just a kernel but i can boot into recovery and hboot and phone wont boot past the at&t screen
I just bricked my S3 and whenever I plug it in, eventually, some combination of button presses makes a red LED show up, however, no screen on. Whats even weirder is that when I plug it in, it see's some thing called QHSUSB_DLOAD, and attempts to install drivers for it. I'm wondering if this might allow me to fix it? If all else fails, can someone refer me to a JTAG repair service...
Edit - When I attempt DL mode, I can even hear it disconnect, then reconnect. It fails the driver install though.
Unfortunately bud your hard bricked.

I was making a port from the S2. I changed the updater script to let it flash, it did, and then it killed me.
Update: WOW. T-Mobile replaced it for me! I don't even have warranty left! Yet again, my company saves me.

All I did was brought it into the store, handed it to the guy and said it was broken. Said I had a FACTORY warranty (from Samsung), and that Samsung told me to have the store do the replacement for me. The guy behind the desk said, "Yeah, whatever you stick your SIM into, as long as it's T-
Mobile, your covered. You can even buy phones offline,". It's going to be here monday. Shipped Friday, next day shipping, only 5$. I'm so happy I'm not paying 70$ for a JTAG... Not sure if this'll work for everyone, but it did for me!
I was flashing stock through odin ......everything passed and everything seemed fine and now it just sits with a black screen wont do anything. Tried every key combo wont power up no lights no nothing. Anyone else see this happen? Thanks

all i am getting is a QHS_USB dload driver not found. if i pull the battery and plug into the laptop i get a red light on and thats it. I used the stock rom tmobile .tar using odin. it passed and thats the last life i saw from my s3. any help is welcome thanks...T999UVALEM.TAR that is correct yes?
This is very odd. You say the flash finished and said pass. You have the correct tar file and even if you didnt, the phone/odin checks to make sure your using the correct file to flash. So I don't believe it would even let you flash the wrong image and if you tried the odin flash would fail and the phone wouldn't have rebooted itself. However QHSUSB_DLOAD is the kiss of death so you are definitely hard bricked. This is a real head scratcher.
Personally I would send it to Samsung and get it repaired under warranty. Apparently they are fixing these regardless of flash count due to the sudden death issue the gs3's are having. I would have to say thats what happened to you and the fact that you were flashing is a coincidence. Only because with the info you provided and the fact the phone has its own checks I cant see anyway this was caused by you flashing.
Thanks......I've been flashing for quite a while. My only concern is sending it modified with all my stuff still on or should I say in the phone.
