[Q] Phone wont turn on at all, I think its bricked - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So today I decided to unroot my phone so i used the following method http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ which includes the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
let i found out it didn't flash the stock kernel so i turned to odin, so when i tried to flash the .tar file from odin through download mode, it was stuck on setting up connection for like 20 mins and finally when my computer force closed the odin program, and my phone turned off.
After this my phone wasn't turning on at all what so ever no download mode, recovery or anything
and my computer reads it as OHUSB_DLOAD
i didn't have any roms installed either before i was always on stock but rooted
any ideas or is it fully bricked
thanks guys

[Q]Restoring stock in "android stock recovery"?

so I have my t-mobile galaxy sII and was very happy with the phone had it rotted and everything was great when one day the USB Port stopped being recognized by my computer and every time I would plug it in the phone would think it was being charged and no USB icon would come up. thinking that this was a software issue, and after different process, I resulted in testing to unroot my phone in order to try and resolve the problem. it didn't and now I can't re-root because of the USB problem but it was stock so I figured send to samsung for repair. problem is even though the phone is unrooted now there is still the "bullet kernel" loading splash screen when the phone starts up and not the stock one. so I cant send it into samsung and since I don't have clockwork recovery mod and cant re-root because of usb problems. I'm stuck. but I know androids stock recovery menu allows one to "apply update from sd card" so is there a way I can apply an update that will restore the original splash screen and restore everything back to stock so I can send it to samsung finally? I'd really appreciate any help and if anyone has file that can help that would be awesome thanks in advanced!

Unless someone has stock recovery in a zip form then the only other way to get stock recovery back is with flashing with Odin and a working usb.
Edit: put the zedomax rom on a sd card and flash that, it has stock kernel and recovery. It is deodexed but noone at a store would be able to tell its deodexed.
I am not rooted, I can get into the stock "android recovery menu" using the 3 butto combo. not walking about clockwork. and thats it everything else is stock, the rom the kernel. the only thing is the splash sreen at the start up is still from an old rom and I can't send it in like that. I cant use odin because my comp wont recognize my usb. anyhing I can do in the android stock recovery menu? can I do anything with apply update from sd? thank you
have you tried a factory reset from recovery menu or settings, storage, reset USB storage. ?

tried all of it, resets everything right with the phone but the bullet kernel flash screen still is there on a reboot. at this point I am hoping i can get the usb to work long enough that my pc recognizes my phone for a quick odin flash...
how did you fix it?
I too have a stock unrooted gt-i9300, which won't enter download mode, and which ODIN won't recognize due to driver issues.
Is there any way to use recovery mode (which seems to work just fine) to fix the download mode problem? (I would be thrilled if I could figure out how to get it back to factory conditions. I've even tried factory reset, and still I can't get download mode to come up). All I get is the android with the red triangle.
arbely, were you able to restore your system?

Jelly Bean VZW gone wrong. Help plz

Hi guys,
I used techfanatic9's DIY for going to Jellybean on my VZW galaxy nexus and it worked but I had no mobile network.
After a few attempts they referred me to their going back to stock which used ODIN.
Anyway, reflashing back to stock failed in Odin and after I took the battery out and out it back in (with the cable connected) i could no longer get to download mode or recovery (I was using clockwork mod recovery).
Now everytime I turn the phone on it has a phone a yellow exclamation point and a monitor and I can't get to recovery or download mode.
Can anyone help me at least get to recovery mode again? Odin still recognizes my phone (drivers good) but it always fails to flash back to stock. I just got this phone not too long ago and I'm kind of devastated =(

Follow up.. Did a lot of self educating over 3 days.
I lost recovery. I made a jig using some resistors from radio shack and cutting up an unused usb cable.
Got download mode back and used Odin (which is a very bad tool from my research but also can be good) + a 4.0.2 image and a phone file and restored my soft brick back to stock.

[Q] Unbricking not sticking?

After attempting to clean flash a new 4.3 (PACman) ROM this morning, my phone initially was working fine. However, it would get stuck on Browser and force me to battery pull a few times. After that, the phone got stuck on the boot screen and wouldn't boot into recovery mode either. I was still able to access download mode. I used Odin to flash the Stock ROM (4.0) back onto my phone which seemed to work for awhile.
But after about twenty minutes of it being on, my phone tried to firmware update to 4.1. I allowed it to reset after downloading the update. After that it got stuck again for a long time (twenty minutes) and I hastily pulled the battery because I needed directions from Maps. It got bricked again in the same manner (no boot, no recovery, still had download). I flashed the stock ROM once again through Odin but this time Google Play wasn't even installed. The phone bricked again after a couple of crashes.
I'm at a loss. I'm not sure if I should attempt to use Odin again or some other method. Any help would be much appreciated
Use this, no reason to go back to 4.0 http://qbking77.com/how-to-unroot/unroot-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/

Unfortunately, that's the same TAR file I used in Odin both times :/
Edit: Didn't see the section with updates, I'll try flashing it when I get home!

Odin question

T Mobile Galaxy S4 M919
I rooted the phone this week and later on bricked it after flashing a ROM. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong, but have two ideas.
1. When I used ODIN, the COM setting did not automatically go into COM 6, as all the videos about rooting my device showed. Instead it read COM 4. Might that cause an issue?
2. When I flashed the ROM using ROM Manager (which I just found out was the incorrect one for my phone), the phone seemed to have froze on me and would not leave the download ROM page for over 10 minutes no matter what button I pushed. I then took out the battery and bricked the device where I refused to start all together. I then attempted to unroot which allowed it to go into the T Mobile splash screen, and no further.
So, of those two issues, I am sure the ROM Flashing had a lot to do with it, yet I am wondering if ODIN contributed since booting after the root process did create booting errors which would put the device into safe mode.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data to get past the T-Mobile splash screen.
