You need a jig to get it into download mode. if that doesnt work I believe its hard bricked. Make sure you pull the battery prior to trying to get into DL mode.
What does the phone do? Vibrate or anything?
It doesn't do a thing

Tell your friend to gwt a jig and give that a shot.
Maybe run adb devices while phone plugged in, to see if it gets recognized.
Thanks cozza will do..

Damn dude i finally got the jig together and it didn't work... He's really bummed.. I just told him to smash his phone and call t mobile and get another one under his warranty.. That's the only thing i could think of.. Btw i will be getting a galaxy s2 in about a week.. I just ordered it... I initially purchased the htc amaze.. It's a good phone but i don't like the connection at all. In youropinion what's the first room i should install? Thanks man.. I will be holding on to that jig btw.. Just incase... Lol

I just bought a T989 off ebay. Came busted. QHSUSB_DLOAD. No reason to believe the seller was screwing me. Called Samsung. Less than 10 minutes later I received an email with the prepaid postage to send it in for repairs. They'll get it today.
I don't know that smashing it is a good idea. If still covered by T-Mobile just say it's not working. Should be enough and it may get refurbished which is better then tossed in the trash.
Well he bricked it and i tried everything to help him and instead of him sending it back and they finding out he rooted it.. He would have got stick making two phone payments.. I mean it was my only other idea.. That jig didn't work and that was the last idea.. Just comes down to reading everything before you flash... T mo... Can and will find out if the device has been rooted then you will get stuck making two payments.. His phone wasnt paid off yet...

I acquired a Samsung Galaxy S2 for T mobile from a friend today and he said he flashed a rom for a European version of the phone or just a rom that wasn't meant for the phone. He told me before that it vibrated and stuff, but ive been tinkering wit it and havent gotten any type of vibrations or anything. I was wondering if I have a complete brick or something that I could fix and make into a win situation? Is there any steps I can do to see if it's a brick or not cause I'm not familair with this phone that much.
Look around, many others have done something similar

Chances are it's hardbricked if he flashed a ROM for the i9100 (the international version). The T989 (our phone) an the i9100 are completely different phones, they only share a name for marketing reasons. To double check that it's fully bricked, see if you can access clockworkmod recovery or download mode.
For CWM recovery, hold power + volume up + volume down until the phone vibrates, then let go of power and continue holding volume up + volume down until the recovery menu appears.
For DL mode, hold volume up + volume down while plugging the phone into your computer with a USB cable (make sure the other end is in the computer first). If you get the download mode screen, you can ODIN back to stock.
If neither of those work, your phone is hard bricked and there's essentially nothing you can do to recover it. You can always try to send it back to Samsung if it's under warranty.
So theres no way to getting out of hard bricked? i bought a usb jig but didnt get me in download mode.. i installed a 1900 rom as well and im screwed now! it connects to the computer and it reads under odin but is there anything i can do to fix this ??
if you are able to go into download mode flash stock rom with odin...

Most likely it's bricked hard.
Only repair is jtag services, there is a link somewhere about $80 to fix.
Flashing 9100 = hardbricked. If the sucker vibrates when holding power, you might have a chance by doing some sdk stuff

I'm guessing it must be hard bricked cause I've been charging it an nothing has happened an when I hold the power button down I get no vibrations or any type of interaction

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?
Nikhil
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?

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:

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.

Yes, It was my nephew's s3. He was blindly flashed it, now He asked me to help him, and I am asking any one in here know how to get it power up and into download mode.
I think that flashing the wrong radio version could fry the whole thing dead permanently.
However, if you can get ADB to recognize the device you may be able to get it working. See if you can get adb to recognize the device at all, if you can there may be hope.

Sorry many that have flashed international have been hard bricked if they can't return on. Mskip has a toolkit but if it won't turn on then it's hard to flash though.

Does any screen come up? If it's hard bricked, just bring it to the store, and show them. They'll probably try a new battery, and if they can't boot it up, then they may replace it.
Worst case, they say they won't replace it cause you messed with it, and you're back where you started.

Cause the USB dongle will put you straight to download mode. From there you can flash the proper ROM.
Anyway, if you can't get in to download mode, can't boot up to anything, and especially if ADB can't find your phone, then you might have just gotten yourself a very expensive paperweight.

The same thing happened to me a year ago, I flashed the wrong Kernel to my T-Mobile Galaxy 4G, you need a (JTAG Service). Go to this website and contact the guy he will help you get it working again, good luck.

I did the same thing, quit wasting time, you need a Jtag service period, if you can't get into download mode, Odin and Adb IS NOT going to work. It will not see the device. Go into device manager, if you see this QHSUSB DLOAD, you are seriously bricked, only Jtag can help it. The usbjig will NOT work with this issue, I have tried.

This is the correct answer, Jtag or return are the only options.
