HELP! i think i bricked my new galasy s 2

i just bought the tmobile galaxy s 2 and was trying to root it. obviously i did something wrong and now its stuck on a black screen. it will not power on AT ALL and when i plug it into the usb it looks for driver QHSYSB_DLOAD. ive tried everything someone please help. i will pay someone to fix my phone if i have to

You need to get in download mode and odin back to stock. Pull battery and put back in. Go to different computer, win XP works best, download/install drivers on PC then plug phone in to PC and download mode should come up.

Also you may have to hold both volume buttons down. It works both ways with and without volume buttons. Search threads how to get in download mode.

It's bricked. I had the same thing happen a few days ago. Just take it back to the T-mobile you bought it from (assuming you bought in-store) and they'll replace it. Seeing your phone recognized as that "QHSYSB_DLOAD" device seems to be an issue with Qualcomm CPUs and happens mainly to HTC phones for obvious reasons. From the hours of research that I did before returning my phone, no one has ever successfully recovered from that kind of brick.

i bought it used so tmobile wont replace it. BUT i registered the phone on samsungs website and it says its still in warranty with them. do you think samsung could replace it?

Yeah I'd do that. They should be able to help you out as long as you don't say you were trying to root it lol. Yours won't vibrate or anything when you press the power button right?

nope it doesnt vibrate. what do you think of this?

Yup, mine wouldn't vibrate either. The only sign of life was when it was plugged into the PC in an attempt to get into download mode. I read that when you get to the point where the phone can't even get into download mode properly(showing the usual warning about custom OSes, that the jig device won't work, unfortunately. It may be worth a shot though if the price is right.

just shipped out to samsung. hopefully they dont realize why its broken and try to charge me for it

Quick Q: Jedi Mind Trick Brick? Phone unresponsive;Veteran User

phone wont boot at all after install. wont even go into download mode.
phone worked perfectly when i was running beastmod 3.0 i believe. i stayed inactive ever since.. i made sure i could get into download right before i went ahead to the jedi mind trick update. like i said, everything worked perfectly. tested out all button combos for recovery and download mode (even did the pulling the battery and plugging the usb method) with success before i updated. yes phone was on 100% battery . it was on the charger the whole night.
i logged back on because i felt like updating and read about Jedi Mind Trick. installed TWRP recovery as well a few days ago. i wiped everything of course, flashed, repaired , reboot. I got a black screen for awhile and let it sit for 30min. no response, so i pulled the battery and tried to turn on. phone wouldnt turn on so i tried to get into download mode and failed. phone is completely unresponsive.
what to do? i'm just stumped now. i was inactive, but by no means am i new to this.

Are you sure your battery has a good charge?

I see by no means are you a rookie but I will ask have you tried to plug your phone in to your pc and see if it makes a noise and recognizes it. Honestly I would assume prior to posting you probably tried everything so it may be unfortunate but you may have to send to JTAG or go through insurance.
Cant see a rom doing that to your phone? Unless you had some hardware failure

Have you tried using a usb jig to force it into download mode?

after flashing:
1) i did plug into 2 laptops(windows 7) and a 2 desktop(vista and xp). "tries" to install the drivers and then makes the fail noise.
2) tried to use the SGS2 toolkit as well.
prior to flashing:
1) phone mounted successfully to 1 laptop and 1 desktop. thats all i tried it on. i used my laptop to transfer the flash zips and my desktop to back up my internal memory since i havent done it in awhile.
2) everything just worked. my only gripe was that my phone was still on gingerbread and decided to update to to ICS
i'm just puzzled myself. i did try everything that i could think of to at least get the phone to turn on somehow. i even went back to sleep and put the phone on the charger hoping the phone would just magically turn on itself >_<
i know i've been super inactive for awhile, but it only took me a few of days to get myself back up to speed and catch up on the new information.

Also would like to add that i used 3 samsung micro usb cords(2x sgs2 and vibrant),jig,2htc cords(hd3 and mytouch 4g) and even my old nokia micro usb. No success but at last the laptop is detecting the phone when trying to install drivers and then fail.
I know i did not download thw wrong rom either its not like i go off to other phone sub-forums to look for stuff.

Chalk this up to bad luck and move on. Its not the ROM. Period. Like pmtr3 said, 20,000 downloads plus, and your the first one to say this happened. Sorry to hear about your phone.

i have no clue what happened. maybe some kind of freak hardware failure. i used to be so into flashing,but decided to use my phone as a phone instead of always flashing.
i did call TMo for a warranty replacement, but the SGS2 is supposedly on back order -____- they recommended an alternative device,but not details yet until they get back to me.
this isnt my first SGS2. i got mine during TMo's firesale on Nov. 19th. 3 days later, i exchanged under the 14day grace period it due to horrible data drops and robotic voice. The phone was stock at the time. Data drops made it impossible to download-on-the-go for whatever the professors assigned . 2nd one worked like a charm.

yes....i'm cutting my loses and doing a warranty exchange. Hopefully an SGS3 due to having 2 SGS2's. Usually,they will upgrade to the next device if your current device is not available and you had 2 replacements.
i'm trying to find my Good ol' G1 that never really failed me. i used to like using it from time to time whenever i had my vibrant just for nostalgia purposes.

[Q] Possible Brick

I decided to ROOT my phone, which seemed to be sucessful, and then I attempted to install a Custom ROM (where the problem began). This ROM used the AROMA installer and all seemed to be going fine. I rebooted at the end. I wasn't watching my phone at this point because I'm used to reboots following ROM installs taking a while so I just ignored it a bit. When I looked back finally, the screen was off. I figured that it had just gone to sleep but I couldn't wake it up.
What's worse is that I cant get it to turn back on at all! I've tried pulling the batter, hard reset (Power + volume up and power + volume up + home key). Nothing. Is there any advice anyone can give me? What did I do wrong and is there a way to recover the device?

I'm not 100% sure actually. was low when I started the root process but I did have the device plugged in the whole time though. Do you think that's the problem? I actually swapped my battery with my GF's battery (which was nearly fully charged) so I don't think its a "dead battery" issue. Any ideas on how I can get it back on? Doesn't even show the charging icon.

Plug it into Odin and see if anything comes up.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yes your battery died in the process of flashing which sucks bwcause i do not know what are the consequences of it but seems bad since you cannot even get into download mode. Never flash with battery below 50%. Good thing is though that if the phone does not turn on at all then jist go to tmobilw store say left it overnight to charge when woke up was all black screen. Idk whats wrong with it. Get a replacement.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Pull the battery out for like 2-3 mins then let it charge for like 15 and try to get in download mode... If it does pop odin open and flash stock image. You can find it under the stickies in dev section.
Sent from my SGH-T999

I wasn't able to resolve the issue but I was able to take it back to the TMO store and just swap it for another one. The guy didn't ask too many questions. Crisis averted but it's made me hesitant to flash on this again so soon. I've rooted and flashed dozens of Android devices for myself and others over the years but this is the first time something like this has happened to me. Being careless I suppose. When I get my nerves back up, I'll be back.
Thanks for all the help you guys offered. I appreciate it.

Phone Wont turn on :(

So I updated my phone from CM10.1.0 to CM10.1.2 today. I used the updating feature found in settings.
Everything seemed to go well, the rom updated, phone rebooted, and 140 or so apps updated. Got to home screen and everything works fine. About 5 mins later the phone shuts down. I turn my phone on again, 1 app updates, and I get the home screen. I checked my email and such and put my phone in my pocket. About 5 mins later I notice my phone has turned off again, cept this time now it won't come back on :/
I've searched google and some people point to the battery being the culprit.
http://www.sebertech.com/2013/03/sam...-problems.html Issue #16
and
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...turn-help.html
Both say to remove battery, plug the phone in, watch for the charging light to come on, then reinsert the battery. This doesnt work either.
If I take my battery out and plug in the charger, the charging light does come on. If I hold the power button down in this state after a few seconds the light will turn off until I release the power button. With the light on and after reinserting the battery the light goes back out after a few seconds. I just went and got a new battery, but thats not working either :/ I havent been able to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
If the update bricked my phone would it turn on and work just fine before dying? I used a data connection just fine after the update.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The rom shouldn't be an issue at all because CMTeam... Why would they do such a thing.
When you updated from 1.0 to 1.2 did you:
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before you updated.
reset permissions via Custom Recovery after update?
I saw a few people with S3's that went through exactly the same problem but it turns out the phone's main-board was fried because of a corrupted NAND right after a flash.
If there's no haptic feedback or led when you try to turn on the phone ( With a battery ), it's a possible brick but its not super-bricked.
If you put a usb / charger on the phone with no battery in it and it indicates a red LED. There is a possible 50/50 you can restore it but
it'll cost around some 40-60 bucks for having it JTAGGED.
If there is no LED when the phone's plugged to a charger wall port / USB via computer with no battery.
It is completely dead and you'd wanna send that in to get a brand new phone.
It just looks like you need it JTAG Repaired.
Hopefully others would have a better and possible way of finding what happened. Because mines would be a last resort
type of thing and its the only thing I know when the SIII Bricks after completely doing a clean flash or if the phone ends up dying
for no reason after a flash.

I used the method provided by CM found in settings -> phone info, like I have many many many times. I dont remember the full process, but I dont think those options are provided in that method, just download the rom then click update.

You claim it booted up after the flash and everything worked, so it can't be that you flashed a cm rom for a different device. It doesn't even attempt the boot splash?
Have you tried putting the battery in and plugging the charger for several hours? Could just be a bad usb port and or bad charger cable and your device simply is out of power. Find a different cable or charger all together and try see if anyone has a similar phone that you can try their battery in your phone.

Yeh, the fact that it started fine twice is what is baffling me. Though it did turn itself off after a few mins both times.
Yeh, I plugged the charger in overnight last night just in case. I took it to the sprint store where the guy took out my battery and tested it, he said it was bad and that was the issue. As of now I've tried 4 different batteries. My own, a new one I bought and fully charged and 2 borrowed from people at work.

That's really weird.... And none of the led come on at all? Really weird, it's not a brick issue because it would give some symptoms but it's like it's not getting power at all. It could just be a major hardware failure. The power button is defective on the S3 but it usually makes an attempt to turn on.

It really sounds like it flashed an International rom from those symptoms. But you said it turned on after the flash.

I've posted in the CM10.1 thread, I'm not sure if Ive heard anything from anyone on the CM team though. I guess it's possible they messed something up, but I havent seen anyone else with this issue and CM, so I'm guessing the issue is on my end.

I would let the phone sit on the charger and try to boot into recovery and try to flash a tw rom. If you haven't tried that already its worth a shot.

SOLVED: HELP NEEDED!!! Note 2 wont turn on. BadgeProvider and Samsung has stopped!!!!

As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????

Also to add to this, yesterday when I was taking the phone's battery out and in the phone would start booting by itself. Could this be a power button issue? I've only had the phone for about 10 months and never dropped it without the otterbox defender series on it.

From that statement above, having the otter box doesn't mean you'll be protected against drops. Yes it'll protect the phone but still suffered inside the device! I had a friend crack his screen on the corner, with an otter box on with one drop!
Now back to the phone:
Since you can get into recovery have you tried a factory data reset to see if that fixes your problem..

I plan to read all responses as soon as I can because I'm in dire need of help. The phone WILL NOT turn back on. The first day I had the problem it gave me the "BadgeProvider" has stopped working and also the "Samsung" has stopped working error messages. The only thing that was responsive was responsive was my notification bar. I could slide it down turn wifi on and off etc from there but when I hit the setting button on the notification bar it would not open up the settings immediately and there was maybe a 2 minute delay (I walked away from the phone and came back to it) and it would finally open it up but giving me the 2 error messages "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped working. Read online that clearing the BadgeProvider data under "Application Manager->All->BadgeProvider" would fix this issue so thats what I did. Wallah it worked fine.....fell asleep without my phone on the charger and it died but I have 5 batteries so who cares. Woke up noticed the phone was dead then I swapped batteries (OEM Samsung battery). Tried to turn it on and it will not turn on. Tried putting it on the charger (even though it should be a freshly charged battery) and the red charging light will not even come on. Tried to boot into recovery mode and still unresponsive.
As of now I CANNOT boot into revovery mode, turn on the phone in any way, get the charging light to come on when plugged in (I have 5 other batteries plus an external battery charger so its definitely not truely dead battery wise), I cannot get the phone to do anything what so ever. Tried removing external storage from it, tried removing sim, tried 5 different fully charged batteries and nothing.
Anyone that can give me some insight on what the problem may be and a possible solution I would greatly appreciate it.

True, true.....Or, they post the same question in five forums....lol.
What do you guys think about using Odin? Can he get into the phone if it won't go to recovery? Can you install TWRP or CWM, they may automatically set the phone to restart in recovery mode? Just some thoughts....I am not a dev., just an avid user.
Something here might help as well. :

Keep us posted on what you try, and your status. Good luck.

Also if it helps any, I have had my phone restart by itself randomly way before rooting it. After rooting I still had the restarts just as I have always had (maybe once every 3 weeks). Rooting it gave me no errors at all and it has been working fine for months being rooted. Not sure if letting you guys know of the restarting issue is going to help anything but I'm telling you all I know to try to debug this issue.

So there is no power at all, not even a loop. I had a similar problem with a LePan tab, but when I plugged it into my laptop via USB, it would start.....Sorry. Sounds hardware....
Good luck

Thanks man. I'm thinking it's hardware too. Herd of motherboard problems early on with this phone that would cause it to randomly shut off and not come back on.
Has ANYONE had any experience with samsung repair centers???? Do they care if the device is rooted even if its a known hardware issue?
Thanks for any help

I've read a few people having that problem with the phone randomly turning off.
[Q] did you get the phone New or used? If its used you have a lot of people out there selling devices with problems that they couldn't fix! FYI
#2
Does it get recognized by the PC?
When you plug it in? If so then you should be able to try the Kies recovery!
If not then kies won't help..

I brought it directly from AT&T new. And nope. Tried pluggin it into the PC and not recognized. Tried Kies and Odin and neither had any affect. The phone is just completely unresponsive now.
Thinking about trying to take it to Samsung before AT&T so I can try to miss the deductible.

Remove the battery ...then plug the device in to USB connection with your PC...
Then attempt to boot the phone into download mode..
If successful ....then immediately push the rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinsons thread in the development section...
If no download mode exists while attempting boot with the battery removed ...then the likelihood of device damage is high...
This of course does not rule out the possibility of a stuck power button ...but that hardware failure generally presents a repeated and uncontrolled loop which in this case we are not seeing...
Odin mode failure generally means a defective or damaged Chipset...g

Ok since you want to take it in to Sammy. And you did state you got it New from the AT&T store. Then you can take it into one of the DSC. (Device support center)
Check HERE:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429&cv=820#fbid=CS_QLPeF54-
Hopefully there's one in your area. I have one like 10 mins away from me
Hopefully they can help you get back up and running. No charge either. It's a warranty center. Member no Rom talk in there.. LOL:sly:
But if they can't get it to turn on you'll be getting another the same day. Takes about a total of 15 minutes and you'll be on your way with your new toy!! Yay and good luck to you. Lety us know what you're outcome is!
Just my 3¢® <_>

Got a new phone. It was a painless process. Just walk in play dumb and talk as least as possible. They never asked a question about rooting. I'm guessing because I seemed like an idiot . Going to let it do all the updates it can then going to root it tomorrow using CFroot.
Thanks all for the info.
Anyone reading this in the future let me know if I can help in anyway.

Glad you got a new device ..and for the record ...I personally believe you had a bad device from day 1...
Normally I would frown on anyone taking back a device that has been modded ...but I can see no evidence in your case that indicates your doing anything that would break your chipset ...
And I know that others feel the same way ...
You tried your guts out ...and the device just didn't act properly from day 1...
Please place a "Solved" in the thread title if you don't mind ...
That way ...everyone knows the issue has been corrected ..
Many thanks ...and....
Happy flashing ....g
