Ummm, wrong forum mate... And btw, I would say you're pretty much totally screwed, you'll need to take it somewhere for repairs, is my guess.

I just bricked my rooted T989. Nothing happens when I hit power (no display) and my PC does not show the drives when I connect via USB. I have tried vol buttons + power (with battery and [no battery + cable]). Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should try next? Is TMO likely to replace/repair my phone even though it had been rooted?
Have you tried getting into download mode? And what caused the brick?

I was flashing a new ROM and it bricked when it finished flashing. It just never rebooted. I can't get into download mode.

What rom did you flash?

This is really embarassing but I somehow stumbled up WickedRom, which is for the I9100, somehow thought it was for T989, and tried to flash it. Obviously a major league screw up. I have requested a replacement from TMO. I just hope they don't hit me with a major financial penalty if Samsung notices that it has been rooted (it was rooted when I tried flashing WickedRom).

Same thing happened here... I was odining back to stock and the power in my office at work went out... total fail. All Black, no power button, battery pull or Jig will make the phone do anything... anyone find a work around for this... I did this to my VIB before and was able to get it to work again but this just feels bad. Any help is appreciated. Los Angeles area dev's feel free to come play with it.
hey i know im new here but i got the answer... u need 2 odin back 2 stock 4 download mode pull battery plug usb into computer then 2 phone hold vol up and trackpad then insert battery and u will be in download mode also if using CWM dont fix permissions and also dont forget 2 place unzipped recovery file in /system/bin folder and overwrite it over existing file also make sure that cache, data, sdcard ,and system are all unmounted in mounts option of recovery took me 3 days of flashin back 2 stock with odin and soft bricking my phone 2 figure this out hope it helps

perhaps people should have shown a bit more support?
Your fault !
Damn that sounds bad, big mistake on your part though, differentiating between i9100 and T-989 is key, among the other models too.
Mine did the same thing after doing a backup. I'm in the 30 day grace period and I'm gonna try to take it back in.. Hopefully I get away with it unless I find a way to fix it

Only way is to send it to Samsung or get it JTAG. JTAG will probably be cheaper.
Hello every one,
As you can assume I have bricked my phone, now before some of you rage I did look through A LOT of other threads but I have no idea what to make of this:
I flashed a i9100 ROM ( -_- yes I know... but I only noticed AFTER the brick lol ) and now obviously the phone is ****ed, what I would like to know is: will a jig help or not? because it doesn't turn on or goes into recovery mode or download mode.
I was so pissed, but I kept trying and trying until I connected it to the computer and heard the usb connection sound, so I'm asking if this is good, which I believe it is.
I ordered the jig already but I want some input on this... that usb sound has to be good ( or better than nothing lol ), I really appreciate any help.
Sorry the usb sound going on/off when you connect your phone and nothing happening means it is bricked with no chance of recovery. Not sure the jig will work. I have not heard of anyone who got their Tmobile sgs2 working with one.
I don't understand how people not realize they are not flashing a ROM for their specific phone model. It is not like all the roms are in the same forum.
Good luck trying to fix your brick.

well I downloaded a driver and the sound doesn't go on/off now and Odin actually recognizes the device... BUT when I try to flash it just stays on:
<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..

I'm going to wait for the jig and see what happens, unless some other member with personal experience comes in here.
I already said I didn't realize that I was in the wrong forum until after I flashed it, I would not have done it knowingly...
It sounds like you need to have your phone JTAGed. That is the only way to resurrect a dead phone, other than returning it to Samsung or your dealer. There is a place called MobileTech Videos that will do that for around $50. Do an internet search to find them.
I rather send it to t-mobile/Samsung first before resorting to that. I will still wait for the jig because "sounds like" isn't convincing me, I obviously know of MobileTech, but I rather send it to t-mobile first...

Sent it tonight, getting the new one tomorrow.
Samsung really screwed up by throwing the Galaxy S II name onto hardware that has no business carrying the name - crap like this is the result.
Yeah, I9100 firmwares need some massaging to run properly on the I777, but at least I9100 hardwares don't guarantee a hardbrick due to a different CPU architecture and completely different partition table.

I have heard a similar case in which someone bricked it trying to flash villain rom and was able to ressurect it with a jig. I believe it is located in the general section of this phone thread.

I got it today, I'm shipping the bricked one tomorrow. Thanks for the replies everyone, I don't know if I should try the jig to see if it actually works before shipping it.

That should work, a friend of mine did brick his phone back in November and I let him borrow my JIG to unbriked his device, and he did it.

Hey, guys!
Sold my galaxy note to a lady with a s2 that quit working on her today. While asking her what exactly the phone is doing, she tells me it turns on with some warning message. I instantly thought of the dl mode and showed it to her on the note. She confirmed that's exactly what she was seeing on her s2. The phone died on her out of nowhere, while she was taking a call.
Now, I would love to help her out and fix it. Assuming it powers on in the dl mode, I was thinking about flashing a stock .tar to restore it.
Am i on the right path? I don't have the phone yet, but she should drop it off later in the evening.
Thank you, all!

Could be a dirty USB port. Mine does it once in awhile. Clean it with a toothbrush. Worth a try

ok so after a little scrolling through the thread i found that if you take the battery out the phone and plug it in the computer the red led on the phone comes on still no boot or recovery/download mode just seeing if that helps at all
Your completely bricked. U flashed bootloaders for a different device. A jig will not help. Do a search for mobiletechvideos and jtag. Sucks but it's your only solution. Unless u send it back to Samsung
Jtag is becoming more popular, on Craigslist I found a few people locally offering the service..
Might want to check to see if you have anybody locally that can do it.
