Now before you say its not hard bricked, just use odin/download mode bla bla bla, know that I do know what I am talking about. I was odining WITH PARTION ON to go from mtd to bml and my computer power cut out. Now I can't turn my phone on OR get into download mode . I looked into th e unbrickable mod but apparently that's just more of an untested thing (at least for the epic). That pretty much means I can only get a new phone (probably get the note 2). However I was wondering for the time being if I turned this into sprint, assuming they don't know whats wrong with it and i play dumb, Will they just replace my phone cause I have tep? Or will i have to make an assurion claim? Or should i use an old crap phone for the next 3 weeks until i can get my gnote 2?
A month or so ago, I thought I had hard bricked from an odin disconnect. I searched & tried EVERYTHING and couldn't get it to DL mode. Somewhere in XDA I stumbled on a suggested unbrick method that amazingly worked. I wish I could find that post & hit Thanks.
- Close the keyboard
- Put the battery in
- Press the power button TWICE with short presses
- Plug in your USB cable
- Use 1+Power to fire up DL Mode
- Voila!!
I know it sounds overly simple, but it worked for me. I was shocked.

Well, I guess my memory isn't so hot. I found the original post here. The instruction should have been to press the power button twice with the the battery OUT. I'm glad it worked for you anyway.:laugh:

My friend told me it had something to do with waiting for the static something or other to clear with the battery out...so it may not have been your method. Just the two hours i got frusturated and didn't do anything with it and the battery out.

this drains the power out of the phone board, you could also unplug the battery and plug the phone into a WALL charger while holding power and 1, then after you get into download mode plug the battery in and take it to the usb for odin.

If its been 30 days you can go back to any sprint store and they have to give you a new one. I've done it. not for the s3 but for other phones. Thats considered a manufacturers defect.

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
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this but today I was just playing a game on phone when it just crashed,
I thought no big deal I'll just reboot so went to reboot, however it just went into a bootloop and would not reboot. Then I thought ok CWR but I could not boot into this. I then decided to use adb mode to flash back to stock. However in this process adb froze and would not respond anymore and kind of had a blue tearing around everything on the screen. I ended up having to pull the battery.
Now however the phone won't respond at all, Won't turn on, won't go into download mode or anything. I can get my computer and laptop to regonize it when I plug it on with no battery but just says searching for driver for OMAP 4440 then fails. I'm pretty sure I have bricked it and am quite sad. Just looking for confirmation.
Its still alive, I'm pretty sure someone with a bit more knowledge will stop by and help you, but it appears to just be a soft brick.

Not connected to PC - no ADB, no ODIN. Plus, his phone failed while playing game (under heavy load) which gives me a reason to think it's a hardware fault. I would say last chance is to try USB Jig.
If you can get to the bootloader, you should be able to flash a stock Google image

It's a hard brick, mate...
How to fix?:
take the back cover off your phone!
Remove battery, then plug in via USB (computer)
Leave for 3 hours!!! (With battery still unplugged) This should, in a way, "reset" your phone.
Once the three hours are over, plug in battery, and unplug USB.
Press PWR+VOL Down
Wait untill hpone boots into Odin mode then flashstock firmware from Samsung website.I
If this doesn't work, then I'd send it to Mobile Tech Videos, they kann unbrick it via JTAG...
Let me know if it worked, pleasse

He didn't mean playing, as in games. He meant playing around with his phone, root etc....
Thanks for the advice guys, gives me a small amount of hope. I will try leaving it plugged into my computer for 3 hours + and see what happens. Will post back with results.
Otherwise I may try get my hands on a jig. Would it be the same one from the Galaxy SII?
It worked? I'll explain you what happened to me:
I was playing for 2 hours on the game cartoon wars. After that, the phone was a little hot, I went to the desktop and locked the phone. 20 minutes later, I try to unlock the phone and I see the Google logo, and nothing responds. I pulled out the battery several times, tried to enter recovery, fastboot, normal boot. Always freezes. Stock 100%, the mobile has one week.... I think I will have to send it to the SAT....
I have my old HTC magic awaiting me, I gave my galaxy S to my sister...
Brick is such a misused word...
hmm
well if your running with verizon, which i doubt many of you are (prob using the GSM Gnex) you could just as easily bring it to them, lie, and theyll replace your phone. had a droid X, cracked the screen, told verizon it had a hardware fault, and they replaced it with no questions. verizon employees are pretty stupid

You are a horrible person and one of the reasons why decent, hardworking people can't have nice things.
So none of the methods suggested have work so looks like I'm going to have to get a Jig and hope that will do the trick otherwise I'm doomed I think.
when you guys say jig do you mean using resistors on the micro usb port to boot like with the old captivate? i still have the resistors mirco usb plug for that phone, it saved me from a hard brick a few times.

Yup.
My friend's S2 is having the following issues:
The phone will not turn on (Darkside 3.6 ROM with DarksideX Kernel). The phone will show the Samsung logo, the Darkside X kernel flash and then it would shut off. It will then have a constant vibration ever 2 seconds or so.
I tried going into recovery mode to try and wipe all the caches, but the phone will not let me go into recovery mode at all. It will give me the constant vibration mentioned above.
I'm guessing the issue is being caused by Kernel crash so I tried going into download mode so I could try and flash a new Kernel via Odin, but once I get into the warning screen and I press volume up to go to download mode, the phone go into download mode for a split second before shutting off and go into the constant vibration mode again.
Any idea what's going on? Or did anyone have had these problems in the past?
I flashed her phone a few months ago and it's been working flawlessly until last night. So I know it's not a bad flash. I'm getting frustrated here because I can't keep the phone turned on long enough to re-flash or to ODIN or to do anything.
Any help is appreciated!
Try letting it sit for a couple of minutes, the battery might have drained too much. This happened to me before I hope this helps, every once in a while when it turns off and on try to boot into recovery and just reboot back out to restart the phone to a normal boot.

I'm worried that it's hardware failure, but the phone is still under warranty and if that's the case, I'm trying to get this back to stock so I can claim the warranty.

This happened to a couple people a while ago. One had some lint or corrosion on the battery contacts, they cleaned it, and that fixed it.
skrambled said:
BOOM!!!! I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it was a battery or battery connection issue. I removed the back plating and noticed that there was some lint on the inside that was bridging the battery connections (I don't know the tech terms, sorry).
Used some air duster and blew it out. Reassembled and it is working like a charm now.
(If Joosty is reading this, I did a factory data reset--including USB storage--immediately so no worries about any personal data you may have had on there.)
EDIT: For anyone trying this fix just thought I'd mention that I used a 1/16 screwdriver to get the screws out and that getting the cover off was a little tricky--I thought I was going to break the plastic when trying to pop it off. Also, the volume rocker button falls right out so make sure to watch for that...

Damn... I guess you should try a jig, that's the only thing I have in mind. Sometimes you need to take everything out such as the sim card, Sdcard etc... let sit for 5 minutes then try to put the battery in to go into download mode. Last time I was getting so frustrated and noticed the USB cable was still in and that was the reason I couldn't get into recovery I was so heated! Haha anyways I hope this helps.

Yeah, I'm ordering a jig and hoping that it would force my phone to download mode and keep it on long enough for me to flash new kernel or stock rom.
But I did try letting the phone sit overnight before attempting anything to it with no results. If the jig doesn't work, I'm just going to send it in for the JTAG service. I e-mailed them and they said they would be able to fix it.

This does not make sense. First, were you able to go into download mode using Vol up+down and USB cable plugged in to computer? If you can, then press vol up to continue and start ODIN on your desktop, flash the stock ROM (download from the Galaxy S2 Android Dev threads) and see if that works.
To me this does not sound like a hardware but more like a corrupt software issue.
I hope you just don't waste your money for nothing here.

As I'd mentioned in my first post, I'm able to go into download mode, but I'm unable to keep the phone turned on for me to do anything with ODIN.
I'm hoping that by using the JIG, it will somehow force my phone to stay in download mode long enough for me to flash.
That happened when my phone's Seidio battery had some liquid spilled on it. It did the same exact thing but I used my stock battery to boot it, let the phone run from the charger and replaced the battery. That fixed it for me. Try using another battery.

I have the same problem! please help
He said I can have it if I fix it, I have no idea what he has done to it.
It wont boot up at all. Just a constant black screen. I've installed some samsung USB drivers. And when I plug it in under my devices and printers there are 3 things listed when ever I unplug it they all disapear.
under unspecified it lists "SAMSUNG CDMA Technologys" "Samsung Mobile Modem" and "SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COM4)"
So the computer does seem to recognize it when im plugging it in. but the phone does seem really dead.
What should the next steps be that I should take, any tips?
1. Take out battery. And put in after 10sec
2. Power on by holding volume DOWN, home and power all at the same time.
3. Once in download menu, press volume up to continue.
4. Flash any firmware using Odin. I believe the gio version is 4.4.2

"Power on by holding volume DOWN, home and power all at the same time. "
I have tried this like 50 times taking the battery in and out to, but the phone will not power on at all
Sounds like a hard brick...
...my guess is that something went wrong when flashing - he might have tried to flash something with Rom Manager for example, all Gio owners must avoid doing that since it crashes the phone.
My phone is turned in to the repairman for the above reason wit the exact same symtoms as yours, i'll get a cost proposal (sorry for poor wording, i'm not proposing to you ) any day now. Hopefully it'll be cheaper than buying a new Gio...

Put it on the charger, and you"ll feel the battery gets warm, but dont see anything...
It may be that the battery was almost empty and thus the phone shut off...
Mine was gone for 2 weeks, and I nearly throwed it away...
But then I charged it, maybe it could help, and tried gettin into download mode while on the wall charging, and it worked!!!

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.

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

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.

Have you tried pulling the phones battery out sim and micro sdcard... then hold the two volume buttons then olug in the usb and then place the battery while still holding the volume buttons? (Open up odin before trying)

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.
