Need help, Screen won't turn on =[ - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So while i was making a backup on twrp, and let it finish and rebooted back to the phone and nothing lit up but my buttons i felt the lockscreen circle and what , and was left stump on what to do so i dusted the old odin out and unrooted blindfolded into download mode and did the proper stuff into stock ICS for T989, and it showed for the stock bootanimation at first, so i was like cool, i'll let it sit and settle before i do anything and it stayed on the samsung sign for about 15 mins, so i did a battery pull and then back to square one on the same problem but now under stock, any ideas on how to bring the light back up, kinda bummed that ive had this phone since it came out and still survived me and i just got it new gear so any ideas could help thank you

Fashed New Caulkins 2.0, and now phone won't boot

So, I flashed Caulks new EK02 Rom, and, when I went to restart, phone is stuck on boot screen; Wiped everything as normal before flashing, but stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I tried all the normal stuff to get into recovery, but phone won't go past the initial boot screen.
I have a mac computer, and thats all there are in the house, so I can't use Odin..
Can someone help me get the phone back to a state where it starts up?
Thanks so much for your help!
Use heimdall.

did that, flashed to stock, and we are back in business!
I did think about the hammer though...
MOD, please close!

[Q] Problems after restoring in Clockworkmod

Hello, this is kind of a long story but.......I was in clockworkmod recovery looking to restore back to a backed up rom. I saw a backup titled, 2000-01-01.00.00.16/. I didn't remember a backup that had that named and it said it was from the year 2000. Out of curiosity I decided to backup to it. Then It got stuck or what appeared to be stuck on "checking md5 sum". After ten minutes I pulled the battery thinking it hadn't even started restoring. When I put the battery back in I got the charging battery icon with a cloud and a thermometer, assuming this meant that the phone was to hot I felt the back and it wasn't hot at all. I tried to power the phone off but each time I turned it back on I got the same icon. Finally I tried plugging it in. Then the icon went away and the booted into clockworkmod. So then I restored to the Unnamed rom and the led notification light wouldn't go off. Then every time I turn the phone off I get the thermometer icon and have to plug it in. On top of that my computer won't recognize the phone. I want to use Odin to go back to stock but since the computer won't recognize it I'm stuck with a phone full of problems. Any suggestion?
First backups can't contains signs /&%*+# etc...
Second.. can you get to recovery?

omg .. i THINK YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE!!
But not to worry, most likely it's an easy fix. Reboot phone a couple times, MAKE SURE DRIVERS & EVERYTHING are INSTALLED FIRST, open ODIN with proper .TAR file, .PIT NOT needed. Only Auto Reboot box should be checked, then plug in to pc. Wait for phone to connect and hit start. BE PATIENT. If it doesn't work try booting into CMW, holding POWER and VOL UP buttons. Hope this helps!
Thanks everyone for the help. I ended up downloading mobile odin from the market, and then flashing the stock unrooted EK02.tar file. I still had the same problems and figured it was a hardware problem. So I took it into my local sprint store and they took one look and it and ordered me knew for free, no questions asked!

[Q] Jellybomb start up problems

The problem only happens when I reboot or turn on the phone. When it boots up, I get multiple results. A: It boots up normally (not a problem) B: When it gets to the samsung screen, it freaks out and reboots itself again and again. It's like it's struggling to boot up. One time it got to the gs 3, but then it looped back. C: This just happened today. I booted up and it went pass the samsung screen but when it got to the gs 3 screen, the screen turned a faint pink and it stayed on that screen.
This just happened right after version 8. I know 10 was messed up but on 9 and 11, this problem persisted. Also,I don't think the issue is the phone, since I don't have this problem on other Roms. If I'm wrong please let me know .
Any suggestions, advice, help, etc is welcomed.
Please... i really need help.
I suggest you start over, this will remove any corruption and gremlins you have klinging to your phone..

I unrooted, went back to stock, it did a factory reset so no bugs should have been alive. I re-rooted, made a backup, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I flashed the rom zip and rebooted. It gets stuck on the Gs III screen. I waited like 5 minutes and it didn't move. My battery was at 50% so I just put it on the charger and tried to boot up and it went through to the set up screen for gmail.Just to see if it was coincedental, I did another reboot but this time it got stuck again. It sounds like a system problem but i'm not sure.Like i said earlier, this only happens on Jellybomb.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I've tried switching recoveries but it doesn't fix it.
Sigh.

S3 won't turn on, possible rooting issue

Okay, so I'm really at my last gasp here since what I've read so far appears to be worst case scenario, but here goes:
I was trying to flash my S3 tonight, finally got around to downloading a few ROMs tonight. I went and tried Codename Android, but that didn't work, just loaded a logo for what seemed like an eternity and never went anywhere. Went back into recovery mode, restored my backup from CWM to try to start over. Here's where I think I messed up. After restoring, I went and tried to install another ROM (AOKP JellyBean) and now, nothing. No LED light when it's plugged in, won't turn on at all, doesn't respond. I get the QHUSB_DLOAD when I plug it into my laptop, but otherwise, absolutely nothing. I've been looking and it looks like it's seriously bricked.. someone please tell me there's a way to fix this and I won't have to get it fixed.

Overheating, freezes, and screen artifacts

Hello,
Ive had this device for now 3 months and never once had a problem. I did however stay on stock for quite awhile just rooted. Recently Ive been testing out different roms and ran through quite a few until I heard about the all mighty CM gem by Sultan. So I figured I would give it a shot. Went ahead and downloaded that along with gapps like any other rom. Booted into TWRP and wiped both the system and cache/dalvik. Then went ahead and attempted to install the rom. Unfortunately midway through it froze and my screen artifacted. I figured I would give it a few seconds and the screen turned black with the notification light turned on. I then tried to reset it with a volume+power combo and nothing happened. After about 5 mins of letting it rest it turned back on.
I went ahead and tried this process again thinking it was just a fluke but nope happened again. So I figured it was a corrupt zip file and I would just go back to the stock image I flashed before which was working perfectly fine. Again froze and gave me artifacts. Hoping to find an answer I downloaded the latest TWRP image and flashed the roms again. Same outcome. I even went out of my way to flash the stock recovery, fully reset all my data through there and then reflash TWRP and sideload Sultan's CM. Which I for once actually got into the ROM however now whenever I get into the ROM my phone overheats instantly and I get the nasty artifacts back along with a reset of the phone. Well kind of the screen goes black and I have to wait until it cools off to turn it back on or else it wont turn on.
Anyone have this issue? Anyone know how to solve this? This is my only phone and I go off to college next monday. Thanks in advanced.
UPDATE: I now cannot get the phone to turn on. No haptic feedback, no LED notification light, no recognition in windows. Literally a paperweight at this point.
The same here, flashed CM and Gapps...
Phone hangs on boot, rebooted the phone and now it won't go on..
