Hi,
My phone doesn't turn on at all and it is hardbricked. I was just wondering if there is any way to get back the data in which I have saved on the phone by any chance? Such as my pictures and so fort.
Also, how can I go about fixing a hardbricked phone by myself. I don't want to pay to send the phone in to anyone. I've looked around, but it seems most of the solutions on google are to fix softbricked phones.
Im using the Galaxy SII I727 btw.
Your best bet would be to post this in the galaxy s2 forum, and as this is for the note 2.

They fixed an S II for me

Not sure if it's possible, but given the prices of the Note II around here, it will cost me about the same to fix my S2 as it is to buy a Note II. When i open Kies on my laptop with the phone connected, it tells me the device is locked, and to unlock it first. Of course with the screen broken, that's not an option.
Any way to get around this, or am I out of luck? TIA for any help.
This is a stock version btw. Anyone?
Have you tried an adb backup?

Hello everyone.
I've had my Note II since October when it was released and sold on Amazon.com. I got a French phone
Anyways, I've rooted it and installed custom ROM on it (HD Rom).
After a phone call yesterday, we put the phone on the table and it just won't boot at all. I can't even get it to boot to the logo screen. I've called Samsung US and they won't honor this "French" phone since the IMEI is not in their system, so be careful next time you buy an unlocked phone that's not sold primarily for US customers.
The issue I am having now is that I don't know what to do. I've read and research the forums but I am really lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the good news: I buy everything from Amazon and they're going to refund me but maybe a partial refund but the phone is full of personal stuff. I want to at least get it back to work so I don't have to return it to them. My privacy is more important than the refund.
Please help!
Thank you

Yes. I won't boot at all even to the N7100 screen.
Try joining the n7100 sds repair group. Maybe it's just a emmc corrupt which should be repairable with jtag as well.
Other than that if it can't boot even to n7100 screen then I could hardly think I of any way to extract the data.

Hey guys!
I was flashing roms (been doing it for a long time) but I was on the phone and I was distracted and I accidentally flashed a T-Mo Note 2 rom. No download mode, no recovery and no indicator light when I charge the phone. I was so dumb lol However when I plug it in to my computer there is a sound that the PC makes so my PC does indeed recognize the phone.
So is JTAG mandatory at this stage or do I have any other options?
Thanks yaal!
No other options.
Wow that sucks. The first device I brick accidently was my G2X. I bought a sensation and trying was trying to restore a nandroid backup on the phone and i restore the one from the sensation and not the g2x. Phone wouldnt do nothing.
Go to www.mobiletechvideos.com
They are the best at bringing bricked phones back to life. I bricked my t989 and they had it back to me in 10 days good as new.

Yes, it's hard bricked for sure and JTAG is the only option. Sorry.
Or if you have insurance just say that you woke up and phone didn't wanted to do anything. And you changed battery and everything. Lol

Jtag is required, I can't tell you anything about jtagging from ebay, if you trust them and their seller ratings then I guess go ahead. But I'd highly recommend mobiletecgvideos.com if you have the money, high quality professional work. Know this from personal experience.

Just call tmobile and say you don't know what happened. Being its a hard brick they won't know its modified. My sprint s3 hard bricked too for the same reason. There is no way to know what happened to the phone unless they spend the money and time to pull what software is directly on the chip...which is not economical for them . They will have to jtag or swap boards to refurbish it anyway.
Now here's the decision you need to make...I despise tmobile.s refurbished phones. Its like they just spit in them and send them out as repaired. So you can pay for jtag to keep your phone or tmobile swap.
tmobile s3 running wicked. best rom i've ever used

It looks like your friend tried to flash an international ROM to it... In that case, only Jtag can fix it. Mobiletechvideos will be able to help.

what or who is jtag but the thing is if i put it on a wall charger it works and the blue light is on meaning its charging
First. Are you 100% sure that what you have is the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch?
Second. JTAG is a way to recover hard bricked devices. It involves taking the device completely apart and flashing the stock firmware directly to the phone through the JTAG pads on the motherboard.

Check them out. They do great work and offer a ton of services. There turn around time is great as well. They can even root and flash any ROM you like.

i think because when it used to work i connected to my bluetooth radio and it always said epic 4g touch so i thought it was one unless its not im not really sure
That would be proof that it is. I am afraid that your friend screwed the pooch. That device is only compatible with root methods and ROMs specifically made for it. Any other galaxy S2 ROM or root method results in the very least a boot loop and at worst a complete brick. You are stuck in between and require a JTAG.
