Phone bricked?

So I probably bricked my phone trying to boot into CW Recovery through the Rom Manager. I had the Slayer's CM7 Kang installed on it.
Won't turn on or even show the charging light when plugged into power. Anyone experienced this before? Any solution before I try to send it back?

You might have to put it in download mode. Hold both of the volume buttons and the power button at the same time, open ODIN on your computer and flash cmw all over again.

[Q] Cant get into download mode or get any computer to recognize my Galaxy s2 t989

i cant get into download mode at all. im on the tmobile version t989 and i tried everything. i did the official update to ics thru odin and now i wanted a pure android rom but i cant get into download mode. i think the problem is that i can only get into download mode when im connected to the computer but my computer or any computer for that matter wont recognize my gs2. i ordered a usb jig but was also thinking of replacing the usb port of the phone. i really have no idea what to do and was hoping someone here would beable to help me. btw when i plug it in to the computer all it does is charge and i can still boot into recovery but its android stock recovery. and i have tried to reinstall kies and have kies reinstall the drivers and go into the kies folder and run the exe file in USB drivers folder. nnothing seems to work. i dont know if it has anything to do with not having Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite device in device manager.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanx

Let's just make sure you're following the right steps. Remove the battery for ten seconds, insert the battery, press and hold volume up + volume down and then plug the usb cable that is already connected to your computer. Continue holding the volume keys until the phone turns on into download mode. You press volume up to continue once download mode is down on the screen.
The power button is not used when booting into download mode.
Make sure you have Odin open before you connect the phone and you should see your phone connected. Then you can flash the stock ics for Odin found in development.

Post your general location.
Maybe a local can hook it up to their computer and give it a try.

tried it
i did that like other people have said to do but as soon as i plug in the usb it goes straight to the battery charging image. i have odin open i turned off and let the battery ist for 10seconds then i hold both vol up and down and plug in the usb and as soon as it plugs in it goes to the battey no samsung no tmobile logo just a charging battery.
what else can i try

Did you try another USB cord? I know it sounds funny but the cord from my g2x will not allow me to connect to PC with my gs2...just saying it might help...or try to reinstall the drivers

lol you upgraded from a g2x too.
yeah i have like 4 different cords and none of them work now but to get the updated 4.0.3 i had to use the cord it came with and that along with the other cords i have only charge now. i dont think its a problem with the cord that im using but thnx

forgot to mension a usb jig
i bought a usb jig its comming in the mail. would i beable to use that to get into download mode and get back to 2.3 when things were working?

Had the same problem with the wifes gs2. No matter what i tried, the phone would not be recognized when connected to a pc. It is a known hardware problem affecting some phones. I called up tmobile on saturday and they offered to overnight a new replacement. I suggest you try giving them a call.

i'll try tmobile
only thing is that i dont hav a warranty because i bought it from ebay but i will try thanx

Have you tried blowing a can of air in the usb port? Sometimes dirt or debit gets in there and causes it not to get a good connection.

but it charges fine would dust cause it to loose connection to the computer and still let it charge?

Might also try removing battery, hold volume keys, hook up to computer, then reinsert battery.
Edit: Have you tried different ports on the pc? Mine, won't connect on one port.

Scrub it with a tooth brush. Bought mine from Craigslist and it would charge but computer would not recognize USB connection. That did the trick for me

Might be helpfull
Maybe i can help,
I know you're on t-mobile but maybe button combination changed or might be helpfull info....
I have the telus version of the SGS2 the ''X'' version..
I tried every possible ways to get access to the download mode but here is the problem i found.. the button combination to get access to the download mode is different from the t-mobile version.
On Telus version if you hold both volume up and volume down while holding the power button nothing will happen and it will only get in bootloop.
If you want to get access to the CWM recovery ( if installed ) or the original installation you have to hold both volume up and volume down but when you press the power button you have to release it when the phone vibrates and keep pressing the 2 volume buttons.
If you want to get access to download mode : you need to keep pressing only volume down and power button.. it will get you download mode after something like 3 seconds. Then it will show you a warning screen and ask you to press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and restart the phone..
I taught it might help you or others with similar problems

I guess what i realy want is to beable to flash a different rom
is there any other way to flash a custom rom without using download mode. i would like to beable to connect to my computer but the whole point is to get a different rom because i dont like samsungs ICS. i want a pure android 4.0 rom with working camera. can any body please help me

i have tried that

This was one of the methods i tried to get into download mode but i think that it goes into download mode when odin is open and the usb is plugged in. this is where i think im having the problem because when i connect to the computer all im getting is a charge no matter what usb i use or what computer i go to. if my computer wont recognize it then odin wont know that its connected and i cant flash any custom rom if i cant use odin.
i was hoping that there was another way to flash custom roms without having to use odin or download mode.
is there any way to do that.

also i can get into download mode using the jig but it doesnt realy help anything if odin still doesnt recognize it

THANK YOU
Thank you again! All this time I was doing it wrong way!!!

Make sure USB Cable is connected to computer. Hold volume up+down don't let go, plug USB Cable to phone. When it vibrate, you'll get your download mode.

Hi, You could try an unbrick jig , its super easy to make or cheap to buy. This thing gets you in download mode instantly!

No need to pay first try to hold the volume down button and then hold power button untill you go in bootloader after this connect the phone to a computer if your battery is empty the best way is to connect battery pack on the back side pins and try then go in bootloader but if your battery iss complete dead no solution you must to charge ytour phone but this can be done from bootloader with the bat file
EDIT: Next time when you are in trouble ask before discharge the phone

Have you flashed boot.img?
E: se this too

Hi disaster Again
the above problem i mentioned was solved, i could get my laptop to recognise the phone in ADB and i just had to enter the command adb reboot bootloader.
but now i have even bigger problem. i was running ARHD and everything was going fine unless i decided to upgrade to miui based on 4.4.4
so i went into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader and then flashed the boot.img of miui rom, then i pressed power down in fastboot thinking i'll connect and then go into recovery and then flash the zip of the rom
but now i cant get into either recovery or fastboot(bootloader) and neither my phone is recognised in adb.
please guys help me out.

Have you read this and followed all steps exactly?
Can you enter bootloader holding vol down and power button?
Do you have recovery on device?

See i cannot go into bootloader or recovery anyhow, yes i had recovery on my device by which i flashed the ARHD
i Flashed the boot image for the MIUI bases on 4.4.4 but now it doesnt boot up, neither i can nacces bootloader nor it is recognised by ADB

[HELP] Deadly Bricked Phone

Hello,
So eum, after ASUS released the nougat update for the ZS570KL model.. my phone automatically downloaded the update and started installing while I was playing a game, so the phone turned off without completing :c
It started on a bootloop so I tried to boot on recovery and reinstall the STOCK ROM via adb sideload since Wiping cache and Factory reset didn't help..
adb sideload didn't recognize the zip file no matter what I tried, so I went ahead and booted on fastboot and flashed recovery with TWRP and boom I guess I fried the recovery boot..
Anyway my phone is stuck on bootloop and cannot access the fastboot again nor the recovery because both redirects me the ASUS loading logo and gets stuck there (for over 24 hours)..
I somehow clicked on both UP and Down Volume + Power button, I noticed some phrases then the phone shut down.. I went ahead and plugged it, and my PC could recognize it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
How do I unbrick my phone from there? I did some research but I couldn't find the necessary files to bring the phone back alive..
can anyone please help? it's the ZS570KL 2.15GHz 64GB model

I dont know if this will help but maybe u can give it a try. Off course for your own risk ok.

How did you do that ??? i have version ZS550KL, i bricked myphone.

Hey guys, I did brick my phone in a state that booting into recovery makes it bootloop as well as booting the phone normally... What I did was leaving it charging 100% then try again with fastboot by holding Volume Up and Power button, once it vibrates release the power button and keep holding the volume button till it freezes on the black splash of ASUS, the plug it to your computer and flash a TWRP recovery img (I found a working one on this forum) then boom flash your ROM like you normally would after successfully flashing your recovery image

i need help guys, i bricked my zs570kl for flashing wrong firmware. mine was the old Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 brick (no led light if i plugged it in and it only showed on my device manager this HS-USB). i need those raw files of this phone so i can revive him again pls?
