You flashed an i9100 rom?!!?! I'm blown away. Why...why...why? Why in god's name would you do that? We have completely different hardware, of course your phone won't boot. Dude...
~EDIT~
There's a really good chance you're hard-bricked.
As a warning to other people out there who are just starting to do this stuff. DO NOT THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT IS IS EASY THAT YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT READING OR LEARNING ANYTHING. We here at XDA are all for helping people but this OP clearly did not read about flashing, read about what our phone is compared to the international version, or even do a search before posting this because then he would know how to attempt to get it into download mode and odin new firmware onto the device. We're not your personal, 24-hour tech support. If you want that, do not expect us to do it for free. If you genuinely want to learn about things and want someone to teach you how to fix something you did wrong, we'll be happy to do that. I'm going to repeat this one more time for effect:
We are not your personal, 24-hour/7-days-a-week, free tech support.

Yea. Im not gonna preach because i bricked my first phone yesterday :/
But its very important we dont flash software from other phones. This phone is different than any other Samsung and GS2 out there. You can often recover a phone if you flash the wrong rom, apparently that will not be the case on this phone..
If you cant get into recovery or dl mode theres no chance of a recovery. Sorry. Recovery can be accessed by pulling the battery, putting it back in, holding volume up and down and power all at the same time. Release the power button while continuing to hold both volume buttons ONLY if the samsung logo pops up. If nothing, try dl mode. That is done by pulling battery, putting it back in. Hold volume up and down while inserting the usb cord. If it does nothing your pretty much sol.

this is my first android phone and you best believe that i would rather be put in a sweat box with 10 sumo wrestlers and have to clean and floss some ass before I flash add rom or anything else that has to do with rooting this phone that didnt have t989 in it or that wasn't confirmed by plenty of devs... just saying dont really understand how someone thats been a member for over a year and has cleary had years of exp with andriod phones would do this..... unless hes about 13 yrs old and wanted to run around his school saying i got mine rooted i got mine rooted..

How did you do that? I want to make sure I don't do the same thing when I root or flash a rom

You are hard bricked. Needs a non existent jtag to repair. Pray that connexion learns to unbrick them.
Also, WHY???? Please click on the word friend in my signature.

Dude....., there is good chance you hard bricked your phone your only option is (JTAG).

I flashed a kernel using the mount point for epic touch. Not sure which partition it actually flashed to but as soon as it flashed the phone shutdown and wouldnt do anything. Part of trying to get things going here we now know the right partition to flash a kernel too just working on the path.

Idk if someone already mentioned this but try this:
1.Pull battery out
2.Download Odin 1.85 or above
3.Install drivers
4.Open Odin.exe
5.Put your battery back in to the phone
6.While holding both volume keys, plug the USB in and if your phone goes into.download mode then you are set and can pick up all the stock stuff and flash it via Odin.
And if that doesn't work then you will need a jig to get into download and I dnt knw if someone had made one yet or not.

Goodluck.. I had my first hard brick long time ago when I flashed my moto razr with the firmware for moto razr v3i.

this is rhetorical by why even reply to someone's stupidity its plain and simple all it takes is a little bit of ****ing reading! jesus christ! topics like this annoy the crap out of me and should be deleted ! im not cool with helping someone that doesn't help themselves first sorry !

I wouldn't be so quick. Difficult and unexpected situations happen to all of us I am sure.
From the original post, I think OP may have an international version of the SGS2, and flashed the T989 Rom. He's just looking for a way back.

i understand that! ive bricked a phone because i DIDNT READ. and even then i still didnt make a topic of it ... i tried every way possible to recover, when that didnt work i took the phone back. Seriously if you can type you can obviously read. trust me it helps.

bricked galaxy s 2 t989

So i was stupid and tried to install vilian rom on my sgs2 which apparently is not for the t989. Now phone wont turn on or do anything. Is it completly bricked?
iunno if this helps but when i plug it into computer still makes noise like its connected =/ nothing on screen tho

Try to put your phone in download mode, using the key combination (volume up/volume down) at the same time, then plug in your USB cable that will put you in download mode, and then use Odin to flash Bubby stock kernel. If you have access to recovery, (volume up/volume down/power) and let go the power as soon you can see the Samsung logo, then just flash the last ROM you were using before your mistake. This is if you already have a ROM that you can flash via CWM in the SDCARD of your phone. If you don't have a CWM ROM in your SD Card ODIN is your best friend. Hope this can help you.

You can try to exchange calling Tmobile and tell them that something wierd happen to your phone, and you don't know what is going on. Don't tell them about the flashing; that happened to me one time with my Vibrant, and they exchanged no questions asked. No charges or fees. Hope this can help you.

Hard Bricked...

So being the idiot I am, I accidentally hard-bricked my phone because I was flashing back to stock via ODIN, but I happened to install the file that was for my OG Epic (I happened to flash it yesterday) because I saw D700 and automatically assumed it was for my E4GT.
Now I cannot boot into recovery or download and the only thing that happens it he blue LED lights up.
Can someone please explain to me the possible solutions that might work for this?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any connection being made from the computer to the device?
do you know how to open device manager?

Nope, no connection and yes I do.

my guess is if odin doesn't recognize it try using different usb cords. if not jtag might be your only way out. unless you go to sprint and play dumb with a good excuse. sorry to hear that.

I'm gonna go to the Sprint store and play dumb tomorrow. I went today right before it closed and they said that they would have to run diagnostics and open it up. I think they would figure out it was rooted and just give it back to me though.

How long have you had it?
If less than a year.
This is what you will say:
Hi, I was using my phone last night talking to my gf/bf whatever the hell you swing. and suddendly it powered off it. I did notice the phone was getting pretty "hot". At first I thought it was the battery that it died. but when I plugged it into the charger nothing happened and thats why im here.
its still under manufacturer warranty so theres no ****in way they will say no they cant.

Yeah I've only had it for less than 2 months, so I think that they should replace it.

yes so trust me just do what i said and youll have a new phone

I have a question I was flashing Odin3v1.85 and instead of pda,i click bootloader and flash tar file kernel,so now im stuck at galaxysII screen and when i go into recovery its says volume path not found,any help for a fix,thanks in advance.

If you can get back into odin mode my guess would be try to flash back to stock and make sure you put it in the pda and also make sure nothing is checked except for auto reboot. Follow qbking's video on how to unroot/unbrick. This is like I said though assuming you can still get into download mode.

thats what i was thinking of trying,and yes i can get in download mode.

I think I had a bad download flashing a theme. I couldn't get into recovery or Odin and trust me I tried a lot. All I had was a blue light. Took it to a Sprint repair store and said it died charging over night. They tried to bring her back but couldn't. They swapped it out. I know I got lucky. Glad I didn't cancel my insurance. Lol

I actually made that exact same mistake the day I got this phone. I upgraded from the OG epic and just double-clicked the wrong file and didn't check before starting odin. since then I replaced phone, bought a $5 jig online and tested it by making the same mistake on purpose and BOOM!... download mode
I recommend the jig to all my friends with samsung android phones now. it allows you to be a retard

Update: Well today I went to the sprint store and played dumb and told them it just stopped working. They took it in and tried fixing it but couldn't so they ordered a replacement one for me for free So to anyone who's thinking of playing dumb at sprint, try it out, hahahahah

I just hate getting refurbs tho, they always burn in the screen.
I've been lucky,, I well say when my phone was new, got extremely hot all the time.but I've had for 6 months so far.

Happen to me...i bought a USB jig, because i could not boot into download mode...it did not work. so j tried everything under the sun and i sent it back to T-Mobile and told them that it just went out and they sent me another for 5$ because i had insurance. since the phone would not boot with the jig they could not see that i had rooted it..

It's been posted before, if you flash from the International s2 your screwed! No way around it, feel for you my man.

I wouldn't say you fell victim to being bricked. More like you failed to read the explicit warnings about flashing ROMs from other devices.

The JIG tool will not work in this case. However, for a few bucks you can buy a JTAG tool and for sure you will fix it. However, to be used it's necessary some background to proceed things in a right way..
You can try eBay to find someone that offers the box service to fix your device. So if you don't have choices, I strongly advice you to try one of this options, because for sure the box can figure this problem out.

Few days ago I just started installing ROMs for the first time on my rooted AT&T S3. Starting with CM10, then JellyBam, and so forth testing/trying out one at a time. I was clearing dalvik and wiping cache before and after installing each ROM. Each ROM worked fine until I finally reached the fourth or fifth ROM called Foxhound and that's when my phone when to crap. I went through the install and after it rebooted my screen went blank and never came back on. Unable to get into CWM or Download Mode, I did battery pull and also plugged via USB into my PC it still won't boot. I read that the USB jig works on the Galaxy S3, already ordered and waiting for it to come in. If that doesn't work then I'm gonna have to send it in for JTAG repair. I already read off another site that someone encountered the same issue and the USB jig didn't work (this is after I already ordered it) so I'm crossing my fingers.
And this is all because of Samsung Allshare Play isn't compatible with CM10 because it works off touchwiz. So I was looking for a touchwiz based ROM and heard about Foxhound. Once I get my phone back up I'm going to try Jedi Invasion ROM as I heard some good reviews.

Lmao I think I might understand. Sometimes even though the screen is black you can still do the button combo for download mode and it'll actually go into it even though you can't see that it went into download mode. Then plug in usb and hopefully Odin will recognize that you're in download mode and you'll be able to flash stock rom lol

Search around on here for warranty replacements. I've read a few threads where people have hard bricked and returned to AT&T for warranty replacements. One thing to keep in mind tho, if they were to look into and see that it was because you were modifying your device, after a few weeks you would have a fat 600$ charge on your bill.. I'm not saying its out of the question. Just read a lot and see what other peoples results were first!

Yeah, not to make the OP feel bad ( I feel your pain, really) but this should be a warning to all new flashers (myself included).
The International uses a quad core processor, and the AT&T uses a dual core. Not even close to being the same hardware and flashing the wrong rom is an invitation for disaster. This is not the first instance of this I have read either.
I know there is a tendency to say peeps need to watch what they're doing, but a big warning label would be nice, since the S3 comes in 2 hardware flavors.
I hope you get this worked out with a jig. I have read you can rig one up yourself if you're handy, but I have not seen the instructions to do so.
If you can get back in, I can personally verify that this rom flashes back to stock unrooted. Be sure to clear your cache too.

a big warning label (bigger than what they already post) is not necessary, nor is it the devs responsibility to baby-proof everything. if you find yourself hunting around the internet on 12 different sites, looking for rooting guides and roms for the S3, you're wrong. stick to one place, like xda. know your model number, make sure you're in the right forum, read over the kernel/rom page to ensure you're flashing the files meant for your device.
a "big warning label" would only be encouraging the large amount of spoon-feeding that so many (noobs and lazy peeps) on this forum already expect and somebody would still flash the wrong file like an idiot.
cheers

I see you joined back in November. How'd you get so wise so fast?
No, I agree that it not the devs responsibility to make sure no one makes a mistake, still, for a phone that comes with 2 different mainboards, it might be a courtesy, just in case the user has misplaced one of the half dozen or so tabs he/she has open in their browser after power surfing for an hour. The OP made a mistake. It happens. Calling him (or me) an idiot or lazy, is neither helpful, or polite.
cheers right back atcha!
