I was upgrading ics and phone got stuck then I turned off and on . Now lts bricked. When I turn on screen led is black , nothing on. Only notification light turn on when I turn on the phone or connect to any USB. When I connect to computer it doesnot recognize. Also phone doesnot go to recovery or download mode. I have tried everything like pressing diff combo buttons even USB jig. Any ideas before I take to store.
Sounds like brick city. Your symptoms are similar to most of is who had bricks.
Take a look around, there are a couple threads in general and the q&a. Maybe pull battery for a couple hours amd come back to it. Otherwise, head to store.
How do I turn my phone on?
Doesn't sound so "soft" if you can't get into recovery or download mode.
Good luck to you.

So you were on Gingerbread, wiped everything and tried to flash an ICS ROM and it bricked your phone? You can't get into download mode? (Hold volume down and power)

No I was on MIJJz Ics and was trying to update the same but lattest with CM recovery and middle got stuck and thats it. Now tried all but nothing is working so looks like time to goto store.

OK, yeah if you wiped anything in ICS recovery and have blue light you are done. People are doing OK with the format zip but that's not 100% safe either. Wiping individual partitions is dangerous right now. Well, hope things work out for you at Sprint store. They are getting stricter about that. Let us know how it goes

Whew.... I guess I was the lucky one. I have flashed like crazy and wiped like a madman in both the fc24 repack and fd02 repack. So far, the only thing that happened was a few errors (like mms not working or phone only able to call out, not receive) when flashing mijjz xplod mini. Just had to wipe a few more times, but is working like a champ (so people dont read this wrong, the ROM is just fine, it was my fault by trying to flash theme at same time without setting up the ROM first).

yeah dude, you're better off never using an ICS recovery. ICS recoveries offer nothing that GB recoveries can't do. the only thing gained is convenience and a huge risk of permabricking your phone. oh well, lesson learned (God knows I learned mine).
I've been using one click el29 Odin to go back to gb from ics leaks. My question is if I'm on an ics leak can I flash el26 kernel to go back without bricking?

If you use Odin or mobile odin, yes. I wouldn't recommend trying that through recovery.
Damn, the same thing happened to me with mijjz going from 3.2 to4.0. I even tried sending to mobile tech videos and they couldn't save it. I was using cwm and it froze midway through and it was done. All I get is a blue light.

that sucks. hard to believe people are still bricking with all the warnings posted everywhere. unfortunately the side effect is going to be sprint cracking down on exchanges.

Does this apply to GB recoveries like Rogue's CWM? I've been using that zip without issues so far but now I'm wondering if it's safe anymore.

The zip is completely safe especially for gb recovery with rouge cwm. The problem is the ics recoveries

even if your phone is really messed up they are making it impossible. thats the phase im in right now.
Do yourself and everyone a favor and just buy a new phone. It isn't fair to all of the people who can read that you didn't read some simple instructions and are going to try and scam sprint to get a new phone. Either buy a new phone full retail (500 at corporate) or buy a phone used. Take it as an expensive lesson to actually read for once.

Anyway i can tether w/o root on stock jb?
and if not how do i do it w/o installing a custom rom?
Don't think its possible without root. This is the quickest and easiest way to do it tho. To get root head here and download the zip.
http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
Once downloaded, extract to desktop. Put phone in download mode and plug in. Go to where you extracted that and open odin (building block icon).
Load the cf-autoroot-l710.tar.md5(name may differ slightly) into PDA slot and hit start. This will take all of about 1 min. When you boot back up head here for the wifi tether apk...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390208427046731813
Install and run. You should not have to change any settings in it. That Should be it
I hear Foxfi works really well, but i personally haven't used. Rooted of course. Rooting may be the best and cheapest option in my mind

You can tether over USB without root even on JB. Look in the Market for ClockworkMod Tether (no root). You do also need to install something on your PC. I've used and it works well.

the first time I did it, I used Odin from galaxys2root.com. and I install Jedi mind trick.
I think this happened when I try the galaxy s4 weather.apk and the phone got into boot loop and then i tried to recovery to early back up and didn't work so i went back to GalaxyS2root to see how to recovery from a boot loop therefore, I did it and lost every thing I hand in the phone and info will still be there. sometimes it disappear and will pop up and there..

They have numerous root files for different phones. And you did download the files for sgh-t989 and not another s2 right? Did the phone come on after you used odin? And which box did you click on in odin? Phone, Boot, PDA, CSC, etc.

there's a way to get it to work.

Now your kernel is likely wrong...and not running the hardware correctly.
Not to mention the radio, rils, and apn's...
You got lucky...And you should flash a rooted stock build via odin to clean it up and fix the partitions...imho
Then never do that again...lol

Have you seen a video with the 4.1.0 version of Mskip's toolkit?
I've seen the 2.0.0 version installed/rooted via Youtube, but I've read some concerning posts about people getting stuck with the 4.1.0 version of the toolkit.
Nope haven't heard any problems with his toolkits. I've been using them since he started making them. They are safe. You have to remember that 99 percent of the people don't even know or need to have root access number one and number 2 they can't comprehend computer systems anyways. When I was in engineering school for computers 90 percent of all problems were caused by the end user. Devices don't break their serves.
