Phone Bricked - Help Appreciated

Okay long story short, I was flashing Kang's Bullet kernel to my phone without the battery cover on (I know, I'm a dumb ass) and go figure, the battery pops out. I put the battery back in, and the phone doesn't boot as I sorta expected.
When I plug my phone into the computer it shows up as a qhs_usb device but it didn't have drivers. I searched around, found the drivers I needed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14909282&postcount=19 . So now my computer and Odin recognize my phone, but when I try to flash the stock kernel back on the phone it gets stuck on "Setup Connection". I'm having the exact same issue as this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19091572&postcount=7
Does anyone have any insight as to how to get around this problem? While doing some more searching, I read that a USB jig may work. Will that work with our phones or is that only for the first gen Galaxy phones? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ha. Don't worry. I bricked my phone on my first try too. What I did was connect my phone to odin again, but just rooted it all over again. It worked too. Download the files you need and use odin to root it again. It should work.

yup, just boot into the Download mode, and flash back to stock via ODIN, then you can go from there
a USB jig will definitely make it easier

Thanks for the help so far guys. Okay unfortunately I can't get into download mode. My phone doesn't show anything on the display, make any sounds or anything. I've tried different combinations of pressing the volume up/down key and inserting the USB cable, but Odin still freezes at the "Setup Connection" step. I think its fully bricked because even when I don't press any keys when plugging in my phone my computer still recognizes it as the same device and Odin still freezes. I've attached a pic to show what I mean. The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device I have expanded in device manager is what my computer sees the phone as, no matter what I do.

*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
That will bring you to download mode
or leave the batt. out for a min. or 2. Also try a different port see if that helps.

Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunately I can't get it into download mode. I even tried with my friends jig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&noredirect=1 but it doesn't work. I'm just going to consider this a loss and see if I can get another phone used on CraigsList or eBay.

How I unbricked mine....
I was having a hard time as well after bricking my phone. In desperation, this is what I did....
I went to another pc, my work laptop, and installed the drivers and installed odin on it. Simply plugged the phone in and flashed via Odin back to stock firmware. All it took was swapping pc's. I was having the same issue............
My guess is that somehow since the original pc "knew" the phone, it couldn't decipher the phone in a different state, but it did prove to work on another pc.
I hope this helps you!

wait until unbrickable mod comes out..lol

You can also trya different usb on your PC. I could always find Odin. Good luck

Thanks, I did try this one last time, but it didn't work :\ . I've already given up hope because I did some more reading and when the phone gets in this mode, it means the eMMC (or something like that) needs to be re-flashed and that's something they have to do at the factory.

Yea but I bought it the first day it came out, not sure they would take it back if I tried to return it. Also it's 100% my fault, so I would feel bad trying to return it. But thanks for the advice though.

[GUIDE] SoftBricked?? I'll Show You How to UnBrick It!

HELLO EVERYONE!
This is how to UnBrick the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II.
Make Sure you Never UnPlug the USB Cable While Flashing!
YOU WILL NEED:
Odin 1.85
USB Drivers
T-Mobile Stock 2.3.6
T-Mobile Stock 4.0.3
You must be really nervous right now. DON'T WORRY! THE MORE YOU STRESS, THE MOST LIKELY YOU WILL MESS UP!
Let's get down to business!
1. Relax, and focus on what you are doing.
2. Now try to put your phone to Download Mode.
A. Take out and put back in the battery. Then, hold Vol + and Vol - , now plug in USB and you will get to this screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, you must press Vol +, and your in Download Mode!
B. Find a G2x USB and check if it puts in download mode while its off. If it doesn't, you will need to use a USB JIG.
IF NON OF THIS OPTIONS WORK, AND YOUR PHONE DOESN'T BOOT, YOU HAVE HARD BRICKED YOUR DEVICE. TO PROVE THIS HAPPENED, PLUG IN YOUR DEVICE AND SEE WHAT THE DEVICE NAME IS ON YOUR PC. SHOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT QUALCOMM BOOTLOADERS.
2. Once your in Download Mode, open up Odin 1.85 (Make sure you installed the drivers!) Once in Odin 1.85, Check PDA and look for the downloaded:
T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5 for 2.3.6.
Tmobile LE1 ICS FULL ROM for 4.0.3.
3. Press Start!
4. Once it's done, it should look like this.
Now, it should reboot to recovery and delete cache and data. Then, it will boot.
Your now on stock, if this didn't work for you, write in the comments, What device you have (T989D or T989) if it went to Download Mode, and what didn't work!
HOW TO ROOT YOUR PHONE
1) Download This Recovery : ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4
2) Download The SU Files : SU Files + Superuser
3) Flash SU Files In Recovery.
4) ENJOY

Thanks for your time, this useful. Maybe they could check the battery, before anything. For a real noob guide, add in download links for drivers, odin, and files, etc.

Thanks for this good job.If I can suggest also putting 2.3.5 stock zip up.It is easy to root with superonclick.Then flash a 2.3.6 ROM of your choosing.thanks again.
Edit:Or I guess you can just flash recovery then flash a 2.3.6 rooted ROM to get your root.
From a glaxay better than yours.

what are my options for hard bricked device ?
it hangs on black screen, no download mode no CWM no nothing.
Only when i connect it to the pc in device manager shows qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008 ?

Thanks this really helped me.

This worked great after the damn forced OTA locked my phone on the white loading screen. I was so worried I had lost all my xmas pics I just took of my 1 and 2 year old daughters. I followed these instructions exactly and after a reboot all of my data, pics, video are still there. Nothing was lost
Now I just have to reroot, remove readded bloat, etc and can enjoy my phone again. Thanks sooo much.

Edit: Problem resolved i did a system restore must of been an update that derailed the drivers, thanx anyways for help...

I'm back again with the same issue with the modem failure, this time there's no restore point and windows for some reason can't install the modem correctly. Basically pc odin is completely gone with the wind because of the modem failures... I even updated the drivers and no luck... So if I flash a rom and make mistake the bootloop will be the end of the life of this phone until I can get a fix on this modem issue... No luck with Samsung drivers either, help will be appreciated....

Same problem here. Samsung mobile usb modem failed after i tried everything..
Any help?

Flash it in recovery?

I think I need a "Hey You are Stupid Thread" just for me

First of all, forgive me for my language for I am upset with myself and hope someone can help me. I did not know where to post this, so I figured this was best place. There was not a Dumb ### (edited by VeNuM) Thread or I would have posted there.
I did some dumb stuff and used the Galaxy S2 GT-9100 forums to alter my phone. CWM, KERNEL, and Reset whole phone to GT-9100 cause things were not working lol. I did not realize there are so many versions of the Galaxy s2. Well after all the garbage I did. I am still able to go into ODIN, but I am not able to get my computer to recognize my phone now. There is no ping/notification nothing, no prompt about wrong drivers. After all of this I looked under battery and it was model Model SPH-D710, now in Odin it shows samsung gt-i9100.
Anyone have any advice?

I should have slept before doing all this...

If you do have a SGS2 Epic 4G Touch this is the right place to be but Q n A would be the right place...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953783I Download a one click of any of the roms for your version of phone, SGS2 epic 4g touch if thats what you have. If you can get into download mode, hold power and volume down. Once in Dl mode connect to pc via usb and see if one of the com ports light up in the one click. If it does you are in luck and press start. If it doesnt, try downloading the drivers. You can get them and all one clicks here........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252.

Uninstall all your phone drivers through the device manager or add/remove software. REBOOT. Then start from scratch. It's sometimes easier to put the phone in download mode. I'm not sure why but when I have problems connecting to my phone that always works. And yes... This should have been in q&a.

I'm sorry to tell you this buddy, and it looks like people here do not have enough experience with bricks either. If you've flashed a rom from the international GS2, the only way to fix it is J-TAG. Flashing international GS2 Roms, disable your usb port regardless of Odin functionality.

Thanks for the input xstatik, think a whole group of people moved on to newer phones.Dont know if there are many that know, Thanks for bringing your knowledge

Ok, I know your computer has the drivers, now, download a one click ROM and a kernel tar. Make sure you have a good USB Cable.. Ive had this exact same problem. With a new USB Cable...
open ODIN and find your kernel.Tar for this device. Have it loaded in ODIN BUT the phone disconnected.
Pop out the battery and put it back in
Now put it in DL mode holding power and vol dwn, press vol up to go into Odin mode
With the new cable connect your device
Look at the odin window and you should have a yellow COM port.
Flash the kernel. After it passes, and reboots, follow the same steps above and now flash your stock ROM
Reason being, if you don't have the proper kernel for this device, the ONE CLICK ROM will most likely fail. If you follow this exactly it should work. Good luck.

Yes the phone is bricked (when I developed for this phone I bricked it so I know). Either try the jtag or get another phone. This isssue has been covered in the q and a (where this SHOULD have been. NOT development. I am moving it though...). Also, theres no reason for the language you used. Please read the rules again and follow them. Good luck.

I would try to remove all the drivers you have now and install the non signed drivers from the first aid perferd drivers and that should go without any problems once that is done you should have a working drivers. Depending if you have windows 7 or 8 on how to disable driver signature.

Alrighty, thanks guys. I give it a shot.

I think the step your missing is to disable driver signature enforcement Search in google for disable driver signature enforcement Windows (then whatever version you have) and should find a way to do it, then connect kindle to the computer remove any drivers you see in device manager (and click delete driver if it gives you a check box) Then try the same thing and it should work!

I gave it a shot, but nothing is being picked up. Note that I can't even fully boot up the Kindle. It always goes straight to the stock recovery. Would an OTA disable ADB in the kindle?

It has some glitches still but it is automated from when your in fastboot. And dont forget to letup LMT on first boot.

Hm, I actually tried to do a complete restore through fastboot, since it's the only thing working, but when it finishes and the kindle reboots, it still goes back to the stock recovery screen. I can't run the unbrick utility or use anything that requires ADB, since it's not being detected through that ><; damn it. I thought I was on to something.

Gotcha. Do you think I'll be able to boot up normally if I flash this?

Maybe, hard to tell since like you said you tried to go back to completely stock and it didn't work.

Alrighty, I flashed yours but I ended up with a red screen, but I figured out how to actually fix it. This kindle now run perfectly haha. awesome.

I'll do that as soon as I have time to take screenshots and stuff. Just ran through the rain and jumped over a flooded road to get home >< soaking wet.

Ok thanks! I want to make a script to fix the red screen problem! I had it once but I forgot how I fixed it lol and I dont want to get it again to try to learn again how to fix

Pretty much all I did was get into fastboot via cmd, and flashed boot, system, and recovery individually; they were for 8.1.4. I was at work when I did it, so I can't remember where I got the files, but you get the idea.
However, I had to type: flashboot -i 0x1949 flash (whatever here) (dragged the file here)
Because putting the file in the same folder as my fastboot didn't work.
After that I just rebooted and it worked.
