[Q] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II soft brick

OK I was trying to flash an unlocked kernal via ODIN last night, something went wrong and now phone is stuck on the phone--!--computer screen. I cannot get past this screen. vol+home+power doesn't do anything but loop to the same screen.
It shows ODIN MODE in red at the top of the screen, but ODIn won't recognize the phone, nor will Kies (not running at the same time). Computer makes USB connected/disconnected sound when I plug and unplug the phone.
I have tried One-Click Unbrick, did not recognize that phone was connected.
Help!!

which model of Galaxy S2 do you have?

there''s currently nothing to flash this phone
it came out only 2 days ago
DEV are still working on finding root
so, the best suggestion is to take it back to the store and get it exchanged
or wait a few more days/weeks until a flashable release becomes available to fix the mistake

I know, I was hasty and now this. Even when there something available to flash, the device isn't being recognized by ODIN. Any troubleshooting help for this?

When I managed to get my Vibrant into that mode I could pull the battery, hold volume up, put the battery in, press and release power (still holding volume up) and it'd kick back into download mode everytime. Once in download mode I could plug the USB in and a running ODIN would see it pop up. If ODIN wasn't running and USB was already plugged in things wouldn't work right.
I haven't tried ODIN on the GS2 yet (I'll wait for a root ). I did find the vibrant nearly impossible to brick though... trust me I unexpectedly tried quite hard.
You might need the newest ODIN for GS2 support, and possibly newer drivers.

Hey, Hey, Hey...

I'm a bit new to this, but a custom ROM shouldn't affect your recovery mode. Are you sure you are using the correct buttons and methods to boot recovery?
Might want to make a new thread instead of necroing something from when the phone was 2 days old.

I have GT I9100 and done the same thing and got the same result . stuck at setup connection with odin
Please Help

Go into device manager when is plugged in and if it says qhd-usb or something like that its a hard brick. What tipped me off was you said it makes two noises when you plug in. that's a tell tell sign your hard bricked

You should try to uninstall then reinstall driver, and try another usb port. In my experience, Odin seems to be picky, it only recognizes your phone if you plug it in the usb port that you used in the first time.

Recovery is accessed by holding both vol + and - while starting the phone. Hold them both while pressing the power button, then release the power button when it vibrates, keep holding the vol buttons till you see the recovery screen.

Bricked my Galaxy Gio

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...

Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.

did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.

Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick

One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Darkshado

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.

that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

[Q] Did a MEGA WIPE on SGH-I747 and have completely deleted everything. Plz help?

I would like to apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong category (I think it's the right category). As the title says I have done a mega wipe with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and completely removed the OS along with the System Recovery and everything. It is basically just the phone and nothing inside. When I plug it in the computer, my windows OS makes a sound signaling it detected a device but then nothing happens. I do see a red light turning on my Galaxy S3, I think it says it's charging. Tried accessing the recovery mode, but no luck.... So my question is...is there any way to reflash an OS? Thank you so much XDA!!

If you can get to download mode, you can use Odin to flash a rom. Why would you wipe the recovery partition?

You need some JTAG action.

Hi My friend this is happened for me b4 and this what I did
1- take your battery out for about 5 Minutes.
2- Download Odin and The firmware orginal no rooting no custom recovery ** I started with ICS from Samsung-update.com***
3- Start Odin Don't add firmware yet.
4- Put your phone in Download mode by holding Volum down+ home+power and when the screen come push volum up to go to download mode.
5- Now connect your phone to PC and Odin will see your phone on which com.
6- Now add the Firmware by clicking on PDA when it say ready just click start on odin.
7- You are back on orginal Rom ( No root or Custom recovery) and you can go from there.
Good Luck
IF I Help Hit Thank Botton

JTAG repair is done to your phone by an expert with special equipment. You would need to bring your phone to them or ship it off to be fixed. Google '(your city) Jtag repair' . No boot but still having a sound from connecting to PC is a good sign that your bootloader is corrupted.

If the computer makes as noise when you plug it in, try for download mode... Even If the screen of the phone doesn't turn on try to connect and use Odin, sometimes Odin will pick it up...

[Q] can't use recovery mode.

Hello my friends.
I got a Galaxy Note II here - but my sister decided to play with it and now its locked on the 'too many wrong patterns screen'.
To make things even worst i haven't associated it with a google account (i recently bought it from a friend of mine).
When i try to hard-reset it the phone goes to the famous android logo with red exclamation - i think he rooted the phone and didn't told me.
Anyway when i get on this screen if i press the 'back' key on the phone i can access the 'Android System Recovery' - but i can't select any option.
I know i should use vol up/down to scrool betweeen options and power to select - but i press power and nothing happens.
Tried also pressing the menu button - nothing happened also.
Another problem is, for some reason i don't know the phone won't connect to my computer - only in charge mode.
Tried tons of things lots of times but it isn't showing up no matter what i do.
I tried also to call me from another phone and get in any menu - but when i do that i can only select normal options (send an sms, refuse call, accept).
I would like to hear suggestions from you guys since i've ran out of resources - i don't know what else i can do in order to recover the phone.
Thanks in advance
additional note: i just know its model is i9220+
It accepts WCDMA and a GSM SIM.

oh yeah

This is what i want.
But my computer do not detect the phone so i can't go into download mode.
I don't have anything important there - not worried about what is on its memory.
like i said when i plug the phone into the computer it only starts charging and nothing more.
is there 'any trick' i can try heh ?
ps: i installed kies, uinstalled, installed samsung usb drivers, installed, etc...well what i mean is that i tried most of those tricks to get the phone detected but no success - maybe flashing directly from my SD ?
also - i 'suspect' my phone is that n7100 . since i don't have its manual and can't access its menu either i just suspect because its from brazil and those n7100 models are like 'international'.

ok from how you are explaining stuff I'm not sure if you understand the flashing procedure thoroughly and risk involved
1. flashing can be risky
2. you need to download Odin example version 1.8
3. when your phone just powers on you need to know the EXACT model number example N7105 or N7100 or any other version..this is very important as if you flash a wrong firmware you could destroy your phone completely
4. find a stock ROM for your phone on xda or at samfirmware.com
5. install Samsung drivers or install Samsung kies but while Odin is on Samsung kies services must be closed
6. keep your phone in download mode by switching off your phone then HOLD CENTER/HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON
7. your phone may warn you and I believe may ask you to press volume up button to continue
8. then you are now in download mode.
9.open Odin
10. connect your phone to your pc via USB cable..give it time to register/install itself as a new hardware..etc etc as you may see new hardware detected pop up if running on Windows
10. a yellow COM port will appear on Odin showing the phone is connected
11. place the stock ROM file on the PDA section UNTICK REPARTITION , TICK REBOOT
12. this should flash your phone....however my procedure is a vague way of how to go about it... you may need to see a detailed step by step procedure on XDA if you are new to this.
I take no responsibility for any damages...I hope you almost everything we do here on XDA had risks involved
or the safer option take to a Samsung repair center!!

To get into download mode all you need to do is turn of the phone and hold power home volume down until you see the warning sign.

Okay
when i put the device into download mode (vol down + home + power) - it goes to a 'factory mode'
then options i have here are:
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Version
Reboot
And i can't choose any of 'em , no matter what i press.
Same happens when i go into recovery mode.
For getting into recovery o mode i i press the following combination: vol up + home + power
Then i get the android logo when a red exclamation - but when i press the 'back' button i can get into the "Android System Recovery <3e>", where i have the following options:
Reboot System Now
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
and same thing - i can't select any of 'em - no matter what button combination i press.
I tried plugging the phone into three computers none of 'em detected the phone.
Sometimes after many power on/off the computer detects it but instantly loses also - its something very quickly.
I can't get into any of the menus of the phone since i'm stuck in the 'too many wrong patterns' screen and i have no associated google account.
Also when i plug the phone in the pattern screen the only thing it says its about charging - nothing about plug in usb or anything like that.
I'm a bit used with flashing (did it a lot on my RAZR XT910) and i know all risks.
I've also found out my note ii is model GT-N7100 (this is the one sold in brazil) - i couldn't get its manual but my bet is going to be this - samsung service center won't repair the phone without the fiscal coupon .
I'll try more and keep this post update - but if anyone got an hint about this just tell me
Thanks in advance

Your device is not a Samsung phone, you said as much in your first post.

Oh okay.

I'm really sorry for taking your time
It was looking like Samsung because of its back
There's an stick with:

FCC ID: A3L SHI9220+
For information call: 1 888 987 4357
Bluetooth
CE01688
IMEI
and Made in Korea
There are also entries to:
WCDMA SIM
GSM SIM
and SD Card
But when i power it on there's nothing related to Samsung in fact - i never get anything related to Samsung.
Only android logo like a rocket.
It seems to be running an android 4.1 because of the interface
Anyway i'll see what i can do and thanks in advance for all the help

[Q] G2 stuck at boot logo no download mode no recovery device manager wont recognize

my phone is stuck at the lg logo when i try to boot, when i try to go to download mode it shows the blue dots but windows, flash tool, nothing will recognize the phone as being plugged in, and not even the little sound windows makes when a usb device is plugged in, its been a little while so i cant remember EXACTLY what the last thing i did that bricked it was, something i did on command line with aboot something, i can try to dig it up if absolutely necessary but it would take some digging...when i try to boot into recovery it freezes at the "loading recovery screen, when i try to go to download mode it sticks at the blue dots and wont respond to anything, when i try to do a factory hard data reset it says "hard reset processing" or something similar then freezes there, ive tried reinstalling the drivers, using different pcs, read through countless threads, but have had no luck, any ideas what i can do to unbrick my brand new g2?? thanks in advance

with the phone off (completely), hold volume button (up i believe), and plug usb into computer. This should bring up download mode. If volume up doesnt work, try volume down. If you get just to the dots, then your download mode is broken.
