I really suck with technology but I bought a phone on ebay and I put a Cyanogen mod on it and I want it off because I have to send the phone back. Can someone please help me through a SIMPLE way to unroot my phone please??
I have spent hours looking online for ways to do it and none of them have worked. I just want this off the phone..
Some times i doubt people even know what searching or reading is...
If you just had taken the time to look at the pinned threads you would have found it immediately...

I'm sorry, I HIGHLY doubt you spent HOURS searching.
if you DID then your Google-fu needs work.
search for "galaxy nexus return to stock factory image" OR "wugfresh toolkit galaxy nexus"
unless the device you are talking about just isn't even a galaxy nexus, in such case you are in the wrong forum for help

Wrong section Bro

Why cant you boot it into download mode via ADB and flash is back to stock with ODIN?
Wrong section to post a question in... Sorry to say but you're screwed like everyone else that did the same as you and posted the same topic a hundred times... Best bet is to try and get a warranty or ins change and tell them it just stopped working.. Good luck

NVM wrong post...
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.

thats seems more complicated than properly flashing roms which gave birth to this thread. Just exchange it
Ok i have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 model number gt-I9100m, currently i have updated through kies to 4.0.3.
Baseband: I9199MUGLD3
Kernal Version: [email protected] #3
Build number: IML74K.UGLD3
Now, the problem i am having is plain and simple, Bell ICS BLOWS! The phone runs like complete crap. Now my other problem is also pretty plain and simple, i dont understand or have not found how to root the bloody thing. I dont have a micro sd card, and even if i did i dont no what version of anything to use. I have used search i have used google and either its just not clicking for me in my brain or i have not found the information i need. I want to root the phone and load a custom rom onto it.I found one site but it had a giant warning stating the roms listed where only for the verizon version of the phone. Anyways im just really frustrated and a noob to android and samsung and throw my self upon the mercy of the android gods and hope that someone out there(who is not annoyed by me asking) can help me out. Thanks in advance.
And crap, i put this in the wrong section. Im sorry.
No one is going to get mad for asking a question. But they might get mad if you ask the question in the completely wrong forum. This is the GS3 forum, not the GS2 forum.
Best advice I can give you is to start with the right forum. Read the stickies, and you should be fine.
Personally I also own a Bell GS2 and ICS sucks. Battery life is brutal, phone constantly locks up etc etc. But its a work phone so I'm unable to root it, and install a different rom. I just live with it considering I use my GS3 more lol

Hello everyone. I have searched as much as I know how and I can't come up with any information pertaining to the BrickBug and the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. (See thread). I've downloaded ChainFire's app and it tells me that I have the brickbug and to be careful. I'm afraid to even root my phone because of this and was wondering if there is a relatively safe way to root my phone with the brickbug or am I just worried for nothing?
come on man you not serious are you? there are thousands of people that have rooted their phone in this forum. did you a search for brickbug in this forum? I owned the Galaxy 2 from Sprint which took a lot of my brothers out the game. Now thats the phone you got to be careful with. If you are doing homework then go through this forum and you will see know one here has that issue. If you are worried at all about rooting your phone my suggestion is just dont do it....
Nice answer to you is you have not done enough reading please do more before going forward with the t989 variant....
Hi all,
I could not believe that I just made such a huge mistake.
I was curious to try the UltimaROM and downloaded it. It has so many features and for the first time in my life I did not check that this ROM is for I9100 and not the t999.
I was also curious to update the CWM and asked it to install the "latest one" which is one of the features in the menu.
Once it asked to reboot, after the install - the phone never woke up again. I cannot get it into recovery or download mode. The power button just do not respond and I do not feel the short vibration that usually occurs when the phone is being turned on.
I'm on a business trip for the next 4 weeks and now I'm stuck without a phone...
Does anyone have any idea how to help? I'm lost without the phone (and yes, I know I should have not done that when I'm away from home and I should always check the phone version.. I did a silly thing but can anyone please has any idea how to recover?)
Thank you in advance.
You can't without JTAG or whatever it is that's talked about in every thread like this one. Its dunzo while on your trip :-/

Same Rookie mistake.... I guess.
I have the same issue.... Everything seemed fine until I hit the "Reboot now" button and WHAM! Nothing. Mine is the Sprint LTE version, but the Guide I used from the Mod Dev himself didn't specify that this was for a specific S3. It was however mentioned in the comments AFTER the tutorial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can send it into mobiletechvideos. They'll do it for $50 I think. They're in Texas though so shipping may be a pain. But still better than getting a new one.
EDIT: it is actually $60 there. Here's the link http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

Yeah you have no choice but to send it in for repair either to samsung or to other repair place, such as mobiletech videos. I hard bricked mines a while and sent it to mobile tech videos and got it back within a week from the date I shipped it to them. I did pay for express overnight delivery though. You can also try jtag but that is known on helping with soft bricks, you've hard bricked yours, but hey you never know. There are no other options you can do.

Try removing the battery and putting it back in. Then push power, boot into recovery, and restore nandroid.

A few months ago I tried to root and put a ROM onto my Galaxy S2 but I suppose something must have gone wrong. I'm not used to rooting, especially since the phone I had before this one was an Evo and much easier to root. Regardless, my phone is a Virgin Mobile phone, but I was assured that the Sprint ROM I am currently running would work on my phone. I flashed it and it booted fine and has actually worked pretty well ever since.
My only problem is that when using a root checker, I notice my phone shows up as unrooted. I have no idea where I should go from here. If I should treat it as a truly unrooted phone and try to re-do everything, or try to flash a different ROM made specifically for my phone. I'd rather not take a chance on bricking my phone and thought I would ask for some opinions and hopefully get guided in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if anything I typed here is unclear. It's a pretty weird thing to try and explain.
(I have actually made a similar thread back in March, but got no responses. Not sure if it's still okay for me to go ahead and make a new thread for this.)
Before we do anything; sticker on phone chassis under the battery - what model ?

I apologize that it took me this long to reply, I have a hectic work schedule. Thanks for responding.
The model number listed is SPH-D710.
No probs. I had an inkling you might be in the wrong forum hence I asked for confirmation of which S2 variant you have. US variants have their own fora, so your thread belongs here, you're more likely to get accurate/specific help in the right place.
I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

I must have completely skipped over it, thanks. Hopefully someone there can help. I'm hoping to sell this phone soon and don't want it to give the new owner issues.

Well, darn. I'll still check back on this thread but so far I'm still pretty lost, even after numerous searches online.
