I9100G cannot start but can charge. Hard Bricked?? - Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development

Guys i tried to flash [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 experimental builds then i found out it is not stable yet so i decided to flash back to Malaysia ICS 4.0.3 thru Odin. After i flash the rom thru Odin , my phone keep restarting . After that i decided to unplug the battery and switch on again . I cannot start my phone after i unplug and plug in the battery again. I cannot go into download mode and recovery mode but i still can charge my phone with charger. Is my phone hard bricked? Can anyone save my phone from bricked ? Please give me some solution T.T

its impossible to hard brick the phone with software unless u flash some other phones boot loader on it , leave it on charging for an hour after that pull the battery out and try again , i remember having that prob try to get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up after charging

Hard brick means u cant do anything. The fact that your phone is charging shows its not hard bricked. You cant do much though. Charge it and flip out and in your battery and try to go into download mode. If by chance u get into download mode, quickly roll back to an offial 4.0 or even 2.3.6 fr the time being.

does your phone opens with a black screen when you push the power button or with a half brick screen like a phone and a computer image on the screen?

I would suggest that you take the battery out, plug it in after a while (5-10 mins) and turn on the power while quickly holding the Vol up+Home keys into the download mode. Then flash your ICS 4.03 via Odin and see if it works

you need buy or make yourself an USB JIG , then you can put the phone in download mode and reflash the stock firmware, i recommend reflash the 2.3.6 rom and next update via kies ...

Ya . thanks guys, it is not a hard brick . Is my handset got problem. I solved the problem already

It is writtrn there already did you get a black screen
After the boot that means you have not selected the resurection version.

[Q] Can't boot

Hi guys,
i've got a problem here. I'm running Darky's 9.2 and it has suddenly stopped working. Pulled the phone of my pocket and it looked like it was booting, but it just kept booting. When i connect it to power it just displays the battery and the spinner for a few seconds and then the screen goes black again and the process repeats over and over. Just tried to connect it to Odin to go back to stock. I can go into download mode, but only for a few seconds. It won't stay in download mode. Any help?
try do a full reset in recovery.. then leave the battery out for 5-10 mins. then try download mode again
I can't get into recovery.
Volume up + home + power doesn't work.
I've left the battery out for over an hour. Still nothing...
same thing happend to me when i was on darkys 8.1 these thing happen when your using custom roms can you get in to download mode so you can reflash to stock rom
Only for a few seconds. After that it does the battery thing again.
Looks like you need the jig or to take it to a service centre but they may well charge as its out of warranty .

The jig? Afraid so yeah

In the past I would get into recovery that way but now on custom rom I need to release the power button when the galaxy s logo appears. Maybe give that a try.

I did, doesn't work.
It also never really shuts down. It just keeps booting.
If i remove the battery and plug it back in after a while it automatically starts the loop again.

[q] no dl mode/no option to load from sd

I am hoping someone can help me out. Yesterday I was using Odin to flash Apex 10. I was loading the bootloaders when the usb cable was pulled out and I didnt have the battery cover on and the battery fell out. Now I cant get into download mode. I have pulled the battery a thousand times. Before this happened I was able to use the three buttons to get into download mode. I need to start the process all over but cant do anything without getting into download mode. I dont have a jig. I searched and saw where I could download the three button fix. When I use CWM and reboot to recovery it doesnt give me the option to install from SD card.
The phone works but when I turn it on the booting animation says Galaxy i9000. Im currently on 2.2...baseband I897UCKB2.
Can I use AIO toolbox to correct this problem? After messing up last night I'm a little nervous at this point.
Also could someone point me to the correct bootloader for the Captivate? I want to make sure I used the right one.
Thanks in advance and please dont flame me. I searched this forum and honestly what I found only confused me more.

Do not use the 3 button fix or u may hard brick ur phone.
The i897 gingerbread bootloaders link is in my signature below.
Right click and run as administrator the Odin 1st. Then...
To get in download mode try leaving out ur battery, connect usb end of cable to usb port in the back of desktop computer or 1st port on laptop, connect micro usb end to phone while holding volume down button only , replace battery and cover, Odin may recognize your phone now, if so flash the i897 booloaders. Set phone aside and wait, should not take long.
If you get the "phone ! computer firmware upgrade fail" screen, don't worry, just treat it as a download screen. If all this does not work, then u will need to make or buy a jig.
Do not flash the 3 button fix over this you will hard brick your phone
If u can boot your phone after all this thn you are one lucky guy, You messed while flashing th BL and your phone still works, If you have i9000 boot screen that means you have flashed the i9000 bootloaders.
After flashing the i9000 BL the combination for the DL and recovery chages to.
Volume down plus power= DL
Volume up plus power = Recovery
.
I swear I love both of you. I got the phone in download mode by volume dwn + power. I will see if I can accomplish what I set out to do last night.

That is a nice, nasty, hard brick.
If you are getting into download mode and ODIN running on the PC recognises your phone, you are lucky - get any stock rom from samfirmware and flash it first. Use the phone for a few days more, and then, you can upgrade to new 7.1 cyanogenmod ROM.
try going into download mode by holding home and vol down the connect the usb 2 ur phone
or try holding vol up+down home and power
if it doesnt work try getting a jig from ebay
get a jig its the only way to fix it
SSC (Samsung Service Center) is the only way.
Congrats, next time read before doing anything.

stuck in middle of everything.

aah ! here is the story.
so i was on some normal n7000 rom like some orignal ones which do come with these phones.
i installed CM nighliess 4.4 which dint really work.
so i replaced it with some Slimbeanversions. and it just sucked!
i was able to enter into cwm recovery before and then i messed up again and now i am unable to enter into cwm recovery
i thought i might just install philz recovery through odin as i was able to enter into download mode
i just did that. and now ..i can go to download mode screen but when i try to continue further with volume up button and restarts. and as its connected with charger/laptop the charging cell appears it restarts it appears again and restarts again.
anyhelp what i am suppose to do and what i have done?
please. Thank you .
regards.
Try to remove the battery for about 20 seconds. While the battery is not in press the power button couple of times. Also make sure there is sufficient charge in the battery. Put the battery back and try download mode. Flash philz kernel or stock ROM of your choice.

Then flash a stock ROM. You can download it from samfirmware.com.

Hello,
did the same but get an solution for you.
You need Odin and a Firmware. Instal Odin and flash the Firmware (you have to look here wich Firmware you need).
It cost some minutes (some long minutes) and after this odin would reboot youre phone.
After this youre phone have to be ok.
Sorry for my bad english but you know lothar matthäus
hope it works
