[Q] Samsung galaxy s2 t989 bricked after trying to root - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi everybody, im new here.. so i'll go to the point.. i had recently buy a samsung galaxy s2 tmobile t989 version, im from south america, so i need it to root the phone in order to unlock it for all the operators.. so i followed this tutorial step by step http: //galaxys2root.com /galaxy-s2-root/ how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ (just fill the spaces)
Now.. once the the odin finished.. the cellphone got in a boot loop, i couldn't even go to the recovery mode.. because in the recovery mode also reboots.. and now.. the phone wont turn on.. and when i connect to the pc via usb.. y get that noise.. its like two fast tinun (dont know how to explain) and now i dont know what to do because the only way i think this could be fixed is via JTAG but no one does that here.. only in the USA.. anybody can tell me why that tutorial didnt work and what can i do now?

I had that issue aswell. My phone got into bootloop and recovery actions rebooted the device. Only difference is that it happened after a regular reboot, not after Odin.
I'm not sure why your device isn't turning on, though. Maybe it just got completely discharged. Try to leave it connected to your PC for a while and then try to turn it on again.
Try downloading this Stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350360
And follow these instructions on how to install it properly.

its not a battery issue cuz i have another galaxy s2, the international version.. and i managed to put the battery from the t989 in the international and charged it.. still.. the phone doesnt turn on.. so i cant do any odin stuff.. when i connect to the pc i get that the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver was not found..

Are you sure you're in 'Download Mode' when you connect to the PC?
Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and then connect the USB to the device.

ToastMan12 i already said.. "the phone wont turn on" i cant put in download mode or recovery or any mode.. WONT TURN ON

OK dude. Was just making sure...

i just downloaded some qualcomm drivers for the QHSUSB_DLOAD, they worked, and now odin recognizes my phone even its not turned on.. now the question is.. what do i do? what files i have to put in the PDA?

The stock rom previously stated
If it doesn't pass do it again sometimes doesn't pass first try. It might hang a few minutes be patient

What did you do with the files. I extracted them and plugged in my device and still get the noise but nothing.... You said it odin recognizes your device now?

yes, go to the device manager, and install the drivers from there, then, odin will recognize your device

Sounds like you applied a file made for a different device via odin.

Got it to recognize the device. Downloading stock to see if I can flash it.
Trying to flash stock rom and it's stuck on setup connection for about 3-4 minutes. I'm gonna let it sit for a while to see what she does.
Don't think I can get anywhere since it wont go into download mode gotta wait til my jig gets here tomorrow and then we'll really see what's up.

Follow the procedure that I linked to in my first reply. You need to flash this file: T989UVKID_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL594724_REV00.tar.md5

i did try to make one myself.. but there is always the doubt if it didnt work cuz i made it wrong or just didnt work.. thats why i bought one.. thanks.. i'll wait for your update

Rooting/Update gone wrong

I am in need of major help.
My brother attempted to root and update my phone to the leaked ICS fd16. All was going well until the usb cable accidentally disconnected and now I'm stuck with a partial update and only keep on getting a "firmware has encountared problem" message. It will allow me to go into download mode but it won't let me get into the recovery screen to run a full factory reset.
I can't run an emergency firmware recovery through Kies since there aren't any backup files. Not only that but now my phone can't be recognized through my macbook.
I have attempted to use the usb cable that came with the phone as well as another HTC cable I had in hand from a previous model I owned.
I don't want to take it to Sprint yet since it was my fault that we even attempted this modification and I was even told that Sprint wont be able to replace my phone right then and there for another phone.
I'm going out of town on Monday so ordering a jig or sending it mobiletech is not an option. Any help right now would truly be appreciated.
THANKS
As long as you can get into download mode you are OK. Just download any rom tar to your computer and odin it to your phone in download mode. Should fix it.

Edit:http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Developer-Tools/ODIN.shtml give that Mac version of Odin a try. But maybe you already have it. Have u tried hemidall? I think thats how its spelled

[SOLVED]Nexus brick. OMAP Flash Tutorial in post 10

Hello guys, my nexus died
I had some problems with a rom so i decided to restore a previous backup(bigxies JB rom) which was working when i backed it up ofc.
Did the backup and hit reboot in cwm, nothing.
wont turn on wont get into fastboot no download mode nothing. when i plug in a charger no charge animation, nothing.
i tried flashing a stock rom with the nexus toolkit but it keeps saying waiting for adb. nothing happens.
windows doesnt recognize it either when i plug it in my pc..
any ideas? it seems that i am screwed
you have to install the correct drivers first, if you can get into fastboot then you can return to back stock

i cant get in to odin mode either, the phone basically behaves like it doesnt have a battery, no sign of life whatsoever.
Ill search omap flash, thx
when i connect my phone to the pc it shows up as omap4440 in device manager, then it disconnects and reconnects every 2 seconds..
I tried a omapflash program i found but it keeps saying waiting for phone to connect
quick update, managed to install the omap4440 drivers and reflashed my OMAP 4440, now i can get into download mode
good news guys, my phone works again, i am very happy.
thx for the omap flash tip!!
For people that might encounter the same.
download https://rapidshare.com/files/1168981...Flash_tuna.zip and unpack the zip on desktop or w/e.
now when your omap4440 is recognized by device manager quickly double click and install drivers(you have about 2 seconds) select search drivers on pc and select desktop(drivers are in the above download.
When thr drivers are installed run the *.bat file in the download
after that u can get into download mode and odin flash a stock rom.

so it's confirmed, it works at least for download mode. THANKS!!!
Can you please confirm that fastboot/bootloader is still available?
Yes i can confirm that. Everything is working as it should!
Actually in my case i didnt even have to odin flash anything. After omap reflash everything was working. Download/fastboot even my old rom booted fine.

maybe sbl or fat32 boot partition (x-loader, uboot, kernel) was missing.
one more thing: how long did omapflash took to complete?

About 9 seconds mate after that it said touch any key to continue but all it did was repeat the process so after 3 times i was like ****it. And yeah i dont think major files were corrupt in my case. Just some inportant ones.

[Q] Cant get into recovery, stuck on boot

Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.
:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness
Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.
Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.
Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

Are you using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port? use 20. if you're not already.

im using 2.0, i tried every usb port on my pc just in case....
The thing is it used to work earlier, before ive gone and messed it all up
Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.
Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off
Shameless bump =[
Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<
Have you tried flashing a stock rom with odin mobile? I've not used odin mobile so I have no idea what it can and can't do. But you could try flashing a stock rom and then put Cwm or twrp after you have checked it

No Command in Recovery/PC Wont Recognize..Solved!!!!!!!!!!!

My verizon galaxy nexus is saying no command once i boot to recovery....Dont know whats going on...It charges when the phone is off, but once its powered on it doesnt charge nor does my pc recognize it...
Anyone seen this before?
1) do not bump your own thread 10 MINUTES after your post.
2) did you change any system files? what did you do before this happened?

Apologize for the bump so fast
Performed the factory reset in recovery mode and my PC is still not seeing the phone..I plug my other nexus in and my PC sees it immediately...

What could be going on with my new one that my pc wont see it? How could I get it rooted and flash a rom to see if this could fix it?

No go with different cable and computer...It shows that its charging to the pc,but it will not recognize it....when i put my sim card in it links up to verizon and shows 4g. Im wondering if whoever had it before may have flashed something and messed something up....Im wondering is there a way to upload a rom (verizon) and twrp to dropbox and download it and root it that way and see if that fix the issue...Is there anything in the stock rom that could be missing that could cause this issue?
been looking for a .tar file of cwm to upload to drop box and download it and flash it with mobile odin since my pc cant recognize my Nexus and then download su from drop box reboot to recovery and then flash a verizon rom and see if that fix the issue...Is that sounding like a good plan or not?
SOLVED!!!!!! I figured I would try and swap my usb parts out and that was the culprit....So, it would charge but not allow the pc to see it.....
Thanks for the advice guys

[Q] Phone wont boot

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sgk-i317 16gb with a removable micro sd.
Yesterday I was trying to reset my phone and I did something wrong.
I somehow deleted my OS
The phone will boot in the "Downloading..." mode or doing the up volume to get to the TWRP page
I booted it in the downloading mode and now I dont know if I can turn it off again to get back to TWRP mode
I tried to install several roms before with twrp, some would say success, but do nothing, others wound simply fail.
Im in downloading mode, but it wont connect to my computer. I figured I could just get it back on Odin and start over and do a clean install.
My computer sees a device, but even after installing several versions of the samsung drivers it wont find it.
Kies wont find it either.
I dont know what else to do. Ive been messing with this for 12 hours now. All my stuff was backed up so I dont mind clearing the phone completely out, but idk where to go from here. Any help would really be appreciated.
Im new to smart phones so if you could dumb down your responses I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40966346
I know you said kies won't recognize the phone. When mine didn't boot. Nothing wasn't working. But when I used this method worked like a charm. And keep in mind when using this. When you plug up the phone to the pc. It's not going to do anything, but it will find it and load the stock firmware on there...
Good luck buddy...
Hopefully that resolves your issue

Kies wont see it.
Ive tired over 20 times.
I even tried the firmware upgrade and install by manually putting in my phone info, but it still doesnt see it.
I rebooted and can still get into either this mode or the TWRP mode.
Any more ideas? I really appreciate the help I cant afford another phone and this one was a gift :/

Odin wont see it. Id like to flash it stock just to get it running again.
Ive reinstalled the drivers, as well as older versions I found online and none of them are working.
Windows xp computer (old and ****ty) doesnt even pop up that I plugged something in.
My pc Win8 Does see it, but doesnt recognize it. Reinstalling drivers doesnt help.
Odin wont see it.
I can get back to the TWRP mode, so I thought putting a rom on my micro would work, but I havent found a rom that wanted to work yet.
Anyone have one that is known to work with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317?
Could I use keys to download the orig. rom and then use TWRP to install the rom?
I installed:
senselesskingdom 1.2.3 TWRP. zip
using TWRP
It says "success"
But just boots back into TWRP
You are not using a version for the note 2. The version is 2.6.something.
