Bricked SGSII Tmobile

Hey guys some help I bricked the SGSII t989 tmobile and it has the yellow triangle pops up telling me to go to Kies and recover it. I feel really bad now and am downgraded to a google voice and gmail, going to get a G1 tommorrow from a friend.
Any chance someone could post the original firmware zImage md5 so I could flash it back? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to try to get some sleep.
Thank you very much for any help and assistance.
A second question - how to get back into download mode I can't access adb and the home/volumedown/power does not work.
EDIT: I just realized that nobody has pulled the zimage yet, in that case there is no smiley appropriate for the moment.

Both hold volumedown and volumeup ，then conect it to your computert with data line。
It will show you download mode option。
otherwise
1、Full power；
2、try 301k Resistance？ok？

how did u brick it? its not even rooted yet???

Why would you use the .TAR file from another Galaxy S II Variant? The other galaxy S II devices have different processors and are running different versions of android and if you go look at the Kernel version on the T-Mobile Galaxy S II its just a number EX: (2.6.35.11) as opposed to a sequence of numbers and letters. You will have to wait till there is a way to root the Galaxy S II for T-Mobile if holding the up and down volume keys and Plugging up to the computer does not work.

Dude. Why would you do something so dumb. The only thing this version shares with other GS2's is the screen.
I can see this section is gonna be a blast to be a part of. SMH

Yea, im sorry man. Didnt mean to be a prick. I know it sucks having a useless device and having to wait. Ive been impatient before and made mistakes. I hope this is a lesson in patience for you.

How is that trial and error? Everyone knew from day 1 those exploits wouldn't work... Seemed obvious to me at least.
As far as the op goes, take it back to Tmobile and play dumb. Don't say a thing about flashing, hopefully they'll replace it.
If not, boned till we get root and someone can compile a flashable stock ROM for you.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S III Rooted/Installed ROM... Now won't power on. Help!

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a little help today.
I rooted my new Sprint Galaxy S III using Odin3-v3.04, and CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7. Afterwards I rebooted and all was good.
I then downloaded I9300_Omega_v6.0_XXALF6 ROM and loaded on my phone and rebooted into recovery to install the ROM. I went through the install process, selected remove bloatware and installed. When finished I checked the reboot phone and clicked finish. The phone turned off and didn't ever turn back on.
I have pulled the battery and tried to power on using recovery, download mode and just power but nothing works.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thank you for your time and help.

New phone on the way!
I was able to get a replacement sent from Sprint. Had to go to a corporate store and have a tech look at the phone and they agreed it was toast...
Luckily they didn't know it was due to my failed attempt to load an unsupported ROM.
Lesson learned... new phone should be in by the end of the week.
I'll be waiting for a supported ROM this time.

Oh man tell me about it, I almost stupidly went on to the CM9 nightlies and downloaded the I9300 version before I thought to myself, "well wait a minute, that's not my model number!"
Duh, shoulda had a V8.

I didnt install a GSM rom but still managed to brick somehow. Didnt touch any system files or do anything to where i should be bricked either. Any idea when a full stock Odin package will be made? My phone has been bricked for almost 2 days now

My phone got stuck booting, so I tried to install the omega rom. The install worked well, and I clicked "reboot." Now the phone won't turn on. I can't get to ODIN or recovery anymore.
Did you guys find any fixes?

What happened is that you flashed a rom that was meant for the international version of the S3 and your on the US version. The only fix I have found is to send it to mobiletechvideos.com. I did and they say they can fix it and maybe save my data I have on it ( I just sent it in)
My fingers are crossed for the data recovery but as far as the phone I am going to send it for a exchange anyway.

Welp, I'm sad to say I just did the same thing too. Should have read. I'm a stinkin noob at this. I installed the I9300 version on a US version phone. Has there been any more development on this? Is the hardware fried, or is there a fix through that mobiletechvideos.com that was mentioned? What was the outcome of that, Taygutta, if you don't mind me re-bringing back up a potentially painful topic?? This thread made me a little sick, since it's my brother's new phone (someone else that knew what they were doing rooted it for him but he didn't like the rom, so I thought I would help him find a few other options to try flashing.)
Anyway, any confirmation that I'm buying my brother a new phone (so I can emotionally prepare for the purchase) or are there some other options?

There's one more thing you can try. There's a little device called a USB Jig. It was made for SGS-2 to clear the yellow triangle and reset flash counts in ODIN mode. It also puts your phone in ODIN mode by simply plugging it into the USB port of a powered down phone. Once in ODIN mode, you can reflash a stock ROM, recovery, etc. You can buy these for around $20 or less on the web.
If this does not work, I'm afraid nothing will.
Good luck.

[ROM][ODIN](RESTORE)LATEST STOCK ROM L710VPALI3 and L710SPRBLJ7

Updated Stock tar files for use in ODIN.These are UNROOTED so i have left recovery out of them for easy re-rooting. (Stock recovery below)
In addition to recovery, your modem will also remain untouched. This was not by choice. Odin will not flash anything but the LEN modem. As with everything else you have flashed, wipe data/factory reset before flashing or you will most likely hang on the glowing samsung boot screen.

Ill get on that as soon as i get home.
And as far as the modems go i have no idea. I would guess its a qualcomm thing. Ive tried with every one and it fails with an error on the phone saying
SECURE CHECK FAIL : modem
Any devs out there that know feel free to chime in here. but i got nothin on that.
Pisses me off, never had a phone that wouldn't flash a modem with odin

Thanks for this. I have been eanting to start fresh and this really helps.

I did a full wipe in CWM and flashed this with ODIN as described, and I'm noticing that my sound volume levels are a bit weaker than before, is this normal? I have the levels maxed out in Settings too...

I just flashed the JB leak and everything is great but my windy weather live wallpaper keeps force closing but my other live wallpapers work fine. Any ideas? I love that wallpaper.

OP UPDATED. MD5 Checksums added

The weirdest thing thing is happening to me and I just noticed it tonight and nearly pooped my pants. My phone randomly jumps to 4G but LTE is only available officially north of Boston, very south of Boston and the middle of the cape...I'm in a suburb about 15 minutes away from the city. They could be testing it around my area, but is it possible this ROM is playing tricks on me? If I notice 4G, I go to my speedtest app and it won't connect to a server unless it switches back to 3G. It seems to not keep the connection.
I feel like someone has a dollar on a fishing line and keeps pulling it away when I get close.
Edit: shucks, it edited out sh!t. Changed to more family friendly term.

ran the update, installed cwm and the phone works flawlessly minus one issue. gaming has become laggy. anyone else with studder or lag issues?

Aww man. It figures, I just finished flashing another rom like, about 18 hours ago. Now with finals coming up, I don't have time to do this one! Oh well, I guess I have something to do AFTER finals then, hahaha.

Is your power saving mode on? I've always found it makes so many things laggy, unfortunately. Might be enabled by default on the rom. Worth a look.

Great community here. Yesterday I was non-rooted ICS. Today I'm rooted JB with Wallet.
My phone just got 1000% better.

First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

Damn I had that same Play Store FC problem yesterday -- I wish I'd have figured that out. I ended up doing factory reset lol.
I receive same fix permission error as you, but I rebooted into recovery to do it.

You didn't happen to play with the camera at all, did you?
I can live with the Fix Permissions via CMW, so that would clear up 2 out of 3 of my problems. All I need is a fix for the Gallery problem, and I can go back to Official JB.
Thanks!

Howl long was the flash?
I'm inside Odin on flashing system.img.ext4 right now and it stays there which looks like about 20% for last 10 minutes with no forward movement.
How long do I need to wait before I consider something is wrong with flash process?
Changing cable to Samsung one did the trick if you are in the same situation.

If you are talking about flashing the root injected JB i post, yes you can flash it after upgrading and no it won't wipe anything in data, everything should be preserved for you.

Weather here sux.... Hovering slightly above 0 degrees with 80 mph winds for the last week so add on the wind chill factor and u can only imagine... And no snow yet.
So far no other issues with this rom. Seems to run perfectly. Now just waiting for someone to write a power menu options and enable stock tethering script =P

[Q]What went wrong with my Liquid Smooth ROM?

OK ofcourse as all noobs do when they start a noob thread they state that they are a noob... Well I am a noob. and I need help as we noobs tend to ask for. I Apologize but I have done a fair share of reading and before I go of and destroy the phone further I wanted to give my own thread a try.
ok...
So I got this ATT GS3 everything was cool from the store but I wanted to reverse Apps (I Tinker with code here and there). Which would require a simple root. Great... Followed the Simple self explanatory TUT "How to root your phone without tripping the flash Counter". Started doing my thing blah,blah,blah. should have been satisfied. (Here is where the Noob Kicks In). Saw how sick the liquid smooth rom was. loved the look was just tired of stock. so I did it. flashed the rom (No Backup whatsoever just exported contact list :crying At a first glance I was in love still doing my thing.... then I started noticing the glitches (mainly video related). got a newborn and could never just bust out the camera and play proud daddy. So I decided to go back. this is where the big problem Happened. My PC doesn't recognize the Phone via USB(I've tried 4 other computers). Ive read atleast 10 threads and they all say I should go in the dialer but no one has a custom ROM. So Now I cant even debug apps on my phone. I don't know what to do?
From 4.1.2 to Liquid Smooth 4.2.2
Please Help
Sorry if that seems long.

'm not an expert but it sounds to me like you will need to use odin as described in this thread.

Yes Using Odin would be a dream but my PC does not recognize the phone.... so IM stuck. there is a ODIN App now does anyone think I should give that a try?. Like I sed I just don't want to make things worst. all suggestions would be helpful

Do you have android debugging checked under developer settings? If no, try that. Had that problem awhile back and that cleared it. Also, have you tried using another USB cable to connect to your computer? Also have run into problems connecting to the computer because of that. Mobile Odin might be your only option if you can get it on your phone. Just search and read carefully.

ok so I used mobile odin to flash the stock image back on the phone... For Future reference After you flash stock image you go back into the phone in recovery mode and wipe all data (Cache,Dalvic, Factory Reset) I had a crazy issue that side tracked me for about 45 minutes. I got a Flashing Samsung Logo. just put it like this I was already on craigslist looking for another phone. anyway USB debugging still doesn't work but. atleast im back to stock incase I gotta deal with Samsung or AT&T I can prolly slide through

Weird.
When you connect your phone to your computer does it charge? Ive had this problem recently and the phone would charge while connected to the computer, I just couldn't use mass storage. Buying a new cable fixed it though. I'm at a loss.
Maybe now you're on stock try the dialer commands you mentioned in the O.P.. If you haven't already.
Anyway, good luck. if you figure it you should post what you did.
