Siyah kernel 3.1RC6 and BRICKED GALAXY S2

[buxz777]

Today one month exactly... my S2 is still in SA!
It's a really nightmare!!!

hope you get it back soon mate , have you been in touch with them at all?? what did they say if you have??

have a nice day

I also bricked my phone but it took 14 days to get it back they did a board swap. (Belgium )

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

wow a friend of me told me to redownload the kernel that day because i didnt see it and now i just read that it bricked some devices.

i guess i will be less flash-happy with new kernel releases in the future

Happend to me as well. Luckily my warranty period was not over so I got the mainboard replaced by the service centre free of charge.

 

[slk-A4]

no more responses in this topic, so I guess all bricked phones are repaired by Samsung or are bricked for ever (for those who are out of warranty).
I would like to know how many S2s were bricked by Siyah´s Kernel

Hey guys,

Sorry to be a pain, but my S2 bricked this morning when doing a factory reset from within Android 0_o

My thread is here:

Can anyone confirm I've been hit by this bug? I'm a lil confused at the moment...

Thanks!

My S2 is now ok, changing motherboard for free!
Siyah 3.3.2 it's now safe!

i have wrote a guide in a forum, what helps many peoples there with similar problems, like bootloops, not flashable and so on...

its in german, but think googletranslate can do

short... the thing is that THE BOOTLOADER from KH3 only can make the internal card working again!!! here you can download it from my dropbox.

flash this with odin, battery out, downloadmode, flash a 3part samfirmware, i recomend LPJ, because, last 3part.
then you can flash after a factoryreset all what you want

This is what I was looking for!!

My GS2 is back on track!!

YES!!

Thanks!

samsung s2 bricked

Hi Folks

I have rooted my device priorly and tried to update the device to Jelly Bean.
1. Flashed cache
2. Installed Speed mod kernel from the package

Speedmod Kernel:

Leaked ROM:

3. Restarted device in recovery mode
4. there was no display (went down with dimm pixels)
5. Hence restarted with (volume down_power+center button)
6. Via Odin updated the below
PITmap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit
PDA:CF-Root-SGS2_XW_ODD_KE8-v4.0-CWM4.tar


Then device went black and now im not able to do any thing.
Is there any one who have come across this situation. If recovered plz share your comments.

Why did you flash a pit file? From the name it looks like the pit file is for other SGS2 i.e I9100G as it says OMAP.

Can you boot into download mode? If not your device might have been permanently bricked and you will need to either go for JTAG or
go to service center.

 

[crusaderlong]

Since im new to this concept. I followed a stupid forum and just followed the steps. And this is where i end up now.

Finally, as you said i have given my hadset to samsung service centre and keeping my fingers crossed.

Lets hope for the best.

Thanks for your reply- atulalvenkar

You've basically flashed firmware meant for a totally different phone on your phone. Although both phones use SGS2 name they are very
different internally. The one talked about in this forum is I9100. The firmware you flashed is for I9100G.

If you have warranty it might be fixed under it. if not then they'll have to replace motherboard and charge about $150-200 depending on your
country.

Ar you sure, Replacing the motherboard is the only solution . Bcoz i read sometimes flashing the s/w also would fix the issue. Is it true?
If replaceing the MB is the only solution then in have to stop putting effort on this.

It looks like your brick has nothing to do with Superbrick. Looks like a traditional hardbrick. JTAG will probably fix you.

Please do more research and find the correct thread to discuss this, as you've necroed a completely unrelated thread (since all Siyah 3.1rc6 downloads were pulled months ago, this is the wrong thread.)

Like others said, you probably messed up the bootloader and when you can`t go into download mode anymore and there is no sign of life from your device, then either try for service center, if you still have warranty or give it to someone who can repair it via JTag.

What country are you living in?
I live in Germany and I saw people in German Forums that they do JTag repair for a little cash. Just try to find someone who can do this for you.

I live in India. If Jtag is the prime way. Then i have to find a geek..
