so..

I'm so sad, but the people say when get in the download mode, there is still hope, so...

by any chance, do you have another solution? I understand if you give up on me, it seems my problem is serious ;(


Are you using ODIN V1.83 or 85?

This can't be a hard brick.

Can you go to recovery mode? If so, wipe cache and data.

Then try to reflash

UpInTheAir, I didn't try the Heimdall method because I don't know how to flash with Heimdall, do you have anytutorial or simple guide how to use it?

Phistachio, I'm using Odin3 v.1.85. The recovery mode is the combo [vol up+home+power button] right? If so, it's not entering anymore, when I had the problem I could get in there, I tried to wipe all the things but it didn't work.

Do you guys think it could be a hardware problem?

OK, did a search for you, doesn't seem too difficult.......

Download here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/


For Windows, download:

1.Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)


2. Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 (Binaries)

Maybe need to install the drivers, not sure. If your device is dected by Heimdall in Download Mode, maybe work.........

Guide for version 1.3.1 heimdall-frontend here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1196179

EDIT: STEP BY STEP GUIDE FROM VEYKA

This is for I9000 but has been known to work with SGS2.

Maybe try just flash the kernel with Odin, so you can get recovery back.

You could also try flash one of Chainfire CF-root kernel to install CWM recovery, and then flash a custom ROM.zip directly from sdcard.

Got a feeling that your partitions are corrupted. That's why using PIT is not recommend and only last resort.

This doesn't sound bricked.

I reckon you can fix it via heimdall, flashing each partition individually...

Failing that, your last resort is to do a full repartition, using pit


Having trouble getting an answer? | What is XDA about? | How to ask for help?

if [ $PM.incoming.type = $type.question.ROM.how_to_use ] || [ $PM.incoming.type = $type.question.ROM.silly_question ]; then mv $PM.incoming /.trash; PM.response($responsetype.ignore); $PM.sender.ignore_in_future=true; init.sequence($boy_who_cried_wolf); fi;


If you wish to apply for one of the Recognized Themer/Contributor titles, or have a question, please DO NOT send me a PM about it. Instead please contact your device's forum moderator, or a senior moderator, who will deal with your application. Thanks

He already tried doing that...

It's not hard bricked, but a kernel flash SHOULD have been siccessful, since DL Mode is working...

If you take a quick look at the recent posts, the OP had not indicated trying Heimdall as yet. He asked for a guide that I subsequently posted.

Guys, I downloaded Heimdall, installed .Microsoft Visual C++ and downloaded the 2.3.4 Heimdall firmware package for stock GT-I9000 firmwares, from the that thread, so I followed the guide, I removed all the stuff, but the Kernel one and tried to flash, that's the result:

Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12

It seems like Heimdall doesn't detect the phone? Sorry for being a noob and I really appreciate all the effort from you guys, I really do.

EDIT:

I entered in the drivers session, put all devices, and it found some drivers of my pc and one called Gadget Serial, so I installed it, ok, back to Heimdall, I selected the stock 2.3.4 one, deleted all the stuff and left the Kernel, unchecked Repartition and now I got this:

Checking if protocol is initialised...
Protocol is not initialised.
Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Failed to initialise protocol!

EDIT:

It looks live the phone is officially dead now, it doesn't turn on and it was very hot after I left the Download Mode. I'm gonna try to turn it on tomorrow and start look for a new one/warranty/what I can sell from this phone and etc...

Thanks again, guys, you were the best.

Bummer

Looks like you tried to flash 9000 firmware package, not 9100.

Edit: Maybe try remove battery for a few minutes, and download mode again, or USB jig to force it.
