[Q] Is my phone dead? i've tried EVERYTHING but nothing works, stuck at logo

[macr1408]

Hi, i bought an used galaxy s2 i777. It is stuck at Samsung logo, also for any unknown reason it doesn't charge the battery, if i try to enter in any charge mode (plug the phone to the charger for example) a gray battery icon appears with a circle in the middle (not moving) and stucks there forever.

• Recovery doesn't work
• Only download mode works
• Stock binaries, nothing custom, i even think the phone is not even rooted
• Tried flashing 3 different stock roms with odin, all of them fails at the beginning "Nand write start!" and then fail, it doesn't even start to write in the memory
• Tried with heimdall, any partition that i want to flash stucks at 100%, and then after a long time, if i am lucky, i get a fail error, otherwise i have to unplug the phone
• tried flashing Siyah kernel (idk for what, but just trying), still fails (upload 100% forever)
• tried flashing a bootloader, still stuck at 100 (with heimdall) and then fails
• tried with a .pit on Odin and it stucks on "Set pit file... DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" forever, only tried with one pit found on a strange website, links here (dev-host) are dead

Here is what i got from Heimdall using "print-pit"

Do you think this can be solved? or is my phone totally dead? I would really appreciate your help

EDIT: right after posting this, i tried with a different pit file, which obviously failed and then my phone doesn't turn on, i guess that now is totally dead

Sounds like something is corrupt and you need to start over. Have you tried flashing the stock MD8 firmware .tar file in odin? You might also want to try using a different USB cable for ODIN. If all else fails then it might be a hardware issue.

Where can I download the stock UCMD8 file for the SGH-I777. I have a phone on UCKH7 I need to flash and it seems all the links are dead. I though I had it stored away on my computer but I can't find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. I downloaded it from SamMobile.
