[Q] TMO Galaxy s2 Won't Turn On - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Probably bricked it, but idk HOW it got bricked, I rooted it following the Tmo version root on here, and then I installed MIUI via clockwork recov, and it installed. Now it isn't turning on....I just got it today, and I really don't want to go back to T-Mobile and look like a psycho coming in everytime. I mean I do got insurance on it, so if that's the last resort, then so be it. But for now, any ideas???

I can't get it to flash. It loses connection after the first reboot... this is frustrating.
Well, disregard. I'm inpatient.
did it work the ruu does take awhile
Yeah it worked... took about 10 minutes... I swear it was screwing up on me. I ran the exe after getting the phone into bootloader mode.

Phone is dead after trying to Use Odin to flash to stock..

Ok I was trying to flash new rom...so I flashed to stock...I used Odin3 V1.0 with 3 combo fix....but after the process finished in Odin...and it showed Reset....my phone should have rebooted right? But it didnt reboot...just got dead...I removed everything and tried to start it no use...even used jig...but its no responsive...I am not panicked (as it was my experimentation phone)...but trying to find what to do in that case...battery was full too....
Sorry for another "bricked phone" thread....
You get nothing at all even with a jig?
You may have fully bricked it. I know a person that can probably fix it if you want to put the $ into it. If not hopefully someone on here can help you.
The guy that fixed mine is known as connexion2005 on xda. He does the rom reviews on youtube.
Best of luck to you, I hope you get it going.

Either fully bricked or your battery died. Before you go to the extreme, find someone woth the same phone to charge your battery

A few questions first:
What ROM did he try to flash?
Did he try to flash it through Clockwork Recovery or ROM Manager?
When you try to turn the phone on, does the backlight come on the screen or anything? Or does it just sit there without even making an attempt to turn on?
Flashing the wrong ROM would not hard brick your phone. The install of the ROM would simply fail. If anything, it sounds like your friend tried to flash a ROM and the battery either died or was taken out during flashing. Please post back so we can all try to help.
He is talking about me
I flashed it through CWM and went to restart and now the phone is dead
No lights nothing no vibrate it simply will not turn on
flashed it with
O2X FLAIR GB v4 REVOLUTION FINAL (based on LG v20L)
for optimus
From what I am thinking The power button is no longer assigned?
I am guessing

So the ROM flashed but when you went to reboot, that's when the phone froze up?
Are you 100% sure there was enough battery life when you flashed it? You really might have hard-bricked it. I figured the ROM would just simply fail installing because that's usually what happens.

I think it might be something with the splash screen.

Were you doing this through ROM Manager or just flashing through Recovery?

I have to wait 5 mins between posts
I selected the reboot phone option.
I had successfully flashed gingervolt but thought this was another option.

I honestly don't know what to say. If the phone is completely unresponsive then it very well could be a hard-brick. The only thing you can do then is call Verizon, tell them that you had a software update for your Revolution and the phone shut off in the middle of the update and now will not come on at all. They'll probably send you a free one (hopefully). That's really about the only thing I can think of. Have you tried just plugging it in to see if it charges at all? Plug it in and see if either the screen will come on or you at least get the LED light to come on. If not then do what I said a second ago and call Verizon.
Yeah I get nothing, they are going to send me a new one. Thanks anyway.

Yeah I've been there, it sucks really bad. The reason why it happened other than the fact that the ROM is for a different phone, is because the ROM has a boot.img that is not compatible with the Revolution. So once you changed the boot.img the phone was no longer able to boot up. At least that's what I think about it.

Glad you could resolve this by you're self.I had something similar happen to me while trying to flash Blackstars ROM. Turned out to be a bad download of his ROM and I got stuck in boot loops zone lol. All I did was download the stock odex ROM from the Dev section and all went back to normal.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.
