Hi all,

Am new to this fourm I think I have bricked my GS2 I installed a ICS rom which did not have camera support so I decided to go back to using my Lightning rom which I had. But after installing it correctly it would stay on the Galaxy start up screen.

And now my phone will not switch on it is no over heated I have tried a new battery. It is dead no response what so ever does any one know what the problem is thanks.
 
See if you can get it into download mode. Hold volume down+home button+power button at the same time and keep them pressed for about 10 seconds or until you see anything on screen. If that does not work, a USB jig may also be useful .This is a small device which can help with a "soft" brick situation and get you into download mode where you can then go about getting your phone back up and running. You can pick them up off ebay very cheaply.
If neither option works not sure what else you can try other than leave battery out for a day then see if it fires back up.
 
same issue i tried to install 4.0 ice cream sandwhich thru odin and it said falil so i got stupid and scared and pulled the usb and now black screen death
 
As mentioned above, a USB jig may help you get back to download mode if you cannot enter it by the usual manner.
