RIP Samsung S2

[zkab]

I screwed up my S2 when testing different ROM:s
Now it is dead ... can't power it on - only download mode works.
I tried to install the original Samsung ROM ... but it didn't work.
Is there a way to kick it alive ?

You can't even get into recovery?

Download Mode should let you use Odin to flash a stock firmware - is it not working either?

Both Recovery & Download mode works ... I loaded a kernel by mistake
Sorry ...

The fact that download mode works on your phone says the problem flashing the stock firmware is coming from your pc. Make sure you have the correct usb drivers. Make sure kies isn't running as this can interfere. A reboot of the pc can make sure. If not try a different usb hub or if possible a different cable

Sorry you ninja'd my post.
If a kernel caused the problem just flash the relevant cfroot kernel using this guide
