How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S2 / S II T989 Phone To Ice Cream Sandwich!

galaxy, galaxy s2, how to, Ice Cream Sandwich, ics, s ii, s2, samsung, T-Mobile, t989, unbrick, windows

A hard bricked phone is when your phone does not turn on at all. When you can’t get in to CWR/CWM or stock recovery. You are basically screwed. There is no way of getting out of a hard bricked phone. You must sell it or get a replacement phone from your carrier / manufacture.

A soft bricked phone is when your phone bootloops. When you can get into CWR/CWM. When you can use jitag to get into download mode. A softbricked phone is when your are stuck at the bootloop and you can't get out of the bootloop.

This will delete EVERYTHING on your internal SD card. Not external SD card

This method and any other method will only unbrick a soft bricked phone!

Download / Install Samsung Kies if you already don't: Here
