Root Samsung S2 (almost) bricked. Any chance of fix?

[David Kelly]

Hi Android Forums.
Here's an interesting one for you guys. Maybe you can help!

I have a Samsung SGS2 GT-I9100 that became bricked while flashing Siyah kernel.

The phone powers on and now hangs on the boot screen.
The phone can go into Download Mode **maybe
It can't go into Fastboot Mode .

Here's where it gets fun...

When connecting the phone in download mode to a Windows machine, it detects the phone and loads the SGS2 drivers.

Kies cant connect to the phone.

Heimdall "detects" the phone also but errors out when I try and flash anything. (libsub error -12).
**I've two good condition cables so I think we can rule that out.
**I've also connected the device to a Mac with Heimdall and gotten similar libsub error
I'm pretty sure the phone didn't have USB debugging enabled before the incident.

The Android Forums mini SDK ADB/Fastboot commands don't detect the device.

So Android Forums, what do you think. Do you think it's recoverable?
Is there a way to reenable USB debugging or flash CMW at a very low level (I mean, if download mode loads the SGS2 drivers in windows, is there a way to send information back over the USB cable?)
**edit*Would a USB jig be of any use?

All the best,

David
