hey guys
i bought a Galaxy s couple of weeks ago (GT-I9000M). i rooted the phone using "one touch root".....then install "Vibrant9 Eclair 2.1" rom by "eugene373".....then before i could do the lag fix and Kernel, as soon as i plugged in my USB cable, my phone would shut down and go into a cycle of showing an empty battery icon (the phone is fully charged) then a black screen ...this would happen whenever i plugged in the USB in to the phone (no matter using my PC or wall charger) , it would automatically turn the phone off and do the same ..... after a while since i couldn't find a stock Bell rom ,i installed the T-mobile one using the following guide :
http:/ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748074
and btw right now the volume bottoms are other way round....(up turns down the sound and Vice-versa)
i was hoping if someone can help me out with this problem...so i can get my phone to connect again.(and fix the sound control volume)

hey
thanks for taking the time and answering .... but i have done the un-bricking thing as i mentioned .... i think i need a firmware that is not t-mobile cause my phone version is actually GT-I9000M not the SGH-T959 .... a firmware that i can use Odin and put on my phone using the download mode
cheers
Uh oh.. you're in loads of trouble because you're on the international phone and flashed a U.S. ROM.
I remembered when flashing the International leak of 2.2, it would cause a brick going back. Are you able to get into download mode? If you are, look in the I9000 forum for a Odin stock and try that.

ok so i know how to do things on my vibrant but dont really know exactly how the phone does things (basically im a directions follower) so im going to try to be as precise as possible
my phone has been rooted for a while and ive been experimenting with a bunch of roms. i decided to flash TWs nero v3 w/voodoo and i was pretty sure id stick with that for a while but some of my games started having issues so i decided to flash the newest axura. now something told me that i needed to disable voodoo first and there is usually a voodoo submenu in CW recovery but there wasnt so i figured it was disabled already
so i flashed it and everything was going well untill my screen went blank
now my phone acts like there is no battery in it
ive tried any button combinations with charger in (wall or computer) or out.
no matter what my screen stays blank...plz help
im not exactly in a situation to just buy a new phone.
Unplug the phone from the charger. take your battery out for at least 15 seconds. plug the phone to your computer via usb. while holding both vol+/-, not power, put the battery back in. you should be in download mode.
use odin to flash a stock rom.
this all should work if you have the samsung drivers installed on your comp.
Go to this link it should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737&highlight=bricked+phone
btw i followed what both above said and neither worked for me =/
thanx for ur suggestions though
Ive seen alot of these post lately and all were on nerov3 .

Well I guess that your best bet would be modifying the usb charger with resistors. as stated in the link that jewbrad suggested. A similar thing happened to my phone when I tried to go back to stock from nero, but instead of a blank screen, I got a small icon of a pc and phone with a triangle in between. The method that I posted did the trick. Maybe you should try it again and check odin to see if it recognizes your device, even if the phone might look like its off.

Have you tried having odin open on you pc and loaded with eugene's froyo that doesnt brick then with your phone turned off(pull the battery then put it back in) now hold the volume keys up and down at the same time then plug your usb cord that is plugged into your pc into your phone this should get you into downlod mode. If this workes flash it and let odin do its thing after its done running it will reboot and go to a recovery screen then it will try to boot up ounce you see the i9000 screen you can pull the battery again and get it back into download mode the same way you did before and then flash the stock vibrant rom tar file and pit. I dont know if this will work but it cant hurt I know how it is not having your phone working so hope this helps
Same thing happend to me.
Please let me know if you get it fixed.
I was on Nero V3 trying to reflash because GPS didn't work well.
i got in to boot loop so i tried to get back to stock and re-do it,
and this happened.
I took it tmobile and claimed the ota broke it..they sent me a new one
NVM!! link posted by jewbrad had No-Boot phone instruction, and it worked!!!
Oh lucky...I tried that n it failed
So i updated my vibrant last night from 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo through smasung kies mini.
Aftere it was done downloading and installing it says update finished and wait for phone to reboot. it hasnt rebooted ever since. i searched on all sorts of fourms this morning trying anything to get it to work. iv tried multiple download mode techniques but none of them work.
So my situation before this happen was i kinda missed the stock rom so i flash from bionix 1.3.1 to the true samsung vibrant stock rom 2.1 unrooted . and it worked everything was going great (I made sure i got all files of rooting,roms, kernlals,etc after) . i decided to put some music, videos ,etc and i decide to install the kies mini to get the update and as i said in the end it said done and wait till reboot and it never did.
It doesnt boot up , show logos, turn on, show charging icon when off and pluged in, it wont turn on!
So does anybody have any ideads or solutions?
Thanks you in advance to everyone.
Why exactly did you use kies?

i have a problem with my galaxy s2 exactly like this: got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.
When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.
With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.
The power button is not stuck.
It's not rooted: cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.
I fully charged my battery. No change
I drained my battery to 0%. No change
I tried another battery. No change.
Well i thing i should Re-flash a Bootloder or install another one, is there any idea how to do that throw ODIN1.85 Please please please help me im just

WELL....
Can you people be more clearly on Ur Tips Please, Do i have to Update Bootloader or Bootloader will Automatically update after i flash a Full firmware via Odin or during update a frimware do i need to click a tick there writting "UPDATE BOOTLOADER" or not or let me know any Solution pleaseeeeeeeeeee . English is my 3rd Langue so Please try to explane with a Simply English Brothers and sister. I feel sucks No one can fix my Problem here in Kosovo.
If you are going to flash New firmware via Odin from intratech you will automatically get the right (older) bootloader that lets you clear the flash counter with the jig.
If you have already flashed KI3 or KI8 from somewhere else chances are you will have the new bootloader flashed on your phone.
If that is the case intratech has the older bootloader that you can download and flash via Odin without having to flash the full firmware again.
Read the 1st few posts in his thread carefully for the exact steps to follow.
Good luck.

Well i try Many of Roms to flash i try with older and newer Problem still there, i think i need to Change a Usb Port (Electronic Usb maybe i demage with a bad Charger or Who know). Is there any Idea where i can Buy&Purchase Galaxy s2 Electronic Parts
I has this same problem after flashing ki4. Would not shut off. Kept booting up every time I tried to switch off. After a bit of searching I found a fix got my phone. Just remove the battery for 30 seconds. Reinstall and try again. Might not work for you but won't cost anything to try.
Edit
Just read. You already tried another battery do this won't help you. Sorry.

Hi folks,
Yesterday my phone was weird: The home button was opening a different page than the launcher (a sort of launcher with a clock and buttons, and when I tapped "escape" it drives to the official launcher), and some functions weren't working (such as the rotate toggle). Looked like something was updated, but a reset was needed.
Then I reseted the device and then it went to the ODIN mode with the green robot and the message "downloading, don't turn off target". It took too long. Like more than 4 hours. I left the device plugged in charger and went to bed.
Today I found the device turned off (probably the updated ended) and I can't boot. Actually nothing happens, no button combination, etc.
I tried to pull off the battery and put it back again, nothing happened.
I tried a soft wipe (hold the ON button for 7 seconds without the battery), nothing happened.
Could someone please help?
So....what firmware was installed originally? which rom did you try to install? It's all in the details. Oh, and which model Galaxy S2 do you have?

I didn't try to install anything.
I was using the latest verision of my country stock rom (The carrier is Claro). The update was automatically, I didn't choose to do that.
The model is I9100GT
Get, buy, borrow another full battery or external charger to charge your dead battery.
If out still won't boot:
try boot into recovery and factory reset
Or
Boot into download mode and flash firmware downloaded from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Edit: look for only G model firmware.
If none there, use check fus for windows to find and download firmware for your device, then flash in Odin.

I had a similar problem with a kies flash before. If it will go at least into download mode when a charger (not just a USB from a computer) is connected, your battery might be completely flat. try charging it in another phone.
Here is my panic thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22408184#post22408184
Hi Folks,
Thank you very much for the replies.
Now the cell phone is working. I guess that the charger went broke during the night (I have no idea why). I connected via USB and then I heard a sound, after that it went back to the upgrade screen (odin), and I reseted.
Now its working and I have no idea of what happened.
so why in hell would you leave your phone to download mode for night.

1) I have recently bought a Telus fascinate. I managed to get Darky's Rom 10.2 Ressurection onto the device no problem by simply following the official thread: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
2) Looked around a thread and I saw someone saying their T959D worked with (ICS 4.0.3 RC2.11). So, being the ICS fan that I am, I went to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223&highlight=bootloop and got the latest one (which was probably the mistake).
(RESULT)
3) I flashed it through my recovery and it "completed". As it restarted, this happened:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gfzR6PBSEo&feature=youtu.be
- I am unable to go into download mode with any method that I tried. It is quite unusual as I was able to go into it every other time before flashing the ICS ROM. (Notice how the usb connects then quickly disconnects in the video)
4) If the video was too quick, this is what came up.
then
(The android icon dies in the back and then the phone repeats that whole process)
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :crying:
Same issue I am having with ICS as well... (I have a question about it in the "One Stop Shop" thread...

What methods did you try getting into download mode? Have you tried the one where you take out the battery, then while holding the volume down and then plug in the usb to get into download mode?
For me to get into download mode i use a jig if i already screwed up lol

Have you tried pulling the battery, plug in USB cable, put battery back in(wait until battery charging symbol shows), then press and hold volume - and power...
It should boot into download mode.
"Gotta love XDA-Developers"
I had the same problem with my friends, threw on a Darky rom to get things rolling and then tried to flash helly bean. The phone is in an endless loop now, will a jig solve this? I've tried almost everything to get it into download mode but it's not working.
A jig definitely works.

Yup, the jig fixed things, encased a DIY one in hot glue for a more permanent jig. Running ICS now, we are still having problems getting JellyBean installed though.
