Hi
Today I rebooted my Samsung Galaxy S 2 and for some reason it is not working anymore.
No idea why this has happened
I tried everything Recovery Mode - Cant get into
Download Mode I cant get into
Tried removing the battery then putting it back in still nothing at all
On the back I can feel the phone is getting warm but nothing on the screen
It was working fine yesterday and I havent done anything to the phone yesterday
Please help if you know anything?
Thanks
Sounds like a hardware fail. I hate to say it but it sounds like returning it is the option.

Did you have any update fails recently? Update fails were the reason some Galaxy S phones would not turn on.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
No.
It has the latest software so there wasn't a need for update
It was working fine for the first hour this morning and then I rebooted my phone because it froze but now won't turn on at all.
Should of backed up my data!
The device gets warm but nothing on the screen tried everything that is available on this forum.
Do I have to pay for this if it's faulty I only had it about a month now I think?
When plugged in on the usb charger, if you toggle the volume rocker will the display turn on and show the battery level?

I ordered a JIG, however I don't know if it helps in case the bootloader is dead

Were you overclocking?If yes,how much?Maybe you fried something.
Also,if yes,I'm reading about the state of my phone a month from now!
Not sure what's going on there. did u do any recent 3rd party software downloads? I'd return n get a replacement

First I'll try a JIG - if it arrives on time... (desperately need the phone in 5 days)
fjosef871: have you tried a JIG to get into download mode?
hello all
well iam posting this and i hope someone can help me out ....
2 days ago ive flashed my sgs 2 with the sensation rom 3.0 and well from the thread there i read that i have to flash the CF root kernel to the phone to get the rom working ... and thats what i did exactly , after flashing the rom worked and it was really pretty rom i liked it alot , however after flashing i noticed that its not easy to turn the phone screen on after locking it !!
i was busy that time and didnt do anything about it !
sadly after 15 to 20 min i wanted to make a call and at that moment the screen didnt want to fire at all !
i took the battery off and powered the phone again ... and i was shocked when i heared the notification of new email with nothing at all on my screen !
i thought it should be bad kernel for my model
so i downloaded the original firmware and odin was running again and all the that
but nothing !!! when the phone restarted after the flashing is done i heared the boot sound of it with still nothing on my screen !!!

Let me get this straight. You took it to Samsung who told you the answer. You posted the answer here, then asked XDA members to read it back to you?
The problem is the board.
thanx for replying
yes they told me the problem is the board , what iam asking here is if anyone in xda know what happen to the board that allow it perform all the os tasks except the screen ... is it the lcd filters ?? coz few minutes ago it came to my mind !
should i lose hope with this phone or try to fix it ?
thats the question

Power long press
Been there .. long press the power button till it restarts .. it's just crashed
21st September 2013
So i bought my HTC one on 4th of July from T-Mobile, was hell of an adventure saw dead pixel on mine in 2 days and the colors were different to be honest better than all other HTC one's.. blacks were deeper, whites were whiter..but the dead pixel and phone being different was worrysome so i changed the phone ..T-mobile did it without much problems .. Fast fwd to 10 days back the phone started giving foce close on apps "Gmail has stopped working" .. "Whatsapp has stopped working" so on and so forth even when i was not using those apps .. this was accompanied by phone hanging at times ... then started the random reboots .. I sent the feedback and error reports to HTC .. the screen would hang after and during calls .. Then final and most imp thing the phone screen hung and i could not put it to sleep or restart .. tried several times .. Then did a soft reset by holding the power button and now when the phone turned on it was stuck on boot screen for 10 minutes ... i kept soft resetting and after some attempts it booted .. Airplane mode was on.. and it had the default wallpaper and lockscreen .. then when i unlocked the screen it did not ask for my pin but showed that the phone was asking for a password to access storage and showed two buttons DECRYPT and EMERGENCY CALL .. Upon my investigation I realized it is an hardware issue.. the phone is not able to access drive and thinks it is encrypted .. tried to factory reset too ..
The phone was completely stock..Unrooted and i did not touch the bootloader at all..
The only reason i am writing this is coz if any of you are facing this problem ..get your phone exchanged and claim warranty..
I took it to T-Mobile with the dercypt mode still showing .. they tried to restart it and then it would not turn back on .. hence if u see decrypt mode ..rush to your seller .. do not try to restart it .. .....
Enjoy your one .. I hope this was a problem unique to me .. I love HTC One.. Hope HTC knows what they are doing and the product quality has not deteriorated ...
Best
So you wrote all this just to say you exchanging your phone for a new one?

No I wrote this story in a neutral way so that it should not look like I am giving bad name to HTC or T-Mobile .. they are doing their part .. If u read carefully u will know I have written how it all started .. and the symptoms that occurred .. so what I am doing here is telling people that when they see these symptoms .. Just go and change your set .. don't try to root or s-off to fix it as this is hardware issue not many people know about decrypt mode .. Also they will try to blame u by asking if you tried to root or hack your phone ..
