Let me get this straight...
You had Nero V5 installed then u you tried installing Axura??
1. Take your battery out and put it back in (To make sure its off)
2. Open Odin on your PC..
3. Hold both Volume buttons while plugging the USB cord in...
4. It should go into Download Mode
Tried, still haven't work. Seem like everything on the phone is messed up. It wont even turn on to go into download mode.
I feel like such retard. Is there anything I can do, plz I need help

I did the same thing to my first Vibrant. It all worked out though, cuz the phone i got back was manufactured after October '10 so it had the hardware GPS fix.
The return was easy. I just told them that I plugged it in to let it charge overnight and when i woke up it wouldn't turn on.
Thanks, nice one

GUYS HELP! might have just bricked my phone

I went into clockwork recovery to flash the new bionix -v rom so i took the steps selected it in boot up it installed and i went back out and selected reboot now.
SO then like the moron that i am it didnt reboot right away so i waited about 30 seconds nothing came on. So took the battery out and put it back in. now it wont even turn on. ive even tried my jig with wont come on at all is it screwed. please tell me its not...
Go to the Bible and read up. I am guessing you probably need to use a usb cord plugged into the phone hold down the volume and start buttons then plug into the computer (make sure you already got Odin up)... that may be the way to get it to respond then odin back to JFD stock.
READ THE BIBLE this is in there somewhere it is the best source.

Did you come from a voodoo enabled ROM?
WHY did you do this?! It's stated so clear that it takes a long time on first boot, and you wait 30 seconds? My phone doesn't even boot normally (not off a fresh install) in 30 seconds. I've never had to use download mode, but I hear it can be pretty tricky so try all the methods you find many times to make sure it in fact doesn't work. But you'll definitely have to ODIN it looks like. Or you could go to T-Mobile and say you tried to use the 2.2 update from Samsung and it bonked your phone and see how sympathetic they are.
I think he means the screen was completely black for 30 seconds after he hit reboot. Bad sbl flash and hard brick most likely.
Happened to me when I tried to flash Nero for the first time. After a bit of tinkering I was able to Odin back to stock an then I just reflashed. Haven't had a problem since.
Make sure to disable voodoo.

I guarantee it wasn't from a lack of patience. He could have waited all year and nothing would have happened. The phone was already dead. Same **** happened to me.
Sorry to say, but your phone is bricked, OP. The only hope you have of bringing it back is with a riff box.
yup u bricked your phone . call samsung they offer free phones for replacemnt
but before you call samsubng for replacement do me a favor go put your phone on wall cahrger for 20 min and try to boot it right up try after 5 min plug in to wall charger while charging even tho u cant see it does bc screen is blank bull bat out put back in try to boot if it doesent work keep tryin that lket batt sit charging for lil bit longerr and retry . come back and tell us how it go ;>
if it fails leave phone chargionn for 10 min after that go to ur computer pull batt out ur phone hook up usb to computer hook it up to ur phone hold vol up vol down plug cable to ur phone while holding vol buttons and pop batt right in .....works ?

Could you be a little clearer with these directions I would certainly be willing to try this method. However, since this has happened leaving the phone on the charger for anything over ten minutes it becomes pretty hot. Not that it really matters, I don't think the phone could be any more borked at this point.

It connects to the jtag pins in your phone, and can reflash the bootloader.

Can you please switch off the phone and then try charging, just to see if the phone is being turned on automatically, which is the natural thing to do. Also check if the usb is being recognized when connected to a PC, to make sure that your cable is not broken.
Regards
E
Don't worry dude... same happened with me... ders nothing to worry about..
First of all.. remove battery for 15 mins... den put it in.. plug the power cable... DO NOT TURN ON....
The green light will glow... wait.. wait... the orange light must appear after 2 mins.. if not... just wait for it... it will go on...
I think it is caused when battery gets extremely empty... maybe... but it worked for me...

[Q] galaxy s2 won't come or charge

i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

May be many S2 devices have this problem. And I had too. It 's often hardware related problem. After reparing it 's ok. But firstly, try to clean charging port, if it does not resolve, bring it to service care.

i installed a custom rom, and it started losing power gradually even when it is connect to the computer. next day
it was like the condition rite now. you can see the red light, but the phone cannot boot, neither enter fastboot.
Try this: Not sure if it will work...
1) Just connect it to usb cable to pc... Leave it for few hrs..
2) Then open Sony PC Companion and try repair...
I Accidentaly bricked my gf acro s . Ended in bootloop and i did this.. It Worked.

Thanks,
I had a nasty problem, not charging with a new rom and not being able to fastboot etc, only a few seconds in recovery.
i searched my whole house for the acro-s dock, and plugged it in, then also plugged the usb on the phone to a pc usb port, don't know if that added some power, but this gave it enough power to instantly boot & charging... So now I can install a decent rom again.
