[Q] Rom Flash = Unable to charge - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed darky rom 9.3 to my vibrant this morning and everything went well and it booted up. Went to attach my charger and the screen goes black then the timer icon pops up and then the battery icon and then it loops repeatedly, I can't connect to the computer either it will recognize it and then after 5-10 seconds it loops again and loose the connection.
How can I fix this?

Flash a different ROM...I had issues with Darky's also...

[Q] Platypus Boot Looping

Ok so i recently tried to boot The Platypus rom and it had success but now my phone has just been looping from the original sgh screen and then it will flash the Platypus boot and then it will appear for about 3 seconds, after that sometimes in will show CWR and then for a split second the yellow triangle will show up. My phone just keeps doing it over and over. I tried to recover but it says there no recovery
How do i fix this?!
hey, sorry bro..my advice sort of got you here. But from what your describing...if that were to happen to me. I would straight up pull battery, plug in usb cable...hold volume down while re-inserting battery. bam download mode. Back to stock. Repeat from start.

WOW, I tried to go into download mode 50 times and it never worked, as soon as i read your post and do it exactly as you said it worked
Thanks
EDIT: Ok so by phone desided to do that again and doing the battery pull isnt working :l just loop de loop. When I do try to get into download mode it show the battery with the loading circle and just goes to Platypus and to CWR and loop.

Bricked?

My phone was running at about 60% battery last night, and working fine. It was in my pocket and it vibrated. I was unable to turn it on or reboot it, even after removing the battery. I tried using the battery from my wife's S2 but still no luck. I tried connecting the power supply but it still wouldn't boot so I left it charging overnight.
This morning it alternately flashed a fully green battery and a fully black battery. If I press and hold the power button it starts the boot process - I get past the Samsung splash screen and see the first "Resurrection Remix" splash screen, but then it reverts to displaying the green battery.
Any ideas for how I can revive the phone??

Ok We cant say its bricked!! Because its booting up but not coming to homescreen rite? Are u able to get into recovery or download mode?? If ur able o then wipe the data cache and dalvik cache, reinstall the ROM again.. If Recovery doesnt shw up.. Then Use ODIN to flash original fw!! Even if u still couldn get it.. Order a USB JIG from Ebay and try getting into DOWNLOAD MODE!! Even after this its still working means ITS BRICKED !!
Start download mode and the flash a new stock firmware . And your phone isnt bricked .!
This is why I always make a backup.
If you can get into download mode you can fix it, if you can't it's a service centre job. Pretty simple really.
Try cleaning charging port..

Uh oh...I managed to get into Recovery mode, did a factory reset and kicked off a re-install of the Resurrection Remix ROM from the external SD and it's hung at 50% (for 10 mins now) - at the "Extracting /system..." stage. I daren't interrupt it.
Any ideas???
Yes stop messing
1: If you dint have to save anything, wipe better to full wipe
Flash a stock Rom using Odin, than start again with custom roms.
OR
2: download your custom Rom again and flash, might be corrupt download.

So it's OK to interrupt this ROM flash, even though it's stuck at 50%? Should I just hold the power button or remove the battery??
pull the battery
But I say flash stock Rom first, lengthy procedure I know, but safer
OK I decided to reflash RR 2.3, which had been running fine for a couple of weeks previously. Immediately after flashing (which worked OK) the boot process wouldn't complete - it got as far as the RR splash screen then died (screen blank, and needed a long press on the power button to restart).
This happened several times. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery and it finally booted.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I've noticed that the phone often runs quite warm, but I don't know if that's normal.
You have to flash stock rom, only way to know if there is something wrong with your phone, run it for couple days.
Now to the heat issue, it is due to
1: modem
2: kernel
3: both

Has anyone had this problem? Device boot issues

I was using my phone and it notified me of a new update (CM9 Nightlies) when i told it to flash the new update ROM Toolbox stopped responding and i got the |Wait|Report|Ok prompt. Then the screen started flashing ever so slightly like it was trying to send the prompt into the background. The phone then immediately shut down and now when i try to boot it shows "Samsung Galaxy S II " and then the screen goes black , then the screen will flash black , hardly noticeably , and when i pull the battery immediately when i insert the battery it tries to boot. Also cannot get into CWM or Download. Can anyone help?

Take out battery. Hold volume key down and plug usb cable, which plugged to computer. You will enter to download mode. Put battery back and flash new rom.
use goo manager. For future reference. On the play store. Good luck, happy flashing.

[Q] Recharge boot loop

Hi,
I'm having this problem for a while and don't remember exactly how it occurred, if I remember well, it started happening after flashing a non-stock ROM with CWM, but can't really reproduce it.
Current CWM is Cyanogen CWM-based recovery v5.0.3.2. The problem persisted even when upgrading the ROM to 4.2 (PacRom).
Anyway, as for the problem itself, when I plug-in the device to charger while its off, I see a legacy loading star similar to this one for like 5 secs, then comes up the battery icon for a couple of seconds, and device is turned off again for another 3 seconds. The whole routine repeats over and over infinitely.
Note, that the device warms up during the charging process while it's turned off.
How to solve this?

Afaik, this behavior is normal. When the device is off and you plug it in via a wall charger, it's fine; it boot's up and shows the battery charging icon. However, if you plug it in via a USB port on a computer, you enter an endless boot loop.
Afaik, the only solution is to charge the device via a wall charger, or turn the device on normally and charge via any source you want.
Note: I have flashed back to stock just to test this and it behaved the same.
Note: Jelly bean roms seem to have an additional issue where, when you reboot the device while it's plugged in (any source), the device goes into the "charging only" mode. If you are plugged into a USB port then you end up in the above mentioned boot loop. The solution to that is to simply unplug the device before rebooting...

[Q] Hanging S2

Hello,
I rooted my S2 some time back with no problems and removed some Samsung bloatware. I did not install a custom ROM but did use Triangle Away to remove the start up screen. It's rooted with the Siyah Kernel
My issue is not with boot hanging, but hanging after starting,
My phone used to hang every now and then (twice a week) and a simple battery pull would solve the problem. Pull battery, reboot and it's fine.
Today, my battery ran out, and I placed it in charge and removed the phone after charging. My phone starts up fine, gets pass the Samsung logo, Siyah logo and I get my home screen. Here is where the problem starts.
I get the usual start up notifications e.g. "preparing USB storage", "power saving mode enabled" etc. I can then use the phone for roughly 4 seconds before it freezes. The touch screen does not respond. It freezes. The only thing that does work is pressing the home key 4 times to get negative colours. Apart from that, nothing. If I press the sleep button, the screen goes black and the phone is off. I restart and I get the same problem all over again.
TLDR: Rooted phone, hangs at homescreen upon boot, no custom ROM, battery pull doesn't work
Any help would be much appreciated!
