I am the (un) lucky owner of a sgs2 since three days.
past days everything was fine, no probs. at all. Then this morning my phone isnt responding at all. wont go on, tried battery pull en stuff, nothing works. Is it possible it is broken after only 3 days?
are there any other tricks? anyone has the same problem?
or do i just have to go back to the store and get a new one? (problem is i bought it online so it will take a couple days for a new one )
thanks.

Hold volume down, home and power all at the same time, it should boot into download mode. If it doesn't I'd say it's dead
i tried but wont work...

Take/send it back to where ever you bought it from and get a refund/exchange, I think you're right, it's f***ed

i don't know if you tried this in the part "en stuff", but did you try to charge the phone? maybe the battery drained out over the night...

Yeah that's probably a pretty good idea actually mate, try charging the thing before you make a total arse of yourself in the shop
did you charge the battery?
try another battery
LOL my SGS2 just did the same thing. I was gonna reboot it after having played around with default homescreen in default.prop, it had a 100% charged battery and now it won't start up again. Its completely dead. Not even download mode works...
Gonna try to leaving it without battery for a while or drain the battery somehow (with my tounge ) and try again. If that doesn't work, it's back to the store with this one. And it was all working so well until now...
EDIT: One hour later it magically started working again!!! I didn't do anything! just left it with the battery plugged in!
thnx im going to try charging it for a day, but i think its completely dead...
My brother's just told me that his S2 has died... he's not been able to get a 3G signal all day, and when he hard-reset the phone, it's come back with "Processing Error" and won't start.

I leave my phone charging overnight and was playing pandora when falling asleep, and when i woke up the phone was off... nowit wont turnon, ive pulled the battery, left for a few and came back, ive held the power button in, ive checked the cable, i dont know what to do now ....
Just read this thread before reading yours http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19364385#post19364385 . Apparently putting the phone and battery in the freezer will cool it down and it should work again...
ill try it but my phone wasnt hot
I seen to have a bug where occasionally the phone locks at
1200hz when charging. At that rate it depletes the battery even while still on the charger and the phone gets very hot. CPU spy confirms it.
Taking the battery out for a few seconds somehow fixes it

i guess im just going to have to go by att and see if they will let me try another battery... ive left the battery out all morning and its not helping, i just put it in the freezer, and it didnt change anything... this is very odd because the phone has been working great.

When you go there just don't tell them you put anything in the freezer as this may void your warranty.
gotcha. thanks all for the help... hopefully nothing is wrong with my phone itself. but ill report back later today when i get off work and get the chance to go over there. wish me luck
just an update from this morning
i took it to an att device support center where they told me they dont carry that device (sgs2) so i would have to go to a corp store, but ordered me a new battery free of charge
i went to one where they told me they no longer carry this phone because they replaced it skyrocket.
so i went to another store where they also dont carry anymore (the company stopped selling it) but they had an extra battery to try and it still didnt power on.
so i called warranty support and they had me run through some nonsense resetting techniques that didnt work and are sending me a new phone that i will replace and send the crapped out one back with.
i hate this... i have stuff on this phone i would like to save. (longshot i know) but if anyone has any ideas on how to revive my phone before i get my replacement please help me out. otherwise i guess i will cut my losses and lose some un replaceable data
That sucks man, have you tried using a jig? Or putting it in download mode?
i dont have a jig, but i did try recover/download modes and using usb as i was trying to power on... nothing :/
Did you try holding volume up and down (not holding power) and plugging in USB? That is an alternate download mode. Also the jig might do it, but it will take a few days to ship.

I just tried this a few times, it didnt work either, it'll be 2-3 days
If you do order the replacement you can still try the jig. That's what I would do, get a new phone anyway, then you have 10 days to get the old one working and transfer the files. But if you get a jig and it doesn't work then you have to wait another 2 days for a new phone (in my AT&T experience "overnight" was always 2 days).
you probably didnt read my earlier post... i have already ordered the phone.
ill add that it was scheduled for 6-7 days and i paid $15 to have it changed to express 2-3 days
but thank you, and ill probably go to radioshack and buy what i need to make a jig tomorrow and see if it works, ive tried everything else i guess
another update... i received my replacement today... there is a line of dead pixels down the screen so i called them and they are overnighting another one
You got terrible luck! That sucks. So are they giving you a SGS2 or Skyrocket?

Hey guys.
My S3 just died on me.
I left it charging over night, in the morning pulled it out - battery 100% - and play on it for about 5 mins.
After that I simply left the phone on the table, and after a couple of hours, when I picked it up to make a phone call, the phone was shut down.
I tried to turn it on - nothing. Tried the 3-button combinations, nothing! I pulled the battery out and everything - nothing.
I then left it for charge for about 10-15 mins and then tried again - nothing (
Left it charging for a couple of hours, also tried with a other 3 chargers and cables - nope!
I went to a samsung store and tried a new battery, same same
It seems that I have to send it for repairs, but there is a bigger problem: I have a custom rom installed on it - therefore no warranty(
Is there a way of flashing the stock rom with it like this?
Any ideas or anyone had the problem?

Looks like you GS3 died completly (motherboard) , so don't worry that you have a custom rom, they will not be able to check it anyway.
Good luck

Ok, so you say that it might still be covered by warranty?
Won't they still be able to check the flash count?

Yes , if is dead motherboard is still under warranty and no they cannot and they will not check anything. Check the sudden death thread and you will see how many are with same problem as you and they got their phones fixed without any problem.

Here's how it happened :
Flashed latest Dorimanx kernel last night on the latest Disaster Rom and then began texting,watching some youtube,usual stuff and then went to sleep.
In the morning I couldn't turn it on.
Then I hold the power button but it went bootlooping and kept staying on that Dorimanx starting image.
I succesfully booted and it showed battery at 9% ( it was at 90% when I went to bed).
My first thought was to wipe cache so I did that.But here's the problem.
It got stuck at wiping cache and nothing happened so I removed the battery and then it was dead.No sign of life.
So my question is: It's completely bricked and I can get it returned whitout them knowing that I have been using custom ROM's ?
Cheers

Did you tried to charge it for at least 20 minutes?
If it won't charge, try to replace battery...
Bootloop is not a big deal (wipes will do the job) try replace/charge battery first, then if you still have problems just flash stock via odin and start over...
What I'm trying to say it's that it doesn't show any sign of life.No download mode,no recovery,no nothing.
I've left it with the charger plugged in for about 3 hours and nothing.

check the battery voltage, and or charge the battery externally. make sure its not a power issue first.
And what we're trying to say is try another battery. If that doesn't work, finita la musica.

Yoh. It happened to me before. Some said charge your phone for a while. If it becomes warm near the battery, you can unbrick it a jig.
But my phone didn't get warm. So, I send it to the Samsung service center and yesterday I got it back.
Samsung messed with me for two times! I'm not going to buy another samsung.
That's nice. I've had my phone 15 months & had zero problems with it. Funny about that (there's a hint in there for people clever enough to figure it out).

Hey no worries bro I have bricked 2 sgs2's already and 1 sgs3. Yours is not bricked, happened to me as well. All you must do is connect usb to pc, while keeping the battery out. Then try turn it on normally. then, while it is on, insert your battery again and leave it to charge via usb for a while(tille batt is at least 85%, what I did). Then, before unplugging usb, turn phone off. Unplug usb and go into recovery and flash as per usual. You should be good now. Hope it helps.

Another guy had a problem somewhat similar to this... phone went dead, had charging issues. His phone claimed it was charging but wouldn't start or anything. Try just leaving it on the charger for a few days.
It was as if the charging circuit on his phone went bananas. He literally had to charge it for a couple days. A couple hours wasn't enough

Best I can say is reflash your ROM from scratch. Sounds like your backup was corrupt somehow.

i can't get in S/w upgrade mode
i'm thinking in motherboard issue
or related to motherboard something that blocks battery charging from cable
(if i try to charge it externally? would be useless?)

Same thing happened to me last night I left phone on charger during the night and could not turn on in the morning. I tried fastboot with no success. Did you try to replace battery?
I would guess the battery needs a JumpStart. I mean omap4boot seems unlikely to work as the device needs the battery in to stay on so I'm guessing battery needs charging somehow. If the phone ever flickers on for a brief instance when using omap4boot then I would assume the phone is still good.
