Hello,
I have a Galaxy s2 but when i grab my phone it was off, but i didn't shutdown my phone
when i press the power button it do nothing. It happens when i'm sleeping so i don't what the reason is.
i can't put it in recovery or download modus because it won't startup.
I want to know the reason for this and i don't like to send it back because i'm going to miss my phone.
have you tryed using a download jig?
Have you tried charging the phone ///
jje

Guys, after taking the battery out and putting it back in, hold down the power switch for up to 60 secs and it should start, i've done the same b4.

Turn off your phone either by taking otu hte battery or by pressing power button for like 7-8 seconds.
Then press Volume Down + Home + Power button, to boot into downlaod mode.
You have to press those three buttons not two buttons.

Good.
My galaxy s2 failed to turn on.
Yesterday I installed the rom-BAR7 CriskeloRomV22-S-Tog-BLN-CallRec-Overscroll-3LS-CamHack-PWR-M-Esxt-(XXKI3-2.3.5), and the kernel SiyahKernel v1.7.8
and it works good
He was charging all night, the morning did the Battery Calibration, and was working perfectly
By late afternoon, I'll take it, and it dont turn on, nor in download mode or recovery mode or normally.
If you connect the charger a bit, note that it heats up, but no links or picture or anything
If connected to the computer appears to be installed this drive, but without success as you can see the image HERE
What solutions are there, without being sent to the warranty?
thanks
Pull the battery, wait a minute, reinsert the batterry and see if you get in recovery or downloadmode.
You could try a USB Jig.

Just a thought
Maybe you had huge battery drain because of the rom or an application and it can not charged because of the temperature.Happened to me once with cm7(most probably my drain was from webroot security or setcpu)
.Remove the battery for longer time eg 15minutes and try to charge it
Ps if you have zero battery you can not enter recovery or download mode.I lived that and its really annoying

Yes as you have been informed already .
One try the USB recovery jig to turn download mode on that fails or you dont want to try a service centre for a non warranty repair .

Just another guess:
Charge the battery for some minutes.
After unplugging the phone, pull out the battery, external SD-card and SIM-card for some minutes.
Try to start that phone with battery only.
Good luck ...

if you know someone who has the same phone why not try using their battery?
or leave the phone to charge overnight and see what happens in the morning...

mostly people take his fone in their pocket and when sweat release from body body's tempreture again conveert it into vaupour and this vapour some how enter in to mobile in your pocket. so go to samsung care or any good mobile repair shop who know his job better and say your exact situation and also say which i mention here ok. may be they can help you to dry the battery coonect point ok. becos some time when you pull off your battery and press the power switch button for 1 minute and then put back battery on mobile but dont push power button only insert the battery, u will find that near camera some heat is rising up and after some time it would be good heat enough near your camera. if i m rite then plz reply me ok.u know i did every thing like bootloader update, jtag but no success. if u have external charger charge ur s2 bateery with it and then clear ur battery touch point in both means on fone and basttery too with blade or paper knife and then insert ur battery if u will lucky u will see that ur fone will start but when will u switch off ur fone again ur fone will refuse to start. i m damn sure about it. reply if it happens to u ok
I feel like an idiot..... installed the wrong ROM on my Galaxy S2-UK
I installed CheckROM V5 and found out it was actually for the Galaxy Note before it was too late, it installed fine from holding power button, home button and volume up, then going to install Zip from folder and rebooted. When it rebooted my Galaxy S2 logo came up and then the screens pixels all turn white one by one. I tried to do the power button,home button and volume button to go in and uninstall it and the same thing happens, white screen,
I can't even get odin to recognise the device is plugged into my laptop.
Have I ruined my Galaxy S2? is it fixable?

You can't go to download mode? (which is vol-down, home, and power; you didn't specify which volume button you tried)
You should probably invest a couple bucks into a USB jig to see if that can get you into download mode if not.
Yes I tried to go into download mode and it just goes all white bit by bit. Is a Jig my only option ?

Maybe...
So even if it goes all white, I wonder if you can still actually enter download mode. After the phone boots when doing vol-down + home + power, while it is going all white, try hitting vol-up and plugging the phone into your USB cable on your computer. If Odin goes yellow in the ID:COM block, you should be good to go to try flashing back to stock.
If that doesn't work, try a jig.
Cool, I will try that thanks, the battery is dead so I will try it later, another point to add, i just plugged it in to charge it there and the icon for the battery came on, the screen refreshed itself and all the pixels slowly started turning white and black on the screen.

Flashing the Note ROM may have replaced the video drivers. I'm just guessing though. Get a stock firmware from Intratech's official firmware thread and have a go at flashing it back.
Things have taken an interesting turn, went to a shop in town today who were convinced they could fix it for me for €20 and I have been informed that my battery is damaged as they couldn't even hook it up to a universal charger,I did find a bulge on the back of it. i'm sure this explains nothing but I'm going to get a new one tomorrow and try everything you have said, thanks for your help and i'll post here again.
Hi guys,
I also feel so stupid..I also installed CheckromV5 on my S2 and now S2 screen is complete white. I cannt go to download mode to flash other ROMS. Any idea how can i solve this. Please help...

Actually my battery is down. I can go to download mode but it says Low Batter cannot download.
As soon as I connect batter it starts showing white screen and then it switches off because of low battery.
How can I charge my battery and put phone into download mode.?

If you know someone with an SGS2 you can switch battery for some minutes to get into recovery. Be sure the battery is more than 50% ...

Battery gone after installing CheckRom for Note. I bought new battery , went into downlode mode and installed stock rom.
But Why CheckRom Note is not checking if the device is actually Note or not? is it so difficult to implement.
You're kidding right ? You actually expect devs to put "safeguards" in their roms/kernels in case idiots flash firmware for a completely different phone onto their own ?
That really does speak volumes

I agree. Flashing your phone is serious business. You wouldn't just download any old random operating system and install it on your computer without making sure it was intended to go on your computer first, would you? Why would you essentially do the same thing on your phone?
My daughter's was using her phone while charging and then it shut off.
Now when she goes to turn it on nothing happens, not even the i9100 screen.
When plugging it in, it will begin to load the battery charging screen but then keep rebooting.
Tried plugging it in for about half an hour, still nothing.
Is it dead?
Is it rebooting, or not even turning on.
Can you see screen logo?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
No screen logo at all.
When plugged in it just keeps reloading the charging screen.
does it go in download mode (press volume down+home+power button) if u see the download screen u can flash via odin,,,,or u can eter recovery mode(press volume up+home+power button) here release the power button wen u c the samsung i9100 logo....post wat u c...

Hmm, ask your daughter again what did she do. Seems like repair job
No download mode either.
She says she was on Facebook and it shut down.
Going to try another battery tomorrow I am clueless as to the issue.
Hard bricked is when there is no life at all, not even when plugged in to a power socket. So all is not lost yet. Get hold of a USB jig from ebay, " £0:99p-£3:99p ". This hopefully will get you into download mode. Flash a recovery using Odin. You can then wipe cache/delvik cache. Or flash a new firmware. Instructions here:-

If your a dab hand at DIY, try making your own USB jig:-

Curious do you have any case on your phone. I have known people who have played games on the phone whilst it was charging which makes that bit more heat and then due to a case its acted like an insulator. Could have overheated possibly causing damage.
Its like impossible to start the phone with charger plugged in..did you try to start it without it?

It seem like charger port liquid damaged, you can clean it with alcohol and toothbrush, if doesn't work then you need usb connector replace.

If u see any display wen u connect the charger that means ur phone is not dead (Not Bricked)
try changing ur battery
also get a usb jig and try
it can get ur phone to download mode ....
Sounds like a USB jig is the way to go. Have had the same issue myself, and this was the only thing that worked to fix the issue.
I have an s3 that has been rooted running a custom rom perfectly for about 5 months.
Today I was using my phone and it locked up - totally froze..screen was frozen and everything was unresponsive. So I pulled the battery.
When I put the battery back in my phone displayed the Samsung logo and after that just displays a black screen.
I can put the phone in download mode, however it will only be on the download screen for about 3 seconds before the phone either turns off or the screen goes black.
The really weird thing is, when I put the battery into my phone it will instantly boot up (I don't have to hold download the power button). The power button is NOT stuck in the down position.
I know the battery is charged. So what in the hell happened? I don't know if my phone is bricked or not. I could re-flash it but I can't do anything in download mode because of it turning off.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When it tries to enter recovery mode I get the black screen as well
take out the battery. insert it after atleast 5 minutes. i've read somewhere that S3 is sensitive to the order of the keys we hold to enter download or recovery modes. so to enter download mode, 1st hold HOME button, then VOLUME DOWN button and then the POWER button. (not sure i did this all the time but no problem for me till now). good luck

Simple story, I went to sleep and left my phone alone. I wake up and the flashing LED is blinking blue and assume it's a notification, the screen didn't turn on so I decided held down the power button which had no effect. I then pulled the battery out and put it back in y phone doesn't turn on anymore despite charging it for several hours. I assume it's completely dead and will have to swap it for a new one tomorrow.
does anyone have some advice, suggestions or solutions??

Looks like an SDS. If you can boot into download mode (hold volume down+home button+power button) and see that you have no product name on then it's an SDS for sure.
