I think I'm the first to really bricked my two days old SGS2, haha..!
My phone had the Download Mode bug, so while trying to fix that according to a guide, I probably did something really stupid, and now I'm stuck with the black screen of death. Reading about JIG, I really feel that that is way beyond my knowledge.
There's really nothing else to do but to return the phone, right?

So, I opened the Samsung Micro USB contact, and it turns out that there's 4 and not 5 pins! Does anyone know which ones to use then? There's a red, green, white and black one.

You shouldn't have to mess up with pins.
A jig is a small micro-USB device that you plug into your phone while off, and it sets the phone into download mode.
Have you purchased one? Have you plugged it in? From the download mode, you can then flash an official or custom firmware.

Tried another USB which looked correct, and it worked!!! Amazing!!! You should see the smile on my face, haha!
So the next question, now being in the very sought-after "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!"-mode, what would I do next, should I find the original ROM somewhere and shoot it over via Odin?

So i need to "hard boot it" in the volum up-power - menu area...
Anyone knows what to do and how to fix it?
But when the cable is in and gives power to the unit its starts normal and turns off normal.... and that rly starts to piss me off
So pls help a noob
that is the battery temperature warning.
For some reason the contacts on the battery may not be making clean contact.
Take the battery out and with a tooth brush clean the contacts on the phone and the battery.
reinsert and see if that solves the problem.
nope it didnt help anything

ay. called the place i bought the phone and they gonna send me a thingy to send it back with.. and they sayd they would fix it or give me a new phone. So cant rly complain then
update: Phone got not repaired or replaced.. The clame it was water damaged.. The usb/charging port that is so i got my phone back. they didnt wanna touch it couse they told me it would die sooner or later.. they could change the mainboard but they didnt wanna do it.. So i need to fix it my self. so i ordred a new usb/charging thingy and gonna replace it when i get it.. Ill update if it works or not (sry my sucky english)
Bro dunno but have I tried using a new battery? The symbol is a temperature/battery warning. Did I get it wet??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
nope. has not got wet at all... Even tho the repair dudes says it "water" damaged.. .Anyhow.. i ordered a new battery too. so first gonna test that before i change the usb part.
Get the battery cover, hold each of the sides with you're fingers and bend so the middle of it is going in ward, bend fairly far, now try, fixed my battery problem which was similar to this, also it would alsol think it's charging when it's not and constantly vibrate, I had been bending the back before and just realised when the phone was screen down it was fine so realised was loose, hope you fix it

well, you are the first person who actually fixed the problem. No one in all the forums I've been reading was able to identify or fix it.
Could you please tell how you replace it? are there any instructions or ¨comprehensive guide¨to do it?' I'm having the same problem too.
Thank you
No one like my fix? Worked for me? Also adding a bit of tape to the back of the battery worked
well. wasnt hard tbh. Just take apart so u get inside the phone. take of all "screws?" so mainboard is loose. then take out the usb board and replace it.. .should be doable without taking out the entire mainboard. i just "tipped" it upwards so i got the cable thingy out... sry about my sucky english.. U need proper tools to do it. cheap tho but the "screws" is so damn small. And yes.. my phone still works perfect.
hmm thing i posten a guide to it somewhere.. give me a sec..

This never happened on my phone before ICS. Any fix for it? This message came up as I was charging in-car. Someone told me he gets the same on VK rom.

Hi, i just posted a post in a different thread about this problem
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520528
Try cleaning the USB port on the phone with a tiny brush or something, make sure there is no dirt, and also make sure the pin is aligned correctly in the USB port, mine went like this and I fixed it by tweaking with the USB port. But also have a look at the thread.
Chris.
solution idk if its temporary or no..
I dont know if its temporary or what are the other effects...
I figured out
On a dialpad type
##data#
Click edit
Enter your msl code
Click usb charging and disable it....
Thats it !!!!

Started happening to me too!
Get a flashing battery icon continuously too.
In no connect USB cable, it show the battery icon like cable already connected! (lightning pic in the battery)
When I search in Google, I got forum.xda-developers.com
I understand the idea of problem, of my Hardware fault finding experience
I clean the USB port in (The Samsung galaxy 2) PDA phone
gently and I am connecting to charge or computer cable,
Straight,slow, careful, every time
Last 7 days no error popup coming !!!!
Thanks to all

What is the manufacturer Answer

This has been happening quite a lot to many of the S2s all around the world from the looks of it. I think Samsung is using some cheap faulty material in their USB ports which is causing them to corrode/fail easily. I've changed mine completely once and had to pay for it since they conveniently categorized it under 'water contact with the phone' which they couldn't cover under warranty and I paid for a complete replacement. 5 months later and its happened again. Absolutely unacceptable. Please write in to Samsung and complain about this.
i bought my s3 last week (2nd hand phone) but it still look like new, everything runs just fine. yesterday while i was playing game (MD3), the phone freezed and after that the screen turn half green (like in the pic). I take out battery, turn on, but the same thing happens again and again, and it wont boot any more. I tried to turn on downloading mode and flash again stock rom by ordin but no success! it seems to be the hardware fault! has anybody faced this problem and suggest what can i do now? replacing new screen will be very costly too bad for a monster

OMG MD3 burned the GPU??
or the GPU Heat burn other parts?
am no expert but this Really looks serious problem
There was an Heat issue?
Wait for the experts to reply..
Scary..................
woah! this is bad. you should talk to the one you bought (original owner) ask for the receipt and maybe it can be replaced(or at-least can be repaired) .
too bad, its no gurantee deal! the fone isnt too much hot when i play the game. the screen replace will cost around 300 buck

i doubt its the game that cause this , it could be faulty to begin with
now im doubting that some problem related to chip or gpu as if the screen fails then why the fone couldnt boot into OS? it now freeze in samsung logo, i try flash stock rom using ordin but it also fails to boot.

are you even sure that the screen was the problem? maybe its the gpu or watever not the screen.
better to take it to an expert to know.

Even most probably the GPU or a connector. Since he was playing I'd say the GPU is toast.

Why not? Even if it was rooted, they'll swap the logic board since it's nearly impossible to check anything on a hardware-broken device.
thanks all. i also think that its not the screen issue as the phone cannot boot into OS. will have to send to SS services to check.
I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!
re: Will keep you guys updated!

See if sprint will fix it. They can't tell if its rooted anyway until they fix it. I doubt they would make a fuss. If that does not work I can supply a screen for $60 shipped.
