[Q] Can't shutdown - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't turn my device off my Galaxy S2.
If I press turn of after clicking the power button, it will turn of, and reboot again. I decided to do the same by entering in cwm and asking it to turn of the phone. It also rebooted.
If I take the battery off, it reboots as soon as I put it on again.
I'm currently on KI8, with speedmod kernel. But happened the same with KI3 a few minutes ago...
Any guess?
Thank you so much.

damn it! I did a full wipe. And thought it had worked, because it was off, but just when I was posting that the problem was fixed, the phone turned on by it self automatically.
Any solution? I'm getting crazy!

any help on this?
EDIT: wipe chache and dalvik cache

Difficult to help with no specific information about the ROM, kernel, etc. running on your phone.
Since when do you have this issue?
What has happened just before this problem appeared the first time?
Just as theoretical suggestions:
1. Start into recovery mode, wipe cache partition.
2. Shut down the phone.
Pull out the battery.
Leave it out for about 5 minutes.
(Just to be sure that everything "cooled" down and CPU is fully out of any voltage and current.)
Then put the battery back into the phone.
3. If nothing helps, flash a stock ROM.
Then start into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
(So backup everything you do not want to lose before flashing.)
Good luck !
problem arose in the morning, after charging the phone. Reset did, flash another firmware. None of this helps.

[Q] Sgs3 stuck at boot screen

Hi all,
I would like to ask advice from you all regarding my sgs3 situation below
My sgs3 is a stock one, never root or whatsoever before.
This evening, there is an update from samsung application and i update my sgs3. I did not restart them as normally it will restart itself before once completed. After few hours, i found out my sgs 3 turn to boot screen black background with white font sgs3. I remove battery and put back, then start phone again, but it still shows boot screen.
Then later, i try removing battery again, then put back and connect to the charger at home, it shows the charging indication, but never turn to green that i do not what happened and my sgs3 still cannot boot. Then, i try to do restore factory setting by push simultaneously power, volume up and home button. But, the boot logo will appear, gone, and appear again and again.
I do not know what happened to my sgs3. Any idea?

Try wiping cache partition and dalvic cache
That's "funny"!
I have exactly the same problem, just as you describe.
Can't do anything. No indication that it charges what so ever.
Dead as a Dodo!!
At the moment I'm downloading the last official firmware and will try to flash that one.
If it doesn't work, I will have to leave the phone to a service center.
I will let you know how it worked out!
Don't loose the faith!!

No luck with re-flashing....
It did not work for me i'm afraid.
Sending it in for repairs on Monday!

Noted. Will send to service centre today
The same thing happened to me just now. I was running Task650's AOKP Build 1/1/2013 totally stock (stock AOKP kernel, no OC or UV), I had to Odin back to UCALG1, and even then, the phone would get stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash screen. I had to reboot to stock recovery, Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache for the phone to boot up.
Just wanted to put this here, maybe it will be of help to someone.

I hope that you are aware that you also suffer from SDS!? (Sudden Death Syndrome)

Just leave your phone to a certified Samsung service center and they will change the main board for you (for free).
Hopefully I will get mine back sometime next week!! :fingers-crossed:
All the best

[Q] Revolt ROM Display Stays On

I've been running the latest Revolt ROM for a few days on my I717. It has been running flawlessly but last night my display started staying on and the notification lights lit and won't turn off. Pushing the power button doesn't turn the screen off like it used to, but the power button does work to turn off or reboot the phone. I've checked all the settings that I know of and everything seems fine. Any ideas? Needless to say, my phone has to stay plugged in to a power source to stay on.
Rebooting doesn't clear the problem. Screen doesn't lock either.
Wipe caches in recovery
If problem persists, wipe data/factory reset.
Still there, redownload, rewipe and then flash the Rom again.

Wiping cache didn't fix the problem. If I have to re-flash the ROM, it won't be until tonight. Thanks for the help.
Also make sure you don't have stay awake in the quick setting tiles on I accidentally leave mine on sometimes.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Jamie already started a thread for his ROMs...
...no need for another ...

[Q] [HELP!] GT - I9100 bricked

Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!
so no recovery nor download mode?
Sadly, no

Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.

[Q] My Galaxy Mega won't startup

Hey mates. I've updated my phone to the Russian KitKat firmware today. First it opened perfectly fine. Then I wanted to switch off to do the wipe cache and wipe data thing. I've pressed the combination volume up + home + power and the screen lighten up but after approximately 5 seconds, the phone switched off. Then I pressed off and it stucked on the Samsung screen. I couldn't switch it off and pulled out the battery. Tried to go into Odin mode, but same thing happened. Then I recharged it to full, but still the same. I can't format the phone, nor open it. Can anybody help me? Thank you very much.
Phone switching off even in download mode?

You will have to re-install the rom as by wiping the data that is important to the running of the rom, you wipe the Cache and the Dalvik cache only, if you can get to the download mode (odin mode) then reflash the rom, try that same button combo with the phone powered off first and see if you can get into the download mode.
Update: I have applied the USB Jig solution. The phone got into Odin Mode, but it didn't show up on the screen. The screen was black (shiny black, I knew it was on), but Odin recognized the phone. Then I reflashed the ROM, the phone restarted but it stuck on the SAMSUNG screen, however Odin said PASS. So I have gone back to square one. I still can't use the three buttons to get into Odin or Recovery Modes. I only can use USB Jig but this happens. I can't wipe data or cache. And after this operation, now my phone charges, but it doesn't show up on the screen and the notification lights don't work like it used to. What should I do know? It's clearly a software problem, but I have no idea about what to do next.
