I MOVED THIS TO A MORE SUITABLE AREA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19126103#post19126103
After rooting and getting my unlock pin, I uninstalled some pre installed apps.
When I try to turn on my phone - unplugged from any charger, it shows the battery empty symbol (sometimes it just does nothing) and wont let me turn it on. BUT! when I plug it into the charger it shows the true charge of the battery (100% at the moment) and I can turn it on.
Another thing I've noticed is that holding the buttons for download mode puts me in RAMDump Mode, and Recovery mode is now a different button combination.
I have to put it in download mode Via ADB commands.
So my problem is I cant turn my device on unless its plugged in - but once it's on, it no longer needs to be in the charger.
I have unrooted it and flashed the firmware via ODIN several times now which has not helped.
Please give ANY suggestions!

I selected the option for that on the phone, but it doesn't actually reset to factory state.
Which is why I've tried to flash it back using ODIN, but that still leaves the same issue behind.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Flash a new Rom? I think you have messed up with system files.

Thanks for the replies.
I have fixed it.
I drained the battery completely, and let it turn itself off. I then charged it up again and this seems to have fixed it.
I can now turn it on without it being plugged into the charger.

After it turned itself off... did you charged the phone turned off?
I have the same problem and I don't find the solution...

My phone was in the middle of a restore when it dead and now I can't turn it on. When I remove the battery and plug in the charger the light turns on for a few seconds then goes away. Now my phone won't turn on. Any suggestions?

Happened to me last night when our power went out
Just gotta use a external charger to charge the battery, I used an old thunderbolt
Hit thanks or ill hit you
But the problem is I was restoring a rom and now I think it won't load to it

No your underlying problem is the battery is dead, charge it up and boot into recovery and restore again
Hit thanks or ill hit you
Do you know if your battery was low when you were doing the restore? If so, search for "battery charge" or "battery charging" and you will get you several threads about phones not charging with different solutions in them.
Then if you get it charging and don't have a full ROM installed you might get stuck on the white HTC screen like I did when my phone stopped reading my external sd in the middle of a flash. If so, do a battery pull then boot into bootloader and start the restore over again in recovery.
EDIT: Clearly I need to type faster.... a whole conversation happened while I was posting this answer.
Okay guys and guyettes, I flashed the Siyah 3.0.1 kernel to my lovely S2 but my battery died overnight and now the darned thing won't boot. Due to an issue with the kernel, it automatically tries to boot when the phone is plugged in to charge, but not having enough power to boot up the thing dies and tries again. Continuously. It won't go to recovery mode and if I try to launch download mode it tells me it can't because of the low battery and then starts bootlooping again. Please please help, I've been without my phone for a day and I'm away from home with limited internet access so I REALLY NEED IT D:
pull out the battery keep sometime out, and put back and leave it for 1-2 hours for charging....then boot and restore your previouse kernel
I've tried leaving the battery out overnight, but whenever I put it in and try to charge it just does the same thing. Automatically tries to turn on, doesn't have enough power to power on, shuts down, and tries again :-/
You need a new charger battery or find some way of charging your battery outside of the phone.

Did you use SetCPU or Voltage Settings app to tweak with the frequencies/voltages? Theres a high chance that the Siyah you flashed doesn't support the frequency you have on your device. Id tell you to go into that app and restore defaults.
I was on NEAK before and flashed Siyah on top of it and it constantly kept rebooting and then i realized that if you get constant reboots, they mention to play with the voltage settings.
Try it out, maybe lower it from 1200Hz to 1000Hz being the max.
Let me know if it helps!
Happened to me once when I let battery run down too much. I left it charging in bootloop for a while, then unplugged charger, boot the phone, and replugged charger.
Well that was the issue of the kernel but it was solved later. For ur problem try to charge ur battery using master charger. Also try to go to recovery mode while charging and charge for a while and reboot ur phone.

I've left it "charging" in bootloop overnight but it still won't turn on enough to set it charging properly :-( it also won't enter recovery mode so I can't leave it charging at that. My housemate back home has an S2 so it looks like I'm stuck without a phone until I can get back and borrow his phone to charge my own :-/
Hmmm. This is a long shot, but try this: plug the phone in. Then, while it is booting and the phone is still plugged in, take the battery out. (this used to work with my old Motorola Milestone - it would stay on even when the battery was out)
If it stays on, put the battery back in and hope for the best. Otherwise, you'll need to either acquire an external battery charger, or wait til you can borrow your buddy's phone to charge your battery.
Plese change such headings.....
A request to the members to change such headings...which directly give a bad impression of a product wich is an outcome of very hardwork of some dedicated devs....this may be only your case with Siyah kernel which might be a result of your earlier config, whereas thousands of users are using the same flowlessly....
thank you
I have had this Atrix 4g for about a year now and it has worked fine. I did a factory reset on the phone because I was giving it to my girlfriend. After the reset the phone would start up in fastboot (without me turning it on). While it was on i installed all the apps set up her motoblur account but once i needed to reboot the phone it would be another factory reset. Everything would be erased and it would fastboot again. I tried to turn fastboot off but I wasn't able to. I rebooted it a couple of times trying to fix it. Even tried another factory reset but using the bootloader (holding the vol - + PWR) and resetting from there. I looked for many solutions online but to no avail. Now the phone won't even turn on. When i plug it in to a charger the LED turns on (green) but it is completely unresponsive. I was running the latest software that was available for the phone (gingerbread 2.3.4 i think). I left it on charge for a day, and it wont work either. Right now I have it plugged into my USB and the green LED is on but it is completely un responsive. Any help or advice to what is going on?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

I read in some forum that the problem is the sleep of death. Sometimes i have that problem and the only solution is to make a combo of pulling out the battery and connect/disconnect the charge, suddenly it boots.
Some people said that the problem is that the atrix doesn't read well the level of the battery, but it's still surely unknown

I have heard about that, and I have tried that MANY times, at least 50+. Would it be worth it to buy a new battery perhaps or is it a problem with the phone itself?

I can't say that maybe the battery is the problem because i don't k ow the conditions of it, but you can try to charge it with an external wall charger and see what happens.
In my case i was sure that my battery was full because i charged it before the combo.
Anoter thing i noticed while the process was that sometimes my phone doesnt boot if it has the back cover on, i had to remove sometimes to turn it on, maybe there is a piece of hardware failing in ny device
Hi all
My phone was shutting off instantly without any reason for couple of days and then I would turn it on. My battery was also acting weird. Sometimes when I turn it on it was showing 30% battery while before it was at 70%. Today, it turned off and wouldn't turn on. I tried Vol Up/Down+HOME+Power button and Home+Power button but it wouldn't turn on or go into recovery/download mode. When I put it on charge, charge symbol shows for a second and then it would turn off and then again on and off and continues forever.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Either your battery is not accepting charge or is not getting any charge.
If you know someone else with an S2, ask to borrow their battery to find out whether your phone will boot.
I've a suspicion that you're going to have to replace either the battery or the USB charger port.....or maybe even both.
But the first thing to find out is if the phone boots with a 'known good' battery.
my wife says I'm a phone geek....
I'd have to agree......

Thanks a lot buddy for your reply.
An hour ago I put the phone on charge for about 15 minutes and the battery charging symbol stabilized. Then I pressed Power button and phone booted and was working fine. Then just to check, I shut off and it won't start again and came back to the same old problem. I would definitely battery from same phone and will let you know about the updates.
Regards,
Its a very weird problem. I have put the battery of my brother's SGS2 in my phone and the problem is same. Then when I put my battery in my brother's mobile then that mobile shows the same problem. After switching batteries many time, my brother's SGS2 with its own battery would show the same problem. In other words that mobile was dead also. Then I plugged out the battery from the other mobile and left it out for some time and plugged in again and mobile was ok.
After that I didn't risk to switch batteries again. I have the feeling that problem is not at hardware end. For some reasons my mobile's software is corrupting batteries. I remember to have re-calibrated the battery couple of days ago with software named "battery recalibrate". I am lost at what the problem might be and what to do anymore.
Pls help.

Any idea/suggestion to boot the device.
Jig to force it to download mode
Just for the record. I discovered the solution to be ridiculously simple. Battery pins connection was loose and by just putting a foiled tissue paper at below corner of battery to strengthen connection of pins, all was back to normal. Ahh! it was such a relief.
Happy days glad you sorted it:thumbup:
Hi,
My I9305 S3 Wont Turn on via the power button.
I connect it via USB and it loads the following in this order:
*Connect USB
1. Need to charge logo
[split second]
2. Battery charging logo
[1 second]
3. Reset
[repeat 1 2 3]
*photo of the battery icons displayed*
s2.postimg.org/iz6xu6ry1/phone.png
You cant get to the Android Settings
I got a phone tech to try another battery.
That didnt work.
He then took it apart and it said it isnt the power button.
He is unsure why.
It was flashed back to stock after using SentinelROM and every now and again it would restart by itself, now it wont turn on.
Any ideas?

happened to me also. try change different cable or charger & try to connect to PC. and check if your micro usb port clean or not.
and if it work, let the battery charged for a while before turn it on.

I tried 3 different cables connected to PC, a different battery and it didnt work.
It wont turn on unless you have the charger in so im assuming its picking it up fine.
I made sure the micro USB port was clean.
I kept it on there for an hour once, boot looping, and yeah still didnt turn on.
Its got me stumped.

Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you, the i9305 has a separate q&a forum.
If it won't boot into download mode then try a usb jig, but sounds like you need a new motherboard -take it to a different phone tech.
