Hello.
I have "little" problem on my sgs2.
I bought it used and it had vibration broken (flexcable broken).
I fix it with new part and used it one day for testing it.
It was working flawless.
Yesterday i flashed it on stock 2.3.5 Nee and rooted it with speedmod.
It was working ok and no glitches or anything unusual behavior.
I installed about 50 programs in a row for market and put the settings and launchers in working.
it took about 1,5 hours and it was pretty warm but not burning hot.
Then i went to sleep and put it on charger.
On this morning i woke to my backup alarm and noticed that the phone had died on night.
I beginning to believe it´s maybe dead completely, maybe hardware failure.
I have tried everything else, but not jig (haven´t got it yet).
It doesn´t go to cwm or download mod, no lights, nothing just black screen.
It doesn´t charge or even get warm when trying to charge.
I have tried it on two different battery (other battery is brand new genuine).
Doesn´t look or smell burned (motherboard).
Any suggestions?
doesnt sound like its bricked.
try these steps:
1) open ODIN
2) reflash speedmod kernel using the ODIN's .tar file
3) go into CWM recovery
4) wipe data / cache / davlik
5) flash a new ROM or official Firmware
6) flash a new modem file
7) reboot the phone
8) start restoring all your apps and settings etc
here are some links to get u started (the setup i use)

ahh ok
well if ur 100% sure u cant get into download mode, your kinda screwed. thats the last line of defense against bricking. if thats gone, you might as well throw it or maybe see if a dev can salvage it - but i doubt it

Try charging it via USB or with a different charger and cable. Other than this and using another battery, I think its f**ked if unable to boot into DL mode without jig.

You said you haven't got a jig yet. I'd suggest you get a jig. I got one for a couple bucks on eBay. Worth it to see if it will trigger download mode.

Jig is coming sometime in next week.
I doubt it´l help because it went black on charging.
Memory shouldn´t corrupt just like that.
I also read couple post on overheated sgs2.
Anyway the jig is worth of try.
Does someone know is it possible to buy just a motherboard and what does those cost?
Maybe i have to sell it on parts.
If it does not even turn on. Then it's a hardware failure. No jig is going to fix that.

Hello all,
I was already in the possesion of a SGII that has been rooted and flashed before. I came from Hyperdroid Androidmeda with Android version 2.3.6. This morning i took the guess it was a nice day to flash a rom with ICS Android 4.0.x. My choice was the rom Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2.
I followed the exact instructions to Wipe Data, Dalvic Cache and Wipe Cache partitions before i flashed the rom. This went well, at this moment i didn't get any errors or bugs i.e. At the moment my SGII was booted i discoverd the rom a bit. And i came to the conclusion my camera was not working,eve as my outgoing calls. When i called somebody it rang barely one tone before my phone shutted itself down and rebooted. When i get an incoming call i couldn't see the Green answering button neither i saw the red denial button. So i this was just a guess.
But the main problem: I rebooted my phone manually and then he just shut down. I couldn't get him on anymore. On no circumstance it is possible for me to get my phone on. Battery in and out has no effect. Even connecting my phone with an usb cable with the PC gave no reaction. When i connected it to the charger i saw a blink of the loading battery but after a couple seconds my phone went off. And i dont get him on anymore.
What is wrong, what can i do to solve this?
Enter Download mode and check if Odin sees the phone.
Dude..odin pc is your last hope..never mind..it should work...try flashing a rom from there...

It's clear you don't know how to use download mode. How did you flash your first ROM or root in the first place???
While in this mode, it is expecting you to connect the phone to a computer and use a flashing tool (Odin/Heimdall/etc) to install software to the device.
You can reboot just by holding the power button down for about 10 seconds.

The first rom i flashed was with CWM. It was quite easy and i rooted it more than half a year ago that was not that hard to. This is the third rom i flashed and now it all gets wrong.
I already had my connection between phone and computer but it doesn't respond any further.
At this moment i dont even get him in download/recovery mode anymore. Everytime i try it shows a second of a empty charging battery and it shuts down.

At that point i ain't arrived yet, unfortunately.
Here a guide (with picture) to flash stock firmware with odin, but the process is similar for custom rom.
Hope this help
Now i finally got in download mode again.
I tried to flash the Siyah kernel 3.3.2 via Odin.
In the attachment you see the result which went really well i thought?
But now i rebooted my phone and i only come to the begn screen with Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100 and the usual Yellow triangle. At that point it shut down again.

Read this as well to better understand Odin and flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
When you are in download mode, nothing happens until you connect it to your computer and flash a ROM via Odin (which you will be doing). Next time, read more.

Thanks all for helping me, my phone works again by flashing it back to stock rom.
I dont have any root privileges and the yellow triangle is gone now. I already miss things as changing battery icon and ability to use camera when batterylevel is below 15%.
But for now on i will take a little easy with flashing.
Mate, here is a hint for you. You should really thank people who help you and not just say “thanks." It helps the people who contribute feel like their input was actually appreciated in your problem solving. And not just for one person, but everyone who helps. Just a hint.

hey guys
I have been using Siyah Kernel on my SGS2 for a wile now so I decided to put it on my brothers 1 day old SGS3 and when I try to flash it in CWR I got an errror saying zip could not be flashed and when I rebooted the phone all I got was a Black screen. I've tried everything but the phone wont boot and I cant get in to download mode or CWR.
Any one have any ideas before I go back to the store and play dumb ?
Use Odin and reflash your kernel of choice.

If you can't go into download mode you won't be able to repair anything...
If you have an USB jig, it should work on S3 to go to download mode

Kinda sucks
My brother came home with the phone yesterday. I put CWR on it then rooted it and all was fine. I figure I could throw the siyah kernel on it and install a second rom for him to try out.... I have been doing this stuff on my SGS1 and SGS2 for years and never had this problem. But I guess that's it. I ordered a jig on ebay just in case they wont take the phone back at the store. I guess a mod can close this thread if there is nothing else to try.
Thanks for everyone's time....
Strange, the kernel and download mode are at completly different places.
Breaking the kernel, fine. But breaking downlad mode access?
It worked for others already, so please try:
- power off the phone
- remove usb-cable if attached
- pull battery for 30seconds
-press and hold vol-down and Home button. (the latter in the centre)
- press power until the logo appears
Does it still not go to download mode?
USB jigs are pretty easy to build yourself if you have ever used a soldering iron. So if you're like me, you won't wait for the ebay-seller to deliver =)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I Have tried everything possible with the 3 button combo and cant get in to download mode. Pull battery for up to 5 minutes, USB in, USB out, everything I can think of. I cant even get to the LOGO. The red light might come on for a few seconds but nothing at all on the screen.
And all I did was:
Flash the CWR in download mode with odin, reboot(everything worked fine)
Flash su-root zip in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Made a Backup in CWR, rebooted(everything worked fine)
Flash SiyahKernel S3 zip in CWR, then got an error saying zip was not installed, rebooted and could not get boot logo, download or CWR
ask karnel maker just see weather he can help u out. as might be he knwing case of this ..

I have a dock charger for extra batteries and it shows full charge on the dock.
This same thing just happened to me.
I dont have internet at my house i only always use my phone. I read about the siyah kernal and decided to flash it this morning hoping that i could get hotspot to work. I did it through CW and now the screen just stays black. I got the same warning msg with a andy on his back and a red triangle. It was fine before and working normally. I had a stock firmware and the only thing that i changed about the phone was rooting it through odin. Now i'm screwed because i never had this issued with any phone and i'm tempted to take it back to best buy and blame them. I had soft bricked it about 4 days ago but i was able to fix it in a few mins after searching xda. When the phone is plugged in to the computer it does make a connection sound but the device name is not my phone. Someone point me in the right direction

Pull the battery for 30 seconds, plug it back in. Then plug in to USB jig and within 5 seconds your phone has automatically turned on an gone to Download mode.
NOTE: Some suppliers sell ****ty Jigs with a too high tolerance value of the resistance. These DO NOT work on the S3 even if they worked on the S1/S2.
I had one on the way 2 minutes after Couldn't get in download mode.

@goul0080: Please if possible measure the resistance between pin3 and pin5 of the Jig. It should be 301kOhm +- 1% tolerance. Anything between 1 and 5% may n or may not work.
If the phone still doesn't work you should check for a repair shop around you. They can use JTAG (direct access to the flash storage and other system compontents) to flash the ROM and you should be good to go again. Usually costs around 20$ afaik.

looks like mine didn't read it fully but yeah. Basically pull battery to make sure phone is off. Give it a few secs then stick battery back in. Then stick in the jig. Phone autoboots into download mode.

I don't have anything to measure the Ohm, sorry. Also the closest Phone repair shop is about 9 hours drive, no joke. I am on a island in Canada and I have to drive about an our just to get to a small crappy walmart haha.
Just got the phone today. I rooted it, applied CM mod, went back to stock, then tried to install the Energy HD2 mod to check that out. Installation failed and now it will not even start / turn on. I tried putting it into upload mode, download mode, straight up hit power and turn on - and nothing works.
Any recommendations?

First of all, why the f... are u flashing so many roms at [email protected]#$$%€£…
Now the air is clean. Can u get into download mode? If yes,then go to samfirmware.com and register then download LFB rom to your PC and flash it with Odin, then root it with cf-root.
now DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING ELSE FOR 24 HOURS. let the phone settle.and instead read the OP and check screenshots of the different roms and find one. Also check out the "apps & theme" forum and look for suitable theme instead of flashing a full rom.
Ps. If u can't get into "download mode" then order a USB JIG(301 ohms exactly) from ebay.
Good luck.....but stop your flashing mania or your phone is a goner.
EDIT: Pull out your battery for 20 min,put it back then use 3 button combo to get to download mode..
Btw cm7-9-10 is for experienced users not for noobs.

1. I'm not a newb.I've been running CM nightlies for over a year.
2. The feature sets for the roms are different and I don't see why I can't try them. Energy seemed more mature for the S3 and I think I would prefer a stock-based rom that just cut out the bloat.
3. Tried the battery pull thing. Odin did not recognize a device being connected. It was like there was no battery in it at all. The USB JIG idea sounds interesting. NExt time I have an issue, I'll look into that.
4. Thanks for your help but the new phone is here today and the brick goes back.

I have a I9100t, flashed to Ressurection Rom, rooted
It has been stable and smooth for months, one day when I was texting it reboots and stuck at siyah logo screen. I forced turn off and can't be turn on anymore.
Tried usb jib, riff box, 3rd party fix, no luck.
So I am going to get a new phone, just wanna see who is interested to fix this brick, it's in Sydney and the one who is able to fix it I'll pay him/her $100 aud by paypal or cash (if in sydney).
Thank xda genius!

listen and follow carefully (i hope this helps)
1. Remove the battery from your phone
2. With the battery removed , press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON.
3. keep holding above mentioned buttons , and have someone else insert the batter for you.
if you see download mode
4. connect to PC and start odin, if detected. FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE.

If your phone is hardbricked, there is not much you can do if you are not able to turn it on at all - not even download mode.
if:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
Then your phone might be soft bricked.
If you can:
-Put your phone into Download Mode

Wouldn't matter if you offered $1,000,000. Only thing that's fixing it is a motherboard/emmc replacement. Absolutely zero chance of fixing it any other way.

If your phone is hardbricked, there is not much you can do if you are not able to turn it on at all - not even download mode.
if:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
Then your phone might be soft bricked.
If you can:
-Put your phone into Download Mode

This.
If a JIG doesn't get your phone to DL mode, all is left is a JTAG.
Perhaps somehow the eMMC got affected by the MMC_CAP_ERASE command even though it's disabled in Siyah...
1.Youve tried everything...and nothing.
2.Mistahbungle has hit the nail on the head-read and digest.
3.Why throw more good money after bad.
4.Cut your losses and stick it on eBay(eg theres a bird on there wanting £250 for a phone maybe same problem as yours lol).

Probably I would try the mobile tech.. In sydney I tried two shops, one called MPR, another is Xtreme communication.
Time to announce the winner: one of my friend is working in Vodafone dealer shop sent it to Samsung Warranty and post as outright phone from his shop with extension warranty (dunno how he did it anyway).
The phone came back clean, replace external case (which has no problem) and main board.
$100 to him =]
I picked up a used i777 that was posted not to power on.replaced battery.it powered on.the phone is pretty beat up but it worked.problem was it had lock screen.so I wiped and reset.now it boots then immediately shuts down.does this in recovery also.can't get into download mode to reflash.
Phone appears to have kk6 is.couldn't unlock to check.any ideas on how to proceed or to look would be appreciated.
This still sounds to me like a battery issue (either bad battery, incorrect battery type, or insufficiently charged), if it is constantly rebooting even in download or recovery mode.
You have posted a question about AOCP's dialer. Have you gotten past this rebooting issue?

Dailer for my every day phone.
Boot problem is on a phone I bought to repair.
The battery came out of a working i777 that had cm7/cm10/aocp kitkat.It worked fine on all ROMs flashed.And it was fully charged.
The phone boots fully into os or recovery.Then shuts down.Not boot
looping startup screen.

Could this problem be brick bug?phone had lock screen before I wiped/reset.not sure what ROM.it was stock from what I could see.
won't boot into download mode.will boot into os and recovery but shuts down then goes into bootloop.
any way around this problem?may change out motherboard.
any comments or threads to check would be a help.thnx

If you haven't seen it, here is the list of ways to get into download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
It's strange that you can boot into recovery and not into download, so try all of these to see if you can get download mode some way.
I suppose it is possible that there is eMMC memory damage, but it would have to be only a very small segment of the memory for your symptoms. I'd be inclined to think the problem is not damaged memory, but I don't remember seeing those exact symptoms.

Thnx for reply.I've tried all of the button methods.the jig I have has worked on several captivates and 4 other i777.but no luck with this phone.I tried it on my Dailey phone and it goes to download.so jig is good.I haven't done adb yet.will try that next.if that doesn't work,I have a parts phone that still has a motherboard.just hate not to be able to figure out problem.thnx again
Good news.as I stated in original post,this is a used phone I bought to repair.it had a cracked screen and was a little beat up.so I replaced screen and changed charge port.the bootloop continues but it will now go into download.at least now I can reflash and finish rehab.not sure which part allowed me to get to download mode,I would assume it was charge port.just goes to show that it isn't always 1 big issue.could be several smaller ones.thnx again
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app
OK.I've changed screen,charge port.got it into DL mode.flashed "back to stock w/root.
ITS STILL BOOTLOOPING.goes fully into os or recovery for about 10 to 12 seconds then shuts down and then loops.what am I missing?

A bad power button can cause continuous or spontaneous rebooting while using the stock firmware. I don't know of a method to check that, without simply replacing the switch.
Is that switch replaceable or is it more feasible to replace motherboard?I can't tell if its soldered or plug in.
Can u direct me to a thread or website to find out more.thnx

It is not replaceable without purchasing expensive specialized hot air soldering equipment. I use a professional Hakko soldering station and I would not attempt it. The button, which is relatively small, must be de-soldered and replaced. It is so small that it does not even have leads, just soldering pads. You can watch a Youtube video of a technician replacing the power button on a T-Mobile S2.
A failed power button will not function at all. The most normal symptom is that the phone will spontaneously boot up when the battery is inserted. But as Cyril says, a failing power button can cause other symptoms.
Thnx to both of u for replies.
OK,where I'm at now.I used odin3 kk6 w/root.it worked!no more loop.I had used odin3 uch7 w/root.I've used that countless times with no trouble.don't know what happened this time.
I Odin dd kernel for recovery.flashed cm 7.2,then cm 10.1(upgrade recovery).i now have AOCP 7.2 kk.everything seems stable.I also did the superuser update before kk flash.
The only glitch there is that the dreaded yellow triangle(1900 ROM) is now there.it showed up after first flash with uch7(odin3).didn't go away after kk6(odin3).thought it would go away going back to stock?
oh well,that's for another day.thnx agin:thumbup:

I'm having trouble getting rid of the yellow triangle.jig doesn't work.have flashed back to uchk7/root and kk6.neither one resets counter.maybe wrong bootloader?if I reflash i777 uchk7 secondary boot loader,will that allow jig to work?if so, is there a thread I can read up on?I read return to store/stock thread.need more info on flashing bootloaders.I know that's not the safest thing to do.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Free mobile app
To get rid of the triangle, you'll need to return to stock, then use the correct root/kernel method to avoid tripping the custom-binary monitor.
I suggest the latest stock distribution ( i777UCMD8 ) which can be found in the download repository (see creepyncrawly's sig).
Summary of the process:
Create a nandroid of your desired setup
Install stock android Firmware (via desktop Odin)
Install and use Framaroot (for root access)
Install mobile odin (and the i777 flash kernel)
Install custom kernel (via mobile Odin)
Restore nandroid (via custom kernel)
This process has been further detailed in another thread...

Flashing the stock kernel (any version, Gingerbread to Jelly Bean,) will remove the yellow triangle boot screen. But flashing the stock kernel will not reset the flash counter. Using the jig will also not reset the flash counter. To reset the flash counter, you must use the Triangle Away application by Chainfire. I think that it only works when you have Ice Cream Sandwich installed on the phone, and you may need to use an earlier version. But does it really matter? It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me, since the phone is long out of warranty.
I will be selling phone after I'm finished repairing.That is why ID like to get triangle gone.
I flashed older version of bootloader and that seemed to work.It allowed jig to work.
