Hi. i have got my s2 since 10 months and no hassle. however since yesterday, the screen wont turn off and i could not make it turn on again using the home key. finally it completely switch off and i could not switch it on(neither soft or hard reset helped).
I just left in with the wall charger. nothing on the screen but once the battery was full, it vibrated and i could switched it on. it worked flawlessly for the day but now while i was using gtalk, same thing happened and i could not switched it on.
what could be the problem? i am an international user and bought the s2 from unlocked-mobile.com.
kindly note that i made no tweaking nor any custom firmware nor installed any new software. i only reecntly removed go launccher.
kindly help me please
if download mode works then u can flash ,or in recovery mode factory wipe.....yes forgot does it show charging batt icon ,wile charging?
Charge battery .
backup data factory reset phone ..
That fails try another battery .
That fails try Samsung service centre .
Or try download mode and flash new stock firmware via Odin .
jje
ok will try flashing ics. but why would this happen? what is the cause of such problem?
ok i did flash the ics and still the same problem. help me plz
Sounds suspiciously like the "Sleep of Death". Been discussed at length in dozens and dozens and dozens of threads here.
thanks. but why suddenly i am having this?
i have not installed any new kernel, firrmware or programs.
I dont understand why people with stock not rooted phones comes here and thinks this is samsung service, since it is purely stock..go to the retailer or call samsung.

Hi all,
so i just start and describe my problem. My Friend asked me to root his phone and flash RR 2.7. So far i did this with 5 phones be4 (s2 and s3)
He had ICS (4.04) with the buildnumber XXLQ6, so i took for rooting purposes this one CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5, because i couldn't find LQ6.
Ofc i did it with odin and everything went according to plan. After the restart phone was rooted and i had access to CWM.
I rebooted into Recovery Mode and Wiped everything icluding battery stats and dalvik. Then i selected the RR 2.7 zip and the Installation went smoothly. After that i wiped everything again before rebooting and also did the "fix permissions" thing in the adv settings.
Reboot and Phone stayed off no recovery or download mode.
I guess it is bricked and i wonder did i something wrong? Phone getting back to repair i hope warranty will cover it.
Thanks for Replies
Have you tried charging it? Perhaps the batter was too low and the flashing took all the juice. Happened to me once on a Droid3
no i dont think so I tried though. the phone had the original bigger battery and had 65% before flashing. no I am afraid ti flash ever again...
I quess you can try a USB jig to get into download mode, maybe the 3 button combo is out of order.
the device dead now and there is no way to relief it :crying:

so do you think warranty will cover it?
My friend bricked his, went to our local service center and told them that the phone died on him after installing an app from the play store, worked like charm

Hi
i have two batteries, one in the phone and one i keep on the charger. Before i pulled out the battery without turning the phone off to replace it. now the phone wont go pass the samsung boot screen. phone was working perfectly before. currently running sotmax v10. tried reflashing the rom but still nothing.
is there anything i can do?
Try some other ROM... still if it doesn't work, try flashing official firmware with ODIN... hope it works.

Full wipe and re-install from recovery?
Does it boot into Download Mode? If yes, try to Odin back to stock ROM?
i flashed a rom onto a m8s galaxy s2 after i rooted it the phone was stuck on bootscreen for around 30 min i turned it of and phone will not charge light up or anything ive tryed jig and nothing ive tryed button and nothing battery is fine ive tested it
i thought it would be easy as i have done it on s3 lots of times
is the galaxy s2 dead or can i revive it
Maybe jig is faulty? Have you tried booting into the download mode? It is the same as s3.
If not, try another jig or another battery. Also, try charging it. Does it get hot near the camera when it charges?
If the above fail, you have to JTag, unless you wiped from a 4.0.4 stock rom.

Well its customery (And common sense to be honest) to inform people of relevant information when asking for help.
What exactly did you do/steps you took?
Which rom did you flash?
Which kernel did you flash?
How did you root?
Did you wipe data/factory reset at any point?
Give as much info as possible so that it can possible diagnose what happened.
So this morning and last night my phone was working perfectly until it decided to reboot, but since then it endlessly reboots show the the "Galaxy SIII GTI9300" screen. It comes up, goes black, then it shows it again. Ive looked around for other fixes but i can't enter my recovery or download mode. When entering into recover, it works for about 1 second then the phone reboots so I am unable to do anything, I can enter download for a few seconds but pressing the volume up or down to continue doesn't do anything.
I am using foxhound 2.4 and Siyah 1.9.1
I don't have an overclock, I've tested another battery so I know that isn't the issue.
I haven't done anything to it so I can't think of a reason it would be doing this. How can I fix it?
looks like sds
Any fix for it? I can't access recovery or download mode and my PC doesn't pick up my phone, should I take it in for repairs? Will they repair it with the custom ROM and kernel?
send it in, looks like it's the only option
From what I've read about SDS, I am by no means an expert, you wouldn't even be able to interact with your phone. The fact that you see the boot logo means that it isn't SDS. I am not sure what I'd do though, as you cannot enter download mode and flash a stock ROM from there.
If you send it in to service, I guess they will find out about the flash counter and modified status and all, and you would have to pay. On the other hand, if that is what it needs it might be worth it.
Sorry I'm not more helpful...

have you read the post? he can't access recovery or download
Well it just seems to get worse, I no longer get the boot screen anymore, now nothing happens, my phone doesn't even come on, when i plug my phone into the charger it gets the same endless reboot loop but insteast of the "Galaxy SIII GTI9300" screen it shows he battery logo with a circle in it for a few seconds. If it try access recovery or download it just reboots again. Without the charger nothing at all happens now.
you got the answer
is your phone the 16gb blue version?
if so ... then its really certain. u have sds! and even so its good that phone is trully dead! cause if it trully dead there is no way they'll find out that your rooted and running custom rom

Mije is actuall the 32Gb Pebble, I'm also hoping that it's completely dead though because I honestly can't think of how they would even go about getting the phone to boot since the screen will only come on while on the charger so I doubt they can use anything external, I'm sending my phone in tomorrow

Do the red exclamation point appear at any time?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app
So I sent my phone in for repairs and somehow they managed to fix it and get it back to stock. Before I gave it in I never had a red exclamation. As soon as I rooted it when I got it back it now has the red exclamation. Today my phone entered a bootloop doing the exact same thing but eventually worked. Not sure if it was the ROM. I'm considering flashing back to stock just to be safe. Doesn't seem like I can get rid of that exclamation without doing so. They sorted it out for free. I'm just worried they will say my warranty has been void next time

Red exclamation point is the same as yellow triangle on s2 ... u need yo flash previous bootloader ... reset binary counter and then flash stock only then your warranty is back

sd card
i also have 32gb pebble blue with a 64 gb sandisk class 10 sd card. not using any roms everything stock but still have the same issue. i can get mine to load up if i pull the sd card out and reset.
does anyone know if there is some kind of issue related to using that type of sd card?
try homemade jtag or buy one if you don't want to send it to anywhere
