Hi
Today I rebooted my Samsung Galaxy S 2 and for some reason it is not working anymore.
No idea why this has happened
I tried everything Recovery Mode - Cant get into
Download Mode I cant get into
Tried removing the battery then putting it back in still nothing at all
On the back I can feel the phone is getting warm but nothing on the screen
It was working fine yesterday and I havent done anything to the phone yesterday
Please help if you know anything?
Thanks
Sounds like a hardware fail. I hate to say it but it sounds like returning it is the option.

Did you have any update fails recently? Update fails were the reason some Galaxy S phones would not turn on.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
No.
It has the latest software so there wasn't a need for update
It was working fine for the first hour this morning and then I rebooted my phone because it froze but now won't turn on at all.
Should of backed up my data!
The device gets warm but nothing on the screen tried everything that is available on this forum.
Do I have to pay for this if it's faulty I only had it about a month now I think?
When plugged in on the usb charger, if you toggle the volume rocker will the display turn on and show the battery level?

Any solution yet?
I ordered a JIG, however I don't know if it helps in case the bootloader is dead

Were you overclocking?If yes,how much?Maybe you fried something.
Also,if yes,I'm reading about the state of my phone a month from now!
Not sure what's going on there. did u do any recent 3rd party software downloads? I'd return n get a replacement

First I'll try a JIG - if it arrives on time... (desperately need the phone in 5 days)
fjosef871: have you tried a JIG to get into download mode?
Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.
Hey

I've just repeated exactly the same steps as the OP on my GT-9070P and have "successfully" bricked my two-week-old phone. If someone happens to find a solution, please share. :crying:

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.

So you find any solution? I have a similar problem right now.
I've looked around sufficiently and I have yet to find anything to fix my problem.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 MiniPro U20A and I was fiddling with the CWM menu I installed and after a few messages for one of the actions I get a message along the lines of this action will make the menu not work because of an earlier action, I was like oh crap. The damage was done so I decided to continue and just re-flash the original through SEUS.
Long story short I can't access flash mode.<- Yeh see that, that there is a period, I have tried method after method and It wont do it. I guess at times in its current state it runs out of battery and that might be why I get the red blinking light for a while before it continues to the Sony Ericsson logo and stays, it doesn't loop power like when I accidentally soft bricked it my first try at unlocking the boot loader, it just stays until I unplug it and it dies or I pull the battery. Sometimes after I pull the battery and press the power button it vibrates before the logo, but it never goes anywhere.
So that's all of the symptoms I can see, now I want you to tell me if you can help me or if this is just a useless cause so I can go on complaining about the lack of development for the Samsung Vitality a.k.a. Admire that my sister handed down to me when she got her new phone.
Maybe you need a new battery, like I did.

Battery works fine on a full charge but ever since I bricked it I haven't been charging it that much.
I was thinking there could be a way to boot from sd card, but a quick search didn't turn up any results. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Small update, sony pc companion recognizes that it is a sony device but it wont recognize it as an ericsson x10 mini pro it just says unknown device.
so, turns out to access flash mode your phone must have plenty of charge. Sorry for bugging and thanks to munlicar for trying to help.
Hi My galaxy s2 i9100 wasn't able to turn on, even when i charged it
This is what happened..
i was actually flashing a rom, after flashing i press
"reboot device" in the recovery and it has choices
Yes
No
No
No
Reboot Now.
etc..
im talking about CM RECOVERY or clockwork recovery i guess.
then i didnt choose any, i just pressed the back soft key and it turned off and the lights of soft keys stays ON but the screen is powered off
so i did pull off the batteries to fully turn off my device, after putting back.. BOOM it wont go turn on by that time...
can anyone help me? or i brick my phone??
help please.. anyone?

Have you tried charging the battery. You can try using a usb jig to boot into download mode and flash a rom through there.
yep, i tried charging but nothing happens, my phone is kinda getting a lil hot when im charging now..
what do u mean by usb jig? ive done the
hold together power+volume up/down and home button.. nothing happens, it just getting a lil hot..
later when i go out ill try another battery .. nways i dont believe that my batt would actually be dead just like this easy. but i dont hope that my phone got brick for just simply actions that ive done (

Happened to me before. May or may not work for you.
Take out the battery.
Wait 1 minute.
Now turn the phone on, and it will take some time(maybe 3 mins) but it WILL go into recovery mode. Do what you want in recovery and then done.

Dear All,
I have been using xda for long time as a user of the huge amount of knowledge in these pages...
Thanks to this community I got the most out of my samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII and LG G2.
Now I have an Xperia Z2 D6503. I've been using it for a month and I love it.
But this is my problem.
2 days ago I was using the phone normally, I checked google maps and I put the phone under charge.
An hour later, I went to check the phone, and the phone was unresponsive: black screen, impossible to turn off/restart, no sound, no apparent activity. The only sign of life is a red led when I press the power botton.
The phone is with the original stock (firmware 17.1.A.2.69), I rooted it with a guide I found here (of course) just to use an app like android firewall.
I tried to search the forum for something like this, but honestly all I could find was something similar for the Xperia Z and what was proposed there to restart the phone didn't work (power+volume up).
I also tried to restart the phone with the off button inside the slot where the sim card is. That didn't work either.
Please let me know how can I move forward. As anybody else experienced something like this?
Thanks for your support!
Try flashing official firmware with flashtool maybe? Maybe this will help, I don't know man.
and what about hard reboot, by maintaining power and volume up until the 3 vibrations?

I suggest you go back to stock using flashtool, use it for a while just stock and see if this happens again. If it does, there's something wrong with your phone, but i don't think that's the case.
Try and tell us.
diego9016 HugePotato thanks for your answer! is there any way I can save my data first before flashing?
sensei_sai how do I perform the hard reboot? if I press power and volume up the phone does 3 vibrations, then nothing. what next? how do I hard reboot?
thanks for your help!
I'm currently travelling but when back home in a week I'll definitely go back to stock. But in the meantime, I'm so anxious to save the data stored in the phone.
thanks again!

hi RocketSauce83 thanks!
yes. as I said in the first post, I did try the reset button. Unfortunately nothing happens....

When I put it on charge the red led blinks regularly as usual. Apart that, nothing else.

Have you tried to repair using Sony PC Companion?
That usually helps me if I get stuck

Thanks, I read that post. Interesting, but basically no solution except getting the phone replaced under warranty. I'd go for that, but I wish there was a way to save my data first. I've something in the phone only with no backup.

for my phone was also blinking with a red light when put for charging through the usb or even the charger and then i later found out is because i locked my bootloader when i was in root and had to reflash the stock rom to get it back up

Did your pc recognize your z2, because I can't seem to get it work on my pc to flash a stock Rom. I only get a blinking red light and when I press the power and volume up I get 3 vibrations that's about it.

when I connect the phone to the USB I see that the laptop tries to install the drivers and it fails.
But this is my work laptop and I cannot install sony drivers. I don't know if my desktop at home would recognize the phone. I'll try when I get back.
For the rest, the experience is as discribed by malek777, doing power and volume up I get 3 vibrations and that's it.
I fortgot to mention, I rooted the phone without unlocking the boatloader.

I figured out a way to use the companion app to go back to stock. When you get to the part in repair my device to connect your device, phone must be plugged in.
Hold the power button and volume up, once you hear the 3 vibrations let go of all and hold volume down. You will see a red light and then a green one. You're phone now in download even though there nothing on the screen.
Let me know if this works for you.
