Hey guys,
I have flashed last leaked XXLPB, my phone worked for two days like a charm, today I've rooted it with CF root but after that the power button won't work properly anymore, when I press to lock the screen, It doesn't lock the screen and put the phone to sleep nor it wake it up. It just turn off/on the screen. Also holding it down doesn't even give me an option menu (Power off, Airplane mode....), it shuts down immediatly.
Well I tried to wipe data/factory reset and flashed XXLPB again via odin... but still having the same problem
I really appreciate any help out here....
Flash stock firmware & see if you still have the problem. If so, clearly a hardware issue/return to Samsung/your telco for repair/replacement.
If you don't have the problem with stock, then it's clearly a prob with the rom.

I told you I have stock XXLPB on it, this problem happenned suddenly, I think after rooting... but I flashed stock again... I don't thing it's a hardware issue because it occurred in minutes when I had the phone in my hand....
It's a leak. It's an alpha. I mean proper/stable stock. Gingerbread stock. Officially released/supported by Samsung stock. Clear ? Good.
OK, so given what you've said in this post, you think it's a soft/firmware issue. Go back to stock & prove it. Or disprove it which would point to a hardware problem, despite your seemingly great surprise that somehow a rather fickle piece of electronics had a failure of one of it's mechanical/non electronic bits. (Hint: these things do fail. More often than not without warning).

I got my Galaxy S II about 3 days ago and love it. Apart from some annoyances (I'm looking at you Touchwiz) no problems... installed Launcherpro and here we go
Today I woke up and bam. Flight mode.
Factory reset
Wipe USB storage and SD card
Wipe cache from recovery (stock recovery)
No change.
So now I have a very fancy Samsung Galaxy II Player. I called tech support and they asked me to try another sim (which I had done) then told me to clear the cache (which I had done) blah blah... then they ended up telling me to send it back to Amazon as faulty.
Great, just great.
Anyone else had this problem?
Nope, haven't had this.

I'm wondering... if I flashed an update.zip from stock recovery if the issue might go away... it's clearly software.
Just need to find an update.zip file....
Also something quirky is happening with regards to lock screens. Had unlock pattern enabled and then switched off however it still remains on but only needs a press on the screen to unlock.
Personally wouldn't try flashing if it's being funky. Last thing you want is to get stuck with non standard firmware if you still need to return it.

I have the same problem with the phone that I bought today (a problem I noticed after 15 minutes of purchase). Tomorrow I bring it to a Samsung service center to confirm it as DOA so I can do the replacement for the operator ... I am disappointed that I was wasting my time on these things ...
p.s after I try code *2767*3855# a have no problems for last hour...
today i have problems again and I replace my galaxy...I hav new one without any problems...
I have a somewhat similar problem.
My Galaxy S II randomly goes into flight mode every now and then. It's not a permanent thing like what you guys experience, but it is an annoyance.
Couple that with the "wifi sharing" bug and I think we can say that Samsung has some faulty radio firmware in the Galaxy S II.

SGS2 running India distribution 2.3.3, unlocked. Not rooted. Stuck in flight mode, becacuse IMEI # cannot be read. Help !
could it be efs partition corruption?
It probably is /efs corruption. How do I recover it ?
Posting on behalf of my brother..
He to has this problem. Nothing we do fix's this resetting to factory defaults changing sim card formatting memory card..
Since it's done this.. it uses the battery from a full charge to near empty within ~5 hours
Bought 29th Aug 2011
They wont honor the warranty even though it broke down at only 2 months old.

Have you gone through Samsung directly? (Register on their website and request a repair).
I had this problem just now. Couldn't get it out of flight mode. Saying no sim etc...
The way I fixed it was to remove the sim and battery, replace them, turn the phone back on, the hold the power button to bring up the power options and press turn off flight mode. It now works again.
Not good that after I googled this problem it seems to be quite common.

I have this issue too, bloody annoying. I did a kernal update and I hope that fixes it. But will give your method ago.

I had an interesting problem. My phone sometime stuck on flight mode. I had to restart device 4-5 times to disable flight mode(flight mode menu becomes transparent or untouchable). After a while button becomes enable and phone starts normally. But it's annoying problem.
Now I'm using Lite'ning Rom v1.1 XXLPH. Even in stock LPH,LPB, KK5 2.3.6.... every firmware I had same problems occasionally.
What's the problem? There is nothing wrong with IMEI (but I can't see IMEI in flight mode).
go in it recovery and clear data and then go to fix permissions

So is there a simple solution for this anoying problem, or it cames back every time ?
With Android 4.0 or 4.1 is the same?
I need to know as I am thinking of buying one that as this problem, at a good price.
Should i buy it?
thanks
Have you tried to reflash with kies?
I believe there is a recover option there? Atleast that wont get your waranty voided.
Never actually tried it since i only use heimdall & odin but might be worth a try!

kalpa108: galaxy gt i9003 stuck in flight mode, not reading SIM...and not recognised by recent version of KIES. Factory Reset does not fix this, device is not rooted, yet, but there's always a 1st time! Can this be done w/o any connection? Trying to download old KIES versions too.
Any layman ideas?
Yep. You're in the wrong forum, this in for I9100/variants.
I punched in this code: *#*#2663#*#* to update the firmware for my touch-screen and touch-key.
When I hit "Touch Key FW update" it updated really fast and everything was great!
When I hit "TSO FW update" is said "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" And it STAYED THERE FROZEN...
It said "Do not turn off!" So I left it until the battery died!
Then I plugged it in to charge it, and now the back button and menu button BOTH don't work at all! I tried two more times to "TSP FW Update" but it's totally permenantly frozen!
I tried flashing the stock firmware!
I can't get to the menu to do "factory reset!"
What do I do??
Have you tried using a USB jig and reloading firmware using Odin?

I have completely reloaded the firmware twice since then from a stock rom. I used Odin for it. My operating system works fine, generally, but the menu and back keys will not work.
But, are you saying that I can use Odin to specifically reload the TSP firmware? Because I haven't done that. If that's what you're saying, do you know where I can get TSP firmware?

Never heard of that and you dont need a uSB jig anyway as you are loading firmware ok .
I would download correct stock firmware .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero if rooted or custom roms used ..
Return to service centre .

Hi,
So this issue has been fixed??
Hi all. Well... It happened to me too. I followed an advice to remove 4.3 lag by updating this, and lost all touch.
The screen won't even turn on now, but I know the phone is powered up because when I plug in a usb cable I get the windows popup.
Wow this sucks so much and I'd like to ask for any advice if there's a fix for this. I'll try to check if I can enter recovery and reflash the rom, but I think all my buttons are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Update: after maybe an hour it came back to life. I had good battery so I guess it was downloading/updating stuff, during which I had no control of the phone.
As far as the experience enjoyment, I give it a 2/10, would not do again.
So it was in that "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" mode for a hour and after that all was normal again? Is the wakeup problem solved with that?

Hi there pattmayne and particularly anyone still getting mileage from their GT-I9000M,
I had this issue with Galaxy S Vibrant (North America) - GT-I9000M (the M is significant). I thought I would explore the *#2663# option and hey, why not update everything while I am there. I lost the use of my Menu and Back soft buttons and no amount of flashing or factory resetting seemed to help.
I found a promising solution on an obscure board (to me : forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2181386) as follows :
- Run the TSP FW update,
- Although it may appear to be stuck, wait a good number of minutes to be sure it has done what it needs to do,
- Interrupt the « update » specifically by removing the battery,
- [wait a few seconds for memory to discharge],
- Insert the battery, start up again, and run the other update, TS FW,
- Voila !
In order to access the special code, I had to flash back to stock and for some reason, I decided to flash back to Froyo instead of Gingerbread. The result being that from 2.2-Froyo, the TSP FW update actually worked, so I did not have to bother with pulling the battery. I am very happy to have my phone back in one piece !
I much prefer Heimdall over Odin, however I did have to do some research to find a decent Heimdall tutorial.
You should be able to find the stock files for Froyo by searching for GT_I9000M_UGJK3_UGJK3_BMCJK3.
If you can't, ping me and I will get around to providing a full write-up on how to mod your GT-I9000M (with many thanks to those that have gone before me).
Hi, i have more or less the same problem with my Galaxy S4 GT I9505. After updating to lollipop (5.0.1) the back and menu buttons were not working anymore so i started searching for some solutions, and i saw the updating touchscreen firmware option and now the fit touch is not working anymore as the buttons. I read that making that i could have fried the LCD Touchscreen. I dont hope so, the LCD is new, I've re-flashed to 5.0.1 as a reinstall. And theres no solution. I need help, i cant afford another 65€ in other LCD

There is a 26 page long thread over on the S4 forum about exactly this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3250132
It is doubtful that anybody on the S2 forum will be able to help you as anything that works for the S2 probably won't work on the S4......
Sorry fella, your best bet is to post in the thread I linked you to.....
Good luck.

So today I wanted to unlock my Phone with the PIN-Code, suddenly the resolution of the Samsung Galaxy S3 changed to a minimal resoultion and went to the top of the Screen, I couldn't restart because I didn't see the Power-Off "function".
So I took the battery out of the phone, waited some time, and put it back in, then there was the same problem and I couldn't do anything, so I thought it's maybe a Software Issue, so I went to the Download-Mode (Volume Down + Home Button + Power Off/On then pressed again Volume Down to get into the Mode, btw I couldn't see anything expect the red "!" at the Top.
So I reseted my Phone to the default Firmware (I had CM10.1) with Odin, and the Problem was still there, so I thought you guys could help me maybe ;/
Is it a Hardware Issue or a Softer Issue?
Do I still have a gurante?
What do I have to do?
The phone is like 4-5 months old btw.
Thank you!
//First it happens like in "Photo_2" then some time later it happens like in "Photo_1".
Guys, please help me :/
Looks like hardware failure to me, you have tried flashing stock Rom, did you factory reset after the flash?

You will get no help by not following the rules and bumping posts .
You have no warranty.
Flash stock rom via Odin and read the return for warranty how to post .

Well I can't see anything so no I couldn't do a factory reset, and I heard that if you got a Hardware Issue that you will get a gurante, is that correct?

No.
Root or custom rom or certain types of damage void warranty .
Phone unable to power on then its likely that root would never be noticed .

Well you can Power on it, but if you go into the DownloadMode you can't see how often I flashed my i9300 (or let's say you can't see if i flashed my phone), so will they notice that I flashed it somehow?
can you go into recovery by holding the power+ volume up button?
Hi guys.
Today at morning my phone stucked while i was talking with my friend. Then a strange problem appeared. If i lock screen or timeout itsell, my phone just doesnt wake even i hit all the buttons i just have black screen.
However i could connect it to computer, recieve notifications on notification light but screen just stays black.
First i did a factory reset, doesnt work, flashed a different rom it doesnt solve.
Now i could only use my phone until the screen locks itself also booting stage started to take hell longer with that problem maybe related i dont know.
I dont have a secondary phone to use dont know how to solve this problem. For temporal, i make screen timeout for ten minutes and everytime i had to unplug battery.
Thanks.
Stock rom or custom? Different kernels or mods added?
First go back to a fresh installation of stock rom to test if you have a hardware fault.

If it does it on 4.1.2 stock, after full wipe then warranty repair required.

Hi. I have a SGSIII which doesn't work properly. Its previous owner told me that the phone had started work slowly so the owner decided to restore factory settings. After that operation he was not able to use SGS. It keeped restarting. He gave up and now this telephone belongs to me. When I try to run this phone telephone restarted as soon as the system started. I decided to flash SGS with stock firmware. I found the one which contained only one file (PDA). Unfortunately it didn't help me. Then, I installed CWM and CM11. But the problem still wasn't solved. Finally I decided to find four-file stock rom (Bootloader, PDA, PHONE, CSC), of course I still have the same problem. I've been looking for solution in the Internet and I'm afraid that could be hardware problem, what is more, it seems to be common. Do you, guys, have any ideas what can I do to fix this issue? Or can you confirm that is the hardware problem? Thanks in advance.

Well I haven't tried taking it to service, because I am not sure if it is worth to repair this. Replacing the motherboard will be expensive so the better way will be buying another phone.
It could be a stuck power button... that can cause bootlooping type behavior. If the phone turns itself on when you put the battery in, but then reboots before it gets done booting it's likely the power button.

I don't think so the power button is guilty, becaue the telephone doesn't turn itself and it doesn't reboot until Android starts.
