Does the Sgs2 charge while in Download mode? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my Sgs2 went crazy ..won't boot wont go into recovery but goes into download mode. . Problem is my battery was low when this happened so i can't just flash from odin. . And the phone tries to boot instead of showing the charging screen! So does anyone know if it will charge if i leave it in download mode?

[Q] Did I just brick my phone?

Well, I just received my phone today and I decided to root it by following a guide. Little did I know that firmware I was rooting was not meant for this phone. Now the phone shows the Samsung screen for a split second and then it turns off.
Is there anything I can do to restore it back to normal? I only have access to download mode right now.
Pm howtomen hrs helped someone earlier today in irc. not sure how. But you're still ok

He helped me...long story short, there's not much we can do until a stock ROM is available.

Ohh ok thank you both for the quick replies. This sucks, I don't have a phone now untill I can get this fixed :\
So where did the dev forum for our phone go? Is it mixed in with the other major 4 US carrier versions?

It seems to randomly disappearing and reappearing.

If you can get into download mode you're ok. You need to flash a stock rom and you'll be back to normal. Don't flash chainfire's root from the international thread because the kernel is not the same.

Help me please! Recovery question

I just rooted my phone and its on gingerbread. I used Rom manager to download and install a cwm recovery..whenever I click anything in the recovery its just a blank screen with the recovery logo and it wouldn't let me wipe, flash, reboot, or power off. I'm trying to install an ics Rom. Is there any other recovery I can use? If so, please provide me with the link or file and tell me how to flash the recovery so that I may actually flash an ics rom

My phone won't boot anymore....

When I restarted my phone today, my phone does not finish booting... It stays at the Samsung screen and does the little vibrate thing (that it does just before the boot is finished) at intervals but it never finish...
I also took a factory reset from Recovery but it still refuses to finish booting..
How can I fix this?

BTJ

Please give more details like what android version and kernel you were using. And from your signature are you using S1?
Sent from my potato running a potato.
Try Odin happen to me once PC didn't recognize but Odin still did. Go to stickies section in Sgs2 section find stock ROM flash after I plugged in to kies and it did the rest. This method worked for me twice when all I had was a flickering black screen. Hope it works with U. Try to put into download mode three bottom press. PM if U need more help.

Its the sgs2 from my friend android version 4.0.4 stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Guessing that you have hard bricked the phone, due to doing wipe on stock rom.
Not much you can do, a new motherboard is required
Can you enter download mode?
Download mode is entered by Volume Down + Home + Power pressed simultaneously when your phone is off.
Sounds like your motherboard is toast. you got warrenty? maybe theres hope
nope
no compassion at all.
If you had read just a little bit about rooting / flashing, you would have known that you should not do a CWM factory reset on stock 4.0.4 rom.
Just like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
and here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hard-brick-bug-on-galaxy-s-ii-and-note-leaked-ics-kernels/
...and so on.
I guess you have to tell your friend that you ruined his phone

(HELP). Random freeze and reboot.

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

Flash the latest official stock rom with odin, factory reset then test before you install or restore anything.

Yeah, found it. Going completely stock now, without root also. Just going to try out the stock a while and see if it works. Then preferbly root and flash a custom rom again! Thanks.

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
