Hey.
I've had my S2 4G ( i9210T ) a whole day now, I rooted it ect, and then I accidentally flashed a S2 rom ( I9100 ) and now theres no download mode, no recovery, no nothing at all.
Anyone have any ideas or can help me?
You mean you can't even get into the bootloader? Wow... Try flashing a stock rom on it through your pc using Odin.
Pretty sure you bricked it mate, send it back to Samsung lol

Well you could try some things like wiping SD, wiping phone and put stock roms and everything on it. After that. Yea send it back.
It's completly ****ted, no recovery, no download, no lights, no vibrations absolutely nothing, not even a backlight button. PC don't even recognize it when I plug it in.
Does it show android...!...PC? Remove battery reinsert it. Get a JIG (google samsung JIG) and then insert it when you start the phone. Then when you see download mode pull it out and connect it to your pc and using Odin you should be able to flash it.
If that phone--!--PC don't show up then you're just straight up ****ed, I think.
Nope nothing comes up on the screen, not a damn thing. I've tried the old hair dryer trick ( worked on old SGS2 ) and it didn't make it go to download mode.
There is literally not a sign of life at all, will go down get some resistors tomorrow and try make a jig, what resistors do I need?
unlucky
Oh man, thats bad :/
You will need a mini-usb-A male connector and a 300k resistor. Then solder the resistor to the connector like this:

So,
In a recent ROM update, I also added a battery apk so I can see the percentage. I put the apk on the sd card and attempted to install via recovery. Error'd out and rebooted the phone. The downfall is when it went to reboot, would not power back up. Would GREATLY appreciate any assistance!!!!!! I did a battery swap just to double check and my batter is fine.

leave ur phone off and keep it plugged into a charger for an hour, then try pulling the battery, put it back in and see if it boots. i would probably try booting into bootloader and going to recovery first.

I appreciate you NOT tearing me apart for a question. I did leave it charged. The charge light won't even come up. I tried removing the battery and placing the battery back in. I'm wondering if there's some type of hard reset button in the phone. Something behind the battery. Or if I touch a couple of posts then it will reset. I'm not hardware savvy. Suggestions?

wow at this point im not too sure if its not even wanting to boot up. i guess try holding power and vol down to see if it even goes into hboot....
If it goes into hboot, flashing a new rom if you have a custom recovery or flashing a stock recovery if you don't should solve the problem.
Charge your battery in another phone. Then try and boot it. If that doesn't work, plug it into a PC and "adb reboot". That should work. If, it doesnt, warranty the phone.
Hello,
Before i went to sleep i flashed franco's kernel v15 (yes, i'm using ICS lol) but didn't test anything
I always sleep with a glass of water near my bed, you may know now what happened lol. While i was sleeping I accidentally hit the glass of water and barely wet my phone, it was like:

As you can perfectly see at the image above, just thin water film wet the phone, i removed the battery and I waited until perfectly dry. Inserted the battery again and everything was working very well... until the devil night comes >.>
I connected the charger and nothing happened. Tried to connect on PC... again, nothing happened. And now it doesn't charge the battery / pc does not recognize the phone (doesn't show on devices list).
UNLESS
I have a universal charger (the one u put the battery on and it charges up) and it charges the battery, and if I put the battery back on the phone, the phone charges the battery again o.0, and if i disconnect and connect the cable it stop charging O______O
Can someone help me?
I know that I should lead to technical assistance, but takes too much time to fix phones in brazil, maybe a simple battery replacement could fix (if had battery is shorted)
PS: I first though the kernel was the problem and not the fact that I almost washed my phone roflmao
If the battery charges well on an external charger, to me, it means it's not a battery issue but maybe a connector issue on the phone.
You didn't use a hair dryer to dry your phone, did you? lol
The first step would be to try with another battery to check if it works.
Have you tried to factory reset your phone just in case (although I doubt it would do anything but....)
Yes, flashed another kernel, another rom (from ics to JB). Cleaned STweaks settings and init.d folder.
I didn't use the hair dryer lol
Check the input of the charger it must be sulfured (i think its something like that) my phone had something kind of wet but the input was full of sulfur and just needed to be cleaned

What did you use to clean?
PS: There's no oxidation products at first sight
It's now charging everytime I connect the plug, but still can't transfer items from PC->S3
It could be oxidation on the internal usb connector. The charger lines are probably clean enough to charge, but the data lines are still oxidized, therefore no detection on PC. If you're careful enough, you could clean the contacts with a very small needle or a pin. Just brushing with the tip over the contacts.
Or try connecting the usb cable many times, that might brush off the contacts... like in, out, in, out... ( no need for jokes )
I would take the battery out and submerge the phone without its battery cover in rice for a few days, that should suck all the moisture out of it.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, there's like a couple of days where it does not charge, or barely does, sometimes it charges about 5% in 1 or 2 hours and sometimes it does not takes charge at all..I've been looking at the internet that this problem is not so unique with this model, but I don't know what to do to get it back working properly, it was working fine when I just got it, I have it since about 1 month maybe, I read that a factory reset could fix it, or even this:
First take the battery out of the phone for about 10 seconds. Then with the battery out plug the phone up, wait a few seconds, and put the battery in and immediately press power. Should be as good as new.
But I don't know, could you please give some alternatives to try? thanks a lot!

Are you using the original charger? Using other chargers with less output will stop it charging properly

It was working fine until let's say one week ago...any advice? should I try the methods described above? did I damaged the phone? thanks!
EDIT: I rebooted the phone and seems like it's charging, but too slow in my opinion...
I had this problem last week. I coudnt figure out what the problem is but I took the battery out and put it back in after 10 secs. Fixed.

Well, I did what you said and it's working...it's pretty weird isn't? and looking on the web, this happens a lot with the phone :S thanks! I hope it keeps working!
Problem is still there...when I first purchased this phone did not have this problem...I'm not sure but I guess it started after updating to JellyBean, has anyone suffered something similar after updating? thanks!

If you look you will find a JB poor charge/ battery life thread .

Hi folks,
My S2 wont turn on. Not when connected to a charger or via USB to my puter. It occasionally heats up whilst connected to charger/computer near the camera.
I had this same problem about 4 weeks earlier. Tried all sorts of stuff after reading around on the forums here : Remove battery. Let it discharge completely(for a day). Soft Reset. Hard Reset. Hit Power+vol up+menu button while inserting battery at the same time. No avail.
But after a couple of days of desperation, opened up odin3 v1.85. Connected the phone to computer via usb. Put the computer on sleep mode. Checked again after bout an hour or so. The phone had heated up near the camera. Removed the USB plug and hit power button. VOILA!!!! it started!!!! Another thing i must mention is that in ODIN. The ID:COM box (6 boxes) had turned yellow showing Port 1, 3, 5, 7, 6, 4 in random order. and in the Message Box it showed Port 1 : connected. Upto 7.
Phone was working fine for upto 4 weeks after that. Started acting funny again. Got random freezes. Then a couple of times the box saying : Unfortunately your gapps has stopped working, turned up. Couldnt get into play store. Powered off the phone to try to get into the recovery mode.
Again the same problem which I had faced 4 weeks earlier.
Been trying for about a week now. All the same methods tried earlier
Tried the method which worked earlier. with ODIN on, phone connected via USB charger. ID:COM box turns yellow(6 boxes) Phone heats up near battery. But it wont power on again like it had the last time.
Stock JB firmware present on phone
Would be a great help if anyone knew what the hell is going on with my phone. Help / Suggestions anyone ?!
Service centre - motherboard replacement, or source a 2nd hand board from a 'donor' phone somewhere & either swap it out yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it.

Thanks! But dont want to give up just yet on it. Also the Service Centre guys in my city are nothing else but a bunch of thieves.
Have taken it to a service centre and shown it already, the options offered to me was they would force a software re-install, check the battery and also something about keeping the board immersed in some liquid for a day(was told that it 70% of the phones start up after that).
Just dreading the motherboard replacement, apart from wanting to spend on it.
Am attaching a screen shot of ODIN after I plug in the phone and leave it for bout an hour with the computer in sleep mode.
Tried it again but just wont turn on.

Phone won't boot = replace motherboard.
Edit - You ostriching doesn't change the situation.
Hello,
My HTC DNA suddenly turned off while plugged in the charger and does not want to turn on. (I suppose it was fully charged)
When plugged into the charger, it has no signs of life the charging light does not even flash.
I have tried almost all the possible key combinations (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, the same while being plugged in, etc...)
I have taken it apart, disconnected battery from the motherboard and left for several hours. That did not work also.
I tried to wake it up using different chargers and pc, that did not work also.
When it is plugged into the wall charger, the ac adapter warms up a bit.
What can else can I do to wake it up? I am in a desperate situation, because the only alternative at least for several months is Nokia XpressMusic with a bad screen and earspeaker. It is a big downgrade.
I have found threads with similar problems here and on other forums too, but still could not find solution.
Any idea will be VERY appreciated.
Thanks.
The issue you explain is the phone failing. It is an issue with the main board. The only solution is sending it to HTC for a board swap which was $180 last I checked for this device.

I brought it used and can't repair it under warranty. For $180 I can buy better phone, but I have no money at the moment.
Is not the motherboard repairable?
If we assume, that hardware of the phone is okey, what possible fixes of the issue are avialable?
Thanks.

Only other solution is jtag. It is a special module some skilled people have to force responses from phones. It is a long shot, but it might work.

Okey guys, I have a big update.
I have left my phone in a battery disconnected state for about 24 hours and it finally turned on. Then it had audio problems (squeezing noise only in speakers, sound in headphones was fine), after trying to make a call, it shut off itself again.
I have disconnected the battery again, flashed new rom and the problem with audio remains. In the beginning it had problems with charging, but after several minutes in the wall plug it began to charge.
By the way, I have lost the black tape, what was between the motherboard and case. I think, that the phone won't have problems without it. What do you think?

your problem is probabbly died tfa 9887 sound chip. you can take it from htc m7 and other motherboards.
