hey,about a week ago I flashed my galaxy s2 with Resurrection ROM,everything went great,I also wiped emmc in the recovery(before I knew about the hard brick bug)
anyways everything was fine,restored via titanium backup,after about an hour I wanted to restart my phone,so it turned off,but never turned on,it won't respond to charging,usb connections won't go to download mode nor recovery..just makes some heat (as it was turned on)
so I took it to a well known repair shop and told me he could revive it with a J-Tag
but I'am just worried :s
what could be the problem?
What could the problem be ? Without opening your phone up & having a look/testing how would we know ?
Sounds like something on the mainboard or the USB/charging circuitry might have died given it died suddenly & not while you were in the process of flashing something/similar, though if he's telling you it's fixable with JTAG then he obviously thinks it's a NAND issue.
Take it to another repairer & get 2nd opinion (or a 3rd, 4th, etc).

No more charging
My SGSII stopped with charging!
The battery was empty so i wanted to charge it, but the big battery never showed on screen
I tried different charging methods (wallcharger, usb) and used different battery's (standard 1650Mah & Extended Battery Kit 2000 Mah)
Is there something i can do because its way to early to buy another phone!
And just because i want to have it fixed

My phone dead too.. Was using NeatRomLite and there was no issue with it.. And today... *sniff sniff*.. in the middle of using the phone, it got stuck.. I pulled the battery.. gave it 2 min.. and tried to power it on.. nothin.. no download mode, no recovery, no charging indicators.. nothin.. it has as much functionality as a piece of rock now :crying:
Any updates on your S2's???
today i checked my phone and within an hour the battery had gone down from 70% to 30% and was hot reading 48 degrees celcius on widgetsoid monitor. i rebooted and it kept on draining till it got to 0 and turned off. once i got home and tried to charge through USB and A/C but nothing happens, the phone wont turn on or charge, blank screen. i saw it flash the battery charging icon for about a second but it went away straight away. about a month ago i was running cm9 and then flashed 4.0.4 to have a look at the differences but not long after flashed siyah kernel with odin and restored my cm9 cwm backup. i have been on cm9 and siyah kernel for a long time and thats what it had running today. ive had usb and a/c and misc charging current set to 600mA for quite a while as well, and when i charge the phone in my car it always gets a bit hot on the back.
is my phone dead from hardbrick or a problem with the usb charging circuit?
i have enquired about warranty where i bought it from and now waiting to hear back from them.

Ok. Had GS2 5 months, been no bother , had several different roms and last rom was Criseklo v38. Plugged phone into charger and nothing happened
Tried several chargers nothing. Waited about 40 secs with charger in and suddenly the phone tells me its charging... odd but ok. left phone to charge well left it half an hour unplugged charger it read 92% but upon unplugging charger the phone read it was still charging After about half a minute it no longer read it was charging. Ok . Leave phone to charge to full when it tells me, i unplug charger it reads 100% and stays at 100% and flicks between its charging and its not and percentage doesnt drop from 100% until i reboot and it drops to about 96% or so. Battery now loses about 50% overnight and i cannot gauge what state my battery really is at. Wiped phone, formatted new rom, same issue. different rom same issue. I assume from this its not software problem. Is it i need a new battery or does it sound like phones gone **** up. BTW i plug usb to pc and it instantly loads up my sd cards as normal so the usb port seems unaffected. Im not sure what to do
Check what kernel was installed with your last ROM.Sometimes kernels that are use for OC/UV can cause wierd things like this.You may have a corrupt one and if so may need to flash it again.Flash a CF-Root kernel and see what happens.If that doesnt change the problem then we will have to look somewhere else,but its a start.
I acquired a new ext battery but phone still has same issue. I've cleaned kernels in cwm and flashed others but the problem still persists.
I don't know what else to try.

Had the exact same issue on my SGS2. This is not a software or battery problem. I took it to my local samsung service center and they replaced the port where we connect the charger and it started working fine after that.
Mine was under warranty and i was not charged for anything. So everything's back to normal.

Did you return your sgs2 to default or was it rooted when when you returned it to a Samsung service center. I think its what ill have to do is return it under warentee.

Wow sounds like the exact same problem I had just a few days ago. I think my problem was down to moisture caused by using my phone while out in the snow. I bought a new board on ebay for £7 and that fixed the problem but obviously involved removing the casing and a few screws and plugs to fit.
Well i rooted the phone and was running a deodexed rom with siyah kernel. but before taking it to the service center, i flashed a stock rom and kernel and did the binary counter reset with a jig.
Even then they found out that the phone was rooted before, though i pretended i dint do anything and they couldn't justify it. So i guess the warranty was still valid.
Hi Everyone,
After doing a deep search i did not find the exact problem I have.
Specs:
Phone: SGS2 i9100
ROM: CM10 Nightly 08.09.2012
Kernal: CM Stock
You can see the symptoms of my problem in the video I found below (it wont allow me to paste link with less than 10 posts so i shortened the URL)
youtube.com/watch?v=BCyp1iCTW2M
This is what happened:
1. I had an Adapter from Car Outlet to USB so i connected my phone using it but it seemed they did not like each other.
The phone was stuck on a black screen so I restarted it and noticed I lost 40% battery in those few minutes, looking at BBS i saw the RIL wakelock so decided its just a coincidence and i'll let the battery drain all the way to calibrate it at night (the phone worked perfectly fine)
2. After the battery was fully drained I connected it to the PC to charge and turned it on and everything was fine, noticed it was at 0% so after a few minutes it turned off, after doing it a couple of times i let the phone charge "turned off" (thought maybe its low voltage of PC charge) through the whole night
3. at morning it did not charge at all, I managed to "almost" turn the device on but now the battery is really drained so i cant even do that
4. when i tried going into download mode (just to see if my phone is OK) i managed, when i am trying now i get "Battey is to low, cannot download"
5. I cant get into recovery mode, but i tried it after all the process above so its probably because of low battery
6. I tried it on 2 diffrent batteries (unfortunately my old one was also drained before)
- Anker 1900
- Original Samsung 1650
I am going to get an AC charged and try using it.
Any Ideas what should i do or what the problem is ?
Thanks in advance!

This is the way to go. First make absolutely sure the battery is charged, if possible by testing it in another device. With a fully charged battery it should be possible to find out if your phones hardware is still fine, especially the charging board.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply!
So far i got an AC charger for the phone (not a battery only cradle charger kind of thing) but getting the same problem.. it just wont charge the battery through the phone..
I'll try to get a fully charged battery to give feedback that the phone is fine and not bricked in any way as i mentioned before.
If everything is fine i'll see that the battery is chargeable when not completely dry and we'll be smarter after that.
in case it really became unchargeable and it is a problem in the charging board as you mentioned
Could you please expand on the functionality of the charging board ? and whats the process for fixing/replacing it ?
Thanks in advance!

Excellent! If it is not bricked then chances are good that it is 'only' a battery/charging problem.

If, in the end, the phone does not charge by the USB connector (no matter if from PC or wall plug) then it could be worth to replace the flex print with the USB connector and parts of the charging electronics. This flex print is quite cheap and you can get it from ebay. With the help of some video from youtube you should be able to replace it yourself
Well,
I have an update on the issue.. unfortunately can't say its a good one..
I've tried turning on the device with a diffrent battery (charged) and it workes perfectely fine.
since I live far i didnt want to wait a month till i get the USB flex from ebay i went to a repair lab and let the test the phone.
Unfortunately it is not the USB Flex but a deeper problem,
apparently the u500,u501,u504 parts got fried on the MB and they don't have them at all.
I am going to try to restore my phone (using a full battery) to the way i bought it and try go to the store and work the warranty (it voids as soon as i changed ROM), going to have to read a lot on how to do it perfectly and erasing traces of changes (go an old nand and need to unroot afterwards)
do u know a good guide for restoring the phone to full stock ?
Also,
is it possible to buy a complete MotherBoard for the GS2 or its not worth it ?
Thanks for the help!

There are quite a few guides around here that deal with unrooting and getting the device ready for official service. Personally I just make sure the flash counter is reset (TriangleAway or JIG) and then flash a stock firmware.

If the warranty wont work than I saw its around 150$ but if that will solve it it might be worth it instead of buying a new phone.
Thanks Again!
They are a lot more than that unless you are in USA/Canada.Theres a firm on eBay that give you $30-$50 for your old board,and they sell theirs for around $180.
Samsung would be around $250...

So.. After a long time (!!) I have an update.
No lab fixed my phone as everyone said its "unfixable" or need to replace some parts that they don't have... so I did what I planned to do.
I took a full battery from a friend
Restored the phone to full stock (the same official "partner" ROM I got the phone when bought it (even putted Android 2.3 on it LOL)
formatted my SD card , and of course did a "Triangle Away" to reset the flash counter
basically returned the phone to the way i bought it..
Since I still had around 2 month on the warranty I went to the store i bought the phone from and they accepted the phone based on warranty, as i didn't install any ROM's (LOL )
Only TODAY after more than a month and a half of wait, while it was at their official lab, after that was sent abroad to the Vendor itself, after nobody was able to fix it I got a new phone (14 days used phone) so, considering i was ready to throw my phone and by a new one it turned out OK.
since no one was able to fix it, it was probably a major problem.
Of course its better i got a new one, since even if they fixed the issue, who know what else it might effected so its a very good result.
Don't know if this helps anyone a lot, but at least its some closure to the thread.
Thanks for everyone who helped here!
Hi XDA,
My Galaxy S3 stopped charging properly a couple of days ago. In a matter of hours it froze and charged a bit slower, then it wouldn't charge anymore. When the phone is off and I plug in the charger, the animation starts for about 1 - 2 seconds, and then the screen goes black. If it's on, nothing happens when i plug the charger in and out.
I've owned the phone for a year, and I rooted about 3 weeks ago, and installed CM10.1 (Nightly). It worked fine until this problem.
I've troubleshooted a bit on my own, and what I've found out is that, it can't be the battery that's the problem, because I've tried three different ones, and the problem stays the same. It can't be the USB port on the phone, since I can get it to work in Download mode (ODIN mode). I've also tried CM9 and flashing back to stock android. I've also tried charging it from the wall and the computer, and used different cables. Nothing has done any better.
I'm guessing it's software related, I just can't figure out how to fix it.
Thanks in advance,
Zhibbhi
the charging port of the phone might be faulty.

By charging port I would suggest the charging circuit inside the phone is faulty, as it sounds like you've eliminated all the other possibilities. Return the phone to fully stock for warranty repair.
So even if I can access the phone through ODIN, the charging circuit can be faulty?
I just thought it was a strange coincident that it went faulty a just a couple of weeks after I installed CM10.1

Odin has nothing to do with the charging circuit .
Solutions .
One the battery try another
Two the charger try another >> charge phone from PC usb .
Three the cable try another
Four the USB port on the phone >>> clean
Five the onboard charging circuit >>> needs a service centre .
Six and highly unlikely a firmware problem wipe phone flash stock rom .

Ok, thanks a ton guys! I'm going to set the phone back to stock, and send it in for warranty repair as I've tried everything else.

In the future, avoid using S3's stock charging cable. I changed mine to one I bought off eBay and had no probs since then. I had several frequent problems like slow charging/no charging etc.

Best avoid using the phone to charge the battery at all, that way you don't stress the phone components with wake lock and heat. Buy a £6 desk charger and spare battery, replacing these is much cheaper than the phone motherboard.
Solved
I have an S3 and lately it has taken longer to charge and it was charging to less percentage. I tried 2 different chargers and 3 different cables with the same outcome. I was thinking about one of the threads I had read and they mentioned going to the cell store and it charged for them. I've read about it being the charge circuit on the main board and various other problems and solutions that didn't work. I went to Staples today and purchased a SCOSCHE reVOLT line h1 2.1 amp quick charge and in less than an hour I charged from 63% to the 100% I haven't seen in quite a while. The Samsung OEM charger it seems (as well as the other one I tried) had lost some of it's get up and go. It is working fine now and with this charger it doesn't take long at all to reach full charge. I've put a lot of time into customizing this phone after root and would have been VERY disappointed if I had to start over with a new one. I'd be willing to bet at least 90% of the charging problems people are posting about are caused by the charger deteriorating over time.

I have had this s2 for less than a year so the battery should still be good and has been up until today. I plugged my phone in last night to charge over night as I usually do, but when I woke up it was completely dead. I tried 3 different cords and many different ports and wall sockets and it still does the same thing, which is nothing.
The phone seems very sensitve as to how I have the cord plugged into its port. I have it plugged in now but I have to keep watching it because it will randomly stop charging. Well, it's barely even charging anyways. It keeps going back and forth between 6% and 7% charge. Would replacing the port fix the issue or is it a problem with the battery? Any help or info would be appreciated.

I just got the replacement port board in the mail and the phone charges fine now. However, once I put the board in the phone is saying "Emergency Calls only."
I've tried taking the sim card in and out and restarting it and what not and it still says the same thing.
Is the phone recognizing that it's not the original part or something?

You weren't on 4.0.4 were you??
This looks kinda messy.
If you were in 4.0.4, as rat said, you could be lucky as you probably have a brick due to the brick bug.
Of course, your warranty must still be standing.
Why? Because it's Samsung's fault, not yours (of course it is, they don't need to know tho).

I was driving and my phone was in my pocket. There is no way it was hit or got wet, I was driving whole time. Next time I took my phone, it was off. I tried to press power button and also hold it, nothing happened. I though my phone was stuck (never did it before) so I pulled out my battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back in and tried again. Nothing. I also had charger in my car and tried with that, nothing happened. No LED light, no screenlight, no vibration, nothing.
Now few hours after I am home and started to check whats wrong with my phone. I tried with original charger, nothing. My girlfriend also has S3 so I tried with her battery, nothing. She put my battery into her phone and noticed that it didn't go on. Funny thing is that I took my phone off charge this morning and phone was on for maybe 4 hours before this "death" happened. I took my multimeter and checked voltage. It was 0. Not 0.4 or 2.1 but 0.000. I checked my girlfriends battery also if my meter was broken but I got normal value from her battery. I plugged my charger into my phone and left it for 15 minutes. I tried to check voltage again and it was still 0.
Question is, did my MB broke and created short circuit resulting emptying my battery completely or did my battery flip and broke my phone at the same time? Also, are both cases under normal warranty and will Samsung still repair/replace my phone even if I had it rooted and installed MIUI? Reason I ask this is that my phone won't be sent to samsung for nothing and that they won't ask me to pay for shipping and investigating problem (I don't even want to know their hour wages for this).

But funny thing is that my phone didn't take any physical damage, it has never falled from big height (maybe something like 10-20cm and always to soft surface like carpet). It was working when I put it into my pocket and was broken when I took it. I was in the car whole time, not moving from drivers seat.
I'm not sure if Samsung will see if it is rooted since phone doesn't boot at all (tried with working battery). No vibration, no LED light, no screenlight. It's like trying without battery.
Do you think I should try and send it to Samsung or just throw it to trashcan?
If the motherboard is DOA then they won't try to fix it, just replace it and your battery (if the battery is under six months old). Well worth sending for warranty, at worse you'll pay the postage and refuse the repair if they try to charge you.
send it in, only option
Agree suck it and see .

My phone and battery are over 1 year old so no warranty for my battery. I just though maybe problem is at on/off switch but then again it doesn't explain my empty battery. I am now charging my battery on my girlfriends S3 and seems like it is charging so I guess problem is on my phone only. I will take my phone to local shop and they will send it tomorrow to Samsung. Thank you all for fast answer, lets hope best that they will switch whole motherboard and wont notice rooted phone.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue as well with my phone. I have left it on charge overnight and the phone stopped working. I have tried all the steps above but without any luck. If I take the phone for repair as you advise, are there any charges involved? And if they are, how much is the average cost for me to be ready for it and avoid getting a heart attack.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
If covered by warranty then there should be no charge, SDS is due to Samsung problem.
But if warranty is not available then allow £200 for a new motherboard.

But if warranty is not available then allow £200 for a new motherboard.

Well with the situation that I have with the phone at the moment, is it even possible to detect the root?
If the motherboard is completely dead then no, they won't find root (root alone doesn't invalidate warranty in the EU). The only problem might be if JTAG restores bootloader and flashed counter.
