hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything
>>>>next time try to look up a guide on how to get into cwm recovery<<<<

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

Hello all,
I was already in the possesion of a SGII that has been rooted and flashed before. I came from Hyperdroid Androidmeda with Android version 2.3.6. This morning i took the guess it was a nice day to flash a rom with ICS Android 4.0.x. My choice was the rom Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2.
I followed the exact instructions to Wipe Data, Dalvic Cache and Wipe Cache partitions before i flashed the rom. This went well, at this moment i didn't get any errors or bugs i.e. At the moment my SGII was booted i discoverd the rom a bit. And i came to the conclusion my camera was not working,eve as my outgoing calls. When i called somebody it rang barely one tone before my phone shutted itself down and rebooted. When i get an incoming call i couldn't see the Green answering button neither i saw the red denial button. So i this was just a guess.
But the main problem: I rebooted my phone manually and then he just shut down. I couldn't get him on anymore. On no circumstance it is possible for me to get my phone on. Battery in and out has no effect. Even connecting my phone with an usb cable with the PC gave no reaction. When i connected it to the charger i saw a blink of the loading battery but after a couple seconds my phone went off. And i dont get him on anymore.
What is wrong, what can i do to solve this?
Enter Download mode and check if Odin sees the phone.
Dude..odin pc is your last hope..never mind..it should work...try flashing a rom from there...

I did now try to boot it that way.
I see:

Do not turn off target !!
And this is showing to me for at least two minutes. Will this take a while?
Try to flash a rom straight forward.....if it works...it works...nd if it dont...it dont

It's clear you don't know how to use download mode. How did you flash your first ROM or root in the first place???
While in this mode, it is expecting you to connect the phone to a computer and use a flashing tool (Odin/Heimdall/etc) to install software to the device.
You can reboot just by holding the power button down for about 10 seconds.

The first rom i flashed was with CWM. It was quite easy and i rooted it more than half a year ago that was not that hard to. This is the third rom i flashed and now it all gets wrong.
I already had my connection between phone and computer but it doesn't respond any further.
At this moment i dont even get him in download/recovery mode anymore. Everytime i try it shows a second of a empty charging battery and it shuts down.

At that point i ain't arrived yet, unfortunately.
Here a guide (with picture) to flash stock firmware with odin, but the process is similar for custom rom.
Hope this help
Now i finally got in download mode again.
I tried to flash the Siyah kernel 3.3.2 via Odin.
In the attachment you see the result which went really well i thought?
But now i rebooted my phone and i only come to the begn screen with Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100 and the usual Yellow triangle. At that point it shut down again.

Your in a boot loop now. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
Read this as well to better understand Odin and flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
When you are in download mode, nothing happens until you connect it to your computer and flash a ROM via Odin (which you will be doing). Next time, read more.

Thanks all for helping me, my phone works again by flashing it back to stock rom.
I dont have any root privileges and the yellow triangle is gone now. I already miss things as changing battery icon and ability to use camera when batterylevel is below 15%.
But for now on i will take a little easy with flashing.
Mate, here is a hint for you. You should really thank people who help you and not just say “thanks." It helps the people who contribute feel like their input was actually appreciated in your problem solving. And not just for one person, but everyone who helps. Just a hint.

Ok guys so something really weird happens to me.
1st details about my i9100
Rom: pilotx rom jb 2.3 ,works like 3 weeks.
Lately I had a lot of screen freezes and stucks.
So I just wanted to backup the system before I flash a new rom
Entered to rom manager pro and click backup.
That's it my phone try to restart himself and what's comes it just a weird flickering lights on the screen.
What did I try:
Hard reset with long press home+power= try to restart- this time Samsung logo shows at first and after same weird flickering lights
Recovery= can't access
Download mode= ok
Also try 2 take out the battery for 5 minutes= nothing!!
Have to bold that I have this brick bug so...
Thanks for all of you...
You say you can get into Download mode?
So flash with Odin a non emmc bug firmware. Am I wrong?

Do you know for sure that you have the insane chip (it's a piece of HW) ?
Try to get in touch with mobile through Odin PC before you begin to cry
If success getting access through Odin, then try to flash a stock 4.0.3 firmware.
If you still can't flash it properly AND you indeed have the eMMC bug ... you might still be able to flash stock 4.0.3 firmware at the cost of some lost SD memory (search XDA ...)
Odin doesn't recognize my device, so I am afraid that I have this brick bug...
So how exactly I going to flash the stock rom

If you can get into Download Mode then:
- Disconnect phones USB cable
- Kill any KIES process
- Start Odin
- Restart phone and go into Download Mode
- Connect cable
- Wait a minutes until Odin show it is connected
- Flash away
On XDA there is a lot of guides showing how to do this
This one might help you Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII :good:
It's NAND rw corruption, you don't have a kernel what can perform read/write action, you have formatted /system. Find Phistachio guide how to recover your phone. Good luck.
P.S. I've got same trouble :'(

AFAIK you cant use Rom Manager on our GS2 so sounds like you tried to flash a kernel via it first and now system wont boot.
Just simply go into download mode and flash latest Siyah kernel and it should boot after that.

Hello everyone!
First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.
Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.
I got a problem with my S3.
I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.
Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.
I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.
I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).
I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.
I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.
so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?
Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.
Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Does this mean 100% no warranty?

I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.
And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".

I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.
The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".
It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.

What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.
Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.
If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty

Is there a way to check if i have driver/odin/any working without using the phone?

Hey there. I took a loan of my mums phone but I needed to unlock it so I went to root it.
I got Odin and it passed fine, and when I went to reboot, it said it was downloading and not to turn off. But it went on for ages so I presumed it froze so I turned the phone off and back on.
Now the phone wont turn on.
When turned off it charges fine, the charging symbol comes up and all but when I turn it on the screen goes black and nothing happens.
It's connected to USB and sounds like it gets picked up but I can't see it in my computer.
Can anybody help me and tell me how to fix this? I want to fix it before I have to give it back to her.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT
BTW I can still get into the CWM I think its called recovery menu. I'm pretty sure the phone was rooted, it just wont start up correctly.
I tried wiping dalvik cache, restoring to factory settings and fixing permissions, nothing fixed the issue however
This is the tutorial I followed: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I'm guessing since I can access recovery and download modes it's not that bad, I just need to install something else some how? Any ideas?
Restore any back up ..hope you have one..

once again.. if it your first rooting process then you need to unlock the bootloader.. use CF-root by chainfire..
Not quite. The bootloader on the SGS2 isn't locked.
You need a rooted kernel which has busybox & SU. CFRoot does, but you can also flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with the Android version of the stock rom you're running to achieve the same result, I.E a rooted phone.
Man...that's 2 threads I've read in the last 5 minutes where people are having problems with their phones after following advice from Galaxys2root.com.....is it coincidence?
