Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s2 that I bought off kijiji. It is white and was originally from bell. I unlocked it and the phone worked great for 2 weeks I could charge it pull the battery out and put my koodo sim card and it worked. One night I went to sleep and woke up and it was dead. So I went to go charge it and it didn't charge or want to turn on... So I went to go buy a new battery that was already fully charged and I put it in the phone and it worked, it turned on and everything worked. Then it died again as I was at school and it wont charge or turn on again! So I gave both batterys to a friend who has the same phone to charge and then I tryed it in my phone again and it wont turn on. I made a youtube video of my problem so this my explain it a little better also. Here is my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=184adlrU9eQ&list=UUGtRGDv9GcPPEZS3_oLB8UQ&index=1&feature=plcp
PLEASE HELP ME I NEED A PHONE. THANKS

Its not rooted I just unlocked it, thats all I did to it, and I dont know the firmware or anything else. I cannot get into recovery mode . tried holding own home+power+volume up.

Can you get to download mode? Hold volume down home and power on button. If you can go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through Odin

Do you know if the phone is still on the guarantee? It most-likely is so you should bring it to Samsung ASAP and they will probably give you a refurbished one. The only problem is if you used a code to unlock the device, you'll pretty much lose it. Don't bring it to Bell, they won't give a damn because they're not your provider.

Bottom line is, if you haven't rooted the phone or run non-stock firmware on it, don't risk doing that now to try and fix it. If it borks, you'll end up voiding your warranty.
Send it into Samsung/an authorised repairer & have it repaired under warranty is my advice (contact Samsung in your country to get details of repairer).
Now, if you have rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware on it, and you can get into download mode then you can still fix it. If you can't get into download mode tho, there's no chance of you fixing it so don't even attempt to. Send it to a service centre & hope they don't notice you've been messing with it.
I cannot get into download mode.
No download mode, no recovery & phone won't boot = service centre/Samsung authorised repairer & hope they can't tell you used a bit of dodgy software to try & unlock the phone & borked it in the process.
I guess you could try a jig & see if that gets you into download mode as well.
This problem just happened to me... I did the soft reset mentioned in other forums and did not work... so I took the battery, sim card, and SD card out and put the battery cover back on, left alone for 1hour... tried soft reset again and worked.
Soft reset: Battery out, press ON button for 10 secs, put battery back on, turn on.
As I said yesterday I had problems turning on the phone and managed to turn it on by performing a soft reset... now the problem is that I usually turn it off every night and this morning it happened again, the phone won't turn on... did the same soft reset and there it went again but I am now scared of turning it off and never be able to turn it on again... Can someone suggest what the problem may be? would be a hardware problem? Or should it be a ROM/Kernel/Recovery problem?
Its hardware. I had this issue and it killed two batteries (mine drains battery and kills it, single use battery...) gave to Samsung and was fixed with motherboard and LCD change.
My Gf's Galaxy 2 wont torn on just keeps vibrating. Does like it going to turn on but it inmediately shut itself off. Please i need a solution!!
Sounds like a battery problem... get a new battery
It's not the battery

I have had same issue. I got a new battery and it still buzzes, doesn't charge and doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem.
i hope help
This happened to my phone and it really is a simple fix. 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.
OR just plug in the phone when it's off and then power off

Thank you bub, you just helped me save my co-workers phone lol
Same problem after having the phone on the shelf for a while
I guys..
Samsung Galaxy Sii GT9100-P
Not Rooted
Unlocked by using an unlock code (when adding an unrecognised sim) Was on Orange, unlocked it with a Voda sim in it.
upgraded the firmwareusing Samsung Kies last June.
then I got an S3 and put this on the shelf.
I have 3 Batteries for the S2 and charged them all with my desktop battery charger.
the phone will not power on if:-
Battery Out and on Cable with PC
Battery In connected to PC or Mains
Will not go into download mode
any battery charged and no cable.
I shelved this perfectly working and kept is as a "spare" phone.
now the time has come to use it.
anyone any ideas?
I know it is out of warranty, so I guess a chargeable fix will be required!
but I cant beleive a fully working S2 would due after being left on a shelf!
Thanks in Advance Guys!
Oh..
PC has been rebuilt since the Samsung Kies update, so I dont have the emergency or backup files to work with.
Cheers,

I had this same thing happen after Odin froze during a flash of the stock Vibrant US firmware. I thought for sure it was dead...no battery charging icon when plugged in, couldn't boot into download mode, no signs of life at all...nothing I did made it do anything. After messing around for an hour and a half I figured out how to get it to boot into download mode:
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
This got me into download mode consistently when my phone looked 100% dead. After that I unplugged it from the computer (still in download mode), fired up Odin, set up my flash files, and plugged it back into the computer. It then showed up in Odin and I was able to re-flash successfully.
Maybe it will work for you guys too. Don't put the SD card or SIM card back in until after you flash, though. I couldn't get mine to flash correctly with the cards installed.

Did not work at all... Accidentally I flashed my phone with a i9000 firmware tar file and now the phone is dead... can anyone tell me please how to save it? I don't have a phone at all
everyone just needs Download mode. access it whatever way you can same thing as recovery mode its just usually not that simple to get into using the multi-button methods. If all else fails to access download mode buy a team whiskey pre-made USB JIG. I havent purchased one but from the responses it seems like a good buy especially if you find yourself in a spot like most of you are in

Have you tried the hardware jig? That is a guarantee getting it into download mode.
How are you trying to enter download screen? Did you disable voodoo first?

If it boots on its own without pushing power, take battery out and plug in usb, hold only volume up and down replace battery and should jump right to download. Bricked my phone every way possible, by now I can get out of almost anything.

Are you sure you installed the samsung drivers right?
Rolling with TW's latest beefy beast.
I'm pretty sure if those options didn't work your Vibrant is a hardware locked one. You may want to try the hardware jig as mentioned above. I've fixed my hardware locked vibrant countless times with that little tool

well after tons of hours and trying every way i came to the concusion that the usb port might be damaged or corroded on the phone, like ive stated before my other vibrant connects perfect to the computer,,and on this phone i can wiggle the cord by the phone and you can hear it connect / disconnect from computer, but it still it not recognized by the comp. and so i dont think the jig would work becuase u would need a good usb connection to begin with,im thinking my gf got some water / snow or somthing in the port corroding the connection, i took a magnafying glass and seams like there is some green corrosion in the port.
nevermind ...........
Also bricked my phone - Will the jig help?
After trying to install Froyo through Kies and failing, after trying to put stock ROM with Odin and again failing, i got the phone to the state that the only thing I get when powering up the phone is the picture of "phone --! -- computer". It is not trying to boot at all.
Will the jig help to get it into download mode? Are their any other ways to bring it to life or it is total brick?
Tnx

Pull everything out of your phone (battery, sim, sdcard)
Open ODIN on your PC and plug the USB into it (PC)
Put the battery back in and hold down both volume e
keys
Plug the USB into the phone
Should be in Download Mode and you can let go of the volume keys.

Try one more thing... Pull the battery and put it back in so your phone is off...plug in the charger so you get the charging screen...now when you see the charging icon hold in both volume buttons and the power button. You will see the icon flash off and back on then flash off and back on ...now when it flashes off for the third time...let go of the power button only..keep holding the volume keys
see if it will go into download mode that way
i had tried all of these methods and the jig...none of them worked...ervery time the screen turned on, it was the phone ! computer screen....no charging screen, nada..no matter what i did
ok try this too, pull batt,,,plug in charger,,,put batt. in then as soon as it lights up pull batt again,,then put back in fast,,then pull again as soon as it lights up ,do this 4 times and see what happens,,,my phone will get stuck on the samsung screen,and no matter what i do it gets / stays stuck like that untill i do the batt pull reinstall 4 times .then on the 4 th time i leave batt. in and phone boots up normal
Possibly i did the most stupid thing in my life.
I accidentaly started to odinflash a p1000 firmware on my s2 i recognized it at the do not turn off sign no process has been done nothing has been flashed i pulled off the cable. And the download mode was still on. I wanted to restart download mode so i used the 3 button combo. The screen went blank and didnt turned on again.
The reason i tried to flash this **** cause i work with phobes and i handle loads of firmware. What can i do? Its not my phone tbh .
Please any idea?

Get a usb jig and try that if you can't get into download mode normally.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
If you can't get into download mode the usual way, jig is maybe a 5% chance of working (I'm probably being generous). JTAG repair - cheaper option or Samsung service center/authorised repairer - probably more expensive option unless they don't notice it's been messed with thru some miracle.
Definitely try a jig tho & while you're waiting for the jig to arrive you might as well put it on charge overnight & leave it alone, then try getting into download mode the usual way again.
if your phone gets detected on system? if so try the following adb command va commandline
"adb reboot download".
Thanks i hope obe of the methods will work. I tought jig is 100% percent stuff you serious i have 5% chane that it will work?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Did you try hooking your phone up to your PC & trying some ADB commands as Bala suggested ?
If you get absolutely no signs of life from the phone at all, it's unlikely the jig will work. But you might as well try one.
when i plug the usb i hear no sound from my pc and i dont know if the phone is turned on or off cause its just blank screen.
in the device manager there is no new device.
i have efs backup
thats all
I think playing around with ADB is going to be a bit difficult to be honest (you'll need to find an ADB tutorial; search for one if you still want to try), so order & jig/wait for it to arrive.
If it doesn't work, either get it JTAG'd or send it in to Samsung.

1.Remove battery reinsert battery and use combo key for download mode(try to download mode of P1000 or try to download mod of Galaxy S2. don't care black screen)
2.connect usb phone and pc
3.see odin if ID com connected(yellow) you can flash Galaxy S2 rom
no nothing helps
you know when u plug something to yout computouer
you her a little "ding" sound
i dont hear that
how is the usb jig is working anyway?
i think i messed up big this time.
if i plug it in to usb the comp dosnt recognizes it but the phone is getting hot aroundd the camera.
only after 10 minutes of plugged in time.
still no idea ?
the service guy will come to us at wednessday soi just ask him to restore bootloader with jig? or what?
Just wondered if you have tried to boot the phone into recovery mode
Pressing and holding the volume up + home + power
Guess you probably have but its not mentioned anywhere so just a thought becasue you can do a factory reset from there if the phone will boot into it.
nothing helps, tomorrow is the day , i hope we can send it back to samsung to repair it ... or the usb jig thats my last hope.
thanks for the answers.
else i have to pay for a 300 euro phone that i have never used ... /cry

hey dude try this.
1)Remove the battery from the phone.
2) hold the three button combo (VOL dwn + home + pwrbutton) simultaneously.
3) put the battery into phone while holding those buttons.
4) wait for a cpl of secs and see if the phone enters dwnld mode.
5) if dwnld mode shows up then u can use ODIN to flash back a stock ICS rom.
6) if not buy a cheap USB jig from Ebay and try.
Nothin and i buy usb jig and again nothing

then u should approach a nearest samsung service center if ur phone is still under warranty.
and just tell them that while updating on OTA the phone suddenly went blanck and wont turn on
The problem is i dont have warranty :S Can i try on jtag or just to trash my phone?
hello, yesterday i have flashed a wrong firmware. i took the firmware from i9100.
my phone is i9100g. now i want to flash another firmware with odin but i can not get into download mode.
i take off the battery, put in again, press volume down + home + power button.
nothing happens. yesterday i could get into dlm, but today nothing happens.
i can start the phone. if i turn on the phone, i see the exclamation mark as here: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/i/c/blg/cat/mobiles/rootingsgs2/rootingsgs5.jpg
how can i unbrick my phone an flash the original i9100g firmware ?
Are you sure there isn't any timing problems for the three button combo? Take out battery, reinsert. Press home, volume down and power simultaneously. Then volume up to continue. If it can go to the samsung logo, it definitely should be able to go into download mode.
Or, try a USB jig (its cheap and worth it, or you can make it by following plenty of tutorials here). It forces the phone into download mode.
Alternatively, if you have ADB set up and had USB debugging enabled on your phone, you could reboot into download mode by using adb reboot-download.

If you have screwed your device I have absolutely no sympathy for you. Maybe you will learn to read/research properley before flashing in future.
If you cant go into download mode try booting into recovery mode and restoring backup or flashing zip.
errr....i think he did get to download mode....he just didnt know what to do with it. NOW he's up for a solid XDA-READING night.
hell man, push those buttons like theres no tomorrow until u get to DLM!

* take battery out of phone
* launch Odin
* locate ROM you would like to flash
* plug ph into pc/laptop (nb, battery still out of ph)
* holding button combo for d/l mode insert battery (extra helper maybe needed)
* 'if' ph gets into d/l mode, flash ROM
NB, this saved my S2 from BSOD
