First of all, Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everyone got what they wanted and had a relaxing day!
Now, I was trying to flash or root my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100 earlier today for the first time. Thought to myself how hard could this be? After flashing or rooting, when i try to go into recovery mode, the phone resets and goes back the phone title plus the triangle. I keep holding up + power button but like i said, it just reboots the boot screen. It will go into download mode but not recovery. Why? how can i fix this? i am a noob at this but i am willing to learn.
thanks
you mean vol up - power - home combo get's you to Dl mode right?
what rom were you trying to flash and what rom are you currently on?

Find a stock firmware and try the Siyah kernel. Not sure if it works but it's worth a try.
Is the sprint model GT-I9100? Not SGH or something? Make sure you're flashing the right rom/kernel intended for your device.

Try holding Vol Up- Power- Home keys at same time and then wipe data...
Hopefully it will resolve the issue...
I ve also faced this issue some months ago...

Sprint's Galaxy SII model is NOT the GT-i9100. The GT-i9100 is a GSM phone, which doesn't even work on Sprint's CDMA network.
The model number for the Sprint Galaxy SII is SPH-D710, and it is also known as the Epic 4g Touch. (you can confirm this yourself by looking at the model number which is printed on the label underneath your battery) If you flashed something from THIS forum (which is for the GT-i9100), then you did something wrong, and that is also why it is displaying GT-i9100 upon boot.
Epic 4g Touch forum is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
EDIT to add: Also, there was ABSOLUTELY no reason to start two threads for the very same issue. (other thread here - still in the i9100 forums)
Guys I need your help. Since some days, all time when my phone starts it is stuck. Frist the Samsung Galxy S II thing, then this purple samsung circle with blinking samsung after that, then screen off (maybe 1-2 seconds) and then again this Samsung Galaxy S II thing. It there it stucks.
I always flashed a new rom, but after some hours same there.
Edit: After replace sim card and battery it stucks at Samsung Galaxy S II screen, without Blinking Samsung

Reboot into recovery and re-flash rom and/or wipe data/factory reset.
Also, its customary when asking for help to give relevant information like what rom/kernel you're currently on or trying to flash etc etc. Basically just give people more info then simply "hey phone isnt working".

As I said previously, Wipe data/factory reset.

I got a similar problem to this on Wanam 14.0 just a few days ago after I flashed the new phil Kernel, essentially just an infinite bootloop which isn't fixed by just turning the phone on/off. As previously said, I fixed it by just wiping data and flashing Wanam again (and hey, I didn't spam the forum with a stupid thread about an issue solved by using my squishy brain box thing for like 30 seconds).
Boo hoo if you lose all your XXX free porn apps, its better than not having a phone.
Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

Hi, no I can't boot in to download more or recovery mode, and the phone is out of warranty.
Thanks anyway.

Are you sure it's out of warranty? Samsung offers a 2 year warranty in some countries (afaik everywhere in the EU)
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.
Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.
Pls help guys

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Hi there:
I had bought the device in June 2011
I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.
Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.
Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.
I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.
Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2
Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Siddharth

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.
and post here

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
MJDdeLacerda - Take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis, unless you're experienced with this type of electronics, nothing you can do.

A loading what?
Is it stuck on the splash, bootloop,?
What were you doing before the issue happened?
How long ago did you get your phone?
Did you try to root, install a certain app, or anything else prior to the issue?
Some more info will help.
Is the phone new, used, etc etc
Power and volume up gets you into Recovery.
You have to release buttons as soon as you see Recovery Booting in blue words upper left.
Power and volume down gets you into ODIN/Download mode

So you're saying:
Device worked without issue for 8 months
Now all of a sudden, your device is showing the screen attached, and you didn't do anything to the phone prior to the issue?
I'm trying to get all the facts so that I may be able to give you accurate info to help you out.
Have you attempted to do a Factory reset in Stock recovery?
Yes it worked prior 6 months ...whenver i try to factory reset using volume down and home screen - samsung vibrant is displayed sometimes and than screen goes blank...

Do you have a Samsung T-Mobile S4 M919
Or
Do you have a Vibrant?
If you have a Vibrant, you're in the wrong Forum.
Did you flash a ROM for a Vibrant incorrectly to your S4?
Your pic is fuzzy and it's hard to tell, but it looks like it may not be an S4.

You are in the Samsung T-Mobile S4 M919 Q&A Forum
I suggest you post your question in the Vibrant thread
I'm sure you'll get your issue resolved.
Usually if you can boot into Recovery and ODIN/Download mode, you can get your device back up and running again.
Good luck to you :good:

Hello everyone!
I have this at&t Galaxy S II SGH-I777), which was somedays ago working just fine but today when I Connect charger or usb it shows charging for 1 second after which it goes to some kind of bootloop of charging it shows the battery icon (which appears when phone is off) and continuously appears and disappears. When I remove that charging device it boots up. I have wiped everything and am running Stock ICS rom the problem persists even in recovery mode. I flashed the official iCS rom using odin but no help. one more thing it is fine when it is in download mode! If someone got solution please help me, be nice!!!! I used descriptive post to make it easily understandable. one more thing: I have the original battery which works just fine with other phones. It is not NFC battery.

If I understand you correctly, you flashed the stock UCMD8 via Odin and that did not correct the problem? If that is so, then unfortunately it sounds like a hardware failure. This conclusion is based on the trouble shooting assumption that if you flash back to stock with wipe data/factory reset the phone should function correctly.
Thanks for your support. I will state this conversation as sloved. And will request this thread to be closed.
