I was running Lite'ning Rom (v2.7 I think) until a few days ago until I flashed to the new version of resurrection (v.2.5.3), my phone worked for the last few days but now it seems that the battery is no longer charging either from AC or from USB. The battery is now at 0% and won't enter download mode and isn't recognised by Odin/Kies/etc...what can I do? Looking for any helpful advice at all. I think the phone itself is working fine apart from the charging issue! Thanks for any advice and apologies if this is a stupid question!
Edit: When switching roms, I followed the proper extended instructions (wipe data, cache, dalvik, etc.)

Well it seems to me that it has nothing to do with the rom. I looks like to me that your phone just broke, so i would go to best buy or some other company that fixs phones and have them look at it.

OK, I've managed to get it to turn on by leaving it connected to USB for a long period, it gets to the home screen (which is absent of icons) and then loads the android system page (which is absent of everything but the title). Then it goes off before I can do anything. Still haven't managed to get it into recovery/download mode though, it says that the battery is too low for download.

Ok, to update- I have reflashed resurrection rom via CWM and it is no different in terms of the problem. I have however worked out that it charges while in recovery mode which to me suggests all may not be lost...seems more like a software problem of some sort, no? I am downloading the stock 4.0.3 firmware and will flash via Odin, I'll see if that helps!

If you have CWM try NeatROMLite
this is similar to the stock.

It all started when i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I tought it was to confusing to use the long way of rooting so i used to supercurio auto root kernel. I followed the instructions and everything went fine, but when the phone rebooted (like it said it would) it got frozen at the Yellow Triangle boot screen. After this i tried to flash many different kernels without luck, i tried to flash firmware roms aswell but that didn't work either.
The battery seems to be depleted and there is no way for me to open the Download Mode.
Im really new to the android world and i would be the happiest man in the world if i could possibly get the right answers.
P.s! When my phone actually had battery i couldn't open the Recovery Mode
No download mode then you need the USB recovery jig ebay/Google .
With a charged battery .
jje
But i can't charge it since the phone is stuck at the empty battery icon with the looping circle in it (which is stuck aswell). The phone just gets hotter when i try to charge it but i doesn't do any good at all
I think you'll just have to buy a jig and find a way to charge the battery again.
Maybe you can try a full battery from a friend?
Or charges yours in the Galaxy S II of a friend.
After that just try to reflash en wipe everything in cwm.
Good luck!
OKey, thanks for the reply but what does the USB jig really do? I have heard that it only boots the phone into download mode. But even if that works it still wont get the phone to operate as it should since i tried to flash different kernels before when i had battery left.
If i charge the phone right now, it will first show me the empty battery and then it just reboots back to the battery icon. If i press Volume down - Home - Power button it just says that i have to low battery and that it wont go into download mode. Recovery mode has not worked since the first time i tried to flash to Supercurio's auto kernel.
Plz help!
The experts should explain it better but the jig I think allows you to write data directly to the nand. There should be external chargers for the s2, you could try searching for that too.
I suppose what you should take away from this is that it pays to avoid shortcuts. I'm pretty sure it says on the cf thread that the auto root doesn't work on the phone.

Maybe you should try once more flashing a complete stock rom with repartion and pit.
A jig just puts your device into download mode.
It is very cheap on Ebay.
I don't think it is smart to try charging.
I once had a problem like this with the original Galaxy S .
I went to shop where I bought the phone and asked for a battery.
Just try to get a full battery and jig.
I think that is your only chance...
Good luck!
Have you tried letting it charge for some while? The S2 gets a little hot when charging so thats probably not a problem, if i were you i would let it charge for an hour or so and then try to enter download mode again
Thanks but if i plug the phone in with the charger nothing really happens. On the screen it's just a empty battery and within that battery there is some kind of circle that should be swirling but it is frozen, therefor i dont think the phone is actually getting any power...
Even if i set it up with a USB jig and a new battery, what kind of kernel should i use? And should i flash it with a new firmware?
I really have no clue on this one.
The phone only reacts to the button combination regarding download mode, but whilst in there it just says "low battery !! Can't download !!" and that's it.
Any more advices? I will die of happiness if someone helps me with this!
Thanks.
Looks like you need a service centre
or flash stock rom via Odin after accessing download mode via buttons or recovery jig .
You dont want a kernel you want full new stock firmware .
jje
Yea i got that now, but i live in sweden and before all of this i tried the swedish firmware version and it just says FAIL! in Odin.. im sure it would work out if i could get the firmware to reset the phone, which it does right? I guess i should fix me a battery since it seems i can't charge it properly. Any one who could explain it more detailed? It would help me alot.
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.

I found this in Google. Don't know if this will help you or not, but about 3/4 of the way down on page 1 may help you.
didnt help, the phone reboots and stays off until i take out the usb cable/charger, except in download mode, weird
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27596-q-phone-shuts-down-when-connected-to-usb/
This sounds like your issue. Install CWM and flash a custom ROM.. if for whatever reason you want Froyo, then I recommend Bionix V with the Bali kernel.
Or you could shoot high and try Helly Bean
Anyways, flashing past Eclair seems to be the solution to your particular problem. I would assume most people don't notice it because they don't stay on Eclair for more than a few seconds.
Hope this helps.

try to flash bootloader (Only Stock/Froyo)

Hi everyone,
First, please excuse me for my bad english
So, I'm here because I have a really big problem with my Samsung I9100.
Indeed, I will explain my problem. I installed the SENTINEL ROM 5.00 a few month ago, and I never had a problem before.
But yesterday, I don't know why, I have so much problem with my Network, (My friends haven't the same problem and we have the same operator, it's Orange)
So, I don't understood why I had this kind of problem. After a few minutes, my GS 2 shut down...
I tried to boot but It had no effect !! I fall in a reboot loop, whith no home screen.
After a panic I try so much solution :
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, reboot. Same problem ! Sometimes, I can access to the menu, but a few minute after, it shut down again.
I tried to restore an official firmware, no effect, He can't load, he is blocked with "Samsung animation boot".
I tried to restore with a ROM (Rootbox 3.91), no effect too, I can access temporary to my message, and after a few minutes, he shut down !
Sometimes, I just click in the home button (The only button), and it shut down !
I observed now, it can't book if I don't connect it to the alimentation's cable.
Really, I'm so lost, I understand nothing. Especially, I didn't do something special to make this...
If someone can help me...
Thanks !

Thanks, I will try this, but my sometimes, my USB port of my I9100 has so much problem with the connexion.
Could you give me a link for a stock rom please ?
Thanks mate.
It sounds like you would get into recovery-mode?
Do you have an ClockworkModRecovery?
Can you make a nandorid backup with the recovery?
Do you have an older Recovery you could restore without too much data-loss?
Is the battery ok? Can you start your Phone if you connect it with the charger? If yes I would recommand to backup as many iportant data as possible.
I'm running sentinelRom 5.0 too and I have no problems.

I had no problem with SentinelRom 5.0 since few month, but yesterday I don't know why, I have so much problem in the same time.
I can access to the recovery mod, and I restore my back up since the recovery mode. I tried to restore 3 differents ROM.
I don't know if the battery is OK cause in the screen, I have 100% but when I disconnect the alimentation's cable. It shut down ! And I can boot but after the first boot animation, It shut down !
I don't care about my data really, it's nice but I just wanna recover my phone with all his fonctionnality !
I alrealdy make a backup !
I am very lost cause I don't know why it do that :/
Can you start the phone withe the cable plugged in but without the battery?
Couse if you can, it is the Battery. I had such a Problem with a Laptop once. The Battery was broken and it rebootet after a few seconds or minutes. I tried everything, to recover it and then I took out the Battery and it run perfectly well.

Hello everyone,
Friend gave me GT-S7560GSMH to change rom in his telephone. I changed to CM11 4.4.1 but it was problem with camera it was taking pictures 90 degrees angle. Then I decided to try to flash other rom. But I try first change the recovery since there was some problems with recovery. So change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else. I flash through CWM some recovery zip file and after that the telephone became completely dead. No any signs of life at all. Trying buttons for download mode and recovery mode, removing and put battery back, nothing at all, no signs of any life. Please tell me there is any way to resurrect the phone? To bring back to life? It is not my phone. I wish I could give back living phone not a dead phone. Hope to hear any help from you. Thank you,

Hi
That's not your phone but you "change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else" and you flash "some recovery zip file". I'm not surprised to see a dead phone at the end...
Anyways try to flash a stock firmware through Odin. Download the firmware from Sammobile or Samsung-updates. :fingers-crossed:

Remove the battery then hold the buttons for the download mode and put the battery back. It could work... Try to flash even if there's no sign. You have nothing to lose...
Can you test if battery has gone dead......
Charge it somehow and do the above steps
