[Solved by itself] Weird bug, can't boot !! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, sorry for my bad english !
Something weird just happened !
I installed this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704387 and was trying it. As I often do with many others.
Then I pressed the back button, and my phone didn't stop vibrating and froze. So I unpluged the battery cable, and the battery itself so I could shut it down. The phone was getting hot so I did this quite quickly.
Now I just can't turn it on. Nothing happens. I just have a battery icon when I plug the battery cable. But it doens't seem to be able to load the battery amout, and it shut it down by itself.
I mean that you can see it trying to load the battery, fail, and try again.
What is happening ? Is my phone bricked just because of this ? For no real reason ? Maybe it's due to a bad kernel ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

So have you attempted to put phone into download mode or not??
Attempted to re-flash kernel??
Have you read other threads regarding phones not booting??

a) I can't boot in download mode nor recovery, nothing happens.
b) How can I flash a kernel if I can't boot ?
c) Yes I have, I havn't find a similar case.

Ow, quick news. I waited 30 minutes.
Now when I pluged it again, it finally was able to load the battery state.
I can boot...
This MIUI version freaks me out !! I won't try to boot on it ever again ...
What caused this bug ? I seriously think I was loosing my phone ... I'm on DorimanX Kernel.
I'll flash something quickly, not to lose it again.

dead x10i

my x10 die suddenly, there was 94% battery left, not plugged out long, few hrs later notice phone was off,and it will not power on again, press power to try to turn it on all it does is vibrate and that's it.
tried to flash stock 2.1 back on but not sure if it did anything, took over night or flash tool to finish, still no boot after that, press power and it vibrates that's all, sometimes it doesn't even vibrate, battery is good, works fine in another x10, put a fully charge battery in it and same result.
anyone know what happened to it?
was running eternity 3a rooted with DT.
I'm going to have to send that in for warranty, hope they won't find anything on it and void the warranty.
Was the phone quite hot at the time or heating up when trying to boot?
Remove the battery for a minute or so and try flashing with SEUS.... Check if battery is hot

That usually does the trick. Unplug battery for 1 minute, reinsert it and try again.
That heating problem is present in X8 too... While tethering is enabled phone gets very hot and if you don't act phone will freeze...
do you have a SD card inside. Might be a bad SD card try taking it out and booting it. Happened to me before.

Hi, just wanted to jump in and ask a few questions about this situation.
Do you always experience this issue? How long before it freezes? What "act" are you doing to prevent freezing? Does the phone work normally afterwards?
Hope you can help me out with some answers, I want to look into this.
instead of starting a new thread,i'll post here..
i have this restart problem..
Before this i try to fix my friend X10.. after many tries and a month acctually,i give up..
Now one more of my friend gave me another X10 which have the same problem..
Problem:
The phone will boot but after several minutes it will auto shut down and when i try to power up no vibrate and stuck at black screen.
when i pull the battery out and on again it vibrate and boot.just after boot animation it will shut down again..
Solution that i have tried so far:
Update with SEUS.
Send to profesional phone service to downgrade to 1.6.
Upgrade/flash with flash tool with GENERIC
Upgrade/flash with flash tool with X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch
Wipe user data in flash tool & x recovery
after several tries i got it work and i root and install x recovery.
Flash from xrecovery with custom rom Eternity.build003a.signed
format memory card.
Change battery.
All the solution i've tried doesn't make the problem dissappear.
anyone have ideas or solution?

[Q] Freeze at start up

Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 with Cyagenmod 6 (gingerbread 2.3.3) but it's broken. It won't boot any more. Some days ago it just went out, and it won't start up again. The phone behaves as if it freezes the moment android should load. Like if your computer would freeze in bios, unable to load your operating system.
I'm also not able to repair it with SEUS because although it recognizes the phone, it can't reset because the phone freezes just before the stage in witch it can reset.
I am kind of a noob with these things and therefore hope one of you guys could help me out. I'm not really looking foreward te buying a new phone already
Thanks!
Freekh
kinda same problem..
i'm removing battery, put back and after holding power the phone shows green led for short time and vibrates for a sec and that's.
add:
i've flashed it before the problem occurs.. flashed, phone booted up, everything normal.. put on usb for charging, changed language and time when it suddenly freezed
This is what happened to mine what country u in
sent with a geordie kiss using wb 2.3.3
what do you mean with "country"?

it doesnt seem to be a connection-problem (no usb unplug sounds).
it seems that the phone is in a state, where bootup is not possible
But the phone is not required to boot during flashing. Did you try changing the USB slot on your PC? The one you're connecting your phone to? Try another slot. Sometimes that works too.

same result. can't flash
Me too. Can't flash with Flashtool (latest version), even without moving my phone. It starts flashing, but the progress bar shows of no progress. After a while it just says Error - Abort Flashing. I tried all of my USB port, but nothing changes.
after doing and trying my battery got completely drained (red led blinking) so i left it on the wallcharger for ~1day..
then at sometime it managed to boot up itself.. i left it for charging till 100%
after that i did a few "wipe battery stats" in xrecovery and now it seems to work stable again..
is it possible that messed up battery stats could cause the problem?
Wow, that would be nice.
A question! Was the little led on while charging? Because when I put my phone in the loader, it turns green (as if the battery is completely empty) and after a while it just goes off (when it would normally turn red). Do you have that to?
Putting my phone in the loader now, and waiting till tomorrow! Hope this helps!
yea, i've noticed this with my phone too..
strange led behavior..try to plug the charger first (green led turns on, cant say whether its charging or doing anything else) and then put in the battery and wait
maybe you're lucky and the phone will boot
and report pls
I didn't work. I've put my phone in the loader for over 24 hours, but nothing happened.
But my phone wasn't completely drained. Perhaps that is a condition to make this work. The only question is, how do I drain my battery when I can't turn on my phone?
i have used an 5watt light bulb ^^
connected on + and - and then waited till light goes out
Wel, I connected a little lamp and waited until it went out. Then when I put my battery in my phone and pressed the ON button nothing happend, not even the green light flashing shortly.
When I put my phone in the loader the LED started flashing red. And that whent on for a while until it stoped, and the LED did nothing. Then I waited over 24 hours, but nothing has happend.
When I put my phone in the loader now, it's just like before, the green light burns a little while, then nothing..
it happened to me again.. freeze and then no boot.
but i think i know whats wrong. for my phone i can say, that the battery is ok and the rom/os aswell.
its hardware problem. something is screwed up inside the phone.
when i press the phone at randomly places and hold it + then pushing on-button it boots up
i will open it tomorrow

[Q] Stuck at boot screen at first and now it isn't charging..

I got some problems with my gt i9100.. So i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4 on my phone and then everything went wrong.. I tried everything there is but the only thing I can flash is kernels.. When I try to flash a firmware or a rom odin fails (Can't seem to write on NAND). Also I can't access recovery.. I just get the samsung logo with the triangle below. And now after 2 days of constant trying different methods im low on battery and can't access download mode and if I plug in the charger it keeps flashing an empty battery with a circle in it with a 1 min interval.. Can someone please provide me with some advice?
What exactly did you do? Or you really screwed up which is almost impossible or you just have had bad luck.
Did you try pulling the battery out, pressing the on button for a few seconds and then putting your battery back in? Sometimes it helps when you have charging problems.
So try and give us more information about everything that you did.

Tried that with the battery but it didn't help.. Ever since I flashed the kernel it wouldn't charge.. Jje there's nothing on this thread that could help me with the charging problem and besides that I can't access recovery and can't seem to find villain 1.1 anywhere..

[Help] Bricked Xperia X10 I mean Really Bricked

Hey guys i've a problem with my x10
So one night i was playing with it than the other day the phone would start
so i thought yeah right might be the battery or something. i took it to my friends x10 it was with 87% charged so i exclude this
Than i tried to flash with flashtool a new kernel and i get stuck at 9% or 15% depending on the kernel i use.
With SEUS it starts to repair but it says. No new updates avaiable after a few moments.
Some information regarding my phone
Unlocked Bootloader
FXP KERNEL
MM TEAM MIUI V4
The phone vibrate but doesn't start or load the kernel.
What do i do?!
Srry for my bad english
Thx in advance
Usrle flashtool to reflash kernel or firmware.
already did but i get stuck at 9% or 15% flashing the kernel
I'm downloading a full generic rom x10a
having similar problem
Hi, I had similar problem as well
X10i running FXP CM7 suddenly just wont boot n charge after I turn off the phone
it wont boot after flashing anything (firm or kernel) except the official firm
now that I end up with a cap R bootloader but flashtool claim that bootloader is rooted
do I still keep the bootloader unlock?
i guess you have a locked bootloader since the original firmware is loading just fine even tho rooting has nothing to do with the bootloader it self. i'm only guessing.
I'm stuck at. Flashing Loader
I bricked my phone last week and it got stuck in a boot loop.
I downloaded the x10a generic Stock ROM and flashed it via Flashtool and it worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.

But that way you weren't at a brick point.
You get brick when u get those 3 blink red LED and the phone doesn't do anything
By the fact that your phone were able to load the kernel. i guess
same problem repeat
Hi, just confirm that the bootloader remain unlock as long as the flashtool claim its ROOTED
had you try other than official 2.3.3 ftf?
because I just got the same unable to boot problem repeated again
this time cant get boot on even stock 2.3.3 firm
but I was able to boot up and charge on 2.1, then get root, recovery and kernel (w/o unlock bootloader again) and go straight to custom ROM with no problem

Anyone?
guys?
you said your phone is "bricked"
I'm not sure if you know what that means.
If you say you've bricked your phone then no one can help you.
A brick is a brick. It doesn't matter if it weighs a few kgs or a few hundred grams. A brick can't receive phone calls.
And your phone isn't even a normal brick... You wrote that it's "really bricked"
Are you building a house anytime soon?

The red led blinking rapidly three times means the battery is "out of juice".
I've said it earlier: Several X10 devices have reached an age, where battery failures are fairly common due to charge cycles and/or age. Specially if one got it just after the launch.
Anyhow, what you can do, is let the device charge "blindly" for a while, and a while I mean for half an hour to a few hours. Then it should, out of the blue, jump into "active" charging (With the battery screen showing offline charging)
If this doesn't happen you might have to charge the battery externally.
...or even replace the battery.
-"Why?", one might ask.
Reason is that the flash mode only works with a charged battery.
If it empty, it won't engage the flash mode at all. Stupid design, yes, but that is how it is.
Worst thing is, that the battery does deplete/discharge while in flashing mode. That is why it's so important it's fully charged and fully working, before one engages in flashing activities.

Well, if the battery issue was fixed, and you're sure the battery is fully charged, then try this: (Quoting from my other post)
I've charged/replaced the battery, and are having trouble with starting up. Earlier flash failed. Now what?
Don't worry. It's pretty darn hard to truly brick this device. Even if the screen remains black, there's still hope.
Once that the battery issue has been dealt with, you can move on:
Download the latest Flashtool and the proper global firmware (FTF-file) for your device from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=flashtool
1: Extract/Install the Flashtool to a folder of your liking.
2: Copy the ftf-file to the "firmware" folder in the Flashtool folder you just created above.
3: Start Flashtool. Click the Bolt icon (flash). A Window appear. There, choose "flashmode". Cllick OK.
4: A new window appears. In the list on the left, choose the Generic firmware you downloaded and copied into the "firmware" folder. Should have a similar name as the file itself. (Or manually open the ftf-file from the "..." icon on the top right.)
5: Hit "OK. Follow the instructions you get on the screen:
1 - Unplug the device.
2 - Power off the device. (Unplug and replug the battery to be sure it really off, and not stuck in black screen)
3 - Press the "back" putton, and hold it down while performing the next task.
4 - Plug the device into the computers USB.

I9100 reboot loop, problem whith network, it is a brick ?

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 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.

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.
