Galaxy S II not starting up properly - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Something is wrong with my phone lately. My phone is freezing, and hanging up. When I take the battery off, and put it back again. My phone shows the battery icon which is charging, or re looping all the time.
What is going on??
Hope someone could help me!
Thanks!

is the pin charger issue. been trhough that! take it to samsung service

Seriously?? My warranty is gone now, so it's not possible for me to solve this.
Anyhow, I managed to flash a new rom which is XXLPQ5, and after that I took a hard factory reset on the phone. Now my phone doesn't start up at all!
What the hell is the problem???

I will check the pin out! Thanks!
I just recently flashed a new Samsung XXLQ5 rom, stock. After that, I used the hard factory reset, so yeah... the phone is not turning on.
No idea what's going on.

Hey
Did u wipe in recovery? If so u may have unfortunately hard bricked ur phone, there are issues with the LQ5 kernel. Have a search round to read about it.

Galaxy S III Not responding

Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.

S 2 is dead! anyone can help?

i am using resurrection remix 3.0.6 with siyah kernal 4.1.5. i believe rr 3.0.6 is still not stable due to sudden lag spike. it happen so suddenly, my screen just freeze. so i make the option to pull out the battery and re-insert the battery to reboot the phone.
then it happen, it doesn't seems to be able to boot up my primary rom which is the RR 3.0.6, i try to boot up secondary rom, which happen to be the same RR 3.0.6, but nothing, the phone auto shut down. i still can go into recovery mode using 3 button combo, then i try to wipe cache, but still the same, not able to boot up RR 3.0.6.
i am very frustrated already, i choose to reinstall the ROM by doing a factory wipe/data wipe, but the data wipe thing just stay there for very long... the worst thing happen. i pull out my battery again. this is when all hell break lose... i can't on my phone, can't do 3 button combo, usb jig no use. simply nothing, like a dead fish.
however, i realise my phone started to heat up around the camera area with the battery in it... that mean a sign of life? anyone face this problem and manage to revive the phone without sending to jtag?...
This is why i am afraid of rooting GS2. GS1 was soo easy...
its not the rooting process that break my phone, its the ROM. rooting doesn't give me trouble, just 2 min using zergrush.
my phone can do nothing but heat up when the battery is put in...
Aha.. zergrush? You suggest me to not flash this rom?
Somebody know how to help this guy?
Answer
Well same kind a thing happen for me little different but yeahhh almost the same. Apparently I burn up my motherboard, that might be the warm up around your camera. Anyway still to early to say something but my suggestion is before you do anything take it to the Samsung customer service, if they can bring your phone alive then you can do it as well, but if they come up with no then you have no choice but to order new motherboard.
Hope it helps..
thanks for your suggestion... sounds like doom day... how much is the motherboard cost?
Well I just received mine today. I find a guy on ebay and you sell your bricked motherboard for 50$ bucks and you can get yours for 130$ bucks.
I install it today and works perfectly fine. But again just check with the Samsung Service then do what you need to do.

I have the same problem guys...
Last night my phone gone dead..
It is still in warranty..
Is there any chance from the service to deny the warranty?
(maybe they can see if it was rooted etc..?)
I'm so so sad.....

[Q] wifi on rooted phone crashing lock screen.

hey guys this is my first thread seen as i cannot find any answers. in a nutshell, i have an s3 that is rooted purely to unlock it. im not too fussed as yet to get the fancy capabilitys in full throttle on a rooted device until i solve one problem.. just hear me out. if you need specifics on my phones firmware ect ask away and ill do my best. but all i can say is this..
i have had a galaxy s3 for a week now. the first thing i did was root it as it was locked. as far as i know i did it right, since it did unlock it and add the supersu icon and CWM icon. as for now i dont want to start messing with stuff like that until i know what im doing. and honestly i only just managed to root the thing after failing the first time. so my real problem so far is something i have heard of with no solution. the wifi and lock screen crash. ive sussed out that for every time i leave the house and go to work (that doesnt have wifi) and my wifi is left switched on, my lockscreen just will not let me in my phone with out me taking the battery out and turning the wifi off manually.
i need help. big help. i need to know waht im doing and doing wrong. i need a fix. a custom firmware a custom rom. what ever it is. i would be so greatful not to have this bug. and ill be honest. it took me 2 days to work it out. i work 9 hours a day and taking my battery 10 times and hour.. yeah.. please help me guys id be so appreciative of it.
thanks. danny.
As a last resort you could try a factory reset. You will lose all your data though and have to set things up from scratch.
Before going to that extreme you could enter recovery, then clear cache, then go to advanced settings and clear dalvik cache plus fix permissions. These are cure all solutions but they may help.

I had this problem and it is down to the method you use time root.
If you use the toolkit method it will cause this problem
but if you use CF-root to unlock your s3 you will have no problems at all.
You can find CF-root with a simple search hope this helps

Thanks guys I'll give these a go when I'm able to after work. I have infact done a factory reset that didn't undo the root. I'll post back on either success (hopefully) or if my problem persists. I really appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance. Danny.
Good luck.
As your problem appears to be caused by leaving WiFi on you might try this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801284
I've been using it since early beta release. It can switch WiFi off when your screen is off. Obviously it will not cure your problem but it might be a work around.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
hey guys. i gave them both a try. i cleared my caches. i even fully unrooted my phone. did a reset. and installed the root the CF-root package.
but still. im having the same problem. i really am new to this. and i just dont know what to do. all i need the root for is to keep my phone unlocked. i dont care for any fancy thing you can do once rooted. i think im just going to wait till a new software comes out that can be rooted.
hopefully it will have fixed the bug or something. really appreciate the advice you guys have given me. thank you a lot.
i guess until then ill have to remember to turn my wifi off before i go out :/
thanks. danny.
Unroot by flashing your original or a stock rom and test is the only way forward .

I think you have a problem with your charger port (please do correct me if i'm wrong.). It did happened to me but after a month It just wore off. I mean, it's suddenly fixed by itself.

Please don't underestimate your problem dude.
I am facing the same problem now,
But my situation is worse. I suggest
you immideatly reset your counter,
remove the triangle, unroot your phone by flashing the original firmware and send it to service for repair.
Think about it, after some weeks, if you let it like this you will want to send it to repair but you can't connect it to odin on PC because of damaged usb-port. So they will know that you have been rooted and you will lose you warranty.
That is the problem I am facing now....

I think not. When I was using Litening Rom, I've experienced this. But I when changed to RR, it also gave me the blinking image of the battery percentage. And then one day, it magically vanished like it was fixed. Try using other USB cable. I tried using my moms' and I never saw it again.
hi, thks for replying me , appreciate tht a lot, well, when the battery was charging by it self , i went to cwm and made wipe battery state, and it was gone, ! 2 days and nothing happend, ouuf! hope it will never happen to me or others! see u guysssssssssssssssss

[Q] Help! New Galaxy S Advance Bricked After ODIN Upgrade!

Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.
