Phone malfunction - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

My phone suddenly started turning off by itself. Also, I noticed that the power button has no effect when the phone is on. I THINK it works to turn it on, but pressing it has no effect after (i.e. won't lock, etc). Then it shuts off again in less than 30 seconds. I tried wiping everything as quickly as possible, and that still didn't work. I can't even reset it back to stock because the phone won't stay on long enough. Is my phone a goner? (i.e. hardware malfunction)?
I'm on Jivy's ICScrewed 2.1. Haven't done any major changes asides from testing out the latest ICS and Jelly bean ROMS. (aokp and CM 9.1). I didn't like them so I wiped and restored. This was last night. My phone was fine until a couple minutes ago where I realized I wasn't getting texts and it was turned off. :/

Can you get into download mode/recovery?

you can still go into download mode by removing battery plug-in USB to ur phone and PC holding down vol up+vol dwn and insert battery.once u get into download mode install stock GB ROM 2.3.4(u can get it from creepycrawler posts).once ur stock check if the power button is working or not.if its not working yes your power button has hardware problem which can be fixed from your local samsung service center if you have warranty.if u dont have it will cost you 10$ to get it fixed.i had the same problem with my i777 with no warranty.

Turns off still. Whether I'm in recovery or download mode, the phone shuts off. Not sufficient time to revert.

Keep in mind if you send it in for warranty replacement because you can't get it working and they fix it or see you're on a custom ROM they're going to bill you. However, people tell me that's rare and that usually they wipe it anyway. Just a heads up.

The phone turns off even in Recovery or Download mode? Sounds like either a hardware problem, kernel problem, or maybe even a battery problem. Maybe you should try to flash a different kernel, that would only take a few seconds. But be careful, if the phone turns of during a kernel flash that might be dangerous.

Try to enter download mode with the battery out. Leave the battery out and hold vol down while plugging in the usb cable. See if it will go into download mode and not turn off. If so, it will be safer to flash from there.

It was a hardware issue. Got it back to stock and I got a new refurbished phone. I can finally love my phone again since this one doesn't have the horrid reminders of that one awful drop.

What? How is this possible without a battery? I don't understand. I have the same issue. Phone keeps turning off after a 10 maybe 15 seconds.

[Q] Secondary Download Mode? Whats the deal? *PIC

Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.

heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.

Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.

I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again..
I tried that with no luck lol

This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.

Can't turn it on

Hi guys,
three days ago I installed Darkyrom HD on my mates Galaxy S2, everything went smooth. But 10 minutes ago he called and said that the phone woudn't turn on!
He says he can't get response out of it. No recovery or hard reset with nor without battery in.
Don't hope it's perma bricked and it seems weird that it suddenly wont turn on.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks a lot.
At the same time press volume up + home button + power on to enter CWM.
Is his battery charged?

Does it get a response if holding down the power button for 8-10 sec? This will essentially reboot the phone regardless of what state it is in. If your buddy's been hit with the "sleep of death", this will boot the phone. Though I think this is a low probability if he tried pulling battery and putting it back.
Does it get a response if plugging it into the AC adapter? On the off chance the battery is completely dead. I'd like to think he tried this, though.
Has he tried another battery? Could be the battery lost the ability to hold a charge. Not common, but not unheard of either.
Doesn't seem to help. But I've told to let it charge the night and try again.
Any particular this happens? Seems random that it suddenly wont turn on.

Any particular reason? Sure. Most often, because the user installs something or flashes something they are not supposed to, to their phone. Or dropped it in water.

I wasn't trying to say YOU installed or flashed something. Maybe he did. Can I assume the phone was working when you gave it back to him? And that it was working fine for the three days after? Or was the phone in YOUR possession until he called you today?
I haven't had phone since i installed it. But I honestly don't think i he flashed anything.
He went out to jog - phone worked (listening to music)
He came home and placed the phone on the table - Phone worked
He did some exercises and when he came back - phone all black, can't get any response

You said he tried a battery pull? And no response after replacing battery?
Sure his battery is just not dead, bit odd if it had been working and suddenly this happens.
Most cases an app or something can cause the phone to restart, or freezes, usually a hard reset solves this by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Or entering recovery mode, or download mode just to ensure they are working.
Make sure he can charge the battery.
If all fails you may need to try a jig.

It wasn't the battery. But we've found someone that can repair it for 25 pounds + shipping. So if the USB jig doesn't work, it's going to them!

Hard Brick SII

My SII just died over the weekend. I was installing the latest JB AOKP and it was rebooting or freezing up randomly when it eventually just decided to not come back up.
I have tried several of the suggestions to try to at least get it into download mode but nothing happens. I have plugged it in and it warms up, seeming to be charging, but the computer does not see it.
I am debating trying this:

While plugged in, if it heats up closer to the camera than the battery portion of the phone, it's possibly a hard brick.
What I tried from Samsung and ATT tech support before I sent it in for warranty repair:
1. Hold power button down for over 30 s to see if it reboots, or
2. Hold power button + vol up + vol down for 30 s till it reboots, or
3. Hold power button + vol down for 30 s till it reboots, or
4. Remove the battery for 2 min, hold down power button + vol up + vol down buttons, and then put in the battery, or
5. Remove the battery for 2 min, and try step 2, or
6. Remove the battery and try step 2.
Good luck :good:
PS: No questions were asked about rooting/flashing ROMs to me from Samsung before they repaired my phone in warranty. YMMV.

What is the point of doing this? what would it prove?
1. normal procedure for a BSOD reboot. phone stuck on black screen while on.
2. if off and doing that, will bring recovery mode.
3. nothing
4. minus the power button it should bring you to download mode.
5.pointless
6. pointless.
At&t tech support are retards. They have a list of stuff to do that most of the time does absolutely nothing. Like if your USB port is toast they might have you do a factory reset, which will not do a damn thing.

Well, trying to get OP into download/recovery mode was the point of this thread...
To many techie users at XDA, techs may appear retarded. However, techs have to assume the users who call in don't know much about their phones...hence their boilerplate suggestions.

The point is that the phone is NOT powering on so the suggestions are to try and get it to turn on and go into download mode at best, at worst get it to turn on and go into ADB. I know the difference between a black screen with phone on on (ADB will work in that case, PC will recognize the device connected) and the phone completely dead.

[Q] galaxy s2 won't come or charge

i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

Those are the signs of a hardbrick. Were you on a safe kernel before flashing AOKP? If not, then you might have triggered the eMMC brickbug and hardbricked you phone.

Share your problem with dorimanx on his forum.... Tell him all the truth... He is available only on his kernel thread..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No it might be battery(Motherboard) bug. I had it twice, the motherboard had a issue and it ate battery like mad. It takes all the juice out of the battery (even when off) and renders the battery useless after that it can no longer boot even with charger plugged in. Only way is to give it to samsung for a motherboard replacement
dont know if the kernel causing the hardbrick or not.....been using dorimanx for a long time, so far no prob.
anyway, already sent my i9100 for warranty claim, the technician said they might need to change the mobo.....sounds good or worse?
Could just be what u said above
