hey dude try this.
1)Remove the battery from the phone.
2) hold the three button combo (VOL dwn + home + pwrbutton) simultaneously.
3) put the battery into phone while holding those buttons.
4) wait for a cpl of secs and see if the phone enters dwnld mode.
5) if dwnld mode shows up then u can use ODIN to flash back a stock ICS rom.
6) if not buy a cheap USB jig from Ebay and try.

Nothin and i buy usb jig and again nothing

then u should approach a nearest samsung service center if ur phone is still under warranty.
and just tell them that while updating on OTA the phone suddenly went blanck and wont turn on

The problem is i dont have warranty :S Can i try on jtag or just to trash my phone?

What can i do!!sorry for disturbing u!!cheers !!AND TODAY I BUY A USB JIG FOR THE SGS2 BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Use Odin to flash a new kernel (Clockwork Recovery for example) as PDA. This time do NOT unplug before its finished.
Remember to flash the kernel while you're in DOWNLOAD MODE: Vol down + Home + Power
Try to get into either recovery or download mode.
TURN PHONE OFF
VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER
IF IT WORKS, PLUG IN AND OPEN ODIN AND FLASH AGAIN
hope it works for you

So you mean your device is completely dead? No Download mode, no keys are working, right?
Have you tried to pull out the battery for some secs and put it back again?
Regards.
Yes try to remove battery and put back in, and if nothing works then you broke the phone, time to send it back (tell them you did samsung kies update and this happened)

If you have tried all the things suggested and the phone cannot switch on, then how do you think Samsung will switch it on?
Right now you have an expensive paper-weight. And to be honest, you deserve it. The instructions for flashing the ROM will have told you not to unplug the USB until the flashing process was finished and roughly how long the flashing time would take.
So you have nothing to loose returning it to Samsung saying that it happened updating their KIES.

[Q] Download Mode, But Volume Button is not responding

Hi guys,
I have rooted my gf's phone 2 months back using litening rom to gain root and CWM and subsequently flash it with CheckROM 4.
Phone is good for about a month or so until one fine day, when she restarts her phone, the phone goes into download mode.
Now, in the download mode, the button is not responding at all. either vol up or down. No respond. So i tried to go into recovery but the phone one, instead, that combination restarts the phone.
Now the phone cant get into recovery mode at all, by all means, tried CWM manager, tried Vol up + Power + home button
And when i go into download mode, the vol button gave me no respond, the vol button works perfectly during normal phone state.
Jigged it and vol button wont respond too. Tried factory reset the phone but all it did is reset the time and date.
Anybody can give me some pointer and or experiencing the same problem? My gf is upset, and if i cant solve it, i have to buy a new phone to her

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Wont turn on or charge!

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s2 that I bought off kijiji. It is white and was originally from bell. I unlocked it and the phone worked great for 2 weeks I could charge it pull the battery out and put my koodo sim card and it worked. One night I went to sleep and woke up and it was dead. So I went to go charge it and it didn't charge or want to turn on... So I went to go buy a new battery that was already fully charged and I put it in the phone and it worked, it turned on and everything worked. Then it died again as I was at school and it wont charge or turn on again! So I gave both batterys to a friend who has the same phone to charge and then I tryed it in my phone again and it wont turn on. I made a youtube video of my problem so this my explain it a little better also. Here is my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=184adlrU9eQ&list=UUGtRGDv9GcPPEZS3_oLB8UQ&index=1&feature=plcp

Can you get to download mode? Hold volume down home and power on button. If you can go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through Odin

Do you know if the phone is still on the guarantee? It most-likely is so you should bring it to Samsung ASAP and they will probably give you a refurbished one. The only problem is if you used a code to unlock the device, you'll pretty much lose it. Don't bring it to Bell, they won't give a damn because they're not your provider.

Bottom line is, if you haven't rooted the phone or run non-stock firmware on it, don't risk doing that now to try and fix it. If it borks, you'll end up voiding your warranty.
Send it into Samsung/an authorised repairer & have it repaired under warranty is my advice (contact Samsung in your country to get details of repairer).
Now, if you have rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware on it, and you can get into download mode then you can still fix it. If you can't get into download mode tho, there's no chance of you fixing it so don't even attempt to. Send it to a service centre & hope they don't notice you've been messing with it.
I cannot get into download mode.
No download mode, no recovery & phone won't boot = service centre/Samsung authorised repairer & hope they can't tell you used a bit of dodgy software to try & unlock the phone & borked it in the process.
I guess you could try a jig & see if that gets you into download mode as well.
This problem just happened to me... I did the soft reset mentioned in other forums and did not work... so I took the battery, sim card, and SD card out and put the battery cover back on, left alone for 1hour... tried soft reset again and worked.
Soft reset: Battery out, press ON button for 10 secs, put battery back on, turn on.
As I said yesterday I had problems turning on the phone and managed to turn it on by performing a soft reset... now the problem is that I usually turn it off every night and this morning it happened again, the phone won't turn on... did the same soft reset and there it went again but I am now scared of turning it off and never be able to turn it on again... Can someone suggest what the problem may be? would be a hardware problem? Or should it be a ROM/Kernel/Recovery problem?
Its hardware. I had this issue and it killed two batteries (mine drains battery and kills it, single use battery...) gave to Samsung and was fixed with motherboard and LCD change.
My Gf's Galaxy 2 wont torn on just keeps vibrating. Does like it going to turn on but it inmediately shut itself off. Please i need a solution!!
Sounds like a battery problem... get a new battery
It's not the battery

I have had same issue. I got a new battery and it still buzzes, doesn't charge and doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem.
i hope help
This happened to my phone and it really is a simple fix. First take the battery out of the phone for about 10 seconds. Then with the battery out plug the phone up, wait a few seconds, and put the battery in and immediately press power. Should be as good as new.
OR just plug in the phone when it's off and then power off

Same problem after having the phone on the shelf for a while
I guys..
Samsung Galaxy Sii GT9100-P
Not Rooted
Unlocked by using an unlock code (when adding an unrecognised sim) Was on Orange, unlocked it with a Voda sim in it.
upgraded the firmwareusing Samsung Kies last June.
then I got an S3 and put this on the shelf.
I have 3 Batteries for the S2 and charged them all with my desktop battery charger.
the phone will not power on if:-
Battery Out and on Cable with PC
Battery In connected to PC or Mains
Will not go into download mode
any battery charged and no cable.
I shelved this perfectly working and kept is as a "spare" phone.
now the time has come to use it.
anyone any ideas?
I know it is out of warranty, so I guess a chargeable fix will be required!
but I cant beleive a fully working S2 would due after being left on a shelf!
Thanks in Advance Guys!
Oh..
PC has been rebuilt since the Samsung Kies update, so I dont have the emergency or backup files to work with.
Cheers,

S3 Will not boot

My s3 will not boot. It shows no signs of power. Even when plugged in... Anyone have any ideas?
did this happen randomly? or did the phone completely Die? what were you doing?
these things are needed to help you out.
My Phone wont turn on is not enough info.
Sure, I loaded liquid jelly bean on the phone and installed gapps. Upon reboot it failed to turn on. I can't even get into recovery.

I9300 phone and flashed I9300 firmware .
No recovery then download mode and flash stock firmware .
No download mode USB Jig to try for download mode .
That fails its a JTag repair .
jje
Yes yes ^^^^in that order
Can you see the welcome screen or anything else? Or it's completely dead?
Pull the battery, wait for a few minutes, if you have a jig insert it in usb port of yor phone ( if you don`t volume down + menu + power buttons all at once). If you come in downloadmode flash a stock rom and after boot you can reroot.
If you don`t have a jig, order one from somewhere. You can not do without it.

You can try Usb Jig.
Or if odin recognizes the port by pressing (vol up+ vol down + power) even if nothing on screen, you may have a chance to flash stock firmware.
anf if all wont work, If in warranty, you may take it to service center, they probably wont understand that you have flahed wrong firmware.
thank you for you'r help

Yes it will cost a lot of money. Taking phone to a local gsm repair shop will be cheaper.
Did you try to connect with odin? As mentioned in previous post. Did you try to flash stock? Did odin recognize phone?
