Hey guys, so I've had the S2 for a while and one day it shut off on me and started vibrating. After I pulled the battery, it never turned on again. It doesn't charge. Last night I decided to screw around with it again and pulled the battery out several times, put it back in and the only thing I could get the phone to do was have the camera flash randomly flash for some reason, while the phone was still off! Can someone give me some advice or help so maybe I can save this phone? Thank you.
Pull out battery again pu**** inside...
Hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button
And tell me if you are able to get into download mode.
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

T-Mobile USA? If yes, that is a different model phone than this forum is for. T-Mobile in the States has model SGH-T989. The forum for that model is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

is there any sign of life in your phone.
Does it light up at all?
If your phone doesn't light up at all, then it's hard brick

Hi Guys,
Before i start i'm a complete newbie to this forum! Dont know anything, so go easy on me!!
i sent my galaxy s2 back to samsung under warranty after i lost my network coverage.
They sent it back stating that it had lost the imei and baseband due to excessive use or water damage? out with warranty!! neither as it was only 2 months old!!
So i sent it to a repair company, same result they couldnt fix. They did offer to dispose of it for me as they said it was totally dead, turns out after i demanded it back that i can still use it for wifi etc.
can it be fixed or have i just got a nice screen?

So you can`t turn it on? Is it completely dead? No download mode, no nothing?
If it`s dead, how did it died? Had you phone contact with water?

I have had a similar problem on a Nokia phone. What I did was switched it off, charged it(from a company charger) , kept it off for some time with battery removed and later turned it on, and presto everything normal.
I don't know what could have caused it or your problem, but if you could give more info like whether you did something like installing an app or something we could recommend things like a factory reset from the recovery menu, or a cache/dalvik wipe and a reboot (which I would recommend to make sure it ain't software related)

I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
idk

Remove the battery and switch it on after a couple of hours, and test whether your battery is working fine with an other phone.
After which if the problem still persist :
Try to turn it on in recovery or download mode.... If it again persist its time to send it for repair. If you can access download mode flash a rom and it might correct the problem.

I had a very similar with my Motorola Gleam which I solved by reinstalling the Motorola drivers, why don't you try that.
Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
The Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket are two completely different phones. This is the forum for the Galaxy S2. Go ask this question in the forum for the Skyrocket.

Haven't seen one of the slow rockets in here in a while. Good to know they're still around
Hello there, i have Galaxy s2 as specified in the title, before installing any costume ROM the phone was alright but after i installed Darky Rom the phone started to be a little buggy, so i went and i followed few simple steps on how to bring back s2 on stock firmware, problem was that it never got rid of those little bugs, from time to time, it freezes, the proximity sensor doesn't work, i answer calls and BAMM it doesn't work, it gets stuck phone is still ringing but can't do nothing, even if i do a wipe on it wouldn't help because i did it few times and it just wouldn't work as it should.. anyone has any idea why does it act like that? the phone is still new...
Symptoms when stuck:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Works laggy
when press on unlock button "power key" screen is black can't see its unlock screen wallpaper
it over heats.

waiting for anyone who has an idea how to solve this one i don't want to buy another galaxy s2 !
using 2.3.5 stock firmware
