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.

May be many S2 devices have this problem. And I had too. It 's often hardware related problem. After reparing it 's ok. But firstly, try to clean charging port, if it does not resolve, bring it to service care.

Power the phone off completely. Pull the battery. Put the battery back in after about 30 seconds. Hold down both volume buttons while also plugging in the USB cable. Keep the vol buttons held down until you see the d/l screen come up. Let go of the buttons and then click vol up once to proceed to d/l mode.

Sorry I guess I missed that part. Thought it was stuck at the AT&T screen. Try leaving the battery out for a good ten minutes or so and then seeing if it responds by plugging in the charger.

What was the battery level like when the phone last turned on? If you can't get it to power up at all, there's only so much you can try. I'd try plugging it into a different outlet as well as maybe the computer and see if you can get any response from it.
When you have the battery in and press and hold power, do you see the softkeys briefly blink like they normally do when turning the phone on? It's possible that the battery is somehow the problem but I guess it could be the phone too. Would love some other input from other people cause I'm at a loss on what else to try.

It was at 30% I think the battery is discharged but I don´t know how to recharged.
When I press and hold power or vol up and down the softkeys don´t blink.
Yes I know I need more people to give solutions but thank you very much Kadin.
Well if you think it's fully discharged, leave it plugged into the wall for a while. It's possible that it dipped down below the point where it normally shuts off (around 5%) and may need a good long charge to get it back alive. I'd attempt that if you haven't already.

So - it got to the AT&T logo - tell us EXACTLY what you did after that.
It might help too if you explain what it was you did to the phone to try to get back to att stock.
Include the filenames used, and if you Odined, where you used them.

There is a very good chance that if you charge the phone with wall charger
to be sure the battery is not dead and then use a JIG which will get it into
download mode you will be able to reflash the stock rom.
You can buy a JIG for less than $2 bucks including shipping on eBay.
Be sure that when you do get it into download mode to re-download
the stock rom just to be sure that the rom file is not corrupted.
Good luck!

The way you phrased your description above make it sound like you flashed a .7z file in Odin3. If you tried to do that, it wouldn't work, or course. The file you named, I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.7z contains an executable file that is an Odin one-click downloader. You have to extract the file from the 7 zip archive first, then run the file in windows, then connect your phone to the pc. Maybe that's what you did but your description is confusing?

This happened on my captivate based on what I have read your phone is hard bricked and is basically a large paper weight now. But don't take my word for it I sold my cappy on Ebay when I hard bricked it and about a month later there was a fix for it with a jtag goodluck

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.

If not you will need to reflash to stock rom as warranty void with root or custom rom ..

I feel like an idiot..... installed the wrong ROM on my Galaxy S2-UK
I installed CheckROM V5 and found out it was actually for the Galaxy Note before it was too late, it installed fine from holding power button, home button and volume up, then going to install Zip from folder and rebooted. When it rebooted my Galaxy S2 logo came up and then the screens pixels all turn white one by one. I tried to do the power button,home button and volume button to go in and uninstall it and the same thing happens, white screen,
I can't even get odin to recognise the device is plugged into my laptop.
Have I ruined my Galaxy S2? is it fixable?

You can't go to download mode? (which is vol-down, home, and power; you didn't specify which volume button you tried)
You should probably invest a couple bucks into a USB jig to see if that can get you into download mode if not.
Yes I tried to go into download mode and it just goes all white bit by bit. Is a Jig my only option ?
ELmusiK said:

Maybe...
So even if it goes all white, I wonder if you can still actually enter download mode. After the phone boots when doing vol-down + home + power, while it is going all white, try hitting vol-up and plugging the phone into your USB cable on your computer. If Odin goes yellow in the ID:COM block, you should be good to go to try flashing back to stock.
If that doesn't work, try a jig.
Cool, I will try that thanks, the battery is dead so I will try it later, another point to add, i just plugged it in to charge it there and the icon for the battery came on, the screen refreshed itself and all the pixels slowly started turning white and black on the screen.

Flashing the Note ROM may have replaced the video drivers. I'm just guessing though. Get a stock firmware from Intratech's official firmware thread and have a go at flashing it back.
Things have taken an interesting turn, went to a shop in town today who were convinced they could fix it for me for €20 and I have been informed that my battery is damaged as they couldn't even hook it up to a universal charger,I did find a bulge on the back of it. i'm sure this explains nothing but I'm going to get a new one tomorrow and try everything you have said, thanks for your help and i'll post here again.

Battery gone after installing CheckRom for Note. I bought new battery , went into downlode mode and installed stock rom.
But Why CheckRom Note is not checking if the device is actually Note or not? is it so difficult to implement.
You're kidding right ? You actually expect devs to put "safeguards" in their roms/kernels in case idiots flash firmware for a completely different phone onto their own ?
That really does speak volumes

I agree. Flashing your phone is serious business. You wouldn't just download any old random operating system and install it on your computer without making sure it was intended to go on your computer first, would you? Why would you essentially do the same thing on your phone?
I rooted my phone, installed siyah kernel and then installed shostock 3 on my S2 last week. I did NOT use ROM Manager if that helps.
I had no problem with it for the past week and last night, it suddenly switched off. its completely dead, the display is off, doesn't go into recovery, nor the lights turn on.
All i can feel is the top part of the phone gets hot when i try to power it on.
Did anyone else face the same issue ? Please let me know if there are any solutions to this

no i didn't. It just happenned. The phone gets hot below the battery though..!
It would most likely be either a failed battery, or hardware failure. First try to find out if it is the battery: 1) clean the contacts on the battery and the phone 2) use a known good working battery.
Next can you get into download mode? First try the usual way, with the battery in, hold down both volume buttons, but not power and plug in USB. If that doesn't work, remove the battery and leave it out and repeat the above (usb will provide power). At this stage, you don't have to do anything with download mode, just see if it works.

Hi!
My Galaxy S2 suddenly died today and I have not been able to turn it on.
This has happened before, but it worked after switching battery, this time it didn't.
I have tried many things that people have suggested on Google, but I am not even able to get into recovery/download mode.
The phone was running NeatROM 4.4.4.

I checked my phone and saw that I received a message, put it in my pocket, took it up - wouldn't respond.
Could still use some help, thanks.
Try putting a new battery in that you are sure has some charge already in it .
Try booting into recovery/download mode .
If it doesn't still turn on it may be that your screen has died or mainboard is dead . Both of which require taking it for repairs as it is kinda like swap the part hit and miss kinda repairing. Still I guess if screen goes bad you should feel some vibration .
Plus it would be nice to know that your phone didn't go off of low battery . Since it can rule out very unlikely scenario that power button has failed or phone died of low battery and charger is refusing to charge the phone .
