[Q] i9100 won't turn on or charge, just black screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone....
i tried to flash a new rom on my i9100. But in flashing process, it stopped responding and after 15 min nothing happened. So I disconnected from computer and took out battery and tried to reboot my phone. But my phone is not turning on at all.... Even it can not charge, I mean when i plug it to charger, Nothing happens, not battery logo...Nothing
I tried to soft reset, taking out battery, waiting for 30 mins and then put it back. But its still the same, like a fully dead phone....
I even replaced my battery with a fully charged one but .....No response at all..
What can I do? my guarantee has expired and I couldn't find any way to recover it through internet.. can any one help me?
Thanks in advance.........

sounds like a hard brick,try a usb jig ,and maybe you can tell us what rom and kernel caused this?

I even tried USB JIG. No Response.
I flashed this Rom on another i-9100 before... There is nothing wrong with rom..... It's official Nordic countries Rom. I9100XWLPX

A "HLAP MY PHONE BROKD ..!!" thread again..!!!
Atleast can you please provide some basic info, such as which 9100- G or Non G, what firmware were you on, what were you trying to flash, proper cwm or temp cwm.
etc..

Hard bricked, won't power up, and usb jig don't work. Ideas?

Hey guys, picking up an s2 from bell Canada today. Plan is to sim unlock and throw a custom rom on it for the wife.
Any tips or tricks I should know?
We have a captivate so I'm familiar with odin. Is the flashing process close to the same? Cwm still reside in the kernel?
Also what rom would you guys recommend for daily use?
Thanks!

Everything is identical when it comes to flashing between the captivate and sgs2, since you're running aokp on the cappy try aokp on the sgs2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Awesome, thanks for the headsup.
So essentially the model I'm getting is the same as the i9100 correct? Make sure I follow the right forum :-D

This thread in Q&A is also a really good reference for CA SGS2 users.
That is correct.

well, my wife wants to try out the stock firmware first..."lol"
is the easiest way to update from 2.3.3 just to run kies? or is there a debloated rom that would be more reccomended?
Search for XWLPG, that is all. ;-)

well, she tried stock, she didnt like it. wants aokp back.
so to root stock ics i had a cwm.zip file on the sdcard that when i booted to stock recovery i could flash and then use cwm...
long story short...i tried to do a factory reset with cwm...and BRICK
no download mode, no recovery, no charging display, nothing.
i have tried a usb jig but no dice either..
am i SOL here boys?
You can't install unsigned zip's on a stock recovery, you should know that by now, you need to flash a modified kernel. Where did you get this cwm.zip file from?
it was in the thread i followed to root ICS,
i figured if it could flash SU it should be able to factory reset....guess i was wrong.
it was stock recovery but stock recovery would flash the cwm.zip, then reload recovery into cwm..figured it was safe to factory reset....
unless anyone has any ideas, im sure shes a paperweight...
What thread and which file was it?
Flashing a zip still shouldn't brick the phone, pull the battery and then put it back in and try the usb jig again.
I used this for root..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Worked great.. But I had the genius idea that I could use that cwm. Zip to factory reset... Then flash...
Pm me i can give you my gtalk. If you have any ideas.
I've tried my usb jig... But I'm unsure if it's good or not. I'll test it on my cappy...
Edit.... Im pretty sure it's supposed to work on the cappy as well... No dice.. Hmmm... How close does it have to be to 300kohms?
from my HTC One X using xda premium
ok verified my usb jig does now work on my cappy....but brings no life to the s2
should i try samsung warranty or the guys that can jtag??
or is there any last ditch efforts?
going to leave the battery out overnight...try again in the morning..and cross fingers.

What stock ROM did you have on it? LQ5?
I think you had one affected by the mmc bug, so it's a goner if that's the case

auto turn off when sim is inserted and battery drainig

i bought x10 mini in february 2012. after some days i rooted the phone. and after some days it starts auto turn off while sim is inserted. and sometimes it restarts automatically. when charger is connected, there is no problem, but when disconnected, it shuts down immediately. and sometimes it turns off while sim is not inserted but the "on time period" is about 2/3 hours. but when sim is inserted, it turns off immediately just aftrer switched on the phone. and there is a battery draining problem too. sometimes, as example, 90% charge becomes 23% after autorestart. i send it to sony ericsson service centre, but nothing has improved. and now i can see the phone is not rooted. please please please help me !

Did this problems exist BEFORE rooting your device?
If that so, you should contact your service center about this problems.
But don't hope for replacement coz ypu already voided their warranty by rooting your device

I think you done something in the rooting process. Try "re-rooting" it again and follow the instructions CAREFULLY, and maybe this will solve the problem.
Sent via LG P690 CyanogenMod 7.2 using XDA Premium
Whenever you update your firmware you loose root.
So they just updated your firmware so you lost your root...
Other thing first understand what is rooting..
As in our phone we are not able to access root directory of our device like drive C in computers..
So rooting is just like break that limitation so only rooting will not give birth to any problem
And only unrooting will not cure any problem...
Its like
Opening your home lock will not make your fridge to stop working and locking your home again will not cure your fridge..
So the problem may be a faulty peace of software,
Any malware
Uncompatible firmware
Wrong governers
Or any tweak you made..
Try to find out what you have screwed up with that device!
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
but how can i find that error ? can you please tell me any "test" or "check" to find the fault ? look, i'm very new to this android world, so can you help me by accurate and detail procedure ? please.. my phone is like a dead device now !

Okay there is no program that can "check" or "test" where the problem occurs with(just I'm saying, there is something wrong you did or wrong "procedures" you followed). All you gonna do now is state more details about the procedures you follow (i. e. where did you "get" the instruction, URL, etc.). /Where do you "think" you did something wrong (cause we cannot figure it out, it the procedure in solving a problem; knowing which is the problem to be solved and what caused that problem.)
Actually in my point of view here, your phone is not "bricked" cause it's still opening up, so we can still do something about it.

Look, why are you thinking about "root" "link" "procedure" "instrunctions" repeatedly. I have not done any procedure, i only rooted it and the instruction was from here, and that was appropriate insruction for x10 mini, and for your kind information, that was your previously recommended instruction too. But i think the problem is not that, even my device is not rooted, because the service centre guys updated the firmware.

No, I did not install anything.
And it is very bad for me, I can't do nothing against the problem. Now I notice that, when i start the camera, the device turns off !
Same problem
I'm facing the same problem. The phone switches off only when sim is inserted!
Could it be a hardware problem?? like Radio or battery! Please help!

Since then the phone has charged normally and hasn't had any problems. Will update in a few days. If ask is good then it must if been the operating system has errors.

I have problems flashing Roms I dont know what could be the reason. Couple days ago my SD card died I bought a new one I tried to flash the new version of Tweaked I forgot to made a back up and for some reason my phone will get stuck on the "Galaxy note 2" screen or return to the TWRP menu I tried to flash at least 5 different roms and same results the only one It was able to boot was Clean rom 3.1. I updated TWRP to the latest version and still having the same issues if any one can tell me what to do I will appreciate it

You do know first boots take a while right? You should wait up to or at least 10 minutes for the first boot of a rom.

I'm actually having a similar, if more limited, problem. I recently tried flashing P.A.C. rom onto my Note 2, but it would just hang on the galaxy note 2 screen. I left it for more than 10 minutes without change. However, after that I tried flashing Cyanogen; which worked just fine.
I'd greatly appreciate any tips on how to figure out what's going wrong.

And now it works.
So, I seem to actually have things working now and I figured I should give a quick update.
Before, I was using a nightly of P.A.C. rom, because I didn't see anything more stable at the time. Now I've switched to a milestone rom and it boots just fine. At this point, I think I'd pin the blame on a glitch the rom I was trying to flash; given the fact that Cyanogen and the current iteration work fine

Problem with Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M Wifi won't enable

Well to start of, I purchased a second hand Samsung Galaxy S4, I did check that everything was working and it was working correctly, until I tried to put the phone on airplane mode to charge it and tried activating the WiFi to keep on using it. (Note: The Wi-Fi was working before I put the phone on airplane mode.) It was strange so I turned off airplane mode and tried to turn Wi-Fi on once again and it didn't enable. So I went ahead and rebooted the cellphone and no luck. I didn't pay much attention until I got home, where I decided to restore to factory settings and yes, the Wi-Fi started working, but only for a few hours, I decided to do the same and it appeared to be working, but then again it stopped working and from that point no luck either. I looked up some possible solutions such as hard-resets, removing the battery, waiting for a while, etc, various methods and no luck. Bluetooth has the same problem but I really don't use it. The phone is unlocked and appears to have a different stock rom, as when it turns on it has "Claro" as a greeting which is a spanish network company. I am not sure if this affects in anyway but I am trying to give as much information as I can, any help would be excellent so I would surely aprecciate any help at all, thanks. :crying:
For a start, try flashing a different custom rom that is available on samsung galaxy s4 forum. If you dont know how to,make sure to read the frequently asked question that is made available in the forum. If that doesn't work, you need to flash the stock/official rom. That should do the trick. But that might lock/unroot your phone.

Okay I'm going to flash a custom rom, but just in case it doesn't work, would you be able to help me find the original stock rom? I'm not 100% sure of the original network and like I said it looked to be flashed to another rom which was not the original, once I'm done with the custom rom I'll give you some feedback, thanks!

Just to make sure, does the kernel affect the WiFi in any way? Because I noticed some red letters on the top left-hand corner saying something about the Kernel, and I have read about flashing the kernel which I don't understand..
