[Q] HELP!!! My Galaxy S1 is DEAD!!.. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
sorry for my bad english language, i hope u will understand..
I did a very stupid thing this morning, i was making a flash to my S1 coz i wanted to install Android 4 system on it instead of v2.
i installed Odin, and put the files as it was instructed to be place according to a web site's instructions.,.
everything went fine, i accessed to the Download Mode, and presses START in Odin, the first square became green with logo says PASS..all going well, but my phone didnt reboot - even though the auto-reboot was ticked on - and all i got was black screen with white square in the center - this is what i saw on my S1 screen..
Now..my phone is completely DEAD!..really dead, nothing happens at all no matter what i do, no power on, no sound, lights, vibrating, download mode..completely DEAD!
can anyone help me please?

Galaxy S1 ? Check the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery & post the model number here. This is the SGS2 forum. If you have an I9000 you need to go here.
If you do have an I9100, your only two options are service centre, or maybe a JTAG repair.

Put out your battery for 30 minutes and try to start. Does your computer recognize the phone? And you can try to use a usb jig, google for it. (They're cheap, but you can build your own one, if you have the time.)
Good luck.

[Q] Ace doesn't boot - download mode might not work right!?

Hi,
###Feel free to skip this part:[For starters, i want to give a very brief introduction of myself, as a new member of this board. I'm a soon to be language teacher in Germany. I often choose Usernames with "Hank" in it, as i used to be a Turbonegro Fan in my Teens and still like'em. I got to know this forum from former Problems with my old phone, my Motorola MS. I know signed up due to problems my girlfriend has with her phone, i wasn't able to find solutions without asking som questions]#####
last night, my batterie died, so i charged it and then thought of turning on my Ace, nothing bad in mind...
But then it just stuck when the "Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830" Screen appeared.
So i started researching some Android/Samsung Forums and the first thing i tried is to "reset" it by pushing "Home + Power" Buttons simultaneously. Didn't work. Same Screen as mentioned above appears and stays.
The next thing i found was "Vol. Down + Home + Power" - now i got a screen that says "Downloading..." in little yellow letters. I was happy first but unfortunately nothing happend after that.
It's a new phone, so there's still waranty and i might have to send it to Samsung. Maybe someone here knows a method i might try where i wont lose the waranty.
But either way i'm curios how this might have happened!? I didn't try any flashing or modding, because it's my girlfriends phone and she's more than satisfied with it's functions!?
try to go to recovery and wipe everything
or flash cwm recovery and flash roms
or go to download mode the downloading signs
and use odin to flash stock firmware

thanks for your quick answer....
there's no way i can enter recovery mode. It's Power + Home for several seconds, isn't it?
Flashing sth leads to loss of warranty, right? I think that's too risky due to my knowledge...
Do you have an idea hwo this could have happened?
Obviously he on stock rom with stock kernel, maybe even no root
So I'm gonna suggest a simplest way.
Boot into recovery (hold home+power button simultaneously) and when it do go into recovery, just do reset to factory. I can't remember correctly what the exact menu because only got experience with stock recovery for a hour or so
Btw navigate up/down via volume up/down button and make selection with home button. Good luck

...from mine? Don't think so...;-)
Yeah, i tried that, but I just can't enter recovery mode. It just starts to the "Samsung Galaxy Ace...) screen and freezes there, even if i start with the button-combination.
....desparate :-(

But Download Mode works for you . (Home + Power + Vol Down)
You're going to have to flash a firmware via ODIN .
Follow my newbie guide on how to flash something via ODIN .
Be sure to download a full package ROM
Herpderp Defy.
So do u still remember what android version and from what region the stock rom is? As u stated that u still can access download mode, just download the same firmware from sammobiles.com and flash it via Odin.

...but i've seen two different pic's that show DL-Mode. One looks like what i see on my phone: Black screen, yellow letters saying "Downloading....".
The other one is a black screen with white letters saying "MDL something something" this screen, i don't get on my phone!?
Is the first screen fine or is do i have to get to the second one!? (Because i don't)
Will the warranty get lost, when i do that?
the first screen black background with green yellowish downloading
is download mode

First one is correct
Herpderp Defy.
From what country and operator is your phone?
So we can suggest a rom for you to flash!
If you do this yor warranty will not be voided! (hopefully :b)
I wouldn't worry about the warranty too much.
It all sounds scary but when you've done it a couple of times you'll notice It's not so big of a thing.
Just always take your time and read up on things before you start doing stuff.

You have to use the search tools and find user who have the same problems. Use google and keywords. It can take time, be patient. When you are trying to modify a handset you must have another phone that you can use, as backup, you never know.
It would be a good idea to first post in a more apropriate forum like the one that matches your phone here on xda, you will find others to help.
I have been stuck for days with a bricked phone, I have used google and serach tools, now its all sorted.
Click thanks if you think this was helpfull.
Good luck.

[Q] i9100 won't start at all

I need some help, a few days ago y flashed SlimSaber on my phone, everything was ok until this morning, when i woke up the phone was off, when i truned on it got stuck on the samsung logo screen, then i tried to start it in Download mode, connected to the pc opened ODIN and tried to flash a stock rom, for some reason the phone got disconected in the middle of that, after that i tried again and this time it finished but said FAIL then i unplugged the phone tried to restart it but nothing happened now i can´t even get to download mode the phone is just there i can't turn it on and i don't know what to do, i need help plz
If the phone won't boot at all, what exactly do you expect anyone here to suggest ? No Christmas miracle.
Service centre for motherboard replacement (expensive option) or source 2nd hand board from 'donor' phone (search online) & either replace yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it (cheaper option).

Try to use JIG, but you don't assure you nothing. The assistance will find out for sure that you have installed a cooked ROM and you will pay a lot for a simple replacement. And then I advise you to follow the many guides available online to disassemble and reassemble the pieces of the Galaxy S2. Let me know
thanks for the help but at this point I think i'll buy another celphone I'm thinking on the galaxy grand or the galaxy win

[Q] Sorry BOOT LOOP problem,but BLACK SCREEN !!!

Hi guys
I'm new here so I hope you can help me.
I have Samsung galaxy S2,not rooted with original firmware 4.1.2.
I never had problems like this.Yesterday I was on my phone using Facebook application on WI-FI.After a while my phone restarted by it self and it was frozen with SAMSUNG GALAXY S II logo.I waited but it restarted by it self again and again it was stuck with the logo.It couldn't start up the phone.I took out the battery few times,started the phone and again the same problem.Only once after a some time of waiting and pressing the Power and Meny buttons together I think it started the phone and got only to other SAMSUNG logo,and the it restarted again by it self.I pressed the POWER Button and the menu button together,but nothing happened.After few other tries of restarting,battery taking out.......another problem. The phone can't start at all now.I can't even get the SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 LOGO.The display is BLACK now,nothing happens.
I was reading on internet today that this is called BOOT LOOP,and I can fix it by pressing all of the three buttons at the same time and then do a FACTORY or MASTER RESET...........BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T START THE PHONE AT ALL TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE I CAN DO A FACTORY RESET!!!!
I took my phone to some repair shop and they told me that the battery is OK,and that maybe the problem is BOOTING or the Processor.
PLEASE HELP ME TO START THE PHONE UP,SO THAT I CAN DO A FACTORY RESET or if there is some other solution !!!!!
Thank you in advance
juno106
If you can't boot to download mode or recovery by any way then you have 2 choices:
1.Get yourself a usb JIG and pray
2.Replace the motherboard
You think that the processor is dead?Ufffffff....that is not what I expected.and what is that USB JIG.I don't think that I have that thing in my country.There is no another way to start the phone?

Some info about the jig
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-usb-jig-faq-frequently-questions-t1402286
Also try this:
take out the battery,hold volume up+home+power buttons and then reinsert battery without releasing the buttons.
What more information do you need? I wrote everything what happened with the phone.
It has original firmware Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and never have been rooted.It is bought from Australia on OPTUS network,unlocked. I had downloaded some pirate .apk's,but didn;t have problem before.
I was using Facebook application on the phone with WI-FI at the time it started BOOT LOOP.I took out the battery few times,started the phone but I still got only to SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 logo and it restarted by it self. I tried few times pressing together the POWER and MENU buttons together........nothing happened.Then after few attempts to start the phone,it suddenly stopped working.The display stopped working and it went BLACK,and now nothing happens even if I press all of the three buttons : VOLUME+POWER+MENU.......I can't start up the phone at all,to make FACTORY RESET.That is the problem now.I tried with another full battery ,but still nothing happens.I CAN GET THE PHONE TO START AT ALL.I ONLY GET BLACK SCREEN.
So if someone can help me to start the phone somehow and then try to do Factory reset !!!
Most probably your nand memory somehow got corrupted.
JIG,though in very rare cases,may force the phone to boot into download mode.
Imho,you shouldn't waste the time and get a new mobr a new phone.
What is MOBO,a motherboard? What about a link which I found where you can change some CAPACITOR only ON THE MOTHERBOARD?

Can't start after screen replacement

I got a P9000 in the late spring, and have been really happy with it. Unfortunately I dropped it on the ground, and the screen cracked, after which the touch function did not work (but the phone did) I finally managed to get a new screen from China, and it has been installed by a local shop dealing with mobiles. However, the shop told me they could/would not deal with anything else but changing the LCD screen. The phone switches on (I can hear starting jingles and emails downloading etc) but the screen just turns from black to dark blue and stays that way. I have been trawling through the forums, but not sure what to do next. Take it that I need to flash it, and have followed the instructions given here, but it just seems to time out. Anyone got the patience to walk me through this?

You are in a boot loop. This is not a bad sign, now you know the screen works. It's normal that you have to flash the Rom again after replacing the screen. if you use flashtool, start download in flashtools before you connect your phone to the PC, then hold vol+ on your P9000 and connect the phone to the pc.

P9000 screen replacement
Hi . I had my p9000 about 2 months when I sat on it and cracked the screen,the casing was very slightly curved so I gave it to a shop to repair,now nearly 2 months later they say they can't get it to start up. They tried a new battery and I told them what I'd read on this forum regarding flahing the rom but They gave me back the phone with a new screen and nothing else, so I told them i'm not paying for 1/2 a repair and told them to remove the new screen and give me back the phone as it was . What do you think could be the problem if a repair shop cannot repair a screen and install new sorftware is there hope for it?
Hi, i broked my screen again so i am not a newbie about this... but this time after flashing the Phone show nothing at all... the small LED Dot is shining when android is boot, so i dont think the cable is connected wrong. The touch works fine..What can it be??
