This is acually the first thing I thought when I started reading your thread. No first hand experience, of course, but I've noticed quite a few times people report that the battery looping behavior is associated with a bad usb port. The good news is that it is fairly easy to replace. Some even do it themselves.

If you look up the thread about power buttons not working you will see my wife's phone had the same problem. Couldn't use the power button at all. If it went to sleep I couldn't wake it up. To wake the device I had to plug it into a charger then I could swipe to open it. If I powered it off it turned back on by itself. If I pulled the battery and put it back in it powered itself back up. So it acted like the power button was stuck on.
It had cm9 on it at the time. I downloaded quick boot so I could get to recovery, reboot, etc. I wiped everything and reflashed the cm9. Still wouldn't work. For recovery in cm9 I was able to select anything I wanted by using the volume up/down and the home button to select. I ended up flashing cm10 on it and got everything started up but still no power button.
I was about to flash to stock just to make sure it was a hardware issue but ran out of time that day before work. So I set the volume keys to wake the device. Sometimes it took two or three times of pushing the volume buttons to wake it up to the lock screen.
So I went to work for my three days so I couldn't get back to it during that time. My first day off I asked to see her phone so I could mess with it some more and to my surprise the power button started working and has for the past couple days so far. I was going to tear it apart and clean it/dust it or anything I could try. But bam...I didn't need to so far.
So LOOONNNGGGG story short it kind of sounds like what my wife's phone had going on. I had spoke to Josh at Mobiletech videos and he could fix it for $35 so that woild have been my next course of action. Good luck

I have been reading around and rarely post unless necessary bt I wonder why 122ninjas always reply those who need help in a harsh way? Probably he is right that they dont search around for the fixes but not everyone thinks as fast as he does. And not everyone knew the exact way hw to solve it without asking, maybe they were anxious abt getting it work asap! Its either help by inputting something valuable than having to reply in such sarcasm manner. Not trying to flame him but im trying to understand the logic behind him doing this. It would just scare everyone off if they were to ask something and got backfired.
Just my 2cents.

Hi Gang,
Posted a few days ago about this issue I am having. During the last firmware update my Prime stopped working. It showed the android avatar doing the update and then it just went black (screen). I waited about 2 hrs and left it alone incase it was just taking a long time to reboot, but it has never turned back on.
If i hold the power button for 8-10 seconds it will vibrate like it normally does when you turn it on but thats about all. I have tried every combination of volume key and power button, reset pin ect. I have downloaded the update alone and put it to my micro sd card in hopes that it may catch it, but no luck. The power LED will only light up when plugged in and not on its own power. I have left it off charge for almost 2 days and it still seems to have power and not draining on its own.
There is 0 screen or volume..just black dead screen and vibration from holding power button 8-10 seconds.
When i plug it onto my pc it says ATX device and then fails to recognize it.
Anyone have any other ideas..at this point I am willing to open it up and reset the chip if possible or any other circuitry in hopes of rebirth.
I loved the prime..and so regret updating it.
I appreciate any suggestions and thanks.
Did you make sure the update zip was on the root of the SD Card? Did you properly put it in the mode to point it to that update zip then flash it?
Did you let battery drain completely then charge it up again? Usually those things will fix issue you described.

What would be the best way to type the address line on the micro sd card so it shows the correct path? I show no specific folder listed on my micro sd as /removeable (ect ect). What would be the proper folder name to make so it shows the path?
And i have 0 screen showing on my prime, so how do I put it the correct mode?
I have been letting it drain for 2 days now on its own, but it will take some time because there is no actual process running on it, it just appears to turn off.
I appreciate your help..in so many ways
This exact thing happened to me yesterday. And I just got my Prime...yesterday. I got to use it for about an hour before it asked to update. Frustrating. I have been digging around on the net but nothing is helping yet.
It was about 85% power or so when it started updating, so by the time the battery drained to zero I could have shipped it off to ASUS for repair and maybe it would even be on it's way back....
One interesting little thing, when i plug it into my computer windows detects it as an APX device even though the tablet is "off" (the power light isn't/screen is not on at least.) I installed the APX drivers and it's recognized as a Transformer Prime but I can't issue any ADB commands or anything.
I've tried like every button combination i can think of, the little reset thingiem and nothing makes it wake up. All I can make it do is that vibrating thing. Not a very fun start with this device, although while it was running it seemed to run really, really smooth.

Well at least it vibrates, not bad for a paperweight! I suppose I'll just have to send it off for repair or something on Monday, I don't think it will be waking up anytime soon :-[

I'm confused, if you only just got it, then the seller has to replace it, not the manufacturer and I don't care where in the world you are. That should be standard. practically DOA, no real issue unless the seller is a shyster.

I suppose, I just don't when the place will have more in stock. I got it online from Gamestop and it's the first time I ever shopped with them, but I'd guess I could just get refunded and keep looking around.

I have exactly the same problem as you. Did exactly samething you did. Still no solution. Let me know if you find a solution for it. I'll do the same for you. I have send a message to Gary from Asus. Maybe, you shall send one as well that I am not the only one with this problem.
I will keep looking for solutions, trying to figure a way to have it recognized as a storage device on my pc, right now it just lists as a Android phone and I am not able to expore within it.
What is gary's pm ? I will send him some info also.
Cheers
So you never see the ASUS logo ?
Try holding the power and Vol Down buttons for a good 30 seconds, see if you can get the recovery mode up.
If the PC see's it as an APX device its still on, and i'm guessing its in a suspended mode, perhaps used by the factory etc ... ?
Nope, never see Asus logo..screen is off..no backlight and no volume. Have tried every power button / volume configuration concieveable to no avail. But i did manage to get it to show up in device manager under phone, i would like to know how to get it to be listed as storage device.
It has been off charge for 3 days now and still vibrates on power button, because it would seem there is no process running, the battery is just draining from shelf time which could take a very long time to completely drain.
I saw a thread that mentions a reset button on the left of the device, under the microSD port ... i thought it was a microphone, but apparently thats on the top

You could try sticking a paper clip in that hole ... hey it'll be going back anyway so dont worry
P.s. mic at the top
At this point I'm doubting there's an answer other than return or warranty. Mines going back tomorrow :-\

I have exact same problem. Bought mine today. linked up wifi and entered initial data. It asked me to update and same stuff happened.
-Little android guy and gears came up. progress bar after that then turned off never to start up again. World's most expensive push button vibrator.
What a joke! A very expensive joke.
Maybe my battery will drain in a month or so so i can try the update again and go through the misery one more time.
And yes i have tried all the suggested remedies with no luck of course.
WoW... I guess I maybe got lucky for once???
I got my Prime in the mail yesterday. I ordered after seeing several reviews and videos on its performance and even finding a display in a local store. Then after ordering I start finding all these threads on lockups; WiFi and GPS issues and frankly I get worried I just made a terrrible purchase decision.
Yet; my Prime seems to be working fine. I have a 'minor' issue with scrolling and it not being as smooth as reviews and/or displays I checked out; but the WiFi and GPS are working and even after the system update to ICS - no issues.
I did read on another forum however about the hard reset fixing this type of issue. With power off hold Vol-Down and Pwr keys until some text appears on the top of the screen. Takes about 30seconds. Then let go of everything and let it boot on its own.
Give it a try! What's it gonna hurt?

Been there. Done that. I have tried every suggested remedy noted on various forums. The only one left was let the battery drain to Zero which might take a very long time since under normal use the battery will last 6 to 8 hours. There is no way to drain the battery down when it won't turn on. (other than to sit there and press down the power on/off key until it vibrates. Gee I wonder how many vibrations I would have to go through to kill the battery)
Mine is trying to install the same update. Just to throw a question out there, the people that have the bricked primes what are the first 2 digits of the serial number? If anyone has applied the update and it worked what is the first 2 of your serial number. My first prime with a B1 serial number bricked on the first update to ICS. The one that I have now has a C1 serial and has worked awesome before and after the update.

Hey,
Major issue I'm facing today. I first noticed this about 2 days ago, I'm currently running Resurrection Remix 2.0 and has been installed for about a week? with no issues.
Two days ago, I put my phone on to charge at night, as usual. Woke up the next morning and by mid morning Noticed my battery was at 15%, When I checked the battery stats, It looked as If the battery had not charged ( I'm pretty sure it had been on charge, but put it down to the fact that It wasnt plugged in correctly)
Next Day, (last night) I put it on charge, and checked it was definitely on charge, which it was. I woke up this morning to find the exact problem, this time at 50%, When I remove the power cable the charging animation still continues.
I turn the power off, Remove the battery and wipe battery stats and start back up, over the next 20 minutes the battery stats increase my battery percentage (not charging) and then continue to drop later on.
Tonight my phone had drained its battery, thought it would be best to drain it, leave it off on charge and turn it back on. I've come to turn it back on removed the power cable and now it will not turn on but constantly loop through the Charging animation icons..
Does anyone know the fault for this or even a fix? I cant boot into my rom, or even CWM
urgent help needed!! thanks in advance

Do you have a screen shot of the battery usage? And it sounds like you have an issue with the charging port. Clean it with a dry toothbrush
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
may be a kernel change would also help u ...
Pretty straightforward really. Either a battery problem (less likely) or a problem with the USB/charging circuitry (more likely; we see it on here all the time).
Try another battery & see if you can get the phone to boot. Otherwise, service centre.
As KMs said, you might as well clean the USB port while you're at it, and then try a new battery (at least you'll have a spare when you get it back from repair).

Okay tried cleaning it with a tooth brush but no luck, the phones been playing up all day, still saying its charging even though Its not plugged in lol. Just got back home to back everything up do a full wipe and update the rom to the latest version+ kernel and its not even being recognised by USB, it'll charge, but not recognise
Is this a common problem with the S2 then? that the usb fails/malfunctions?
Think I'm gonna have to take it back to three on Monday, hopefully get it repaired/replaced asap ( but will need to flash back to original stock ROM + Kernel first!)
We've seen our share (I've seen at least a couple of dozen) of these in Q&A over the time I've been here (~8 mths), yeah.

no point starting a new thread.
So Does anyone Know where I can get the original (HG3) Three UK ROM for Samsung Galaxy S2?
I don't want Three to say that because I've put a custom ROM on it I've voided my warranty
Here, Samfirmware.com or you can get the latest firmware for phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google).
Thanks again for all your help.
finally got some screen shots off my phone,
here's the battery stats if anyone's interested

Downloaded the firmware, however I cant seem to find how to update OTA, Its given me a .tar which I could use Odin to upgrade, However as I cant get it to read from USB I cannot get Odin to detect my device
That's probably due to the USB circuitry problems you seem to be having. Might want to use Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) to flash the firmware. If it's an ICS stock rom, you should be able to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
Hey guys..im also experiencing the same problem.....sometimes charging stopped halfway....when i check with the "battery widget" it says overvoltage (with " ! " symbol)....
is it because the firmware problem or usb port or charger problem ? any solution? Tq in advance guys !
Did you even bother to read the thread ? Go back to stock & see if this resolves the problem. Then clean the USB port with an unused toothbrush or similar. Try a new battery. Try a new charger. And if none of these fixes things, service centre.

I install a wifi kill app.
It was apparently shutting down wifi? What wifi I have no idea. It was stuck and non responsive for around 4/5 minutes so I thought a battery pull and a restart would get me out of the app.
And now the phone will not respond to me pressing the power button?! Nor will it charge. It's not responsive to being plugged in.
Help...
First time anything like this has happened to me. I am stuck without a phone and worried. Any help is appreciated?! I best not have screwed up the device.
Its a GSM evo, had a high battery charge. Running a custom rom with s off.
Even plugging it in gives no response. :crying:
It has been charged all night. seemed to indicate it was full. This morning it was down to 80% and I left it on charge some more, now this.
I opened up my comand prompt then typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and I just get < waiting for device >
I've been through this thread and non of this helps. (link below)

Button presses were having no effect I left my phone connected to the mains and re tried the buttons and adb commands with no luck.
Although my battery was reading at around or above 80% before the problems I was sure it wasn't the battery.
I couldn't see how it was appearing to be bricked and unresponsive. I installed an app, it hung and I pulled the battery. So I presumed something had gone wrong with the app.....
I took a chance that the battery had drained fully somehow and the ROM was somehow supplying some dodgy readings.
The battery and wire trick was what I tried. A jump start was needed.
I should have licked the battery first to feel for any charge. But it was the last thing I was thinking about. (I don't have a voltage tester any more around the house)
I set off for a 9 volt battery. Using my trusty tongue again the one in my alarm was out of juice. Thankfully I got a new one though which was laying around.
So if it wasn't going to work I knew this battery wasn't going to be part of a problem.
Striping metal food ties I connected positive to the one positive contact and used another metal strip to tap each of the three negatives, obviously connected to the negative of the battery.
I kept the touches quick barely a second and kept running through all three. Went well, there was no heat from the battery. I did that for about a minute.
Be careful, don't damage your battery! Do not blame anyone else if you do... Make sure not to have your connections touch one another or its game over too.
I used my trusty method of licking the phone battery and bam, it was charged and I knew about it!
Placed it into the phone. Took a bit of time to say my prayers.... Connected the USB and the computer acknowledged that it was working a red light flashed,
My prayers were answered! I powered on the phone and its back to normal.
Strangely telling me the battery is at around 75% plus ...

I didn't have a wall charger or a spare battery as you can tell. I got there in the end.
Have you tried booting into recovery?
Try pulling the battery for a few. Then press and hold the camera button and click power on. No idea where i remember this from but it may work.

Tried this too. Even with volume combinations as suggested in other threads I have looked up. My battery appeared to be charged to at least 80%. I'm hoping its something that hasn't bricked my phone and there is a simple fix. Maybe the battery level has been wrong?
I've left it on charge for now and I will give the buttons another go. At the minute it doesn't appear to be charging.
Can the battery pull cause any damage?
*Anyone else having trouble check this thread ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408374 I've tried all these tips here and non are working for me so far. They keep mentioning cwm 5 may cause problems ? I think I was running it because when I s-offed it came with it. Not sure which version it was?
The battery pull wont do any damage but this doesnt sound too good. If you cant boot to recovery or the bootloader your pretty much screwed.
Does the led light up when you charge it? If so it may not be completely bricked. But we need to see if you can power it up at all.

No, no light so I was worried. Good news is it's not bricked. I have another problem though.... I will post back in a minute, I will post the fix that worked for me to the top of the thread.
My battery seems to indicate it has charge that's what it appears to be reading at once I booted the phone up I took that picture. But it indicates its been on a while? ? ?
And now ky battery is draining like crazy. Is it just a bad battery? Or one that needs calibration?
Seems strange as only people with a low battery come across this problem. What could have caused it. I'd rather not have it happen again.
Any clues?
Oh wow! Awesome man. My next round of questions were going to be if you had access to a different battery or a friends phone to test it before we claimed it as a brick. Huge props for going above and beyond. Now stay away from the app that caused it but it also couldve been the battery failing and its coincedence.
Was gonna order a wall charger and a spare battery. But would have had to wait until Tuesday with shipping.
Battery level seems a bit all over the place. Why is there a second gap ?

I install a wifi kill app.
It was apparently shutting down wifi? What wifi I have no idea. It was stuck and non responsive for around 4/5 minutes so I thought a battery pull and a restart would get me out of the app.
And now the phone will not respond to me pressing the power button?! Nor will it charge. It's not responsive to being plugged in.
Help...
First time anything like this has happened to me. I am stuck without a phone and worried. Any help is appreciated?! I best not have screwed up the device.
Its a GSM evo, had a high battery charge. Running a custom rom with s off.
Even plugging it in gives no response. :crying:
It has been charged all night. seemed to indicate it was full. This morning it was down to 80% and I left it on charge some more, now this.
I opened up my comand prompt then typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and I just get < waiting for device >
I've been through this thread and non of this helps. (link below)

WOW where did you come up with using a battery to charge your phone?
My bet the battery needs to be trained again. Let it die then charge it back to full. The fact the battery failed like that might mean its still going bad so if it were me.. id get a new battery when you could. Trickle charging all the time probably isnt the best either but you do what you have to for a charge.
I just wanted to thank the OP (which I did using the button) for actually posting his solution so future searchers will not just come across the question.
Same thing is happening mine now. I can get into fastboot but from searching everywhere it seems the phone will not charge when its in fastboot. I may aswell go find a square battery somewhere around my house and give this a shot.
I found by searching that there is a fastboot charging script but that seems to be in the One X forum , I tried it anyways and my phone just keeps rebooting into fastboot. Im sickened because a girl I was with on friday night said to me on facebook that she sent me some good pictures but I cant get phone on to look at them ha ha . ill try whats in the first post here now and see how I go. Thanks.
Man my phone is old. Good to know this thread helped a few people.

It's my brothers phone and I dont mess with it.
He says it only shows that when you are holding the power button.
He has tried to get into the stock recovery and it still only shows this.
Any ideas?
He is completely stock (no root custom rom or recovery)
Maybe a bad battery?
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Whenever you want to get into recovery with the 3-button combo, just unplug the USB charger. It worked for me back when I had GB on my Fascinate. that was ages ago though.
Just flashed a JB rom
Yeah thanks. I just got into recovery and did a factory reset.

I know this is an old thread but this problem never went away. I finally have time to work with it.
I was able to do a factory reset and the problem went away for about 30 mins.
When it started to do it again I went ahead and used odin to flash back to stock even tho it was already stock.
Still no go. I even bought a new battery and still the same problem.
It had been like this for 2 months now.
Any ideas for a possible fix?

It is unplugged? So, you hold all 3 buttons down until SAMSUNG logo shows up, and you continue to hold everything until it turns off again? Then you let go, and it should reboot into recovery.

Last time I had it booted up it was working fine.
I turned it off then back on and all I get to show up is the battery icon.
If I hold all 3 to get to recovery it will go into a bootloop until I let go of the buttons.
If I hold Vol up and power it also goes into a bootloop until I let go.
If I hold Vol down and power the battery icon will stay on screen as long as I hold it and the bottom buttons respond like normal but nothing onscreen happens.
If I just hold power it does the same as Vol down and power.
This is all without being plugged in. And I have tried using 2 different batteries.

Ohh, ok I thought you meant it did this when you try to get into recovery..
So it is on stock gingerbread? [EH03]
You could try using Odin and restore it to stock, but you would lose all your apps & data.. I'm not positive that it would do anything, but if after doing that it still has this problem, most likely it is a hardware problem.
I suppose it has been over a year since it was bought? Samsung has a 1-year warranty, I had to send mine in after I got it used on craigslist--twice in fact, they ended up replacing the main board. I sent it in 11 months after it was bought, a month later and I would have had a terrible phone. [stability issues & usb port would not connect to PC, only charge]
Yeah it's well over the one year warranty.
I can eventually get it to boot up if it is plugged in.
I'm thinking it's a hardware problem too.
I have had this problem on stock and I used Odin to flash it to stock anyways and flashed powerwash.
It still has this problem no matter what I do.
I may try an aosp ROM just to see.
Thanks for your input.

Okay, no problem, hope you get it figured out.
Also I'd recommend a cm10 ROM I have ParanoidAndroid which is pretty good if you like fooling with the layout and dpi for each app.

Hey guys,
So I was outside working in the yard and had music playing on my phone, I then walked into the garage and back and my phone was off when I got back. It wasnt in the sun when I left it out. Anyways It was connected to my laptop charging all night and had close to a full charge when it shut off. I plugged it into the wall for hours, plugged it into a linux laptop for a while, plugged it into a windows tower for a while, and no luck. Ive held down the power for up to a minute, Ive tried power and volume down and no luck.
Phone has the newest version of CM 4.3 10.2 8/7 with crpalmers 4.3 kernal installed.
Any suggesetions? Id ask in the forum thread for CM 10.2 but I dont have enough posts.
Try a different cable and attempt to charge overnight with a wall charger.
htc response
After contacting HTC they told me to do a battery recalibration which was charge for ten minutes and hold vol down vol up and power for 2 minutes but no dice.
Ive only had this phone for a month and they suggested I contact Verizon and try to get a replacement. Since this phone is competely whacked and I cannot RUU im curious If I should send it to verizon or If it will get declined.

That is what I was thinking. I tried to put it into fastboot by holding down volume and power, waited and then pressed power again and then plugged it into my computer and ran "fastboot devices" and "fastboot -- s" and both came back with waiting for device.
I watched the JTAG video but I honestly dont see a repair guy going through that much trouble to find out why it was bricked.
Fingers crossed I dont end up paying 500
This sucks
Just had this happen to me on Carbon 4.3 latest running stock kernel. Had mine on the charger overnight. My wife says that it was still working when she got up at 0730, but when I got up at 1000 it wouldn't turn on. Tried everything I could think of: Different cables, different power sources, nothing will get it to show a charging light or turn on. Ugh.

round 3
well I sent my first phone back into verizon and they sent me another one. All was well and I didnt get hit with a $500 fine, but within a week the same thing happened to the second phone as did the first. [ running PA with stock kernal, played a few songs and then dead with no charge light for days ] I received my 3rd phone yesterday and Im terrified to even root it now haha.
Is this a common problem with this phone? or maybe im having trouble with aosp roms. I really want to install PA again.
Same thing happened to me...

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I was playing music in the garage and when I came back, deader than a door nail. I finally ended up sending mine in to HTC. They sent back a working phone. What irritated me most besides having to pay shipping to get the phone to them when it was an under warranty repair, was the fact that they did not tell me what they fixed. And since the wifi MAC address was changed, I assume they swapped out the guts or something. Apparently there are issues with this phone that they don't want to share? I got the phone rooted again and am currently running crdroid with crkernal and the battery life is beyond horrible. I can charge it completely, leave it set at home and not use it at all and when I get home and check it, it's completely dead. Nothing. Very frustrating because I enjoy the phone when it's functioning correctly.
interesting nonetheless since mine died running the latest cm10.2 just before 4.3 came out hmm wonder if something with cyanogenmod is messing with the devices but if that was the case then everyone would be having this very same issue i dont know waiting on a repair from htc myself as i have heard nothing from them yet accept tracking shows in repair
Same thing just happened to mine running CM 10.1. Getting a new one from verizon tomorrow and I guess ill be sending them my dead rooted DNA.
Mine did something similar a couple of months ago. I was running carbon, listening to music. The music stopped and the phone was dead. I was able to boot into recovery. Initiated a reboot and got a popup about losing root and did I want to fix it. Selected yes and that was the last time it powered on.

Mine just did the same thing today. I was outside working in the yard cleaning up leaves and listening to music via headphones. All of a sudden the phone was dead. Not even 30 min before that it was at 90%+ battery. Now it won't turn on and the charging light won't even come on when it's plugged in. I've been running rooted S-off Viper ROM for a while without any previous issues. Is there something that I could try to fix it? I'm so confused about what happened. I'm pretty sure I'm out of the warranty too.

Update: Popped the back cover off after trying every button push/plugged in wall/plugged in computer/not plugged in combination possible and took the 2 tiny screws out of the battery connector and unhooked it, left the phone to sit for about 10 min, put it all back together and WAALA! It turned back on like nothing had happened. The battery was down to 55% though and it was 90+ when it turned off. Either it drained 40% and wasn't taking a charge while it was off since I had it plugged in a considerable amount of time that it was off without a light OR the more likely scenario is that I think the battery completely died somehow and it was actually charging without the light coming on and it had only gotten to 55%. Either way: if your experiencing this problem go for the battery. Watch a YouTube video to see how to get the thing apart, it's not that hard. Just make sure your gentle taking it apart the first time and don't rip the rubber gasket, it's sealed with a tiny amount of silicon so gently peel it off and place it back into its groove before reassembly.
