Those are the signs of a hardbrick. Were you on a safe kernel before flashing AOKP? If not, then you might have triggered the eMMC brickbug and hardbricked you phone.

Share your problem with dorimanx on his forum.... Tell him all the truth... He is available only on his kernel thread..

No it might be battery(Motherboard) bug. I had it twice, the motherboard had a issue and it ate battery like mad. It takes all the juice out of the battery (even when off) and renders the battery useless after that it can no longer boot even with charger plugged in. Only way is to give it to samsung for a motherboard replacement

dont know if the kernel causing the hardbrick or not.....been using dorimanx for a long time, so far no prob.
anyway, already sent my i9100 for warranty claim, the technician said they might need to change the mobo.....sounds good or worse?

Could just be what u said above

Turn off your phone either by taking otu hte battery or by pressing power button for like 7-8 seconds.
Then press Volume Down + Home + Power button, to boot into downlaod mode.
You have to press those three buttons not two buttons.

[Q] Secondary Download Mode? Whats the deal? *PIC

Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.

heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.

Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.

I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again..
I tried that with no luck lol

This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.

Slept on my phone. Now its dead!

Hi guys
I woke up today snuggled up on top of my phone. Now when I try and boot her nothing happens! I've tried removing the batter and powering up. Also leaving it for a few hours with no power or battery but no joy. What could of happened?
Thanks
Maybe she's angry at you, as didn't even buy her lunch before sleeping with her.
Anyway, did you try charging it?
Also did you try any of the button combos, like power + volume up+home button to get in to recovery or power+ volume down+home buttons to see if you can get into download mode?

Haha, nice.
And it sounds like battery problems, if you can't get into DL mode or recovery try a new battery.
She's still angry at me. I've tried pressing all her buttons but shes still not talking to me. I'll try another battery but should it not boot with just usb power?
Cheers

Phone malfunction

My phone suddenly started turning off by itself. Also, I noticed that the power button has no effect when the phone is on. I THINK it works to turn it on, but pressing it has no effect after (i.e. won't lock, etc). Then it shuts off again in less than 30 seconds. I tried wiping everything as quickly as possible, and that still didn't work. I can't even reset it back to stock because the phone won't stay on long enough. Is my phone a goner? (i.e. hardware malfunction)?
I'm on Jivy's ICScrewed 2.1. Haven't done any major changes asides from testing out the latest ICS and Jelly bean ROMS. (aokp and CM 9.1). I didn't like them so I wiped and restored. This was last night. My phone was fine until a couple minutes ago where I realized I wasn't getting texts and it was turned off. :/
Can you get into download mode/recovery?

you can still go into download mode by removing battery plug-in USB to ur phone and PC holding down vol up+vol dwn and insert battery.once u get into download mode install stock GB ROM 2.3.4(u can get it from creepycrawler posts).once ur stock check if the power button is working or not.if its not working yes your power button has hardware problem which can be fixed from your local samsung service center if you have warranty.if u dont have it will cost you 10$ to get it fixed.i had the same problem with my i777 with no warranty.

Turns off still. Whether I'm in recovery or download mode, the phone shuts off. Not sufficient time to revert.
Keep in mind if you send it in for warranty replacement because you can't get it working and they fix it or see you're on a custom ROM they're going to bill you. However, people tell me that's rare and that usually they wipe it anyway. Just a heads up.

The phone turns off even in Recovery or Download mode? Sounds like either a hardware problem, kernel problem, or maybe even a battery problem. Maybe you should try to flash a different kernel, that would only take a few seconds. But be careful, if the phone turns of during a kernel flash that might be dangerous.
Try to enter download mode with the battery out. Leave the battery out and hold vol down while plugging in the usb cable. See if it will go into download mode and not turn off. If so, it will be safer to flash from there.
It was a hardware issue. Got it back to stock and I got a new refurbished phone. I can finally love my phone again since this one doesn't have the horrid reminders of that one awful drop.

What? How is this possible without a battery? I don't understand. I have the same issue. Phone keeps turning off after a 10 maybe 15 seconds.

Hard bricked?? Kiw-L21

I think i dun goofed on the worst possible way. My phone is kiw-L21 So i flashed cm13(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67863454&postcount=1877) and gapps and the b330 package so you can get the fingerprint sensor. and than i rebooted and my phone just went black. Did i do something wrong and is there a fix available. My phone wont do anything. it wont even bootloop or anything else. i tried all the button combinations and i tried connecting it to my pc/charger. nothing. If there isnt a fix for it would i be able to return it to my seller and will they notice anything? I really hope i haven't hard bricked my phone

I tried the 5 minute thing you said and i held the buttons for almost 2 minutes and still nothing. Are there any other possible ways to get it alive again?
So i have tried everything and now im thinking about getting it jtag repaired. It would cost me €40 ($44), Is this too much for a jtag repair or should i just say f**k it and send it to the guy to get it repaired?
I dont think i have got allot of choices left.
