3 monthes ago, i tried to flash the official ics stock, and bricked the phone, with installing the china edition bestand of the psasia.
ive got an factory cable and flashed the right rom. after this flash, the razer started hard-shutdowns itself about a 5-6 times a day.
not a restart. a fast-as-hell-shutdown. the phone is a realy critical workstation for me. getting the phone out of my pocket at the middle of the day and see it off, just freaks me out. it could happen while playing Jetpack-Joyride, browsing or kust listening to music.
i changed for any gsm-jb rom wich exists, even the kexec'ed ones. nothing solve it.
i would happy if someone could throw me a bone about fixing it.
Sounds like you need the GSM equivalent of Matt's RAZR Utility. Google it or search this forum. It will take you back to bone-stock, boot image and all, provided you can still get into AP fastboot mode.

i hope that motorola solutions will fix this for me...
Try to look here.
Hello, try to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893500. Maybe something from there will help. If not, at least tried. Hope you find a solution. Have a nice day. Bye.
I have the exact same problem. At my wits end! Don't know what to do!

Did you try to change the battery?
My last carrier, which I bought my device from, doesn't want to fix my phone because of reasons.
I guess I'll try to change the battery.

Hi
Recently my S2 just stopped reading my SIM when I was going to call someone. Since then it has refused to read my SIM, or any other SIM for that matter.
To fix this problem I've tried resetting the phone to factory settings (in 3 different ways ( hard-reset.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-hard-reset.html )) with no luck.
I've also tried installing alternative ROM's, but with the same result.
The phone was already rooted with an insecure kernel when this happened, so warranty is long gone.
Though, one thing I did realize was that even though I did hard-reset the phone several times, some of the settings on the phone remained untouched, like my locking pattern and a few other settings. Does this mean that hard-resetting the phone isn't really an actual hard-reset? If that's so, is there any way to properly 100% reset the phone?
In short; I'm running out of options on how to fix this. I refuse to believe it's hardware related, just because I'm stubborn like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (really).

You can refuse to believe in gravity too, but falling from high distances will still hurt.
If you tried more than one SIM in the phone and none work, but those same SIMs work in other phones, than more than likely, it is hardware related.
Did you check you imei?
078gregory brings up a good point. So if it's not missing IMEI info, THEN it's likely hardware.
Isn't it funny how everything suddenly works itself out once you cry out for help?
Today I've been trying around 10 different ROM's on the phone. Custom and stock. As one last attempt I gave a random ICS 4.0.3 march ROM a last try, and guess what. I got the SIM prompt. I can not believe it. So yeah, it's working now. I have no idea what caused it, but I believe the phone was stuck in flight mode somehow, and just needed an extra push to get out.
Either way, it's working like a charm now. Thanks for the replies though.

Hi people. I have the same problem Habitats decribes. Mi s2 is stuck in flightmode and cant get out! i have reset the phone in every kind of way but no succes. Now i read here on this forum that flashing my phone to ICS 4.0.3 can help solve the problem. I'm on 2.3.6 now. This flightmode thing happened al over sudden. I have done nothing strange with the phone. Its not rooted either. I was planning to go to a samsung servicepoint and let them check whats wrong. But now i read this thread and see that i can relate to this problem of Habitats. I think a also will try to flash ICS 4.0.3 and watch what happens. But theres another problem. KIES don't recognize my phone anymore so what can i do? Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance
I'm having the exact same problem, could you please tell me which rom worked for you Habitats? Thanks in advance!
Update:Last tuesday i went to the vodafone store were they have a samsung service department also. I explained my problem to them but they don't seem to recognize the problem. Although i read that many people here at xda's and over the internet have similar issues with this phone.Strange! So they sent it to the repair centre. Yesterday i could see in the track and trace menu of the repair centre that my fone was ready and send back to the vodafone store. Status: Boardswap. So they swapped the whole board! Didn't know that the problem was that serious! So i hope i can pickup my galaxy s2 soon this coming week!! I can't wait!I'm on my old HTC Touch HD now. Its ok with the windows but on Android....Arggghh!! Whatsapp is a pain and more. Its so laggy!. I will give an update soon again!
Hey guys.
My atrix went back from the warranty, and they said that is all ok, and did a softare update (already did by me via ota, so I don't know what they had updated) and did a general test of the device.
BUT
My phone has the same problems as before, random reboots when screen is off, and tonight i'll check the airplane mode (when I active this mode, the next morning when i try to disable the phone will reboot).
So, my question is this: If i'll unlock the phone (it's still locked and no root) can I solve this issues?
In italy the exchange works when the phone is went on warranty 3 times, and trust me, I bought this phone and after a week I sent it already to it, and now i'm really pissed off, I don't want to wait 1 month or more for a f*****g replacement.
Sry for the english, and language, but I'm really not in the mood .
Tnx for the answers .
Before I give my answer, I need to confirm something first, which software are you running at the moment if your phone isn't currently rooted and bootloader unlocked, would like to do that and flash ROMS on the phone. It's a possibility that might work. It could be a software thing. These are just ideas to try.

I suggest you try ROMS. The first thing you should do is look at the stickies of the atrix forum. Once you tried that and if you are still confused, I will give you a hand.

Hmm.. it seems a lot of us have been having problems with the Atrix.
Because you mentioned airplane mode, this might be radio problem. You could try flashing the Retail Brazil Radio.sbf. This actually fixed a permanent network-lock problem I had earlier.
Well, Today i went at the shop where I bought the phone, and I persuaded the employer to get me a replacement from the warranty.. so i'll have to wait like 2-3 weeks , italy sucks in this way..
I'm really pissed off, I had the phone on my hands only for 10 days, and the rest was in warranty (bought 4 March) . This sucks.
Tnx for the answers, I'll keep you updated when it come back
Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.

Factory reset your phone.
Hope everything turns out alright.
Hello everyone, this is my first post here so I want to thank everyone in advance for the help. I've never needed to post here because my questions were always answered by someone else's post. But this time I'm in a whole different boat.
Long story short. Found a Droid razr on Craigslist. Owner mentioned it would power up but stay locked on boot. He sold it cheap to me. I figured I could easily do a hard reset and I would be good. Nope. Not the case.
I attempted a hard reset, razrutility, rdslite and nothing has worked. When flashed using rsdlite, it runs its course and then notifies the phone to reboot and low and behold, the phone still gets stuck on boot where it says "Droid". I need help!!!!

Anyone?
You might want to try the two different versions of DroidRAZRUtility. IIRC, 1.6 is for GB bootloaders and 1.7 is for ICS leak bootloaders. Perhaps your phone was upgraded to a leak (unsuccessfully), is now stuck halfway through the ICS update, and needs to be wiped before you can do the real update and get it running.
I found the guide in my signature very useful.
I have a little bit different story with the same problem. I was testing XT912 boards and LCD/Digitizer assemblies. This board was the one I knew to be working. I tested a 3 or 4 LCD/Dig. assemblies without any problem. I then rebuilt the phone entirely, and powered it on. It starts to go through the power up cycle but stops on "Droid". I did a recovery wipe and factory reset and it still does the same thing. My PC acknowledges the phone is connected, but nothing else can be found connected on the PC; Moto DM, Motocast, not even my com ports. I have a feeling I inadvertingly shorted the board, but this is strange...any ideas?
Hello XDA Users.
I have a problem.
Today I hard reset my phone. 2 hours later the gears were still spinning. I soft reset it the phone and 5 hours later they are still spinning.
I believe a ROM flash may fix this. Seeing as to how Nokia conveniently locked us out of Navi+ firm its hard to find the ROM bellow.
RM-820_NAM_ATT_US_VAR237330_PR1_1_V3_Black
I've read through some posts and it's believed that the Rogers ROM works on this device to?
Does anyone know where I may find (if needed) this ROM?
Any help is much appreciated! :crying:
