Hi everyone
My SGS 2 won't start anymore
I charged my phone, then went somewhere, used the phone, put it back in my pocket and the next time i looked at it it was shut down and i couldn't turn it on anymore, nothing happens at all.
theres no problem with the battery (it works on another SGS 2)
I rooted my phone and put lightning rom 1.2 on it. i had no problem rooting the phone and its the first rom since stockrom.
What should I do?
So you mean your phone won't boot anymore? There is no Samsung logo or anything?

no logo, no vibration, just black
tried normal startup as well as "vol down, home, power"
Recovery vol up + home + pwr release at splash screen .
You can either try the usb recovery jig though this poster says it does not work but in my view worth a try.

Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

Did you try removing battery, replacing and then turning on. I had the same issue yesterday and this worked for me.

Thanks alot man. Truly appreciate if any alternative solution or suggestion?
Having the exact same problem,
Charged phone
Listened to some music for 30 minutes
put the phone away on the table
Two hours later I noticed the phone had shut down.
Trying to boot it nothing.
Nothing when put in wall socket charger.
Nothing when connected to USB.
Vol Up + Home + Power button does nothing.
running Lightning rom 1.2 or 1.3
Phone is 2.5months old.
You may have your last try - USB jig
Same problem here, shut down the phone to put a new microsd and when i try to start it only a black screen, no samsung logo, no vibrate, no nothing....
I try to remove sim and microsd and no result, changed battery, no result, battery works in another SGS2....
Any solution?
EDIT: WORKS AGIAN!!!! i leave it alone without battery around 30 mins then put battery and working again...
my phone won't turn on. I set it down around 26% battery and went to check it about 30 min later. BLACK. plugged it in. battery break still nothing... no vibrate no lights nothing!
im leaving battery out for the night and will try it back in in the morning but im doubtful! my life sucks.

Tried many things and not working. Sending it in for warranty. At least they wont know its hacked until they fix it. Maybe they wont charge me...

So what happened? Did they work out that it was hacked and were you charged?
So hey guys, I was just playing a game this afternoon when my phone suddenly went black (while being in the charger).
Now the red notification light is flashing and the keys at the bottom are also lighted. The keys do give a vibrating feedback, but my screen keeps black.
Holding power-button results in flashing keys, but when i release the power button nothing is changed to the previous described situation..
Any idea's what to do..?
------------------------------------------------
Update:
It rebooted again! After lots of tries and wondering if i should take it back to the dealer i found the solution!
What i did was:
- Press and hold volume down button, add and hold the power button.
- Wait till the capacitive keys start flashing and then release the volume down button, but keep holding the volume button!
- Now my phone boots normally.
Not sure if this normally makes you boot into recovery, but it made me able to power my device back on!
are you completely on stock or did u flash any rom/kernel?
there are two things i can think about:
you maybe flashed a oced kernel, set it to performance (locked it at 1700ghz quad maybe) and put it on the charger while gaming. if you did that i can imagine that your device just overheated but you should have realized that by holding it in your hands while gaming.
another option is that it's just stuck.
do you have debugging mode enabled? then try if adb can find your device and maybe even kill processes or reboot
other thougt: as long as you don't have twrp as recovery let the battery run down and just plug it on the cherger over night as long as the hardware is allright it should turn on again

Sorry, but what is a oced kernel..? It is possible that it overheated, but i have put it down for 3/4 hours now and still nothing changed..
I have it enabled, but my computer doesn't find my phone anymore so i cant use adb..
And 3rd i do have twrp as recovery, but I don't really get your poin on that. I have to run the battery down, but still put in on the charger over night?
edit: It just went out of battery because the red light stop flashing. Then i put it on a charger and it started flashing again..
now what..
Re: [Q] black screen, flashing red light
On my last HTC device. Flashing red light meant you killed your battery.

You shouldn't have let your battery die when you have TWRP because the recovery doesn't allow you to charge your phone when its dead and that is a known error. Might be time for you to get a batter replacement my friend.
Re: [Q] black screen, flashing red light
something similar happened to me last night only i wasn't gaming and my battery was dead. i plugged it in and turned it on and my system ui stopped. so I reboot to fix but screen went black and lights went off (except for red led) but didn't come back on. tried to turn on with power button but nothing happened. i held power but for longer and got flashing buttons and red led went out. tried again and same but led started flashing.. another try and just got flashing buttons.. gave it a couple minutes and tried again and it came on. battery was @ 0 after boot. i also have twrp

A few days ago my phone got soaked through my pants as I was working in the rain. I came home, dried it out, etc. and tried to turn it on. Wouldn't turn on, so I started charging it. I eventually got it to turn on and it seemed to be working fine except for some reason it said the battery life was at 0 %. Note that it was still working normally otherwise.
I went into recovery, made a backup, and did a factory reset to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't, so I restored the backup. Now the phone won't turn on at all.
When plugged in, it shows the charging battery symbol, and if you hold power to turn the phone on it will sometimes begin to start, but it gets to the boot animation and simply stays there forever (I've left it at the boot animation for several hours to no effect). If I try to boot into recovery it simply does not work; it will either just restart the battery charging animation or boot normally (and then get stuck on the boot animation).
In a last ditch effort, I was going to try to flash a stock ROM from Heimdall. However, I plugged my phone in and tried to enter download mode and was greeted with the error: "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!." This was after charging the phone all night. I then proceeded to charge the phone for another hour then try again, to the same error. And now here I am. It seems the problem is that my phone will charge, and the battery will be full but for some reason the phone doesn't recognize that the battery has a charge, so it just thinks it's at 0%. I've tried a different battery and was unsuccessful. Is there any way that I can either force my phone to enter download mode or somehow get it to recognize the charge on the battery? Or is there some other way I could resolve this? Or is my phone simply gone for good?
I am (was) running a rooted I777 with Slim Bean ROM ( I believe v8) 4.2.
Have you tried using a JIG it can be an option
If a JIG doesn't work you can try removing the battery, then plug the phone to the PC and go to download.
But for me the problem is with the battery. If after flashing the ROM you get the same results, don't think it and BUY A NEW BATTERY.
Good luck.

I has the same problema, I spend two days searching on the web, but i didnt have any idea.., ,y problem is. when we conect to ANY charger (car/wall/PC-USB..) appears on screen a batery logo, but the batery never charged..., I tried to enter to the CW but, the keys combination doesnt make anything on the phone, and without live on it, I cant access to CW..., I wait for 2 hrs, with these cell phone conected to charger to see if the it gone works...
ANYONE has another idea for how we resolve these issue? My phone has a stable version of CyanogenMod..
same with me but what i did was put a different battery in, let it charge for a bit then put the original one in and it only started charging after i used my car charger as i was driving to work so thats how i fixed mine.
Hello, friends
Out of the blue, my S6 Edge tried to restart, but got stuck in a loop at the Samsung Logo. One or two times it went to "insert pin" and then restarted again. I tried to Force Restart and it didn't solve the problem.
After a few tries, I managed to wipe the cache partition. Now it's simply bricked with a black screen and a Solid White LED. I can't restart it, enter download mode or safe mode or anything. Odin doesn't recognize it at all. Is there anything I could try?
The phone is not rooted.

Thank you! Tried it. Doesn't work. It's beyond my understading why would it behave this way after I managed to clear the cache. At least before that it went into download mode or safe mode. I still suspect a software issue.

So vol down + home + power will not get you to download mode?
How about recovery? Vol up + home + power?
This happened to me before and the way i got out of it was hold only vol down + power as soon as the screen went off completely (no led lit) switch to download mode combo.
Tried both of the commands. They didn't work. I will let it drain the battery completely and then see what happens.

reminds me of the bad emmc memory like the note 4s had.
some times completly letting the battery drain can fix it being "stuck". then recharge for 20 min or so then trying to turn on.
if u plug it into pc does it reconize anything in device manager
even unknown device or descriptor failed anythiing at all?
This morning the LED was off, so I tried to recharge it. Nothing happens. Also, the PC doesn't detect it at all. I think it's safe to assume I need a new phone. Too bad...at least if I was able to recover the data on this.

you can thank sammy for no ext sd card for that one or more than likely pics would be on sd
now one last sollution is to try buying a cheap battery my note 5 had a issue it shut of one day and wouldnt do nothing i understand ures was blinkik and trying at least
so its a leap but last resort
same problem here started over a week ago - samsung S6: black screen, constant white led. tried all variations of resetting with buttons. over a year ago i replaced the battery, and its been fine since. when this no boot issued happened i also tried changing the battery to a known good one. on inserting a battery and then pressing the power button the indicator led will go to green for less than a second before changing to constant white, and it stays that way no matter what until the battery is drained or the battery is removed. Strange thing is there is no information from samsung on what this behaviour means, but I've come across dozens of other S6 owners on the web with the same problem, so this is obviously diagnostic behaviour designed by samsung - but no info from samsung. the phone has never been damaged or watered or rooted so I'm at a loss.
Confirmed diagnostics:
The phone will respond to the power button and attempt to turn on
The phone will charge a battery, so the charging circuits and battery circuits are working.
The phone does not get picked up by a Windows 10 PC with Kies installed in any state - other samsung phones get picked up no problem.
Same here
I have the same symptoms. When I hild the vol up+home+pwr I get a green let for 1/2 sec then white. No other combinations do a thing. I swapped the battery for a new one. No luck.
Mine started a few days ago. The phone was 50% charge and i plugged it in for two hours. Came back and it had a solid red led. After a few hours the red light went off. It was then 100% unresponsive. I then took it apart and disconnected the battery. When I reconnected it, it started to do the white let thing described above

I have one that behaves exactly the same I changed the battery and didn't make any difference. my next step is to replace power management chip. I'll let you know.
Any luck on this?
Mine has been like this for a couple months, kind of gave up on it, but decided to give it a go again!
Same problem here, just happend after switching the battery. Anyone have solved this?
I found a kinda solution, plug your charger in and charge past 30% then unplug charger. then use just vol down and power button for 7-10 seconds, after 7-10 seconds just release the power button while still holding vol down button until you see samsung logo, you can tell if you did it wrong by the solid led being back on, repeat until success, once you have it on do NOT press the power button or it will RESET back to solid led/black screen.
I have the same problem with my s6 active and similar story to dbeeheim. Has anyone fixed this? And can anyone confirm that enzo13's solution works?
Much thanks in advance!!
i have same problem!
Suddenly my S6 dead, battery was ~80%, no charge
yesterday i try to change battery, after that if push power button, LED small light comes but in white with purple, then stuck. (it's small Notifications LED)
and i chnge the screen, but no more than white/prople LED.
(no any thing on screen, always black..)
what is the problem?
i think it's battery because it last month didn't work good, and it's old 3years battery.. but no idea..
Hello guys my Samsung S6 sm-g920f has the solid white led and black screen. Really no fixes?
thank you
Same issue
I have the exact same issue. My Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F) suddenly died and won't get past the 'Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android' screen.
I am unable to reach the recovery options. I've tried flashing two different stock ROMs with Odin which succeed but without successfully turning on my phone. I've also tried flashing TWRP with success in Odin but it won't get past the 'Powered by Android' screen before turning off after +-4 seconds. The white LED is on even when the screen is black.
Just had this same issue, my battery died and I forgot to charge my phone overnight, woke up and it would not turn on, black screen. I did manage to replace the battery and do several diagnostic tests on it. My battery was receiving about half the power output it should be (this is normal it's a 4.5yo phone) and when I replaced the battery with a new one, it did not turn on. With wireless charging I can tell I am receiving a charge and with standard I can not. The screen does not indicate it is charging with either method but my wireless charging pad lights up indicating my phone is being charged. I think it may be the processor or screen itself. This really sucks because I lost all my data on my phone and data recovery can be over $500
Hi guys, i have got "shockproof" chinese phone (doogee s60) which died after being dropped on concrete.
Firstly i thought that the battery was unplugged after drop, but everything looks fine.
At this moment i was trying boot it in to the recovery mode (vol +/- +power button) in all possible ways, but every time logo only blinks for a second and it doesnt want to continue booting. just shutnig down after a logo blink. Red diode is also blinking in a certain way. Which means, i guess, that when it's going to show battery charging theme, on shuted off device, it's automaticly turning off.
After few articles im guessing that i have to somehow clear cache partition, But i cant due to the fact i cant boot a phone. I have been trying to detect device with adb/flashtool. Also i was unplugged battery for few hour, and still it's dead.
Now im trying Droid explorer.
I want to boot this Sh*t
