Hi folks,
Yesterday my phone was weird: The home button was opening a different page than the launcher (a sort of launcher with a clock and buttons, and when I tapped "escape" it drives to the official launcher), and some functions weren't working (such as the rotate toggle). Looked like something was updated, but a reset was needed.
Then I reseted the device and then it went to the ODIN mode with the green robot and the message "downloading, don't turn off target". It took too long. Like more than 4 hours. I left the device plugged in charger and went to bed.
Today I found the device turned off (probably the updated ended) and I can't boot. Actually nothing happens, no button combination, etc.
I tried to pull off the battery and put it back again, nothing happened.
I tried a soft wipe (hold the ON button for 7 seconds without the battery), nothing happened.
Could someone please help?
So....what firmware was installed originally? which rom did you try to install? It's all in the details. Oh, and which model Galaxy S2 do you have?

I didn't try to install anything.
I was using the latest verision of my country stock rom (The carrier is Claro). The update was automatically, I didn't choose to do that.
The model is I9100GT
Get, buy, borrow another full battery or external charger to charge your dead battery.
If out still won't boot:
try boot into recovery and factory reset
Or
Boot into download mode and flash firmware downloaded from here.

Edit: look for only G model firmware.
If none there, use check fus for windows to find and download firmware for your device, then flash in Odin.

I had a similar problem with a kies flash before. If it will go at least into download mode when a charger (not just a USB from a computer) is connected, your battery might be completely flat. try charging it in another phone.
Here is my panic thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22408184#post22408184
Hi Folks,
Thank you very much for the replies.
Now the cell phone is working. I guess that the charger went broke during the night (I have no idea why). I connected via USB and then I heard a sound, after that it went back to the upgrade screen (odin), and I reseted.
Now its working and I have no idea of what happened.
so why in hell would you leave your phone to download mode for night.

Hi. i have got my s2 since 10 months and no hassle. however since yesterday, the screen wont turn off and i could not make it turn on again using the home key. finally it completely switch off and i could not switch it on(neither soft or hard reset helped).
I just left in with the wall charger. nothing on the screen but once the battery was full, it vibrated and i could switched it on. it worked flawlessly for the day but now while i was using gtalk, same thing happened and i could not switched it on.
what could be the problem? i am an international user and bought the s2 from unlocked-mobile.com.
kindly note that i made no tweaking nor any custom firmware nor installed any new software. i only reecntly removed go launccher.
kindly help me please
if download mode works then u can flash ,or in recovery mode factory wipe.....yes forgot does it show charging batt icon ,wile charging?
Charge battery .

That fails try another battery .
That fails try Samsung service centre .
Or try download mode and flash new stock firmware via Odin .
jje
ok will try flashing ics. but why would this happen? what is the cause of such problem?
ok i did flash the ics and still the same problem. help me plz
Sounds suspiciously like the "Sleep of Death". Been discussed at length in dozens and dozens and dozens of threads here.
thanks. but why suddenly i am having this?
i have not installed any new kernel, firrmware or programs.
I dont understand why people with stock not rooted phones comes here and thinks this is samsung service, since it is purely stock..go to the retailer or call samsung.

Hi, I have Galaxy s 2 i9100. When i was looking in my facebook app and then Flipboard app the phone just shutdown in my hands. I had 60 or 70 % batery left and when i tryed to turn in on it just booted to the AOKP rom of 4.2.2 boot logo after the galaxy s2 logo and didnt wanted to boot in to the rom.I forgot my origina charger and charget the phone trought a nokia data cable from the USB 3.0 and i dont know is my batery or the software. I turned the device whaile charging it with the other USB 2.0 but my laptop running Windows 8 Pro Says Uknown device and shuts down the power to the USB and the phone just shuts even when i managed to boot it to the starting setupe screen of the oficial Samsung rom-4.1.2 after flashing it with Odin 1.85. And still doesnt work. While the device is turned off and charging it i ( i had only the nokia usb/data cable) the batery indicator says the battery is full but turning it it says its only 9% full. Ok i whaited it turnned off and charging it still saying its full for a 3-4 hours and when i turned it on it said it have 99% battery olmoust full, but it still had the problem when the usb is turned off it shutsdown... I flashed it again to the stok official rom i got the rom ( that is 2.3.4) and after that the same problem. I left the phone for a day without a battery out side the phone and tryed it with my original charger ( when i got home ) and starts the batery-loading- shutsdown- after 3 times self turning selft shutngdown it boots`s its self to the recovery menu.I tryed reboot phone---nothing, again to recovery. Ttied full wipe full chache clean ( dont have the dalvic clean or battery statts clean in the original recovery) and again nothing, again it boots to the recovery and stays there for ever. Turning off the charger of the device after cleaning everything it cannot even turn at any logo not to talk forr the rom. I need help becouse i dont know should i buy a new battery or a new motherboard for my s2 ( That is Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 16GB 1.2GHz CPU. And the rom i had was AOKP milestone 2 with Android 4.2.2 i think, very lite on apps.) Thanks in advance.
Seems like a battery problem. Soon as flipboard came on it died.? Flip uses a lot of power so that may have bin the last straw for the battery. Did you notice any problems before this happened? Go to a local phone shop and ask to test a battery.
Don`t know did i mentioned but on charger the phone boots and after 3 flashes of battery charging logo going on and off it boots to recovery and if i remove the cable ( charger or usb) the phone stays on for ever. But it must be plugged to make it go to either recovery or download , but only in download mode if i remove the cable the phone shuts down instantly.
Have no success in rooting, flashing, clearing roms and nothing, I even tried the galaxy s2 usb jig for reseting the flash counter to give it for a repair in a warranty, but still with no luck.
Hopefully wiping cache and factory reset under the factory recovery will let it boot

Does any one read the first post. i all ready did that with the 2 stok recoverys the come from official samsung s2 rom for my country with android 2.3.6 and 4.1.2
Test with new or borrowed battery and see if it stays on. Take it to a local shop and ask nicely to try one out. I'm sure they won't mind to just test. If it stays on great news. Before you go to the shop Put neatrom 4.1.2 on an ext SD and philz kernel also a cm rom +gapps and try and flash one or the other while your in the shop. If all is well and it works pay for the battery and smile if it doesn't stay on then you may want to look while you're in the shop for a new phone.
hi guys
so my galaxy s3 has had a faulty conector since ive had it. but yesterday when i went to flash stock rom as i wanted to clean the device etc it stopped half way through odin process and now it doesnt boot obvieously. the thing is now the phone conector seems to be completely broken as it wont connect for more than maybe 10 seconds at the start but now nothing at all but it does still charge. ive bought an original samsung cable brand new and still same result.
any ideas of a way to get my phone working again? it seems odin wiped my recovery in 10 seconds which sucks....

Can you still get into download mode and does odin recognize it?
If not you will very likely need a jtag or take it into a service center.
Try replacing the usb port first, flashing anything on a phone with a broken port can corrupt the partition -which is what happened to you.

If the phone boots you could use mobile Odin but in your case,repairing the connector is the right way.
