Hi my brother's phone died, he was taking photo and it freeze, he removes battery then he tries to turn on phone and it was stuck on samsung logo, he removes battery again and now is dead.
Even with another battery doesn't work.
His battery works fine on another gs2.
The phone was with stock Gingerbread rom
Now when plugged in with charger or usb it start to overheating and pc can't see nothing in device manager
Anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks for the answer and sorry for my english
*EDIT* I just read the post again and realised it was GB. Sorry, i didn't read that and thought it could be eMMc which hangs around in 4.0.4 (ICS)
I apologize for this mistake

Not rooted? Claim Warranty
Rooted? Can get into DL mode? Recovery? I guess not. Claim warranty.
I'm looking for warranty,phone is italian and my brother is in uk i contact samsung service uk for information about that.
I have bill/invoice of his phone july/august 2011 don't remeber, warranty is 24 month right?

Today received an upgrade sms on my Samsung Vibrant. Unsuspecting any trouble I accepted the download and installation. The installation screen was unusual, - white progress bar in a blue box. When it was done the phone literally DIED. Black screen, pressing buttons does not have any response. The phone would not even power up for me to be able to do any of the fixes. It is completely DEAD. Any solution to my problem? (Except throwing it into the dumpster)

TMO's OTA bricked your phone, they may have some responsibility. Check with you local retailer.
This might help. It was posted in another thread
To get in to download mode
1. Make sure battery is out.
2. Plug usb in to computer
3. Put batter in(DO NOT POWER ON)
4. Hold vol. up AND vol. down
5. Plug usb into phone.
That should bring you in to download mode. Maybe something something wrong with the update and thats why it wont boot? Maybe the phone just wigged out and thats why it wont boot... but if you can get it in to download mode, from ther eyou can go to stock with odin.
The same thing happened to me. I called TMo, they ask the normal questions...
Was it rooted
Did you install a lag fix
Did you install any 3rd party firmware
They shipped me a replacement
Complain and get free shipping
Nothing works, it seems that no power is being fed to the circuits.
I wander if USB JIG will work?
the usb jig wont work, I tried it a couple of times... it just doesnt do anything at all...
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Dead after Official Upgrade
I had upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (T-Mobile T959) using the official software (Kies Mini) and after the progress bar reached 100%, the phone completely died.
Now it won't even go into Download Mode. Won't charge, won't even blink a tiny bit. I think, it's completely dead.
Any ideas, fixes will be much appreciated.

Well if you purchased the phone from T-mobile or an authorized t-mobile retailer new T mobile is at fault here. Provided you haven't rooted or done anything software wise to ruin the warranty you are fine. contact t-mobile tech support and they will send you a new phone as your phone was rendered useless after an official update by samsung and t-mobile.

Problem??? Because it drops to 99% after you unplug the charger??? That's way within the tolerances of the charge circuit. The real question is what kind of battery life are you getting?
FWIW, My stock T-Mobile SGS-III (i.e. dual core Snapdragon S4) often displays 99% when I unplug the charger. However, it's inconsequential as I get a full day of service from this battery

Well thank you man i thought i was the only one having this problem but fortunatly my phones can last a full and sometimes more than a day.Have a nice day.
Mine still stays on 100% approx an hour later. I.use to have that problem, u need to use different kernel like phenomenal 2.0 or siyah 1.5 beta3

Weird
Hmm that's weird, cause mine doesn't jump to 99% when i unplug charger (on stock firmware)
What firmware are you using now ?
If I were to unplug my phone and not touch it or wake it up it would be on 100% for 1.5 hours.
samsung made it like this to prevent overcharging well it was on S2
Happens to me as well, i've assumed it's just the battery fuel gage calibration being a bit off, and that's likely what it really is. This doesn't really matter, the fuel gage isn't very precise anyway, by design, so who cares.
This is not a problem.
The battery meter is reset everytime your phone charges to 100%.
Unplugged and checked an hour later and still at 100%...stock non rooted.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Its supposed to do that to prevent overcharging or so I've heard but if you leave it plugged in for quite a while, it should stick at 100%.
Mine used to display 99%, but since a recent OTA update, it now stays on 100% once unplugged. Samsung must have altered it. Im on Stock Rom.

Galaxy S3 on TMO
Hi.
My S2 Which is one month out of warranty , got hard bricked 2 days back. These were the series of events that led to it.
1)The battery got drained and the phone got switched off.
2) I plugged in the charger..phone boots...a minute later..it got switched off.
3) The phone does nothing... Black screen..can't get into recovery or download mode. :crying:
I took it to samsung service center ...they told me that it would cost me app 200$ to replace the motherboard.I have tried all methods that I came across in this forum and still nothin'. Have ordered for the Usb jig on ebay.
Please let me know if I should go ahead with mobo replacement or is there a cheaper alternative?? Any help is much appreciated guys
btw.. the phone was rooted and I think it was on Stock Ics XXXLPQ rom .

Sorry about that.
I know this is not the answer to your question but please provide answer to this question:
Were also running a custom kernel? if yes, please post the name of the kernel.
Hi everyone,
When I went to use my phone yesterday i thought it was locked but found I couldn't unlock it.
I tried holding down power, removing battery and charger and I wasn't having any luck.
First question is: should the phone power on with battery removed but charger in? That would help to diagnose a battery/contact issue.
Second question is given its been rooted should I still take it to Samsung for repair? I imagine they won't know its rooted until they fix it or give me a new phone. Will they then charge me? Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be great.
Its the international variant running some close to stock ROM without O/C and didn't have any firmware/ROM changes in the last week or so.
Look here... It seems that you are not alone...

Hi, I have a galaxy s2 in what i believe is hard brick mode. A little backstory, i was watching some stuff online when i noticed the battery bellow 35%. So i pluged it to the usb charger. I left it there for like 20 minutes. When i came back, i unlocked the phone only to see tons of "error" messages and the force close window. Apperently it had to force close /system?... I was puzzled so i just pulled the battery off and on and tried turning it in. Stuck at the welcome screen. I tried ro acces recovery mode. The android icon was "dead" and some error messeges appeared in red, unable to mount /system, invalid argument. I turned it off, but the welcoming screen poped up without me touching anything. I left it for a few minutes. Then i pulled the battery off for a few minutes too. When i tried to turn it on again, the phone was dead. Nothing works, i tried:
Pressing the power button for a minute
Download mode
Recovery mode
Leaving the battery out for hours
Leaving it charging for hours
Nothing. Im stunned, mainly because i never rooted it or touched anything. Im desesperated at this point, any help will be great. I abused google and made tons of search, but everything related to my problem has to do with flashing and rooting failures. Which i never did with my phone.
If you've never messed with it, and assuming it hasn't expired time-wise, send it in for warranty service. If you don't have warranty, try another battery just in case, then try a jig. Then start looking for JTAG repairers (assuming it can be JTAG'd), and if it can't, take it to local mobile repair shops & have them take a look at it. If they can't/won't fix it, then send it to Samsung/authorised repairer.
I think i voided the guarranty by updating the phone to ICS a few months back... Im trying the battery swap now.

It depends on how he upgraded to ics, if he did from an official update then is ok, but if he flashed a leaked or a custom rom based on ics then no more warranty if he can't flash the original samsung rom
Already tried changing batteries, didnt work...
You know what to do next then.
I still dont understand the cause of the brick, my phone is dead and it wont even charge. This is bogling my mind. And yeah im an adroid noob, this my first smartphone.
