I have an old S2 running wananm's JB ROM which until recently, could not boot up all of a sudden. It just gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII logo with the yellow triangle on it. I did a factory reset and it worked after that, until a month later where I am having the exact same problem. This time I fulll wiped it and flashed NeatROM Lite 4.4 on it, but now the phone stucks in boot loop at the samsung boot up animation. Pulling out the battery and putting it back results in the previous issue where it gets stuck at the Galaxy SII black screen with yellow triangle. I boot into recovery and did one more factory wipe, but this time it goes back to being stuck with a boot loop.
Any ideas whats wrong? The phone is pretty old, could it be dying? Before all this happened I did not do any modifications to the phone like flashing new mods, scripts, OC, UV..etc
Flash a official stock firmware from sammobile.
After this root and flash Rom again.
PS: Check ur downloads and if u have the correct Rom for ur phone version (i9100/i9100p/etc)

I already flashed the stock ROM via odin. It is now unrooted. Been using it for a week and the issue just happened again. I now realised that it only happens when I attempt to replace the battery. I have two packs, both are official, one that came with the phone and another which I ordered online. After shutting the phone down, remove the old battery, put in the new one, attempt to boot up, it just gets stuck at the Samsung screen. The only solution is to do a full wipe. Could it be some sort of corruption?
Sure it can.
So if it only happens with it, it maybe corrupt in itself or maybe it's not directly for ur phone/android version etc....
So just don't use it, but that for u have a full working phone

Yeah it might not be android related, but it still is strange.. And I don't believe it'stthe battery screwing it up either. I'll try rooting it and see if it manages to boot up. If not I'll go back to an ICS ROM and see how it goes. Because I only notice all this happening ever since flashing JB. I hope it lasts til July so I can trade it in for the S4.

I have an international version of the Samsung GS2 that i am using on At&t. A few weeks ago i noticed that my phone would suddenly turn off while in my pocket or just left alone. Then, one time i tried turning on the phone and saw that the phone got stuck on the boot animation screen with blue markings all around it. I took out the battery and put it back in a few times and was finally able to get the phone to work.
Today, the same thing happened. The phone turned off i tried to restart it and it got stuck on the boot animation screen (Galaxy S logo). It has these blue markings around it and it can't get past it. The phone isn't rooted and i have not tampered with the system files. I've only updated it once, from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I tried factory resetting it but nothing changed and its still has the same problem.
I have a suspicion that it might be caused by the fact that i've dropped the phone a few times. What do you guys think could be the problem and what are my choices in getting it fixed? Would flashing a stock rom help fix the problem?
I would suggest flashing the Stock Rom Through Odin as i once has an issue with massive yellow streaks kind of like what you are getting after a flash before.
I went ahead and flashed a few roms from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. The flashing worked fine but it still can't get past the bootup screen and the blue marks are still there.
Would calling Samsung and asking for support get me anywhere?
How long did you wait after flashing the rom? The worst way you could have messed up is by choosing the wrong files in Odin. Did u check that again?

I flashed the rom and rebooted and saw that it was still the same. Does it matter which rom i chose? I tried two or three different roms from the thread. I though they were all stock roms...
i am hoping that i did not brick my phone as i just spent $600 to go get the bloody thing. i flashed darkcore kernel onto it and it was fine. the phone was fine until i went to go change the battery icon (the phone is a samsung i9000 galaxy s) it boots into recovery but when i go to do a normal boot it littraly freezes at the boot screen and thats it i left it on the table for HALF AN HOUR and when i came back it was still on the boot screen . the boot screen says galaxy s gt-i9000 (white writing) powered by darkcore and darkysrom (green writing) please help me i hope i have no bricked my phone as i am a noob to android as i have only had my phone a few days. do i need to replace the modem on the phone ? or the kernel? please if someone knows to get in contact with me. i have odin and superoneclick installed on my pc. i have wiped everything off my phone wipe data/factory reset but that doesnt do anything diffrent. it simply stays on the boot screen. i have not flashed a custom rom onto my galaxy it only has a custom kernel.

OK it is simple really. What did you do when it started causing issues? You tried to change the icon, so undo your changes. You didn't say how you tried to change it at all so not sure what steps you have to take. Also please do the proper research before you do something that can't be fixed

Android phones are REALLY REALLY hard to brick. what you need to do, is get yourself a factory default rom, and start over where you messed up. Messing with these phones is all trial and error. I have bricked my samsung fascinate over 30 times im sure, hell almost 10 times last night as im porting miui v4 to my phone. Dont freak out learn what ODIN is, and get it fixed.

Not all android phones are hard to brick. Take a look at the SGS II and the Euro Note that were perm bricked from a wiping data. No JTAG recovery would fix it. Also there are many ways to brick a device and as you recovered it. You didnt brick it. Bricking it makes it non recoverable except by Jtag. Too many people use this word wrong.
On a side note... Why would you spend 600 dollars on that phone?
Samsung problems
i really have no idea why i spent so much on it lol and i used the android app "DarkyODA" i think it was i flashed CwM DarkCore v3.0.2.8x kernel onto it via DarkyODA and it was fine after that but until i went to change the battery icon on the DarkyODA app then i went to reboot my phone and now its stuck at the boot screen i left it on overnight on the boot screen to see if it would reboot got up in the morning and it still was on the boot screen, i can get into the recovery menu but thats about it, i have been trying to find a stock kernel and rom for my phone but i simply cannot find one (build number xwjvp), i think its the battery icon thats making the phone freeze at the boot screen ive done a full system wipe but that didnt fix it, and i cannot remove the icon as i installed it on the darky app (which i cannot access as i cannot get past the boot screen), do i need to flash a stock rom and kernel or just a stock rom ? do you reckon that would fix my phone ? as i do not want to go and spend another $450 to get samsung to fix it (lol) i have odin 1.85 and i went to go flash voodoo kernel xwjvp v1.3 through odin but it got stuck half way through............
ok so i was running 4.0.3 with no problem until i decided to update to 4.1.2, so after updated finished with no errors i booted the device
the galaxy s2 logo appears the BLACK SCREEN
no boot animation
what i have tried
return to 4.0.3
wipe data
use custom recovery that matches the os version
us custom recovery to format all the partitions
flash using pit file
different version of odin
and thats pretty much all
now even when i return to 4.0.3 it stil wont boot, please help
If the phone won't boot & PC/phone don't recognise each other in Odin, you're pretty much boned. Possibly JTAG, if not service centre (or local mobile shop if no warranty).
it goes into download mode, and recovery, and it boots up, but after the SGS2 logo i get a black screen on any firmware, even gingerbread
and i can still flash using odin and cwm
If it were me, I'd keep trying Odin flashes (even trying random stock roms); often in these situations the first 6 flashes don't work but the 15th actually fixes the problem (I'm using these numbers as an example) for whatever reason.
That's the only way you're fixing it, unless the NAND is borked, which you won't be able to fix. Try Hopper8's 'Odin won't work' thread, there's stuff in there which might help.

Hey this is exactly what happened to my phone, I flased stock 4.1.2, it was working fine but somehow freezing randomly. So I installed latest cwm hoping to fix the freezing problem, the boot animation won't show up after the logo, though I can hear from the speaker sound of the boot animation, and the screen won't seem like turning on (touch buttons not lighting up). Any luck on fixing this problem?
it turns out its was the usb data cable connector, surprised. i dont even know what one has to do with the other, anyways, i had it replaced and it works perfectly

Well I re-flashed the stock android 4.1.2 using odin, and everything got back to normal, the screen is working again. Though the phone is still freezing randomly, even after a couple of minutes after booting the phone. However I'm glad to get my phone with the screen working again!
hello everyone, my stock s6 edge on rogers is stuck in a boot loop all of a sudden, fully stock and unmodded, running 5.0.2. i was just walking and listening to music through bluetooth headphones and all of a sudden it stopped, and i looked at my phone and it was rebooting. so i just waited and its still stuck in a boot loop after an hour. it gets to the lock screen sometimes, and then after like a second or 2 just reboots again. i have not tinkered or have done anything to my phone either, and had no issues with random reboots ever, so i have no idea what could have happened
some extra info, when it reboots it doesnt always go to the galaxy s6 edge screen, it sometimes just shows the samsung logo with the animation. i have also tried to wipe cache and that didnt work either. after a few reboots however the stock theme was applied at some point. also i tried booting into safe mode and that also didnt work.
i really dont want to wipe my phone, but i will if it is absolutely necessary. so if anyone has any other suggestions that i can try out it will be very much appreciated!
thanks!

I have had said problem before under the same circumstances (although it was with a different phone)
Try using Odin to install the stock Firmware.
A thread explaining how is right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If you don't want the firmware listed in that thread, download from Sammobile.
While some users say it does not wipe the phone, it wipes every time I use it
If this does not work, you should get a warranty replacement.

Thank you for the reply!
weird thing is it fixed itself .. few hours after it started it just booted back up and didnt reboot again, and has been running fine for the past couple hours. but if this happens again i will know what to try next time
Ok, first up I know there are many posts out there about this issue because I've looked at most of them and tried them so please bear with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-N8010, about 4 years old. I have never rooted or done anything to the firmware in all that time except OTA updates & the occasional factory reset to clean things up.
Couple of months ago it was on, i had been using it and put it down and when i came back it was on the Samsung logo screen and has been ever since.
Since i could get into the download page even though it was already bricked I figured i'd try rooting to see if i could fix the problem. Now possibly i should have attempted to get into recovery mode first but I attempted to install CWM (as per posts here). It appeared to install fine. But no recovery partition, screen blinks and goes back to the logo.
I've tried flashing stock firmware, TWRP, CWM - all 'appear' to install successfully according to ODIN, but nothing changes, still stuck on the logo screen.
So does this sound like a hardware issue or am i missing something? The Tab A 10.1 with s-pen looks great, would be a perfect replacement, but is not available in NL
Thanks guys (& gals)
