Let me start off by saying that I have searched in every possible place for a solution, and the only option I have left is you guys.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that only turns on for a couple of seconds when connected to my computer or the charger.
The phone is running Slimbean 4.2.1 with Dormiax kernel version 7.46. Today I switched to Dormiax kernel version 8, but my phone would not get passed the samsung logo, so I reinstalled the 7.46 kernel. It was a little buggy during the rest of the day, restarting and ****, and then, all of a sudden, it died.
Now, I am unable to turn my phone on. And yes, I have tried with different batteries (4 to be precise). The only sign of life I get is when i connect it to the charger, then the grey battery icon with a loading circle in it shows up for a couple of seconds, and then the phone goes black for a couple of seconds, and the icon reappear again. I can also make the download mode screen appear, however, this too only shows up for a couple of seconds.
Have anybody experienced something similar? If so, any suggestions on what I can do?

So I've run into quite an annoying problem- I can't install applications from the market. Last night, I had my phone plugged into my computer and I don't THINK I had the SD mounted, but I've been wrong before. Anyways, I went to disconnect it and instead of dismounting then unplugging, I just unplugged. Since then, if I try to download something, the notification bar will show that the app is downloading, for a second, then it just disappears. My phone is rooted, no custom rom though, and I'm not running Apps2SD. Also, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on my computer.
This has happened once before, and I had to tinker with popping my SD card out and rebooting the phone a few different ways before it finally started acting right again. I'm looking for help because 1) I can't remember exactly how I did it and 2) I figured I might as well try to find out if anyone here knows what I could do to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy S Showcase stuck at very first screens
Afternoon guys, I did some browsing and searching and cannot seem to find a way to fix this, so here goes:
Samsung Galaxy S i500, Showcase with Cellular South.
It is rooted, with the original ROM/Kernel.
Yesterday, I was attempting to follow the guide on getting ClockWorkMod on it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860250) and when I finally got the final command to work, the phone rebooted, and has since been doing VERY little.
Power Button = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, No change.
Vol Up/Down + Power = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, word flashes, release power (steps to enter recovery or download), SAMSUNG screen remains. Still no vibrate or anything.
Plug in = Grey battery with "loading" circle with no animation of any kind. It is charging though.
Plug in + Vol for recovery/download mode = still just grey Battery not moving.
In all attempts, I have left it trying for anywhere between 30 mins to 4 hours... I cannot get to anything but those 3 results. (samsung, samsung w/ 1 flash, and grey battery).
If I can get it into Download, I can Odin it, or recovery to reset to factory... but I need to get to one. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download Mode
I had similar situation. Could not get past samsung screen. No splash screen.
Download mode. Pull battery, Plug in USB, hold Vol-. Little guy with shovel.
As for getting back to running. Good luck. I got new warrantied phone couldn't figure out how to fix after soft brick.
hey,,
My G tab suddenly stopped working yesterday. It wouldn't turn on, however, the charging indicator gets lit when connected.
It suddenly crashed and shut down while I was browsing. When I tried to boot it, it would just keep displaying the vegan logo on the startup. I tried to turn it off and on back again but it wouldn't turn on again.
I should note that the last thing I was doing was installing Skyfire browser and Inbrowser, the latter from Amazon appstore. Which is the browser I was using.
The tablet had about 5-10% battery left (I wanted to link it but unfortunately I cant). It has been connected to the charger but it seems it wouldn't boot nor the battery indicator to turn green. (Edit: It seems after almost 9 hours the indicator is green now)
Also, about an hour before the incident, I was able to reboot it successfully.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance
I bought my SG3 last Saturday and after 2-4 hours I proceeded to rooting and installing a custom rom. Because of this I'm not sure if the problem is with the phone (The problem didn't appeared on the first 2-4 hours before root) itself or originated after the root.
The phone freezes after the screen dims and turns completely unresponsive neither pressing buttons or the screen seem to work, the only workaround is to press the power button until it turns off and powers again. The problem does not always happens, sometimes it even happens when charging, and when it get disconnected from the power source the red led stays on.
Have you experienced something similar??
What do you suggest?
I have tried some stock roms with no luck, even tried Telcel stock rom (since Iusacell stock rom is not available yet see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790445).
So I rooted my phone 3 months ago. Using the external 64g card trick and everything went perfect.
Had SU installed, and titanium running.
January 1st my phone battery died while riding home on my motorcycle or was close. I had it on the charger when it died. The phone went into a reboot mode. It has the battery, with the circle in the middle and vibrating every few seconds.
I can get into the recover mode when plugged into the samsung wall charger. But I can only get into download mode on usb with computer.
Using odin 3 v3.09.
I loaded it up with the jflte_usa_vzw_16g.pit file in the pit section.
Then loaded up all_i545vruemk2_i545vzwemk2_1937946_rev06_user_low_ship_muti_cer.tar.md5 in the AP section
Thinking the above would be the most up to date. I'm traveling and need the phone and not worried about root anymore.
So it went through the md5 checking. Good
Then without changing any other settings I hit start.
13 minutes later, I get a reset above the id:com
I let it go with out touching the phone.
Then it gives me a pass without any errors.
So I unplugged my phone off the usb cable, pull the battery. Reinstall after 30 seconds. Nothing.
I plug into the usb and it goes back to battery icon and circle like nothing happened.
I can get into download on usb to computer
And recovery only on wall charger
I did try a factory reset and cache reset
Looked like it worked
But phone unchanged.
I then tried the kies firmware and initialization mode.
Loaded up my sch-i545 then my IMEI,
It conects, downloads, installs, finishes, no errors
Unplug and dead, plug in usb, battery icon and circle,
Plug to wall, recover mode,
So phone seems like its taken both updates without errors. But acts unchanged.
Would the vibration from my handle bar mount cause a sudden issue? I've been running this set up for months without issue.
I'm at a loss. I read is you can get it into download mode it should be able to get recovered.
Tried all I know and have read about.
So now with phone plugged into the samsung wall charger.
I went to download mode, selected re-start
Phone booted,
Samsung, unlocked padlock
Samsung blue purple splash screen. (Blue led light)
Verizon screen almost fully loaded (blue led light)
Then phone shuts off, goes back to battery icon with circle.

did you ever find a solution for this? This seems like the exact same problem I am having with my phone. Everything was working until it lost power. Now the power button will not turn device on. It will only turn on when connected to usb computer or wall charger and just shows an empty battery sign. It seems to reboot every 15 seconds from this. If I go into download mode and chose restart phone it gets to the white verizon loading screen and reboots. I can get to both download and recovery mode and flashed the stock full wipe and PIT file and this process succeeded but the phone is still doing the same thing.

My i545 is a similar phenomenon.
I am afraid to say, that as far as I know, with the Knox bootloader, it disallows any upgrading what so ever. I have heard of this bricking devices. The only way out of this is to see if you can reflash the most current ROM, but I am unsure if even that will work.
It's several months now that my Bluetooth refuses to turn on on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 running 4.4.2 stock rooted.
It used to work fine, then one day it just died. The icon in the notification bar turns dark grey, then few seconds in it just turns back grey.
I tried several things, but no use, it never turned on. I'd resort to factory reset but I'm stuck abroad for many more months, without a pc, and that'd be trouble.
I attached a log I found. Can anyone tell me what's going on from it? What possibilities can I try?
