[q] very weird problem please help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I need help with a problem. Frist of all say i had a rooted galaxy with omega rom, philz kernel i think.
Y was using my phone (it ran out of battery but didnt turn off) so i plugged it. It said it had 0% soy i left it and a few minutes later i realised it had turn off. I tried turning it on but it went on bootloop. Tried removing battery but nothing.
So i went to the recovery and wiped data. It turned on perfectly. i then installed DisasterRom and perfect. I restored my backup with titanium and all perfect. after this, there was an update on the SU app so i updated and gave me the choice to update de binary source or something similar so i said yes and the phone turned off. It had gone bootloop again, but this time i cant get to the recovery.
If someone can help me i would really apreciate it.
Thanks

[SGS2] Flashing Problem/Brick

Hi all,
so i just start and describe my problem. My Friend asked me to root his phone and flash RR 2.7. So far i did this with 5 phones be4 (s2 and s3)
He had ICS (4.04) with the buildnumber XXLQ6, so i took for rooting purposes this one CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5, because i couldn't find LQ6.
Ofc i did it with odin and everything went according to plan. After the restart phone was rooted and i had access to CWM.
I rebooted into Recovery Mode and Wiped everything icluding battery stats and dalvik. Then i selected the RR 2.7 zip and the Installation went smoothly. After that i wiped everything again before rebooting and also did the "fix permissions" thing in the adv settings.
Reboot and Phone stayed off no recovery or download mode.
I guess it is bricked and i wonder did i something wrong? Phone getting back to repair i hope warranty will cover it.
Thanks for Replies
Have you tried charging it? Perhaps the batter was too low and the flashing took all the juice. Happened to me once on a Droid3
no i dont think so I tried though. the phone had the original bigger battery and had 65% before flashing. no I am afraid ti flash ever again...
I quess you can try a USB jig to get into download mode, maybe the 3 button combo is out of order.
the device dead now and there is no way to relief it :crying:

My friend bricked his, went to our local service center and told them that the phone died on him after installing an app from the play store, worked like charm

Phone wont turn on! Need help asap!

Hey there. I took a loan of my mums phone but I needed to unlock it so I went to root it.
I got Odin and it passed fine, and when I went to reboot, it said it was downloading and not to turn off. But it went on for ages so I presumed it froze so I turned the phone off and back on.
Now the phone wont turn on.
When turned off it charges fine, the charging symbol comes up and all but when I turn it on the screen goes black and nothing happens.
It's connected to USB and sounds like it gets picked up but I can't see it in my computer.
Can anybody help me and tell me how to fix this? I want to fix it before I have to give it back to her.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT
BTW I can still get into the CWM I think its called recovery menu. I'm pretty sure the phone was rooted, it just wont start up correctly.
I tried wiping dalvik cache, restoring to factory settings and fixing permissions, nothing fixed the issue however
This is the tutorial I followed: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I'm guessing since I can access recovery and download modes it's not that bad, I just need to install something else some how? Any ideas?
Restore any back up ..hope you have one..
GT I9100
Neat Rom lite v4.4
Hirox 5.1 medium
hope it helps

once again.. if it your first rooting process then you need to unlock the bootloader.. use CF-root by chainfire..
Not quite. The bootloader on the SGS2 isn't locked.
You need a rooted kernel which has busybox & SU. CFRoot does, but you can also flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with the Android version of the stock rom you're running to achieve the same result, I.E a rooted phone.
Man...that's 2 threads I've read in the last 5 minutes where people are having problems with their phones after following advice from Galaxys2root.com.....is it coincidence?

I9100 reboot loop, problem whith network, it is a brick ?

Hi everyone,
First, please excuse me for my bad english
So, I'm here because I have a really big problem with my Samsung I9100.
Indeed, I will explain my problem. I installed the SENTINEL ROM 5.00 a few month ago, and I never had a problem before.
But yesterday, I don't know why, I have so much problem with my Network, (My friends haven't the same problem and we have the same operator, it's Orange)
So, I don't understood why I had this kind of problem. After a few minutes, my GS 2 shut down...
I tried to boot but It had no effect !! I fall in a reboot loop, whith no home screen.
After a panic I try so much solution :
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, reboot. Same problem ! Sometimes, I can access to the menu, but a few minute after, it shut down again.
I tried to restore an official firmware, no effect, He can't load, he is blocked with "Samsung animation boot".
I tried to restore with a ROM (Rootbox 3.91), no effect too, I can access temporary to my message, and after a few minutes, he shut down !
Sometimes, I just click in the home button (The only button), and it shut down !
I observed now, it can't book if I don't connect it to the alimentation's cable.
Really, I'm so lost, I understand nothing. Especially, I didn't do something special to make this...
If someone can help me...
Thanks !

Thanks, I will try this, but my sometimes, my USB port of my I9100 has so much problem with the connexion.
Could you give me a link for a stock rom please ?
Thanks mate.
It sounds like you would get into recovery-mode?
Do you have an ClockworkModRecovery?
Can you make a nandorid backup with the recovery?
Do you have an older Recovery you could restore without too much data-loss?
Is the battery ok? Can you start your Phone if you connect it with the charger? If yes I would recommand to backup as many iportant data as possible.
I'm running sentinelRom 5.0 too and I have no problems.

Hi Baerlinaer, thanks to answering me.
I had no problem with SentinelRom 5.0 since few month, but yesterday I don't know why, I have so much problem in the same time.
I can access to the recovery mod, and I restore my back up since the recovery mode. I tried to restore 3 differents ROM.
I don't know if the battery is OK cause in the screen, I have 100% but when I disconnect the alimentation's cable. It shut down ! And I can boot but after the first boot animation, It shut down !
I don't care about my data really, it's nice but I just wanna recover my phone with all his fonctionnality !
I alrealdy make a backup !
I am very lost cause I don't know why it do that :/
Can you start the phone withe the cable plugged in but without the battery?
Couse if you can, it is the Battery. I had such a Problem with a Laptop once. The Battery was broken and it rebootet after a few seconds or minutes. I tried everything, to recover it and then I took out the Battery and it run perfectly well.

[Q] [SOLVED] Phone works only in recovery/download mode.

Hi. My phone is behaving kinda weird since yesterday. Suddenly it turned off, and when I was trying to power it on it was turning off after Samsung Galaxy S2 boot logo, or after carrier splash (I was running full stock without any root or modifications).
When I plugged in the charger it was randomly showing 2 battery status (sometimes empty, sometimes correct one). Stock recovery mode and download was working fine, it could run on it forever, without reseting.
I decided to install custom recoveries. First time I tried with Philz's one. Same results, battery indicator shows correct value. CWM - working fine. TWRP - working fine, but battery status sometimes points 1% (but it won't turn off), sometimes correct one.
I've also tried flashing new brand ROM through Odin 1.85 and Philz recovery (here I used SlimKat). In both cases the booting errors was the same.
Does anybody have any solution how I can fix it?

Edit: Sorry, gave a wrong answer
Now you have a custom recovery, you might want to try wiping dalvik, cache and data....then try to boot as normal......
If that doesn't work, then you might want to try formatting the memory partitions under "mounts and storage", re flashing the ROM and then try to boot normally.......
This might be my S2 or it might be my W, but it's definitely CM...
I think its battery problem..if some one has same battery put it in your mobile and then try...if it works fine then buy a new battery..

Yes, I checked it 2 days ago. It was battery fault (phone was overheating because of games, and somehow it has an impact on battery).

[Q] URGENT Trying to Root my note 3 but now my phone wont boot out of odin mode.

This is urgent because its my brothers note 3. I have my own personal Note 3 that is rooted with custom rom and works perfectly. I tried simply rooting his phone via odin but now the phone wont boot. I power cycle and the samsung logo flashes and it takes me to odin mode. in big red letters at the top of the screen it says Could not normal boot. Please help me!
Try removing the back and pulling the battery out for a few seconds. Then replace all and reboot. I've used this trick when nothing else works and see other comments where this helped with a stuck reboot.

I actually resolved the issue by downloading the latest stock rom and reflashing it. Luckily i didnt lose any data.
Not sure why the root didnt work though since it did on mine.
