my name is steve from the Netherlands. i have a galaxy s2 i9000 and i had a gingerbread OS on the phone. But the problem is as following: i did an update via ODIN 3 with a update of JELLYBEAN. i connected everything well and in Odin it begun with the update of JellyBean. I saw no progressing bar during the update and it taked a several hours. Then i decided to break down the update by pulling out the usb cable from my phone. Since then my phone shows no life at all. With the procedures as kwown with tehe vol/power buttons nothing happens. The phone does not even charge and when i plug the phone via usb in my pc nothing happens. I tried now everything yet but no sign of life.
My question is: is there a solution to bring the phone to life?
Please help me.
Steve
check if your battery has some charge or not, then try a JIG. install the correct drivers and follow a odin flash tutorial. The update dont last more than 10 minutes

I9000 is NOT S2, there's your problem. Check the model of your phone, and if you're sure it's I9000, then go to Galaxy S section of the forum. If it's I9100 or I9100G or something else like that, then make sure you're flashing something compatible with it. For example, flashing an I9100 ROM on a I9100G phone, that's just wrong! Oh and please try to read more before you flash, you probably could've evaded all of this if you read more thoroughly

i have a problem with my galaxy s2 exactly like this: got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.
When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.
With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.
The power button is not stuck.
It's not rooted: cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.
I fully charged my battery. No change
I drained my battery to 0%. No change
I tried another battery. No change.
Well i thing i should Re-flash a Bootloder or install another one, is there any idea how to do that throw ODIN1.85 Please please please help me im just

WELL....
Can you people be more clearly on Ur Tips Please, Do i have to Update Bootloader or Bootloader will Automatically update after i flash a Full firmware via Odin or during update a frimware do i need to click a tick there writting "UPDATE BOOTLOADER" or not or let me know any Solution pleaseeeeeeeeeee . English is my 3rd Langue so Please try to explane with a Simply English Brothers and sister. I feel sucks No one can fix my Problem here in Kosovo.
If you are going to flash New firmware via Odin from intratech you will automatically get the right (older) bootloader that lets you clear the flash counter with the jig.
If you have already flashed KI3 or KI8 from somewhere else chances are you will have the new bootloader flashed on your phone.
If that is the case intratech has the older bootloader that you can download and flash via Odin without having to flash the full firmware again.
Read the 1st few posts in his thread carefully for the exact steps to follow.
Good luck.

Well i try Many of Roms to flash i try with older and newer Problem still there, i think i need to Change a Usb Port (Electronic Usb maybe i demage with a bad Charger or Who know). Is there any Idea where i can Buy&Purchase Galaxy s2 Electronic Parts
I has this same problem after flashing ki4. Would not shut off. Kept booting up every time I tried to switch off. After a bit of searching I found a fix got my phone. Just remove the battery for 30 seconds. Reinstall and try again. Might not work for you but won't cost anything to try.
Edit
Just read. You already tried another battery do this won't help you. Sorry.

dear Friend thanks for trying to help me, but i can not find a human being that can tell me how exactly to fix my problem i have this problem 1 month, for me it will be enough to know if is a Software or hardware problem. Problem is here in Kosovo we dont have a Samsung Store that can fix, only a solution is to send in Germany(1.441 Km ) , it will coast to me just a new Galaxy s2... i have exacly this problem like this guy in youtube here is a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBB_3qtgj68
or check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237228
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 5 / S Wifi 5.0 / YP-G70 from eBay (International Version). I tried flashing a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Gingerbread ROM to it with Odin v1.3 and now it won't even light up or turn on. I thought it might work because the device is just like the I9000 without the phone. My device even tried looking for a cellular signal when it clearly did not have the phone capabilities. Now I'm afraid that I spent all this money for nothing.
I've tried every button combination to try to enter download mode and have tried a USB jig from eBay, but since the device doesn't light up or turn on I can't tell if anything has worked aside from Odin not recognizing the device.
Please help!
Update 1:
I've tried Heimdall and that too does not recognize the device. I've also opened the device up and tried buttons combinations with and without the battery and plugging in the device to my computer. Still no success. I think it still "works" because when I plug it in to charge, the back gets warm.
Update 2:
Okay, so I've placed an order to MobileTechVideos.com for their JTAG repair service. From other posts, I've concluded that I probably messed up the bootloader. I'll see how this goes.
Update 3:
Unfortunately MTV wasn't able to repair my device so I got a refund. They'll notify me if they get one working.
Update 4:
MTV found a working solution! I just received my repaired device in the mail today and it works like brand new! XD
go to nearest service center that would be helpful for u !

Thanks for the advice. Any other suggestions for the time being?

Hello,
Im new here, dont know if this is in the right place or anything and to be honest i dont know a lot about using forums lol - so dont moan
I had a galaxy s on T-mobile and used to flash roms all the time no problem.
I purchase a galaxy s 2 and flash my first rom which failed (Locked up PC) and then when i turned the phone off it would not come back on.
No power!
I tried everything i could think of! 3 button recovery - USB JIG - replacing battery, removing battery, charging etc etc.
What i would like to know is:
I have a new galaxy s 2 coming soon and i would like to flash something like 2.2 or 2.3 and let kies take over and fully update me on generic firmware (Not T-Mobile firmware)
But from past experience Kies normally complains and says "This firmware cannot be updated"
So my question is: i would like to know the best, safest way to flash a firmware to get what i want from kies and which version i should download.
Also if someone can explain kernels to me if i need them!
Thanks in advance!!!
I have a Norwegian Samsung Galaxy S2 i1900G which I have rooted. I bought it in may this year, and it is locked to my carrier Telenor.
I usually stick to Apple products, though went for an Android this time, and was completely unfamiliar with the rooting process.
I uploaded a kernel using Heimdall on my mac and the phone rebooted as normal, but was unable to connect to the SIM-card (I guess this has something to do with it being locked to a carrier?). I tried uploading a ROM, and I think I have soft-bricked the phone.
It doesn't turn on, just shows the boot screen. When I turn it off it shows the charging screen (stuck, no animation) even if it is not connected to anything.
It does go into download mode.
I have searched the forums and elsewhere looking for help, but nothing has worked so far, and I'm afraid of making the damage worse.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 but the downloads to the stock kernels aren't working.
I'm very grateful for any response!
Google S II firmwares and download them from another site if XDA dont work. Then flash the firmware in Odin or Heimdall
Fint og se noen norske her

That link is to i9100 firmwares. Not i9100G firmwares.
Firmwares and kernels are not compatible between the i9100 and the i9100G.
Stick to stuff in the i9100G subforum.
i9100g?
I have been looking to the I9100G subforum for help, as advised, and used the instructions in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619571 thread to try and fix it, but with no success.
I can't get my phone into recovery mode, and Samsung Kies doesn't connect to it, so I can't do a factory reset or data wipe.
On the sticker inside of my phone the ssn is -I9100GSMH and the model is GT-I9100.
Have I been wrong about it being a I9100G?

hi
I need help with my new Samsung galaxy Sii GT-i9100. the phone comes with a stock android gingerbread os. I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.
please help

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..
Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.

Sorry, I'm not an expert at this point. Search for threads about hard bricks, and possible solutions (or anyone else has to have a better answer). Good luck anyway.

First off, chill out.
Then read this and try some of the possible fixes.
If nothing works, come back and we'll tell you what to do so you can get a new phone claiming warranty.

my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..
Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..
After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...
If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..
Press thanx if I helped...
