ok,i have read a ton of boot loop threads but none seem to be my situation or answer please be patient
so my s2 has never been rooted, flashed .. or modded in any way..
but all of a sudden it i guess has crashed,, to the boot screen, (samsung galaxy sII ) but it was a frozen screen, so i thought id let it work it self out, but it didnt do a thing, thinking that it may of needed a charge , so i plugged it in , and nothing... .. so i took out the battery, left it all day and came back to it, put it back in and started it up.. and it just freezes once it gets to the boot screen.
so out comes the battery once again, and i put it back in and plug into the wall. it shows an empty battery with the the loading circle,, but frozen and cant turn on or anything..
i managed to get it to recovery , and rebooted it , .. still no good ...
so i have not done anything to this g sII its stock from the box.. and this..
so is there more i can do ? any help would be great.. cheers
If you haven't done anything just take it back and get it exchanged, as pretty much anything you're gonna get as suggestions here will most likely get your warranty voided
sounds like the idea, although im overseas from where i bought the phone, and im pretty lost without it , just thought id inquire if there was a simple reason.. or a simple fix ..
so any other thoughts ?
Hello
Yes yes i know i'm a noob, and i'm hated.. and i hate myself :/ lol but right now I need help! I've searched EVERYWHERE and was unable to find the solution soo...
I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version
If you need any other information, let me know and i'll post it... But PLEASE help me.
I'm desperate here
I hope you've told the mods to remove your duplicate post ?

Which ROM and Kernel are you using?
Android is like Linux, so low ram=wasted resources. High ram is natural. Likely it is your rom or kernel that is to blame. You could also do a factory reset to see if it fixes it. Also, if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, it is the same as a battery pull, so you don't need to take the back (or case if you have one) off.

Hi, im new here ..im super frustrated. I'm pretty good at technlogy, but cannot figure what's wrong with my s2.
It randomly turns off and vibrates..like a pulse.
I need some good advice and what to do.
Ive done some research and most are saying its the power button??
Everything works on my phone, it just randomly does this. Is it worth getting it fixed? If so, how much would I spend??
HELP HELP HELP!!!

if ur phone is running on Stock Samsung Firmware then backup with 'KIES' and then do a factory re-set and see
Ps- in future while posting an issue do please remember to provide the necessary info on ur present ROM/KERNEL, that way it would be obvious to get better solution to ur problem
Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.

Yeah i think I should take it to service too, but I want to try at least first:cyclops:
I've just repeated exactly the same steps as the OP on my GT-9070P and have "successfully" bricked my two-week-old phone. If someone happens to find a solution, please share. :crying:

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.

So you find any solution? I have a similar problem right now.
Hey lads, so ive been here on this forum for a long time and got a LOT of resources for my note and other phones so thank you ALL for that over the years. Now onto my problem. I started having the reboot problem where it will automatically reboot after a few seconds of booting up. I know there are threads concerning this and the usual suspect is the power button, concerning which I have messed with it, cleaned it, kissed it, caressed it, (ok seriously now) i shaved it down a bit so it wont be making unnecessary contact. I even removed the button completely. The first time i did it it seemed to work for a couple days but then it started again. I saw threads indicating it could be a battery issue as well so i ordered a new oem battery and unfortunately that didnt work either. Im just about ready to toss it (no warranty) but i thought i'd put this out there in case any 'higher level' users here may have any final insight to give me before i do that. I always appreciate advice and help of any sort so I'll go ahead and thank you all in advance
Thanks! :laugh:
looking forward to hearing from u lads.
Edit: oh and it doesn't happen in recovery or download mode. It just stays on no problem. I have flashed new and original roms, kernels, recoveries using odin etc. all to no avail
