i've been using my phone since last year and last month it died.
i put it on the table, went to bed, then in the morning it was dead.
i've tried to boot it(didn't boot,no download no recovery), charge it(wall charger,usb charger no charging), different button combos(soft reset?),different batteries; tried to clean the usb port etc.it didn't responed to anything.completely dead.
it was running a cm nightly(june maybe), no oc or uv or anything out of casual.no eMMC bug, no software change(inc. apps).
after i left it in charging couple hours, i sent it to samsung.after a week they said "motherboard issue,liquid damaged;so no warranty".
funny thing is,there wasn't any water near the phone that night.
i asked "did you replace anything in the phone" they said no and i left.
then i got home,plugged the phone, nothing.no sign of life.
and without anything to lose i hit the power button and,and IT'S ALIVE,IT'S ALIVE IT'S ALIVE!!!!
it was a emotional indeed.it brought back to life.
everything was there as i left(messages, call log, candy crush everything, also recovery and download).
a lot of questions popped in my head.but i thought samsung fixed it but forgot to bill me.
after i used it for couple hours battery got low.so i plugged it left it for couple hours then checked it back and it didn't charged.i plugged it to my laptop and nothing changed,just nothing happend.
i called the samsung, asked about my phone they said that they didn't do anything(didn't replaced any part or software).
phone can boot but cannot charge(and no usb recognition).everything else works normal.
every once on a while i call my phone back from death with a fully charged battery for a little fun,i use it like 12 hours then the phone dies again.
i don't know what happend in that service center maybe they did some sick satanic ritual,or voodoo on my phone.
maybe it'll kill me i don't know...
did any of you heard anything like this.
(
note:this is a sudden death case but it's different than others.the phone booted but couldn't charged.i don't think it's a software issue could be hardware but can't say for sure.my warranty is ended so i can't take it to samsung for free.
motherboard costs a lot of money and i wont buy it.
now some say it could be damaged because of humidity or sweat or rain or tears ...
but i want more from that, i want a solution from you people.
it's a cliche but "sory fo my englis"

Check on eBay for usb connector board, it's about ten bucks and easy to replace, you got nothing to loose..
Good luck!

thx for the suggestion.I already ordered one two days ago.I just hope i won't need any sorcery.
btw do you have any idea about how can this happen.
Phones don't have to be exposed to ' obvious water' (drop it in the toilet, spill a drink over it, etc) to be moisture damaged. People either don't notice or forget the time 12 mths ago they checked their text messages & a bit of rain got on the screen, or the time they had it in their pocket in the bathroom half an hour after they had a shower. It doesn't take much, and it almost always takes a long time for problems to manifest.
As Karpfenhai said, if you're lucky it's just the USB board/port, but don't be surprised if the problems reoccur intermittently again after a while; in that case, you're probably better off getting another phone than going down the motherboard replacement route.

"It will not turn on. However, the green indicator LED light on the right front screen lights up when I press button or put the charger in;
he told me he was going to root it and put a new flash on it and said the battery died while flashing.
Ever since, I couldn't get it back to turn on. I read around and people said hard bricking is nearly impossible and this might be soft bricking."
I've been stolen my Atrix so I stopped following it, and I'd like to replace it....
Thanks
when my phone did that it was because it died fully and when i tried to turn it on or charge it with my computer it wouldnt let me . Until i plug it up to my wall , then it finally started charging . when i had hard bricked my phone , i would press the on button and it turned green but then it said error . maybe that will help you ?
Don't really know.
It's what the seller says.
I asked him what he has done to get that, still waiting for the answer...
Stupid thought: maybe the Power On button is broken?
he told me he was going to root it and put a new flash on it and said the battery died while flashing. Ever since, I couldn't get it back to turn on. I read around and people said hard bricking is nearly impossible and this might be soft bricking.
Here is his reply. So, what donc you guys think?

Get a different battery. If phone doesn't boot >> it's dead.
REAL hardbrick
I have hardbricked two Atrixes in less than 30 days. AT&T replaced both of them and never asked anything about me rooting or unlocking. I can't post links here yet, so google "Briefmobile unlock Atrix." That's the exact procedure I followed.
It worked at least two times. The other two times, it burned something inside the phone. It wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a USB port, into the wall, and the LED didn't even come on. The guys at AT&T tried different batteries and none of the phones turned on. So I'm on my third Atrix in 30 days.

Yes, but i'need to be sure before buying the Atrix.
Would feel stupid if it really was a hardbrick since i would import from US to France...
And I Also have another battery... The Son of a B**** who stole my Atrix during my holidays didn't have the brain to steal chargers and extra battery while it was clearly sightable... Bitter laugh

My guess is that it's hard bricked. (In some hard brick cases phone won't turn on at all).
Don't you think the person selling it to you tried to do everything possible to fix it before offloading it for cheap?
If you need a cheap phone, get a used one, or a heavily used one. LOL.
What's good in paying ANY money for this phone if it doesn't work and most likely never will?
I had a similar issue after I took a swim with my Atrix It powered up fine after letting it sit for a few days, then I powered it off to put the sim card and memory card in, then plugged in the charger to the phone... It wouldn't come back on.. and a green light would come on when I would try to turn it on... I left it sitting charging for a few days, then 7 days after the swimming incident, right before I was going to buy another Atrix off of craigslist, I hit the power button and it came on! Been running like a scalded dog ever since..
Maybe you just need to plug it up to the wall charger for a few hours or over night... before doing so, I would recommend pullling the battery let it sit for a minute or two, then put the battery back in a hook it up to the wall outlet. Hope you get it figured out!
So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I then plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I tried charging the battery and left it alone for an hour and afterwards the result is the same. Basically when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon as if its going to charge for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the battery icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this for a couple of minutes until the screen finally stays blank.
So as I said even though I leave the phone to charge for a while, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm near the camera. Also I tried to see if download mode works and pressed both volume buttons and I get a brief flash of some words. After doing it for several times I saw it said 'Low battery, cannot download' all in red.
I searched the forum and tried leaving the battery out for a while and also putting it in the fridge to see if anything would happen but nothing. So can anyone help? Is it just the battery?
Could be the battery - if you are on good terms with a local ATT store, try going there and asking if you can borrow a battery from their demo device to see if yours will power up. That's the best cheap way I can think of to rule that out.
Other possibility is a bad USB port. My first device developed a failure at about 2 months - I'm actually on day 5 with my warranty replacement. There is another member here, Moustro I think, who also may have a bad USB port. He and I were wondering if perhaps there was a bad batch out there. I'm not sure what ATT's warranty policy is for items re-sold on eBay, but might be worth checking out...
yeah that does sound like it could be the battery boot loop, take some photos of the battery to see if it is the oem... if it is the oem try a stand alone chager

I live in Canada don't think I'd get much help from AT&T probably.
Also the battery is the original one and not a replacement. I left it unplugged for a few hours and just now plugged it back in and its the same battery icon flashing for a couple of minutes and then blank screen. No charging whatsoever. I tried different outlets and different USB ports on my notebook and its all the same.
I also have an Infuse and charging for that every by every method is just fine so its my SII that's messed up.
If it's any condolence to you, I just bought a brand new GS2 from the ATT store today. The battery was semi-charged when I got it, and when it ran out, I plugged it in and got the same thing you did. Battery is flashing, cannot power it on, even plugged in. I also got the red "Low battery, cannot download".
I spent the better part of 4 hours reloading my apps and email addys, and everything else to get my phone up and running, and now this.
I am going back to the ATT store tomorrow and requesting a different brand new one.
This is my 2nd GS2, because I destroyed my first one in an accident.
Just as dandrumheller was saying. I had simimiar issues where the phone battery would blink on and off even if the charger was plugged in or not while the phone was powered off. The only way I could get my phone to boot to prepare it for warranty exchange was to flash a rom through Odin. But if you can't get it into download mode this wouldn't work.
My suggestion would be to use a different battery. That would let you know if its a hardware issue or bad battery.
hmm...
I was able to to get it to power on last night with what little battery was left. I then plugged it into the USB of my Mac, rather than the charging wart. When I awoke this AM, I have a fully charged battery, and a working phone. I will let the battery run out again completely today and see what happens.
That's great news! I hope it continues to work for you
I would not let it completely run out. Our batteries don't like that. Don't go below 25 percent. I'm glad you got it working. I know you're relieved.

I'm not sure relieved is the right word.
Apprehensive might be better.
We all know AT&T isn't in the best graces with most.
They must be the ***** of Comcast.
Anybody got anymore suggestions?? Can't get it to work no matter what I try.
Call samsung and see if they will honor the warranty? Don't know their rules, but in another thread someone suggested that sale of the phone does not void the warranty.

Max,
Were you able to find a fix for your problem? i bought a SGII from ebay and is presenting the same issue
For what its worth I am able to enter download with NO battery. In fact I ONLY do it without a battery. I just hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB to my computer while not pressing anything else. Without battery.
Thought the OP said he couldn't enter download.... so if that doesn't throw it in download it's more than just battery.

Guys,
I tried this and it worked...
At a last resort, i put the battery on nexus to see if it will charge and DAMN !! it did,, so the battery was not the issue...so i grab a swab with little alcohol then clean the terminals on the battery and the spring connectors on the phone... and voila !!! started charging and keeps working perfectly.
It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you guys.
Glad you were able to isolate the problem.
Sent from my SGH-I777 running MIUI with Siyah
Same problem
Flashing on for a sec then flashing off, buttons flashed too. Phone got hot around the battery. Couldn't have described the problem better
Took some alcohol, cleaned the contacts for the USB connector, cleaned the battery contacts, and booyah, got the charging symbol again! Problem was, I didn't use the phone for a month, it rode around in the front pocket of my laptop bag, and apparently got the contacts dirty. A little toothpick and q-tip fun later, and my phone started charging again. Thanks -

Really? I've had mostly HTC phones and we could run them down pretty low.. I've been running mine down past 10 and it's been fine.. stock battery.
I had the same problem as op. My last resort was to cut the micro usb end of a spare cable and connected it to the (+) and (-) on the phone itself. since the phone booted up, i knew it was the battery. Next, i did the same thing but (+) and (-) on the battery itself while connected to a computer. i held it in place for about 10 seconds. put the battery back in the phone and it started charging again. im sure it wasnt the safeat thing to do, but it worked. Maybe the dead battery needed some kind of jump.
btw. The wires you would be using are the the black and red. and i got this idea from

I believe these are different types of batteries. Not Lithium, but something else. I bought some spare batteries from eBay and the batteries had the same instructions... That it is not good to let them die completely, and charge then preferably when they still have 1/3 charge left.

Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery, sim card and memory card pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (still flashing "dead" battery now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. Factory settings other than downloaded apps. haven't downloaded anything in weeks
There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
I tried holding the power, home and volume (tried up and down both) and nothing happens, just keeps blinking the "dead" battery, even tho it's fully charged
HELP PLEASE!?
Given it's you haven't rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware or messed with it in any way, you'd be silly to try anything like that to try and fix it now (not that anything like that would work anyways by the sound of things).
Send it in for warranty service, assuming it's still covered by warranty. If not, have it repaired by Samsung/a Samsung authorised repairer or a mobile repair shop.
I think they only come with a 1 year warrenty I believe, I can't remember and if I have one its through Tmobile and not samsung. I got the phone a year ago, I believe on June 30th! GO FIGURE RIGHT!?
And, I don't think anything is going to be open today at all given it's Independence day.
Take it to a local mobile repair shop in that case. Will probably be cheaper than an out of warranty repair by Samsung/authorised repairer. If you bought it through your carrier, call them in the first instance & ask them what the go is re: warranty.

I was affraid of that. I just wish I knew what possibly happened!?
Just sucks it's a holiday and I have to wait til Thursday.
Without opening up the phone & having a look, who knows what/why happened (irrelevant anyways). Wait till holidays are over & contact your carrier re: warranty, if no warranty go to local mobile repair shop.
Hello everyone, so ive dropped my SGS2 in water 4 days ago, its wasnt fully submerged, only the part where my charger is located and only for about a second because i was quick to react. Took it out and noticed that the battery indicator was showing as if the phone was being charged, i blew on the charger entry point(with my mouth) for 5 seconds, and the problem went away. Next morning i wake up, late for work, with that exclamation mark and temperature gauge on my screen. I took out the battery (3500mah chinese that was in the phone while i dropped it in water), put my original samsung battery in it, and the phone started working agaiin, drove to work while charging it, all was ok, then the battery died and i cant charge it anymore. After work, got home, put it in rice for 3 days, now i check, still doesnt wanna charge with original samsung battery, but when i put the chinese battery, the screen turns on and i get the same old exclamation mark and the thermometer.
Weird thing is, my original samsung battery didnt give me the same screen that my chinese battery is giving me now.
Should i try the "fan trick", or do you think the damage is severe due to me trying to charge it while it was still wet??
When electronics hit water, always let the gadget dry in altleast 3-4 days before thinking about turning it on.

If you're talking about repairs with samsung and they even think that it's water damage they won't fix it / charge you for it.

Haven't taken an update since the last kitkat one.
(No root)
Had been running crappy for about 2 months.....last thing I installed was Viber. I un installed it weeks ago.
No change though.
I've also experienced the thing smoking through battery.
Bought 2 batteries with an external charger. Think it was mostly the original battery was bad....
Still....Isn't/wasn't charging over night with the stock charger/mini usb...have been rotating the 2 batteries I bought, charged externally. But they don't last a whole day.
I'm 50 years old. I don't game or watch videos all day. Just text phone and some surfing/Facebook occasionally listen to music/I heart radio.
So, I've been putting off the inevitable hard reset, by running it in safe mode for the last few weeks.
Slightly better battery life, but, pretty useless in that mode.
Also, the wifi and blue tooth turn off on their own. Never leaving the house/range.
It wouldn't turn back on.
I don't have any of that stuff set up, to ever shut it off.
The only thing that fixes it is the 3 or 4 hits on my knee. I found that here somewhere. Honest. It worked. (Why would something that's Solid State respond to being struck?)
Up to this point the phone was never dropped on anything harder than carpet a couple times, wearing a protective case
.
So, I was going to download helium to back it up........so I rebooted it. To get it out of safe mode, for the trip to the play store.
It WAS working. ...had just used the phone. Was on wifi, reading about helium.
That was it......She's dead Jim.......
It has never made so much as a red light for the charger being plugged in. Nothing.
I didn't download anything. Haven't messed with trying to get the lollipop OS...
So........
Removed battery, sd card, sim card., charger port clean as a whistle, used with w/out different chargers, (the one from my samsung tab 10) held power 30 seconds, let off for 2, push again. (Some secret trick I found reading? ).... , held every button for minutes with battery out. ?..
Battery tested with multimeter. It's charged. Both of them are. Have tried both.
Not so much as a blink/flash/vibrate. ..
So from my extensive reading here, it might be my charging board? Something about a cap being bad?
Plugged into the computer I don't get anything. No charge, no acknowledgement it's plugged in by the computer (Win7, , get the sound and an installing driver/what do you want to do Window. Nothing).
I've got Kies installed. Been a long time since I used it though. But again, the computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.
I only posted my experience because I have not found any others with ALL of these symptoms.
Sorry if anyone thinks it's a repeat.
I've been on here reading for 2 days now.
Pulling my hair out. Would like to salvage this thing. Don't want to get stuck in another contract.
So, , obviously,I'd like to get it running so I can at least back it up, and do a reset. And hopefully get it back to normal.
Also, is there a fix for this wifi/bluetooth thing, or am I going to go around pounding it on my knee every day? Pretty annoying.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. (Sources for parts)

Wow. ?.
Nothing?
Did I leave some bit of info out?
I can't tell you what build or version anything is on the phone because it is dead.

my note 2 did the same yesterday.i was outside talking to my daughter,put the phone on the wooden porch rail.call came in,answered,put phone back.i am very careful with my phone.did not bang or drop itit was cold outside..i bring it upstairs and go return the call,and the phone is black.totally dead.i tried everything.changing the battery with one i know was charged,did all the button combinations,etc.most threads and videos,and i went through many,have fixes for phones that at least have an led light.this one is dead as is nothing alive at all.i tried to hook it to the laptop but its so dead,its not recognized.i am besides myself.its out of warranty and i am flat broke.if anyone has figured out a fix,please email me [email protected]
p.s-i warmed it up on the heater and now i am going to wrap it in foil because i dont know what else to do.this phone is my business and i am done without it.if i could at least save photos and contacts,call logs.this really sucks
