[Q] s2 bricked? battery dead? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellow galaxy enthusiasts
My phone has recently been playing up to the point where it would be fully charged and then by the time it would reach about 60-70% it would freeze and then i would have to take out the battery to try to restart. When trying to restart it would load to the point where it gets stuck in a bootloop. I then left the charger on and managed to get the phone to start - here i realised the battery had gone down to around 6%. Whilst it was here i thought i would reset the phone, thinking that this would help but it didnt. I manged to get the phone working but the same problem occured. I then flashed a stock rom via Odin, thinkin this may help - but it didnt. Same problem
Any ideas?
Thanks guys

Try dif battery?

Something causing a short/similar. Replace the USB board/port.
P.S - If your phone can boot (even if it bootloops), it ain't 'bricked'. Stop being hysterical.

My HTC HD2 Is Acting Funny...

My HD2 Won't boot Successfully every time.
Most of the time It Rumbles about 6-7 Times after the first rumble when Turning On.
Sometimes The HD2 Boots Successfully. Then out of no where, the device reboots itself and gets stuck at STICK TOGETER!
I tried to install 4.3 HTC Sense.
I didn't do anything wrong.
This just happened.
Is there a way to fix this?
I'm trying to recover to original Stock ROM.
I can't find it anywhere.
If anyone can help me. Please, help me.
Hi,
You can download original rom on HTC support page.
Hope that your pboblem will be fixed...
Thanks for your help. I'll try it.
Another thing to try, make sure that your battery is properly connecting to the contacts. Removing / pulling / reinserting the battery on my phone caused the connectors to get a little bent and resulted in random shutdowns / restarts.
Also, try recharging using the AC plug not over USB. I found that my phone sometimes got into such a deep discharge that it didn't have enough power to boot / charge.

Sounds like you know the problem already, your USB port is either dirty or damaged.

[Q] My phone kills batteries, What to do?

Hi guys,
My battery life was getting shorter and shorter. So, I decided to buy me a new battery. I tried the battery and my phone turned on with the green charging battery.
As I turned my phone on when it was filled 100%, my phone gets stuck at the beginning (black screen Samsung galaxy blabla with the yellow triangle)
I thought this was weird so I started it in recovery/download and this does work.
After choosing for reboot I got the omega rom loading GIF, and suddenly I got KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE.
I decided to try a battery from a friend (also Gt-i9100). This battery just worked in his phone so why shouldn't it work with mine.
As I tried it, I first got the message battery too low. But the battery was full in my friends phone. So I tried again, also stuck at the beginning screen.
To make it even more stupid: My friends phone wont boot either after I used his battery.
As I was really tired of this sh*, I decided to put my old stupid battery back in my phone so I could use it for +- 6 hours a charge.
Now my phone is stuck at the beginning with all the 3 batteries.
I tried to re-flash my omega rom, but it's still the same issue.
Is there something going on with my kernel? I thought I could erase the battery stats, but thats not a option in this CWM.
I'm really stressed, because like all of you, I need my phone every day.
Do you guys have any advice, tips or sollutions for my/our problem?
Searching and reading the topics that already discuss the points you made would be a start. :good:
Kill the phone, it's evil.

Maybe there is something faulty with the battery inferace of the phone or maybe you're just unlucky. I don't understand why your friends phone wouldn't boot after you used the battery - that doesn't make any sense - but either way, I'd order a new battery from a reputable retailer, if it stops working again in a similar way then get the phone fixed/replaced.
My suspicion is that it's either a fault with the phone or that there is something you're not telling us. I can't see how the battery (hardware) could cause your ROM (software) not to work unless the link between the battery and phone is damaged, in which case you need to replace the phone.

[Q] YP-G70CW Charge Loop?

Hi All,
Apologies if this has been gone over. Tried searching but I can't seem to find a definitive answer for this one.
My Son's Player 5.0 (YP-G70CW) died quite a few months back and would no longer charge. With the device powered off the charge logo appears briefly, the screen goes black and then it repeats.
I've filmed it and put it on YouTube to see (sorry if you're not a Tool fan, just happened to be playing at the time). http://youtu.be/gGvYLwIggso
I bought a new battery, thinking that was to blame, but still the same issue. One time, after it had been sat in a drawer for ages it went into recovery mode and stayed there, I didn't have the software to hand to do anything with it at the time but that leads me to believe that it's possible to get back to recovery at least so all is not lost.
I've read somewhere that letting the battery completely drain can fix this. I've also read that disconnecting the battery and holding the power button for 10 seconds, then putting it on charge again can fix it. Neither have helped for me.
Has anyone had this specific issue and fixed it? I'm not really a Samsung fan so not familiar on how the bootloader works.
Any help much appreciated.
Well, thanks very much everyone who made suggestions or tried to help... /sarcasm
I've managed to fix this issue and managed to find out something new in the process. In order to stop the device from constantly looping, it seems that disconnecting the battery and then the ribbon cable for the power/volume buttons, then re-connecting the battery will make the YP-G70 start up in Download Mode with no restarts, allowing you time to use Heimdall or Odin to flash a new PIT and Boot image. This sorted my son's device right out. Very chuffed as I almost threw it away.
Hope this helps someone else out there having the same problem!

Rooting a s3 galaxy smartphone stuck on logo screen?

Hey guys,
I would be really considerate if any one of you can help me with this, there have been some problems with my phone. I noticed that after using it for long hours and once the battery goes down to 20%, the screen would suddenly freeze and it would be impossible to try to turn it off or click on anything, so what i would do is leave it for some few seconds until it shuts by itself or try to take out the battery and then plug it into a charger and then it would work fine. So I didn't think that it was a serious problem but lately, the same thing happened and I took out the battery, then i tried to turn it on but it just stuck on the logo screen and it wouldn't turn on at all.Also, if i try to charge it, it would show a grey battery icon with a loading picture on it and it doesn't show the usual green battery loading, I tried taking off the battery for some time and put it back on but it's always the same problem. I also erased the cache on the recovery mode but it's always showing no sign of working. I've been wondering if I rooted my phone, would the data be erased? and is there any chance of it working afterwards or maybe I should try something else? and what is the best solution to try: rooting the phone or doing the factory reset? I don't want to loose data...
I'll be honestly so grateful if anyone can recommend me something because I tried looking everywhere for this problem but with no results.
By the way, my phone is samsung s3 gt i9300.
Thank you a lot in advance.
Best regards,
