[Q] Software problem ? How can I fix it ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
A few days ago I started to have some issues with my S2. It started to shut down mostly when I was trying to make a call. At first it happened once a day, then twice, but yesterday it shuted down and I couldn't turn it on. It stucked on the booting logo ...
A saw a lot of posts about this problem, many people is having this kind of issues but I couldn't find a good response what to do, and how to do it.
A made a hard reset, and I succesfully turned it on, but the problem is still alive. It keeps shutting down...
As a newbie I don't really know what should I try to resolve this issue, please help me.
Flashing? Rooting? New ROM, Kernel ? ... What could help me ?
For example ? Flashing with neat rom worth a try ?

So, i had the same problems, was based on ICS, i decided to change to JB so i downloaded a Jelly Bean firmware from www.sammobiles.com it works for me. you have to register yourself before you can download something.

Wait
Are you rooted? and did the problem occur after rooting?
If you're not rooted then i might supect a hardware failure.

before you root the phone you can try to flash a firmware from sammobile

So, I think I succesfully repaired my phone .
I rooted it and now I have Neat ROM on it.

I wanted to install it, but in the baseband section my baseband was marked bad.So i didn't install it .Thanks for the help!
Like many others, I've followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190 but have ended-up with a loop.
In my case I cannot find the Samsung ROM for the Canadian version ( I5500MUGJJ7 ) as can be seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958293&postcount=1 I'm not the only one.
End result is I've bricked my phone I think (but hoping NOT).
I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!
Thanks

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks

Read through this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554982 .. I think it will help you.. I've also read that you need to have the U.S. ICS bootloader.. This aplies if you have the u.k. tab.

Actually i am pretty sure that it is nothing to do with the rom. Because it was already flickering after the first root.
How can i find the US ICS bootloader and what do you mean by UK tab? What is the difference?

Go here.. http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ . and flash his bootloader and cwm recovery....for you're tab version.. You could just try another cwm recovery first instead of the bootliader and recovery... I've seen bad versions of cwm floating around causing rolling screens..I personally use infamous twrp recovery...

[Q] Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 WIFI problem, can't turn ON.

Hi all,
Have my SGS2 with stock rom that yesterday WIFI wont start, no matter what I do, it wont go ON.
I tried the following. Factory reset and new rom, now I have Resurrection Remix KK v5.0.3 and still the WIFI wont go ON.
Could be that it's a hardware failure? It's a 3 year old phone mint condition. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear... It was in stock ROM when this problem started, I installed a new custom ROM to see if that would fix it, but no fix.
