That didnt work it seems totally dead but i have read a lot about it online. Will a download jig work?
Thanks for your help matey
I don't know what's that lol. Sorry but I can't help you with it. Given that you're stock and unrooted, you might wanna send it to Samsung to fix it.

No worrys i think ill change the battery or something haha. Iv got no warranty. A downliad jig forces your device in to download mode to be used with Odin lol
If you find anything else let me know matey i appreciate your help
All depends on what the "deadness " is......
Could be dead dead, or could be screen dead in which case stuff is happening but you can't see anything happening.
If you have already had device connected to a computer that has the appropriate drivers installed (talking windows here) open device manager on the computer then connect the tab and see what, if anything happens and might be detected... That would show tab is working but you cannot see it... If nothing happens immediately once it's plugged in, take a fairly long press on power button and see if anything is detected then. A long press on power button (15 sec+) would put tab in apx mode which actually shows nothing on screen but again device manager would show it (this is used for nv flash). At least this way you'll know if it's dead dead or "just" something else...
Btw eushaun99 is a great and helpful dude here and has my respect but I think he gave you a bum steer via a typo with his button pressing...I think he meant press power button and volume down for boatloader, not "power and power" as he wrote, so that is worth a try also... Am I ok with that eushaun99?

Thanks, you are also a very helpful person on the Q&A section and definitely have my respect as well. Unfortunately, I can't help this guy so it would be very kind of you to take over from here.
You're right, its volume down, not power down. Oops

I have same issue too. My GT7500 starts only if I warm it till >45°C using a hairdryer or putting it under the sun (here in Italy very hot). But it's only for a normal boot, not in case of reboot when it goes all fine.

That sounds to me like the battery is tired, very tired and needs some help to produce current required, or a faulty connection somewhere. Once the tab is running the whole unit would tend to self heat so will reboot ok. Most fails are the opposite and are heating faults which is why someone came up with freezing sprays to track down which circuit comes back to life when cooled. Have you noticed any reduction of time that battery lasts between charges ?

No, it didn't change. This thing lasts since november and it's very annoying 'cause I have to pay much attention to not shut my tab off, elseway I have to get the hairdryer again and so on...

What does it do/not do when it doesn't start? Blank screen? Nothing? Bootloop? Freezes?
sent from my still superb Google I/O 7510 (xda hd)
Nothing at all. I keep the power button while warming the tab and when it decides it's enough it starts with the normal boot screen (samsung galaxy tab etc.)

Brilliant!! That's a far quicker way than normal where people drain the battery by taping down the power button to drain battery to achieve reset.... :highfive:

Its dead....I can guarantee you a jig will not work so dont waste your time....thats a hard brick, and if you cant even get it to turn on, its game over
Im sorry for your loss I really am, if their was a smilee shedding a tear I would put it
If your computer REALLY just restarted by itself, it is not your fault, sometimes odin can hang up and crash (not responding) and kill your phone too.
Moment of silence for her (bows head down)
but seriously, I hope you have insurance. If you have insurance, everything will be ok
Just say it started getting hot, you went to bed, woke up the next morning, and it would not turn on.
Or warranty repair might do it.
I bricked my old HTC Hero when I made a mistake flashing the radio and I returned it to store and had it back repaired 2 weeks later . The repair report blames the mainboard and replaced it all free.
So good luck, and I know exactly how you feel
i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

May be many S2 devices have this problem. And I had too. It 's often hardware related problem. After reparing it 's ok. But firstly, try to clean charging port, if it does not resolve, bring it to service care.

My phone boots up for 5 seconds to the samsung screen and then it shuts off. I can not get into recovery. I tried going into download mode,but when it enters download mode approx 5 sec and then it shuts off not enough time for odin to run. My battery is fully charge. What should I do?:crying:
Does it vibrate and restart as well?
Could possibly be the power button is stuck. Happens sometimes.
And since it Powers up ... It is not bricked.

it vibrates but does not reboot after the first boot
Stuck power button. . . or flashed an incomplete Rom from a bad download. . .just guessing because you didn't say what you did that led up to this.
How about a little insight on events leading up to the issue.

Last night i flashed Xylon 2.5 unOfficial Rom for quincyatt from ManelScott4Life off his site and then i flashed the recent 4Ace kernel and it was working perfectly for I used it for a couple hour before going to sleep. As I was listening to music on the way to school. It shut off and until now i need to take battery out n put back in order for it to boot for 5 seconds n shuts off again
Odd....But I still would not rule out a stuck button.
If you have a good backup that you can restore, you might could try a wipe and reflash of that backup.
The real test will be if you can boot into your recovery and it stays there. If it does not, then the problem leans toward a button issue again.
And of course, the battery could also be causing trouble. We have had failed batteries act the same as you describe. If you have a spare, try it. If not, plug the device into AC power and attempt the boot into recovery.
Either way, if the phone stays in recovery, you have a battery issue, or corrupted rom...g

Same Problem
I have a question. I have the same exact problem as the OP. However in my case I dont know what happened to the phone as someone just gave it to me since it didnt work and I have a Note they figured I could use it for parts. That aside At first i tried everything and no go. But today i was able to put it into download mode and like 5 seconds into it it shuts off. My main question is how do you know if the button is stuck 1. 2. How do you fix that?
Edit: well i opened my phone up and cleaned out the button and rubber thing and it did the trick! You guys are my heroes!!!:thumbup:
Glad we could help
Great you got it fixed. Enjoy.

How did you clean out your button? I have the EXACT same symptoms, but my rubber buttons in the case, and white power button appears to be clean. I can hear the button itself make contact. I can't get to recovery mode, but I can hit download mode for 5 seconds.
leaving the casing of the phone removed, I have the same exact symptoms so it Has to be the button itself... *shrug
the button gets stuck even when you still hear/feel it clicking. open the phone and blast it with duster. Press and depress the button rapidly many times till it frees internally

Ahoi;
yesterday a huge thunderstorm soaked my clothes und apparantly went into my S2s power button too, since it's not working anymore.
I am now using the home button to put the phone into deepsleep, but as far as I know there is no way to use the home button to boot the phone.
How can I reboot my phone for example after an SOD? I am not sure if my S2 boots as usb device when plugging it to some PC. Could someone plz check that for me ?

As always I should have been patient! After some WD40, hot temperatures and TIME my Power button is working again!
Huray! S2 is like Sony Xperia Z; in a troublesome way. Sometimes ^^ I guess I was lucky.
Happy flashing
[Q] Please help! Stuck in Bootloop, power button "stuck", no download mode!!
I believe this has to do with the phone thinking the power button is constantly being pressed...
I'm looking for any advice. My s3 suddenly went into a boot loop this morning. It powers on for a few seconds and turns itself back off.. Doing a little research, came across similar issues online caused by the main board going faulty and the phone thinking the power button is constantly being held down.
I know this because I can remove my battery, put it back in, and without even touching any buttons, the phone will attempt to power up.
I'm currently rooted and can't get into download mode for more than 3-5 seconds before it turns itself off. I was only once able to apply the perfect pressure by squeezing the side of the phone which allowed it to boot normally, but about 30 seconds later, the power menu appeared by itself and it turned off a few seconds later.
Has this happened to anyone else?? Anybody know how to go about fixing it??
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
When you take out the battery, wait for a few seconds before putting it back in. If it turns on automatically then this might be hardware issue and needs repair.
Yes,it turns on automatically...i have disassembled the phone and checked the power buttom and it seems to work right,i can't understand where is the problem
Edit. OK,the problem is that the power buttom is hyper sensitive..can i do something to reduce the sensibility?

Is the power button known for wearing out on the phone? I take good care of my s3 afaik. Maybe it's time for a new phone.... =(

Happens from time to time. Maybe if it dropped or been pressed too many times.
