Ok so i've had this phone for a long time.. around 2 years i think.. Anyway today the phone just turned off by itself.. i tried turning it back on but it flashes the green light once and then vibrates when i press the power button but after that i get no response.. The screen does not turn on.. and the phone just doesnt respond.. Then i have to take out the battery and try to power my phone again but get the same response.. green light blink and then a vibrate but after that its dead..
Is my phone bricked? i didnt install anything new so i dont know how it just became dead itself.. secondly i've tried repairing the phone through Sony's update service and PC Companion and it gives me an error when it starts to install the software on the phone
Any solution?
Anyone?

Try flashing an original firmware in flashtool...
edit: try a different battery ?
hope this helps...
Im not able to flash from flastool either.. It doesnt complete the process.. just gets stuck at 0% at "flashing data"
The only time I've had that issue was when my cable was messed up...Maybe try a different cable?

you can try it or try to hardreset so ",my english is not good" you can try to turn on mobile for a 20 second on the power buton than remove battery ,conect usb cable with device, hold back buton and while this insert battery
Since your phone vibrates and blink's the LED light, I believe it's still alive.

I'll try to break down parkci's method:
1. Remove back cover
2. Press and hold the power button for 20 second
3. Remove battery (while holding the power button)
4. Conect usb cable between PC and device
5. While holding down the back button insert battery
This may hopefully either hard reset or put it into flashmode....
Supposedly another way to hard reset:
:
Press both LEFT and RIGHT buttons on the front and POWER ON...
Good luck...

Tried it.. no luck
Pressing the left and right button and the power button doesnt do anything for me.. just blinks the green light and vibrates the phone but again it doesnt turn on or anything.. just dead after that..
Tried the other method too but that didnt work either

Good.
My galaxy s2 failed to turn on.
Yesterday I installed the rom-BAR7 CriskeloRomV22-S-Tog-BLN-CallRec-Overscroll-3LS-CamHack-PWR-M-Esxt-(XXKI3-2.3.5), and the kernel SiyahKernel v1.7.8
and it works good
He was charging all night, the morning did the Battery Calibration, and was working perfectly
By late afternoon, I'll take it, and it dont turn on, nor in download mode or recovery mode or normally.
If you connect the charger a bit, note that it heats up, but no links or picture or anything
If connected to the computer appears to be installed this drive, but without success as you can see the image HERE
What solutions are there, without being sent to the warranty?
thanks
Pull the battery, wait a minute, reinsert the batterry and see if you get in recovery or downloadmode.
You could try a USB Jig.

Maybe you had huge battery drain because of the rom or an application and it can not charged because of the temperature.Happened to me once with cm7(most probably my drain was from webroot security or setcpu)
.Remove the battery for longer time eg 15minutes and try to charge it
Ps if you have zero battery you can not enter recovery or download mode.I lived that and its really annoying

Yes as you have been informed already .
One try the USB recovery jig to turn download mode on that fails or you dont want to try a service centre for a non warranty repair .

Just another guess:
Charge the battery for some minutes.
After unplugging the phone, pull out the battery, external SD-card and SIM-card for some minutes.
Try to start that phone with battery only.
Good luck ...

if you know someone who has the same phone why not try using their battery?
or leave the phone to charge overnight and see what happens in the morning...

mostly people take his fone in their pocket and when sweat release from body body's tempreture again conveert it into vaupour and this vapour some how enter in to mobile in your pocket. so go to samsung care or any good mobile repair shop who know his job better and say your exact situation and also say which i mention here ok. may be they can help you to dry the battery coonect point ok. becos some time when you pull off your battery and press the power switch button for 1 minute and then put back battery on mobile but dont push power button only insert the battery, u will find that near camera some heat is rising up and after some time it would be good heat enough near your camera. if i m rite then plz reply me ok.u know i did every thing like bootloader update, jtag but no success. if u have external charger charge ur s2 bateery with it and then clear ur battery touch point in both means on fone and basttery too with blade or paper knife and then insert ur battery if u will lucky u will see that ur fone will start but when will u switch off ur fone again ur fone will refuse to start. i m damn sure about it. reply if it happens to u ok
Quick question guys, i was flashing the Linda voice on my vibrant, when all of a sudden it went to a blank red screen. did a battery pull but now its dead. it wont charge, wont go into download or recovery, odin doesnt work, nothing. Advice?
Press and hold power, then press Volume Up. You'll get red text. Plug your USB cable into your computer, then into your phone. Press and hold Volume up + Volume Down + Power until it reboots. Depress Power, it will reboot to Download mode. Flash away.

i tried this, along with trying a jig too. nothing appears whatsoever. just black screen.
button presses? u mean other than vol up down and power?
Connect usb+vup+vdown, then put battery in
Here try this...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.
Tell me if this works for you!
N00B_IN_N33D THANK U! that worked, kinda. It got me into yellow download mode on my phone,(which is the 1st time screen has been back) but odin wont recognize it, so idk how 2 reflash to stock now without it

Try of you can get in download mode (volume down + power button + menu button). If so reflash the rom you need with Odin 1.85.

You can try to pull the battery for half an hour or so and try again, sometimes that helps.

It's very strange that your phone wouldn't turn on just because you were transferring pictures... it goes against common sense.

Don't turn power on, no reaction with USB Jig, no reaction to battery charger, no reaction to power+voldown+home and power+volup+home either....

I've had this happen two or three times. The power button became completely unresponsive. My initial reaction was that it was a I borked a flash of some sort. Then I thought it was a hardware problem. So, I managed to flash to stock so I could do a warranty return. However, after flashing to samsung stock, and doing a full factory reset, my power button has always started working again.
It is a pain trying to do some things without a power button, but I've managed it somehow.
Of course, it could be a true hardware issue. But you are going to have to get back to stock regardless. It doesn't seem to be a common problem.
Be patient and follow the return to stock instructions. Then do a full factory reset again.
may be a noob qs.. but how do i get to stock if i cant use the power button? can you please guide me? thanks.. cause i dont know how to get to download mode without using power button
EDIT: nvm figured it out..
didnt work..

Did you do a factory reset after you got back to stock? Either way, you should be able to return it. They will probably make you try to upgrade it and do a factory reset any way as a part of their troubleshooting process.
Yeah the trouble shooting process sucks... But stay with the, and be nice. Like I said, I was very nice and helpful and they next day'd (?) my phone. Had it 15 hours after my phone call. Be nice
thanks a lot everyone.. i went to the at&t device support center and they swapped it out there.. thanks again..
P.S. can the mods close this thread? thanks

@hobbes487
1. Power the phone off. (pull battery)
2. Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
3. Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
4. While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable.

A usb jig helps, too. Also, be sure you wipe data before you flash a stock rom. If you don't, you can get in a bootloop. Using recovery in a stock rom requires a power button to select options. So wiping data afterward is difficult.

Also, following the new return to stock with mobile Odin thread might be even easier, though I haven't done it myself.

I was also a victim of the failing power button - so I went to an AT&T store, custom rom and yellow warning triangle be damned. The rep plugged my phone in, which woke the screen and told me to reset it. I went to the mobile Odin thread and within 15min I had the stock AT&T rom flashed - and more importantly no yellow triangle. I also sang it's praises in that thread. The longest and most difficult part of the process was patiently waiting for the rom image to download. It's 502mb!
Hi, sorry if the question is already answered, but my English is basic and write it through google translator.
My problem is that my Xperia P (LT22i) ran out of battery and shut down, and now will not start. I connect it to the charger, the red LED lights a few minutes and then turns off. But still does not start. I left it all day and nothing.
If anyone knows how to get it back, especially to rescue the photographs he had.
I tried as I have suggested, hold power button with Volume up key till you get 3 vibration. then start your phone normally by pressing power button but does not work.
Thank you.
