u cant even see the 'Samsung' logo after turning it ON for now?
Will it show recovery or download mode on screen.
thanks for all the replies. I can't see ANYTHING on the screen... it's totally black. no samsung logo, no recovery menu (which I guess is there but the screen doesn't display it)
very strange it happened all of a sudden this morning while I was crushing some candies

With your phone? That might explain it...
Seriously, though, I would suggest taking the phone apart (it's not that difficult, just look up the service manual for disassembly instructions), and checking the display ribbon cable and connector. Reconnecting it might help. If not, it's probably a service centre call...

I feel like an idiot..... installed the wrong ROM on my Galaxy S2-UK
I installed CheckROM V5 and found out it was actually for the Galaxy Note before it was too late, it installed fine from holding power button, home button and volume up, then going to install Zip from folder and rebooted. When it rebooted my Galaxy S2 logo came up and then the screens pixels all turn white one by one. I tried to do the power button,home button and volume button to go in and uninstall it and the same thing happens, white screen,
I can't even get odin to recognise the device is plugged into my laptop.
Have I ruined my Galaxy S2? is it fixable?

You can't go to download mode? (which is vol-down, home, and power; you didn't specify which volume button you tried)
You should probably invest a couple bucks into a USB jig to see if that can get you into download mode if not.
Yes I tried to go into download mode and it just goes all white bit by bit. Is a Jig my only option ?

Maybe...
So even if it goes all white, I wonder if you can still actually enter download mode. After the phone boots when doing vol-down + home + power, while it is going all white, try hitting vol-up and plugging the phone into your USB cable on your computer. If Odin goes yellow in the ID:COM block, you should be good to go to try flashing back to stock.
If that doesn't work, try a jig.
Cool, I will try that thanks, the battery is dead so I will try it later, another point to add, i just plugged it in to charge it there and the icon for the battery came on, the screen refreshed itself and all the pixels slowly started turning white and black on the screen.

Flashing the Note ROM may have replaced the video drivers. I'm just guessing though. Get a stock firmware from Intratech's official firmware thread and have a go at flashing it back.
Things have taken an interesting turn, went to a shop in town today who were convinced they could fix it for me for €20 and I have been informed that my battery is damaged as they couldn't even hook it up to a universal charger,I did find a bulge on the back of it. i'm sure this explains nothing but I'm going to get a new one tomorrow and try everything you have said, thanks for your help and i'll post here again.

Actually my battery is down. I can go to download mode but it says Low Batter cannot download.
As soon as I connect batter it starts showing white screen and then it switches off because of low battery.
How can I charge my battery and put phone into download mode.?

If you know someone with an SGS2 you can switch battery for some minutes to get into recovery. Be sure the battery is more than 50% ...

Battery gone after installing CheckRom for Note. I bought new battery , went into downlode mode and installed stock rom.
But Why CheckRom Note is not checking if the device is actually Note or not? is it so difficult to implement.
You're kidding right ? You actually expect devs to put "safeguards" in their roms/kernels in case idiots flash firmware for a completely different phone onto their own ?
That really does speak volumes

I agree. Flashing your phone is serious business. You wouldn't just download any old random operating system and install it on your computer without making sure it was intended to go on your computer first, would you? Why would you essentially do the same thing on your phone?
okay, so i cleaned some of the frames of my phone with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. some drops mightve seeped in through the USB port or the headphone jack. now when i try to turn it on on the splash screen, the screen flickers and just dies. also the recovery menu (EXT4) touch is irresponsive.... SOMEONE HELP ME

pull the battery, place it back in, then plug the phone in for 30 seconds. then with the phone plugged in, turn it back on.
hopefully you didnt drench the phone with rubbing alcohol...

thats weird... can you try to get into recovery again?
nope, it would just turn on by itself to the HTC splash screen for like 15 seconds, and then jus die. then repeat.

yes i do. and will do.
Put it in grain rice overnight. The alcohol should evaporate. And when you clean your amaze with any liquid I think its best and safe when its power off with battery pulled out... Same with electronics so that it could prevent short circuits.

ok now ive been able to access bootloader menu, but once i press recovery, it goes into the HTC splash screen as usual. but then after the splash screen, it jus blacks out

ok, get it to the bootloader and try flashing a new recovery using hasoons toolkit.
when in the boot loader screen you will have to select "Fastboot" for the toolkit to find and flash the recovery to the device.
once the recovery flashes try to re access it
normally it would say FASTBOOT USB, but its not detecting it......
okay everything is working now THANK GOD. ziggy, thanks for everything the only problem now is, that i think my USB port is kinda busted, although it doesnt look like anythings wrong with it. ill disassemble it in the daytime and have a look.
Sorry for not pming back... It was 2:30 am for me but that's great! What is your USB port doing?
Sent from my epic amaze 4g
after using it at work today, ive noticed i havent had ANY signal whatsoever.... im gonna try flashing the ICS radio img
Edit: also the phone would not detect the USB cables that i plugged in for either charging or storage....
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.

it seems service center is my only option i have tried all the suggested solutions above no change.thanks
Hi All,
I was using my phone few days back and it got switched off on its own and never came back to life.
I showed it to a service center and they say the phone is dead. There is nothing they can do to repair it and the motherboard will have to be replaced.
Anyone has any suggestions?
I don't believe these guys tried to repair it.
Thanks,

You know, you may be right. Maybe they just looked at it and said this thing is screwed. Or, they took the time to try to do something. Either way. First things first. Can you tell us if the phone shows a charging image when it is plugged in? If so, step two. Does the phone go into download mode? That is, hold down the down on the volume while holding the middle button on the face of the phone, while pressing the power button to turn it on. Dont hold the power button after you see the booting screen.

The LED indicator is not active as well.
It just looks like sitting in a coffin right now.
It has been only 13 months since I bought it.
If a usb jig doesn't work then new motherboard required.

Probably, those guys weren't just fooling you then, you really need a new motherboard.
Hi,
One of my S5 now shows a black screen. The LED and buttons shows up briefly when I press the power button. If I reboot the phone a few times, it will work once in a while. But once the screen dims off, it will not come back.
I've followed the steps on https://thedroidguy.com/2016/07/fix-samsung-galaxy-s5-black-screen-death-troubleshooting-guide-1062341 but it does not help
Is there any other thing I can try before I give up?
Thanks
I had that happen. It was a bad connection on the digitizer to mobo cable. Once I reset it it was back to normal.
