Hi, I have Galaxy s 2 i9100. When i was looking in my facebook app and then Flipboard app the phone just shutdown in my hands. I had 60 or 70 % batery left and when i tryed to turn in on it just booted to the AOKP rom of 4.2.2 boot logo after the galaxy s2 logo and didnt wanted to boot in to the rom.I forgot my origina charger and charget the phone trought a nokia data cable from the USB 3.0 and i dont know is my batery or the software. I turned the device whaile charging it with the other USB 2.0 but my laptop running Windows 8 Pro Says Uknown device and shuts down the power to the USB and the phone just shuts even when i managed to boot it to the starting setupe screen of the oficial Samsung rom-4.1.2 after flashing it with Odin 1.85. And still doesnt work. While the device is turned off and charging it i ( i had only the nokia usb/data cable) the batery indicator says the battery is full but turning it it says its only 9% full. Ok i whaited it turnned off and charging it still saying its full for a 3-4 hours and when i turned it on it said it have 99% battery olmoust full, but it still had the problem when the usb is turned off it shutsdown... I flashed it again to the stok official rom i got the rom ( that is 2.3.4) and after that the same problem. I left the phone for a day without a battery out side the phone and tryed it with my original charger ( when i got home ) and starts the batery-loading- shutsdown- after 3 times self turning selft shutngdown it boots`s its self to the recovery menu.I tryed reboot phone---nothing, again to recovery. Ttied full wipe full chache clean ( dont have the dalvic clean or battery statts clean in the original recovery) and again nothing, again it boots to the recovery and stays there for ever. Turning off the charger of the device after cleaning everything it cannot even turn at any logo not to talk forr the rom. I need help becouse i dont know should i buy a new battery or a new motherboard for my s2 ( That is Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 16GB 1.2GHz CPU. And the rom i had was AOKP milestone 2 with Android 4.2.2 i think, very lite on apps.) Thanks in advance.
Seems like a battery problem. Soon as flipboard came on it died.? Flip uses a lot of power so that may have bin the last straw for the battery. Did you notice any problems before this happened? Go to a local phone shop and ask to test a battery.
Don`t know did i mentioned but on charger the phone boots and after 3 flashes of battery charging logo going on and off it boots to recovery and if i remove the cable ( charger or usb) the phone stays on for ever. But it must be plugged to make it go to either recovery or download , but only in download mode if i remove the cable the phone shuts down instantly.
Have no success in rooting, flashing, clearing roms and nothing, I even tried the galaxy s2 usb jig for reseting the flash counter to give it for a repair in a warranty, but still with no luck.
Hopefully wiping cache and factory reset under the factory recovery will let it boot

Does any one read the first post. i all ready did that with the 2 stok recoverys the come from official samsung s2 rom for my country with android 2.3.6 and 4.1.2
Test with new or borrowed battery and see if it stays on. Take it to a local shop and ask nicely to try one out. I'm sure they won't mind to just test. If it stays on great news. Before you go to the shop Put neatrom 4.1.2 on an ext SD and philz kernel also a cm rom +gapps and try and flash one or the other while your in the shop. If all is well and it works pay for the battery and smile if it doesn't stay on then you may want to look while you're in the shop for a new phone.

It all started when i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I tought it was to confusing to use the long way of rooting so i used to supercurio auto root kernel. I followed the instructions and everything went fine, but when the phone rebooted (like it said it would) it got frozen at the Yellow Triangle boot screen. After this i tried to flash many different kernels without luck, i tried to flash firmware roms aswell but that didn't work either.
The battery seems to be depleted and there is no way for me to open the Download Mode.
Im really new to the android world and i would be the happiest man in the world if i could possibly get the right answers.
P.s! When my phone actually had battery i couldn't open the Recovery Mode
No download mode then you need the USB recovery jig ebay/Google .
With a charged battery .
jje
But i can't charge it since the phone is stuck at the empty battery icon with the looping circle in it (which is stuck aswell). The phone just gets hotter when i try to charge it but i doesn't do any good at all
I think you'll just have to buy a jig and find a way to charge the battery again.
Maybe you can try a full battery from a friend?
Or charges yours in the Galaxy S II of a friend.
After that just try to reflash en wipe everything in cwm.
Good luck!
OKey, thanks for the reply but what does the USB jig really do? I have heard that it only boots the phone into download mode. But even if that works it still wont get the phone to operate as it should since i tried to flash different kernels before when i had battery left.
If i charge the phone right now, it will first show me the empty battery and then it just reboots back to the battery icon. If i press Volume down - Home - Power button it just says that i have to low battery and that it wont go into download mode. Recovery mode has not worked since the first time i tried to flash to Supercurio's auto kernel.
Plz help!
The experts should explain it better but the jig I think allows you to write data directly to the nand. There should be external chargers for the s2, you could try searching for that too.
I suppose what you should take away from this is that it pays to avoid shortcuts. I'm pretty sure it says on the cf thread that the auto root doesn't work on the phone.

Maybe you should try once more flashing a complete stock rom with repartion and pit.
A jig just puts your device into download mode.
It is very cheap on Ebay.
I don't think it is smart to try charging.
I once had a problem like this with the original Galaxy S .
I went to shop where I bought the phone and asked for a battery.
Just try to get a full battery and jig.
I think that is your only chance...
Good luck!
Have you tried letting it charge for some while? The S2 gets a little hot when charging so thats probably not a problem, if i were you i would let it charge for an hour or so and then try to enter download mode again
Thanks but if i plug the phone in with the charger nothing really happens. On the screen it's just a empty battery and within that battery there is some kind of circle that should be swirling but it is frozen, therefor i dont think the phone is actually getting any power...
Even if i set it up with a USB jig and a new battery, what kind of kernel should i use? And should i flash it with a new firmware?
I really have no clue on this one.
The phone only reacts to the button combination regarding download mode, but whilst in there it just says "low battery !! Can't download !!" and that's it.
Any more advices? I will die of happiness if someone helps me with this!
Thanks.
Looks like you need a service centre
or flash stock rom via Odin after accessing download mode via buttons or recovery jig .
You dont want a kernel you want full new stock firmware .
jje
Yea i got that now, but i live in sweden and before all of this i tried the swedish firmware version and it just says FAIL! in Odin.. im sure it would work out if i could get the firmware to reset the phone, which it does right? I guess i should fix me a battery since it seems i can't charge it properly. Any one who could explain it more detailed? It would help me alot.
After a night time charge, my phone started to perform strange and I can't seem to get out of the situation.
It started with the temperature display showing on the battery when turning on. I am unable to start the phone, without it being connected to a powered on charger.Without a powered cable in, it just powers off, then goes back to the battery / temp display.
Upon starting, the phone runs fine, apart from the fact that it thinks there is something plugged into the USB port. This sometimes shows itself as the phone thinking it's still being charged to it thinking it's plugged in as a USB data connection.The USB port has been cleaned with the same outcome.
The phone can go from showing 0% charge to being flagged up as fully charged in under 10 minutes. Power the phone off and it will revert to charging as normal.
I'm unable to connect Odin to reflash as the USB port is detected as "unknown" device and I've tried this on numerous machines with the same outcome.
I'm unable to boot into recovery mode with clockworkmod, this coming up with the standard samsung boot options.
Is there a rom that I can copy over the phone, that will pass the Samsung validation check for ROM installation with the Down / power / action button combo.
I getting a bit frustrated with this at the moment, so any help advised will be great.
Cheers
Same thing happened to me, kinda, flash hyperdroid 4.0,you won't be sorry and it'l fix your. Problem.

Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Cheers for all the info so far.
Things tried.
Different battery
USB port cleaned with isopropyl alcohol with both Qtip and new tooth brush.
Numerous factory resets
Battery left out for an hour for full reset
Wipes with CMW recovery with SD card in and Out
I am unable to connect to a machine, so I am unable to use Odin to reflash.
I've just ordered a Jig, so will try that as soon as it arrives.
I'll try the hyperdroid 4.0. Does that flash ok with the stock bootloader as the CWM recovery does not boot, even though the phone is rooted ok.

Well an update to my issues.
The Jig turned up today, after two inserts the usb port occasionally was detected correctly. This gave me enough time to reload the kernal.
After another Jig reset (successfull this time) I was able to connect to Odin and reflash the handset.
The battery is still reporting funny things (goes from 60% to full in 5 minutes or charges normally) so I'll be doing a few more resets / wipes and reinstallations to see if I get to a normal place.
Thanks for all your help.
I have the similar problem as yours.
From time to time the phone thinks its connected to USB.When this happenes I get a "Batery Overvoltaged" reading using Batery Spy App. And I can't connect to my PC using USB. The other thing happening is the phone is waking up as soon as I turn it off and if I try to turn it off again it freezes and u need to reset or pull the batery out. I though I solved the problem when I left the phone off without batery for 12 hours but that only worked for a day and now it started again this time it switches to driving mode on and off, and USB connection. I tried Hard reset ,reverting to a stable ROM with CWM , cleaning the port with alcohol, puting the phone without the back cover and the battery in a bowl of rice for 12hours(water damage?) , cleanng caches, battery stats, different kernels, removed the SD card.
I don't know what trigers this but it drains battery fast and I too had the batery going from 30% to zero in a flash and the fast charginng atleast once. Couple of times the phone even started by itself when inserted back the batery...
Please keep me posted with your progress, I surfed google and found this particular problem several times in other places so it happens more often than I though, but no one posted a fix, or atleast what is causeing the problem
Hi. i have got my s2 since 10 months and no hassle. however since yesterday, the screen wont turn off and i could not make it turn on again using the home key. finally it completely switch off and i could not switch it on(neither soft or hard reset helped).
I just left in with the wall charger. nothing on the screen but once the battery was full, it vibrated and i could switched it on. it worked flawlessly for the day but now while i was using gtalk, same thing happened and i could not switched it on.
what could be the problem? i am an international user and bought the s2 from unlocked-mobile.com.
kindly note that i made no tweaking nor any custom firmware nor installed any new software. i only reecntly removed go launccher.
kindly help me please
if download mode works then u can flash ,or in recovery mode factory wipe.....yes forgot does it show charging batt icon ,wile charging?
Charge battery .
backup data factory reset phone ..
That fails try another battery .
That fails try Samsung service centre .
Or try download mode and flash new stock firmware via Odin .

ok will try flashing ics. but why would this happen? what is the cause of such problem?
ok i did flash the ics and still the same problem. help me plz
Sounds suspiciously like the "Sleep of Death". Been discussed at length in dozens and dozens and dozens of threads here.
thanks. but why suddenly i am having this?
i have not installed any new kernel, firrmware or programs.
I dont understand why people with stock not rooted phones comes here and thinks this is samsung service, since it is purely stock..go to the retailer or call samsung.

Hi. My phone is behaving kinda weird since yesterday. Suddenly it turned off, and when I was trying to power it on it was turning off after Samsung Galaxy S2 boot logo, or after carrier splash (I was running full stock without any root or modifications).
When I plugged in the charger it was randomly showing 2 battery status (sometimes empty, sometimes correct one). Stock recovery mode and download was working fine, it could run on it forever, without reseting.
I decided to install custom recoveries. First time I tried with Philz's one. Same results, battery indicator shows correct value. CWM - working fine. TWRP - working fine, but battery status sometimes points 1% (but it won't turn off), sometimes correct one.
I've also tried flashing new brand ROM through Odin 1.85 and Philz recovery (here I used SlimKat). In both cases the booting errors was the same.
Does anybody have any solution how I can fix it?

Edit: Sorry, gave a wrong answer
Now you have a custom recovery, you might want to try wiping dalvik, cache and data....then try to boot as normal......
If that doesn't work, then you might want to try formatting the memory partitions under "mounts and storage", re flashing the ROM and then try to boot normally.......
This might be my S2 or it might be my W, but it's definitely CM...
I think its battery problem..if some one has same battery put it in your mobile and then try...if it works fine then buy a new battery..

Yes, I checked it 2 days ago. It was battery fault (phone was overheating because of games, and somehow it has an impact on battery).
