So I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone and I am having this frustrating problem. It's like this, my android is on the table and i press the Home Button to check for any notifications and I realize it's off so I Long Press the Power Button to turn it on nothing happens. The only way to turn it on is by removing the battery and putting it back again and then Long Pressing the Power Button will turn my S2 on. I honestly don't know what is causing this, if it is a hardware or a software problem. It's very annoying because sometime awaiting for an important call while your android is dead can have serious results.**
Model Number:*GT-I9100G
Android Version:*4.1.2
Baseband Version:*I9100GXXLSP
Kernel Version:*3.0.31-893450 [email protected] #2
Build Number:*JZO54K.I9100GXXLSR**
Thank you.

Hi bro. Are you able to gain control of the physical keys. Hold down "volume down", "home button" and "power button".....
Get into the "downloading" screen and download odin (v1.8) and well, reflash the new stock rom

Theres also a guide for rooting the "G" version..
Before you do all this, format your entire phone while charging....
Maybe it might just do the trick>>>

HI. I am using Samsung galaxy ace GT-5830i . I had purchased it this month. Today I upgraded to the latest official firmware . Previously to answer calls i had to slide the button across the screen. But now there are two buttons Green and Red. They get activated by simple touching. "NO SLIDING NEEDED" . It is a real problem as my father occasionally uses the phone. so calls get rejected frequently as he accidently touches the red button. So can i change the way how we can answer the calls.
Details of Phone.
BaseBand Version - S5830i DDLA2
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7 | [email protected]#1
Build - GINGERBREAD.XXLA4
Thanks in advance. So please help me

Ok bro. Ill try it out.
Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

Hi, I thought the brick bug was present in only the leaked firmwares and those highlighted on samfirmware eg the Russian release LQ6 I think.

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

^^Not only with touch CWM but also with "temporary CWM" wjich is what you were using.
Take it to a service center as your phone now needs a motherboard replacement..and I hope you still have warranty..!

Sorry dude
You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Is the brick bug present in ICS? I want to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.3, will I be safe when flashing then?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
And thank you for your reply. In this desperation every reply from community member is like gold.

Can you get into recovery or download mode.Take out the battery for 5 minutes and/or charge the phone for a bit and retry.

Plead ignorance and send it in for warranty repair. I hard bricked my SGS2 last week and it was repaired under warranty, no questions asked. If the repairers can't turn it on they can't tell you voided the warranty and they will just replace the motherboard. In Australia it takes 5 -10 working days.
If it is out of warranty there is a place in the US that claims to be able to repair a hard bricked SGS2, google is your friend.

Galaxy S2 phone shuts and restarts by itself. how to solve this problem?
do not under or overclock - then try a different kernel (siyah or abyss)
Its a 'smart' phone dude. It acts just like humans
Change kernel and use less aggressive undervolt values.
