Try returning the phone to completely stock using the official Samsung files and odin. Look in the development section. If it keeps doing it after it may be a hard rive issue.

Hey all! Im new to xda-developers I decided to post here because I honestly got alot of help from here already. So anyway, here goes....I used ODIN to flash a new firmware onto my GS2(i9100) and all went well..got the green "PASS" box and whatnot.
Shortly after the phone rebooted but here is where my problem starts. The phone is stuck on the "Glowing S" screen (Picture of a large S animating/changin colours and Samsung Galaxy SII written at the bottom)
It has been sitting here for nearly an hour now. I have tried pressing and holding the power button and battery pulls but to no avail.
I can enter ODIN mode (vol - , HOME, POWER) but I cannot get into recovery. Everytime i press (VOL+,HOME,POWER) the green android robot just sits there for maybe 5 secs and then the phone reboots and gets stuck AGAIN >_<
I don't know what to do Its ok if i need to wipe my data etc bcuz i got backups
My concern is getting my phone in working order again and ASAP because I need my phone for my work
If you can get into download mode just re flash the ROM again, the same thing happened to me and this fixed it

I reflashed a million times (ok 7 times really) but same thing
i reallly REALLY dont want to hear my phone is bricked :/ if i cant sort it out i would carry it in to the local store but they gave me an estimated time of 3 weeks because the owner would be out of town :crying:
Probably just needs a factory reset.
Next time list the firmware(s).Thats more important than an owners holiday arrangements.
Similar problem
My phone is stuck after the Samsung galaxy S2 screen. I took it to the service center but no luck. They said I ll have to flush the software privately because it was bought in Singapore (overseas model) and India software doesn't work or change my complete board to an India board. Any idea on how I can go about fixing it ?
get into recovery & clear data/cache

Wrong forum bro (this is a Sprint forum, and we have the N900X variant, not the N9000X). But, I would highly recommend a refresh of your OS. You have some outstanding roms from which to choose, both KitKat and Jellybean. I happen to know how awesome they are, inasmuch as I've been drooling over them the last few nights being filled with envy.

Ok guys, first post here. My galaxy tab model GT-P5113TS is having an issue that I can't seem to find on any site including this one.
Little background, this problem first started several months ago. My wife ran the battery completely dead on the tab, we didn't have a "samsung" charger and couldn't get it to charge up. Bought new charger, got it charged, and ever since then, the screen will work for anywhere from 15-20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, then just stops working. Hitting the power button will turn the screen off, hitting it again brings up the lock screen, but the screen will still not recognize any touches. The side buttons still work, just not the touch screen.
Letting the tab sit for a couple hours is the ONLY thing that lets the touch screen work again. But it will only work for a minute or two again before it stops working. I tried a soft reset several times to no avail. Kind of forgot about the tab, left it for a while. Picked it up today after charging it and still no different than a couple months ago. I tried the factory reset several times and it made no difference. Usually the screen won't stay responsive long enough to make it through the whole set up process.
I'm pretty new to digging into these things. I'm not afraid to give it a shot, since the thing is useless in its current state. But most of the lingo and abbreviations are new to me. If anyone can point me towards a solution, I'd be VERY grateful! I'll do my best to answer any questions to help as well.
PS, we bought it used off ebay, so no warranty
Bump for some help!!

Well, you're in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the gt p7500/7501/7510/7511 or the galaxy tab 10.1 number 1 if you will.
So we can't help you, even if we wanted too (unless someone in this forum also owns a tab 2).
I suggest you take a look in the correct forum, I'm sure you'll have better luck there.

XDA is a big place and it's sometimes a bit complicated to get where you want to go so no worries, we've all been there at one point ?

Rom- s5 sensations version 7
I was using my phone for the past two weeks with no problem, all of a sudden today it would not unlock, I held down the power button then a screen with all these different colours came up
It eventually went away and the screen went black again
Now nothing works it ill not power on and LED wont come on when charging
Can the phone have been hard bricked after 2 weeks of installing the custom rom? :/
Thanks in advance

Hi! This herna from XDA Assist.
Well, normally if you did not touch any deeper thing in your ROM you should have no problem if you have been using it for as much time. Anyway this question should be done in the above thread, so I will move it there so you can get a better reply from people using the same device or even the same ROM than you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help
I will move it to the original place where it should be, and wish you to get the answer you are waiting for.
Try usb jig to force download mode, if that doesn't work then it sounds like a brick -sorry.

I just dont understand how it could be bricked after being perfectly fine for 2 weeks and i had been using it like 5 minutes before no problem :/
Blame the emmc chip, it is very fragile and can go pop at any moment.
Try reading the dead boot recovery thread in general forum.
After a while ofor using my phone the top left part of my touch screen becomes unresponsive and I can't press some of my menu buttons, eBay and inbox for example......a restart fixes the problem and I can't seem to duplicate it, it just happens. .....already got a replacement phoene and it's making me wanna ask for a note 5 in exchange next time....anybody else experienced this issue yet

So you got a replacement phone, and it's doing the same thing? If so , maybe its an app you are downloading. I never heard of this problem, and it's odd that it would happen to you 2 times in a row, if that's the case

Couldn't have said it better. I also haven't had any problems with my phone (yet). By the way, my aunt just got a Note 5 and has had countless problems with it (even more than what people have reported here). First, her phone would lock up completely randomly. Then, she got a replacement and had issues with the speakers on her phone. The problems just kept coming. She now has switched to this phone and is way happier with it.

That is not encouraging, considering these two phones are essentially exactly the same device lol.
Thanks for the suggestion on it being on of my apps......I Uninstalled "easy unrar, unzip & zip" problem seems to have gone away.....it was either that or dropbox I Uninstalled both at the same time and haven't had the problem, gonna give it another day or 2 without a reboot and attribute it to that app....
Back to the drawing board the issue just happened to come back right after that post. ......I guess I'll deal with the occasional restart and hopefully when we finally get 6.0 the problem won't come back
Having the exact same issue with my new Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ (received phone Dec 29) . And as the OP states, a restart temporarily fixes the issue. In addition, this is for sure a software related problem because I can rotate the phone on it's side but still will be unable to select the menu in top left corner. Rotate back vertical, not able to select menu in top left corner but can select the menu in top right corner (if there is one for the app). Sometimes I have been able to close the app, reopen and the problem is temporarily fixed.
I'm surprised this issue hasn't happened to too many other people......especially since it happened in both phones Verizon has given me, I would assume it's a wide range issue for a lot of users
Wow that's strange nothing wrong with mine except this crappy battery life. A 3700mah battery like the droid turbo 2 should be in order
Having the same issue here for a few weeks now. A reboot fixes it temporarily. I have been trying to pinpoint an app but no luck yet. It seems random.

Did anyone have tapatalk installed and receive an update today? Previously when this happened I had to reboot to clear it up. After my tapatalk update it is now working with no reboot. Could be coincidence. Not sure.

Well it was definitely tapatalk. If anyone having the issue still uninstall or update and reboot.
