Hi everyone,
First, please excuse me for my bad english
So, I'm here because I have a really big problem with my Samsung I9100.
Indeed, I will explain my problem. I installed the SENTINEL ROM 5.00 a few month ago, and I never had a problem before.
But yesterday, I don't know why, I have so much problem with my Network, (My friends haven't the same problem and we have the same operator, it's Orange)
So, I don't understood why I had this kind of problem. After a few minutes, my GS 2 shut down...
I tried to boot but It had no effect !! I fall in a reboot loop, whith no home screen.
After a panic I try so much solution :
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, reboot. Same problem ! Sometimes, I can access to the menu, but a few minute after, it shut down again.
I tried to restore an official firmware, no effect, He can't load, he is blocked with "Samsung animation boot".
I tried to restore with a ROM (Rootbox 3.91), no effect too, I can access temporary to my message, and after a few minutes, he shut down !
Sometimes, I just click in the home button (The only button), and it shut down !
I observed now, it can't book if I don't connect it to the alimentation's cable.
Really, I'm so lost, I understand nothing. Especially, I didn't do something special to make this...
If someone can help me...
Thanks !
Flash stock rom with Odin, re-root your phone & restore nandroid backup or reflash custom rom & start again from scratch.

Thanks, I will try this, but my sometimes, my USB port of my I9100 has so much problem with the connexion.
Could you give me a link for a stock rom please ?
Thanks mate.
It sounds like you would get into recovery-mode?
Do you have an ClockworkModRecovery?
Can you make a nandorid backup with the recovery?
Do you have an older Recovery you could restore without too much data-loss?
Is the battery ok? Can you start your Phone if you connect it with the charger? If yes I would recommand to backup as many iportant data as possible.
I'm running sentinelRom 5.0 too and I have no problems.

Hi Baerlinaer, thanks to answering me.
I had no problem with SentinelRom 5.0 since few month, but yesterday I don't know why, I have so much problem in the same time.
I can access to the recovery mod, and I restore my back up since the recovery mode. I tried to restore 3 differents ROM.
I don't know if the battery is OK cause in the screen, I have 100% but when I disconnect the alimentation's cable. It shut down ! And I can boot but after the first boot animation, It shut down !
I don't care about my data really, it's nice but I just wanna recover my phone with all his fonctionnality !
I alrealdy make a backup !
I am very lost cause I don't know why it do that :/
Can you start the phone withe the cable plugged in but without the battery?
Couse if you can, it is the Battery. I had such a Problem with a Laptop once. The Battery was broken and it rebootet after a few seconds or minutes. I tried everything, to recover it and then I took out the Battery and it run perfectly well.

I can't start the phone whith the cable plugged and whithout the battery. Nothing appeared in the screen.
Dude, are you sure we can start the phone whithout a battery and only with the cable plugged ?
Because now, It can't start...
Sorry, I could't test it untill now, I didn't had my Phone. No we can't do this.
Do you have another Battery for sgs2? Or a friend of yours? Then youcould test it. Otherwise you might try another ROM...
Maybe you can get a stock rom here http: www androidfirmwares net PhoneFirmware Download 69 to do what MistahBungle recommended...
Sorry I could't help furthere more.

Well you mest up with rom manager without any knowledge about it. AFAIK Your phone is now fully brick. You need to replace your motherboard(GOOD LUCK WITH WARRANTY )
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk
If Flashing and Unbrick not working, what ever you do or how you try, then you probably messed up your boot ROM and it´s BRICKED. SORRY FOR YOU, but always, I MEAN ALWAYS read and search the forum 10 TIMES, before you start up messing your phone. It can very yeasely BRICKED.
I hope you can change it from service for free. Say that you trying restore to FACTORY setting(just make up some story[believable], why you was need to restore to FACTORY settings). Maybe they belive you and change your BRICKED phone to new one. Thumbs up for you and dont do anything stupid next time!!!
P1tt187, just out of curiosity - how did you even do that?
When I tried to use ROM Manager it told me to install the correct drivers, but Galaxy Ace isn't supported, so I just resigned. Which drivers did you use?
P1tt187 My friend had the same thing, he used a ROM Manager to back up the ROM in the ACE. Identical symptoms. Only the Samsung service will help. Tell him that you turned off phone and not turn on (Phone) . Samsung Service exchanged him motherboard in ACE (on guarantee).
Galaxy Ace not supported yet by ROM manager! Sorry for you but search the forum(or just GOOGLE it) before trying something first. There is always GOOGLE to helping(if you not found it here). Just USE it!
I have rooted and customized all my phones(HTC, SAMSUNG), JAILBREAKED AND UNLOCKED all my IPhones(3G and 4G), just waste some time, for GOOGLE! But you must be patient. Everything is not coming in first search(but everything is there, TAKE THE TIME and be sure for right thing).
CHEERS!
Hey,
I just have the same problem, but I didn't touch to the ROM or anything else
I just rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, turn it off and it never turn on again...
Since my phone is rooted, I don't know if the warranty is lost, but I think so...
I already tried to remove the battery and then put it back while holding ok + volume down + power, but it didn't work, the screen stays completely black...
I'll let my phone rest a few days and then send it to Orange while I pray --'
Any other idea guys ?
( sorry for my bad english...)

Of course I dont know what you exactly done or not but if its stuck in black screen and cant flash with ODIN, then I think its TOTALLY bricked. Sorry for you, hope you get it changed to new one! THUMBS UP FOR YOU!
hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

Good evening,
I was performing a perfectly normal factory reset in CWM tonight, when it froze while formatting data. Then screen went blank. Tried to reboot, nothing. No recovery mode or download mode using three button combos.
I was trying a new ROM (Omega Black-Blue), but decided to revert to my backup of HydrogenICS. It was during the wipe prior to restoring the backup that the problem occurred.
I have Siyah v3 running, and have had not problems in the past.
Any ideas anyone??
did you try removing your battery keep sometime out and try again 3 botton Combo for DL mod
if you can get a full charged battey also try the same..
get your battery out of the phone , and i think you didnt wip system , so you can enter recovery and enter download mode also , i think it is battery proplem happened to me once and i though my phone is dead but after recharging my battery in onether s2 phone for 1 hour and get it back in my phone , all goes fine
first you should try to change the battery, if that doesn't work,
open Odin in the pc, and then try to get into download mode as you would normaly,
except for this you wont see anything on your phones screen, now press volume up
plug it into pc, and see if odin reads it, if it does, try to flash to stock from there,
i know this from experience, it happend to me on my galaxy note
How could it be a 'Good Evening' if you have just bricked your phone?
Try using USB jig..
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S. I tried, charging the battery, replacing the battery with a charged one, download mode, power flushing using all buttons etc. Nothing worked. USB thing did... So why not give it a shot. if nothing works, then just give to Samsung, they will replace it for you.
Cheers
- me!
Don't go making promises around things you have nothing to do with.
If you don't get to go back to stock & reset the flash counter before you send it to Samsung, the experience on here over the past 6 mths has been 50/50 they ignore it & give you warranty service or replacement/they make you pay for it.
It is very much the luck of the draw/dependent on who looks at the phone, Samsung policy is to refuse warranty service in situations like this.

Did you keep the rom zip file in your phone? or can you connect your phone to a computer?
Hold volume up+home+power to recovery mode, try to re-install the rom or try another rom.
If it's available, you may backup your stuff and wipe data and cache before install the rom.

Hey Guys, im desperate..
two days ago i charged my phone overnight as i normally do. Woke up and it was in SOD, which happens all the time (agni kernal, no fix yet).. Pulled the battery, but phone wouldnt boot. Turns out, it freezes during booting resulting in what appears to be a frozen boot loop.
Then i tried to plug it into my recharger, and it was showing a grey battery icon and was frozen on that screen always, the screen doesnt turn off, the battery icon isn't showing that its charging. doesnt change, just shows the same empty battery grey icon with the refresh circle-arrow in the middle.
I tried taking the battery out leaving it out for 5 minutes, draining the battery from the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then trying to charge the phone. Same issue, only showing the grey battery icon when trying to charge and it never changes or goes away.
SO i tried to boot up the phone, but it wont go past the samsung text logo.
I tried entering recovery, but it just freezes on the samsung text logo.
I can not enter download mode either. So ihave no way to run odin from what i can tell.
Im losing my mind here, ive tried almost everything i can think of. And would really appreciate any help on this. It feels like a hard core brick.. I LIVE on my phone due to work and im losing money every day i dont have it. DESPERATELY need this. HELP!!
DatacomGuy,
A usb jig will probably be able to force the phone into download mode again so you can restore it with Odin. If you're up to it, you can do a Google search to get instructions on how to make your own.... or you can buy one online pretty cheap. Here's one on eBay (USB JIG) that looks good with good feedback from the seller.
Thank you.. Ill order one today and report back.
What could have gone wrong you guys think? How did the phone just do this?
I guess no way to get my pics off huh?
I hope the jig will work for you so you can restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2 and start over fresh.
I'm not sure what would have caused the phone to have started boot looping like that. My guess would be that something got corrupted.
There's a thread in the general section on how to Odin flash the stock recovery onto the phone so you can wipe cache and do a factory reset.... (EDIT: Click here to go to the thread) . This is a long shot, but if you can get the phone back into download mode with the jig, you could try installing the stock recovery and just wiping cache without doing the factory reset... then see if you can get the phone to boot up so you can recover stuff off of it.
As far as the pictures go, they may have been saved to the external sd card. You could pop the sd card into another phone if you've got another functioning phone laying around... or use a sd card adapter to mount it straight onto your computer so you can check.
The jig did the trick.. thank god..
The flashing stock recovery did not work. I ended up going back to stock firmware.. 4.1.2 i think..
Thank God i have this back.. Thanks SO much for your help.
