Hello friends,
Sorry for making a new thread but i am little bit desperate.
I have a problem with my galaxy s3.Last night i left it with 5% battery and in the morning when i wake up the phone was shuted down,nothing special i just thought that the baterry was discharced.I puted the phone to charge and i tried to start it after an hour and the phone was still dead.I left the phone two more hours and the symthoms were the same.
When i say dead i mean that it does nothing,no light...nothing at all.
I have to mention that i tried to start the phone with another baterry and it was still dead.
I tried also to start it in boot mode by pressing power button ,volum up and home button in the same time and the phone was still dead.
What can i do in this case?..
My main problem is that i can recover my phone number that was saved in the phone.I have to tell you that i had my gmail configured on the phone,google play configured but i didn t syncronized the contacts and i am curios if the syncronizatios it is made automaticly ?
What options do I have to recover my data?
Thank you

1.Take out the battery and check that the gold contacts are O.K. then try and boot.
2. Leave the battery charging overnight so it charges fully and try to boot.
3. See if your PC recognizes the phone when you plug it in via USB.
OK try this:
1- take out the battery ( make sure that it still have some juice in it )
2- Keep holding the 3 button combo for download mode ( Volume down + Home + power buttons )
3- insert the battery while holding the 3 button combo.
If this doesn't work then u might have some hardware failure , not sure though.
Good luck > this happened to me before when I was flashing a ROM while the phone was charging but apparently it wasn't and the battery died before It was done flashing.
Same thing happened to my dad's s2 he left it charging overnight and it was dead by morning.

Hi everyone
My SGS 2 won't start anymore
I charged my phone, then went somewhere, used the phone, put it back in my pocket and the next time i looked at it it was shut down and i couldn't turn it on anymore, nothing happens at all.
theres no problem with the battery (it works on another SGS 2)
I rooted my phone and put lightning rom 1.2 on it. i had no problem rooting the phone and its the first rom since stockrom.
What should I do?
So you mean your phone won't boot anymore? There is no Samsung logo or anything?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
no logo, no vibration, just black
tried normal startup as well as "vol down, home, power"
Recovery vol up + home + pwr release at splash screen .
You can either try the usb recovery jig though this poster says it does not work but in my view worth a try.

Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

Did you try removing battery, replacing and then turning on. I had the same issue yesterday and this worked for me.

Having the exact same problem,
Charged phone
Listened to some music for 30 minutes
put the phone away on the table
Two hours later I noticed the phone had shut down.
Trying to boot it nothing.
Nothing when put in wall socket charger.
Nothing when connected to USB.
Vol Up + Home + Power button does nothing.
running Lightning rom 1.2 or 1.3
Phone is 2.5months old.
You may have your last try - USB jig
Same problem here, shut down the phone to put a new microsd and when i try to start it only a black screen, no samsung logo, no vibrate, no nothing....
I try to remove sim and microsd and no result, changed battery, no result, battery works in another SGS2....
Any solution?
EDIT: WORKS AGIAN!!!! i leave it alone without battery around 30 mins then put battery and working again...
my phone won't turn on. I set it down around 26% battery and went to check it about 30 min later. BLACK. plugged it in. battery break still nothing... no vibrate no lights nothing!
im leaving battery out for the night and will try it back in in the morning but im doubtful! my life sucks.

Tried many things and not working. Sending it in for warranty. At least they wont know its hacked until they fix it. Maybe they wont charge me...

Hi guys,
Very confused here!
I was running the latest AOKP Hydrogen rom and one of the latest Siyah kernels...
I recently moved onto the S3, so I was basically prepping my S2 to be sold. What happened was as follows:
I had my S2 connected to my PC to get some data off of it;
I went into the factory reset menu and it froze so I unplugged the USB cable (I assume it was waiting for the SD card to become available.
It displays the "settings is not responding. Would you like to close?" message, but I clicked wait and it seemed to work fine as I'd disconnected the USB cable;
At this point the battery was at about 19%;
I clicked factory reset with wipe SD card;
After a few minutes I check the phone and it's completely blank. I figure it's doing something and can't turn the screen on so I leave it for a few more minutes;
Eventually I grow concerned and assume the phone has crashed, so I hold down the power button to do a hard reset.
After this the phone does not turn on.
It does the following:
If I try to turn it on it displays the SGS2 logo (with the yellow triangle) for a few seconds and then turns off.
If I connect it to the power it displays the loading screen of the battery charge app for a few seconds and then turns off.
Sometimes if I mash the buttons it will flash on and off with a pure white screen until I hold the power button and turn it off.
Any ideas, guys?
My only idea is that something crazy has happened with the battery as I did swap my extended battery with my girlfriend's normal battery last night. As I work in a phone shop, I'll charge up the battery in another phone to make sure it has power.
But I know the battery has power, and the phone it doing exactly the same thing with my old 1650mah battery (which may or may not have power in it).
Any ideas? I was going to be selling it for around £200, so it was gonna really take the load of my shiny, new S3! 0_o

If it was bricked it wouldnt turn on even a bit. Just charge it or try changing the battery.

If I try to charge it it displays the SGS2 charging screen for a few seconds and then switcher straight off.
I just got into work and tried my colleagues 2000mah battery which had 32% in it. Exactly the same problem. WTF????
Thanks
Edit: FYI, it turns off before entering download mode or recovery. WTF????
Maybe you hit this ?

That's just what I was thinking, actually
I couldn't find a description of what actually happens when this brick happens. The page doesn't really say... Does anywhere say?
Edit: I swear I didn't even flash the Siyah RC6 that was known to brick the phones either... -_-;;
Thanks!
It's not just a specific kernel, more are actually faulty. The whole story is here.

your phone is ok as far as it shows u the s2 logo
you have 2 things to do , try to go to recovery or download mode and formate data/factory reset then flash another rom , btw what kernel u used before your phone go to this situation ? if you were using stable kernel "cm,neak,fluxi,syah stable" so you are safe from hardbrick bug , and the hard brick bug is done only if you have faulty kernel and wibed your data through recovery , and this isn't your situation , so don't be afraid

Thanks for saying, but I can't get into recovery or download. The phone switches off before then!
That's what's so confusing! xD
Thanks
With a known good batter try hard resetting to download mode 2x in a row.. Hold the button config to get into download mode.. Hold it through two restarts.. Might work.

I've nuked mine a few times with buggy kernels, sounds like a similar situation. I got my device back by flashing CM9 resurrection, then flashing Siyah, and finally from CWM flashing an ICS-based stock ROM.
I'd suggest taking a backup of your efs unless you're selling it with stock.

i am having exactly the same problem.i did a factory reset after flashing siyah kernel (SiyahKernel v3.3.1) on Resurrection remix v2.2.let me know if you guys find any solutions
JIG
try to use a download mode JIG.
I'm not sure if a link will violate xda-rules....
google it
dont worry
if you boot up and are getting the sg2 logo then you have not bricked you phone.
to fix simply download a .tar version of any rom and run odin to pda reinstall if you wanted to you could go the whole hog and reflash a fresh cf-kernal (rooted or stock) and then flash fresh firmware. just remember to get the kernal that originally matches the (ithink) your correct baseband ie xxki4
there should be no worries aslong as you dont pull the plug.
could have had a worse error saying installation incomplete please use kies then you would have to had taken battry out reinserted and hoped the three butn combo for rec. mode worked happened to me awhile back lol
hope i helped you
ps never read your post fully just skimmd the jist of it although the above should be applicable
also try resetting your battry stats in cwm
finally fixed
thanks for the help everyone.i have fixed it now.it seems like the problem was with the updated version of siyah kernel .i managed to put the phone in download mode.(kept the phone on the charger for a while. than, i don't know some how when i tried to go to download mode it did).and flashed siyah kanel v3.2.6.4 via odin
Hello all!!
I've been using Omega 33.1 for a few days. And last two days the phone started to bug a lot. When it was locked screen it didn't wanted to unlock (just black screen) I've had to pull out a battery and power it on, and after few hours again the same happend. Apps also were laggy.
And finaly an hour ago, same happend and since then it want even boot up. It looks comletely dead, it do not even charge. I've tried everything, power key + volume + home, i've tried to charge it (even if it doesn't show light on top)... and nothing...
Is it dead or is the some hardware reset or something?
Try another battery .
Read the dead phone thread .

Hi!
My Galaxy S2 suddenly died today and I have not been able to turn it on.
This has happened before, but it worked after switching battery, this time it didn't.
I have tried many things that people have suggested on Google, but I am not even able to get into recovery/download mode.
The phone was running NeatROM 4.4.4.
What did you do ?

I checked my phone and saw that I received a message, put it in my pocket, took it up - wouldn't respond.
Could still use some help, thanks.
Try putting a new battery in that you are sure has some charge already in it .
Try booting into recovery/download mode .
If it doesn't still turn on it may be that your screen has died or mainboard is dead . Both of which require taking it for repairs as it is kinda like swap the part hit and miss kinda repairing. Still I guess if screen goes bad you should feel some vibration .
Plus it would be nice to know that your phone didn't go off of low battery . Since it can rule out very unlikely scenario that power button has failed or phone died of low battery and charger is refusing to charge the phone .
MOVED FROM GENERAL DISCUSSION
First of all, i'm following the site couple months now,but just registered today so im glad to become part of the community
ok,soo i have this problem that i dont have a power button( defective so i opened the device and cut it off) and i made the mistake to remove my battery but now even if i plug the charger to do the restart trick (quickly remove and replace battery on phone) as i did couple times before to power on, now nothing happens!
Im not sure if it is
1.the battery died,
2.the usb port,the screen ,
3. or if it has something to do with the button i removed
PS: I ve done this couple times before but after some tries it would recognize the battery and show the icon for "charging mode" , but this time after many tries nothing happens :'(
tell me if you need more details
PLS HELP!!<3
