[Q] i9100 won't start at all - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help, a few days ago y flashed SlimSaber on my phone, everything was ok until this morning, when i woke up the phone was off, when i truned on it got stuck on the samsung logo screen, then i tried to start it in Download mode, connected to the pc opened ODIN and tried to flash a stock rom, for some reason the phone got disconected in the middle of that, after that i tried again and this time it finished but said FAIL then i unplugged the phone tried to restart it but nothing happened now i can´t even get to download mode the phone is just there i can't turn it on and i don't know what to do, i need help plz

If the phone won't boot at all, what exactly do you expect anyone here to suggest ? No Christmas miracle.
Service centre for motherboard replacement (expensive option) or source 2nd hand board from 'donor' phone (search online) & either replace yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it (cheaper option).

Try to use JIG, but you don't assure you nothing. The assistance will find out for sure that you have installed a cooked ROM and you will pay a lot for a simple replacement. And then I advise you to follow the many guides available online to disassemble and reassemble the pieces of the Galaxy S2. Let me know

thanks for the help but at this point I think i'll buy another celphone I'm thinking on the galaxy grand or the galaxy win

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!

I Think I'm Bricked...

I think I've bricked my Galaxy S II.. I got it yesterday and tried to flash 2.3.5. When I was flashing with Odin, the program went unresponsive and crashed. There was nothing else to do but take out the battery.. I shouldn't have done it, but I did. And now it won't turn on at all. I've tried the 3 button method, for download mode, and a jig from my old i9000. Nothing has worked. The screen wont even turn on. I don't know what to do... Help Please??
you need a jtag.If it wont go into download or recovery its gone.
What do you, Jtag? I've got a usb jig, does that work? Or are they the same thing?
*What do you mean
aren't jigs phone-specific?
Any new info on this? Did jtag worked or whatever. I keep eye on this thread but looks like OP disappeared. Genuinely curious what happened with the phone.
Hmm .. very wierd that phone wont turn on ... i have broken Odin flashes purposedly many times myself but always I can get back into it ...
You could try power drain ... remove battery ... press power on button for 10 seconds (WITHOUT BATTERY IN) ... now put battery back in and try to go into Download mode.
Sorry but i got busy with other stuff but wanted to explain to him about the JTag.Its a special box called a RiffBox JTag and what it does is basically wipes the motherboard/bootloader and in most phones repears the bootloader aswell of a fully bricked phone so it can be put into download mode again letting you re-flash via Odin and thus saving your phone.A little miracle that means no more bricked phones.There doesnt seem to be that many around and to buy they aint cheap at all but if you can find a dealer or a phone shop who has one they can do it for you.For example.I bicked my phone and was going to buy the box on ebay.es imported (in spain there isnt any for sale) for 160euros complete or 140 without cables.Searched this site:
http://www.jtagbox.com/riff-jtag-bo...s-unbrick-bricked-phone-riff-box-owners-list/
and found a shop in Barcelona who did it for me for 35euros plus postage "BARGIN!!!!".If you search youtube and google for RiffboxJtag in your country you should find someone with a unit willing to help out or check the link ive given as it has a list of users worldwide.
EDIT:A jig is not a JTag.A jig will boot your SEMI-BRICKED(phone showing some kind of life ex.classic icon of phone/arrow/computor,menu and back arrow lights work e.t.c.) phone into download mode.A FULLY-BRICKED(dead,no signs of life.wont start.no download,recovery,lights nothing.DEAD!!!) phone needs a JTag
@cooza , Thanks for that explanation and site I even found one near me, that some day might come handy.
I must ask now to further clear my doubts, this riffjtag box, like you said is able to "revive" or "unbrick" _any_ bricked SGS2? No matter how bad is it? Im kinda new around these things and trying to suck up as much info/knowledge possible, before I decide to flash/root/?brick? xD haha ( hope not for last one) my phone.

Hi.As i said before there are semi and hard bricked phones.A semi bricked phone can normally be booted into download mode with the 3 button combo or a jig and your away again.It has the usuall symbol of a phone and a PC with a warning sign in the middle of them.Hard bricked is when the bootloader is damaged and there is basically no return.You got yourself a very expensive paper-weight for the office desk.Its like trying to turn on your phone with no battery in it.Dead,gone and not coming back.Before the Riffbox the only solution was the rubbish bin or maybe change the motherboard(but a few years ago that was an extremely pricey task if possible).Now we have the box.You can screw you phone to the point of no return and still the box will bring it back to life as it wipes the motherboard and in the case of the SGS2 also repears the damaged bootloader which is what boots your phone to start with.One thing to know,and i dont know if it happens to everyone but mine came back with 2.3.3 installed but there was no recovery mode.If this happens all you have to do is re-flash via Odin a more reciente firmware WITHOUT PIT FILE and yourll get recovery mode back at reboot.Obviously youll need to plug in your phone before hand to re-install the drivers.Same with Odin.boot to download,plug in,installs,unplug,then open Odin and flash.
EDIT:yourve got my name there so if something ever happens and you need a hand to re-flash after a jtag just send me a private message.Here to help.

Thank you mate! I am getting my SGS2 this week so ive been doing alot of reading and research about everything. Thanks for your contribution and kind offer to help if ever comes to that. Very appreciated.
No worries mate.truth is its very hard to fully hard-brick an i9100.The main thing to watch out for,and its a mistake that first-time users/flashers have done,is to flash there i9100 phones with i9000 firmware by mistake.An SGS is not an SGS2 and if they are mixed you WILL hard-brick your device.Here on XDA everything is clearly marked and on their right pages so you cant go wrong if you take your time dont rush-in.But just in case you havnt seen it heres the thread:

Hi, dont bother faffing with it mate, if you have only had it a day take it back and tell them it wouldnt boot after an automatic Kies update. If they cant turn it on they wont know you bricked it until it gets back to the factory and to be honest after selling 10 million of these babies they wont even bother checking it out, they'll just put it into spares or straight recondition it.
I did the same thing to my xoom, PC world couldnt turn it on so they just gave me another.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Player 5 Bricked? Help please!

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 5 / S Wifi 5.0 / YP-G70 from eBay (International Version). I tried flashing a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Gingerbread ROM to it with Odin v1.3 and now it won't even light up or turn on. I thought it might work because the device is just like the I9000 without the phone. My device even tried looking for a cellular signal when it clearly did not have the phone capabilities. Now I'm afraid that I spent all this money for nothing.
I've tried every button combination to try to enter download mode and have tried a USB jig from eBay, but since the device doesn't light up or turn on I can't tell if anything has worked aside from Odin not recognizing the device.
Please help!
Update 1:
I've tried Heimdall and that too does not recognize the device. I've also opened the device up and tried buttons combinations with and without the battery and plugging in the device to my computer. Still no success. I think it still "works" because when I plug it in to charge, the back gets warm.
Update 2:
Okay, so I've placed an order to MobileTechVideos.com for their JTAG repair service. From other posts, I've concluded that I probably messed up the bootloader. I'll see how this goes.
Update 3:
Unfortunately MTV wasn't able to repair my device so I got a refund. They'll notify me if they get one working.
Update 4:
MTV found a working solution! I just received my repaired device in the mail today and it works like brand new! XD
go to nearest service center that would be helpful for u !

Galaxy S3 Dead

Hi guys, i'm not a experienced samsung user, i have my S3 like a month ago, bought it in Portugal, i guees it's the international version because it was factory unlocked.
It had stock OS, with lot of apps installed, no root, no custom rom, yesterday I tried un update pending in Samsung Kies (didn´t write the version, dont know if theres a log in Samsung Kies where i can retrieve that version and post here), i made my backup, updated, all day worked ok, i remember answer somebody in Whatsapp and left to charge, today i found it's dead.
I searched and can't access to download mode, recovery mode, i plug to charge and no led, nothing, i just bought online a Micro Usb Jig to try it out.
I downloaded Odin but apparently i have to be in download mode so it appears as Checked, but i cant do a thing with the phone, right now im trying to download the Android SDK to test via cmd if appears as a phone connected at least, but i plug and unplug it in my laptop and not even the usb sounds.
I read about the update that kills S2, but i searched a lot and i dont see the first one with his S3 dead, appreciate any tip, idea, comment you can give to confirm what i dont want to confirm.

pull out the battery and leave it out for 30-60 min. Then put battery back in and boot..
If that doesn't work then take it back to the store and tell them after kies update it did NOT boot
Good luck
Edit:do not use the jig before u have been to the store
Hi guys, just to confirm my battery was ok, my phone is not, completely dead (What we call in spanish Muerte Subita, i guess is Sudden Death in english), i'm sending it to Portugal for warranty, wth, now just wait...

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 won't turn on!

Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

Are you sure it's out of warranty? Samsung offers a 2 year warranty in some countries (afaik everywhere in the EU)
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.
Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.
Pls help guys

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Hi there:
I had bought the device in June 2011
I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.
Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.
Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.
I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.
Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2
Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.
Many thanks in advance.

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
