My galaxy s2 is not charging with the original charger. It doesn't even recognised by the computer. It shows the charging icon for 5 seconds but automatically goes away. I want to flash the mobile. But the computer won't recognise it. I also tried to download stock and custom roms but it fails every time. I also tried to download with torrent for mobile but it didn't work. It charges when I shut off the mobile and switch on again and plug in the charger instantly.*I have reset the mobile several times, wiped data and cache, deleted the battery stats, changed the battery and charger several times. I am using Android jellybean 4.1.2. I think it is a software problem. Someone please help me.*Thanks in advance.what can I do to fix the problem? I
Replace the USB board/port; this is a common problem. It's quick/easy/cheap (~US$10) to do yourself. KeithRoss39 has a guide in the General section which has all the info you need to get it done without fuss (the thread isn't stickied; search for replace USB charger board or similar).

After a night time charge, my phone started to perform strange and I can't seem to get out of the situation.
It started with the temperature display showing on the battery when turning on. I am unable to start the phone, without it being connected to a powered on charger.Without a powered cable in, it just powers off, then goes back to the battery / temp display.
Upon starting, the phone runs fine, apart from the fact that it thinks there is something plugged into the USB port. This sometimes shows itself as the phone thinking it's still being charged to it thinking it's plugged in as a USB data connection.The USB port has been cleaned with the same outcome.
The phone can go from showing 0% charge to being flagged up as fully charged in under 10 minutes. Power the phone off and it will revert to charging as normal.
I'm unable to connect Odin to reflash as the USB port is detected as "unknown" device and I've tried this on numerous machines with the same outcome.
I'm unable to boot into recovery mode with clockworkmod, this coming up with the standard samsung boot options.
Is there a rom that I can copy over the phone, that will pass the Samsung validation check for ROM installation with the Down / power / action button combo.
I getting a bit frustrated with this at the moment, so any help advised will be great.
Cheers
Same thing happened to me, kinda, flash hyperdroid 4.0,you won't be sorry and it'l fix your. Problem.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware or to eliminate hardware /firmware problems /return under warranty .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Cheers for all the info so far.
Things tried.
Different battery
USB port cleaned with isopropyl alcohol with both Qtip and new tooth brush.
Numerous factory resets
Battery left out for an hour for full reset
Wipes with CMW recovery with SD card in and Out
I am unable to connect to a machine, so I am unable to use Odin to reflash.
I've just ordered a Jig, so will try that as soon as it arrives.
I'll try the hyperdroid 4.0. Does that flash ok with the stock bootloader as the CWM recovery does not boot, even though the phone is rooted ok.

Well an update to my issues.
The Jig turned up today, after two inserts the usb port occasionally was detected correctly. This gave me enough time to reload the kernal.
After another Jig reset (successfull this time) I was able to connect to Odin and reflash the handset.
The battery is still reporting funny things (goes from 60% to full in 5 minutes or charges normally) so I'll be doing a few more resets / wipes and reinstallations to see if I get to a normal place.
Thanks for all your help.
I have the similar problem as yours.
From time to time the phone thinks its connected to USB.When this happenes I get a "Batery Overvoltaged" reading using Batery Spy App. And I can't connect to my PC using USB. The other thing happening is the phone is waking up as soon as I turn it off and if I try to turn it off again it freezes and u need to reset or pull the batery out. I though I solved the problem when I left the phone off without batery for 12 hours but that only worked for a day and now it started again this time it switches to driving mode on and off, and USB connection. I tried Hard reset ,reverting to a stable ROM with CWM , cleaning the port with alcohol, puting the phone without the back cover and the battery in a bowl of rice for 12hours(water damage?) , cleanng caches, battery stats, different kernels, removed the SD card.
I don't know what trigers this but it drains battery fast and I too had the batery going from 30% to zero in a flash and the fast charginng atleast once. Couple of times the phone even started by itself when inserted back the batery...
Please keep me posted with your progress, I surfed google and found this particular problem several times in other places so it happens more often than I though, but no one posted a fix, or atleast what is causeing the problem
Since 2 days i have this problem.
When i connect my phone to the adapter it takes several seconds before it actually charging. But when it's full and i dissconnect it from the adapter it just keeps saying that my battery is full and i have to remove the charger.
When i connect my phone to the computer its keeps saying that he doesn't recognize the usb connecter.
What i have tried so far.
- Trying different chargers/cables
- Trying to update software but this can't be done without cable @ me
- Trying to clean up de usb port in the phone
- Battery reset
I have searched whole google and this forum but couldn't find anything related to this. so sorry if it's a repost
First up, do a factory reset. Back your stuff up before, obviously.
What rom/kernel are you running ?

When i did the factory reset it went in a bootloop for some reason.
I am using 2.6.35.7 codeworkx clockworck. I have rooted the phone and put clockworck on it nothing more... and it always worked fine.
I noticed something new. When i put off my phone you see the battery and next to it you see a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it. After that it changes into to a temperature meter showing it's to hot but i allready checked it and it's only 37 degrees.
First of all try the most obvious method such as turning on USB debugging. If that doesnt work go to the method below:
There is no need to do a factory reset. Just reflash your rom or flash a new one but make sure you have done a backup of your files. It worked for me

Sounds like the battery and/or the usb/charging circuitry/components might be on the fritz.
Try Steve's suggestion first (re-flash your rom or another rom), if that doesn't work, try another battery. Or even another charger. Tho you said you're seeing problems when you hook it up to a PC via USB.
If you get the same result after re-flashing same/different rom & with a different battery it would probably be a hardware fault.
I'd flash stock first & try that before restoring any backup, that would give you an indication of whether its a hardware issue (particularly with a different battery).
Hi guys,
couple of days ago my phone was running smoothly until i rooted it and installed a custom rom, i then didn't like it and decided to get back to the stock rom, after installing the stock rom i realized that the phone is not charging from my genuine wall charger or any other charger and some times start charging for 5-10 seconds and then stops charging, However, the phone charges normally when connected to PC/laptop.
if any one know the solution to this please help!
Note: i tried factory reset, wipe cache, re-installing stock rom. nothing seems to work
try a different charging cable

Try a different powersupply.
I had a recent soft bricked due to some "unknown" problems which I couldn't figure out.
Anyways,I was able to boot into download mode and successfully flashed the stock jellybean firmware via Odin.
Now the problem is that my battery is empty and the phone is stuck on an what I think is an "Empty Battery Bootloop" was the battery icon blinking every 5 seconds or so.
Any ideas how to revive it ?
PS : I am unable to boot into recovery as well.
I have attached a screenshot of the issue I am facing.
Ur screenshot says... 404 error
Re-linked.
Maybe something went wrong while you were flashing the ROM via odin. First of all did you tick Only the right options while flashing in odin?
Supposing you did,
1. Maybe the ROM file which holds information for your battery might be facing curroption.
2. Maybe the kernel (the default one coming with the stock ROM) was not flashed properly.
In either case, I would suggest trying to boot into download mode and try to flash the whole thing all over again. If the problem persists, flash a different kernel/ROM or both.
II'm pretty sure that should fix the problem though.

Tried flashing via Odin for like three consecutive days.Still no luck.
I have googled it and found out that some users were facing the same problem when their battery was completely empty and the phone wont start because it didnt had enough juice to boot up.You know how to solve that problem?

Just keep it on charging wid 0.7mA or a 1mA charger for few hrs... if still it doesnt work..use a usb cord to charge via lappy...
Also use someone else's battery to boot up... and make a wipe data via stock recovery
Charged with USB for about 4-5 Hours.I cant get hold of a 1mA charger here.Using another battery is nearly impossible for me since none of my friends seem to have a S2.
Any other phone which has a battery identical to ours? (Or a Samsung phone with 4 pins possibly.)

Nope. Don't try a battery not designed for the device. Asking for trouble.
Time to change it with a new battery or hook up with an external charger?
PS : Took it to a local mobile repair shop and asked for a universal battery charger.
When I gave him the battery,the first thing he asked was if the phone ever got wet.
He said there's some I don't know what on the battery due to licking it.
I recently replaced the charging circuit from a trusted Samsung shop and he says it's totally fine.
Seems like some kind of corrosion on the battery.Any ideas on how to remove it ?
Anyone ?
Hello,I have a serious problem with my i9100g, at first the phone didn't wan't to charge, i changed the kernel and rom, and made some random stuff, and it worked, and the phone charged again, and after a while about 2 weeks or so, The same problem happened, but this time I tried every thing i did before and some other things, but with no help, then i decided to flash the official rom, but the phone is not recognized by the pc, after that i made a huge mistake, i used the mobile odin - on an unsupported kernel I believe - to flash the official rom, but what happened is i'm stuck now on the samsung screen boot, can't connect it to pc and can't charge the mobile BUT *there is a strange thing* I used a charger that lit a green lamp when the phone is charging, it turns green when i connect it while the phone is closed "but when the phone starts to open that green battery that shows that it's charging -or when the mobile is on- it stops charging"
SUMMARY ON MY PROBLEM:
My Mobile Phone is I9100g
The Phone is stuck on SAMSUNG boot screen (Because I used Odin Mobile)
It doesn't charge nor connect to the pc (it's not a hardware issue i believe, because it charges when it's off but when the phone starts to open that green battery that shows that it's charging -or when the mobile is on- it stops charging")
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
SOLVED
All I did was using a TOOTHBRUSH to clean the port without dissembling the phone after that the pc could recognize it then I flashed the stock rom and now it charges and works well
No help until you use a descriptive thread title. You were perfectly able to post a couple of paragraphs in stupid coloured fonts to describe your problem, you can post a descriptive title :-/
Edit - If replacing the USB board/port yourself (KeithRoss39 has a guide in General which will enable you to do this quickly/cheaply/easily) doesn't fix your problem, service centre = replace motherboard.
