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.

i have a problem with my galaxy s2 exactly like this: got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.
When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.
With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.
The power button is not stuck.
It's not rooted: cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.
I fully charged my battery. No change
I drained my battery to 0%. No change
I tried another battery. No change.

WELL....
Can you people be more clearly on Ur Tips Please, Do i have to Update Bootloader or Bootloader will Automatically update after i flash a Full firmware via Odin or during update a frimware do i need to click a tick there writting "UPDATE BOOTLOADER" or not or let me know any Solution pleaseeeeeeeeeee . English is my 3rd Langue so Please try to explane with a Simply English Brothers and sister. I feel sucks No one can fix my Problem here in Kosovo.
If you are going to flash New firmware via Odin from intratech you will automatically get the right (older) bootloader that lets you clear the flash counter with the jig.
If you have already flashed KI3 or KI8 from somewhere else chances are you will have the new bootloader flashed on your phone.
If that is the case intratech has the older bootloader that you can download and flash via Odin without having to flash the full firmware again.
Read the 1st few posts in his thread carefully for the exact steps to follow.
Good luck.

Well i try Many of Roms to flash i try with older and newer Problem still there, i think i need to Change a Usb Port (Electronic Usb maybe i demage with a bad Charger or Who know). Is there any Idea where i can Buy&Purchase Galaxy s2 Electronic Parts
I has this same problem after flashing ki4. Would not shut off. Kept booting up every time I tried to switch off. After a bit of searching I found a fix got my phone. Just remove the battery for 30 seconds. Reinstall and try again. Might not work for you but won't cost anything to try.
Edit
Just read. You already tried another battery do this won't help you. Sorry.

dear Friend thanks for trying to help me, but i can not find a human being that can tell me how exactly to fix my problem i have this problem 1 month, for me it will be enough to know if is a Software or hardware problem. Problem is here in Kosovo we dont have a Samsung Store that can fix, only a solution is to send in Germany(1.441 Km ) , it will coast to me just a new Galaxy s2... i have exacly this problem like this guy in youtube here is a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBB_3qtgj68

Hello people, thanks for reading and trying to help in advance hehe
ok here it goes ....
i bought a galaxy tab 10.1v "Australian Vodafone Version" a while back, and since me and other users that own this pices of **** didn't get updates and stuff i decided to "unlock+Root+rom". I did that successfully after following guieds:
unlock :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793
root+room: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079781
Everything wsa fine and i had the super user and everything, but in the second guide it says it is recomended or something like that to download ROM Manager from the market which i did, and i started the app and and did a backup. My Tab rebooted to a blank screen , i waited for a while but with no luck so i turned off and tried to go to DW mode or recovery mood so i can at least connecte it to odin3 and do something. When press V- + Power theres no DW nor recovery mode all i see is one smmall line on the left top corner that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
When i plug the usb into my computer nothing happenes no sound , no new device installing no nothin. but since i have been reading alot regarding this issue, i read something about APX mode and NVflash here and many other websites but i followed this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
i got my tab connected but i couldn't do NVflash because whenever i do
"--sync" or "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"
i get this :
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
some say that that means the device is locked eventho i pretty sure it not because i had the lock logo. anyway ...
just to answer every possible question in advnce and give more info :
*its a 10.1v "Vodafone Australia Version"
*was working fine after root/rom
*stoped working after using the app "ROM Manager" (i think its not compactible)
* the device on somekinda boot loop, the screen would turn on and off "blank screen with nothing in it no sound also"
* pressing Volum down + Pwer will taking me to a blank screen with one little line that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
*when i plug the usb to the computer nothing hapenes
* in APX mod is working but i cannot do anytning since the NVflash won't work.
* I followed everything step by step
Does that mean my device is useless ? is there anyway to get it back to life ?
Thank you and sorry for the spilling mistakes as im using a F'ed up keyboard
one more thing i did :
I let the battery drain overnight and pluged charged it again hopeing that will help, the battery logo won't even show up, just a blank screen
thanks

Hi Barry. Welcome to XDA. One quick suggestion: If you want to get help in an enthusiasts forum, don't call the object of everyone's affections a "pices [sic] of ****."
We all understand the stress of having non-responsive electronics; but you'll catch more flies with honey...
***edit. Wrote some stuff for you only to realize that you're on a 10.1v. Not sure how I missed that in your title (and thus, I suppose I can't comment on whether or not it really is a POS!). Until just now I never realized how different your tab is from the regular 10.1 (guides are much more difficult to follow!) Anyways, I found these threads that might be useful to you:

i apologize for that, but i was referring to my tab only ... anyways
thanks for your reply and for the links you gave me .. but still the biggest problem is i'm unable to connect my tab to odin, and downloading mode and recovery mode are not even there .. theyre all gone, only APX mode is working and even with that, NVflash won't work and i would give me this error
"Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)"
if i could connect to odin i could actually do something, or even NVflash i could run bootloader and it would install image files and all.
i'm not sure if i can do anything with APX other than NVflash .. or if i could somehow bypass Nvflash error ..
i just have a feeling that my tab won't make it
Just an idea... did you try to do the work with another pc?
For example a fresh XP 32bit install on another pc.
This "usb write error" seems strange.

When i charged it after i drained the battery, the screen light will turn on but no battery logo or anything.. The only thing that would show up on the screen is when i try to enter downloading mod/recovery mod by pressing power+volume is a little line on the top right corner which says : " booting recovery image# "
thank you for your reply, what do you guys recommend since i can access APX mod, will i be able to do anthing other than nvflash in APX mod?
Since you are getting a usb write error as well as no charge indicator, is it possible that your USB cable is bad?

thanks for your reply
when i charge, the tablet does charge but no Battery logo, i can tell its charging because the screen lights will go on.
what i have tried so far :
* installed APX but when i try to nvflash it says something like writing failed
* tried both windows XP and windows 7
* drained the battery twice for 2 days
* changed USB cable
* tried to connect it to different versions on odin but computer only recognise the device in APX mode
* device still showing ( booting recovery kernel image#) when a try to access DW mod.
it all started when i used a backup program after rooting it, i don't get .. is its a backup it shouldn't delete everything (the system) and brick the tablet...
whats Kernel ? << noob
any new ideas guys ? is there any other programs/methods out there ?
anyone have the same problem ?
thanks

When it says booting recovery kernel image, did you try to just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to find out if it boots again, or try logcat command?

yes, i left it like that till the next morning
** update **
Today i disassembled my tab after i read somewhere in this forum that i might get it back if i take the battery out or unplug the screen cables. Some claim that the touch screen could cause the tab to go into a boot loop; however that didn't work
i decided anyway to buy a new tab either Asus Transformer or Galaxy 8.9, even tho I'm kinda worried that this thing could happen to my new tab when i try to root it and install roms. I don't want to spend that much money until i figure out the problem, so i'm making this tablet "A testing Device" i'm gonna test every possible way to revive it for me and and others. I'll do my best with your help guys to solve this so we can provide help for others.
There was a Guide here in this forum about JTAGing that tablet along with a software that some company use to unbrick devices but i cold not find it, my cousin owns a hardware store and i could use everything i need .. i just need someone to guide me.
Thanks
Sounds like a cool project, sorry it cost so much.
zBarry, You should try this while you can, It sounds simple as it is but it worked for both my tablets that had the 0x4 aka locked bootloader. Sorry if you had already "Lego" lized your tablet into pieces but this may help. :]

As far as I know linux won't help, what % is your tablet charge at? Since you've opened it already why not just de-attach the battery and reattach it back and try to power it directly into fastboot. Normally draining is the same as stopping the flow of current into the tablet. Unlike phones where you can pop out the battery you can't do it to the tab unless you've opened it.
Can you please let me know what steps have you tried so far? Would be nice to know in detailed So I can help you out at best.

i think i have third every possible way out there... and the steps that i did to revive the device your way was :
i taped the power button and left it for like 2 days, then i plugged it to the computer in APX mode to check if its drained or not, but i think it was charging off the computer. So i repeated the first step and left it for 3 days, then plugged it into the socket. after couple of mins the screen turned on, but no logo or anything, just black screen (same issue). i decided to disassemble the device to take the battery out which i did and yet same result. i had hope so i re-did the battery drain thing and left it for a week and when i plugged it i pressed pwr+ vlo + and something.
my tab turns on, but just a black screen it won't that up, and power + volume up will show me a kernel message.
thanks so much, i aprreciate your trying to help any other way you think i should try ?
What sort of kernel message do you get? As far as I know maybe perhaps the contact's arent touching properly? Seems to me you did everything right but when it turns on you don't get the charging icon.
The good part is the display works and atleast you can boot up *Somehow* the bad part is you can't get it into Fastboot mode.
As far as I know the tablet is supposed to light up but have you checked if you get the offline charge icon (That green battery that sits in the middle of the screen and charges?) once you get it to drain/disconnect you should leave it to charge via wall socket for about 5-10secs for that icon to pop up. If you get that icon atleast then you know you are getting somewhere
I wish I had the tablet in hand so I could see what's going on. The whole oceans away solution makes it hard to guess what's happening
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).
I got a P9000 in the late spring, and have been really happy with it. Unfortunately I dropped it on the ground, and the screen cracked, after which the touch function did not work (but the phone did) I finally managed to get a new screen from China, and it has been installed by a local shop dealing with mobiles. However, the shop told me they could/would not deal with anything else but changing the LCD screen. The phone switches on (I can hear starting jingles and emails downloading etc) but the screen just turns from black to dark blue and stays that way. I have been trawling through the forums, but not sure what to do next. Take it that I need to flash it, and have followed the instructions given here, but it just seems to time out. Anyone got the patience to walk me through this?

You are in a boot loop. This is not a bad sign, now you know the screen works. It's normal that you have to flash the Rom again after replacing the screen. if you use flashtool, start download in flashtools before you connect your phone to the PC, then hold vol+ on your P9000 and connect the phone to the pc.

P9000 screen replacement
Hi . I had my p9000 about 2 months when I sat on it and cracked the screen,the casing was very slightly curved so I gave it to a shop to repair,now nearly 2 months later they say they can't get it to start up. They tried a new battery and I told them what I'd read on this forum regarding flahing the rom but They gave me back the phone with a new screen and nothing else, so I told them i'm not paying for 1/2 a repair and told them to remove the new screen and give me back the phone as it was . What do you think could be the problem if a repair shop cannot repair a screen and install new sorftware is there hope for it?
Hi, i broked my screen again so i am not a newbie about this... but this time after flashing the Phone show nothing at all... the small LED Dot is shining when android is boot, so i dont think the cable is connected wrong. The touch works fine..What can it be??
Hi,
I am posting here for the first time here, even though I have been following and enjoying XDA for many years.
But for now I am looking for some advice/help to troubleshoot the phone of my child
and here are the details you sould know about :
- Phone model : Ulefone Metal 4G (not the Lite version)
- Problem description : Screen is black and nearly nothing is responding... no back light, no touch response, no led/screen while charging (usb to pc or direct charging).
This happened after plugging the phone on my car to charge and at that time the phone freezed on the ulefone logo screen, but never made it to the android interface. we then stopped the phone by pressing power a long time, but since that time the phone looks like dead.
- What I have tried so far :
~ start in recovery mode : by pressing VolUp+Power, I managed a few times to come to a screen with the following options
===> recovery
===> fastboot
===> normal
this is my only hope and the reason why I am asking for your help, but sadly none of these options are working and each time screen goes black after pressing the VolDown button to choose the option.
~ since I had this screen, I thought the problem might be with a corrupted partition (bootloader or any other needed at the beginning).
so I followed the steps to get the phone connected via USB and use the SP Flash Tool (I read both XDA posts and this one https://tehnotone.com/sp-flash-tool...installation-guide-including-bricked-devices/)
I installed the drivers, downloaded the TWRP recovery to try with something and so far so good I am all set to flash...
but when I start the process with "Download" and then plug the device.... NOTHING happens, the phone is never recognized.
~ I also watched some videos on how to disassemble the device, but I would only do that only if this my last chance.
This is where I am stucked so far, and right now I can't even go back to the "boot" screen with the 3 options.
Anybody already had a similar experience on this phone (or another one) ?
Any idea what I can try to troubleshoot ?
Any hope for the phone ?
Thank your for your help :angel:
Anybody out there with an idea what to do ?
You may have overloaded the battery, in which case the only option is to replace it by disassembling it and then replacing the old battery with a replacement one. Did you plug it into a cigarette lighter adapter or just a usb port? There are various things that could have gone wrong here, but I need to know the answer to the question above first.
Hi,
i am sorry I didn't check for your answer, but I finally did what you were suggesting :
disassemble phone and change some parts.
This is what I did exactly :
I first replaced the battery to realize that the problem was with the board in which you plug the usb cable and which purpose is to recharge the battery itself.
