Hi all,
Before I have flashed the custom rom and would like to restore the stock rom now, but when I flashed the stock rom by odin(downloaded from sammobile.com), after boot up and test the call, camera, vibrate.. everything are ok, and then power off.
But in next day, I turned on the phone and want to test it again, it freeze and get very hot, then I try to flash with odin again, but when installing in the download mode(about 80%), it hangs and very hot, I need to take out the battery. I have tried three times, the result are the same, what can I do now?
Thanks.
Was it the latest stock firmware or an old one? Sounds like a hardware issue.

Hey, instead of creating another thread, I'll just post in here.
My SGH-i777 was working fine, I downloaded the latest Update CM9 Nightlies 2012-06-09 directly from CM's download site. I was previously running CM9 Nightlies 2012-06-03.
I put the Update in the root of the internal SD memory. I started up ROManager, and selected the "Flash ROM Update" option. The Phone shut off, as normal, so it can go into Recovery Mode and Flash the Update automatically.
The phone never got into the Recovery Menu! I waited for about 5 mins, but nothing was booting up on the screen.
So I removed the battery and inserted it back in to turn it back on. It shows the Galaxy SII Splash Screen and then the screen turns off, and it just keeps flickering on and off. You cant see the flickering unless your in a dark room, in the daylight you won't notice it, because the backlight turns on for a split second and its really faint.
So I ruled out that its not that the battery has died, because before I started up ROManager the battery was full.
Anyways, can you guys help me? Thanks in advance!

You obviously read nothing before trying to flash otherwise you would have known not to use rom manager unless you're on CM9 already
Edit : okay you were already on CM9 but you still should stay away from rom manager, it's not known for being reliable
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
What kernel were u using prior to trying to update and did u flash the correct version of Rom manager? I know last time ilooked there were multiple options for the i777.

If it's not reliable, why does CM9 come with it installed on its ROMs?
And I've used it a few times before and never had a problem with it. Also like I said, if it's so unreliable, I'm sure the devs over at CM would have taken it out of their ROMs...

I was using the Siyah Kernel made for the SGH-i777. And the latest version of Rom Manager.
Edit: The thing im confused about is I didn't flash anything yet and it just stopped working. I would understand that if I flashed something and in the middle of flashing it stopped working then that's completely different.

I've always had problems trying to flash from ROM Manager. Always boot into CWM manually when flashing. If you can't get it into download mode and see it in Odin, you may be screwed. There's a another way to get into download mode...something like removing the battery, connect to PC via USB cable, then hold volume buttons down while inserting the battery...or something. I searched and couldn't find it again.

Big is right . Best to boot into cwm manually, I've had problems with using Rom manager to do it as well, the few times I've used it. Also, Im 99% sure Rom manager comes built into cm itself, as a system app for all cm releases. So i don't think they stick it in there for just our device or anything. But i could be wrong.

I've updated from Update-CM9-Nightlies-2012-06-03 to Update-CM9-Nightlies-2012-06-05 before and went smooth. Anyways, I guess ROM Manager might be unstable. That sucks for me!

I can't get into Download Mode or Recovery Mode. Like I said I didn't even get a chance to try and Flash anything, I was about to backup my current ROM and while RM was booting into Recovery Mode, its like it just froze on a black screen.
IDK if its a Hardware Problem or my Mother Board got fried somehow cause the screen turns on and shows "Samsung Galaxy SII" and then it just turns off. And in the daylight it looks like the phone is off, but if your in a dark room, you can see the screen's backlight flickering on and off.
Do you guys think that USB Jig will work?
Thanks guys for you help!
EDIT: BTW, I'm now stuck using a crappy WP7! It was my step-sons, LOL. It is like a watered down smart phone... I don't even think it deserves the title "Smart Phone".
Pull the battery and leave it out. Then go into download mode the usual way by holding the two volume buttons and plugging in the USB cable. The phone wil go into download mode with power supplied by the cable. If this fails, then there is definitely some serious problem, and hardware can not be ruled out as a possible cause.

Thanks!!!!! Your a life saver! I plugged it into the phone charger and held the Vol. Down Button and it was able to boot into Download Mode and the screen did not shut off like it has been on every boot up I've tried!
Right bow I'm charging it so I can plug it into my laptop and restore my phone later tonight after work.
This is my first Android and even though it kinda crapped out on me, I still love it better than the iPhone.
Thanks again!
Hey guys I've been experiencing random freezes on my phone mainly while connected to the internet,the phone freezes and completely stops working, I can hit the home button infinite times that nothing happens, I can lock the screen but they I can not do anything, so I then have to press the power and lock key until it reboots! This has happened to me 4 times just today two times using the browser, 1 time using Opera Mini and 1 time on the XDA app!
I have searched but what I found is people with the issue, no answers!
I'm running the stock UK firmware flashed through odin the XXALE8, with the latest LH1 modem flashed through CMW, and rooted with the S3 toolkit method! Just that, have had the phone for 7 days and this started happening 2 days ago and the phone has been rooted since the second day.
Anyone knows what this is related to? If removing root will help and if I should change the modem to another one (which one?)
Flash the XXBLG8 firmware via Odin.
I've never experienced that problem but it wouldn't hurt to be on the latest firmware.

Thanks for your reply! So the XXBLG8 is the latest one? If it is then I will download it right away! Oh and would it still be good to flash the LH1 modem? Or should I stay with the one it comes with?
Yes it's the latest UK one, there is LG9 but that's the same except it's for Asia.
The LH1 modem is the latest for the UK also so use that one.

Thanks again, I'll do that and let you know! And as an update, in te afternoon I wiped cache, and dalvik just to see if it would do anything but without success! And about an hour ago I found out that the freezes would occur whenever I enable the syncing! And I had to reboot it 4 times until I could disable the syncing, I don't know what this means, but it might be helpful!
A friend of mine has the same problem, and in fact, has already returned on S3 due to the same 'glitch,' as Verizon referred to it. I'm trying to get into TW to wipe that cache, but don't have time before the lockup. I disabled syncing, but that hasn't helped.
I'm trying now to connect to Kies to at least back up the contacts before a reset. No luck there either.
Hi,
After some assistance if possible.
I have the international version of GS2. Purchased in the UK.
Yesterday flashed the new Jellybean ROM through ODIN as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113088
Worked fine for one day then phone froze this morning. Did a battery pull and on reboot stayed on the Samsung logo. Rebooted many times but still stuck at the same point. Reflashed the Rom through ODIN again but still stuck at Samsung logo.
I can access download mode, but not any kind of recovery.
From reading on here, I think the NAND(?) may be corrupted, but not sure, leading to the soft brick. Can anyone advise what I need to flash to get the phone up and running again?
Any help appreciated.
Mario.

Try flashing a kernel like siyah or Dorimanx in download mood. Then reboot into recovery and flash a JB custom rom
That did it. Thanks.

Hello,
For the past months I've been experiencing a lot of problems with my device: The device frozes or slow up with no apparent reason. It happens either when I'm in Whatsapp, or Facebook, or just listening music. It doesn't look to have any special app to behave like that. Locking and unlocking the screen becomes a pain and at some point after freezing it just turns off or reboot. Sometimes it just reboots even when I don't use it.
At the beginning I thought that the problems were related to the operator stock rom, then I jumped to Rootbox rom and nothing has changed. The phone keeps freezing and rebooting.
I've read that it might be related to a RAM issue, but I don't know if still have warranty so I'd like to check out everything else before taking it to a specialist.
Any idea or advice?
Fer
When you were on the 'operator stock ROM', was it rooted stock? My only idea is that it's possibly kernel related, ie unstable kernel. Try flashing full stock unrooted and see what happens? Else yes, probably hardware unfortunately

I had experimented this problems with Siyah on stock and The kernel that comes with rootbox (different pone).
i've noticed that battery life has been also greatly reduced.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean... I'm asking if you've had this problem with stock ROM & stock kernel? No root / custom kernel.

I'm 95% sure your battery is about to die.
Is it a genuine samsung battery?
Swap it and see how it goes.
Also, going stock to see if the device behaves funny would be wise, as hopper is trying to tell you there.

My wife's phone has the exact same problem. However I had recently returned her phone back to stock jelly bean. I downloaded the original software from sammobile for her carrier (Bell) and didn't expect to have any problems. I think I may try to swap out the battery.

Yeah, it appears to be a genuine Samsung battery.
However, I'll jump back to stock toda y and see how it goes. If that doesnt work I'll get a new battery. Finaly, if that doesnt work I might start thinking on a new phone :'( .

Can you please keep me updated. My samsung is already on stock. I flashed it using ODIN, using the official carrier firmware and the problems actually started after flashing it. My wife said her keyboard freezes as well. Sometimes the Samsung logo appears and then the phone shuts off, or she is forced to shut it off herself.
What ROM were you currently using?

This morning I reflashed to stock rom from my carrier, NO ROOT (stock kernel). So far I've had no problems. The phone runs smoothly and the battery life is okay. I have not experimented any of the problems like the ones listed above.
I'll keep informing along the week.
A factory reset + dalvik wipe combo would be wise.
Tho you need CWM or Mobile Odin to wipe dalvik.
PS: Root has got nothing to do with this.

excuse me, but root doesnt change the kernel to a kernel with custom recovery? I say this cuz now with stock kernel im not experimenting any issue, which I had with stock+siyah and rootbox ROM.
No, root gives you admin access to your device.
A custom kernel will give you CWM.
Of course the only way to keep it all stock with root is with Mobile Odin Pro EverRoot option, framaroot, ExynosAbuse and any one-click-root.

Hello!
I've been on LiquidSmooth v2.37 for the last 3 months and with great pleasure. After flashing the ROM back in Nov 2013 I experienced few random phone hangs which I initially ignored => long press of power button and problem solved. These hangs became more frequent in Dec 2013 so I tried a cache wipe and also a factory reset with little success: the phone hangs frequency decreased but not disappeared. Presently I get this problem from 1 to 3-5 times per day, which starts to be annoying.
- Never modified the ROM. 100% LiquidSmooth official and original
- The phone does not completely freeze: screen and buttons become unresponsive however the status led still blinks. Moreover if I try to call the i9300 I can hear the call tones through the other phone, however no sound / vibration is produced by the i9300.
- Hangs happen mostly when I'm using apps but I could not find a pattern so they look random to me
Before i was on ParanoidAndroid and I have never experienced such issue.
Any suggestion? I don't wanna leave this ROM since it's really really good for me.
Thanks for your help!
Wipe and flash stock rom, if still freezing then you have bad memory blocks -read the freezing thread in general forum.

Is there another way to test memory health rather than flashing the stock firmware? Maybe a benchmark app or something?
Where can I find the latest stock firmware and the guide to flash it?

Use the latest full stock issued for your country, flash with odin and factory reset.
