What ROM are you using? Have you tried to flash a stock ROM and check to see if the problem still exists?
Your phone is shutting down instantly while still writing data, corrupting your data/system partition. You are in danger of damaging the emmc chip and and getting a hard brick.
Replace your battery then do a full wipe and fresh firmware install, you shouldn't let the battery discharge that low anyhow -it damages it.

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.

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

(For stock, non rooted)
1) Backup all your data, photos etc.
2) Under settings , look for factory reset. (This will wipe all data)
3) Setup your phone etc but dont drain the battery flat.
3) Charge phone overnight ( With phone turned off )
(Rooted)
1) Go to CWM
2) Factory reset , wipe cache partition , wipe davilk cache
3) Turn on phone, let phone settle for at least 5mins
4) Setup your phone etc but dont drain the battery flat.
5) Charge phone overnight ( With phone turned off )
If all else fails... reflash another rom
Your situation is very similar to my friend's S3. Her method was painfully charge it to 100% before she unplug the phone. After that it was working fine. It's probably due to the battery stats. I think her phone's battery stats kinda screwed up after the JB update. Anyway she managed to solve it.
The battery stats will reset once charged to 90% (if I remembered correctly.) Maybe before doing all of above, you can try to charge your phone to 100% and see if there are any problems after. There'll probably be people who will tell you to wipe battery stats on CWM but pls dont listen to their [email protected]#$.
Just try what i suggested and see if it helps.
Cheers

I noticed that after removin battery while phone is on, on LS8 and LSD Roms.. the phone doesn't boot anymore unless you do a full data wipe !!! I could reproduce it on different custom Roms... didn't test stock yet.. Any comments ??
I did face this issue once. Since then i have not tested it again.
I also got that,when i removed my battery it doesnt boot anymore. Sometimes it crash when its on and reboot automatically. All i can see after reboot is black screen past the Samsung i9100 and the traingle.
(sorry for bad english)
First, here is android development forum, not discussion
Second, there are several threads in general which discuss about bootloop problem on xxls8 and xxlsd
You are right.. didn't see that thread on general section.. Please close it ...
Today I had same problem: remove battery without shutdown first = bootloop on XXLSD neatrom lite 14.1.
FIX
- Reboot recovery
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Reboot

We take the battery off just to check if we still got the bug and we get stuck in the boot. Why?
Because it can happen in a lot of different situations that you cannot control and i can just tell you a few... Phone drops and battery jumps, battery gets drain forcing the phone to shut down without having time for a proper shuting down, freeze by any aplication or anormal situation that can only be solved be removing battery, the need of switching batteries in case you have 2 or more( some ppl got this boot hang by changing batt even when phone is shut down), etc, etc....
BTW fatjoez afterall ur procedure solved my issue, it just took more time than normal to boot, but i wasnt stuck afterall
Thank you very much! I could not reproduce the boot hang issue anymore after do what you said...

Hey guys,
I have been searching the threads, but was not able to find a similar problem.. I am having problems calibrating the battery of my Samsung I9300. My battery is completely empty within 3h from taking the phone from charging. I have calibrated the battery according to Battery calibration instructions, but that doesn't help. No apps are particularly draining or keeping the phone awake according to analysis (by for instance Battery Doctor, BetterBatteryStats WakeLockDetector), also since the same problem already existed with the stock rom and directly after factory reset. The problem is not ROM related, I have tried many different ones. When I place my battery (which then says 30% left for instance) in another I9300, here it gives still 88%. So I suppose the battery is fine, there is just bad communication between the phone and battery? Or maybe it can be a hardware instead of software problem?
Hope somebody has an idea and can help..
Thanks in advance!
You don't calibrate the battery .
The battery self calibrates after a week or so of use .
Suggest format in recovery sdcard system data and cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
Still a problem its hardware .

So if I understand correctly, the calibration will not finish until one week after starting the procedure?
I will try your suggestion, but I am not very confident it will work, since the problem persisted from the start (when phone was still in stock ROM).
If this does not work, what could be the hardware problem? Then I can already search for some information on ordering the necessary parts..
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
First, please excuse me for my bad english
So, I'm here because I have a really big problem with my Samsung I9100.
Indeed, I will explain my problem. I installed the SENTINEL ROM 5.00 a few month ago, and I never had a problem before.
But yesterday, I don't know why, I have so much problem with my Network, (My friends haven't the same problem and we have the same operator, it's Orange)
So, I don't understood why I had this kind of problem. After a few minutes, my GS 2 shut down...
I tried to boot but It had no effect !! I fall in a reboot loop, whith no home screen.
After a panic I try so much solution :
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, reboot. Same problem ! Sometimes, I can access to the menu, but a few minute after, it shut down again.
I tried to restore an official firmware, no effect, He can't load, he is blocked with "Samsung animation boot".
I tried to restore with a ROM (Rootbox 3.91), no effect too, I can access temporary to my message, and after a few minutes, he shut down !
Sometimes, I just click in the home button (The only button), and it shut down !
I observed now, it can't book if I don't connect it to the alimentation's cable.
Really, I'm so lost, I understand nothing. Especially, I didn't do something special to make this...
If someone can help me...
Thanks !

Thanks, I will try this, but my sometimes, my USB port of my I9100 has so much problem with the connexion.
Could you give me a link for a stock rom please ?
Thanks mate.
It sounds like you would get into recovery-mode?
Do you have an ClockworkModRecovery?
Can you make a nandorid backup with the recovery?
Do you have an older Recovery you could restore without too much data-loss?
Is the battery ok? Can you start your Phone if you connect it with the charger? If yes I would recommand to backup as many iportant data as possible.
I'm running sentinelRom 5.0 too and I have no problems.

Can you start the phone withe the cable plugged in but without the battery?
Couse if you can, it is the Battery. I had such a Problem with a Laptop once. The Battery was broken and it rebootet after a few seconds or minutes. I tried everything, to recover it and then I took out the Battery and it run perfectly well.

Sorry, I could't test it untill now, I didn't had my Phone. No we can't do this.
Do you have another Battery for sgs2? Or a friend of yours? Then youcould test it. Otherwise you might try another ROM...
Maybe you can get a stock rom here http: www androidfirmwares net PhoneFirmware Download 69 to do what MistahBungle recommended...
