Hello! I have a problem:
Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 doesn't start up. Doesn't turn on recovery (Stucks on Galaxy S3 logo)
Download mode doesn't show product number (see picture). If I plug USB cable in it shows me that my battery is low, but doesn't charge it. It shows the logo of empty battery only. I tried put another CHARGED battery into this phone, but it doesn't help.
Everything works well earlier, it starts when my battery discharged.
Can somebody help me please?

Hello Everyone,
While trying to Flush my SGS2 with a cooked room using Odin my device got DEAD.
This is what happened exactly:
1- After successful room flushing the SGS2 got rebooted but unfortunately it did not loaded the room.(Stuck in boot screen_Black screen with Samsung Galaxy S2)
2- i waited several hours for the galaxy to let go the boot screen but it wont.!!
3- i pulled the battery then put the galaxy back to download mode and retried flushing the room but it was giving the same result.
4- unfortunately after doing the same several times the device got DEAD..
Now:
- I cant power on my galaxy
- When connecting it to PC nothing Happen (Odin does not show any device connected)
- Plugin in the charger, The galaxy got heated.
I am just thinking i have missed up the partition table, please mistake me if i am wrong.
Or any one can help in this.
Note:
- the same happened with my two devices.
- Since Galaxy s2 is not released in my country i bought them from outside the country with no warranty.
Any one can help.???
Thanking you in advance for the support.
Think you flushed it down the spout .
Can the phone go to download mode Have you a download recovery jig .
No phone power on at all either circuit boards blown or battery dead .
jje
thanks fro the reply.
The phone cant go to download mode.!!! no display at all when pressing the power button.
Either no display when charging the phone, it only get heated.!!!
I have heared about the download recovery jig.
My question shall i use the same Resistor (301K Ohm) for the galaxy s2???? i believe this is used for Galaxy s1.
Yes its the same .

yes the 301k resistor does work on the SGS2 aswell.
Just fro your information i have just checked with one of my friends he is having the same issue.
He used the same resistor 310K on both SGS2 & SGS1, unfortunately it only worked with SGS1.
Any way i will try it on my device and come back soon.
thanks again

same jig for SGS2 .
jje
Damn, yeh i got the same problem, my galaxy s2 is dead. Won't power on and screen is completely blank. So i'm guessing a jig wont help it, unless proven otherwise.
The same thing happened on first boot of my first SGS2. I pressed the Power Button, played for like 2 mins with TW and then the phone stuck and switched itself off.
Long story short, I couldn't get it to switch on again, so I sent it to service and the response was it had a faulty motherboard.
So I think you should return it. My 2 cents.

HI
I have just noticed whenever i connect my SGS2, my computer pop ups a notification searching for a driver but it disconnect in seconds and the pc cant continue searching for the driver.
The driver is OMAP4430.
This happens every 1 minute if the SGS2 is connected to the PC.
Note: i cant see any think on my SGS2 screen.!!!!
Thanks

warranty is not really an issue, I belive under UCC and under normal statutory law in EU that the retialer is legally responsable for 2 years. If it's unfit for purpose in that time, you simply return it. If they refuse, you ask them to put their refusal on paper for the record. Often it turns out fine
Hi all,
Yesterday my SGS2 Stopped working suddenly.
I made some test with another working SGS2 changing their batterys with the following results:
My battery started charging in the other device
My device didn't switch on with the charged battery
The working battery didn't charged on my device
Can somebody help me please?
I have the Litening Rom installed, is the warranty still valid?
Many thanks in advance.
No your warranty is void with custom onboard. Are there any signs of life? Download mode or screen on?
If its completly dead than probably service center will replace motherbord without chacking what was installed.

No, I can't see any sign of life in any mode.
So you'll recommend me to go to the store?
Straight to sammys service centre. But if your phone is brand new you could try to replace it for new one in shop when you bought it.

I had a galaxy do that once, but or some reason I was still able to flash with Odin you might want to give that a shot before taking it in my computer still recognized my phone in Odin don't know why i guess i was lucky but its worth a shot

True, Sometines odin sees the phone even if the phone screen dont turn itself on. But it's rare.

Thanks guys for your answers.
I tried it with Odin but nothing, maybe the battery is empty and as I only have 3 days before the warranty period ends I'll try in the shop.
I let you know with the final solutions.
actually i have turned on password mode and set my password as nonme
but my keyboard settings were on 3*4 size keypad
on pressing power button it asks password so when i start entering it shows only numeric words NOT ALBHABECTS that screws up me totally
\
but i have nandroid backup so i
1) go 2 recovery and advance restore boot file and check whether it resets password or not but password stills remains
2) now i advance restore the SYSTEM and IT MAKES MY FONE COMPLETELY DEAD at all
Cannot start fone
Cannot enter recovery or download mode
After pluggin charger it shows nothing
Just black screen and nothing
so can"t use odin
and when i am doing these things battery is at 60%
Plz tell me guys now what to do...I really love my s2 its just brand new 1 week old ..
M really scared..
plz helpp..
sorry if it goes too emotional but i m really desperate to turn it on again

They will replace the motherboard. You have nothing to lose. You can ask samsung to give a phone for some time before the repairs is completed

Sorry bro but you're inability to read through sticky threads or even ask questions has failed you here. You simply have yourself to blame here
There are two ways I know however:
1 Send it to Samsung repairs, they will never know what actually happened. Your motherboard will be replaced.
2. Change your motherboard on your own or with a third-party repair centre. It's faster but maybe expensive.

Then I think Samsung repairs is the only option. You got to be smart too. If you present your case well, they should give you a smaller Android phone to manage, while your phone is undergoing repairs.
Good luck

I was using my phone the other day everything was fine I put it down looked back to it and I saw it was off I just thought the battery was flat I brought it home to charge and it wouldn't charge.
When I try to charge it nothing happens but on the back around the area of the camera gets hot. I took this to a repair shop down the road and they said that they fix a lot of the phones by changing the flex at the bottom, I tried this but that still doesn't work.
What is wrong with it? Is it software or hardware?
Why does that area get hot?
This is a last ditch attempt before I just sell the phone on for spares but it would be great if anyone could help!
Thanks

Guess your motherboard is Dead(www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WQ5HCoFiCk), as informed by Sun90, you should go to service centre and get it replaced.
If they confirm that your motherboard is dead, you can do it yourself by ordering motherboard from Ebay and installing it with help from youtube!!
Your Call!!
Thanks!
