Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s2 that I bought off kijiji. It is white and was originally from bell. I unlocked it and the phone worked great for 2 weeks I could charge it pull the battery out and put my koodo sim card and it worked. One night I went to sleep and woke up and it was dead. So I went to go charge it and it didn't charge or want to turn on... So I went to go buy a new battery that was already fully charged and I put it in the phone and it worked, it turned on and everything worked. Then it died again as I was at school and it wont charge or turn on again! So I gave both batterys to a friend who has the same phone to charge and then I tryed it in my phone again and it wont turn on. I made a youtube video of my problem so this my explain it a little better also. Here is my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=184adlrU9eQ&list=UUGtRGDv9GcPPEZS3_oLB8UQ&index=1&feature=plcp

Can you get to download mode? Hold volume down home and power on button. If you can go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through Odin

Do you know if the phone is still on the guarantee? It most-likely is so you should bring it to Samsung ASAP and they will probably give you a refurbished one. The only problem is if you used a code to unlock the device, you'll pretty much lose it. Don't bring it to Bell, they won't give a damn because they're not your provider.

Bottom line is, if you haven't rooted the phone or run non-stock firmware on it, don't risk doing that now to try and fix it. If it borks, you'll end up voiding your warranty.
Send it into Samsung/an authorised repairer & have it repaired under warranty is my advice (contact Samsung in your country to get details of repairer).
Now, if you have rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware on it, and you can get into download mode then you can still fix it. If you can't get into download mode tho, there's no chance of you fixing it so don't even attempt to. Send it to a service centre & hope they don't notice you've been messing with it.
I cannot get into download mode.
No download mode, no recovery & phone won't boot = service centre/Samsung authorised repairer & hope they can't tell you used a bit of dodgy software to try & unlock the phone & borked it in the process.
I guess you could try a jig & see if that gets you into download mode as well.
This problem just happened to me... I did the soft reset mentioned in other forums and did not work... so I took the battery, sim card, and SD card out and put the battery cover back on, left alone for 1hour... tried soft reset again and worked.
Soft reset: Battery out, press ON button for 10 secs, put battery back on, turn on.
As I said yesterday I had problems turning on the phone and managed to turn it on by performing a soft reset... now the problem is that I usually turn it off every night and this morning it happened again, the phone won't turn on... did the same soft reset and there it went again but I am now scared of turning it off and never be able to turn it on again... Can someone suggest what the problem may be? would be a hardware problem? Or should it be a ROM/Kernel/Recovery problem?
Its hardware. I had this issue and it killed two batteries (mine drains battery and kills it, single use battery...) gave to Samsung and was fixed with motherboard and LCD change.
My Gf's Galaxy 2 wont torn on just keeps vibrating. Does like it going to turn on but it inmediately shut itself off. Please i need a solution!!
Sounds like a battery problem... get a new battery
It's not the battery

I have had same issue. I got a new battery and it still buzzes, doesn't charge and doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem.
i hope help
This happened to my phone and it really is a simple fix. First take the battery out of the phone for about 10 seconds. Then with the battery out plug the phone up, wait a few seconds, and put the battery in and immediately press power. Should be as good as new.
OR just plug in the phone when it's off and then power off

Thank you bub, you just helped me save my co-workers phone lol
Same problem after having the phone on the shelf for a while
I guys..
Samsung Galaxy Sii GT9100-P
Not Rooted
Unlocked by using an unlock code (when adding an unrecognised sim) Was on Orange, unlocked it with a Voda sim in it.
upgraded the firmwareusing Samsung Kies last June.
then I got an S3 and put this on the shelf.
I have 3 Batteries for the S2 and charged them all with my desktop battery charger.
the phone will not power on if:-
Battery Out and on Cable with PC
Battery In connected to PC or Mains
Will not go into download mode
any battery charged and no cable.
I shelved this perfectly working and kept is as a "spare" phone.
now the time has come to use it.
anyone any ideas?
I know it is out of warranty, so I guess a chargeable fix will be required!
but I cant beleive a fully working S2 would due after being left on a shelf!
Thanks in Advance Guys!
Oh..
PC has been rebuilt since the Samsung Kies update, so I dont have the emergency or backup files to work with.
Cheers,
My s3 will not boot. It shows no signs of power. Even when plugged in... Anyone have any ideas?
did this happen randomly? or did the phone completely Die? what were you doing?
these things are needed to help you out.
My Phone wont turn on is not enough info.
Sure, I loaded liquid jelly bean on the phone and installed gapps. Upon reboot it failed to turn on. I can't even get into recovery.

I9300 phone and flashed I9300 firmware .
No recovery then download mode and flash stock firmware .
No download mode USB Jig to try for download mode .
That fails its a JTag repair .
jje
Yes yes ^^^^in that order
Can you see the welcome screen or anything else? Or it's completely dead?
Pull the battery, wait for a few minutes, if you have a jig insert it in usb port of yor phone ( if you don`t volume down + menu + power buttons all at once). If you come in downloadmode flash a stock rom and after boot you can reroot.
If you don`t have a jig, order one from somewhere. You can not do without it.

As you have no warranty its worth trying USB recovery Jig to enter download mode before a paid for repair .

Hello my fellow people. I have a question.
I had factory reset my Samsung galaxy s advance i9070p and then wanted to root it from 2.3.6 gingerbread to 4.1.2 JB.
I used odin to root it but i used I9070XXLQ4_I9070SERLQ4_SER as the md5 file. With i used the original i9070p download package what had the tar file. The firmware my phone originally had was xxlk4 but instead of that i used xxlq4. But after rooting and odin saying pass i unplugged the phone and saw that it was at the black screen and nothing came up. I tried holding the power button down but nothing i tried going to download mode with holding the power, volume down button plus menu button, but still nothing.
Could it be that i had hard-bricked my phone?
When i plug it in to my PC it makes a double beep at first then after a second it does a single beep. But it doesn't show any connection signs.
If it's hard-bricked then is there any chance to get it back to life.
My Phone is: Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070p 2.3.6 GB. Firmware is originally xxlk4.

Something very similar just happened to me. I got a Samsung Galaxy S Advance from my company, but since I have another phone I decided to upgrade it to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using odin to root it. Just like the poster above, oding said "PASS" but didn't reboot my phone. Not even a flicker on the screen, I see no activity that the phone is even charged or anything. The battery is charged, so I have no clue what could be wrong. What I've tried so far:
1)
Unplugged it and tried to boot it normally, didn't work.
2)
Took the battery hour for 1h+, boot normally, didn't work.
3)
Took the battery out for some time again, boot into download mode, didn't work.
4)
Take the battery out, put it in again. Hold down volume UP and volume DOWN simultaneously, power on. Didn't work -- NOTE! When the phone is plugged into my PC, the computer makes a noise that beep is being recognized as plugged into the computer, a second later it makes a beep indicating something was unplugged... nothing more happens.
Please help. I'm rather new to Android phones, and I would appreciate any assistance
Hello and thanks for looking at my post, I have a straight talk galaxy s3 with a 8gb sd card from straight-talk wireless, I tried to install cyanogenmod (latest) using CWM with the firmware on my phone downgraded to H1 (so I could have root). After this happened, I tried letting the phone charge and seeing what was wrong, I found out 2 things
1) The phone will NOT boot into recovery or anything else, even with a jig
2) The computer makes a sound when I plug the phone in, but I cannot access any of the files
3) Phone is not recognized by ADB
The only light I get from my phone is a solid red light when that only happens when I take the battery out and plug in the phone with a USB(The light is a solid RED)
I do have a read/write tool for micro sd to computer, but I do not know if it would help me, I am at wits end and am very frustrated at this sudden brick, please help if you can.
Any and all help you can give me is well appreciated, thank you in advance, if you need any other information please don't hesitate to PM me or reply.
Does the computer hang when detecting the phone?. If so the phone is double borked and unsaveable.
Remove battery, plug into a powered usb lead and press power while holding home + vol down, until the screen lights up, to enter download mode. If no download mode the phone is total loss.
If you manage to get download mode you can then use odin 3.0x to flash a stock rom.
Select "ap" or "pda" in odin and find your rom then click "start" in odin to flash. Wait until "pass" is displayed.
If you have download mode but pc wont see the phone try other and older drivers.
Ps, red led means charging.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
