Hey guys,
my I9100 died this morning. It won't turn on. It even does not show the charging icon, but I have a glimpse where the problem is located at: The NAND.
So some background: Yesterday, I plugged the phone onto my computer. Windows came up and said the storage is defective and it should be checked. I didn't thought about it and commaneded to do it. So everything was fine. Everything still worked.
The problem appeared this morning: I couldn't start Ingress. It always crashed with an IOException at booting up. So I wanted to clear the app's cache. The phone was calculating the sizes and then stuck. "Okay. No Prob. Just reboot." So I did and put it into my bag, because my ROM (Vanilla Rootbox) needs some time to boot. After some minutes I checked again and saw it stuck the Dorimanx bootscreen which I had disabled. I tried another reboot. It came up with the typical "Samsung Galaxy S II" Logo and the blue bar down it filled and it stuck again.
I tried another reboot by taking out the battery, but since then it doesn't turn on anymore. No Power+Home+Vol Up/Down; no charger; nothing.
With attached battery and charger, it get's hot around the camera lens, but nothing more.
I even tried another battery, some time waiting with battery and without battery; charging and not charging, but still it's dead.
So I think, Windows somehow managed to kill my NAND.
Any ideas?
/edit:
With the battery plugged in, it just get's warm.

A few days ago my phone got soaked through my pants as I was working in the rain. I came home, dried it out, etc. and tried to turn it on. Wouldn't turn on, so I started charging it. I eventually got it to turn on and it seemed to be working fine except for some reason it said the battery life was at 0 %. Note that it was still working normally otherwise.
I went into recovery, made a backup, and did a factory reset to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't, so I restored the backup. Now the phone won't turn on at all.
When plugged in, it shows the charging battery symbol, and if you hold power to turn the phone on it will sometimes begin to start, but it gets to the boot animation and simply stays there forever (I've left it at the boot animation for several hours to no effect). If I try to boot into recovery it simply does not work; it will either just restart the battery charging animation or boot normally (and then get stuck on the boot animation).
In a last ditch effort, I was going to try to flash a stock ROM from Heimdall. However, I plugged my phone in and tried to enter download mode and was greeted with the error: "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!." This was after charging the phone all night. I then proceeded to charge the phone for another hour then try again, to the same error. And now here I am. It seems the problem is that my phone will charge, and the battery will be full but for some reason the phone doesn't recognize that the battery has a charge, so it just thinks it's at 0%. I've tried a different battery and was unsuccessful. Is there any way that I can either force my phone to enter download mode or somehow get it to recognize the charge on the battery? Or is there some other way I could resolve this? Or is my phone simply gone for good?
I am (was) running a rooted I777 with Slim Bean ROM ( I believe v8) 4.2.
Have you tried using a JIG it can be an option
If a JIG doesn't work you can try removing the battery, then plug the phone to the PC and go to download.
But for me the problem is with the battery. If after flashing the ROM you get the same results, don't think it and BUY A NEW BATTERY.
Good luck.

I has the same problema, I spend two days searching on the web, but i didnt have any idea.., ,y problem is. when we conect to ANY charger (car/wall/PC-USB..) appears on screen a batery logo, but the batery never charged..., I tried to enter to the CW but, the keys combination doesnt make anything on the phone, and without live on it, I cant access to CW..., I wait for 2 hrs, with these cell phone conected to charger to see if the it gone works...
ANYONE has another idea for how we resolve these issue? My phone has a stable version of CyanogenMod..
same with me but what i did was put a different battery in, let it charge for a bit then put the original one in and it only started charging after i used my car charger as i was driving to work so thats how i fixed mine.
Hi there!
I have a friend who has this phone, Nexus 4, which has some problems..
Out of nowhere it startet to not start. It boot up fine, gets into Android, and the first thing it does is shutting it self down. I get the message "shutting down" and there is this "loading screen" as if I had done the shutdown sequence myself.. Which I am most definitely not doing!
I thought that deleting everything and doing a foctory reset would do the trick. This turned out to delete everything, including the OS. After that happened the red light of doom started showing up. It turns out the phone was completely drawn for battery, which I fixed by putting the battery in a "professional" charger. The same charger I power up my RC batteries with. When this was done it once again booted, and I got to flash a new 4.4.2 OS onto it.
And then it starts to shut itself down again..! Every single file is deleted and reseted. I have even switched out the battery with a new one. Just too be sure..! Does anyone have a trick I could try?
Thanks in advance!
So... My dad bought this S2 for him a couple of years ago, and on the first 15 days, he let it fell, and the screen broke, but he kept using it like this until around 3 months ago...
Now he has a G2, and the S2 had no use anymore, and I thought about using it as a dashcam on the car...
Installed dailyroad voyager on it, and used as dashcam for about 15 days...
Then today, I got on the car, it was off, but with the charging cable plugged in, I pressed the home button, it said the battery was 100% charged, so I tried turning it on
It went until the animation that plays when booting, but restarted, I tried again about 5 times, each time it rebooted a bit early than before
It got to a point where it didn't even reach the animation, just the "Samsung Galaxy S2" appeared on screen, and rebooted...
Then I tried going on recovery mode, and it worked, so I cleaned the cache partition, made it clean user files, etc... then pressed to reboot, and still didn't work...
So I thought it could be a battery problem, and unplugged the cable while it was on the recovery screen, and it didn't turn off, I let it on the recovery screen, and went to do some work for about 2 hours, it was still on
Now it won't do anything without the cable, can't turn on, can't go to recovery, and even with cable plugged the "Samsung galaxy S2" screen won't appear anymore, and I couldn't get to the recovery screen anymore....
Here's a video of the actual situation:
Does anybody knows what's happening and how to fix?
Been running the GPE ROM flawlessly since I flashed on the 12th... Until today. Don't know if this is ROM related but maybe you guys can help.
Out of nowhere, my phone kept shutting off. Couldn't use it for more than a minute after booting before it would turn off completely. Battery was charged so I was kind of like 'wtf'. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't even get to the swirling colors boot screen. It would shut off halfway though the Samsung Custom logo. ****.
Tried plugging it in and pulling the battery multiple times. I can't even boot to recovery! The blue text shows in the upper left but then it will go off again. It's plugged in now but not showing the battery charging screen.
I can only get it to turn on for about a second. Am I ****ed? Is this thing bricked? Super random because I changed NOTHING this morning and it was fine yesterday.

It could be a power button failure, it's actually quite common on the S4.

Hello,
A friend of mine told me she charged her phone, suddenly the phone rebooted, loaded the SA from samsung, and got stuck.
Then the phone wouldn't charge anymore.
Initial investigation told me there was a form of oxidation on the usb charger module.
I cleaned it and I could charge the phone to 100%
I can't boot up the phone, it loads back to th SA from samsung , then goes black again, but there's a blueish light pinking on and off.
I did a "simulated" battery removal and tried to reboot in recovery.
There i first got a message : update failed with the android dead on its side, then got the recovery option.
I chose: reboot normally and i got the phone screen for about 5 seconds, then it went black again, but now with a white flashing light and the phone became very hot for a moment.
I disconnected the charger and the light kept blinking.
So i waited untill the light went out (approx 24h) then plugged the charger back in..
Tried cleaning out again , but the phone does not respond anymore.
My friend would like to recover her pictures that are stored on the internal memory card.
I'm out of ideas on how to recover the phone.
I need help, and probably a lot of it (she's very cute )
Any ideas on how to fix my/her predicament?
Many greetings
Izzy
