My S2 won't turn on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It turned off due to low battery, I plugged it in to charge, after 30' the screen flashed and showed "0% battery icon". Since then it won't turn on, it won't charge at all, I can't access download/recovery mode. Tried to jumpstart, nothing.
What can I do? What's the issue?
(tried another battery and another charger, still phone doesn't respond.)

Use USB Jig to go to download mod
then install the stock Rom

I don't have one but even if I did, I'm afraid it wouldn't work. It seems like it's a mobo issue.

[Q] Phone starts to ''charge'' when turned off. help please.

When i turn off my phone, the battery logo shows up, and blinks every sec with a yellow triangle and a termostate bar. the only way to turn the phone on again is to remove battery, connect a usb cable, putt the battery back in, then hold power.
using lightningROm 1,4. tryed factory reset.
does a new battery solve this issue?
Obvious question but is the charger connected ,
What happens if you connect the charger .
jje
Same problem here. Factory reset or stock rom does not solve it.
the yellow triangle with termostat bar disappear when i connect charger.
when i connect charger while the phone is on is takes about 10 sek before the phone starts to charge, and when i disconect is takes 20 sek before the charging symbol dissappears.
when i connect to pc, windows tells me 0,1sek after i plugged that it doesent recoignize my device.
gonna try my friends battery later today.

I have the same problem :-(. Battery icon that says "battery full, disconnect cable" and the cable is unplugged! What to do?
One question, is your phone worked fine after flashing or the issue occurred just after ? Perhaps, you did a wrong flash process... and you have brick your phone.
In that case, you could buy USB JIB to be able to reboot in Odin mode and be able to flash again. This is the only solution I thing.
As i said before, same problem, also tried to flash stock rom but nothing
To the other with the same problem, if u go into settings-aboutphone- and then battery use.
What does it say?
mine says 0 seconds on battery :S

I've the same problem...
does anyone resolve that???
i don't want return it to samsung..let me know!!!
i had a similar issue with my sgs1 .. turned out to be that the phone's usb port had some kind of rust ( which messed up the internal connectors of the usb port signaling the charging or connected to usb icons ) and had to send it in for repairs and they just replaced the usb port. i guess it was from humidity.
btw my phone never made any contact with water so i was surprised that that was the problem

[q] possible brick please help!!!

Hello, i was trying to odin back to stock with my phone as i had done before many times. I think some how i checked re partition by mistake. Any way it didn't write. So then i unchecked but still didn't write stock rom. I disconnected the phone and then it was all bad from there. I got the phone and computer sign. So i tried a method of getting it recovery that had worked for me before witch was to remove battery plug phone into usb and hold up and down volume keys and put battery in. Please someone help!!!!!! With all the great developers onthis site i know someone can help or deliver the bad news that it's nothing i can do. Thanks in advance.....

you're only soft bricked, when i've used odin i've had repartion checked everytime and its worked fine (apart from a few freezes but its worked after)
try it by holding the vol buttoms with battery in and plugging usb in
if it doesnt work at first keep unplugging and replugging in and try different usb ports, it once took me 2 hours of doing that before it connected
and it can connect to odin from the phone ! pc screen so keep an eye on odin for it connecting

This is true - more than once I've had different crap interupt the process while ODINing, and ended up with that screen - but ODIN was able to see my phone, so I went through the process as if I had the regular download mode screen, and it worked fine.
thank you!!!!! you are the man. i opened odin up and kept battery in and held buttons and put in usb cable and it worked. no one ever mentioned that odin could see the phone without being in download mode before. i would kiss you if it wasn't for the you being a guy thing. lol

no prob, glad to help
just putting the usb in like that with the battery in only works for me, the other way of pushing the battery in doesnt
so try both ways if there's a next time, it might get moody and not want to work the way you normally do it
the phone ! pc screen's pretty much another version of download mode i think

Need Help ASAP

I was trying to flash my phone into a gingerbread rom and it failed. Now my phone wont even turn on. I tried to get into download mode. Nothing, read alot of threads and all they tell me is to open odin and it will fix it by reflashing to an oem stock rom. The only problem the phone doesnt respond to anything I do. Can you help me.
Email me at [email protected] thats the best way to get a hold of me. thanks

Are you getting into download mode with the battery pulled(ie...pull battery and hold vol. down, yellow triangle should appear)? If so, try redownloading the samsung drivers. If that don't work, try another computer to make sure its not a usb issue. also make sure your using the stock usb cable that came with your phone.
ya i have tried 4 computer is the household and still not yellow triangle...err....someone told me try and make
You can try to put it in download mode away from the computer by keeping the battery in, pressing and holding the volume down button, and plugging it into a wall socket.
If the phone powers on and goes into download mode, unplug it and go over to your computer without turning the phone off. Plug it into your USB port and remove the battery.
From there you should be able to run Odin and flash back to stock.
Not sure if it will work for you... but it's worth a shot.
what i have heard i hard bricked the phone. I can get the phone even to turn on. I have tried the usb jig but i couldnt get it to work so i ordered one on line and should be here tommarow. I believe that I flashed with my sd card in would that cause this to happen?

Brick? Help please!

Possibly i did the most stupid thing in my life.
I accidentaly started to odinflash a p1000 firmware on my s2 i recognized it at the do not turn off sign no process has been done nothing has been flashed i pulled off the cable. And the download mode was still on. I wanted to restart download mode so i used the 3 button combo. The screen went blank and didnt turned on again.
The reason i tried to flash this **** cause i work with phobes and i handle loads of firmware. What can i do? Its not my phone tbh .
Please any idea?

Get a usb jig and try that if you can't get into download mode normally.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
If you can't get into download mode the usual way, jig is maybe a 5% chance of working (I'm probably being generous). JTAG repair - cheaper option or Samsung service center/authorised repairer - probably more expensive option unless they don't notice it's been messed with thru some miracle.
Definitely try a jig tho & while you're waiting for the jig to arrive you might as well put it on charge overnight & leave it alone, then try getting into download mode the usual way again.
if your phone gets detected on system? if so try the following adb command va commandline
"adb reboot download".
Thanks i hope obe of the methods will work. I tought jig is 100% percent stuff you serious i have 5% chane that it will work?

Did you try hooking your phone up to your PC & trying some ADB commands as Bala suggested ?
If you get absolutely no signs of life from the phone at all, it's unlikely the jig will work. But you might as well try one.
when i plug the usb i hear no sound from my pc and i dont know if the phone is turned on or off cause its just blank screen.
in the device manager there is no new device.
i have efs backup
thats all
I think playing around with ADB is going to be a bit difficult to be honest (you'll need to find an ADB tutorial; search for one if you still want to try), so order & jig/wait for it to arrive.
If it doesn't work, either get it JTAG'd or send it in to Samsung.

1.Remove battery reinsert battery and use combo key for download mode(try to download mode of P1000 or try to download mod of Galaxy S2. don't care black screen)
2.connect usb phone and pc
3.see odin if ID com connected(yellow) you can flash Galaxy S2 rom
no nothing helps
you know when u plug something to yout computouer
you her a little "ding" sound
i dont hear that
how is the usb jig is working anyway?
i think i messed up big this time.
if i plug it in to usb the comp dosnt recognizes it but the phone is getting hot aroundd the camera.
only after 10 minutes of plugged in time.
still no idea ?
the service guy will come to us at wednessday soi just ask him to restore bootloader with jig? or what?
Just wondered if you have tried to boot the phone into recovery mode
Pressing and holding the volume up + home + power
Guess you probably have but its not mentioned anywhere so just a thought becasue you can do a factory reset from there if the phone will boot into it.
nothing helps, tomorrow is the day , i hope we can send it back to samsung to repair it ... or the usb jig thats my last hope.
thanks for the answers.
else i have to pay for a 300 euro phone that i have never used ... /cry

Samsung Galaxy S3 T-Mobile Wont power on

Hi Guys,
My sister has a galaxy s3 from t-mobile and she was having issues with the battery dying and the phone wouldn't power on here and there. I made her go into recovery and wipe the cache. The phone powered on and then a couple of hours later it wouldn't start.
When I plug the charger in with the battery the charger light doesn't go on and the phone doesn't start.
When I plug in the charger without the battery installed the red charging light goes on but the phone doesn't power on and then the red charging light goes out. My PC installed some drivers when I plugged it in but I don't see the phone in My Computer.
I tried to go into recovery and download mode with no luck.
My main objective is to retrieve the data on the phone (family photos). Is there any possible way I can do this?
Your help is greatly appreciated! (Theses photos are important)
Ok so I ran Odin and connected the phone and it is showing that 0:[COM5] is detected or it's highlighted yellow. Does this mean anything? The phone charging light still goes off after a minute and the Odin says the device was removed.
Try a usb jig and new battery, else a repair centre.

I tried a friends battery and it still won't power on.
If I do the USB Jig; from what I understand that will put the phone in download mode. Is there a way to recover data from the phone if it is in download mode?
Thanks for response. I really appreciate it!
No, you can't access data in download mode.

Thanks boom. Do you know of any service that I can use online that can recover the data?
I'm sorry but no, the data is probably unrecoverable -the internal data is not the place to store precious photos.

Yes it does make the noise and it installed some drivers.
These are the screenshots of the Driver that was installed and what Odin shows when I plug the phone in.
Thank you for trying to help me. I really appreciate it!
