i9100 wont charge - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a little question, recently a friend told me if I can fix his i9100, cause "it remains at logo"
My surprise was that the phone doesnt even charge, when I plug it to the power, a battery that aparently is loading apears, for 2 segs, and then the screen turn off, and then the battery icon agains, and remains in a infinite loop but wont charge
Someone have this problem and knows how to repair it? I wish the problem isnt hardware :/
This is the exact icon i say:

could need a new battery or new usb flex cable (charger port)

even more, perhaps..there is a "bootloop" problem that explained this behaviour...please looks for the post, in Development thread, to fix this issue

Thank you very much for your answer, it makes me happy that possibly the problem has a fix, but, please, can you link me the fix, i searched before (maybe i didn't search properly) but I didn't found it, please help me, thanks in advance!

You will have to reflash a stock rom using ODIN. Don't worry because there are many guides over the internet. Guide: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/how-to-restore-the-stock-samsung-galaxy-s2-rom/
Make sure you download the rom for the correct version of phone!
Once you've flashed stock rom, make sure to factory reset and wipe cache partition. (note: don't do this if you are going to flash ics because this might hard brick your device)

I9100G Dead

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G in dead condition when i connect to pc it ask OPAM4430 driver. and i have installed but i cannot active it to download mode even i cannot see anything on LCD screen.
any on please help me to flash this phone with any rom.
Regards.
First of all, what did you do first? What I can say is try do this when phone is off. Power, volume up and home button at same time. See if this works. If you get, try selecturing wipe and see if the full wipe solve the problem.

A phone wont just die like that.If you did something to it then give some details althought it sounds like a kernel problem.The wipe idea is a good one,probably your best bet as you wont be able to use odin.Do a full wipe.
Boot to recovery (power+home+vol up)
Wipe cache partitiion,go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache (go back)
go to Mounts and Storage and format System,Cache,Data(go back)
Factory reset and reboot.If you get a bootloop then pull the battery,put it back in and reboot.
If you cant get to recovery or download you could try fussdownloader but im not sure if it works with the G model.Anyway the drivers can usually be found seperatelly and installed if you google for them but may or may noy not help.Worth a shot.
actually i got this phone from my friend and he say some one try to Nuke it i don't know how.and i cannot go to recovery mode by pressing volume down home key and power key also it not detecting on Odin
Regards.

Sounds to me like someone made a mistake trying to flash it and put the wrong firmware,or worse,the wrong kernel in Odin.Most people brick their i9100G phones with i9100 firmware.they are not compatable.The only thing I can suggest is try and find out if there is a RiffBox JTag service available for the G-series.It is for most other models.What it does is wipes and repairs the motherboard and bootloader.Ive had one done on an i9000 for 35 euros so its not an expensive job.Just need to find out if its available for your device.Ill leave a link below,Its an old one,but its a list of places world wide where they do it.If you dont see one close to you then use the page and google to search for one closer to your location.since this page was released the JTag has become more available in more areas.so you should find one close to you.good luck.

thank you very much for your clear reply and ill try and inform you.
Any one can give the correct jtaf pinout for i9100g
same problem for me, friend gived me i9100g bad flashed with i9100,
now it is dead and ask for omap4330 drivers when connected to pc.
It not go in download mode and not go in recovery.
I'm triyng to flash boot with riff but riff not detect it

here are pinouts for @pmmali
how did you solder it??? its very tiny....
Lol.....VERY steady hand, a fine pointed soldering iron and a magnifying glass are all necessities.
Word of caution.....don't jtag if you want to send the phone to Samsung (under warranty).....they'll see that some "unofficial rework" has taken place and deny liability for warranty repair on that basis. ....

Samsung Galaxy s3 NOT ROOTED stuck at Logo Screen

I know this has been asked dozens if not hundreds of times, but it seems everyone has bricked their phone by rooting.
My phone has never been rooted, and I have had it working fine for at least 9 months now.
It was working all day and when I got home from school I plugged it into the charger the same as every night and when I woke up it was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy III" screen.
I have no idea how to fix this please help, I cannot get into recovery mode it just says "recovery 'something'" and disappears quickly then shows the Logo Screen again before shutting off.
I can get into download mode and I guess I have to start from there.
I don't want to do a wipe without at least getting into it in safe mode somehow and backing up some things, please help.
Oh and if it helps no new software was added since the last reboot, the only thing I could think of that changed from it working fine to this morning was my alarm? It was supposed to go off sometime in the morning maybe that froze it up? Other than that I have no idea why it would brick all of a sudden

Sounds like "half SDS" which requires Motherboard replacement.
Please boot into download mode and let me know what it says there.

[Q] i9100p Bricked while recovering previous save of rom

Hi
I will try and list everything i can i suspect i will not be able to fix this but thought someone might have some insight as to how it happened.
Whats Wrong:
No signs of life, no boot screen, no recovery mode and no download mode. I have held down the reverent buttons for over a min and i get no response from the phone. Have checked its not just a flat battery, its been charging for 2 hours and same response whether plugged into charger or not.
What I was doing:
The Phone was the stock Rom that I had rooted (I use the orange signal boost app at home, and didn't want to lose it.) I decided to change the menu icons for my apps to a matching set and was using APK editor to do that. Knowing that messing with the signal boost app could mess it up I created a backup of the Rom using CWM before starting and then tried changing the icon and re-installing signal boost. It failed and the app would not run when I tried to re-install the original. So I booted into recovery mode and told CWM to recover from the backup i had created. I left the phone and when i came back it was blank and has been ever since.
Phone details
Orange Uk branded i9100p
running android 4.0.4 stock (rooted)
As I said I doubt this is an easy fix but if anyone can give me a hand i would be eternally grateful. Failing that is someone can shed some light on what went wrong so i can avoid it in the future that would be great to.
Thanks

[Q] I beseech thee, help me diagnose my YP-G70!

I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?
Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.
While USB Cable is disconnected:
Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)
When USB Cable is connected:
http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ
Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.
Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.
Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.
When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.
I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:
(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:
I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?
Have you tried repartitioning it?
By clicking that check box in Odin? Yes.
Ah, you must've hardbricked your Galaxy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360 < See if anything in that topic helps you.
You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...
When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.

That would make sense but which ROMs would those be?
This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

Let me know how it goes...
Downloading now. I'll have to try it tomorrow on spare time. Really hoping this works. Thanks for giving me some hope, I really thought this thing was done for!
It's not hard bricked... that ROM will restore it. But after you flash that rom , you'll need to flash a different Rom for your region...

I never even heard of a "Full" ROM before. The problem I was having was apparently my bootloader - or lack-there-of.
You saved my Galaxy Player's life! Thank you very much!
I'm happy to say that this case is closed!
I am going to favorite this thread. You never know when you'll need some good info like this.
Ironically, my GP just managed to softbrick -_- I may be f'd.
Edit: Thankfully, I managed to fix it. Whew!

Samsung s8 plus it keeps restart, and now cant turn on

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my s8 plus Samsung, suddenly my phone froze, and begin to restart, almost 15 times or more. Then I did a force restart by holding volume down and power button, and after then its start-up usually for 10min, and again restarts, after I connecting to the power cable to changing, it stops charging. Then didn't response for nothing. DEAD, and after I leave it for a couple of hours, I tried to enter safe mode and to wipe cache memory. I thought maybe some app is causing a problem, and I run a test, and it shows me like this. On google, I found that probably is the motherboard, but somebody says its maybe last android update. And my friend says that perhaps it is RAM. Can somebody help me, I only want to access my phone to enter the gallery and save photos, then after that, the phone can be lifetime dead, it doesn't concern me. Thanks for helping me

Finally, after almost 12h, I successfully power on my phone, and when I turn on, it showed me this error. Now I think maybe is everything ok with the motherboard because when I type on google this problem, it says that after Samsung Knox update, many users have this problem with the phone.
