Hi there !
i'm a complete noob when it comes to flashing and stuff and this is the first time i post on a forum and I've been surfing the net for over 10 years now. goes to show that i really need your help and i wouldn't bother any of you unless I've done everything possible and already shown on the previous posts that describe the same problem as mine.
long story short, 30 days ago I've installed the Lolipop Rom 5.1.1 for my i I9100, and followed every step shown on this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2955551
2 days later, my phone screen start heating up and turned completely white. tried installing the stock Rom, everything goes well, Odin detect the phone the rom gets installed without any problem but as most of the guide says, i need to enter to recovery mode to wipe out all the data and reset the setting to factory mode, but since the screen is still white, i can't do that. is there anything else that i can do to fixe this exept for the Usb Jig thingy ?

Hi everyone! Kinda my first post here so be gentle
I have a S3 which i rooted almost instantly when i purchased it a year ago. Haven't had any kind of problems with it until now. Over the year i've tried most of the roms out there but now i decided to try the rom called "illusion" (don't know if this problem is related tho!)
It was working fine for a couple of days but suddenly today my phone started bootloopin. I can't even go into CWM or download mode. Sometimes it can stay in CWM och even boot up but after like 2 minutes it restarts again. I've managed to wipe everything once but no change. Was able to install a new rom BARELY, then it restarted again. I've tried remove SD and/or SIM but no change. Ain't working with a usbcable either.
What can I do? Seeing that I can't stay in download mode to use ODIN.
I'd appreciate any help.
a USB recovery jig may be your best shot otherwise its a service center repair
Hello! So.. I have a problem and i sincerely don't know what to do. 3 days ago, after a day of use (everything went ok for a while) i came home, i grabbed the charger and pluged it into my phone so it can..charge(nothing out of ordinary). After like 1 hour, i took my phone, unpluged it from the charger and pressed the on/off button to open my phone, check my gmail,facebook, the usual..buuuuuut it won't open..
For the first couple of minutes i thought it was just a bug and tried to restart it(take the battery out, wait 1 minute, put it back in, press "the button" and so on) but still it would not start. RESEARCH TIME!
After this, i went online from my laptop and started looking for explanations regarding why is my phone (i am trying to avoid the word but..) maybe "bricked"..
Here is a video i found online that explains what my phone is behaving like: "*SOLVED* SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 wont turn on, in description"
(i can't post links )
IMPORTANT
- My S2 has the official software ( JB 4.1.2)
- Never rooted my phone
- Never tryed to change anything to the software
- Did a couple of factory resets in the last 1 and a half year just to refresh it(so it is not such an old phone)
- It is not under warranty
Ok.. after 1 day of research i tryed the following methods:
-went into recovery mode and did a factory reset to it, erased the cache, rebooted it etc..still nothing
-when i saw it was not working, i went further into the download mode. Odin on my computer, official firmware downloaded(4.1.2) ready to go..
After i waited for a couple of minutes so Odin would do it's magic, the little window( In odin, the one with factoryfs, cache,hidden etc.) reached the "Reset" status, the blue bar on my phone dissapread and it started to reboot.. but here everything got out of control.. my phone started to reboot like this: samsung logo on for a few seconds, and then the green android with the blue things spinning appeared on the screen but just for one second, and then, it was gone...and the phone started to repeat itself.. i mean the logo and the green android again and again, without any improovment and way to stop it.. so i pulled the battery out and started thinking for other solutions..
OK, after i saw this, i tried again with the 4.1.2 one, and then with the 4.0.4 one(i thought maybe an older soft would help me) but still it wouldn't go through all the way( ok honnestly i think this one was the one that wasn't stuck rlly on the green android screen but on the samsung startup screen with the S sign on)..
the end..
Sorry for the long story but i really don't know what to do with my phone
I am willing to listen to any solution you guys can offer..thanks :good:
Keep flashing different firmwares and take a look at this guide
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
I used this guide to install CWM to my phone, the phone was already rooted successfully. I used the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486512
Before the first rom flash the system description said the phone was a P705g and the phone itself has it marked as a P708g. I saw this as no consequence and carried on.
*** UPDATE***
So the sticker behind the battery marks the phone as P705g, the plastic case just said P708g. Guess they just didnt want to waste plastic at the company
As soon as I unlocked my bootloader the phone started turning off after 2-3 mins of use. I was able to flash CM10 nightly successfully and it worked, aside the turning off. I thought it might be a problem with CWM so I switched over to TWRP. I installed it through CWM, but to no avail. Still having the same problem. And I yes I wiped cache/dalvik.
After the phone dies it restarts and keeps loading the cyanogenmod load screen, until it eventually restarts again. This happens infinitely.
I have phone now that needs to have the battery popped everytime I want it to load. That would have been ok but it keeps turning off...
Guys I need help! Currently a student and money is scarce so buying a new phone is out of the question for some time.
Thanks for the help :laugh:
Good night everybody! my dad got this phone a while ago, after like 2 months he told me the phone was going crazy, I checked and was getting FC´s everywhere so get into recovery mode to wipe everything and there´s where problems started. I downloaded stock firmware and installed it but phone wouldn´t boot up, so my dad gave it to a guy that ``fixed it´´ but the problem came back after two weeks or so, the guy ´´fix it ´´ again but when I looked into the phone had no IMEI so didn´t recognized the sim card, the third time the guy got back the IMEI, that was long ago and today when I booted up the phone is having a weird behavior, sometimes gets stucked at the bootloader unlock warning, I restart it and after a couple of times starts the boot up animation but gets stucked at the M and like waving part.
I´ve tried getting into recovery mode but when I press any of those options boots to the warning bootloader. I got it to completley turn on when I pressed the recovery option; not expecting that to happened, but again some force close windows and decided to reboot it to see if would fix it but again to the same place stuck at the warning.
I´ve read many posts here im xda and outside but can´t find a solution. I tried to side load the firmware but looks like the pc doesnt recognize the phone´, when i got it boot up I connected it to the pc but didn´t recognized it, I installed the drivers and still the same.
Guess I need to get it recognized by the pc in order to try to side load a firmware. Sorry for the long post and any mistake, if someone can help to bring back to life this little fella.
Greetings Everyone,
Yesterday i installed the last CM13 nightly via the CM updater in this phone.
But after the phone restarted, a green android and a "installing system update" appeared for a few seconds then after it went black, the screen blinks each 5 seconds or so, but nothing ever happens. I left the phone on overnight to see if something came up, but to no avail.
Furthermore, now i cannot enter recovery mode, only download mode and my computer does not recognize the phone. I tried pretty much everything, the basic guide on rooting i9100, KIES, Odin, Heimdall flashing, offering corpses to the Old Ones and nothing works.
Does anyone have any insight on what might be happening? I installed CM13 on my two phones (a z3c and a Note 4) and everything went smoothly. Now with this i9100 i was using 6.0.1 but everything went to hell after i tried this update.
Thanks in advance
I'm in a same boat

You might find your answer here I'm not clever enough to post the link so you get it "Longhand".
Go To Forum Galaxy SII General.
Scroll to [Guide} Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (i9100G/P/T/ versions included)
Have a good read through it and if you dare go for it . It's a "back to the future" sort of thing, takes you back to "jellybean" and android 4.1.2. (The route I took anyway)! Good Luck!
same problem here! please help me get my phone back :crying:
argethalm, fazallfrd, ThiagovGuerra
I had same problem - but ....... it was software bricked. Like yours.
If I repair then all of you can repair like me.
