Hi guys
I have a sii that is not turning on at all
I have another sii
I have removed the mb off the non working sii and tested it in the working sii and it doesn't work
I have put the working mb sii in the non working sii screen and it works (this eliminates that's its a screen issue)
I am sure that this is a mb issue as I also cannot go to the download menu by pressing the power button, home button and volume down key with no success
I tried multiple batteries with n luck (batteries are in working order)
I also pressed the power button down for 10 seconds with n without the battery - failed
I have very important photos that I need to retrieve and unfortunately I can't access them so far
I was thinking, is it possible to remove the storage from the non working mb onto the good mb? If so, where is the storage chip located on the sii mb?
P.s. this happened suddenly with no physical damage at all
Samsung has advised that they will wipe everything out to begin troubleshooting hence they are no good for me in this so xda... Plz help!!!

I dont think that you can replace the storage
That has convinced me to start saving photos on the SD card rather
Reminder: no playing with mobos.

I had a similar problem. phone was running great. one morning it would not turn on. no baterry charging, no recovery no down load mode. not even with a jig. definate hardware problem. sent it to moble tech. needed a new motherboard, they dont do that repair. they sent it back. I bought a new sg2. 4 months later I pulled it of the shelf, slipped a battery in and it powered up, booted and runs fine. who the hell knows.

I'm dying here guys
Is there no one that can do this
Where are all those guys that know everything about everything
Plzzzzzzzzz help
Ask local mobile repair shops (not Samsung/authorised repairers) or even computer shops that can do data recovery from hard drives, etc. That's your best (only) chance. This is not something you're going to do yourself.
P.S - Re: the whiny "Where are all those guys that know everything about everything Plzzzzzzzzz help", what do you honestly expect anyone here to say/do ? You have a hardware problem. We're not there with you. We can't help.
P.P.S - Let this be a lesson to you/everyone else who doesn't do backups. If your data is that important, back it up. Given free cloud storage & cheap SD cards, people have no excuse to not do this. I have zero sympathy for people who don't backup their data.

"noob ok...lazy noob not ok"
Alright then. Description of my problem first I guess. I was not at home and running out of battery on my S2, but play store asked me to update some application so I agreed. After this I got the message that my phones internaly storage was running low, and keep in mind that I had near to no battery life (like 5%) and was not near any sort of charge point. I tried to access the applications page, to delete some apps that I never used and when I did my phone randomly and crazily got stuck and switched off. I'm assuming it somehow drained the 5% battery life I had left.
I got home thinking I could just switch on my phone and delete some applications that I wasn't using...that was 2 days ago...I can't even get past the samsung splash screen. It goes on a horrible boot loop and I've just about tried everything apart from hard resetting and I don't want to do that as I haven't backed my phone up recently...
If anyone knows any other methods, could you please please help? I would really appreciate it if I could keep my files and just enter my phone to delete a couple applications...which I'm assuming is the problem.
What have you tried? What firmware do you have? More info would be nice :thumbup:

yay for quick replies. I have tried cold booting, and soft resetting...I also went into recovery and cleared the cache partition to see if it would help and so far nothing... I have absolutely no idea what firmware I have and I have no idea how to check. I never tried to root my phone or install other roms.
OK so if you have no idea what firmware you was on don't reset Cuz if you was on 4.0.4 kiss good by to your phone. Was it ICS or jb? Do you know this? Pull battery out leave for a bit "5 mins" and try again. If that don't work and your not sure on firmware you need Odin to replace firmware yes data will be lost. Can you get to download mode?
Hey everyone!
A while ago I dropped my S2 and never really bortherd trying to get the data of the device but today I figured I might aswel try. There is one major problem though.
I know the phone still works because the bottons light up and it makes sounds when I start it up, but the screen is black and wont fuction. I have connected it to my PC but I cant access the data because its locked
Any idea on what to do next?
Kind Regards
Hi everyone,
I have my S2 since 4 and a half years. During this long life (for a phone) i was experimented some troubleshoot easy to solve. Now i have a tricky one. The other day the phone suddenly the image stuck freeze, so i remove the battery and turn on again. Then appear a screen telling me that "phone has unsuccessfully encrypted" so is necessary make a factory reset. On that screen only appear one button "factory reset". At that point i decide restart the phone and then is when this one never turn on again.
I have 2 batteries and is the same with both of them. Additionally the phone gets hot when the battery is placed on the slot.
Please if any have a advice to discover what is the problem and how to solve i will appreciate.

What firmware were you running on your phone? If it was ics 4.0.3 or 4.0.4, your device is probably doomed. If it was jelly bean or if you were running gingerbread or custom rom, there may still be hope.

Im very sorry because the 8long time without reply. Finaly a get an old s4 from my dad, in order to whait for the new s7. Regarding to the s2: it was running CM lollypop. I sent it to a technical guy but i dont know what to do.
I think is death. To only thing i want by now is recover some pictures and some important data from the phone.
