I am pretty sure that someone has posted something similar to my problem, but I can't find anything that gives a straight up answer or seems to kind of deviation of the problem.
So I do have cyanagen mod 10 stable installed on my phone and it has been great... No problems what so ever. I'm not sure if something happened or if it was something that I had changed, but the only thing system wise that I had changed was under the ROM Tool Box, I had edited the screen settings to change the dpi of the screen. However, everything worked fine after it changed and rebooted. In fact, I loved the fact that screen was now "bigger..." Meaning that it made the icons and text smaller.
So, now the problem comes, now the phone doesn't load up. The battery died and I plugged the phone into charge it and it turned on like normal with the little loading image of a circle (like the one you seen when a flash file is loading) and then it blinked and did it again, but then nothing. Normally if you let it sit for a second and press the power button, it would show an image of the battery charging. But it doesn't. If I press and hold the power button, it starts to laod up and says "Samung Vibrant" then goes black, and then repeats Samung Vibrant again and again....
Now I am not a super genius on the android thing, but I have flashed many different ROMs and thought I had bricked my phone many times as well, but always have been able to bring it back to life. I am actually starting to think of my phone as "Frankenstien" since it has died and came back so many times...
Now, I have tried to reboot into recovery mode but doing the volume + and - and power, didn't work.
I have tired to boot into download as well...
The phone can be plugged into the computer and it recognizes it as far as sending out a charge to "charge" the phone, but it does not recognize it in Kies or in Odin. I reinstalled the drivers as well and still not recognized... I know the phone is "old" as far as that goes, but it was working fine and currently unemployed, so every penny counts.
Suggestions?
Last night my phone started bootlooping very frequently. I was running the CM10 built with Samsung source that was posted in this section for a while with absolutely no problems, when suddenly the phone shut off and started doing short, quick vibrations repeatedly. Like the vibration that the phone makes when it first turns on and shows the Samsung logo. I pulled the battery but it continued once I put the battery back in. Eventually I got it to boot but soon after it booted it started again. I am now running Blackjelly v1, and though less frequent, the problem still persists...does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Mine did the same thing... It was crazy...Nothing I did fixed it... Flashed away at any 4.2.2 Rom and It was consistent bootloop... Decided to take phone apart and clean power button (read somewhere power button gets stuck) Same issue bootloop... I odined back to stock...bam it worked...now the capacitive buttons don't work... So after booting stock I flashed TWRP recovery and attempted to flash 4.2.2 rom to no prevail, I am only capable of flashing BlackJelly v1 any other rom sends me into (App is upgrading screen after boot after apps say Starting Apps bootloop) nonstop bootloop...
I honestly wonder if my phone is the only phone that will not accecpt 4.2.2 roms...

It's now bootlooping like crazy. It'll turn on for like 5 minutes and then go right back to bootlooping. My USB port is kinda screwy so it's hard to odin anything. I'm at a loss for what to do.

I had boot looping problems several times now. For me, it's always been sticky power button. One time, I forgot it had that problem at work and looped for 30 minutes. I just take out the battery for about an hour, then get the power button unstuck. My button gets stuck at the bottom of the button, so I can normally mess with the top part to fix it.
So the issue has escalated even further now. It is a sticky power button, i believe, but now when the phone tries to turn on it shows both samsung logos and then shuts right back off and refuses to turn on again unless i do a battery pull...I'm not even sure if it's turning off, actually. It turns on immediately after inserting a battery into the device. But right now I have a fancy brick.
Definitly a power button issue

My phone started doing a crazy bootloop just out of the blue last night. I have never had a problem. I took the battery out to put my memory card back in. I'd been using it for my digital camera. This is not out of the ordinary. I do it all the time. But after I replaced the card, battery and cover it started this continuous boot loop. Sometimes it will go to the main screen and allow me to perform some functions, but then it goes right back to the bootloop. I am running the Padawan JB rom. I did the complete wipe, factory reset and re-flash. But it still did the bootloop. The only time it does NOT exhibit this issue is when the phone is on the charger. Then and only then it works perfectly. Is it the battery? Why will it bootloop without the charger and work fine when on the charger?
It is probably your battery

The Note won't run without a proper battery installed. I had the problem where I swapped out my dead battery for a fully charged one (I do this everyday) and all of a sudden it kept bootlooping.I spent a few hours, when I got home, flashing it back to stock etc to no avail. I could get into download mode, and download to my hearts content but when I tried to boot the phone, it looped. Samsung, samsung, samsung....
I swapped back my, now charged, spare and BAM it booted into stock android no problem. I think my first (stock samsung battery actually) is finished. Or at least has some serious issues, and the phone refuses to boot with it in but my spare (Anker battery) works fine.
I hope this works for you's, it did for me

Hey Guys, ive scoured google for 2 days now trying to find a way to fix my phone.
two days ago i was doing some work and i left my phone on the table, and later i found out that the battery was low and it had shut off. But when i looked at it, it was just flashing the "samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100" text logo. (and not the animation circle logo.)
I tried turning it off, didnt work so i thought it had frozen which happens, so i took out the battery and put it back in again.
Then i tried to plug it into my recharger, and it was showing a grey battery icon and was frozen on that screen always, the screen doesnt turn off, the battery icon isn't showing that its charging. doesnt change, just shows the same empty battery grey icon with the refresh circle-arrow in the middle.
I tried taking the battery out leaving it out for 5 minutes, draining the battery from the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then trying to charge the phone. Same issue, only showing the grey battery icon when trying to charge and it never changes or goes away.
SO i tried to boot up the phone, but it wont go past the samsung text logo.
I tried entering recovery, but it just freezes on the samsung text logo.
I can enter Odin download mode, and ive tried installing several different both stock, original and CMW roms, and nothing changes. (except if i use gingerbread, then the grey battery icon just keeps flashing off and on in 5 second intervals when plugged into the charger.)
Ive tried taking the battery out for 8 hours and try booting it, no change.
Ive tried changing the battery, no change (think it has low bat as well maybe).
Ive tried leaving it plugged in overnight, but that only drained whatever power i had left over in one of the batteries.
Ive tried some of the siyah and doriman kernels, and they add a loading bar which gets full on the samsung text screen,
but then freezes after that.
Im losing my mind here, ive tried almost everything i can think of. And would really appreciate any help on this.
UPDATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so to keep this post updated for people experiencing the same issues.
IT seems there is a hardware failure in progress.
BUT i managed to get a temporary fix, it seems that by having the ear plugs connected into the earphone jack in the phone, the phone becomes somewhat usable. I was able to get into recovery, and able to flash a new stock, and its up and running, but as i said this is only a temporary solution as the real issue is that the phone is not conducting the electricity in a proper way that allowed me to recharge my batteries until i had added the earphones...
The phone becomes unusable for me when i remove the earphones again, as i believe its failing to conduct the electricity from the battery properly through the motherboard without something connected into the earphone jack..
SO for people having issues with their phones, it might be a possible way to get your phone temporarily operational again.

Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread, download the 3 part stock firmware linked in the thread, flash it with Odin (only if you absolutely have an I9100/I9100T though).
Edit - Doesn't sound promising though, cross your fingers doing that works.
yeah i tried hoppers guide, didnt help me.
Still stuck on the samsung screen.
Whats wierd is, if ive got the phone on charging, it wont boot to the samsung screen even, it just turns itself off
and returns to the grey battery icon again.
Hang on....Did you try flashing the 3 part firmware like I mentioned ? If you haven't, do it. If you have, it's a service centre/local mobile repair shop job.

Yeah, tried 3 part, even another packages with pit files bootloader and repartitioning from another guide.
still no change, still freezes at samsung text screen.
I dont want to take it to a service center, as there is none around here as far as i know. Norway.
If i can just get it into recovery mode i can prob fix it, but i cant fracking enter recovery. Its driving me insane.
Given what you've tried, no chance of fixing it yourself by the usual methods.
Either take it to a local mobile repair shop & ask them to source a 2nd hand motherboard for you & put it in, or you source one (from a 'donor' phone; a phone with a broken screen that is otherwise OK for example, search online) & either replace it yourself or pay the local mobile repair shop to do it if you're not confident enough.
have you ever flashed a rom on that before..... or is this a stock ROM phone we are talking about???
if it was a stock ROM phone....then did it receive updates over carrier network and started to install itself???
if yes then you should have not stopped it...... i have some problem with phone 3 days ago.... i downloaded latest XWMS1 released for nordic region....... phone is fixed and i am back to neatrom 5.3.1
i suggest you download XWMS1 ...and try flashing it via Odin..... might start......
keep fingers crossed

It wasn't any update or anything, it was related to the battery i think as the batt was low.
And instead of recharging the battery, it went into bootloop and started draining the battery more when it was plugged into the charger.
ive downloaded xwms1, still stuck in bootloop.
Ive even opened it up to see if it was a hardware issue, i see no flaws, all buttons work and nothing is stuck.
the phone just keeps going to the samsung logo, and wont go into recovery mode.
It can easily go into download mode, but recovery mode is just not happening.
at this point i just ordered the Xperia Z1 instead, but i still want to fix this phone and give it to my dad or something.

errrrm - just a thought (and it's a real long shot) I had some strange battery drain (bootloop) issues with a brand new i9100 and it turned out that the micro sd card I was using was corrupt, took it out and it worked. Might be worth a try but like I said its a long shot. If that does not work I agree with mistahbungle and looks like you wil need to replace the mb.

I've went through this on my Hercules, T-Mobile S2. I had Android tweaker pro, removed all of the tweaks, and rebooted. It took me quite a while but I was able to get into recovery by the normal button mashing.
DO NOT HAVE THE PHONE PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGER.
PRESS THE VOLUME BUTTONS THEN THE POWER BUTTON WHILE STILL HOLDING THE VOLUME BUTTONS.
AS SOON AS YOU FEEL THE FIRST VIBRATION, LET GO OF ONLY THE POWER BUTTON!
CONTINUE TO HOLD THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL YOUR RECOVERY LOADS.
THAT IS WHAT HAS WORKED FOR ME.

Please Help !!
i kinda cloned my ROM , it happened by mistake while trying to flash my kernel , now that my phone is stuck in samsung start up logo , . tried to reboot still the same result. . . :crying:
No recovery ? If that's the case, stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin to get a 'clean slate' (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has instructions) & re-try whatever it was you wanted to do. If you do have recovery, try a factory reset in the first instance, if that doesn't work or if you have recovery but can't do one for whatever reason, proceed with the stock flash via Odin.
Thanks
thanks a lot mate , my fone back in action. successfully flashed, now running on JB 4.3.1 on Paranoidandroid 3.99-RC2 , so far so good .:victory:

A friend of mine had am Android phone that had a similar problem. It always showed the headphones on the status bar and Could not be heard. If you will take your phone apart then you can look for bridges in the solder points. These happen from poor construction and over heating. Fix the bridges and you should be good to go.

I did take it apart and had a quick look, all seems ok. However I was not ready to junk the phone so I improvised a little, its not pretty but it works.
I had an old headphone jack which I cut down so as it would just fit into the jack point, installed Soundabout Pro app which forces the calls to come out the earpiece and not headphones voila it works. In the end it cost me a lot of time surfing countless forums, anger management control and some joy at getting it to work. Still without the help people give on this and other forums it would be a useless phone :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys
So I had bought a used galaxy s4 on swappa, got it, it started fine, I took it to the verizon store and got it set up with a 4G sim card, everything seemed good. Let it charge for a bit and then shut it off and stuck it in a box (the phone is a replacement for a family member who is away right now so it was just gonna hang out for a bit).
Just last night I took it out of the box to try and turn it on and get some info on it and it won't boot. When I start it up is says "Samsung Unlocked" and shows that unlocked Icon, that goes away and nothing else happens.
The weird thing is it didn't have the unlocked thing before when I first got it and was starting it up, it had the normal "Samsung Galaxy S4" boot screen with no lock icon, and I haven't done anything to this phone in terms of rooting or romming it. I did boot into the included recovery once, but I didn't mess with anything.
When I try to boot into recovery now (hold down power+home+vol up) I'll hold it down for upwards of 30 seconds, and I don't get anything. It doesn't vibrate indicating it has started up, and I can't get it to do the normal boot and black screen again until I pull the battery.
Any suggestions on what to do with it at this point?

OK I'm gonna look like an idiot here, but this was the issue. After leaving it plugged in for ~30 minutes it turned on fine.
I had charged it to 100% and was sure I had turned it off before boxing it for a few days but I must have screwed something up!

Hey all,
so a few months ago my SGS2 went off. It was an interesting behave of it, it just started to turn off sometimes, without any reason, without any popups (eg. battery low) or anything. I was really curious about this problem but I didnt have a single idea of what happened to it. Like a week later, it didnt turn on at all. I disassembled it, and found out that my secondary microphones cable broke. I thought that was the problem, so I ordered a new module (which includes vibrating motor, secondary microphone, ear-piece, and the jack).. I waited 3weeks, the first one arrived broken. I waited another month, and today the second one arrived in one piece. I put it inside the device to see if it works but its not. NOW the problem is, like it was before I ordered this module, when I try to turn the phone on, it doesnt do anything at all.(with the broken secondary mic cable it did, it went till the samsung logo and then bam, blackout) IF I put it up on charger, it says the battery is FULL, and from then, I push the power button and it starts to turn on, but goes until the Samsung logo, or sometimes it did boot, but thats rare, and then again BAM, blackout. Now I was like wtf? So i tried to reach recovery, I did a full hard reset to the full stock SGS2 ROM, tried other kernels, recoveries, ROM's, but nothing helped me. NOW If i enter DOWNLOAD mode without the charger, it says "Low battery! Cant download." and this happens right after i plugged the charger out, and it told me that the battery is full (what a liar), but when i plug the charger in, I can reach DOWNLOAD mode, and Recovery mode too, but they do blackouts after a few minutes too...
Any ideas?
Would be happy if anyone could help me out...
thanks :good:

oh and if it matters, its GT-I9100, 2 years old.
if you can get your hands on a different battery, i would recommned you to test it with that too.
as your device is 2 years old and i am assuming you havent changed the battery yet, there are strong chances of battery life getting over.

well today i am about to test a new battery, i hope thats what the problem is... an extra thing, and yes im stupid because of this but i left my battery in the phone for the 2 months while it was off... a friend told me that it can cause the batterys death, is that possible?
If u want to leave your phone switched off then it's better to charge it and then remove the battery from the phone. So there is a possibility that your battery is Screwed because of that time when you kept it in the phone itself.
