After my phone got a bit wet, it got into a boot loop where it reboots every 4,4 seconds and can only do that when charger cable connected. It does it by it self once the cable is connected, no button are pressed. It is tottally dead when no cable is connected, nothing get shown when buttons are pressed. I was able to access the volumedown+power button menu the first few hours, but not anymore, perhaps because it reboots too fast now.
I man able to go into fast boot mode, which gives me about 12 seconds on the fastboot screen before rebooting again to the normal 4,4 second loop.
I don't have TWRP installed, and the phone is original. I don't care much about it, but would REALLY like to recover the pictures I have taken with it.
I'm willing to destroy the phone, if I can recover the pictures from its internal memory.
Is there anything that can be done? Does it help to send it to Oneplus?
I hope someone can help me.. /N
Best to leave it for a while hopefully it will dry out and allow you to hook up to pc.

Thanks. It has been drying for 5 days now and it is still the same as described in the original post. Anything I can do?

Besides taking it apart and further investigating not really. I'm assuming it was drying in rice?

Yes, drying in rice, but perhaps a bit late. Still the same issue.
So If I take it apart, how will I be able to retrieve the internal memory? It is a standard disk of some kind?

Yesterday, I restarted my S2, and that's the last time I've seen it turned on. It's simply death. It never restarted. It shut down forever. I'm wondering what's happened, it was working well before, but haven't find any answer...
Now, I probably already know the answer of the question I'm writing, but maybe I'm wrong... So, here is the question: is there a way to access the internal memory of a death Galaxy S2? I've tried to connect it to my PC, pressing the turn-on button and checking if something happens, but the device is obviously not recognized by the OS of my computer.
Any idea?
Thanks.

You could buy/make a USB jig to see if it brings life to your phone. Did you change anything before restarting? How long ago did you restart/shutdown the phone?
Will look at how-to/where-to-buy the USB jig...
No, I haven't changed anything before restarting.
And I installed the CM10.1 nightly on 8/3, so the phone was running for few days. The problem happened on 10/3 evening.
gabby, tried another battery?

Thanks.
I think I'll carry the phone to customer support... if it costs too much, I'm going to change the phone.
However, I'd still like to recover data in phone memory...
Get an assesment.
I honestly think that your battery is the issue.
But that's just me.

The phone doesn't start with both my Samsung batteries, the original one and the original extended (2000mAh) one. So, I don't think it's the battery. Moreover, I left the phone under charge for an entire night, and I'm quite sure it was charging (touching the battery, it was warm), so even if it wasn't totally empty when I restarted the phone (around 13%), it's now fully charged. And the 2000mAh one was already fully charged.
Does it get warm near the rear camera?

If I remember correctly, yes, but not so much.
And the battery too (while charging).

Devices hardly just drop dead.
Take it to the service center and see what the have to say.
Have you found the answer yet?
I have the exact same problem! I cant start my device at all, tried everything (and yes, new battery and such) but i cant get any life in it.
I really really need the stuff on the internal memory. But im not comfortable about sending it to service (i dont trust them to respect my privacy). So all i need is to get some life in it so i can mount it on my laptop and just copy the whole internal memory.
Im in such need of help i dont know what to do. I can pay some money to get a solution!
Thanks!!

When it gets water damaged you should remove the battery immediately and you should've waited for it to dry for at least 48 hrs. You shouldn't turn the phone on immediately. Now about the pictures I assume it's in the sd card? Most of the sd card today are water-resistant ones so you should be able to recover them by plugging the sd card through an micro sd adapter then to your computer.
As for the phone if you're on warranty you can try bringing it to a samsung service center for repair. If not you now have a paperweight device or just pay for the repair.

Then i'm afraid the internals have been damaged. Salt water may have corroded the parts inside.
I don't know how you can retrieve the photos inside the internal sd card maybe other users here know how so if you can wait others might respond but in the meantime i suggest that you bring it to samsung for repair and ask if they can retrieve it.

Can you see it on the windows explorer though? It should appear there as well. If you can't then it might be pattern/pin/password protected and since you can't make the screen to work then sadly you won't be able to retrieve them. Just send it to Samsung.

no its not in windows explorer becaused of USB Debugging mode. Its connected and the phone is charging but kies isnt detecting it.
Is there not a different program/software i could use?
EDIT: There is no password on the phone

You said on the OP that you need USB Debugging to be turned on meaning it's off this whole time but now you're saying it's on?
I've no idea of what software/program you can use. And I repeat just send it to Samsung for repair they have the proper tools and they might help you retrieve your photos.

lol okay sorry I misunderstood. But like i said earlier the internals might have been damaged that includes the micro-usb port that's why it can't be detected by windows. Sure it can detect the current for it to be charged but the component inside the phone for it to be detected by windows might have been damaged. Really don't know anymore sorry.
There are multiple identical same question posts that may help.

So one day my phone decides to not turn on. No clue what happens, pull it off the charger, then nothing. I try to flash stock hoping that would help but it would go into download mode or even acknowledge the fact that it's plugged in. After repetitively removing and putting back in the battery then plugging it in to get into download mode, I finally do it. I think the very first time I flashed to stock it just turned off halfway through. I kept flashing stock a bunch until it finally worked. I boot up, but it won't complete a full boot. I flashed stock again and here I am. It is perfectly capable of making a full boot, but tapping it with a medium amount of force immediately shuts off the phone. I checked and cleaned the battery contacts- nothing. But that was the only cause I could think of. I've tried other batteries and it's the same. I don't know what to do. I don't know why it's doing this. Any ideas? What can I do to fix it?
maybe a wire or some thing to do with you're power button has came loose.

How would I check for that? I've taken it apart many times. I took it apart recently as well, and everything seemed fine
I would check to make sure everything is plugged in securely and if possible adb logcat while tapping the screen to see what the out put of the log. it may take a while to pin point the problem but honestly I don't remember how I fixed that issue its been so long I forgot.

Will do. I'll let you know what I find
I installed the stock rom through twrp and it seemed to work ok.
I then went into twrp again and tried to use it to wipe the sd card, which didn't seem to work. So i then tried to have it repartition the sd card and that also failed. At which point i turned the phone off - and havent been able to get it back on since.
however, i think the phone is actually still on in some way. When i plug it into my pc, it detects that the phone is plugged in, which it shouldn't do if the phone is actually off. It's been less than 24 hours since this happened so I'm sure the battery could still have juice in it.
Anyone have any ideas what went wrong here? And how i can fix this? Or did i just brick the phone?
What does the phone show up as when you connect it to your computer?
Nothing shows up in file explorer but under ports in device manager it shows qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com3)
That's not good
how not good is it? Did i just create a paper weight or is there some way to fix this?
Any ideas what I did wrong? Like i said, the stock rom installed. This only happened after I tried to wipe/repartition the sd card in twrp.

You may be able to resurrect it via Jtag but that's out of my realm. Have you tried charging it overnight or holding the power+volume buttons for two minutes?
I've tried just holding the power button down for a minute but nothing happened.
I was actually thinking i should let the battery drain since right now it appears to be turned on to some extent since the PC detects it when i plug it in. The battery had about 80% full charge when it died. So i didn't think fully charging the battery would help. (tried doing the power button and volume button now, no effect)
jtag is new to me - just did a quick google search. Looks like it involves opening the phone up and shorting out some pins?
I wish I at least knew what the hell I did that caused this

I believe captain had a similar situation on his m8, tired to partition his SD and made a very expensive, yet very visually pleasing paper weight.
ah shoot - i didn't think anything dealing with the sd card could muck it up. The phone will work without an sd card normally doesn't it? Oh well, guess I'm out of luck now
My Mi Pad 2 is fully bricked, is there any solution?
this is what happend, I install LineageOS on it and it was fine, but then I wanted to change the recovery, then the OS wont boot so I try to put the old recovery in it, it also fails, so I tried to put windows on it, by booting an USB pendrive and mouse with an OTG cable when it start, but a signal of battery error appears, and now it wont boot at all. If I connect the tablet to the wall power, it shows me 0% loading, I left it for like 2 or 3 days connected and nothing, still 0%, when I try to power on the tablet, it shows me the battery icon with a warning sign /!\ and wont show me the "Mi" logo, just direct to the warning sign.
The pc wont recognize it either, and wont work any buttons combination, is there any solution?
This might be over 2 years late for you but the same thing happened to me and I thought i'd post the fix incase anyone else comes across this thread.
[FIX] Open the backing and simply untether the battery ribbon cable, im not sure if leaving it unplugged cleared any held memory so I left it for a good minute or so before reconnecting. Screw it all back together, turn it on, should work fine

remove the 2 screws at the bottom (they're torx t3? I think. a good set of precision screwdriver bits should have it) and use ideally plastic spudgers to spudge it out. its clipped in but it's really easy to remove. the back panel comes off by itself, and the rest of the tablet is self contained in a magnesium frame attached to the screen.
i was pretty impressed by the construction really. super solid!
So... I had the Mi pad 2 laying in my house running on MIUI 9 and one day I got curious and tried to unlock its bootloader.
I didn't remember my password and the recovery phone no. is discontinued now. and I couldn't change it or sign out.
So like an idiot, I factory reset it. And now it's asking for a password for the last mi id.
can anyone help me? Will and edl flash do the work?
THANKS
