Hi there. It happened to me too. I tried everything and nothing worked. At the end I ordered an usb-c Board for the NOTE 8 from ebay for 7€ and replaced it. Because of the moisture error my Gear VR whould not turn on.
Anyway 7€ for the Board and 10€for the Glas Back Cover. I actually managed to save my original Backcover.

This obscure solution worked for me!
Same problem here. I tried a ton of fixes: new cables, new chargers, safe mode boot, USBDevice data wipe, Dalvik Cache wipe, full reset, etc. but none of them worked for me. Closest I got was holding down Bixby button on boot and then plugging in cable-- which would let me charge normally UNTIL I unplugged the first time; would always get moisture detected after that until next reboot....
UNTIL I found this solution in a single obscure Youtube comment:
1. Reboot
2. Plug in cable on first logo
3. Unplug when 1st logo goes away
4. Quickly plug in again on 2nd logo.
It worked like a charm for me. Now I have no issues.
This confirms to me that there was some odd software flag that was tripped. My guess is that there's a baseline voltage the phone measures for charging, and when the voltage is under that baseline, it throws a moisture error. I bet this sequence causes the phone to measure a new baseline, thus resetting the bad data that tripped the moisture flag previously.
Just a guess, but would make sense.

[Q] Galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.

I got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.
When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.
With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.
I got a youtube clip showing all this and I will update the post as soon the 'audio swap' is done.
The power button is not stuck.
It's not rooted:
Code:
Android version: 2.3.3
I9100XXKE7
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root(at)DELL101 #2
GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.
I fully charged my battery. No change
I drained my battery to 0%. No change
I tried another battery. No change.
What's the deal? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I'm asking this in order to avoid sending the phone to service since it most likely will be gone for a couple of days. I will not try stuff involving rooting the phone since I need to have the option of sending it to service without them refusing the phone due to rooting.

What's the deal? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
The deal is as always step one backup your data and via recovery factory reset .
Saves the service centre doing just that and may fix the problem .

Hello,
Factory reset was one of the options I was trying to avoid. However I just performed a format/factory reset. And the problem is still there. When I shut down the phone restarts.
Also to add to the confusion the phone can also enter a state when I'm in the battery charging screen (Not booted phone) when a thermometer with a warning sign is pressent. However, I have waited for hours with the battery unplugged and everything is cold. That warning seams wierd to me and might be the root of all evil. That screen is pressent without a USB cable plugged in and that is also abnormal.
Any other options?
Thank you for helping.
/Anders.
I recorded the problem.
I cant post links in this forum due to:
"to prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"
but paste this search string to youtube
"galaxy refuses restart" and it's the top clip
alternatively add "/watch?v=eBB_3qtgj68" after the youtube url.

Have you tried to hold down the Power button for 8 seconds? OR a battery pull for 10 minutes?
Regards.
yeah you should try and pull out the battery...
i had the same problem after I used the JIG on my phone.. it refused to shutdown, and kept rebooting it on each try to shutdown..
i pulled out the battery for awhile, and plugged it in and out to the charger..and it worked.
if it's still nagging you, try flashing a new kernel
Yes I tried pulling the battery and also used a battery from another S2 without any changes in the behaviour.
They talk about this problem at androidforums
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/377331-spurious-battery-temperature-warning.html
Seams like there is no known fix for this problem yet.
I turned in the phone to the local service center today. We'll see what they say.

Maybe your power button is faulty or stuck. Do you have a case? Is it somehow holding the button down after you release it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Generally this is caused by a dirty or faulty USB port. Shorts on specific pins with specific resistances will cause different behaviors.
Try cleaning the port with a dry clean toothbrush. If that doesn't work, take out the battery, and try cleaning the USB port with a q-tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Then let it dry before putting the battery back in.

I've already tried it and no luck. The technician told me that it is the USB Port problem sometimes also because of overcharging the phone. The USB Port can be fixed immediately but the problem is my SGS2 is a Korean S2. They told me that the port is different from the one's that they have here in the Philippines. Is it true?

Even i used to have these problems. Phone shows charging or usb cable connected for no reason out of the blue. Device wont simply shut down and would start up again.
What i did was perform a hard reset. Pull the battery out first and clean the usb port a lil bit. After some time it vanished

Until now, it's not happening to your S2 again? How did you clean the USB Port again?
Well nothin much...i just took a little cotton and cleaned whatever i can. And then i kept the phone off for about a day or two. And when i switched it back on voila the issue had disappeared
The only problem am facing now is the home button issue taking me to voice command. But then again i froze it with titanium backup. No issues after that

And yeah...been 8 months since i last encountered that problem. Another thing is i used to Yank the device out from the usb/charger cable when plugged in. Now i carefully remove it without much force. Maybe that helped too. Just saying

[Q] Dead device? please help..

Hi all, i got my Galaxy S2 about a year ago (9100 normal, non AT&T or verizon or another else ) and i never encountered problem like this. One day i was texting on the toilet, and unfortunately it fell down on a bowl of water and its all soaked. I just turn it of and take out the battery, when i turn on it again, the start mode triggers, the icon Samsung igt 9100 is showing up and it keeps blinking and blinking, bootlooping. many of my friend said that it is fine and just wait for the water inside the machine to dry up, like one week or so. but after one day i tried to turn it on, the yellow triangle below the 9100 logo is gone ( i think its resetted and everything is gone ) and it went to download mode. But after that, i was not careful enough and my battery fell off, and the phone is turned off dead. and after all of that, i can't even turn on the phone, nothing happened, its like a dead phone without battery.
i went to many forums and many people tried to fix it using the download mode USB jig recovery kit, i bought the i9100 USB jig on the eBay, its arrived today. I tried to plug in on my phone, and i try to turn it on and even every boot method ( download mode, and recovery mode ) and holding the power, still nothing happens. what should i do...?? does that means my cellphone is dead forever? :crying::crying:
You should have put it in a bowl of dry rice for a couple of days to completely dry it out. I think you turned on your phone too soon with the risk of having it f**cked for good.
You seem more accident prone than Mr Bean.
Stick it on eBay

Unfortunately it is dead, because you did not wait til it dryed out before starting. You fried the flash chip which contains the information for the phone to run.
Only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard. Which means it becomes a new phone with different IMEI.

plug in the charger and let it charge for few hours. You should have left the phone to dry before switching on

I doubt there's anyone here who can tell you how much. That will depend on how much parts & labour are in your country. Send it in & find out.

[Q] How dead is my phone?

Walking out of work yesterday, I swapped my dying battery for my freshly charged one, and powered up the phone. I see the Samsung logo pop up, and then the CyanogenMod wheel start spinning, so I slip it in my pocket. I pull it out a couple of minutes later to check something, and the screen is black. I press the power button a few more times, and the Samsung logo shows up again. Apparently my phone was off. So I wait on it to boot up, but it never leaves the Samsung logo. It sits, and sits, and sits...for a good 30-45 seconds, it sits on that screen. And then it goes black. I try again, but nothing happens. I switch back to the dying-but-not-dead battery, still nothing. I leave it to sit on the seat of the car with no battery for the drive home, and try again. Nothing. I leave it to sit on the charger for a couple of hours, both with and without a battery. Nothing. I leave it "charging" overnight. It's warm in the morning, but still nothing. I can pull the battery and put it back in, hit the button, and a little while later it will heat up, as if it's running and something's hitting the CPU...but no vibrations from the phone, no sounds, no anything at all, other than the heat. I tried my jig just now, as it was in my desk at work. More nothing. The phone is cold, the battery is cold, it might as well be a rock.
So...any chance of saving this thing? I'm really hoping to hold out for Black Friday sales to replace it with an S4 or something. If I can get this thing to last me another two months, I'll be happy. If it goes belly up November 30, that's fine. I just hope I can make it last until then. I already had to throw down $50 to get my wife a limp-along phone off Craigslist...am I going to be stuck doing the same for me?
First see if you can boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. If not, see if you can get into download mode. If you can, flash back to stock and see if that lets it boot. In any event, you should perform a wipe data/factory reset at the earliest possible moment, even if you have to reflash the firmware first. If you can get back to stock, you should be able to reinstall your custom firmware.
So far I can't convince it to acknowledge that it's even on. The only sign it's not 100% dead is that it warms up when plugged in. I have no idea if it's actually doing anything other than sending juice to the battery because there's nothing on the screen and no vibrations or sound to alert me that it's doing anything at all.
:-/
I'll add that my computer doesn't acknowledge the phone's existence. Linux desktop, lsusb shows nothing remotely Android/Samsung related. Granted, a failing microUSB port on the phone isn't helping, so I don't know how valid this particular test is.
So u are in the need to enter the fast boot mode or else try the official firmware installation by the help of SD card.....
Hit thanks if this helped you...

...could you explain either of those? Fastboot, from what I can tell, is an HTC thing, and has nothing to do with Samsung phones in general nor the i777 in particular. As for firmware installation, is there a way to do this without any screen, PC connection, or feedback from the phone whatsoever?

Some Samsung phones have fast boot. I think the S4 does. The I777 does not.
If you can get the phone into download mode, (and if your usb connection is working, which I think from what you said may be in question,) then you can use the Samsung tool, Odin3, to flash firmware. You would have to use a Windows computer since Odin does not work on Linux.
I think your main problem is that you have a failing USB port. You should consider buying a replacement and putting it in yourself. It is supposed to be fairly easy. Once you have that working, you should be able to recover your phone.
Could it be possible that whatever it was trying to run drained the battery and now it's just refusing to charge? I had almost an exact same situation happen to me. I ended up having to buy a cheapo external battery charger from amazon to charge the battery and finally get it to boot.

Sadly, download mode doesn't seem likely. The phone is basically functionally a rock, with the limitation that it's probably easier to break than a rock. I may venture down the replacement USB road, although I'm a bit leery of spending money on the device, given that it won't even power on.

That's what I initially suspected, but I actually have a Samsung charger I bought off Amazon that came with a spare battery, and I've charged both batteries with it to full capacity. What does appear to be happening is that when it's generating heat, it's actually discharging the battery rather than charging, as a battery pulled from the phone takes much longer to charge on the external charger than one that has been charged from the charger, pulled, let sit, and put back in the charger. It's possible the phone refuses to power on until it can charge, though, because I too have had that issue in the past, and the only solution was to let it sit on the charger for a few hours. The first half-hour or so, nothing happened, but then eventually I'd get the battery charge animation. Sadly, letting the phone sit overnight did nothing this time around.

Water Damage/ F1 Wont charge when turned on

Firstly I'd like to say that I stupidly dropped my phone in a bowel of water yesterday.
Following this ,I immediately turned the phone off, blew into the charging port to hopefully remove any water. and left it standing overnight. Then in the morning plugged it in to charge , which worked.
The following day (today) my phone will not charge when turned on, only charging when turned off.
I have tried multiple chargers, restarting the phone, holding the lock and volume button for 15 seconds and starting in fast boot mode, ect.
I am not sure what to do, possibly I need to get a new charging port and replace it myself, or with aid from a friend.
I cant find anything online regarding the issue with USB C phones, all of the instructions were for mini usb phones and they suggested bending the pins back into place in the phone, not sure if this s any help with USB C.
Should i leave the phone to stand in rice, over night, should I open it up and lightly apply a heat gun to it to evaporate any water in the phone, should I replace the charging port ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, not sure if this is the right place to ask,
-side note, I dont need anyone telling me i'm an idiot for dropping the phone in water, I already know this to be true.

Hi Narayanan
Thanks for your response, I will try doing this tonight.
Regarding the ROM, I am not familiar with the process, Is there a way I can backup my Phone and system settings ect, and then do this.
How does one install their ROM again, is it simply a factory reset ?
I am a newbie to these things,
-Kind regards

Thankfully I had twrp installed and had a latest firmware inside . So I reflashed my rom again .
You try factory reset . Hopefully it will work.

P20 Lite won't turn on anymore, red LED blinking

Last Friday (24.09.2021) I changed my phone's battery. I cleaned my phone, somehow some alchool entered in the charging port then I plugged it in like an idiot. Luckly nothing else broke except the charging port so I ordered a new one. The phone was working fine at the time and I could have used it normally, just no charging.
Today I finally got it, switched it, tried to turn it on and it wasn't turning on. I put it to charge, expecting my battery to be just empty, and I see the red LED blinking and the screen wasn't turning on at all. At first I thought that it was just a faulty battery and I tried my old one, same results. I had an old P9 lite lying around so I decided to test my battery and it worked.
I'm worried that somehow I broke it even further and I won't be able to retrive my photos and important files back. Is there any way to fix it?

I think the only way to save your data is to extract the data from the emmc module and install it on a new motherboard (maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert). Ask the service center. But complete motherboard replacement is too expensive if you don't have a phone warranty...

Last Friday (24.09.2021) I changed my phone's battery. I cleaned my phone, somehow some alchool entered in the charging port then I plugged it in like an idiot. Luckly nothing else broke except the charging port so I ordered a new one. The phone was working fine at the time and I could have used it normally, just no charging.
Today I finally got it, switched it, tried to turn it on and it wasn't turning on. I put it to charge, expecting my battery to be just empty, and I see the red LED blinking and the screen wasn't turning on at all. At first I thought that it was just a faulty battery and I tried my old one, same results. I had an old P9 lite lying around so I decided to test my battery and it worked.
I'm worried that somehow I broke it even further and I won't be able to retrive my photos and important files back. Is there any way to fix it?

Hi. It might be very very late, it's been one year since you posted this. But the exact same thing happened to me. Turns out you simply just need to force enter recovery, charge it a bit, maybe 5 minutes or so, then reboot.
Here's how I did that:
Back cover open.
Unplug battery.
[Be careful of static electricity]
Plug charger. The phone turns on.
Wait until it enters recovery mode.
Plug battery. Yes, in the phone on, recovery mode state.
Wait around 5 minutes.
Reboot.
If you can enter the main screen, wait a bit to see whether the battery is charging or not (the percentage goes up). If it's charging, then you can put everything back again.
If the phone stays dead when you plugged it with the battery unplugged, then maybe it's another hardware issue..

Thanks for replying, but unfortunately the problem still remains even after trying that. The furthest I could get is into recovery mode.
Bought a new phone a long time ago anyways, so it's no longer needed.
