Hello,
I'm posting this for a friend, because his phone is "dead" and he is unable to post himself.
Earlier this year he brought a Galaxy SII from a second-hand phone shop, and it's worked fine up until now. He updated the ROM to the official 4.1.2 and since then it's had issues connecting to his home WiFi (unrelated, but it lead me to suspect the ROM) but it connects everywhere else. Then yesterday his phone just went blank and turned on again - the boot sound played at the touch buttons lit up for a moment and then faded as with a normal boot. But the screen was blank apart from several white spots, and a load of coloured pixels. I saw it myself today, and the colour of the pixels is random, although usually red or green, and the phone gets incredibly hot about a minute after turning on.
Is this a ROM fault, or could there be something more serious to it?
Just a shot in the dark, as I've never owned a Samsung, but could it be the "sudden death" bug that they allegedly have?
Thanks
Does it go to recovery? Factory reset. If not does it go to download mode?

I'm not sure - I think I managed to get it into the bootloader, but there's no way to tell because there is nothing on the screen but the white dots and random pixels. All I did notice was that when I removed the battery and turned it on again even more pixels appeared. We only went by the sound and touch lights, so it appeared to boot, but we don't even know if it switched straight off again

you are not sure ? did you try to go into recovery or download mode ? shutdown the phone first
Recovery = Volume up button + Home button + Power button
Download mode = Volume down button + Home button + Power button
Press vol+and home button and power button till it boots to recovery. Keep them all pressed down till it boots. If not try vol- home and power till it boots to download mode. Has he dropped it?

We tried that, and the touch lights came on but with no boot sound. The screen didn't change, just white dots and pixels, but it was working fine the day before.

Tried both, the screen just did the same thing and the phone got very hot very fast, and he said he hasn't dropped it at all, but that someone in his family may have, he's not totally sure because nobody admitted to using his phone.
Screen is prob broken. Pixels on it..not good. No recovery or download mode..really bad. For it too get really hot really fast may be a mb problem. Send it to service centre

Okay, thank you! He tried calling them and getting a quote, but the guy on the other end didn't seem to know what to do, and the man who owned the shop he brought it from offered to repair it, but for almost double what it cost him to buy the phone.
Thank you!
No problem mate. Get a second hand one. Prob be cheaper to do that now the s4 is out. Mb cost alot.

please remove the battery for like 10 minutes, wait a little bit, then try to go into recovery or download mode,
if that doesn't work, try this:
1.Press the key combination for recovery
2.Samsung logo appears - hold the buttons pressed.
3.Prompt disappears shortly - you still hold the buttons.
4.Samsung logo appears again - hold the buttons still pressed.
5.Count to 3 & let go, dont press the buttons anymore.
After 1 - 2 sec farther the Samsung logo disappears and the recovery starts maybe, i did that on my old i9100

Thank you, but that hasn't had any effect. Still a blank screen with white dots and thousands of coloured pixels. Thank you for all of your help though!

Hello everybody,
This morning my Redmi Note 5 ask me install an update.
I did as asked.
Since The phone is not booting, no logo, only a back lit black screen.
When I push the power button for several seconds, the screen turns off then the backlight turns on and that'all.
I try to boot in recovery mode with "Volume Up" and Power Button, but I get the same behavior.
Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Thanks and best regards
I have the same problem, no signs of life. None of the button combinations work. Phone seems to be dead. I flash in EDL mode but can't power on phone
I have Sony s and when Im installing a cm12 In recovery the phone turned of cuz no charge
And now I can't turn the phone in all ways
I tried turn it in flash mod and fastboot mode I can't turn it on
Just I can charge it about 5 minutes and after that's the led light turns of
When I'm pressing power butun and volume + button I can fill a 3 vibration
Anyone have a fix?

Test to charge over night and then in the fastboot mode.
No charge mean, a empty battery by flashing?
Good luck
Samsung Galaxy S9+ No custom, Just a normal phone from T carrier.
The situation is as follow. I wake up everyday and cannot turn on my phone, the screen is black but I hear it beeping when i press the volume keys. I do a Vol down Power to restart thinking it will , it restarts but the screen is black and unresponsive no matter what I do, the Power button is still functional at this moment.
What I quickly did is I connected the phone to my monitor using USB-C and i have a mouse connected to the internal KVM of the monitor- , perfect got excited that the phone at least works, on the monitor it shows up perfectly, I can control the phone with the mouse, enter my 4 digit password, works. That was the situation yesterday. Should have backed up then but didnt.
Today I wake up, the Power button does not work, so I read and find out that I can go downlead mode which I did using the Vol down and Bixby and plugging the charger.
tried the Vol Down and Power to restart it does not, so again I go in to the download mode and accidently press Volume up, Now I am completely stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target
1. Power button does not work- I have no idea how to get the past Downloading screen now
2. Would I be able to recover anything it its really dead?
3. Any tips?
