[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.

Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mussy52:
Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution

Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...

Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...

A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....

Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......

Do it n post it.

Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin. After it showed PASS it didnt restart even after a very longtime. so i disconnected.

Now i get the samsung logo with a triangle below. I m able to go to download mode.

Pls help guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aello:
Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?

Yellow triangle is normal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixter991:
yes auto reboot was checked. and i did remove the battery. What else can i do ?

Hi there:

I had bought the device in June 2011

I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.

Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.

Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.

I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.

Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2

Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Siddharth

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADDICT.ANK:
Sorry For the late reply.

I guess, you need to boot in recovery

with home + power+vol up

and clear data and reboot

if that doesnt help.

try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.

but let it charge first.

and post here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharma_sid:
Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.

I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.

I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?

please advice guys.

My phone is dead too...

I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...

From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.

FYI I've got my Samsung galaxy S2 , Samsng Galaxy S also Samsung galaxy S3 , note 2 and note and I'm using S2 for 1.8 years and got its motherboard replaced 2 times which costs me $225 extra (half of the price of phone) and i hate Apple and Love Android..

so your point is invalid .. SIR !! :p

just Google it and you will find out there are more complaints for samsung flagsips which have dead complainants as comapre to sony htc flagships..

i am just a customer who wants that his hard earned money is spend on a product which at least don't die on itself.

mind if I join this thread, because I don't want to create new thread since I had almost similar problem.

Okay, my friend ask me to replace his galaxy SII i9100 housing, and it turned out to be failure due the display was damaged. So, I ordered the new display, it cost about $100, and when I tested it. It just flashing white with after image of "samsung galaxy SII" logo.

I thought it was happend because I used CM 10 or it could be the display aren't compatible. So, I tried to flash it with ODIN, though I can only guess how to enter download mode since the display not turn on. after flashed successfully it turned on with the same problem :eek: .... everything except the display were work perfectly (digitizer, haptic feedback, sound, phone function).

Hey, I'm not sure if this issue applies to your case but I will post it here:

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE WHO ARE HAVING ISSUES TURNING ON THEIR PHONE.

The answer is: Imperfect battery-phone contacts. OXIDIZED CONTACTS. I had the same issue, it was driving me crazy. Phone turning off at the mere touch of the back case. How did I manage to solve the problem? FLUX paste to clean the contacts, then soldered some solder on the battery pins and phone pins. Now it works like a charm. I strongly recommend it to everyone having this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

So last night, I waved goodbye to one of my i9100P (S2) phones... I had a few of them, as my parents had them, as did I... I sought after the NFC models more so... Anyway, I was using it as a recovery tasks with some old data and kept rebooting it... until it's last reboot. Nothing, no warning, no error message... The phone was slow over last couple of days, just assumed old buggy rom as not used it in ages. As I thought when I last used it, seemed more responsive.

Anyway, after the last reboot... nothing, no message, just black screen and wouldn't come on... :( I've tried different battery, cable, adapter, jig... everything. Fairly certain this one has met its maker... :(

Which is sad, as exactly the same thing happened to one of my Notes (N7000) died exactly the same fate a few years back... Although, this one stuck on the Samsung logo, which I've read others do.... the S2 didn't do this, just went black...

So now I've had 2x Samsung phones die from the Black Death... :( Sad, as I loved the phones... Still, I am with Xiaomi these days... so hopefully won't encounter this at moment. Still have a couple Samsungs left, so hope they last a bit longer... I used an S3 Mini to carryout the original task I needed before it died...

RIP: N7000 and i9100P

Cheers, Lister

I recently flashed CM9 to my phone, but now i want to move on to JB, but for some reason i can not get into flash mode to write a different FTF.

When i I try to get into flash mode, I power the device off, hold the back button, and insert the USB cable. The LED on top flickers green then the screen comes on the the charging screen.

The same happens when I try to use fastboot except blue light flickers.

I have tried diferent computers, cables and OS's im not sure what else to try.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaiselW:
Download flashtool and install the drivers for your phone then leave your phone and enable unknown sources and enable usb debugging then open flashtool then press flash icon and select fastboot mode then plug your phone in then select reboot into fastboot mode via adb
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
I ran the driver utility and even when I send reboot bootloader via adb, the LED only flickers blue for a moment, then it boots to CWM.

I didn't think the drivers on the computer would change if the phone goes into flash mode or not though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Default Cant Get To FastBoot or Flash Mode

You would need to be in flashmode (green light) to install a stock FTF not fastboot mode has suggested above.:rolleyes: Have you tried flashing another version of CM9 with your phone via cwm and then trying from there see if the problem is not your rom.If not it could be a driver issue.:)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
I know i need to be in flash mode, i just reinstalled cm9.1.0 and it still has the same problem. I dont know what to do. I have tried multiple cords, I have used ubuntu ,win7 and win8 with the drivers installed and reinstalled. Im worried that my phone is broken.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
(1) Have you installed other roms before your problem started did this only start after installing CM9

(2) Have you flashed any other kernels before CM9 or was CM9 your first rom/kernel flash

Noticed on your first post you wrote that you hold the back button then attached the usb did you do this when flashtool said or before, you need to connect the usb exactly when flashtool tells you to like below step 5

(1) How to flash a stock .ftf Rom

(2) load & place .ftf rom in Windows/flashtool/firmware folder

(3) Open flashtool press lightening icon press flashmode

(4) Select your .ftf you placed in flashtool /firmware folder earlier

(5) Wait! Flashtool will tell you to connect your phone!

(6) Press & hold back button while connecting phone to PC green light will come on.

(7) Wait while flashtool starts flashing your stock rom.When finished it will tell you to reboot

(8) Finished unplug switch your phone on done!

Sorry if you already do it like this but some people forget and connect the usb too early :) Also I would recommend downloading a different version of flashtool some people have managed to get there phone working by using a older version of flashtool:good:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
(1) yes, i have installed several roms before CM9 and i was always able to enter flash mode.

(2)I have tried doom kernel and several other kernels as well

I have waited till flash tool prompts, but IIRC id didn't matter in the past, flashtool would see what mode it was in and proceed.

Thank you for the descriptive reply.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Did you try a older version of flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1375894152000 :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
I just tried versions 7 and 8, it doesn't seem to help.

I feel like this is something wrong with my phone though, I remember the phone being able to go into fast boot and flash mode at any time, as long as the computer was on. It is really weird how it flashes the color on the LED.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
I so this quote on another thread similar problem to yours this is what he did:

Quote: Funny thing though is that in order to get into either mode, I have to remove the battery while it is plugged in and then hold down the corresponding key while inserting the battery and the corresponding light will then light up. That seems to be the only way to get into the modes. And sometimes this does't work, but it seems to work more than not.

This guy did this to get into fastboot and flashmode worth a try?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
no luck... The light only blinks then goes into charging mode...

Edit:Is there a test point or something that would force the phone into one of these modes?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Sounds like TA damaged you could try this but it's a paid service http://octopusbox.com/eng/news/details/259....Or someone reading this thread might know a better way :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
Im looking to possibly switch carriers and this will be just another push towards it. lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngong0:
I read this for another phone and it is a shot in the dark, but if the boot block were zeroed out, it forces it into fastboot. If this can possibly work, what block device is the boot partition?

I will not bee too disappointed if the phone is bricked.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtVP:
Hi guys!

I have Sony Xperia Arc S.

Is it possible to put it in a Flashmode without a "Back" button? My BackButton is broken, I think it is a road-wire on the button's board.

BTW Fastboot mode working fine.

I just got one of the sea few day ago:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8M4IMK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has dual USB ports. One is marked Android the other Apple. The apple port if specifically designed for apple devices (iPhone 5, iPad).

Individually each port can do about 2 amps, or 3.6 amps total if both are being used. The Apple port will charger other devices slowly with standard Data sync cables or full speed with a charging only cable (no data).

Basically with a Charging only cable you could charge two device, one at about 2.1 amps max and the other at about 1.5 amps max (3.6 total amps).

I have two dedicated charging only cables coming that I plan to keep with this car charger so I can charge my phone and tablets on to go.

I tried my Nexus 2013 in my dual Sprint car charger that I got from amazon (Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Car Charger - Black with USB Port) and I'm getting a really good charge for my Nexus.

I even tested my phone charging in it's USB port while the Nexus was charging on the main cord and both seemed to cahrge jsut fine.

If I just charge my Motorola Photon on the main cord it charges faster than any AC adapter or car charger I've ever used.

I highly recommend it.

I can't post links yet but its $6 on Amazon.. search for... Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Car Charger - Black with USB Port

Fommy says its compatibale for the Nexus 7 2013 too but it's $19.95 there.

Anyone had any success using a wireless charger in the car?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
I suppose that would work, a 2 amp or 1 amp car charger should power most QI chargers.

Not sure I see the point though, I see two issues:

1. Wireless charging is less efficient and slower (better suited for the desk or night stand).

2. There's a good change the device will move around while driving and not charge if the coils are not aligned properly.

You could try a modify a car mount to hold a wireless charger, but you still would have the slower charging issue, withc may not really be an issue for some.

I have however seen a car mount that holds the phone and has a opening to hold a round QI charger, but wouldn't work for the N7. See here:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk....XQI+car+charger&_nkw=QI+car+charger&_sacat=0
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dannyboy22:
What I'm thinking is, taking the back of a slide-in type cover and hardwiring the wireless charger behind it. A slide in type cover should minimize any movement/alignment issues.

Then affixing the entire assembly over my existing NAV screen in the dash with the wireless charger hardwired to the car.

Then, I can slide in/slide out the Nexus as desired, and not have to worry about fiddling around with the Micro USB connector.

I'm not concerned about charging efficiency, more about maintaining power. A 2A charger at 60% efficiency should provide me the 1.35A that the Nexus 7 needs. When needed I can remove it and fully charge it.

Mate, threads about which rom is best are not really acceptable here, they are frowned on.

You have a list so now it's time to read each chosen thread carefully and make a choice. Then try the next one. There is a thread around that maintains user votes of their favourite rom, reference that too.
