I got my Galaxy S II about 3 days ago and love it. Apart from some annoyances (I'm looking at you Touchwiz) no problems... installed Launcherpro and here we go
Today I woke up and bam. Flight mode.
Factory reset
Wipe USB storage and SD card
Wipe cache from recovery (stock recovery)
No change.
So now I have a very fancy Samsung Galaxy II Player. I called tech support and they asked me to try another sim (which I had done) then told me to clear the cache (which I had done) blah blah... then they ended up telling me to send it back to Amazon as faulty.
Great, just great.
Anyone else had this problem?
Nope, haven't had this.

I'm wondering... if I flashed an update.zip from stock recovery if the issue might go away... it's clearly software.
Just need to find an update.zip file....
Also something quirky is happening with regards to lock screens. Had unlock pattern enabled and then switched off however it still remains on but only needs a press on the screen to unlock.
Personally wouldn't try flashing if it's being funky. Last thing you want is to get stuck with non standard firmware if you still need to return it.

I have the same problem with the phone that I bought today (a problem I noticed after 15 minutes of purchase). Tomorrow I bring it to a Samsung service center to confirm it as DOA so I can do the replacement for the operator ... I am disappointed that I was wasting my time on these things ...
p.s after I try code *2767*3855# a have no problems for last hour...
today i have problems again and I replace my galaxy...I hav new one without any problems...
I have a somewhat similar problem.
My Galaxy S II randomly goes into flight mode every now and then. It's not a permanent thing like what you guys experience, but it is an annoyance.
Couple that with the "wifi sharing" bug and I think we can say that Samsung has some faulty radio firmware in the Galaxy S II.

could it be efs partition corruption?
It probably is /efs corruption. How do I recover it ?
Posting on behalf of my brother..
He to has this problem. Nothing we do fix's this resetting to factory defaults changing sim card formatting memory card..
Since it's done this.. it uses the battery from a full charge to near empty within ~5 hours
Bought 29th Aug 2011
They wont honor the warranty even though it broke down at only 2 months old.

Have you gone through Samsung directly? (Register on their website and request a repair).
I had this problem just now. Couldn't get it out of flight mode. Saying no sim etc...
The way I fixed it was to remove the sim and battery, replace them, turn the phone back on, the hold the power button to bring up the power options and press turn off flight mode. It now works again.
Not good that after I googled this problem it seems to be quite common.

I have this issue too, bloody annoying. I did a kernal update and I hope that fixes it. But will give your method ago.

I had an interesting problem. My phone sometime stuck on flight mode. I had to restart device 4-5 times to disable flight mode(flight mode menu becomes transparent or untouchable). After a while button becomes enable and phone starts normally. But it's annoying problem.
Now I'm using Lite'ning Rom v1.1 XXLPH. Even in stock LPH,LPB, KK5 2.3.6.... every firmware I had same problems occasionally.
What's the problem? There is nothing wrong with IMEI (but I can't see IMEI in flight mode).
go in it recovery and clear data and then go to fix permissions

So is there a simple solution for this anoying problem, or it cames back every time ?
With Android 4.0 or 4.1 is the same?
I need to know as I am thinking of buying one that as this problem, at a good price.
Should i buy it?

Have you tried to reflash with kies?
I believe there is a recover option there? Atleast that wont get your waranty voided.
Never actually tried it since i only use heimdall & odin but might be worth a try!

Any layman ideas?
Yep. You're in the wrong forum, this in for I9100/variants.

I was following the phone unlocking guide in a sub-forum got my unlock code, powered off, inserted a different sim, powered on. I didn't get a request for a code; phone started up fine except no network access. I got a message a short while after something like android.phone stopped working.
Turned the phone off, put original sim back in and turned the phone on. All the phone will do is flicker the backlight every couple of seconds. 3-button recovery will take me to "Downloading..." and sit there. Flashing to Gingerbread using Odin will get to the RESET and phone will power off and phone will sit there screen flashing as before.
Anything I can do to resolve this?

Hey!
Firstly: For me worked(not in unlock, but in some other cases, where other soft fails) the STOCK ..XXKC1. Try to flash it. Dose you put you phone in to "Download" mode for Odin?
Where you get that UNLOCK? From here?
These are the questions, what I want answers. Maybe after that I can say surely.

I was following the guide [TUTORIAL]How to Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy Ace Via ADB. Phone didn't ask for unlock code when I put a Vodafone sim in my o2-locked Ace. Shortly after putting the Vodafone sim in it said something like Android.phone force closed.
I can flash any firmware but so far the phone will not boot. The screen will just flash after flashing firmware and I can put it in Downloading recovery but nothing else happens so far.
Could it be something to do with the phone storage being screwed up? I followed the tutorial word for word and got my code and everything.

Hi mate. Thanks for dropping in. I cannot enter recovery; the phone just does what happens in the OP - it just flashes. I can only enter 3-button recovery. So far I've tried 5 different firmware 2 Froyo (inc stock) and 3 different Gingerbreads found droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html. Will try a custom firmware but otherwise will try and take the phone back to o2 tomorrow.

Hey!
Dont take it back to SERVICE, before you not get flashed back to STOCK firmware or they can MAYBE, see that you not in stock firmware. Just saying it, that you DONT get in to trouble, with warranty.
CHEERS!
Yeah too it into o2 this morning. Luckily the dipshits that work there don't know anything. He just plugged it into his laptop and ran Kies. It's being sent off though. Hopefully will be sorted in warranty for free
Hello,
To solve this problem, did you activate the warranty?
I have the same problem, none of the existing ROM work, or find another solution?
I appreciate the help,

Yeah; I sent it back for warranty. They replaced the main PCB.
Can we unlock locked SGA? ?
XDA Rocks!
I punched in this code: *#*#2663#*#* to update the firmware for my touch-screen and touch-key.
When I hit "Touch Key FW update" it updated really fast and everything was great!
When I hit "TSO FW update" is said "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" And it STAYED THERE FROZEN...
It said "Do not turn off!" So I left it until the battery died!
Then I plugged it in to charge it, and now the back button and menu button BOTH don't work at all! I tried two more times to "TSP FW Update" but it's totally permenantly frozen!
I tried flashing the stock firmware!
I can't get to the menu to do "factory reset!"
What do I do??
Have you tried using a USB jig and reloading firmware using Odin?

I have completely reloaded the firmware twice since then from a stock rom. I used Odin for it. My operating system works fine, generally, but the menu and back keys will not work.
But, are you saying that I can use Odin to specifically reload the TSP firmware? Because I haven't done that. If that's what you're saying, do you know where I can get TSP firmware?

Never heard of that and you dont need a uSB jig anyway as you are loading firmware ok .
I would download correct stock firmware .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero if rooted or custom roms used ..
Return to service centre .

Hi,
So this issue has been fixed??
Hi all. Well... It happened to me too. I followed an advice to remove 4.3 lag by updating this, and lost all touch.
The screen won't even turn on now, but I know the phone is powered up because when I plug in a usb cable I get the windows popup.
Wow this sucks so much and I'd like to ask for any advice if there's a fix for this. I'll try to check if I can enter recovery and reflash the rom, but I think all my buttons are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Update: after maybe an hour it came back to life. I had good battery so I guess it was downloading/updating stuff, during which I had no control of the phone.
As far as the experience enjoyment, I give it a 2/10, would not do again.
So it was in that "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" mode for a hour and after that all was normal again? Is the wakeup problem solved with that?

Hi there pattmayne and particularly anyone still getting mileage from their GT-I9000M,
I had this issue with Galaxy S Vibrant (North America) - GT-I9000M (the M is significant). I thought I would explore the *#2663# option and hey, why not update everything while I am there. I lost the use of my Menu and Back soft buttons and no amount of flashing or factory resetting seemed to help.
I found a promising solution on an obscure board (to me : forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2181386) as follows :
- Run the TSP FW update,
- Although it may appear to be stuck, wait a good number of minutes to be sure it has done what it needs to do,
- Interrupt the « update » specifically by removing the battery,
- [wait a few seconds for memory to discharge],
- Insert the battery, start up again, and run the other update, TS FW,
- Voila !
In order to access the special code, I had to flash back to stock and for some reason, I decided to flash back to Froyo instead of Gingerbread. The result being that from 2.2-Froyo, the TSP FW update actually worked, so I did not have to bother with pulling the battery. I am very happy to have my phone back in one piece !
I much prefer Heimdall over Odin, however I did have to do some research to find a decent Heimdall tutorial.
You should be able to find the stock files for Froyo by searching for GT_I9000M_UGJK3_UGJK3_BMCJK3.
If you can't, ping me and I will get around to providing a full write-up on how to mod your GT-I9000M (with many thanks to those that have gone before me).

what could be the problem? i am an international user and bought the s2 from unlocked-mobile.com.
kindly note that i made no tweaking nor any custom firmware nor installed any new software. i only reecntly removed go launccher.

Hey guys,
I have a galaxy s3 (I9300) and I've had it rooted for some time now. I started using CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies a few months ago and they've mostly been fine. The odd issue comes up but I've been able to work it out. So, a few hours ago my phone just turned off of its own accord and started to bootloop, but on the "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300" screen, not the CyanogenMod screen (to clarify, this screen comes up first then the cyanogenmod one usually). I've tried booting into recovery (CWM 6) but it just shows the CWM boot logo thing (that cog with the hat) and then loops back to the galaxy s3 page. I've also tried putting it in download mode, and it seems to stay on the warning page longer than it does anywhere else, but it wont let me actually put in it download mode from there.
I had a look around google and saw people have had the same problem, but everything I could find was when people had flashed a new rom/kernel etc. and something had gone wrong in the process. The weird thing about mine is that I haven't changed anything, even downloaded any new apps, for maybe a week, so it's not like something suddenly changed. I also wasn't using it when it started, it was just sitting on the table next to me.
Usually I can work these things out, but I'm stumped here. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Nope, if I press the volume up button to go into it, it just goes back to the bootloop. I'll try the battery thing though, thanks!
Nope, it didnt work, I left it out for maybe half an hour and nothings changed :/ anyone else got any ideas?
SDS thread and BootLoop identical questions posted .
What does Product Code say in download mode .
But if you cannot get to download mode then you need a service centre repair .
looks like u are facing SDA but a bit diffrend than a normal SDS.. mine still can go into download mode with blank product name..
If product name is blank in download mode then you got sudden death, consider a phone as a brick. Nothing will help, including repartitioning.
You need to contact service centre.
I'll check it in a minute, but if it is bricked, will any service center actually help me seeing as it's rooted and all?

AFAIK if it's sudden death then it's not possible to detect root and other modified things, or in other words - nobody has money to prove that you have been using unofficial firmware .

In terms of a service centre, will samsung have a list of them somewhere so I can find one near me?
So I contacted samsung and they gave me the link to book into a service centre etc, but I just realised that when I try to go into recovery mode, the CWM recovery logo comes up before going back to bootloop. Is there any way to get rid of that so that my root is completely untraceable?

If you can't flash anything with Odin (stock software) then you're screwed. Eventually you can try to enter recovery and flash "eraser" of recovery, but this requires working recovery... So if you actually can enter recovery then you can also flash anything, which will literally delete everything.
In other case, no, no way. But if you're lucky enough you may break it just by leaving your phone on for some hours in bootloop, haha.

To be honest think twice before physically crashing your internal memory, as it may void your warranty at all.
I'd try flashing stock firmware through odin, if it doesn't work I'd try flashing anything through recovery. If both of these methods fail just leave your phone in bootloop and hope that it'll automatically destroy everything... :laugh:
Seriously though, you can either physically destroy internal memory or leave it in bootloop and hope for the best, eventually send them device in current status. Up to you, because you won't have a possibility to do anything else.

my samsung galaxy note i717 will boot up stay on for 1 or 2 minutes then reboot and do this over and over again. ive searched the forums ive been to att store and called samsung support and nobody knows why or how to fix. my phone is no longer under warranty. i have bought a new battery, and restored it in kies with no luck. i can get into download mode and recovery mode and phone works fine and will stay on till battery dies. these are the only 2 modes that work. a regular boot will not stay on. has anyone ever had/heard of this problem?

Sounds to me as if you have tried almost everything.
Sounds odd that it would stay on in download mode and be the usual sticky power button issue, but we are persuing all avenues right?
Give your phone a couple good flicks to the back of the phone in case its the power button. It may be clicking as if no problem, but that doesnt mean anything.
Give it a shot and boot it up.

Fixed problem by flashin 4.0.4 update zip through odin. Thanks.
Edit - 4.0.4 works but wont read sim. Went back to kies to update to 4.1.2 and reboots started again. Not sure what the problem is
Maybe go back to odin, and install a stock .tar file image for the i717. Not just an update.
This video at YouTube shows how to do it with download links for all the files necessary. .tar files too.
