Or C clean your usb port.

Or D) provide some more info on what method you use to shutdown, what rom and kernel you have, is CWM installed, etc.
In the CWM app you can chose what method to use for rebooting, f.e. into recovery or in download mode.

Hold on, so your friends battery works, but yours doesn't? Just buy a new battery, for gods sake. Thinking it was an internal error. Use your friends battery, unroot your phone or whatever you want to do...

[Q] Stuck at boot screen at first and now it isn't charging..

I got some problems with my gt i9100.. So i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4 on my phone and then everything went wrong.. I tried everything there is but the only thing I can flash is kernels.. When I try to flash a firmware or a rom odin fails (Can't seem to write on NAND). Also I can't access recovery.. I just get the samsung logo with the triangle below. And now after 2 days of constant trying different methods im low on battery and can't access download mode and if I plug in the charger it keeps flashing an empty battery with a circle in it with a 1 min interval.. Can someone please provide me with some advice?
What exactly did you do? Or you really screwed up which is almost impossible or you just have had bad luck.
Did you try pulling the battery out, pressing the on button for a few seconds and then putting your battery back in? Sometimes it helps when you have charging problems.
So try and give us more information about everything that you did.

Tried that with the battery but it didn't help.. Ever since I flashed the kernel it wouldn't charge.. Jje there's nothing on this thread that could help me with the charging problem and besides that I can't access recovery and can't seem to find villain 1.1 anywhere..

You have no recovery and no download mode correct ???
Charge battery .
Buy USB jig and try that to get download mode .
That fails its a service centre job and be aware that the warranty on the phone has been invalidated so you may be charged for the repair .

From what I understand if in fact your bootloader is corrupt there is a JTAG method for recovery but requires opening the handset itself. Same thing happend to me and im having to get it send in. There are a few places that do it for cheap in the states.

Regarding this method of JTAG, here is a list of dealers that do repair phones via JTAG:
Samsung Boot / Jtag / UnBrick / Dead Phone / Software Repair Dealers

It's not a hard brick -_- if your phone shows any kind of activity, be it even battery charging animation when it's off.
Try to get a USB Jig, that'll take you to download mode and then flash anything via Odin.
if it is a Hard brick JTAG could be helpful. Also try to contact AdamOutler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236273 He is develpoing a SDCard Recovery for hardbrick devices.
He need a device for it, and if he get it in time it will help you.
No .. my phone didn't show any kind of activity
no light .. no charging animation .. nothing at all
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/explaining-and-advancing-the-unbrickable-mod/
Hard Brick-The device is unresponsive and will not enumerate USB, a hardware based solution is the only method which will recover this type of brick
Soft Brick -The device shows something on the screen or possibly nothing at all, firmware download is possible because this is a “Download Mode”.
UnBrickable-The device has been modified to accept a debug-mode flash which cannot be altered.
Lucky Brick- The device ends up in UnBrickable debug mode and the Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector can be used without a hardware modification to resurrect the device.

^ oK , good
any help ?
What kind of help are you expecting ? Tho it's obviously not what you want to hear, it doesn't sound like it's a firmware issue that might mean it's (relatively) easily fixable.
If its under warranty, send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer & hope they don't care or don't notice you've been running non-stock firmware on the phone. You never know, they might fix it under warranty. If they won't, then you can look at having it JTAG'd or repaired locally by a 3rd party repairer given that will probably be cheaper than having Samsung/authorised repairer fix it if they do decide to charge you.
Anything anyone here tells you to try is just delaying having your phone fixed/depriving you of your phone for as long as you delay having it fixed.
i mean i need to make sure there still a hope !
based on a previews experience .. anyone saw this problem before ?
also it's the first time to know about the Hard brick
based on what i said , is my phone having a hard brick ?
so , it will be a software problem or something like that ?
Try this ^^ CLICKY
can't hurt by sounds of things :good: :fingers-crossed:
The repairing shop told me that the mother board burned !

[Q] S2 Sudden Death ?? Help !!!

I was talking in my S2 yesterday and i got many online calls at once , as a result the phone just froze and it auto restarted itself afta a few min...
Then again when i was talking via Viber the same thing happened it just Froze up on me , this time it wasn't rebooting so i unplugged the battery & put it back in again.So after that it turns on , i see the Samsung logo then again it shuts down...Then i press the power button once again to turn it ON but with out luck....Now it does not show anything ,nothing comes up on the screen .Total Blank ....i tried removing the battery again & putting it back then turning it on , but now there is no response, nothing .....Not even Samsung logo ......i tried going into Recovery Mode or Download Mode but with out luck...Nothing Happens !!!........It's like it's DEAD !!! :crying:.....I tried charging the battery but nothing shows on the screen not even the battery charging animation....i have 2 batteries so i have charge ,i tried with both ....
Additional Information : my phone was on Stock JB 4.1.2 ....
Please guyz help me if you know something about this situation or is it a Hardware failure ? Can it be Fixable or do i need to take it to Service Center ???
Humbly waiting for your response ........
Service centre; tho advanced search King_Rat's threads for his hotboot method that involves trying to 'jump start' the phone with just the charger/minus the battery. Probably won't work, but you might as well try it.

[Q] Bootloop , even use red small button , and flashing.

Hi.
I have a problem with my phone. When i put my phone in my bag , suddenly my phone bootloop it self. So , i wait until the battery runs out.
When i charge it , it keep bootloop it self even i press the red small button near sim card. So i won't charge it full and let the battery runs out.
I already flash with three different ROM , its S119 ROW , S123 ROW , S124 ROW. I also try Frimware -> Upgrade and Download.
When i flash it , it won't on restart it self after i finish flashing. So i press the red small button again after flashing , but its keep bootlooping.
And i also try charge it again after flashing , but it keep bootlooping when charging. I also can't enter meta-mode , recovery mode and else.
Maybe its hardware problem? i am using MIUI room before it bootloop. But everything runs fine
How to fix it ?
PS : Sorry for my bad english :3

Be wise and go with your phone in to a service store . From what you described to us this could be a hardware problem.
