Hello,
I think I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 (France)
It was working well with the official Kies ICS update.
I installed Sygic Navigation Trial app from Play Store.
Then I started Sygic. It asked me to select maps to download.
I selected some and started download.
When download reached 1800M over 2400M my phone suddenly stopped working. The screen was freezed.
There was no response either from the home key neither the power button.
I removed the battery.
Now the phone doesn't start anymore. There is nothing on the screen. No samsung logo, no battery indicator. No sound. No vibration.
Could someone please help?
I suggest you send it to samsung service center

Yes I have tried all key combinations.
The phone had just been charged all night before.

So many SIIs dying due to weird reasons recently, dafuq? Mine died twice already! First time was fixed with a free new battery from sammy but now its dead again...... same reason i think. I let the battery run from 100% to 0% and now its dead Battery dont wanna charge no boot no screens no vibrations... Something is wrong in there...
I still cannot power on my sgs2.
What I have noticed is that when I let the battery in the phone, 10 min after I can feel some heat like if the CPU is working at 800mhz.
I think that the phone is endlessly trying to boot, but resets even before reaching the first samsung logo.
My fear is that the mmc chip is corrupted. I heard there was bugs in the emmc firmware with the wear leveling.

Hi
Today I rebooted my Samsung Galaxy S 2 and for some reason it is not working anymore.
No idea why this has happened
I tried everything Recovery Mode - Cant get into
Download Mode I cant get into
Tried removing the battery then putting it back in still nothing at all
On the back I can feel the phone is getting warm but nothing on the screen
It was working fine yesterday and I havent done anything to the phone yesterday
Please help if you know anything?
Thanks
Sounds like a hardware fail. I hate to say it but it sounds like returning it is the option.

Did you have any update fails recently? Update fails were the reason some Galaxy S phones would not turn on.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
No.
It has the latest software so there wasn't a need for update
It was working fine for the first hour this morning and then I rebooted my phone because it froze but now won't turn on at all.
Should of backed up my data!
The device gets warm but nothing on the screen tried everything that is available on this forum.
Do I have to pay for this if it's faulty I only had it about a month now I think?
When plugged in on the usb charger, if you toggle the volume rocker will the display turn on and show the battery level?

Any solution yet?
I ordered a JIG, however I don't know if it helps in case the bootloader is dead

Were you overclocking?If yes,how much?Maybe you fried something.
Also,if yes,I'm reading about the state of my phone a month from now!

First I'll try a JIG - if it arrives on time... (desperately need the phone in 5 days)
fjosef871: have you tried a JIG to get into download mode?
My aunt is using this phone. She told me that her phone will have a sudden shutdown about 2-3 times a day and will get very hot when she woke up in the morning.
Since she does not know anything advanced, she is using the stock rom came with the Ace since day one and i have not done any modifications to it.
Any idea why?

Maybe reflashing the phone to the latest firmware can resolve this issue.

Wifi settings...
In detailed WIFI settings set sleep mode as: never. For me is work.
is your Aunt that techie of a person? if not she's probably leaving a lot of things running in background, maybe Wifi left on, GPS on, 3G connection active etc. that could lead to CPU being busy causing the heat-ups and auto-shutdown (this is actually a safety feature to avoid damaging your processor)
Maybe she closes apps with home button

I find it heats up when charging if i'm using it. But not too bad. As phones get more like laptops i assume we will get the same issues.

It started turning itself off when i first got it.. so I thought i would upgrade to ICS and root the device; all went well with that. But i am still experiencing random shutdowns, and then i will boot it up and try to continue what i was doing and it turns off again.. sometimes it goes hours without happening.. happens a lot while browser or youtube app is running..any ideas guys?

It just ShutsDown, and then I have to hold the power button to turn it back on.
It acts as if the battery is dead, but it does this no matter what the battery charge % is at.
Any ideas?

are you running a stock rom? or a custom one? rooted or not? and which version, ICS or HC?
do you use a simcard on the tablet?
if rooted, what are the root apps you are using?
details please
Im running ICS provided by Huawei website, and rooted via info provided on xda forums. Im running superuser and autoproxy software. I dont think this has anything to do with it though as it was also shutting down randomly before firmware update and root. I thought maybe updating firware would fix the issue, but it didnt. It seems like its being shut down like there is no battery, so something is sending the power control settings bad information..just a guess though.

hey,
i too have this problem, still do not know why it happen.
mine is running stock software HC 3.2
that was random restart. it happen to me with HC and ICS. but when on HC i must press n hold the power button twice to turn on again. but on ICS it restarts itself.
i think that was radio GSM problems. if i run with wifi it works fine. no random restarting.
This problems happened for me too. But in the last month there was no more switching off .
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using xda app-developers app
today it startrd happening to me too...how to solve this problem? it works fine if I boot it without sim card or with charger plugged in
I found that it occurs when tab is connecting to 2G network. I tried to google that problem and I found many threads on many forums mostly HTC sensation related (same CPU - msm8260 as in our mediapad). If I switch network modeto WCDMA only, tab no more shuts down, but every restart switches network mode back to WCDMA preferred, how to force it to use WCDMA only all the time? or how I can solve self shutting down? I lost warranty card so I don't have warranty anymore.
Having the same problem and there isn't a service center here.
you need to replace battery....I replaced mine and it doesn't shutdown anymore.
My tab keeps randomly restarting itself, how do I solve this problem
Mine too!
Hi guys, my galaxy s3 international i9300 just bricked today. I've been running phenomenal 4.0 extreme with ARHD 11.0 for a couple of weeks.
Phenomenal Extreme:
cpu arm : -125mv to all freq
cpu internal: -50mv to all freq
bus: -100mv to all freq
gpu: -100mv to all freq
It turned off all of a sudden and I can't turn it back on. Can't enter download mode or recovery either. The screen simply does not turn on. LED indicators don't turn on either.
Tried a USB Jig (that works on my old galaxy S1) and it doesn't work either. Phone remains dead. What can I do?
I intend to claim for warranty if all else fails, but it's already been flashed on a custom rom and I can't reset the flash counter.
If the screen doesn't turn on at all, you can try a new battery
The battery was at 90+% when the phone died. Happened this morning an hour after I unplugged it...
Unfortunately I don't have a spare battery with me. Now I'm back home again and I plugged it in. It seems to be charging (the battery has heated up). Will try the jig again after an hour of charging.
I wish I could help you buddy, does your PC recognise your device?? If so try booting into download via adb. If not then the service centre is your only option. It shouldn't matter whether its been modified or not because if its not turning on Samsung will just wipe and flash it, they only tend to check the status of the device if hardware is messing up. Or you could try taking the battery out and leaving it out for a few mins then put it back in

Just tried - PC does not detect the phone. Well, seems like I need to head to the service centre then. In this case though, isn't my phone hardware messing up? I can't even turn it on.
I must admit I never knew undervolting could screw up the phone.

The phone doesn't need anything like that in my opinion, I only go as far as rooting and flashing....no CPU overclocking or GPU undervolting. By phone hardware I meant the screen, battery, volume buttons, modem etc, it seems you have messed up internals I.e processor or gpu . Head to the service centre buddy. Sorry I can't be more help.

Hey. I installed the kernel without doing any other modifications.
galaxy s3 turn to zombie mode
i flash my galaxy s3 with phenomenal kernel after one day working and overclocking gpu at first the sound of GS3 runs with glitching and badly noise turn off s3 and turn it on again but when gs3 goes boot up no sound at all after 4th or 5th resets at bootup my cell shows vertical lines and pink background and freeze
and the cell compeltly dead and no respond to power or downloading or recovery mod or power charging amaing things at this situation when i warming may cell , phones power on with sound and overclocked to 1704mhz and 6890 quadrant score and when cell going to cold back to freezing sound glitching and back completly to dead iam so confused with this galaxy s3
flashed with stock with pit file and without pitfile
flashing with bootloader but no success
Hey, don't think your situation is the same as mine. I did not overclock or in any way modify the kernel settings after installing phenomenal 4.0. My phone is currently with the service centre and I will report back when I find out if the warranty claim is successful.
The service center personnel outright told me that rooting will void the warranty and I still have no idea if it is possible for them to check if I indeed had flashed my S3. I did not reset the flash counter before it completely went unresponsive on me.
Fingers crossed that the warranty claim will be successful...
ill sent my cell to warraty but reject me becuase my phone was rooted and told me we can replace your damaged board with new board but u must pay 500$ :0
at the end of this story i boaught another GS3
last week i gift new galaxy s3 to my wife and bought galaxy note2 ang galaxy note 10.1
but damaged galaxy s3 stay with me some days warmed and tunred on automatically and i hear bootup sound
I got the exact situation as yours. But i installed Wanam.
My phone bricked just 30 minutes after flash.
I was clueless. But after i did some googling & reading forums, now i know.
It was my mistake.
I checked the md5, and it clearly stated as "Unmatched", yet i flashed it anyway.
The ROM booted fine. Installed TiBu, and proceed to restore apps.
So, 30 mins after flashing, my phone died.
Now my phone's at Samsung Service Centre. Expected to finish repair in 2 days.

So I got my phone yesterday. It was running on 4.1.1 iirc(not sure, it was a version of JB though), device told me it needed an update but I didn't have the time to update.
Now today, as I'm returning home I'm playing a game when the phone gets really hot. Now I don't mean normal warm, almost unbearable to touch the bottom third of the phone for longer than a couple of seconds.
I closed all the apps and let the phone rest to cool down. Couple minutes later I want to turn the screen on to check the time and it just doesn't respond. I remove the battery, try turning it back on, no response.
I tried charging it, thinking the battery might have suddenly died(even though it was at 20%) but the red charging light doesn't even show up. I'm not sure whether it's the sudden death issue or something else.
Will I be able to fix this by myself, or will I have to get the phone to a service center? I just got it so naturally I don't want to lose it, but I've read that even a usb jib won't get a device like this in download mode.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Phone is normal international version, I didn't root, using stock rom. Basically I didn't do anything except install apps and set up some accounts. The phone doesn't react to the vol down+menu+power combination, no matter in which order I hold the buttons.
Sudden death, Samsung will change the motherboard for free
Thanks. Any idea on how long it might take to get the phone back? Will I have to bring it to the store where I got it(not a Samsung service center) or send it to Samsung?
Take it to store. The repair should last a few weeks or so.
