Galaxy S2 won't boot passed the 'S' start screen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My phone has just presented with the above problem. When I switch it on it won't boot passed the start up screen with the big 'S' and 'Samsung Galaxy S II' below it.
Can anyone offer a reason why this might have happened and more importantly a solution?
Many thanks

Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

if you tried to flash a custom rom or kernel and i suppose that something gone wrong and the phone bootlooped/bricked.try to flash another rom or go back to stock rom.
Thank me If I helped

Seems you have installed a custom rom without paying attention to the process... Do you have Cwm recovery??

Flashing back to vodafone stock rom from resurrection v.9.2

Hello guys,
I must admit I am an absolute noob a bit out of my depth and panicking a little bit now. I successfully rooted and flashed my phone with a custom rom, the resurrection ics v9.2 however I wanted to go back to stock vodafone rom. So i downloaded BUKE1 vodafone firmware and flashed it using ODIN. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop with the galaxy S II logo repeatedly appearing. I have just left it as is as I am now too scared to do anything :/
Any advice on what I can do? I know you guys have been over this a million times but I am freaking out.
I have read the boot loop thread above and it says to flash a stock rom using odin but that is what I had already done...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try wiping all possible things in recovery.
And don't worry, atleast some1 pro will help you to get your phone to boot, also can you get to recovery and download mode

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I can get to recovery mode definitely. I just went in and wiped user data / factory reset option. Do you think I should try flashing a different stock vodafone rom?
Ok after wiping user data it now appears to be fine. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
it is recommended that you wipe everything after flashing in order to avoid boot loops or similar errors
glad it worked out for ya

Bricked, flashing stock rom doesn't work

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've tried searching the forums and using different methods to recover it, but none have worked so far.
SO I flashed the ICS Domination theme over Diet ICS rom, stuff was continuously force closing, so I factory wiped with the intention of re-flashing just the rom... after a reset the phone was stuck on the samsung boot screen.
I've tried using Odin to load the stock Rogers rom, it says it worked, but trying to boot the phone up its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
Am I missing something? Is there anything you guys can suggest I try??
EDIT: Oops, wrong forum, meant to put this in the AT&T forum
Snap my phone is stuck on samsung screen for awhile now, it's not doing anything at all
Wipe everything in recovery and flash a rom from either recovery or odin..

[Q] Jellybean Softbrick help!

Hi,
After some assistance if possible.
I have the international version of GS2. Purchased in the UK.
Yesterday flashed the new Jellybean ROM through ODIN as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113088
Worked fine for one day then phone froze this morning. Did a battery pull and on reboot stayed on the Samsung logo. Rebooted many times but still stuck at the same point. Reflashed the Rom through ODIN again but still stuck at Samsung logo.
I can access download mode, but not any kind of recovery.
From reading on here, I think the NAND(?) may be corrupted, but not sure, leading to the soft brick. Can anyone advise what I need to flash to get the phone up and running again?
Any help appreciated.

Try flashing a kernel like siyah or Dorimanx in download mood. Then reboot into recovery and flash a JB custom rom
That did it. Thanks.

Same issue here. Had been running CM9 for long time then tried a new rom, which I cant even remember what it is because after it bricked I put it down for 3 months but I believe it was a Jelly Bean ROM maybe even CM10. Just loops the boot animation. Been awhile since I was mucking with this stuff any help is appreciated. I used to always flash new roms and boot loaders but cm9 worked so good for so long I forgot some of the procedures. I believe the problem was a jelly bean rom on a 4.0 kernel or bootloader if that helps. Any links are appreciated.

Have you tried a factory reset in recovery?
If you can boot to Recovery mode, and you have a working ROM on your sdcard, you can just flash the ROM. but ensure you format/factory reset, wipe cache as well as dalvic before flashing the new ROM and after the flashing you need to wipe cache and dalvic again before rebooting. If, on the other hand you cannot boot to Recovery, try booting to Download mode and Odin ICS on the device and it should start if the problem is only bootlooping and nothing more serious.
Cheers.

[q] help!! S5 stuck at white t-mobile screen

My T-mobile galaxy 5s is stuck at the boot screen. I am rooted with a stock rom, xposed framework, and right after I installed the force LTE only module and rebooted it wont boot in anymore. PLEASE HELP! I didn't have a custom recovery flashed(yes I am aware that I am a retard for not flashing one) Any ideas, please help.
Flash back to stock with Odin and start over? Not much you can do since you don't have a custom recovery...

Ditto other than seeing if recovery will load either and trying a master reset.
Probably will need to Odin though
All hail the mighty 0din
Odin! Learn it, love it, live it! ;->
