Maybe I don't understand? If you hold the power button yes your phone will turn off, if you just press it briefly and it turns off then yes that's an issue.

No, if you hold the power button your phone will ask you if you want to Reboot, Turn off, Silent mode, Airplane mode.. etc
mine just turn off immediately.

Hi
I've just updated my x10mini using SEUS and I had app2sd.

Thanks for your answer. But do you know if I turn my phone off this way and then conect to SEUS to reflash it again it will bring it back to live?
Because I didn't do anything wrong when I was updating my phone, I believe it happened because I had app2sd and deleted some native apps.
Thanks

Dude this things turn ur phone Off as well as when you use SEUS atleast u can reflash your ROM.....!!!!
Do sum steps as following to reflash Correctly-:
Don't plug the USB.....pls follow the STEPS!!!
1. Turn your phone off using this method.
2. Start SEUS on your PC.
3. Choose your phone model(x10 mini/pro),--> Next-->When it shows instructions press the back button and hold...while holding it,plug the USB to your dead phone and hold it till it shows stable green light and the process will be started.....
4. And OMG your ROM is now Reflashed....
Enjoy.....!!!!!
Thanks for your attention. My problem is now solved.
Unfortunately I didn't do as said in the first comment of the toppic, by pulling of the little rubber around the cammera, but as said in the other posts along the thread, by pressing menu button + on/off button + back button. It really worked.
Thanks fot sending me that thread anyway.
Have a nice day.

Dont think phone is working

Won't power on :S Not sure what to do
Service centre if no download mode no recovery mode no power on .

Make sure your battery didn't died out. Put the charger in and wait a couple of minutes. What rom did you flash?

Hi guys, I originally had my S2 on MIUI, I tried flashing it to the original stock rom but it got stuck in a boot loop
I used Odin Master Clear, pressed start on it, it did nothing and when my phone turned off it wouldn't turn on again
I can't get into download mode or anything, what should I do?
The screen stays black

Endless Bootloop

My phone is stuck in an endless bootloop. It gets to the Samsung logo, and then goes back to it after a few seconds. I am running the Eclipse ROM atm, and I can't boot into recovery either. It just hangs at the boot screen for the recovery, and reboots.

Problem found.....stuck button issue..(power)......g

Prepare the PC for a flash to stock via Odin...
Then push and hold volume down, and power...
Continue to hold until the device vibrates 3 times,(15 seconds) then release...after the third vibration....
You should now be in download mode..
Push the stock image to the device...
Then push CWM recovery again to the device via Odin...
Boot the device into recovery mode, and wipe all caches, dalvik included...and data included...
then you can reflash your backup, or a new rom....g

Uh oh.....
Okay...first things first..
Have you done a battery pull yet ? to turn off the device ?
If yes, and it boots itself back on, then you have a stuck power button..
If the device stays off, then try booting into recovery from the phone off state...g

Yes, I tried a battery pull. It boots itself back up when I put the battery in. The power button doesn't seem to be stuck though, it feels fine.

power button is stuck in the depressed position...(not good)
The device needs a button repair, unless you are feeling up to taking the device back cover off...
There are several threads on this subject, and searching is the best way to find them...
Stay in the general QA section for our device when searching, and i'll look around as well for the proper threads as reference...
It's a pretty simple fix, and we have some video assists on youtube as well i believe...
I'll post links here as i find them...g

Yep....
Been reading several threads, but no direct "how to" threads...
Also many threads on how to remove the inner cover for repair...
Unless you just want to haul it to a repair shop for a button fix.....but i'll bet it just stuck...(common issue on the note1...g
Edit: is it under any type of warranty ??

It is, but it's rooted with a custom ROM :/
Well....
thats a potential problem....if you get caught..
but if you take the phone apart yourself, warranty gone...
So you have two choices....
I would personally take the chance, and fix it myself, by a careful back cover removal. but if the device is broken, and not stuck, then you are worse off than when you started.
best choice, send it in....IMHO....g

Galaxy GT-I9100 yellow triangle/no boot.

Hi guys, I wanted to root my Galaxy S2(ICS) today but also keep the stock ROM.
I first followed a tutorial which had a Kernel download link to "jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a". After reboot the yellow triangle appeared and that was all. It didn't boot up it just simply went black screen. I have like 30 tabs open looking on how to fix this, but couldn't find a fix. (maybe I'm illiterate and that's why). So I decided to try another kernel this time Siyah-s2-v4.0.1. Still the same yellow triangle and then black screen.
What I was able to do:
Vol up + home + power and Vol down + home + power. Both of these work, and the phone is recognized in Odin.
Now for some reason it gets stuck at the yellow triangle screen, and only the vol down + home + power combo works so I can still get it in Download mode. After trying some more the Custom Binary Download went up to 4 counts.
Any help is apreciated.
Thank you,
Zeros000.
Edit: Okay I tried again, now with the newest stable Siyah kernel "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1". This time it either loops in boot or stops at the Siyah logo.
your best shoot is at flashing a stock Rom then root using another method and then use triangle away by chainfire
On ICS, ExynosAbuse.
Can you get to recovery, do a couple of wipes, first dalvik.

If u see 'Siyah' logo then u can access its recovery for sure

Yeah... I said I can't get in it because I already tried, not because I don't know how. I can hold this combination for minutes it still wont go into it.
EDIT:
Okay, I tried CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5. It failed. I tried I9100XXMS1_I9100OXAMS1_XEO, still failed. And I still can't get into recovery, just download mode. But now the yellow triangle is away.
Are you getting a pass in Odin?
If so either you're flashing the wrong ROMs for your device or you need to try other ports.

By other ports you mean USB port? Well I'll try that untill further replies.
Phone details:
GT-i9100
CSC XEO
PDA and Phone I9100XXLPB
CSC I9100OXXLP5
Under the battery it says:
GT-I9100
-I9100GSMH
Thanks.
Where are you getting the ROMs?
Try this: http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-–-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
(don't flash the pit please, just csc, pda and phone).
If Odin passes, then you're looking good.
Remember to kill kies applications and antivirus.
And yes, I was talking about USB ports.

Meanwhile I tried different port with Siyah latest version. Same result with yellowT but this time it's not looping it's just sitting at the Siyah logo. The phone only gets stuck at the YT when I try recovery mode, and then loops.
(meanwhile downloading that rom)
OMG, after the 2nd loop it started up. I hope that it was the different port because then you are a HERO :good:. I should have tried different port too, but seems the keyboard port is still better than the ones in which I plug in usb's most of the time.
Thank you again, I'll post again after it finishes and see if it's working. Btw the XEO rom I've got was downloaded from sammobile.
It asks for Sim network unlock PIN. I have Orange Romania sim in it.

Phone is stuck at lock screen, I know that it's on because I just tried the radio, then left for a minute. When I came back the radio is still on but unable to turn on screen. Also I know that reboot wont help as it happened the first time too when the sim lock came up, while I wrote the previous post, the screen normally went off. And when I tried to turn it on it didn't. After the reboot I didn't let it go off and it worked until I left. Will reboot one more time.
I looked around and this might be the problem... ooops:
This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore). Although the kernel boots CM10.1 I will not support it until I fix dualbooting.

This is on Siyah's blog, could this be the problem? Restarting... Got stuck again at the logo... Restarting... Now it works again. I wonder if the screen lock is affected by this.
EDIT: I have Jelly Bean, seems like the last ROM I used was JB, so it's not the unsuporting problem. Also someone else suggested me Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock it worked and it was a free app, but thanks. You are really helpfull.
Edit 2: Okay nevermind, for some reason it works now... It's not reasurring but it works.
Thanks all of you for the great help. I don't think that I could have done it without @gastonw and the owner of jayceooi.com webpage (from where I tried the tutorial) who replied to my questions under minutes.
If anything happens again I'll know where to find people who want to help.
You can find galaxysim unlock for free here, at xda.
It's always good to go stock to check things out.
You only go custom if EVERYTHING seems fine.

I found YT-away free here at xda. I will get rid of that and the count number then leave it be.
I love the stock so far, but I only glimpsed for a moment at a custom one and had to close that thread... I don't want to deal with this for a while . Though some of them look awesome.
Edit: hum a big warning saying this could potentially brick my phone... ugh right now not sure if I'll even use YT-away.
Reflash stock or get mobile odin.
Mobile odin pro will get you rooted and clear that sign, only 5 bucks.

iBall Slide 3G7271 - Bricked (?) [RESOLVED]

I have used SP Flash Tool to flash a supposed JB rom (http://www.moulnisky.com/index.php?dir=Iball/Slide 3G7271/) for my slide. It resulted in the screen "Encryption Unsuccessful". So banged my head for sometime and final figured out how to flash the back up I made before (have to select the correct recovery. [email protected] oscarblue48).
Now its working fine! This is where I should have shut up and go about normally. BUT NO, the effin itch . I don't know why, but I went to 'Backup and Reset -> Factory Data Reset'. That's it. I shouldn't have done it (DAMN.) The phone kept looping between logo and recovery where the progress bar is going on. Both these screen repeat one after the another.
So again flashed the Backup but no luck this time. So I flashed the 'JB ROM' and flashed the Backup. This time its a black screen (that is lit) and can't be shutdown. Hence no way to flash anything! I pressed the power off for more then 10 secs - no, pressed all the buttons - no, removed the case - the battery is not exactly removable.
What can be done now?
Edit : I have rooted the phone with MTK droid tools just before all this.

Have you tried this? don't know if it works or not, but if you can turn off your tablet maybe you can flash your backup again.
