Phone not turning on at all. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've got mine Galaxy S2 which I was rooting, changing rom a lot of times, never had any problems.
My friend gave me his phone to do a root on it, I was doing everything like always, and when I tried to install the root and restarted, the phone it's not turning on at all anymore. Tried to take out the battery, change for another one, but nothing.
Do you think that USB JIG can help in this situation when phone is not responding at all or maybe you have another ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try to go in download mode. Home+Volume down+Power button.
If yes. Flash any Stock rom on Odin.
If you can't go to download mode. Maybe USB Jig is the solution.

Well you mest up with rom manager without any knowledge about it. AFAIK Your phone is now fully brick. You need to replace your motherboard(GOOD LUCK WITH WARRANTY )

If Flashing and Unbrick not working, what ever you do or how you try, then you probably messed up your boot ROM and it´s BRICKED. SORRY FOR YOU, but always, I MEAN ALWAYS read and search the forum 10 TIMES, before you start up messing your phone. It can very yeasely BRICKED.
I hope you can change it from service for free. Say that you trying restore to FACTORY setting(just make up some story[believable], why you was need to restore to FACTORY settings). Maybe they belive you and change your BRICKED phone to new one. Thumbs up for you and dont do anything stupid next time!!!
P1tt187, just out of curiosity - how did you even do that?
When I tried to use ROM Manager it told me to install the correct drivers, but Galaxy Ace isn't supported, so I just resigned. Which drivers did you use?
P1tt187 My friend had the same thing, he used a ROM Manager to back up the ROM in the ACE. Identical symptoms. Only the Samsung service will help. Tell him that you turned off phone and not turn on (Phone) . Samsung Service exchanged him motherboard in ACE (on guarantee).
Galaxy Ace not supported yet by ROM manager! Sorry for you but search the forum(or just GOOGLE it) before trying something first. There is always GOOGLE to helping(if you not found it here). Just USE it!
I have rooted and customized all my phones(HTC, SAMSUNG), JAILBREAKED AND UNLOCKED all my IPhones(3G and 4G), just waste some time, for GOOGLE! But you must be patient. Everything is not coming in first search(but everything is there, TAKE THE TIME and be sure for right thing).
CHEERS!
Hey,
I just have the same problem, but I didn't touch to the ROM or anything else
I just rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, turn it off and it never turn on again...
Since my phone is rooted, I don't know if the warranty is lost, but I think so...
I already tried to remove the battery and then put it back while holding ok + volume down + power, but it didn't work, the screen stays completely black...
I'll let my phone rest a few days and then send it to Orange while I pray --'
Any other idea guys ?
( sorry for my bad english...)

I'v tried to unbrick my phone, but it stucks on Odin at <1> setup connection..
I've let it run for 1 hour, but nothing changes
On the thread you gave me someone say that there is no solution for that...
What I don't understand is that I neither Flashed or tried to change the Rom of my phone, I only rooted it with SOC...
Anyway thanks for the help, I'll send it to Orange in a few days...

Of course I dont know what you exactly done or not but if its stuck in black screen and cant flash with ODIN, then I think its TOTALLY bricked. Sorry for you, hope you get it changed to new one! THUMBS UP FOR YOU!

[Q] Will not boot - flashing black screen

Received a brand new Ace yesterday, and immediately rooted it with super one click with no problems.
However I then tried to run the 'Galaxy Ace Unlock apk' which I'd found elsewhere.
It generated an unlock pin, but after rebooting it stuck on the Galaxy Ace flash screen. After 5 minutes I pulled the battery out, waited, then rebooted. Now it doesn't even get to the Galaxy Ace screen when switched on.
The screen backlight comes on (with a black screen) for a couple of seconds, then off, then on - but it never gets any further.
So far I've tried
- Flashing Stock Froyo via Odin
- Flashing VillainRom via Odin
In both cases the phone enters download mode, Odin completes all steps without error, but on reboot I am left with the black screen of death again!
Anything else I could try?
I have the same problem.
Have you found a solution?

Hey!
Dose you RESET FACTORY SETTINGS and FORMAT CACHE in recovery, before flashing with ODIN?
CHEERS!
Did the light lit when you entered the download mode? That's the indicator.
I got the same proble, tried several firmwares with odin but, when the phone reboots it starts flashing again
Hey!

Ok, I get. But SORRY, then I cant help. You must contact then, from where you downloaded it.
Just I hope you get fixed your phone(If you most take it to SERVICE, try to explain them that you tryed RESET FACTORY SETTINGS. It work for several ppl-s here, who must take his phone to SERVICE). Just be 10 times SURE, that you cant flash or recovery you phone, or they can do the same and see that your phone WAS ROOTED or FLASHED the CUSTOM ROM(JUST BE SURE, THEY CANT ACCESS YOU PHONE or you lose you WARRANTY).
I hope all ENDS good! Fingers crossed for you phone!!!

The same thing happens to me, Anybody has any idea?
Just send it to the service center.
No other recovery method is know.
I have been in every forum arond for this kinda brick and there is no solution for YOU to do. Also there is absolutely no way for Samsung to see either say that after the first boot the battery went dead and it never started again. It will be covered by your warranty and brand new ace! Now dont go making stupid mistakes again hope i helped

Apk/sim bricked my phone.
Unlock Apk also bricked my phone in the same manner.
The app generating the code is not the problem on it's own, it's when you put the "other" Sim card in and reboot that does the damage.
I got a buzz when i could still get Download Mode and Odin gave me a PASS when i reflashed, but alas the phone never rebooted and it still flashed black at me.
I'm trying everything to bring it back to life before it goes to the Service Centre and i have to give them some blag as to why it's bricked.
Other than Download Mode i can get "Emergency Dload Mode"(ARM9) & RAMDUMP.

Even Samsung don't have an easy way to repair it, hence they replace the mainboard to fix the issue.

[Q] Will Samsung know my phone was rooted?

Two days ago I stupidly flashed the resurrection remix ROM to my T989 T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII. After installing I tried to reboot and my phone never powered back on. I have tried to reset and all but the phone wont respond/vibrate/ect. The phone is completely dead. Even the computer doesn't recognize it. Today I called Samsung and played stupid about the situation. When I send it to them will they know that it is rooted?
The technics know the rooting and probably not maters to them good luck

They will know even though it wont turn on?
If you put your phone in download mode.. Flash stock firmware using Odin.. Use USB jig to reset the flash counter.. I'm guessing they won't have a clue
They will not ... As I have taken my rooted phone to them a lot of times
RuCk
FulEs!
Thanks
Thanks for all the info. I cant reset my flash counter/flash stock rom because it wont enter download mode or anything but i stilll have a good feeling they may take it.:laugh:

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 won't turn on!

Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

Tried a Jig to see if it enters Download mode?

Are you sure it's out of warranty? Samsung offers a 2 year warranty in some countries (afaik everywhere in the EU)
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin.

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
MJDdeLacerda - Take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis, unless you're experienced with this type of electronics, nothing you can do.

[Q] URGENT Trying to Root my note 3 but now my phone wont boot out of odin mode.

This is urgent because its my brothers note 3. I have my own personal Note 3 that is rooted with custom rom and works perfectly. I tried simply rooting his phone via odin but now the phone wont boot. I power cycle and the samsung logo flashes and it takes me to odin mode. in big red letters at the top of the screen it says Could not normal boot. Please help me!
Try removing the back and pulling the battery out for a few seconds. Then replace all and reboot. I've used this trick when nothing else works and see other comments where this helped with a stuck reboot.

I actually resolved the issue by downloading the latest stock rom and reflashing it. Luckily i didnt lose any data.
Not sure why the root didnt work though since it did on mine.
