i have tried to go these places but useless.. they only know how to replace the motherboard , they won't help us to deal with the back up issue
You can't solve that issue. It's not possible. The only people who might be able to (and this is probably a 1 in 1000 chance) is a company who specialises in data recovery from dead hard drives, and even that is very unlikely.
do others have methods to help me??
No.
i want to know what 's wrong with my phone....:crying:
when i try to turn on, i feel that the phone is still a bit warm... it's working right??
Something on the motherboard has crapped itself. No, the opposite. Having the phone warm up near the camera is symptomatic of every single case like this we see/have seen on here in 2.5 yrs. You're not fixing it yourself unless you replace the motherboard yourself, and you're not recovering your data regardless of what you or anyone else does.
Now, you can sit here for 4 days, a week, two weeks, a month in denial & maybe have people tell you to try things that might build your hopes up but have absolutely no chance of working, or you can bite the bullet & have the phone repaired or buy a new phone.
The choice is yours.

Take your phone to local mobile repair shop ... asks for checking short circuit for battery , and Two power IC's .. one located near camera and other lower Right..
ask him to check if something is wrong on both these..
if it does... asks for POWER IC replacement or Motherboard replacement..
If at last nothing works and you are finally going to replace your motherboard anyway
do this thing or ask a technician to do this.. may be it'll work:

hi i've sent my sgs2 to repair because it's dead (here explanationhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130440)
samsung says not defect(working properly)
repair center tell me: I have just chased your handset up with samsung and unfortunately your handset is not powering up due to a broken screen, we can get this fixed for you but will cost £100+VAT, would you like us to go ahead with the repair??
i can't undestand why i have to pay for repair my screen's phone if it is faulty and don't work anymore, i didn't do nothing never rooted never do nothing.
Anyone can't confirm me if the problem's explanation can be resolved with a screen replace?
thank in advance

Well the warranty in some places is only 12months...
Also, did you purchase the phone first hand..??
Can the you get the phone into download mode or recovery mode..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290..???
Its very strange...get it checked at some local mobile expert who knows his stuff...
if he too says its screen problem...then whether you did anything or not to spoil it, its really not going to matter to samsung...you'll just need to pay up and replace screen..
Press Thanx if i helped..

I bought the phone from a physical store, the phone is still in warranty, i can't get the phone into download or recovery pc can't see nothing (and because of this i don't think the screen is the problem) if the problem is only the screen i have to see my phone when pugged on the pc don't you think?
Well i think that if i buy a phone and after a year the screen don't work anymore is a samsung problem not mine.

i want only to know if it's possible that a faulty screen compromise all the phone, so my pc can't see the phone in any way, vibration don't work audio don't work...if it work properly without screen these things have to work
Hello i own a SGS2 for about a year and it suddenly does not work anymore after i put out the battery while it crashed
i did not try 2 flash this phone or anything ever
it wont go to recovery mode or download mode
and wont turn on
its a dead body
i tried 2 use jig and it doesnt respond to it
my question is, should i try to replace its motherboard?
i mean is there a chance this will work?
or should i just take it to repair centre for jtag or whatever they would do there..?
the thing is the repair centre are asking for 200$
while i can buy and replace the mother board myself for about 10$
so what do u suggust?
btw it acts like hard brick, wont even show the screen when charging the phone
and the camera is getting hot when i do that
If you're confident enough to do it, yeah, replace it yourself. Or if you're not, you could always get buy the secondhand motherboard & pay a local mobile repair shop to swap it out for the dead one in your phone. Will still work out way cheaper than the $200 you've been quoted by service centre.
If you're going to do it yourself, there's a thread somewhere on here with the service manuals linked/attached (by TheUnderling, search his posts/threads. You could probably find them with a Google search as well).
If you replace the motherboard with a 2nd hand one, you'll get the IMEI that was attached to the phone the board came from, if the service centre does it you normally keep your IMEI (Which shouldn't be a problem, but obviously with some carriers/networks in some parts of the world it might be).
sure you can
let me know when you find a motherboard for 10 bucks, i'll buy 10...
prices a quite higher for motherboards ( 50-150 $)
check well next time

i can definetly do it on my own
the thing is, can i be certain this will fix the problem?
if not what is the probability?
also the motherboard i found is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-I99...743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2a3950cf
its 90$ i was mistaken about the 10$ one
but i can still save some money here
Unless you're experienced with phone components/microelectronics, no, you have no way of knowing absolutely that replacing the motherboard will fix your problem. And that you asked this question makes it fairly obvious you don't have this experience. However, given what you've described & given similar examples on here over the past 18 mths, it is more than likely a component on the motherboard that has crapped itself.
You're looking for certainty, nobody can give you that without someone experienced opening up your phone & testing it.
If it were me, I'd get a 2nd hand board & pay somebody who knows what they're doing to swap the old one out. This would still be much cheaper than paying Samsung/an authorised repairer to put a new board in.
Are you 100% sure that the motherboard is the problem ? You said you didnt flashed the phone or anything , while the hard brick appears when you do a wipe from recovery on a faulty 4.0.4 version of android. Try using another battery , maybe it is dead. Dont rush for the motherboard change , and like Mistah said , go to a center and let them just check your phone pice by pice and then see whats the deal.

i did try a diffrent battery it didnt work,
the repair centre said that something on the hardware is burned i think something to do with the flashing
and yes i did not play with the flashing of this phone ever, i was satisfied with its current rom
Then i guess it just happend , god knows why. Sadly for you , you need to indeed changes the motherboard , think at it like this , if its fried anywayz go ahead and try to change it yourself , if it works , good for you , if not , take it to a center and thats it. Its not like if you try to changed it and fail , that second , working mobo cant be reused by those guys at the repair center to do it for you.

Okay so I just got my new phone
And I noticed it was version 2.3.4
So I read about how to upgrade it to 2.3.6
so I did it with odin and when I started to process
it just froze and I unplugged my phone and turned it off
Then I tried to get it on again but that would not happen?
I also tried to get in download mode again that wont work either
Also when I plug my usb into the phone my computer wont regonize it
Is my phone dead now????
I just had it like for 1 day....
Please help me
remove the battery for a minute, but it back in and press vol down+home key+ power button... maybe it will work this way.
where did it freeze in odin?
did you had your drivers installed correctly?

My driver were installed correctly, before all the problems it would just show up on KIES
And im not really sure were it started to fail in Odin but it looked like odin stopped working and just froze so that's why I removed to usb and turned it off.
And I just tried to get in download mode again but no luck..
Keep trying to get into DL mode; remove battery - put it back in, hold home/vol down/power. Try a jig as well, if you can't get one easily there's a thread in General where people have offered to lend their jigs to other people, there might be someone near you with one.
If you can't get into DL mode & there's no other signs of life from the phone, it's a service centre job. If that happens, play dumb. Say as little as possible. You never know, you might blag it for warranty service/replacement (This is never guaranteed tho given you borked it & they're quite within their rights to charge you).

Oh yeah, of course it can be repaired In similar cases it's often a motherboard replacement. How much that costs will depend on how much labour/parts cost in your part of the world.

Just got motherboard replaced
Hi,
I just got my motherboard replaced.My phone was out of warranty though.
But your is,
My phone was rooted,but service centre wont be able or try to detect that ,new motherboard replace everything even ur IMEI. So just go to service centre and dont tell them the reason that you tried odin.
first thing,never ever try to remove usb if ODIN frozes.it will brick ur phone.wait for long like 20-30 min for expensive phone.have a coffee in between.
They took 9000 INR which is now 155 usd. Dont worry they will replace it if you dont tell the correct reason and you sud have invoice.
Try volume up_home+power button.

I was al new to odin etc
I never thought it would kill my phone
The reason I was trying to update was because my wifi signal was very weak
and with the 2.3.6 update that would have been fixed...
But ill go to the service center and tell them a other story
There are never any guarantees with this. You take the phone in, keep the story simple & you cross your fingers. There have been cases like this where people here have been told 100% guaranteed by people on here they'd get their phone repaired for nothing & they haven't.
If you expect Samsung to fix your phone/the thought of not having a warranty scares you, you don't mess with it in the first place.

Okay thanks,
When I charge me dead phone it does get really hot!
idk if that's still a sign of life...
Thankyou Captain Obvious.
I'm pretty sure I said in my first post (I did) that it would likely be a service centre job.
And what I also said was you're never 100% every single time guaranteed to get it repaired/replaced for nix if you've messed with it (as the OP has). For some reason, you failed to get that bit. Comprehension not a strong point, eh ?
OP - Phone heating up at back near the top/camera - dead. Sooner you send it in/get it fixed the sooner you'll be able to use your phone again.

I'd be very surprised if they fix it by 'flashing it with new software', normally in these instances you'd be looking at a motherboard replacement. They may be referring to a JTAG, and your phone might be one of the lucky instances where that's possible.
Either way, if you didn't back your data up, you won't be recovering it.

thanks for the reply, well dont know what are they reffering to but they are saying phone will be fine but they cant save the data
is there any best or paid recovery software from which i can get back the data, its even very scary because that backup software will also show very old unwanted data too
Nope. The only very rough chance you may have is to contact a company who specialises in recovery of data from dead hard drives (Google search). Very unlikely to be able to help & will be very expensive if they are able to.

what does that local repair shop says on inspecting the phone ??
Motherboard Replacement or POWER IC ?? what Price does he asks for ?
nothing works phone was completely dead, i went to gaffar market but still no luck, showed to many shops but all said mother board is dead. so finally i bought one old mother board worth rs 4500 /- & now m using it
Hi,
Yesterday, all of a sudden my S2 crashed for no reason and I haven't been able to boot it ever since. First, I put out the battery, put it back in and everything seemed to be ok, but when the screen with the Samsung logo came on nothing happened. I tried this a few times, still the same. So I started to search on the internet for soluitons and found out about the 'recovery mode'. I got it into recovery mode and chose 'reboot', and after that my phone totally stopped working...
Now it won't even turn on or anything, when the phone is on the charger there's no sign that it's charging. I've tried another battery but it stays the same. I've got the phone for 2.5 years and never had any problems with it and never rooted or flashed it.
I've searched this forum a bit and I saw some quite simular problems, but because at first I got into download mode I thouigt my case is a bit different. So, is there anything else I can do to help fix this?
Service centre or local mobile repair shop.

Be aware to do this thing..
Thanks so far, but can someone tell me how it's possible that these devices just stop working? Never had any problems with it at all.
You guys think an USB jig etc. won't work? I've recently saved all photos/videos.. But I didn't save agenda items/contacts and such, because there was no reason to believe that the phone would crash in near future.
Seriously ? Electronics of all kinds (phones, PC's, whatever) die without warning for all kinds of warnings. Not like electronic components can give you some pop up warning saying 'Oh yeah, BTW, I'm about to bite the dust, you better back your **** up'.
A jig is unlikely to work, but eh, maybe you'll be the 1 in 10,000 cases like this where it will work. So you definitely try one if you can get one.
Saying 'But I didn't save agenda items/contacts and such, because there was no reason to believe that the phone would crash in near future' is beyond ridiculous. If you've got stuff that's really important to you & the loss of that stuff is going to cause you angst, you're a fool if you're not backing it up regularly. Even on a completely stock phone this is a cinch to do (Kies).

bro calm down
and tell will that capacitor thing will work ??
I mean take a look at that link.. people who have dead s2's without even water damage have able to boot up the phone by removing that capacitor...
what do you think ?
No idea, never tried it (and wouldn't). I'd bite the bullet & pay someone to fix my phone properly or buy another one, and I'd also have all my stuff backed up so I can restore it when I get my phone fixed/to my new phone.
Edit - I'm perfectly calm. I refuse to show any empathy/sympathy to stupid people who don't back important data up & then cry when that data is lost.

I backed up most of my stuff so calm down please Last backup was like half a year ago so I'm only missing some phone numbers and my agenda. The point is that I would like to know if there's any possibility to save the phone like it was when it crashed? So with messages/settings/apps etc.

I've read this page but I don't completely get it.. Do I have to get new components or something? I think that page is mostly about water damage... or am I wrong?

I backed up most of my stuff so calm down please Last backup was like half a year ago so I'm only missing some phone numbers and my agenda. The point is that I would like to know if there's any possibility to save the phone like it was when it crashed? So with messages/settings/apps etc.

yes ... about those people who have water damaged their s2's
but some people whose s2's are dead not aby water damaged also saved by this thing..
It says to remove that Capacitor.. and try to turn on phone again...
Its not a guarantee that it'll work... just an last experiment done on Motherboard that may save it...BEFORE REPLACEMENT

So just remove this thing and no replacement? Sorry if I'm a bit confused, but everyone is saying something else

you can try that..if you have finally decided to replace your motherboard at all...
may be it could...
have you gone to the local mobile repair shop ? what they said ??
I'd rather try everything not to have to replace the motherboard. Cause like I said earlier: If there's any possibility to save the phone like it was when it crashed, so with messages/settings/apps etc. it's better offcourse... Or is it when I remove/replace this capacitor all will be lost also?
I'm going to visit the local store this afternoon to see what they have to say about it... But there's no warranty on this phone anymore so I guess fixing will be (too) expensive.

First went to local mobile phone store, only thing they did was putting the phone on a charger and say: Can't be fixed. Then I went to the repair store and they said that only looking at it what the problem could be would cost €30,-, and they couldn't guarantee that the problem would be solved then so...?

Try another shop.... It costs nothing just to check and see..
This friday I will visit a repair store in another town.. See what they have to say about it.
Just for the record: If the USB Jig method works, do I lose my data after all?
I got a USB-Jig and tried to get the phone into download mode, but it didn't work. Are there any other solutions left?
Eh no.
