What is this? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

My girlfriends phone has been having an issue where this thing pops up randomly. I attached screenshots. It is rooted running DW 2.6. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it or tell me what may cause this. Thanks in advance.

That's dl mode. Probably using the wrong cable which is acting like a jig

Yeah, that makes sense I actually remember reading something like that a while back. I will try a different cable. Thank you.

That will also happen if you reboot while plugged in the computer

Charging goes to download mode??

All of a sudden, while at work I turn off my phone to charge and it reboots and goes straight to download mode?? I think I read somewhere inside another topic.. does that mean the original usb cord is going bad and turned into a jig or something..?? Thank you.

Oh OK, shouldn't be bad towards the phone.. I think it is the cord.

Are you using a g2x data cable?

Yep that will cause this.
I'm just sayin!
No and I think I figured it out. My 11months old baby kept playing with the cord and chewing on the tip.

My phone does this as well on my car charger, I will need to pickup a better quality one.

Bricked

I think I have bricked my phone. Im pretty tech savvy I have had around 5 phones and have rooted all phones. I flashed a rom I had not seen before in rom manager. It is called minium 1.0.7. It flashed fine and I hit reboot and my phone did nothing. So I did a battery pull for about 3mins and put it back in and it wont boot at all. Is there anyway I can get it to come alive again. Thanks

Its pretty much not safe to flash stuff from rom manager anymore. Tons of stuff that isn't for our phone shows up in there now, huge problem. But more than likely you are bricked. Only hope you have is holding volume up+down at the same time, and plugging in the usb cord until the "warning" comes up. If that does not work, you have no hope. If download mode actually does come up, i will point you in the right direction to fixing your phone.

I just sent my phone back to Samsung for warranty when I bricked mine. If it wont boot at all 99.9% chance they just send you a refurb.

Ok, I have tried that and it wont respond to anything I think its dead. To tmobile I go. Thanks for the help though.

Bricked a previous gs2 with ROM from other gs2 forums. Sent it to Samsung and replaced under warranty free. Recently picked up this one and wishing I never sold the previous one

this one had no comments on it. I should have guessed.

Try putting it in download mode by using an official LG usb cord and plugging it into a wall socket. I know the LG cords have the constant power wire switched so you might be able to do that. I have seen it done before.
Talked to my awesome tmobile friend and she has a new one coming Wed and only cost $5 to replace. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Probably worth it but your friend is pocketing $5

Samsung website, register the phone and information is on there. Took about 10 days or less for it to get back.

Just got my replacement in and I have noticed it doesn't have a lockscreen. I have rebooted and and turned the screen on and off. The screen turns on and without having to go thru a lockscreen.
The other thing I noticed is if my hold down my power button my phone turns off. It doesn't prompt me to put it airplane mode or anything. It doesn't even ask me if I want to shut down it just does. Can't get a custom rom on thus fast enough.

Try factory reset first
I ahve had this problem also, but it has only happend while charging. It acts like the back button is pushed continously. I only noticed this once I switched to a six foot USB cable.

In developer options click show screen touches. See if your digitizer is going bad, happened to one of my note1's.
Id return it in a heartbeat but before that if you want to have fun go to phone and enter

And play around with the sensors.

But in battery it still says discharging could it be my battery? Because I tried other chargers but its all the same...

In the same situation,
Especially when running Google Maps. I love the phone but had to revert back to S3
It's drawing more power than the USB connection can provide.

It seems to be the usual explanation for that kind of problem, but if you're stock and fairly clean and it happens on every charger, then it may very well be something else...not sure exactly what though.
