I was tempting to put my phone into recovery mode, It froze and has done this before and last time i pulled the battery... so i did the same thing this time. Only now the phone will not turn on. Plugs in a Jig and nothing. Pluged in power cord and nothing..... Im assuming its permabricked.
I just want to know if it was because it was going to recovery and i pulled the battery? did something short maybe? any educated guesses?
Take out your battery, microSD, SIM, etc. Let your phone sit for around a half hour to an hour. Put everything back in. It might turn on. You could also try getting it JTAG repaired.

Yeah i gave all that a try. Imma just chalk this up in the win some lose some and get use upgrade for a new one (or use vibrant itll gs3mini comes out).
Its under warranty but im torn because this is not something (i think) i cause to happen like if i was flashing a new rom or did something wrong and messed up the phone...
so i might try to warranty an exchange. and even if they say your a moron and it was your fault. still got to get a new phone.
Try holding power button down with battery in for 60 seconds...

Good luck fixing your phone ! Don't get the S3 Mini. Our S2 has much better specs then it. I would go for the HTC One S, Galaxy S3, or another S2.

Yeah I'll stick with gs2. I really don't like the iPhone style center button on the gs3. Tmobile did tell me I had an option and offered me an One S if I wanted that over the gs2... Thought that was kinda weird.

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.

Hi,
I recently rooted my phone (SGH-I747) this was two weeks ago. Everything was good no problem nothing at all. This morning I restart my phone and it will not start again. The battery was full charge and I tried other battery and does not work. There is no light when I try to charge it and there is no sign of life nothing at all. I tried to get into download mode but I could not. My question is there any hope that I can get my phone back I am really frustrating. :crying:
Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and see if your phone can boot.

My condolences. Same thing happened to my phone today. I called up AT&T, and they referred me to a local AT&T Repair Facility. They tried what they could, but in the end, they swapped my phone out. I ended up losing all my stuff that wasn't backed up in the cloud. Not a lot, and mostly all replaceable... but annoying just the same.

FYI: I've had defective iphones too. There will always be a defective device from someone. no mfg is perfect. Hardware fails, it isn't anyone's fault. Its why there are return policies and warranties. I've taken my iphones for replacements and I've taken my android phones in for replacements.
P.S. If you had more than one bad experience with the same product I would understand your frustration. However, switching to a less powerful phone because of one bad experience is absurd.

My problems started from the day one. First time it did not accept my micro sim card and they replaced my phone and after one week the charger did not work and after one month they sent me a new one. now my phone is dead. Samsung customer service is the worse in this country I really had to fight with them just to send me a new charger. I will see what will happen tomorrow when I tell them that my phone is completely dead.
Yep its true, tabby the tablet finally kicked the bucket couple days ago. Might be a battery issue, I heven't been charging and keeping it above 10% but oh well. Power button still works just now screen. Any ideas? I did take it a art and remove the battery and replace it to no avail. I'll still try to be around but ye know, now I can't test anything.

Yes, they will all eventually die, it's got a crappy emmc in it. How long is strictly usage dependant. Wipes for roms seems to accelerate it.

Let me tell you from experience that this A100 is **** unless you put CM10 on it.
Acer did a great job of ruining this tablet with their ICS OTA update.
If you have a blast with FCs and a boatload of app compatibility issues, namely HD/THD games that even my god damn LG G2x that's stuck on Gingerbread/CM7 will play, by all means stay stock.
Now if you want to see what the A100 is REALLY capable of, do some reading, pick ypur ROM, and flash your chosen CM10 setup once. It's not going to accelerate EMMC failure that much quicker and the performance and just in general useablilty gains are a great payoff.
Justjackyl's two cents here.

Oh and to everyone, I think I theorized a way to keep it from bricking, I flashed a lot ALOT and it didn't brick, it died when I finally stopped using it! And the reason why, I think, is the work godmachine put in. The emmc cap erase work (or more not of) I think is why. When I switched recoveries and stopped running that glorious kernel, I think that's when it happened. SO IN CONCLUSION use his kernel and recovery religiously and I think you'll be OK. I might, probably, could be wrong but that's my theory. I did finally get the warranty taken care of and we sent it out Tuesday. So I might be back

I will try to make this as short as possible. I got my vzw galaxy nexus used on eBay 3 months ago. I loved it like it was my second child. A week ago I noticed the radio was not showing a signal or a very weak one, sometimes but it always worked. Until last night, It wouldn't register a signal so I rebooted it. It started to boot loop, never getting past the nexus logo. It was unlocked, rooted, but running stock jdq39. I left the battery out for an hour and it did boot to the lock screen. I would unlock then it would reboot again by itself. I then went down the road of trying to flash stock images, radios, and even cm10. All the stock images failed on flashing CDMA-radio. Cm10 came up but it started boot looping again, baseband was unknown as well as other info under status. As a last resort I tried to Odin 4.0.2 it failed at the very end trying to write (wait for it) CDMA-radio. Now it only boots to a yellow triangle with a phone and computer image on either side. I an not missing anything stupid right? The CDMA radio must be toast.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app
Probably. Fastboot also fails?
a maguro wrote this.
It certainly sounds like a part of the hardware in the radio has been going bad. Is there any warranty left on it? Not sure if they're transferable since you bought it on eBay, but it's worth a shot to at least ask, either at your store or Samsung. The only other random things you might try is taking the LTE sim out and if you have access a different battery? Since it's failing on CDMA, the sim shouldn't have any effect, but since it's dead, it's worth a shot. Same for the battery. But yeah, sounds dead.

Yeah I can't even get into the boot loader anymore. So adb and fast boot don't work, but Odin still connects and can flash, just gets stuck at the cdma-radio.

Thanks! It was absolutely the cdma radio that died. The replacement came with CM10.1 RC4 but decided to flash it back to jdq39 stock. It flashed without problem using the same USB cable, computer and drivers. It seemed like hours when I flashed the cdma radio but in reality it only took a few minutes, but was very relived when it finished successfully. I figure I am just going to keep the other parts in case I need them.
Well I dropped my phone a few days and now all I have is a black screen. I figure I need a new digitizer and lcd screen but all the parts for the t989 are really expensive. So I was wondering if I could use the digitizer/lcd screen from the Sprint Galaxy S2 D710 since both our phones have the same sized screen, that way I could save myself a lot of money.
Hopefully someone can help me out I'm already tired of using a blackberry!
anyone?

Oh no lol a blackberry ewwww lol, it may work, but remember just because it's the same size does not mean it will work , there may be different connections and hardware issues connected to the different (hardware anyway) phones

Lol tell me about it, you don't even know how much I miss my S2 right now. Yeah I know the dimensions of the screen are the same but I don't know if the connections are the same

Yeah that's what I'm talking about, it may be the same dimension, but it could be completely different hardware lol and that's a whole new issue u don't want, I was without my gs2 for almost 4hrs due to a bad update through kies lol worst 4hrs ever, looked at my trusty backup (zte merrit z990g) and almost cried, luckly it was a very easy fix

Isn't the amoled display different than the one you want to replace? I mean its just the calibration so I guess it won't matter, and I'm almost positive the connectors are different. I would go for it though, and you might learn something too
Well anyways sucks for your screen :/ and that you can't use your sg2
