phone bricked??

Basically it just keeps resetting, after loading the splash screen it resets, after the warning message in odin it resets to a black screen that vibrates every two seconds or so. Can anyone help?

Can you get into download mode or cwm? If so you can fix it. Use search and you can easily fix it with Odin or cwm.

nope, it just reboots

I had this problem, try pressing your power button a little hard a couple times
The power button could be internally stuck, causing the phone to reset like this

Yea it was my power button, I did exactly that and now it's working again.

i think i just had this same issue. i went as far as unrooting my phone and now im thinking ok the phone works now but i wonder if it was just the power button all this time. i did have to keep pressing the power button to get it to go into recovery mode. finally got it to stop rebooting and i unrooted. thought i had a bad root. but i didn't just root the phone when this happened. i was ending a call and sitting my phone down on my work desk and then it started rebooting over and over and over again. reading this just gave me confidence in rooting again with caution and monitoring phone with one eye open like pbs,:cyclops:

BRICKED!!

I don't know what happened. I was about to unlock the device. I had it plugged in to my PC and clicked reboot to put it in recovery.
And now it will not turn on at all. I push power and nothing. I plug it in to the charger and no charging icon comes up. I plug it in to my PC and it comes up as QHSUSB_DLOAD with a needs troubleshooting status.
Any help please.

Just remember always take your time and lastly you can't brick it if you did nothing to it. just telling it to reboot without actually running any commands shouldn't change anything.

[Q] Keeps booting...

I was on the lastest beanstalk and I received a text while updating some random app in the play store. The phone rebooted during the process and its been rebooting since. It stops when I do a battery pull, I put the battery back in and it loads the Samsung logo and then shows the sII logo and about half way it reboots stays a black screen and boots over and over. Assuming I softbricked somehow I attempted to go into download mode and start fresh. When trying to do so it loads up the screen where it allows me to press up or down using the volume buttons but when recovery tries to load up and flashes green goes back to blacm and continues to boot over and over not allowing me to manual get into download mode nor recovery.
Any help or advice would be great thanks in advance for any willing to give suggestions!

Seems like your power buttons stuckk. Try cleaning around it with a toothpick and see if your phone stops rebooting

I was gonna try open it and clean it that way but a tooth pick sounds legit. Any advice is good thanks bros:thumbup:

[Q] My galaxy s2 SGH-T989 wont turn on.

Ok, so i can't really tell if this particular problem has been posted before but from what i have looked through it has not. However, if i have just missed it then please just redirect me to it as long as it matches my problem so please read through my post before posting that its been done.
So moving along, as the title says i have a Samsung Galaxy s2 SGH-T989 and i've been running CyanogenMod 10.2. Oh and before i forget, the battery is not dead and just in case i've tried to turn it on while plugged in only to get the same results. Anyways over the past 24 hours my phone started shutting off randomly to the point now that it shuts off before finishing booting. If it does finish it doesn't stay on long enough to do anything and sometimes it barely turns on.
Has this been heard of before and even if not what can i try or do?

Three words:
Broken power button
Apparently it's a very common issue with this phone.
It has yet to happen on my phone. I hope it never does lol.
You can try replacing the button yourself or take it to a cellphone repair shop.

Sounds right, the button is difficult to replace, best to have a shop replace it. I have fixed a couple by tightening the button. You tube, easy power button fix t989 by iamkambodian. Only if you're OK with taking it apart.
Ps, you can feel the button click if it's good.

Well i tried the method in the video and that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Also not entirely sure its the power button but i don't really know how to tell either. Anyways if there are any other ideas please let me know.

This is what I did when I messed up a recovery: plugged it in the computer and held all 3 buttons until Samsung then just volume up. It got me into download mode where I used Odin to flash another recovery.
