[Q] Galaxy s2 hercules wont boot after 3/24/13 nightly installed - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello all,
I installed the newest Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (3/24/13) and the phone worked just fine for a few hrs. But when I selected Google Play the phone turned off and got stuck in a boot loop. I tried rebooting in download mode by connecting to my PC while holding volume up+down but it doesn't wotk. I tried rebooting into recovery but still no luck. No matter what I do it just boots to the Samsung logo then just vibrates in 3 second intervals.
I'm ok with flashing my phone to stock and rooting again. But it wont do anything but vibrate every few seconds no matter what I try. I'm desperately trying to get it into download mode. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Did u try removing battery & then try to reboot?

Yes, I did.
Weirdest thing happened though. I got frustrated and left the phone vibrating on my desk. I came back 10 minutes later and it's back to normal!!
I have no idea what happened and I don't plan to try to figure it out. I'm happy it's back up and running.
Thanks for the reply though. Very much appreciated.

That is weird

[Q] Cm10.1 stuck in Vibration Loop

I installed CM10.1 yesterday on my T989. I updated it this morning with the newer version of CM10.1. So today I was at work, I was listening to some music and in the process of sending a text, my phone shuts off. I attempted to turn it on, it said "Samsung," and goes into a vibration loop, nothing loads. Then I tried to go into Odin and go into download mode, and it shows the download mode screen, then shuts off. I am running out of ideas. Hopefully you guys can help, Thank you!

I can't help you, but I'm just letting you know you're not alone. Mine did that a couple of times when I was on some CM 10.1 nightlies. The phone would just shut off. I thought maybe it was just a SOD on black screen, but one time I caught it flash the Samsung logo, and then shut off. I had to press and hold the power button to turn it back on. Strange indeed. I don't know what caused it, but I would like to know. I use my phone as my alarm, and if it would shut off during the night that would not be good for the morning.
You'd get much more input if you were on a Rom on xda.
This is why I won't use a few roms....jellybam, carbon....at least until there is a dev thread on it....and a couple others.
Just my two cents!

It can be the software or the hardware. My phone keeps rebooting even though I reverted back to stock.
I'm getting the same issue with the random shutdowns. I'm on PAC-man rom. The few times I noticed that it happened was when the screen shutdown while an app was active.

Try holding power until you feel it vibrate. Maybe 10 seconds or so. If that doesnt help, pull the battery and put it back. Then try booting to recovery and factory reset / wipe data.

I called T-Mobile they will send me another replacement. I told them I just won't turn on. It's still covered. Which is good. Just gotta pay $5 for processing fee. What a relief it will be here tomorrow..

Galaxy gio GT-S5660 Screen won`t turn on please help!

Ok, so this morning i pulled my phone off the charger running M`rage rom and i looked at it and decided to change it. So i went to go look for another rom and remembered I had a version of AOSP on my phone, so i turned it off, and tried to boot it into CWM, but suprisingly, the screen would not turn on... So I looked around and I found some pages saying to use Odin, but everyone was saying to put it into download mode,so i did,
although for some reason I could not get the screen on, but on Odin it said that the device is connected, so I tried to put 2.3.6 on the device, but it took over 1.5 hours so i aborted the operation and decided to come here for advice from someone who knows how to fix the problem.
Thanks for any advice!
