[Q] stuck on battery logo when rebooting when its charging?

I have a problem because everytime when my phone is on charge (doesnt matter if its USB cable or wall socket) and Im rebooting it (power -> switch off - > and power it again) the system will not boot up. It will just stay on black screen with battery logo. I never checked if its a problem with stock ICS or Revolution MOD. Anyone else have such a problem?

I have the same problem, it's annoying to have to remove the battery just to turn it back on.

I think most phones do that, on my Optimus 2x i can boot it by using the power button again.

Power button is not working. Can someone confirm if its a stock ICS issue or because our phones are rooted

Dude Android has nothing to say about a pre-boot enviroment like the charger.

Have it here as well. Have pulled the battery both times I have done it so far.

Same problem here. I have tried both Android Revolution and a stock F build.
It sounds like it might be something to do with the bootloader unlock process?
EDIT: Flashed Paul's ir3 release and ClockworkMod again and it's charging fine now. Very strange.

Even though the phone is stuck there, do you know if it is charging?
because my bat is completely dead, when it happened to me. im waiting to see if my phone charges

Any solution to this? besides being damn sure your phone isn't plugged into anything when rebooting?

Same issue stock 4.0.3 ...

[Q] Tried Flashing ICS now my Phone is BRICKED HELP!

So I first heard about the ported ICS rom on Galaxys2root.com So I downloaded and flashed the file from there which was about 300mbs. Flashed then got stuck in a bootloop. I was able to restore a backed up rom. I thought it might've been the wrong rom so I found a thread here with ICS ROM. Flashed it... same boot loop problem except the first rom boot halfway to a att boot screen. this one just stayed black. At first power button turned on the phone to a battery screen but then turned black.. no animations followed. Now the phone is not responded to any button pushes. It just vibrates intermittently when I plug it in to my charger. It had maybe 35% battery life when it got caught in the boot loop the second time. I'm thinking since the power button was working at first that maybe the intermittent vibrating is because my battery is now dead and it won't charge? Is that possible or is my phone just fuqed? Some one please help!!!!!!!! p.s sorry for the long post.

Seems like you messed up on wipes. I had different problem when i didnt wipe well. The link you posted from this forum is not usable ICS. Try to get ur phone on download mode and flash via odin.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I read later on in that thread that I was supposed to perform a super wipe. Also I can't get my phone into download mode. It won't even turn on. It just vibrates maybe every 3 seconds when I plug it in to charge. When its not plugged in it won't do anything.

Try using a different cable to get into download mode. Specifically an LG cable. I've heard of this working for other people.

Any kind of response from the phone is a good thing. Worst case scenario is phone literally doesn't do anything or respond to any type of stimulus.
So I'm assuming you know how to access CWM and download mode but just in case there's some confusion, here's how I always access them:
CWM - hold power and volume +/- buttons until phone vibrates then keep holding all (do not let go) until CWM appears. (Others don't have to keep holding after the vibrate, but when I first flashed my phone it wouldn't boot into recovery unless I kept the buttons depressed until CWM actually appeared)
Download - (phone powered off already) hold volume +/- buttons (not power); plug in USB cable (still holding buttons); wait for vibrate (still holding buttons); download mode screen appears (release buttons only after this point)
If nothing else works, you can always try sending it back to Samsung/Tmobile to see if they'll replace it for you. If you can't get it to odin/download mode then chances are good that they won't be able to tell that it was rooted and thus would have no reason to void your warranty.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, raver's AOSP ICS ROM (the second one you flashed) doesn't have boot animation support so it's supposed to stay black on boot. Experimental ROMs especially may take a long time for first boot so you should always not touch it for at least 10 minutes before you try any kind of battery pull or powering off.

there are a lot of threads about people having problems when following instructions on galaxys2root.com

Thanks!
I'm Back In The Game!!! The weirdest thing happened. So I went to my friends house and put my battery in his s2 to see if it had any life and it was. I threw it back in my phone and for some reason it booted up to the ROM I flashed. ICS was beautiful on it but I immediately went back to my recovery rom lol. Lesson learned. Thanks guys for the help this was my first time posting a problem on this forum and I love how quick everybody is to help.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. Can be a pretty scary experience. Remember: patience is your friend, especially the first time you boot to a new ROM. If you think the boot screwed up, the best way to ENSURE that it screws up is to power it off/pull battery. Always wait 10 minutes before touching it.

[Q] URGENT HELP:Phone won't boot

I've had they Hercules for just over a year now but have only been using it for the past four months. I have only downloaded educational apps. However, yesterday i was not using it and came back to find it vibrating every 2-3 seconds. I removed the battery and left it out for an hour. When i replaced the battery, the phone began to reload but stopped during the boot,made a noise I've never heard before and began to vibrate as if going into recovery/download mode. I have been running ics for the past 4 months. The phone does not boot at all and is very frustrating . I have also tried charging it with no luck. Can anyone assist me with this problem??

sounds like you have the dreadful power button fail it gets a little jammed up try sticking a toothpick or something skinny in there and wiggle it a bit see if that works for you if not check if your still under warranty are you rooted or stock ICS?

u have a bad power button. try unsticking it.

Agreed. A friend had a similar issue and his power button was stuck.

I'm rooted and the warranty is up

Strange enough this just happened to me 10 minutes ago. I did manage to get the phone to boot after slapping the hell out if my power button which gave me the only means to get into recovery so now I can comment from experience. Ive been running pac for 3 weeks. Just yesterday my phone started doing really weird ****, dont know if it's just coincidence, calls would go through to random people, every time I clicked gallery I got a random reboot, I couldnt call voicemail, and trying to change wallpapers gave a reboot. Today I was changing a wallpaper and boom random reboot then began the loop and vibrating. A few things I noticed while this was happening, if I attempted to go into recovery the samsung splash screen appeared followed by the stock kernel splash( samsung and the blue bar at the bottom) which made me believe it wasnt the power button but indeed rom or kernel problem, also my led flashed once while going through the vibrate loop and I know the power button has nothing to do with that. I did manage to get pac to boot about 4 times by slapping the hell out of my power button but it went back to the loop after a few seconds so the next time I managed to get it to boot I held the power button and booted to recovery. Once I was able to get in to recovery I restored a liquid smooth back up. Ive powered the phone off and on with no problem. Now I'm just waiting to see what happens through out the day. I was running pac with cerux when this happened. I truly believe this is not a hardware problem at all until I get it again with another set up. If you need help I getting your phone to boot I could possibly be of assistance so pm me unless you want to keep getting responses from people who haven't experienced this at all. This was the single most scariest experience Ive had since I ve been flashing, even worse than my brick because I knew I bricked immediately.

Phone suddenly died, won't turn on ! Keeps vibrating, Help !

I tried to look for solutions, didn't find any - sorry if this is a repost. Anways, I set my phone down and when i came back an hour later it was off. I rebooted it and it got to the boot image then turned off. Now everytime i try pressing any buttons it just vibrates. No lights. There's no sign when i plug it in to charge and I have tried removing the battery and SIM card. Im running ktoonservative kernel and deviantxone. It was fine before this, and its completely out of the blue. Any ideas?

Any button combos tried to get into recovery or download mode?
Could be the notorious screen of death going around for s3's.

Try accessing recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. Let us know what happens.

Or any chance it got wet somehow, mine started doing that vibrating randomly. Before you freak out try a different charger cable may have died completely combine with something else that it won't boot

[Q] Phone stuck in boot animation (Cyanogenmod 10.1)

Hello, I am running unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my DHD and it has been working fine up until today.
This may have started when I took a picture with the phone this morning. The camera flashed 3 times, even though I hit the "take picture" button once. Then the phone was hotter then usual and the battery drained faster. Once the battery was gone, I plugged the phone in to a power source, let it charge for a bit, and turned the phone on. It continually plays the CM boot animation until it runs out of power or has the battery taken out.
Any ideas on how to fix this, or boot into recovery for that matter? Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hi. My little brother had a similar problem where his phone was working fine and then got stuck on the logo probably cos of a virus or something. So what I did was just take out the battery. Leave it out for about a minute. Put it back in. Boot into recovery. Then wipe data/factory reset. Then reboot your phone and see what happens. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Have you tried rebooting with adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery? Have you tried pulling the battery, then holding power and volume-down?

Factory reset worked. Thanks.

Your welcome. By the way. You should download setCPU to limit the amount of power that goes to your phone at a certain point in time. Because most of the time our phones use too much power especially when not needed mostly on custom ROMs. And this could lead to all sorts of problems. Stay safe yo
