So i was updating my international GS2 via Kies a few hours ago (windows XP) and it was all going smoothly up until the part when the screen of my phone got to the android and the "downloading, DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" bit came up. It started to load, but then my computer suddenly came up and said that it couldn't recognise the device anymore and that i should take out the battery and plug it back in :/ i waited for about 5 mins and then i hit the "ok" button on the error msg, and then it disappeared and kies just went back to the home screen and started trying to reconnect to my phone :? :?Phone is still sitting on the desk with the "Downloading" thing still on the screen...

Do all steps from there and your phone will alive again
So i've looked around and no one that i've seen has the same exact problem as i do. Here's my post in another forums about my problem.
Here's my story about my Galaxy s2 for T-mobile. My phone randomly turned off 2 days and whenever i tried to turn it on, it would restart and basically never get pass the blue loading bar screen. Second, i found out about this boot loop sequence and i was able to do a factory wipe.
After i factory wiped the data etc off the phone, i was able to use it until it ran out of battery, but then after i found out it ran out of battery, it wouldn't let me turn it back on, it wouldn't get pass the loading screen, once again. On the other hand, i am able to go to recovery mode or download mode, but the phone shuts off before i can even try and click on the options i want.
Today, i found out that if i kept pressing power button consecutively on the phone, I'd be able to go to my home screen and basically act as if nothing ever happened, it'd function as a new phone! I then had the nerves of turning off my phone just to make sure it finally works now, but my hopes were crushed and now the pressing the power trick does not even work anymore. It would probably work one out of 10-15 times, and in the end it'd still restart. I am using a gingerbread galaxy s2. My friend tried using the usb jib on my phone, and it worked but whenever he tried to plug in the usb, the phone would just restart. I am extremely frustrated with this, and if you can help, please do so because it's important that i fix this phone. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Hi there, thank you for the welcoming me to the forums. No, my phone is not rooted, it has always been gingerbread etc i never tried rooting because i never knew how:/ I believe this started when i was just browsing around facebook, so i'm not entirely sure what happened... Uhmm i tried going to download mode through the volume keys and power button when it's connected to usb to the i think it's odin3? and it'd be in the download mode but as soon as the computer says it's connected, the phone would just turn off again and bam, it's like nothing ever happened. My phone does charge when it's plugged in, but it doesn't show it's being charged but i remember my battery was dead last night and i charged it till today and now it's got power. ANd no i don't have a warranty:/ i really hope you can help me

Yesterday my brother was watching a video on Angry Birds toons and the tablet froze. I couldn't exit the app or switch it off normally. I decided to hold the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. After this I wanted to switch it on again, but there was no response. I plugged in the charger and the screen stayed black. I have tried all sorts of combinations and tricks but none seem to be working. I plugged it into the charger overnight and tried again but again, nothing worked. I was thinking to send it to samsung as I only got it 5 months ago. The problem is that the tablet was rooted so I think the warranty is void. What can I do, it's not even recognised by a computer when plugged in.
Send it to Samsung with root.. I did this with my old Ace Plus and they repaired it
I have the same problem on gt-p5210, i have only open it, unplug and replug battery... and it work
What abigail34 says works. If you are comfortable opening your tablet. This seems to be an issue with the gt-p5210.
Hi everyone,
so i was given a note 4 that had a booting up problem. it was originally my girlfriend's sister and she told me that when ever it turned off(either out of battery or manually) it would have a hard time booting up. when attempted to turn on it will show the
Samsung
GALAXYNOTE4
powered by
ANDROID
then black screen and a semi blue and white notification. sometimes it would vibrate, restart, and repeat for about two or three time's. i first tryed that "remove battery and drain out the power form the mother board" trick and sometimes it works. i installed a fresh, clean Android OS but still have that problem. i search online and i have not gotten no answers on why this happens. it just happend to me now and i used the "remove battery" trick and its turned on now but i would like to know a salution that will completly fix this problem. there will be times im going to restart the phone and im afraid it will get stuck again.
Not sure if there's anyone left who browses this forum, but I guess it never hurts to try. If there's a better place to post this nowadays, please let me know!
I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for about 9 years now. I never messed around with rooting or installing any custom stuff.
I don't remember what version of Android it was using; I'd assume it was whatever the latest official version was.
Last night, I was reading an ebook on my phone; nothing out of the ordinary. Phone seemed fine. Battery was at about 75% or so.
And then, for no discernible reason, the phone froze and became unresponsive. I tried rebooting, and when I did, a screen came up asking for a "PIN or password to access the encrypted device memory" or something like that.
I had never seen anything like that screen before.
I tried restarting again, but this time, the phone just straight up would not power on. The device's status/power light was a steady blue, not blinking.
If I held down the power button for about 5 seconds, the light would briefly turn off and then go right back to the steady blue. The phone's screen remained blank.
I tried using a different battery, but it made no difference. The phone simply wouldn't boot at all and would not give any indication that it was accepting a charge. I tried holding down the volume buttons and home button in addition to the power button, but it made no difference. Couldn't even get the Samsung splash screen.
I tried connecting it to the USB port of my laptop and desktop PC. Neither device could detect the phone.
So, I'm left wondering, did my phone just suddenly "brick" itself or experience a sudden hardware failure? Is there anything I can do to salvage my phone?
Thanks.
