My Galaxy S II issue

hey guys,
( I know that there is another thread here asking that same question, but actually the questioner didn't get the perfect answer , that's why I ask this question again, I really need your help )
please I have a problem in my device,
I have Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the problem is when I switch it off after that
the phone will turn itself ON automatically, in another words, I can't switch it off.
please, can anyone tell me the reason or the solution of this problem ?
( knowing that there is no Samsung Center in my country to fix the phone for me)
thank you so much.

Do you have stock, or a custom rom? if stock, are you rooted?

What happens after you do a battery pull? Try that leave it out for a few seconds and see if it turns itself on again, essentially it shouldn't be able to unless your hardware button is stuck/sticky.
Is your phone insured ?

If you are on a custom rom it could be a bad download. Check the MD5 checksums and verify that your download was legitimate. Other than that. If you ARE NOT rooted, I suggest you read MULTIPLE tutorials and root your phone in addition to adding a custom ROM.
May I suggest Juggernaut V5.0. Or if you like ICS I suggest Blackedition or NexusMod
Best of luck

he means that the power button might be stuck. try booting into recovery, and if your phone automatically selects reboot, you know your power button is stuck.
that's somewhere to start.

This happened to my mytouch 4g.. Once u press power it turns on automativally right away.. I tried switching multiple roms and even tried unrooting it and putting it back to stock but it still happened... After many complaints tmobile insurance too it back and even gave me a brand new sensation free of charge
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Give this a go... Back up your device beforehand.
Download Samsung Kies. Put you phone into download mode. Open Kies, and under "Tools" menu, select "Emergency firmware recovery". This will completely restore your device to stock. If you still have issues afterward, its a hardware problem.
Edit: You WILL lose root with this method. But you'll also get a definitive answer...

Unroot it and install stock

Is your phone plugged in when reboot? What are you charging it with? A usb cable or an actual charger?

I would try flashing a new ROM and especially a new kernel. Try to do it over ADB if you cant get it through recovery.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S III Rooted/Installed ROM... Now won't power on. Help!

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a little help today.
I rooted my new Sprint Galaxy S III using Odin3-v3.04, and CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7. Afterwards I rebooted and all was good.
I then downloaded I9300_Omega_v6.0_XXALF6 ROM and loaded on my phone and rebooted into recovery to install the ROM. I went through the install process, selected remove bloatware and installed. When finished I checked the reboot phone and clicked finish. The phone turned off and didn't ever turn back on.
I have pulled the battery and tried to power on using recovery, download mode and just power but nothing works.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thank you for your time and help.

ONLY use ROMs that you'll find here in these threads not the I9300; that s a different phone from ours.

Thanks I'll check there.

New phone on the way!
I was able to get a replacement sent from Sprint. Had to go to a corporate store and have a tech look at the phone and they agreed it was toast...
Luckily they didn't know it was due to my failed attempt to load an unsupported ROM.
Lesson learned... new phone should be in by the end of the week.
I'll be waiting for a supported ROM this time.

Oh man tell me about it, I almost stupidly went on to the CM9 nightlies and downloaded the I9300 version before I thought to myself, "well wait a minute, that's not my model number!"
Duh, shoulda had a V8.

I didnt install a GSM rom but still managed to brick somehow. Didnt touch any system files or do anything to where i should be bricked either. Any idea when a full stock Odin package will be made? My phone has been bricked for almost 2 days now
Edit: i started a tread here a few days ago -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731416 if anyone cares to look or has any advice for me

What have you tried so far? Have you tried reflashing cwm recovery in Odin?

I did the same thing that the OP said, flashed that omega rom and now my phone wont turn on either.
I was going to try the jig method

I want to do this but I somehow need to get the phone on. The buttons dont work.

Any luck?
My phone got stuck booting, so I tried to install the omega rom. The install worked well, and I clicked "reboot." Now the phone won't turn on. I can't get to ODIN or recovery anymore.
Did you guys find any fixes?

What happened is that you flashed a rom that was meant for the international version of the S3 and your on the US version. The only fix I have found is to send it to mobiletechvideos.com. I did and they say they can fix it and maybe save my data I have on it ( I just sent it in)
My fingers are crossed for the data recovery but as far as the phone I am going to send it for a exchange anyway.

Welp, I'm sad to say I just did the same thing too. Should have read. I'm a stinkin noob at this. I installed the I9300 version on a US version phone. Has there been any more development on this? Is the hardware fried, or is there a fix through that mobiletechvideos.com that was mentioned? What was the outcome of that, Taygutta, if you don't mind me re-bringing back up a potentially painful topic?? This thread made me a little sick, since it's my brother's new phone (someone else that knew what they were doing rooted it for him but he didn't like the rom, so I thought I would help him find a few other options to try flashing.)
Anyway, any confirmation that I'm buying my brother a new phone (so I can emotionally prepare for the purchase) or are there some other options?

There's one more thing you can try. There's a little device called a USB Jig. It was made for SGS-2 to clear the yellow triangle and reset flash counts in ODIN mode. It also puts your phone in ODIN mode by simply plugging it into the USB port of a powered down phone. Once in ODIN mode, you can reflash a stock ROM, recovery, etc. You can buy these for around $20 or less on the web.
If this does not work, I'm afraid nothing will.
Good luck.

Galaxy s3 i9305 won't turn on after installing custom rom (AT&T LTE 4G version)

After installing the rXTREME v6.2 ROM for the i9305, I selected restart from Recovery and it never turned back on. The battery was fully charged before I installed this custom ROM.
- I have removed the battery for an hour and then tried again turn it on - no success. Can't get into Download mode using the 3-buttons.
- When I plug it into my laptop via USB I hear the 'connected sound' and when I remove it I hear the 'disconnected sound', but I do not see any ability to access the phone via Windows Explorer. The driver is found and connected too.
- I tried using Odin and it say's "Added!" when I connect, but the COM:x field is 'yellow', not blue. (Keep in mind I can't get into Download mode on my phone, but I still tried with Odin) I load the right PDA file (I9305XXBMA3_I9305MEOBMA1_I9305XXBLL5_HOME.tar.md5) and have 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' checked. Odin message stays on status "SetupConnection..". I've left it this way many times, one time overnight. But with no success.
Any advice??? Please help :/

Re: Galaxy s3 i9305 won't turn on after installing custom rom (AT&T LTE 4G version)
You are hard bricked. You flashed an international ROM to a us phone (or vice versa, your thread title is a little confusing on what device model you have)
JTAG or send to Samsung.

I'm not sure he's hard bricked. Hard brick means no signs of life. Odin can see it, so there's obviously some sign of life. You need to find the proper stock firmware for your phone and try to flash back to stock

ODIN also detects hard bricks. It usually shows up as an unknown device with no drivers and can't be flashed. I've been there and done that with my own hard brick.
As his post says his phone won't boot, even after a battery pull and can't get into download or recovery. That would be no signs of life.
I have seen it happen too many times with people flashing international ROMs to their us devices. 95% of the time it is always a hard brick.
Unless he provides us with an update showing that the phone can boot, at all, even a flicker of the screen, its a dead phone. =/

if the phone won't turn on by any mean... you got yourself hard bricked.
people should really read before they actually flash a new rom... what you flashed is an international version.
but that's also weird... if i recall, some people mentioned when they flash international roms, they only got themselves soft bricked..

I concur. Too many people gloss over the thread to flash whatever they feel like it. (even saw people using a vzw app to unlock their att boot loader.. which isn't even locked. also hard bricked. )
The lucky few do get a soft brick. Those lucky few were able to see the Samsung boot logo though. It all depends on the ROM. For instance if you flash the international foxhound ROM its a guaranteed brick. 3 different people in a 2 day span I helped not too long ago. all flashed foxhound all hard bricks.

I really feel XDA should implement a test on reading comp and flashing basics before you are allowed access to dev forums for ROMs.

people should really do research before actually doing it in any way.

Do you get any signs of life on the screen at all? Either Recovery or Download mode? The Galaxy S3 splash screen? Anything at all?
If not, then it's a hard brick and you can get it repaired via a JTAG service (check eBay).
However, if you get ANY signs of life on the screen at all, even if for just a moment, then you might be able to repair things yourself.

[Q] Galaxy note 2 stuck on Samsung screen, cannot load custom OS.

Alright so first off I already already read about 20 threads on this topic. The problem is that the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen when I try to turn it on. I can go into recovery mode (Home+Down+Power), and ODIN recognizes the phone. When I put the phone in my computer ODIN recognizes it. Now one thing I did when I rooted this phone by accident was put the .tar file in the bootloader part of odin and not the PDA part.

Additional information: Sprint version, US

When I use ODIN to try to load the stock recovery it saus there is no PIT partition

Search around the original Dev threads. I believe there is a post in there that contains the pit files needed for odening the phone.

I'm experiencing the same problem but my phone has no warranty. I bought it some place else. I googled about the problem but no luck so far. I just find it weird that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem recently.. I found this

My phone is bricked?

Hello every one! so yesterday while doing nothing but leaving my phone on a markipilers youtube video, I see my screen go off I try to turn it back on and nothing happens. I tried power cycling and its still off, just not responding to anything, no sound no light no nothing. I tried then going to recovery mode but well... nothing happened. The only thing that actually makes any responses is when I connect it using a USB to my laptop, my laptop beeps, its not suposed to beep it is broken so is it bricked?
My device is a rooted Samsung galaxy s4 mini i19192 or so I hope it is.
I really hope that this is the right place to be redirected to assistant if not then Iam really sorry, thank you so much every one and have a fantastic day!
Edit: I forgot to mention two things.
1st: It does not seem to charge the battary, I kniw this because I have another identical one though the battary works fine in the working one
2nd: My PC reads it as (something?)_dload, Sadly I do not have acess to a computer just yet. Thanks again

Any help.. please?

Sent from my Galaxy S4 Mini using XDA Labs

its in fact qshusb_dload but iam still a bit clueless on the reason or which method to solve. I read its because the cpu is trying to boot from the sd card and has something to do with something called emmac that is terrible in the s4 so I read three methods to solve
1- Just your method
2- Cooling the emmc?

Yes, the eMMC is prone to fail/corruption on our phones, at least I think. The eMMC is the internal SD memory. Hopefully yours is just corrupt.
The cooling trick is probably only good if there is a bad soldier joint on the chip and will probably only work a few minutes as the board will heat up once turned on
I would try the debrick file as that's probably the easiest. See also Valenti's post on other Samsung device, as better write up on one (Samsung Mega maybe?) as well as by the others who originally come up with the debrick idea to get a better idea of what to do.
I guess (without researching) the method in your link is the same principle as the debrick file but may work even if debrick doesn't work as not dependant on having a matching file from phone with same bootloader (???? I don't know as haven't looked into that method)
Also you can send phone away for jtag if nothing else works

I have been searching for ever and still zero luck on finding either a way through the s4 mini nor the actual debrick file... all I could find was for the s3 all over, any help?

Did you try the two debrick images in my post dated the 22nd March in the thread I posted above?
Actually I also pulled one from my phone after I read you can generate one from Cyanogenmod phones that will also work, I will post that on the above thread also a bit later.

Oh and how do you flash that thing to recovery, How do you pull that debrick file? is really confusing me

And please pardon me if my questions are spammy or annoying, There are a whole lot of steps through it and neither google nor the forum seem to be answering it so I might just consult you for that.
From what I understand, You flash the debrick file to the sd card using this 32 bit sd flasher thing and then it just works because the booting files are on the sd card but it will not boot without it. So how can you fix the corrupted boot loader AND how can I restore my sd card back to normal, I have seen a video for it but he is using ubuntu and command lines and stuff.

The original post by @ValenteL was a file to generate a debrick image, but you need a working phone to use that.
People with phones that are already bricked have to get a debrick file from someone else. This debrick image must be put onto an 16Gig (some report success with 32gig) SD card that is formatted (so you will lose everything else on it) and then the phone will boot with it instead of internal mmc to get your phone going (you have to keep the SD in) so you can then recover data and also hopefully flash a new rom later so you don't need to always boot from SD.

Yes, that was what I understood already but thank you anyway! My question was How? on both creating the debrick file and restoring both sd card (too make it work as a readable card rather than a booting device if it does not already) and fix the phones internal memory without actually reseting the whole phone and if there are no way else to fix internal memory... to back up the whole thing.
thank you!

WANDEFUL! My phone actually viperated and showed color!

boot recovery
check boot partitions
copy from t flash
boot recovery
write 139008
reboot
and obviously reboots, thoughts?

My last two posts are the most important now, if you or any one else can answer that would be fantastic!
some notes: after searching the thing does not mention emmc nor odin at all like for some others with the same issue... just this plain text.
I had upgraded my android version to 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 so I assume that is important, thanks again and please answer as soon as you can as that would be great! thank you for every thing @IronRoo

I think the important thing is the bootloader (& pit must be the same) that if I recall was updated from the version you mention to ver 2. So you need a debrick with the ver 2 bootloader. (but I am not 100% sure about this, only read some stuff last year) My phone BL is ver 1
a guy on the below Mega thread with an I9195 did get a stop further by repeating multiple times
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600976&page=4
But still didn't fix phone fully
read next few pages, one guy used freeze fix white partial success, might be useful if you want to get data off phone.
Also another link that may offer help
but probably your emmc is bad, is my guess
gotta go now, work calls

Thats great! good luck at your work, when you are back though I need to tell you this
I have another device of the exact same model that is kikkat not rooted (kitkat will have bootloader version 2 right?) if only I knew how to get the file out and then do all the stuff again, ill keep searching since you are at work now, will keep you updated. please help about it though if you can*
so if someone say for example has android 5 on an s4 mini, he will never get his phone back to work unless some one made a debrick file for it? if the previous statments were true?
My questions are:
Extract that file from the other phone, if I managed to answer it ill tell you.
To get my SD card back to work and fix my emmc
Iam not giving up on my emmc yet though, iam sure there is a way to solve it, if not then how to fix that failed emmc?
thanks again!
