So, hello, guys. As the title says, my S2 keeps shutting down upon boot. When I turn the phone on, it goes to the splash screen, then to the boot screen, the screen darkens, then my phone abruptly shuts off with no warning. It never loads the home screen or the lock screen.
When I power my phone on while it is plugged in to the wall charger, it goes through the process perfectly. I am able to access everything perfectly. After I plug it out, then my phone will work fine for approximately 2 to 4 mins, then abruptly cut off despite what I am doing. This does not occur if I put the phone to sleep; only while the screen is on.
Can anyone give me any assistance? I've tried switching roms, from the stock rooted VM jelly bean 4.1.2 rom, to the Not Now V3 rom, to Slim Bean v7/v8 4.2.2 rom, Commotio B64, Vanir: the problem persists. Even now, I'm running CM11 (Feb 8th nightly), and I've even formatted my data and sdcard0 through CWM, nothing is working. Can anyone lend a helping hand, please?
Sounds like a bad battery.

Ok maybe you guys can help. I'm having the strangest problem.
I'm running cyanogenmod nightly 151 and last night I was using the torch widget on bright for a little while and the battery died. Charged it back up and when I unplugged it in the morning it rebooted to white htc logo screen. Booted up normally and as soon as screen times out it reboots again. It did this a number of times so I Did a complete wipe and installed an older nightly, same issue. Full wipe and installed a stable rom, same thing. Then I noticed when I leave it on the charger I don't have the rebooting problem, only on battery power, so I replaced the battery. Same issue. Then I noticed that if I constantly use the phone it doesn't reboot. Only when the screen times out. Set the time out to 30 mins and left it idle. 30 mins later it rebooted. Turned off the "screen off animation" thinking that was the problem, no luck. Flashed back to stock official tmobile rom, same issue! Tmobile is sending me out a new phone and battery but just for curiosity sake and so it doesn't happen again, any ideas on what it could be? Definately gonna avoid that torch widget in the future! Thumbs up to tmobile customer service for their no haggle "overnight me a phone for 5 bux" customer service!
To sum it up, when phone is on charger no problems. When phone is running on battery, anytime the screen goes out, either by hitting power button or by it timing out, it instantly reboots to htc logo.

Flash a fresh version..or a stable one.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
Yea I flashed 5 different ones, first I flashed back to the previous release that included a different kernel, then the stable rc1, then the stable before that, then I flashed the stock rom with root. There's nothing on my phone now except stock software and root. As soon as I hit the button to turn the screen off it reboots. The real question is what exactly happens when the screen goes off that the phone isn't liking? Its speedy and everythng works great for as long as the screen remains on. Its gotta be a hardware issue if I've tried so many different roms right? Or is there some core piece of software that nightly 151 changed that none of the other roms I'm flashing are changing?
Update: if I have music or navigation on and I turn the screen off the phone doesn't reboot until the song ends or route ends! Lol wth is up with this? It only reboots on idle? Maybe processor drops too low?
Update. Phone stopped rebooting every time the "screen goes off / all processes stopped" and now only does it very randomly, almost hardly ever. Its like its repairing itself lol. Htc cyborg! New phone should be here tomorrow. I was really hoping to figure this out though. Oh well
So, I had rooted my phone awhile back, but have not touched root or anything since doing the official Kies Jelly bean upgrade. Phone has been working fine since Getting Jelly Bean.
Two days ago my phone starting just shutting down, the only time it had done this before was while plugged into a car charger.
This time it was the home charger. yesterday It was working with no problems for about 12 hours, then when plugged in it shut down again.
this time it kept randomly shutting down. I started uninstalling apps running to see if one was the problem. It eventually worked for about and hour. Went to sleep, woke up phone was off. It would then turn on and stay on for about a minute. I was finall going to do a factory reset.
I did not get to start the factory reset before it shut down again. It slowly degraded until now it begins to boot, shows the samsung screen, then hangs at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen.
Is there any kind of odin one click back to stock I can do, or do I need to try and get a warranty exchange?
EDIT: Realized I had forgotten about stock recovery, tried to boot into it, and..... now phone won't power at all, I think it's beyond hope.
I'm your average custom ROM flasher, so I know my way around basic ROM flashing stuff.
The situation that I'm about to describe happened on:
GT-I9250 maguro running Xylon 2.1.1 (Feb28), on AK 710 kernel, with a Feipusi 2200mah battery.
The device was connected to a charger that was plugged into a wall. This is a charger that I bought a few days ago and have had no problems since.
I was browsing on xda on the device and tapped on a download link for a ROM, when there was a sudden flash at the bottom of my phone and my phone force shutdown and rebooted. Since the Gnex has the notification LED at the bottom, I don't know if the flash was a notification coming in. If it was indeed the notification LED, then I have no reason to be worried. However, if the flash was caused by the charger, then I'm worried. But I don't know the cause of the sudden flash. After the flash, the phone rebooted, but. ot stuck right after the Cylon (AK Kernel) logo that appears after the Google logo, and kept showing a black screen. In short, like this (Google logo - Cylon logo - black screen). So I pulled the battery, popped it in again, and tried to boot the phone again. The black screen happed again. So I went into CWM Recovery and did a Nandroid restore (Vanir Feb 25 v4.002b). Booted fine. But this whole thing scared me out a bit, so if anyone could tell me what happened it would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Note: I acquired this phone approximately two weeks ago, and the original owner says to have been using the Feipusi battery without problems. I'm saying this because the battery seems to be the only 'unofficial' component in the device.
Hi, this morning I was charging my phone, received a call, and phone shut off. It literally did a single ring and then off. I went to turn on the phone, thinking it was just overheated, noting it was cool to the touch. When I went to turn the phone on, it vibrated on boot like normal, except nothing was displayed on the screen. Further waiting (approximately 2 minutes) led to nothing. I attempted to power on again, with the same vibrate, same thing. I removed the charger, then the battery for about a minute. Replace battery, left out charger, same thing. Replace charger, same thing. I had been running AOKP fine previously. Before that I had been running stock AT&T 4.1.1 . I followed Tasks' instructions in his post, I'm not new to this process. I've been following him since the S2 (SGH-I777), never had any kind of brick at all. I've also compiled CM and AOKP myself before and am not new by any means to linux. But I have no clue what just happened here and no kind of recovery or bootloader is available from what I can see on the phone and through ADB. It simply will not power on. I don't have a multimeter to rule out the battery but it seems unlikely to me that in just under 8 months of use the battery died on me. I'm not a heavy user, and typically get 3 days use out of a single charge. Anyone heard anything on the grapevine?
EDIT: I put the wrong release date in the title when I went to look at his releases. It's the 7/9/2013 release.
EDIT #2: I pulled out the SIM card to place in a backup phone and I tried booting the phone again. It started up, got to the loading screen, shut off, and now its back where it was. Considering playing with my SIM in the phone to see if I can trigger anymore activity.
EDIT #3: Success, flipping the SIM seemed to trigger something, I was able to put the phone in Download successfully. Flashing new recovery now, stay tuned.
EDIT #4: When I was able to boot the phone after flashing Jiangyi's AIO (From tasks post). I immediately booted into recovery, flashed 7/20b and 7/14 gapps, looking good so far.
Boots to logo animation, freezes & the speaker makes a harsh hiss for .5 sec then off
Hi guys,
I've had no problems with my LG G3 since I got it.
I'm running stock 4.2.2 Kitkat, unlocked, bought from a retail store in Sydney (JB HiFi).
No rooting or anything else done to it.
My battery hasn't had any issues, still easily lasts the whole day.
The issue:
Today I pressed send on an SMS, the system froze for a few seconds, then powered off.
Pressing the power button did not turn it back on, so I pulled and replaced the battery and powered it on.
It starts booting, gets to the LG animation screen, it animation continues for a while, then freezes for a second and makes a loud/harsh hiss from the speaker for .5 sec then powers off.
Every time after it powers off I have to pull and replace the battery before I can power it back up
No water contact etc
What I've tried:
I've pulled the battery and left it out for 1/2 hour, then replaced the battery and powered it on, same issue dureing boot up
I've confirmed my battery is fully charged, and have tried powering it on while on battery
Removed the Micro SD card and tried to boot again, same boot issue
I've tried a factory reset, it starts to do the reset and then the same issue during boot up happens
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Update
So further to my original post:
After I left it off for about 5 hours I powered it back on and was able to complete the factory reset and boot into the Android OS and start using it again, after about 20 mins it froze up again and powered off
I took it to a phone repair shop and they advised they didn't think there was anything wrong with the hardware but was likely a LG OS software issue
Oh, and I should have posted 4.4.2 for the OS, not 4.2.2. Is Kitkat.
I'm wondering if I were to use LG software to update the OS to Android 5 if that might help? Or may make things worse...?
Upgrade didn't complete
So I tried to run the update through the LG software.
Got about 50% through and then the phone powered off again.
Subsequent retries don't even get that far, they get to about 2% and then the phone powers off.
Surely this is a hardware issue?
Ok, well, I've put it in for service...
