[Q] GALAXY S2 - So weird [NEED HELP] - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

SHORT INTRO: My GF's phone, I am from PH [not living in Manila] so no reliable technicians, but my Gf brought it to one, the technician flashed it but I think it was fake or something becase it says Android 4.0, but exactly looks like Android 2.3, AND the phone keeps searching for network even if sim card is inserted. so I checked it myself.
I am frustrated and spent hours trying to fix this phone. AND I DONT GET IT!! WHY??
1.) I thought usb port is broken, but it was fine, i left the phone with charger connected for how many minutes, then it went on showing the battery charging animation.
2.) so i tried to boot, I SPENT HOW MANY MINUTES and TIMES PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON and it won't boot, I SMASHED THE POWER BUTTON [not hard tho], DISASSEMBLED AND CHECKED THE BUTTON, THEN TRIED AGAIN, THE SAME THING, but then IT WENT ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THEN I TURNED IT OFF[to prepare for installation of stock rom], THEN IT WONT BOOT, SOMETIMES WILL BOOT AFTER HOW MANY SECONDS OR MINUTES BUT WTF IS THIS. <<sorry :crying:
3.) i tried RECOVERY[stock] AND DOWNLOAD, it went into recovery mode ONCE, i tried wiping it all, "reboot system now" AND IT DIDN'T BOOT, IT WENT OFF, SO I AM BACK AGAIN TO NUMBER 2 PROBLEM. THEN IT WENT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, but ODIN won't detect, I downloaded samsung usb drivers, the cable is from samsung, accessed the device manager[windows 10] and no device.
WHAT I TRIED/SEARCHED[NO LUCK THUGH]:
1.) turning it on without the use of power button [usb cable to computer, pressing volume up & down]
2.) turning it on with charger then removing battery quickly and reinserting it.
3.) i think everything, i've been searching all over the internet and here, no solution.
PLEASE! I need help. We've been planning to buy Galaxy S5 but we don't want this phone go into waste. This phone is over a year old. Is it because of the ROM? I really tried to boot into recovery but I don't understand problem number 2. PLEASE HELP! I'M DESPERATE :crying:

[Q] TP2 restarting when loading, not flashing, not hard resseting

Hello, spec's!
I have following problem since august 2010:
After ordinyry ROM (not original) upgrade have usising phone several days, then switching off phone on night, on morning trying switch it on in vain. I've trying recharge akku through cable connected to phone, it charges half of minute then phone swithes on by self(seems like power button abridget but I've checked it with tester), starting showing T-Mobile logo "Stick together" then shows Windows logo then backlight fading then device restarts, so it happen infinite till battery fully goes empty. After that I've bought new battery with independent charger. I've recharging battery with external charger, after complete I placed battery in phone so same scenario with infinite restarting was happen.
Now on phone is installed original ROM and I can't install any other- in bootloader I can install only SPL's, but other ROM's not installs (flashing process freezes on 0%), also hard reset could not completes too- after loading phone in hard reset mode I push "volume up" but nothing hapens.
I haven't any ideas, somebody can help me? Thank you all.

[Q] [Help] Defay dead - what could be the reason and how to rescue?

I've owned the DEFY for over two months, it is rooted but not flashed. Installed many apps and it had been working fine.
Today it suddenly go black when charging. Then, when pressing the power button, nothing happened. At first, when it was plugged into the PC USB port, the white LED was on. But later on, even the LED was always off.
Connected to PC via the USB cable, take the battery off and put it on again, the USB connecting and disconnecting sound was played on the PC. The Windows XP hardware manager briefly showed "Motorola USB device" and then it disappeared.
The screen is always black. Nothing seems to happen when pressing the power button, power+volume up, or power+volume down.
Please help!
I borrowed another DEFY and charged the battery to 100%. The problem persisted. The battery is good, for it can be used with the other DEFY.
Did you overclock your Defy? If yes, this might be your answer!
No. It has never been over-clocked. Just normal usage all the time.
If it can't even get to the recovery (hold volumn down) or bootloader (hold volumn up) screens, there's probably nothing can be done other than sending back for repair.

Hey guys,
luckily RSD was still able to connect to my DEFY even though it seemed dead. I reflashed the PL Froyo rom and it booted up smoothly. So be aware of the chinese rom!

[Q] Possibly hard bricked T-mobile SGS 2

Hi everyone!
I have a bricked SGS2 from t-mobile. I can't tell exactly what has been flashed to it before, because it wasn't done by me. After flashing a rom it's bricked.
At the moment I can't get it into download mode or turn it on. The screen is black.
Things I've tried and they didn't work:
1. Charge the battery in case it's disscharged. (the phone is charging the battery, but there are no indication lights)
2. Remove battery>press vol up and vol down>insert usb cable.
3. I bought a usb jig and it also doesn't work. ( I followed all instruction how to get it work)
4. When I connect the phone to the PC (with battery or without it) the PC offers me to format the drive I inserted, and every 5 seconds the phone drive gets disconected and connected again after each time windows offers me to format the drive.
5. When I press the power button- nothing happens.
Anyone could help me? Has anyone sorted this kind of problems?

Please Help! Hard bricked my Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-I747 AT&T

Hello XDA Forums!
I am a weirdo that chooses to not have a cell phone plan, and use a device with wifi to make my calls through Skype and Google Voice. This has been working for me for the past few years and my roommate just got a new phone and i asked him for his old Galaxy S III SGH-I747 AT&T.
So today while messing around with it (I rooted it, installed TWRP recovery and got it all ready for my weird set up, turning off the service and getting the apps I needed etc) I decided i wanted to remove all the bloatware it comes with, so i set it into recovery mode, using TWRP i backed up everything, set it to wipe/factory reset, and tried to flash a custom ROM onto it. I went through the steps in TWRP and chose the options i wanted etc and then when it flashed the ROM and rebooted its bricked!
OH NOES!
No charge icon when i plug into the wall. Computer doesn't see it when i plug into computer. Doesn't boot (obviously) and i cannot enter recovery mode or download mode. Been searching the webs all day, such a bummer. I tried to write a unbrick iso to my 32gb sd card with win32diskimager, remove battery, put in card, replace battery, nothing.
Tried all the button combos: Volume down + Power, Volume up + Volume Down + Power, Volume Down + Home + Power, Volume up + Home + Power
(The only thing of note is when i have it connected to my pc and press volume down and power my pc makes the "connected" and then "disconnected" noises over and over as i hold the buttons.)
Bought a USB Jig for it on Ebay for 4$, maybe that will get me into download mode, but until that comes i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
i guess if worse comes to worse i will send it to a JTAG service, but as a thrifty dirtbag getting a free phone i was hoping to keep costs down.
Thanks for reading and any input is appreciated.

I got the same problem.. I just tried to reboot in recovery but it never came back on..
What rom did you flash?
You could run debricking the phone with an sd card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

Oneplus 5t black screen unbricktool doesnt seem to work

I've got a dead oneplus 5t from my son. It was not charging anymore.. So I've replaced charging cable and battery.. Seemed to work it was charging... However it doesn't boot... No logo screen screen stays black/blank.
Tried several suggestions on this forum to get into recovery mode, fastboot mode... But still nothing. Only vibrating works after a few seconds.
So tried to unbrick with OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling_43_J.40_181105(OOS.5.1.7) and the qualcomdrivers..
I was able to install the drivers and I see they are installed in devicemanagement.. and an empty folder create for oneplus.
I charged the phone all night and was able to download the upgrade. It then says download complete and I tried to restart the phone..
Still just vibrating but nothing happens.. Seems like everything has vanished from the phone, no recovery, no bootloader, no files.
So how to proceed to get all the stuff on the phone? And maybe the displayscreen is dead, but how can I tell?
Also tried the SMT upgrade. Strange thing is the device and com port are seen in devicemanagement and active when I connect without volume up, but cannot start because it says When I try to use smt mode the program says: "This COM port is disable by user". With volume button up pressed and then connect, ledlight turns green but the qualcomdevice is grayed out in devicemanagement and it says waiting for device..
Any help is welcome. I am a noob in how to proceed on the phone however I have an IT background.
Spent already so many time figuring out .. maybe it's effortless and its for the trashbin.
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
I opened the phone again loosened all those tiny connections to battery, screen,charger, mainboard and re-attached them.. Somehow a connection seemed to be fitting allright as yI looked at it, but apparently wasn't :good:
