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

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.
My phone doesn't start...when i press the power button..the samsung logo comes on for a few seconds and the phone turns off again...if i remove the battery and insert again...the phone automatically starts without pressing the power button and the same thing happens as mentioned above...does this mean i have bricked my phone???

Check whether the download mode appears(press vol down+home+power button)....if it appears then you still have a chance to recover your phone back.

well...it seems that your batery is empty. try to turn it on with charger plugged in.
i think it's battery problem.
try this :
remove the battery from your phone
wait for atleast 40 sec
insert it
connect your phone to charger
wait till the charging icon appears
switch it on

Ahaha. No battery power. Just like customers calling HP and Dell computers. Good thing you didn't say "crappy phone"
Today morning while sending an SMS, my phone got hanged and auto-restarted.
It got hung on the boot screen.
Then when i tried to restart it again, it stopped responding.
Now I only get 6-7 vibrations when I try to start the phone and then nothing happens. Hard reset is not working either.
I had not rooted the phone.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
i know this may sound REALLY stupid and as i dont have my ONE V yet is just a stab in the dark....does it need charging at all??? or will it boot with the charger connected for about 15-20mins?
I tried that as well...
My battery was almost full before the phone died.
I put it on charging for almost and hour to see if it makes any difference. But it still wont start...
sounds like a service centre job
can u get into bootloader mode? if yes its just a soft brick u can solve it easily just flash any of the custom roms. or stock ruu
and your phone will be fine
did u rooted it?
and bfre this happened what did you do? tried changing fonts?

If, as you say, you didn't root it, then the software is probably not screwed up. Could very well be the hardware, in which case you'll have to have it repaired or replaced.
You've probably done this, but try holding the power button down for a really long time, until the buttons flash about 10 times. Then try different combinations of holding the power button plus holding the volume-down key to try getting into recovery.

he has not rooted his phone - no recovery, only bootloader.
he didn't said that he arrives at htc one logo. He cannot START his phone at all!
read again and read it good before posting stuff..
as per the problem, dude, if you put it to charge, you see the yellow led? it is turning on? if it does, then you still have hope. leave it recharged for 15-20 minutes and as you recharge it, press and hold volume button DOWN and power button, if this process goes ok you will see a white background with some text in it and a menu. this is called bootloader. if you can arrive here, you don't need to go to warranty with the device.

I tried charging it for half an hour, the led does not blink.
I am not able to enter recovery mode either. Tried pressing Volume down + Power and all possible combinations of volume and power button.
I dont know why I am not able to enter the bootloader.
I contacted HTC and they said I should give it to the service centre. Hoping that they repair it since its under warranty...
Try holding down volume and pressing power for more than 10 seconds. If it still doesn't boot into hboot you will have to take it to a service center.
Since you haven't flashed anything on to it or modified it, I'd say it's a hardware problem. Send it back for replacement.

I shut the phone down wake up in the morning to turn it back on and I get zero response. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Might seem obvious, but have you tried leaving it plugged in for ten-fifteen minutes?

Yes of course I've tried leaving it plugged in for several hours and the night before the phone was at 100% charge so I doubt battery is the issue.
Tks though
Did you try booting into recovery?

Ummm seems like u can fix it.... go bak to stock using odin as well and go back to stock and i believe cwm is going to be gone so as your root access so re-do it but this time guide yourself through a turorial(a.k.a google) and since you have to clue i think the best choice for you is to find a video tutorial in case your doubting or getting confused with the steps or sometimes to see what you did wrong that caused the phone to misbehave...

This is why I hate one-click-root kits, you get people doing things to their phones they don't understand, wreck it and come here saying "help, I don't know what do do!" Something like this you really should at least understand the basics. I hope this gets you more involved in researching what's actually happening. It's important to know what's happening to your device as well as why, that way if something goes badly you'll have an idea of how to get out of it.
Sorry, enough lecturing, let's see if we can get something going here. Give a bit more detail about what happens. You're phone is shut down, right? You hit the power button and no response, like the battery is actually out of the phone, or does it turn on and give you a blank screen? If it was a brick, I'd think you'd at least see the boot screen before everything goes wrong.
Ok, I'm going to go ahead and assume you've removed the battery. If you haven't, do so now.
If it still won't turn on, try actually holding the power button down for 30-60 seconds. I had a scary moment with my phone yesterday, rebooted it running Wicked v5 on Trinity and the screen just died. I've been running that rom for a week with just a couple of issues here and there, nothing out of the ordinary. Pulled the battery and tried again, nothing. After holding the power button down for a bit I felt a quick vibrate, then the boot logo came up. No idea why, I'm going to have to look into it.
Beyond that, I'm brand new to this phone and Sammy's Android devices so I'm still learning myself. HTC phones I could help out more with, but I'm still a bit clueless with this thing.

Yes I have taken out the battery replaced it several times. I hit the volume home and power button several times. When I do that I get a zero response nothing shows up I hear no sound its as if the phone is just completely dead. One thing I did realise is when I plug it into the computer and press the power button what would happen is it would connect and automatically disconnect
Can you get into Download mode? Volume down + Home + Power button?

Don't forget to let go of the power button when going into recovery.
Have you done what the other post said?
Hold power for about 10-30 seconds. Does it do anything? Do you feel a verrrry slight vibration?
When you plug it in without doing anything else does the computer see it in device manager? How about if you press power once? Or holding power down?
Does it register that its charging?
This may sound dumb but did you try powering up without the phone plugged into anything?

Ummm. Sorry but maybe im missing something? Your first sentence in your op says you didnt have a clue what you were doing....
And where is it supposed to infer that you've done everything already?
Imo you have been getting 'real' advice but from what I see you haven't 'really' answered anyones suggestions.
No one can help you if you dont tell us what exactly you have tried and what what happened when you did.
For example in your only response you mentioned hitting the volume and home keys a bunch of times....what exactly do you mean by this? Did you hold them while trying to power up? Volume up or down? Did you release any of them during that process, and if so which and when?
Its kinda hard to help someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing and only responds that hes done everything common sense dictates.
I seriously mean no offence but to me common sense would dictate that you not try rooting or anything if you know you dont know what you're doing.
It would also dictate that if you want further help with this you should go back and respond to what everyone suggested.
Like I said, im not trying to offend, just help.

The computer doesn't recognize any device attached to it. I've tried all the ideas listed here and I get nothing. It's as if the phone is completely dead. When I flashed the rom my battery was at 90%. I've used various roms on different phones and this was the first time I did it to my Galaxy s3 and this is the first time it's ever happened.

I have rooted my phone samsung galaxy grand 2 via odin after that flash the rom cm 11 and reboot my phone it got stuck into boot loop. Then i have done 1 stupidity again i push twrp file in that now m not able to go in recovery mode what should l i do now.
Wrong forum, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2
I don't know anything about the phone but you could try looking for the current ROM on the phone at sammobile.com and then re-flash it via Odin.
i unluged the device before dhe odin finished his job ( by mistakeee ) and now it doesnt turn on , charge , go to recovery/odin , hold down power button for 30-60-120 sec nth hapend, it has baterri 90-100 % . plss guys help me :'( i have an samsung galaxy s advance .
So I bought 2 sgh-t989 at the same time... one for me and the other for my sister
she lives in another city but whenever we see each other, I've always tried to make sure that her phone is running the exact same setup as mine just so I can always provide "tech support" for her phone
anyway, she went on some trip and afterwards, she said her phone wouldn't boot up anymore
since she couldn't get a hold of me, she brought her phone to a store to try and get it fixed (bad bad mistake)
she left the phone at the store for a day to determine how much it would cost to fix it
after being quoted $100 for the fix, she decided it was too much to pay and just took her phone back
long story short... a week later, I finally have the phone in my hand... and this phone won't boots up, i've put in fully charged batteries and when I press (and hold) the power button, it does absolutely NOTHING... not even that initial vibration when it boots up
i've tried to plug it to the computer and it doesn't get recognize
its permanently off and i can't, for the life of me, figure out just how to even boot this thing into TWRP... just so I can attempt to recover her files
SO.... my question... is this truly bricked?
do I have to break the news to her that all the pictures she took on the trip is now unrecoverable?
plug it into the computer and see what it gets recognized as. if its qualcomm823830283203 some like that its hardbricked

I can then flash TWRP thru odin, get to TWRP and load my favorite ROM.
Any GURUS, Please confirm that this is right. I remember a complicated process when rooting initially, loading root file on SD card, similar process up down ect....
But since the rom I am flashing is already rooted, is it required to go thru the gyrations. cant I just flash TWRP and flash a rooted rom?

Just Odin flash TWRP and then flash your rooted ROM.
Download mode= Volume up + volume down + plug USB into computer.

I want to know if my phone is bricked, its a Samsung glaxy sgh-T898 (but from telus) i am using a cynagenmod custom rom 10
i was using it then it went idle then when i went to unlock it back, it shut off and started to repeatedly vibrate like a pulse
so i then did a battery pull and then it vibrate and the "Samsung sgh-t898 logo appeared" for a sec or 2 and the phone shut back off and did the pulsing vibrating thing
i got the same result when i plug it into the charger and computer, even plug it in without the battery in it and pulsing vibrating happen again.
ps this had happen in the past but the phone came on like after 5 mins of, its now been hours it wont come on just keep vibrating

looks like the sticky power button. First try putting compressed air on your power button. then resort to this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310

Thanks for replying so quickly , i think you might be right about sticky power button, because when put in the battery the vibrates begins
automatically and then i try turn on then hold the power and volume keys it entered into download menu but for 2 secs then shut off again and begin to start vibrating(pulsing again)
so i guess the download menu means its not brick, will try suggestion once i get a proper torque screw driver
