I had my OPO freeze this morning in the middle of a TWRP backup. Alas, no combinations of buttons did a thing. Since there is no hardware reset button, I had to disassemble the phone in order to get to the battery cable to pull it. This is not as easily done as a phone with a removable battery and requires patience and care (both of which are in short supply here).
It would be great to have an easier way to recover from a hard freeze like this.

If you hold down the power button (for longer than you think you need to) it should reboot eventually. I've never had to pull the cover since I learned to just wait...
10 seconds, to be accurate...

I held the power button for about a minute to no avail.
(I noticed that TWRP backups are MUCH faster if compression is not checked.)
I believe I had this issue once, but think I had to either plug in the charging cable, or make sure it was in bright light. The light thing may have been an HTC one though, but may apply here as well. The light sensor can be used to detect if it is in a pocket and prone to buttons being pushed.

Hey guys,
I got an infuse from a friend. When she gave it to me it was all stock and functional minus the fact that it would bootloop. When you would turn it on it would show samsung, turn off, samsung, turn off... About 3 seconds per on time. It would do this whenever it had the battery in or was plugged in. At first I was able to get it into download and then flash stock OEM. This fixed the problem, then I got into recovery and flashed a custom rom. All of this worked fine. Here's the problem
I tried restoring to the stock that I got the phone to before the custom rom was installed. This took 25 seconds and I knew something must have been wrong but I rebooted anyway. When rebooting I was faced with my original issues up above. Unfortunately its rebooting too quickly to put it into download mod. By the time I press the volume buttons and insert the usb it already boots and then starts over. If I do it quickly enough it goes to charge and bootloops to charge. The problem is that the phone bootloops whenever the battery is in. I don't have to press power for it to start.
Pretty frustrated and really would like some help. Thanks
EDIT: I ****ING FIXED IT!!! I swear this isn't a joke... I was reading a forum that had this problem and they all were saying they got angry and threw it/hit their phone and it booted up. Sitting there I eventually started entertaining the idea. I did a quick survey of the library I am in and... smacked it on my fist. THEN THE ****ING THING BOOTED UP!! What the hell!! SO excited. If it happens again, most efficient way is to drop the device on the top off the phone on a carpeted floor from about 2 feet

Am I looking for a replacement or what? Thanks for the speedy reply
psal may be on to something however it sounds like you are not trying download mode correctly - if you had the battery pulled and the usb disconnected it could not be rebooting.
Edit: If the power button is sticking, most likely no need to replace- here is a video of how to replace the screen, not what you are doing but the point is it shows how to take the phone apart so that you can clean the power button. Hope this helps : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WS5I0SpL6c

It reboots only when I put the battery in. So the moment I put the battery in to try and get it into recovery it starts booting immediately. It doesn't give me enough time to actually press volume up and down and then insert usb. If i do it fast enough it just boots to charging mode and boot loops to that instead of the samsung splash
Edit: I have already taken apart the phone. Not really sure what I should clean. It looks completely fine and acts similarly to the volume buttons. How would you recommend I clean it?

I am not so sure that this is a hardware issue. Why would the problem disappear when I flash the OEM but then return everytime I restore to the faulty stock. I already took apart and the power button seems pristine.
With this extra info, it is pointing more toward a sticking power button with a hardware issue still something to consider... have you tried pulling battery, install usb, hold both volume buttons (no power button) and while continuing to hold vol buttons insert the battery ?
Edit: If the issue is indeed in the faulty rom, delete it and use something different.

Not sure how I would delete the rom because I cannot boot the phone, boot to recovery, or boot to download. I did try having the usb in, holding volume and then putting in battery. It didn't work. Do you think a jig would work? Thanks
Yes, I think for such a small price it is worth a shot- best of luck !!
It would also be worth mentioning to be certain you have a good usb cable as well as a good usb port on the puter.

Pony and psal are prolly right. Try fixing your power button.
Hey guys, I've had this problem with my galaxy before where it turns off and keep vibrating and the past few times I could just hold the power button and it would finally come back on. This time my phone died and I plugged it in and it just keeps vibrating.. I searched to see if others experienced the same problem and they came across a stuck power button. I blew air into it etc while the phone was together.. That didn't work, I finally just took my phone apart and it doesn't look like the power button is stuck. I got it to come to the ATT logo sign then it just shuts off and it keeps vibrating. I got it to the odin mode but it shuts off if I try to use the volume button. I'm not under warranty, any help would be great thanks!
It's a stuck power button. You probably have to replace it. See vincom's stickies for more info and trouble shooting.

I found the sticky but when you replace the power button do you need to solder it?
I would normally say yes that's its the power button, but he states he got it into dl mode b4 hitting the vol + key, try this from the read this b4 u post sticky
33) Q. how do i test for a stuck "sticky" power button
A. TEST: NO CABLE PLUGGED IN: Remove then reinsert the battery and if the phone turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck, goto the link in the previous answer for a possible fix.
The key thing you need to establish is if reinserting the battery restarts the phone w/out u touching the power button, if so then the button is stuck

Yes sir, from putting the battery in to vibrate to try to turn on then turn off and start vibrating every two seconds takes about 9-10 seconds. I found two sites with replacement parts, http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-sgh-i727-power-button.html and http://www.partshe.com/samsung-i727-galaxy-s2-skyrocket-power-button.html Would I just take the power button of with tweezers?
The button looks soldered on. It not coming off easily with needle nose. Is this normal?

Fixed the galaxay sii vibrating problem
FIXED IT...My phone sat outside all day when it was humid and damp. I had the same symptoms of vibrating a for half a second every 3 seconds. I initially tried opening the back and using a hair drier but that didn't work. I removed all the screws and pried the shell apart reveling the button and used a can of compressed air for 20-30 seconds in 5 second bursts to blow it out. I might have tried tuner cleaner or disc brake cleaner if that didn't work, since those cleaners are or are similar to acetone which is a degreaser and evaporates quickly. (BUT USE GOGGLES WHEN SPRAYING)

Nice. I have used the compressed air too to fix this but the problem does comeback in few days so be ready to replace it at some point.
Does anyone know if mouser electronics has this?
I cannot order from etrade as I cannot ever order from there again and the other one just returns a 404 page.
Fixed that worked
So ran into this same problem on Galaxy S2 Tmobile. Tried a bunch of things like compressed air, taking it all apart etc. The thing that ultimately worked was plugging it into a Car charger. For some reason this reset the issue. I have run into this 2 x now and the first time if fixed mysteriously and this time the car charger did the trick nearly instantly.
I think this problem occurs when the battery runs completely or nearly completely down and it is turned on. Seems to be a bug with the software.
I happened to fix it by hitting around the power button with a hammer, became unstuck. Just use volume buttons to wake, and double tap status bar to sleep on SlimKat. Wouldn't really recommend this method, but it worked for me.
I have similar problems, I'm getting a bootlooping Samsung screen. I tried Odin flash stock firmware. This phone had no mods at all. I've decided to put twrp on it from Odin and flash a rom see if that will work.. How would one flash rom from Odin. I assume it's the same as the firmware.. Please help... Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have a stuck power button which is common on this device. You can get it replaced at a reasonable cost.
You don't flash roms in Odin. You flash them in the custom recovery, twrp in your case.

I'm sure there's a way to get a rom on my SD card from another source, then install it into the s2. Go into twrp and install this way.. How I'm not sure can you advise...
See what makes me think it's not the power button is when in recovery, dl mode or twrp the phone work flawlessly. Not rebooting from there at all... Hmmm

If you can boot into twrp use adb sideload to load the Rom zip. From a Windows cmd prompt type adb sideload rom.zip and then in twrp on the device use sideload. Where rom.zip is the name of your rom zip. You'll need adb on your pc. Google 15 second adb install xda, if you don't have adb.

Today, my family was going to celebrate Canada Day. I was running Root-Box *with Halo!* and everything was well. I charged up my phone to 80%. Cleared the necessary caches, resets, and then proceeded to restore to my now 20 day old ViperXL Backup. I restored and booted , everything was working well, but the phone was hot as it always is when i restore a ROM. So i went to go get ready, when i came back i turned the phone on from standby and it didn't respond. I unplugged it and did all button combinations ( volume up and down and power, volume down and power,just power). I did lots of research and I all I could find was that leave it to cool down then charge. So I left it and came back after 3 hours and it was still the same. Another finding from my research was to charge it. Now, when i do it flashes the red led. and thats all. Its supposed to go to solid red after a while but its been 3 hours and still blinking red. I tried to adb things (adb reboot, addb flash recovery <file link here>). But nothing. So now Im here hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks for reading.
Also, when i plug it into the computer, it detects installs a driver thens stops. It keeps on making connect and disconnect sounds on the computer. Not detected by adb or htc sync manager. I tried all the power cables, stock HTC, apple power block, samsung and even blackberry!

thanks for the reply it connect but disconnects. If you go to device manager it keeps refreshing as it connects and disconnects and then reconnects.

Stay away from vol up + power. It will put the phone in QHSUSB_LOAD, which nothing good will come from.
You should not be trying "all combinations" just the right one for bootloader. Make sure you are holding vol down, the press power for 5 seconds or so (do the capacitive buttons flash at all if you do that?) release the power button, but do not release the vol down button until the hboot screen comes up. Or of course, you are convinced the phone is still not responsive.
Try this with the charger plugged in and unplugged.
Make sure you charge for several hours on the wall charger, not connected to your computer.

There have been some cases of the phone becoming suddenly unresponsive like this, apparently due to hardware failure. These reports seem to be getting a bit more common as the phone is getting a bit "older" (over a year).
However, since the OP was just futzing with it (restored a nandroid), I tend to believe its not a hardware failure. And that he can still possibly recover.
But that is just a gut feeling (and maybe being too optimistic).

I tired both of your suggestion but no hboot menu. and my warranty just ended last month. ( any other ideas?
Here is a video showing what happens. I appreciate the help BTW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lzm5PKlp-E&feature=youtu.be
I was running the latest stock image (MMB29V) since yesterday on my Nexus 5 and today I used the Nexus root toolkit as always to root the device. Well TWRP flashed once and it said it copied the root files to the device. I had it in my pocket for a few minutes and after that it went into a crazy constant boot loop. It will stop eventually but if I keep the charging cable in it won't stop. I cannot get into recovery because I get the "Start" screen but I cannot advance because it reboots too quickly. I have found a few you tube videos where people push the power button like they are playing the old school game "Track and Field" but this does not work for me nor do I think it's a power button issue. I think I stupidly might have hit some kind of button combo while I'm my pocket believe it or not. I pulled the cover off and was hoping to pull the battery but Im not a fan of doing that since its not a simple task. Any help appreciated. This phone is dead to me and that is NOT good. I need to get this working.

It quickly restarts. I want to say its not a problem with the power button because it has been fine for a few years now w/out issue and only happened after rooting earlier today. Right now the only way I can even get the phone to turn on is the plug the charging cable in and then the restarting commences. Does it sound like a power button issue? Possibly but its hard to believe, I dunno. Waiting on a call back from Google tech support to see if they are any help.
It could be a power button issue. You'll have to remove the motherboard to find out.
Once removed from the housing, quickly press and release the power button several times in a row using more pressure than normal. While the motherboard is out of the phone, clean around the power button with pure alcohol.

Did NOT want to screw up my phone so I sent it to LG. Took a few weeks but it cost me 78.00 total for them to repair the power button issue. Whatever they replaced also fixed the low volume issue I was experiencing as well so it worked out.
So I was trying to make a backup with the latest twrp and I got this error code: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255.
I figured, to hell with it I'll reboot. Twrp asked if I wanted to install the twrp app, I said no. Screen goes back, never to turn on again. No button combo holding for any length of time helps. Bummer, right? I was running DU at the time.
Now I'm worried about the RMA, I hope they don't deny me after they get it back into the warehouse.

Yes I was using twrp, I was flashing test build. But it put me into a loop. U got a black screen, and if your computer won't even recognize it , you may be out of luck. I have been using rc2 I know it's not great for restoring backups, but it works good for everything else
That is so strange. I have never come across this issue before. Unfortunately, if you can't seem to get your PC to recognize the device, I don't think there's anything you can do. I guess we will have to be wary about using TWRP. I haven't had any weird issues myself with TWRP but I know others have. Here's hoping google will honor your warranty. I think they will, I don't think see them spending the time to look into what caused your phone to die so I think you'll be able to get a replacement without much hassle.
If you wouldn't mind, please keep us updated.

So far so good, sent then phone in and sold the replacement. I'm getting the OnePlus 3t instead.
