[Q] Samsung Galaxy Stuck in Bootloop ?

Hello peeps from XDA...
As it's obvious this is a Skyrocket S2, it's not mine it's from a friend....
My friend had ICS and rooted his phone in that version, it's his first time having an android ( he moved from apple ) and it seamed like samsung released JB for his phone ( he had the stock rom ) and he updated, after the update his phone would reboot and stay vibrating...but the problemed seamed to stop.
today he got a txt and his phone rebooted showed samsung logo and then rebooted again and stayed on vibrating every 2 seconds...
i have a factory cable on hand but it doesn't get the device on download mode it only vibrates every 2 seconds and it doesn't turn on the screen, it does the same with the battery placed on the device...
when the battery is placed without the factory cable, it load the first samsung logo, then the second ( samsung logo shinning) and reboots to start vibrating every 2 damn seconds ( it's very annoying ) also i think that apart from vibrating it makes a sound too...
it's not a sticky power button, i removed the back of the housing and connected the phone and the problem persisted.
i'm not very sure what it has, after the JB update and the first problem i showed him how to place the device in recovery mode and the device was able to enter to recovery mode but today after that txt ( whatsapp ) it's dead :/...no idea how his device got like this ? maybe after the update ?
so, can anybody tell me what can i do if i can't get to the download mode and neither the recovery mode, i'm thinking about buying a USB Jig for it since my factory cable is for a kindle fire, but i test it on a samsung galaxy Xcover and it was able to put the device on download mode i'm not sure if the config is not working for this one...
any help is welcomed and thank you all.

Stuck power button. Jig won't do anything.

Pulling the back cover off and powering the phone doesn't rule out a sticky power button, which it still sounds like is the issue.
From the stickies:
31) Q. will a usb jig unbrick my skyrocket
A. no, only jtag repair will fix a hardbricked phone that has no signs of life, look HERE in the info section for a company
no signs of life(nsol)=hardbricked
32) Q. why does my phone not start and just bootloops and/or vibrates every couple of seconds
A. could be a "sticky power button", read the next question and the info section in the 1Stop 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
34) Q. how do I replace the power button
A. If you have determined that's its a stuck power button read post #16 PROCEDURE ON REPLACING POWER BUTTON, on that thread there are pictures b4 that post

Yes, it's stuck. You'll eventually figure that out.

[Completed] Sony Xperia Tablet S SGPT1211 not responding to reset/power comands

Hello,
I think I might be at the end of the road with my tablet. I've never rooted it or tampered with it in an way, however yesterday it locked up so I did the usual soft reset (hold power and vol+ for 10 seconds) I then turned it back on and the sony logo popped up, but there it just hung. If I press and hold the power button it switches off, a brief press on the power button brings it back on in the same state. So I go Googling, including looking at threads on this site, all seemed to advise to try to get the Android recovery menu up. on the Sony this is done by holding the power and vol+ and then releasing the power button (only) when the son logo appears (this process to be started when the tablet is off) so I did this, and no response at all. Worse than that, where it would turn on and instantly hang, it now doesn't turn on at all. Hooking it up to my PC I can see the device in device manager, but it tells me my usb device has malfunctioned.
At the moment, my thoughts are to open it up, to:
1. Check that the power/volume buttons aren't stuck in some way (preventing the boot command being given correctly)
2. Remove and resolder if necessary internal battery to force a power cycle.
3. Bin it and get something new (it is 2.5yrs old so no big loss i suppose)
Any ideas where to look or similar experiences?
Thanks

[Completed] how can i fix my samsung galaxy fit that suddenly won;t boot.? Please help.

When i plugged it to the charger I can't see the screen that tells me it's charging. then, while plugged onto the charger, when i press and hold volume+, power button and and the center button at the same time, the screen says "RAMDump Mode (Arm9 Mode)". and when i unplug the charger my phone went off. Then, when I plug it again and try pressing and hold the volume down, power button and the center button at the same time the screen went on to an yellow android logo with "downloading" word under it. i would wait but nothing happens. then i unplug it again it will turn off.

[Completed] GT-N7000 stuck in both Welcome & Recovery mode!

Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful
