Hello there,
The other day my S2 Meteor network (Irish) began to turn itself off etc. and it got stuck in the loop.
I managed to start it in safe mode and do a reset and this fixed the problem, once. I tried soft and hard resets, which gave me no joy. When I went into the menu from holding UP Button, Home Button and Power Button, to try and wipe the phone, it froze on that menu before I could select "Wipe Device." Now it won't even get into that menu, it's just stuck on the loop. I can however get into "Download Mode."
I bought this phone second hand about 3 weeks ago and it had been perfect the first week.
I have not done anything to the software etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
