I've had my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 since about December of 2011. Today I had it randomly restart on me while I was at work. That's happened to me before but today I have a unique situation. The phone is stuck in a continuous cycle of restarting. It shows the Samsung logo, then the T-Mobile 4G splash screen and then back to the start again. That's all it does. I thought I'd try loading the stock ROM through Samsung Kies. The thing is... I can get the phone into download mode but it doesn't stay there unfortunately. It simply keeps restarting. The device was rooted but was running the latest stock T-Mobile ROM at the time. I did a wipe via recovery mode when I managed to get in there but... I'm not sure what else to try. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might have.

 

Unfortunately the phone very quickly reboots before I can do anything.

 

I've tried both. I'm very lucky to get the phone detected by Odin but unfortunately the phone reboots before it can start flashing the firmware. The phone has been rooted and that's something I did at my own risk so I'm reluctant to bring it in to T-Mobile.

 

Unfortunately I cannot stay in recovery if I manage to get there. It just restarts.

 

Anyhow.. I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and started the warranty process. I don't remember thanking you for your help but thank you.. it is greatly appreciated.
