perform a hard reset and see, if the firmware is not yet broken
all will be ok. ps not that all your data will lost.

remove and reinsert battery

press and hold the volume up and power, leave power when phone is on but keep holding
the volume up

in a few seconds you should be in recovery mode
scroll to wipe cache partition
press yes to comfirm

go to wipedata/factory reset and do thesame.
go to reboot.

all done

if not ok visit sammobile.com and get a firmware to reinstall.

Thanks for your help bros, if I do this will it wipe out all my information like phone numbers and pictures etc? because i dont want to wipe them out

i went to wipe cache partition now my phone screen keeps turning on and off and when i try to go back to recovery mode it will not allow me because the phone keeps turning on and off by itself? what do i do now? reply me please

Firmware seems to be broken, get a firmware with only pda and flash your phone with odin
your media will be intact.

google how to update i9100 with odin.

download firmware @ sammobile.com

The boot failure issue i have been seeing lately concerning S2 has really been giving me some fear. though i haven't noticed any problem but i don't always feel comfortable whenever i switch on in the morning, not until it boots into standby

Says who Almost 2 weeks with S2 and i still feel like a newbie, still have to search the net everytime i couldnt get a function right whereas when i buy any symbian i throw away the user guide. Nothing is easy bros, except if u are fortunate to be good at it.

The android phones are actually the easiest and most user friendly devices in existence.
Easy self repair and operation if you are not afraid.

Chei, u are getting it twisted o. No OS is difficult to use as long as u understand it. I never said Droid is difficult to operate. A manual tranmission vehicle could be so easy for someone who is perfect with it whereas it might be a lil' bit strange to someone who drives an Automatic tranmission.
I can close my eyes and do stuffs with a symbian whereas i might be lost on the UI if i do dat on Droid.

Take for example the original symbian s60 devices UI (Wont use the latest symbian OS as an example cos most of the UI was copied from other OS), it is quite simple for someone who uses a Java phone to catch up with while the uniqueness of android might turn a java phone user to a complete ''Dundi-united'' if u know what i mean.

i can not play mp4 on my s2 please help me
