OMG! That’s Gone Man; this is what I said to myself when I early this morning Playing with my Phone and Bricked it Almost. And I don’t know, whether to Put my experiences here or whatever worthy, It happened to me all of sudden since 1-1/2 years SII Experience and Luckily I Foresee the Solution and situations like this. The solution is not much complicated. Firstly, narrow down the problems you are facing because of Soft bricked or Infinite Boot problems. Only Few to Narrow though Luckily 🙂 -> Is your phone stuck at Boot logo or Battery Logo? -> Is your phone Rebooting just when connected to Power Supply unit -> Is your phone able to reboot into Recovery Mode (Volume UP + Power button) ? or Just Download Mode (Volume Down+Power+Home Button) Speaking in context to Samsung Galaxy SII -> Have you tried pulling out your battery and hold your breath and anxiety for minimum about 15 minutes? and tried rebooting now after Battery Insertion?

If you played with Kernel and It lead to ROM un boot problems, then Old working kernel will help you recover your phone in seconds away work; Which will be This Post teaching how to do it. If your phone doesn’t go to Recovery mode or Download mode;( See above instructions on how to Go to them using Phone Hard-switch Buttons) then it’s just your confusion state, give it a 15 minutes Battery out time for your phone to get back to normal cases, where  you can see At-least download mode later on… So If you just stuck at infinite boot problem or whatever, 15 minutes battery out will isolate the problems.  I am so hardly stressing out the Battery out time, because it will help the ROM memory states to clear allowing such time.
