Help help! galaxy s2 wont start

[the04dude]

I'm trying another firmware and old version of odin and its taking a while at the same point (nand write start) is that normal? or its just stuck?

Hi my friend were you ever able to get this working with an earlier version of firmware?

I can't get to recovery or download mode because my home button does not work. What do I do?

# Won't connect to Kies. It says "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0". It used to connect
# I get stuck on the logo (AT&T) screen. Please help.

{Assuming that you've already tried taking out your battery and holding down the power button for 10-15 seconds before replacing the battery and turning the phone on}
Try this:

Simultaneously hold down the Volume UP button and the Power button for about 5 seconds.

This should force a soft reset; no data wiped or deleted.

What version is your firmware? If you've got version Android 4.3 or higher you need Kies 3 which you can get HERE.

Have you upgraded you phones OS since you last tried to use Kies maybe?

Hello and welcome to Android Forums saber0102!

Sorry to learn that you are having problems with your Galaxy S2.

Unfortunately, if you, "cannot power on", your device there is very little that can be done for it except a visit to a Samsung Service Point as all other options, Download mode, Recovery mode, Factory reset, all require a device that can be turned on I'm afraid.
