Hi, usually having hard reset at standard operating system or firmware will do easily without problems. Unless your Samsung Galaxy S2 has already rooted or installed with custom ROM, then some situations can make hard reset or master format make it trouble and soft bricks. Please try to do hard reset with hardware button key.
This is brill advice :)
I've had issues with S2 it just froze and I tried soft reboot and taking out battery etc. Went for hard reboot which was a bit fiddly but managed to get the green android up but it never shows a menu and eventually it just returns back to the Samsung screen. Any thoughts before I buy a new phone?
Hi, please make sure your Samsung Galaxy S2 does not getting root or use custom ROM, because that will make your phone can not recovery using standard procedure.

I'm having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2. I'm trying to delete some music from the internal SD card (on my phone). It says 'deleted' but doesn't delete.
When I used a USB cord to connect my phone to my laptop and tried to delete the same music, it said that I had to switch off write-protection. How do I do that?
Hi, basically at normal situations you can delete any files from internal SD (virtual SD) at Samsung Galaxy S2 using file manager, as far as that file is not readonly. We just worry that files is used by some applications. If you are sure everything is fine from your Internal memory, then maybe you can try (not sure it will work) to do: Copy or backup all files at that SD card to computer using USB cable, after that please use erase storage from Menu > Storage > Erase SD Card, after all files already removed then you can try to restore all files from your computer back to SD card.
