HELP My phone doesnt work-Battery dried out during ROM installation

During installation of ROM update, my phone stopped and it doesn't start.
I think it is because of battery.
There wasnt enough battery and i think it dried out.
Now I know that it had to have at least 50% of charge but it is too late for that. (i had stg like 40% of charge)
Is there any way to charge it and install new ROM?
I tried to charge it during the night and nothing happened.
also I removed the battery during one day and I tried charge it again and it didnt work either.
please help.
Thanks

if it wont even start? i dont know, you tried get into bootloader? hard reset?

i cant get into bootloader or do hardreset. when i plug it to charge, i dont get any light. i tried also removing battery and plugging directly to charge to start it like that and do different kinds of reset but it didnt work.

so you dried your battery? lol

yes but it supposed to start if it is only a battery problem when it is plugged to charge, isnt it?
i think i flashed the bios or stg like that.
is there anyway to save it, to reinstall whatever it is?
thanks

From what I remember was that if you're lesser than 50% of battery it won't let you continue the flashing. So I'm quite positive that it is not battery issue.
I tried once flashing at 48% and it says my battery is less than 50%.

find a friend who has a fully charged blackstone battery, borrow this, and try do a hard reset.

That is not the issue when you flash in bootloader.

Yes. This is definitely a good suggestion. Also see if you can boot into bootloader and then install the rom again.

just charge your phone overnight and flash via sd card in the morning

If you don't have a friend with a Blackstone then head for a Phone shop (that sell them) and ask if you can just use the battery from their DEMO model for a few minutes. Pop it in and try a hard reset. At least you will n=know if you have a dead battery or not.

You don't need to borrow someone elses battery. Take out battery and connect device to charger without battery. Phone should still turn on, enter bootloader, hard reset etc. If you cannot do any of this then its not a battery issue

i know that is not a battery issue now. i tried everything including removing the battery and using with charger. but still i cannot turn it on.
i just cant get into bootloader or do a hard reset.
but i dont have any idea about the problem. i think it is more complicated but i dont know what it is
thanks

Are you able to do anything with phone? When you connect device to charger with/without battery does led light come on? Does phone make any sounds as if turning on/booting up but screen is just black?
If you are unable to do anything with device, try taking battery out and leaving device overnight, then re-insert it before trying to turn it on again.

i have already tried taking battery out and leaving for 2 days. it didnt work either.
i think i needto find out how to install bios to my phone.
i dont know if there is a bios for phones.
is it possible to install stg / bios when we cannot get into bootloader or do a hard reset ?

There's no BIOS on the phone per say, there's a comparable portion of firmware, but normally it can't be upgraded/replaced if the phone is not booting.
Your best bet is to send it to repairs, make up a reason why it failed (e.g. stopped working unexpectedly, never turned on after removing the battery) and hope they will fix/replace it under warranty terms.
If you are into having some intimate relationship with your phone, look around for Blackstone JTAG.

My Note..She is Dead..

I had just installed CM9 v2 last night, was working fine, installed all apps, everything as normal. Phone was about 25% charge before I went to bed and put it to charge.
Woke up this morning, the alarm didn't wake me up..the phone is dead, won't turn on, can't hear any sounds, can't even see the screen flicker to show some sort of life, just dead.
Tried charging on another charger just incase, no go. Pulled battery out, tried going into download mode/CWM with nothing. Tried connecting to PC with PC-Odin and it doesn't detect a phone connected.
I don't think its the ROM because it was working fine with no hickups, I think it's hardware related, but just wanted to check before I send it back...
Sad day...

Try charging battery up with a external wall charger it worked for me when I was bricked and needed to reset counter

Yeah thats what I had it on overnight, i dont have a external battery charger unfortunately so I can't tell if the battery is just plain dead or not.

If possible try using another battery thats charged...hopebits ur batt tats faulty rather than the phone...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I don't know of anyone else with the same phone, I will try check the voltage on the battery when I get home see if it's that

Voltage is fine...looks like a dead phone

Would a jig revive it?

Try, jig works if for some reason your phone is not being able to get into download mode, but the way your phone was dead, looks like it is a 50-50.
But I think you should head to samsung service.

[Solved] Bootloop (orig. firmware/no flash brick!) shows up only empty battery symbol

Heyho,
i got a very weird problem with my:
GT-I9000 Firmware 2.3.3
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427
[email protected] #2
Buildnummer
GINGERBREAD.XWJVI
If i put in my battery OR my usb cable it doesnt even come to the boot screen with this white "Samsung Galaxy..." font. It only shows the symbol of an empty battery and seems to restart to show it again and again.
Recovery Mode is not possible, but Download Mode. If I use Odin in download Mode i can root the device...its already rootet, but the sideeffect is, if i click on "auto-restart" it does really start android sucessfull !!!!
If i use the normal shutdown i can't start it the normal way. If i use restart options i.e. from CRM or Titanium Backup or whatever...it restarts.
I really tried everything i found in these forum:
1.) i cleaned the hardware by letting it rest 7 hours in pure alcohol. After 3.) i used a teeth brush to clean the MicroUsbPort.
2.) i wiped all data and the cache using CRM and flashed my phone with CRM to CM9 nightly from today (very nice feel and look, but the problem still existed)
3.) i wiped all data again and flashed my phone with 3-part stock GB 2.3.3 (of course with the 512 pit + repartition before) using Odin3 1.85
i'm trying now the whole 48 hours, i don't know what to do now.
Haven't seen that problem in any forum (maybe to blind?) and am really desperate
a screenshot is attached

Does this show when phone is turned on?? ???
Because this battery icon should only appear when your phone is OFF.
Does the battery still charge even if the icon appear /disappear.
Have tried deleting battery stats from recovery(do it when battery is fully charged)
Do u use an app called "no moar power"

Without to press the power button, the phone starts to show up the battery screen. After a few seconds, black screen, then battery screen, and so on.
I can only start Download Mode directly..nothing else appears

I'm trying to fix this problem ~48hours now. With all the flashings and tryings, the battery seems to charge, just without to show it to me. It would definitely already be empty if not.

I had this problem a long time ago. I don't remember want i did to make it go away and it didn't bother me because it only happened when the phone was off and charging. Otherwise my phone was working perfectly when booted. But it did go away after a while. Try not to flash any rom for a week and see what happens.
Sorry i can't help u with this.

hm i hope so, what did you make in this time when your battery was empty? how did you boot?

My phone did charge. But when the phone was off. The battery icon was coming and going.
I thought that u could charge the phone.
But if u can not charge the phone that is bad.
then i think Samsung is your only choice.
Anyway i hope u will get it fixed, because its a lovely phone. I got 2 of them myself.
Best of luck

I am having a similar problem. as of last night the battery ran quite low and powered off. when plugged in the battery showed empty and kept resetting itself to empty battery screen. unplugged, it bootloops at devil kernel screen.

Sorry stupid q
Does the phone still get charged.
if not.. try remove battery for an hour and plug in.

Holy sh1t ! Today i was wondering about Kies now recognizing my phone again. So i shutdown my I9000 and could start it the normal way! The problem fixed itself.
You were absolutely right about the just-wait-and-see-what-happens-tactic.
Made my day! Saved 100 bucks for a new I9000 mainboard.

optimus black doesnt come on unless charger is plugged in

hey guys, my rooted 2.3.4 stock gingerbread optimus black doesn't come on unless plugged in to the charger. the issue started 3 days ago when i was playing virtual tennis sega and it was connected to the charger. at first my phone got very hot and then it restarted.i continued playing the game after it restarted and it later got hot and again went off, but this time blinking as it went off. i removed the battery and put it back but it remained same. i later removed the battery for a whole day and inserted it back the next day but it remained the same. i later plugged it to the charger and it came on and booted all the way to my home screen. i could even use the phone normally, but anytime i remove the charger it goes off. also, anytime i put on the camera while its plugged in it goes off and shows the battery icon charging. i have done a factory reset but its still the same. please help me.

Try another battery
I think it might be loose or dead
If it was software...it would have turned on

could be your battery, hard to tell though, what if it's pluged to the PC?

I had the same issue.. i lost the warranty due to "bad use" and send the phone to a repair center.. It has a broken wire of the USB connector.

If your phone still turns on while pluged to the computer you can use smartflash to go back to stock rom and this will get you back to warranty

phone still wont come on without charger

Need Help Repairing

I posted a while ago about my N7000 dying randomly one day and getting stuck in an infinite reboot cycle and while I was flashing it to fix it, a friend threw a small foam ball at me which hit the USB cable and unplugged my phone. After that it doesn't even try to turn on.
I tried calling Customer service after it broke in hope of getting it fixed through Samsung USA, but they basically told me to go F myself since it was an international phone and wasn't 'theirs'. Cool Samsung, Cool.
Is there anything I should try first before deciding to buy something to try and fix it? If it is a cheap fix (<$50) then I would try to fix it.
Do you think it is the motherboard that is broken? Since it was disconnected while flashing, or would more than just the motherboard be broken?
I've been charging the battery and am going to check to see if there is any charge with a multimeter later this week to make sure that it isn't the battery giving me trouble, but I figure that it is not since the battery had been working fine when I was attempting to fix it.
Here's the orignial thread when I was first trying to fix it:

Try to pull out battery, then plug in USB jig and put battery back and wait a minute to see if it enter download mode.
If the screen still black, unplug USB jig and check if it is recognised by Odin.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both, it doesn't enter download mode, and Odin sadly doesn't recognize it either. And just to make sure it wasn't my USB or computer, I plugged in my working android phone and Odin recognized it.

Are you sure your battery is charged?
If yes I think that only JTAG will help. Sorry...

I'm pretty sure. I'm going to bring my battery to my lab tomorrow and check to see if it has a charge. Sadly none of my friends have a Note that I could borrow their battery from. So if my battery isn't dead when I test it tomorrow, I will look into JTAG. If it is, then I'll look into buying a new battery.
Thanks for the advice again!!
