[Q] Black Screen of Death?

When I try to start my G1 the display just stays black, not the "stuck on g1 screen" problem, it stays black and it doesn't vibrate like it usually does when starting it.
What I did was rooting, changing recovery to amonra 1.7.0 and installing the spl_1_33_2003.zip spl update, the update was successfully as it restarted normally and started to boot. Then I wanted to get to the bootloader mode so I pulled the battery. Since then the only Reactions are the red LED when charging and the Blue LED when getting in this JTAG-Mode or whatever.
I couldn't find any thread about this problem and I already did this whole procedure on another G1 without any problems.
I really hope, that you can help me

you should have waited for it to boot before pulling the battery
it is a 2 stage install, first is preps , then it reboots and competes the flash
you have a brick now

You should not have pull the battery, that is a no no especially during the install.
Are you able to even go into any mode? IE: camera+power, etc...

Nope, no Mode works, tried every combination, it just wont start-.-

U definitely have a bricked G1.

Well if u can't get into recovery nor bootloader its a sure sign of a brick...
How charged was ur battery? My battery died one time and it wouldn't load up as well. It went from a full charge to nothing.. just a thought....

Oh! Yea! Happens to mine last weekend. But mine was doing the splash screen loops.

Battery was about at 50%. Tried with another battery and everything's the same. Looks like I really bricked it-.-
Anyway, thanks for the help

Future reference when doing serious mods such as updating spl, radio always make sure you have a full charge as these things can drain ur battery pretty quick. And the last thing u want is for ur battery to die in the middle.....
Have u tried reformatting ur sdcard. ?

Why should I reformat it, it makes no difference at all if an sdcard is inside or not, and the sdcard is working without any problems

Weirld **** happens man, , just a simple question. Never hurts to explore all options.. I'm done good luck

It does, sometime SD Card get corrupted. And it will prevent your phone from booting up correctly especially when you SD to install your apps etc...

Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds

Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds
I have recently messed up my Captivate when I was trying to flash a ROM. My phone goes up to the white At&t sign and then makes a few sounds and stops. It also goes to the charging screen when plugged in the cpu when off. I have tried countless ways to get it to go into dl mode or even recovery mode. Ive tried: ADB vol up and down plus power with usb plugged in/battery put in, vol down usb plugged in/battery put in, vol up usb plugged in/battery put in, just vol up and down usb plugged in/battery put in, and nothing seems to be working. WITHOUT someone tellin me to use a jig can ANYBODY please help me find a way to do this. I have even pressed menu and volume down while the phone was in off charging state with green bar loading and the cpu made a sound and cpu said unrecognized device...from there I have tried to root my phone hoping it goes into recovery mod(which ive done to fix my phone before) also from there i have tried odin but no recognizance and I also have tried adb reboot download and adb reboot recovery. NOTHING WORKS...someone please HELP ME!
thanks in advance

What rom were you trying to flash?

why SO resistant to someone telling you to make/buy a jig? its a very easy thing to make and it will solve your no download mode issue in seconds. if nothing else will get you in download mode a jig will for sure (unless your usb port is broken) you can try and exhaust all other solutions but after you've ripped all your hair out build a jig.
its like trying to dig a ditch with a garden spade when you have access to a back hoe

Good point
stud u really make a goop point about it being easier to buy a jig than to pull ur hair out. Which if this kid really was pulling his hair out he shouldn't have been doing this at all. But, I am also having this same problem. I was using a CM7 build and it worked great until i tried to install the gapps. then it went crazy. It rebooted itself and went through the Cyanogen Mod first screen then would get stuck on the CM7 blue android on skateboard bootscreen. If I touched the screen at the bottom right it would vibrate for some reason. Shortly after realizing I needed a jig for it I decide to buy a new one cause at the time I didnt know if I could properly make one. So I've kept my first captivate still trying to find a non-jig method. I recently taught myself begginers adb on Windows XP OS but I am very much a noob except for rooting and flashing. Any help of yours would be great anytime. Thanks,
Matt

Shows that youve been a member since Dec-2010 so Im assuming that you really did try everything because you have read and read and read (riiiiiiight!?) and without telling us whether you tried to flash a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM I'd sugguest that you buy a JIG. Its really the best solution and the less time consuming if you cant think of anything else to try. You can order one or make your own...literally took about 30 minutes for me to get my phone to a place where i can work with it....a trip to the radioshack and making the JIG and back home.
If you are making requests on specifically NOT to tell you to do it a certain way then you may have to accept that you might have to solve this problem on your own, especially if you said that you tried everything except the one thing that you cant do (which is what we might suggest) and probably will fix your situation.

So i re-read after making my first post to this. I've bought my 5th Cap. now and have quite a bit more knowledge than before. So my question is. If I've completely bricked my 3rd cap... No battery charge screen and all will a jig still work for me to get into download? I was tryin to come back from cm7 but something went wrong.... I really don't need the extra phone but it would be nice to have my back up

If the screen doesnt turn on at all and there is no charge screen or recognition at all of usb than it is more likely then not hard bricked.

Follow every step but got stuck when it trying to flash and stop at 20% just like when I update using LG software. Order new battery hope fixing the problem. My first LG android phone can't return bought it on craigslist

Hopefully the battery will help...good news is if you can connect and start the flash each time it is not bricked...i have not seen this problem posted before so doubt it is hardware...does adb see it...if so i would try to wipe system and data and reflash...i would also pull sim and sd card before flash to see if that helps ?

Replace the battery with new and same problem, my phone doesn't even read my AT&T sim card.
Any button that I can do hard reset?

I had this same problem is your phone not turning on or just not downloading the update? I bricked my phone installing the update and it can be fixed but if you having problems with the connection during update you gotta keep trying it will go through. If it wont turn on at all there is a fix.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk 2

This is the problem:
1. I bought new phone on Craigslist running 2.2 and everything working.
2. Connect to PC and set up driver, software etc.. there is an update so I did.
3. Got stuck about 17-20% and message disconnect and re-reconnect etc.. and I did.
4. Ever since I can't t urn it on unless connect to a charger.
5. I will not read SIM card and kept saying reorganized when check on setting and mobile network.
I am stuck here cause tried so many time. Also, phone turn off with full battery charge but next morning when I turn on completely drained. I think software screw up some how during the initial upgrade. Just don't know how to fix it

OK try this take your battery out and plug it into your computer and hold the volume down key until you hear or see your computer recognize it. It should beep a couple times. Be sure to leave your phone off this whole time. Open up your LG support tool. Once it says your connected open the customer support tab. Click on "Recovery Phone." Enter your phones info and click the check button. It should take you through the steps from there. I had the same problem and had also bought it from craigslist. The good news is even if this doesn't fix it, your phone is less than a year old and can be sent to LG for a fix or they'll send you a refurbished phone. They will want a reciept but if you don't have it just tell them you tossed it. Same for the box if you don't have that. They will do it just start getting angry if they give you the run around. I was freaking out just like you LOL. I couldn't find anything on the web and the LG lady was just as stumped as me... I just happened to try this before I sent it in and it worked. Let me know if you have any luck.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk 2

As far as the update goes I eventually did get it to work. Just keep trying. I plugged it in to try again one time and it said my phone was already updated. I went and checked and sure enough it was. The visual change isn't dramatic your signal bars turn green and you get some more bloatware like a 3d game converter. The reason for this is the phone has a custom LG UI and will not adopt the gingerbread UI. Don't freak a lot of people insist its not GB but it is. There is a lot more to a OS than the user interface.

Warranty thru LG or at&t? You mind give a little more. I didn't even know LG has a warranty in US?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

The warranty is through LG at&t wont do anything for you cause they will know you got it off CL. You'll need your imei and your s/n from under your battery. I wouldn't tell them you got it off CL. The only way this wont work is if the previous owner registered the phone with lg which is unlikely since they didn't even have the GB update. Call 18002430000. Again do not tell them you got it from CL. The phone is under a year old and they will do it for you. If it has to be told that it isn't yours say you had a step brother or friend give it to you. They will want a reciept but you can tell them you tossed it all and your imei Ans s/n will be enough. Also tell them it happened using their support tool. Good luck.

I got panic and it's in local shop if they can repair it but will take it back and try. Thanks.. at least someone here tried to help me... the link flash back to stock ROM didn't work for down load so I can flash it. I even root and flash custom ROM still didn't work now I want to flash it back to stock... if you can just help me a little please

download mode: I got a little confused cause someone told me take battery out connect phone to PC and put battery back. Yours didn't mention anything about put battery back in

Yeah when I did mine it wouldn't turn on at all even when it was plugged in so I think i left my battery in and did it bc it wouldn't respond to anything. I would try to get it to recognize with the battery in but if it turns on after you do plug it in then it will need to be out. You can try to put the battery back in after the computer and the LG support tool recognizes your phone bc after it gets done it reboots. I'm not sure if the battery is needed for it to work but mine was in but you can try it multiple times with it in and out. I freaked out too I had just bought the phone off CL and plugged it in to update and it had the connection failure a couple of times and then poof nothing no vibration no boot screen nothing. The LG people tried getting me to do a hard reset and when that wouldn't work she told me I would have to send it in and that it was still under the manufacturers warranty. I was desperate to say the least so I tried all kinds of combinations. The key is to get your pc to recognize your phone while it is off. If you can do that with the battery in I would try it that way first. If you don't have the box you will need to copy down the phones info, (IMEI and S/N) which is under the battery, for the recovery phone part of the support tool. It worked for me so I hope you have some luck with it. Also I would consider waiting until the ghost call thing gets fixed before you go to gingerbread. If I had known I would have stayed with froyo until they fixed it.

Ok I tried everything and it doesn't work. I now need to flash back to stock rOM using recovery. I need the file Thrill Stock ROM zip file and the link on forum about flash back to stock no longer working

I had the same thing happen to me. U hold down "volume down" and power button, when the phone is off and that will put it into android dfu mode. Now select factory reset and Press menu button.

Volume down for recovery and so on. Volume up for download from tool.
If your doing the recovery method that TheDarkLestat setup then your gonna need to do the software setup and drivers step by step. Assuming you have done that. Remove the battery then plug the USB in and quickly hold down the pwr, and vol UP till it vibrates then let go. Start the loader and place the battery back in while its doing its thing . Then don't touch it till its done.
Only simply way I can think of to repair a soft bricked thrill. As long as it loads to recovery or download then our phone Is fixable. You might be able to politely ask TDL to remote in and provide a fix. He was doing that for a lot of us for a while. Though if your not gonna donate for his time then don't bother lol.

[Q] After Changing Language, Vivid won't power on!

Hello, all! Needless to say, I have a problem. Here it goes: Today I factory reset my HTC Vivid, Unlocked Bootloader through HTCdev, perm rooted with the JBear All-In-One-Tool, installed CWM with the aforementioned tool, S-Off'd with the JBear tool and wire trick and unlocked my sim. Once all of this was done, I downloaded the app called "Freedom" (Free In-App purchases for AppStore (iOS 5, iOS 6 with JB, OS X) and Google Play), got the error "Freedom cannot be installed on this device," followed the advice to "Download localepicker and select russia or pyschh at the bottom of the app list!!and you are solved with all errors...." It worked and had Freedom working, but my phone was kind of laggy and I powered it down to restart it.
Here comes the problem: I try to power my phone on and nothing happens...nothing at ALL! I tried holding the vol down and power button...nothing. I have a back up battery and tried that with the same result. I removed the battery for about 10 minutes and came back to it, inserted the battery and tapped the power button and the backlight came on to a blank black screen and wont do anything else. I tried to plug it in to the computer via usb and flash the RUU I had on hand (just in case I wanted to quit failing at the wire trick lol) and I got a crazy sound. No the normal "successfully plugged in a usb device" sound, but a 3 tone (2 mid, 1 low) sound that reeked of rejection. I don't know what to do now obviously. I'm here! Any help would be loved and appreciated.
Thank you all in advance,
Mister Gilmore

Thank you, I appreciate anything you may or may not be able to find. I really want to avoid the HTC send seeing that it will cost me dearly. Warranty = Over.

Couple questions to out rule some conclusions
1: do you use set CPU or any over clocking app? If you did what were your configurations?
2: when you turn on the phone and the black screen appears can you hear any notification sounds or calls? ( try calling and texting yourself )
3: what ROM are you on? ( can't see from the xda mobile app )
4: how old is your vivid?
5: does the phone turn on using the original battery instead of your backup one?
6: does it charge?

1. No CPU or overclocking app.
2. There is no sound at all. I tried calling...no dice.
3. ICS 4.0.3
4. I've had it since November of last year (brand new) but I only used it until December. Then I didn't use it again until this December, so it's only been active only 2 months.
5. Both batteries power on to the backlit black screen, no vibration no sound, no wait. Even after i remove the battery, pressing the power button instantly turns it on. No 3-4 second wait like normal.
6. I can't tell if it's charging. No Orange/green light, but plugging it in turns on the screen (black/backlit).
Thank you so much.

Oh, no siiirr! I do not involve myself with piracy. I found Freedom after Google Play told me I had to repurchase certain items that got wiped out when I unlocked my bootloader. The statement on the page I got it from (I don't want to post the site seeing that I don't know if it would violate XDA policy) says:
"This software is not a Crack. No services or software were damaged. Freedom doesn't interfere in work of Google servers.
Remember: Freedom launcher was made only for legally installed applications. You can use this application to get content, already included in these apps. Please do not pirate Google Play apps."
As far as charging the battery, I had my back up charged fully and my regular batt was about 50%. My girlfriend has a vivid and the batteries work fine in her device.

Sorry to say but I think you are looking at a brick here dunno if its soft or hard though.....best to call up HTC as if you can't even get into bootloader then there isn't anything you can do

New information: As I was attempting what you mentioned, instead of the instant "2 mid, 1 low" sound from my computer when I plugged the phone in, it was delayed about 4 seconds. ALSO, WHen I attempted to run the latest RUU WITH the battery, I was told my battery was below 30%. Charge battery and try again. When I attempted the same thing with no battery at all I was told that the device could not be found. Is this a good thing that something remotely recognizes my device? Is there hope still?

Just buckled down and called HTC. I'm Still under Warranty. So I'm gonna send it in Monday. Thanks to you all anyway.

Same issue
I'm having the exact same issue with my Vivid too. My phone has been S-off and all that fun stuff for a long time so I know that has nothing to do with it. Order of my actions leading to it are as followed.
Using TWRP I did a factory reset/wipe then flashed from Paranoid Android 4.1.2 Rom to the PACMAN 4.3 Rom, I have used the Pacman rom briefly before so I don't think its the actual ROM that has anything to do with it.
Instantly upon boot my 32gb sd card became corrupt and unusable right after finishing installation. I reboot my phone to see if it was just a hiccup and would come back. That was it. Now I just get the lit black screen with nothing else. All 3 batteries have a full charge. I keep two fully charged then once the current is drained completely I do a swap to maximize battery life. Let it die 100% followed by an uninterrupted charge. I was really hoping to find an answer here. But to read the phrase "This is a new issue I've never heard of" scares me. I've tasted the android sweet life... I can't go back to a crappy flip phone now. :'( I'll keep looking around and if I catch on to something I'll keep you posted of my findings.
So I just tried plugging into my computer, and I got a driver installation window. (Yes my HTC drivers are installed) Its looking for drivers for a device named "QHSUSB_DLOAD" I have never seen that before, even without HTC drivers.

Qhsusb_dload is the universal sign for bricked... I don't know what causes it... But... The known fix is JTAG.... Very sorry for your loss

[Q] Htc Nexus one bricked?

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

If you can't get your phone to bootloader, recovery or os then your phone is bricked. You could hope its as simple as a bad battery but chances are you would need JTAG to get it running again and at that point you are best of just getting a new phone.
Sorry for the bad news
