hi,
My wifi was broke in my G1.
I want to change daughterboard -> this little board with wifi, usb port ect.. but there is a little battery in this board.
Can I change it without this battery (it was broke away) ?
does the new board not have the battery? if not you can swap it, just a little solder holding it in place
it was taken from old G1. during putting out this board the battery was dropped out.
Yesterday i try to put this board with wifi in my G1 and I think I broke the phone.
When i click "power" the display shows fastboot for 1 second and nothing else. auto-turning off.
after thet I change board for the old one (with broken wifi) but there is the same problem
turn on -> display show fastboot for 1 second -> auto turning off.
Nothing
Looks to me as a problem with power, i.e. either your battery is completely empty and you have to charge it, or you might have somewhere a shortcut ...
if you plug your phone into your computer or ac outlet with the power to the phone off will the red led light come on? if yes then wait until it is green and then try to restart it. also if your phone goes straight to fastboot? is it possible the small board connected to the daughterboard might need to be swapped as well? as in the back arrow is constantly be pushed when you power.
try a little more testing and report your findings
I plug in and charge phone until green led come on.
but this didn't help.
I can't power on with back arrow because fastboot shows for fraction of a second.
I don't have another motherboard to try to change itd.
Is it possible, that one of tape (which is connecting boards) is broke and there is effect like this ?

I am looking at trading for a Bionic, however it has a problem. The guy I might trade says it wont turn on for him. If he plugs it into USB it will get a white LED, cant remember if he said it blinks or not.
I am quite familiar with modding phones as I have a Fascinate running 4.0. As such I have a lot of software. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas.

Yeah its Superbricked(battery dead, AND Stuck on "Fastboot Flash Failure" or some other "Failure". All you need is a new battery and Follow These Steps to get to stock. There is another way to charge a battery.
1. Get a spare USB Cord.
2. Cut and strip the end down(the end you stick in the phone)
3. Strip it. Give it at least 2 inches.
4. There are 4 wires. Black, Red, Green and White. Ignore the Green and White and strip the plastic off the Red & Black until its just the wires.
5. On the back of the battery there is a "+" and a " - ". Black is negative. Red is positive.
6. Connect wires accordingly. Use the OUTSIDE slots not the middle.
7. connect USB Cord to computer or wall charger and let it charge.
I HAVE DONE THIS TO CHARGE MY BATTERY IT WORKS. I did fold the wires a little to make it stick(more like jam it in here) and used a fingernail to push it to those two sides in each slot(you'll see what I'm talking about when you look at the battery).
YouTube link.
PS: Don't leave it on there for an extened amount of time(the longest I had mine on was about an hour because you will need some juice to flash to a stock rom).
So my situation is a bit different. I have a Bionic completely stock, just performed a factory reset via the menu options on the phone. It was on and working with the set up screen. It was not active and therefore couldn't go past the setup screen.
Now, my 6 yr old nephew took the phone. Had it for a couple of days, took it to school but not important, when i got the phone back it would not turn on. I figured it was a dead battery. So i plugged it in an left it for a few hours while i was at work. When i got home, it would not turn on. When i plug the phone into a charger that I verified per another phone works nothing happens. When I take the battery out of the phone and plug into my computer the led light comes on and is solid. But phone will still not come on, i even try to hold down both volume buttons and the power button at the same time.
So is my device bricked as well? And how could this have happened? Do i have to purchase a brand new battery or can I use the charging trick on my current battery?
Thank you for the help in advance!
Hello, I cracked digitizer of my Xperia.
So I took it apart and wanted to fix it.
I heated, took LCD and digitizer off, tried to separate them nicely, but I'm pretty sure I made a little bit of damage to LCD.
Anyway, now I wanted to try phone without screen before ordering parts (you know, maybe I damaged motherboard or something... )
So... I plug all the cables, make everything back except digitizer is off now, but LCD is on.
I try to turn it on, it vibrates and that's it. Nothing more and after waiting over 10 minutes it still doesn't show any signs of life. Plugging USB cable from PC or ac does not show any signs. I can't do anything until I unplug battery and plug it back.
If I try to stick USB cable before turning it on, red led flashes brightly and that's it. What's even more interesting, if I unplug the cable, led keeps flashing and I have to unplug battery again.
I can see green led flash for a second when holding volume up and plugging to PC and blue led keeps for long time if I plug to PC while holding volume down.
So now you know my situation, does it have to be like that or no?
Maybe there's a back signal from LCD I mean if it's not connected, phone does not work or something.
Before everything phone was working perfectly.
Hope to hear some advice, thank you.

Its looks like a mo-bo issue for USB and LED issue. Check whether all connectors are in place.Also for digitizer issue i thing either the connector is not properly attached or the flex cable is damage.
Any more opinions?
I recently went on a 3 month trip. Before I left, my nook was working perfectly fine, when i got back, it didn't work at all. It's not dead because i left it plugged in overnight but it still didn't turn on. when i plug it in the LED goes from orange to green and then off (or green to orange, i can't remember). The screen doesn't turn on at all. I can't get to recovery either.
This is a Nook HD, I believe it had CM11.
:crying:
Can this be fixed
or should i plan it's funeral
Same here
The same has happened to me. Screen doesn't turn on, but there is power, I can play it into my laptop and something is there, just not enough.
Good excuse for a new tablet!
It can be fixed. I've done it before. It has to do with the fstrim not being compatible with certain hardware versions of our device. If I can remember how I fixed it, I'll post it here. Trying to fix mine (again).

If would be fab if you could fix. Seems to be a common issue
I was able to fix it. YMMV.
1) Make sure the Nook is completely off and unplugged
2) Take out your sdcard
3) Hold down power button until the "battery depleted" icon shows, then promptly plug in the power before the icon disappears.
4) Let it set. The screen will go black, then it will attempt to boot and get stuck on the faint black screen, but this time, the charging light should stay amber.
If you want to be safe, wait until the device reboots itself. That could take hours though. If you're plugged into the wall wait at least 30 - 45 minutes before holding the power button down til it shuts down and then rebooting it (with the sdcard inserted).
Good luck, I hope it works for you.
EDIT: Also, I've read this may also have to do with wifi sending the device into some sort of strange bootloop when the screen is off. I personally believe it has more to do with the fstrim of JB but perhaps changing the wifi sleep policy may prevent this issue from happening again. I'm skeptical, but figured I'd pass that info along if anyone wants to try it as well.

Not sure we have the same problem. My screen doesn't come on at all, I don't get a battery depleted icon, no matter how long I hold in the power button. The only sign of life I get is when it's plugged in, when it goes from orange to green after about 10 seconds.
Thanks for the help, but I think it's a lost cause.
YMMV. But mine was the same issue. You should be able to get the icon by holding the power button down for 5 or 6 seconds. I'd say just eff with it until that icon appears. Try different button combinations. I used power and home trying to get the icon to show.

Anyway... since people are continually running into this kind of issue...
Give or take 21 seconds after turning orange it turns green during actual boot cycle into rom
Give or take 10 seconds after turning orange is cwm internal recovery.
After about 10 seconds the charging screen image disappears.
The charging screen image once finally no longer may not show up again until full power off/on (holding power button > 10 seconds or full battery discharge). Unplugging and plugging back in does nothing except making the device look bricked if there's too much light shining on it.
Device may not automatically leave the above state under a specific situation(s). May still need manual full power off/on.
Guessing 10 seconds could also be something else during the early/late boot process or other. The light changing color though should indicate that something is indeed happening.
Light should stay green during the boot process if its completely and fully no questions asked 100%. If you go based on that than yours doesn't appear to be completely fully charged which should either mean its turning on and using battery or not charging correctly.
The light turning off is curious. The device could be shutting off. If light comes back on a moment later then the device has rebooted. if the light stays off = n/a.
If its booting into recovery then the device would be available via adb. At that point it could be further evaluated.
On the off chance the screen was damaged it should boot and usb should be available via computer as well as adb.
If not then its probably toast unless its simply not getting a good enough current causing mislead battery stats and/or not enough energy to get to charging screen (bad wall power adapter in use, damaged power cable - though could be bad battery, defect, damage or whatever). OR there's some major error on behalf of the user happening (think should have tried that in the morning not while 1/2 asleep or came home from long trip and forget how that works).
Maybe the only other things are the emmc brick bug, was left sitting in the sun or heat or ocean air or other physical damage/defect even to the power port as well.
Or maybe it was mad that you left it. Shouldn't have hurt its feelings you know. At least its not crying battery acid on you.
That should just about cover everything except for the things not mentioned. Since its your device, you decide what happened.
Its complicated so anyone see any improvements, clarifications, or mistakes? Please put it in a post.

Bumping this thread to make it aware that there is a real answer. I have been able to duplicate this problem and rather easily too.
The problem is indeed from bad power. The device isn't receiving the correct amount of power needed to charge and start from a fully discharged battery.
To safely* duplicate this you can use a usb extension that isn't fully connected to the nook power cable. You may need to fully connect it first then slowly disconnect/connect till the light turns green when it should actually be charging. It won't actually charge in this state, or if it is, its very little and the battery percentage will continue to drop.
Leave the cable as is and unplugged. After the tablet is fully discharged, connect the usb cable. The light will change through the modes and turn off. The device will not turn on.
There are probably other ways to cause the problem like for instance a portable usb battery that doesn't put out enough juice (not the orange kind). Etc.
* It didn't hurt mine, but not my fault if it breaks your device.

I actually ended up fixing it yesterday!! I haven't touched it in about 3 months, and I was planning on just throwing it out getting rid of it some how. For the heck of it, I decided to plug it in, assuming that it was gonna go through the same process. But this time it went from green to amber, but it never went off. So I pressed the power button and the battery icon appeared. This was a really good sign. So I left plugged in for about 5 to 10 minutes then tried to power on.:fingers-crossed: As soon as I saw that '' Nook" boot up screen, my heart stopped. It booted up perfectly and I almost blew up from excitement :victory:. So I then flashed the stock firmware back onto it, so this would never happen again.
I guess the battery had to be completely depleted or just had to cool down. Idk but either way this was one heck of a miracle
So I recommend for anyone having this problem to just leave it off and don't mess with it. I wouldn't say for 3 months like I did but maybe test it each week or wait a month if you have good patience
Wow. Man, that's awesome! Glad you posted that update on it. Thought if you had posted an update it would be the opposite as in trashed it
Actually, I guess only you could answer if you had also moved/unplugged the power cable from the wall adapter or put it into a different wall adapter, etc. Thinking there could have been a difference there.
These modern day devices are so finicky, guess anything is possible. Like you say, maybe sitting without power is another answer.
From some experimentation I have etermined that your power adapter (that plugs into the outlet) is the issue. It does not like to be leaft plugged in indefinately. It will continually use power even when the nook is not plugged in.
Also, if you use a differnt adapter you will have the same problem unless it is also of the exact same voltage and amps.
Hi
I’m wondering if anybody has any advice regarding my problem. I have looked here and tried what has been suggested.
My stock, never rooted, never flashed, Xperia T (think it was Android 4.3 but can’t now check, the latest Sony rolled out) was working fine until yesterday. I was on a plane and noticed it had 20% battery life left so I plugged it into the onboard USB port. The problem is I think I hay have plugged the cable into the port the work way round – not the connection on the phone, but the actual USB socket. This should be impossible but somebody obviously had broken the port and it turned out the cable could be plugged in both ways! (I don’t know if it was plugged in the wrong way round but is the only thing that could possible explain the sudden death.)
Could this have bricked it? I suddenly couldn’t get a red light to show charging and holding down power on and volume up or down does nothing. I tried charging overnight via a wall socket when I got home but the result is still the same. Just a black screen and no sign of life. I have also tried plugging it into a computer with Sony’s PC Companion but as the phone is not ‘on’, it can’t be found.
Does anybody have any advice where to go from here? I’m more concerned about some recent data from holiday on the phone than the actual handset itself. If the phone is dead, is there any way to read the internal memory?
Thanks
Try this: Unplug the charger, press the power button. The phone won’t power up because there is no charge left in the battery. But press the power button along and while doing so, connect the charger without releasing the button. Now, you will probably see the red light. Please don’t take off your finger from the power button for around 1 to 2 minutes when the red light for charging will glow continuously. If you feel tired holding it, you can try sticking a tape on it in it’s pressed mode. Once you are sure that the phone is now charging the battery again(red light keeps glowing even after the power button is released) kindly wait for 5 to 10 minutes or may be more before you press the power button again to power the phone up. Now the phone will be up and running
If that doesnt work maybe ur battery is dead or usb port broken
Thanks for the advice. I gave that a go after trying a 24h wall charge and not touching it (which did nothing).
So, I held the power down, plugged it in but nothing. I held it down for around 5 minutes both manually and then repeated the process using the rubber band trick to keep the button held down but no red light ever came on. I think I’m going to try a new battery as I genuinely see that I have nothing to lose as I doubt it will be possible for anybody to recovery data given as the phone can’t be switched on so if I break it further I’m in no worse position!
Thanks again for trying to help though!:good:
When I got my xperia t it was in described condition. I also tried everything (rubberband trick and so on) but the only thing working was to open it and pull and put in again the plug of the battery. After that it booted immediately and I got this sleep-of-death-thing nearly every day... Since I soldered the battery as described in this Topic it happens only ~once a week. Good luck!
SOLVED! In preparation for the new battery arriving, I decided to take the back cover off. I unhooked the top battery connector and decided to connect it back up again, just to see if it did anything. Plugged in the charger and a red light came on straight away! I let it charge for a good couple of hours and switched it on – not as easy without the case attached – and it worked. I’m so frustrated with it being such a simple issue as needing to disconnect the battery but even more frustrated with the design that it is meant to be a ‘sealed’ unit with a non-removable battery. I used to often need to disconnect my old Omnia II battery to restart it but that was a simple case of cover off, remove battery, replace battery , put cover back on, not the creaky, back cover fear of cracking exercise of yesterday. Still it’s working now and hopefully life in the old phone yet!

Nice to see that bro!
Hey all,
I recently got an Xperia X Performance that was sold to me as faulty.
At first I thought it was the battery as it wouldn't charge (No LED) and holding Vol + Power did nothing.
I got a new battery, installed it and won't turn on.
When I plug it into the AC Adapter, no LED comes on.
If I hold Vol+ Power it vibrates once, then 3 times and depending on how long I hold it for (Could be 10 seconds, could be a minute) it might do that cycle again.
If I let go at a certain point I have able to:
Have a Red LED constantly on, even when the USB is not connected.
Have a Green LED constantly on, also when the USB is not connected. (PC Won't recognize either)
And the Sony Logo flashes up on a white screen for a split second and turns off and then it's dead again.
Note: The phones motherboard does get warm when I have one of the LEDs on. So something is going on.
I tried using the Xperia Companion to repair it (Like I did with many Z phones back in the day when they did similar things and that always worked) - this one doesn't work at all. PC Doesn't detect it.
Tried on a Win 7 and Win 10 system, both no avail.
When I took the back cover off the phone, someone has used, what I thought to be super glue to seal it shut.
And the OG battery was loose inside the phone before I replaced it.
So I am thinking, either it's bricked or just completely dead.
Have yet to check with a multimeter on the USB port but I believe it is working.
If anyone has any suggestions, or maybe some sort of help - I have only seen this issue with the older Xperia Z phones. Help is needed!
Thanks heaps!

There is no method to fix it, unless change the motherboard. I had also meet this problem, maybe you can try setool.
