My LG p970 can't turn on - LG Optimus Black

Dear everyone
My nephew just gor p970 yesterday
for the name of curiosity, i checked and tried the phone.
the rom is 10a
i did root using gingerbreak
it was succeed. i dont kno why i has to root anyway.
actually no need for installing the special app.
then i registered the phone to access to the market.
installing some media music player with lyrics lrc.
the phone then warns the battery just 15%.
i plugged it to the power AC, and continues selecting the music apps.
after several minutes somehow it hangs, the music is jammed.
i pulled the power cord.
i tried turn off by hold the power button not helped. then i removed the battery.and put in back.
restarted, the 4 low phone button was blinking, the screen was grey.
for several minutes, there's no sign froyo menu.
hopeless, i removed the battery.and put in back agin..
i tried to turn on the phone, and it just like no sign of life. no lg logo.
just quiet like corpse. oh dear, what i have just done?
i dont think it is bootloop case, and i dont think it is software issue, right?
charged for 2 hours without any sign of charging, no led indicating what so ever.
still like a dead mobile phone without battery.

Just remove Memory card sim card and flash ur phone with latest V20o or v20e firmware using SMARTFLASH tool. U will get it in development section serch for post [ROOT] v20b and v20o i hope ur phone will work again

There's no way to turn on the phone at least to software upgrade mode via hard reset or something.
no screen / beep / led that was turned on when i push the power button or even when i charge it. totally gave up.

Remove your SIM Card, SD Card and Battery. And Press Hold Volume + Key while Plugging USB Cable to your phone. Your phone should be in S/W Mode, then try Flashing it using SmartFlash.

Check your power cord,is it connected or not?
i mean, it happened to me once (the power is off )
Can't get into the s/w upgrade or what?

i checked the power cord with others also, nokia phone that has same power cord.the nokia was charging, where the optimus was not, not given any clue charging. no led. no sound. nothing. creep...
i just went to the store, and checked with the demo stock battery. it's dead cannot turned on, same. no sign of life.
i gave it back to my nephew to check it to service center tomorrow office hour. i am felling bad bricking his phone. i never bricked original rom smartphone before. it is so badly there's no sign of life.
the question is remaining in my head: this because of the not so qualified first optimus black stocks since it is using 10a, or my miss-use?
i did nt flashing custom rom inside it, i don't think i miss-use it.
it;s no sign of lg boot or minimal sound of turned on, i don't think sw upgrade manually in house will help, right? i did try the hard reset method, up/down volume button with power button pressed at the same time continuouslyand i think plugged in also with usb computer.
there's no new usb device detected.
there's no sign of going to s/w upgrade.
this is just not my day. maybe i have to many sins for jailbreaking
hopefully he can have changed for a new one, rather than serviced for weeks.

Just volume up and then plug in the usb cable. That's how you enter sw mode. But no sign of life at all, is really strange...

same thing with mine
i ve been usinfg OB for 4 months now, and ve used all sought of roms since then and no problem. presently was on sapphire rom 2.2, tried making a call and all of a sudden d screen was off colour, so i removed battery, placed it back in and can't even get the LG logo when switching on. On using volume up plus power key it entered software upgrade mode but this does not show on the screen, used smart flash and it even made it worse. i ve taken it to LG centre now waiting for reply.

It's okay
In this case, i think it's not your fault, it's a factory fail i think
If its guarantee hasn't been expired yet,sure he can get a new replacement

are u using the original cable because other kinds of cables won't work

Like agent205 said, it might be a factory problem. My phone died also like that. I put it to charge and in the morning I just couldn't turn it on. So I use the guarantee and they sent it back after 3 weeks, just saying that they replaced the motherboard (and also replaced software lol). Good luck !

yes it wont respond to usb without battery , no signal, and same with battery. ;(

Can you charge the phone?
Vol+ and insert USB does not work, no sw Upgrade Modus?
When yes, flash firmware again.
When no, its hardbricked, then send to service.

Hello, i got an optimus black witch dosen`t starts up. After i had install an custom rom (Rebuild_of_V20s_Gingerbread) from ClockworkMod menu i selected to restart the phone since here all good, but my OB didn`t restart he turned off and never started back. :crying: I removed the battery, sim and the sd card for 2-3 minutes, put them back but it refuse to start up (screen is dead, fully black, same the sensitive buttons), i tried to get into the software update menu by pressing the volume + while i plugin the usb cable but is not working. When i put the phone to charge on the screen dosen`t show anyhing. All i know is that my battery was on 15% before i installed the rom, but it was successfully installed. Wat`s happening? Nothing is working. Can anybody help me? Sorry for my bad english.

try to charge ur baterry evn if nothing appears then plugin ur device to computer with volume up pressed then just checkout whetr ur computer detects the device ..
for which just go to device manager by right clicking 'my computer' icon >properties>hardware>device manager.
check out for any exclamatory yellow marks.
if exist install suitable driver
then flash ua device , falsh rom
Try entering the emergency mode (pressing vol+ , then plug usb) but just the phone alone, without, battery, sim or microSD on it.
Its a strange behaviour anyway...good luck man!

ya thts ri8 battery must be removed
---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
phone can be back to operating once ur system detects it ..
no matter whether system can install drivers or not..
imprtnt is it must detect
It happened to me before, so lesson learned charge your phone atleast 50% before flashing rom. What i did is i charge the phone even though it dosen't look like charging (screen dosen't show anyhing) but after a few minutes you will noticed that the battery gets hot, it means it's charging. So let the phone charge a little bit then turn on your phone again.
Ya thts true and if evn then ur phone doesnt show anythng thn u need to connct it wdout battry holding vol up key

feels pity for such guys who being on xda cudnt find soln to the problems xda has all that even service dont have
:good:
i think you meant that its a pity that the guy being on xda couldn't find a solution and has to give his cell back to lg for reparation and that lg doesn't has xda?
well my friend, if it's his board or something, better do it for free on warranty, right?
we here have most of the solutions but of course not all
and what makes you say lg doesn't connects to xda and monitor our activities/advancements?
and even that, lg is the manufacturer...who will know better? us or them?
tell me if i miss understood your post

I wish to be free but is not , the phone is out of warranty, but not these is the problem i just want to know which is the problem it is the software or the phone it is just weird that the phone refuse to start. Tomorrow i will find if the "doctor" could give me a diagnostic and make my lg "to breathe" again.
So i will come back....I will have just a bit of help, if the service can`t fix my lg and they will give me a diagnostic (that will sound strange to me), could you just explain me more detailed or if that diagnostic really exist?
Hope ur opti black recovers frm breathless trauma..

Thx , i have one more question...i`ve notice that my battery have a small hole, can you please tell me if is present to the battery of your OB? The phone is out of service but is still dead, the boy from the service told me that i have killed my phone with the Rom i head installed and if i want to repair it it will cost me 100$, the only problem is that he don`t have the machinery (and the skills i think) to repair it and i have to sent it in the capital.
Please don`t forget about that hole from the battery...be good and "take an eye" :cyclops: to your battery.

i just made a post regarding this earlier tonight = / and the car mode is now happening to me now. I called htc support like 5 hours ago and they were absolutely no help at all. "reboot your phone into safe mode" did that "is the problem still occurring?" why yes it is still not charging when on... then they say it must be a hardware problem and to use my warranty and thanked me for my patience and please continue using htc.
I dont know why they have tech support that does not know how to support a recent common occurring problem. I don't even mind the warranty phone as much but i just took a ton of photos and videos the last month and i cant even back them up to my computer now.

Hey after reading through that other thread i did what they said about turning off the developer options and fast boot and it seems to be charging when plugged into the wall but it still will not connect to the computer. Also seems like the car mode is not turning on any more and after resetting it a few times earlier the apps do not open in landscape. So the only issue that remains is the usb connection to the computer although the whole situation is still ridiculous and i do not know how htc wants to pass it off as a hardware issue = / if you find a solution please let me know.

After I restart my phone by pressing volume down key and power key with charger plugged in, it starts to charge and also charge when connected to pc but pc wont detect it. No USB drive no syn manager. (note- I dont not enter bootloader by restarting. just leave power and volume down key immediately after screen is off, else u will get in Bootloader.)
I cant even root.
Any way I think i will sell this phone if no problem occurs.
Regards,
Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"
Yeah idk now my phone seems to be working fine but yesterday I list sound for like 10 hours so I just called my carrier and they are sending me a new one. Hope you manage to get a decent amount of cash for your phone man

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.
I had the device on service when they updated firmware, run what ever tests they run and tried to charge it. All tests passed and I got it back. Everything seemed ok but day two the phone refused to charge again. Back to the store again where they also tried to charge but (luckily enough) got the same result as I.
It seems like if the battery is totally drained, the device starts charging after some while. Before it starts charging as it should, the red light goes on and off for some time.
I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC One. It does not change until it's fully empty and turned off. Then it does change. The orange LED blinks 5 times and after that it start blinking very slowly.
I sended my phone on repair. True a webportal Im able to see any progression. I noticed they also uploaded a photo, see attachment.
It clearly seems to be missing a small element on the motherboard. (near the arrow). What I find weird thought, is that it seems to be the head of the phone and not the bottom near the USB port.
They also had some trouble opening the device as you can see between the two white stickers on the bottom of the phone. I'll keep you posted on any progression...

It didn`t always start charging. Sometimes I have had to plug the connector in 10 or 20 times before anything happened. Otherwise it did not start charging until the battery was completely drained.
Everytime it does not charge, the little icon in the left corner tells me that I should connect a supported device.
I sent a question to HTC support about the problem and got the recommendation to send it to a repair center (where it already is) and they actually gave an answer on my question if HTC are aware about the problems. The answer was "We know about it and work on a solution".
Interesting if that actually is true and not just a too quick answer from someone that wanted to close the case at the a technical support.
Has anybody else asked the question?
Any one having charging and USB problem with HTC One had ever charged his/her phone by any other charger (not the charger u get in box) even for once ? I did that all the time !!!
Yeah, I always used a Samsung charger with mine and it works a treat, I just sent mine back to my network provider and they sent it off for repair, obviously, they put it down as a hardware issue and replaced the damaged device with a refurbished device which I don't care about because of rather have one that works than not

galaxy note completely dead!! help!!

hello everybody!! I have a GT-N7000 with stock rom and 3 days ago it has become completely dead! there was 50% in the battery, so after 10 minutes i came and found it turned off so i tried to turn it on and it turned on but it froze at the samsung logo screen and tried rebooting 3 times but it didn't work. and now its completely dead it acts like its water damaged but it isn't. So after all that I went to Montreal GSM for a fix but they diagnosed the problem to be water damage so I told them okay fix it, and when i came to get my phone back he told me that this wasn't the problem! so now i have my phone with me and dunno what to do with it!could it be the mother board?and if its the mother does anyone know how much does it cost to replace it in samsung service center in montreal? Thank you guys!!!
yeah and two more things I tried another battery but nothing worked
and there was a screen showing up during rebooting and something strange was written on it " some custom roms might fail the system" somthing like that. i'm not sure cuz it only showed up for 2 sec.
thank u again
Motherboard is pretty expensive. No download mode also? Make sure there is a charged battery. Remove the battery and reinsert it. Press volume down + home + power. Anything at all?

Thanks!

[Q] Phone keeps shutting down. Three vibrations

My Xperia Sp brought on contract from EE was working fine until earlier this week. The phone had 30% charge left when the phone shutdown. When i went to turn it back on, the phone vibrated three times and nothing happened. I tried plugging the phone into the mains and charging but the phone kept vibrating in a series of three vibrations. I tried the common answer to any problem with this phone and held the power off button at the back in and pressed the on button but this didn't work. I have also tried other combos such as the one Sony emailed me which was to hold power up followed by the on button but this did not work. The next day the phone magically turned on and i used this as an opportunity to back up my data off the internal memory and re-flash the stock android 4.3(12.1.A.0.266). The phone lasted a couple of hours but then did the same as before and kept vibrating. I left the phone a bit and when i got it to power on again, i flashed android 4.1.2 (12.0.A.2.245) onto the phone. The phone worked for only an hour before shutting down again and not turning on. I have tried various shops in my town, the first said they think it is software but they couldn't fix it, the second said it is a battery issue but they would have to order in a new battery and I also tried EE who refused to even look at it as my contract didn't come with warranty. Sony have emailed me back asking me to send it off to them, but i have no proof of purchase so that is out of the question. I have also searched Google for hours trying to find a solution but the only on that sounded remotely like my issue was apparently a sleep problem, but this is clearly not the case. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give to me about this issue. Thanks in advance to any help given
Phone is vibrating when you push and hold the off button under the back of the phone, it may be broken and its hardware issue, you must take it to sony centre

Thanks for the quick reply. I have noticed that the button looks a bit damaged but i had no idea this could be the problem. I will see if i can get it repaired.
If you bought it recently just take it back in warranty. Have you ever used that off button? Because my friend had xperia z ultra and he used it ONCE and it broke and sony didnt give him warranty
Sorry for my english, im doing my best

I brought the phone last october after my first sp(red) stopped charging as the usb port got damaged. I have used that button loads of times before using pens, pins and even a ds stylus to use it. The slight cover on that button has gone as a result.

Please is your problem solved how was it done.

My moto X suddenly died

Hi!
This is the first time I post a thread on xda since I had my Xperia Arc .. good times. Then I switched to Windows Phone and a couple months ago I returned to android with a Moto X 2nd gen.
I never installed a mod, rom or even unlocked the bootloader or root my phone, I really wanted only use my phone for my regular tasks.
The problem is today I was going to check my messages and the screen won't turn on, I supposed it was the battery so I pluged my phone to the power source and.. nothing.. It's just dead :/
I connected my phone to my PC to see if I can see any signal of life and I've noticed when I plug my phone to my PC and press and hold the power button a green led turns on for 2 -3 seconds and then dies again .. My PC can't detect the phone , I just get "unknown device"...
The phone was new or used before you?
If it was used perhaps you need a new battery. If it was new you must go at motorola service center to fix it by your warranty.

yep, I've tried many combinations like press and hold volume down then press and hold both volume - and power for 2 minutes .. and nothing..
Is just strange, no idea why this happened !!! ..
Tomorrow I will call support and see what happens
Plug it into the charger overnight. Check it in the morning. Try holding out Vol +, Vol - and power for 30 sends.
So is support willing to help you? When my Moto X suddenly died they didn't want to help me...
Support..?? Really.. I will tell u something... I wanted to contact them through email and checked web site, so I could see contact us options - but when I checked that the link was broken... So I decided to get to service support chat.. But u know what they said..?. They can't five me their e mail....what..?. Seriously?? They can't give something that I can't access but it's publicly posted... They are waste.. Don't waste ur time on them..

Sorry to hear about your phone.
I'd be interested to hear the outcome of this..
The same thing happened to my MotoX. After months of discussions with Moto Support I ended up getting the phone repaired "outside of warranty". They refused to cover the repair because I had moved to Australia. (ridiculous for a 'global' company.)
After paying a huge amount to repair the phone, I booted it up and realized they had replaced the 'main board' with the wrong part. My 32gb phone was now a 16gb model.. The repair cost me more than a brand new 16gb model off the shelf!
I've tried to contact moto to resolve the issue but have had radio silence from motorola and the repair center ever since.
I hope you have better luck, and more free time to keep hounding them than I did...
