Hello guys. My phone won't turn on, at all. Just black screen. I tried two different batteries, I tried to connect it to pc (I can't see s/w upgrade mode, so I can't reflash it), nothing happening. I was running CyanogenMod7 RC, and I just turned off my phone (holding power button, and selected power off). Please help.
Sorry to hear that but you know it happened the same thing to me. Using it at midnight, turning it off and charging and 10 hours later it couldn't react to anything. I sent it to repair and 3 weeks later LG sent it back : they say that motherboard was dead and they change it.

Really? Damn. My phone was rooted, and I am not sure do I still have warranthy. How much will it cost in the service center to repair it?
Hum... it cost me nothing (since the phone couldn't turn on they couldn't see that the phone was not with stock rom lol) because it was on warranty. But the 3 weeks waiting was toooo long lol.
EDIT : But try again to turn in on, I tried everything during more than a day, to be sure. ;-)

I already tried; No luck. It just look like a piece of metal, no reaction at all. I tried two different batteries, but as far as I remember P970 can work even without batteries when it's connected to the charger.
Yeah I didn't understand why mine died also. Just charging after turning it off. But this new one seems to not have any problem... for now. What really pissed me off were the 3 weeks waiting for it. I hope you'll don't have to wait that long.

And yeah BTW I don't know if this matter, but I did partiotion from Recovery Menu, and used swapper before this happened.
Ok, now I know what the problem was. It's all swapper 2 fault. Somehow it managed to destroy boot sector. Oh well, it's also my fault, shoud've do appropriete reading before using this app. And why did I even need SWAP in the first place? Hello service center...

Define what's happening a bit more clearly. When you plug it in, does anything show up? Have you installed CWM 5.0 or 5.5?
As a last resort, try to find someone with another Vivid to try and jump-start the battery.
i plug it in and the led turns to charge for 3 sec then turns off.
the device does not turn on screen is black and the bottom 4 touch buttons react and vibrate to touch but nothing else works.

This happens on my vivid when my phone dies. Only the led will turn on for about 3sec then turn off and screen will quickly display what looks like the recovery page then shuts off and led turns on for 3sec. This cycle repeats itself for about 15min before phone will repower.
If my phone is off and I plug in the phone will power on to recovery screen. This happens even if battery is not drained. I've noticed this happen since I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Once when my battery died I plugged in and it booted to recovery screen. I decided to leave it while I showered. When I returned to my phne the screen was off. I tried powering on and nothing. I tried to power to h-boot and nothing. I held the volume down and power button down for almost 5min before my phone would reboot.
Not too sure what's going on...I just make a point to not let my phone die...kinda scary.

Wait, recovery or bootloader? If it's going into CWM, then it is perfectly fine, as CWM 5.0 does NOT support chargemode, so once it has enough power, it'll just stay in CWM while still charging.
If you do have CWM and that isn't happening, then your charger is probably faulty. Don't really know what else to say, as I'm only talking from personal experience.

I do have cwm so I guess its the bootloader. It's the black screen with blue text where you can flash Rom, backup/restore Rom, clear dalvik cache etc...
I'm new to Android, been on iOS since it came out, so I'm still trying to figure out everything and getting familiar with terminology. New to being involved in forums too, so sorry for my ignorance.

I suppose I need to make a .zip people can flash if they're stuck in 5.0 clockwork so they can charge their phones if they get stuck in clockwork.
Should I ?

Good question... CWM 5.5.04 supports chargemode: It won't boot into CWM if it solely needs to charge. I'd presume that it would still charge, but I'm not entirely certain.
i coult not get into recovery at all.
but get this, i spent all morning trying to get this thing to turn on, tried everything.i finally decided to take it to rogers and see if a new battery would fix it up. as i was leaving out the door i just tried to push the power button one last time, the dang thing finally turned on.............i have no idea how the heck this fixed itself but i was glad.
i guess the raider/vivid did ot want to go back to rogers. heh
on a side note when it did turn on it had 1percent battery i ran back insidde and plugged it in right away.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hi
I've problem with my nexus one. Everything was OK until one day my phone won't start. First I think that it's problem with power button because charging seems OK(orange led and after charge was green) so I buy board with new power button. After exchange bord it was same. Phone still wont turn on. I bring my phone to local shop and try brand new battery but nothing. Also I try factory reset and some other tricks for "power button problem" but nothing.:crying:
I'am sure that new board was replaced correctly.
Thank you for any solutions...
Yeah you should be crying sorry for ur lost.

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note GT-N7000. It was working properly until some day it did not turned on.
When the phone is unplugged form the USB port the phone does nothing, no power, no Download mode, nothing. Even thou I fully charged the battery with an external battery charger... You press power button and nothing shows.
When I plug the USB charger the one sign of life I get is the battery charging icon (image attached)... which shows and then goes blank every 10 seconds. That's all I can get from the phone...
I checked other posts and they say it might be a broken USB port, So i disassembled the phone and removed the USB port flex to check if it might be short circuiting the board; but no luck. When I remove the USB port the phone does nothing.
Any ideas? Could it be the phone has a broken USB port and that the phone can't power without usb port?
I think that you have a full brick. Did you flashed a FW before?

I cant say it to 100% beacuse I am not an expert but it looks like a software defekt, and you wrote that you loaded your battery at an external station so your phone must reboot (cause your battery is full) but it doesnt. I think that your completely system is deleted and if you cant switch to recovery or download mode have you an big problem.

Your not getting an emmc hardbrick unless you flashed something in a silly fashion at some point more likely recently than not.
Did you try a different battery or not?
From a cursory review the first thing to try is a new battery and or new cable.
I am not sold yet that this is an issue with the main board or the DC in board.
+1 for new battery.

Jackpot. The battery was broken. Switched battery and phone turned on right away.
The battery was not swollen or anything, just not working properly.

The batteries have very short life span and very sudden extreme behaviours when they're at the end of their life. Glad you got it sorted.

I have had the Xperia T (LT30P) for only about 3 months now.
The phone crashed and shut down so I tried to turn it on again. There was no response, no led flashing or anything.
I tried charging for several hours. During charging the LED comes on red for a while, then goes off for less time. The red LED comes back on again. I think this may be a loop to do with kernal?
When attempting to power on the handset at this point, if it is not plugged in I get 3 flashes from the red LED, sometimes. Either that or NOTHING happens.
When attempting to power on, and it is plugged in. There is no response at all.
I have tried the Hard reset and soft reset but there is no response, no vibrate and no luck.
My PC will not recognise it being plugged in, neither will EMMA (the flashtool) nor PC Companion. This means that I can not reinstall kernals or firmware or anything!
I sent it off to be repaired but I have the EU version so the UK repair centre just sent it back to me un-repaired.
Any help with this will be much appreciated!
Let it charge for at least 24 hours, then try to turn it on our hard-reset. If that doesn't work it probably has to be repaired.

Okay so I usually charge my phone over night the other day I wake up check the phone and it wasn't charging. It keeps giving me the cannot charge in usb host mode. I know this has been posted a hundred times but I have read through the forums and tried every fix. Nothing works. Battery drains in a couple of hours with no use. My question is should I try to change the battery or the usb port? Has anyone had success with this? Or should I just sell it and get something else? Thanks for reading. Phone is not rooted completely stock. It does charge only when turned off, intermittently and only to about 98%.

If you just throwing it away send it to me
But seriously you can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and do a factory reset / format data
then flash a rom it may come back to life.
Have you tried a factory reset from Stock recovery ?
boot to the bootloader choose recovery
then push volume up and tap the power button
it should show stock recovery and do the factory reset in their
Thanks for the reply but I have tried to factory reset. I can get to the stock boatloader screen but no matter what I choose from the menu it just freezes and I have to hold the power button to get it to turn off. I also get no response when connecting to computer. I talked to HTC service and they want the imei number which I can't get. I don't want to throw it out it was the best phone I've had but it sucks to have a $350 brick sitting on my table while I use my backup.

so your not able to put the phone in bootloader ?
volume down + power
in bootloader hook to the PC tap power one time you should be in fastboot USB ... the PC should make a sound and you will be in fastboot mode.
from your fastboot folder on the PC type fastboot devices you should see your phones serial number. then fastboot getvar all will display all your phones info
I can get to the bootloader screen but when I try to make any selection it just freezes computer doesn't make any sound when connecting. I've read a lot and can't seem to find any info. everyone who has a similar problem is rooted and has a bad flash or something where I'm completely stock. I'm starting to think it might be a mother board issue. Thanks I appreciate anyone trying to help.

Well if Hard resetting doesn't help and you can't issue fastboot commands I don't see what can be done.
I think it's probably hardware related though. A similar case recently where the phone would only charge briefly while turned off, fortunately the device was still functional, after flashing everything possible, finally ended up making it s-off and returning it to stock to send for warranty.
Maybe your fastboot problem is driver related but considering your bootloader is freezing I'd say it's a problem with the phone rather than drivers

yeah, i tend to agree it's a hardware problem; if you've already tried the other fixes (including cleaning the phone's usb port, and trying a different charger & cable), then either your usb port is borked, possibly the battery, even maybe the internal connections.
sorry mate
Thanks I'm probably just going to buy another phone it's just a kick in the butt. You guys are really great for taking the time to try and help. One question should I get a nexus5 or another m7 I have T-Mobile but buy phones from craigslist or eBay I don't like getting the newest phone they loose value way too fast.
