My phone is hosed again.

Okay This is the 2nd phone of mine this has happened to. It was working fine, then I plugged it in to recharge and now it won't boot again.
I'm rooted, ROMed and have CWR loaded.
I've tried getting it into CWR by pressing and holding the Vol DOWN and Power button, but it keeps starting the normal boot process.
How can I get my phone back. I'm starting to lose faith in the Revo and am about to press VZW for a replacement to the Charge.

Have you tried the QuickBoot app? That ortta help.

I can't figure this out - so you are bricked, or you are just trying to access recovery?

It seems bricked. It has been running fine since I received it and rooted and loaded the Cubed ROM. I plug it in to recharge over night and in the morning it was dead. Would not boot to CWR.
I took it into VZW and they put me on with tech support. Bottom line I'm giving up on the Revo even though I prefer it to the Charge or TB. VZW is upgrading me to a Charge. I had the option of any of the three existing 4g handsets. As There are too many issues with the TB and I don't want to go through this again with another Revo (2x of this in less than 2 months of the phone being out is too much for me.)
Hopefully the Charge is more reliable. I guess I'll find out.
This is a great group who has done amazing things with this phone. Just wish I could rely on it.
take care.

No offense but the only common denominator between your first and second phone is you.
Odds are you are doing something, or there is something environmental where you are that is causing this to happen.
Are you using the same charger that came with the first phone?
Are you plugged in a power strip?

No offense taken. I did think of that. But if it was something I've done, I think it would happen immediately and not run great for over two weeks then just die.
I did not install any new SW, I'm using the same charger that came with the phone. it is not plugged into a powerstrip.
I could understand if I had been adding new programs etc... But none of that was going on. It was running great on the de-crapified ROM I was able to get 6+ hours on the battery most of the time.
Then I plugged in the phone to recharge after using it all day (had about 20% left) Went to be and woke up and dead.
Same exact thing that happened the 1st time.

Weird... I hope it gets better for you with the new phone. I just wish everyone could be as happy as I with their revo...

You wouldn't happen to be plugging it into an outlet that requires a light switch to be turned on by any chance?

Nope. Outlet is not connected to any switch. I've used this out let for the past 18 months with no problems with other phones.

by "dead" what do you mean? any explanation?
Trust me, there's almost NO way to kill this phone by normal means.
If there was, I'd have found it by now.
Things to try:
remove battery, plug in USB to PC, hold volume UP, put in battery, hold power (while holding volume up).
That'll put you in firmware download mode.
Unplug it from usb in PC, and plug back in wall charger. Let device sit for an hour or so to charge the battery.
Once that's done, unplug battery+usb. Hold volume DOWN and power until device vibrates once.
Tada! You're in clockwork.
Hope that helps!

I'm game to give it a try, I did get the replacement Charge today and have not yet activated it.
I'm not sure of the last step however. Are saying after the battery is charged, I take out the battery and plug it into the USB on the PC then hold Power/Vol down?

Help! My Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 seems bricked.

Hi Guys!
What is the definition of being Brick?
What happened:
It was low batt at 1% so i switch it off and plug in the charger. The moment the battery appeared, i tried to start it. However, i did not observe the subsequent event, and my phone now neither charges (no heat), not detected by computer nor respond even after i put in a working battery from another N7000.
I had been on paranoid android for 3 weeks.
Suspect power low or power died on boot up.
Any solutions?

Try another charger and another cable.

Same thing once happened to me.
Since it worked for me i m posting here.....for many it wud be ridiculous but u never know what to do in such cases.
I cleaned the surface of charging points by a small pin i.e. the port of micro usb where you insert the charger cable. Then i tried charging the battery. Wonder......it worked for me.......

You should try to remove battery and let your phone without any power source for a several minutes.
Then put battery back and try.
Try long press the power button (30 seconds) just in case.
If it don't work, try to plug an USB JIG to see if your note go to download mode.

My D3 died! :(

:crying:
Opened bike race when the screen froze while opening the game (dark screen).
Pulled the battery but when I boot the screen goes on after 3 secs, stays on for 2 secs then goes into dim mode (i can see it's still on).
However my phone doesn't boot since I don't get any whatsapp messages. Normally it should boot to SIM screen but other apps should run.
X+power or M+power doesn't change much.
I'm guessing mobo/cpu fail.... any ideas?
:crying:
edit: It turns on when I put in the charger without battery! Dead battery?

If you put the battery flat on a table does in spin well. Batteries bulge when they are done. The better the spin the worse it is. It's odd the behaviour that can happen with a end of life battery

Well now I'm not so sure what it is.
When I put the cable in without battery the M logo appeared and then the charge screen with a ? in the battery (because there was none)
Then I put the battery in and it started charging.
After a while I tried to turn it on but same problem - just a black screen when power it, no logo whatsoever.
Now I can't get it to work without battery either...
edit: I don't think it can be the battery, because the screen stays on (it has power apparently) and it doens't work with cable connected either
But I also don't see it being the screen as it never vibrates like it does when you boot it.
How did it just show the charge screen before and now it doesn't??

I made a vid of what happens when I power it:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22072961/Droid 3/Video0067.mp4

The Droid 3 and Bionic are similar phones, and it turns out that the Bionic will not boot up without a battery - it will hang at the Moto logo even if plugged in. See this thread at androidforums.com: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...via-adb-unable-boot-up-phone.html#post5463741
So, it may be that you just need a good battery pack in order to get to Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot etc. if the phone will not start or start to Safestrap.

Ye, except my phone doesn't even show the motorola logo, and I can't even get to the bootloader menu
edit: and it doesn't explain why I was able to get to the charge screen without battery at first, but not now

Right now I'm having the same problem, I could enter safetrap for now (after 10 attempts)

The worst part is using my Samsung Jet "Smarter than a smartphone". Which isn't even close to a smartphone because it doesn't have any of the OSes = no apps

In my XT860 in its power when it reaches the lockscreen, restarts or shuts.
When I put it to charge my battery shows 0% and charging. When I go to Safestrap-after several attempts-, battery shows 99% or sometimes 80%.
I think the cpu wants to leave the world of technology :crying:

hi Doubleyp
try to see if it starts with a factory cable (like the Team black hat one) (no need for battery)
if it starts then its the battery

I tried the stock cable that came with my phone (USB) but nothing happens. Screen doesn't even go on.
The light next to the microUSB does go on.
But my phone has never booted with USB (0.5A). When my battery was 0% I always needed a socket charger because it wouldn't go on and charge with USB
When I then insert battery and try again with stock cable same happens as in the video

Ah I see. Well I'm not in the US so getting one would be a PITA
I'm gonna try my spare battery (original battery) tomorrow. It that doesn't work it must be hardware related because I haven't flashed or done anything to it so it's not softbricked or something.
edit: it team blackhat do send to europe? How would this be different from trying another (working) battery?

Try cutting a USB cable open, hook the red wire to the + of the battery and - to the black and let it charge that way. Also, do you have any MicroUSB charger? I have one for a BB Bold I used to have that delivers I think 1.25A and it could charge my phone from dead (obviously not now with the flex cable having a rip in it).

The little light next to the USB port is the 'It's still alive" light that Moto put in when the battery is completely dead. It's to let you know that the phone *is* charging, just not high enough to boot the phone (i.e. when you let the battery completely die).
WHY they did not make it a standard charging light (like the D1 and D2) I don't know, but that's the only time it comes on. A quick flicker on USB plugin, or when the battery is dead. The light goes out when it gets enough power to boot up.

Well, it's not charging because there's no battery , the light it still on
I really dont see how its the battery because when I put it in without cable the screen turns on and stays on for as long as I keep the battery in. So it HAS power. Today I'm getting my spare battery and we'll see I guess..... don't have my hopes up

My daughters D3 was doing the same thing,me being not ready to dig into a phone yet ,took to a local repair shop, they checked it out and found it had a bad LCD,should get back Friday, sorry for the bad news,just thought you would like some insight.

Thanks. But should it turn on when the LCD is bad? It doesn't even boot else It would vibrate once.
Can anyone confirm that the phone should boot when I remove the LCD alltogether? Else it might be a bad LCD or loose connector

[Q] HTC Vivid won't charge or turn on

As the title says, my HTC Vivid won't turn on, charge or anything. The orange light that says it's charging doesn't turn on, buttons don't vibrate or anything. It shouldn't be bricked because I haven't done anything to brick it. I was using Xbox Smartglass on it, I locked the phone and went back to my game, about 15 minutes later I tried to unlock it and it did nothing. The battery shouldn't have been dead because I charged it the night before. Any suggestions or help please?

LOL The reason I got a Vivid is because he gave it to me. Sadly, I was hoping there would be a technical solution instead of trying a new battery. I've got one ordered though. :/

Some have bad batteries.
Mine started doing the same thing. For a while I thought the battery life on Vivid was horrible compared to the Aria I had at the time. Then it progressed and one day finally quit completely and would not take a charge from any charger I had. So, being a techhead I decided to probe the battery with a multimeter and it showed very little voltage, so low I guess the charger wouldn't even recognize or try to charge it.
So what I did was take a battery charger I had for a walkie talkie radio and touched the leads to the battery for 3-5 seconds or so, put battery back in phone and it would then charge. I did this a few times until I could get to ATT store and the guy ordered a new one through warranty. Haven't had a problem with the Vivid since.

Same Problem
Last night I pulled my battery at 21% after shutting the phone off to clear the memory. I put the battery back in and put it on the charger, I tried to turn the phone on and nothing. It is not showing that it is charging. I have four batteries for this phone and none of them will turn on the phone. I am at a loss here. The phone was working fine until i shut it down and removed the battery. Any ideas on what is causing this or any way to force it to turn on.

That sounds like a royal pain.
Could it be the changer or its USB cable? Work some contact cleaner into the power button?

I'm having this same issue. I'm not sure if it's the battery, since the phone boots to bootloader just fine. But the battery won't charge when the phone is off (red light comes on for a second, then quits) and I can't get past the HTC screen booting to ROM or recovery. Where is a good place to buy a battery?

Even if the power button was bad the phone should still charge a battery. I have a charger that will charge the batteries without the phone so I know the batteries are charged. I have several different chargers and none of them will show the phone charging. I even tried connecting it to my computer. The phone is dead, I guess I am going to have to crack it open and see if anything has come loose inside. I really like this phone and am going to hate loosing it. I paid a lot for this phone. That shinny penny I paid to get this phone was my favorite.

Have you tried plugging the phone USB into a desktop and using that to try rebooting the phone into bootloader or recovery?
Hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit in the dev section can do that pretty simply. i used an earlier version of that to unlock the phone a year and a half ago.
i don't remember if the phone has to have debugging turned on for the desktop to feed it commands.
Even if this works i dunno whatall it'll prove.
i like this phone too a lot, and am sorry yours seem to be having hardware problems.

The phone does not turn on at all so getting to the bootloader is impossible. It does nothing. Does not even charge a battery. .

That's the definition of a bricked phone, was what i meant. No screen, no led, no button function, no sign of life, and from no explicable cause.
Android phones don't have real on-off switches that directly disconnects the phone from power. Its failure to manifest signs of life doesn't absolutely indicate irreversible hardware failure. There's a bit of a chance it's firmware.
Aside from the power button, Android phones can be controlled thru the USB port.

I took your advise and plugged the phone into the computer and left it over night. This morning I rebooted the computer and the phone screen lit up. I got all excited and tried to use adb to reboot into bootloader, Of course the phone was not found. I took the phone off the cord and the screen shut off. I pushed the power button and the screen lit up. Let go of the power button and the screen goes off. I tried another usb cord and now the screen no longer lites up. Maybe there is hope for this phone.

If the screen lights up like that... there is power to it...
Sounds like you have dirt in your power button... or the button isn't making contact...
Time to disassemble and check the power button...

Yeah, that part where the phone was seen by the desktop, and then not, can have something to do with the Windows drivers. Most of the folks on these forums know what's with this stuff better than me; i usually have to tell windows to stop the hardware, disconnect and reconnect the phone USB and start the connection up again, every time before i do one set of commands, like put the phone into bootloader and download a kernel image into it.
There's a Vivid unbricking project over in the dev subforum, you must've seen that. Whether or not you get your phone working again, i hope it'll be a productive journey for you.
i was perfectly happy just messing with apps until i bricked my tablet; that got me into all this device unlocking and rom burning and fun stuff. It's too bad the Vivid isn't simpler to hack.

my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel
my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel please can you help me

9 times out of 10, if the phone will not turn on at all it is the battery. For some reason, the Vivid will occasionally stop seeing the battery. I have fixed this on mine when that happened by using an external charger. That worked because my battery was actually OK, the Vivid just wouldn't charge it or even see it. Once it was charged it was fine. If your battery really is dead (sounds like it might be the case), get a new battery. There is a 2000 mHr battery on Amazon that is not too much worse than the original (when new).

I had the same issue once, it turns out that I fixed it using a external charger

Dead Atrix HD

Hi.
My white Atrix HD is dead. It does not power and does not give any sign of life.
Phone was working perfectly, then it froze and after that it shuted down... never coming back. Was running stock.
First I thought it was the battery, but checking it with a voltmeter it shouws around 4Volts so it's OK for at least power the phone, I also recharged the battery separatly with an external charger...
Phone is still not powering. I tried every key comination to no avail.
If I plug it to my PC with the battery connected the green led appears for a while, then it goes off...
If I connect the phone to my PC with out the battery, then the green led stay lit forever...
What do you think it could be? Battery is dead? (It does supply voltage but you never know...)
Maybe a burned fuse on the motherboard?
Any help pinpointing the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck!

Did you try to replace with other battery ?

Try this. While plugged into a power source, hold all 3 buttons on the right side. Once the light turns off, unplug the phone and hold the power button (top of the 3). Once it gets to the boot animation, you can plug it back in. Or you can just check the battery level and make sure it's not something wrong with the screen by doing what I said but never unplugging it.

Thanks for your reply...
Nothing... It's just dead. I think it might be the battery but first of of all it does give voltage and second i don't have other battery to test it. I could use another's phone battery but don know if that would work.

If ur adventurous enough to open up the phone like u would open up to do the EB40 battery mod, try to disconnect the battery completely by un-screwing the battery from the terminal for 30 seconds. Then connect back and try to power up. What you described happened to me once when I was doing the mod and it worked like a charm.
Good luck!

Or you can just check the battery level and make sure it's not something wrong with the screen by doing what I said but never unplugging it.

Nothing... It's just dead. I think it might be the battery but first of of all it does give voltage and second i don't have other battery to test it. I could use another's phone battery but don know if that would work.
