[Q] HELP.. My phone won't boot. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.. my sgs won't boot even after flashing it. stuck at the samsung logo. what happened before this is, the battery was really drained and i plug it to the charger and after an hour or so it says that "Remove charger battery temperature too high" i think .. and then suddenly went off. when i'm trying to turn the phone on .. just stuck at the samsung logo and i cant charge it anymore.
i tried pulling out the battery for hours but still the same. i can go to the download and recovery mode and tried flashing a stock rom but the problem is still the same.
is this a hardware problem?
hope you could me with this.
sorry for my poor english ..

Hi , that sounds like a hardware issue....you could try swapping the battery first to see if that solves your issue , if not you will have to contact samsung support , they should replace your device under guarantee as over heating battery is dangerous .

i already tried swappping the battery but still the same problem .. the phone is not under warranty anymore. would it still be ok to send it to samsung?

you can send to samsung but be aware that they will charge to assess what is wrong with the phone if you opt to not repair.

Try an other Akku... Maybe it will help?

*sigh*
well, i guess i don't have a choice but to send it to samsung T.T
hopefully they wouldn't charge me that much.
thanks anyway for answering my question guys

[Q] Sudden Death for Note N7000 ?

Hi XDA folks,
I request your help because something weird happened to my Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), and I need your suggestions for a repair.
What happened :
The phone seems hard-bricked, it doesn't turn on anymore.
No access to download and recovery mod. No charge icon anymore.
It is not the battery, direct charging didn't work.
How :
That's the problem : I don't know : it's a sudden death.
Last evening, I charged it up to 100%, removed the cable, sent some sms, then shut down the screen and went to sleep. At the next morning, the phone was dead.
The phone never fall, nor try to be a submarine.
The phone is almost 2 years-old, but only used those last 4 months.
The phone was never rooted and was under ICS (last samsung update in Belgium).
Request :
Does anyone have an idea about what happened ?
Any suggestion ? Any test to try ?
Is it a known bug fixable ? - or - Can I start sparing for a new phone ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Stefouch

Like ThaiDai mentioned, try with a different battery. You could be having the same problems that I had.
My battery was swollen. (Due to excessive charging, this reduces battery life like crazy, 70% jumped to 1% in a second.
PLUS
The circuit board of the my charging board is burnt so adb and direct charging doesn't work.
Cost me about $100 to fix them. $50 for each component. Ouch..
If your phone works after using another battery works, you might wanna look into the two problems I mentioned.
To Stefouch ,
Is your phone still dead?
I did not read your first post that good and saw later you cant get to download mode any more.
At first it looked I could not get into download mode , but I had to press those buttons for a longer time ( 30 sec + ).
After all I get my phone working again with a firmware and flash with Odin.
If want to try again to get into download mode by holding the buttons for a longer time I post again.

As mentioned previously, I tried direct charging on the battery connectors but it changes nothing. The battery is not involved.
I also changed the circuit board in a repair shop, unfortunately it didn't reanimate my samsung.
The tech said he can't do anymore unless putting a new Note mother board, but that's almost 300 bucks.

Got like the same problem with N7000. Phone in use for about 11 months. Dropped it more then once but not last few months, find it hard to believe you didn't ever drop in in almost 700 days, but ow well you must be that one in a million guy, hèhè. Anywhooo... Phone was fully charged overnight. It had been of charger for only few hours. Got a call from friend, but I was buzzy, so ignored it. When I wanted to call him back an hour later phone didn't respond in any way. Went to store, they said it wasn't battery but most likely the power-grid or something like it he said. Spoke about changing a module. But as there are signs of damage on the outside they said warranty is no longer valid. He to said the micro USB did not go well in the port of the phone, which he connected to the failure of the phone. To my disappointment I can say, this flaw was present when I got the phone (new!). I figured getting it in difficultly was normal cause I had nothing to compare it to. But feel pretty screwed by my provider. So now I think about changing that specific module, but the guy from the store spoke about billing me around 90 euros (like $130) for the repair. So now feel double screwed by Vodaphone because: The module itself is for sale online between 23,95-32,95 euro, so they wanted to charge me 60 euro for 5 minutes work. I'm totally broke right now so can't tell you if this is gonna work. And with a week waiting till my pay-check is gonna make me whole again, I got the opportunity to learn from other peoples experience. So perhaps this is something for you to try?
I know for sure I got this eMMC Brickbug (tested it with the app) and I'm not sure I updated my Note the right way last year.
So...
Is it possible a new (automatic) update screwed me over and most of all: screwed the hardware?
Other QUESTIONS:
Could it be the Micro-USB module?
I used the phone much for online gaming, so it got pretty hot at the back sometimes. Did you have the same? Can anyone else relate to this?

If you take a light bulb connect it to power and shake it, the inside wiring will reconnect when it makes contact and work again. So changing the bulb is mostly because we THINK it's not fixable or being lazy. Most things we can fix ourselves or with a little help from our fellow users.
If there is still warranty left you should indeed try to take advantage of that. But please ask the guy that fixed it what was wrong and what was replaced and share it with us.
Hope you too will be able to fix it cheap.
Thanks all in advance!

Problems charging my s advance!! ):

I need help!
I detail the problem I'm having.
A few days ago I'm having problems with my phone, after fully or partially charged my battery, when I unplug the original charger or PC, on my phone still appearing as "loading or loaded" and when I try to connect again longer loads , I try restarting the phone and then I figure I have the actual battery and leaves me no charging, but if I try to plug in the charger that does not recognize me, and not charge the phone and to re-detect it necessarily must remove your battery and turn it on with the charger set to charge me normally.
If you think it is the charger jack, ALWAYS connect the charger with the phone off, I fully recognize the phone at the first time, no need to connect several times or move the cable.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
My OS: 10.1 Cyanogenmod Nightly with Jelly Bean.
This problem appeared after using me for 3 or 4 weeks the Cyanogenmod so I do not think it's exactly that reason.
I've tried reinstalling the custom ROM, and also did the Wipe cache, the dalvik cache, and factory reset, I had a single result.
I have also blown my phone and connect the cables.
Check my connector is not damaged.
Probe with other original chargers.
I loaded the original firmware samsung and still the problem
Finally, i tried all possible methods that can extend my knowledge techs, can someone give me a hand that knows how to fix it or someone who has gone through this problem?
Please solutions have not tried yet and that may be effective! Thank you!

We can't tell that unless we can take a look at your device, but you can take your phone to a Repair shop and get it fixed right?
And did you let the phone completely discharge the battery then turn it on by connecting the charger? One more thing, make sure that your charging port is clean because dusts might cause this problem maybe....

I have not really tested yet cleaning up the connector, no more blowing it.
Could lead to a technician for repair but I honestly is the last thing you would want to do not for money but it at least in my country there is no trained technicians repair and when you do not always look good then, sequels often fall ill repair and the technicians do not take care and also are not cheap, even sometimes prefer to buy a new phone before sending it to repair ..
Guys today faced a strange issue. In the afternoon I connected my phone to the charger as my battery was only 16% left. It started charging. Then right now when I picked up my phone I was shocked to see that it was still 16% and charging. Same "connect your phone to a power supply etc" appeared. Then I disconnected the charger and reinserted it. Now it is showing 19%. That means it is now charging. Could you please tell me what could have been the issue?

Charging issue

My phone is going crazy. When i charge my phone when its completely off ,it stucks with the battery sign with circle in the middle. The phone gets freezed with the sign even if i pull the data cable . But the phone takes charge when the phone is running. I changed the battery its same. Can anyone help me out to fix my problem ?
Thanks in advance
Same here. Pretty sure this is a known bug. Which rom are you running?

Z3+ sudden turn off ?

Hi,
My Xperia Z3+ keeps turning itself off even with a band new battery and a Hard reset. Is there a known problem with the phone ?
The battery has a charge of 50% or more and it would suddenly turn itself off with no shut down sequence. I can get it back by plugging it into the wall with a short charge and starting it up as normal, I can even go on using the phone (video, browsing etc) with the same battery level after I start it back up, so its like the phone is either overheating or has some software problem.
Its 3 years old now and it feels like an old phone, maybe its a lost cause but I wanted at least know what the problem is.
It's out of warranty and Sony told me to send it back to 'their' repair shop but they won't tell me how much it will cost to fix, only that its €20 just to take a look at it.
Does anyone know what exactly the problem is ? Maybe its a simple device trying to do too much.

Try reflashing the stock ROM using Flashtool with FULL Wipe and after reflashing the stock ROM, charge it to 100% and calibrate the phone using Battery Calibration App. If still the problem occurs, then you need to contact the Sony service centre or buy a new phone.

Hi,
Thanks for the help, I think its working !
I did the above, hard reset, then calibrate battery by running it down to 1%, turning it off, full charge to 100%. I think that solved one problem.
One thing I didn't try until this morning is taking out the SDCARD since I got a new battery. I did that today and I went through a full day today without the phone switching off. My Sandisk Ultra SDCARD is 6 years old now and even though you get a lifetime guarantee I think its finished. I was just reading how technology has moved on (the read write speeds and A1 App Performance).
The SDCARD must have been causing 1 internal error with the Xperia Z3+ and the reduced cells in the battery causing another.

Soft bricked with charging issue. Need help.

What a nightmare. A friend asked if I could try to fix the a T813 which was stuck on the Samsung logo. The reason it ended up like that wasn't clear but I now believe it must have corrupted the firmware because of a battery issue. I am not sure.
Anyway I assumed a reflash would solve everything, but I encountered a number of problems and now I believed it's nearly bricked.
The battery initially charged but the tablet would not turn off. So it ended up staying stuck on the Samsung logo till it discharged. I tried to charge it again when I was going to begin flashing and it wouldn't. I thought maybe the battery had died so I replaced it.
The battery came with 50% charge and seemed fine. I tried to begin flashing and it had some issues to begin with, stuck on initialisation, then it got half way through and decided to fail. Nightmare
Now it comes up with the blue screen saying software failed blah blah blah use Smart Switch to repair and I was able to get into download mode.
However Smart Switch doesn't recognise the device.
I wanted to attempt more firmware flashes but the battery died. Now it will not charge.
It loads the screen and turns off. I have no way of knowing if its charging at all.
Does the battery need software to charge? Or do I have a charger problem? I know if the battery had charge it would only be soft bricked and I could continue to try and fix it, but until I can work out why it won't charge. It essentially bricked.
It might be important to add that the only thing I have to charge this tablet is a s9 phone cable and charger brick which is 5v 2a I think. Is that enough? Because of this the tablet turns on the screen and uses the power its gained showing me the blue screen. I am wondering if I am fighting a battle between drain and charge. Anyone got any advice on what I can do?
