Hi guys,
Something strange has happened.
This morning, I drop my phone onto concrete. No damage but could be linked. All worked fine after though.
Anyway, this evening, I changed the hosts file in system/etc - replaced with a new one, rebooted and suddenly, for the past hour, the phone won't boot. No lights,no vibrations nothing. Even when plugged,
Have now got the phone on charge.
Any ideas pleas?
Weird. Now turns on after I made this post!

hey
i have been using my xperia for 7 months now, but 2 days ago my screen just stopped working. the phone still works, only the screen doesn't display anything. i know its working because my alarm still goes off. and it vibrates when i start it up. i tried soft reseting, hard reset, update to a different custom rom. so im kinda stuck here, hehe.
any help?
thnx
Hi.
Realise this is quite an old thread but, incase you haven't found a fix; this has happened to my X1 twice now. The first time, I sent it off repair but forgot to put the ROM back to the factory one so they told me it wasn't covered. Anyway, I got it back and to my delight...it just worked!
In summary, the fix for me has been to leave the battery out the phone for a long time. On the second occasion it was about a week before it started working again but it did work. Hope you got yours sorted.
Hi, hopefully someone can help me pinpoint what's broken so I know where to fix.
My phone comes on, but nothing shows on the screen, phone seems to make no sounds. Have not tried calling it yet
ADB shell works I can navitage the file structure.
Logcat goes on forever...
Backstory: I'm not new rooting and mods, rooted since jesusfreak's root, Been running on Cyanogen 5.0.7 since it came up, Updated to Cyanogen 6.0 a few hours ago everything was going fine phone was laying on the desk, picked it up and the screen wouldn't come on, I assumed the phone froze and pulled the battery. No G1 Screen, no bootscreen. Recovery same thing, Power+Camera same result.
I'm worried I'm looking at a broken ribbon cable? I shouldn't be able to adb if I was bricked right?
Well I just went ahead and bought a Vibrant...
my g1 keeps on restarting after i downgraded my phone to rc29 so i can root it. this never happen to me before. if i have my charger plugged into my phone, when the phone loads and passes the g1 screen onto the android screen, it'll automatically reboot itself. if my charger isnt connected. it wont reboot, it'll just turn off. i have 2 g1s and both battery are working perfectly. what am i doing wrong? i can enter to recovery mode and fast boot without any problem. DREAMIMG is installed correctly also. a little help will be great! thanks in advance
I've just ran into this myself. I am running Biffmod 2.0, went into UI settings, changed LED notification for missed call, it rebooted, changed it back, still rebooting, rebooting itself ever since. Put it on charge as I have to go out. Picked it up, missed call. Rebooting. Went into Menu to look at LED settings, still rebooting.
:/
Give up. GAME OVER.
Well, not so dramatic. Short answer for me = Hard reset. Not much on there anyway. Done too much reflashing for that.

Hello, I've had my G Watch R for not quite a full week so far and I've really enjoyed it. Two days ago, I believe that I let the battery die so I placed it on the charger before going to bed. When I woke in the morning i grabbed the watch off the charger without looking at it. Just before i stepped out the door i noticed that it wasn't waking up and It wouldn't even power on. I ran back and slapped it on the charger thinking that it would be more than charged by lunch time. Thats when i noticed the apparent boot issue you can see in the video attached. It hasn't been dropped at all and I have the basic apps installed; facer, watchmaker etc. At this point, Is there anything that I can try short of sending it back?
I've left it on the charger for 24+ hours, it gets slightly warm and stays in the boot loop. As soon as its taken off the charger it has no visible charge and refuses to respond to anything. I purchased it through amazon, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be an issue for me to return it...
http://youtu.be/GgF3iXAhTTI/
Sorry i tried to embed the video but the youtube link for xda seems to be breaking the url somehow
So I have already initiated the return process with amazon and it should be pretty painless. I have almost 3 weeks to send it back, so if anyone has any tips/tricks or ideas I'm more than open to try them....The watch is 100% stock as far as firmware or root is concerned.
Any luck with this? I just got back an RMA for a broken touch sensor, I don't want to have to RMA it again.
try to see if you can get in to the bootloader, and restart the watch from there
i have notice when i charge the watch from empty (so thewatch boots up while charging) it causes problems, usually boot loops as well
I just watched the video (should've done this before hijacking the thread, sorry) and it seems like I'm having a different issue. Instead, mine does the android boot animation, the goes to "Starting Apps" and counting ("x of y Apps"; the y value seems to be different every time), then "Staring Apps" with no count, then it says "Powering Off" and shuts off. But I will post my experience in case someone else with my issue finds this thread.
I'm back up & running today. I got it into the bootloader last night and put it on the charger before I went to sleep (to avoid battery rundown by bootlooping while it charges). I woke up this morning to it bootlooping again. I'm guessing that it restarted itself sometime during the night. I took it off the charger and let it sit for a while (it was pretty warm, so I figured it would be better to let it cool down before trying anything else). I tried to restart it again after about a half hour, but it still only got to "Starting Apps" before shutting off. I reflashed the stock boot, recovery & system images found here: Stock Boot, Recovery and System for G Watch R . I restarted it and completed the initial pairing process (due to wipe when I unlocked it in order to flash system image) and it is now working.
I don't know if what I did actually fixed anything or if it just decided to start working, but I will post again if something happens again. If you don't see any more replies from me, then all is still OK.
EDIT 6/22/15 9:53 pm EDT: No good, see below.
To workaround the bootloop while charging, you can boot into recovery (swipe 10 to 4 a clock while Logo is shown, select and press okay to recovery), than charge battery for a while, after that, you can boot to as normally to AW-system and charge to fully battery!
You can charge with USB on PC, it's work fine for me.

So your gwatch r started doing the same thing again? I have the same problem and it won't connect to the computer via fastboot or adb. How did you get on with the RMA? I cant send mine back due to voided warranty. Still hoping for a solution.
Have you tried taking it off the charger and booting it? Also are you running custom software?
bricked watch

So i took off the back plate, and found that the spring contact pins inside the watch weren't making good connections to the connect points on the inside of the back plate. Be careful, they are fragile, but you want to bend them out slightly. If you can source parts, get a new contact pin module.
After this, i was able to connect my watch and flash over stock firmware.
I can't guarantee this is what is happening with yours, but let us know if it does work.
I've scince broken the screen and can't find where to get parts!

I still haven't found a fix. My charging works fine, but no PC connection. The bootloader/fastboot wont come up, no logo or anything. I'm sure the EMMC chip is fried, it sounds like many are seeing this issue, some with a black screen and some with a snowy screen. I've had several galaxy phones do the exact same so I'm doubting it can be fixed without going to the manufacturer which mine came from redflagdeals and LG wont service the random online store purchases
I had to take the back off and clean and adjust the contacts that make contact through the back panel. Then I could connect via fastboot.

This solved my problem. As soon as I plugged it into my PC it booted just fine

Hey Guys
Hope, some of you can help me. The problem is:
i bought a new HTC One Mini 2. Cause i had a Cyanogen 10.1 on my previous phone, i thought, that i should install a new CyanogenMod for this phone again. So i unlocked und flashed the Phone. As custom recovery i used TWRP 2.8.5.0... Found that one here in a Thread. After i flashed cm-12-20150411-NIGHTLY-memul.zip on it. After all, i started my phone again and all worked fine. i thought....
So yesterday i powered off my phone, plugged it to the charging-cable and went to sleep. In the morning i got up, picked my phone and wanted to turn it on. What i saw, was the charging screen, blink led is standing on orange and thats it. Cant power it off again, cant boot to recovery... nothing...
And the point is, i dont have the ultilities and the skill to open the phone and remove the battery to see, if that is the problem.
Do you have any ideas for that?? Thanks for leave an answer
lol

I works again. was some buggy thing, i guess. A friend took my phone, did same combination that i did to boot in recovery mode and BOOM it reboots and work properly. So, i can't tell u a real solutions, but if you got same problem, keep trying with the POWER-Button and the VOLUME_DOWN-Button. Worked in my case.
Thread can get closed.

What he did was a hard reboot, accomplished by holding the power and vol-up buttons for about 10 seconds. Just wanted to add this.
Hey guys,
any solution to this problem??
Got the same issue. unlocked bootloader with htcdev, installed TWRP Recovery and rooted phone, everything worked fine yesterday.
Today I installed xposed framework, then I plugged-in the charging cable and turned off the phone because I wanted to flash xposed in Recovery. But when the phone turned off, it only showed the charging screen with the message ("This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.") and didn't react to any button pressings until the battery finally died.
Then I plugged in charging cable again. Now I have again the charging screen, only difference is that the LED doesn't flash permanently but it now blinks. Computer recognizes phone but I can't send fastboot commands since it is turned off.
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: After a lot of tries, I finally also managed to fix it with 10 seconds power + volume up....
