Long story short my girlfriends phone screen won't light up at all anymore so she got a replacement phone through the insurance. We are trying to get the pictures that are saved to the phone itself off of the phone but when we connect it to the computer it won't let us do anything because we can't unlock the phone. Are there any programs we can download to unlock the phone or are we out of luck on those photos?

(theory 1).....you fell asleep and by chance had it in your pocket. You then pushed the button to turn it off then by chance again you pushed both the power and call button to put it into safe mode.
(theory 2)...no theory 2 just sounded cool to have a theory 2...lol

Lol...thanks
Maybe you were looking at p0rn and your phone caught some sort of digital std. That's a good theory #2.

Hey guys my vivid is looking like is dead. It has power because I can feel it vibrating but the screen is blank. It is cracked the glass so I am hoping replacing it will fix it or is it a deeper problem?

Hopefully replacing it will fix it. If you happened to set up a VNCviewer on your phone you could check by accessing the screen from the computer, but I'm guessing that is unlikely.
Or get a mhl adapter and hook it to ur tv and see if that works .
So yes when I got home I was able to get boot loader on and I tried factory reset so it wasn't my screen I am guessing but when trying to get into recovery or trying to reboot its only on the HTC screen. This came out of nowhere so know I am a Little lost. What could of happened?

if your bootloader is still locked run the stock ruu file and it will put you on a stock Rom and fix any errors

Alright will do when I get back home. My battery seems to be low though. Any tricks to get it to charge. I don't think its charging and yes I am unlocked with the toolkit so I will try relocking I guess see if it does the trick. Really at a loss as t what happen. Last thing I remember was talking g a picture of the sunset at the beach and then to having a dead phone
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
big scare you guys the phone powered up and turned on by itself now. I am guessing it has something to do with the screen so I am not going to mess with it until I exchange it. Hopefully this week thanks for the help
Seems like I spoke to soon its happening again. I am getting a power light but no boot up. The home keys will vibrate but the screen stays blank. I am know wondering whether it's the screen or the battery or maybe both..... One thing I do see when I am able to boot up to bootloader is that its telling me the battery has low voltage. Could that mean there is not enough voltage going to the phone from the battery.
Hello everyone... I have a really weird question: How can I kill my phone without the chance that the company finds out?
I'm stuck with a crappy contract and they won't let me finish it with my phone working... So... What should I do? The idea is that I kill the phone but that's impossible to discover that I did it...
Any ideas?

Oh yeah, but bricking-it will not even cause the phone to be turned on? Or they still can know that I bricked it? And in what part of the update should I unplug it?
Put it in the microwave, that will kill it

If you brick your phone they will most likely know that you messed something up. So best is to do what others suggested, hair dry or microwave

Can't you just update it, and pull the plug part way through? Maybe pull the battery during an update? I don't know if the phone would be recoverable from that.

As long as the recovery image was there and bootloader able to boot and your phone can be recovered.

My S3 LTE and my son's S3 went dead on us today... After overnight charging, both phones won't start up at all. Tried all the methods, still no sign of starting up! HELP!!
Have you taken the battery out and put back in?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
Take it for servicing.....new motherboards needed!
Given the timing, probably a really bad power surge. Any other electrical devices stop working?

Managed to get my LTE working. Plugged it onto my Samsung Ativ PC and it somehow started. My son's need to be sent to service centre.
A visit to the service centre did the job. Changed circuit board...

by using ROM tool box (by Jrummy) it’s an awesome app but I decided to play around with the custom font option and when I tried to install another custom font it decided to reboot my phone to the LG logo and from there the screen goes black with the little indicator light on the upper right of the phone flashing multiple colors.
Fixes that i have attempted to apply where:
-multiple reboots nothing happened same results
-let the battery drain out of the phone then let it charge for a bit and restart it with no luck
-go into recovery mode to clear partition and reboot, but no luck
-go into recovery mode and apply factory reset but no luck
At the end of all these attempts I continue to get the LG LOGO and after that has played out i get a black screen with my notification indicator flashing multiple different colors.
I bet if I had an unlocked boot loader with a custom recovery I wouldn't be in this situation right now. Now I have to go thru hyelton Guide on how to revert back to Stock Firmware, and to my new-bish eyes it doesn't look easy.

We probably don't. It sounds like they already have this accomplished and are polishing it up still.

I went into the freenode chat last night and asked how the unlocked boot loader was coming and said I could offer assistance because I have a spare g flex that I can brick or what not, and I was told to be patient that it was coming.

I just went through the process. I had a soft brick last night from a build.Prop edit couldn't fix it until just now. LG made it tougher, but not horrible. Follow the guide step by step and if you need help post in that thread I'll subscribe to it or pm me, don't want to clutter up this thread.
By the way great to hear a solution is in sight. Remember when this happens, dint take any otas.... Like ever afterwards.
