[Q] My phone is not turning at all on after new ROM - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hello,
Something happened with my Samsung Exhibit II phone after installing new ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185107
First, the installation went OK and the phone booted in the new environment. But since Google Apps were missing I rebooted my phone again into recovery mode and installed Google Apps and also SwapSD. Then I selected "restart phone" and after that I cannot turn my phone on. It looks like it is dead. The battery was OK (charged in full). So, the phone does not react to pressing any buttons at all. Is it familiar situation? Is there anything to do?

Might be wrong gapps, or the swapsd, Try wiping and flashing again without SwapSD

Try taking the battery out for a few minutes. Then replace it and see if it turns on.

Didn't help. I removed a battery for 10 minutes, put it back, pressed "Volume Up + power" and nothing happened.
I am wondering if it is possible that installing a wrong apps (like SwapSd or Gapps) could kill a phone?
Even when I plug the charger in the phone, I don't see that the phone is charging. Usually, the battery icon would appear with percentage of charge. Now, nothing is happening.

Plug it into a windows computer. If it installs drivers for qhusb or something like that, you might be hard bricked.

Try pressing the power button, hold it down while holding the volume down button. Hopefully that will get you into download mode so you can try ODIN to reflash your ROM and/or recovery. If you get nothing while trying to do that, than yeah, I'd say your device is toast.

Well, it didn't work either.
Is it possible that wrong software can cause a phone's death? This phone is only 1.3 year old, the battery was OK.

No, brick yes but kill the phone no. Guess the hardware just gave you the old proverbial middle finger looks like. On the bright side you now have a reason to get something better.

[Q] I Actually Managed to Brick this Phone

Hey guys I think I actually did it. I was going to install the JPC Froyo Rom, and somehow booted into recovery in the ROM. Now whenever I turn the phone on it boots into recovery, and none of the button combinations work for putting it into Download mode so I can flash back to stock. On the i9000 thread it says that if you get into this situation you cannot flash back. Any of you guys run into this issue? If not then it looks like I'll be trying to convince an ATT rep to give me a new phone
Try powering off... Then hold vol up and down buttons then plug in usb.... That happened to me... Your not bricked

Connect to adb and run reboot command

Nope
Nope sorry guys I know all of what you just said. As for plugging in USB while holding volume buttons, it'll just go to that battery charging screen, and adb doesn't work because it doesn't boot past recovery. Sorry guys but yes it was bricked. It's okay though because I just went to ATT and since they can't identify the problem they just replaced the phone
Thought mine was bricked one night, too. Same scenario. Tried dropping the SIM and SD card out even though I didn't think it would make a difference, but it did. Got to download screen and reflashed with ODIN.
Good luck.

If you pull the battery, then put the battery in. hold both volume buttons buttons, and then plug the phone into the computer, it didn't boot to download?
Im curious if you even tried to use the Odin one click thread
There are 4 or 5 ways in that thread on how to get to download mode. And how exactly does this relate to development...just another curious thought. Well, you are getting a new phone, just hope that ATT or Samsung don't try to figure out the cause of your phone being "bricked".
AGAIN!
Okay after this I swear I won't be messing around with Froyo anymore. Here's the story: I got into download on the replacement captivate. Tried to install JPC froyo, but it never started flashing so I unplugged it from Odin and then tried to turn it back on. It goes to the normal "connect phone to computer" screen. However no attempts to get back into download mode have worked. Holding both volume buttons and power until second black screen doesn't work, booting while holding volume down doesn't work, holding both volume buttons and then inserting USB cable doesn't work. I think I'm stuck in this screen unless there's some incredible way I have yet to try. Anybody have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate feedback from the experienced users (Zilch25, designgears, kaik, reaver117), because I think I'd be pushing it trying to get it replaced a second time in such rapid succession
To flashman2002:
I put it in this section because it's in the development section that most flashing and such occurs so I thought there would be the greatest knowledge base. And yes I've pored over the one click thread and none of the methods mentioned there have any effect!
Jeez, I just scared the **** out of myself. I ran the remove lagfix script and it rebooted my phone but it was just a black screen. So I take the battery out. Bad Idea. It showed the ATT screen but just black after that. I could get it into recovery mode but not download. Then I messed some more and would only show a vague disconnected pic.
Finally I got it into download by doing this: (had odin open before hand)
1. took everything out including sim and usb cable.
2. quickly inserted battery and held volume buttons and very quickly inserted usb.
I'm pretty sure its the speed that matters because I tried about 4 times and only when I did it really fast did it work.

Nope. Unless you can do this with godly speed I dont think it'll work. I just got to the "Connect Phone to Computer" screen again.
You had the usb in before anything appeared on the screen right?

Yeah originally. I can get to that screen now by just putting the battery in and holding power button. It seems to behave exactly like it normally would, just can't get out of it.
What screen? The screen you want has a big yellow triangle and says download.

No it's on the phone...!...computer screen. That's what I'm saying, it's been stuck here for a while and none of the methods described on the one click thread work. I've been here before and just holding volume buttons and holding down power for it to boot twice and releasing would do it. Not so anymore. Can't get into download mode doing anything!
Well I read In the SRE thread I think that there are reports of newer phones not responding to any button combos. Bad batch they said not on purpose...
Also for the i9000 apparently you only have to hold the down volume key so since you flashed a i9000 rom try that if you haven't already.
You cant get into recovery right? Just holding volume and power then letting go of power after a bit?
Adb reboot download...

Nope none of it works. I just got it replaced less then 3 hours ago and I already bricked it. I hope somebody finds out something that'll get this fixed. Maybe some way to force download mode through a computer application or something.
Well theres adb like mentioned above but im pretty sure that requires at least recovery mode working.
Like i said before i was stuck on the same screen so maybe theres still hope.
If all else fails someone will figure out how to JTAG these things eventually...

I know it doesn't help you out now, but when you remove the lag fix, just leave it set on the black screen. It's doing its thing. It will reboot when it's done. The home keys should still light up if you press them in this state...
Well thanks for your input anyway guys. Hopefully somebody figures something out. For now I guess I'll keep the SIM in my old iPhone 3G so I at least have a phone. Tomorrow I'll go to another ATT store in my area. Chances are the rep won't know what the hell that screen means and will replace the phone promptly.

Galaxy note wont turn ON.

Hi, I am using a galaxy Note in India and it is about 14 months old. I was working on internet and it freezes in between, so this time it wont even turn off or give any option when I pressed power button so I took the battery off after about waiting for 10 min. Then I turned it back ON It gave me error Encryption Failed Reset your phone.
I again tried to restart the phone, Still the same error. I again tried to restart and this time it wont even start Nothing happen just a dead screen.
1. Battery charge is full
2. it wont turn on and when pressing vdown + middle button + power button nothing happens just black screen always.
3. Taken the battery off number of times and then also tried, No Luck.
4 Even the computer wont even recognize it.
Its just a Dead Screen no movement in screen tried all possible step No luck , it all happened suddenly.
Its just the same as it came from company (No Root not even opened its just like new phone.)
Not able to understand what can be the issue, Please help..!!!!
Thanks

How are you sure that the battery is good and charged. Normally after one year if the usage is heavy, the chances of battery down happens. So make sure battery is good. Secondly you mentioned volume down button, how about vol up button ie recovery mode?

This happened to me as well last week. Tried everything but failed.
I did below steps and my phone is up & working
1) Remove the battery and keep it in a dry place for 4-6 hours (Very important step to make this work)
2) Place the battery back into computer and do not turn ON the phone
3) Plug the phone to wall charger and charge the phone for at least an Hour (I kept for 2 Hrs)
4) Remove the charger and gently press the power button for 15 secs
5) This should turn the phone back ON
Above steps helped for me. Let me know if this worked for you also :angel:

Ankush,
In your case I can think of only 2 things
1) If you have CWM installed then
press and hold "Volume UP Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get recovery screen
If yes then all is ok & you just need to flash a new ROM
2) If you do not have CWM then
press and hold "Volume Down Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get a custom screen
If yes then you can install custom ROM (or original ROM) using ODIN.
Let me know if anything helps you here

Same kind of error
Over the night my phone closed. When I try to open it, on the screen apeared "Insert PIN to decrypt your ~something~ ". I never encrypted my phone so I tried to restart. I got stuck on the samsung logo. Then I removed the battery and put it back in and my device never started again. I have 2 batteries and none of them worked. I can charge the batteries independently and this is not the issue.

Have the same problem right now.. did you find a solution eventually?
Same happened to my device today. Had trouble with some apps before. Wanted to play back a two days old backup. But my phone never woke up again. Shut down forever. Never got to recovery. Had the latest cm11 nightly. Now its dead! RIP. My dear friend. We've gone a long way together. Never intended to replace you anytime soon. But I can't be without a Phone. Moving on to Galaxy S5 now. Hope it can fill the gapp.
Same here, completely dead after a reboot. I took it apart but I see no damage or signs of burn damage anywhere on the motherboard or other components. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and find out specifically what happened?
i am not sure, mayb the phone is design to last for only certain years, new apps launch make the phone in applicable for be running with latest apps and everything. Or mayb the phone is design with a timer to self destroy its chip or component after specific numbers of days being used??

You are a little vague on the details, but it sounds like your phone is probably in "fastboot-mode", meaning (on the Xperia Z) a black screen and no notification light nor anything else. It will stay in this mode until told to leave it by a computer or holding Power and volume up for like 10 seconds or something. The reason, in that case, that it didn't appear in flashtool could be that you have no fastboot drivers installed on your computer.
Issuing the command "fastboot continue" from a properly setup command prompt will cause it to boot up. Or, as mentioned above, hold power and vol up...

i want to ask something, could the battery dried out even after a couple of hours in this flashboot mode condition?is it possible?

does the computer detect the phone in fast boot or not [vol- + pwr] if yes download the update service from sony website and maybe it wil work .
It's a long shot, but plug it in to power then try a hard reset (hold power and volume up) for 10 seconds. The phone should vibrate 3 times.
I have a vague recollection of my phone doing something similar and it wouldn't do anything until I gave it external power.

Xperia Z1 DEAD after updating to latest firmware

I have a c9603 z1 and used the Nordic unbranded ftf to flash my phone. I unticked the three options top right so that nothing would be deleted.
Once the flash was complete, I unplugged the phone around 30 seconds after it finished flashing. Now the phone is completely and utterly dead. No power light from socket or USB
Have tried press and hold vol + power, up and down, press the little reset button..... just lost as to what else to do
Worse thing is, this impatient idiot didn't backup before updating either because I was impatient!

Try Sony Update Service and follow the steps, press the Volume-down and connect the phone to PC when asked, see if the phone is recognized by the program.
Try flashing again but this time, just untick the "Wipe data" option.

Same thing just happened to me. I only unticked wipe date though. As I didn't back up my phone. The other 2 options were ticked. unplugged phone, press power button, and it vibrates but thats it. volume up button and power button, makes the phone vibrate three times. Just put phone on charge, all I get is a blinking red LED light. I thought it was just me. What to do?? I can't afford to lose what is on my phone!
Did you tried the physical reset button under the sim card flap?
Also, you can let your phone charge for some hours, if you see a RED LED after sometime, your phone can be saved!

Red LED? maybe it's just a dead battery bro

Same thing just happened to me. I only unticked wipe date though. As I didn't back up my phone. The other 2 options were ticked. unplugged phone, press power button, and it vibrates but thats it. volume up button and power button, makes the phone vibrate three times. Just put phone on charge, all I get is a blinking red LED light. I thought it was just me. What to do?? I can't afford to lose what is on my phone!

After flashing you have to wait long time before he run up. So I don't know how long you just wait after that. I got different problem, I connect the phone via flashtool, I star the flash but the phone turn on by its self and the flash is cancelled. The best thing, nothing happen to my phone. What's that?
If you didnt unlock bootloader and flash something else, Please try sony update service.
I tried rescure a complete coma TX, it struggle a lot to flash (took longer than ususal time) and it evetually boot after 5 flashes with SUS.

No bro. I'm not too sure. I'm not new to this flashing game. I know what I was doing. Its blinking. that's never happened before. I've left it on charge for 20 minutes now. I can reflash and wipe everything but I have too much important stuff I can't afford to lose. Sudden death issue?? is it back? I will leave it for an hour and go out for a walk. Doing my head in lol. I know it's just a phone but arghhhh. Earlier on I was talking of a fresh start. God literally handed me one on a platter LOL

Yes, it's also describe on every custom rom thread. Go check. Leave the phone under charge and get a fresh air. You will solve this.

I would not say stupid things bro but I think the recognition of the phone from flashtool is given by the time you hold down the volume - ... when I do it so fast I have always an error ... then again ... maybe
@Iglesias21
happened to me a similar thing with the old xperia p when I flashed an update ... but I think a flash of this type would not hurt a phone ever so much ... the fact that the computer does not recognize the driver 's I solved it by restarting the pc as I left the phone in the office to charge it thinking it was the fault of the battery ... after retry everything was ok...

Ok, let's try again, now I will hold the volume to the beginning of the flash. Is not possible I have to hold the volume all the time.
To people, with bricked Z1 after flashing, what was your battery percentage before the flash? Coz users appear to experience a huge drop in the percentage after the flash. Maybe it emptied your batteries... I don't know, just a suggestion. Hope you can fix it by letting the phone charge for a few hours.

[Q] [HELP] My MotoG died today, for no reason. No boot or any notifications.

Hi everyone!!
Today, I woke up, and noticed that my Moto G 2nd Gen is died.
Honestly.. i don't understood what happened exactly. My phone was absolutely clean, no rom, no hacks, no strange apps, NOTHING!
Absolutely genuine and with just a few (famous) apps, like Tapatalk, Skype, Facebook etc..
Someone maybe knows what problem is it? Hope to receive help..
THANK YOU.
If it was completely clean I would send it back to Motorola for repair. It is the safest and best solution

Actually I can't do it. At the end of March I'll moving to another country.. so I'd like to try any solution to try to fix it now. As the last solution I'll try to repair it in that country.. but for now, you know, i'd like to try other options! I'm not sure yet that the phone is totally ****ed up! So my hope is still alive! ^^'

Try holding down the vol - and power buttons at the same time. Hold for 5 sec and let go. Anything?

You could try another cord and/or charger if you have any laying about. That would be on the assumption that it ran down overnight. BTW, if it is completely dead, it may take a little before you get any indication of charging.
have seen it happen several times.
This fixes most of the time
In the unlikely event that your device becomes unresponsive, frozen, blank or black screen, or will not respond to the power button, you can perform a force restart or reboot on the device by following the steps below.
Press and hold the Power button for 7 - 10 seconds, the device will restart and go through the boot-up sequence.
Notes:
The forced restart or reboot will not delete any Data on your phone.
If completing the 7-10 second Reset does not recover normal functionality of the device, then press and hold the Power Button for a full 120 seconds while connected to a charger.

This happened to me too!! A lot many times !! Strangely this seems to fix it!
Remove the sims and the sd card!
Now hold th. Power key for 2-3 minutes!! The device should boot up!!
Hope it helps
Plug it into a computer
Plug it in to a computer and tell us what happens. Does it start installing device drivers?

Yep!!! My Pc installed some drivers with success, but I can't see the storage in "My PC" section of Windows. (the led turns on also in this case for 10/20 secs).
But I tried to press the power button, also in combination with VOL DOWN, and it still doesn't make any effect.
