Hi guys, I've been using this rom for a weeks now without any problems until this. I left my phone to charge overnight and turned the charger off when I woke up. I didn't touch my phone until after I got home from school and it's suddenly like this. The power button does nothing, I don't think the 3 buttons do anything. I'm stuck. I created an account just for this. I hope someone will be able to help! I also enabled Battery Doctor's cpu management when the screen is off if it changes anything. Thank You!

Hey, do you maybe have backup from previous rom before flashing? Can you even enter recovery? If yes then try wiping cache..
I hope i helped!

I'm sorry for replying so late but no, I can't seem to be able to get a response from the phone. I also forgot to do a backup which is quite stupid of me. It all happened so suddenly too. Do you think it could be a hard brick?

I am afraid it is .. always do a backup... if you get no response from Odin flashing, nor recovery it's hard brick , as far i know.
There's still 1 more way, the JIG... you can get it from ebay for couple dollars , it's like micro usb which is used for all samsung S models i also read that it was tested for S3 mini and works .. soo try that.
no response from buttons.
Old trick.. Pull your battery hold all three buttons whilst replacing battery. With a bit of luck you should get into either recovery or download mode. Then load a stock rom via odin. Hope this helps.
Another thought has your battery somehow totally drained?

Hi. Ok, first of all I have done some research on the forum, but I haven't really found any answer for my problem.
I have a Htc touch diamond. And I installed a rom from the forum, i beleive it was the "shine"-rom. However now i gets weird....
The day after, everything was normal, and then all of a sudden my backlight gets really dim. Ok, could be a small bug i thought.
A few hours later it got darker and it was hard to see what was on the display.
And later on the evening it got almost all black. I couldn't quite tell what was what on the display.
The next day, and still, its totally dead. There is no light in the "ring" when i plug in the charger, and i cant get it to show any life.
I have tried everything, left it in the charger for a whole day, swapped battery, reset, hard reset, super hard reset. left it without battery for a day. Nothing.
Help me out. Any ideas?
Ps. There is no warranty on the phone.
Thanks!!
Wow... have not seen this before...
Even now, are you unable to even switch on your diamond? If you can't, don't see any way to revive it. If you can, try to flash another ROM and see if it improves...
How?
How can I flash it again, if I cant even turn it on? hmmm....
Help
Nothing? No idea?
I opened it up, but that didn't shed any major light on the situation....

Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}
If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there

Nope. He can't even get it to turn on. Don't think it'll be able to boot into bootloader...

It just seems odd that bootloader won't even load. If it was something that damaged the OS then the BL should at least fire up. But, I just re-read everything again & see that there is no mention of Hard-SPL, so maybe it damaged the Boot sector as well.
If he didn't Hard_SPL then: This is a great example as to why you should always Hard-SPL before flashing anything.
If he did Hard_SPL: Then this is one for the medical journals {a disease that no-one's heard of & it's a killer}
Strange
Hi again.
I did actually Hard-Spl. And i have tried different ROM's earlier and I never had any problems.
I dont have a clue what to do, and without any warranty im basicly screwed.
I was thinkin, maybe I could get som spare part? Seeing how the "ring" doesn't even light up when I plug in the charger??
//
When my "ring" didn't light up I had to send the phone back to HTC and they changed the motherboard. Phone wasn't charging or turning on at all.
I've got an X1 here that's not booting at all anymore. No matter what I try, it won't boot. When I connect it to the computer it's being detected as Microsoft USB Sync and that's all I'm getting from the phone. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Remove the battery cover and take out the pen. You will find a hole on the right side at the bottom that would be covered by the pen if were inside. This is the location of the reset button. Keep pressing that button with the pen for about 5 to 10 seconds. Helped me boot my phone two times already when it didn't do anything anymore.
Apparently the problem is the battery, it appears to not be able to charge whatsoever. Going to try a different one later on. Appreciate the help though

I agree...........
Hmm, I think the problem might be the ROM. It started acting up after I installed Energy ROM on the device. Any thoughts?

you did a hard reset after flashing?
in case the answer is yes and you really think it's rom related best address the respective rom thread
if other users encounter(ed) the same issue the best chance of finding the solution will be there
if everything else fails you might have to flash again...
I'm just going to re-flash it then, if it doesn't solve the problem I can always flash it back. Will report back.
It's been charging all day now, it's charging quite slow though. However, it appears to work just fine now, it's just that the battery is acting quite weird. Going to test it tomorrow to see if it acts up again.
Thanks for the help
having a strange problem. was having a normal day with my phone, then at some point in the day I tried turning it on and nothing. No matter what I have done the screen just doesn't come on. Here are a ist of things I tried doing.
- Take batterry out for over a minute then try and turn it on. FAILED
- take battery out the plug phone into computer and turn it on. FAILED
- Tried to enter both recovery mode and download mode. FAILED
The phone simply does not respond to any button inputs. Have had the phone for almost a year and ZERO issues. Use the phone lightly and its in top condition.
Any help will be appreciated.
Try a different battery. You have rooted the phone? Give us more info about the phone like custom ROM and what do u suspect to be the probem.
Lorddeff have you heard of sds?

Yh, rooted and all that. Ben rooted from the first day I got it. Using philz safe kernel with the ultimate TW ROM. Never did any funky stuff on the phone. I'm pretty sure that its not from a battery cause I have two of those and I am sure its not from a bad flash or something. My last flash was over a month ago and the phone was working perfectly until it literally just stopped working like 5 mins after the last time I used it.

I have now... and thanks for that link. Looks promising. Though it means I would have to ship my phone out, which I guess is a lot better than doing nothing.
Hello developers,
Suddenly my note cant start any more, it shows the Samsung logo and then turn off.
in rare cases it will continue to the splash screen but then quickly turn off. ...
what would this be,,, a soft brick,,, a hard brick,,, or a battery problem,,,,

Easiest way to make sure it's not a battery problem is just to buy a new one from ebay and eliminate the possibility.
But it sounds like an internal problem to me, not software related. You could try a wipe.

I did a factory reset ( I was on JB then) and didn't solve the issue. when the phone is connected to the charger it can go beyond the Samsung logo and the splash screen for a while but will turn off quickly. without a charger it will only show the Samsung logo and then turn OFF.
Can you go into recovery, plug the cable, and then power off the phone? leave it like that for few minutes.
I can go into the download mode but not recovery.... what does that mean???? Tried your other suggestion, but no luck...!!
Is your battery swollen if looking at the side and you say it will go past splash screen if plugged into charger so does that mean it will boot into the Rom if plugged in or does it just stay splash screen and also if not able to get into recovery could mean something happened with the kernel so flashing a fresh jb Rom with Odin maybe what you need. The problem with that is if your battery is bad it could cause more problems trying to flash anything with dead battery as in bricking the device. So you should start with new battery and let charge a few hours then see if your phone boots up if not then you could flash with pc Odin and go from there.

He should try kernel option you gave him, if everything else failed. I read around there were like 3 people with same situation. Maybe they used the same thing?
Search philz kernel, download one or two, and flash those in odin. Its a safe kernel, and powerful cwm.
He probably fixed by now. Hope so, for his own good.
Issue Solved, It was broken battery, Changed the batter and the phone is working again. Thanks everybody for your help....

by any chance, do you know what were the old battery voltages under measurements?
Hello everyone.
I just got my xperia x8 from my brother because he didn't know how to fix it.
The phone seems like it has not even a scratch.
The issue is that everytime i turn it on it is just turning on and off and on and off again and again.
I don't even have time to input my pin.
The battery always seems to be drained although i charge it occasionally.
I have updated it's os with pc companion, but it keeps doing the same thing.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it?

try to flash stock frimware through flash tools(this wipes the data & reinstalls the system partition)
Normally flashing fixes all software fault but if your hardware is damaged so you shouldnt be hopeful.
I think its a sw problem but even an empty battery can cause exactly the same react.(put another battery then try flashtools)
Hope i could help you

that's our little greek secret... no modifications to the software but he kinda had troubles with this mobile for the whole period of time he owned it.he didn't receive messages in the particular device as far as i can remember. the battery doesn't seem to have anything wrong though.it is just sliiiightly puffed but nothing that alerting.i mean i havent charged it for a long time and it can still power the mobile's "neverending loop". if there was a problem wouldnt it not turn on at all or something? i don't have an extra battery and i'm thinking of getting through with the flash stock romafter i charge it a bit.. should i? and if yes, how? i've never done that (a guide would be great )
