The situation- Friend gave me his htc g1 which had a cracked lcd but was in full working order, got it repaired from a shop. Couple of weeks later whilst attempting to root the phone the screen died, opened it up and the flex cable was broken. Repaired it myself this time and once I did the backlight now worked but there was no picture. It plugs into the computer fine,I think I've factory reset it(it vibrated a second time after i held the keys). Any ideas on how I can fix the problem or what could be the problem? I have tried to unroot with a blank screen as well and so I have no idea what the status of the phone software wise is...Although I can hear sounds occasionally when I press the camera button or the volume buttons when the phone is on- It vibrates when it is turned on.
Kind regards, Nabeel
Is it bricked? IS there anythign I can try? Any help would be appreciated...
Bump =(...I am currently trying to drain the battery and then charging it overnight....This may take a while....
Battery was drained,charged it up using my computer and a min-usb cable, still nothing...Is it bricked...Any help would be nice...
Hey all,
I just installed a new digitzer on my Vivid. Everything went fine, and nothing broke as I was taking apart the phone, or putting it back together.
Now that the phone is back together, however, it is having some problems.
First off, When I try to power the phone on, it vibrates like usual, but then doesn't display anything. The phone then proceeds to enter in to a bootloop and keeps vibrating every couple moments. When plugged in to the computer, the orange light comes on for a few seconds, then turns off. Windows will not recognize the phone. All the while, the screen is completely black, and none of the lights come on for the buttons either.
The phone was working fine before replacing broken digitizer.
The phone is NOT rooted, nor has it ever been. I am running stock ICS.
have tried entering Hboot with no avail.
Any advice?
Thank you!
Can you get into any other modes? Try to get to hboot(hold down power button and volume down) while plugged into computer. Should take it to fastboot.
how long for? I tried holding down for a good 30 seconds...nothing happened other than my orange light turning off
I noticed with mine I had to go with:
Remove battery.
Replace battery
hold vol down + power
few seconds later release power
few seconds later in hboot
YMMV due to repair.
You can also try a knoppix boot disc and some tutorial to see if you can find any sign of life off the phone in dmesg.
hope this helps some.
Sounds like a loose connection. Make sure that you've correctly reconnected all internal connections. Especially the connection under the little door with the void sticker on the screw in the battery compartment. If after verifying all connections are made and proper, the problem persists, I'm sorry to say you may have physically damaged the connectors during disassembly. Please visually inspect all connections for damage. A powerful magnifying glass is recommended.
(I have successfully replaced my digitizer twice, and my LCD panel once on this phone...)
Sent from my HTC Dark Raider using XDA.
I have taken it apart twice, checked all connections, and everything is good. Phone cannot enter any boot mode, and computer still doesn't recognize it. The orange light still only stays on for a few seconds when plugged in, then turns off. The phone then proceeds to keep trying to restart itself, but the screen remains pitch black blank
idk.. get a replacement.?
Hi,
I recently went on vacation taking my 11-month old HTC One with me. Everything was working fine until one afternoon I went for a swim and returned, only to find my phone not switching on. That was puzzling, since it had about 50% charge left, and I was gone only for about 30 minutes, keeping the phone in my bag. I returned to my room and kept it on charge. No blinking red LED, no solid LED, nothing. Started to panic and tried various solutions specified here, all button combos I knew of (Power, Power+Vol Up, Power+Vol Down, Power +Vol Up+Vol Down, Light trick), but nothing worked. Connected phone to PC, and could hear the familiar 'USB Connected' sound, but nothing else apart from that, no storage device detection, nothing. Tried ADB, fastboot but since device is not being detected, they're useless. Kept it on charge for the whole night, still no response.
Decided to sent it in to HTC Service Centre, guess what, they call me back and say there's LIQUID DAMAGE to my phone's motherboard and I'll have to choke up Rs.14500 (around $250) to get it repaired. I argued vehemently that the phone was nowhere near water but to no avail. I took the phone back from them and was by now totally in despair. Kept it in rice for 2 days, still nothing. Tried out a local repair shop but the guy there has no idea about single case phones. My phone has everything stock, stock ROM, stock Sense OS and with Android 4.3 updated. I am really at my wits end now, and can't afford to pay that much, particularly considering the amount I had to cough up to get it. Guys, please HELP!! :crying:

I don't think we can help you with hardware damage. Your phone's motherboard is dead... from liquid damage or not idk but the fact is that it must be replaced and you have to pay someone to do the job or buy the part and fix it yourself if you have the high level skills required.
Sorry ;(

But how can it be concluded that my phone has hardware damage if I haven't done anything to it?? My phone's still under warranty..
Achilles try holding the power button and volume up under a bright light for two minutes. I know it sounds crazy but it worked for many people with similar issues.

I did try that as I specified above, held the device with Vol Up + Power, Vol Down + Power under a bright CFL light (tube), no response.
Try plugging it into a USB port ..leave it for about an hour...and then unplug and immediately plug it back into a wall socket..and while it's plugged in, try powering it up after about 10 mins...I've seen this working more times than one for the Galaxy Tab 3..no harm in trying it out.
On a lighter note, are you sure you didn't take the One along for the swim ??

Thanks.. Will try that too.. And no..I remember coming back and taking it out of my bag..
Nothing has worked. I really don't seem to have any choice now but to give in the phone for repair.
Hello, sorry if this question had been posted before. I just confusing with my Xperia Z1. It's just blank screen, no Sony logo, no boot animation, etc.
I've tried to hold power+vol up but nothing happen. When i put the charge on and i press the power+vol up, it vibrate three times and nothing happen.
What should i do with this?? I hope it's not hardware failure.
Thx for the answer and suggestion.

When you hear the three times vibration then you shutting down your phone and after that the phone is turned off completely, then leave it under wall charger via USB or Dock for minimum 4 hours, if it do not turn on then you have to flash a new Firmware OR Repair via PC Companion. Download Official Sony PC Companion and repair your phone. Other way is to use Flashtool and download the latest FTF from Mega Collection and flash it. Then it should turn on.
hi
i have the same problem with my z1 xperia
the pc companion wont see my phone to preform any kind of repair
any ideas
thanks
if nothing is happening just the LED red blinks even when you put the device in the charge, its hard bricked and will be fixed just with opening the phone and relive it with test point ...
maybe this thread will help you:

If it's brick, no prob, let's begin
Requirements:
The latest Flash Tools version, the latest FTF file of your phone, or any FTF file you want
Plug your phone to AC charger for about one or two minutes, and if you see red LED, now your phone is OK
1) If your phone has more than 50 percent charges, you can unplug it
2) If it has less 50 percent, let it charge for about an hour or more till it reaches 70 percent
So, no matter the first way or second, after you unplug it, now you can now connect your phone via USB and flash it
If you do everything correctly and if nothing goes wrong, after flashing, you can use your phone without any problem
If you couldn't do it, inform me to help you more
Look at the micro sd slot. Is there a red stripe? Or white?
If red, it's a water damage

It happened exactly the same with mine. I was on stock rom, and went to the swimming pool with it. But the stripe is white.
I cannot turn it on and only get the red light blinking when is plugged into the charger...

Try the hard brick fix (if you have warranty send to Sony instead). I doubt it'll do anything because it seems by your decription the hardware is damaged physically, but its worth a shot.

Drain your battery completely
By Pressing and holding volume up and power button for 15 second, no vibration dont worry just hold it for 15 seconds and forget your phone for 1-2 days
Get working charger and usb cable check it then connect charger to phone there should be red light
Leave your phone for 3-4 hours
Now disconnect your phone from charger
Again check usb cable and drivers in pc
Open flashtool and get stock ftf ready for flashing
Once the dialog box appears with phone's animation
press and hold just volume down button and connect your phone with pc and immediately Release volume down button as soon as dialogue box disappears
Then disconnect phone when instructed in flashtool and wait for 4-5 minutes
Now try to turn on the phone.
Main thing is to have patience
This should work as i have my phone in same hardbricked state twice and this brought life in my phone back..!
This fixed mine

I hope, your solution works for me too. I ordered a battery and waiting for delivering it. If it won't work, I'll write here to help someone like us who wants to order a new battery.
Edit:
After battery changing, the phone worked. I don't know why, but it had been locked and rebooted repeatedly. Then I resetted to the factory settings. After that, it has been started to run well.
Guys my z3c is dead coz of water damage.
The device simply doesn't boot/start anymore..
Tried
Holding the Power + Volume key
Pressing the yellow reset button beside the sim card slot
NO REACTION.
The LED notification keeps blinking continuously when connected via charger or laptop..
The Red LED notification just stays on without blinking when the device is connected partially to laptop.
Is the device bricked?? ( Soft / Hard)
How worse could the device be damaged?
Biggest concern; Is there ANY POSSIBLE way at all to recover the data present in the device's Internal Memory??? :crying:
The mobile is not rooted.. Not unlocked..
try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days to see if it comes back to life
