Bionic is Not Turning On.

It's not rooted and doesn't have anything on it. Pretty much stock. Sent a text msg this morning and checked my email from it. Came back to it abt 20 minutes later and it won't even turn on. Tried charging it. Won't turn on. Tried swapping with my regular battery (which was fully charged when I put it away. It could be dead by now.). Nothing. Tried removing the battery, waiting, replacing the battery. Nothing. I did briefly get the M Dual Core icon and then all went blank.
Suggestions?

Back to VZW. Sounds like a faulty handset.
Good Luck,

I second this.

Without going through the pain of returning it, would you be able to connect it to your computer, and reflash the (is it TRZ?) file through the new RSD Lite through the stock bootloader? Definitely worth a try.

Thanks, all.. Hauled my cookies 30 minutes over to Verizon. The sales rep assumed I hadn't bothered to charge my phone. When he realized it wasn't the battery, he was extremely helpful and replaced the phone on the spot. He said he'd never seen that before and with a phone less than 1 month old, I shouldn't have those kinds of issues. Kudos to Verizon for a pleasant experience. I've had some bad experiences in the past, but this gentleman was helpful and didn't try to sell me any accessories! ;p (They always try to sell me something when I'm there.)

This is referencing what one would do if the software had an issue, if it does this will fix it but kinda sounds like hardware. I have returned my Bionic to stock twice its fairly easy, computer does almost everything. Here is this to get you going if you wanna do it.

Just remember, phone has to be in fastboot mode to be detected by RSD Lite and once its detected and the file starts flashing, if it seems like its not making progress while saying otherwise, dont unplug it just wait

One would need the ability to turn the phone on in the first place for this to be attempted. That's why no one was mentioning the FXZ.

The phone booted to the dual core M logo, which with myself that happens to be as far as mine would go when i successfully flashed my FXZ. The phone needs to boot to the fastboot screen which can be done on many occasions that the phone can get to the first logo, as long as there is battery left.
....
But congrats on the new replacement i just saw that after i posted

It hasn't happened to me but I have to pull the battery on my wifes Bionic at least once a week and twice in one day. It would just go away suddenly and act like it was dead. I may return it for a replacement.

if anyone has exchanged their Bionic for a replacement because of the BSOD defect, will you please provide feedback in this thread? thanks

hi all:
just bought a bionic off ebay for cheap ($20 + free ship) but it has problems
it was being sold as "battery with water damage but phone is not but wont power on"
he said one night he left it in his drawer and when he woke up it didn't work anymore he tried removing battery and all that.
to my understanding the battery was previously water damaged and he could still use it and then got the wont power on later on.
anyhow to my question
the phone comes today with just the phone, water damaged battery and wall charger.
should I cut the end off the charger and do the wires to the battery and insert battery into phone and plug usb cord from laptop to the phone?
isn't this the correct way for bsod and a non water damaged battery?
is there anyway to test the waterdamaged battery to see if it could still be good?
I have a multimeter

Touchscreen issues after jb update.

Wife wanted me to ask this about.her phone. When the phone is plugged in the touchscreen gets all wacky. She could be touching the bottom of the screen and register at the top. When she tries to scroll it will instead click on something. When she tries to bring down the notification bar it won't do it. If the phone isn't plugged in everything works as it should.
Might as well say it now she won't let me root the phone. Even though I know it would fix most of her issues. So its not an option. So any insight would be helpful.

Use a genuine Moto charger, and you should be fine.

I've found this is the case if you are using non-OEM chargers. I've tried a few that have come with cradles, etc, and the cheap ones mustn't be up to the job, and cause these erratic touchscreen problems.
Are you using a genuine Motorola charger? I've not had the problem with one of those.
Cheers,
Steve.

No she isn't using the moto charger that came with the phone. She's going to try that and see what it does. Thanks for the suggestion.

Completely stock Xperia z crashed and now seems bricked

The phone is my mums, never rooted never unlocked just 100% stock. She was playing candy crush or something when it crashed. It never came back on no matter how much it was charged. Not detected by pc either, sent to a repair shop and they couldn't get anything to work. Can't send to Sony because the backs been opened now so I really don't know what to do
This happened before once too and that time a long charge (about 10 hours perhaps) fixed it
This time, when connected to charger the red LED appears for almost exactly half a minute then dies out and doesn't come back

You say the phone was completely stock so it couldnt have been a software error, either a hardware piece of the phone is malfuctioning or the phone died

trying to fix it will cost more than buying a new one because you will have to buy every hardware piece and try one at a time or as a last resort you could try flashtool (but it will need debugging activated)

yep its dead nothing you can do, though you could try selling the touchscreen( they are quite expensive) or any other fuctioning part

How to recover a hard bricked Nexus 6

I flashed Android N Preview as a secondary ROM using MultiROM, everything worked perfectly, no issues what so ever.
After a day when I was listening to music using Spotify the phone suddenly switched of abruptly with battery over 90%
Since then I couldn't able to switch on the phone again.
No bootloader, no Recovery, Its not booting at all. No response from the phone.
I think it is dead.
Changed the Battery to new one.
Not worked. No sign of anything.
When I plugged in the charger the LED light is on, but I don't think its charging phone is not warm while it is plugged in.
In fact it felt like so chill.
So, I don't know how to recover my phone.
BTW, the phone's bootloader unlocked, rooted stock ROM as the primary one.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Did you try to press the power button for 15-20 seconds? That's a weird problem.

The same happened to me.,and my phone is stock and locked. Its bricked. Nothing we tried helped

the back plastic sheet is held on with adhesive, I would apply heat first then work it open with a tool like isesamo or maybe a thin credit card or guitar pick. underneath there are 20 torx iirc can't remember size and another plastic shell with many holes in it. this cover, the wireless charging coil, and battery are adhered together i think and there are two small rubber covers for the power button (top) and battery (bottom). remember to disconnect your ribbon cables and treat them carefully.
the real problem imo lies in reassembly. i have repaired many and never feel they are the same as they came from the factory mostly because the back cover doesn’t re-adhere well. invest in some quality 3m adhesive, even a pre cut if you can manage.

Yeah done everything I have in my power nothing works.
Asked service center to check they said the phone is dead.
To get it repaired it will cost 3500 for me, they said.
Damn it.
Don't know what to do.

Now they said that the motherboard is dead, I need to change it inorder to get it work again.
Is it possible like this kind of problem occurs?
I was in Android N listening to Spotify

Putting a pre release OS on a phone, especially using a hack like multi rom, was indeed a recipe for disaster..
I'm certain that your partitions somehow got corrupted, and that results in a un bootable phone
Hopefully, someone reading this thread, who is thinking about doing something suicidal like that will learn from your mistake, but your phone is toast, unless you can get it J-Tagged, which might not even be available for your N6

I've heard the term j-tag a lot before. What does that mean

My phone is officially dead. Service center said that the motherboard is weak and is impossible to repair and only fix is to replace the whole motherboard to a newer one. That would cost me a lot like i could get a new for it and they even suggested me to exchange this phone to a newer one.
And now i got Nexus 6P and I love it so much.
But God i really miss my Nexus 6.
Thanks for the help and suggestion here.
Long live xda.
I couldn't resist to unlock bootloader. Flash multirom and stock root and xposed.
That's the heaven, i can't live without.
I have done it all after i opened the 6P from its box. Lol.
May be i am fastest one to do it.
Thanks xda and friends from it.

Did you try holding the power button for +/- 30 seconds (you might have already done this but just saying)

ive had this happen to me before when i installed a rom. i do believe it is the calibration for the Amoled screen. It usually takes about a quarter second though.... When mine got stuck i let the battery die then used fastboot to wipe my phone. My phone responded to fastboot even in that state twrp loaded okay after that.
