Hey,
Yesterday, as i was putting my phone back into my pocket i failed and it felt down on the street. So I picked it up, hoping my diamond could bear this, but the screen was black. I tried to restart it, but it didn`t worked. i tried to remove the battery and restart - nothing. The screen remains black. Although, it vibrates as usual when i press the power button, but the boot screen don't show off. I tried to connect it via USB to my Pc but no connetion. I don't think the screen is broken, because the backlight is still working, but no bootscreen or everything. I just got it back from repair 2 weeks ago, and till yesterday, everything worked juste fine. I don't know if everyone had already had such a problem or know what to do.
Repair again? I think you can't fix this problem by yourself.
screen Black
Probably the internal Flex-cable is released. You must open the Diamond, removing the screws and see if the FLEX CABLE below SIM-CARD not this out. Look for a tutorial to learn how to disassemble the diamond. it's your risk. let me know if you need some help to do it.

I have the same issue, did Yuo find any solution?
Same thing here. Screen froze while updating Facer then went blank. Long press on the crown to shut it down and then pressing again to restart it does not even display the startup animation. Android Wear app on phone shows it is connected though so it appears it is a screen driver issue. Haven't go the dock with me to try powrring it off then placing it on the charger to see if that wakes it up differently. Wish there was a way to perform a full reset via the app to see if it helps before returning it.
Same problem
:crying: I have the same problem do you found the solution ????? Apparently the watch is connected to my phone but the screen still black without responding.
I fixed this problem

If you can feel the vibration and the watch is connected in your phone, the problem is not so bad, the solution I found was trying pressing the button at the right side until the watch stop the vibration several times, then the logo of Lg will appear in the screen, as soon as you see the logo touch the screen from 11 to 5 making a diagonal, and that's it.
Please be patient and don't give up the logo will appear and if you make the diagonal on the screen the reset menu will appear as well.
Not working any more

You do have to delete, the android wear, the facer and the watchmaker then reinstall the android and see if the watch is ok, reinstall all but be sure that everything is for android wear 5.0 all have to be compatible.
Regards.

still nothing
any way to reset the watch (full factory reset ) ?
Two most hardcore way to reset it is this:
1) Press the crown until the watch vibrates and turns off
2) press it again until it turns on
3) swipe from top-left to the bottom-right corner, phone will boot into bootloader mode
4) select "RECOVERY" and confirm (use the symbols on the bottom of the screen)
5) it should boot into recovery
6) tap the screen, menu should display
7) using swipes (as indicated on the screen) select factory reset and confirm
8) select reboot
you watch should be brand new...
Recover first

Don't do it. The factory reset it must be your last choice. Because after that your watch don't going to be able pairing with your phone.
First make sure you delete all related with the wear from your phone. Try to restore your watch pressing the button until the Lg logo appear as soon as you see the logo press the screen from 11 to 5 making a diagonal, then enter to the recovery mode the watch will show it. Recover the system.
the screen is not active - no lg boot logo , and when i swipe (blindly) to get into bootloader still no screen
I've connected the watch to the computer and it connected so i know its in bootloader
I don't think there's nothing else to do but to return it
can't return it :| will give it another go later
Do you delete all applications before do the recovery mode .. The problem sometimes come because the facer or the watchmaker are not the new versions for aw 5.0. Or because you don't installed the android wear from the playstore ( use a external download ) .1 - The cure is delete all from the phone (apps ) and after reinstall all in the watch.2- If you have the screen totally off. You can try to recover the watch with adb but I down know the method for it.. 3 - the problem after the factory reset is that after it if your watch is still with the black screen the only solution is send it back for warranty but if your wife is able to start again so do you have to reinstall the android wear from the playstore and after all your apps bit taking care that all are compatible wit AW 5.0.
I hope this help you..
If he resets the watch but the LG logo isn't there, is able to get to bootloader but nothing shows on display - that's _NOT_ caused by any application. It's a hardware fault, no doubt about that.
Yes agree . In case that the watch after a factory reset still continue with the problem , the only explication is a hardware failure ,may be in the intern memory ... But in this case the only solution will be send the watch to warranty ...

Hi Alex,
Did you end-up sending your watch to warranty? Currently having the same problem with mine

Hello all, something weird happened to my phone today and I would please like some help to get it back working.
So as I was in the ebay application when the phone suddenly froze. I left it for a minute hoping that it will unfreeze but it didn't. So I long pressed the power button in order to do a hard reset. The phone shut down and then its started booting but it got stuck at the Samsung logo with the yellow triangle. I thought that was weird as it never did this before, so I long pressed the power button in order to do another hard reset. But since then, the phone is dead.
It cannot start, when I plug it in the charger the battery icon doesn't show, and I cannot get into recovery or download mode
I have tried removing the battery/simcard/sd card but nothing seemed to work. The phone was running Nightowl's Marshmallow rom.
About a month ago I changed the charging port flex cable with a cheap one off ebay. Could that be the culprit? It seemed to work fine though.
Does this mean the end of the long life of my device or is there any hope of reviving it back?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hello. It is probably a hardware problem. Take it to service center to check the usb micro port, pmc or emmc. Or just leave it alone for some time and try to boot it again.
Hey guy. I have a problem with my watch. It is blinking the screen and I can't even enter settings. Only voice search works. I tried restarting it.
Is there a way I can reflash firmware without turning on adb ?
Here is a video showing the issue.
EDIT: I managed to enter recovery, but when I tap the green robot no options are available.
Wow! This just happened to my watch yesterday! I can't pull the video up, but my guess is it is the same thing - once it boots up, it just flashes on and off continuously. If I restart it, it just comes back up the same way. I cannot get into settings, I cannot connect to it from my phone, and I cannot perform a factory reset because the green Android in recovery mode has a red exclamation mark above him. It is completely dead.
And the best part - I am 37 days outside of the warranty period and LG wants to charge me to fix it. It is a $350 watch that barely lasted a year! Please, if anyone has any suggestions, please please please post here.
To fix it press top button + crown while in recovery. Wipe data/factory reset and reboot.
Im 99% sure it is caused by some update. Is your watch w280a too?
Thank you so much. Took a few tries of pressing top button and crown for my watch to boot into the reset option. Eventually got it right. Thank you so much. Saved me from a haveing a dumb expensive bracelet.
Hello,
Today I didn't notice that I need to charge my phone, so it eventually turned itself off. Later I knew I received an important SMS that I wanted to check but I didn't have the charger at hand so I tried to turn it on twice. Both times the Mi logo showed up, then the phone immediately turned off. The 3rd time I tried to turn it on, nothing happened.
When I was finally able to connect a charger, nothing happened. The screen doesn't turn on, the Mi logo or battery logo doesn't show up, the small LED doesn't react either. The charger was heating up so I knew something is happening so I left my phone there. When the charger started to cool down I knew that the charging is done, so I tried to turn on my phone again but nothing happened.
I have TWRP 3.3.1-0 and LineageOS 16.0 20200422 Nightly installed.
I have tried to press Pwr+VolUp but nothing happened.
I have tried Pwr+VolDn and FASTBOOT showed up. From here I tried to reboot by holding either Pwr or Pwr+VolUp or Pwr+VolDn.
By holding Pwr+VolUp or Pwr+VolDn the device turns off.
By holding the Pwr button, the Mi logo shows up for a split second then the phone turns off.
At this point I stayed in FASTBOOT and connected my phone to my PC and tried to use the Flasher Toolkit Nikel V3 (the tool I used when I installed TWRP and the custom ROM and whenever a LineageOS update bricked the phone) to reboot or boot into recovery, TWRP.
The phone doesn't react to any commands which is really strange, never had this issue before.
If I try fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-santoni.img I get the error "unlock device to use this command." Which is really really strange because I had it unlocked before.
So currently I cannot turn on my phone, I can only reach FASTBOOT and nothing else. My main goal would be to backup data (photos etc), reviving the phone is only secondary.
I was searching the whole day on the internet and couldn't find anything that helped.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Try charging with different USB and charger.
Also you may want to remove the back panel and disconnect the battery connecter from motherboard and reconnect it after few seconds and try charging with charger.
Proceed carefully if you wish to remove back panel in order to not damage any device components to be precise the fingerprint flex cable which is glued to back panel.
This is what helped me to revive my phone but I couldn't find any trusted stock ROM sources so I installed a stock ROM from androidmtk.com and xiaomistockrom.com.
Can someone please tell me if they are safe or not? And if not, can someone please link me a Redmi 4X stock ROM I could use with the XiaoMi Flash Tool?
Also, it seems the phone cannot detect anything in the 2nd SIM slot. How can I fix it?
