Hi. My phone suddenly turned off while im casually open my camera to snap photo. Tried holding the vol up+vol down+power keys simultaneously, nothing happened. Tried connecting it to pc, undetected. Tried charging with 2 different cables, nothing came out. Never had any problem before, this is my first encounter. Should i send it to service centre? or is there anything that i can try?

Hi all, I think my problem may be a bit different, Here is how I got myself in this problem.
This morning I connected phone with kies and found out that there is a 2.3.3 gingerbread upgrade available (my phone has been rooted). I decided to upgrade, but when phone showed downloading screen, at that time my damn pc crashed. Now I unplug the cable, rebooted the pc and when on to do the same again, Kies found out that there was problem in past upgrade so it asked to do an emergency upgrade stuff, but now there was a different problem on the phone. All my phone screen displays is 3 images
Phone image, a yellow triangle with exclamation (warning?), and pc image, which to me means its not connecting to pc. On pc, phone is never recognized any more.
I tried to get to dnload on phone using Volume(up or low) + Power + Home for so many times but no success, if I keep holding 3 buttons it just keeps flashing those 3 icons on the screen and that't.
Any help will be appreciated.
pull your battery out. Put it back in.
Hold Volume down+Home button, while holding those 2 also hold the power button. Phone starts. Let us know what happens.
Nothing as I mentioned before I have tried so many variations including the one you mentioned still the same, that it keeps on flashing the 3 icons (phone+warning+pc)
Use the "magical key" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
I came across that earlier today, however was hoping to find an easy solution.. Seems like JTAGing it is for this one now.,.,.
Thanks
Hold the power button for a good 10 seconds.
Then try forcing download mode. You may have to hold the 3 button combo for a bit, but don't give up. I've had it take up to a minute before.
Vol down+Home+Power
I've had my phone almost a week now. Last night the screen stopped turning on. I can hear notifications telling me the phone is on, just not the screen. I did a google search and saw similar problems on the N4 and N5. I have tried there methods now over 100 times and still no success. I am holding POWER + VOLUME-DOWN for 15-20 seconds then plugging in USB port but this in a number of variations is not working. Is anyone else having this problem and do you know of a fix for this?
Phone is not rooted if that helps.
Make sure you still have battery (plug it into the wall) then hold down volume up+volume down+power until you get into the bootloader.. From there you can flash factory images or try going into recovery (use volume up to scroll to recovery mode) and do a factory reset. Once in recovery you will need to hold down the power button and tap the volume up button once to bring up the menu for factory reset.
tried that, no luck since the screen doesnt turn on. any other ideas?
you got a sod(sleep of death). the only way around this is to press the power button for 20-25 seconds straight, then reboot. or, there a possibility that your screen stopped working.
Have you tried plugging it into the computer and giving it adb commands to boot into BL?
I wonder if this is an issue with Android in general on rare occasions since KitKat. I had this problem too on my LG G2
yeah, i tried all of these methods and gave up. at&t gave me a new one since i was under 14 days. the lady said they had a whole batch of n6 they had to ship back because of problems and that the newest batch "should" be problem free.
Hey there,
So today I was using my Xperia Z aaaand bam, phone "died".
Battery was at that time 70%, phone was a little bit hot, but in scale of 1 to 10 it was like 6. I had not problems previously with it (besides broken screen that got replaced 3 weeks ago). I was playing a game then suddenly it got closed and my screen got shifted. Like Animation of horizontal menu stucked while going to vertical. I pressed power button many times, I've keept holding it for a short time, long time... nothing. Phone did not respond at all. After 10 minutes it went black. No idea if it went "sleep" or so since power button do not work again.
I tried to reset it with Power + Volume down, Power + Volume up and again, nothing.
I've tried factory reset with Sony Companion but no luck either. Phone is NOT detected by that program.
However, when I plug the phone to PC I hear sound that some device has been found. Phone is presented now as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. I've heard that not a good sign...
When I plug it to PC or Charger nothing happens so I have no idea if phone is getting charged or not.
What even more confusing, when I press power button - nothing, phone is COLD. But when I press Power + Volume down after a while it starts to get warm, after a long time of repeating this really warm.
Any ideas what could I do?
Thanks!

You phone has locked or unlocked bootloader? If unlocked, give a try to enter Fastboot mode and flash any custom ROM

Can you phone enter flashmode ? Does any LED indicator shows up when holding Volume +/- whilst connecting cable in PC (USB)?
Could someone point me into a direction what exactly the problem is? I have used this phone on unofficial LineageOS 18.1 for a few months but suddently after dropping it from not all to high the screen displayed lines and colors similar to those that you see when you drop your phone into water (there was no water contact and the phone didn't fall that great of a distance, maybe like 1 meter/ 3ft).
My first guess is that the screen is broken, but I tried using ADB to extract some files still on the device but was unable to, especially I can't boot into fastboot or recovery it seems...
When pressing the power button the phone vibrates
Pressing the power button and volume down key reboots the phone (as seen on PC). Holding them down a long time shuts the device off or something. it can only be turned back on when plugged in.
I tried all possible button combinations to enter fastboot or EDL but nothing seems to work (Power + Volume Up / Volume Up + Volume Down while connecting to a PC with USB 2.0).
On my PC the device shows up as "MTP USB Device", everytime, not sure if I'm doing the EDL thing wrong...
EDIT: After leaving the device for a day, it suddenly started to vibrate and repeat the sound I guess plays when battery is low, over and over again in an increasing volume. The volume buttons had no effect as did the power button until it stopped and then didn't respond anymore. After plugging it in again it was back to vibrating once after i pressed the power button. What mode is this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated, not sure if it is even bricked but it seems off that I can't enter fastboot or anything else (like EDL), thanks!

Id tell you to flash raw firmware if possible, a friend of mine had a problem with audio and whatsapp and random stutters, flashing the raw firware for rog 3 may help, sorry but my knowledge aint that great.
looks like your phone is bricked. you can try the below workaround.
[UNBRICK/RAW] Revive your bricked ASUS ROG Phone 3 [23-NOV-2021]
Unbrick your ASUS ROG Phone 3 for free!! Don't pay for this stuff anywhere, it's your device and you deserve the right to fix it yourself. I noticed some people in the community charging upto 50$ for the firmware which should've been free from...

Today I was in the car and using TeslAA Android Auto app on my Pixel 5a. At one point, the phone froze for a period and was unresponsive to any buttons. It then powered off, which I thought was restarting, but it never came back on. No matter what buttons I held down for how long, it was completely unresponsive. Nothing on the screen at all. I tried plugging it into my computer and when I held down the power button I could hear the USB sound on the computer. A long press (as if a hard reboot) would make it sound like I had unplugged the phone, and then pressing it again would sound like I plugged it back in. But still nothing on the screen. I have had zero issues with the phone up until now. What can I try?
I also tried power and volume down, but still nothing on the screen. It's like my screen completely died suddenly.

did you try power + vol down + vol up? all 3 at once for about 30 seconds then power on? that is a hard reset
Yeah I tried it all. I ended up realizing that for a problem like this, there's an additional year of warranty coverage, so I sent it into google for a free repair. So that was a nice surprise!
