so basically the moral of the story is to not be impatient or else you'll brick your phone.
that should be the idea everyone in the community keeps in mind anyways.

Wont turn on as-in when you press the power button absolutely nothing happens?
Take the battery out and press power a few times, then put the battery back in and try again

Did you apply the OTA twice, if you did naughty naughty. You have a brick.
Also have you tried a battery pull?

As far as I know, bricking a radio update would atleast still allow you to turn the phone on, it would just be stuck at initializing the bootloader, correct me if I'm wrong anyone--
Also I would not bring it into a verizon store. Wait until the official OTA is released, then say you had a problem with that.

Just let your service continue as normal.
Also, silly question, I know, but have you tried variations of plugging it in/unplugging with/without battery?
And when you plug the phone in, does the charge light come on?

The update should be here in less than a month. Didn't you get the insurance? Just claim it lost/stolen. If you have a moral dilemma in doing that then just toss it in a dumpster or a lake. Then claim it lost/stolen.

Can you hold power + optical button to boot to bootloader and recovery? If so you could possible get it fixed of you follow this guide:
http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
If your phone doesnt function at all you could attempt the following.
You could just say this at a Verizon store.
I charged my phone last night, when I woke up this morning the back of the phone was extremely hot almost to hot to hold and when I tried to turn the phone on or whatever you want to say pressed the power key, etc it would not turn on or you could say your screen came on for a second and then went out and the phone powered down and would not come back on.
Or
if you have insurance just say it was stolen, lost, dropped in a lake, etc.

Strange--i'm not sure if a bricked radio would cause that, but it could perhaps indicate another issue. Does the radio's firmware also control the phones power/charging system?

yes and yes it could. the radio contains the big bad bootloaders. if it stopped mid update, its gone. you might try connecting usb to pc. and see if you get a device id.

I guess if that gets nuked the only way to recover it would be a manual hot-air removal and a manual reflash of the chip itself (good luck finding the papers for it), and then reflowing the chip back to the board (also assuming here it's one NAND). You'd think with the way these things work they would have a fail-over chip or something, phone falls off desk during OTA, battery goes flying. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
explain exactly what you did, and what it did. as much detail as possible.

1. i downloaded PB31IMG from the leaked 2.2 thread last night. (old pb31img). installed and got it running. he said install official OTA but none pushed to me.
so i downloaded the new PB31IMG and installed over. BUT after installed, the phone reboot and running great.
2. next, i download the leaked OTA and rename it to update *zip file*
3. i boot into recovery and start the update. after that it said something like, hit power button/reboot to continue the process. so i did. after that a green circle with arrow point counter-clockwise showed up and after a moment it turned off and on *same green icon* and off again. after that nothing happens.
hi , my SGS shuts down in my pocket with no reason.
i change the battery but nothing changes.
thing i've made : wipe all,instal new rom via ODIN and CWM,put out the microsd..but nothing.
my phone its now clean with no apps installed and restarts frequently
firmware:2.3.6
i9000 XXJVT
kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9000xwjvz-cl762604 [email protected] #DarkCore_4.2.1_jvz
build: v10.4.2 xwjw1
if somebody can give some ideeas...i've change 4 custom ROMs since now.
i use Darkys ROM 10.4.2 since first day and i dont have this problems
are you sure that it is switched off?? maybe it's a SOD

i dont know what is SOD. if you mean the phone wgone in standby...no.
i just see my phone restarts
might seem like a stupid idea, but i had this problem solved by changing my jeans. If you have tight jeans you push and hold your button you dont even know when , since then i haven't had any restarts ;D
im not sure its a jeans problem...because 10 min ago my phone was on my desk...and restarts...and any time restars, my battery drain about 20%.i made another time wipe and reinstal the ROM...my phone its clean.
Have you tried any other firmware version?

Please tell me if I've understood this correctly:
1) when your phone is on external power, it works fine..
2) When on battery it switches off..
3) your phone switches off, does not restart

so,
1)when is on external power my phone doesnt give me no problem(im sure of that because i have SIM Pin unlock and every time i have to use it) all the night my phone was on charge and no restarts.
2)when is on battery,in my pocket or on my desk,restarts.
now i made another flash via ODIN with NO additional app(Darky Rom 10.2 Extreme Ed) to see its a ROM/APP or hardware
i wanna try with CyanogenMod 7 but i didnt find a link to download

Maybe try a stock firmware coz everything is supposed to work as Samsung intended it to on stock.. If it still happens, it's a hardware issue..
I still feel it sounds like a hardware issue.. On battery, how long does it last between reboots? Is the battery loose? Have you tried another battery perhaps?
I have 2 batteries but my phone restarts.i think is a hardware problem because on clean rom the problem persist.
Sometimes restart 2-3 times in 15 minutes...sometimes for 2-3 hours doesnt happens anything...

Maybe its not that loose maybe its loose enough to cause a drop in voltage and amp ect so the phone reboots as some kind of protective measure.

my phone will auto close after i open it for around 20+sec,around like that.
when i open it in download mode or by clicking it with volume up + power key + home button,the phone will not auto shut down.
At first i tot it was software problem so i self re-install the firmware and factory reset,but at the end still then same.
can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? it was hard or soft ware problem?:crying:
video can be provided it needed.

A video could help but my first guess would be an dead battery.

Seems like either a boot loop, or damaged battery. I would:
Try to flash the stock rom again and if not fixed, try to change battery.
Does the phone charge when off?

Just like another user on the forum, I have a dead screen and solid blue LED always on. Is there a way to use ODIN or some other software to access the phone data via computer to backup data and also wipe? Phone is bone stock.
Thanks!!
You can try to use sidesync on the PC to connect to the phone and display it's screen on the pc to control it that way...
That would be awesome but wouldn't I need access to the phone to install sidestep and run it before I could control the phone from my pc?

Hello android geniuses! My cousin has this exact same problem right now, I came here as a last resort looking for a solution.
He broke his screen and lcd while drunk and he has insurance, but is worried about sending the phone in to be fixed/replaced because he has incriminating texts about buying drugs etc on the phone.
Is there a way to factory reset the phone with the screen broken?
My sonly uggestion atm is to reboot into recovery and try to factory reset based upon copying the button presses of a youtube video. He does not have usb debugging enabled and we can't even manage to explore his files through windows.
Thank you if you even read this, I am super grateful for any suggestions
Edit: We factory reset the phone through android device manager. OP, that might be your best bet too mate.

Hi guys, just got my mix around a week ago. Flawless at first, no real complain, then this morning i noticed my smartband hasnt given me any notification and it turns out the phone bluetooth connection is dead.
Dead as in you can click it to tell it to turn itself on, but nothing happens. It doesnt recognise any bluetooth nearby either. Tried the test in the about section of the phone and it doesnt give me anything on the bluetooth status, just blank.
Tried restarting the phone, same thing. Factory reset, same thing. Im on 8.0 global rom straight from when i bought it. Any idea if this is hardware or software?
Thanks
I flashed EpicROM from last week and now I can't connect to my Bluetooth speaker. I can still see Bluetooth devices but it's not pairing. Worked on EpicROM from february

That is vendor ROM.
Well at the very least you still able to toggle the bluetooth on and off, while mine just doesnt even budge. Really disappointing though...

Good point Jazz....when I dirty flashed to the 8.2 global rom I was having all kinds of forced closes literally almost every few seconds it seemed. It clearly stated in the guide if you go from developer rom to global you should do a complete wipe but I seemed to miss that part. I then re formatted and started from scratch and it worked like a charm after that...zero FCS. Give it another try if you didn't wipe it last time, could make the difference.
I'm from official rom 8.2.3.0 stable and without bluetooth since 3 days ... I wait for an official update or it's hardware problem ? What can i do ? I'm so sad and disappointed with this !
Nobody can help me ? It's software or hardware problem ?

Try to do a clean flash with another rom, like global or last beta. Probaly, is a software problem.

Did you buy it new, which ROM, could it be vendor rom, do as suggested, back up you're data, install custom rom it's the only way to find out if it's hardware, no one else is reporting these sorts of problems even after 2 years of abuse.
