Htc magic death

Hello,
I need help for my HTC magic, I flashed it but after restart it doesnt work, nothing even I dont see any light, battery okay, it seems that f... up my phones hardware, I can see just the red light when I try to charge it after hours...

did you flashed the radio and spl? if you turn your phone off and press back + power, will it power in fastboot??

Yes, try either Volume down + power or Home + Power and see if you can get into fastboot or the recovery menus. Lets us know!

[Q] Optimus C trying to find out if this phone is bricked

I dont know if this is a brick but I cant get any button combos i have tried to work this is a friends phone I am trying to fix. THis post is a copy and pase of another I found on another forup but it pretty much sums up my issue. I cant do the KDZ thing because so far I havent gotten into recovery and I saw another sugestion on how to restore the default rom and settings but it requires having the phone booting properly.
For the last several hours, I've been trying to just get my phone to turn on past the white LG logo against a black screen. I don't know how to get the phone into any kind of recovery mode or emergency mode. I've looked at tutorials on similar phones, none of the suggestions worked. Among those suggestions were:
- Hold the down volume + home button while holding the power button
- Hold the up volume + return button while holding the power button
- Hold the up volume + home button while holding the power button
I've had to take the battery out of my phone and put it back in numerous times. I've tried removing the SD card and replacing the battery. I had my phone rooted and was attempting to install custom recovery via Android Terminal. The last thing I remember was typing "su" and then at the # typing "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". The phone rebooted to the LG and I've been trying to recover ever since.
The phone isn't even recognized by my computer when connected via USB, although when the phone is connected to the computer via USB it will turn on from off position -- ostensibly I think this means it is charging?
I've read at least 12 different fixes on 12 different forums, I've googled, searched, asked for help, and my head is about to explode. There is no example that tells me anything definitive such as:
a) If my phone is for sure bricked
b) How to tell if it is for sure bricked
c) What I can do short of returning the phone
Can anyone help me to figure out a way to at least get my phone to boot up?

[Issue] Lumia 1020 Doesnt turn on after softreset

Hi guys!
I have a problem...
I bought my lumia 1020 on dec/25... two days later i was using the GoPro app and my phone frezon.
I did a soft reset but then... it doesnt turn on any more.
I Tried all combinations seen in the internet about soft/hard reset, all buttons pressed but nothing. Plugged in pc... it doesnt even point somenthing in USB.
Today, I plugged in USB and noticed that the middle windows light was on for a period... tried again the buttons procedure but nothing...
I´m from brazil and a friend brought it to me from England so... I dont know if i sent it to Nokia will do...
Plz, does anybody knows what I can do?
Thx!

All these descriptions assumes your phone is turned off. (hold down power to power off device)
Holding down volume down when you power up the device should boot into a recovery menu, if not,
Try holding Down [Volume Down] + [Power ] until The Phone vibrates (This may take a little while, keep holding)
If it vibrates but still doesn't work, hold down until you feel it vibrate twice. (this will factory reset the phone, so you'll lose everything)
One last thing you can try is hold down volume down, power on the device and connect the charger. Keep holding volume down until you see an exclamation mark. Then press the following combination of buttons:
Volume up, volume down, power, volume down. This will also factory reset the device.
(this point may void warranty if not careful)
If you feel brave, you could look into using ADB to connect and launch the recovery menu if all else fails, but it can get a bit technical, and my advice is that you should have some experience with adv or flashing or similar. Google and read guides for it and decide for yourself, but remember, its better to wait for a repair on warranty than trying to fix it yourself at the risk of voiding warranty. (also, you usually get 3months warranty on the repair.
Hope this helps

[Q] Kolina K100+ dead - help needed

Hello,
[admin; if this post is more appropriately placed somewhere else in the forum, then please move it]
Before giving up on my cellphone and resort to ordering a new one I'll ask for help here too.
Phone is a Kolina K100+ (chinese phone) running android 4.2. It is rooted but it is still running stock ROM (to my knowledge, I bought it new and have not tinkered with the ROM).
Current situation is that the phone is completely dead.
Dead as in turned off, does not light the LED when inserting the charger cable, does not react to any button presses, or combination of button presses.
I have actually no idea what have caused this situation. Granted, the phone has accidentially been dropped twice the last week but it did not turn itself off at any of the occasions. Yesterday, I noticed that the phone had turned off and I tried to turn it on. After a while I got it to go at least to the boot screen but after having to put it away (was actually standing in a line and it was my turn...) it was dead when I was able to reach for it again and after that the phone has been completely dead.
When connecting the USB cable to the computer the computer detects an unknown USB device but cannot seem to install any drivers.
Button combinations I have tried;
- power on button
- long press (~1minute) on power button
- volume down + power button
- volume up + power button
- volume up + volume down + power button
- home button (touchscreen button that is) + power button
...no luck with either combination, no reaction at all from the phone.
I have also managed to pull off the back cover from the phone and was able to disconnect the battery connector and let it lay completely powerless for a few hours before reconnect the battery to the phone and reassemble the back cover.
Any suggestions on if there are any other measures I can do or if there is something I have overlooked in trying to resurrect it?

Powered off, no charge light or power on

Hey all, I searched around, just haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
First, I did get it to bootup after holding Power+vol up/down, and I'm trying to understand what happened.
Running stock Verizon 4.4.2
Bootloader unlocked, S-off
Rooted
The phone was at about 75% charge and I was viewing gallery. I noticed that videos were no longer playing and was trying to get one up. The phone suddenly went black as if it powered off. I pushed the power button- nothing. Held the power button - nothing. Did that a couple more times for longer.
Then hooked it to charge - no light, nothing.
After a quick search I found a suggestion to hold power+vol up/down 1-2 minutes. I did that and it booted in about 15 seconds.
My question is, what happened? why?
Is there a way to avoid it?
And if it does it again what is the best way to get it restarted?
I still plan on flashing a newer ROM, just haven't done it yet.
Thanks

Really, no thoughts on this? Phone goes blank, won't restart. Someone on XDA must at least seen it.

Happened to me once but due to my own mistake.
I wanted to boot phone into bootloader, instead of shutting and then pressing vol down + power, i forced shut the phone by pressing power + vol up, here is where i commited the mistake, instead of holding the buttons for 7 secs( after which the phone should go off) i held them a bit longer mayb 15-20 sec, after tht i tried to boot into bootloader by pressing v up + power , nothing happened, did that several times, again nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, connected to usb, again nothing.
It seemed like i had hard bricked the phone(thoughts of losing the phone came to my mind) but after trying and trying and trying again and again. It did got up(i held vol up + power for 7-10 sec, without releasing the power button, and releasing the vol up button, instantly held vol down button and it booted to bootloader).
Mayb the phone enters into some other kind of mode which only HTC is aware of.

Thanks piyushkohli97 for the reply.
Hasn't any developers run into this? Or someone with an understanding of the issue? It doesn't seem uncommon. I'm hoping to gain some insight into the issue. Anyone else?
