If you don't know what it is you don't have one, and more than likely won't know how to use one... have you tried keeping the battery out for a bit (2-3 minutes), I had a minor issue that when I tried booting NVFlash and install recovery, after pulling the battery and replacing it within a second my phone wouldn't boot

Not to worry -- this happens occasionally. Just try turning it on normally (don't hold vol up + down, just hit power) with the phone plugged-in without the battery, plugged-in with the battery, unplugged with the battery...lather, wash, repeat.
It will work eventually. Not sure what causes the issue, but I've had two of these phones so far and both had this issue.

ok

[q] help! My phone wont do anything!

hey guys,
my phone litteraly wont do anything. i f*ed up some fonts using type fresh, then tried to restore using the odin3 downloader. i accidentally closed it, and now my phone wont boot up/react to any buttons pressed. any help? thanks guys!
had the same problem. i cant figure out how to even get odin working, it says one click but when i hook up it to odin it gives me a message that still doesnt tell me ****. i had to send my phone back for a new one and told them i used easyroot on the market bc i didnt know what it was and it sounded cool but now i know not to ever do that again that it messd up my phone. Praying to god that they dont charge my for anything
You should still be able to enter bootloader mode by turning phone off and holding down up/down vol and pwr simultaneously until boot screen flashes then release power button only
it wont even do that
open odin (use the stock one click version)
with the phone off (remove/reinsert the battery if need be) and not plugged in; hold vol. down and insert the usb cable (keep holding vol. down untill you see the download screen). this should put you into download mode and if you have the right drivers odin should recognize the phone.
I've stuffed my captivate on a few occasions and so far I have been able to use this method to get into download mode and fix it.
it wont do anything at all. it wont power on, show up in adb, anything... and stupid att wont do ANYTHING -_- oh well. any help would be appreciated!
Have any of you offering support to the OP actually had your phone in the described state? I've read a few posts where the phone is seemingly completely dead as the OP describes and no one says they've successfully recovered from that state. All I ever see is the same old button combinations/battery/usb shenanigans and statements of that should work and that the phone is unbrickable. I have personally seen a device that was behaving in such a manner and no combination of battery pulling, usb plugging, button holding, or tongue twisting would generate anything from the phone. The only thing the phone would do was get hot.
same here. Phone showed bright green screen...wasnt done with teh flash and said it was finished...now the nly thing I can get is power and hold the vlume up for some IRQ and hex stuff. I posted a questionthis morning but...serious. Vol up and down and any things else gives nothign but a black screen..battery out...back in anything..its torched.

Did you read the rest of the posts? The OP already stated several times that the phone does nothing. I realize that most people will say it does nothing or is "bricked" if it simply shows the "connect to computer" screen, but the OP has stated more than once that the phone shows nothing. Yes, everyone is trying to help, but simply repeating what has been said numerous times before doesn't help.
Has anyone actually recovered a phone that displays NOTHING? No logos, no recovery, no nothing.
Last night, i turned off the light in my room when i noticed a glowing from my desk. i walked over, and it turns out my captivate's screen was in fact on, it was just a faint black glow, and none of the power buttons would do anything. when i took the battery out, it shut off completely!
As I pointed out here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757293
Im pretty sure it was my fault for not completely following instructions on the ext4 one click install root, settings.db etc so everyone needs to make sure if the dev says flash before..do it.
State of the phone was, it would not completely power on..therefor no usb drivers would load and Odin cannot see the phone and it can no longer flash..the only thing I could get it to do was show a screen with that text. I put in my post. I ordered it via letstalk.com so I sent it back and assuming they get the same result Ill have a new one hopefully by the end of the week. Im just glad I stil had my old iphone3 to slap my sim card in.
The odin one click flash thing..it just flaked right at the start it looked like..but I cant be sure because as soon as I saw a blue progress bar I stepped into the kitchen for abtou 30 sec..I came back and the screen was florescent green and Odin said it was done. I knew something was wrong as it was way too fast so I unplugged, removed the battery and set it back in...from there on out it would do nothing with the power button unless on a semi rare occasion if I hit the volume up button and power I got the IRQ stuff.
Annoying as I had a nandroid backup just before I started messing with it.
i just sent mine into samsung... back to mah ol trusty blackjack. gonna have to get used to supermario bros 3 instead of spyro....
ANYWAYS theyre sending me a new one!

Hey thanks, but i already sent it to em... thank you everyone for your help!
Just a note... i said before hold vol down and plug in usb. I had it in a pretty bad state tonight. Played around. Same idea as before, but had to hold vol up and vol down. If i brick a few more times, i'll give a better guide. But this phone can DEFINITELY come back from a state where you can't even get it to power on. Figured any additional info on this would be good.

Phone wont power on

I've had this phone for about 5 days now. When I got it the power button was pretty tough to push and it was hard to power on and power off the phone. Today I rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Phone rebooted fine. I powered it down to get into hboot and cannot get the phone to respond now. Will not power up, no charging light when I plug it in, nothing. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

I had the same thing happen to me after flashing a S=off partition to my phone... Have you tried holding down the volume down buttom and power button to hard reset it? hold it up to 20 seconds. If you get no response and when you plug it into your comp and it tells you its installing some weird file then you are HARD BRICKED like i was, only thing i know of you can do at the moment is return it... they cant acces it so just tell them you went to bed after putting it on the charger and when you woke up it was completely dead, it wont respond to anything... worked for me, hope the best for ya...

Well I got it to power on now after leaving the phone sit for a while. The power button is still a pain in the butt to use though.
I was getting no response and my computer was telling me it was installing some weird file. But now it seems to be working like it should. Other than the bad power button.
In the Captivate forums (where I've been the past two years) I've seen people talk about the power button becoming more or less responsive with different ROMs. It seems impossible to me that this could be real, but enough experienced people talked about it that I wonder if there may be some explanation, like the power button isn't just an on/off device but maybe registers distance and/or pressure.
Or maybe everyone who talked about it was imagining it.

help just bricked new phone

Sorry dude if it doesn't connect via usb you've pretty much got a paper weight.

Look up jtag. It's your only option at this point. Unless the phone was purchased under a year ago. So yeah, paperweight for now.
thanks for the help i figured the skyrocket would say sky rocket on it lol so i just jumped into the s2 i777 forum like a noob i feel so dumb but will the jtag thing for sure fix it
Almost nothings for sure but it's a pretty good chance they revive it. mobiletechvideos is who a lot of people have used.
ok what about the usb jig thing has anyone tried that an how much does the jtag fix usaully cost

Spend the extra 20 bucks. lol It might matter or it might not. You don't wanna be the one that finds out it mattered though. lol
I would trust mobile techvideos over anyone on ebay. They have a stellar rep.

Hey there, Today my phone got stuck in a bootloop where the screen was black and there was an intermittent vibration. I couldn't get out of this bootloop at all. I tried getting into recovery mode, download mode, using Odin, holding down power for more than 20 seconds, removing the battery for 10 minutes, etc. Anyway, I figured, there has to be a solution without having to take apart my phone and trying to use JTAG, Geez! ANyway, I decided to try pressing the power and volume buttons in different combinations with and without the battery, and while being connected or disconnected to the PC. OK to make a long story short, here is the combination.
Plug USB into computer ( I used win7) without connecting it to your skyrocket.
Remove the battery from your phone.
Insert the Data cable into your phone without the battery.
Install battery and quickly press both the volume up/down button and the power button repeatedly (about 5-10 times) Basically press and release both sides at the same time over and over again until your skyrocket pops out of a bootloop. It took me only 5 presses.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but it worked for me. Due to the fact that this happened on a whim, I can't test it out to make sure the steps are just right. Whoever tries this, take note of the steps.
I hope this helps you guys out. Cheers.

what you have sir is a stuck power button, by repeadetly pressing the power button you momentarily "unstuck" the button, it can stay unstuck like that or it can become "sticky" once again, more info on that in the 1stop sticky

uhhhh, another person who is slightly misinformed. a boot loop doesn't equal JTAG. if your phone turns on AT ALL u should be able to recover it and get it working. JTAG is required for a brick, and like its name implies, a brick is just that. A phone that does absolutely nothing but sit there. No display, no sound, no vibrate, nuthin

Need Help With My One XL Wont Boot!

Today, my family was going to celebrate Canada Day. I was running Root-Box *with Halo!* and everything was well. I charged up my phone to 80%. Cleared the necessary caches, resets, and then proceeded to restore to my now 20 day old ViperXL Backup. I restored and booted , everything was working well, but the phone was hot as it always is when i restore a ROM. So i went to go get ready, when i came back i turned the phone on from standby and it didn't respond. I unplugged it and did all button combinations ( volume up and down and power, volume down and power,just power). I did lots of research and I all I could find was that leave it to cool down then charge. So I left it and came back after 3 hours and it was still the same. Another finding from my research was to charge it. Now, when i do it flashes the red led. and thats all. Its supposed to go to solid red after a while but its been 3 hours and still blinking red. I tried to adb things (adb reboot, addb flash recovery <file link here>). But nothing. So now Im here hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks for reading.
Also, when i plug it into the computer, it detects installs a driver thens stops. It keeps on making connect and disconnect sounds on the computer. Not detected by adb or htc sync manager. I tried all the power cables, stock HTC, apple power block, samsung and even blackberry!

thanks for the reply it connect but disconnects. If you go to device manager it keeps refreshing as it connects and disconnects and then reconnects. When you do however go to human interface devices you see HID interface, and USB input devices. Thanks for replying. I cant get into the bootloader either. Charged it all night and its still the same thing.

Stay away from vol up + power. It will put the phone in QHSUSB_LOAD, which nothing good will come from.
You should not be trying "all combinations" just the right one for bootloader. Make sure you are holding vol down, the press power for 5 seconds or so (do the capacitive buttons flash at all if you do that?) release the power button, but do not release the vol down button until the hboot screen comes up. Or of course, you are convinced the phone is still not responsive.
Try this with the charger plugged in and unplugged.
Make sure you charge for several hours on the wall charger, not connected to your computer.

There have been some cases of the phone becoming suddenly unresponsive like this, apparently due to hardware failure. These reports seem to be getting a bit more common as the phone is getting a bit "older" (over a year).
However, since the OP was just futzing with it (restored a nandroid), I tend to believe its not a hardware failure. And that he can still possibly recover.
But that is just a gut feeling (and maybe being too optimistic).

TWRP seemingly bricked my pixel

So I was trying to make a backup with the latest twrp and I got this error code: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255.
I figured, to hell with it I'll reboot. Twrp asked if I wanted to install the twrp app, I said no. Screen goes back, never to turn on again. No button combo holding for any length of time helps. Bummer, right? I was running DU at the time.
Now I'm worried about the RMA, I hope they don't deny me after they get it back into the warehouse.

Does anything happen when you plug the phone into the wall or into the PC?
Have you tried just holding down power for a while?
are you on beta hardware. i noticed today my phone was unresponsive installing twrp it would go black and disconnect from pc. what i had to do to get it to turn back on since it stayed lik that even holding the power button for a while was just hold the volume key and power for a couple min down and power if that dont work try volume up and power just random pushes to get the phone it will go to some debugging screen then just holding buttons till it restarts

I also had the same situation go on as well. I'm not sure what's is happening but when I boot TWRP the thing just becomes unresponsive and a black screen. I had to hold the buttons for nearly 30 seconds before it worked. Pixel isn't a friendly device to mod. :-/

That's bizarre! I'll try when I get home. I wonder what's causing this. Did it ever happen again to you? And were you using twrp when it happened?

Yes I was using twrp, I was flashing test build. But it put me into a loop. U got a black screen, and if your computer won't even recognize it , you may be out of luck. I have been using rc2 I know it's not great for restoring backups, but it works good for everything else
That is so strange. I have never come across this issue before. Unfortunately, if you can't seem to get your PC to recognize the device, I don't think there's anything you can do. I guess we will have to be wary about using TWRP. I haven't had any weird issues myself with TWRP but I know others have. Here's hoping google will honor your warranty. I think they will, I don't think see them spending the time to look into what caused your phone to die so I think you'll be able to get a replacement without much hassle.
If you wouldn't mind, please keep us updated.

So far so good, sent then phone in and sold the replacement. I'm getting the OnePlus 3t instead.
