Hello, i belive this is my first post but i been reading up on these forums and find them very helpfull. i did a search on here and google with my issue and found no help. last night i was looking through my contacts and my phone just froze. i waited a min or two and still froze. so i pulled the battery out to shut it off. now the phone is dead...it wont turn on, it wont charge when i plug it in the charger, i also tried pressing the volume and power buttons to do a factory reset with no luck.
if anyone can help, i would really appreciate it.
thank you
BTW: i belive tmobile return time is 14 days...so i cant return it to them since its like day 34...just my luck lol
You should be able to swap it out no matter what, your warranty is still in place. Just bring it to the store and they should either give you another one the same day or order you one man.

Did you press the volume down and the power button(not both volume buttons) until you see the screen with the box and android? Also try pulling battery and leaving it out for at least a minute or two. Have you rooted the phone?Where you on a custom rom? With more information furnished I am sure the talented people on this forum can be of more help.

I would try putting the vol down and power together again (you can press the vol button and then press the power and hold both for at least a minute) to see if you get any response. If not, contact TMo on the phone and you will have a replacement unit in a few days.
Question - when you plug it into the charger, do you see a battery charging screen come up? One unknown is the battery.
You might go to a TMo store and see if they will let you plug the battery from their demo in yours and see if it will respond to the above. If it does, it is your battery (you should also be able to get that under warranty).
If not - it is your phone - then do the above.
If your PC is not recognizing the device when you plug in then you are pretty much screwed... sorry man...
he sd he just tryed doing a factory reset which is vol up n power thats y i asked if he put recovery on there using nvflash cuz if not vol down n power wont work idk man could be a battery dwf weird n do what jhaste sd if it recognizes it ur good if not idk
thanks for your help everyone.
to answer some questions
1. i did not do nv flash
2.when i plug it in the charger i dont get a charging indicator or screen.
my girlfriend has the same phone as me...so when i get home today i will swap the battery to see if its the issue. i did call tmobile and they said if the battery swap dosnt do anything that i can get a replacement under warranty. good new i guess
im just worried i will get one with bugs lol ( like random shut downs, screen bleed, and gps issues) cause mine has been flawless...untill this lol

well seeing as you did not use nvflash, when you get home try flashing clockworkmond recovery using the nvflash method... Ive got a feeling that when you pull the battery, hold your volume buttons down and plug in the usb cord that it will perk up

is this guide what i need?
androidtotal.com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-lg-g2x-t-mobile-nvflasher
looks like a complete guide. also will make my phone stock again or will it have something else? i guess i should google what clockworkmod is
yea dude im with jhaste on this one i mean that is weird shouldnt have dun that on stock rom thats y 50% of me says its battery but dude if u do hook it up to the computer n u get life ur good then u need to do the nvflash method install recovery n flash a rom theres even an image for the stock rom if u like that one that much. its all in development part of forum. so worst case scenario bro u could do that i think ull be aight n if u do end up takin it back under warranty n u get a ****ty one man that sounds so bad u should always get a good one, but neways if u get one that has bad screen bleed or something quirky call tmobile again u have a yr warranty just dont drop it scratch it or dunk it in water lol n ur warranty should be good n dude dont worry bout screen bleed i have it a lil n i can give two ****s it dont bother me its common with newer lcds i mean if u have it bad n can notice it when doing daily things with ur phone then by all means take it back if that aint the case then dont worry bout it cuz 99% of the time ull get the same result if u take it back
its under development and u wana use the ext4 version its the newest tgagunman has a nice easy guide i myself dont know how to put links up so if someone could

I've been looking at numerous threads on numerous sites for a few hours now and can't find a solution to my problem with the methods already given (most of them say the problem is solved by flashing the new CWM but as I can't even turn the phone on...)
My battery was around 10% when I turned it off to reboot it today but it never came back on from the reboot cycle. I've tried all the methods people have given :
pull the battery and put back in, pull the battery then back in then charge for 20 minutes then pull battery and put back in....etc. The only solution I can think of is stripping a cable and charging the battery manually. I really don't want to do this and damage my battery.
I'm running v1.0 of LeeDroid's ROM with the stock kernel.
Can anyone give me another option? Help me Obi xda Kenobi.
Edit : I should add that I do have the latest CWM as far as I know. Yes the text was orange.
It seems like the easiest way to fix it is this.... and the credit goes to Rsotbiemrptson.
1. If you have another phone like a myTouch 4G, Nexus or similar, take the battery and line it up to the Sensation's contacts (battery doesn't fit so you have to hold it)
2. Hold Volume Down and power on to boot into HBOOT then go to RECOVERY.
3. Go to Mounts and Storage and mount USB storage.
4. Transfer stock TMOUS recovery to sdcard, unmount, and go back to HBOOT so it may detect the PG58IMG.zip file and flash it.
5. Put original Sensation battery in and it will start charging. Just reflash CWM later on.
I have attached the file. This worked great for me and only took less than ten minutes.
I wonder what the hell is causing this? I can just see myself at work, not knowing my pos htc battery is being molested by whatever it is that mysteriously drains it in standby from time to time, and find it is dead and the phone won't boot up.
Sheesh!
Matt
I had exactly the same problem with mine - ended up being replaced under warranty. Bizarre problem.
I just tried this with my girlfriends G2X. The battery isn't able to touch the contacts. Don't have another phone around : /

Try to turn the phone on without the battery, just have the microUSB cable plugged in. I can't test it because I have Body Glove Armor on it and is really hard to take off, but give it a shot. Worked on previous androids. Example(s): Huawei Ascend, Samsung Moment, LG Optimus M.

So it seems you guys are having a microUSB failure, as it sounds. I will tell you why I say this. Because if the phone charges for a few seconds, and just stops, then that is contact failure. Try using different a microUSB cable. Also tell me what Clockwork you have and if you powered off in fast-boot or not.
I've tried 3 or 4 micro USB cables by now. As far as I know I flashed the newest CWM a day or two ago via the app from the market. And no fast-boot IS off.

What??? You flashed via Market. Did you even S-OFF??? The last thing you should do is flash from ROM Manager or whatever you used. Read this post and it will tell you how to flash recovery and stuff when you get this fixed!

But ok. So you have anyway of charging the phone?
Ohh. And I'm not screaming or flaming you.
Not really. I'll just go into the T-Mobile store tomorrow and tell them my battery is ****ed and demand a new one lolz.
And of course I used that post to obtain S-off. Wouldn't have been able to do it without it =P. I originally flashed CWM manually before it had official support but once the dev added the Sensation added I flashed his official one via the ROM Manager app. I even booted into it to install LeeDroid's ROM so it obviously works.

Hi y'all,
My 3 days old sensation doesn't power up. It's S-Off, rooted and I've been testing different roms on it until I got to the revolution HD. I followed all the steps, Super swiped, flashed it, but the first time I rebooted it didn't power back on; I tried "power+Volume down" and no results.... I've tried removing the battery for an hour or so and trying and it still didn't work.. Kind of pissed cuz I paid the full non subsidized price for it ($530).
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Wow I'm sorry to hear that did you try plugging it into the charger and wait about 20 minutes and see if you can boot it into clockwork mod

Hey so sorry to hear what happened... I can imagine the pain going through..
Can you give some more details?
1. Does it vibrate when you press potter button?
2. Does it show any charging light when you plug in power?
3. try charging for one hour or replace battery with another sensation set as sometimes battery can be culprit
I always try to prevent running that super wipe script since that pays with your partitions...

had your battery ran down all the way?
that happened to me and i had to do a battery swap and forwhatever reason it worked after that. i can still use my other battery no problems.
just something from my experience. might want to think about getting a secondary battery,just in case. 10 dollars.
(does the charging light blink orange 4 times, then nothing?

Hi All,
1- No, it doesn't do anything. no vibration, no light. It like the battery's been completely drained.
2- Also nothing happens when I try charging it (I only tried charging thru the PC though)
3- I ordered a new battery, so hopefully that would fix it. Whats weird is that when I started the installation process the battery was more than half full.
First of a you need to try and charge from mains, does your pc make any noise or do anything at all when you pop it in?
Sent from my CM7 Sensation XE using xda premium
Sorry to tell you but...Its bricked. Mine just did this last night.
It was charging...Once done, I took it off the charger and set it down. I came back to it later to use it and it was completely dead. No response.
I connected it via usb to my laptop to try the ADB reboot and was told by my computer the DREADED "cannot install drivers". That was the last action that happened.
Tmobile is sending me a new one. Have to go till monday with an old flip phone.
Call Tmobile. They called it hardware failure.

Holy Crap!!! I just realized what I've done. While browsing my downloads on my PC I found two superwipe zip files: One for the sensation and one for the EeePad... I might have used the Eeepad zip file!!! Damn it! Most probably that's what killed the phone... But whats weird is that even after the superwipe, the phone was on. It didn't die until i decided to reboot it.... DUMB! DUMB!DUMB!

I feel your pain. Not knowing what killed it is the worst part. I dont know if it was some ticking time bomb from a ROM, Kernel, theme, or if it was just an honest quality control issue that finally reared its ugly head.
The one clue I have is that when I got my phone on day one, long before rooting and all the magic, it did this to me...ON DAY ONE! After freaking out and doing a battery pull, it finally booted after holding down the power button for a minute. This time, however, its done for. If your PC wont recognize it, then its dead. Simple as that.
Id either call tmobile, or call HTC to see if they will fix it. (They will likely reflash it the elite way if its software related). If its hardware failure, then they will replace it.
I hadnt done anything serious to mine. It just stopped all on its own. The tmobile tech guy said its hardware failure for who knows what reason? I know that my phone has been buggy for a long time. Should have done this back when it was working!
Lesson to be learned: Dont put up with stuff that a warranty exchange can fix. Dont wait for a total brick to occur on its own. If you suspect issues, SWAP IT!
Word to your mother yall...

First I want to say I love this forum.
I believe I have a unique problem. I searched around on forum and couldn't find my issue.
My infuse is completely unmodified, I haven't rooted or flashed any roms. My phone suddenly restarted today and now it just keeps flashing the "SAMSUNG" logo on the screen over and over every 2 seconds. I tried putting it into download mode but the problem is once I put the battery, it automatically turns on ... So theres no time for me to do the sequence. I'm not sure how else I can get it into download mode. I have all the odin software and stock roms from the other threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks for help in advance.

Alright, its been a while since I've troubleshot on stock but, here goes. If you can't get download mode,(Pull battery, reinsert, hold both VOL +/- while plugging in USB) try this first:
Make sure the device is off.
Power it up and repeatedly tap the far left soft key until the phone boots.(now i'm not 100% sure, but I think the ATT bootanimation has to show up first before tapping, but trying won't hurt)
If that doesn't work you could try a hard reset: (Warning, this WILL erase all data)
To make my life easier, I'll just link the how-to's lol:

Now these have slightly varying methods, so I linked both. Good luck!
Hopefully you have already fixed the problem by now, but one other thing to consider is the possibility that the USB port is messed up. This can happen pretty easily on these phones if you use a USB cable other than the one that came with it. It is possible for the phone to get confused and think that there is a cable plugged in even when there isn't. I have this problem with one of my Infuses and it causes the exact same symptoms you have described. I usually just plug in the original cable and wiggle it around a little, then unplug it and try it again.
In my case the problem started when I unknowingly plugged a Logitech USB cable covered in mustard into my phone. Don't ask how it got there because I sure as heck don't know. All I can say is I now keep my cables away from my three year old.
I tried all those suggestions and it didnt work, please keep in mind that once I put my battery in it AUTOMATICALLY turns my phone on. Theres no way for me to have it off with the battery in. So I cant hold the buttons down while its off and then plug it in. Or do recovery mode or anything. I am using the cable that came with the phone.
Also, all it does is the samsung logo comes on the screen for 2 secs then goes off for 2 secs and that process repeats for eternity... When I plug it in the battery charge meter starts to come up and then the screen goes black, and then that repeats the same way ...
Before you guys suggest to take it back to AT&T i already did. They said it needed to be reflashed ... So they tried, and told me that they couldn't even do it because it was messed up so bad. And they said they couldn't replace it because I have a small crack in my screen EVEN THOUGH he told me that he knows that isnt related to the problem! Are you kidding me? Great way to treat loyal customers ... AT&T are cheap bastards.

Try these steps.
1. switch off the phone.
2. remove the battery.
3. connect the phone to computer (without battery)
4. press both volume up and down buttons.
5. put the battery and wait to open in download mode.
Yeah I have the same problem, and it is my first and only att phone without an upgrade till 2013. If you figure out how to fix it please tell me.

And they said they couldn't replace it because I have a small crack in my screen EVEN THOUGH he told me that he knows that isnt related to the problem! Are you kidding me? Great way to treat loyal customers ... AT&T are cheap bastards.

My sister had the exact same problem with her phone.

If not use a USB Jig

First I want to say I love this forum.
I believe I have a unique problem. I searched around on forum and couldn't find my issue.
My infuse is completely unmodified, I haven't rooted or flashed any roms. My phone suddenly restarted today and now it just keeps flashing the "SAMSUNG" logo on the screen over and over every 2 seconds. I tried putting it into download mode but the problem is once I put the battery, it automatically turns on ... So theres no time for me to do the sequence. I'm not sure how else I can get it into download mode. I have all the odin software and stock roms from the other threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks for help in advance.

The power button should make a distinctive clicking sound when pressed. Are you getting that sound?

Yes it makes clicking sound when I press. Is JIG is the only option left ?

Just a quick review of download mode: Pull battery.
Connect USB to phone from a known working USB port on computer. (Infuse drivers installed.)
While continuing to hold down both volume up and volume down (no power button),
insert battery.
Should see download mode screen after 2-4 seconds.
If no, a jig is the least expensive option at around $2. You can also send it to a repair service, think I read that is around $50.00. Good luck.

I tried all those suggestions and it didnt work, please keep in mind that once I put my battery in it AUTOMATICALLY turns my phone on. Theres no way for me to have it off with the battery in. So I cant hold the buttons down while its off and then plug it in. Or do recovery mode or anything. I am using the cable that came with the phone.

Same issue ı am desperate
I think I bricked my one X im not sure how or why but out of the blue it just said the 10 second power off message and no longer turns on at first i was able to turn it on a few more times but now i cant.
It is not taking charge both from my computer or ac :/
when i plug it into my computer it says HID compliant device found. and the three led buttons light up every about 5-10 seconds but the top led notification doesnt turn on
If it matters
Hboot 1.14
on jokerfg jb rom
also this is a week and a half old device. if i have to replace it i will but I am more concerned with formatting it or getting it to stock before hand incase i send it in and they get it running
Uff. I have not encountered this issue. Sorry brother. Update if you find a fix.

How did it get to that state?
What are the 5 contact looking things at the back of the phone for?
Sounds like you need to give the thing some charge, i'm sure one of those street corner shops can pop it open, macgyver some volts in, and reflash something that will boot for $30ish?
I'm not really sure, my power buttton is stuck but it retracts like a button should, but it has died and refuses to power up now. I just wanna turn it on to reformat it. or is it possible htc wont be able to turn it on themselves and when they receive it just trash the device?

so the battery is dead and it wont charge? if it will charge youll have to relock the boatloader and ruu to stock if u cant get in to recovery
Leave the phone on the wall charger (not USB) for several hours (overnight) and see if you can boot. You might also try to power on, or hold the power button, or try to enter hboot while the phone is plugged to the charger (after letting it charge for several hours). As at least one guy that I thought was hard bricked got his phone to boot this way.
What appears like spontaneous power off has happened to some people. So it may be nothing that you did. Hopefully, letting it charge for a few hours will fix it up.
I have the same exact problem as the OP. I have already made a thread and have tried to express my problems but I don't think people are willing to help (although some did and I appreciate it a lot) so I am going to try to get some help here. Help a brother out?

I had this happen. I left it on charge (from powerpoint not USB to PC) over night and then connected back to PC. It didnt start but the pc was telling me USB device connected and disconnected when long pressing power button.
after running RUU and changing bootloader I finally got it to work. I would try the latest RUU from US / ATT as it has newest everything and see how that goes.

I'm one of the folks who tried to help you in the other thread. Saying that you think people are unwilling to help sounds ungrateful and a bit whiny. Remember that the community here provides help for free, and that we also have lives and can't be on here to help you all the time.
Since you've tried charging (wall charger) for several hours, and tried (unsuccessfully) to get into bootloader, there isn't much else you can do. The idea of trying to run the RUU is a good one. But if you can't connect and can't run the RUU, the phone might be done. In particular, the blinking red light is not a good sign. I think there have been some other folks that have gotten this recently, and were not able to recover from it.
But keep trying to charge, and keep trying the bootloader button combo. The fact that your condition happened right after trying to restore a nandroid, leads me to believe its something that can be recovered from, and not a random hardware failure. But that is just a gut feeling, and maybe a bit too optimistic.
when my battery dies and i plug it up to charger led blinks red until it has enough juice to be powered on. you shouldn't try to power on your phone when it is blinking red, i assume that might end up killing the battery for good if you do.
i just got at&t sgs2 skyrocket phone 4 days ago online, from someone i dont know,... for 3 days it worked, camera works, wifi works, i downloaded like 5 games already from google play.
then after 3 days, i restarted it, then it didnt turn ON, there was nothing. i didnt root or installed any kind of 3rd party software.
before my phone was screwed. i tried to update it via Kies, kies was always saying "the phone is not supported"
- i tried to remove battery and plug in back, no change, not working.
- i connected the charging cable, still, there is nothing in the screen, NOT EVEN CHARGING ICON.
- there is no vibration or light at all.
so do you guys think that the guy, from i bought the phone, installed a custom software in it?
and if you pls post a solution, that would be helpful.
i cant find usb jig in stores here, do i have to buy it online only? no other option?
3 day curse?
Haha I guess Ursula ( the witch) put a 3 day curse on you phone, that if you don't educate yourself by the dawn of the third day ... your phone will forever become a crippled rabbit. So a USB Jig is helpful and it puts your phone into the download mode, but have you already tried putting your phone into the download mode? (pull the battery, put it back in without turning the phone on yet, WHILE holding the 2 up+down volume keys plug the usb cable into the computer and keep holding those 2 buttons)
Have the proper Drivers installed, have Odin and stock ROM ready to go.
If you after you reading this you feel like WTF is this guy talking about, it means you need to go read Vincom's thread and see what other did.
Search and educate yourself knowing that if you do something to your phone by trial/error, there is always that one error that sets you so far back you wish you took the time to make sense out of things.
After you do your research ask questions like" this is my problem, this is what I based on my research think I should do, what do you guys think?"
Cheers,
Wtf? But you're on the right track.
OP, look for vincom's stickies in the development forum. Read them carefully.

Oh boy! I've had one of those. If you can't get it into download mode (volup+down and then plug in the usb), then you might try a jig from ebay for like $2 or so. That puts it in download mode as well.
Other than that it might be an emmc failure ( the memory chip/internal SD or equivalent to your computer's hard drive/ssd), which again the guys that perform a JTAG repair will be able to diagnose that and offer you some repair options.
Check your messages I'm gonna send you a link ... this guy Josh from MobileTechVideos help me get mine fixed.
Good Luck,
if your battery is charged, it is charged right, and you get no signs of life when depressing power button even w/the cable plugged in(even try keeping the power button depressed for more than 10 sec's) then its either hardbricked or hardware failure, you need to get it professionally fixed.
even with no battery installed but w/the cable plugged in you should get a vibration every few seconds
yep, no vibration at all even with cable plugged in.
now im 99% sure its hard bricked
but my question remains:
it was working fine for 3 days, i installed some games from google play, then i sleep, then i woke up, it wont turn ON, how come?
i didnt installed any custom software in it.
Yes my wife's i777 galaxy s ii did the exact same thing. Gone all of a sudden without any prior notice.
Turned out it was an emmc failure, but rule out all the other odds first.
