I've tried to search but cannot find a solution. I had Hellfire ICS running on my G2X and today while trying to access the weather it froze. I pulled the battery and now it will not power back on. I can connect it to the computer and I can hear it connect but I cannot reload nvflash. It gets stuck trying to initialize bootloader. I've pulled the battery and tried everything that has been mentioned but no luck. Any help is appreciated.
G2X Will Not Power On.. answer
Just had the same problem your phone is probably toast .Find the file G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash ,download,unzip,unplug battery,plug in usb click on flash.bat . Make sure you have Nvidia usb drivers installed and make sure you use a fresh rebooted pc. Also persistance maybe necessary It may take 1 attempt or a dozen. Once it flashs the stock system and boots up if it freezes again send it back .
This procedure returns the phone to unrooted factory stock Good luck
I've called T-Mobile and they are sending me another G2X.... Still trying to get this one working. I don't like being beat.

Do you hear it connect or see it? Open device manager and verify that it shows as some nvidia device (boot something) under usb before applying nvflash.

It does connect as APX while connecting it to usb but will not turn on. I will say that after repeatedly trying to install the stock flash as jdakk1982 had suggested it finally went to the boot screen but froze half way through. Now when I connect it to usb whether i'm holding the volume buttons or not it will connect as APX but I cannot get it to power on in apx mode again.

Assuming this was done with battery out. Can you try with everything removed (battery, sim, sd card) and see if it works? If it does not I am afraid you may have a brick .
Boot loader should initialize... unfortunately this is a must step (but you probably already know that).

Yea.... I Know.... I will have my new g2x on Monday
I have the same problem
I have same problem as OP but I did overclock to 1.4 Ghz - I had just flashed the T15 kernel and was running quadrant when the phone froze. Did a battery pull and nothing. Will not boot, will not turn on. Guess its probably toast but any ideas of what I could try?
I had to get a new phone... I did notice that the battery was completely dead but it still would not turn back on. I replaced it with t-mobile.

Got it working...
Thanks for the link ratza (I bookmarked it) but I did get it up and running. It would not power on for almost 24 hrs and I could not connect it to PC. With battery out and plugged in PC did not see it.
It took a different battery to get it to boot. Even after that I could not get into Clockwork recovery either from the app or by holding down power / down buttons. I tried about a 2 dozen times. It took an older SD card that had a nandroid backup that finally worked.

Good to hear that you are up and running again
Just happened to me
This same thing just happened to me no more than two hours ago. After searching through the net I found that there was really nothing I can do because I do not own a computer. So after giving up hope because no one has posted anything recently I decided to just bull**** with the phone. I took the battery out sim and SD card. Plugged USB cord into USB wall mount charger plugged it into the phone without battery held down the power and vol- button all of a suddon LG screen flashes turns off. I quickly put battery in left it plugged in pushed same two buttons and it came to life. Hopefully thus helps anyone who's searching with no luck
Welcome. I have a problem with the HTC Sensation. Unplugged it and I can not turn on. Do not respond to anything. On the charger and computer. Removing the battery also does not help.
I s-off and ARHD 6.6.3.
RUU did not detect.
I use google translator
look up adb reboot sometimes it happens, just start it through adb
ADB does not detect it. I suspect that this motherboard.

No power on after installing aokp b32
hi,
i have a similar problem! i'm using previously VirtuouseRom since Jan 2012 without problems. Now i have tired aokp b32 rom to install. After reboot, the phone was starting perfect and boot to aokp. In the next step i make a manual restart. The phone was shut down normaly, but no power on and no restart it.
Since this i can't power on my phone. The battery is full, but i try also a another battery. No reaction with power adapter and usb.
i hope u can help me....
nice greetings

Code:
fastboot reboot
I had the same issue once. Luckily, I have a stand alone battery charger. I put the battery on the charger for 15 minutes, put it back in the phone and all was good...
I think there are separate problems here...if the phone is detected by computer when plugged in...then it's still salvageable since you can probably run adb?
However, mine was unresponsive completely....nothing worked. Sent back for repair...going to see what HTC says about the warranty!
This once happened to a friend of mine. Charge your phone for 20 minutes. If you're using a Sense ROM, disable fast boot in Settings>Power. Fastboot doesn't actually power off your device, just puts it into sleep, like in Windows. This means the battery drains, even while it's "off".
So i was running cm10 and i wanted to install a kernel. I when to install and kernel via rom manager.. When i tried to install in the screen went black and i havent been able to get the phone to turn on since,,,, i noticed when i try to put the phone into dload mode nothing happens... When i plug the phone into the wall charger the led light turns on as if it was charging but i dont have the battery in.. If i put the battery in and i push the volume down home and power nothing happens...can someone please help??? Please!!!!!!!!! I think the kernel was something like k74 something like that...
If you arent able to get into download mode, or even get a vibrate out of the phone, then sadly it may be hard bricked. I don't understand how flashing a kernel could hard brick the phone, though. At any rate, worst case scenario is you will have to send the unit in for a JTAG repair if you are unable to get it to boot in any way.

Welcome to AOKP/CM. lol Wouldn't use rom manager myself but hold on a few and Droidstyle or Annoying duck should chime in soon. I don't remember how bricked that means. Maybe able to leave battery out awhile and get it back.

i have never heard of jtag... can you give me more info just in case
JTAG is the only way to recover from a hard brick. It is a service that is performed by only one (or maybe a few) companies in the world for the S3 (and many many other devices). Heres a link to the service, which starts at $60, and a link to the video of the S3 being unbricked.

Try leaving the device plugged into the charger for a hour or so then try to get into odin mode...if still nothing then it sounds like you flashed a kernel that was for the international s3.

Did you install the 10/14 nightly? I noticed that when I installed the 10/14 nightly and then installed leankernel over that my phone would no longer boot. A simple flash back to M2 and leankernel fixed the issue. 10/14 had a lot of kernel updates so I think that's the problem.
VolUp+Home+Power to boot back into recovery I believe.
Do all of your flashing manually in the future. ROM Manager = no.

Thanks for the tip.
I just used Odin to flash clear Rom like explained here:
theandroidsoul cleanrom-custom-rom-for-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-guide/
Everything seems to be fine, but after restart nothing happened. I noted that if you plug the tablet to the usb port, it keeps looping the sound as when any usb is connected. Over and Over again.
It never starts, not even the Samsung logo. The only thing it does is, once plugged in, I can see the battery charge logo, but always empty.
Please, help!!
Thanks!
What kind of message do you get from Odin if you try to connect it and load a ROM? My tab was stuck also but I was able to get Odin load even when it looked like it was connecting.

Not sure, what problem you face exactly.
This is what i understand, you get a battery logo while your device starts and wont boot up right? If yes, try these steps, might help you.
1. battery logo you get in the boot thats because, you have connected USB Cable to computer/Charger.
2. Make sure you have charge in battery so that while doing below steps, would be a problem.
3. Once you find, it has a enough battery charge you can disconnect the cable safely (If not place it for a wallcharger, untill the battery logo fills up the juice and you find it as charged completly)
4. While booting Press the POWER+VOLUME DOWN for Download mode.
5. Now connect your tablet to PC which has ODIN and sufficient drivers installed,
6. ODIN should detect to flash the ROM.
7. Download extact Firmwares from Sammobile site / from XDA links, which is suitable.
Hopefully it should bootup with no issues.

Dear nagabushan, thanks for your help!
I think the problem is battery related, cause the icon never fills up. It's like it cant charge batteries! The juice never even apears!
I'll leave it plugged in to the wall for a few our, and see what is going on.
I'll be back in a few hours!

This is just a guess, but i think that there is no JTAG unit(that is just plugged to the tablet and DOWNLOAD MODE ) There is a method that can be extremely dangerous.
This method is to open the tab, take the motherboard, find the correct pins and flash JTAG. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS METHOD NEITHER DO I SUPPORT IT!
The second method is to take it to the warranty. Download mode is not accessible so they can't tell if it's rooted, custom rom or anything like that. They will either send you a new device and voilá. That's it. Or they try to fix it. Google samsung galaxy tab 2 jtag. It will help you if you prefer the first option.
Hello Guys !
i Have an HTC One S Tmobile Phone.
The Problem With my phone looks alot more serious than Others.
i Was Installing A Rom Into My Phone Wich Had TWRP Recovery Installed Unlocked Bootloader.
i Had installed a few Roms Such As Viper,CM10,AOKP,PACMAN, and i think thats it.
Well i Was Installing a ROm Dont Remember Wich one and installed succesfully then installed a Kernel Tweak. after that it rebooted as allways but after that it completely died. did not turn on did not turn on the Orange light When i Plugged it in my Charger. No Response For Nothing. i try to do a Hard Reset Press and Hold Power+Down Button or Up Button BUt Wont Do Nuthing. i Tried Plugging it to My PC My Computer Makes Noise When i Plugg it in But it Does it Continuosly But Nothing Happens it Does Not Recognize it Either. So i Have No Idea Whats Wrong With it. Please Help Me
Does your computer fail to install QHUSB_DLOAD drivers when you plug your phone into the computer?
If so, you, my friend, have a brick.
If not, then you probably still have a brick to be honest. But it may be retrievable. I believe that you need Linux and a basic understanding of Linux coding to unbrick.

This happened to me after flashing a ROM - I thought I bricked my phone but here is the steps I took to get it back to working.... Hopefully it works for you if it stills dead.
1.Plug in your phone (you will see the solid orange LED on) let it charge over night/or until the LED turns green.
2.HOLD power+Volume UP down until you see the screen blink - keep holding until the phone boots up! (This will hard reset your phone)
3.Boot into recovery after initial boot up/or if it bootloops - by pushing VolumeDOWN+Power.
4.wipe/cache/dalvik -
5.install ROM - fastboot BOOT.IMG if S-ON
6.enjoy phone again!
Hopefully this works for you like it did for me! the key thing is to charge your(dead)phone until you see the GREEN LED light.
Good luck!

Just do one thing, Open Device manager and Connect the phone.
If the PC detects the device and then disappears or a question mark remains showing "Unknown Device" then its Dead/Bricked.
If it still remains there try wiping and pushing boot images and recoveries. If its do not detect then you'll need Linux and try searching in commands for that.
If it shows QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager, you have probably flashed something for another device which resulted in a brick.
Find the unbricking thread in the development section.

Could draining the battery down will help?. That should wipe out all shell memory. I do not know if plugging into computer( as drive) will drain the battery. If you more adventurous, you could open the case and see if you can remove battery. Let the caps drain overnite and put it back. Just a though - it my work since android is a shell OS and reside in high memory.

When goes to Android OS, I am confuse too. It has been a long time since I use programing language, but I do remember that any program being loaded on top of another program is running in shell. Just like a batch file in DOS - a program being loaded into reserved portion of high memory.
Do not ask me any more questions - it my overheat my brain. See if draining the power will get your phone back.
