So I've been on this forum 24/7 for the passed 4 days since my phone bricked. Never tried putting any roms or anything on the phone, all stock. It just crashed on me. This is exactly whats happening:
I put the battery in, and as soon i do that, the samsung logo appears, then goes blank, only to reappear, and so on. I don't even have to press the power button it just automatically turns on. So eventually while searching the forums i followed laymans tutorial on how to make a jig, so i did. I thought i had it! But as soon as i saw download mode come up, it just went right back to a blank screen within 3 seconds, only to see that damn samsung logo. So I'm just curious, am I royally screwed?
Would love some input on this as i cannot find anything >.<

I have a Samsung Captivate and I've been having some issues that have gave me some trouble, Yeah I know it says to look up previous cases of the device but I have yet to find Anyone with the same problem and I've been at this for a week now trying to fix this phone.
When I press the power button the AT&T Logo comes on but only stays there for about 8 seconds then turns off it'll stay on if I hold the power button.
First I tried the Odin3 program, I followed all instructions for it. My phone can go into DL mode and my computer can recognize it as a device, I booted up the program and so far I've had no problems during the process the Odin detected my phone and finished the process but when it finishes my phone will boot to the AT&T logo for a couple of seconds then it'll go to the battery stand by screen and ... that's it.
I tried looking on google for anyone who is experiencing the same problem and so far close but not the same and I ran out of ideas...
Can someone please help me out because I really want this phone to work and Yes I am a noob -.-
so a customer brought me an samsung S7 (SM-G930F) and he had factory resetted it thru recovery and then got it to FRP Lock and couldnt get it open. well we were supposed to go thu the thing via sms message. before we did that, i wanted to factory reset it to begin with. well, i turned it off (it was on set language page) and it turned off, normally showed the logo and vibrated at the end. then i was gonna boot into recovery. pressed the combination and nothing. tried to boot normally and again, nothing. tried like everything. every combination, on ac, on pc, multiple times. no led or any kind of response. then i put it in the ac for overnight (8h+) and nothing... its like completedly bricked. friend in samsung store did something, he put a cable on it and told me hes blocking the battery and display etc, took the cable away and still nothing... he couldnt figure it out... i tried smart switch but i cant go to download so doesnt work. is there anything to do ? do we really need to take it to RMA ? No root or any kind of modifications. it was bought in around relase.
small crack on the left bottom on the recents button (button works tho)
i heard he go thru recent software update but it worked after until now.
i did what i do normally, usually all devices boot in to logo or more but this... just brick. nothing.
ok well we got the receipt and went to samsung store, they said it would go in warranty repair, but because of the small crack in there, they want to replace the screen before they can take it... so i need to pay 200 for new screen so that they can take battery out and put it back in... yippee... i would do that easily exept it would lose warranty...
If your warranty is void until you replace the screen anyway, just remove the back and reconnect the battery yourself

My MI4c is stuck in the Enter Download Mode and now its Blacked out (wont turn on, tried pushing buttons and its combinations but nothing seems to work)
So, the chronology before this catastrophe happened is as follows :
>I was interested to try the new MIUI, and followed the following tutorial : miuitutorial.com/2016/09/sudah-jamannya-miui-8-xiaomi-mi4c-kamu.html
>As the story goes, i finally ended up in the Enter Download Mode (the tutorial stated that under the mode, the Screen will go Blank, and it did, up to the moment i posted this)
>The next step in the tutorial is to open MiFlash and push the Refresh button, but when i did the program responded with 'Specified Cast is not Valid'
>I tried the following solution i found in here : miuitutorial.com/2016/08/bermasalah-dengan-driver-signature-mi.html
>I did it through again up to the restart laptop phase
>The Screen was still Blank (no signs of life whatsoever, the charging lights wont even beep upon charging)
>I was beginning to suspect something was wrong, and as i checked MiPCsuite, the Tray Icon showed that no device was connected (the phone was officially dead)
>Thus i panic and tried almost everything, pressed buttons and combinations, plugging chargers on and off, etc. but nothing seems to work
There goes my story, for the record, the phone i have is still new and everything.
I havent tried googling deep for this matter, but as i am panicking i think my judgement and analyzing skills are currently on the low, so if anybody have anything that might help or links or anything please Hook me Up, I'm all Ears.
Thanks a lot beforehand and Big Ups to the XDA community.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 i605 that's unlocked, using Straight Talk service, rooted, and was running stock Android version 4.1.1. On Thanksgiving Day, I was going to have dinner with friends. From my computer I found the location on Google maps, then sent the map to my phone. That's something I'd done many times, but this time when I clicked the link, it flashed the conformation asking if I was sure I wanted to load the map. When I clicked yes, the screen dimmed then immediately brightened and dimmed again. It continued this flashing at about 1/2 second intervals. During this time no buttons or combination of buttons had any affect on it. After about 40 or so seconds of this, I took the back off and removed the battery. I waited about a minute before reinserting the battery and replaced the back. I pushed the power button and fully expected it to boot normally. Boy was I in for some disappointment. It not only didn't boot, it didn't do anything. And hasn't since. No boot, no download mode, no recovery mode, and not recognized by the computer when connected by USB. It is dead. Does anyone know what happened, or more importantly, can it be revived?
Hey everyone who reads this.
I'd like to start my topic with apologising if I post this in the wrong section.
So, I have a LG Spirit H440N LTE for about 3 years now, maybe a little less. I've always taken good care of it, both physically and in updates / security wise aswell.
My phone has been working flawlessly until the last 2 days. 2 days ago i was charging my phone, and when it vibrated (meaning its 100%) I pulled the cable off, and pressed the power button (power button locks - unlocks the screen) the screen didn't turn on. I was like "wow that's strange" but didn't care much, i just kept pressing the button every 5-6 seconds, nothing.
At that point I pulled the battery out, let it sit for a short time and then put it back, start the phone, I felt the vibration (meaning it's starting up) but no screen, so my first idea was that I need to get a new firmware and completely reinstall my phone, as it seems like it got bricked.. for no reason, by itself ? Strange thing but I accepted it and literally been googling for 9 hours now and I find more and more issues.
After I got LG FlashTool, drivers, and even 3 different firmwares, I wanted to start the phone in download mode to start upgrading, but even though I held down "volume up for 5 seconds and then put the usb cable in" nothing happened, no screen, my PC didn't recognise the phone either.
So I got a little bit mad and pulled the cable out from the phone, I wanted to remove the battery, but out of nowhere the phone suddenly started loading in, screen working completely fine, i could do whatever i want, so my first thing was to do a hard reset. After the hard reset I set up my usual stuff (important apps etc) and I locked the screen so my battery won't go down. Little did I know, I ****ed up again, because ever since that happened, I can't get my screen to work again. I tried everything I could but my PC still doesn't recognise the phone (even after a LOT of drivers being installed), charging the phone doesn't do anything. Regardless if I remove - put back the battery no screen, no screen in download - hard reset mode either, it's just completely black.
I'd like to have some sort of help, because I am just completely out of ideas, I really feel like a firmware change could fix the phone, but if the computer doesn't recognise it, I have no idea what to do.

You might be having hardware issues, such as a faulty power button. If you are the type of user that frequently presses the power button to lock/unlock the screen, this leads to excessive wear on the button components, this is why some users prefer to use the "tap to sleep" and "tap to wake" feature, to avoid wearing the power button out. On my LG, this feature is called "KnockOn", it's located in Accessibility settings.
