I guess its a hardware problem, so accordingly I think you'll have to get it repaired from a service center.
But still you can't be sure as I am kinda new to all this !

I think if the issue repeats on a number of ROMs this isn't the soft problem, should try service center.

I also think it's a hardware error.
My first Desire S also got an hardware error: It would'nt load and gave no response when plugging in an usb cable. Use your warranty and all your troubles will be gone!
... of course after flashing a stock rom i might add

Cheers people repair centre it is

So many errors...

Hello im Andy from Austria
I got this phone now since 1 month and its my first
android phone. But i have to say that this is not the phone i expected... It all started when i got the first deep sleep on FIRST day. I thought it would go away after some time but it didnt stop. Then i read this things about flashing etc. I tried flashing many firmwares, custom ROMS and kernels... Nothing helped against the deep sleep.But this is not the only Bug the phone has. Sometimes when i want to call someone i cant hear anything. I have to call like 3-4 times to get it work (very annoying). Sometimes i cant do anything (freeze) , 3g doesnt work , cant boot without putting battery out and in again and even more things. No wonder why the phone got out of stores. Currently im on NeoRom 1.0 . But i read some posts where people got their phone dead randomly, and so i want to revert to default config like i got it from shop. The problem is my binary counter is currently on 4... Is there any method to get it to zero without paying? And another problem is maybe because i have removed simlock from it so i think warranty is gone anyway...
Maybe i try to completly reset the phone and then sell it to someome to get some other phone...
We also dont have any CM and i wonder about this because many unknown phones do have CM... Like Galaxy Y or etc...
It would be better to get some GS2 or GS3.
At least there are no deep sleep issues.
Greetings from Austria,

First of all:
Deep sleep is not an issue! It's a good thing, it's the state when your CPU rests and save your battery. The problem you mentioned is called "sleep of death" (when device becomes unresponsive after screen off)
You can reset your counter with USB-jig (if you have Odin protocol v. 2, if you have 2.1 it's a way more complicated))

It sounds stupid.....but did you change the WiFi sleep policy to never ?

My SGR touch was also not responsive, installed stock rom and took it to service. Now working fine.

So there are galaxy rs that work fine?!
Some said it needs new motherboard. How can i check if i really got a screwed phone?

I agree with pudup . You should visit your service, and explain to them your problem, but even this does not guarantee that you'll get a replacement of motherboard. Maybe you can ask for refund than

i think in austria there isnt even a SSC.. :'(

Remove the battery, press and hold the power button for a few seconds, replace the battery, plug into A/C. Anything? If no, try another charger.

What did you flash?

Your warranty isn't void. This looks like a hard brick and if you send it in along with a message like "it just shut down on me on today" then they will replace it

The warrany says it is void if iI tried to install any unofficial software on it, but as it doesn't even light up ,the zip I installed turned out to be a swap support enabler for a certain device, i think they won't even notice it. Will I get a free replacement for the phone, the motherboard or will I have to pay for a new motherboard?

Depends on the warranty. What I meant is they won't notice, so yeah just go in and act like you have no idea why it just stopped working.

Once again, it depends on the warranty and they might make you pay a deductible. However, as long as its not water damaged, then they should grant you whatever the warranty covers.
IMO, I don't see how it could fail if it won't boot up, but if you want some confidence in doing this, I once read a post on xda a while back about how a user went in and got a replacement even though when it booted up the boot animation was a modificated HTC quietly brillliant bootanimation and said "quietly rooted android" where he proceeded to act like he had no idea what that meant when questioned about it

I don't think you should get your phone replaced for free by tricking the service centre guys. It was your fault for being careless and flashing a wrong zip.
Well, as its a hard brick, I don't think there will be any method to fix...(maybe there..but don't know )

Trust me... more than enough people do it. And they actually have to replace it... because they have no proof it was ever rooted
(Definition of hard brick is pretty much no way to fix it)

[Q] Phone is frozen, Nova Problem?

Good morning everyone...
Hope all is well..
My cousin's S3 is unrooted. Yesterday he said it froze up on him... No buttons work, however, if you take the battery out and put it back in, the phone will power back up, comes all the way on up to the home screen, but nothing works, no buttons, no reaction from touching the screen or anything.
Verizon is blaming it on Nova.
I know better, Nova is flawless in my opinion.
Anyone experienced this problem? know of any fixes?

There may be an option in recovery to get to download mode, from there he can Odin back to stock.
Buttons not working doesn't sound like a problem a rom can cause. Did it get wet, fall? Did it start to update and it was interrupted? Curious.

Stock recovery should be able to perform a factory reset. Try that and if it doesn't work read up on Odin to go back completely to stock. If that fails you are likely looking at hardware failure. My guess is the factory reset will fix it for you.

I'd try to go into stock recovery by pressing power, home and volume up buttons....wipe davlick cache

i did a factory reset and still the problem persist.. isn't it considered as a defect ??

It's clearly a software issue. Reflash might help.

Very strange, a hardware issue which temporarily disappears when you reboot. Oh well, luckily it's fixed now.
