Vibrate 5 times & solid green light?

I'm rooted running Leedroid and a very odd occurrence happened tonight. The volume level started decreasing by itself until it hit vibrate and then the phone just became unresponsive. I pulled the battery and now no matter what I do the phone won't power back on again. if I press power or hold volume down and power, it vibrates 5 times and shows a solid green light, still doesn't turn on. Even if I hook up the USB cable same thing, only exception is that it immediately starts vibrating 5 times without pressing any buttons. I also left it on the charger for a while and swapped out batteries and nothing changes. Has anyone experienced this same issue?. I'm thinking maybe it's a hardware error and possibly bricked.
UPDATE ... I took the SD card out and let it sit for about 30 mins and then it powered up fine. This is very odd indeed. I don't know what could have been the problem.

My wife had this happen to hers after she shut down the phone and it would not boot back up properly. Trying to boot would either give five vibrates and green led or three vibrates and a red led iirc depending on if I tried a normal boot or hboot. Was on irc with attn1 trying a number of different things, as I was able to get adb to recognize the phone when booting into recovery even through the screen was blank, with no success, and finally just had at&t send a replacement.
I did try swapping another sd card but didn't try booting with no card installed so I don't know if that would have helped in my case though I am certainly curious now after reading your post. Wish I could get the phone back to test now. lol

Any solution to this? My phone is stuck like this now.

I had one go this route too. I think its a corrupt boot partition (or some other critical partition in the built-in flash ROM). I could not get it to boot to anything usable at all. I ended up filing a warranty claim and got a new one. Hopefully your's is still covered, or you have insurance, otherwise, your best bet is send it back to HTC for repair. They are actually pretty reasonable from what I hear, but you'll be without a phone for awhile.

I did a rma straight from HTC since I didn't have the insurance from at&t on it. They said it was the motherboard that died and replaced it.

it sounds like something is going on with you data partition and sd card format. i recomend booting in to clockwork mod recovery and wiping all data and cache partitions as well as dalvik and then re-installing the ROM of your choice. id also recomend backing up your SD card and reformatting that as well, and if none of that works. i think its time to try a new rom

I have this issue!!!! The EXACT same thing happened to me! I can't resolve it .. if i turn it on like normal, it flashes orange and vibrates 3 times. If i hold vol + down and turn it on, solid green and vibrates 5 times/ black screen. Help!

Try and take out the SD card for 30 min

I tried that and it did not work. I tried both the sim and sd card. I still need help. This is the only post on the internet I found that reproduced the issue -- and if this EXACT issue I have is happening to someone else, there has to be a way to fix it.
If my volume+up button worked, I could boot it to recovery. I need a way to do this without the use of the volume+up.

HTC didn't charge me anything since it was a hardware failure. Your inspire will still be under warrenty since it hasn't been a year yet. Just call htc support and they will create the rma. You will just have to pay shipping to them. It took about 10 days round trip.

an update .. i can run droid explorer with it turned off, but plugged in usb and it detects it. I tried rebooting/rebooting to recovery via droid mgr but same thing happens. But it's a good sign pc detects it .. anything I can do?
I really need this fixed. If you can find a resolution, I'll donate $50

[Q] Sidekick 4g Bootloop Please Help!!!

I am not rooted on this phone I am on stock 100% I have done nothing with this phone since purchased.. I did not try to install anything on this phone that could have caused this. But yesterday it just started on this bootloop. The screen just shows the T-mobile sidekick 4g logo then to black and over and over .... I have pulled the battery put it back in and it immediately bootloops. I don't even have to power on . It even bootloops with the charger plugged in the battery symbol bootloops. I tried to put the device into bootloader (pwr vol up/dwn) to do a factory reset. but the bootloader screen just flashes on for a second and then it goes right back into the bootloop.
It appears as if this is bricked but how is that possible on a stock device? I called t-mobile and they could not help. All they wanted to do is sell me a new phone.
Please help

@karose465 How old is the phone? If less than a year (doubtful), it should still be under warranty. Or you may be eligible for upgrade pricing: Fore example, "Customers with a Classic plan (two-year contract) are eligible for our lowest upgrade price on a new phone when at least 22 months have passed since their last phone upgrade. A new two-year contract is required to take advantage of best upgrade pricing. Of course, you can always upgrade a phone at any time, regardless of how many months have passed since your contract began."
For more info on Heimdall, just Google Heimdall Android.

Anyone with a sidekick contract ends earliest next march..

I think for him and myself, the biggest problem is being unable to get the phone to stay in download mode. For some reason, the battery won't charge and the phone itself continously turns off and on when plugged in. So the charge isn't holding, therefore nothing will stay on/open.

Im having the same problem. I have searched everywere and cannot find an answer that will fix it. If anyone can please help us fix this issue.

my Sidekick 4G is very old and just now went into bootloop... i googled the word and came across this forum.
As quoted above by previous poster that a power button repair was needed... I figured that I had nothing to lose, it being so old, I smashed the crap out of the Sidekick 4G on its power button. Lo and Behold, it booted into the system successfully.
SO... if no one has any qualms about smashing the crap out of their power button... give it a shot. It worked for me.

Mines stuck in a boot loop too.
I don't know if my Sidekicks problem is related to this or not. I rooted it and flashed it over to Glorious Overdose v5 on May 22nd this year and it's been running great. At least it was until last Friday, Sep 13. I was having trouble connecting to the WiFi at my house so I rebooted the phone. When it started to come back up a female voice started saying, "VooDoo lagfix has been disabled." "Converting /data and /system partitions." "Conversion time estimated 10 minutes."
I let it do it's thing and that's all it's been doing all weekend. I can get into recovery mode, I've tried restoring the phone from my backup with no success. I've even tried running through the process of setting up GOv5 again and it says it's successful, but the phone never boots up. It just stays in the same blasted bootloop and saying the same things over and over again about VooDoo. I've checked the VooDoo logs and there is an error file for the 13th and the logs following say "conversion." Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I can do to get my phone working again? Everything I've tried to research so far hasn't worked.

v5 hold both volume button, the track button and power button. Should put you into recovery mode. If not, you will have to put phone into download mode. You do this by taking out battery, then pluging into computer. When you reinsert battery hold volume down and power, if I remember correctly, and your download screen should come up. From your cp manually unroot it. Then it should be fixed, and just reroot it. I hope this was helpful

Hey, MythEdge. I'm not sure if you get notifications here or anything, but I registered to this site specifically to thank you; my phone ( Sidekick 4G, like OP ) bricked, and I smashed it against the table a few times ( you know, delicately... ) and it resurrected.
So thank you, sir; you were precisely correct. It worked on both of my phones, which had the exact same problem.
Just, wow. Thank you.

And almost a year later I log in and see this. Your most welcome. I haven't been working on phones for awhile but if I remember right, some models can be powered on by plugging the phone into a power source and when the phone vibrates or has a sign of life unplugging the unit. Some cables don't work and sometimes doing this via a computer can power up a device. Other than that, the other more dangerous way is to short out the pins on the bottom of the unit. I don't remember the pins but you can google a charge port diagram to help. I don't recommend doing this unless you have absolutely no other choice. Incidentally, this is why a phone will power itself on when a battery is put in and no other button is touched. The port is wet and corrosion has caused a link on the power pin and believe its pin 3. A simple cleaning with 90%+ rubbing alcohol solution will fix if cleaned quick enough.

[Q] HTC ONE S Bricked

Hey Guys,
a friend of mine just bricked his HTC-OneS and I'm here to help him get it back to life
He installed the latest PacMan Rom and everything was awesome.
All over sudden the Phone didn't boot up anymore.
It can be charged via USB, so maybe one can do something over USB
Windows-PC doesn't recognize the Phone he says...
As far as I remember its an HTC One s ville c2 (is there anything like this)
Due to the Fact that I'm a Motorola User, I have no idea where to start trying to recover his Phone...
Please Help me do it

do you know how to use some adb/fastboot commands? run fastboot oem getcid in the bootloader.
hold down volume down and power to go into the bootloader.

I would try to get into the bootloader first. That would provide a gateway to possibly fixing his (or her) phone.

Hope to get into bootloader, will get hands in his phone in monday.
Coming from Motorola i'm used to a factory tool where i can flash official Firmware via PC. Is there anything like this for HTC phones?
If not first thing i would try is flashing a New recovery system via fastboot to have sth to work with. Anyone agree with this plan?
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

I don't think I've ever seen a tool like that. I think the best bet would be to get into recovery, mount and try to flash a new rom (C2 roms in this case).

Yes, go to androidruu.com, look for villec2 and click on it. The latest RUU should work unless he is carrier branded. Then you will need to use a carrier RUU.

Really sounds like it is hard bricked.
I could mention things that you have already most likely tried.
Holding power down for 30 seconds
holding power down for 10 seconds under bright light so the front sensor registers (prevents messing up your phone while in your pocket)
when plugged in computer, does device manager show it as "qhsusb_dload" (bricked)
Hold power down and volume down for 10 seconds. release power button and continue holding volume down.
From replies from manufacturer that people post here, often they replace the battery and (motherboard?) Seems like something happens and a sudden battery discharge messes up the works.

So quick question, due to the fact that the Phone is hard bricked, can i send the Phone back in, and get things fixed, cause the Phone was s-off and rooted before, so warranty is void.
Is there any way they could find out about it? Like a blown fuse or anything?

Your guess is as good as mine. There was one guy who posted here, that they did fix it, and when they sent it back they had turned back on security, or S-on. So they obviously knew and didn't care. One of those ymmv. I kind of doubt he did anything wrong and it is a defect. People post on here with completely stock w/ same symptoms.

[Q] Need help recovering from QPST -URGENT-

Hey guys I need some help asap! I have had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks now. I had rooted it and put in cwm recovery. The other day I had switched over art from Dalvik. Later in the day I was using linux deploy from the app store. About an hour after when i was browsing the web the device returned an error stating that the devices memory was full..... I knew there was no way. I powered off the device and that was the last of it. It does not power on in the traditional sense it does not go into recovery it does not go into fastboot and it certainly not the OS. Just a black screen. However it does get recognized as a QHUSB device when connected to a PC after fussing with the drivers adb or fastboot drivers no matter the version do not work the device will appear in device manager as though it is there but running adb devices or fastboot devices returns no devices. After extensive driver version attempts and toold nexus rootkit etc i have found that the slightly responsive driver for anything is the LG AndroidNet Diagnostic driver. Although QPST hangs when trying to download via Sahara and CDMA workshop will connect but it does it fails when trying to read from phone. I know there are tools for devices in the same situation. Is there one for the nexus 5? Or can someone help me recover this bad boy? This version is the google play version and not the t-mobile or sprint variant. HEEELP!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

Try to turn off your phone. I know it looks like it is turned off but it's not. Press power button about 10secs then release it and then press and hold it with the two volume keys. You should find yourself in the bootloader and there you could flash stock rom back.
If that not works. Connect the phone to the pc. Open up device manager. Press and hols power button and when the qhusb dissapears press and hold both volume keys while you still pressing the power key. You may end up again in qhsusb, try to wait a little bit more with the pressing both volume keys after each try.
I hope it will work, but I know a guy who bricked his device like you with cwm, his phone also appears as qhusb device on the pc and he could not recover.
Tha last thing you can do is send it back to google to recive a replacement device.

If there is no traces or signs you removed the battery (like finger prints or damaged back cover) then google will never find out you have custom rom on your device, because they cant turn it on. It does not worth the effort to google to somehow hack the data out from the broken flash chip. What they will do is that they try to turn it on, then they see it is not possible so they flas stock rom through qhusb ans that wipes all the data of your phone and reformat everything. Or maybe unbricking the device does not wort the effort too and google just send you a replacement device.

You are asking for help with it. To answer your question. It's called jtag and lots of people know how to do it. I'd look for "mobile tech videos". QHUSB is a true brick.
EDIT: Or you could just RMA it. I think that might have been what you where asking to begin with. lol

@joutcast dude it sounds bricked. I'm sure Google will give you another device if you RMA it.
I'm very serious. Im Not being smart about it. I highly doubt Google will do anything to check unless you left obvious traces of it being tampered.

You need to JTAG it. It'll cost you about $65 and you'll have a working phone again. I'd check craigslist for JTAG in your area, a lot of people are doing it now.
And stop being so sensitive.

Work the problem and not each other.

Sensitivity is what I do best LOL. I went ahead with the RMA route and have been with out a phone for over 15 days. The reason being I am unemployed and could not afford the $450 for an advanced replacement. I still have not heard a peep out of Google as to when I can even think about getting a tracking number from them..... What cracks me up is the fact that if I had done an advanced RMA the hold on my card would of fallen off a long time ago and at that point they still would not have any security on the device. Not only that they have had my phone since Tuesday of this week.

Could be the motherboard or display(since you say screen doesn't turn on).. It's better you take a professional advice about the same.. Send your device in for repairs!
If it was bought via playstore then google will send you a replacement device and if a LG covers the warranty then they will repair it.
