Hello. yes this is my first post, however I have searched on the forums and on google, but have not found an answer.
I have a completely stock skyrocket (i727 on ATT) that I have been charging on a non-Samsung cable. The battery died (as it has many times recently) except this time I wasn't able to turn it on. it is unresponsive to any button combo I try for any period of time.
However, it is recognized in Device Manager on my 64-bit Windows 7. I downloaded the qhsusb_dload drivers from this site and installed them, however that hasn't had any effect to my knowledge. When I hold the power button while it is plugged into my computer, my computer makes the "device connected" noise. So I know the phone is operational, it just won't turn on, nor will any sort of "charging" graphic come up when it is charging.
I saw that this is a common problem, however it seemed that everyone who hard bricked their skyrocket was trying to flash other ROMs... whereas I have a stock skyrocket. So I'm not sure why the battery dying affected it thusly.
Please help! I apologize if there is an answer already somewhere else; I wasn't able to find it.
EDIT: I saw this service:
[youtube] DOT com/watch ? v= AkJQAbwZjRk
is offered, and it seemingly will unbrick it without wiping any data... so I'm not sure if I want to do that, when I can have it repaired for free by Samsung. (the only catch is they will wipe EVERYTHING-- like an idiot, I've NEVER backed it up.)
Want to know the easiest way to make sure all questions are asked in General? Have a separate Q&A forum.
Are you sure your battery's fully charged? If so, are you sure your screen's not dead? If you haven't modded it at all, it might not be worth your time to fix it. Warranty it out.

:facepalm:
If a mod could move this that would be fantastic.... >.<
Yes, because it won't actually register in Kies, and the buttons don't light up, nor does the phone make the turning on noise or vibrate.
First off, are you sure it's not just a dead battery? Second, have you tried putting it into download mode to see what happens?
Honestly, I'd just warranty it out if you can't get the screen to come up in download mode. It's probably hardware.

I'm not exactly clear on what download mode is... However I tried it with another battery, and since my computer reacts to my hitting the power button when they're connected, I don't think that's the issue.
I think that that is what I'll end up having to do... I just really hate to lose all my data.... :'(

Hey there,
I have read these forums for a while but this is my first reply.
I am having the exact same problem as the original poster. I was browsing the internet at night while plugged in and the phone started becoming sluggish. It soon turned off and the battery charging screen turned on and showed I had ~50% battery, i pushed the power button and got the rogers splashscreen but then it would go back to the battery charging screen again. I did that cycle a few times before forgetting about it and going to bed. The next morning my phone was not responsive to the power button and the screen has been black ever since.
I have tried taking out the battery, removing the case and unplugging/replugging the light blue cable that runs along the side of the case and I borrowed a friend's battery who also has the same phone and carrier as me and it still would not work.
My phone is stock everything, i usually charge with a non-samsung power adapter/cord. I am with Rogers using the Galaxy S2 LTE phone and unfortunately out of warranty by 1 month. When plugged into the computer, Windows makes a sound as if something is connected and holding down the power button makes that sound happen about 1-2 times per second. Device manager shows an unknown USB device and unknown communications device. Kies however does not show a device connected when plugged into the computer.
I believe the OP sent theirs back to get fixed by AT&T however in my case it would involve extending my contract with Rogers by 1 year in addition to an unknow repair fee which is something I would not like to do if possible. I also unfortunately did not back up my files/photos and would prefer not to have them deleted but would be okay with having them wiped if necessary.
Any advice on the best course of action when the phone is not under warranty would be great.
You can try jtag, but you might have a different problem than it can fix. Check out mobiletechvideos.

Perhaps if he had AT&T it would be the best option, but having Rogers makes it difficult. Before you slap the hand, read the post.

Smittie was referring to the second poster.
Have either of you tried using the cable that shipped with your phones? Plug those puppies in to the phone, and the WALL SOCKET, give em about 12 hours and I'm close to willing to betcha that you will have a live device once again. Some times plugging into the computer shows charging, but does not provide enough voltage to actually charge but maintain the battery level.
It just sounds to me more like the devices are being under powered at the moment. Even though your computers may "see" the devices, they may even show they are charged or charging, resetting the battery stats could show more detail. I would however at this time also recommend to not use the ADB, or ever EVER rely on Kies.

Calling all Android Superheroes!!
I think I've done it. Turned my Charge into a paperweight. Was trying to flash the latest GummyCharged 1.91 package using Odin. It failed 3 times, but having read many accounts of similar failures I retried using different cables, different ports etc. After every "Fail" I unplugged the phone, rebooted, shut down Odin and started all over again.
After the last "Fail" message the phone simply stopped responding to anything. Won't boot, won't go into download mode, won't boot to recovery, doesn't show any sign of life when plugged into the wall.
All my reading about bricked Droids all seem to have some kind of responsiveness so don't seem to apply to my situation.
If anyone has suggestions or can point me in the direction of further resources I can research I'll be most grateful.
The worst part is going to be telling the wife when she asks what I'm doing.....
Thanks in advance for any / all help.
Call verizon tech support and give them some crap about how your phone was powering off by itself and you were dropping 4g, 3g, and 1x consistently and now your phone wont even turn on. They'll surly send you a like-new replacement phone.
I was having odin problems with my Charge as well, every rom failed... I figured out I had to uncheck 'reboot' and keep the battery in to get it to flash right. I know this doesn't really help but its similar

Thanks Sleek. I bought mine through Costco so I think I've also got the option to head back to Costco and get it swapped out. However, I've made my way through life believing that I should never surrender to the challenges presented by technology nor my own stupidity, so I'm pride-bound to at least try to make lemonade out of this situation.

Thanks anoninja - I'll keep those tips handy for the next flash attempt. And there WILL be further attempts....
I had this happen to me on the second day I had my Charge. What happened was, I was flashing what I thought was the latest version of Humble EE4, but it wasn't, it an old .md5 file for my Epic. I didn't even look at the file name, I just looked at the file extension and it would not turn on, wouldn't show that it was charging (no pun), or any sign of life other then the phone would get hot due to something with the battery.
My solution was that I called VZ customer care and said something like, "For some reason my phone will not turn on. I plugged it last night and when I awoke this morning, it will not come on. I tried pulling the battery and it still does nothing. Is there anything you can do to help me?"
So the customer care lady tried to walk me trough a factory/data reset, and you guess it, "it didn't work." After another five minutes or so of her "trying" to help me, she said that they would replace it under the warranty and she overnight-ed me a new phone and I had it the next day. I did have to send the bricked phone back to VZ, so for good measure I ran an electromagnet over it, you know just in case.
You can try it that way or go into the carrier store and play dumb (like you really shouldn't have a smart phone) and have them replace under the warranty.
Good luck!!!
Take out battery, plug into rear usb ports (if you're on a tower. If you're on a laptop it doesn't really matter. If you want to know why just ask, otherwise just do it). Fire up Odin3 with administrative rights (right click, run as admin). Hold down the lower volume button and cross your fingers. If it still won't power up into download mode, your phone has tapped out and needs to be replaced.

Some times the phone looses power during the flashing process even though it's connected to the computer. Keep the battery in the phone while flashing to alleviate this issue.

Do everything he says but odin recovery.tar its in the humble ee4 section. After that reboot phone go to settings, then development, and turn on usb debugging. It took me 2 days to figure this out. Did the same thing. From now on before you odin make sure usb debugging is enabled. Hope this helps.

Just checked that forum and realized recovery.tar is not there. If you want it just pm me and ill email it to you. Its a lifesaver in your situation.
try this;
with battery out, keep the phone unplugged and hold down the volume down button and put the battery back in (not usb cable) and see if your phone responds to download mode this way. If it does, plug the phone in and see if odin now sees your device (with the battery still in).]
This worked for me in a similar situation.

How much charge did the battery have when you started this process?
90% or so. Been charging it on the wall charger for the last 2 hrs but it's still not turning on.
Even though your screen Wont turn on sometimes Odin will still recognize it. Try this: turn Odin on pull battery from phone hold down volume buttons plug USB in put battery back in. see if Odin sees the phone. You may need to try several times.

It was just another example of my noobness. I didn't bother to try download mode. I forgot + and - with usb, so phone came on right into download. Only thing was Odin would not recognize phone. Hiemdall would but I couldn't seem to get that working. Then I moved the USB cable to different port on PC and ta da! Odin recognized the phone and the rest is history. Finally rocking the latest Valhalla.
Thanks again everyone.

That's great. These phones are very hard to brick!
OK, so I don't have to start a new thread and waste space (on the internet?), I wanted to try and piggy-back off of this one; feel free to move it.
Basically, I thought it would be OK to flash a Vibrant ROM over my girlfriend's GS4G. That was a stupid, stupid idea. I'm thinking hard brick, but cannot be sure. I've tried all sorts of button press/hold combinations, batter in/battery out, usb in/usb out and I get ZERO response.
Suggestions, or do I need to find a replacement phone and girlfriend? She works in Social Media and kind of uses her phone ALWAYS!
Well, hopefully worst case scenario you have to replace her phone. Make sure to plug the phone up to wall charger and let sit for an hour to make sure it has juice. Next, take battery out place it back in. Hold the volume up and down buttons together then plug in USB from PC to phone. This should get you into download mode. If you can get this far then there should be hope for fixing the phone.

OK, I think it was shot. We ended up going to T-Mobile, told them we did a software update via USB and the gal said, "yeah, you may have gotten a corrupt file. That'll happen." Then we got charged $20 for processing and she'll have a brand new phone by next week.
Thanks anyway.
i guess 20 isnt too bad. never flash a rom that is made specifically for your phone. dam, if you did this next week, you could have paid a little (and by a little i mean like 150. lol) and upgraded to a sgs2.
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.

Hi all experts.
I have one inquiry about my Samsung galaxy S II lte (SGH-1727) Issue.
at the beginning I read too much here but I couldn't find any answer for my phone problem.
the problem happened yesterday, when I was using my phone as usual then suddenly restarted, this issue happen many times before and its ok for me, it tried to restart but suddenly stopped( black screen), I removed the battery then I tried to restart it again, I felt the vibrating start, then stopped, without any respond at all till now, I tried many times to remove the battery and restart it but without any respond, I connected it by using the usb cable, but nothing, ( no vibration, no battery charging) the only thing is my computer can`t recognize the hardware.
I tried to do hard reset or anything, but without any respond.
Kindly, I want to know weather if this phone is totally spoiled or there is something I can do for it to make it usable again, I have a good knowledge about WM5,6,6.1,6.5. but a little bit about android.
thanks

I have been read the button problems for sure, but I think it is not related to the button, there is no respond at all, even not charging, usually if I use the charger, it should start charging, correct me if I`m wrong.
the battery was full and working fine, I tried to clean the connectors too, nothing changed.

could be a bad cable, bad battery, bad phone port, or hw failure.
id keep trying to revive it by either changing cable/charger and/or battery and keeping it plugged in for a long time, if all else fails then it probably a bad mobo or memory, happened to my sons s2 where his was getting hot while recharging and his phone died, no response of any kind, under warranty i think they replaced his mobo

if battery is removed and phone is plugged in it should vibrate, mine does, seems as if yours does not have any life so mobo would be my first guess.
and yes battery could just up and die, but would give some symptoms b4 hand

Trullty Dead?
so i have spent lots of time looking for this issue with my Hercules. i had beeb trying some roms and i think i bricked it, bad,
so odin can see it (gets a yellow) but;
i can not power on the device, get it into recovery OR download mode,
my pc cant get to the information on the phone (i have tried with SD in/ out SIM in /out)
the pc makes the noise when i cycle thru power, but the screen shows nothing,
i have installed Kies but it dosent see the device,
there hasnt been a good post that comfirms that my phone is now a paper weight,
but there has to be a way other than spending $40 to have it repaired (not including shipping)
USB JIG looks interesting but i cant see how that will help in this case...
to be honest this is my first time at ROMing around with a Galaxy,
previously i had an Gooapple 3G and was able to ROM around quite abit no issues with a bad brick like this i was able to save it before
but if anyone has any ideas or can confirm its a hardbrick let me know i only have a few hours between jobs to fix it and cant at night gf takes laptop to night shifts.
thanks for your time reading over if you have questions about anything please ask, i payed for the phone outright to put on Rogers so there is no warrenty anymore and Rogers wont cover repair.

i have installed Kies but it dosent see the device,
there hasnt been a good post that comfirms that my phone is now a paper weight,

If Odin sees it there's hope. Keep trying to get into download mode. This should be helpful, read it all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

Oh thanks, I just noticed your comment because I thought there is no chance to get my phone alive again, I think I should try this, I have one question regarding the usb jig, is there a specific JIG for every samsung galaxy model? or it is all the same for the micro USB Samsung galaxy phones? and in this case, what is the indication that will make the device run again, is there a special software to install? or after plug this JIG I can be in the bootloader? and is there any possibility to get some of my data or contacts again? thanks for your respond regarding my phone issue.
Jigs don't with on this device. Don't waste your time.
You need to try to odin the stock firmware.

This is incorrect. Jigs do in fact work. However most of the time you will be able to enter download mode without one.
I have had my skyrocket completely unresponsive to any input/button combinations. I tried my homemade jig and was able to recover via Odin. Without the jig my skyrocket would not have been repaired.

hi toyes
just a question regarding your experience regarding this issue, do you mean it was totally unresponsive? not even yellow sign? not even vibrate by connecting the USB cable? and regarding USB JIG, is it the same with 301k resistance? or there is some modifications?
thanks a lot.

Read starting at post 6435 for the next page or so...
Basically I had zero response from the phone. Was playing around with the jig and buttons, put the phone down with the jig in it. Looked back 5 mins later and it was in download mode.
I do think there is something different with my device though. Ever since I got it back from JTAG it has never wanted to reboot. Selecting reboot just shuts the phone down. Every once in awhile it reboots from recovery ok, but that is about 1 in every 10 attempts. When it doesn't reboot I need to long-press the power for about 30s - 1m to get it to fire back up. I am thinking it is some type of hardware issue but not too concerned because at this point it is still 'working'.

Hi, I know there's some threads about this already, but they don't seem to answer my problem.
Okay so my AT&T HTC One XL won't turn on
Here is what happened. I was watching a video on youtube with the phone charging from the outlet and all of a sudden it shuts off. I'm on a custom rom so I just figured it crashed. That or it shut off because I remember the phone being kind of hot. Either way I was able to turn it on again without any problems and the battery was at 20%. I started using it normally for a while and then it shut off again. This time it didn't and hasn't turned on again
When I plug it in to the wall charger no led lights, light up and when I try Power + Volume Down to turn it on nothing happens either. I did notice though that when I plug it into my PC it recognizes it (makes the usb connecting noise), but then it immediately disconnects and continues to make the disconnecting noise.
So is there any way possible to revive this phone or do I have to replace the battery or motherboard or something?
P.S. I was on KarbonKat v1.0-4, stock kernel, hboot 2.14, S-Off and I did not perform any rooting or flashing of any kind when this happened.
You might just be experiencing a power management bug. Plug the phone into an AC charger and leave it connected for eight hours or so (don't be tempted to touch it), try to power it on using the normal method, and with the volume down + power button combo, try both of those methods with and without the device connected to the charger. If you can't revive it then chances are you have a brick. But, I'd connect it again and leave it for a day or so and try again.

Could he also utilize safe mode? To see where his issues are ?

If the phone won't boot I don't see how that will work though. Usually if you can get the device to boot after this it'll be fine.

You can find my thread from a little over a month ago in this section but I experienced a similar thing and well it's fatal I bought a battery and tried that but it didn't help, it's currently in the hands of datarecovery.com who are looking at it before giving me a quote to get everything off of it. I don't want to give you false hope but odds are it's toast and it seems like something that's happening more often with the XL now that it's closing in on 2 years for most people.
I read that it could because faulty power button.

I tried this and unfortunately it didn't work.
I also doubt it is a power button issue because when i plug it into my PC and hold the power button it makes the usb connected noise.
I think it's safe to say that I have a new paperweight. I would just like to know if there's any guess that could be made as to why my phone died (ex: battery, motherboard, etc.) and how the PC detects it if its supposedly dead.

Your phone is possibly not completely dead, you might be able to get a jtag repair done on it. It's definitely worth a try, especially seeing that you still get the connection sound when you hook it up to your PC.

Why is it that no one here ever suggests sending the phone to HTC? My phone bricked once (QHSUSB_DLOAD); I contacted HTC and told them my phone shut off and wouldn't come back on, which was the honest truth and seems to be your problem, and they fixed it for free (I had to pay for shipping.) Other users here have reported similar outcomes from contacting HTC, all with unlocked bootloaders. Before shelling out for JTAG I'd definitely recommend contacting HTC.

HTC routinely charge $200 for a motherboard replacement on devices that have been modified. Plus, the vast majority of Evitas are out of their warranty period now.

Call and ask first. As with others and myself, HTC has fixed devices that were outside of the warranty (both due to time and unlocked bootloader) at no cost to the owners. At worst they'll tell you it's outside of the warranty, or you'll have spent $5 in shipping for them to tell you that they can either send it back to you, or replace it for the ~$200 timmaaa has suggested.
It's definitely worth a try.

@mudcat. If you have HTC repair it ,could you ask the RMA team what exactly what your issue was, and then post here their answer? We would appreciate it.
Thanks

Thank you to everyone for all the help. I will contact HTC and see what they can do for me and keep you all posted.
Is there a specific HTC repair website that I go to or do I just call their number?
