The title says my problem. I am rooted, unlocked boot loader, rooted, and running AOKP Build 4 Jellybean. The phone was on at one point, and after the screen dimmed it wouldn't turn on. I did a battery pull and turned the phone back on and nothing happens. It vibrates, and the screen stays black. I have tried to boot it in download mode and recovery as well, but nothing has happened.
I desperately need this phone for tomorrow as i will be away from my house and I should be getting a call from a future employer thanks in advance everyone.
I think i can help you .. let me know if this work for you First pull out the battery and put it back in and second put the charger in and see if the charging battery icon comes up.

Hello,
Runnin an unlocked bootloader, rooted, running Melvin's ADT rom so its just stock and rooted, nothing special on ATT. I installed the no CID flash last week and it worked fine. I have rebooted several times and there was no issue for the past week. Today i had my phone on my desk and i went to unlock it so that I could check the time and the screen wouldnt turn on. I waited about 5 mins and it still wouldnt turn on. I pulled the battery and put it back and tried to turn it on and it vibrated but the screen never turned on. I pulled the SIM, the SD card, and the battery and still no luck. I put the battery in and it wont light up at all. The buttons on the bottom, nor the screen will light up. Cannot get into the the boatloader either. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
i have not experienced this nor heard about it until today. i saw another thread with 2 other people with the same issue.. maybe some defective devices floating around out there? take it too at&t for an exchange.... here is the other thread

well it ended up being an easy fix. The phone just wasnt showing the currect battery percentage. It said the phone was at full charge but it was empty so the battery died. I went to plug the phone into the computer and see if can go into download mode to flash via odin but then it turned on. It recharged and it worked of course.
I just experience a brick issue with the Atrix 2, Went to setup a pattern screen lock, after setting one up, turned my screen off and then back on, no pattern showed up. Went into the menu again to double check a pattern was setup for the screen lock, and there was. Shut down my phone and tried to turn it back on, ever since then, the phone never turned back on, any ideas? Just purchased the phone last friday. I know i can get an exchange.
Try pulling the battery out for a couple of minutes and then restarting it. Sorta like a hard reset. If that doesnt work take it back and replace it.

I just tried this. For some reason after setting the pattern and turning the screen off I still got the standard lock screen. After rebooting the phone I now have both the slider and then the pattern. Your phone must have took a dump right then.
I think theres definitely some bugs there. First showed pattern unlock for me, then slide unlock then pattern again O.O
Yea there are a few bugs with this device, thats forsure. Just going to have to wait for a patch or somethin or OTA update.
I did get the phone to work. Apparently if your battery is at 5% and you shut your phone off, you cant turn it back on until you plug it into charge and wait for about 3 mins. Thats what I experienced. which i believe is non sense.
Heres how I found this out.
As we all know I stated that I thought my phone was bricked after setting up the pattern unlock. It wasn't the case.
1) Decided to plug in the phone and just leave it on charge
2) About 3 minutes later the phone powered on by itself while plugged in
3) Decided I would take it off charge and reboot my phone again, phone didnt power on even though I had a 5% charge left.
4) Just plugged the phone back up to charge waited to reach 10%.
5) Unplugged the charger from the phone after reaching 10%, decided to reboot the phone on battery power, reboot was successful.
Apparently if your phone is at 5% charge and you shut your phone off , you cant turn it back on until you put it back on charge. Atleast thats what my phone does.

I had that issue with my Sony Ericsson X10A too on android 2.1. My Atrix 2 does the same thing too. It doesnt make any sense to have a lock slide and a unlock pattern show up after that.
I think that is a failsafe in the firmware. Booting with 5% or less battery could cause damage is it dies mid boot, so the firmware on the phone will not start the boot until the battery has more juice. Booting is a very resource hungry operation, so booting with low battery is not a good idea.

I've been running the latest CM10 M release for a couple weeks now. Today I upgraded to the latest modems. Everything was working great for a few hours when my phone randomly shut off and now won't turn back on.
I've tried pulling the battery and charging. Can't ever see anything on the screen although it does vibrate sometimes when I hold the power button. LED will turn on when charging.
Any ideas or suggestions?
See if you're able to boot straight into download or recovery, thus will show intact boot and recovery systems.
One other test, pull battery and with phone off plug into your PC if it shows a red light its likely hard bricked.
I had the unfortunate experience of flashing wrong kernel and bricked my phone was not going to recovery or download. However if you can get to these then it may be a soft brick and restore with odin

Once my phone got stuck because I flashed a new recovery that wasn't compatible with my phone so each time I tried to boot into recovery or tried to turn on the phone nothing would happen. The only thing that got my phone working again was to go into download mode (Odin) by holding power, volume down and home buttona and than canceling it. from there the Rom started working again. I don't know if it will help in your case but you can always try.
That was a strange experience. Left it plugged in for a few hours. Came back, and was able to boot normally... although the battery was extremely low despite being plugged in for a few hours. No problems since then.
Congrats =)
Seems like disaster was avoided.

Do you know what percent your phone turned off at? Around what percent? Was it 23-25%?
Hi all, after installing a custom rom and leaving the tablet in bootloaded, it turned off. Now i cannot get it to come back out, when i plug it into the mains to power it up, i got a battery sign with a waiting symbol in middle. If i try to get into bootloader just turns off without going into it. If i unplug it then does not turn back on. anyone got some ideas how to get the bootloader
Hi, I have a galaxy s6, and it's doing a lot of weird stuff to me.
The phone first off, won't respond at all, unless it's plugged in. The battery reads charge on the battery screen you get when the phone is off. The battery charged from 97% to 100% this morning.
The phone usually just goes straight to the emergency recovery screen. I finally managed to get it to go through the emergency recovery sequence, but for some reason the screen remains off, unless I put it into download mode. In which case, the screen goes black as soon as I press the volume up button to confirm. The phone still reads through odin, and can still be flashed, but it shows no sign of life.
Would anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
