So far you are the only person with this problem so we are running through the basics.
Did you get any errors or messages during the update? Did the phone run out of battery mid update? Did anything odd or unusual happen?
quick question in while in the topic, had he done a FULL nandroid backup and was able to atleast get to boot screen would he be able to restore his phone? just a quick questions because to this day i have no idea how the nandroid thing works i cant do it on my x64 vista either and dont see how it comes in handy lol. Sorry just trying to fig it out.
after i tried to install the radio update it showed some sort of chip with an arrow and then it froze for over 10 mins so i ended up taking out the battery
@zgjbeta Yes. If you can get to the blinkin android screen, your not really bricked. Nandroid would fix it right up.
If it wont even turn on, like your case. I dono what to tell you.
For starters, try to connect it to a wall outlet to make sure its not the battery.
Also tell us exactly what happened during the update process.
EDIT: I read your most recent post. That's strange because everyone gets the chip thing, you shouldve tried home + back or menu + green + red.
One of those wouldve most likely worked.
Good luck.
Also maybe try to take it out again and put it back in.
I had the chip and arrow after the radio update, I didn't take the battery out, started pressing random keys, lol... and then it went away and booted back to a JF recovery style screen. Pressed home + back and it rebooted to a stuck flashing android. Then did call+menu+end to reboot and it has worked fine ever since.
There is definitely something whacky going on...
yes i tried to do the home key plus end and camera plus end options while in that chip state but didnt do anything so i resolve to take out the battery and it wont turn on again. i also tried all the button reset combo nothing happens
If it wont even turn then there is really nothing that can be done. Another thing I would try is if you know someone else with a G1 try their battery.

Also try cleaning the battery contacts in the phone and on the battery. This happened to one of my dumbphones once - cleaned out the battery contacts and it worked again. Bizzare situation, simple solutions first.
You might've turned it off while it was writing a vital file. Thus your phone might be bricked.
Here's an idea - sent it back to T-Mobile/HTC - and I don't think they will notice you violated your warranty until it's too late (they have to fix your phone to find out) so you could just refuse to pay and have them send it back to you.
I too saw the chip with the arrow thing, so that makes 3 people in this thread. It happened when I did the radio update. Anyway, in my case, I held down the recovery mode keys for a while and it went to the menu. Then I just rebooted and everything was great. Glad I didn't take out the battery (I considered it).
I had the chip and just waited and it took care of itself. Just be patient people.
plug in the wall charger, wait 10 seconds, then hold the red power button for 3-5 seconds then release, it should turn on
i tried that didnt work anymore advice?
also is there any way to run diagnostics of this phone to pc to make it work?
If the phone won't turn on, go back to the T-Mobile store and ***** em out. Not much else to say if we can't even get power to it.
My Fuze was running PROven ROM 2.2 and various others before that fine, Hard-SPL and everything done correctly.
Now the device will not turn on with the power button, however i CAN get to the BootLoader and the HardReset Screen, i've tried hard-resseting and re-flashing with multiple roms- they say its succeful and then i still CAN'T power on
please anyone help if you can, thanks in advance
try flashing the stock rom
tried that..
i did, both the SD card and the USB method- no luck :/
says flash was successful- still won't boot up...
remove the sd card then try restarting it
i've tried that also, no luck
Plug in your phone via USB to your computer and boot into the tricolored bootloader screen without your SD Card. It should say USB at the bottom.
Download and run stock AT&T ROM (Assuming you have an AT&T branded phone since you said Fuze): http://rapidshare.com/files/157242627/RUU_Raphael_Cingular_US_.exe
This should install your original shipped package.
Now if you still get a black screen, at this point, remove your SIM Card and reset your phone.
nothing
thanks for the link, tried it, yet again, no luck.....
is the back light on but the screen is black or does the phone look completely dead with no back light? Plug in your AC adapter and see if the light fades in and out to indicate charging.
I know this might sound retarded but have you tried pressing the reset button on the bottom of your phone?
I'm sure you tried so try this step. Pull out the battery and let the phone sit there for a good 2 minutes then try reflashing to your stock ROM.
If you still have a black screen, pull out the battery again for another 2 minutes, put it back in but this time plug in your phone using the AC adapter and just charge the phone for a few minutes then try turning your phone on.
thanks
thanks variablex, however i cannot try your last step because i had already given up and used my warranty by the time you posted it, i will be receiving a new fuze in the mail soon - would've rather not used it yet and tried more steps but now its too late :-\
thanks anyways though
Hi guys,
Need some help here
I have a HTC Sensation, I'm using Android Revolution HD 6.6.2, everything was working fine until this morning. My phone made a strange beeeeeeeeep, I couldn't do anything, so I turned it off, and since, no way to turn it on again. I last charged the phone last night, so the battery shouldn't be a problem.
I tried to boot with vol. down and power, not working.
When I plug the charger, the light doesn't turn on.
I really have no idea what to do next. Any tips ?
My main problem is that I bought the phone in Ireland, and I since moved in France, so I can't go back to the place where I bought it to replace it..

Can you see the phone when you plug it to your computer?
Or you could try a new battery
Nop, nothing on the comp when I plug it.
I have a spare battery, same issue.
I just tried to boot without the sim and the sd card, it worked (wtf ?).
Shutted it down, and no power once again.
I'm gonna try with another sim card when my wife will get back home, will keep you informed, thanks for the answer.

You could backup your sdcard and then format it on your computer.

I had this problem and what I did in the end was use the Android Debug Bridge. Here are instructions on how to install it:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Then once you've installed it run command prompt (Start>Run>cmd) and type cd/androidsdk/tools (or whatever location you've installed the adb to)
Plug your sensation into your pc with USB and then type adb devices into command prompt. Hopefully it will come up with a code below devices attached.
Then...type adb reboot recovery and hopefully your device will boot into recovery, from which you can relfash a rom or whatever
Hope that helps!

panic! lol I'm not sure - my first guess would be that the battery has somehow died - that would explain why there is no light when you charge it, just the same as if you were to try and charge it without any battery plugged in! If you have a multimeter, try measuring the voltage output from your battery and ensure that the battery is making proper contact with the terminals in the battery compartment

I tried it with another battery, still nothing. I phone has just like completely shut down. I was in the middle of flashing a ROM when it froze up on me and I turned it off. Turned it back on... well I tried to.. and it never woke up. Is it permanently bricked or what?

Ohh it froze while flashing a Rom ???
That's bad man it might have corrupted all the partitions especially if bootloader partition got corrupted then your phone is bricked which seems to happen in your case . you got no luck with adb/fastboot?
Edit:
You were able to bootup without sim and sdcard? Then have you tried another sdcard

Hi, I actually just experienced the exact same problem. I actually finished flashing the ROM and everything rebooted..and reinstalled the apps too. While calling on the phone...all of a sudden it made the beep sound. IT rebooted the first time..and I Thought everything was ok. Then I made a call again...and after a minute or so...the long beep came on...and then now it's completely unresponsive...no light when plugged...can't turn on.
Any update or ideas?
Hi everybody, I followed every single steps of the guide to install ICS and ARHD 6.6.3 on my phone, but something went wrong... It hasn't yet booted to the home screen after 1.5 hours it finished to flash the ROM. It's stuck on the white screen with the "htc - quietly brilliant" logo. What can I do? I tried to turn it on by pulling out the SIM and SD cards, but it doesn't solve the problem.

So what happened with this? Mine did exactly the same thing and I had just installed 6.6.2 with the strange beep and won't turn on after it's turned off.

Can you do a restore?
Or go into recovery?
ICSensation 4G
No...it won't turn on...won't do anything with volume down + power...or when plugged in to PC and ran as ADB
A follow-up of my situation..
The day I started the thread, I was finally able to start again my phone, don't ask me how, I have absolutely no clue ! I removed the battery, sd card, sim card, put them back, and so on, for hours, and finally it worked..
BUT.
This morning, same situation. And I can't get it back to power up, once again.
I can't access it through adb, as the phone is totally powered off.
Wondering if it's a bug from Android HD 6.6.2 as newr got the same version and the same problem..
Hmm...so you got it booted up again? So it's not a hardware problem? I don't know if it's the ROM problem..it happened afetr I installed 6.6.2...but mine never did turn back on...no matter what I did....can't connect to ADB...can't turn on...can't charge.
I just sent it back to HTC...hopefully it won't turn on...as if they do..they'll say it's not under warranty cuz it's rooted.
Anyone have problems with 6.6.2? If it's causing it...it should be told as otherwise, others may have problems turning on their phones.
How can we tell if it's hardware vs. software?
I tried a lot of things since yesterday, but this time it's not booting again.. *sigh*
And in France, apparently you can't send it to HTC directly, you have to send it to one company working with them, where you have to pay 20 euros just for the diagnostic, I'm so f*cking happy right now.
Same problem here. Weird noise, line across the screen and dead. Plugging USB into PC comes up with a detection noise but immediately fails to find drivers. Any one had any more luck?
Are you all using the same rom? Maybe the developer of the Rom knows something about it, I would ask. Seems strange that your all using same Rom and same thing is happening to you all. Hopefully it can be fixed! I wish you all the best! Wish I knew of a solution but sadly I do not . Best wishes .

Hi, I'm having problems with my samsung infuse... I installed [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option onto my phone using odin, worked fine for a few months.
After that it started to mess up and occasianally brick itself.. so i wanted to put a different mod on, Tried using GTG unbrick and now its bricked...
Every time i try to load either 2.3.6 GB or stock firmware, it works for all of 2 minutes, and bricks itself again.
I have tried everything, except for this. Help?
I'm not sure I'd really be able to help, but people are going to want to know what it does exactly when it "bricks"
Back to stock is usually a pretty safe bet and has worked for me every time I've botched my phone. It almost sounds like a hardware problem if back to stock isn't working. I'm pretty sure it erases pretty much all data from your phone.
Two minutes in to boot up your phone might still be checking your SD card. back to stock doesn't affect the SD card. Perhaps try running without the SD card to eliminate that as a problem.
I think I may have found what the problem is, The modified recovery file is still on the internal memory.. Any way I can get that off? or am i stuck.

Well
Well I did this. It says to re-do the flash and use "Flash Bootloader" Well now my phone wont go into download mode AT ALL. I've tried ever singe way possible.
Phone is stuck on Samsung loop, or when its plugged in, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and is stuck between a blank screen and the loading bar. I've been trying for hours to put it into download mode, and this isn't the first time this has happened. but everything on the phone is now stock.
Oh, I still got the Rainbow pixel screen when it did boot up...

If it boots, it should go into download mode... be sure you are following the right process... some people hold the power button in and it won't work that way...
DOWNLOAD mode: Power off. Open back cover. Remove battery. Press and hold both volume buttons - (do not hold power button) Insert battery while holding volume buttons. Plug in USB cable.
It can also be achieved by open back cover, Remove battery. Press and hold both volume buttons. Plug in USB cable and then insert battery.

Edit: You may need to try a different USB port on your puter, remember that you have to use the same port each time for Heimdall to execute properly... good luck.

This is exactly what is happening to my phone right now, after I booted up the fix you sent me.
That being the case it is most likely the power button is stuck.
Here is a video that, although it is a "how to" replace the screen, the point is it shows the phone being taken apart thus allowing one to get to the power button and clean it. This worked for another user that had the same problem - hope it is helpful for you as well.

For quite a long time I did not make any change on Nexus ROM or applications, but yesterday my Nexus turns off while I was web browsing. I tried to turn it on but it refuses. It is only possible with USB cable plugged in, but then it constantly turns on for 1 second and then turns off, and this is going in endless loop as soon as USB cable is plugged in. But with unplugged cable NEXUS can not be powered on.

Yesterday I somehow manage to get in recovery mode and I wipe cache and Nexus boot ROM, but after 30 minutes of usage it again turns of by itself. After that for more than 100 times I tried to get to recovery mode but I could not.
So, I think that my only chance to wipe cache and put new ROM is through ADB. But I do know how to do that. Can anyone help me?
P.S. I both my NEXUS in US, but I live in Croatia (EU) and Google tells that they can not make exchange for other NEXUS (although my phone is under warranty) because they can only do that for postal address inside US. Because I do not live there and any of my friends or relative will travel in US soon my only way to get my NEXUS working is through ADB.
sounds as your power button is "stuck'.

It usually helps the button back out again, I think you should RMA to LG, I'm sure they're worldwide. You could always open up the phone and try unsticking the power button if you can't be bothered sending it back.

Power button is not what cause the problem. I found many reports about the same problem, like on this page
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/29tr5n/nexus_5_wont_turn_on_google_screen_keeps_flashing/
but nothing which I tried did not helped. But certainly power button is not causing the problem.
When the problem appears for the first time I manage to get into recovery and wipe cache, and after that phone booted ROM. After 30 minutes of working phone turns off and now I'm not able to get even into recovery.

So, since shaking, hard wacks, and anyting physical did not helped after your post I dismantle my phone and without back plate and upper plate on chips my phone works perfectly. So it seems that upper plate which covers chips is the cause of the problem.
For me, not even disassembling has helped, so I bought another motherboard and put it into my phone.

the problem occured and i found what it was my power button it wasnt staying in place like its tilting so now i got to buy a new button for it :/
As far as I remember, the button is soldered to the board, and can not be bought separately. I know the second thing for sure, since I was also only searching for a separate button in the beginning...
