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%?

Hey all, got a bit of an odd issue with charging whilst phone is switched off.
when i plug it in, the orange light comes on, but then after a few seconds it goes off. i can sometimes see a faint red glow in the trackpad, and others the camera flash LED's even flash, 1, 2 or sometimes 3 times.
im not really sure if its charging, it doenst seem to be.
Charges fine when on. OR when off with "Fast boot" enabled (i usualy have that off).
im running latest CWM Recovery from rom manager. 5.0.2.7 from RM 4.8.0.2
Rom wise im using Undead's Senseless v3.7.1
Rooted and S-OFF using Revolutionary.
Any thoughts?
TIA.
Ross.
I think its normal. Mine has done that too an.d charged

Try rebooting the phone again and then shut it down. Now wait almost a minute before plugging in the charger. If fastboot is unchecked and I plug in the charger too fast after turning off the phone, I get that issue too sometimes. Waiting a little longer before plugging in seems to do it for me.
i'm pretty sure this is a ClockworkMod issue, and each new release was supposed to fix it, but i guess not? i'm 99% sure when i briefly rolled back to unrooted stock, this issue wasn't there. and even with the issue, i believe the battery charges, regardless of what the light is doing?

It's definitely a ClockworkMod issue and you're right every Recovery Release to date has had it's problem in the charging department with the phone off and fastboot unchecked.
On the latest OFFICIAL release (v5.0.2.7)though, the steps in my previous post seem to help. If fastboot is unchecked and you turn the phone off, just wait a really long pause before plugging in the charger and it may blink once but then the orange charging light will come on and stay on and will turn green when charged like it's supposed to. It also doesn't freeze the phone up like the first Revolutionary Recovery we had.
This has been my experience with Official CWM Recovery v5.0.2.7 while leaving fastboot unchecked. I hope it helps.
Cool, will do that. Gotta finally upgrade from CWM 4.0.0.9 I guess
Thanks for the replies. ive tried switching off, and leaving for a while, and then plugging in. Orange light came on, but after about 5 mins it went off. i tried switching it back on again but had to unplug charger before it would power on. i then just charged normally as battery was low and didnt want to risk being unable to charge.
ive just reflashed 5.0.2.7 and will test again soon incase there was something wrong there.
battery was completely full this morning at 7am. and even just with phone sat there idle, only got just over 8 hours out of it and it was down to 24%. so now also wondering if there is some other issue with the rom or recovery. seems to be pulling between 250 and 500ma even with screen off. (using current widget)
will see what happens and report back.
Just a quick update. switched off, and plugged in again. light blinked twice and went off. but could faintly see trackpad flashing. tried to take picture, and obviouslt its the IR LED inside flashing. see attached.
then 10 mins later, orange charge light has finally come on. and trackpad stopped flashing. Lets see if it charges!
weird things going on with this phone! lol.
Hi all. I have years of rooting under my belt but this is the first Samsung phone i've owned and I've got quite an issue. I was playing a game and the phone just shut off on me. I went to restart it and nothing. Did a battery pull, i felt it vibrate like it was trying to turn on and still nothing. So I tried to boot into cwm using volume up/down and power and the Samsung splash screen flashes for a split second and then shuts off and the phone just vibrates like it's going to turn on but won't do it.
So I tried battery pulls, holding power down, and now when I plug it into the computer it vibrates every two seconds but won't turn on. What's the deal this seems like a major hardware malfunction and Odin/CWM none of that stuff is usable because it just won't boot into anything.
So last resort do you guys have any suggestions i'm all ears :-(
I've had this a few times before... I forget which one exactly but either vol up + power button...or vol down + power button gets you to download mode and then you can flash the softbrick fix.
or if you do manage to get to CWM, you'll need some quick fingers to get to the "install zip" option before it reboots. once in there you're good to flash your ROM.
or, get a USB jig to get to download mode and flash soft brick fix.

False alarm, apparently there is a battery bug reported on other forums. My phone had read 100% for quite awhile and I was digging the battery life but apparently i was over zealous. The meter was reading 100% but the battery was draining and the phone died. It wouldn't fire up until i left it on the charger for awhile. Very odd, guess I will delete this post and research this battery issue... unless someone else knows more about it
I have the same battery issue, but only when I use my car charger. When I take it off the car charger, it will read 100% till I reboot. Only after reboot will it start reading the battery state correctly. I DO NOT have this issue with the house charger...... Strange.
you guys after charging for 100% go to cwm and format battery status this will probably resolve ur issue.
Its not Really a problem as the phone runs fine, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this, it happens on every rom i have put in since root and downgrade, if i power it off it reboots normally
Also if i Pull the battery and put it back it Auto powers on

Is your power button maybe recessed or stuck? Could be causing it.

If it means aything it feels fine and passes CWM button test just fine.. It still has that slight click to it
EDIT: Ok upon checking again, as i haven't actually tried in a while it dosen't straight reboot, it reboots to recovery/CWM, the only reason i want ti to power down it to do a full charge on the battery, now i have been told this is frivolous but hey my battery is old, got the Shift when it first came out and it still last two plus days on a charge

You get two days out of an original battery . I would be very happy about that. If what your saying is that when you power down, and then plug it in to charge it reboots into Recovery. Then that is normal, it happens a lot on rooted devices ( not all but a good portion ). As for your device just rebooting as soon as you stick the battery back in. I'm going to have to agree with notso on this and say something is wrong with your Power button. It should not be doing that. I had that happen on a Shift that had been dropped. Turned out the Power button was damaged. It was stuck half in. Which caused a bunch of weird things.
Well then I guess I cant complain, but yes I get more then 48 hours from a charge, I charge it over night every other night and try to deep charge it once a month, seeing as i cant use mine to do it I use my wifes, my Full charges consist of Complete discharge, Charge to 100%, power down and leave on charger for 1 hour, then power back up and leave on charge for another hour once in a while during the Full cycle clear bat stats

I am able to get 2 days out of the the 2000mah or the original battery with drob's latest kernel.
Actually, a brand new factory battery seems to hold up better than the 2000mah batteries we got.
It's a htc charging while off issue if it powers itself into recovery once your phone shuts off. You'll need to talk to koush about it because the older recoveries can power while off but the newer ones can't because the older method no longer works on the newer recovery source code.

Ok guys, I'm in a predicament, I flashed the latest AOKP build 3 (clean flash) flashed IMOv.16 cache/dalvik/permissions and everything worked great. This was around 2pm. I spent the rest of the day just messing around with settings getting it how I liked it. even after several reboots. Now my battery dies around 11:45pm so I plug it up and it vibrates once, the charge screen shows for a second but the charging icon doesnt spin and then cuts off. tried it for about 30 minutes in the wall, 30 minutes from usb from computer, now its been in the wall for about an hour, if I unplug and plug it the phone does nothing, but if I pull the battery put it back in and plug it up to either power source the charge screen shows for about a second and then cuts off, but nothing happens after that any suggestions? has this happened to anyone else? what should I do?
Ok im not sure why that happened, but I fixed it. I pulled the battery, put it back in and instantly help VOL down + Home + Power and I got it tothe screen before Odin. So I was going to flash stock, but I figured if i can get into Odin I can get into recovery so I pressed down to restart phone instead of up to enter odin mode and it restarted and booted up, with a significant charge on it! Phew thought I had done something bad! :victory: My blood pressure is returning to normal now, but why did that happen in the first place? Will it happen again if my battery dies?

Outstanding work! My blood pressure is down now too.
my sis had her phone with her and it eventually died cause it wasnt charged so she put it on the charger. I went and checked on it and it wasnt turning on, it just kept vibrating every few seconds. I thought it was a battery problem so I took my fully charged battery (we have the same phones) and put it in hers but it still kept vibrating. The night before I had installed a new version of TWRP on hers. Could it be a bad recovery? Im not sure cause even the few times I can get it in download mode, it then turns off and starts doing it again. Everything was working fine,even after the TWRP update until like 20 hours later.
Symptoms:
Constant vibrating.
Samsung Logo at times.
Was able to start into recovery but it cut off again.
Was able to go into download mode but it cut off again.
Any help? Main thing I want to know is that, could there be a chance its cause TWRP is broken?
Sticky or stuck power button most likely.
