I recently flashed a new ROM and everything went well. 2-3 weeks later my phone died from lack of charge, I connected it. I turned it on and my start up screen begins but it just stays there...the phone doesn't turn on. I've let it charge completely, and it still will not turn all the way on.
Is there something I can try? How does one get into recovery or download mode with this phone?
Start your phone by pressing volume up and power button together. This will boot the phone into boot loader menu. Then use volume button to scroll down and select recovery. Press power button to boot into recovery.
You may try flashing a diff ROM and see if it boots.

The ROM (a Hellybean version) is just not working...I reloaded it and I still get stuck at the startup screen. As this phone doesn't have an external SD card, how would one go about putting in another ROM?
Or simply, how do I go back to stock? Is there something like ODIN? Sorry the noob questions...I know my phone front and back (old Captivate) and I'm actually trying to fix this for my boyfriend. Thanks

Go into Recovery-> Mount and Storage -> Mount USB Storage, then you're Computer will recognize your phone, and will able to see your SD card, then put Rom in the Sd Card, unmount SD card from recovery, Go back, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from SD card and happy Flashing
It worked Thank you guys! :good:

reset your phone. power it off. press and hold volume up + volume down and power until prompted to restore. Press volume up to restore then again to restart. That might allow for android to boot.
I was installing ClockwordMod, and the phone reset, then goes to the recovery installation and says replacing stock recovery with clockwordmod, then restarts, goes to recovery installation saying replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod.. and repeat.. wtf?
no button method seems to be working, phone isnt on long enough to be picked up by odin, just goes back to the installation, battery is charged, is there a way to stop the replacing?
adb reboot download
I'm installing sdk right now. hopefully it can interrupt the loop pre cwm

I know you said none of the button combos are working but try this if you cannot get adb to work:
1. Remove your battery, external SD card and SIM card
2. Reinsert battery.
3. Hold down both volume buttons and while holding them down plug the phone in.
hopefully that helps.
nope the buttons dont give it any kind of reaction, just goes backinto the replacing the stock recovery. i installed the sdk but cant seem to figure out the adb side
adb will not recognize. oh my gawd.
is there a way to erase the internal sd card? i think it just keeps applying an update zip and the update zip is a RENAMED CWM.. has to be what it is.. no button methods work for me,, and restarts before it can connect
anybody? i was the only one on the IRC room. Every guide I find talks about hitting buttons
Thank a Jig.
I am a SUPER NOOB... I rooted my phone and S-Off it... Was trying to flash a ROM, did not work no my phone is stuck at all white screen with HTC across it.. Please help
if you pull the battery to turn off the phone, put the battery back in and hold the volume down button while you press the power button does it take you to the bootloader? And secondly, can you get to the recovery from there?
Yes... Now the son of a gun won't even power on...
I done did something bad... It wont even power up, or charge.... Before you ask me could I get to the boot loader screen I could, but I was jacking around with all kinda of stuff now the thing won't even power up..
How long are you holding the power button to turn it on, you just need to press the power button long enough to power the device on, but keep your finger on the vol down button until you get to the bootloader. Also, do you have the updated clockwork mod recovery installed that doesn't have the charging issue. Basically, is your battery dead?
ok now i have power...
Just please help me get my phone to come on so i can use it.. I am in boot loader now(held power button and volume down button)
go to recovery
Did it... What's next? I've tried everything on the list.. Nothing, that was before I actually posted the thread...
ok, if you are in the clockwork mod recovery, from there you need to do a full wipe, "data factory reset" cant remember the exact option. after you do a full wipe then you can try to install the rom again.
"data factory reset" did.... Phone still can't get pass that same screen....
did you re-install the rom after the factory reset? Also, the rom takes a while to boot the first time.
how can I re-install a Rom if my phone cant even get pass the screen and come on for me to get to the disk drive to drag and drop the ROM?
I am new to the andriod world, so please excuse the Noob-Ness
Ok..
When you downloaded the rom did you put it on your sd card?
What rom did you flash, and how did you flash it?
Lets start there.
**Edit**
And did you even read the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I put it on my SD card.... I tried to flash it, didn't work... I flash well attempted to flash it from the Recovery Mode(Power and Volume down) click "install from Sd card" and click the ROM, then rebooted...
My suggestion would be to use your computer to download a new rom from the dev section. Find a usb adapter for the micro SD card and move the new rom to it. Try flashing the new rom from CWM. Sounds to me like you got a rom that isn't for the sensation. Do you remember which rom you downloaded?
InsertCoin..I think it was me.. I just might have **** something up.. I follow the direction from the guy on Thelockr dot com.. it wasnt that hard. I just F my phone up...
How long are you waiting when you turn on your phone after flashing the rom? As I said before it takes a while to boot the first time.
At least 3 mins per go.
I have a samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G that I rooted and flashed cm9 onto. Today I went to go flash a new rom on. When I am in recovery, whatever option I want to do, whether its wipe data or install from sd card, it just goes blank with the clockwork logo. So I then realized that I can't even access my external sd card on my phone. If I try to plug my phone into the computer, I just get the device not recognized popup.
So I can't restore my previous backup, I can't flash a new recovery, I can't even use an external sd card because it doesn't read properly, and the phone won't connect to the computer because the drivers are all screwed up. I don't know what to do. I tried a data reset, I tried to use rom manager, but it doesn't work with the exhibit 2.
I know it's an outdated slow phone, but I need this phone to work. Thanks!
Try pressing a different button to select, while in recovery. On my phone, I can use power button or search button. Menu button removes all text & I'm left with just the background.

I normally use the power button because that's what is normally suggested.

The answers are in there.
At the very lest you should be able to do an Odin flash but would wait on that for now.
Thank you for reading in advance! Any ideas here would be appreciated!! I will try and describe what happened in as much detail as possible...
1. Flashed MIUI on my Xperia miro, was working fine
2. Restored apps and system data from Titanium
3. Tried opening my contacts but got an error message, some android process not responding and then the contacts app would crash too (this happened multiple times)
4. Decided to do factory reset so I backed up everything again onto Titanium (I'm not too worried about the back up as all apps can be downloaded again/contacts collected again)
5. On MIUI went to Settings/Backup and reset/Factory reset and reset the whole thing including unmounting SD card
6. I left the phone to do this and when I came back it was completely unresponsive
I now can't do any kind of boot (just power button, volume up + power, volume down + power, both volume + power) and I can't boot into fastboot or flash (volume up + USB, volume down + USB), it doesn't vibrate when powering on or show any LEDs, the only response I can get from my phone is that the computer recognises it when I plug it in, but it can't find or install any drivers for whatever mode my phone is now in...
I've tried everything I can think of (e.g. trying to boot into recovery etc) so now I'm stuck :crying: I can access an external SD card and put files onto that then put it back in the phone if that helps at all.... Thanks in advance!!
Maybe your battery is dead? Charge it via external charger , and then try connecting in fastboot.
