Hello good people
Firstly, i want to say that i searched the forum for this and i couldn't find an answer or a solution to my problem. So here it is:
I have a SGS Plus I9001 which cannot stay ON more than 1 sec. I turn on the phone, all the logos and texts pass, but when the menu shows, after 1-2 seconds the phone turns off completly or restarts itself. I have a long hisoty with my phone however :cyclops: I used a normal 2.3.6 android and then switched to CyanogenMod 10.1. It worked just fine. I was very, very happy with it. One night i left the phone charging and when i woke up in the morning, the phone was dead. Completly DEAD! Services change the whole motherboard and the phone worked just fine for about 1-2 hours and then this happened. I opened it up and saw that the motherboard shows "SGH-T959". I tried installing stock roms, different versions of Cyanogen and Kernels but nothing can turn on the phone and make it work. It just restarts itself. The only thing i ave managed to install via Odin is CWM Recovery.. However, my knowledge of this is limited so here i am seeking for your assistance
PS. I tried changing the power button but no luck.. still the same..
If anyone is interested in this problem, please post an answer or question (if you need more information)..
Thank you!

My phone runs perfectly fine until I enable Gps location. Once I enable GPS location, it freezes, then it reboots my phone and it slowly do a system check, then it continuously rebooting the lg logo screen. I tried taking out the battery and put it back in, even took out my battery for a day and it still does the same. I'm not sure if it's the hardware problem, but it's a pretty rare case, since I read most of the threads in forums, people said it can be fix once you pull out the battery, but somehow it's not working for me. Anyone knows the reason why? Btw, my phone is not rooted or used any 3rd party program.
Ah. Posted too soon. There's a master reset that I believe is Power and Volume Up. Try that.
Unfortunately, it's still not working. Is there any other possible way? Or else I have to call in and return it.
Try turning off the phone, then press power + vol down and hold it until you see the word android. This should do the factory reset.

It sounds like the permissions are not correct, or perhaps that your ROM was not flashed correctly. I have seem this problem happen numerous times due to bad firmware flashes or ROM issues. I would just download a new copy of the latest CM 7 ROM or whatever your favorite ROM is and flash it through CWM.
Thanks guys for the help. I found out that you have to hold down first then power button for around 30 second and then the droid animation comes out. I was so close to returning it. Thanks!
Hello XDA friends. This is my first official posting on the XDA site and I'm in need of serious help.
I've noticed that intense research and development has been put into this phone. With so many rom selections available for the MT4GS I decided to try out several different roms kind of playing around. Many of the roms available were very well put together.
I decided to try out the Doubleshot MIUI v0.3 as I have used on other devices in the past and liked its customization. After installing the rom I made some adjustments in the settings to personalize my phone. Everything was working fine until I rebooted my phone and now it is hard-bricked. My device is S-Off with bootloader unlocked, and prior to installing MIUI I formatted all data, Dalvik, and system. I don't know what I did to brick my device and I can't find similar issues among others.
Issue Details:
When I have the phone powered off then hit the power button my backlight will slightly light up (very dim with no splash or image), and it will vibrate (Like on a normal boot). What else is crazy is every 37 seconds it will vibrate, and this is ongoing if I let the phone sit in that state.
If I have the phone off and plug it in a power source I get no love.
I'm unable to access HBOOT or Recovery mode, and the phone is not detected when connected to PC.
Please help me.......
that looks like a screen/digitizer problem. I don't think you're even bricked seeing as you didn't mess with any partitions according to what you did above. Also if the phone vibrates and the backlight turns on then it's still alive.
Thanks for the response. I'm sure the screen is fine. I performed the reboot when the issue first happened. This phone is driving me crazy.
wait u said you phone isn't connecting to adb right?
Did you try Fastboot?
I'm not able to bring up the HBOOT menu to enter fastboot mode.
have you tried a battery pull?
Thanks for the reply. I have tried pulling/replacing the battery and didn't have any luck. I also have two spares and the issue continues........
I can't figure it out, or figure what I did exactly to cause this.
Any other ideas?
does adb recognize it when it is plugged in?
Hello everybody,
recently my brother's Nexus S started having problems. The battery life was awful and 4 days ago the power button stopped working. We were out, so i disabled the lockscreen. That way pressing the volume button would turn the screen on. This "trick" worked quite fine until yesterday, when the phone shut off, I don't know why (maybe the battery went out?). I tried to turn it on again, but there was no sign of life whatsoever. Not even volumeup+power button produced any effect. I then read on this forum and it looked like the motherboard is gone. Thinking that the phone was gone, I searched a way to recover photos and text messages from the phone(always remember to set a periodic backup). After a couple hours of pointless research, I gave up and went to sleep. I turned off the lights and I saw a flash. It was the Nexus S. So I filmed it and uploaded to youtube. Here's the link: http: // youtu.be/oGSVjElAwq0 (remove spaces) You can see the screen blinking a couple times(around 0:07 and 0:27). Maybe the phone is not completely dead and there is a way to recover that files or even save the device. Unfortunately I'm not expert, so I don't know how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. A big thanks in advance.

Hi, please try to answer these questions. Might help solve your problem.
When you plug the phone in, do the capacitive buttons light up?
Does your phone get recognized on your PC when you plug it in via usb?
Are you 100% sure this is not just a battery issue?
Hi, thanks for your time
-No, the buttons do not light up.
-No, the phone does not get recognized by the computer(i tried Windows and Ubuntu)
-I can't exclude a battery problem, but ,even that, it should power up when connected, shouldn't it?
I wanted to solve this problem on my own but after almost 6 hours I just can't figure it out. Its either totally bricked or I'm just missing something simple. I've seen many people complain about this problem but none of them seem to have had the same problem I do. Thing is I was just really starting to love the way I had the phone set up. DAMN!
I used this thread to root: (CF)

SPRINT GALAXY S5 SPORT SM-G860P
Android 4.4
I had CW recovery installed
(wish I had more info about the software)
Here's whats happening:
START
(vibrate)
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
(Also on Screen are the logos)
Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport
Powered by Android
This stays on for about 10 seconds.
Then blank screen (2 seconds)
(vibrate)
Screen still blank (2 seconds)
REPEAT (Auto reboot and goes back to start)
Other notes:
Trying to boot into recovery (home+vol up+power) Nothing Happens
Try to power off and nothing happens.
Pulled battery, did the 30 sec and restarted no change.
I have all updated usb drivers.
Odin will not see the device because its not on long enough. (Kies didn't see it either.)
Plug into PC via usb - Nothing Happens, device doesn't even show up because its not on long enough (win 8.1 and 7)
Pull battery to get it to stop, once battery goes back in, it auto starts again.
I TRIED AS MANY SD CARD / BATTERY/USB CABLE/POWER CABLE/BATTERY PULL/BUTTON COMBINATIONS AS I COULD FIND ONLINE AND THEN SOME. No Luck with anything.
I know this isn't a "help desk" I just wanted to give as much info as possible hoping to help you help me!
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Try to hard-reset your phone. There is a button combination for that., search it over the internet.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately the hard reset combo does nothing. I've tried every button combination that I have been able to find with no luck. Factory reset, hard reset, etc. etc. no luck. I've also searched for a possible "hidden" button underneath the back cover or something of the like...nothing.
hmmmm
At least, it is not hard-bricked. So there is hope.
Have you checked if it is entering the download mode? If not, then try it. You can use this mode to flash file via the PC.
Check this link
It worked! Obviously I didn't search or try as many things as I thought I did. : / I can't thank you enough! wow. Amazing!

Hello there,i am new out here and my native language isn't english so i am saying sorry by now.
My A7 2018 rested on my desk,with 10% battery,and suddently the phone shuts down.It has happened to me before,but somehow i was able to turn it on and didnt have problems since.
Sometimes the phone's battery ran out fast when it was like 30%.
I plugged in the charging cable and it showed me a charging-logo-like thing but i cannot post any links here since i am new.
I thought i drained out the phone's battery and i let it rest and charge for like 30 minutes.
I did a force boot thing where u hold the down and power buttons for 20 seconds but nothing happened.
Sometimes the phone turned on but closed back on at the booting where it showed powered by android.
I plugged in the phone into my computer and into device manager at other devices it showed me exynos7885.Usb debugging is off if that helps.
I called samsung support and they have told me to bring it in for warranty at my phone carrier where i brought it from but i can't bring it in because it is scrached and the camera back glass is cracked so it dosent meets the requirements for my warranty.
I have all my photos,phone numbers,conversations and passwords on it so please help because i didn't back them up!!!(lesson learned)
Please help!!!!
Try reflash stock rom with odin. As you cant get into download mode. You may have to use fastboot to boot into download mode.
its so easy, go to odin mode and make sure that you've already downloaded the stock rom and use odin for flashing. If you dont know how to use just search it on youtube or here in xda for guide.
