Samsung i780 - BRICKED IT :( :( :(

I've BRICKED my device
All of a sudden, when the device was connected to the charger and was in standby, I tried to power it up....and it wouldnt turn on. I pulled the charger cable out....the LED was still glowing. I pulled the battery and put it back in.....and that was it. Completely dead....no response
Plugging in the power, switching batteries (fully charged), pressing all buttons, hard reset/emergency mode key combos, punching the reset hole a million times, pulling the batteries in/out with the charger in/out....all sorts of crap tried. Even the power LED doesn't glow when the charger is connected. NO sign of life from the PDA in ANY form. Completely dead = paper weight. Also tried holding the power button for over a minute or two...nothing happens. Also tried using Mirage and pluggin it in....doesn't detect anything.
Now I need some help guys -
1. My i780 is just 2 weeks old. Will my warranty be void if Samsung finds some other rom? If so, how do they process this? Can they fix and I pay for support?
2. If the device doesn't power up, they anyway cant figure what rom's in there...so i should technically qualify for a replacement....am i right?
3. Anyone here have bricked and dealt with samsung service? your experience?
4. Any other ideas on what i could do to unbrick?
Thanks....sucks guys

Shame to hear that
Have you tried to ask in off topic in thread regardnig samsung?
Good luck,

Hey orb!
I guess mine's a total brick here....looks more like a hardware failure. I plug the charger in, the LED doesn't glow....nothing happens no matter what i do. Its just a dead chunk of plastic at the moment. Guess its going back to the service center.
You'll be happy about this though.......i'm back on my trusty universal once again! It still is simply the best device out there! Only gripe is that it runs on just 64megs ram.
Cheers

is that able to flash rom or enter emergency mode ?
i guess may be rom problem ,
i780 propably will like this if you are using the oldest rom ~

Need help with HTC Sensation, changed main motherboard....

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to fix an HTC Sensation for a friend. The original problem was a faulty charge port. I tried replacing the port via heat swap but ended up burning the board. So, I changed the whole motherboard. After assembling everything back, I connect a USB charger and eventually the a green LED light shows. I then hold down the power button and let go, I only a get brief vibration and that's it - no display. I connect to my desktop PC and under Device Manager it detects it as a general HTC device.
I asked my friend if the LCD had any issues before, she said it was fine. I also checked the connections between the board and LCD, reseated many times.
Could anyone give me any other possible issues before I consider swapping the LCD assembly?
Thanks.

remove battery reinsert it
press + hold power button and volume down until it gets you to the bootloader screen
after that choose fastboot->reboot

[Q] My new Lenovo A850+ Andro 4.4 Octa does not start :(

Hi guys,
1:
2 weeks ago I ordered this:
Original Lenovo A850+ s MTK6592 Octa Core 1.9Ghz 2GB RAM 5.5'' 1920x1080px 13MP dual SIM Android 4.4 mobile phone free shipping
aliexpress/snapshot/6095479197.html
My happiness was short.
After I connected the phone to USB and noticed battery at 78% I tried to start my phone.
So I pressed Power on, wait, wait...wait..nothing. Nothing for 4 hours of frustration.
I connected it to my PC and for a few seconds MT65xx preloader appeared. I managed to install USB drivers, hoping to
get my hands on this phone other way than by powering it on by a button.
Unfortunately nothing works beside short battery status on the screen of this phone after I connect it to PC or a charger.
The battery is at 100% but the phone never starts.
Has anyone seen something like this?
Is it possible to bring this phone to life or should I forget about it and throw it to the trash bin?
2:
When I connected my phone to charge it and it showed the percentage for a moment, it never reacted to any button to turn on the LCD again
and show battery status. Looks somehow to me like power on button is damaged/not connected internally or whatever.
3:
I also wonder if it is really 1080p ips screen. From battery status its hard to tell. They claim its 1080p. Possible?
Cheers

your phone is original phone or clone phone? A850+ has only 1gb ram http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/e3a02b7a

@ aroPL:
If you bought it from AliExpress with those specs, it is obviously a clone.
Genuine A850+ does not have these specs, not even 4.4, only 4.2.

It is a clone with upgraded specs.
I managed to get into "factory mode" but no key works to set some chinese test or reset it.
Held power for long on each item, but still without success.
Anyone has an idea what combination of buttons works in factory mode to select
menu item? Volume up/down works as item change. Where is "enter" ?

At this moment I am convinced that Power On button is faulty. Does not work at all.
I connect this phone to PC via USB, hold Volume Up or Down, different recovery/boot menus appear.
I can navigate through them, but confirmation with Power On does not work.
It seems the reason this phone does not work is trivial - power on button.

Sorry, but your phone is a clone, not is a original Lenovo a850+, the original have android 4.2, the processor is 1.4 or 1.7 not 1.9, sorry!

I have no experience with A850+, but surely I (may) know what you are facing.
I will try solving your prob via theory. Satisfaction not guaranteed.
FIRST THING FIRST...
-You stated that you charged your phone till 100%. I assume you saw a big blue battery icon on screen. Did you press the power button while it's plugged? If no reaction, probability of ONE that your hardware buttons dead and you have to go to the phone dealer...
...oh wait, you ordered it online.....uh
Sorry to say that you are officially a victim of mobile phone fraud. And I assume that site, or vendor, or host is CHINESE, the country that's nothing original.
If that's the case even Obama can't help you. I'm very sorry and I know your feelings.
Looking forward to your reply if something works.

Z5 dead

Hi all,
first of all I want to thank the community. I read a lot of threads about Smartphones and helped me a lot.
I bought a Z5 from the Internet with lcd cracked , so I replaced the LCD and than the problems began. Because i bought it on the Internet I don´t know the previous History of the phone. LCD is working fine because it was testet.
Z5 turn on with 1x vibration no screen and NO LED while charging
Flashmode and Fastboot mode works but discontiuned always
Press the yellow button on the sim tray it vibrates 3x
I let it charge for 5h NO led but could flash a .tft with flashtool - no success, after than I tried to repair with sony companion - no succeess. Bootloader is locked. I have the key to unlock, but failed "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
I let it charge for 12 hours, no led again.
There is a sort of life in the mainboard because it vibrates and can get fastboot and flashmode, but no screen no led while charging
Anyone had similar Problems?
Any Ideas?

You could try replacing the battery. Were you able to do any overall functionality check on the device before working on it? See any corrosion on the logic or water damage indicators tripped? What did you do to test the LCD?

I went to a repair shop and they said the motherboard is defect, and they only test the lcd, battery is ok he said, but I don´t trust this guy because he ripped the microphone flex cable and told me that I was it. I am sure I didn´t ripped the flex cable.
The Device was opened before me and I guess they messed something up.
Where are the water damage indicators located?
Yesterday I flashed twice succesfully with flashtool but no LED while charging and no screen
This is so mysteriously..

since u bought it online having cracked screen , you should consider following possibilities
1. how did it crack? by dropping from height etc
2. if yes then the damage was far deeper than just cracked screen
3. if no then atleast the device seems already bricked and its stuck thats why no fastboot is working!
4. try pressing power key and volum up for 15 seconds the device should VIBRATE 3 times, while on second time vibrating, RELEASE BOTH FINGERS IMMEDIATEL. this should switch of the device., NOW try connecting in flashmode. should work thou
5. if all fails then i suspect that the shock what broke screen actually hurt mother board also. and repairing the device will cost you new Xperia XZ

i recently got a bricked htc e9pw from the internet, but i got some problem

i am a noob in the field of flashing phones, but i want to improve myself ,so i bought a bricked htc e9pw online. the phone was first sold in taiwan. the situation of the phone is: i can't boot into neither download mode nor recovery. it only viberates when i long press the power button. when it connects to a power supply, it only shows out a charging battery logo without percentage on it.
i am wondering if anyone here can help me.
