I know this had been posted all over this forum but I can't for the love of me find a way solve this. By phone won't boot, nothing comes up in the screen everything is black. This happened while trying to do the 3 button fix.
This is what I have tried so far:
All the possible combinations of buttons
Trying to get it to connect with adb on 3 different computers
Tried to see if the usb connection was read by the linux kernel
And nothing...
At this point the only thing I haven't tried is the Jig method that I will try tomorrow. Aside from this is there anything else before having to go to ATT and beg for a new one?
Thanks in advance
Additional Info:
I was running Serendipity 5.10 with the kernel included
Some people have had success getting back into download mode by removing the battery for 30 seconds to a minute then plugging in the USB cable, holding the volume buttons and (continuing to hold the buttons) inserting the battery.

I had the same experience last week. Took several tries, but I finally got back in and flashed a new ROM onto it.
The three button fix requires you to flash a new sbl, right? Chances are pretty high that you permanently bricked your phone and a jig won't do you any good. If the jig doesn't work (and I don't expect it to), you have one of two choices: Buy a riff box and revive your phone by taking out the motherboard and connecting it to the riff box, or mail it back to Samsung and have them do it for you.
Note that using the riff box will definitely void your warranty and Samsung will be able to tell that you took it apart in the event that you eventually send it back to them. Custom roms and bricking supposedly void your warranty, but if you're clever enough over the phone, they'll be none the wiser. Especially in your situation, where the phone doesn't do anything when the power button is pressed.
Thanks to all for your help and will update this thread on what happens for future reference. The jig did not work so the next step is to go beg at an AT&T store for a new phone... Here goes nothing.

Just tell them the official 2.2 update did it. "My phone turned off by itself while I was trying to do the update through kies".
Also, if you deal with Samsung directly, they'll mail you back the same phone, so if you got one of the lucky ones with a functioning GPS, you might want to hang on to it by dealing with Samsung instead of ATT.
I took out the SIM, and battery for more than 30 seconds, enter recovery using 3 button mode, open ODIN, attach cable and flash to Eclair...worked fine. Installed SIM after everything worked.
As modest_android pointed out nothing at this point works. I managed to get a hold of AT&T yesterday and they'll send me a new phone overnight.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Yesterday, my brother was updating Android OTA on his HTC Desire S. During the installation, he got impatient and wanted to abort the update. Because he couldn't find a cancel button, he decided to remove the battery. This indeed aborted the update but left him with a phone without a properly installed OS.
The phone doesn't boot up anymore. In fact, it doesn't respond at all. Not even if I try a hard reset (volume down + power button).
Is there something left to try?
Oops Not the wisest course of action by your bro there.
Am I correct in assuming that you mean from a powered-off state, holding the Vol- key and pressing the power button doesn't do anything?
If you connect the phone to the mains charger, do you get the charging light appear on the phone still?
I guess the biggest question here would be - was this an unmodified phone (i.e. not been 'S-Offed', rooted etc? If so then you may find the best course of action is to return it for official repair - if he's not had it very long then take it back to the shop he bought it from, otherwise go through the Mobile Phone Network's helpline for it to be repaired. Just tell them that it was doing an OTA and failed - don't mention getting impatient though.

No, it doesn't respond to the charger or the USB cable.

Here's the catch, he got the phone second-hand from a friend abroad who had it lying around. Therefore, going back to the shop isn't really an option.
I guess he permanently bricked his phone then?
I would suspect that, if it's not even responding to a mains charger, that it is toast - but maybe somebody can correct me on this?
Ok so the phone is dead it won't turn on it doesn't even want to do the volume up thing nore the volume down cwm mode all i can make it do is connect its omap4430 driver on my old xp machine but it flashes on and off doesn't stay on is there a solution or should i just call lg monday and have them fix it...
Have you tried recovery through LG official programme because that's what I did and it worked brilliantly. I was in the same position yesterday!

My phone is useless it doesnt turn on and i cannot get it to connect on my pc i can only connect it via the omap4430 driver but that keeps conecting and disconecting all the time.. So when i connect it ti the LG's Official program it says no device found and won't continue i think i have managed to brick it will think twice before using cm7 next time....
lg
its worth keep trying cos I did just the same yesterday. I had to uninstall all the LG stuff completely. I then installed it again from scratch (making sure I didn't have that roll back to version 8 fix running). I downloaded the driver with no phone plugged in. I had to plug my LG in with no battery and plugged in whilst holding vol up and power button (it still wasn't detected). Although no driver came up, when I used the recover phone emergency facility in LG it asked me for the IMEI number. I typed it in and it then found the phone and I was able to recover completely. Sorry if you've done all this already but I had lots of gos and it finally worked as I have just stated. I hope this is of some help to you, I'm not an expert but it worked for me.

Oh cuz i was trying on my win 7 with no luck i need to get my other pc out then dammit.. thanks..
One time i connected it it said downloading and it lasted a minute and a half before it said fatal error...
Once again, had a quick look through the forum and you can definitely resurrect your phone like this, the pc does not need to see a driver the lg software recovery package will pick it up. Let me know if you have any problems.

if you can't go to recovery then the phone needs to be sent to LG unfortunately,
couple other users had the same issue and they had to send the phone for service.
so i tried what you said but still the phone is not working i will keep trying thanks for all ur help and baracuda looks like thats what i will have to do now since its not working...
Broken power button maybe?...
My power button died - without that button working you can't power up the phone, go to recovery or connect to PC with LG software.
Does your phone light up when plugging into charger? If it does but doesn't actually boot...you may have a faulty and/or broken power button.
If you are in Australia, Evertec (VIC) do the repairs - including postage it took 5 working days to be repaired

The power button is fine cuz when i hold power and vol up it tries to connect itself via its omap4430 driver if the power button was broken it wouldn't do that i just know i bricked it when i replaced my card from a 16gb to 32 gb i tried putting my card back still it won't turn on.. I was using cm 7 when i changed cards...
My phone was running on stock 2.2 Froyo ROM. I first flashed it with CM7 Alpha 8 which is under development. It has some issues so flashed it with Kyrillos ROM based on 2.3. Was still not satisfied so tried going back to stock. downloaded the firmware from Samfirmware.com and started flashing with ODIN 1.81. After the downloading part, the phone switched off and never started. I think i might have flashed the bootloader which i shouldnt have and so my phone is not starting. On pressing power, Powe +home+down or Up button, nothing happens.No lights, no display, no sound.
What all things i have tried:
1. Tried charging the battery for 8 hours and then pressing power button. No go.
2. Power + home + volume down. No go
3. Power + Home + volume up. No go
4. connected the phone to usb without battery. while holding power + home + volume down key, reinsterted the battery. phone does not get detected on computer/odin.
I am pretty sure its a hard brick. If i give it to samsung, they will charge a bomb for motherboard replacement. I need to find a shop in mumbai with JTAG (its a device which can put the bootloader directly on to the processor). After some research i found this address:
Wonder Gallery
Manish Market, 1st Floor,
Shop Number No.27, Palton Road,
Mumbai 40001
Does anyone live or work nearby and can give me this guy's number? i want to confirm before i make a trip (i stay 100 Kms from mumbai). Anybody is vashi does a similar job?
Actually boot loader is a very small file and if flashing is completed then it might not be a brick. Are you sure your battery is charged. I saw in Motorola forums that after a hard brick the device will switch on but show a white screen or something
Edit :Sorry I just saw that battery is not the problem
Anyways did Odin show whether flash was successful or not?

I think its a hard brick because files on samfirwire contain bootloaders and you hav messed it.
And as for JTAG,i think ebay or other similar websites should help.
And for the address call just dial,they might have the contact information of the person u mentioned.
Hope this helped
Sorry to break your hopes mate, but a massive fire had broken out at the place you mentioned a few months back. Although most of the restoration work has been done, still I highly doubt that the shops would be up and running so soon! Anyhow, just check with them once before planning your travel.

If you have a paypal account try ebay. Search for USB JIG. It may help you, give it a try. Its not expensive (about 3 pounds). If you are interested tell me to search a good one for you.

^Even I was searching for the same on eBay India some time back, but couldn't find a single one compatible with our device. All of them were for Galaxy S series devices.
So if am not asking for too much, could you kindly share the link over here (the 3 pound one)?

Isnt this jig meant for people who have a soft brick, i mean they have a PC-exclamation-mobile icon on screen? Mine does not even switch on.

Tried it, not working
hard luck if hard bricked
if your phone is hard bricked.. jtaging may get you into download mode, but, there also chances that it might lose its imei number after jtaging... my suggestion would be sell it off for parts .. and buy a new one.. that will easier.. repairing it will just keep on losing your money for repairs..... just buy a new and cheaper one like samsung galaxy Y .... it less of a headache... besides android phones are getting cheaper now-a - days....

Does anyone know how to turn on the Nexus 5? Today I found the phone turned off automatically. The last time I used it was half hour before I found it was off. I know it had enough battery. I tried power on more than 10 sec. I tried power + both volume buttons, I tried power + one volume button. I tried charging it. None of them works. It just stopped working after worked for me for 4 months.I haven't rooted or installed other ROM. I didn't install to much Apps also. Before this trouble, the phone works perfectly. But now it doesn't give me any response without any reason.

As you tried holding the power button for about 10-20 seconds you can try to connect the phone to a charger to see if you see a charging animation. Can you get into bootloader (volume down and power)? Try charging the phone a little longer (1 hour or more). If nothing works all you can do is RMA or send it in for repair.

Thank you for your reply! I charged it the whole night. But it still didn't give me any response this morning. I cannot see any animation when I charged it. I cannot find any device when I connected it to the computer. I tried to get into bootloader (volume down and power), but no response either.

Only the original owner (your friend) can claim warranty and only in the country where the phone was bought. You`ll have to send it to the US. You can also send it to a local LG repair centre but you`ll have to pay for it yourself most likely.

I heart from my friend that the Nexus 5 have the charging problem. I realize that the day, before I my phone was dead, was the first time it ran out of the power. I mean one day before, I used the phone to 0% and then turned off automatically. But after that, I managed to charge it and turned on. And the second day the phone stopped working...
Does anyone have new idea to solve the problem?

You might also want to try turning it on underneath a bright light. For example, turn on a desk lamp, and point it right at the top of the phone while you try to turn it on.
I know that sounds like an odd suggestion, but it's worth a shot. People were having a similar issue with the HTC One, and it turned out to be because of a built-in pocket mode that tried to use the light sensor to prevent it from turning on in a pocket or bag. Sometimes, it would bug out and only work in the face of a really bright light. Obviously, it was most prevalent in the HTC One because that was built in, but it happens in other phones when you use apps that have a similar function, such as AcDisplay and such.
Go to the Recovery -> wipe data

Hi gee2012,
I almost give up and plan to send to phone back to US. Now I find I can hear the current sound from the top part of the phone when ever I press the power button, or when the phone is connected to the charger.
If the phone is not connected to the charger, the current sound with disappear after around 15 seconds even I hold the power button.
Does that mean something? I think at least it means the phone does have power in the battery.
I tried to connect the phone to the computer, but I cannot find any device related to the phone.

JUST SEND IT BACK. The longer you try to "fix it" the longer you're gonna be without a functioning phone. I know it's frustrating and you wanna fix it, but honestly it really sounds like it's dead. Just send it back to your friend and let him RMA it.
