I was just using my phone earlier today when I received a call and a text and another call at the same time in perfect timing, then the phone went black and hasn't shown any life since then.. I understand this is the Sudden Death Syndrome with the galaxy. What do I need to do to get that bootloader put onto my sd card and see if it can write the emmc at all? I also have veteran soldering skills, I can swap the emmc chip like a piece of cake if needed. Just wondering what I need to do to make my phone run again, thanks!
Hi,
This is definitely an issue to ask fellow device owners about...

Was trying to root my phone following thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 guide, got through the bootloader okay, then when I went to restart my phone to start 2. Installing a Custom Recovery, now it won't turn on. Did I **** it up? It won't turn on at all, nothing happens when I press the power button, pc won't recognize it, no response from wall outlet. Worst of all, I bought it from someone on craigslist, got a t-mobile chip, was just messing around with it, now this. Do I have any options at all? I'm assuming there will be no warrenty from Oneplus one, any way to send it in for repairs at a cost?
Welcome to the forums! I remember being one of the people guiding you here on the OnePlus forums. You'll get better help and support if you ask questions relating to troubleshooting in the "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" sub-forum next time. @Naddict, can you please move this question so the OP can get better help?
EDIT: I see your problem has been sorted out. Do you mind sharing what you did so that other members here can use your solution for future problems?
Specifically I have a Note II that's dead, but I guess any general Android troubleshooting would be welcome.
We took it to a battery place that confirms the battery is okay (which also kinda rules out the charging port being the issue). The place also let us try a brand new battery to no avail.
I've never rooted the phone so the culprit isn't a bad ROM (a lot of troubleshooting articles come from the perspective of a bricked phone due to bad kernel).
Phone just is completely non-responsive. Straight-up hardware failure?
The almost-too-fantastical coincidence is that it happened on exactly the same day I received my new Nexus 6P and finished configuring it. I wondered if it was some kind of carrier-induced bricking process but I don't think that's the case. My account is still active with the previous carrier and they confirmed everything is cool on their end.

Hi there,
I'm really desperate for some help. bit of an odd situation.
In august last year my mum committed suicide, I have recently got her things back and I am trying to access the data on her phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but the problem I'm having is it has a broken screen, also does not have USB Debugging switched on.
The police claimed they needed all her electricals to check for evidence, which is why they needed to keep it for nearly 4 months, however I dont believe they have in fact even checked the phone.
I really want to be able to access the text messages, so I can see if there was any indication prior to her death.
Please help if you can
Thank you
Milo

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Depending on how badly the screen is broken you might be able to connect a mouse to it via an OTG cable. If that doesn't work the best place to ask this is in > Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105 > Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Experts there may be able to help you.
Good luck
Right I'll start off by saying I'm a noob, like a really nooby noob, but, I can learn and learn quick, here's my predicament, I bought a phone off a guy (how many times has this scenario played out) and it turns out to be an s7 clone... mmb29k.g935fxxu1apava ...now it's not a bad phone, I've had worse and I don't need them to do much...but this phone has me so frustrated it's unreal, now I know "**** one Mick, you got caught lovely" but as a logical thinker, it still has the general workings of a ****in' fantastic phone, excuse the language, so I'm on here to see if anyone can help me make it good or point me in the direction to learn from scratch how to do it myself, maybe not exactly designing my own ROM yet, as I haven't a clue about any of it, but at least getting workable ROMs already created and loading them onto it. I've tried the s7 version of some fire type ROM but when I downloaded and prepped all the required files etc, I went to the boot screen and selected the correct file from sd card just like the video (which I must point out there were vast differences in the boot screen) anyway, the ROM started then abandoned, I tried again a few times but same result, I then wiped and reset factory settings and tried again...still nothing, so I set off on a mini-mission and ended up here having found out at least that the phone IS a clone, what type of clone and also the specs on it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Pardon the language and apologies for the the rambling.

P.s already rooted phone, modded the theme etc...not a fan, as I said phones are basically a communication device for me and a boredom killer if I have an hour or so with nothing to do and nothing bar my phone/web to entertain me.
I seek only speed, storage space and battery life.

I posted this on the Sprint S6 forum, but thought it may be able to get more attention here. My father smashed his phone. I was wondering if anyone new of a company that can retrieve pictures with a Riff Box or similar without the phone booting.
Thanks.
