Dead phone, only vibrations - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone was normal throughout the day and when I woke up the screen a few minutes back, the phone was literally dead.
I pressed and hold the power button for 20s and all I got was the vibration. Tried both the buttons combination of power + volume up/ down and all I get was vibration only. I plugged the phone into the charger and nothing came on the screen of the phone as well.
Any ideas? Phone was at 70%+ when this happen

@Heisenberg any ideas?

Not right now, it's late here so I have to get to bed soon.

I think those are both the same procedure from @netbuzz his post.

Got the phone up and running, finally!
Just for your to take note, the guide doesn't work for users using Windows 10. Win10 will not be able to detect the device at all in device manager. Had to downgrade back to Win7 just to get things up and running again...

Soft Brick, Read Soft Brick Threads

I've read all the soft brick threads I could get my hands on. If I missed something, I'm sorry for that in advanced.
Symptoms: When power button held down, "Samsung" appears in white, then switches to the blue glowing "Samsung" won't turn off unless I pull the battery. I cannot access the download menu.
What the [email protected]%$ did I do?: I was following the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28350575&postcount=1 and I finished step 6 and started step 7. On step 7 it wiped the data but froze on the cache. After 2 hours of waiting for it to clear I tried a hard reset and hear I am.
Any ideas to try and fix this? Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Ok but what version?
I am only aware of one version of CWM that works correctly and that's 5.8.1.3. Lots of recoveries seem to have issues wiping the cache which results in soft brick issues.
Follow these steps:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/touch-clockworkmod-recovery-for-rogers-and-att-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
Then try wiping your cache again, and reboot. If all is well, then re-try the steps to flash Embryo.
Power button isn't stuck.
Sorry, I couldn't access and so don't know what version of cwm but that did look familiar. Was trying Touch Recovery. I'll follow the steps on the link.
That fixed it perfectly. Thank you for your assistance.
Any idea why it wouldn't let me go into the download menu before?

Great, good to hear it's sorted out.
By download menu are you referring to Download mode used with Odin, or recovery menu?
The phone can be finicky with getting into recovery sometimes, I find this exact sequence of steps to always work:
Hold down vol+ and vol-
Hold down power
Wait for phone to vibrate once every 2 seconds
Release power, continue holding vol+ and vol-
Recovery should load.
Otherwise, I have no idea.

No idea on the download mode thing.
Glad to help.
Edit: How did you get into download mode to flash touch CWM 5.8.1.3 if download mode wasn't working? It sounded to me like the phone was bootlooping/locking up due to cache issues. As far as I know download mode can only be accessed starting from a state of OFF and not mid boot if that's what you were trying?

Ahh, live and learn... I had similar issues when I first got this phone and it took me a while to sort it all out. Was extremely happy once I finally got ICS flashed and working though, and now I am a flashaholic.

I've learned quite a bit just by reading development threads for various roms and trying them out, and reading the Q&A forum to see what issues people are having. But there is a lot to learn, I haven't tried any development as of yet..
For the most part just follow steps in the ROM threads verbatim and you should not have too many issues, now that you have a working recovery that is.
Yea, I should do some more reading on here. I love learning this new stuff anyway. I've gotta get to work but thank you for your help. let me know if there are any threads that you found particularly helpful besides the basics. Good night.

Bricked? Please help, phone barely boots... Wifes phone and she is ticked

Some background... The whole reason I was rooting this phone was the volume button was malfunctioning... constantly pressing up. I used the hack-ace tool linked somewhere else and followed the directions. At one point during the install the phone went black and the red light began to blink... in command prompt window it just said waiting for device for a long time. Now all it will do it go into the clockworkmod recovery screen. If I try to restart hack ace it says the sd card is either not mounted or corrupted. Any help?!? this is my wifes phone so I need to fix it fast!

When did you use AAHK? It has recently been retired and the files it needs are gone, so using it now can get you stuck. If you have CWM the phone was either S-Off or bootloader-unlocked at some point. Which is it?

Thanks so much for the quick reply! IT had no rooting done before today, it had gotten a little ways into the rooting before it quit... That must be how CWM is on there. It had gotten to the point of HBoot being installed when it quit.

What does hboot say? In case you don't know how to get there, reboot holding power and volume-down.

The only thing I can get into is CWM, and it is tricky getting it to run... I think it quit before loading HBoot... TO do that I have to pull the battery and have it hooked up by USB, then turn it on.

Okay, I have the adb installed and went through the process of connecting my inspire with the adb. A serial number came up so assume all is not lost because it installed the drivers for this device.
Where shall I go from here? Once again I can't say thanks enough...
Connect your phone and type adb devices. If it finds a device, type adb reboot bootloader. What does it say?

Thanks for your time last week on this, today the phone booted up with one press of the power button. No idea what happened but whatever glitch there was... it appears to have worked itself out.
Go there and get it set up properly anyway. That should have never happened.

Nexus 5 Will Not Power On, Possibly Hard Bricked?

First of all-mods, feel free to move this if it needs to go somewhere else.
Anyway, I just flashed Cyanogenmod 11, after rebooting from recovery after flashing the zip, I get nothing but a black screen. Now here's the odd part- it is recognized by Windows when plugged in as "LG Android USB Device." I have tried everything to hard reset it but nothing works. My gut feeling tells me its hard-bricked but just figured I'd see what everyone thinks. Any input is appreciated!
Can you get into fastboot? Or recovery?

No matter what i do, nothing shows on the screen, so no. Oddly,when its plugged into my computer, Windows makes noises when it connects and disconnects.
Problem resolved. Finally after hours of trying to hard reset it, it has booted into the bootloader. Back to stock Android we go!

Help! Unable to use Tablet after trying to integrate updates to ROM using Titanium

Hello all,
I recently installed Titanium PRO on my nVidia Shield Tablet Wifi-NA. I tried to integrate app updates into the ROM. But it somehow didn't go as planned. Since the failed attempt, I have been continuously getting error messages that my Google Plus, Google Keyboard and Google Play Services have stopped functioning. Each time I dismiss the error, I get it again. Unable to do anything. Is there any way I can fix this? I don't mind having to flash the ROM all over again, but need assistance to do this.... Please help!!!
Thanks!

Well, I guess the best is to flash stock rom with fastboot...
Is there anyone on the forums here who has a tutorial for this? I've done flashing before but I'm kinda nervous and want to get it done right...
Yup, there is one in the shield tablet general forum.

Yeah, seems to be a bit of a mix-up there, but the principle stays the same, if you use the sw method it should work fine.

Sounds like the phone is soft bricked. If so, you might want to try using the USB jigs that can be found on ebay for around $5. I'm not sure if they'll work.
Here's some example videos on usb jig:
