[Q] SGS I9001 constant restart [READ INFO]

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!

Weird problem with Nexus S...is it dead?

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?

[Completed] Screen shows that battery is drained but phone only vibrates when charging (LG L70)

So I had storage issues and I had to do a factory reset because apps were crashing due to lack of storage space. Did a factory reset everything went well, rooted my phone checked with root checker everything was fine. Then I decided to install Cyanogenmod 13 so I had to unlock bootloader. Tried to do that and I had some problems with that (pc didn't recognize my phone). After several tries I restarted my phone and then he just started vibrating with black screen. Tried everything cleaning the power button smacking the phone a bit etc. nothing worked. Left the phone vibrating until battery drained. Plugged it in and it just started vibrating all over again. When I hold power and volume up phone stops vibrating for a few seconds and the it starts again. When I plug it in without the battery screen shows battery missing message so I don't it's a screen issue. I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!

[Completed] Recover files and pictures with a black screen

Hi,
Yesterday my xperia Z1 compact's screen turned black for several hours during the day. It died about 4 times. I managed to restart it by the small red button at the simslot.
But today all I see is a black screen, and I cant open anything, cant recover anything. Nothing I do seems to work. I tried everything, restarting with the red button, homebutton + volume... nothing!!
I'm so desperate and about to cry because I have pictures of me and my wife on my phone who passed away 4 months ago. I really need those pictures but cant see or do anything because of the black/dead screen.
Please, someone, please help me, what can I do??

Greetings and welcome to assist. Does your pc still recognise your phone ? if it does you should be able to get them that way. You should be able to use adb if nothing else.
If you ask your question here

I'm sure the experts there will help you recover your device
Good Luck

Xperia M2 D2303 - Sony splash screen, boot looping.

Hi,
My son has a Sony Xperia M2 D2303, which appears to have carried out a firmware update, although he hadn't seen any messages relating to updates.
He said the phone was just running slow and rebooting.
By the time I got to see it, it was just showing "optimisation application # of #". This then finished and went through the First-time boot-up sequence, which didn't seem to complete, but now, all I get is the following:
Plugging in the USB lead to the computer, the Sony splash screen is displayed, the red LED lit and the battery charge graphic, now showing 81%.
Switching on the phone, just gets the Sony splash screen, boot looping.
I seem to be getting the expected behaviour with the use of the buttons on boot-up, but nothing else:
Power button pressed and holding volume - and +, as well as - and + no their own.
I get the blue LED and also green and red briefly, but still not detecting.
The computer does not recognise the phone in Device Manager at all and neither does Xperia Companion (Xperia Software Repair), or Flashtool and updating the drivers. I've also tried about 4 USB leads.
I would appreciate any help or ideas.
