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 ~

Take out the battery for a few seconds and put it back; then while holding Volume UP (+) press the Power Button.
See what happens...

Nothing. Happens it don't light up or power on at all. It is not reconized on computer either. It's hard bricked.
Make sure the Battery is charging...
How can I make sure the battery is charging when no lights come on at all? All I do know is I had it plugged in for a while yesterday and it got really warm. But no lights whatsoever. The screen doesn't light up at all neither does the led.
??????
There are no notification lights on the D720, but when you plug it in with a charger, you should see a battery bar on the display.
Other than that, you are probably right about hard-brick.
I, luckily, never had a "brick" on the Nexus S, so someone else with experience may wanna chime in. But Google and YouTube are your friends.
Sorry...

Please help me, i have the same problem
been awhile since any action here. saved mine with JIG method once but this time it won't work ??!(why) , in search of a solution again! -> hardbrick #2 on this device!
You guys can try a USB Jig. If that does not help, I think JTAG is what you need.
Jesus... just to revive this thread (and this concept of hard bricking), I think I just accidentally bricked mine as well.
Here's exactly what I did:
One moment, it was working spectacularly - fully stock, but unlocked. I had just listed it on eBay, too.
So I ran a factory reset on it (from the Settings menu), also "erase USB storage".
Then, after it shut down for the reboot, I pulled the battery.
...
That was it. Now it doesn't turn on for anything whatsoever. No device detected on USB when plugged into PC. Remove, replace battery, hold VolUp+Power, nothing. Plug into power adapter, nothing. Nothing at all.
But the back does get lukewarm after a minute or so, as if it's alive in the head but frozen, unable to start the bootloader.
WTF? I also have 2 more of these Nexus S 4G's, and both of them seem to have Flash storage chips that exhibit the same behavior when their chips are placed in (this) working motherboard. They can't boot. When I try to "hot-flash" it by booting the bootloader then swapping the Flash chips, they can't flash anything (this is probably to be expected). So, if I can get my ONCE-WORKING phone back to life, there's a good chance I can get another working as well (one just has a cracked glass, otherwise working mainboard & peripherals).
It's old, yes, but it's a damn shame to E-waste these things for a stupid software problem like this!
Hey guys,
Gave my friend my HTC ONE X to use hes gave it back to me a while later saying it no longer turns on. Ive been trying to trouble shoot but have had no luck. When plugged into any power source wall or pc it wont give the led that indicates charging. I have tried with multiple chargers and cables. The device cannot be hard or soft reset because the volume buttons dont work. Instead i have taken the phone apart and manually unplugged the battery but still nothing. It has been charging for days and nothing has changed. The only positive sign is that when i plug it into my pc it is detected but windows gives me a pop up saying the device has malfunctioned.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Device is bootloader unlocked S-off rooted running TWRP and Venom rom
It looks like your friend might have bricked your phone. When the PC can recognise it, does it show up as QHSUSB_DLOAD device?

It shows up as an unknown device. I don't think he did anything with the software im more leaning towards a battery issue.
Ok. Leave the phone connected to a wall charger for at least eight hours then try turning it on. You might need to hold down the power button or hold power + volume down for it to power on. Try these before and after disconnecting it from the wall outlet.

I've had it on the charger for a couple days i cant get it to turn on. The volume button rocker is broken so the volume buttons dont actually work. I tried taking it apart and pressing the volume down with power but no luck.
I'd be seriously second guessing what your friend did to the phone. I think it's bricked.
Sent from my Evita.
okay on the assumption it is bricked how should i proceed?
Either pay HTC about $200 for a new motherboard, or very a jtag repair done for about $60.
Sent from my Evita.
I'll just sell for parts...
The only part you can sell from it the way it is is the screen + digitizer. Imho it's worth the $60 to have it repaired, in fact I'd be making your friend pay whatever the cost of the repair is. He broke it, he bought it.
Sent from my Evita.
He actually already paid me for the phone and i upgraded a while ago it was just lying around so i let him borrow it until he got a new phone. I dont really want to sink $60 into a phone a dont need. Was just seeing if there was a quick fix.
You could pay 60 and sell it at 120

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.

You should go to a LG repair shop. Its LG who does the service, not Google.

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.

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.

I just got this very neatly used 32GB Nexus 5 and on arrival yesterday afternoon it worked well except for the reboot problem the seller indicated. I flashed stock all over and rooted and installed ElementalX kernel for tap to wake and everything was going well, until last night when it just up and died on me. I thought maybe the battery was drained and I plugged it on the charger. It wasn't charging so I left it overnight. On waking up the phone is still dead. Doesn't charge, doesn't boot, nothing. I've opened it up, disassembled it to check all the parts, and everything looks fine. I also tested the battery by touching the tip of my tongue to the connector and I got the normal tingy feeling indicating the battery still has juice in it. I also checked the two LDIs and they are all still white; no water damage. I'm just at my wit's end now and considering getting another motherboard if that would fix it, but I just want to ask if there is any hope through any kind of fix before I commit to getting a new motherboard.
It might be that ?

Thanks for your response but my phone is not even booting up at all. It's just dead. Not booting, not charging, nothing. Thanks again.
IF you press power and the volume buttons and connect it to computer, did you have in device manager something?
If it was something like QHSUSB ... you can try that (it use and LG debuging software who reflash the nexus all at stock like in the factory) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
If not it was possible that the EMMC is dead
I hope i have help you

I tried that but nothing comes up in Device Manager at all. The computer does not detect the phone in any way at all too. I think the motherboard is dead. I ordered another working Nexus 5 with a broken screen on ebay to use and swap out the motherboard.
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it.
