My phone will no longer turn on. It powered off suddenly and now flashes Samsung across the screen if I attempt to turn it back on, not sure if the phone can be repaired but im anxious to retrieve photos and contact information etc off it. Can you offer any advice/ help?
Thanks
XT1080 Maxx - no recovery, no factory, and no USB connection to PC
I am trying to fix my brother's XT1080 Maxx, or at least get his photos off of it. This phone is stock, as my bro is not tech savvy at all.
He went to bed one night. I am not sure if the phone tried installing an update while unplugged or what happened, but when he woke up in the morning and tried turning it on, it stuck on the droid eye screen. He tried rebooting a few times and was finally able to get to the unlock screen, but once unlocked, everything crashed, like motolauncher, gapps, acore, media, etc.
We took it to several Verizon retailers, some official stores and some authorized retailers. Everyone said they could not help.
At this point, he gave it to me to work with. I tried recovery from fastboot, but it says boot failed. After lots of turning on and off, I was able to get to the unlock screen. After pushing OK to the millions of crashes, I was able to get to the settings screen. I tried everything from clearing cache to factory resetting within the settings. Nothing would work. Anything to do with data would bring up a .media crash. The best I got was turning on the Bluetooth, but nothing useful can be done with it. I also tried NFC, but could never complete a transfer, which didn't matter because I could not get to his gallery anyway. I booted in safe mode a few times and always got the same results.
I tried every option possible to connect the phone to my computer. The USB never did a thing, no matter what driver I tried using. I downloaded all kinds of programs from these forums. The computer would not recognize it in fastboot either.
I told my bro he was screwed and tried a fastboot factory reset. All it does is boot the phone in the normal way, which either sticks on the droid eye or finally makes it to the unlock screen. At this point, I am raging mad.
I decided to disassemble the phone to see if removing the battery would somehow magically allow me to connect it to the computer. I currently have just the board and battery connected to a PC. I had a fastboot driver to come up for a split second, but I have no idea how or why. I am not sure if I bent the board just right, which allowed a contact to be made, but I have not been able to replicate it.
Does anyone have any ideas? The phone is screwed for sure, so if there is anything extreme I can do to save his pictures, I will do it. Thanks in advance.
I got a LG Lucid 2 VS870, and I rooted it and uninstalled some system apps. I started it up about a day after I uninstalled the stuff, and it is stuck in a boot loop saying "LG. Security Error." Says security error under LG on the screen. Some were google apps, and I read on a forum elsewhere that I should leave the google apps alone on these phones. I have the stock firmware to be flashed on to it downloaded. When I put it in to download mode, it constantly connects then disconnects, even when nothing is moving the phone. I tried LG mobile support tool, which seemed like it was going to work, then the phone kept connecting and disconnecting. It also is very selective on when it wants to turn on too. It will only turn on sometimes. Even if I leave it plugged in & charging for hours. When I can get it to turn on and go in to download mode, it stays in download mode for maybe 2 minutes, then turns off. All USB drivers are installed and up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I got it figured out. I don't know how to remove this thread though.
I've had the phone for over 6 months, it'd belonged to my sister before and everything was fine. I got a new phone recently and stopped using J. Just turned it off and put aside. I turned it back on today, it was working fine, until I wanted to do a wipe, nothing happened afterwards. I've had 360 security installed, thought it may be causing problems, so I uninstalled it. Then the phone was supposed to reset and so it did, but it didn't start again. Until this moment it hasn't shown even one sign of life, no random vibrations, no diodes flashing. I read about taking out the battery, powering it for hours, turning on with power+vol, power-vol, whatever. Nothing worked. When I connect it to the PC, it recognizes that something is being connected, tries to install a driver but immediately I get a message that it's failed. Any idea how I may solve this?

Hi,
My mobile which was working fine till last night. Today morning without no reason its not switching on.
Make and model : Lenovo A7700 (2016)
OS : Android 6
There is no issue with battery or display or any part, it's was just on the table whole day idle. No physical damages.
All of sudden it's not switching on. When connected to charge even the logo needs to come if battery Is drained but its acting like a brick. If the display is the problem then atleast while connecting to charge the vibration needs to come. So there is no problem with display or battery.
Tried all the possible ways to turn on, nothing helped. When connected to PC it says last device you tried to connect was malfunctioned.
What happened actually all of sudden in one night.
I have done nothing recently with my phone nothing absolutely. It was just on the table. Last night I charged my phone and after Charing completed unplugged and kept as it was.
Please anyone help me so many documents are there in the internal storage which atleast I need to transfer to another phone.
Please kindly anyone help me with this ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
P.S : My mobile is not rooted or side loaded with anything. It's just as it is from the start. As mentioned earlier nothing absolutely nothing I done with mobile. My mobile had scheduled switch on and off feature so it will switch off on night 1o clock and turns on morning 6 o clock that was enabled many years ago and till yesterday no problem. But it today it switched off at 1 o clock AM with full charge and when I tried to turn on manually it's is not working.
Please Help me anyone to atleast recover data from internal storage.
