I have a samsung galaxy S from T-mobile, It became unresponsive and it started for no reason.
It is a locked , never rooted no firmware or software updated ever. Just had some Apps from marketplace though no new apps recently.
this is what happened. I left it for charging and the battery was dry. i gotta a call, so disconnected a/c charging and I could not swipe answer button and the phone kinda went to freeze, then screen went black. I took the phone connected for charging and after some time tried to hit power button , it starts the flash logo and t-mobile logo screen and then to the home screen which was black except for some icons in the top toolbar.
so i started again and went on like 4 times and i gotta screen like ( i think downloading screen ) . thats it . THe phone never charged or started again, I tried 3 button combos and all the basic recovery steps for this and not worked. I have been hunting for answer last couple of days before deciding to write my own thread. I am now convinced my phone is fully bricked , what should i do now?
So you think your bricked... Well good thing is your not bricked.
The information you gave us is not very clear.
I would take a guess and I would say its the battery. Replace the battery with a new one.
Ok so I got this phone in December and it worked fine until about last Sunday. I was playing candy crush and my phone froze. I couldn't turn it off or exit candy crush so I took the battery out. I then put the battery back in and turned the phone off. The phone was on the black screen saying Samsung and it had the Samsung mobile website under it. 10 minutes later the phone slowly started to get through the animated Samsung logo and it didn't make the sounds it usually would when it would go through that part. Then the phone was stuck on the S and it kept going from plain white to a purple blue color. It stayed on the S for about another 10 minutes and then the phone was finally finished booting and it went to the slide to unlock screen. The slide to unlock does not work at all. I even took my screen protector off and tried to unlock it and that didn't work either. It I slide the keyboard out the phone will slowly realize that I pulled it out and will like 10 seconds to turn the screen sideways. If I take the battery out and try to turn the phone on again it will slowly boot again like I just explained and then I still won't be able to slide to unlock. I had gotten into the Android system recovery 3e and selected the reboot system now option and it didn't help at all. After rebooting the system the phone booted very slow again and when it finally got to the slide to unlock screen, it would not even recognize that I touched the unlock. I have also cleared cache partition and done a factory reset and still the phone was very slow to boot and would not let me slide to unlock. I have not used my phone is a few days and I really want to fix it. I brought the phone to a Sprint store today and they said they didn't know why the phone was acting this way and that they didn't know what to do. Does anyone know something that they didn't know at the store that can help me start using my phone again or something that will help finally be able to use my phone?
I bought a used GS6 a few days ago and several times the phone has either randomly rebooted, froze up, black screen, laggy etc. Several times when this has happened it appears as though the phone is still on but there is a black screen. Other times the phone just shuts completely off as far as I can tell. When this happens sometimes I can power down with pwr+vol down and get into the service screen. Other times I can't do anything at all with the phone for several minutes. In all cases when I plug it into the charger and let it charge a while it seems to come back to life.
At first I assumed this was a software problem, but after 3 data factory resets that does not appear to be the case. The problem crops up almost right away after the reset.
Then I noticed these issues always seem to start happening when the battery level gets down to about 65%. This is consistent. I can find no other consistent reason why these problems happen. When the phone is fully charged I don't seem to get these problems.
Any ideas what could be the actual problem (bad battery, bad main board, bad...) and any solutions? Thanks in advance.
I've had this phone for about 2 months now, and from the beginning, it's had an issue where it would randomly freeze, restart, and get stuck in a boot loop for random amounts of time. Sometimes it would be fine after 2 minutes, sometimes it would need 10. I kept thinking this was a firmware issue - the phone WAS rooted with TWRP installed, but none of my past phones have had this issue and hardly anybody online seems to have had it, either - and just thought that maybe installing a custom ROM would fix it, but never got around to doing so.
3 days ago, my S7 went into a boot loop again, so I just decided to put it down and let it do its thing. After 20 minutes, however, it still wasn't booting, so I booted into TWRP, and cleared the cache and Dalvik cache. Another 20 minutes later, I went into panic mode and started doing Nandroid backups of my stuff. I decided that I had no other choice but to commence with finding a ROM to replace stock. In the meantime, I just plugged it in and let it keep looping, hoping against hope that it would just fix itself like it always did.
About half an hour later, I was ready to install the ROM I'd decided on. I went and picked up my phone, but all that I saw was the screen was black, and the blue notification LED was lit up. I tried holding Vol- + Power to start booting it into TWRP, but nothing happened. The phone didn't vibrate, the screen didn't change, and the LED stayed lit. I tried holding every button combination possible, for even as long as a minute, but the phone refused to respond. I tried plugging it into my computer, but Windows didn't detect anything.
Skip to today, and the phone's battery has long since died(the LED isn't lit up, so I can only assume...), and I just decided to plug the phone in for the hell of it just to see if maybe it would maybe work again. To my astonishment, 2 minutes later, the battery icon came up on the screen, but the charging animation wasn't there. When I held Vol- + Power, the phone actually responded and restarted! Though, it wouldn't boot past the Galaxy S7 splash screen, and when I tried to boot it into TWRP, it went back to being a brick. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, plugged it in, and this time tried to get it into Download Mode, and it worked!
I downloaded the Switzerland version of the G930F firmware, flashed it in Odin, and everything seems to have worked. Odin says it succeeded, but when the phone tried to restart, it got to the splash screen, and after a few minutes, the screen went black again. When I plug it in now, the Galaxy S7 screen will come up, but now I can't seem to get into Download Mode anymore(though, it DOES still seem to respond to me pressing Vol- + Power).
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I can only seem to find 3 or 4 other threads on various forums about this problem, but none of them have any answers. People just keep saying the usual "Hold Vol- and Power to make the phone restart", but in case I haven't made it clear, THAT ISN'T WORKING.
And before you suggest that I return it to where I bought it for a replacement or refund: I bought this phone on eBay from a seller who said it was in pretty much mint condition. When the phone arrived, there was not a dent or scratch anywhere on the phone, even around the charger port, so I have no reason to believe he was lying. When I asked him about any possible problems with the phone's operational stability the other day, he says he tested it for about 2 weeks, and that he didn't notice anything.
Sounds like a hardware fault, not much else you can do other than flashing stock and factory resetting, which you've done
Considering it had a fault from day 1 it sounds like that fault finally caught up with it
Likely scenario if sent for repair, new motherboard replacement needed

Common problem. Only fix is sending it in. A lot of devices in that time had the issue
