Phone won't power on

I recently flashed a new ROM and everything went well. 2-3 weeks later my phone died from lack of charge, I connected it. I turned it on and my start up screen begins but it just stays there...the phone doesn't turn on. I've let it charge completely, and it still will not turn all the way on.
Is there something I can try? How does one get into recovery or download mode with this phone?

Start your phone by pressing volume up and power button together. This will boot the phone into boot loader menu. Then use volume button to scroll down and select recovery. Press power button to boot into recovery.
You may try flashing a diff ROM and see if it boots.

The ROM (a Hellybean version) is just not working...I reloaded it and I still get stuck at the startup screen. As this phone doesn't have an external SD card, how would one go about putting in another ROM?
Or simply, how do I go back to stock? Is there something like ODIN? Sorry the noob questions...I know my phone front and back (old Captivate) and I'm actually trying to fix this for my boyfriend. Thanks

Go into Recovery-> Mount and Storage -> Mount USB Storage, then you're Computer will recognize your phone, and will able to see your SD card, then put Rom in the Sd Card, unmount SD card from recovery, Go back, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from SD card and happy Flashing

It worked Thank you guys! :good:

Try turning it off by long pressing the power button untill the screen goes off .... then follow the steps to open CWM ... press the power and volume up until Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo appears then stop pressing the power and keep pressing vol up and if it fails try with another turn off ... because trying to open CWM when the samsung logo is there wont work

Try to install again but if it fails again I'd try to re-download the rom... Hope you have an sd card reader cos the note WON'T be recognised by the PC....
You could also try to do a factory reset, format system, data and sd card, remove your external card before doing this so you don't accidentally loose everything there...

ok guys, fortunatly my note woke up and decided to enter in download mode...i flash the phil touch recovery and upgraded to the v8!
Many thanks to @wolvie80 who helped me :laugh:
Cheers and thanks to the other guys who wrote there

Need help with my phone

Good day everyone,
I have been facing a huge problem in the past weeks after I have done one mistake.
I was installing a newer version of TWRP recovery and instead of installing the image I installed it as zip.
My OS was gone, I couldn't get it to "recover" my OS in any way. The kernel seems fine.
I have tried to use a micro SD and USB cable to install a new ROM but TWRP couldn't detect my SD card and my PC couldn't connect to my phone.
I also wiped my whole data.
My phone doesn't boot in the recovery unless it's not charging and start with ONLY pushing the power button.
Holding power and volume up will make it vibrate 3 times and restart.
Charging the phone makes it stuck on the android logo after the battery status.
The phone overheats and the battery drains extremely .
The only message I got from TWRP is, "No OS installed".
Other logs are inaccessible or wiped.
I would appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance!

1. Turn off your phone
2. Enter the phone Flashmode by holding the volume down button, then connect to a PC (the led should be green and your PC should recognize your Z5).
3. Flash the FTFs in Flashtool.
Information about how to that can be found on this forum.

This might help.

There are chance your recovey is damaged
You can try to boot recovey according to your phone from odin or flash firamware ( flashing firamware delete your data)

Well, I've got your same problem years ago. You should press Home+Power+Vol Up/Down when in Charge and wait to display the charging status.
After that, you could connect it and flash via Odin.
I've always format my Internal SD with Recovery (TWRP) once every two months. :good:

No response for my S7, I cannot boot it to recovery mode nor download mode.
After waiting for 3 hours, the "RED" light gone (may be no battery) . It will light up again when I charge it.

There's no solution, and the easy step is to send it to a Samsung Centre. Don't try any hardmod operation

I had faced the same issue and Nokia Support told me to visit the service center. But I solved it by myself.
I did not do anything actually.
First I take out the SIM and SD card.
Then Let the phone drain the battery until it shut down. It took more than 1 day for me as my battery was not full.
So you need to wait until the battery empty.
Later I charged device for more than 5hours (actually I left for whole night!!!). Then disconnect the charger. And wait for some hours and then finally press the power button and the Phone is working now.
The only problem I am facing now is with my SD card, because I used the SD card as Internal Storage, but now the Device is asking to format the SD card. Even my PC also cannot read that card... I have lot of data inside the card.... I donot know how to get back that data..:crying:

Updated via?
Did u apply update from SD card?

stay on error screen
press vol+ and vol - with power
wait to turn off, still pressing the 3 button
wait for 2 o 3 short vibration.
release the button.
if the phone not start instantly, you can now flash with sptools or ost la
