My phone is useless it doesnt turn on and i cannot get it to connect on my pc i can only connect it via the omap4430 driver but that keeps conecting and disconecting all the time.. So when i connect it ti the LG's Official program it says no device found and won't continue i think i have managed to brick it will think twice before using cm7 next time....
lg
its worth keep trying cos I did just the same yesterday. I had to uninstall all the LG stuff completely. I then installed it again from scratch (making sure I didn't have that roll back to version 8 fix running). I downloaded the driver with no phone plugged in. I had to plug my LG in with no battery and plugged in whilst holding vol up and power button (it still wasn't detected). Although no driver came up, when I used the recover phone emergency facility in LG it asked me for the IMEI number. I typed it in and it then found the phone and I was able to recover completely. Sorry if you've done all this already but I had lots of gos and it finally worked as I have just stated. I hope this is of some help to you, I'm not an expert but it worked for me.

Oh cuz i was trying on my win 7 with no luck i need to get my other pc out then dammit.. thanks..
One time i connected it it said downloading and it lasted a minute and a half before it said fatal error...
Once again, had a quick look through the forum and you can definitely resurrect your phone like this, the pc does not need to see a driver the lg software recovery package will pick it up. Let me know if you have any problems.

if you can't go to recovery then the phone needs to be sent to LG unfortunately,
couple other users had the same issue and they had to send the phone for service.
so i tried what you said but still the phone is not working i will keep trying thanks for all ur help and baracuda looks like thats what i will have to do now since its not working...
Broken power button maybe?...
My power button died - without that button working you can't power up the phone, go to recovery or connect to PC with LG software.
Does your phone light up when plugging into charger? If it does but doesn't actually boot...you may have a faulty and/or broken power button.
If you are in Australia, Evertec (VIC) do the repairs - including postage it took 5 working days to be repaired

The power button is fine cuz when i hold power and vol up it tries to connect itself via its omap4430 driver if the power button was broken it wouldn't do that i just know i bricked it when i replaced my card from a 16gb to 32 gb i tried putting my card back still it won't turn on.. I was using cm 7 when i changed cards...
Hi guys.
so just picked up my phone (was connected to charger) to realize that is dead! the screen is totally black,no charging/notification lights and touch buttons are not illuminated and wont power on or take a charge. tried to connect to pc but adb keeps saying "waiting on device" and thats it.
the phone is unlocked,rooted, jmz TWRP recovery and cm11.....has been running fine for the past week.
it appears to have died a sudden death....any ideas guys ???
cheers
EDIT: dunno what the hell happened as nothing was turning it back on BUT after after holding down power button and volume down for about a minute the damn thing booted up SORTED!!

Can you get into recovery mode?
Hi,
I have the exact same problem.
I cannot get into recovery. I tried Power + Vol. Up but that did not work (yet).
Did you leave it plugged into the wall charger while doing this, Braddison?
Also it does not show up on PC.

If I remember correctly I had it on charge and held down power and vol up. It did take a couple of minutes continuously holding down the buttons. Been fine ever since
If that fails try power and volume down for about 30seconds, I'm sure that's meant to hard reset phone
Thanks for your quick answer. I will try once more.
Same dead HTC One Mini here...two days ago the phone suddenly turned off (with somewhat of 80%-90% battery) and since then its dead. No LED, no charging, it even doesnt get warm when its being plugged into the charger. Pressed Power+Volume down (plugged or non-plugged) more than 2 minutes, and also Power+Volume Up more than two minutes.
adb shows no device. If i plug the phone into an USB-slot in a linux-machine dmesg doesnt says anything. So its dead or not? Since its not more than a half year old it should have warranty, but i think i wont get my photos and stuff. So this is an advioce to myself: never ever buy a phone without micro-sd-slot again!!!
cheers, jennix

I would try again after putting on charge for a few hours, ensuring that power and volume down are pressed simultaneously. i have read that its best to do this while in a bright room or shining a torch on the sensor, seems strange i know but its worth a try
good luck

Its a bit esoteric, isnt it? But nevertheless i tried it (at least the bright room) but it doesnt work. I will send it to T-Mobile and then i will hope that they didnt find that it has a CM11 on it...

hi all,
i got rid of the problem by going to my carrier. (a1 - vodafone, austria)
htc fixed it on guarantee (although i flashed a cm11-nightly)
the problem was: a damaged mainboard, which got replaced - took about two weeks..
cheers, and good luck..

thanks! Just sent mine to HTC, hope they fix it within warranty. Can I ask if ur data on the internal SD is stil intact or did you lose it all? And again someone with cm11 installed. Anyone with Sense had the same problem?
I have the exactly same problem, my phone was rooted with CM11 nightly when it died. I sent it to my carrier, but now they want me to pay 200$ for a new motherboard, because they found it was rooted and the warranty is voided. Even when I pay 200$, i still will have no warranty. And I had more than 1 year left. Is there a problem with CM11? How comes that they replace it for some people for free, and for some not? Please, give me a tip how to proceed and do I really have any options from this point?
These horror stories make me wanna stick to stock based roms. I'm a big fan of CM, but not if there's a chance it could fudge my mainboard.. real shame
or is this another example of another design fault with this phone?....

As they have to replace the motherboard it is an hardware issue, where I live rooting doesnt void warranty if there is an hardware issue. They have to give you warranty. Could you ask your carrier what exactly caused it and why the motherboard had to be replaced?

Hey. I sent it directly to AVARTO (service center here in Germany) they too wanted to charge me (around $ 240). Then I asked what exactly the problem was and they revised their statement. Sent it back for free within warranty. On the repair sheet it than said "not turning on. constantly".
Hi.
Another dead mini. S-OFF, TWRP, CM11.
Hello, I was flashing cm-11.0-XNF9XBS28K-bacon-signed on my opo and something went wrong on recovery, it was like rom flashing went wrong and it didn't happen, so I went to wipe and I'm pretty sure that I selected everything in wipe section, literally everything and hit the reboot button, and my phone won't wake up, no response, tried to press buttons in every combinations for maybe 1 min? My computer won't recognize my phone, nothing happens, no vibration, no sound ;x I think I erased everything, but is it possible to delete bootloader that way? Btw my battery was charged to about 90%.
I tried charging in for about 14hs and nothing happened, phone and charger during this time were cold. I tried to recognize it by Windows 10/XP and Ubuntu but no reponse from phone, so I coulnd't use this magical method with qualcomm port and drivers, and then this Color. Is it really bad hardware brick?
Have you tried this thread by any chance? Hopefully it works. Worked for me when I bricked mine by flashing hydrogen

Can you try long pressing the power button for 10 seconds or more to turn it off. Then long press the power button and connect to a PC and see if it responds
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Ok I will try, but I tried before some combinations with buttons and connecting to PC, now I'm testing "dead battery" so 12hrs without touching and 6 hrs charging and then unplug and plug again. But I'm almost convinced that it's something with mainboard I talked to OP and they said that they will exchange my phone If it happened during flashing Cyanogen ROM.
//Still no respond from the PC and phone. Completely dead.
Dont worry, they wont know u had twrp if the phone is hard bricked. Just carry on your RMA process. Good luck...
Today's remote session went as I thought will be, did almost everything as this technician. Now awaiting RMA ticket.

:good: Used this thread twice now and it saved my phone. Give it a shot.
I woke up around 1am tonight to a glow from my wifes Zenfone 6. Wondering why I looked at her screen to find the ASUS logo glowing fully bright like It does upon start up.
Thinking this is odd I tried rebooting it but every single button is unresponsive. I tried holding the power button down for around 30 secs, nothing.
My wife wakes up wondering what I'm doing then tells me her phone updated around 11am that day.
So it appears the ASUS pushed update has potentially stuffed her phone?
Her phone is a totally stock ASUS Zenfone 6.
Ideas on fixing? What has happened?
Cheers.

EDIT: Now DEAD
Did you try power + vol up + vol down for about 30secs?

Yes.
I waited for the battery to die and after charging the phone powered up. It lasted 12 hours before suddenly shutting itself down when the wife was changing settings to pull the time from the network.
Now dead as a brick. Charge light no longer lights. Totally unresponsive. No amount of power button/volume button combination or time will do anything to make it work again.
Pretty pissed off as it's 1 year and 16 days old and has already been sent back to ASUS to have the charge port fixed after it stopped working.
I do not know what to do now except push for a repair under warranty.
As a last resort you could try this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-6-2019/how-to/guide-unbricking-zs630kl-t3998767
If that does not work I guess warranty would be the only option left.
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the phone is totally unresponsive so I have no idea how steps involving any sort of power up can work.
PC also doesn't recognize the phone when plugged in to the USB port.
Could the USB power board have failed again?
If pc can't recognize the phone, you ran out of options. Anyway check device manager on windows just to be sure that it is not recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device at your Windows devices'. The proper guide to try to fix your state is this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-6-2019/how-to/qdloader-brick-t3980165

Nope nothing showing. Completely stuffed which is why I'm wondering if it's actually the USB power board again or if it's the main motherboard.

There have been issues with few units doing bootloops and not recovering; and Asus had acknowledged it as motherboard issue with the few early units that were made. You could get it to a service centre and get a free motherboard replacement.
Thank you @homerlovesbeer for your description. Very similar to my phone which is now also dead as a brick:
Recover files from bootlooping Zenfone6
Dear all, from the occasional reboot my Zenfone performed every now in a while (which didn't bother me too much) it now reboots so fast that it usually has not yet booted to the point where I could get data off the device before it reboots...
forum.xda-developers.com
Will send it to repair. I bought it 10 months ago.
EDIT: Small correction: Pressing all 4 buttons while it was plugged to a PC, the charging light lit up for perhaps 20 seconds. Unfortunately not reproducible.

I'd love to however I'm in Australia and their isn't an ASUS mobile service centre in this country. I've tried reaching out to Taiwan but the language barrier makes it hard.
No joy so far.
I will RMA mine tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Except for that issue, I really like the device.
Hi there. I came here on last resort.. Yesterday after I did the last update of the security patch (december 2022 I believe), the phone rebooted just fine, and after about 5-10 minutes it froze. Screen on and simply froze. A bit after the screen went off. After 2 -3 minutes like this I tried to force restart it by holding the power button and It did vibrate altough the screen didn't turn on and it didn't reboot.
Today and even after having it charging for a while it's just dead.. Doesn't turn on, can't put in it recovery mode also, nothing.
I have no idea what happened but I can't do much.
Any advice guys?
Appreciate in advance.
The same here. I can't even boot into recovery mode. I have no idea how they're going to fix this problem. Figures - this is the first Android phone that I haven't mess with i.e. root, etc.
Well I cannot be without phone and even after being charging for more than 5 hours, there wasn't even a signal of life on it. Nothing. I also couldn't even do a backup or something. Frustrating.
Bought it on amazon last year. Spoke to them and they will refund the value. Will send it back and already bought another phone. (Redmi note 11 pro).
Regarding this is just very very bad. Stuff like this cannot happen after an oficial update.
Bye Gt2 :'c
Have no Idea of what they will do because the phone is dead pretty much.. Think this is only fixable by going to a store or something...
Unless the phone is working except the screen is off I can't see it being easily fixed. I bought my off Aliexpress so I might **** out of luck.
I tried to see if it would make some noise like if the phone was working and screen off but nothing.. IDK but this really sucks. Maybe trie to contact realme directly?
I tried plugging the phone into my computer to see if it was recognized by WIndows but nothing. I have contacted them via email and Aliexpress message board but these Chinese companies aren't known for having good customer service. It's a shame for I quite like the phone. May I ask what you bought as a replacement?
I also did that but nothing. Initially I tought it could be the battery. It was either that or the update but if you also had it then for sure it was the update and there's probably more with the same problem.. Can only wish you luck with the customer support..
I've bought the xiaomi redmi note 11 pro. I just searched similar priced phones compared to what I paid for the realme(320€) and that was the best option for the price. It costed 289€. The 6gb variant. It's not a direct competitor but it's more than enough for me and it offers a lot for the price. I also had a few xiaomis before and I don't have complaints. I checked the realme 9 pro but the xiaomi was cheaper and has better specs overall.
Thanks for the update - Good luck with the new phone.
hi to all, the device is in EDL mode?
So it means you cannot acces recovery, fastboot mode and also you cannot boot your phone!

Thanks for the response. After setting up a new Oneplus 9 Pro by changing the the firmware from T-Mobile to basic Global. I'm able to get into EDL mode . I also have the correct drivers installed in WIndows so it appears in the Device Manager when in EDL mode. I also have the current firm. I just need a working version of the MSM program.

Something similar happened to me yesterday twice, device suddenly turned off while I wasn't even looking, and wouldn't turn on again no matter how much time I'd press the power button.
However; When I held Power Button + Volume UP for a few seconds, the device did turn ON back again.

Geez this worked perfectly, you are a lifesaver!! After holding the Power Button + Volume Up my device did turn ON. I faced all similar issues mentioned in this thread related to booting after the screen went black while using it.
