[Q] Liquid Thunderbolt Problem

Hello. First and foremost i am noob, but i fee like i've given this site a fair scrub for my situation and i haven't found anyone in a similar situation. I have an htc thunderbolt, I am not sure about any of the software versions, but i am on verizons network. I recently rooted my phone. The rooting process went fine. I then went on to install the latest version of liquid thunderbolt using rom manager. The install seemed to go fine. IT go to the point where a graphic loaded on the screen. I think its the liquid thunderbolt loading graphic. It's like this vortex-like thing with a bunch of lightening in the middle and then a water drop surrounded by lightening. Either way it's been stuck on this screen for the past 4 hours. What should i do? Is my phone what htey call bricked? If so can i recover from it? Should i just yank out the batter?! PLEASE HELP!

What you are describing is happening to me right now as well. Have you found out any new information. btw My tb has been rooted for 4 months with no troubles. last night i put clockwork mod/rom manager on it went through the process step by step then selected a new rom I think it was from liquid thunder. Now no mater what i do the phone boots up to the htc screen and then to rotating screens just like you described. that's it nothing else. it will not power off without to pulling the battery. i have pulled the sd card. it will not boot into hboot. press down vol. then the power.
thanks,
Jarrad

Hi, this is Jarrad's wife and I have fixed his phone. I was asleep last night when he did this to his phone and he has been up all night working on it. He even went as far as to make me breakfast in bed in order to soften the blow I guess with regard to the information he was about to tell me about his brand new very expensive phone, since he knew it would piss me off. So anyway he had the phone off for about an hour and a half on the charger and stopped messing with it. After he told me his story of what he did to the phone I decided to take a look at it. He told me that when you go into recovery you push and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time but, this is not true or at least its not what I did to get him to the recovery screen. I was going to turn it on but, forgot he said it had a problem, so after holding down the power button ALONE for about 5 seconds I then pushed the volume down button and held them both together and boom the recovery screen came up. Now it was not a fluke because he then used the wrong recovery option and locked it up again. So, again a pressed the power button ALONE for about 5 seconds and then added the pressing of the volume down control button and boom back to the recovery screen. I hope this works for you the way it worked for me. Good Luck.

Infuse acting crazy!

So last night I dropped it. It was fine I have a ballistic case. Then pulled it out of my pocket 1 HR later and the Samsung boot logo just keeps repeating. I take the battery out, and as soon as i put it back in it starts doing the same thing. I tried recovery, download mode, plugging it in. Nothing! same thing over and over. Then I just put battery in and pressed the power button over and over probably 40 times aand it starts up and runs fine? It came back on last night for about 30 minutes then did the same booting problem. Do you guys think I messed something up by dropping it? I haven't flashed anything in months. Should I take it and get a new one?

probably ANOTHER broken power button...honestly, seems like everyones power button is failing these days...its starting to become common...one user had luck with this: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-4g-power-button-repair/ i think jscott suggested taking off the phones casing and dusting the inside where the button is with compressed air to clean off the contacts, another user has mentioned to completely desolder the power button and use a usb jig to power on the device...do any of the following at your own risk, i cant guarantee any will work...

Well it hasn't happened again. Clicking the button a hundred times might have fixed it hahaha.

[Q] Is my phone bricked?

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.

[Q] Unable to charge. DOA?

Hi all,
my brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 won't boot and it seems like it is not charging.
The first time I turned it on the screen lid up with a colourful snow image and stayed like that until I turned it off.
Subsequently the tablet wouldn't turn on.
I have tried a different charger but with no luck.
However after trying to reset the device (power + vol up) and playing with the power on button for awhile, I did manage to get the Galaxy Note 10.1 boot screen to show, but it was just stuck there and eventually it turned off.
Incidentally, I bought the device from Currys in London Victoria on Sunday and I live abroad, so I have no way of going back to the store for a replacement. Any ideas of how to get it replaced or repaired? It's only 2 days old
Thanks in advance

plug it into the computer with ODIN running and see if it can recover your tablet

"colourful snow image" wtf.
Talk to the store on the phone, send it back via dhl or some other service.
When trying the odin stuff, check the flash counter... if you can connect with odin you will be able to flash a stock firmware, be careful to choose the right one for your device on sammobile.

Unfortunately the device is not even recognised on any PC I've pluged it to, so it seems to be completely dead.
Thanks for your help though @khanh1289 & @KoRoZIV

Did you tried to put it in download mod or recovery? To be recognized by Odin you have to start with power+volume down, to get in the stock recovery for data wipe power+volume up.
Edit : nvm, I see that you tried... sorry it's dead, I hope you can exchange it.

[CRITICAL] [Q] Help with Hardbrick!

Ok, so my Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus has stopped completely operating. When you turn it on, it shows the Samsung Trend Plus logo, but before the boot animation, it gets stuck to a black screen (The screen color is black, the screen does not close). Whenever I press any of the phone's buttons, It will vibrates. It does that every 4-5 times and then theres a long vibration. The phone is rooted, but it runs for about 5 months with root. Im using an alcatel less powerfull charger to charge, due to the reason the official samsung one was broken. Yesterday, I mengled around with GravityBox (But I have GravityBox and Xposed framework since root) on the Navbar settings, and after the phone rebooted, It constantly said [SystemUI has stopped]. This had happened to me like a month ago again, but then I just reflashed the Official Rom via Odin. This time, I chose to just delete SystemUi's apk from /system/apps and then copy it back to the phone from my pc. The phone worked perfectly for a day after that, but when I went to take it out of my pocket at the evening, it was closed, even though 1 hour ago it had like 37% battery. So, I charged, and when It finished, I went to open and the Black Screen problem came out. I can't neither boot in recovery nor Download Mode

So, it seems your battery is dead, this is nothing to do with software (unless the stock rom killed it), so, buy a new one, or see if it is covered by the warranty

Yes, but when I put it in the charger, it shows the charging animation....... And then if the battery is dead, how can it power the vibrations and the screen?

I just tried a different battery, because I have a second Trend Plus, which works perfectly. It still has the same problem.
