Hello guys,
I'm experiencing something bad with my HOS. Briefly, yesterday morning I plug the phone from charger at 06.00 am. Play with it for a while and then go to work. Used it at work for a few phone calls until 10.00 am (so 4 hours on fully charge battery). Then at 10.00 am I went into a meeting and left the phone out of my sight for 20-30 minutes. When I came back from the meeting I realize that the phone was closed. I try to open it (power button) but nothing. Press power for 10-30 seconds with volume down - still no effect.
Then I took the charger (the original one that I always use to cherge it) and plug it, left it for 2-3 minutes and press power. The phone starts but all I have is the white screen with HTC logo and if I press the power button + volume down the phone goes into bootloader. That's all I can do with it for now.
I have stock rom, bootloader is locked and I never try to root the phone. Is it any chance to repair it by myself or I have to sent it to the repair shop.
many thanks in advance.

try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, until all 3 buttons light up and the phone restarts itself. Let go of power button when after 3 buttons light up 3 times and see if that helps?
I've already do that. When I press power nothing happen. I'll have to plug into charger, let it for 2-3 minutes and then press power. The phone starts, white screen with HTC logo appears and then phone restarts and same white screen and .... again and again. If I hold volume down key then the phone enters into bootloader,I can use the options clear storage or factory reset, and restart the phone then same thing happens (white screen with logo and restart by itself). All these only when pluged. If unpluged nothing happen when I press power button.

Might sound silly but have you charged it for more then a few minutes because last time my phone died I had to charge it for about half hour before it would boot right.
I'll try this, but is strange if the phone run out of battery since it was used for about 4 hours since fully charged. Will be back with a feedback. Thanks for the tip.

Ya that's why I said it might be silly but still give it a try. I have seen odd battery drain where it could drain it in a few hours.
I say it's strange because I was on stock rom with same installed apps for about 2 months. Anyway the phone is now charging and I see something different with the led for charging as it turns orange as it should be when charging. Yesterday, when I try to start the phone,plugged in, the led was blinkering somehow. I'll be back with feedback later, I'll let the phone charge until led turns green.

Good news, after keep it to cherge until the led turns green, the phone boot up. I perform a factory reset immediatelly and an sd card clean up and now I'm installing my favourite apps. I'll be monitoring close my phone for the next days to see if sudden battery discharges happens.
Many thanks for your advice @darknites:good:

Np dude. Not sure where the drain is I used apps to look and it showed nothing and only seen it on sense roms and mostly only happened after flashing and setting it up but if you see it just roboot and it should fix it.
my phone is now dead the same way.
battery was fully drained, when turning on it doesn't go further than the bootanimation ( stays at htc one s logo).
Now i have fully charged the battery (green led) and it still doesn't boot up the right way.
Any help? I don't want to run the RUU.

Could try reflashing the rom if that dont work think you going to have too RUU it but use one that has the same Hboot as you got now.
What do you mean by not boot the right way? Can you pass the white screen with Htc logo? Did you try factory reset? Was your phone rooted?

I believe (but can not back it up) that you could have just re-flashed the boot image only. Still 10x probably.. altho that may have been the charging time, not the flashing.. who knows.
Hi,
i update my Galaxy S7 today with the new DBT-Firmware. I follow a Tutorial in which you can update a rooted Phone with flashify it without loss any data. Also the TWRP works still great after this. I did this with the last Firmware few weeks ago and it works great.
Today it works great also, everything was perfect. Than a last step: I flash the the bootloader seperately in odin. i did this the last time too and it works well. but not at this time.
After Bootloader flash, the device stays in the first Screen with Samsung Logo, i cannot go to Download Mode or Recovery. I tried a USB-Jig, but it changes nothing. The only thing you can do now is, to make a Reset with Power+Volume Down. Than the screen goes black for a second and it shows the Samsung Logo Screen again.
bad thing is: I cant turn off the device!
i remove the SIM and the SD-Card, but no reaction.
Anybody an idea? The battery was half loaded, so maybe it takes a while, before it will shutdown itself.
Mhhh, that's a bad day, i fear. But iam an Idiot, it was the Bootloader-Flash at the end, before that everything was perfect.
Maybe anybody can help me, that were great.
And sorry for my bad english.
Thanks,
Jan

No. Iam holding it about a Minute, a few times, nothing happends.
Iam still at the first screen with the logo.
There is a hacky method to remove the back and get to the battery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1naej9BnfM
But it will no longer be waterproof
I can't think of any way to power off the phone if holding power does nothing
Have you tried resetting it with the USB Jig inserted?

Yes, i tried that too. with and without I just can turn off this thing off.
thanks for the link, but i think before i remove the backcover, i better will bring it to repair first. i got an official samsung repair center in my town.
by the way: it was the bootloader from the latest official firmware (G930FXXU1BPH6, DBT-Version).
i cannot explain to myself, what happend i done all this a few weeks ago with the last firmware without any problems.

i will now wait, until it shuts down itself, maybe that took a few hours.
if i can charge it, maybe i can than go into the downloadmode.
If you had 50% battery left, and it's just sitting on the Samsung logo, it might take days to run out
50% battery on idle with the phone booted into Android will last a day or two on its own, just on the logo is like ultra power saving mode

Found this, try holding power and volume down & up together for safe mode (Might not work if it's stuck on the logo, but worth a try)
---
Okay. This morning my S7 would not turn off, its not the edge, but basically the same phone.
You must hold down the power, the volume up and down all at the same time for about 15 seconds. (All 3 buttons).
It will go into safe mode. In the safe mode screen hit the volume button down a few times until it moves to restart.
Click the power button, as "enter" and the phone will restart.
It did a restart and I tried again to turn it off and this time, it did work. I will keep you all updated if I have any more issues.

Does Smart Switch see it?
All this is unlikely due to where it is stuck, at the logo, you shouldn't have been able to kill download mode is the thing, that is part of the hardware, nothing to do with the ROM, you 'should' always be able to enter download mode if you hold Volume Down & Home & Power at boot, not sure why it's freezing at the logo before that point
With the S5 there was an unbrick image you flashed to a MicroSD card, put that in the phone, and that took you to download mode where you could recover the phone
See if there is the same thing for the S7, I'm not sure
ok, after the phone shut down itself, i was able to go to the download mode. but only on first try. when it boots normally, it stuck again on that logo an i must wait again until it goes off itself.
flash it than in download mode with latest firmware in odin with 4 parts. power from the usb was enough to stay it on.
now it seems ok, back on latest firmware.
what a hell of an evenig, need a beer right now
You can switch your phone off with the 3 key pressing and holding (vol+, vol-, power) but your phone needs to be connected to power otherwise it will reboot.

yes, iam happy now, seems to work fine.
i think it was because the new bootloader don't work with the twrp version that was installed.
on the twrp page there is a new version especially for this firmware. it was published yesterday and i didn't see it.
so i think, after flash the new bootloader over the old twrp it chrashed the whole system.

Well if you do it again, make sure your battery is low first in case you have to wait again
Any reason you needed to flash the bootloader over the one that was already there?

yes, better i will do so in the future.
an no, there's no reason to replace the bootloader, i only did it to make the whole flash "complete".
a bad mistake, that brought me in sweating. i will learn from that experience.
I exactly have the same problem.
How'd you managed to power it off? just waiting?

Remove charger and let the phone battery die, might take a long time depending on how much it was charged
Try connecting the white MicroUSB > USB adapter that came with the phone to something power hungry to drain it quicker
Power off you device and then wait 10 seconds. After waiting press and hold the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons at the same time
After the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button, while still holding the other two buttons until Android System Recovery screen appears.
Using the "Volume Down" button, highlight "wipe cache partition" and press the Power button to select it.
After the cache partition is cleared, the Galaxy S7 will reboot automatically. This worked for me ans I hope this will help

Red LED should not show when charger is not connected though
Press power button plus volume up and down hold for 5 to 10 sec it will restart ur phone same thing happen with on s6 but not on s7.
I once had to press vol up and down, power and home (that's all buttons) at the same time for ten seconds for the S7 to reboot as it was stuck and seemingly dead. No led on at the time though. But I have disabled the leds in the settings anyway.
UPDATE!
The battery discharged completely(red led was off),first i tried to put it in download mode and IT WORKED!!! But the phone wouldn't turn on because the battery was 0%.I charged it and now it works fine :| I hope this was something software related and not hardware and i hope this will never happen again.Thx for the help guys!

Yup ?
Same problem
I have the same issue... Tried to charge my phone with 15% battery and after a few hours it was 8%. Tried to reboot, charge with the phone turned off but nothing was happening ( not charging, not booting up. tried buttons combinations as well ). The led is not showing up on mine because i disabled it from the settings so i'm not sure if it's charging or not. Took the phone to an authorized service on friday so next week i'll be getting a response from them. By the way, the phone is only one week old :crying:
Hello,
Ive tried to look for a similar situation in other thread but each case is different so i open a new one.
This morning, when i took my idol 3 the screen did not switch off when pressing power button. I thought it was battery but when i plugged charger,nothing happened except the led is on continuously. I kept power button pressed for 10 seconds. The phone vibrates shortly but still a black screen, no sound and no reaction from the touch panel. Power+vol+ did not led me to my twrp recovery. What can i do now to get it work again? The phone is rooted with Rom Eu 4.2 from murigny64 and it is the first time i encounter this issu. Thanks in advance for helping me
Tonight i disconnected the battery for about 30min then connect it again. Then i tried to start in recovery: Just a vibration but no display and no sound. I unplugged/plugged the battery again and try to start. Same problem. What the hell could happen? Maybe a deffective hardware
Insist on boot ( normal or in to recovery with vol + and power).
That is a hardware brick.
Happened to me to some times, insist, it will unbrick

Hopelessly i tried to restart several times before you post your message. But im gonna try again.
I charged the phone all the night but nothing better and the phone is not detected on pc so no adb action possible.

Can be, can be to... To bad if is battery.
But still trying to boot, is very difficult to.
.
thank you for advise but it's still not working. I spend about 30 minutes trying different combination of button: power pressed until it vibrate, power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up & down, discontinuous press of power with charger and no charger....and so on. Its a complete failure.
If it is the battery, there was no sign of weakness before (short life, random shutoff, ....) . It happen suddenly: I lock my screen before sleeping and the next morning no way to switch it on again.
I thought I would avoid problems for long with a twrp recovery, a backup and adb tools on my pc.....but for hardware issues its useless.
How can I be sure it is battery before purchasing another one ?

If it was the screen the touch panel would work and i could sense vibration when typing the pin code no?
The led bright continuously when i plug instead of flashing slowly as it used to do when charging. That why i think its battery.
...and when i start in recovery the phone is not detected on my pc
That's hardware brick. Don't give up, try to boot, normally or in recovery, keep trying it will boot.

Therefore the back can be dismantle and we can access battery and that s what i did.
Yes i disconnected it for several hours and pluged it again but it gave me the same result. And now it doesnt vibrate anymore when i keep the power button pressed a while.
I purchased a battery on internet and im waiting for delivery to test if im right or not. Il feedback about the test.
Anyway its nice from you to look for any solution. Thanks

I guess you did everything properly, so just one thing: at first time when I did this, I choosed the wrong cable (which didn't 'reset' the phone), so I hope you pulled both out.

I think i choose the good connection: This is the one over the battery with 6 wires: 2 red, 2 white and 1 black (see picture attached). I just left it with a small screwdriver to disconnect.

Hello,
I received the new battery today.
So i unpacked it, i unplugged the old one and plugged the new one ...and guess what happened......the same bevahiour as with the old battery: when i press the button power, it vibrate but it doesnt start neither in recovery nor in normal mode.
I just precise that the new battery is charged at 50%........:crying:
So the problem is not the battery but it was the only thing i could test by myself before sending the phone to alcatel for repair.
Im still wondering what could happen to my idol 3: It had been woking perfectly for months and one morning with no warning, it refuse to switch on. Ok sorry for annoying us and hope it wont happen with yours.
I hope alacatel will apply the guarantee although the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked....because its a hardware issue i think.
Hello,
Just to conclude. The phone got back from repair after 10 days. They have changed motherboard, battery and also the back that was damaged. Its a brand new phone .
So I was running the Pixel Experience rom and then the phone randomly restarted. This has happened before but this time, it froze while rebooting and wouldn't turn back on.
Now, the phone is in a kind of "dead" mode. Won't charge, won't turn on. I can't boot into recovery or download mode as it won't boot at all. BUT it's still o. Its warm near the CPU area.
I read somewhere to just let the phone drain itself so I left it alone for about half a day and then I connected it into a charger and it worked. I charged it up to 17% (was 100% before all this started) and booted into the rom (big mistake) and the same thing ended up happening a minute into usage.
I can tell it's probably a software issue and not hardware but its been a day since then and the phone in the same "dead" mode but this time isn't warm on the CPU area, just dead. I'm really lost right now on what to do.
If there's anyway to flash the phone while off (like an MTK device) I'd appreciate help with that. I'd love any other forms of advice as well.
Thanks
How vol. Down + home button + power while phone is plugged in for 20 seconds. If it doesnt work maybe a usb jig can help you(costs 5$) and still works
