Try hold on volume up and down and power button at the same time for 30 second I think its kernel panic.

Also leave phone charging for a few hours and don't touch it see if it also was a bit low battery.

none of it works, left it overnight and tried every button combo

Power + Volume Down for 10-15 second simulates a battery removal, so try that.

Given it's not responding to that, and no lights when plugged into power, I'd say it's probably hard bricked and unrecovaerable. That's the risk when playing with things like dual boot etc I guess. Or just bad luck.

Hard Bricked?

So I tried to update from 33R to 38R manually and I do believe I hard bricked the phone, if anyone can tell me or help that would be great.
My Phone
Unlocked
Rooted
TWRP Recovery
Adaway modified system files
CF Lumen modified system files
So I tried to update manually and with modified system files it would not allow me to install the stock 38R update so I tried the modified file found here on XDA that did not work so I read something about restoring to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/xnph38r-ota-update-t2897933
So I fastbooted and uploaded all the images as described on the guide through the command prompt and rebooted. After the reboot it just shut off to a black screen and would not start again. Cannot fastboot nada, tried plugging in the usb cable and no charging light nada.
Any help would be appreciated.
You have to tell us which guide you used and what files you loaded into your phone.

Yep, it won't turn on, wont see any led when I plug it in to indicate that it is charging , dead...
Tried the power reset that OPO told me to do, hold the power button 5 times for 20 secs each to no avail.

Leave it connected to the charger for 24 hours, don't touch it in that time, and then try again.

Plug your phone into your computer. Go into Device Manager. Is there anything that says "QHSUSB_BULK"? Or anything that says "QHSUSB" or "Qualcomm High-Speed" in the name?

There's a special mode that should show up, regardless of whether your device will boot or not. Hold the power button for ~60 seconds, and plug your phone into your computer. Nothing should show on your phone. Then check your Device Manager. There should be something relating to the terms I posted above. If that doesn't work, try holding the power button for 60 seconds while the phone is plugged into the computer.

Z5 weird behavior : not charging, rebooting on its own and no way to turn it off

I've got a z5 dual e6683 not working properly for 6 months.
Some day, it just started not charging when the phone was on. I waited till battery died, then plugged it in wall charger and it got up to 100%. I managed to start the phone and then it was ok. I charged it a couple of time in 2 days, and then suddenly doesn't recognizes charge anymore... I also can't turn it off; when i turn off, it stops and restarts immediatly in bootloop. I managed to force it to stop by pressing power and both + and - volume but even then its not totally off, it still displays battery level...... Any ideas ?
Thanks
Wait for battery do die completely, then hold volume down and plug usb cable if it turns green then flashmode works and you can flash new firmware, maybe it will fix the issue

no, it didn't fall. I used it whithout any problem during 6 months and then it just strated buging... Sony won't take it under warranty since i bought it from Hong kong (no dual sim version in Europe at the time...)
another symptom is that, when flashtool is done and says disconnect and restart, i disconnect the phone from the computer and it boots on its own...

Might have bricked my phone?

I was using lrteam twrp 3.4.2b-1206 and I was sideloading the vendor update for 12.2.1.0 when the progress bar froze. I gave it 10 minutes and held the power button to reboot and now the phone is showing no signs of life i cant get it to even show the poco screen. I've got no ideas left on what to do.

yeah no combination of buttons will show any signs of life and i can't even get to the bootloader. It should be at 100% battery at this point i dont think that's the issue either

If the the phone appear in qualcom usb, flashing in EDL will be possible and requires an authorization that only official repairers have.

It's not booting, he doesn't want to get into edl. It's showing no reaction. But he could try pressing power button for 1min and look for vibration
To try to restore the phone yourself, you must use commands in fastboot or adb.

the power button for a minute didnt do anything either sadly. Im trying to get into edl so i can try and recover it with QPST, but even after opening the phone up and trying to get into edl through hardware, i was only able to get the red charging light to start showing whilst charging. Should I try to disconnect and reconnect the battery maybe?

Yep, can't hurt at this point.
You can try this:
Recharge the battery for at least 1 hour (even if you think it is already charged)
after connect it by usb and press the power button first,power button with volume -, button with volume +, and try to see if it appears on the pc and in what way.

Dead boot

Hello, please help. I have a big problem.
I just flashed custom ROM and the installation was successful. When I restarted the phone, it stopped at the "Samsung Galaxy" logo and did not complete and then restarted automatically in this case. I tried to enter twrp, but to no avail. I also tried Entering the download mode, but also it does not work
I hope that someone will help me, and is this how the phone was damaged, or is there hope to recover it?
Try holding power and volume down for over 20 seconds, after the phone reboot keep holding those keys and hope you get into download mode

Honestly, no, I haven't tried jaw before But I waited until the battery ran out and tried again to insert the download, but it didn't work either,,, I have a question I first formatted and then installed the ROM, then it succeeded, but after the word “installation was successful” there were words in red “failed mount system root” Then I flashed the rest of the ROM files, then I thought it was over, so I restarted, but it stopped at the "samsung galay - secured by Knox" logo. It does not continue and then restarts itself in this case and does not stop until the battery runs out and stops then I tried to enter the recovery but to no avail and also the same thing with the download mode,, summarizing all this does the phone need a motherboard, or that the matter can be solved?

It can be solved. It doesn't need a motherboard.
Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
