Hi guys, my wife's stock X2 appears to be a brick. The screen just went black and now won't turn back on. No lights, logos or any signs of life. Tried different chargers and cables without success.
Is it bricked? Is there a way to see if it's the battery that's suddenly died?
Would love to keep it going, she loves the size, and there seems to be nothing out there to replace it with. (That's got a tablet screen size and still operates as a phone and suits Telstra Australia bands)

The only way to find out is replace the battery and see. It could be the battery.

hi everyone, I have a challenge for you...
My MZ604 Wifi Xoom is completely unresponsive. No boot logo, no screen nothing.
A few months ago I flashed a US stock to get a hold of the ISC update. it went off without a hitch and I was very happy with it.
A few weeks ago I picked it up and it was black and not booting, even to the logo. Nothing.
The only things that light up are the white charging light when it is plugged in.
When I plug in the USB (Win7x64) it registers as a Motorola Flash Interface and charges through my computer- but not all the time.
I have tried many combinations of button pressing and holding, and the only indications I get that it is working underneath the black screen are the white front light going on and off and the device registering in device manager.
Oh, and it makes the battery low sound when low on battery, which i hope is a good sign.
Adb fastboot does not recognise the device no matter that I do.
Has anyone ever come back from this???
Desperate,

This might be a case for the Motorola Programming cable from the Black Hat Team (google it). You can also make one. There are instructions somewhere in one of these threads.
Have you tried to take the cover off and remove the batter(ies)? Look for the thread with instructions for that. You will need a Torx screwdriver (#5?).
I'll bet you can bring it back.
thanks okantomi,
I just ordered a torx set, hopefully a battery disconnect will work.
Very hard to figure this out, every single search i made for 'bricked xoom' came up with silly buggers with frozen boot screens. Not a real brick at all...
If you don't hear from me again, assume it's fixed!
Thank again
Good luck!
We havent hear from you since so hopefully you fixed your xoom!
Can you share your experience for whoever has simmilar issue....
Thanks
&
Good Luck
Hi all,
Yesterday I plugged my phone in when I went to sleep. When I woke up, I noticed it wasn't charging, and I couldn't turn it on. I tried to plug it in to my computer with no success. I also tried to remove the battery, and launch it into recovery mode. It seems that my only option left is to try and get a replacment. That being said, I was wondering if I could possibly get it replaced with the EVO V? Or would I be stuck getting a new Triumph? Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how I might be able to get it working again, that would be great.
Any help is appreciated.
also i checked the website, Triumph is 280 bucks while the evo is 260 (20% off)

Hey man i have a triumph with a dead charger port. I went on amazon and bought this ........
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007NLTKPA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
It comes with two batteries that way you can charge one while you are using the other one. Plus the batteries are 1600mAh as opposed to the 1320mAh one that came with your phone! Works like a charm for me. Just have to charge them externally like a digital camera battery!
my battery was dead, i went to amazon and ordered this

Hello, my niece brought me an faulty s6 and asked if i could fix it. Since i used to repair peoples phones a few years ago.
When i got it, it was completely dead, except a white light of doom on the led bulb when i tried to boot in DLmode/recovery. That later stopped lighting too. I then tried to change the battery for a new one. It didn't change a thing, so i thought it might be the charging port. So i got a qi charger...
So here we are, the qi charger tries to charge it (i can see the light animation for it). The phone gets warm but no sign of any juice to the battery..
Can't see any next steps that are worthwhile..
I would really like to get the data off the phone tho..
Any ideas?

Do you get any sign of life plugging into a pc? Adb is your best bet to get data but you need to be careful using it.

Nope, no life at all. Don't think I'll be able to salvage this one
my mother has given me her galaxy S6 that may be possibly hard bricked. she already got an upgrade done for an s*, so she isnt in dire need of getting it working, except to get her pictures and files off it.
it started off when it was turned off and charging over night, and had the battery logo showing fully charged in the morning. unplugged the phone, and it just would not turn on at all. plugged it back in, and no lights or anything on screen would show.
She works at a local best buy, and spoken with one of the samsung experts there, and they informed that it could be a bad battery.
she ordered a replacement battery off amazon, fast forward a couple days, it comes in, and i replace the battery.
it still does not power on at all, even with attempting to boot to recovery, download mode, or anything.
the only thing different since replacing the battery is that now the led at the top of the phone just lights up white, and thats it. the only way to turn it off is it open it up and unplug the battery.
is there anything i could do or try to see if i can get any life out of it before declaring it dead?
The long version of the problem is the phone (ATT model) started having severe battery life issues, to the point where it would go dead in a few hours and then even when it was on the charger it would not reach 100%. If I remember right it would shut off but still charge, then boot up, sometimes but then die. Then one day it just wouldn't turn on and wouldn't charge, no red charging indicator, nothing. It sat like that for maybe a year. Recently I realized there are pictures on it which I had not backed up (because I was looking for them and couldn't find them anywhere else). So I ordered a couple used OEM Samsung batteries on eBay. Good seller, well rated, even agreed to charge up the batteries before sending them to me.
They arrived yesterday, I swapped the batteries today and the phone is still unresponsive. I tried both batteries and got the same result as the original battery. The original battery is puffy/bloated and the new (used) ones are not. So the original battery is/was indeed a problem, but could a bad battery have fried something else in the phone? I tried holding the power and volume down buttons for 10 seconds a few times, also other various button combinations for 10 seconds, multiple times but I still get nothing. I have a USB voltage/amperage meter and it started out showing the phone taking only 0.46 A, then started falling slowly to 0.02 A where it is now. Voltage is a steady 5.11. My computer also does not detect anything when I connect it.
Is there anything more that can be done to revive the phone or retrieve the pictures from it? I assume someone who is capable at BGA soldering could possibly remove the memory chip and put it on another board? Any ideas other than that? The pictures on there are from a trip to Australia and that's a trip that won't be happening again. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
