Hello, i have flashed lineage os 18.1 and gapps on Orange fox recovery, after i boot into system and the screen went black it's not opening i have tried
Holding the power button for 20 seconds
Connected to charger for a while
Not worked if anyone know a solution please let me know.
If you can't connect to the PC and it's completely non responsive... you got a brick. Assuming it's not a battery failure. Possible battery failure... if you're lucky.
Disconnect the battery or allow to fully discharge then try again to charge.
If your device is totally in black screen then maybe it is hardbricked and you may replace its motherboard

Hi All,
I wonder if you may be able to help. This morning we discovered one of our S7 phones was a black screen with solid blue light. It seemed completely unresponsive to touch, wouldn't wake. etc. The home, volume and power buttons seemed to do nothing. I plugged the phone into the computer, it didn't pick up a USB device.
Phone is stock from EE in the UK. No custom anything. Model: SM-930F 32GB.
EE and Samsung couldn't suggest anything to help.
We tried Power + Volume Down - This results in one of the following;
A (A battery with the current fill %) this happens when plugged in
B (Samsung Galaxy S7 powered by android) loading screen which then cycles or returns to a black screen with solid blue LED
We also tried Power + Volume Down + Home button. This does load the Warning screen about using a custom OS.
We have next day replacement warranty on the phone, i don't need to fix this phone. We only want to try and recovered some data and photos
Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Hi, try turning off the App Power saving mode!! i had these problems also and it was caused by a app that cant handle the always on setting so when you use that app and then turn the phone in standby it will cause the freeze/black screen
Were you ever able to fix this problem? I just had it happen to me and I'm in the same situation.
This just happened to me. After an hour spent with tier II tech support, no progress.
You need to let the phone die completely. Once it's dead (and the blue light) is no longer dead, plug the phone into an OEM walk charger. In my situation,my s7 edge would vibrate to recognize the charge, than reset - before it could even build up a charge (so I thought). I left it alone for an hour or so, and amazingly, it booted up like normal.
Good luck!
I have this problem. How long will it take the battery to drain from fully charged with just the blue light on.
This just happened to me as well. I hope draining the battery works. This occurred when my battery drained and the phone turned off. When I tried to turn it back on after letting it charge for a few minutes it looked like it started to boot, then went to a black screen with a solid blue light. No button combination has any effect.
EDIT: Waiting until the battery died and then attempting to charge the phone has had no effect. No combination of keys has an any effect, either.
EDIT #2: I've taken my phone into the Verizon store. They tell me it's an issue with software and the phone is dead. They said this is "rare". Considering what I see here, I can't say how rare I find it. I have insurance, so they're replacing it, but now they're not keeping up their end of the deal on when the replacement phone will be delivered.
Flash it!
I had the exact same symptoms. What did the trick for me was draining out the battery and then fully charging it, WITHOUT TURNING ON the phone. If you do turn it on, you need to drain it out again. When the phone was fully charged I booted up the download mode and flashed the stock firmware with Odin. That was it, my Galaxy S7 was fully functioning again.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Just experienced kinda the same problem.
S7 died overnight on the charger. I was lucky to wake up on my own.
Just blue led.
I let it drain out over the day so it turned off (vol- + power no working).
Charged it a bit and try to go to recovery: loaded recovery but completely frozen.
I let it drain again and recharged it after it turned off.
Then I went to DL mode and reflashed latest carrier stock rom. AP. CP. BL. CSC. All.
Flashed fine! After rebooting it said "erasing...", rebooted and is back to the blue led only.
Strongly suggesting a hw issue at this point.
I'll let it drain again, fully recharge it, flash a non branded stock rom. If that wont work i'll probably need to bring it to my carrier on monday. Too bad its friday...
//Phone is r.i.p. even after a re flash of stock fw with full battery it only boots to blue led.
//Phone even deader. No more response in any way.
(some time later)
//Just received the repair report. The mainboard and some minor components were replaced under warranty even though my phone was rooted. Good thing for me it never turned on again.
Hey guys dropped my mi5s plus the phone will show black screen after mi logo then black screen then power off..
Everything was kept stock on this phone.
Holding power+vol down= fast boot
Holding power+vol up= battery icon in the centre of the screen..
Any suggestions? I am a complete beginner so take it easy on me

fastboot and recovery are ok
does device switch off automatically in fastboot mode ?
I think problem is battery discharged completely and it is not charging
Phone dropped ≠ bricked, it seems more like phone dropped = phone damaged.

Hi,
I have the same problem, but the phone is charging normally...
Phone fell from about 30 cm (with screen to the floor) and turned off. Since then I'm unable to turn it on. I have mi logo, then mi logo with android sign, I feel a vibration and screen turns black. Buttons are flashing for about 10-20 seconds and phone turns off.
I'm unable to flash it with miflash (it's locked and even the global/chinese rom doesn't suit). I tried with wipe and chinese pc suite, but nothing helps.
Edit: OK, it was charging normally I think, but for now it's stuck on 59% and doesn't charge at all...

No, I don't have one. But my firmware doesn't support deep flashing anymore.
Hard brick
Hi,
After installing EU.Rom, my MI5s Plus turned into hard brick. Nothing works anymore. It does show in device manager, but that´s it. Also not noticed in MI Flash Tool.
In CMD (ADB and Fastboot) it says "device not attached". I have read about Deep Flash, but have no idea how to use this or where to buy it.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a lot.

Hello all,
on friday night my Samsung S6 Duos just died and it seems I'm not able to revive it...
it was running out of charge (was at 5-10% battery)...then suddenly the screen went black and the red led was blinking every second or so...
I thought it was just hung like it happened sometimes, so I tried to reset it pressing vol down+power or home+power buttons, but nothing happened....screen still black and red led flashing....
so I thought it was some kind of battery problem...tried to recharge but nothing changed...no battery icon on screen and red led flashing (not solid as when it is charging...)...
so, since battery cannot be pulled off I waited till complete discharge hoping that would reset it....waited till led was not flashing anymore, then I tried to recharge but nothing is happening....led not becoming red as when it's charing, nor display is showing battery charging....
actually nothing happens, I've tried to leave it charging several hours, both with power cord and with wireless charget, but it just doesn't charge and doesn't power up anymore...also tried to connect it to PC but nothing happens...
do you think that opening it and trying to disconnect and reconnect battery could solve? or maybe changing battery?
or is it probably a fault in the motherboard?
I just want to recover photos and other data saved on its memory but if it's motherborard issue I think everything's lost...right? 'cause memory chips are on it...or am I wrong?
thanks for any hints or suggestions on how to recover if possible...
Hello,
I am quite familar with samsung devices and flashing etc. but my friends phone died today I suppose. At some point it got stuck and got into a bootloop. After some reboots it tried to find a ota update.zip, but there was none. After some tries I got into download mode, but flashing a stock image (was stock before as well, never seen root or something) did help at first (it booted, we backupped some stuff) but at some point it got stuck into bootloop again.
This time, when going into recovery, it tried flashing a firmware again, however this ended badly (freeze while flashing). Now it's not even charging anymore. Not a single button combination is working (force reboot, recovery, download mode, ...) and when plugging into a power bank, it doesn't even charge anymore (power bank shows if a device is charging). So it's completely back and unnoticed by odin, adb or fastboot. Does anyone know this problem or have an idea, what we could try? My last idea would be to test a wireless charger, which i sadly do not have at hand.
Thanks!

If it's not showing any signs of life and will not charge then it's a hardware problem, you should start with the obvious like the usb connector. You are going to have to open the phone and check usb connection, battery connection etc. but it may be easier to take to repair shop.

but when it died the first time, i was able to flash the stock image; after it rebooted, it was charging perfectly fine until it died again. from that point on, i was not able to get any sign of life anymore... maybe something crashed that badly and it's still running and i have to wait for the battery to completely drain, so it can do something again? or is the charging process completely hardware dependent, so a crash shouldnt do anything?

the way to test if it has power but blank screen is to hold power+volume down+home. If it has power it will turn off and boot into download mode
After the Forst Crash all such combinations didnt Seen to work either. Once odin recognized is while having a black screen. At that point I flashed stock :/ but still, not even the led was showing something
Hi all,
I hope that someone can provide some advice. My Nexus is shutting down shortly after boot. Happens with Lineage 17.1 and 18.1. Battery is full. Power button is not stuck.
It worked before with Lineage 17.1 and then it started to shutdown and after a fresh install of Lineage 18.1 it also shuts down during boot or shortly after.
What I have tested:
1. it will not shutodwon when in boot loader
2. it will not shutdown when in TWRP mode
3. it will not shutdwon in Lineage when connected to a charger
So any idea why it shuts down when no charger is connected even with full battery? Which logs could I look into?
Kind regards,
am
Sounds like hardware sensor failure to me, how many amps are being drawn by the device? check with something like gsam battery monitor, also check the voltage is being detected properly
You could try checking logcat logs ("adb logcat") when unplugging the charger but you may find nothing there
Thank you for your reply. Well it looks like either the battery or other H/W is broken. The device now even shuts down randomly when connected to the charger. I managed to boot it only after battary was completly depleted for some time and then charged it again and it started. But after some time it started to shutdown randomly again and it won't even fully boot.. I have another N5 here so I may exchange the batteries and see if this is the cause but I think it is something else.
