Sorry bro, but if your phone is not turning on, no matter what you do, then its probably a hard brick. Time of a J-tag. I dont know if a USB Jig will work for you, but it could force your phone into download mode and you can connect to odin to go back to stock. Besides that or a Jtag, theres nothing else you can do; if your phone doesn't turn on even if you connect the charger. PS. You should have posted this in the i9000 Q&A forums, since you'll get better help there than here, as that place is device specific while here is a General Q&A.

Phone not powering up

Ok, so i am an idiot in terms of phones. I came to this site, ccause I KNOW that alot of intelligent people are there, and my question is.
So i have an Alcatel one touch idol ultra 6033x, and it does not power up. It charges and the blue led does glow when i connect it., but it doesnt boot up when i hold power. Nothing happens, no logo, nothing. I would like to know if it is possible to restore this phone without having to pay hundreds of dollars in a service. If its possible how can i do it.
Also, it started this way. I was watching youtube and it turned off cause of battery. I pluged it into the charger, It turned on but it was stuck on android logo, and after like 15 minutes i turned it off by holding the button. After that point it didnt work. Its not a soft brick, because it does not boot up and i dont think its a hardbrick, because when i tried using sp flash tool it did somehow detect it. Btw it was rooted but this didnt pose any problems until now.

Exynos S8+ flashed TWRP now wont boot

Hi, decided today to bite the bullet and finally root my S8+, however wish I didnt!
Flashed it with the correct version of ODIN an the correct version of TWRP, process went through ok and the phone re booted, however it stuck on the samsung splash screen.
It was stuck for about an hour so I powered it down (think it was the volume down and power button for 7 seconds). this turned the phone off but now it wont turn back on again. I have tried recovery mode etc but nothing. Connecting the charger doesnt light up the led either.
Phone is not recognised if connected to a pc either (including ADB)
Is this a total brick ?
Cheers
Ok spoke with samsung, they will replace the mainboard under warranty
I don't think it was a total brick, sometimes takes a few minutes of holding the 3 key to get to a reboot into download mode when TWRP is mux'ed. There are a few other key combos that can sometimes work as well. It is kinda scary, however, my experience with these phones is that they are pretty durable. Seems to take a lot to really brick'em.
If you installed TWRP correctly, you need to have your phone completely off. Then press and hold the Up, Bixby, and Power button. As soon as you see the Samsung S8+ logo, release the power button. This'll boot you into recovery.
Thanks guys but the phone was totally bricked. No key combi action would work phone wouldn't turn on or charge. Took it to a samsung service centre yesterday and they replaced the mainboard under warranty for me. Interestingly as I was handing over my phone they went through the terms and conditions and said that software modification would mean that the phone would not be covered.(I didn't say anything about what I had attempted).
I am on the Samsung beta program for Oreo, so I wonder if the bootloader was the issue
Just so you know, if they do get it operational and find you have altered the software/kernel/recovery then you can expect a call to let you know how much it will cost to fix...
Just an FYI...

What i am about to say is assuming that youve also tried to get the phone into download mode with the correct button press combo without any success
if the phone is going to be recoverable by methods most normal xda users are able to physically do, then youre going to need a couple of things. First and foremost a charged battery. If the battery drained so much that it wont even boot anymore, then we wont be able to help much past that. If the battery is charged, but the phone still wont boot, then you might want to try a USB Jig. Amazon link to show you an example of a Jig. Jigs look like the end of an older style charging cable but without the actual cable part of it. They have jumpers in them shorting out 2 of the pins inside the connector which causes the phone to boot into download mode. You can make your own Jig if you cant locate one to purchase with this tutorial. That should get the phone into download mode and from there youre in a really good position to fully recover the phone to how it was before it crashed. Be prepared for the possibility that the phone is actually dead tho

Question Phone won't pass by the Samsung Galaxy and Powered by Android Logo (infinite loop)

Just received my S22 Ultra (SM-S908E/OS) with 256Gb / 12 GB RAM and it's in a infinit loop just right after the first time i powered on the phone.
It turns on, goes to the amsung Galaxy and Powered by Android Logo, then the screen turns black and turn it on again on the same logo..
I can't even shut it down.
Tried the poewer + up or down keys combination and it only goes to a Kernel Panic screen (not that recovery one - cant seem to access the recovery one in any means, even connected to a pc by cable).
Samsung support seems clueless, so thought i see if anyone has any other idead before returning this f*** brick.
Thanks!
Return it.
