ok so my (edit) *Vibrant is not booting up...
I press the power button, the vibrant turns on, logo pops up, boot animation, Tmobile animation and galaxy s animation plus sound all happened, The phone gets to the lock screen and within 3 seconds just shuts down.
Anyone know what could be wrong.
Phone is stock, neither romed or rooted. is this a battery issue, hardware or software
Does it boot up when you have it charging? And which phone is it, the Vibrant or the Captivate? Those are 2 different phones.

sorry simple mistake, it is a tmobile vibrant...
it boots up when plugged in and when not plugged in... gets to the lock screen and it just waits and then shuts down completely.

If you can boot into stock recovery/download mode, just do a factory reset or flash the stock rom using odin

Maybe you have a defective bootloader or phone. If it's still under warranty, just bring it back to T-Mobile and exchange it.
was trying to fix a vibrant for a friend of mine with a very similar problem
after many hours of work w/ odin & attempting to flash different things.. i concluded that it was hardware related bc i made it all the way to stock but it would just shut down randomly
does it give any sort of message when it shuts off? or just goes black?
have you dropped it a lot?

im starting to think its hardware related as well. at time when i boot into stock recovery the battery logo just shows up, the android man with the the exclamation point. idk if up to a certain level of currect is drained the battery shorts out. how can i possibly test the battery??
There is no message or anything... as soon as it boots up to the lock screen it just goes black.
i just acquired this phone. I have a HTC Glacier that i use for my everyday. this used to be my friends old phone and it started doing this, he just got another one and gave me this said if i could fix it i could have it to mess around with. as far as i know it hasnt experienced much rough and tough life. on the outside it looks almost brand new.
So I bought a brand new battery and the vibrant won't even charge the new battery...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
sorry to revive this but did you try cleaning the battery contacts?
You probably moved on with life lol
Guys, last night I tried to update to 2.3.4 on my Vibrant, and after Odin was finished, the phone turned itself off, and now is nothing but a black screen. No touch lights, no lights on the screen, nothing. I made sure everything was for the Vibrant, so I'm rather unsure of what happened.
I can't get it into download mode, and I can't get it into recovery. Basically, the thing is pretty lifeless right now.
Any help would be appreciated! I really don't want to lose this thing.
Any reactions when u put cable on phone?

Are you sure you made sure everything was for the Vibrant? T959 and not the T959v (4g version). We never had an official GB ROM, as our updates stopped at Froyo (JFD). Can you link me to what it was that you flashed via Odin? Did you get it from this section? or This Section?
Let's see what you respond with and then we will have a better chance to diagnose properly.
Hi all,
Got a Rogers HTC one off of craigslist a few months ago which was already flashed to stock 4.3... worked great. Just yesterday I got a prompt on my phone asking me if I wanted to update to 4.4. "Sure, it cant be too hard?" I thought. Maybe its that I'm novice, but it didn't end up looking so simple. Soon the device asked me if I wanted to continue, saying this is not reversible so I said yes, then another message, I said yes again.. the device then turned off, then back on and there was a black screen with white letters and a loading bar.. when it finished i think it asked me another question about backing up the ruu or something like that and I said no... the phone turned off and tried to reboot, first the white with HTC quietly brilliant, then the google logo for half a second and then right to a light plue pixelated screen with little lines in it.. every time I hold the power button to turn off it turns back on and same thing. Is this whats called a boot loop? Did I do something wrong? At one point I tried turning off and then holding power and volume buttons to get into bootloader and it worked.. I didn't really know what to do so I just told it to reboot and it did but with same blue screen. I've been reading a lot of threads on here but I didn't see anything quite like this. Sorry for the long post. I'd really appreciate it if someone would help me out here.
Thank you.

not sure what what RUU is compared to whats on it standard, but even so the phone doesnt turn on. windows makes noises when plugging it up like it connects/disconnects over and over but adb and fastboot just sit on <waiting for device>.

was past that deadline before the issues began and yeah i was looking at a riff box option though im not sure what im looking for or what i would do when i get it...
oh well plenty of time for research =)
Not sure if I'm having the same issue or not
I was having charging issues for a while (only when powered off and insanely slow charge with hyperfast drain) and then one morning I go to turn it on because it appeared to have died while on the charger. It booted to the white HTC screen with the red type on it and that's it, I can fastboot and ADB but I'm not sure what is the best route of recovery or even if I want to recover it, the phone has been a problem since i got it. I didn't have time to monkey with it and just went out and got an LG G2 instead. I liked the HTC but I need a phone that wont randomly go on strike. Open to suggestions since I'm not dependent on the One at the moment Im not worried if it bricks or anything as long as eventually it works and I can make it my Game Device at least.
Hi everyone. Thank you for reading.
I am posting for help with a friend's phone. I, personally, have an S3 on Sprint and haven't had much experience with T-Mobile phones. He has rooted his S5 (T-Mobile, obviously) using galaxys5root.com (I'm now not fond of that site due to his bad experiences that consistently happen) and has not put a new ROM on yet. It has been successfully rooted for several weeks, but today he went to text someone a response and the screen went black, and the blue notification light breathes. It also does a light vibrate, like when you are turning it on. He's getting a replacement anyway, but we want to unroot it before sending in the defective device. I'm wondering (and to my knowledge it seems like) if it's a boot loop. Nothing shows up on the screen at all, not even the back light is coming on. I have yet to connect it to Odin to see if anything comes up. I'm just seeing if this has happened to anyone else and if they have figured out a way to resolve it. My suspicion is that there's a problem with either the boot sector or the recovery sector, as it does not go into recovery.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

It sounds like the LCD display has gone bad if the vibration and blue light function normally but you cannot see anything ever.
When they get the new device you might want to suggest that they follow the rooting instruction in this forum on XDA instead of going to a website to do it. Just my opinion.
We are thinking the LCD is bad as well, it just feels like a boot loop because the light vibration keeps happening (I forgot to mention that). Sometimes the blue light will go out and the phone will vibrate lightly and then the blue other starts breathing. It's just repeating that non-stop. I had to pull the battery.
As for him rooting through here, I told him to with his S4 and S5 but he didn't listen. The S4 took a crap, and now the S5 took a crap. I told him I think it's that site. The method is correct but who knows where those flash files come from... I've never had any issues rooting through here, just an occasional reset here and there, nothing as major as this.

Normally, even in a boot loop you see the initial Galaxy splash screen when it first starts booting. Then you see it over and over again. If you see nothing, it normally means the LCD is bad and unfortunately it's the most expensive part of the phone.
Good Luck with it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the device is rebooting itself trying to fix a hardware fault. Might be detecting the LCD has stopped forcing itself to reboot.
But yeah, stick to XDA from now on We are good people here Welcome to the family!
