I was flashing a new rom. And after it said 100% on the phone it turned black and never lit up again. I waited i didnt pull out the usb. 15 min later i checked it again still black. i pulled the usb out. hit the power button and nothing happend. i did a hard reset and still the phone wount power on. The phone's charging led light wount even come on when i plug it up. So i assume i have bricked me phone ?
I have HSPL3
miri19v
froyostone 3.1v
is there any way to bring it back to life or do i toss it in the trash?
thanks for the help
i have also tried to go into boot loader and NIL!
from your use of the word 'trash' can i assume you have a tmous hd2? if so, what did you flash? was it a non tmous stock rom (meaning a bad radio)?
(oh, first job tho, check for bent battery pins)
the pins are fine. yeah i was actually flashing a stock tmou rom.
got the full filename for the rom you downloaded please? (just checking you havent downloaded a t mobile rom that isnt tmous)
the reason im pushing that line of enquiry is that the symptoms you describe are consistent with either
wrong radio (from the wrong stock rom)
bent battery pin
over discharged battery
to test the over discharged battery you can take it out, plug usb in with wall charger, then put battery in. this lets it charge without trying to turn on the phone. the light may not come one for some time, so leave it a good hour or two.
Hey Sam,
I'm having this issue too. I am relatively positive it's from an over-discharged battery. The phone conked out a few nights ago, and later when trying to charge it I got nothing - until yanking the battery for a bit, plugging in the charger, then popping in the battery. Now, every time the battery drains I have to do this.
Is the battery "damaged" now, or do you have any suggestions to fix the prob? I see this posted a bit but no one has any solutions that I've found.
Thanks!
Ryan
well i know the principals of these batteries, but not really the mechanics, so yes id guess the battery is defective, (but it could be the phones internal battery control circuits too, again just guessing) but no i dont know if there is a cure, other than try another battery, and if it cures it, ok, but if not then it would be a warranty issue.
are you using android? cos from what ive read it discharges quickly under android or something? (never used it so cant tell)
So, got a phone from a friend, X10 - not rooted, which does not work at all.
Whenever I want to turn it on, LED just blinks 3 times, that's all I "got"
I have tried removing battery, SDCard and SIM Card but still no go!
Any idea or help would be much appreciated
try this
use the flash tool and reflash a 2.1 sony rom you can easily get your phone to dev mode even with out having to turn it on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
you must get back on track after that!
Ok, will try it
Not working, Downloaded Flash Tool and 2.1 *.ftf image, when I press flash and select image, I press on back button and connect X10, but no go, Flash toll says: 9/044/2011 17:44:23 - INFO - Searching Xperia....
19/044/2011 17:44:23 - ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
And X10 only gives impulsing red LED light!
Try with SEUS, wich will install the flash drivers for X10 in your PC, I assume you're using Windows.
Or look for these drivers, can't give you the link right now, some research will help.
I installed PcCompanion before Flash Toll, will try with this software, but I am sure it will be same...will see soon!
bah....same
a few months back ago i remember someone solving this problem... try searching the forums
NVM. Found it, there you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944322&highlight=red+led+death
Nice one, will try it later today!
Does not help, after I connect it to charger (with removed battery) there is green light, but after I add battery after one/two mins led turns off, and whatever I press Xperia does not respond!
I tried than removing it from charger and turning on, but same, no response, after I remove and add battery, if I try to turn it on Red LED of death is still here.....
...nosi u servis..nema druge ))
If u can mesure the battery voltage, and if is below 3V it seems the battery will not receive any more current and the phone need more power to bootup than charger can provide, or phone detect the low level and don't start. This is a theory. If it's above 3.7V the problem is from other part.

the ultima looks like k800i with full touch scree. i like it!!!
hey Benko, if ya dont want it, ill take it off your hands, ill even pay shipping!
had to ask
I tested my theory about battery level and seems to be right at first look. I put a DC power supply instead of the battery an if i put about 3.2 V and below then i connect the usb cable to PC the phone don't start only flash a red led and start pumping about 3.6V for charging the li--poly battery. so the problem seems to be the battery. The problem with li-poly battery is if them drop voltage below 3.4 V is very hard to charge them back.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Now what u have is to try to put about 4V on the phone terminals an to see if it starts.
go to ebay and buy a new battery
The evidence points to a bad battery. Head to your local wireless store and ask them for a compatible battery to test it out.
Charge the battery with a 5VDC power source, take one usb cable and cut it to get the wires, then use the computer or the original charger to force some juice into the battery.

Possible solution!!!

Well, i may be wrong, but as i have been able and still use batteries that already have completed 10 years i can tell that (not confirmed) this battery starts at 3.2v and is fully charged near 4v.
I just checked my battery is charged at 90% and measuring it i got 3,93v
The best way to know for sure if it is the battery or not is to get a source with at least 500ma to supply a recharge directly to your battery, if it starts getting hot above like 40ºc you should disconnect wait to cool and reconnect until gets near at least 3,9v.
To make sure the battery is charging try to measure the amount of current ma it is charging at.
If the battery is nearly dead or dead it will still charge but in speeds like less then 10ma above this it will be charging but will take a day maybe, but you must take care on this, the current will grow as the battery gets charged exponentially.
Once charged at near 3,9v input the battery without closing the back cover and check if it works.
Wait it to cool**** you need to wait really at least a bit so you can notice if it is getting hot again on next step.
Once the phone turns on, check if the battery is getting hot again even a bit.
The battery can't get to hot only by turning the phone on, if this happens your phone can have one of two problems:
Phone has a short, sorry, damm.
Phone has a software(rom) that is draining the power.
Using external power to connect to the phone while it is connect to usb or power source can break your phone, don't do that never.
Charging voltage must be at start near 4v to 4,5v, if it gets to charge to fast keep an eye on it to not get too hot, it can even blow if passes beyond 70ºc (i melt plastic once doing this, rsrs)
I hope this works, took me awhile to check the correct voltage for this, rsrsrsrs
Sorry if this has been already posted but I kinda need to express my anger. lol
So my rooted Rezound's battery (running CleanROM 2.3) died today while i was working. So being the dude I am I put it on the charger. It's been on a charger for the past 30ish minutes and it still wont turn on or give me any type of led indicator telling me that the phone is being charged.
Before you say "try a different charger or cable" I have, multiple times.
[/RANT]
Advise?
The phone won't charge a that's completely dead right away. Leave it plugged in longer.

There are many threads on this already...
The rezound, mostly ones with a 3.8v battery not the 3.7v batteries cannot charge a dead battery.
Check some of the other threads as there were a bunch of different little tricks people tried. I just don't remember them all.

Sorry to hear about the battery issues. I've heard of alot of people complaining of the same problem. Most just went to Verizon and had them replace the battery but having a phone that dies and won't recharge would be my biggest worry (why is HTC letting these kind of issues happen?).
Some said they fixed the issue by throwing the dead battery in a Thunderbolt for a bit to charge it up. So if you cant find a fix, either have them replace the battery, or take it in the store and ask them to put it in a thunderbolt for like 20 minutes while you wait?
Sorry that I couldn't come up with a better fix for you. I wish you luck.
Honestly I'd take it back to Verizon and get them to replace/fix it.
I just read another post with a possibly fix. I will not be held responsible if it doesnt work or messes something up
Unplug charger
remove battery
plug charger in
insert battery (while charger is plugged in)
except i hit the power with no battery in it idk if it makes a difference but yeah..
^^^ worked for me

I wish I saw this before I paid $14 for the overnight shipment of my replacement.
Mine froze and died while playing a game, then would not charge or turn on at all. In fact, my extended battery was in when it died, and it wouldn't turn on with the standard battery either. When I got my replacement, I tried both and only the extended worked, so I had to go to VZ to get a replacement standard battery. My phone must've used some sort of battery ESP to kill the standard when it died.
Quick side rant and warning: 1. WhyTF am I paying for overnight shipping on a like-new replacement model of a $300 phone that died during normal use? Horse dookie.
2. If you do need a replacement, dont activate a 3g phone during the down time...it kills the SIM card and they dont send another one!
I think I can help
plug your phone into the charger and take off the back cover. Now with the phone plug in take the battery out and put it back in and leace the back cover off now you should see the orange light on the front come on. If this works hit the thanks button.
try the fix listed above and if that doesnt work a verizon store should be able to help you test your battery/phone and order you a replacement under warranty if neccessary
Me personally would wip out some split cables and force that **** on lol but yea batteries can be charged as long as some form of reasonable electricity touch the correct pins....
I had this happen once, my son ran it dead playing games. I think it must have over heated. I was using the extended battery and was able to put the regular battery in and it worked. I did give it a half hour to cool down first...

Hi all,
My phone cut out at about 10% battery charge earlier and wouldn't turn back on. I thought it was probably just bad battery stats. But now I'm home, even after an hour on charge (and 30 mins on another charger) the phone won't turn on. It also shows up as an unrecognised device in device manager.
Whats weird is that when I first plug the charger in, rather than seeing the blue battery logo, I see an unfamiliar green battery logo as attached.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? (Tried booting with the volume up and volume down buttons held)
It's also come at quite a frustrating time, I may not be able to reply until Sunday night as I'm off camping in the sticks for the weekend.
Thanks
Plug your charger and Try to keep holding the power button for 1 min.....maybe start

Sadly that didn't work.
The battery appears to now be taking a charge (300mA/h according to a USB multimeter), but I haven't been able to even get SP flash tools to recognise the handset sadly.

That is the conclusion I'm coming to, sadly there doesn't seem to be a UK stockist of the battery yet, but I guess in the mean time I can see if the seller will honour any form of warranty on the product. For now, I'm back on my old G3 and it doesn't even begin to compare. I loved my Elephone.
Bad luck my friend.....I have a samsung galaxy 2 and one day run out of battery and never awake again....weird things
I think it should be cover with warranty.....Is one year in China
Type a email to Elephone support and they must be assist you because the phone is less than one year in the marketing.
I hope you will have a possitive news from Elephone
Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on.
I have the same problem a while ago with the green thing logo while charging , I even try it on wireless charger but it has the same thing with the green logo of battery ...but luckily it charge normally with blue logo
I have seen this on my screen a few times when I ****ed my bootloader during flashing. Device ended up being semi-bricked. I could not flash via SPtools because my device didn't get recognized. I was able to fix it luckily!
Hi all, sorry for the delay in responding.
So, the first problem was the battery. You need to charge it beyond 3.8v I think to get the phone to turn on, probably better to get it to 4v so you have enough charge stored to use the phone. The phone can't charge the battery below a certain threshold (around 3.7v) so you have to remove the battery and use a lithium-ion battery charger (any phone battery charger), these are available for about £2 on ebay.
In my phone the USB port had also stopped working for data transfer. I tried changing the board with the USB port on to no avail.
I replaced everything but the screen in the end to get it working.
Are/were you on stock OS or had you replaced it with another rom? Just for a bit more clarity of the problem.
I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
