Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

Pull battery for a few put back in then charge it on a wall charger while its still off for 30mins...Mobilego is sync software so unless he actually went through the process of going into recovery etc etc then chances are its the battery

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
press the camera button + power button.
Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

was running quicksense from about january dont know exactly which version.
phone completely died on me,
connected it to the charger and it turned on to the green "htc" logo,
but then it turns off..
so i tried booting to recover; holding volume down + power, with no luck.
tried it via connected to computer, no luck.
with & without batter still nothing..
weird thing is, SOMETIMES the charging light will keep blinking.
also SOMETIMES, the screen stays off, and the vibration feedback when pressing the home, menu, back, and search keys, virbates..
do i have the first bricked amaze or what?
--the search key "restarts the phone"
i can tell because the keys no longer make the phone vibrate when pressed after pressing the search key.
I'm betting my money on you having a earlier recovery installed that doesn't allow proper boot if the battery is dead... crappy part about that? it doesn't let the battery charge either... Find someone with an Amaze, or Sensation, charge your battery in their phone for 30 minutes, then try your phone again. Also, after your phone is charged, you probably want to reflash your recovery to a new one that doesn't exhibit this problem.
*just a wild guess, but it makes sense, it's happened to me*
*note, you could just have unrelated catastrophic hardware failure, lol*
As long as you have s - off you can't brick it.

S-Off isn't possible right now, S-On-Unlocked is safe. although having the recovery that doesn't support charging is like a temp-brick. You just need to charge your battery in another phone.
Or splice the battery directly to the wires for half an hour. That's how I charged when my charging port was the broked

Can you at least get into adb? You could try accessing it and then using adb to reboot into bootloader/recovery via "abd reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader"
Did this get resolved? Just wanted to know if my hunch was right.
It sounds like a dead battery. The blinking light means (from my experience) that its charging but not enough juice to use yet. Once my phone died and it blinked for a couple of minutes. I tried turning on, but battery wasn't juiced enough. After a few minutes, the light turned solid and was charging and had enough power to turn on.
I would try a new battery. Good news is you're not bricked, and most likely, not even soft bricked

Amazing Brick
I've had a very similar issue to those mentioned here. I have the latest cwm recovery installed (five point something). After wiping battery stats my amaze went into a cycle of booting up normally then automatically restarting after about 30 seconds. Now it shows the amber light while charging, but will not boot at all, not even into recovery. adb says device not recognized, and the amber light flashes periodically and shuts off if i press the power button... should I trash this phone and get a galaxy s II ?

Does the phone charge when you plug it in?
I was driving somewhere with my wife this morning and I had my phone plugged into the charger. All of a sudden, the phone just turned off. Nothing I've tried will turn it back on. If it is on the charger, there is no LED light. The phone is just dead.
I've tried holding the power button down for a minute or more. I tried the power button and volume down trick. Nothing. Nada.
If I can't get this thing working tonight, I will head to the Sprint store in the morning. I am expecting an important phone call tonight and I need to do something. Argh!
I've searched the issue and I've seen other people have had this issue, but no resolution that works for me yet. The only thing has been getting a new phone.

Try pluging the phone in to the charger and then unplug it and then plug it in again. I have noticed on mine that sometimes when I plug it in to charge the led will light up like its charging but it wont be charging, it will be discharging.
if you can charge your battery with an external charger do a shock to the battery .
maybe your battery is sleep.

Uhhh. Non-removable battery. Else, great idea: I've used that trick with removable batteries.
What happens if you plug the phone into the computer via USB instead of using the charger. Does it come on/charge then? Do you get the "USB device connected" sound from the computer?

QHUSB_DLOAD means that your phone is in emmc recovery mode. There's a tool out there for the EVO 3D called emmc_recover which can make it possible for you to flash images to partitions while in this mode. (this is the same tool that is used in the Evo 3D Hboot 1.5 downgrade method). I wonder if the same tool can be used in this case to flash a new hboot?

Hi,
My vibrant will not turn on when on battery (NOTHING appears on the screen when power button pressed). When plugged in, the charging screen appears and it appears to be charging, but if I press the power button, nothing happens. I have tried holding volume up and down and power button, but this does nothing whether its plugged in and charging or its on battery.
Before this happened it was restarting over and over when I was trying to charge it.
So in conclusion the only screen I can get is the battery charging screen, that is it. This entire time I have been testing the sim card and sd card have been removed.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks
More info, did this happen after you flashed something? are you aquainted with Odin1.85, AIO toolbox is a great place to start. If I can help in any way i will.
This happened after normal use, it was actually after the battery died and I tried to charge it with a car charger, and then the phone just kept resetting over and over. It wouldnt get very far in the start up process. But I did not flash it. I am not familiar with any of that but I can give it a try.
Thanks

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery will not charge. Just for future reference, sometimes a car charger can damage your phone's battery, even completely kill it. When you press the gas pedal your car's battery charge fluctuates and can damage your phone that way, rare but it happens. Not to say that's the case here but it could also be a custom ROM. I was running a custom ROM called lithium volt and if the battery completely died the phone would not boot back up, even when plunged into a charger. Some roms a require certain amount of battery power to boot up.

It doesnt lock the phone, it doesnt shut down the phone, I get no response. So I think my problem before was simply the power button was not working. Has any one had this problem, can I fix it?

That's unfortunate, if you are comfortable soldering then you can just order a replacement button. Mobiletechvideos.com fixes that problem, they fix almost everything else too. Very trusted source so you can be sure to get what you paid for. If you can solder then buy a replacement part on ebay or you can go here http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-i9000-t959-t959v-power-button-repair/ and send your Vibrant t959 to mobile tech.

i recently aquired a samsung vibrant sgh-t959. It had issue charging and i determined that it was the micro usb charge port. i messed with it a bit like i did before to get it to charge with no response as before but now when i try to turn the phone on it only shows the loading clocklike bars as if it were just plugged in to charge before it loads the charging bar when its turned off. any ideas on how to simply repair this at all? i know replacing the charge port would be one option but i have no idea on how to. maybe one of the contacts are touching another on the charge port?
Yesterday my dna died while at a dealership then I went to plug it into my car charger and the led came on to indicate charging. The phone automatically booted into the bootloader at which point I selected reboot phone and after that it went black as if there wasn't enough juice to boot and shut off. Since then the phone won't charge. When plugged into the wall, no orange led comes on to show its charging and after being left plugged in over night I'm still having the same issue.
I've got a lot of important things on there and I really hope there's something I can do.
Thanks :crying:

Make sure your cable isn't borked. For some reason, the cable wires break at the connector on the small end. Try a different cable. The orange charging light should come on after about 5-15 minutes of charging depending how dead it is.

At this point the phone is refusing to do anything or at least appears to be doing nothing. Pressing the power does nothing and when plugged into any power source no orange led. I don't know how I would boot into the boot loader while the phone is in this state.

I have this exact same problem; however, my phone came back in a few days? It seems to get stuck like that every so often but then comes back and has around 30-40% battery left. I am about to lock it and put it back to stock and get a replacement.
Were you running any ROMs? I'm running a clean stock ROM.
Maybe try to open it up and disconnect the battery. This is a common pro let on the Nexus 7 and usually people get it fixed by disconnecting the battery and putting it back on. If you feel comfortable opening the phone you could try that.

Cool. Keep me updated. I'm very curious now.
When you hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds, do the led's on the bottom of the screen blink? I let mine drain all the way out. Plugged it in. the orange light was blinking slow. I held down the power button until after the led's blinked 13 times. I don't know why they blinked 13 times but they did. held down the power button again and it booted up.
When you connect it to your computer, is it found as a device through ADB commands? Is it listed as a drive attached to the computer?

Glad to hear your back up. Good job. It could also possibly be that the battery somehow got disconnected. I wouldn't return it unless it happens again. Just try not to let it die and I don't think it will happen again. Or if you drop it, it may also disconnect. But I wouldn't get a replacement unless the issue comes up again.
