So yesterday I was in a call with low battery when it shut off. Normally not a problem, just plug it into the wall for a while. Well when I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't even boot up. It was stuck at the red M logo. The LED showed amber colored as well. I left it plugged in and the light remained amber until 90% battery, where it turned green.
I tried to turn it on and its been stuck on the red M logo. Its been stuck for more than 12 hours now.
I CAN access fastboot, android recovery, etc. I already tried wiping the cache and even did a factory reset. Still wont work.
What can I possibly do? I luckily have a backup phone, but I've had my photon for less than a month, no warranty, and I'm a novice Android user. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Click on the software and tools link and use rsd lite to reflash the stock os onto the phone. If that doesn't work I would take it to the sprint store.
I assume you tried pulling the battery?
I'm downloading SBF now. Hopefully it works, because I live in Canada and we don't have Sprint stores.
And YES, I tried pulling the battery. Multiple times. With every combination (eg, plug in, turn on, then insert battery; put in battery, turn on, then plug in, etc)
the sbf should work but may i ask how you managed to brick your photon? when i just got mine i did everything wrong and i never got even a soft brick so i'm interested what i didn't mess up haha
Quick question: I should be downloading the most recent? Will it make a difference?
And damn, did I actually brick it?? I'm pretty new to this thing, this is my first Android and I've had it for less than a month...
And nothing should have triggered it. I added another line in build (ro.media.setting.1080p or something) and I added another setting in /system/etc/mediaprofiles.xml. I was trying to add 1080p to the camera (unsuccessfully). I didn't remove anything, and even after a reboot it was fine.
It wasn't until the battery died, where it stopped booting up. Just my luck :/
You should probably choose one of the newer ones, just becasue of bug fixes, etc. If you happen to know what version you were running before then I'd choose that. I cant stress enough, make sure the one you download is for the Photon and NOT Electrify! And technically yeah that is a brick lol but its extremely hard to legit brick beyond repair a photon due to the fact that we have RSD Lite and SBF files to bring it back.
Strangely, I found a thread depicting the same problem that I had, although with the electrify. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=14813
Anyways, the problem is fixed, by reflashing the SBF using RSD Lite, everything is back to normal! Well, almost, just have to restore my backup
Thanks so much for your help guys, I wouldn't have been able to fix it without you all!
can you fix a bricked phone??
My Photon has done the same thing! I rooted her and did the Bootstrap Recovery thing. Everything was kosher until I tried to load that stupid Beats Audio. Something happened between me flashing it and the reboot where it locks the phone. I tried to do the Android recovery screen, I wiped, I did about everything I could find. No bueno.
I followed this forum and clicked the software and tools link as instructed. I tried with RSD 5.6, and tried several iterations of SBF's located here and here. I was using SBF - 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_MR-3-CM.
It lets me go into boot mode, and when I try to flash the SBF it appears to go through, but it always fails at the end. Which, the posts state it will do, but my phone will not reboot afterwords. After trying everything I could for a couple days, I decided to just take it to a Sprint store. Mind you I've had this under 30 days, but longer than 14 so they stated it would have to be replaced. They tried to flash, but said they were getting stuck too.
I know that a replacement is pretty much the answer, but just wanted to check one more time to see if anyone had any other ideas, or could point me to other forums maybe? Appears I've done what few have been able to accomplish...brick this joker.
Ok lets start.
1) Phone wouldn't connect to PC but it would charge - got over that by just using a memory card and always having ROMS on the card
2) went on holiday (gran canaria) at the beach so a bit of sand got on my phone but it was working fine for the rest of the holiday
3) Got on the plane and the phone was working fine i Accidently left it off airplane mode but oh well we lived ad im sure that hasn't affected anything and fell asleep with it in my pocket. now ive got back to the UK but the phone was of even though it was charged before hand. tried to use the wall charger but it wouldn't work when i got home i tried USB but that wouldn't work
4) today ive gone to get a new battery in case the battery has died but no battery worked. i went ot about 3 different shops and now im sure its the phone.
5) ive tried cleaning (blowing the sand out of the phone and it never got wet so now i don't know what to do. i was using the Foxhound rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715) which was working fine the whole time
What are my options? I dont have insurance but i was considering to get i. so i could them to replace it but not sure if i could get another since im sure the warranty is void since ive rooted my phone and put a new rom on. If that's not an option then i wouldn't mind opening my phone to try and fix it myself if someone could point me in the right direction. Annnnnd if that's not an option how much could i sell it for as it is? ive still got the box and stuff lol
oh yeah when i say i cant turn it on i dont mean bootloop i mean it wont even vibrate when i press the on button tried soft and hard reset ive opened the phone and tried cleaning it out and i cant get into recovery or download obviously because it wont turn on

If you already changed the battery and the phone doesn't boot, neither in download nor in recovery mode, the only thing you can try is to go the the store/service center and ttry to get a warranty replacement.
If the phone is "dead", they won't be able to check if it is rooted or has a custom ROM.
Good luck !

Hello,
I having big problem on my Atrix. Out of nowhere he stopped working, I've tried everything - taking out the battery (which had 40% when it happened), sim card, connecting to original wall charger. Nothing. I'm pressing the power on button and it doesn't turn on.
:crying:
If anybody have any idea, I begging you to help me.
Thank you and good day.
P.S. I forgot to mention that the phone is with me only a month, worked perfectly
Hello again,
I would like to add something that I noticed about the phone and maybe someone could use it to get ahold of the problem. Every now and then (few hours mostly but sometimes minutes) the phone turn on, get past the boot sequence but then get stuck and shut off again.
Last time I connected the phone to the pc, the pc recognize that there is a device but not past MOT ADB device to the MB860 like it did before. This time it got stuck in the "UNLOCKED" screen and shut off again.
I will be hugely thankful for someone who can point to the problem and even find way to fix the problem.
Did you install any custom rom?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
Yes, Jokersax cm10 rom.
Luckily the phone resumed to work but I'm scared to **** it will happen

Same thing happened to me..few months ago when trying to flash nutrino..dont worry it is software related..i tried everything. but oneday it started working again out of nowhere

Hey all! Im new to xda-developers I decided to post here because I honestly got alot of help from here already. So anyway, here goes....I used ODIN to flash a new firmware onto my GS2(i9100) and all went well..got the green "PASS" box and whatnot.
Shortly after the phone rebooted but here is where my problem starts. The phone is stuck on the "Glowing S" screen (Picture of a large S animating/changin colours and Samsung Galaxy SII written at the bottom)
It has been sitting here for nearly an hour now. I have tried pressing and holding the power button and battery pulls but to no avail.
I can enter ODIN mode (vol - , HOME, POWER) but I cannot get into recovery. Everytime i press (VOL+,HOME,POWER) the green android robot just sits there for maybe 5 secs and then the phone reboots and gets stuck AGAIN >_<
I don't know what to do Its ok if i need to wipe my data etc bcuz i got backups
My concern is getting my phone in working order again and ASAP because I need my phone for my work
If you can get into download mode just re flash the ROM again, the same thing happened to me and this fixed it

I reflashed a million times (ok 7 times really) but same thing
i reallly REALLY dont want to hear my phone is bricked :/ if i cant sort it out i would carry it in to the local store but they gave me an estimated time of 3 weeks because the owner would be out of town :crying:
Probably just needs a factory reset.
Next time list the firmware(s).Thats more important than an owners holiday arrangements.
Similar problem
My phone is stuck after the Samsung galaxy S2 screen. I took it to the service center but no luck. They said I ll have to flush the software privately because it was bought in Singapore (overseas model) and India software doesn't work or change my complete board to an India board. Any idea on how I can go about fixing it ?
get into recovery & clear data/cache
Hey everybody, longtime lurker. Going to make this short and sweet for anybody willing to give their insight. I have a 100% stock, never rooted (never even tinkered with) DNA that I bought from Verizon. I've had it for under a year. Today at work I felt it vibrating constantly in my pocket, after a while I took it out to see what the heck was going on and it was just bootlooping at the HTC screen. It is currently stuck like this until it drains the battery, then just starts up again once I plug it in. I've tried searching but it appears most issues are with people who have rooted their phones and are trying to flash back to stock because of issues. Any help would be appreciated. Going to try and call Verizon tomorrow. Also, I tried to boot to recovery, it worked once. And seems to not work anymore for some odd reason.
Only thing I can tell you is try to factory reset and if that does not help try to ruu it. You can find the ruu file if you just search the forum... You will probably lose all of your data though.

Defective, get replacement.
Try, while boot looping, to plug in and save any files you can...
Thanks for the reply's. After letting it charge basically for almost 15 hours, I woke up this morning to see the green charging light which gave me a little bit of hope. I went to turn it on but it just went straight back to bootlooping Calling Verizon soon, hopefully they aren't a pain in the ass to deal with...
