Hi guys,my brother has the active,and today he just found it dead in his pocket.No turn on,no lights,just a small vibration bump when holding the power key.Any clues?
I've changed battery,SEUS won't detect the phone.However,Flashtool detects a SE phone when I'm holding the volume key.
It was never rooted,just stock firmware.
Any clues?Please help

This thread should go in general not development.
Now i would say that if he never modified the phone and if it still have warranty to take it to a sony ericsson service center that would be his best option.
Try taking the battery out for a few minutes, and by a few i mean something like 5 minutes, then try turning it on.

Remember to try to turn it on, while the battery is out... that will help to drain the capacitors for energy.

If you have unlock bootloader.. And you try to update over the Air then you brick your mobile.. For that just relock your bootloadet

Small vibration when pressing the power button is completely normal. It means, that you don't have to hold the button more...
What happened before this occured?

it was in his brother pocket i don't think he done anything they never do when something goes wrong
just kidding i think there's something wrong from factory and if he don't want to take it back for me the next step will be to try and flash generic firm using wotan server.
Because smaller brother's tend to lie, and since this is a waterproof phone, before sending it to get fixed, make sure that the humidity stickers on the inside of the phone and on the battery are still white and not pink/red.

And if in service they notice, that phone was opened before?

What? You dont have to unscrew anything to see them. The one on the phone is just on top of the SD card, and the battery one is visible with the battery inserted, from the gap that the Sim card hole has.
Be cool guys,I've "interrogated" him,and I don't think he done anything.
Stickers are fine,and the phone is just 3 months old.Well,it's going to service on Monday.It's just so strange to die like that.
By the way,yesterday in the evening it started to blink red.I've put it on charger and the led soon became yellow,but hte phone still won't turn on.I've replaced the battery with a fresh 100% one from my X8,and still no effect.The battery from the Active is also fine,my X8 works with it,and it's about 70%.
What happens after the vibration during the power button?

Its dead....I can guarantee you a jig will not work so dont waste your time....thats a hard brick, and if you cant even get it to turn on, its game over
Im sorry for your loss I really am, if their was a smilee shedding a tear I would put it
If your computer REALLY just restarted by itself, it is not your fault, sometimes odin can hang up and crash (not responding) and kill your phone too.
Moment of silence for her (bows head down)
but seriously, I hope you have insurance. If you have insurance, everything will be ok
Just say it started getting hot, you went to bed, woke up the next morning, and it would not turn on.
Or warranty repair might do it.
I bricked my old HTC Hero when I made a mistake flashing the radio and I returned it to store and had it back repaired 2 weeks later . The repair report blames the mainboard and replaced it all free.
So good luck, and I know exactly how you feel
Do u guys face this prob before?
I come across with a seller that wanted to sell his X10, which according to him has a software damage.
His X10 battery's used up till zero present left and automatically switch off and forgot to charge it for 1 week.
When he charge the phone, there nothing appear on the screen, the phone won't boot up.
When power button pressed, the phone just vibrate once then nothing happen.
What kind of damage is this?
Thanks in advance

Yous also doesn't charge the battery for a long time ?
i've had the phone for about 7 days and everything was fine until tonight when i tried to use my phone. the phone won't power on anymore.
i plugged it in for a couple of hours and it still didn't turn on. the battery wasn't low when it died. i also tried holding the volume down button then powering on. I even tried plugging it into the usb. i don't know what else to do.:crying:
is it rooted or unlocked? if so which freegee is it unlocked with? you could always join the irc channel for some help. it may be faster through that

Return it.

My brother actually has a completely stock one and is complaining if the same problem to me. I just told him to return it for a new one. Mine is rooted + unlocked and not suffering from any problems. Possibly a hardware problem or overheating?
My friend just had the same issue this morning,
the phone was very hot and wouldn't turn on.
we tried pressing pwr+voldown and nothing happened. then tried pwr+volup and it then showed the LG log but as soon as we let go of any of the button the logo disappears and nothing else happens.
charging also didn't help
*his phone is un-rooted. So i told him to contact Rogers wireless.

Sounds like a soft brick. Happened to me a few times. Tell him not to worry. LGNPST would fix this.
Edit: didn't see that it was unrooted. Yeah I think you told him the right thing. That shouldn't happen if he hasn't done anything to his phone.
I have had this happen several times.
If you press (or hold) the power button, do you see a cheap white "battery charging" animation?
I can't say exactly what, or why, it works, but keep at it. I think the magic trick is to hold the power until the LG logo has appeared and the boot animation is about to (or has) started.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I was panic stricken every time. If this is happening to you, then you understand what I mean.
I hope this helps someone. This phone seems to be full of issues... I'm just hoping the software it's the cause, and not the hardware.

Same problem for me, phones stops responding unexpectedly, could be that it's power-off by itself but in order to power-on it I need to press power button for a long time ~30 sec. I was thinking that it's because of SnowJB custom Rom but it seems not, the strange thing that it starts only few days ago and appeas almost every day. May be it's needed to format internal or external SD card to fix it?

My LGE971 doesn't turn on
Hello there
My Optimus g E971 doesn't turn on.. it was shut down with low battery ..i tried to put back on charger but it's not charging.
I tried to use different charger , different cable but nothing worked.
I tried pressing volume up/down and power button keys simultaneously but still i got nothing.
There is no lg logo or no back light coming on the screen.
I am confused ..
Plz help guys..
That sounds like you need new battery

Hi, sorry if the question is already answered, but my English is basic and write it through google translator.
My problem is that my Xperia P (LT22i) ran out of battery and shut down, and now will not start. I connect it to the charger, the red LED lights a few minutes and then turns off. But still does not start. I left it all day and nothing.
If anyone knows how to get it back, especially to rescue the photographs he had.
I tried as I have suggested, hold power button with Volume up key till you get 3 vibration. then start your phone normally by pressing power button but does not work.
Thank you.

We were looking at pictures of the holiday and battery ran out. 0%.
Then I put it to charge and the red LED lit only a few minutes and then turned off. Nothing more.

Hi All,
I was using my phone few days back and it got switched off on its own and never came back to life.
I showed it to a service center and they say the phone is dead. There is nothing they can do to repair it and the motherboard will have to be replaced.
Anyone has any suggestions?
I don't believe these guys tried to repair it.
Thanks,

You know, you may be right. Maybe they just looked at it and said this thing is screwed. Or, they took the time to try to do something. Either way. First things first. Can you tell us if the phone shows a charging image when it is plugged in? If so, step two. Does the phone go into download mode? That is, hold down the down on the volume while holding the middle button on the face of the phone, while pressing the power button to turn it on. Dont hold the power button after you see the booting screen.

It has been only 13 months since I bought it.
If a usb jig doesn't work then new motherboard required.
