Need some advice please
Any Flyer member who can advice me please?
Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.
battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.
Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect

Thanks for your replies:
It didnt work pressing only vol dow for a while, or presing only power button, it never rests.
Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.
Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...
If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers
Any other advice?
Thanks in advance!

Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.
Nothing happens
i would suggest trying to globatron's attention. if anyone on this board would know what to do it would likely be him

A red led isn't going to show with a 100% power condition. Later you wrote...

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...
If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...
Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.
...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
Thanks.
Update:
I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:
sending..........
updating the Rom image on your android phone
It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!
Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
Orb,
That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.
After it boots again it goes back to normal.
Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply.
Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.
Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?
I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....
I swear never again to remove the back cover
PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...

That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)
I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.

hello
Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.
What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.

Hi all,
I need an advice from you guys please:
My Topaz is not turning on, it simply does not do anything.
Last time I wanted to change the language but my battery was not fully charged, so in the process it suddenly turned off and since that time I am not able to turn it on, does not display nothing on screen when I press the on button it just vibrates continuously and not stop, and that´s it...
The charging light was on the 1st time I tried, but not the second time.
It is SIM unlocked but not hardspl´ed
Any advice would be great!
Thanks in advance
UPDATE 13-Mar-10
Today, I connected Topaz to wall charger, amber led turned for about 10 sec, then turns of, then vibrates, then nothing again.
I tried to do hard reset, nothing happened, then after some minutes the device is short vibrating every 1 min aprox, no led on, still can´t do nothing more.
EDIT: After 15 min of short vibrating every 1 min, now it´s completely dead again........
Thanks for reading,
Can you put it in bootloader? Is a hardreset possible?
Try to turn the phone off, remove battery, and insert it again. Then hold vol down and press power. Do you get red/green/blue (or whatever) colors?
If you do. let it boot until it says USB (perhaps need to connect usb to PC for it to change from serial to usb) and after that just run the topaz ruu and it should flash.
If you dont get it to start to 3 color screen try and hold up+down and press power.
yes, Vol down and powerbutton. should boot to serial/usb flash screen.
Thanks guys for your reply
Soon as I get home I´ll try and report back
Cheers,
Flash a stock ROM

Hi
Just check that if you try to reflash the ROM whether you should use a stock ROM vs modified ROM as you wrote that you do not have HardSPL on your Topaz.
Once you have successfully reflashed using stock ROM do a hard reset and then install HardSPL 1.83.
Good luck
Aussie
Still need help!!
Ok guys,
Let me explain you what happened:
None of the instructions above worked...
Can´t put on bootloader, hard reset nothing happens
When connected to wall charger amber led is on, if I press power button led turns off and vibrates, then led turns on again but nothing else happens.
Pressed down vol and power = Nothing happens
Pressed up/down vol and power = nothing happens
EDIT: Connected to PC and automatuically installed a qualcomm driver not detected also by WMDC
Disconnected from PC then connected again to wall charger and now amber led not turns on....
Please help!!
Any other advice please!
I really don´t know what else to do
Thanks in advance for taking your time on this thread
Per your PM, I'll certainly help you if I can.
Do you happen to know what caused it to brick? This will help determine how to bring it back. Did you attempt to flash a custom ROM w/o HSPL?
I am not an expert on this but have seen some chefs claim they can bring back a bricked device.
There is a program called MTTY that can usually get your phone to connect to your PC and there are functions to run in that program that can get it to a flashable state so you can reflash your shipped ROM.
Also search the Wiki for restoring bricked device, regardless of the model, it should be the same process. I think I have seen this in the Tilt(Kaiser) forum and maybe in the Fuze (Raphael) forum.
I haven't used this program in a while so I forget the commands but you should be able to find them in a search.
In the meantime I'll do a little research too and see what I can find out.
The main thing we need to accomplish is getting you back into bootloader mode.
1. Here is a link for recovering a Hermes and it has info on mtty.
Thanks a lot Bruce,
I have the original ROM and my Topaz is the unbranded model.
I was just trying to change language but battery was too low, then it turned of and you know the rest of the story.
I have it SIM unlocked but not hardspl´ed and I was not doing any ROM upgrade or so...
I´ll try to use MTTY and find about your recommendations, later report back.
I appreciate a lot your reply!
Cheers,
EDIT: Tested MTTY but in some point says "power on the unit " but that is what I can´t do, nothing happens
Will continue testing and searching...
This is from the Wiki. It may help. Says to use PUTTY instead of MTTY... with instructions.

Thanks Bruce,
I went through both links but nothing...
The main prob is that I can´t even make it turn on...
Now when wall charger is plugged I do not have the charging led on, so I am really lost...
I do not have another battery to test but I don´t think is that because Topaz is almost new!
But Now I think it´s not charging the battery...
Hope any other idea can save me
If it is almost new try to send it to warranty!if it has the original hspl no prob then!is better then trying to reapair youself, with the cost of loosing warranty!
Good luck with that!!!
Thanks, but I do not have that option
I have high hopes with all the great team of XDA!
first thing first,you have to have power in your phone.....borrow the battery from someone or recharge your battery in somebody else's phone.......then try to go in to bootloader mode (volume button down and power button)..........

Yep!
I ordered today another battery
Soon as I get it will report back.
Thanks,
Maybe this will help
It happened to me once. Nothing seemed to work. What did work, I left the phone charging for a day. First take ou the battery for at least a minute. Put it back on. Then connect the wall charger to the phone and let it charge. Hope this will help.
When it happened to me the LED wasn't working either, just connect the charger and let it charge.
Thanks,
I done that yesterday and left it all night but nothing...
I really hope is a battery problem, I´ll find out soon as I receive my new one
wrong place
Exactly samething happened to me.. the only difference was that I was using google maps and connected to my car charger. It somehow didn't charge and ran out of power and kept restarting whenever I tried to charge from a wall-socket.
This is what i did... worked for me.
Take out the battery from the back
Hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds to drain out the static charge.
Take out the sim
Plug in the USB to the phone (without the battery and without the sim)
With the phone connected, press the Red button at the back (soft reset)
Unplug the phone from the charger
Put the battery back in
Connect the USB to charge
Cross your fingers and say a lil prayer
Wait for 30 minutes
Turn it back on.
Lemme know how that goes 4 u
Thanks
I done all your procedure but after this point: [*]Connect the USB to charge
Led charging light did not turned on...
By now my only chance is to test with a new battery (which I will receive on thursday), but I do not have too many hopes as the device is almost new
I´ll report back on friday.
Thanks to all and I will be happy to receive any other suggestion
Hi everyone
My SGS 2 won't start anymore
I charged my phone, then went somewhere, used the phone, put it back in my pocket and the next time i looked at it it was shut down and i couldn't turn it on anymore, nothing happens at all.
theres no problem with the battery (it works on another SGS 2)
I rooted my phone and put lightning rom 1.2 on it. i had no problem rooting the phone and its the first rom since stockrom.
What should I do?
So you mean your phone won't boot anymore? There is no Samsung logo or anything?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
no logo, no vibration, just black
tried normal startup as well as "vol down, home, power"
Recovery vol up + home + pwr release at splash screen .
You can either try the usb recovery jig though this poster says it does not work but in my view worth a try.

Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

Any solution?
EDIT: WORKS AGIAN!!!! i leave it alone without battery around 30 mins then put battery and working again...

Tried many things and not working. Sending it in for warranty. At least they wont know its hacked until they fix it. Maybe they wont charge me...

So what happened? Did they work out that it was hacked and were you charged?
I had my phone out with me last night fully charged, halfway through the night i took it out my pocket to find it was off , bit strange.
But not only that it wouldn't power on no matter what.
Usually you would try removing the battery (can't in the s)
Eventually managed to get it to startup holding down volume up and power together (nexus1 fastboot) which booted it up normally??
Im a bit concerned the phone is faulty, anyone experienced this?

Leave it on the charger for a while. Maybe the battery is empty.
You can always press Volume up and the power button and wait for three vibrations to make a hard reset (like battery out)

Happened to me... leave it on the charger at least 3 hours and check it. The battery completely drains when you unplug the charger if you charged with the phone off. gl

This happened to me too. I completely drained the battery and it kept going into a loop (black screen, LG logo, battery screen). I left it plugged in and off and let it boot up.
FYI
This has happened to several people. I have confirmed through testing, even exchanging my phone 2 days ago that this is an issue created when unlocking the bootloader. Rooting does not cause it. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can not get around this by re-locking the bootloader.
The workaround is simple. Either leave your phone on while it is charging or if you charge with phone off, unplug your charger and hit the power button- you will still see the charge animation running- this is what causes the battery to drain. All you have to do is power up the phone at least to boot then it is ok to turn off. You can confirm it worked by touching the power button again and not see the charge animation. Hope this helps.
Wow thanks so much for the reply and help! I've got it working now and I guess I'll just avoid it by not letting it die lol
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
well...
If you let it die all the way, its not a big deal. Plug it in, hold down the volume down button and the power button for 15 seconds, then it will work fine.
Threads like this makes this forum so great. Another potential problem to be avoided when using the phone.

I could use some help guys, if this thread isn't too old. I've searched high and low to the answer here and nothing is working. I've tried download mode, fastboot, recovery, reset, holding power down, plugging it in and unplugging it. I've pulled the plate off of the battery, tried LGNPST, drivers, etc. No go on anything.
The phone is still dead, and will not turn on. The best I've gotten is a solid red light after holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then after about 3-5 seconds it resumes flashing (alternating between the red light and the key buttons). If I continue holding the power button down it will repeat this, showing solid red and then reverting to flashing.
I can not get the screen to display anything, not even the charging animation, and none of my computers will even recognize the device. I've been messing with it all day and I'm stuck. If anyone can help me, at all, please do. I hate going to Sprint. Anything but that, please.

Hi!
I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)
It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.
Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it
-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive
-Without the battery --> Nothing happens
If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.
I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.
I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.
Does anybody have a solution?

Try this:
1) Power down (if not already powered off);
2) Pull the battery out;
3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;
4) Boot the phone.
If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.

The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.
Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:
1) unplug power;
2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

i had the same issue 2 weeks ago. you need to buy a new battery as the one your using is completely drained. after that... unbrick and you should be ok.

Okay because I'm just going to have to have everything literally spelled out for me. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I was a noob haha
As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.
I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.

Thanks. I ordered a new battery when it started happening, so it should be in soon

No worries -- your duty (of course) is hit the Thanks button when folks help and we get somewhere. I also fixed a couple typos in my reply (typed on a phone, and naturally ends up imperfect. Just didn't want you confused. One way or another, you can get the phone back up and running.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).
If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.
We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.
thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
Ok, I see what you're saying.
Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.
Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.
To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.
