Its been 2 days since it has been dead. but still nothing.

U gave no one any useful information to help resolve the issue. What ROM were u using. What kernel. Stock charging cable? Stock or aftermarket battery? What were u doing when this occurred? Did u let it die and then try to charge it or did it stop working while charging?

Have you removed the battery first?
Mine turns on just fine w/o the battery installed but won't work the other way around

Not sure what happened and why happened. But all of a sudden the phone turned on and started to work after being dead for 2 days. Its all good now.
Thanks guys.

Can't turn it on

Hi guys,
three days ago I installed Darkyrom HD on my mates Galaxy S2, everything went smooth. But 10 minutes ago he called and said that the phone woudn't turn on!
He says he can't get response out of it. No recovery or hard reset with nor without battery in.
Don't hope it's perma bricked and it seems weird that it suddenly wont turn on.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks a lot.
At the same time press volume up + home button + power on to enter CWM.
Is his battery charged?

Does it get a response if holding down the power button for 8-10 sec? This will essentially reboot the phone regardless of what state it is in. If your buddy's been hit with the "sleep of death", this will boot the phone. Though I think this is a low probability if he tried pulling battery and putting it back.
Does it get a response if plugging it into the AC adapter? On the off chance the battery is completely dead. I'd like to think he tried this, though.
Has he tried another battery? Could be the battery lost the ability to hold a charge. Not common, but not unheard of either.
Doesn't seem to help. But I've told to let it charge the night and try again.
Any particular this happens? Seems random that it suddenly wont turn on.

Any particular reason? Sure. Most often, because the user installs something or flashes something they are not supposed to, to their phone. Or dropped it in water.

I wasn't trying to say YOU installed or flashed something. Maybe he did. Can I assume the phone was working when you gave it back to him? And that it was working fine for the three days after? Or was the phone in YOUR possession until he called you today?
I haven't had phone since i installed it. But I honestly don't think i he flashed anything.
He went out to jog - phone worked (listening to music)
He came home and placed the phone on the table - Phone worked
He did some exercises and when he came back - phone all black, can't get any response

You said he tried a battery pull? And no response after replacing battery?
Sure his battery is just not dead, bit odd if it had been working and suddenly this happens.
Most cases an app or something can cause the phone to restart, or freezes, usually a hard reset solves this by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Or entering recovery mode, or download mode just to ensure they are working.
Make sure he can charge the battery.
If all fails you may need to try a jig.

No response afer he pulled the battery.

Hmm. Try a different battery. If that doesn't work, warranty time.

If not you will need to reflash to stock rom as warranty void with root or custom rom ..
JTag may be your next step .

It wasn't the battery. But we've found someone that can repair it for 25 pounds + shipping. So if the USB jig doesn't work, it's going to them!

[Q] Vibrant wont turn on - will show charging screen

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.

Use odin to flash back to stock. Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028

Ok I used odin and I restored everything and my phone booted up like normal. But then while using the phone, I realize when I press the power button, it does nothing. 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.

Ok thnks for the help. I ordered a new power button and I soldered it in. That was the problem. The power button just failed and needed to be replaced.

sgh-t959
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?

please help, my Photon is totally DEAD

hi, today my photon freezes when I'm calling my friend
i tried to press the power button to turn if off but it won't shut down
i press any other button and still there's no response from the phone.
so in desperation i pulled out the battery
and the phone is dead.
i tried to install the battery again but the phone won't turn on at all
i tried to "rest" for a day but still the phone won't turn on
i've tried connecting it to wall charger but still , dead.
the battery is full cause i've tried it on my friend's photon.
so the battery is not the issue.
can anybody give me any solution ?
i can't send the phone back to sprint cause i lived overseas.
i really need help here
any suggestions are welcomed, thx.
When you plug it in to AC does it show any sign of life?

A few more details would help us help you.
It's (should be) common knowledge that you can help fix something when you don't know what's under the hood.
Give us some info. Are you stock, rooted custom rom kernel etc.
Does anything occur on your phone at any time? Lights or a vibrate when charging? Do you get to the Motorola screen? If so Are you familiar with rsd and fast boot?
To get help around here we need to see a thorough post that explains all of the details. I assure you someone will attempt to come to your aid

Okay here's the thing:
the photon is unlocked and using 197 SBF
rooted and unlocked (cause i install the beat audio mod)
prior to this , nothing is wrong
the phone works normally
and suddenly it hangs / freezes when i called my friend with it
so out in desperation i took off the battery
and it never turn on since
totally dead
not even motorola logo on the screen
the battery is 90% cause i tried my battery on my friend's photon and it shows 90% charge
so i don't think this is the battery problem
i tried connect it to the wall charger, nothing happened not even LED turn on
i tried connecting to my laptop usb port and the white led come out but still it won't turn on
with and without battery, when i connect it to my laptop the white led comes out.
Try to pull the battery more times, I know that this issue could be from pudding sbf on some Photons.
One man from here had the similar problem, flashed derpunlock.sbf, booted and after some minutes it died, he had to pull the battery, wait a few minutes and again. After full sbf flashing, it was fine.

i've leave the battery out of the phone for more than 24 hour but still it won't turn on.
the weird things is that it was working fine for many months prior to this.
and i never do anything on the phone .
i mean i didn't flash or upgrade or anything.
This sounds like hardware issue...

though the led is white when connected to the computer with or without battery in it.

Try a different charger. Mine shows white when your too dead to boot. Left it on about 30 min then a battery pull and booted up to charging screen

Device wont turn on, except when plugged in

Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.
Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.
This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.

It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.

Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.

Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?

I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.
