Hey guys,
I have the AT&T Note that I rooted thanks to this forum and its devs. The ROM I have on there currently is an ICS build from The Collective.
Anyways, the situation is that my phone ran out of juice and shut itself down. No problem there. I got my charger and plugged my phone into the wall.
Here's where the problem is: the screen won't activate even hours after I've left it plugged into the wall. However, it does seem to be vibrating every few seconds.
I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what kind of joke my phone is playing on me. Thanks in advance.
that is odd that that would just happen like that. Have you unplug the charger then removed the battery for 5 or 10 seconds? Then try to boot on just battery
almost sounds like a hardware issue

Just tried it. Nothing happened
Do you have CWM? If so, try to get into it and see if the screen will show.

Yes I have CWM on it, but my Note's screen won't turn on so I'm not able to access it...I tried connecting it to my computer but my computer won't recognize it either anymore.
I guess I'm just going to take it to my AT&T store nearby and ask if they can replace it.
Have you tried putting it in DL mode??

Hold power button down for about 10 secs it will vibrate, quickly hold the volume up and down at the same time. It will reboot into recovery. Do a full wipe and reinstall ROM. That should help.

Thanks everyone, went to the AT&T store and found out that swapping out the battery fixed the problem...weird.
Sew if odin will reconize it and flash att recovery then start over

My phone boots up for 5 seconds to the samsung screen and then it shuts off. I can not get into recovery. I tried going into download mode,but when it enters download mode approx 5 sec and then it shuts off not enough time for odin to run. My battery is fully charge. What should I do?:crying:
Does it vibrate and restart as well?
Could possibly be the power button is stuck. Happens sometimes.
And since it Powers up ... It is not bricked.

it vibrates but does not reboot after the first boot
Stuck power button. . . or flashed an incomplete Rom from a bad download. . .just guessing because you didn't say what you did that led up to this.
How about a little insight on events leading up to the issue.

Last night i flashed Xylon 2.5 unOfficial Rom for quincyatt from ManelScott4Life off his site and then i flashed the recent 4Ace kernel and it was working perfectly for I used it for a couple hour before going to sleep. As I was listening to music on the way to school. It shut off and until now i need to take battery out n put back in order for it to boot for 5 seconds n shuts off again
Odd....But I still would not rule out a stuck button.
If you have a good backup that you can restore, you might could try a wipe and reflash of that backup.
The real test will be if you can boot into your recovery and it stays there. If it does not, then the problem leans toward a button issue again.
And of course, the battery could also be causing trouble. We have had failed batteries act the same as you describe. If you have a spare, try it. If not, plug the device into AC power and attempt the boot into recovery.
Either way, if the phone stays in recovery, you have a battery issue, or corrupted rom...g

Same Problem
I have a question. I have the same exact problem as the OP. However in my case I dont know what happened to the phone as someone just gave it to me since it didnt work and I have a Note they figured I could use it for parts. That aside At first i tried everything and no go. But today i was able to put it into download mode and like 5 seconds into it it shuts off. My main question is how do you know if the button is stuck 1. 2. How do you fix that?
Edit: well i opened my phone up and cleaned out the button and rubber thing and it did the trick! You guys are my heroes!!!:thumbup:
Glad we could help
Great you got it fixed. Enjoy.

How did you clean out your button? I have the EXACT same symptoms, but my rubber buttons in the case, and white power button appears to be clean. I can hear the button itself make contact. I can't get to recovery mode, but I can hit download mode for 5 seconds.
leaving the casing of the phone removed, I have the same exact symptoms so it Has to be the button itself... *shrug
the button gets stuck even when you still hear/feel it clicking. open the phone and blast it with duster. Press and depress the button rapidly many times till it frees internally

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.

Hello,
Well, I was just on facebook messaging my friend. My battery soon reached 30% so my phone entered power saving mode. Suddenly, my phone turned off and now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger, the battery charge sign loads but then goes white and turns off. I tried entering recovery mode (hold power and vol up and vol down), but it didn't work. I tried entering download mode using all methods possible and that didn't work either. I have Serendipity 9.4 installed on my phone and it is rooted. What should I do? Is my phone salvageable or should I just throw it away? I can't go to Samsung and ask them to repair it because I have flashed a custom rom on my phone. I am at a loss...
Take the battery out of the phone for a bit. Put it back in and just plug it in.

Try plugging your cable into your computer then plug it into your phone while holding both volume buttons. If that gets you into download mode try flashing stock firmware

Navigate to www dot MobileTechVideos dot com and look up their phone number. Ask them how much it will cost to fix your phone.

So it costs money to fix it? Nevermind then. I guess I am just bad with phones and shouldn't have one.

Of course it costs money it just depends if you're willing to spend to repair it. Dunno if you planned on keeping this or upgrading soon

Look at ur micro usb port of ur phone as well as the micro usb cable that u r using to charge it and see if any of the contacts are messed up in either one and therefore causing it to not make good connection. Or there may be some dirt or something causing the connection between the cord and ur phone to not be good also.
Also u could try a different cord or car charger...

I've had this happen before. After trying several chargers. In the midst of getting an S3 at Sam's Club, as one last resort I tried their charger and it worked. Since then I've purchased an external battery charger and always have a spare battery on hand.

Going by your Name,I guess you belong to some part in Asia( India or Pakistan -Most probably), just like me.
Just go to any Mobile repair shop nearby and give them your battery and ask them to give it a "BOOST" it wont cost u more than few bucks(10-20 INR/PKR) and 10 min's.
Now insert in your phone and that should work.
repair cost

The fact you were able to customize your phone rules out the fact that you are "JUST BAD WITH PHONES" i have been doing this for months. There come times when I get a phone that just doesn't respond the way it is supposed to. I have two i777 that I am really struggling with right now. One of the previous posters suggested flashing back to stock. I understand you CAN'T get to download mode, that suggests to me that you require "JTAG" repair. I have seen that available for around $35.00. that's not bad. Search EBAY and google and maybe even here.
Goodluck
I was running cm 11 I was moonshine s-off and running twrp recovery last night I got a call and when I slid the bar to answer my phone screen. Went black and hasn't been able to be turned on since my pc will not recognize my device am I sol or can this be fixed?

What model of htc do you have?
Dumb question, have you taken the battery out?
and a light should come on when its charging but doesnt?
it is more than likely possible to recover as long as nothing is damaged, i had a bootloop virus after trying to root, i had a friend fix it for me but all he did was flash the stock ruu using adb which was a pain in the ace because adb couldnt find the phone and the stock ruu was a Beach.
um, if none of those work, try a different cable i guess? trying to see if it is just an easy fix before you have to do anything 'fun'
No I didn't take the battery out it's not removable and no lights come on whatsoever and the pc can not see my phone no matter what cable I use
Let it sit on the charger for a day (24 hours) and then try to turn it on, this has been known to work. If this doesn't work then you may need to send it in. Could be bad battery or motherboard.
Thanks I'll try it man

I have yet to try it but I will. Thanks.
It did not work. I tried all possible button combinations and still nothing.
So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.
