I connected my phone to my computer to let it charge...made a phone call and then went away for about 30 minutes. I come back to check on my phone and it's turned off and won't turn back on. Recovery or download mode won't work either.
Can anyone tell me what the heck I should do? I need my phone back up and running ASAP
edit: and yes I've already tried removing the battery for "90 seconds"

You're sure download mode is not working ? Did you try the correct combo ? ( Power +Home + Vol Down)
If yess please provide other details as to what you did . ( eg underclocking )

Here's a step by step description of what happened, and what I've tried thus far:
-Phone was at about 4-5% battery life and charging.
-Made 1 phone call then left it there to go eat dinner.
-Came back 30 minutes later to grab my phone and head out of the house only to find that it's completely shut off and won't turn on.
I've tried pressing vol up + power + menu, I've tried vol down + power + menu, and I've tried holding power + menu and nothing worked. I can't even tell whether it's charging or not, but I don't think it is because the battery isn't getting warmer at all (which usually happens when the phone is charging).
And what do you mean "under clocking"? as in under clocking the CPU? I've done nothing remotely close to it. Then only thing I did to my phone is install Siyah kernel and Cyanogenmod 7.2
edit: Tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and It's still not working. Looks like I'm getting a new phone tomorrow....(ugh)
It's quite possible that your charger itself just died, and it's not charging anymore.
Have you tried a different charger?
Perhaps your battery is dead?
I wouldn't give up just yet.
edit: Just be patient. Keep "charging" it. Give it a night to charge and see in the morning.
Phone is "braindead", as the tech guy called it. He said the insides looked like it came into contact with water, which is weird because it was nowhere near the water.
Nevertheless...I hated this phone after about the first week of owning it and it doesn't surprise me one bit that this happened. Worst phone I've ever used and it didn't even last 8 months.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206967
Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

Did you try removing battery, replacing and then turning on. I had the same issue yesterday and this worked for me.

Having the exact same problem,
Charged phone
Listened to some music for 30 minutes

Two hours later I noticed the phone had shut down.
Trying to boot it nothing.
Nothing when put in wall socket charger.
Nothing when connected to USB.
Vol Up + Home + Power button does nothing.
running Lightning rom 1.2 or 1.3
Phone is 2.5months old.
You may have your last try - USB jig
Same problem here, shut down the phone to put a new microsd and when i try to start it only a black screen, no samsung logo, no vibrate, no nothing....

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 Infinity Rom on it
It died the other night, and it's not the battery Im sure of it. I cant get it into and Recovery modes or Download mode, well I haven't tried Download mode I don't know how to.
If anyone can help me fix this with all the links necessary to fix it I would be so happy. I am very sad right now .
Thanks
So you can power up and boot into recovery? I assume clockworkmod? If you use just the power button to turn it on what do you get?

I get nothing. Like the phone is completely dead.
could be hardware failure... You can try this..
Pull the battery out then reinstall (do not try to turn on)
plug in the phone overnight
then in the morning, try to turn on while still plugged in and see if it starts.
If not, you may have to bring it to verizon
That is a good idea, when you plug it in does it appear to take a charge?
yea pull the battery for a t least a minute. pop it back in, and plug it into a known working charger. wait a few minutes, when the battery is VERY dead, the charge light won't even come on. after about one minute, it'll start blinking. after it is done blinking and turns solid orange, you may boot the phone.
if you do not get a blinking or solid orange LED after 5 minutes, you indeed have a dead phone. I would go to verizon and try to pass it off as a bad battery, and ask if they can get a working battery to test. if it still fails to boot, then you will know.
i have yet to find a verizon tech willing to dig deeper on a non booting or boot looping phone to see if it was modded, usually playing dumb makes you seem less suspicious and incapable of modding. going in and saying "it was fine and running fast on a custom rom/kernel" is a dead giveaway for a warranty denial!
So my current phone stopped working so i was going to switch back to my galaxy s2 that has been sitting unused for about 3 months. When i tried to charged it the device will not turn on. The phone heats up when it sits on the charger for sometime. Also if i hook it up to my computer without the battery and hold the power and up/down button i can get to the warning screen about custom os to put it into downloading mode but when I press up to continue the screen just goes black and nothing happen if i press down to restart nothing happens it just goes black and i can hold the power and up/down to get back to the warning screen. The phone was rooted with iscrewd a long time ago before i when to a different phone. I have a usb jig but i cant even get to the warning screen with the battery in. Any thoughts??
You don't say, but I assume the phone was working normally when it was put on the shelf? If you can put your hands on a good I777 battery that is at least partially charged or better yet fully charged, put that in the phone and see if it will boot.
Sitting for three months will completely drain the battery, and this phone is somewhat sensitive to that. At least I have seen quite a number of reports of full discharge of the battery giving the same symptoms of not charging and getting warm.
I don't know what would account for you not being able to go beyond the warning screen with the battery out, especially if the phone was working normally before. The correct button configuration is the volume down button only, when the battery is out. I think the other buttons don't intefere though. Might try with just the vol - being held down and see what happens.
I vaguely remember someone having a problem similar to this, and I think he fixed it by getting the phone into download mode, putting the battery in, and leaving it in download mode to charge the battery. I think after a while he was able to boot the phone and let it finish charging while the phone was on.
This happened to me before. I just bought a new battery on Amazon and it worked just fine.

I have a problem I try to flash mean rom 4.7 installed it from meanrom 4.6 rebooted phone and it stuck on the developers phone message. Wont go past there I can hold power turn phone off but it turns it self back on cant keep it turns off. I cant get into the bootlooder screen to try a factory reset.
anyways i let the phone dye good then I charged it for a min got into bootloader and also rebooted into recovery unfortinitly at that time I was only at 1% battery life I did not want to try to install a backup at that low of a battery. so I shut off the phone through recovery shutdown options.
So I charged the phone for 15 min thinking I should get enough time to get me through the restore process. nope goes to the developers message screen again. and have to let my battery drain all the way down again.
I dont know if this is the right place to ask I am lost and cant figure out how to unbrick my phone. could someone point me to step by step instructions would be great. thanks

So I have a STOCK (no nothing) Verizon Galaxy S4 that is/was up to date as of 6/23/14. I think the last OTA push was a month or so ago.
A few days ago the device rebooted on its own a few times and I had no clue what was going on, but it stabilized for a day or so. Then yesterday it shut off and would not turn back on - the battery level was at least 80%. I removed the battery and reinserted it. I did not press the power button, but the device vibrates and displays the initial boot screen for about 3 seconds before it powers back off. At least I assume it is powered off - the screen goes black and there is no sign of life. The buttons do nothing to stir its slumber. I can remove and reinsert the battery for the same results.
I've tried POWER+HOME+VOLUME UP once inserting the battery - the blue text appears at the top but again the device shuts off after about 3 seconds.
Charger plugged in shows no light. However, when plugged in, the top part of the device does becomes warm on the screen and on the back with the cover off. - It actually becomes quite warm so I removed the battery but kept it plugged in just to test and it remained very warm. Unplugged now. Also it appears that inserting the battery does nothing now - maybe it's drained.
I'm pretty certain it's a hardware problem at this point, but I have no clue where to start. Has anyone ever had this issue or come across someone that has? I can take the device apart - does anyone know where and what I should be looking for as far as a loose connection or damaged component goes? Is there an electrical component diagram out there somewhere?
Any help is much appreciated!!
Have you tried getting into download mode at all?! I know you say that it won't go into stock recovery... But if somehow it got bricked then recovery corrupt be borked as well. Least if you can get into download mode you could try a no wipe image....
Also could just be hardware related in such case I don't have experience with that so much..

Yes. Same deal - it comes up for about 3 seconds... Must be a hardware issue.

It is and I agree. Just hoping someone on here might've seen this before and know how to fix it. I may try replacing the charging port hardware to see if that solves it.

To boot into recovery you only need to hold the VOL UP+POWER. Once the phone vibrates let go of power but keep holding the up button. I let go once the blue text appears for about 2 seconds.

If you can't get into download mode only option left is jtag
If you don't have a warranty there are places that will jtag it. I would recommend using someone that has done it before but I would be happy to try if you want to send it to me. I have the equipment but have yet to use it. I had a hard brick and thought I was going to have to try and Jtag mine but the warranty company decided they would go ahead and replace it. Like any place else, there would be no guarantee it will work. Of course if it is a hardware issue, jtag wouldn't work.
Some repair places will test it for free. I took one in for a sound problem and wanted to check out the loud speaker. The loud speaker was fine and they didn't charge me anything.
