So I recently sent my phone into nokia. They sent it back, when I tried to power it on it power on for a second then died because the battery was basically empty. Now I have a charger and charged battery at home. It will not do anything with either. Wont charge, wont power on, nothing. I verified that the battery works with a voltmeter.
I downloaded the drivers and such. When I hold volume up and power it will viberate and now show anything. If connected to the computer it will show up as dload. I can go into NSS, but when I try to read info everyhing comes back as N/A. Everything even iemi and what not. Also it randomly losses connection to the computer and you have to replug the usb and hold power and volume up. I have no clue whats up.
Also I have NOT tried any type of aftermarket flash of either the rom or bootloader. Nothing the phone was completely stock.
Send it back

Hello.
I got this phone a week ago and since the beginning I had this problem that the phone would not start right away when I press the power button.
It shows a loading circle on the screen and then a grey battery sign and then the phone just goes off.
The battery is full.
The same thing happens all time when I keep pressing the button.
Then after removing the battery and keep trying to turn on the phone, it will turn on randomly.........
It takes alot of time to turn on the phone and its very annoying.
I currently have Nero 3, but I am sure I had this problem on 2.1 stock aswell.
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just plugged in the USB into the phone and it started charging the phone, and then I pressed the power button and it turned on. But it is not that there is no charge in the phone that is causing the issue, the charge is showing full when the phone was turned on.....
do you only have this issue cutting the phone on when plugged into the usb/power cable?
I only turn my phone on when not plugged in, no issues at all. It is hard when it's plugged in though, I notice I have to hold down the power button a long time.
I just had something like this happen tonight. My phoned started saying usb connected, then the media scanner, then usb connected etc....strange part is...I wasn't plugged into anything. I turned off the phone and it wouldn't turn back on. I got the loading circle twice then nothing. I had to plug it in and turn it on then unplug it for it to boot up right. Seems to be working now, but I want to know what caused it...

reset your phone, see if that changes anything. If not, Root, DL ROM manager and flash nero v3 then enable voodoo =)
Its amazing.
I think adfree is the culprit. Reverted and installed, and it's gone...

I still have the problem, I have rooted, odin back to stock, tried everything and still this is happening.
The only way to turn the phone back on when it is power off, is the insert a usb cable into it, which is connected to the computer and then hold the power button and then it will turn it.
Else, it will just keep showing that circle thing with the battery sign.
Any solution to fix this?
odin back to stock and start all over
I had to send mine in for a replacement. Sounds like everyone I have heard with this problem had to do the same.

I was taking a video, and finished it, when suddenly the phone froze up and turned off. I've been using MIUI, and while it's mostly pretty stable, reboots and crashes happen, so I just rolled my eyes. But since then it's been completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, even after taking the battery out several times, can't put it into recovery or download modes, and it's been connected to the charger for about ten minutes now and still nothing.
I haven't flashed anything for ages, haven't done anything odd with the phone at all, I have no idea what could have provoked this. Please help, I can't imagine what I'd do if my phone was permanently dead.
Samsung Galaxy SII with MIUI weekly ROM (currently 2.4.27)
Things I have tried:
Long press power button to turn it on (obviously)
Same thing after taking the battery out for ages
Press Vol up + Home + Power to put it into recovery
Press Vol down + Home + Power to put it into download
Plug it into charge
Plug in data cable connected to computer
Take out battery for a while, then replace, plug data cable into computer (but not phone), hold volume buttons while plugging in phone (internet guy told me to)
Everything above shows absolutely nothing on screen. Charging heats it up a little.

Just another try:
Maybe only the screen is "defect".
Boot into download mode - even if the screen keeps black.
And connect the phone via USB cable to your PC.
If the PC recognizes the phone, you could try to flash another ROM (with Odin).
If not ... is your phone still on warranty?!
Good luck !

Nope. Not a bad idea though. I wondered if the screen was broken, but then there should be vibrate and boot audio when it boots up.
Take the battery out dude, leave it out for 3 mins, then put it back in, then try accessing download mode (vol down + home + power)

once take it to service center..
Same issue.
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have the exact same problem as the OP. Only I wasn't even using my phone when it died it was just sitting on the side.
The 'back story':
My phone died whilst doing absolutely nothing. I tried plugging it in to charge and it came up with theimage I've attached below, and it just flashes on and off the screen at random intervals.
I tried recovery - nothing.
I tried D/L mode - worked once but got the 'battery too low - cannot download' error and it hasn't worked since.
Tried 2 different batteries - nothing.
Removed the battery for 10 minutes and retried - nothing.
Removed the battery while keeping the phone connected to the charger - nothing.
Connected phone to PC with original cable - nothing.
The top of the phone also gets hot when trying to charge.
Cannot attach the image yet as I can't post outside links...
But the symbol is the greyed out battery with the 'loading' ring.

same here, can't get it to do anything. tried booting to odin, pressing up after the right sequence (while screen was black). i hear the usb device make a sound on the pc, but nothing shows up on the ID:COM port in Odin.
Maybe your battery is messed up. Try using someone else's battery to see if it will turn on.

Do you even have an I9100 ?
All you need is a USB jig which will force your phone to enter into download mode. USB jigs are small devices which are very helpfull if something goes wrong while flashing. You can buy a USB jig directly from ebay, it is for about 4$ - 5$ or you can make one home yourself. It's not very hard.

Just got my z2 tablet out of the box, tried powering it on, nothing. I figured I needed to charge it, fine, plugged it in, I get the red light in the top right corner, let it charge for a few hours. Tried powering it on, nothing happened. Tried holding down power+volume up for 10+ seconds, no vibrations no nothing. Tried pressing the red switch where the microsd card is, nothing.
Did I just get a dud unit? Am I going to have to wait a few weeks as it gets returned and another one is sent?

If u dont want to take it back and geta replacement I suggest trying to connect it to flashtool via pc and download a. Ftf file and flash it holding volume down and putting USB in if theres no connection to the pc then you might just have to get a replacement tab
Thanks for the reply. Ended up just sending it back, didn't want to mess with flashing for fear of something voiding warranty.
Hi there,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S3; had it for a few years on O2 network in the UK. Recently, I left my phone to charge over night after the battery ran out of charge. I woke up to find no charge LED on the phone, and I couldn't turn it on.
I have tried the following things to power it up:
- booting it up in recovery mode (Home button, power button and Volume DOWN simultaneously).
- taking out the battery, pressing the power button a few times, then starting the phone up again with the battery in the phone.
- taking out the battery, pressing the power button and holding it for 10 seconds, and doing both normal power up, and recovery mode.
Now, a week later, after my phone completely died (and having to do with a Nokia Lumia 610 replacement), I came across a YouTube video in which someone recommends to plug it via USB into the computer, taking out SD Card and booting it up through recovery mode. Voila! I was amazed to see that it booted up; I had my menu and everything.
So I charged it to about 10% via the PC, and decharged it back down to zero. Plugged it back into the socket, and again, not a single sign of life from the phone.
To summarize, the phone only turns on via PC with USB connection, and fails to charge through the socket. I'm on Stock, non-rooted phone; with Android 4.3 and Kernel 3.0.31-2168382. When I try to do a software update, it tells me that I have the latest one. eMMC check app also tells me that I have an insane chip.
Where do I begin looking for a fix? I would be forever grateful for your help!
I believe my phone is broken and I need to return for warranty repair. But wanted to describe it here and see if there are any suggestions and advice.
I was charging on an airplane and I tried "chopping" moto-action to turn on the flashlight and it didn't work. I thought that was strange so I disconnected my phone from the power and reset it.
It did not go past the boot screen. I tried holding down power + volume down and it enters the other screen, and I tried scrolling down to enter recovery mode, but when I hit the power button on that selection it goes to the boot screen and stays there again.
If I try to plug it in, it no longer even responds to pressing and holding the power button + volume down anymore, I have to unplug it for it to respond.
I have tried charging it from the wall, and I only use the motorola provided cord and block.
The phone, even after being plugged in and charging (the motorola symbol on the back lights up when plugged in to indicate it's charging), does not actually charge.
When I enter to the other screen it now shows 0% battery warning.
What can I do? I live in the US but this phone was purchased in the UK, so US motorola support will not help me. I'm worried I will have to mail my phone to the UK for repairs, and their live-chat is not active during the same waking hours as the US so I am using my backup phone, but this really sucks...

I guess the only thing you can try is to flash stock firmware on your device search the firmware on google according to your baseband and use adb method to flash it...
