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

Am having really bad trouble with my X10. Ive got no idea what is causing the problem and its really starting to annoy me now as its been happening for a while , if anybody can try and explain to me what I can do to diagnose the problem.
I charged my phone to 100% today 5 hours later it was on 50% that was with heavy use so that was fine .. 10 minutes later My phone switched it self off , After turning on my Phone the battery level was about 18% and I noticed that my phone stated that last unplugged went from 5 hours to 2 mins when it wasnt plugged in about 5 minutes later my phone battery was dead.
"On a dead battery" I charge my phone and it must take about 15 minutes for it to come back on before it starts charging, I simple get a red slowly steady blinking light . but when myphone does eventually come on It charges from 1%...
So if anybody can help me because its really frustrating now !!
Tried software restore & battery calibration Neither worked
Thanks,
craig
Have you tried the S.E. support for this strange problem that still hasn't been fixed. Have you also tried to ''wipe battery stats in xRecovery'' and then in SEUS software repair.
Try this method and tell me if it worked. (Before doing charge battery to 100%!)
Boot into xRecovery
Advanced
Wipe Battery Stats
Start SEUS
Let it ask to connect phone
Put usb in phone and computer (while your still in xrecovery)
Go to reboot phone
Press the home button and immediately after that press on your back button to let your phone connect in flash mode
SEUS will install software
Tell me if it helped.

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.

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!
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.
Today i decided to try out the nocturnal rom, but before that i had to make a backup. at the the time the phone was what i would a call luke warm so i paid no mind to it. so a few minutes later i look back at the phone and notice that the screen turned off annd the phone was now averagely hot
so i let it cool down for a bit (i thought that the phone must have shut itself off in order to make sure the internals wouldn't be damaged), then when i try to turn it on the lg logo does show up but never gets to the base roms nexus boot animation, now i'm thinking that TWRP must have drained my battery because when i usually make a backup my battery can go from 94% to 50% in a span of 7 minutes (only during backup). So i leave it to charge for 30 minutes 1 hour and then 5 hours but each time i check it still won't turn on correctly.
Now i have had this happen to me before, when i had the atrix 4g this happened and i had to buy a battery only charger to even get it to work again
but as we all know that won't work for the optimus g because you cannot take out the battery.
so i have to ask, what should i do? is there any way to fix this?
Side note: can't get into recovery (seems to shut off before it loads up, its like an infinite loop of dying and turning on again) the power button still glows while its connected giving the appearance of charging but it still never boots up all the way ( the most i can get it to is the part of recovery before going into TWRP. you know holding vol+ and seeing fastboot mode)
There is thread here someone made of disassembly. You can do a battery pull pretty easily. Never know might help.
Have you tried download mode at all BTW?
Sounds more like something was deleted then a batter problem to me. If download mode works you could try lgnpst back to stock.
The information in THIS thread might be able to help.
I can't vouch for it because I haven't experienced these problems, but the OP there seemed to get his problem fixed.
GL.
Although, looking things over, sounds like you have a different issue.
So you can get to the bootloader?
from the bootloader have you tried hitting the volume down key twice then hitting power?
That should reboot you into recovery, where you can restore something or flash stock.
Edit. Quote from FreeGee post.
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.

when i try to get into TWRP it doesnt start up, same as when it trys to turn on, it seems to die before it boots fully or so to say the screen
goes from a backlit black to just black and then it doesn't come on again. (looking at thread and nothing has worked yet i'm now trying last advice in thread since my phone won't even turn on unless its connected to the charger)
also i have no idea what download mode is but since nothing seems to be working i will assume that does not work either
Edit: actually maybe i can lgnpst. all i have to do is be able to get into the bootloader right? going to try in the afternoon.

well the lgnpst did work but the battery still won't charge, so if i can't get a replacement i'll try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039707 and see if i can charge it.
now a different question...
does anyone know if i can exchange the phone at an att store if i bought it from amazon or would i have to go through amazon?
and exactly how does that work?

Amazon is actually VERY easy to deal with, and a HELL of a lot easier than AT&T. They'll ship you out a replacement, you send the old one back once you receive the new one. Done. You MAY have to send the old one first, but if you let them put a hold on a credit card, I believe they'll definitely ship first.
You may be able to fix this by holding down both the volume down and power buttons for at least 45 seconds after you plug in the phone.
so
STEP 1: PLUG IN PHONE
STEP 2: PRESS AND HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN AND POWER KEYS TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST 45 SECONDS
STEP 3: LEAVE PLUGGED IN FOR TEN MINUTES
STEP 4; BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE, WIPE BATTERY STATS, WIPE CACHE, AND WIPE DALVIK, THEN REBOOT TO SYSTEM FROM WITHIN RECOVERY.
LAST PART IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
I've gone the three of these for various reasons and some times lgnpst pretends to work and you need to do it again. And some times you need to wipe data boot back into download and do it again. This phone is retarded.
