I'm very much new to this, so please take it easy on the terminology, and insults.. :/ Just to be clear ive never rooted this phone or flashed it or anything like that.
I was using my phone and the battery ran really low and it died. I went to turn it on, and it wouldn't turn on, so i charged the battery for a good hour. I press the power button and it vibrates, but the screen stays black.
after that i tried doing a hard reset, so with the phone in that black screen, i took the battery out so it would turn off. Put it back in, followed the instructions for hard reset from the VZW website (without turning the phone on, because i'm still unable to do so), and nothing happened at all. I gave it a couple tries and still nothing.
Then i took the battery out, put it back in, pressed the power button. I felt it vibrate again like last time. So in this post-vibrate state, without removing the battery, while the screen is still black with no power on, i did the hard reset. It vibrated and then now the 4 touch buttons at the screen illuminated, and the backlight turned on, but the screen itself was still black.
can anyone help me out??

Do you get anything when you plug it into a computer? Any new devices that the computer sees? If not. Need to bring it to the Verizon store bud :/

I would say go to tje Verizon store and have them charge your battery. If it takes a charge and powers on then it prolly your port.

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?

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.

Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

So what happened? Did they work out that it was hacked and were you charged?
Here is what happened:
About 3 hours ago I replied to a text messages after it sent my screen shut off abruptly could not get it to turn back on. I have done a battery pull tried Vol rocker + power to boot into boot loader nothing seems to work. The phone has never been wet, dropped once about 3 months ago(doubt it is that). The power button works becuase if I put it on the charger the light comes on and when I hold the power button down it goes out and comes back on as if it is powering up but I have nothing. Is this anything a hard reset could fix and is that possible through adb seeing as I cannot power into anything?
Guess I am just looking for any tips or tricks if someone else has encountered a similar issue? Or do you think my screen just crapped out?
Might be a bad battery pimpin.
Try tyrning it on with cmd (adb)

pull the battery, restart the device with the power button.
if it is simply the screen, it should still vibrate when you fire it up, if it is not vibrating, it is not even turning on.
after that, possible the battery. pull it out and take a voltmeter to it.
after that, if nothing, i think you are pretty much f'd. the fact that it randomly shut off sounds like something was fried.
good luck

Hmm I am thinking it is the battery I left it on the charger overnight and when I tried to boot it this morning my splash screen appeared for about 5 secs and then it shut off again. I am traveling for work right now worst possible time for this to happen. I'll thow a meter on it when I get home to test that out if the battery is good I am assuming something fried and it is a lost cause.
Thanks for the tips everyone I will also try an ADB boot when I return home as well
Need some advice please
Any Flyer member who can advice me please?
Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.
battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.
Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect

It didnt work pressing only vol dow for a while, or presing only power button, it never rests.
Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.
Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...
If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers
Any other advice?

Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.
Nothing happens

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...
If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...
Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.
...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
Thanks.
Update:
I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:
sending..........
updating the Rom image on your android phone
It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!
Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
Orb,
That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.
After it boots again it goes back to normal.
Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply.
Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.
Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?
I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....
I swear never again to remove the back cover
PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...

That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)
I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.

hello
Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.
What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.
Last night i fell asleep and my phone died all the way, and now when i plug it in all i get is a lg logo then it goes away and then a dark lit up screen. ive let it charge for awhile now and i still get nothing, i cant get into cwm either.. the phone is unlocked and rooted and im running the base rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happened to me... leave it on the charger at least 3 hours and check it. The battery completely drains when you unplug the charger if you charged with the phone off. gl
Edit: If it still won't work, turn phone on and plug in charger.

This happened to me too. I completely drained the battery and it kept going into a loop (black screen, LG logo, battery screen). I left it plugged in and off and let it boot up.
FYI
This has happened to several people. I have confirmed through testing, even exchanging my phone 2 days ago that this is an issue created when unlocking the bootloader. Rooting does not cause it. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can not get around this by re-locking the bootloader.
The workaround is simple. Either leave your phone on while it is charging or if you charge with phone off, unplug your charger and hit the power button- you will still see the charge animation running- this is what causes the battery to drain. All you have to do is power up the phone at least to boot then it is ok to turn off. You can confirm it worked by touching the power button again and not see the charge animation. Hope this helps.
Wow thanks so much for the reply and help! I've got it working now and I guess I'll just avoid it by not letting it die lol
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
well...
If you let it die all the way, its not a big deal. Plug it in, hold down the volume down button and the power button for 15 seconds, then it will work fine.
Threads like this makes this forum so great. Another potential problem to be avoided when using the phone.

I could use some help guys, if this thread isn't too old. I've searched high and low to the answer here and nothing is working. I've tried download mode, fastboot, recovery, reset, holding power down, plugging it in and unplugging it. I've pulled the plate off of the battery, tried LGNPST, drivers, etc. No go on anything.
The phone is still dead, and will not turn on. The best I've gotten is a solid red light after holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then after about 3-5 seconds it resumes flashing (alternating between the red light and the key buttons). If I continue holding the power button down it will repeat this, showing solid red and then reverting to flashing.
I can not get the screen to display anything, not even the charging animation, and none of my computers will even recognize the device. I've been messing with it all day and I'm stuck. If anyone can help me, at all, please do. I hate going to Sprint. Anything but that, please.

Some body, please help!
This is the fix. Or should I say "Completely Stupid Time Consuming Trick" that somehow fixes the problem(at least for me) because now my phone powers off and on normally. Here the Steps I've done. I tested this out 4 times and it worked all four times but it was only tested on my device. So this is not guaranteed to work and its time consuming.
Step 1: Plug in charger and let it sit there at the black screen for 7-10min
Step 2: Plug out charger and hold down power button until phone fully powers off
Step 3: Hold Volume up and down at the same time and plug in charger. It should be in download mode. Let it sit there for 7-10min.
Step 4: Repeat Step #2
Step 5: Plug in charger and wait about 20-30secs. :fingers-crossed: If all went well it should go to the battery charging icon or menu or whatever you want to call it. If it does, let it charge for about 5min and fully power it on.
Congrats your phone is now on and past the black screen. :good:
This will temporarily fix the black screen problem. Well... not fix but at least get past it and have your phone on. I suggest you never fully power off your phone and use power off and restart in power option instead of power off. To fully fix it do the following Steps:
Step 6: Power off phone by holding power button until power menu pops up, and by selecting power off. When phone is fully powered off, plug in charger and wait about 20-30secs and see if it goes to the battery charging icon or menu or whatever you want to call it. If it does then proceed to Step 7.
If it does not and just sits there at the black screen, you will have to complete Steps 1-5 to get you phone back on again and retry Step 6.:crying:
Step 7: Let it charge for about 5min and fully power it back on.
Step 8: Power off phone by holding power button until power menu pops up, and by selecting power off. Now power on phone again and see if it powers on WITHOUT THE CHARGER. If so proceed to Step 9.
Again,:crying: If it does not power on and just sits there at the black screen, you will have to complete Steps 1-5 to get you phone back on again and repeat Steps 6-8 again.
Step 9: Power off phone by holding power button until power menu pops up, and by selecting power off.
Step 10: Hold power button until phone flashes lg logo, then goes completely black(not the dim lighted black screen, COMPLETELY BLACK). As soon as it goes completely black, let go of the power button and wait for your phone to power on.
If you phone powers on it should be fully fixed and should power on and off normally(well at least for me). But AGAIN *sighs* If it does not power on and just sits there at the black screen, you will have to complete Steps 1-5 to get you phone back on and repeat Steps 6-10 AGAIN.
I recommend you just do Steps 1-5 to get your phone on and past the black screen. And to use power saving technique's to save battery when not in use of phone or when not near a charger. I may make an YouTube video on how this "Completely Stupid Time Consuming Trick" is done. But anyways this is what I did to fix the black screen issue. Let me know if Steps 1-5 at least gets your phone past the black screen and on. Steps 6-10 is pointless but worked for me but time consuming.

Hello,
I'm currently on Nocturnal Limited Edition rom. But this has been happening to all the roms Ive flashed to this phone. When i fully power off my phone or the battery fully dies, and i try to power it back on, the lg logo flashes then it just sits there on a black screen not turning on. I have to do this stupid little trick to get it back on(plus in the charger and let it sit at the black screen for 7min, hold power button and plug out charger until phone powers off, hold volume up and down then plug in charger and let it sit for 6min, hold power button and plug out charger until phone powers off, then plug back in charger and BAM mysteriously the phone powers on). Its frustrating doing this trick everytime i mistakenly power off or when the battery fully dies. Basically i have to keep my phone on all day with all these power save techniques i do. the only way i can actually restart my phone is by selecting power off and restart, rather than power off. My point is how do i fix this? how do i get it to boot up? i cant even get into bootloader because it wont power up. thanks in advance. :victory::victory:

I once upon a time have this kind of problem, solution below
What i did was remove the back panel, unscrew battery screws unplug battery & keep it unplugged for 1-2hrs or 5-6hrs. Then plug back battery with screws & back panel.
Its back to life !!!!!
I would suggest to take this to at&t replace & if outside usa this is the only possible solution for now.

Well the first time I tried it it failed and got stuck in download mode, after many more tyies and a different computer it finally worked.
After it rebooted it said the battery was dead, so I had to have it on the charger for a while before it would start.
I hope itworks for you on the first try.
I was stuck on this screen after I flashed 2 back to back roms....I tried recovery mode download mode connected to usb to no avail.So I found this post.I let it charge on the black screen for 10 min unplugged it powered it down with volume down and power button and i held down volume up and power and it booted up with the animation for the 2nd Rom I used.Long Story Short battery was dead smh
