Hey,
I got the lumia from a friend, it was working flawlesly under his account,
I went and did a full clean up for the phone through the menus.
the microsoft "wheels" started spinning for a while, it didn't seem to end, I must have pushed the power button assuming
it will just power up again.
well, it does not,
I tried soft and hard reset but the outcome is withe a NOKIA logo centered in the screen it stays there foreever (I gave it a good 15 minutes to try to see if its doing anything),
on another occation it now shows a lightning sign (no nokia sign) with a smaller "wheel" near by. again stays for good 15 minutes and nothing happens.
its now connected to the power, but I have no idea how to try to proceed.
frustrating, all I did is a clean up and the phone won't boot..
ANY help mostly appreciated,

I am in the same boat after trying to flash an Australian ROM onto my Rogers Lumia 920. If you don't live in North America you should be able to download Nokia Care Suite and use the Product Support Tool for Store to refurbish or recover the phone. If you live in North America then you will need to wait for a North American ROM to be available. Hopefully soon! Now that the phone is officially released by AT&T I have been checking, almost every hour, for the ROMs. Still nothing. Hopefully with Rogers official release on Monday we will see something.
I'm struggling to understand why would a "factory" out of the box phone will fail to boot.
I have not flashed or rommed anything,
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because its not logical,
any other suggestions?

Is it charged?
Well, hard to tell,
The situation is that it stays pretty much put on the NOKIA logo in the center of the screen.
Sometimes, with some key sequence I'm yet to "nail" I can get it into a mode where it briefly shows an image of a battery with some red, and an image of an
electric outlet (not sure if it says "connect me" or "I'm connected") but this shows for 4 times (each time disappears) and then the phone goes back to black
then the NOKIA logo in the center.
I've connected it to various computers, charges etc. nothing seem to make an impression on this crazy issue.
hints very welcome,

A short update, and not a very cheerful one,
I handed it here to a local mobile tech shop to try fix it, the guy worked on it (not opening just trying to charge it etc) and
came back to me saying that their (hidden technition forums I guess) forums say it will take a month until they fully understannd how to fix
these devices,

Tried soft reset and hard and it don't do a thing.. Please if anyone can help me..
Thanks
Bump bump anyone?
Same case,, when my lumia 800 run out of battery it goes off, then i tried to charge but nothing happens until right now. It was dead I guess with 'accidentally' power charge

So how do I get it on? I've left it on charge and nothing.. How did you get yours working?
I can't charge mine at all. It either freezes on the Nokia logo, or comes up with the battery icon (red) and sits there doing nothing.
I've tried a range of chargers, from low amp ones to high amp ones. Nothing.
Hi All,
Had a standard Nokia Lumia 920. Did a reset on the phone and it got stuck on the gears screen, so I left it over night. Woke up to find phone off. Started it up and went to Nokia logo then the 3 network logo and then nothing so I plugged it in and downloaded Nokia software updater for retail and it started to update the phone. but failed about half way through, went to try again and now the phone will not turn on. I have left it all night plugged in to a wall charger. Tried power + volume down, power + volume down + camera trick and nothing, no vibration.
If I plug it into my laptop sometimes it will come up and say "USB has malfunctioned"
Has anyone got any ideas/suggestions.
thanks in advance

Hold power button for at least 15 seconds, Other than that its a return to Nokia job.
I am having the same problem before then I switch to samsung galaxy nexus, and I work well all the time.
basic rule: if phone turn off because battery, dont try and try turning on because mighty be bricked... plug charger, (and if not turning on) wait 5 minutes and do soft reset (Volume minus and power button together)
if phone bricked use this solution

Similar Problem
I have the same problem with my Lumia 920 - RM 821.
Already tried all the tools of Nokia, but without results, no vibrate and no image.
My Lumia has stopped completely and I can not fix it.
Hi all.
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 which one evening I was powering off. The next moment I tried to turn it on, it appeard to be stuck in a boot loop or something. It vibrates for two seconds, then after a few seconds, a short vibration comes. This will go on in some kind of loop.
Don't know if the bootloader is trying to get the main FW up and running, without succeeding.
The local smartphone repair centre was trying a new battery and a new screen without getting it on. They simply wrote in their report "mainboard dead".
They did not have the possibility of flashing the FW.
Obviously the phone has some corrupt firmware and it needs to be reflashed.
Here is what I've tried:
I downloaded the Nokia care suite but it seems it does not support flashing a dead Lumia.
I also tried Nokia Software recovery tool, but it cannot connect to the phone - sometimes reporting "cannot read device" and sometimes "the phone is not supported"
I'm running Windows 7 and my PC. Does it perhaps require WinXP?
What can I do?
Thanks in advance, really appreciate it!
EDIT: I tried to follow the guide in this forum how to flash it with Nokia Care Suite, using RM-817 instead of RM-801.
But it seems I don't have the productfolders in this guide containing RM-801. Please help!!
Anyone know what I can do about this?

Okay, check this out:
First alternative, try a soft reset:
1. Turn off your Lumia, and press Volume Down + Power button until the phones vibrates and restart
Second alternative (you will lose all your content on the Lumia), try a hard reset:
1. Press and hold the Volume Down, Power and Camera key simultaneously until you feel your phone vibrates, then release the Power key and continue to hold the Volume Down and Camera key for a further 5 seconds.
Now your phone should start to return to the factory default settings
Last alternative (you will lose all your content on the Lumia), Chimeratool:
1. Try to install Chimeratool (https://chimeratool.com/downloads) on your computer, and make a trail account
2. Turn off your Lumia, then connect via USB, while pressing Volume Up
3. Try to click on "Factory reset modem"
Good luck!
Would you believe it, the chimeratool fixed my Lumia 800 !!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH Youngboy.
I didn't thought it was possible to save the Lumia without a J-TAG gadget or something.
Doing this by pure USB connection is pure magic.
And the phone kept all my personal stuff, pictures, contacts and so on. Great!
Again, thank you very much!!
My phone has the exact same symptoms, but even after doing anything you suggested it still does not turn on.
Is there anything else I could try or should I consider it gone for good?

I have exactly the same problem on my Lumia 800 (RM-801), that my Lumia won´t start when my battery is completely discarge by putting it in the charging cable. My solution is to first put the charging cable in the Lumia, and lett it charge for around 45 minutes. Then take the chargingcable out. Hold the power for around 15 second. Then release it. And hold it again.

in my case when the battery is completely discharge i put the phone in charge (when i plug the cable charges phone vibrates for 2 sec and 1 sec), no display battery red icon appear on it so i leave it charge usually for 5/10 Min then after i disconnect charger, press start for 2 sec and the phone boot... note: with official firmware WP 7.8 the boot sequence is ok but i think that little problem is a good compromise for have installed rainbowmod on my lumia ;D
Hello, friends
Out of the blue, my S6 Edge tried to restart, but got stuck in a loop at the Samsung Logo. One or two times it went to "insert pin" and then restarted again. I tried to Force Restart and it didn't solve the problem.
After a few tries, I managed to wipe the cache partition. Now it's simply bricked with a black screen and a Solid White LED. I can't restart it, enter download mode or safe mode or anything. Odin doesn't recognize it at all. Is there anything I could try?
The phone is not rooted.

Thank you! Tried it. Doesn't work. It's beyond my understading why would it behave this way after I managed to clear the cache. At least before that it went into download mode or safe mode. I still suspect a software issue.

So vol down + home + power will not get you to download mode?
How about recovery? Vol up + home + power?
This happened to me before and the way i got out of it was hold only vol down + power as soon as the screen went off completely (no led lit) switch to download mode combo.
Tried both of the commands. They didn't work. I will let it drain the battery completely and then see what happens.

reminds me of the bad emmc memory like the note 4s had.
some times completly letting the battery drain can fix it being "stuck". then recharge for 20 min or so then trying to turn on.
if u plug it into pc does it reconize anything in device manager
even unknown device or descriptor failed anythiing at all?
This morning the LED was off, so I tried to recharge it. Nothing happens. Also, the PC doesn't detect it at all. I think it's safe to assume I need a new phone. Too bad...at least if I was able to recover the data on this.

you can thank sammy for no ext sd card for that one or more than likely pics would be on sd
now one last sollution is to try buying a cheap battery my note 5 had a issue it shut of one day and wouldnt do nothing i understand ures was blinkik and trying at least
so its a leap but last resort
same problem here started over a week ago - samsung S6: black screen, constant white led. tried all variations of resetting with buttons. over a year ago i replaced the battery, and its been fine since. when this no boot issued happened i also tried changing the battery to a known good one. on inserting a battery and then pressing the power button the indicator led will go to green for less than a second before changing to constant white, and it stays that way no matter what until the battery is drained or the battery is removed. Strange thing is there is no information from samsung on what this behaviour means, but I've come across dozens of other S6 owners on the web with the same problem, so this is obviously diagnostic behaviour designed by samsung - but no info from samsung. the phone has never been damaged or watered or rooted so I'm at a loss.
Confirmed diagnostics:
The phone will respond to the power button and attempt to turn on
The phone will charge a battery, so the charging circuits and battery circuits are working.
The phone does not get picked up by a Windows 10 PC with Kies installed in any state - other samsung phones get picked up no problem.
Same here
I have the same symptoms. When I hild the vol up+home+pwr I get a green let for 1/2 sec then white. No other combinations do a thing. I swapped the battery for a new one. No luck.
Mine started a few days ago. The phone was 50% charge and i plugged it in for two hours. Came back and it had a solid red led. After a few hours the red light went off. It was then 100% unresponsive. I then took it apart and disconnected the battery. When I reconnected it, it started to do the white let thing described above

I have one that behaves exactly the same I changed the battery and didn't make any difference. my next step is to replace power management chip. I'll let you know.
Any luck on this?
Mine has been like this for a couple months, kind of gave up on it, but decided to give it a go again!
Same problem here, just happend after switching the battery. Anyone have solved this?
I found a kinda solution, plug your charger in and charge past 30% then unplug charger. then use just vol down and power button for 7-10 seconds, after 7-10 seconds just release the power button while still holding vol down button until you see samsung logo, you can tell if you did it wrong by the solid led being back on, repeat until success, once you have it on do NOT press the power button or it will RESET back to solid led/black screen.
I have the same problem with my s6 active and similar story to dbeeheim. Has anyone fixed this? And can anyone confirm that enzo13's solution works?
Much thanks in advance!!
i have same problem!
Suddenly my S6 dead, battery was ~80%, no charge
yesterday i try to change battery, after that if push power button, LED small light comes but in white with purple, then stuck. (it's small Notifications LED)
and i chnge the screen, but no more than white/prople LED.
(no any thing on screen, always black..)
what is the problem?
i think it's battery because it last month didn't work good, and it's old 3years battery.. but no idea..
Hello guys my Samsung S6 sm-g920f has the solid white led and black screen. Really no fixes?
thank you
Same issue
I have the exact same issue. My Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F) suddenly died and won't get past the 'Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android' screen.
I am unable to reach the recovery options. I've tried flashing two different stock ROMs with Odin which succeed but without successfully turning on my phone. I've also tried flashing TWRP with success in Odin but it won't get past the 'Powered by Android' screen before turning off after +-4 seconds. The white LED is on even when the screen is black.
Just had this same issue, my battery died and I forgot to charge my phone overnight, woke up and it would not turn on, black screen. I did manage to replace the battery and do several diagnostic tests on it. My battery was receiving about half the power output it should be (this is normal it's a 4.5yo phone) and when I replaced the battery with a new one, it did not turn on. With wireless charging I can tell I am receiving a charge and with standard I can not. The screen does not indicate it is charging with either method but my wireless charging pad lights up indicating my phone is being charged. I think it may be the processor or screen itself. This really sucks because I lost all my data on my phone and data recovery can be over $500
