Did you ever get your phone working again?? I have one thats stuck doing the same thing

Same question
Sorry to dig up a dead corpse of a thread, but it never got answered and I have the same problem, only different
No, really it's the same, except not on rebot. My screen goes blue all of its own, when the phone - Lenovo K910 dual sim, running CM 12.1 - is sitting in the desk doing nothing. The first time it happened was when I got an SMS, now it's AFAICT completely random. The screen then goes black sometimes and the blue LED comes on; sometimes it just stays blue. When I force restart, the phone usually wakes up OK, though at the very beginning, yesterday, there were graphical glitches on the screen (coloured bars, different levels of brightness, graphical corruption like you get on your PC when the GPU or memory are dying/glitching.
Since yesterday it has happened about a dozen times. It's got to the point where I am unable to trust the phone (will it throw a fit just as my employer calls me with something important?) and buying a replacement is not something I planned to do for another year, so it'd put a dent in my savings. Can anyone shed any light on this, please? Preferably backed with experience, because in terms of wild guesses I'm Noah's least favourite neighbour (flooded to hell, I mean ).
Thanks in advance!

Same Issue on CM12.1 CricKet Wireless ALCATEL onetouch idol3(5.5) 6045O
I am also experiencing this issue when i power on my Alcatel onetouch idol3(5.5) running CM12.1 when I attempt to power on my device while it is charging. When I do a hard reset however it is able to boot fine. Have you tried to perform a hard reset pressing and holding all buttons at once (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down) until the phone resets...

I'm having the EXACT same problem... Down to the annoying blue LED. I just got the phone (Lenovo K920) 7 months ago. Has anyone found a fix yet?

Nope, the phone's dead and I had to buy a replacement. Needless to say, NOT a Lenovo.

I have a blue screen on my lg android phone,I woke up this morning to find my phone not on, I always leave it on & charge it every night, Well last night it was on & plugged in to charge & when morning came, I find the phone off & try to turn it on & it starts up to a black screen saying lg android & verizon in the right bottom screen & then goes to a blue screen afterwards & then shuts off again. One of my workers I work with, Told me it could be a internal damage inside the phone,But my Mom told me it could be my battery. I read on the internet If your phone has a blue screeen, Try pulling the back & battery out & leave them out of your phone for 10 minutes & after 10 minutes, Put the battery & back on the phone again & try to turn your phone on to see if that helps & if that doesn't work, Then try buying a new battery for it to see if that helps & if that doesn't help, Then you might have to bring it to where you got your phone for them to fix it. I have tried the 10 minute with battery & back off & nothing worked for me. So I was gonna try to buy a new battery to see if that worked.

[Q] Xperia X10 won't turn on.

Hi. The phone application was not functioning well and the F/C dialog showed up. I powered off the phone and from that point, the phone won't turn on.
The battery was fully charged before this happened.
When I press the power button, the phone vibrates for half a second, the screen brightens up but does not show anything but a black screen.
I removed SIM and SD cards, removed the battery and performed the above steps but nothing happened.
I also tried to put on the charger to see what's going on. Once I plug the charger, the phone's screen brightens but shows only blank (even without pressing the power button)
When connected to the charger, the green light for charging is on for some minutes, then goes off automatically.
I tried to connect it to the PC, and PC Companion finds the device as usually. It even shows the dialog on the pc screen to mount the device.
I tried a hard reset, but does not work
On some point, the sony logo appeared and then a dialog saying: "sorry process system is not responding". The first time I pressed Force Close and the phone turned off. Immediately after that, the phone turned on and showed the exact message. I pressed "Wait" but nothing happened in the next 15 minutes.
I called Sony's support center and they suggested a software update. Did the process exactly as it should, but again, even after the software update the screen shows nothing but black. It is all the time brightened for some reason.
I tried to turn off the phone for some time by removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on, the phone's screen brightens and stays that way forever.
The phone was functioning perfectly up until this issue. The only application I had installed apart from some games, was AWDLauncher. On the screen I had only a TASK widget and a battery status widget.
The phone is 3 months old and has been always in perfect condition.
ANY help would be appreciated!!!!
Many Thanks
Try to format phone with this method hope it should work as it seems the issue is with OS only ..

I tried the steps found in the link you gave me, but I couldn't go any further after step no (5) from the tutorial, as it would require to enable Debugging mode and I cannot access the OS (since the device won't turn on).
Is there a way to format all the contents of the device and have them replaced by running SEUS (as it always says that my device is up to date now)?
Was it this:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
That Sony Ericsson told you to do?
If not, use that.
Download it, follow the steps when it says you have the latest version, press "Install Anyway".
Hope this works.
Hi itTim. thanks for the response
this is what i did but no improvement at all ((
Sounds like you broke your LCD screen somehow.
That would suck because I broke mine and it cost me $200 to fix.
Hi Hypercore.
Yes that could be the problem. The thing is that I always took rally good care of the phone, always carried in a leather pouch and never droped it. How sensitive is this lcd anyway?? Did you notice any cracks on your lcd or was the problem simillar to mine?
Thanks
When you turn on the phone does the lcd backlight turn on?
If so, look for any faint lines of color (usually a hairline size). If you see any of those then your screen is cracked.
the backlight is on, but there are no lines of colour on the lcd screen.
another weird thing is that the green light on the top blinks one or two times every time i put on the battery. even if the phone is off, once I insert the battery turns on automatically after a couple of seconds.
If all else fails you could try to flash back to your original fw with the tools here:

That won't do anything.
I had almost the same issue. Nothing worked. But, when I removed the battery and left it for a day (24h) without it, it just started working again. Still working without issues..
Good luck!

Phones are very wierd pieces of technology. I once bricked my k610i and that's a phone that's supposed to be impossible to un-brick, but out of nowhere a month or so later i picked it up, hit power and it turned on perfectly. Made no sense at all, but it worked.
Taking the battery out for a long time probably took all the electrical charges from it (kind of like how a computer power supply / monitor can hold power charges) and reset your handset.

Indeed. It could be a frozen chip, memory fault, power-regulator and so on.

if you have done this and did not worked , then it is the LCD.
send it to workshop and check it there.
Guys i Really need the solve of this problem , my xperia has blank screen now without backlight and the phone completely doesn't work . when i put the battery and prees the switch botton it gives me 3 red signals , i've updated and hard reset but it didn't work , and btw the LCD is fine , any idea. did removing the battery worked???? . please answer
After a looooot of time since my latest post, finally my Xperia came back to life. There was a battery failure which means the phone was ok all the time. Weird thing is that the led light showed that the battery was charging ok. I removed the battery and after a lot of time it is working ok again. This was really really odd.
FYI for anyone else that gets this issue.
I just had this for the past hour after trying to change my baseband....could not get it back for anything.
What I did finally try was run another baseband via flash tool, connected to usb and it started flashing....after flash phone powered on again...yeah I agree with everyone, that is freaking scary when it happens.

Galaxy SII BLACK SCREEN - DOESN' T TURN ON

HI First time here for me.
I was surfing the net on my t989 and the screen went black. I try to restart but the phone vibrates for one second and nothing happens. I took out the battery and SIM card and put back the battery, push ON button, phone vibrates but do not start. I try to charge but it vibrates every 5 seconds, but it doesn't start. The phone is new - one month - just install 9-10 aplications. Please help. Thanks
Same thing happened to my SGS..power IC was damaged in mine.

Have you underclocked/undervolted it at any stage? If so, try using ODIN to restore to stock, if you can even get into Download Mode. If not, send it into a Samsung Service Center.
Yes it sounds like it is not charging and the battery is flat! With the phone OFF you should briefly see a picture of the battery when you plug the phone into the charger.
Try putting in a fully charged battery from an another S2.
Can you get to Download mode (Powered off, press Vol up+Home+Power at the same time) or Recovery mode (Powered off, press Vol up+Home+Power)? If not, then you're in really bad waters...
Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I did't do anything to this phone since I bought it. Just 9 apps dowloaded. Worked fine and yesterday it got dead. I just do light web surf and some emails. Do you have any idea, please? I hate to have to returned since I'm in Canada and I couldn't even register this phone with samsund.com sice it is allowed only US addresses.

If you can't even get into Download Mode, as detailed above, really you're out of options for the most part. Looks like returning it is your only option.

[Q] Samsung S2 stuck in boot loop, cannot access Recovery Mode.

Hey Guys, ive scoured google for 2 days now trying to find a way to fix my phone.
two days ago i was doing some work and i left my phone on the table, and later i found out that the battery was low and it had shut off. But when i looked at it, it was just flashing the "samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100" text logo. (and not the animation circle logo.)
I tried turning it off, didnt work so i thought it had frozen which happens, so i took out the battery and put it back in again.
Then i tried to plug it into my recharger, and it was showing a grey battery icon and was frozen on that screen always, the screen doesnt turn off, the battery icon isn't showing that its charging. doesnt change, just shows the same empty battery grey icon with the refresh circle-arrow in the middle.
I tried taking the battery out leaving it out for 5 minutes, draining the battery from the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then trying to charge the phone. Same issue, only showing the grey battery icon when trying to charge and it never changes or goes away.
SO i tried to boot up the phone, but it wont go past the samsung text logo.
I tried entering recovery, but it just freezes on the samsung text logo.
I can enter Odin download mode, and ive tried installing several different both stock, original and CMW roms, and nothing changes. (except if i use gingerbread, then the grey battery icon just keeps flashing off and on in 5 second intervals when plugged into the charger.)
Ive tried taking the battery out for 8 hours and try booting it, no change.
Ive tried changing the battery, no change (think it has low bat as well maybe).
Ive tried leaving it plugged in overnight, but that only drained whatever power i had left over in one of the batteries.
Ive tried some of the siyah and doriman kernels, and they add a loading bar which gets full on the samsung text screen,
but then freezes after that.
Im losing my mind here, ive tried almost everything i can think of. And would really appreciate any help on this.
UPDATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so to keep this post updated for people experiencing the same issues.
IT seems there is a hardware failure in progress.
BUT i managed to get a temporary fix, it seems that by having the ear plugs connected into the earphone jack in the phone, the phone becomes somewhat usable. I was able to get into recovery, and able to flash a new stock, and its up and running, but as i said this is only a temporary solution as the real issue is that the phone is not conducting the electricity in a proper way that allowed me to recharge my batteries until i had added the earphones...
The phone becomes unusable for me when i remove the earphones again, as i believe its failing to conduct the electricity from the battery properly through the motherboard without something connected into the earphone jack..
SO for people having issues with their phones, it might be a possible way to get your phone temporarily operational again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread, download the 3 part stock firmware linked in the thread, flash it with Odin (only if you absolutely have an I9100/I9100T though).
Edit - Doesn't sound promising though, cross your fingers doing that works.
yeah i tried hoppers guide, didnt help me.
Still stuck on the samsung screen.
Whats wierd is, if ive got the phone on charging, it wont boot to the samsung screen even, it just turns itself off
and returns to the grey battery icon again.
Hang on....Did you try flashing the 3 part firmware like I mentioned ? If you haven't, do it. If you have, it's a service centre/local mobile repair shop job.

Yeah, tried 3 part, even another packages with pit files bootloader and repartitioning from another guide.
still no change, still freezes at samsung text screen.
I dont want to take it to a service center, as there is none around here as far as i know. Norway.
If i can just get it into recovery mode i can prob fix it, but i cant fracking enter recovery. Its driving me insane.
Given what you've tried, no chance of fixing it yourself by the usual methods.
Either take it to a local mobile repair shop & ask them to source a 2nd hand motherboard for you & put it in, or you source one (from a 'donor' phone; a phone with a broken screen that is otherwise OK for example, search online) & either replace it yourself or pay the local mobile repair shop to do it if you're not confident enough.
have you ever flashed a rom on that before..... or is this a stock ROM phone we are talking about???
if it was a stock ROM phone....then did it receive updates over carrier network and started to install itself???
if yes then you should have not stopped it...... i have some problem with phone 3 days ago.... i downloaded latest XWMS1 released for nordic region....... phone is fixed and i am back to neatrom 5.3.1
i suggest you download XWMS1 ...and try flashing it via Odin..... might start......
keep fingers crossed

It wasn't any update or anything, it was related to the battery i think as the batt was low.
And instead of recharging the battery, it went into bootloop and started draining the battery more when it was plugged into the charger.
ive downloaded xwms1, still stuck in bootloop.
Ive even opened it up to see if it was a hardware issue, i see no flaws, all buttons work and nothing is stuck.
the phone just keeps going to the samsung logo, and wont go into recovery mode.
It can easily go into download mode, but recovery mode is just not happening.
at this point i just ordered the Xperia Z1 instead, but i still want to fix this phone and give it to my dad or something.

errrrm - just a thought (and it's a real long shot) I had some strange battery drain (bootloop) issues with a brand new i9100 and it turned out that the micro sd card I was using was corrupt, took it out and it worked. Might be worth a try but like I said its a long shot. If that does not work I agree with mistahbungle and looks like you wil need to replace the mb.

I've went through this on my Hercules, T-Mobile S2. I had Android tweaker pro, removed all of the tweaks, and rebooted. It took me quite a while but I was able to get into recovery by the normal button mashing.
DO NOT HAVE THE PHONE PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGER.
PRESS THE VOLUME BUTTONS THEN THE POWER BUTTON WHILE STILL HOLDING THE VOLUME BUTTONS.
AS SOON AS YOU FEEL THE FIRST VIBRATION, LET GO OF ONLY THE POWER BUTTON!
CONTINUE TO HOLD THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL YOUR RECOVERY LOADS.
THAT IS WHAT HAS WORKED FOR ME.

i kinda cloned my ROM , it happened by mistake while trying to flash my kernel , now that my phone is stuck in samsung start up logo , . tried to reboot still the same result. . . :crying:
No recovery ? If that's the case, stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin to get a 'clean slate' (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has instructions) & re-try whatever it was you wanted to do. If you do have recovery, try a factory reset in the first instance, if that doesn't work or if you have recovery but can't do one for whatever reason, proceed with the stock flash via Odin.
Thanks
thanks a lot mate , my fone back in action. successfully flashed, now running on JB 4.3.1 on Paranoidandroid 3.99-RC2 , so far so good .:victory:

A friend of mine had am Android phone that had a similar problem. It always showed the headphones on the status bar and Could not be heard. If you will take your phone apart then you can look for bridges in the solder points. These happen from poor construction and over heating. Fix the bridges and you should be good to go.

I did take it apart and had a quick look, all seems ok. However I was not ready to junk the phone so I improvised a little, its not pretty but it works.
I had an old headphone jack which I cut down so as it would just fit into the jack point, installed Soundabout Pro app which forces the calls to come out the earpiece and not headphones voila it works. In the end it cost me a lot of time surfing countless forums, anger management control and some joy at getting it to work. Still without the help people give on this and other forums it would be a useless phone :fingers-crossed:

[Q] GS4 will NOT turn on

My phone has been working fine for the last year and a half regarding hardware and battery. The device itself has never given me any issues and the hardware is in pristine condition. Roughly three months ago I bought a ZeroLemon battery and case and have been using that since. The battery is also in great condition (no warping or expanding) and the case still looks brand new. BUT today when I went to use my phone (about 20 minutes after I unplugged it) I noticed it was off, and it will not turn back on at all. It will load the splash screen (it's rooted and has Xposed framework installed) but after one or two seconds it shuts of immediately. Somehow I did get it to boot into TWRP and I was able to make a quick backup, disable Xposed, run a quick factory reset and fix permissions. I flashed Cyanogen M12 and I thought everything was working fine (I was running M12 before and have been running Cyanogen for as long as I can remember.) but after 5-10 minutes the phone randomly shut off again. I have looked into this issue all day now and everyone that has had a similar problem has had battery issues. I have tried 4 different STOCK batteries today, as well as my ZeroLemon one and nothing has gotten it past the splash screen again. I am almost certain this is NOT a hardware issue but I have no idea what would cause it in the terms of software, since I haven't changed anything recently. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know. I'm looking for immediate fixes right now, so sending it back in or getting a new phone are secondary options. If you have advice just let me know in a comment or PM me, thanks guys!
Edit: At this point I can't do anything, ie: enter recovery, get the splash screen, enter odin (anything) it's like the battery is dead but the same exact battery works just fine in my friends phone.
Have you tried downloading the MDK full wipe tar, flashing it with odin, and using loki to root and bypass bootloader again?
So it turns out - after I took it apart - it has a defective power button. The actual piece that is soldered on. I don't know how to go about fixing it from here
Kind of strange but my device did the same thing today. I have tried multiple batteries with no luck. Will boot but then turn off before it reaches the boot animation. When I try to enter recovery or download mode it does the same thing.
Have either of y'all found a fix yet? My phone has the same issue (turning itself off after about 2-3 seconds after the boot animation begins).

I think he said it was an issue with his power button.

Mediapad S7-301u starts but not charging

Hi All,
I wanted to turn my tablet on this afternoon, and it did.
Plugged it right in the wall power socket, but after my Cyanogenmod logo, my tablet says it is empty and turns off...
I have charged it now for 2 hours, but still switching off...
I have flashed different roms, including the stock rom, but nothing helped.
Does someone has something to repair this, or is it just a dead battery?
I hope to hear something soon.
Greetings,
Rik
Bump
FYI: The TWRP recovery mode works.
But it says CPU: 0C (zero degrees Celsius).
I can flash any rom, except the stock one...
I can't boot further than my lockscreen, then it says something about the battery is empty, and it turns off.
This keeps cycling until I stop trying to boot it...
Please help me!
Bump
Nobody with a Mediapad that can help me???

No, until now my tablet is still stuck in that loop.
Therefore a BUMP!
Some new information for you..
I bought a new battery, swapped it with the original one - still the same.
I can update the system via sd card, by starting the tablet and pressing all buttons together.
Flashing works fine, it boots until i see the android beginng menu (with language selection etc..) and then it turns off.
The only thing i can see from then on is the red battery symbol, showing low battery..

Damn that the new battery didn't work.
I have got the same problem as you...
You do not have found an other solution??
I hope someone can resolve this problem... :crying:
Make sure the battery plug is connected correctly. After changing battery I had to reopen the pad twice because battery stayed at 0%. It is a bad plug, maybe it can already get loose because your tablet fell of the table.
Also look at the manufacture date of your "new" battery. Mine was from 2011 !!! Surprisingly it works, but yours could be bought dead.
