Hi everyone,
I purchased a used AT&T Note 1 ( i717 ) with some cosmetic defects. Ordered new parts from various vendors. Everything on the phone worked okay prior to repairs. I replaced the front bezel and put in a new screen with glass. The screen and glass came as one unit. It was almost $200. After the minor phone surgery, which took about two hours, the phone power on. The Samsung logo shows for about a second, the the screen goes black. Phone rings when I call it. All the buttons work, but nothing shows on the screen. I can put it into download mode, and the screen displays the download mode on it. When I try to go into recovery mode, the screen is blank. Also, with the phone powered off, when I plug in a charger, all I get is an image of an empty battery with a circle in it. I ordered a new battery, and the same thing happens. Again, screen only stays on in download mode, and battery won't charge when the phone is off. Please help. I'd hate to think all the money and time spent was for nothing. Thanks.

More courage than I to do the work. All I know is you are not the first to have this problem. If you ran a search on screen replacement, you would most likely find this out and the solution.
Good luck.

Go back and check the ribbon cables and the pin connectors. These are always troublesome and very easy to damage, the video cable in particular. Another thing to check is that the on/off button is not obstructed in some way by the new bezel.
Lastly, do you have an external charger for your battery? If the new battery is factory fresh you may need to charge it prior to putting it in the device just to check that the USB/charging port is working.
Good luck.

Thanks for your replay. Checked the cables and the switch a few times, and it didn't correct the issue. I ordered a battery charger for Samsung batteries. Should be here Friday. I honestly believe it's a battery stats issue. At least that's the impression I get reading other posts, but I can't get into the recovery mode to reset unless there's a way to ADB without a working screen. Thanks again.
Phew... The external battery charger did the trick. I removed the battery from the phone, and fully charged it using a Hyperion Dual charger. Re-inserted the battery, and turned the phone on. At first, phone turned on with a black screen, but once it booted up, I swipe unlocked the phone. The screen flickered for a few seconds, and voila... phone is again fully functional. Thanks everyone for very thorough, and insightful posts. Xda-developers.com Rocks! :laugh:

So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I then plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I tried charging the battery and left it alone for an hour and afterwards the result is the same. Basically when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon as if its going to charge for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the battery icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this for a couple of minutes until the screen finally stays blank.
So as I said even though I leave the phone to charge for a while, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm near the camera. Also I tried to see if download mode works and pressed both volume buttons and I get a brief flash of some words. After doing it for several times I saw it said 'Low battery, cannot download' all in red.
I searched the forum and tried leaving the battery out for a while and also putting it in the fridge to see if anything would happen but nothing. So can anyone help? Is it just the battery?
Could be the battery - if you are on good terms with a local ATT store, try going there and asking if you can borrow a battery from their demo device to see if yours will power up. That's the best cheap way I can think of to rule that out.
Other possibility is a bad USB port. My first device developed a failure at about 2 months - I'm actually on day 5 with my warranty replacement. There is another member here, Moustro I think, who also may have a bad USB port. He and I were wondering if perhaps there was a bad batch out there. I'm not sure what ATT's warranty policy is for items re-sold on eBay, but might be worth checking out...
yeah that does sound like it could be the battery boot loop, take some photos of the battery to see if it is the oem... if it is the oem try a stand alone chager

I live in Canada don't think I'd get much help from AT&T probably.
Also the battery is the original one and not a replacement. I left it unplugged for a few hours and just now plugged it back in and its the same battery icon flashing for a couple of minutes and then blank screen. No charging whatsoever. I tried different outlets and different USB ports on my notebook and its all the same.
I also have an Infuse and charging for that every by every method is just fine so its my SII that's messed up.
If it's any condolence to you, I just bought a brand new GS2 from the ATT store today. The battery was semi-charged when I got it, and when it ran out, I plugged it in and got the same thing you did. Battery is flashing, cannot power it on, even plugged in. I also got the red "Low battery, cannot download".
I spent the better part of 4 hours reloading my apps and email addys, and everything else to get my phone up and running, and now this.
I am going back to the ATT store tomorrow and requesting a different brand new one.
This is my 2nd GS2, because I destroyed my first one in an accident.
Just as dandrumheller was saying. I had simimiar issues where the phone battery would blink on and off even if the charger was plugged in or not while the phone was powered off. The only way I could get my phone to boot to prepare it for warranty exchange was to flash a rom through Odin. But if you can't get it into download mode this wouldn't work.
My suggestion would be to use a different battery. That would let you know if its a hardware issue or bad battery.
hmm...
I was able to to get it to power on last night with what little battery was left. I then plugged it into the USB of my Mac, rather than the charging wart. When I awoke this AM, I have a fully charged battery, and a working phone. I will let the battery run out again completely today and see what happens.
That's great news! I hope it continues to work for you
I would not let it completely run out. Our batteries don't like that. Don't go below 25 percent. I'm glad you got it working. I know you're relieved.

I'm not sure relieved is the right word.
Apprehensive might be better.
We all know AT&T isn't in the best graces with most.
They must be the ***** of Comcast.
Anybody got anymore suggestions?? Can't get it to work no matter what I try.
Call samsung and see if they will honor the warranty? Don't know their rules, but in another thread someone suggested that sale of the phone does not void the warranty.

Max,
Were you able to find a fix for your problem? i bought a SGII from ebay and is presenting the same issue
For what its worth I am able to enter download with NO battery. In fact I ONLY do it without a battery. I just hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB to my computer while not pressing anything else. Without battery.
Thought the OP said he couldn't enter download.... so if that doesn't throw it in download it's more than just battery.

Guys,
I tried this and it worked...
At a last resort, i put the battery on nexus to see if it will charge and DAMN !! it did,, so the battery was not the issue...so i grab a swab with little alcohol then clean the terminals on the battery and the spring connectors on the phone... and voila !!! started charging and keeps working perfectly.
It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you guys.
Glad you were able to isolate the problem.
Sent from my SGH-I777 running MIUI with Siyah
Same problem
Flashing on for a sec then flashing off, buttons flashed too. Phone got hot around the battery. Couldn't have described the problem better
Took some alcohol, cleaned the contacts for the USB connector, cleaned the battery contacts, and booyah, got the charging symbol again! Problem was, I didn't use the phone for a month, it rode around in the front pocket of my laptop bag, and apparently got the contacts dirty. A little toothpick and q-tip fun later, and my phone started charging again. Thanks -

Really? I've had mostly HTC phones and we could run them down pretty low.. I've been running mine down past 10 and it's been fine.. stock battery.
I had the same problem as op. My last resort was to cut the micro usb end of a spare cable and connected it to the (+) and (-) on the phone itself. since the phone booted up, i knew it was the battery. Next, i did the same thing but (+) and (-) on the battery itself while connected to a computer. i held it in place for about 10 seconds. put the battery back in the phone and it started charging again. im sure it wasnt the safeat thing to do, but it worked. Maybe the dead battery needed some kind of jump.
btw. The wires you would be using are the the black and red. and i got this idea from

I believe these are different types of batteries. Not Lithium, but something else. I bought some spare batteries from eBay and the batteries had the same instructions... That it is not good to let them die completely, and charge then preferably when they still have 1/3 charge left.

Hello all.
This guide will help you if you have:
A phone that will not turn on unless you plug it in and even then only an LG sign shows up followed by either blank/ rapidly flashing red light.
to my knowledge, what happened to put the phone in this state is the battery died while you were flashing a rom or something as such and the phone got confused on if it should be in charge mode or not.
being that the phone has a sealed battery, it is not as easy to pull out the battery as it is on other phones.
Fortunately for us, it is not difficult at all to unplug the battery!
REQ: torx screw driver that will fit but NOT STRIP the screws at the bottom of the phone.
Small phillips screw driver.
**I suggest charging the phone for a good 10 minutes before starting this. just to make sure it has a charge.
Step 1: unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the phone CAREFULLY!
Step 2: with your nails carefully pry up the back cover (inspect the phone carefully and identify the back cover from the rest of the phone.) off starting from the bottom of the phone.
Step 3: peel back the blue tape on the connector and remove the two screws.
Step 4: carefully pry up the connector from the top.
Step 5: plug back in and try powering on. By this point you should know if it worked and you can start putting the phone back together.
This guide is not the best (My first) but if you have any questions send me a message.
Good luck with your phones!
One of the first official LGOG teardown! Looks easier than expected..
@exemplarmusik sent from his LG - E970 ya dig?!
Awesome job, man. should come in handy for me at some point I am sure. I am curious though, those internals look identical to the Nexus 4's (as I guess we should expect) and I know the battery is glued down with the Nexus 4, so is that the case with our LGOG as well?
Yeah. The battery is glued in. I dont see an issue replacing it though. maybe a heat gun to losen up the glue and you should be good.
And yeah, it is very easy to open up.
This would have helped me last week. Oh well, got a replacement device and a free LG headset for my trouble.

I think it would only say that if unlocked, then you have N4 bootloaders.
I had this fast flashing "brick"-like issue, but after I let my phone cool, I just held power and vol-up and my phone went straight to the boot loader.

Damn, I didn't think it'd be that easy to take it apart. I wonder if it'd be possible to stick a Qi wireless charger pad in there, like the Nexus 4.
First of all, thanks for the guide. :good:
Here is what caused this to happen on my phone:
(black screen, flashing red light)
With phone off and charger plugged in you should be able to press power for a couple of seconds and it will show the charging progress. When you unplug the charger and press power you should see nothing unless you hold it long enough to power up the phone. Problem was that no matter how long you waited after unplugging the charger you could press power and see the progress ::what::
That causes the battery to drain, completely if left alone for a couple of days resulting in, you guessed it, black screen and flashing red light. After leaving it plugged in for 4-5 hours it regained a full charge and was fine.
This did not occur when phone was on while charging. Needless to say, I exchanged the phone. Hope this helps.
Don't assume you have any other pictures
I was considering trying to steal the signal amplifier and the filter from this and put in n4 ... and chance you got any shots of those in the optimus g ?
I still cant get mine to turn on, I unhooked the battery, still nothing. I hold the power it goes to the lg screen then nothing. I can hold power and volume up and nothing happens. Does anybody have a idea, I want my phone back.
Thanks
HELP!
My phone somehow will not turn on or charge! I have tried multiple chargers and outlets, and my phone will not charge or get the red light signaling that it is... There is no damage to the phone other than a small crack done a couple months prior. This happened very suddenly, the phone just ran out of batteries then stopped charging... is it possible to find the same battery as this and replace it?? My phone company said LG would not accept it because of the small crack on the front screen corner. Any help would be very greatly appreciated, really dont have the money to buy a phone off contract...

Wow looks like there are connectors on the back to go to the inside of the back cover... I wonder if this is compatiable with the orbe!... if not it should be easy to use old Palm Touchstone parts to make it charge wirelessly.
I have the sprint version I am hoping it has the same connectors... You guys see the two prongs on the back cover adn the metal places they attach to??

Those prongs are for connecting to the antenna in the back cover, not a wireless charger.

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.

I was doing the LGNPST and it was stuck at 67% for 15 min so i unplugged and the phone did nothing so I turned it off from recovery and nothing. no power only the power flashes red for a few seconds after pressing.
I am out of town now but if I can get it to turn back on I will send it back since I just received it today.
Unfortunately, my phone is now completely unresponsive. I have had it plugged in to the original wall charger for over two hours and still no power. If i hold down the power button for about 15 seconds while plugged in the red light will blink once every second until i let go. However, if I unplug it and do the same the light will not come on. I'm about to disassemble my brick and see if the battery pull will help any.
Any success stories in detail would be appreciated. Plan B is to send it off to Mobiletechvideos.

I did this trick a couple weeks ago when my phone stopped responding. Could only get flashing light while plugged in, and no response when not plugged in. Eventually while plugged in I could get to the bootloader, but could not get to recovery. This fix worked for me, though it may not work for you. You will need a T5 torx (star) screwdriver. Good luck.
Hello once again audience,
I have a big problem, and this is exactly what happened since 3 days ago...
At about 7 A.M. my brother was brushing his teeth and he sprayed water onto my phone by accident or something, so I thought it was just a little bit of water and just wiped in away. I did not TRY to use my phone until about 10 A.M. when I realized the screen was not working. I pulled out the battery and reinserted it to try to boot it, however I only saw the Samsung SII wordings for a split second before it blacked out.I let it run for awhile and then I realized that the touch key lights are working, and when I tap the center of the lockscreen I feel the vibration where you unlock your phone the little lock symbol. I retried this 5 times before giving up. Then about 5 hours later, I tried it again and this time it booted up nicely! Everything was tip top, except that 1 hour later it blacked out again... So when I reached home, I plugged in the charger when it is switched off and to my surprise I see the charging logo, and I tried to boot it up and it worked. It worked for 2 days. On Sunday, 2 days after the incident, first thing in the morning I wanted to check for whatsapp messages and I realised it blacked out again. This time I had ENOUGH! So I put it in some rice and checked on it every 4 hours. So now, I think it has improved. When it boot up I see the flickering of the Samsung SII wordings as before and then it boots into the ROM fine just black screen with working touch keys and everything else. But now when i turn the screen 'off' and turned it back 'on' using the power buttons I see catch a glimpse of the 4.2.2 lockscreen clock (very dark but clear) for about 1 second and it blacks out, just like when the Samsung SII logo pops up. This has been going on for about a day. What do you all suggest I do? Keep in rice? Keep it charging? Turn it off and try my luck hours later? I really need this back up as soon as possible, and thanks button would be pressed where it is due!
Thank you all for this too long message I really want it to work again!
In rice & don't touch it for a week, but given you've already used it immediately after it got wet, the damage may already be done.

Oke, lets say it's damaged, it's the screen that's damaged only right? hat would be chep to replace, yes?
The screen/digitiser are replaceable (whether you can do it or not depends on how confident/dextrous you are), Google search/eBay will give you an idea of how cheap. Or you could always ask a local mobile repair shop (then you'll obviously pay for labour, but if you're not confident enough to do it yourself...).
Edit - Mr eBay tells me I can get one for just under AUD$107
I would eat the rice, then sell the phone on ebay as "water damaged".
I have the same problem but its not water damage . The phone screen isn't turning on but the sounds and touch keys are working. What should I do? I have pictures on the phone and want to print them or save them but the screen won't turn on. Agh!

If the device powers on normally (except for the screen) and you don't have pattern unlock or other security enabled, it's a simple matter of powering the phone up and connecting to a PC via usb.....
The files should then be accessible via the windows explorer program.....

I replace the lcd and digitizer, closed phone up, phone was booting up normally, htc white screen, nils business sense loading, and then nothing, screen went black. Battery is charged, and I have tried three others. When I hold the power button down, the phone vibrates on start up, but that is it, nothing else. Plug it into a computer, nothing, does not recognize it. Plugging it into a charger, the orange led is on for a few seconds, and then goes out. I checked the ribbon cables, and reseated, no dice. I even tried the old screen hardware, nothing.
Did the phone just die? Did the new lcd and digitizer do this? This is not my phone, I was just trying to help out my brother after he broke his phone. What should I do next?
Edit - If the phone vibrates while powering on, it is definitely not dead.
Any chance that you can get into the bootloader? If so, do a factory reset
Have you tried a different battery? The light coming on/off when plugged in makes me think either a short, bad battery, or something got shorted out on initial boot after you operated on it.
Good luck!

Tried that several times, even put the screen in so it was not grounded, no good. Tried the old screen, not go on that one either. I kinda gave up, maybe the new screen was shorted? I sent it back to the company, and got my money back. I then just purchased a cheap used phone and replaced it. I am not sure what happened?.....
In saying that it still turns on...did the screen show all black before trying to replace it...if not then something in not reconnected properly...it can be tricky so go over every little deatail including the sticky tape...make sure everything is aligned in the correct spot

Last Friday (24.09.2021) I changed my phone's battery. I cleaned my phone, somehow some alchool entered in the charging port then I plugged it in like an idiot. Luckly nothing else broke except the charging port so I ordered a new one. The phone was working fine at the time and I could have used it normally, just no charging.
Today I finally got it, switched it, tried to turn it on and it wasn't turning on. I put it to charge, expecting my battery to be just empty, and I see the red LED blinking and the screen wasn't turning on at all. At first I thought that it was just a faulty battery and I tried my old one, same results. I had an old P9 lite lying around so I decided to test my battery and it worked.
I'm worried that somehow I broke it even further and I won't be able to retrive my photos and important files back. Is there any way to fix it?

Have you tried it with old charging port?

Probably HW issue (emmc memory dead, damaged motherboard etc.)

I think the only way to save your data is to extract the data from the emmc module and install it on a new motherboard (maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert). Ask the service center. But complete motherboard replacement is too expensive if you don't have a phone warranty...

Hi. It might be very very late, it's been one year since you posted this. But the exact same thing happened to me. Turns out you simply just need to force enter recovery, charge it a bit, maybe 5 minutes or so, then reboot.
Here's how I did that:
Back cover open.
Unplug battery.
[Be careful of static electricity]
Plug charger. The phone turns on.
Wait until it enters recovery mode.
Plug battery. Yes, in the phone on, recovery mode state.
Wait around 5 minutes.
Reboot.
If you can enter the main screen, wait a bit to see whether the battery is charging or not (the percentage goes up). If it's charging, then you can put everything back again.
If the phone stays dead when you plugged it with the battery unplugged, then maybe it's another hardware issue..

Thanks for replying, but unfortunately the problem still remains even after trying that. The furthest I could get is into recovery mode.
Bought a new phone a long time ago anyways, so it's no longer needed.
