The software on the phone was acting up and the phone kept randomly turning on and off, so I opened up recovery and tried to restore an old back up so I could keeping using it. Well, little did I know the phone was going to die half way through the restore. The phone will now not turn on, and it wont charge. I'm wondering if the software is required to charge the phone, does anyone know?
First question why did you run a restore with a pretty much dead phone.
Second can you hold power button and does any of the buttons flash.

Probably bricked it. If you can't get into the bootloader your only option is jtag.

I was wondering if my phone is bricked. I installed Cyanogenmod nightly 17 after using all the previous nightlies without any mishaps, and it drained my battery to 0% and my phone died. Now when I am plugging it in to try and charge it, the phone won't turn on anymore. I have left it in the charger for about 2 hours already, and still no luck with with powering on the phone.
I have tried to make it to go into download mode by pressing the power and the up + down buttons. Nothing
I also tried doing that without the battery. It would just flash the screen then turn off then flash the screen again in a cycle.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to boot my phone up again.
Let it charge overnight and hope for the best.
It'd be very unlikely it's bricked. Possible, but unlikely. A number of not likely things would need to take place all around the same time.

So you would suggest leaving the battery in and charge overnight? because right now if I am doing that, the phone heats up
Some have reported it getting pretty hot while charging. Not that common, but does happen. Some have left the battery case off and pointed a fan at it.
You can also plug it into a computer. Usb ports charge at a lower power and shouldn't cause as much of a heat up.
Just make sure it doesn't get too hot. The phone likely won't get damaged but the battery can die at temperatures over 50 degrees celcius.

Take battery out and place it in freezer to cool off, phone too. Take out the freezer and put battery back in. Reboot. Should come right back on.

Ahh the things freezers can fix. Saved info from a few hard drives.

No problem. Your phone just over heated while shutting down. Happened to me before.

I've searched all over, but I can't find the answer. Several times a day I have to use the power/volume down to restart my phone because it won't come out of sleep mode. It doesn't do it every time. I know there are others with this problem, but I haven't been able to find out why it happens or how too prevent it. Please help.

I've held it for about thirty seconds with no luck. Does it take longer than that? It doesn't matter how long it's been asleep, sometimes I can turn off the screen and immediately try to turn it back on and it won't work.

No not that long. What firmware are you running? Maybe you have a dodgy power button?

That happens to me when that's on in the background every once in a while..
After unrooting, uninstalling every app I had then doing a factory reset and still having the same problem, I finally gave up and took it into the Verizon store. They said there was going to be a software update in mid April that would fix it, or I could get a new phone. My new phone will be here Tuesday.

Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

If my power button was stuck would I see the shutdown menu before it rebooted, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc? I'm just trying to make sure my battery is the problem.. I don't want to deal with a power button..

No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Oh well then. That's awesome because I'm able to use my phone for more than 5 mins without it shutting down. It usually shuts down when I start playing a game or something intensive. So it has to be the battery! I'm really happy.

Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here... I'm scared to buy a new one thinking that It won't work still... my phone never turns off as much when the charger is in... But guaranteed with battery only. Less than 10 mins.

So more detail is needed.
I had rooted my droid x2 and was pretty happy, wasn't having any problems and had changed my font around a few times with ROM toolbox perfectly.I never changed Roms though. Well one day I decided to change it to another font that I used before and this time when it rebooted it just stayed on the big red M logo and never finished booting, I have tried pulling the battery, doing fastboot, and even android recovery ( and I can't find a file that works for it), and a bunch of other things without success. Mostly I find things with broken download links. So if anybody can help me fix this that would be great.

The original battery did go bad ( it had expanded on the sides) but that was a while after it started the issue and I just got a brand new battery two weeks ago for it. So it could be an issue with the battery?
