Cant turn on - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Installed CardHDRom V5 yesterday with about 50 % battery in this order. Flashed recovery, kernel, super su then rom, fromt this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866
WAs going to charge the phone this morning and put it in the charger and fixed breakfast for about 10 min.
Went back to the phone and the screen was black and the led light is shining green. And now i cant manage to turn the screen on Any ideas?
The led light is on even when the charger is plugged out i cant get the screen on, neither recovery or download mode

press volume down and power until you get a response from screen, then release power and keep pressing volume down. It will boot into safemode. You can try to figure out what went wrong from there or just reboot the phone

Yes... Put it over the night and still not working.. Tried charging my old S4 and it worked..
Even changed charger to be sure and left it for 3 hours and still nothing
Really have no idea what happend.. Just put it in the charger and then completely dead...
I'm thinking about reporting it stolen and pay about 85 dollar to get a new one!

very strange..and it doesn't smell..i mean burned..?

No, nothing...
I'm gonna let the phone rest this night and then try starting tomorrow and put it in the charger again.. Really hate that you can't open the phone like the old s4

So I have phone that won't start.. Any idea what to use it for?
Is it impossible to access the internal memory?

Not unless you know what part is defective and how to unsoulder memory chip and have a machine that can read it. Why dont you just send it for warranty?

Cant Download Mode, stuck in phone--!--PC, grey battery.

My phone is a Telus t959D
I am stuck at the phone--!--PC screen. 3 button combo does not work, please do not give me other 3 button combos because it will not work. I think i need to fix this battery problem first and the download mode will come itself.
Plugging it in to the usb gives me a screen with an empty grey battery, with the progress circle in the middle frozen.
I cannot go into download mode because when i connect the usb, the grey battery pops up.
If i turn the phone on with no usb, i get the phone--!--pc screen.

so even with the battery pulled you still get the battery icon?

Uninstall your current installation of Kies and any samsung drivers, restart your computer, reinstall Keis from http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...TLS/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support and download the drivers via that, restart again and check the results.
hey sendan thanks a lot. Before i do what you said i should do, how will the computer recognize my phone if it is only on the phone!PC screen because kies cant even recognize it right now?

No, without the battery the screen is just blank because it is off if that is what you meant. If you meant if i pull it out and put it back in, then it goes to the Phone!PC screen without a USB connected. If i reinstall the batter again WITH a usb, then it freezes at a grey battery.

you suppose to get into download mode without the battery in.
power off and pull battery
plug usb cable in
hold vol down until the yellow triangle appears
I took out the battery, plugged in the usb, and held the volume down button. Screen stays black (left the battery out)

ok.. Are you using the factory usb cable? If so, then unfortunately you may need to do one of the two things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288093
or get a "Jig" and jumper the usb pins.
alright i'll try those out. And i recorded myself doing the methods and the screens i get.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZxCzxb5RT8
Okay I watched your video...instead just take the battery out and DON'T put it back in, your computer will supply the power. Now make sure your holding the volume down button BEFORE you plug it in, and continue holding.
Or plug it in the wall adapter if you don't have powered USB Ports.

I figured, was just making sure you went through all the options before you start messing with the more advanced stuff, good luck.

i bought the phone from a really good friend at a steal price of 40 bucks. I'll just give it back to him because he got it for free. It's just going to make me feel bad because anybody else in the future who has the same combination of problems might not be able to find a solution , but thanks a lot everybody! i'll just try and find a captivate or something

Actually I did a bit of reading, since I got stuck at that screen a long time ago, and I remember connecting to Odin at the Phone ! PC screen. You should be able to connect to Odin because it's still considered download mode. If it doesn't work you should re-install the drivers that I posted before.
I can almost guarantee it will work unless something else is really broken.
Edit: Here's some reassurance to motivate you - http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...s-hacks/79287-odin-works-phone-pc-screen.html
there's a feature in heimdall to try and kick it out of that screen.

Installed incompatible Rom for S2 by accident, white screen of death

I feel like an idiot..... installed the wrong ROM on my Galaxy S2-UK
I installed CheckROM V5 and found out it was actually for the Galaxy Note before it was too late, it installed fine from holding power button, home button and volume up, then going to install Zip from folder and rebooted. When it rebooted my Galaxy S2 logo came up and then the screens pixels all turn white one by one. I tried to do the power button,home button and volume button to go in and uninstall it and the same thing happens, white screen,
I can't even get odin to recognise the device is plugged into my laptop.
Have I ruined my Galaxy S2? is it fixable?

You can't go to download mode? (which is vol-down, home, and power; you didn't specify which volume button you tried)
You should probably invest a couple bucks into a USB jig to see if that can get you into download mode if not.
Yes I tried to go into download mode and it just goes all white bit by bit. Is a Jig my only option ?

Maybe...
So even if it goes all white, I wonder if you can still actually enter download mode. After the phone boots when doing vol-down + home + power, while it is going all white, try hitting vol-up and plugging the phone into your USB cable on your computer. If Odin goes yellow in the ID:COM block, you should be good to go to try flashing back to stock.
If that doesn't work, try a jig.
Cool, I will try that thanks, the battery is dead so I will try it later, another point to add, i just plugged it in to charge it there and the icon for the battery came on, the screen refreshed itself and all the pixels slowly started turning white and black on the screen.

Flashing the Note ROM may have replaced the video drivers. I'm just guessing though. Get a stock firmware from Intratech's official firmware thread and have a go at flashing it back.
Things have taken an interesting turn, went to a shop in town today who were convinced they could fix it for me for €20 and I have been informed that my battery is damaged as they couldn't even hook it up to a universal charger,I did find a bulge on the back of it. i'm sure this explains nothing but I'm going to get a new one tomorrow and try everything you have said, thanks for your help and i'll post here again.

Actually my battery is down. I can go to download mode but it says Low Batter cannot download.
As soon as I connect batter it starts showing white screen and then it switches off because of low battery.
How can I charge my battery and put phone into download mode.?

Battery gone after installing CheckRom for Note. I bought new battery , went into downlode mode and installed stock rom.
But Why CheckRom Note is not checking if the device is actually Note or not? is it so difficult to implement.
You're kidding right ? You actually expect devs to put "safeguards" in their roms/kernels in case idiots flash firmware for a completely different phone onto their own ?
That really does speak volumes

I agree. Flashing your phone is serious business. You wouldn't just download any old random operating system and install it on your computer without making sure it was intended to go on your computer first, would you? Why would you essentially do the same thing on your phone?

HELP!!!!!! ASAP!!!!

alright heres what i did i connected my phone to the computer, put 3 kernels on the external sd card to flash later, i disconnnected it and my mom called, so i taled to her for 3 mins, hung up and killed all the running apps (hold home and just killed them) then held down power to reboot into recovery to flash them. phone turned off, and never turned back on.... i had 29% battery before i shut it off, i plug it into charge cause i thought maybe it was too dead and woulednt turn on, but it still wont boot. there not even the orange light on the front. its just dead. i pulled the battery and still nothing. just wont boot into anything or screen wont even turn on.....
WHAT DO I DO!?!?!
the kernels all came from well known DEV's which shouldent matter, because i never flashed any of them. i only just hit the power button and then hit boot into recovery.
\
HELP!!!!
Take the battery completely out, and plug the USB into your computer. Press the power and volume down buttons at the same time and hold until you see the white hboot screen. Go into recovery and go to "other". Put your battery in, wait a sec, and select "check battery level". That will tell you if it is dead.

Make sure to put the battery back in after it goes to the white hboot screen

It shouldn't when it is off.
Scratch what I said, you have to have battery in to get to hboot, but can remove it once there.
Were you s-off?
Plug into to a wall outlet and let it charge for an hour or so...then try powering it up.

leave it plugged into a wall for an hour. when you get back, if the orange light still isn't on, you're f'ed. i've seen that problem with rezounds before. they just die for some reason.
adb dident reconize the phone....
Did you follow the steps with the battery pull, etc before doing adb devices?

[Q] Bricked and cant get into recovery or bootloader

So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated
Were you doing anything when it happened? Trying to install a rom, recovery etc?

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.

It happened to me to once because of Vindicator Kernel.
Plug in the USB cable to computer and connect it to phone.
Press and hold Volume Down+Home+Power Button then you will get download mode.
Then flash stock ROM back.
(You have to charge your phone for 30 minutes before you do this)
