Bought Elephone P9000 for her indoors, when she switched the phone on initially there was a test screen which baffled her so she switched the phone of and left it for me. Now the phone will show that it is charging and the battery image will show on the screen. However the phone will not power on. I have tried the power button and starting via the Hard Reset buttons and nothing is appearing on the screen. Any suggestions as to how to rectify this problem?
Hi.
Is it possible to boot recovery? Hold vol+ and power.

Try flashing a stock ROM using SP Dlash Tools.
Stupid question, but have you disconnected from power before trying to turn on? It seems to show battery every time I try to turn on with power connected but turns on fine with a 3 second hold of the power button once charger is disconnected.
My phone won't power up, too. It is just showing the elephone logo. Is this the case for you, too?
I.have the same issue. Vol and.Power.buttons do not.do thing. if the charger is plugged in, a green egg timer appears.for a few.seconds, but the phone does not power up/ switch on.
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks guys!!! :good:http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042 following the thread on here a going through in instructions step by step was a great help and help me sort out tis problem for anyone still having issues. phone works great now she loves it
Does anyone knows if the connector on power button is cut off (the flex cable for power and volumes buttons), the phone will not charge anymore?
The phone stop charging or power on, I opened the back cover carrefully and observe that this flex cable is broken.
Got my new Elephone S7 today. Had some charge in the battery from factory but that went fast and now dead.

this forum is for elephone p9000 not s7.. post questions in elephone forum website or the right xda device thread(if theres one..)
Connect it with a PC through a branded USB Cable and then press power or POwer+Vol button it will show you some messages on screen.
My Elephone S7 shows boot Mode and the cursor keep on scrolling from Top to Bottom.
I think you may have some problem like the same.

I noticed that my hp touchpad was shutting down while in standby. I immediately thought it was a autoupgrade and so when it booted up and started installing the new webos I panicked and hit the power and home buttons to prevent the upgrade because I have CM7 alpha 3.5.
When I booted it up again I could only see a battery icon with a question mark in the middle. I can't make my win7 pc recognize the tablet and nor does the hp doctor for the same reason.
Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? I know that some people in the past had this same issue that was caused by faulty usb cable or not having the battery correctly inserted (for other webos devices) but this is not the case. Just before I canceled the upgrade I had 20% battery and I had it plugged in and charging.
Thanks.
Don't know if you already tried it or if it helps, but charge your TP with the original charger and your cable while the icon appears. After app. 2 h charging (should be sufficient) try to reboot it (power + mid button) into recovery mode (vol up button). If this does'n work (no reboot or something) try to force reboot (hold power button and press 10 times the home button quite fast) into recovery mode. After that, the USB icon should appear and doctoring should work (exept if you have created an extf3 partition which has to be removed BEFORE doctoring).
Hope it helps...
Best, z3no
I had it plugged in yesterday for most of the day and nothing happened apart from booting up to the same screen. Left it during the night unplugged and now can't get it to boot again. Just a bank screen , nothing happens. I have it plugged in for the last 2h but nothing changed.
Basics
Have you tried holding both the power button and the "center" or "home" button down for about 20 seconds? Release when you see the HP logo. That should force a hard reset. It saved my bacon when I had a problem caused by the new WebOS update.

thanks. I did it for more than a minute and nothing. I can't get any response from it now.
Try another charger, maybe the one you have is faulty?
There is also a posibility that the cable is now bad. I had a friend have the similar symptoms. It turned out he was abusing his cable to the point is was intermittent. He'd plug it in and think it was charging, just to come back and find it black screen, dead. He replaced it with his Blackberry charge cable (micro USB) and he's good to go.
I had the same issue with charging from day one I found that both of my touchpads
Had issues charging With the touchpad cables
the cable to me seems very flimsy so I went out and bought two blackberry cables and I have had no problems since then and the cables feel a lot better made than the hp cables
So just before going for extreme measures (aka open the device) I decided to phone HP that told me that they were going to collect the device free of charge because it's still under warranty (they confirmed that). The problem is what if they find out that I had and Ext3 with android on it? will they charge me for the fix? because the issue must be in the battery (once it can not even charge or boot). But can they fix the battery but then charge me because later they find out about the CM7 stuff? Thanks for your help
Ok so I was at work listening to music when my phone froze. Pulled the battery, which was only at about 85%, and tried to restart. And, nothing. No green light, no dual core screen. Tried four different chargers, including OEM Motorola charger, and tried hooking up to my home PC. Only thing that happens is when I hook up to the PC without the battery in the green light comes on. Power button still doesn't turn the phone on. Just turns off the light. I tried to search, but the closest I found was people stuck at the dual core screen or people who didn't realise their batteries were dead. If it helps, I'm unlocked, rooted, and running GingerMod 2.3.6. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I am having the same issue with my wife's phone. We both have Atrixes and I have tried swapping batteries and her battery works fine in my phone. I still can't get it to start up. No green light when plugged into the charger but a solid green when plugged into usb on my PC. How did you end up solving your issue?
I got this problem once. To fix, pull battery out, plug in wall charger to phone (without battery), should boot to the battery with question mark icon, plug battery back in.
I work at a cell phone repair store , and from reading your symptoms I think you might have an issue with the flex cable running your LCD. In the atrix if you drop it there is a possibility of shaking the flex cable off your board, and its a matter of micro soldering or just connecting the cable. I DO NOT suggest doing it yourself. If you want it done professionally call my work. 6053350411

I solved this problem with wall charger
Will anyone here elaborate how to fix it again?
If I plug it in wall charger, no response and no light.
If I plug it in USB, green lights on without battery, no light with battery.
In any case, pressing the power button cannot power on the device.
Please help. Thanks.
Sounds to me like your battery is having issues. Maybe try getting a new battery?
Thanks for your quick reply. I have actually got a new battery already. Still the same behaviour.
Then I can only assume it's the phone. Perhaps the charging circuit. In any case, sorry but I have nothing to recommend. :dunno:
If the plugging it into the wall without a battery in it didnt work... then try waiting for the phone to boot (assuming that it still is and the LCD is disconnected) and swipe where the unlock button normally is, pressing volume up or down, or perhaps try ghosting to adb and run adb devices in the command line... or simply try calling it lol. Also a good piece of information to get... does the backlight come on? If you can prove that the phone is in fact running, then it is most likely the lcd cable as someone said...

Thanks for your advice. I didn't drop the phone before it went to "no-response" status. I just put it on a HD dock for charging and the next day it doesn't boot anymore. I have put in HD dock for charging for a few weeks already.
My phone doesn't boot at all. I don't see any backlight or any special response. Or It does something that I don't know. I tried to plug into USB after pressed the button. If it's on, the computer should detect a device, right?
Any ideas are welcomed, i will try all.

I have the exact same problem, and would be grateful to know if you managed to resolve this problem.
I was taking a video, and finished it, when suddenly the phone froze up and turned off. I've been using MIUI, and while it's mostly pretty stable, reboots and crashes happen, so I just rolled my eyes. But since then it's been completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, even after taking the battery out several times, can't put it into recovery or download modes, and it's been connected to the charger for about ten minutes now and still nothing.
I haven't flashed anything for ages, haven't done anything odd with the phone at all, I have no idea what could have provoked this. Please help, I can't imagine what I'd do if my phone was permanently dead.
Samsung Galaxy SII with MIUI weekly ROM (currently 2.4.27)
Things I have tried:
Long press power button to turn it on (obviously)
Same thing after taking the battery out for ages
Press Vol up + Home + Power to put it into recovery
Press Vol down + Home + Power to put it into download
Plug it into charge
Plug in data cable connected to computer
Take out battery for a while, then replace, plug data cable into computer (but not phone), hold volume buttons while plugging in phone (internet guy told me to)
Everything above shows absolutely nothing on screen. Charging heats it up a little.

Just another try:
Maybe only the screen is "defect".
Boot into download mode - even if the screen keeps black.
And connect the phone via USB cable to your PC.
If the PC recognizes the phone, you could try to flash another ROM (with Odin).
If not ... is your phone still on warranty?!
Good luck !

Nope. Not a bad idea though. I wondered if the screen was broken, but then there should be vibrate and boot audio when it boots up.
Take the battery out dude, leave it out for 3 mins, then put it back in, then try accessing download mode (vol down + home + power)

Same issue.
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have the exact same problem as the OP. Only I wasn't even using my phone when it died it was just sitting on the side.
The 'back story':
My phone died whilst doing absolutely nothing. I tried plugging it in to charge and it came up with theimage I've attached below, and it just flashes on and off the screen at random intervals.
I tried recovery - nothing.
I tried D/L mode - worked once but got the 'battery too low - cannot download' error and it hasn't worked since.
Tried 2 different batteries - nothing.
Removed the battery for 10 minutes and retried - nothing.
Removed the battery while keeping the phone connected to the charger - nothing.
Connected phone to PC with original cable - nothing.
The top of the phone also gets hot when trying to charge.
Cannot attach the image yet as I can't post outside links...
But the symbol is the greyed out battery with the 'loading' ring.

same here, can't get it to do anything. tried booting to odin, pressing up after the right sequence (while screen was black). i hear the usb device make a sound on the pc, but nothing shows up on the ID:COM port in Odin.
Maybe your battery is messed up. Try using someone else's battery to see if it will turn on.

Do you even have an I9100 ?
All you need is a USB jig which will force your phone to enter into download mode. USB jigs are small devices which are very helpfull if something goes wrong while flashing. You can buy a USB jig directly from ebay, it is for about 4$ - 5$ or you can make one home yourself. It's not very hard.

Hello,
I've got two tablets (black and white) with a cracked screen. After I ordered a replacement screen I wanted to assemble it to the black one.
After I connected the LCD to the tablet everything worked fine. But at one point the tablet turned itself off and is not coming back to life anymore.
The symptoms are as follows:
- When pressing volume-up + power-button nothing happens, not even a virbration
- When pressing volume-down + power-button also nothing happens, not even a vibration
- When holding the red-button (found near the SD-slot) nothing happens, not even a vibration
- When i plug it into a charger (either pc or wall) the led turns red, flickers some time, and then stays red
What I've tried so far:
I have one white tablet, that works without any problems. So I used its battery (~95% charged) and put it into the black one. But nothing changed
Is there anything I can do?

I disconnected and re-connected all cables.
I had the same problem. (but I don't repared anything). When a turn off (pressing the botton 2 or 3 seconds) the tablet dont start. I send it to the service garanty but dont see anything. Finally when the battery was finish I conect pushing Vol - a battery extern (turn on the red led) a later the charger and the table resucited.
Sorry my poor english
What I also tried is:
- Holding Volume + and Power to boot into fastboot-mode. The LED still remains red.
- Using a battery from another xperia z2 tablet (which has ~90%), and tried everything from above with no change. What's strange is that the the LED doesn't even light up when connecting to USB.

I opened sony compaion and made recovery , it saw phone and made recovery but same problem.
I need some help about this situation.
Thank you.
Hi,
An energy related problem, or the display cable may be loose. When I changed the screen of the phone a year ago, I encountered such an error. I worked for 3 days; but in the end it worked. I don't remember exactly how I did it right now. I looked at many web sites related to the motherboard. It's pretty annoying and challenging.
Bye.

It seems the flat cable is broken that connects to power and volume buttons.
You can check it under the battery and see if it's cut at the edge of the frame.

The red button is for force shutting down the phone. You only see sony logo then charging on screen only if you plug the charger. Try fastboot to turn on your device by writing this command:
fastboot reboot
I assumed you know how to enter fastboot.
