Hi guys,
Very confused here!
I was running the latest AOKP Hydrogen rom and one of the latest Siyah kernels...
I recently moved onto the S3, so I was basically prepping my S2 to be sold. What happened was as follows:
I had my S2 connected to my PC to get some data off of it;
I went into the factory reset menu and it froze so I unplugged the USB cable (I assume it was waiting for the SD card to become available.
It displays the "settings is not responding. Would you like to close?" message, but I clicked wait and it seemed to work fine as I'd disconnected the USB cable;
At this point the battery was at about 19%;
I clicked factory reset with wipe SD card;
After a few minutes I check the phone and it's completely blank. I figure it's doing something and can't turn the screen on so I leave it for a few more minutes;
Eventually I grow concerned and assume the phone has crashed, so I hold down the power button to do a hard reset.
After this the phone does not turn on.
It does the following:
If I try to turn it on it displays the SGS2 logo (with the yellow triangle) for a few seconds and then turns off.
If I connect it to the power it displays the loading screen of the battery charge app for a few seconds and then turns off.
Sometimes if I mash the buttons it will flash on and off with a pure white screen until I hold the power button and turn it off.
Any ideas, guys?
My only idea is that something crazy has happened with the battery as I did swap my extended battery with my girlfriend's normal battery last night. As I work in a phone shop, I'll charge up the battery in another phone to make sure it has power.
But I know the battery has power, and the phone it doing exactly the same thing with my old 1650mah battery (which may or may not have power in it).
Any ideas? I was going to be selling it for around £200, so it was gonna really take the load of my shiny, new S3! 0_o

If it was bricked it wouldnt turn on even a bit. Just charge it or try changing the battery.

If I try to charge it it displays the SGS2 charging screen for a few seconds and then switcher straight off.
I just got into work and tried my colleagues 2000mah battery which had 32% in it. Exactly the same problem. WTF????
Thanks
Edit: FYI, it turns off before entering download mode or recovery. WTF????
Maybe you hit this ?

That's just what I was thinking, actually
I couldn't find a description of what actually happens when this brick happens. The page doesn't really say... Does anywhere say?
Edit: I swear I didn't even flash the Siyah RC6 that was known to brick the phones either... -_-;;
Thanks!
It's not just a specific kernel, more are actually faulty. The whole story is here.

your phone is ok as far as it shows u the s2 logo
you have 2 things to do , try to go to recovery or download mode and formate data/factory reset then flash another rom , btw what kernel u used before your phone go to this situation ? if you were using stable kernel "cm,neak,fluxi,syah stable" so you are safe from hardbrick bug , and the hard brick bug is done only if you have faulty kernel and wibed your data through recovery , and this isn't your situation , so don't be afraid

Thanks for saying, but I can't get into recovery or download. The phone switches off before then!
That's what's so confusing! xD
Thanks
With a known good batter try hard resetting to download mode 2x in a row.. Hold the button config to get into download mode.. Hold it through two restarts.. Might work.

I've nuked mine a few times with buggy kernels, sounds like a similar situation. I got my device back by flashing CM9 resurrection, then flashing Siyah, and finally from CWM flashing an ICS-based stock ROM.
I'd suggest taking a backup of your efs unless you're selling it with stock.

i am having exactly the same problem.i did a factory reset after flashing siyah kernel (SiyahKernel v3.3.1) on Resurrection remix v2.2.let me know if you guys find any solutions
JIG
try to use a download mode JIG.
I'm not sure if a link will violate xda-rules....
google it
dont worry
if you boot up and are getting the sg2 logo then you have not bricked you phone.
to fix simply download a .tar version of any rom and run odin to pda reinstall if you wanted to you could go the whole hog and reflash a fresh cf-kernal (rooted or stock) and then flash fresh firmware. just remember to get the kernal that originally matches the (ithink) your correct baseband ie xxki4
there should be no worries aslong as you dont pull the plug.
could have had a worse error saying installation incomplete please use kies then you would have to had taken battry out reinserted and hoped the three butn combo for rec. mode worked happened to me awhile back lol
hope i helped you
ps never read your post fully just skimmd the jist of it although the above should be applicable
also try resetting your battry stats in cwm
finally fixed
thanks for the help everyone.i have fixed it now.it seems like the problem was with the updated version of siyah kernel .i managed to put the phone in download mode.(kept the phone on the charger for a while. than, i don't know some how when i tried to go to download mode it did).and flashed siyah kanel v3.2.6.4 via odin
So i got this new atrix it was working fine no problems but now it wont turn on
First of all it`s completely vanilla no rooting no firmware flashed no nothing.
I reboted it several time yesterday and it worked allright and after my battery was 15% i decided to shut the phone down and put it to charge on my pc.
Now in the morning a the same green led is flashing but when i press the power button (fingerprint scanner) it wont do nothing the screen stays black
I dont know what to do i remove and added the battery several time and still nothing PLEASE HELP ME
Try plugging it on the charger until the battery says 100%.then try booting it up.
if it didn't boot.if it's on warranty send it for repair.
thankyou prince it worked i had a defy in the past that phone didn`t had such requirements but anyway this one is moore cooler
have you tied performing a hard reset?
Hi I'm really hoping someone can help me. I received a Sony z2 tablet spg521. I was told it was new but it would not power on or charge, and the charge light would sometimes blink red. Well I got the fixed or so I thought by doing a soft reset and then pc companion...sounded simple but spent a couple days trying to be successful. Sometimes my computer would recognize it sometimes it wouldn't.... Any way I finally got it out the blue dont know what the difference was I was just happy it finally worked... I then fully charged...yadayada and used it flawlessly for about a week... It would turn on and off, battery held charge like its supposed to, everything seemed to work.....then I went to power off but hit the restart by mistake....no there is no power again and this time it will not do a soft reboot.....no light ever....computer will not recognize ever....I have been trying off and on for a few days.....among-est my research to try to correct it seems like this is very common....when i shut it off the battery was over 50%..so how can something work fine then just die like this??? Ive seen that sometimes with sony if you disconnect the battery and the reconnect this will work... does anyone know? does anyone have any advice before I take apart this cherry tablet to try the battery thing???
I would really appreciate any insight as I have fixed many of my own problems and for others from advice on this site. Have a wonderful day and thank you!!! :silly:
ok today i tried to use flash-tool that Ive read about on this site....when it asked to plug n device computer recognized it and red light came on, but flash-tool did not recognize it....torn between letting it set and seeing what happens or trying to get the flash-tool to work, I chose the flash-tool...bad mistake when I went to try to reconnect and see if the FT would see it..it was no longer recognized by the computer and no light but computer did say USB device not recognized and not installed correctly.....now I already have the right drives so now Im really confused..tried a couple more times with same results and then once again nothing...no light no soft reset no recognized at all by computer not even not recognize USB....so disappointing loved the tab but this is insane that sony does this as its not user error but sony error and they dont even man-up and try to make it like you dumb or something....will try again..when i calm...
reset the device by pressing power+volume(up or down) for several seconds. It seems like a toasted one, possibly caused by putting magnetic charger on wrong polarity.
Thank you yes Ive tried all kinds of resets I have found...I agree seems fried but I would not know how. I have not used a magnetic charger...only the regular sony one that came with it....
So last few days I have tried off and on again....now computer recognizes by making noise when connected and disconnected but does not show up...PCC does not recognize it.....flashtool says its connected in log but when it asks for it to be plugged in it never leaves the screen telling you how to connect....when I try to connect the charge light comes on for about 4-5 secs then turns off....still no vibrate when try to reset still no light when plugged to a charger.....I want to get another one but I am scared this will happen again....gonna chuck this one as if time is money then I have well exceed the worth in time... I only got this because some time ago a sony z1 came my way and I so love it...i recently upgraded to z3.....i have a lg pad but screen got broke so I got the sony tab....maybe Ill just fix the lg

Mine is kinda toasted and this is how it works. Whenever I have a problem, I have to reset by pressing power + volume up, as soon as I hear three vibrations, I turn it on by pressing power button. Otherwise this tablet will just repeat sony logo and no boot. If you have bought one "NEW" make sure to return or replace it. If you want to enter fastboot mode, repeat the resetting routine and pressing power button to turn on, but also right after that or even simultaneously press volume up to enter fastboot mode with usb cable inserted, or volume down to enter flash mode. either way, your unit is toasted and sony sucks.
Well, I have the same problem, and isn't fun. Just very extreme rare cases it turns on the screen charging the battery, but doesn't turn on sadly
I did a happy boot today after 3-4 months off with several times trying turn it on, and did all the tricks from all treats about SOD
Last weekend I did a full charge from deep red to green light and battery animation on screen at start, but no luck.
I put it back in the box
This weekend I got some visitors, one of them asked about the tab, told him it didn't work and showed to him
Pressed the power button and to my WERY BIG surprise, it vibrate and turned on as nothing was wrong
The battery was only 54% after one week off. it received a update (264) and I installed as normal, turned off and on again as normal and happy I was

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.
Will not charge. Have tried all the obvious fixes ( cleaned port, diff charger, diff outlet).
Cant reboot cause it is dead. Any help please!!!

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.
Hi Guys,
Greetings to all . So after failing with Googling and trying on my own, i'm here again with another problematic phone .
(Skip the Description if you want, in short i bought my V10 about 8 months back and i didnt have any issues even with heavy usage/gaming)
I bought the V10 H961N Dua Sim variant used almost 8 months back.During my pre purchase research i became well aware of the infamous "Bootloop of Death" faced by numerous LG V10/V20/G4/G5 phones, But the amazing cost/specs ratio and dual sim support was within my budget and i was willing to take the risk that mine won't be one of the "BAD" ones, and apparently it worked out in my favor.
at the start i was too careful not to even open too many tabs in chrome, but with time i became confident and since after a couple months of buying it i've been using it to have over 35 chrome tabs open at a time, playing some heavy games and compressed movies.
Played PUBG Mobile almost daily for the last month or so, and it just heated up same as my Xperia Z5, with no issues and ho lagging/bootlooping/crashing once.
THE PROBLEM
This Tuesday night, as i was sitting in front of my laptop with the V10 on charge infront of me, downloading several versions of Angry Birds from the playstore (i download a bunch of apps/games at a time and then delete the ones i dont like later) and also it was updating some of the installed apps.
battery (last i checked) was just over 76% or so, and the next time i looked at the phone it was showing the LG Boot Logo (not the animated one, but the static "splash logo" that shows up at the beginning of boot process) . it had turned off and rebooted by itself during charging.
i thought it was nothing, waited for it to complete boot, but when it took longer than normal i pulled out the battery , tried to boot again but again got stuck at the boot logo.
Several retries, same result.
Current State of the Phone
Model : H961N Dual Sim Variant
Firmware : Official Nougat H961N30a_00_0519.kdz Flashed manually via LGUP about 3 months back.
Rooted : No
Bootloader : Locked/Stock State
Problem : Phone gets stuck on LG logo when turned on, waited for upto 15 mins, wont go forward.
There is no apparent overheating i dont feel the phone overheating or anything during boot up process, battery is also normal temp.
JUST ONCE, RANDOMLY, YESTERDAY MORNING IT GOT PAST THE BOOT SCREEN AND WENT UPTO THE LOCK SCREEN, EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AND IT SHOWED THE SCREEN AND ALL THE STATUS ICONS, THEN REBOOTED AFTER LIKE 2 SECONDS .
What i've tried so far
Changed Battery, Didnt Work
Can't get into recovery using hardware keys., so cant hard reset it. (the Vol Down key on it sometimes doesnt work so i dont know if its the same thing causing the Vol Down + Power button combination to not work for getting into recovery mode or i am having the same problem as a lot of other users who also can't access the stock recovery on LG V10.
I can get into "Download Mode" by pressing Vol Up and plugging into the USB port of my laptop.
Phone is not detected by LGUP or Device Manager in windows. if i connect it while powered off, it shows the "charging Screen" for a second, reboots to the charging animation screen and then continues on trying to boot by itself. (yes, my v10 cant charge while powered off, it turns on when i connect to wall charger always)
if i connect it to the laptop while in "Download Mode", still not detected.
phone is not visible anywhere in Device Manager, not detected by LGUP, LG FlashTool, Uppercut in either download mode or connected to laptop while powered off (as it continues on to "charge and power on itself")
I used this same laptop to flash the official nougat rom on this phone about 3 months back All Drivers are installed, using the same version of LGUP as before, with uppercut. also tried with LG FlashTool. but this time not detected by windows/LGUP/LG FlashTool. LGUP says no phone connected, the "COM/Devices" list shows up empty.
Also Tried doing it on another laptop with completely clean OS (free from any previous drivers/apps/android related installations), same results.
Tried it on my office desktop with Win 7, no joy .
Tried several different USB cables (long ones, short ones, and they are all good quality), didn't help either.
Kindly help me in recovering my V10, as its not even detected by windows in "Download Mode', which i can't understand at all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Following is a list of the versions of drivers/apps i have tried so far.
Drivers
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.12.3

Hello there,
First of all Extremely sorry for such late reply, after not having any internet access for quite a while, I just t got a chance today to check my emails and any notifications.
I had to disassemble my V10. I'm not sure about the G5, but on V10 the volume keys are a separate flex cable module connected to the motherboard, and the market here is full of dead/bootlooping V10s and G5s so it was an easy replacement to find and install.
But still the problem wasn't resolved.
For the stuck on logo issue, i had to get the cpu reballed on the mobo as a final effort, after trying and failing on everything else for about 2 months. Which was strange because I had absolutely no overheating issues prior to the V10 dying on me as well as no signs of overheat when it was stuck on logo, so I never suspected the infamous "loosening of the cpu chip on mobo" on V10s, G5s V20s etc as the cause of my actual problem.
Also this might be worth pointing out that since my V10 was already disassembled, I decided to install a heatsink (several guides and videos on that available online, do on your own risk).
And also decided to retry my "original" volume keys module.
I found out that one of the connector pins on the motherboard were bent so I very carefully straightened it up, as well as cleaned up some gunk on the module itself under using rubbing alcohol.
After drying it up, it worked flawlessly for a week or so before the volume down key stopped working again. I guess the connector pin under it slipped again, but because of my extremely busy routine now, and also just not feeling the need to take it apart anytime soon so just using my phone just as it is for now .
For volume changes I just use the notification bar, or press volume up once to bring up the volume slider and then lowering the volume form there.
For taking screenshots, I've installed "screenshot touch" app from playstore (free). I already found the screenshot method on V10 quite inconvenient anyways, and the "Capture+" feels too much work for just a screenshot so the app works for me .

Thank you for replying. I implemented the same workarounds for my volume keys also but failed to think of recovery since I usually boot recovery from shutdown menu or term emulator.
I fixed my g5, sounds like we have similar button hardware, I had a few pins that weren't contacting the back of the case which I think is grounding it....I sent them up a bit and was able to boot into twrp. There glitchy again but I just pinch the case a lil and they work(time for a new phone lol)

Good to know that your issue was resolved
