Hi All.
As you can read in the title, my m4 aqua is stuck in "some kind of bricked mode". Not the first time this happen to my m4, but this time, the way I used to fix the problem doesnt work.
Everytime my m4 runs out of battery and it shuttoff itself, turns bricked. Then I plug to the charger and push Vol UP + Power button. After this method my m4 aqua comesback to life with no problems.
A few days ago the phone runs out of battery again so here we go... I press Vol UP + Power button and wait a few seconds but, this time it doesnt work! Tried few times, connected to AC, connected to PC, without connect... nothing works! No leds responses.
When I plug to PC, and I keep pressed Press Vol UP + Power button, Windows sound loops (USB connected, USB disconnected, USB connected, USB disconnected, USB connected, USB disconnected, and on and on...) Nothing more.
I Tried to press Vol DOWN before connect AC or PC, I tried Vol UP + Down + Power button... 10 seconds, 20, 30... Every posible way that I have found in google , forums like this, Xperia companion...
I would like to get my personal data back out before send the phone to sony but I think I have tried almost everything.
Please some help would be amazing.
Thanks in advanced.
Charge it all night, if battery is dead it will take some time to recharge.

Thanks but, no leds signals, not charging. I think the battery is ok but it cant be charged due a software o "brick" problem. Anyway Ive been charging for a few days.

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.
Check out this link to make your own USB jig.

hi , i have a motorola atrix that will not boot up at all, it just shows a black screen and when i plug in the usb charger it shows a green light but as soon as i press power the light turns off. i have tried to boot into recovery mode via power button + vol down but nothing shows on the screen , not even a failed to boot message to say its bricked.
after searching google etc , over the 3 days i have tried the following :
1. power + vol down (on battery)
2. power + vol down (wall plug with battery)
3. power + vol down (wall plug without battery)
4. vol down + plug factory cable into computer (with battery)
5. vol down + plug factory cable into computer (without battery)
6. power + vol down + plug factory cable into computer (with battery)
7. power + vol down + plug factory cable into computer (without battery)
and then all of that with Vol up instead , just in case it worked.
the last thing to try is to throw it at a wall and see if anything happens but before that i thought id ask, does anyone have any suggestions on what it could be / what i should do ? from the information ive given above can you tell if its a hard bricked paperwieght or there is hope?
i would appreciate any help given, many thanks!
may sound insignificant but try giving the phone a few hours on the wall-charger, preferably the original one because it has more output than a computer usb port. I had the same behaviour when I completly drained my atrix between two flashs.
If the battery is drained completely, it is difficult to have it hold a charge again. I have read about people putting the device on charge for 3-4 days in such a state and just revive.
I have done the same with agm/gel car batteries by putting them on a low trickle charge for a week.

Same problem here
Well i have the same problem here, but in my case, it happened while the phone was on and plugged to the wall charger, it was charging normally but after some hours i went back to see how was it going and the phone was off, and nothing happened when unplug and plug again, the greeen led only turns on when plugged to the pc usb port without battery, but when i put back the battery it turns off and nothing happens
Hello, been googling this and it constantly brings me to this forum.
However my Xperia P is unmodded/rooted or whatever.
Situation:
Phone won't turn on or even charge no matter what I try. I don't even get a red charging light or any screen activity. Tried an number of chargers, sockets and USB ports. Left it over night, no change.
Trying the various "Hold down the volume button and turn it on" tricks google turns up has had no effect either.
I have not tried using the sony repair option yet because it says it will delete anything on internal storage! This phone has no SD card slot and everything is saved on the phones 16gb internal storage. This is what I care about the most, I have photos and videos from nostalgic events such as a wedding that I really REALLY want to recover. I don't care if my phone goes up in flames, its whats on it that I really want!
Background:
Two days ago it ran out of battery overnight (was pretty sure it was near full before I went to bed.) Left it in the charger the next day after I noticed it was off and came back to it a while later to see it still wasn't turning on HOWEVER I was getting the red light and the sony boot up screen and then back to black screen as there was no power. I was not paying a whole lot of attention at this stage however as I was returning home from a trip. Just assumed the cable was off and it never got a charge.
Came home and began charging it that night, again, red light still worked when I tried to turn it on indicating it had low battery,
But when I came back to it, AGAIN it still had no charge. But by this stage no more red light no more phone activity.
I've no idea what's happened. Phone has been annoying me the past 6 months with randomly running out of battery out of the blue and poor performance but I was not expecting this. Really don't want to lose those photos or vids, is there ANYTHING I can try?????
Thanks for reading.
@Sisko-ire
Have you updated firmware with flashtool or PC Companion before?
Do you know how to and can test if you can connect the phone in flashmode (phone off, connect to USB while pressing volume down key).
Try pressing power + volume up for about 10 seconds, see if you get the (1+) 3 vibrations to turn it off before you try flashmode.
Thanks for the reply.

As mention I have tried the various 'hold down button' options mentioned on various posts before. Phone does not respond. Zero vibrations... nothing.
I have used the PC companion to update my phone (android update from what I can guess). Not used flashtool before.
Holding down the volume key and plugging in the USB does nothing.

One thing reported to fix similar problem was to disconnect the battery, but didn't work for another user, worth a try though.
If you still havent gotten it working, there is a way to force charge the battery. Look at my thread, got some pics there.

I just bricked my xp.
Firstly, even though there was no OTG connected, i got otg power consumption error and the battery kept on draining even when my charger was connected.
Then, when the phone was off, i connected it to the wall charger. It did not switch on, it was like a semi bootloop where it kept on showing kernel name, the restarting.
So i went into CWM and tried backing up. During backup, the battery ran out and there was the hard brick.
power button, charger, vol up down not responding.
Any help appreciated.
I love god
WOW,
i got so angry that i threw my phone down, and it stated to work,
Admin pls delete this thread
first connect your phone to pc
then boot into recovery mode by pressing. v- and. power button together.
all done your phone will restart
press thanks
Hi guys, so I recently came across my old phone and just remembered all the things I had on it. However when I try to switch the phone on, nothing happens. I've left it on charge for a few hours and still nothing. I tried to turn it on again (even during the charging process) and still nothing. I then gave it the old soft/hard reset by holding down the power+volume down button for 15 secs, nothing. Then held down all the buttons....nothing, no vibration, no form of life whatsoever.
When I plug it into the PC, the sound of a device being connected plays, then the disconnect sound follows about 3 seconds after. I tried the soft reset method when I plugged it into the PC and after about 10 secs, the same sounds played as if my computer had detected a device but then disconnected it. This must mean there's some sort of life in the phone right? Any chance anyone knows a solution to this?
Charged it for about 4 days, still no sign of it turning on!
After charging, press and hold Vol-down and On/off buttons together for a longer time. It should vibrate and switch on.
Best regards,
Joachim
