I charged my phone night before last and I used it in the morning. I left it on top of the bed when I had to do stuff.
I went to get my phone and my wife said it was warm and that she found it under the blanket. The blue notification light was flashing but I could not get the screen to come on via the power buttom.
I cannot get the phone to respond using any methods.
Could my phone have just died in an instant?

I already reseated the battery.
I cannot get to recovery mode with volume up + power + home.
I dont understand what could have happened.
Blue notification light was flashing. I hit the power button to turn the screen on but the phone did not respond.
I pulled the battery and I put the battery back in but the phone would not power on.
No indication when it is charging.
Kies wont recognize it.
Wont power on, at all.
Stock rom with only a few extra apps. I deleted most of my apps when my phone would randomly lock up.
Could be bad battery. Try getting to recovery as soon as you plug in charger.

I tried to boot the phone with 3 different chargers with the battery in and battery out.
My charger
My wifes S6 charger
My moms Kindle fire charger.
I tried a total of 6 times to boot the phone, nothing.
Could the motherboard be bad?
Could it be hard bricked?
Could be the battery
Could the phone turn on without the battery while being plugged into charge?
I guess no, try battery from another alpha/new one.

Hi I just recently bought an HTC HD2 and I got it used. I checked out the phone pretty well and it worked fine when I purchased it. I got home and the battery was dying and eventually died before I got a chance to charge it. So I left it on the charger, the LED light came on and was flashing as if it was charging so I went out for a bit. Once I came back I noticed the LED wasn't on anymore so I tried to start up the phone and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took out the battery and put it back in still nothing. I've even tried using a different battery and still have the same results. I talked to T-mobile and they said to try going into boot mode by powering up holding both volume keys and the power button and I cant get it to start up at all. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?

When battery is charging the LED does not flash. Normally it just lights in orange. Are you sure that the second battery you used was well charged? Take a tester and measure the voltage on the battery pads - it must show some 3.8 volts. You may check also if your battery is charging on some other phone to confirm that it is healthy before to decide that phone is dead.

just shows what tmo customer support know, , , thats a hard reset they've described, not entering bootloader.
Ok so on my lunch break I went to the t-mobile store and told them my problem, for some reason they were able to get my phone to somewhat charge and start up. So its for sure the battery. I have no idea why the secondary battery I used had no effect on the phone. After work I'm going to go find a new battery and hopefully this will solve the problem. I'll keep you guys posted.
winner!

I was driving somewhere with my wife this morning and I had my phone plugged into the charger. All of a sudden, the phone just turned off. Nothing I've tried will turn it back on. If it is on the charger, there is no LED light. The phone is just dead.
I've tried holding the power button down for a minute or more. I tried the power button and volume down trick. Nothing. Nada.
If I can't get this thing working tonight, I will head to the Sprint store in the morning. I am expecting an important phone call tonight and I need to do something. Argh!
I've searched the issue and I've seen other people have had this issue, but no resolution that works for me yet. The only thing has been getting a new phone.

Try pluging the phone in to the charger and then unplug it and then plug it in again. I have noticed on mine that sometimes when I plug it in to charge the led will light up like its charging but it wont be charging, it will be discharging.
if you can charge your battery with an external charger do a shock to the battery .
maybe your battery is sleep.

Uhhh. Non-removable battery. Else, great idea: I've used that trick with removable batteries.
What happens if you plug the phone into the computer via USB instead of using the charger. Does it come on/charge then? Do you get the "USB device connected" sound from the computer?

QHUSB_DLOAD means that your phone is in emmc recovery mode. There's a tool out there for the EVO 3D called emmc_recover which can make it possible for you to flash images to partitions while in this mode. (this is the same tool that is used in the Evo 3D Hboot 1.5 downgrade method). I wonder if the same tool can be used in this case to flash a new hboot?

Mike, I tried that too. No response to that either. I was rooted but no custom ROM. I didn't make it to the Sprint store on Sunday. I was wiped after spending the day in the sun.
I'll be at the Sprint store in the morning and will let you guys know what happens. I'm using my wife's LTE with my number attached to it right now.
2 more hours until the sprint store opens. argh! I hope they don't give me **** about replacing it.
Hi all
My phone was shutting off instantly without any reason for couple of days and then I would turn it on. My battery was also acting weird. Sometimes when I turn it on it was showing 30% battery while before it was at 70%. Today, it turned off and wouldn't turn on. I tried Vol Up/Down+HOME+Power button and Home+Power button but it wouldn't turn on or go into recovery/download mode. When I put it on charge, charge symbol shows for a second and then it would turn off and then again on and off and continues forever.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Either your battery is not accepting charge or is not getting any charge.
If you know someone else with an S2, ask to borrow their battery to find out whether your phone will boot.
I've a suspicion that you're going to have to replace either the battery or the USB charger port.....or maybe even both.
But the first thing to find out is if the phone boots with a 'known good' battery.
my wife says I'm a phone geek....
I'd have to agree......

Thanks a lot buddy for your reply.
An hour ago I put the phone on charge for about 15 minutes and the battery charging symbol stabilized. Then I pressed Power button and phone booted and was working fine. Then just to check, I shut off and it won't start again and came back to the same old problem. I would definitely battery from same phone and will let you know about the updates.
Regards,
Its a very weird problem. I have put the battery of my brother's SGS2 in my phone and the problem is same. Then when I put my battery in my brother's mobile then that mobile shows the same problem. After switching batteries many time, my brother's SGS2 with its own battery would show the same problem. In other words that mobile was dead also. Then I plugged out the battery from the other mobile and left it out for some time and plugged in again and mobile was ok.
After that I didn't risk to switch batteries again. I have the feeling that problem is not at hardware end. For some reasons my mobile's software is corrupting batteries. I remember to have re-calibrated the battery couple of days ago with software named "battery recalibrate". I am lost at what the problem might be and what to do anymore.
Pls help.

Jig to force it to download mode
Just for the record. I discovered the solution to be ridiculously simple. Battery pins connection was loose and by just putting a foiled tissue paper at below corner of battery to strengthen connection of pins, all was back to normal. Ahh! it was such a relief.
Happy days glad you sorted it:thumbup:
Hi all,
My phone cut out at about 10% battery charge earlier and wouldn't turn back on. I thought it was probably just bad battery stats. But now I'm home, even after an hour on charge (and 30 mins on another charger) the phone won't turn on. It also shows up as an unrecognised device in device manager.
Whats weird is that when I first plug the charger in, rather than seeing the blue battery logo, I see an unfamiliar green battery logo as attached.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? (Tried booting with the volume up and volume down buttons held)
It's also come at quite a frustrating time, I may not be able to reply until Sunday night as I'm off camping in the sticks for the weekend.
Thanks

Sadly that didn't work.
The battery appears to now be taking a charge (300mA/h according to a USB multimeter), but I haven't been able to even get SP flash tools to recognise the handset sadly.

That is the conclusion I'm coming to, sadly there doesn't seem to be a UK stockist of the battery yet, but I guess in the mean time I can see if the seller will honour any form of warranty on the product. For now, I'm back on my old G3 and it doesn't even begin to compare. I loved my Elephone.
Bad luck my friend.....I have a samsung galaxy 2 and one day run out of battery and never awake again....weird things
I think it should be cover with warranty.....Is one year in China
Type a email to Elephone support and they must be assist you because the phone is less than one year in the marketing.
I hope you will have a possitive news from Elephone
Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on.
I have the same problem a while ago with the green thing logo while charging , I even try it on wireless charger but it has the same thing with the green logo of battery ...but luckily it charge normally with blue logo
I have seen this on my screen a few times when I ****ed my bootloader during flashing. Device ended up being semi-bricked. I could not flash via SPtools because my device didn't get recognized. I was able to fix it luckily!
Hi all, sorry for the delay in responding.
So, the first problem was the battery. You need to charge it beyond 3.8v I think to get the phone to turn on, probably better to get it to 4v so you have enough charge stored to use the phone. The phone can't charge the battery below a certain threshold (around 3.7v) so you have to remove the battery and use a lithium-ion battery charger (any phone battery charger), these are available for about £2 on ebay.
In my phone the USB port had also stopped working for data transfer. I tried changing the board with the USB port on to no avail.
I replaced everything but the screen in the end to get it working.
Are/were you on stock OS or had you replaced it with another rom? Just for a bit more clarity of the problem.
Hey guys, I just did an update last night, the update was around 330mb, then I drained my phone completely, charged it, then fell asleep, when i woke up, I removed the charger, and the phone won't turn on. Tried pressing all 4 buttons, tried going to recovery, safe mode, and every other combination of buttons, but the phone won't turn on or even go to the samsung logo or blink or anything. Even if I connect it to the laptop, nothing happens. Screen is off, but even when it is not attached to anything, the phone is hot. Which means it is technically on? I'm thinking of letting it drain til it runs out of battery then recharge it?
Anyone? I tried all combinations, nothing makes it work, not even make the led blink, no vibration. Also, i tried charging it for a few hours, it just gets warm but no charging icon or anything.

I'll try later. I still don't have odin. But that would probably be my last resort. I don't want to lose all my stuff.
Bu the way, my phone is all stock, no root.
OK so I kept the phone charging and now I tried turning it on, nothing, but the blue LED came on.
Now the blue light is off again.
Trya computer to see if it is recognized. If so, just copy your entire folder from your phone, try to Odin, then if successful copy over your files

I have never connected it to my laptop before so it may not have the drivers? But the laptop does not read it. Kies does not see it. Now i borrowed a friend's wireless charger but he said he thinks something is wrong with this charger cus it charges, now i put the phone on top, the charger shows a blue light but phone is not responding to it.

Tried that. It doesn't work. Oh and now that i tried charging with a wireless charger and still same thing, i guess i can safely conclude it's not the port. Maybe i need to try a charger with higher amps to try and wake it up?
Is it possible that the update does not allow the use of chargers that or not originally for the unit? And i used a samsung slow charger that night after the update, so the whole night the phone tried blocking the current and ended up frying the diode/resistor? Or maybe since i drained it to 0% it went to deep deep sleep?

I think it didn't show anything when i did. I will check again later.
Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?
Would it help if i charge it using a 3.4A charger for a few hours? Maybe that will wake up the battery? Technicians say that because it got to 0% it might have been fully drained and unable to recharge, what they usually do is direct charge a battery but in the case of the s6 edge it's not that easy to do since you have to take it apart...

Anyone have any other suggestions? I would probably bring it to the service center on monday, but I think if i have it serviced, they will just forward it to another city since I don't think they do repairs in mine.

Official samsung charger should be enough to get it charging and working. Service centre sounds best option
