Dead phone - phone just doesn't react for any try - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hey,
I have problem, that my phone one day was turned off by me and after maybe 2 hours, when I wanted to turn it on, nothing worked. When I was back in home I tried to charge it, but even charging LED didn't shine. I tried every option with volume buttons for 10 seconds each, but it doesn't work. No vibrations, no screen, just nothing.

Hi.
Original software?

Yes.

sometimes countered this issue, it's because i usually flash my phone.
it didn't boot up when i press the power, and didn't flash red/green/blue when i tried to enter flash or fastboot mode
i fixed this by reset the phone on the micro sd card slot's button. it worked in my experience. good luck

Tried it too and it didn't work as well. :/

sorry but are you still having this issue? did you try pressing the off button beside micro SD card slot for 10-15 secs? after that charge for 2-4 hours then try powering it up. should come back to live

Yes, but I tried this, but this didn't work as well.

What was it’s fate? Mine got that problem now.

I returned it on warranty and they gave me some new model.

HTC Touch Dual - Not turning on

Hi Guys,
I have recently successfully flashed my Nike to the NIKI_ROM_MARY_v0.3.3. It was working fine for the past 3 days apart from the odd frozen screen coming out of sleep mode (i think that had to do with some sleep/lock setting)
Then out of the blue I notice it power was off.
- I tried pressing and holding down the power button
- Removing the SIM, micro SD and battery and replacing with another battery
- Connecting to PC
- Charging
All to no avail...
Has anyone have any other suggestions before I return for warranty?
This worked for me; take the battery out leave the sim and memorycard inside the phone, attach the powercord wich is connected to the wallsocket ofcourse and switch the phone on, and then insert the battery........
2nd post cannot delete it?
i'm not sure but i dont think they will repair under warranty as you have changed the software
Same issue
I have the same issue with Mary's v4.0, if i reset or switch off the phone, it just dies, whatever I do it will not switch on.
I managed after 2 days, the keep trying to plug in ac power, with no battery, got a red charge light and then insert the battery, then hold down the power button, finally it booted, now i dare not switch off or soft reset.

if this does not work, then hold the on button and keep trying to insert, then remove and insert the battery until it starts (hopefully).
Just flashed another ROM, so doubt its ROM related, my suggestion is do the above, flash back to your original ROM and SPL, then send it back under warranty, this will be my 4th NIKI under warranty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This worked for me. Seems to be a problem with the HTC Touch Dual. Several people I know have had the phone shut down for no reason. After the above, I did a soft reset.. No problems since... Touch wood!
Terry
Hmm, okay I know it's an old thread but I have the same issue but it happened with the original rom, I finally bring the phone back to life unfortenally not with my own sim-card.
For now I'm scared to do a sofreset because I think I lost my phone again just wondering what I can do, maybe someone on this forum have a solution for this.
Regards
I had exactly the same problem... may anyone be more specific?

Hi teorouge, sometimes I got my phone back, what I did was:
1. Remove battery
2. Pressing softreset button about 10 times.
3. Insert battery and keep pressing the powerbutton until the phone reacts.
It's not a fix, the only thing you can do is use the phone but if you do a softreset the problem is back.
Personally I think the powercircuit is broken, I had to buy myself another Niki.

Thanks for the answer, I gave the Niki back to his owner... it's a corporate phone so he shouldn't personally pay any money (and me neither, that's for sure!) to get it repaired. Thou I hope for him they'll change it to a newer (and feature-rich) device!

[Q] Hard Brick. Any Solution?

I am pretty sure the answer is send it back and get a new phone, but I thought I'd ask here first.
I tried an Odin flash of my own ROM pulled from my phone via using dd on the different partitions. I had a SUCCESSFUL Odin flash, and the phone turned off to reboot after the flash, as it always does for me.
Instead of turning on, however, the phone is completely dead. No power, nothing on the screen, the power button does nothing. I have tried pulling the battery, plugging it in, and all sort of combinations of power and volume keys. Nothing.
Bricked, or does anyone have any suggestions?
An actual true brick? I'm both amazed and saddened at the same time.
My condolences in your time of loss

I am assuming it is a true brick, but the other 25 times I've assumed it was bricked, it turned out that I could recover with a little more effort. So far, thought, no luck on this one.
I would think if the power button is unresponsive like it is, you stated you also tried after battery pull, with battery, with just power cable, with both, tried the volume buttons incase something got remapped, that she's a goner. Did you try usb to the computer instead of power? Or touching the home or menu button portions of the screen? That last one is a shot in the dark but cant hurt. Beyond that and every other button combo you've tried, I'm out of ideas.

Try this, get it into DOWNLOAD MODE AND ODIN FLASH IT.
here you go.... If you feel like you semi-bricked your phone and cannot boot into download mode.. there is a trick that might work for some or it might not doesn't hurt to try, but damn sure worked for me... Make sure phone is connected to computer with ODIN Opened,..
1. Unplug your phone from usb
2. Take out battery (and mini sd and sim)
3. Plug usb back into phone.
4. Hold down up and down volume keys while putting battery back into the phone. IT SHOULD BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. if not sorry. Sometimes when people flash back and forth the up and down volume keys get reversed... so try volume down and power.. or volume up and power. GOOD LUCK!!!

I had the same problem today and I tried this method and it worked
just FYI

Any advice would be apreciated

Need some advice please
Any Flyer member who can advice me please?
Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.
battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.
Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect

Thanks for your replies:
It didnt work pressing only vol dow for a while, or presing only power button, it never rests.
Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.
Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...
If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers
Any other advice?
Thanks in advance!

Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.
Nothing happens
i would suggest trying to globatron's attention. if anyone on this board would know what to do it would likely be him

A red led isn't going to show with a 100% power condition. Later you wrote...

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...
If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...
Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.
...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
Thanks.
Update:
I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:
sending..........
updating the Rom image on your android phone
It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!
Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
Orb,
That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.
After it boots again it goes back to normal.
Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply.
Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.
Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?
I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....
I swear never again to remove the back cover
PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...

That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)
I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.

hello
Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.
What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.

Won't Boot, ODIN MODE Turns Off In 2 Secs...

My buddies rooted i717 with CM10 4.2 has been running great. Then it started to turn just turn off on it's own. Last time it turned off now it won't turn on.
When you hit the power samsung logo flashes normally then screen goes blank. At this point it keeps making that powering on vibrating sensation repeatedly. Touch power button and this routine repeats.
It will not boot into recovery. After the sammy logo flash continuing to hold down power +/- does not yield recovery mode. It just starts the vibrating loop.
I thought I will just install stock via kies or flash JB via odin. Well odin mode turns on ok but shuts off after barely 2 to 3 seconds. I have tried this with and without battery, plugged in and not plugged in on pc but end up the same way.
I have checked battery, same is super aok. I swapped batteries with my i717 and mine turns on just fine all the way. My buddy doesn't mind any which way the phone comes back to life.

If you read and run any kind of search, you would find similarities to the all common stuck power button.
Flick tye back of the phone a few times.
I know, you can feel it click.......doesnt matter, flick the phone.
If you are brave enough, you can open phone and clean with qtip and alcohol.
I am not.

There have been multiple times that I couldn't get into recovery mode, but download mode worked fine.... I just reinstalled CWM and reflashed.
May not help the root cause, but may get you past the no-recovery mode issue.

Neither works. DL mode turns off after 2-3 seconds; I have even induced it with a DL dongle. Repeats the same. Recovery mode is a no go-phone flashes sammy logo and goes silent. You are right the first issue to fix is the power button. I will update this weekend once I take it apart. Thanx all the same.

Mi A3 not booting in any mode, even no notification light on connecting charger

Hi,
I need help with Mi A3 which was running in Android 10.
Suddenly it shut down around 30% battery and was not booting after that.
Unable to boot it either in fastboot or recovery mode, no notification led on charging also.
It once booted into fastboot, but i restarted to try booting in recovery mode for resetting, but it didn't boot in recovery and later not even fast boot.
I tried following
Try 1
Charging overnight. (didn't worked)
Try 2
Disconnect battery.
Press and hold power button for 2 mins.
Plug in charger while holding power button.
Release power button after a minute.
Connect battery.
PS: It happened on the night of the last day of warranty :crying:
Edit: One strange thing i noted is that when I keep the power button pressed, i can hear some mild ticking sound holding phone close to my ear, on intervals just over 1 sec .
Can anyone help !!!

Sounds like a HW issue, so probably only service center can help. It might be cheaper to buy a new phone instead though (especially if they need to replace whole motherboard).
