I have a KIW-L24 that has been stuck in a bootloop ever since it was dropped into water. The phone was put into rice for 24 hours but no luck. This particular phone is basically stock - no root, no custom roms, etc.
Current state:
When it was first charging, it appeared to be in a bootloop - showed the low battery icon, then black screen, slow battery icon, etc..
Once it had enough power to attempt a boot it shows the first "honor" boot screen, then goes into the bootloop
I've attempting flashing to default firmware - hold power + vol up + vol down - no luck, still continues to the bootloop
I've also attempted getting into fastboot - hold power + vol down - I can get the initial fastboot screen for a second or two before it reboots
Anyone have other ideas before I call this one dead and get a new phone?
Thanks
Seems more of a hardware issue now than software. Visit Service centre if possible. As you tried other stuff already

Please don't try to turn it on for now. Bring it to service center so that they can clean the insides and remove possibly rusts.
Thanks everyone. It doesn't look like there is a service center anywhere near me.

Keep phone off for couple of days and then restart. Who knows it makes a difference

take apart the phone, remove the back cover, then let both pieces sit in a bag of rice for about 3-4 days, same thing happened with my old phone and that did the trick.

First of all, I'm not sure if my Vibrant is "hardware-locked" or not - the battery has a date of 8/25/10 printed on it, the sticker behind the battery says "10.09." Either way, I cannot get into download mode. The phone was purchased 1 week ago today. I was simply attempting to disable the voodoo lag fix (using bionix 1.3 rom). I have tried every combination of getting the phone into download mode that I can find - is it possible? I sometimes think it's close to working because during the process a window on my computer pops up that says "hardware not installed correctly" which to me means that I was close. Someone please tell me if it's even possible to get my phone into download mode - it will start up, do the samsung galaxy animation, then go to black screen with the bottom buttons lit up. Thank you for any help you can provide - it makes me ill that I spent $500 on this 1 week ago and am now faced with a complete brick.

yes, when i rooted it, i used 1-click
Try this:
Take battery out
Put battery back in
DO NOT TURN ON PHONE!
Plug in USB
Wait for the green battery screen
Hold vol+ and vol- at the same time
Hold power
When the battery screen goes black, let go power ONLY.
I had a HW locked phone and this method allowed me to get into DL mode--still couldn't get into recovery, but at least I could use ODIN. Was a null point as the phone is bricked and a new one is on its way...
When you say a new one is on its way, did T-Mobile exchange it under warranty even though it was rooted?

If the above doesn't work.
Plug in USB to PC only
Insure Phone is off
Hold in Vol + and -
Plug in USB to Phone Holding Vol + and -
Release Vol + and -
Walla you are in Download Mode
Neither of these methods worked. what are the chances of t-mobile performing an exchange for me if all else fails?
you could try this too, it worked for me.
remove battery and put it back in.
plug in usb
hold vol up, vol down and power button.
when you see the vibrant home screen, keep holding the three buttons until the screen turns dark.
let go the power button and vol up but keep vol down pressed, you should be in download mode.
hope this help.

Since we all seem to have our own variations of this method, I can tell you the one that worked for me 99.99% of the time on the first try when I was stuck at the Phone ! Computer screen.
1) Remove battery
2) Hold Vol - and Power
3) Insert battery while holding these buttons
4) Plug in USB if it works.
Some have reported T-Mo swapping the device due to the inability to access download/recovery mode, but it doesn't seem to be something they will regularly do. Others have been successful by using the inaccurate GPS issue to get a replacement. Specifically by insisting it is not just inaccurate, but downright non-functional.

Yea...I tried relashing the stock rom using ODIN--for 4 hours over and over. It said "successful" in ODIN, but the phone was toast (would go past S boot screen then nothing. Just walked into TMO, said it "just would not do anything" with a feigned puzzled look and after a amateur cursory inspection the rep. just did his thing on the computer and a new phone is being sent to my house via UPS.
Hi everyone
My SGS 2 won't start anymore
I charged my phone, then went somewhere, used the phone, put it back in my pocket and the next time i looked at it it was shut down and i couldn't turn it on anymore, nothing happens at all.
theres no problem with the battery (it works on another SGS 2)
I rooted my phone and put lightning rom 1.2 on it. i had no problem rooting the phone and its the first rom since stockrom.
What should I do?
So you mean your phone won't boot anymore? There is no Samsung logo or anything?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
no logo, no vibration, just black
tried normal startup as well as "vol down, home, power"
Recovery vol up + home + pwr release at splash screen .
You can either try the usb recovery jig though this poster says it does not work but in my view worth a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206967
Or take your chance and return the phone under warranty .

Did you try removing battery, replacing and then turning on. I had the same issue yesterday and this worked for me.

Having the exact same problem,
Charged phone
Listened to some music for 30 minutes
put the phone away on the table
Two hours later I noticed the phone had shut down.
Trying to boot it nothing.
Nothing when put in wall socket charger.
Nothing when connected to USB.
Vol Up + Home + Power button does nothing.
running Lightning rom 1.2 or 1.3
Phone is 2.5months old.
You may have your last try - USB jig
Same problem here, shut down the phone to put a new microsd and when i try to start it only a black screen, no samsung logo, no vibrate, no nothing....

Any solution?
EDIT: WORKS AGIAN!!!! i leave it alone without battery around 30 mins then put battery and working again...

Tried many things and not working. Sending it in for warranty. At least they wont know its hacked until they fix it. Maybe they wont charge me...

Hi ,
My phone suddenly died on me. I was using Flipboard and after I close it by pressing the power button once short.
After few seconds I wanted to check something else and I push the home button as usual and the lock screen shows up I did my unlock pattern it shows me the green color and then it gets stuck completely froze. I didn’t have any choice than to press and hold the power button. After holding for more then a minute the screen went off but it didn’t vibrate as usual when is all shut down. I took the battery out , put it back and no luck. I tried all the button combination for recovery, download … nothing.
The battery was about 50% when it happened.
I’m on SLIM ICS 4.2 with FLUXI 0.3 kernel and I never had problems up to today.
I tried to charge it and nothing happens , no charging animation..
It’s anything else that I can try or to send it to Samsung service, but that will take more likely few weeks.
I’m lucky somehow as the warranty will expire on August 2.
Thx
You could try a new battery. You could also try a jig. If they don't work, send it in for warranty service & hope they don't notice or care you've been messing with it/been running non stock firmware.
If they do notice/care, you won't get warranty service. If they don't notice/don't care, you will. Getting this fixed under warranty is no certainty as running non stock firmware voids same.

Sounds like a hardware malfunction. Get it serviced mate.
Also even if the charging icon doesnt shows up, leave it plugged like an hour or so and try buttons again
Thanks guys ,
I tried other battery also ,nothing , not even the first Samsung Logo and/or the first vibration when it's on
I kept it plug for few hours or so and still nothing. I don't have a jig unfortunately .
Definetly ,I'll send it to be repaired , luckly is the company phone and I may push it for an SIII if cannot be repaired.
thx.
This may be an odd one.... Just had the latest ROM from Sammy ( 4.2.1 ) and all has been well until this morning. Left the phone on and charging but woke up to a black screen.
Pulled the battery for 10 mins and when the unit boots just sits on the Sammy i9100 screen. I've tried a few times and once only I got to the point where it was saying it was encrypted and type a password ( never used this feature ).
I can not get in to either the vol +, home, power or vol -, home, power modes but I can get in to download via the jig I have.
I'm thinking some things corrupted but putting a new rom from this state is some thing I've not done before especially as my phone supposedly has the brick bug - another reason I have never ROMed it before now.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.....

My phone just randomly started bootlooping and is now stuck in a permanent bootloop that only stops when I pull the battery and then starts right back up if I put the battery in and try turning it back on. I've had it for 6 months now, rooted it with Dirty COW six months ago and it's been completely FINE until just now.. the past few days it has been extremellllly laggy but still worked fine and then this happened out of the blue! I can't get into recovery and because it won't turn on to the lockscreen I can't do adb reboot recovery! Please someone help.
Again, it's rooted using Dirty COW but has been rooted for six months now; I have two batteries for it and I use Nova Launcher which also recently (within past week) started to continually crash and re-ask me which launcher I wanted to use by default, and did it every time it crashed.
Please help me someone! At least to get into recovery so I can get my stuff off!

do you have TWRP recovery installed?
there can be two possible solutions
1. go into twrp recovery and factory restore it
2. or connect to LG Bridge on your computer in download mode

What Can i do via LG Bridge? and I keep trying to get into TWRP but it won't let me; it just continues to show the yellow bootloader "Your bootloader can't be checked" or whatever that message is :/
I'm sorry to inform you that it seems that you are another one fallen into the bootloop of death. It is a well known hardware malfunction of several LG cell phone's mainboards.
You can try put your phone in freezer for 5-10 mins (without battery) and see if it restarts for enough time to perform a backup.
Another (much more risky) temporary solution is to heat it with a hair-drier for some minute, better disassembling it and trying not to heat camera zone too much. I honestly advice you not to try this second method, just inform you that it exists.
By the way, those two are only temporary workarounds, your phone is unrecoverable without a mainboard replacement or a professional resoldering of it.
Hope that some minute near the ice will suffice to get your V10 back for recover your data.
Good luck!

With lg Bridge you can restore you phone to it's original form.
and do not try heating or freezing method your phone has a software failure not hardware.
and about that scree show unable or something it shows once you install custom recovery.
if you previously have installed the TWRP then here is the method to get into it
a) pull battery out, and put it back in to make sure phone is completely powered off
b) Press and hold volume down + power button, as soon as phone lights up and shows LG logo release power button for just one second and press again untill you see a hardreset screen
c) on hard reset screen press vol - button on yes and press power button to select yes and do it again on next screen, it will lead you to TWRP Recovery

uh, no his phone is done.This is a hardware failure, its pretty clear.The lag op described is exactly what happens when the phone is about to go into the inevitable bootloop.op's best bet would be to put it in the freezer to salvage data if he needs to.i tried the heat gun method, no go but freezer had my phone up for 5 mins before it went back into bootloop.
thnx

Your phone is gone, your best bet is to call LG, best you can hope for is to explain to them that you recently got this phone, say within last 6 months, and now it is in a bootloop, you may get a replacement, I have already done about 20 of these LG V10 phones that way, they just end up replacing the board in it, but other than that, there strictly must not be any liquid or physical damage to inside or screen or they will charge you for it.
I am not 100% entirely they will still honor the fixing of bootloops due to warranty status, but I stopped sending mine in in December last year, but this is for a defect they admit and not normal wear out that is in the actual warranty coverage.
Never buy an LG phone anymore. Me and my children will never buy again an LG phone.

I tried it and it resurrected my phone. Good luck
I tried it and it works very well. It resurrected my phone. No bootloop since last night. What I did was :
1st-put electric tape on the cpu and gpu(4 or 5 layers of tape). I tried to put tape and make it to fit the surface of the cpu and gpu.
2nd-I put the pile on the back
3rd-reboot the phone and voilà it's working well till now.
I hope that it can continue like that.
