I used my phone this morning and it was fine. A few hours later I went to use it and it would not turn on. It is fully charged. I am running go launcher. I usually don't get asked which launcher I want to open it with when I wake my phone. But that screen flashed very quickly but I could not choose as the screen went blank very quickly. The screen was blank but the back button and the home button were lit up. I hit the power button so many times but nothing happens except the the 2 buttons lighting up. I went into recovery try to boot from there but nothing hapeens. It just goes to the HTC screen and hangs there. Its been on that screen for 10-15 and then I go back into recovery and still nothing. I tried to do a factory reset. It went to a screen with a picture of the phone and 2 green arrows going in a circle and a green down arrow inside the circle.
I have no idea what is going on. I have not done anything new to the phone. It is stock and I got Kit kat on it a few weeks back. Everything has been fine up until this morning. I understand the go launcher could cause a problem opening up the phone. But I don't understand why I cant do a factory reset from recovery. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
I also noticed that in the bootloader the very first line says 'LOCKED" is it supposed to say that?
Hi Guys,
my SGS6 Edge is not turning on, i have tried VolUp+Power , VolDown+Power also with home button nothing helps to turn on.
Do you have any idea
i have this problem too.
phones currently unresponsive, blue light flashing and none of the power/volume/whatever keys seem to be doing anything.
trying to let the battery drain and hope it boots back up once its switched off but cant find a way to reboot it at the moment.
Try to go into download mode...voldown+power+home...it never fails..once there you can cancel the download mode and the phone will (or at least should) boot normally...if it doesn't go into download mode as well..then...it's FUBAR

none of the options worked, phone was completely unresponsive with just the LED blinking every now and again.
i found that disconnecting the battery worked perfectly and now my phone works again, it only needed a reboot.
My Togari (with standard Sony Lolipop ROM) battery charge was at17% so I have connected it to a charger.
It did not get the red light on for some reason so I have switch the phone off. The red light came on and I have charge to 37% so I thought I switch the phone on. So I did that but instead the usual quick start up the phone went to black screen with a white popup message about checking 200 applications. It went from application 1 to 200 and the message changed to “Android is starting” in bold and the red arrow rotating next to text :”starting applications” below. This started two hours ago and still continuous this same. Looks like the phone got stuck in some kind of a loop. Attempted to press the power button to switch it off but to no avail. Any thoughts how to recover would be greatly appreciated?

Resolved. I switched the phone "OFF" using power and volume up pressed together. Restarted and is OK.
Hi i hope everyone is doing great today.
I brought this device a few weeks and worked pretty good. I havent used it for like 2 weeks it was always on sleep mode because i havent turn the tv on for 2 weeks. (it shows like a red light which is sleep mode on the device)
I switch the tv on and then the device with the remote control. It turn on blue indicating it is now on. But for a reason i cant seem to find it the android page on the screen.. it usually just click HDMI1 Or HDMI2 on the tv... like it worked all the times but now i cant see nothing no apps nothing. It has the device on and even if i tried to restart and unpluged and take out the HDMI cable off and back on the device will remain blue as in turn on at straight up even when i plug the cable back in.
So is there a way to fix this or a restart ? i dont no what happenend to the device or what is going on.
Not an issue with the tv...dvd player works... tv works... channels working. But the device shows a blank screen. i tru press the turn off button on the remote control but nothing does to it because there is a blank black screen on tv. I have the device unplug from the wall but even if i turn the power on the back wall the device will always show blue as in its on it is no longer sleep mode.... But still dont see anything on the tv screen for the device to the area which i normally watch. I checked the cables everything seems fine.
The small device has no reset or buttons.. you just have to relie on the remote control instead.
What happened to the device i have no idea... its just shows the device has a blue light at it. When its blue this means the device is turn on.
Since i haven't used the device for 2 weeks it was always on red colour on the device which means (the device is on sleep mode) because im not watching tv)
So what can i do? what do you think what is wrong? Nothing shows on the tv screen for it. But the device has now kept itself on blue light which means its always now ON if i plug the cables... it wont go to sleep mode or anything as in red light but nothing i can do because i dont see anything on the tv screen for this android device
Can you help? thank you

The devie was working pretty much fine and new and worked. When not watching the device went red color mode. But when i turn the device on with the remote control it went blue which emans i have just turn on the device. But i dont see nothing on screen no way for me to restart or anything because theres nothing on the screen on display. Just a blank screen. And no no one has touched the tv what so ever.
I have the same problem. Any solutions yet?
try this, it could be the power issue. unplug the power adapter cable from the device and use the USB port and USB cable for supplying power to the device.
Same issue second box now just frozen tried reset unplugging etc
Hi all,
I got this Xperia M5 that's been giving out warnings about memory being full and I suppose it finally gave in. It only partially boots after like a full minute of showing you those blue waves. When it 'boots' the screen is black and nothing works, except you can see the status bar with just the battery icon, no-SIM icon and the clock.
Weird thing is when the device is powered off, you can press the power button once and it'll display a large battery indicator which shows the percentage normally-- I've seen this go up from 0 to over 90 something incrementally.
But when it's 'on' the way I just described, the battery is always at 0% with a red ! next to it.
Anyway, when it's in this weird half-life mode, you can actually pull down the notification bar normally, and tap stuff as well. Flashlight works, you can see an actual WiFi list (nothing happens when you connect) etc. When you launch stuff through here though, like settings, it won't open anything. It'll make the sound as if it's launched something but the remainder of the screen will still be black.
Using the dedicated camera button, I can access the camera. It works (sort of), meaning you can see the camera display where the screen used to be black. And it immediately says "system process is not responding," so I'm guessing this is a system issue where it can't load basic stuff like the homescreen?
Whatever you do or don't do, it stops responding after a couple minutes and shuts itself off.
Stuff I've already tried:
- Safe mode (volume down + power), just 'boots normally'
- Recovery mode (volume up + power) done that for over two minutes, does nothing or just 'boots normally'
- Hold down the tiny yellow 'off' button under the SIM/SD cover, did nothing.
- Xperia Companion: PC won't recognize the phone either in that zombie state, or when it's off, so I tried 'device cannot be detected', shut phone down, held down volume down button, connected USB still holding down, waited for a while and viola, nothing happened.
It's factory OS, never messed around with it and I don't know the version (could be 5?).
Any ideas?
Guys at this point all I'm wondering is if anyone ever managed to brick a phone that's as semi-responsive as this one, in the history of bricked android phones anywhere.. I mean how could it be bricked when you can (sort of) boot and even open the camera?
you said it boots in download mode?

No I wouldn't say download, it's weird-- there's the status bar at the top and soft navigation keys at the bottom, but the homescreen in between these is black. I tried tapping this black area to see if stuff is there logically but you just can't see them, but there was no interaction, no sound or anything.
I am able to pull down the status bar to reveal the usual buttons and such, like I mentioned before you can turn on the flashlight, click to see a list of available wifis etc. But you can't access settings through here, I mean you tap settings and the main part of the screen is still black.
The only way to get the screen to work is to open the camera through its dedicated button, where the camera display works normally, you can switch cameras etc. Tried accessing the gallery through here but it didn't work.
I just don't wanna buy a new phone when this one doesn't seem bricked at all. If it like didn't respond at all and nothing appeared on the screen I wouldn't think twice before buying the first phone I see on Google.
im afraid that you have to flash stock rom again if you will boot into download/fastboot mode.but your problem seems strange.what was the last thing you have done before phone stuck like this?

Not my phone but it'd been going on about low memory for a while now. I got the PC to recognize it once in that zombie state, so I'll try that with Companion if I can get it to half-boot again. I'll post updates if anything happens.
