Last Friday (24.09.2021) I changed my phone's battery. I cleaned my phone, somehow some alchool entered in the charging port then I plugged it in like an idiot. Luckly nothing else broke except the charging port so I ordered a new one. The phone was working fine at the time and I could have used it normally, just no charging.
Today I finally got it, switched it, tried to turn it on and it wasn't turning on. I put it to charge, expecting my battery to be just empty, and I see the red LED blinking and the screen wasn't turning on at all. At first I thought that it was just a faulty battery and I tried my old one, same results. I had an old P9 lite lying around so I decided to test my battery and it worked.
I'm worried that somehow I broke it even further and I won't be able to retrive my photos and important files back. Is there any way to fix it?

I think the only way to save your data is to extract the data from the emmc module and install it on a new motherboard (maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert). Ask the service center. But complete motherboard replacement is too expensive if you don't have a phone warranty...

Hi. It might be very very late, it's been one year since you posted this. But the exact same thing happened to me. Turns out you simply just need to force enter recovery, charge it a bit, maybe 5 minutes or so, then reboot.
Here's how I did that:
Back cover open.
Unplug battery.
[Be careful of static electricity]
Plug charger. The phone turns on.
Wait until it enters recovery mode.
Plug battery. Yes, in the phone on, recovery mode state.
Wait around 5 minutes.
Reboot.
If you can enter the main screen, wait a bit to see whether the battery is charging or not (the percentage goes up). If it's charging, then you can put everything back again.
If the phone stays dead when you plugged it with the battery unplugged, then maybe it's another hardware issue..

Thanks for replying, but unfortunately the problem still remains even after trying that. The furthest I could get is into recovery mode.
Bought a new phone a long time ago anyways, so it's no longer needed.

My Rezound is broken
I unlocked and de-sensed it, but that was when the unlock first came out and it's been working fine since, so I don't thing that's the problem.
The phone won't come on, and when I plug it in the charge light doesn't even come on. If I leave it plugged in, then take the battery out and put it back in the charge light comes on for a few seconds, then turns off.
I was at a new years party the night before and I may have laid down on top of it while it was in my pocket, but the water sensors are fine, and I don't remember it ever getting wet.
I notice there are a lot of connections between the phone and the back cover. Is it possible that something could be bent and these connections aren't being made, so the phone refuses to do anything? I tried putting wires across them where they would normally be connected, but it didn't seem to help.
So what do you guys think? Is there something else I can try? I guess if it's totally broken then they can't tell that it's unlocked, so I could try getting a replacement :/
First off, I wouldn't have put any wire across any of the antenna leads like that. Second, if the phone is not coming on with the cover off then you may have another problem. The phone should turn on without the cover. You just wouldn't have signal.
My opinion, try another batter if you know anyone who has one. Or maybe go to your VZW store and see if they will let you use one of theirs. If the battery/phone is too hot the LED will blink orange, once it is cool enough, or full enough to turn on/charge again it will become solid. The fact you get an indication when there is no battery leads me to believe there may be a problem with the battery itself.
with the phone off, pull the battery for several minutes. Then put it back in and plug it in to the charger. Do not try and turn the phone on. If the charge light comes on and stays on, just let it charge for a few hours until it turns green.
I've read of rezounds dying from the battery going completely out. Screws it up somehow. Verizon also has thunderbolt external chargers for 5 bucks. You could use that to charge the battery (it fits), then try and turn it on. If it still won't turn on after charging, put the battery in and try and boot into the bootloader menu (power on and vol down at the same time), from there you can restore your nandroid or flash another ROM if it will boot to it.
I tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, and then for the rest of the day. No dice in either case. I'll try to get an external charger tomorrow :/
Thanks for the ideas, I'll let you know how it goes.
Mine died overnight. Same symptoms, charging light for a few seconds then nothing. I plugged it in, let it sit for a while (didn't time it, but not more than 15 minutes). Unplugged it, then: held power, volume up and volume down all at the same time. It booted up, as soon as the screen came on, I plugged it back into the charger. Running fine now. Hope this helps someone else.
Went to Verizon today. I bought another battery and ordered an external charger. Swapped in the new battery and the phone started right up
Now I just hope I didn't screw anything up messing with the antenna contacts :/

After getting the new battery, does the orange LED come on while charging the phone when powered off? I replaced my battery after having the same problem and now the orange light does not stay on while the phone is charging when it is powered off. I guess it's no big deal, but it bothers me.

Yeah, it still works just fine. I turned it off just now and then plugged it in to check and the charging light came on immediately.
Maybe the battery is faulty or you got a thunderbolt battery by mistake and the phone is confused? Otherwise I have no clue why that would happen :/
I have them same problem. My phone is completely dead, won't turn on and a orange light comes on for 3 seconds and goes away and nothing happens. What do I need to do?
Sounds like your battery died. Pull the battery and let it sit for a few, then try to boot it back up and plug it in immediately.
I was reading a thread about this last night on RootzWiki. Dude did a lot of testing, came to find out it was ClockWorkMOD keeping a completely dead battery from charging at all. Is that the recovery you have? If so, I would put AmonRa on, try that.
Agreed, almost definitely a dead battery. You can try this:
1) Take out the battery and put it back in
2) Hold down power and volume down to enter the bootloader
3) Immediately plug the phone in and leave it there for 10 minutes or so
4) Reboot the phone now that you have enough power to make it through booting
This should work as long as your battery is completely dead.
My suggestion for the future though is to buy an external charger and a second battery. That's what I did, and now any time I accidentally let my battery die I just swap it out and I'm good to go at 100% while the other one recharges. Also an external charger is the easiest way to fix this if your battery is too dead for the above method.

Also, remember that if you are using Clockwork Recovery for some reason that makes the phone not charge when its powered down. I had the similar issue where i couldnt get it to charge or come on at all, i put in a battery from my TBolt and it turned right on, switched Recovery to Amon Ra (Blue one, not the Red one) and from there it charged no problem!

this worked for me! thank you!! also to come to think of it, the problem happened after installing clockworkmod recovery. so there certainly seems to be a connection

This absolutely helped me! I'm really liking this Rezound I picked up but the damn thing is also just very temperamental in general. Still a fantastic underrated device overall though.
My wifes d2g did that once. I ended up taking an old charger, stripping the ends off and taping it to the contacts on the battery for 30 minutes. It charged it up and after that it would charge thru the phone again. A lot cheaper than a new battery.

My battery started to drain fast few days ago, i thought it was a software issue(some apps). Yesterday i put it on the charger, as i didnt put it, nothing happend, i thought my charger broke, i put it on PC, same, wont charge, now im thinking the connector broke, u put USB OTG memory stick and it reads it normally, so the port is working, tryed factory reset and reflashing offical stock rom, problem isnt solved, also when the phone is in download mode on charger or pc, and i take out the battery the phone stays on, it takes power directly from the charger(this is normal), witch i think confirms its a battery problem, not a phone. Now, anyone faced this problem also? Have expirience whit this, any advice what should i do (im gona try with new battery but its a weekend, no stores working). Any help, any chance its really a battery problem, not a phone?
EDIT: Also when the battery is in, phone off, put it on charger, the empty battery shows, the grey curcle arrow rolls (battery stats are read), then it shows the battery level for a second, and the circles bellow it instead of zooming in and out in movement, it stays at the first for a seccond and then the display turns off, nothing, no red light also.

I hope you are right, i had that problem before, and replaced it, after then im extremely careful and gentle, so i think there are very low chances that thats the problem, i will take it to service later today, its still under warranty
Its probably a faulty battery
I had a faulty cable and man it was horrible
I was on vacations so no shops around, the phone would constantly show charger connected/disconnected and would take ages to charge
Hey all,
so a few months ago my SGS2 went off. It was an interesting behave of it, it just started to turn off sometimes, without any reason, without any popups (eg. battery low) or anything. I was really curious about this problem but I didnt have a single idea of what happened to it. Like a week later, it didnt turn on at all. I disassembled it, and found out that my secondary microphones cable broke. I thought that was the problem, so I ordered a new module (which includes vibrating motor, secondary microphone, ear-piece, and the jack).. I waited 3weeks, the first one arrived broken. I waited another month, and today the second one arrived in one piece. I put it inside the device to see if it works but its not. NOW the problem is, like it was before I ordered this module, when I try to turn the phone on, it doesnt do anything at all.(with the broken secondary mic cable it did, it went till the samsung logo and then bam, blackout) IF I put it up on charger, it says the battery is FULL, and from then, I push the power button and it starts to turn on, but goes until the Samsung logo, or sometimes it did boot, but thats rare, and then again BAM, blackout. Now I was like wtf? So i tried to reach recovery, I did a full hard reset to the full stock SGS2 ROM, tried other kernels, recoveries, ROM's, but nothing helped me. NOW If i enter DOWNLOAD mode without the charger, it says "Low battery! Cant download." and this happens right after i plugged the charger out, and it told me that the battery is full (what a liar), but when i plug the charger in, I can reach DOWNLOAD mode, and Recovery mode too, but they do blackouts after a few minutes too...
Any ideas?
Would be happy if anyone could help me out...
thanks :good:

oh and if it matters, its GT-I9100, 2 years old.
if you can get your hands on a different battery, i would recommned you to test it with that too.
as your device is 2 years old and i am assuming you havent changed the battery yet, there are strong chances of battery life getting over.

well today i am about to test a new battery, i hope thats what the problem is... an extra thing, and yes im stupid because of this but i left my battery in the phone for the 2 months while it was off... a friend told me that it can cause the batterys death, is that possible?
If u want to leave your phone switched off then it's better to charge it and then remove the battery from the phone. So there is a possibility that your battery is Screwed because of that time when you kept it in the phone itself.

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.
Hello,
This morning my phone went suddenly off, didn't think much of it because it had 20% battery left and thought I had to recharge it but it didn't charge and I couldn't power it on, no LED lights when connected to the charger, no nothing, I tried restarting it in download mode but still nothing, it had a custom rom flashed, this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-ressurrection-remix-m-t3270121
Had cyanogenmod before this but encountered some errors and got this one 1 week ago, it worked fine except random restarts.
Tried a different S3 battery from a friend and still nothing, my battery worked in his, it was 0% but charging although very slow, just 8% in half an hour.
Tried different ways to fix it following these steps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Before actually going to a service shop and replacing my motherboard I want to know if there is a cheaper way to get it fixed, tried the steps above but with a 2gb card instead of a 16 one, want to try the USB JIG method but I don't know if it will work.
Any information would be appreciated
If the phone doesn't power on at all, a USB jig probably won't help.
I suggest connecting the phone to the original charger or a more powerful charger with the original USB cable for a few hours and see if it will come to life.

Tried the USB jig, but it didn't work, I don't know if the jig was done right because i didn't find pin 4 and 5, only two wires sticking out of it but I found a workaround and still nothing, left it 3 hours with the original charger but still nothing.
I'm really lost here, can a phone just brick/die by itself? it showed some signs before, last 2 weeks with random restarts and some random app's being deleted but besides that it worked fine. The custom rom was Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 so I don't think its galaxy's infamous SDS and the last time it was working it had ~20% battery left and probably restarted itself and never managed to boot. Found some cheap S3's with damaged display but ok motherboards, thinking of buying one and using those or going to a service, maybe they can Jtag it.
A jtag service may be your best bet, depending on the cost because a used replacement such as an s4 maybe a better use of funds.
It seems like it IS a case of SDS. Nand corruption is commonplace and easily done at any time.
Remove the battery and plug the charger in. If no response then the phone is as dead as.
Take it as a sign to upgrade.

Same happened with me some days back.
I had 66% battery left.
I saw the phones notification light blinking. By mistake I clicked the power button for longer than required and the phone vobrated but the light was still blinking.
I then tried turning it on by clicking the power button but nothing happened.
So I thought it might have gone into some kind of worse lag so removed the battery and again plugged it. Tried turning it on, nothing happened. I thought maybe it needs charging so plugged it but nothing happened. The computer does not recognise it either.
It doesn't get turned on and don't charge too.
I was on aosp 5.1.1 and everything was alright until then.

Sorry but if it doesn't work with a usb jig and there's no way of booting in download mode and there's no led lights when charging, there was nothing left to do, tried 3 days in a row to bring it back to life, nothing worked.

Thanks for your help. My s3 is really wild. Yesterday i connected it to my pc and kept it connected,after like an hour it turned on by itself. But i found out that many of the things were not working like music could not be played, video's could not be played and became slower than usual. After some time the launcher started refreshing itself(donno why) and finally i removed the battery again. After that it had not booted up till now.
Anothet thing i noticed was that the power button was not working, i had to turn on the screen by pressing the home button.
Anyways thnks for the help [emoji4] .
