[Q] Is my phone bricked??? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so, while listening to music the other day on my new evo rockin' cm7 rc2, the volume would turn up, but not down, so I decided to take out the battery. I left it out for a second, and when I put it back in, the phone would not turn on.
I took it to the car, and let it charge for about three hours, then tried to turn it on.. the phone just vibrates 3 times, and starts blinking the green light like there's a message, but the screen never turns on.
When I try to boot it into recovery, the phone vibrates 5 times, but still gives me the same result...
So, I was just wondering if my phone is completely gone, or maybe something is wrong with the battery?

Try a new battery first. Are you able to get into recovery?

not sure if you are just being a troll, but your answer is here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204

it seems that my phone is just stuck i diagnostic mode, anyone know how to disable it.
I know leaving the battery out for a LONG period of time will allow you to boot into bootloader, anyone know how much time?

[Q] Phone won't turn on!

This started about 2 days ago. At first, I was on Liquid smooth ROM and my phone suddenly turned off, and kept ketting pulse vibrations but would never turn on. I could only get into cwm recovery, so i restored to JMTX2 ROM
Today, It happened again. But now, i cannot even get into the CWM recovery. Someone please help!!
as of now, it just pulse vibrates with a blank screen. (it shows "samsung" and then starts vibrating).
How can i fix this?

Yeah my phone has done that once before, but not with Liquid smooth. I remember it just giving me a blank screen with vibrations that didnt stop. I couldn't tell you what caused it or anything but I remember just taking the battery out for awhile, using a different charger (it worked for me), and just letting it stop doing whatever it was doing lol.. It probally went on for like 2 hours or so but I was doing whatever I can to turn it back on. I hope it works for you, just keep messing with it and it should stop eventually. Good luck

From what I've read, sounds like your power button could be stuck.
Check this out.

It was exactly that. I fixed it last night.
Solution: I took a small pin and a small flathead screw driver and picked the edges of power button. eventually it started up again!

Xperia play vibrates but doesnt turn on?!?!

Hi,
So I've had my Xperia Play (R800i) for almost a year now. It was working perfectly fine like any other day, then i didn't charge it one night. So now, it doesn't turn on at all. I hold down the power button, it vibrates, like it always does to tell me its turning on.. But nothing! Nothing comes up, the screen just stays blank like its turned off. My first thought is to take out the battery and put it back in but nothing. I try countless times, but still the end result, was a blank phone. When i put it on charge (before i hold the power button), nothing happens, then after a few seconds the LED charging light turns on, it was orange or red, i cant remember, so i left it like that. Came back a few hours later, the light was green, but still nothing happens when i try turn it on, except that little pitiful vibrate i get every time. I did leave my phone off by itself for a bit and still the same result. Yes my phone was rooted but i did this way back before this happened. So please help me, i beg of you.

Do you guys have full battery or did you accept any ota updates?

I had this problem, and if you flash a JB kernel, you will see that the screen will show up, so the problem is that ALS chip doesn't work anymore, so you have to replace it, in ebay there are a ton of them. I thought it was a water damage in my case and i broke it, so won't boot up anymore.

This might be off topic but i LOL'd a bit there. I know he is just trying to help and I also get your point but it made me giggle when i read your post like "wtf bro why do you always have the same answer in every black screen thread." I don't know, maybe I'm just nuts. LOL!
Anyway, back to topic, We have the same situation. Black screen and just vibrates when you switch it on. It's been 4 days since my phone died on me. I really missed my Xperia Play now. But as fma965 said on the other Q&A thread, it might be the flex cable. Good luck and I hope you can fix your phone. Not unlike me, my only option is to buy a new one.

[Q] Help, possible soft brick?

I powered off my phone this morning and left it in a hot car for about 6 1/2 hours, and when I tried to turn it back on, no dice. The LG logo comes up for a split second and thats it. I can tell the screen is still on, it's just black. No luck booting into recovery. It is rooted, and I honestly don't know what recovery I installed, probably twrp. Any advice before I take it to best buy or sprint?

Are you sure it's turning off? Press and hold the power button for 20+sec. Then see if it'll boot, or recovery

Fixed using teeny bin/LGNPST after doing some research. I love the internet, I'm not smart enough to figure this stuff out on my own.

Battery problem?

<Hello world>
I have this issue, I have a Hercules black and when i turn on the phone it stuck in boot logo, it passes Samsung logo, then quickly to T-Mobile loading screen, it keeps there 2 to 5 sec, then to samsung and 2 seconds after just reboot and again and again, so I connect it to charger, it says almost full battery, ok, I turn in on, boots normally but in last boot screen (Samsung logo) it keeps there about 1 minute and finally enters to Android, I wiped the phone almos 3 times, changed rom to 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 again, its not rooted, its in stock, and the phone randomly shut down, I dont know why, because I made a Antuntu Benchmark to check if the problem maybe will be caused by CPU load but nothing, it turns off in Facebook , so I left it in standby about 30 minutes and when i get back the phone was soo hot, i pulled battery off and I dont see nothing strange in it, the phone was hot, not the battery, also i taked apart to see if a cable was bad connected but nothing, so I dont know what it haves.
Also, sorry for bad english.
Sounds like u may have a power button issue, if not that then I would suggest updating to 4.1.2 or rooting the device and not switching back and forth without rooting like that...

I checked it, but it doesnt turn on by himself when i put the battery and it doesnt keep vibrating except when it turns off by himself, i watched that when I am using it it just get too damn hot in camera area and it turns off, also when i make a call or answer it it just freeze it and i cant hang off and press any key, so i have to quit the battery, also i dont get sound, i dont know if its related, i dont get sound from speaker or earphones but from the front speaker i get sound for calling...
Someone can tell me what problem is it? I dont know what part i have to repair and I need to use the phone.

Need help with dead phone

I have this M8 for awhile and out of nowhere, today it's just dead, can't turn on or do anything to it. I was talking on the phone then it just hang, so I turn off the screen and it went black after that. Tried to turn it back on, boot to bootloader, but nothing work, it's just black out. Any advise on this ? Thanks. Last I checked, the battery is on 40%.
PS. This phone has not been mod or anything like that, just got this phone for a few months so don't want to do anything to it yet. So basically, this phone still untouched with any mod.

Try a "hard reboot". Hold Volume Up and Power for 10 seconds.
