phone wont turn on but LED blinks - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

well i fell asleep with my phone on the charger and when i woke up i touched my phone and it was really hot. Ive never had my phone so hot before, so i pulled out the charger and pulled out the battery and let it sit until it cooled down. Now when i try and turn it on a blue LED light blinks and it disappears . Any help?

Were you on ICS by any chance? What ROM were you on?

Yes i am on ICS and I am on AOKP

Does it blink on its own, or when you hold down buttons? Will it stay off w/o pulling the battery? If it is a steady blue light when your not touching it, its bricked.

how? and i just checked and its blinking on its own.

try to enter download mode by holding volume down and power, even if the screen doesnt turn on see if odin will recognize it, its your only hope.

Sounds like its overheated! This happened to me before where my phone got so hot when charging that it shut off with a blue light. I just took out the battery and set them down and let them cool for a while. Were you using the charger that came with it or a diffrrent one? It seemed to me like the charger I was using when it happened caused it cause its never happened again.

u were using aokp? what kernel? what recovery? any other mods? would like to know! thanks! sounds like its bricked!

Just a theory but is it possible that it fried the battery out and now it won't turn on cause it pretty much has a dead battery? Do you happen to have access to another battery you could try and see if it comes on? Also when you plug in the power cord with the battery in does the screen come on with the charging screen(battery with green fill showing charge level)?

Bricked or dead?

I was flashing a ROM, kernal, and radio. The phone went to reboot and nothing. I have tried the power button, holding down the volume rocker and the power button, both with and without the USB plugged in. When I plug it into the computer the computer beeps meaning it sees something is plugged in but the RUU doesn't see. The most telling thing to me the LED doesn't lite up indicating it's charging. So did I somehow brick it dead as a hammer or did it die?
I searched but didn't see anything like this. The other bricks I would would still turn on.
If it is bricked you probably did it flashing the radio. I hope someone can help you. And I know you might be panicking, but for future reference, this thread belongs in another section. Just saying before you get flamed.
Hate to say it but pretty sure its bricked. I don't mess with radios knowing my luck I'd have a nice paper weight.

Try new or different drivers...RUU's can sometimes suck in that aspect.
Try another battery/battery pull yet?
my 2¢
Does it ever boot up into a black screen with green arrows in a circle?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try this as I was in the same situation. Strange as it may sound it's sometimes your cable and charger and the voltage that it is sending.
Mine did that after an updated kernel. It would charge and then drain and it went to blank and nothing. Battery pulls, different cables, etc. nothing seemed to work. I was about to get a replacement. So I thought I would just try another charger. well I had already tried the car charger(no good), I tried the usb charger(no good) and I tried the usb pc(no good). As a what the hell thought I plugged in the OEM HTC charger and it worked.
Now today I flashed the CM 6 WIMAX ROM with the WIMAX Kernel that is used with it and guess what? The OEM charger would not take and charge at all but another wall charger and PC USB port will charge the phone.
It is strange but it is happening. Just thought I would share my experience so maybe you can experiment with it before calling it quits on your current setup.
If you have your OEM HTC USB wall charger make sure you use that. You will know if it works. It will blink an orange LED slowly. If so then let it sit for a few and then boot into the recovery and try another kernel.
What was your last kernel?
Good luck.

As in holding down the volume and powering on? If so, no dice. It won't boot at all.
How long has it been? I remember once my phone was spazzing out after a flash and wouldnt boot right. I ended up pulling the battery and letting it sit for a good 10 minutes without battery. Reinserted and was then able to boot to bootloader and flash a PC36IMG.zip
try another battery, I would think that unless the phone is total doorstop there should be a light on when charging even if off

I don't access to another battery unfortunately.
Try booting with the sd card removed, just to rule it out.
try battery pull wait 10 seconds(for cache reset) then insert
then try Vol. down and power.
if not try power on(after cache reset)
Take the battery out.most of the time doing this will reset the phone.I had the same thing happend to me.I hope this helps
dead or bricked

I just received my T-Mobile galaxy S2 an hour ago, no root... completely stock.

Take the battery out for 2 minutes. put it back in. Do not turn it on. Then plug it into the charger for 10 minutes and then power it on. Might sound like joke but I'm dead serious.
**EDIT**
Its possible the things battery just died. If its completely dead it wont do anything I've scared myself like this once as well. If this does not work try download mode. The fact alone its not rooted tells me it might just need some more charging time.

Help! Phone won't boot up at all

So, I woke up this morning and I went to go check some messages on my phone, but when I checked, the phone wouldn't turn on. I charged it like I usually did and when I got to it, the blue led light was flashing. Not brightly, but just like it would try to turn on, but it can't so the light slowly fades away. I tried to hold the power + volume buttons (both up and down) but it still wouldn't do anything. Any help before I take it into sprint?

Get a brand new quality USB cable. A HUGE amount of issues can be resolved by just doint this, believe me.
I was using the charger cable it came with but connected to my computer
well your computer USB port can only push 500mA out max. sounds like its undercharging your phone. the stock charger pushes 1000mA or 1A.

[Q] Xperia Ion Bricked?

Hi guys, this is sort of a last resort thing and I've read the thread with "Xperia Ion bricked. Any fix?".
Basically, I was doing the battery callibration (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760207&highlight=battery) and so did the power + volume up button. I did this around 3 times as it went from 95% to 98% then I was expecting it to go up but it stayed at 98% so I decided to do it once more. However, instead of usually vibrating, the screen just instantly went off. Tried to power up but it didn't work. Took it off from the charger and tried all button combinations (power + volume up/down) and still to no avail.
Then I put it in the wall charger again and the LED seems to have a faint orange light coming when charging so I know it's actually charging... Then I thought it may be possible that for some reason, the battery is drained and followed the "Xperia Ion bricked. Any fix?" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771106. After around 15 minutes, the faint orange LED vanished and so I took it off the charger, did the button combinations again and didn't do anything. I put it back in the charger and see the faint orange LED...
Now it's just charging and I don't know what to do Is my beloved Ion bricked? I just got it a month ago :crying: what should I do with it?
Tried plugging it in the computer and PC Companion didn't see my device
Also I live in the UK and I got the phone from Indonesia... It still has a years guarantee but I can't go spend £500 for a ticket just to fix my phone
I'm extremely desperate, please help!

Is the phone on? Meaning it's using power in some way (led on, screen is black but on, button lights stay on)? If so you may need to drain the battery, if the reset trick isn't working. Once the battery is dead (this can take up to 24 hours) and it shuts off, try charging it. Do not turn it on till it's charged more than halfway.

The ion battery CAN'T be remove no matter what...and to TS,if your phone still can't be turn on,try to let the battery completely drain,and leave it like that for 1 hour,and after that try to charge back...
I afraid your phone thought it was 'on' but the screen is 'off' like my old x10 Mini Pro which when I turn on,it vibrate and on (yep,alive) but the screen is black BUT I can feel the touch and the vibration of the phone.To fix the problem,I remove my phone battery for 10 minutes and turn it on again,after that it works perfectly...

If there is a problem after you root, you're done. The Knox flag will be permanently (at least until someone figures out how) set to 0x1.

I'm in the UK and this thing is freezing really bad. I'm hoping it survives this trip without the black screen of death.

So, first thing in the morning just pulled it off the charger with 100% battery. There I was sitting on the stool browsing my phone, as usual, when suddenly BLACK SCREEN... Pushed power button... nothing... pulled battery, held power button.... nothing.... plugged into charger, held power button... nothing... Pretty sure my phone just died. It was running 100% stock, without any rooting... Has this happened to anyone else???
EDIT: Also tried to plug it into my computer to see if i could access USB storage... nothing happens...
EDIT2: Went to Tmobile store, got it replaced... guy said this is the first one he has seen do that...

This has happened to me several times on my Note 2. The only remedy I could come up with was to play music while I slept since I charge my phone overnight while I sleep
