[Q] My Desire HD won't boot

Hi
So i got my Desire HD 2 days after they started selling here in sweden and i've never had any problems with it what so ever, until today.
So when i got to school today my Desire HD wouldn't boot up, it worked this morning when i sent a text to my friend. I figured i hadnt plugged it in correctly when i was going to charge it last night but that wasn't the case. I tried to remove and reinsert the battery but that wouldn't work, i also tried to remove the memory card, wouldn't work either.
I can't boot it at all, i can't even boot it to recovery mode.
I really am in big trouble, if anyone knows what is causing this or has experienced this please respond...

If it is completely dead then Id try another battery....yeah easier said than done I know...none of your mates got one??
Is it under warranty??
Have you installed a custom rom?
Does it boot when plugged into the mains?
It may just be the circuit board or connectors to the battery??
To be honest...it could be bloody anything..

Nope no one i know have one :/
It's unrooted so no custom roms in it.
It does NOT boot when plugged into the mains either
I think it's under warranty since i bought it not that long ago, but i didn't buy extended warranty though so i dunno

does a light come on when you plug it into the wall to charge?

Have you looked at the connectors on the SIM card & battery covers? Mine look like they are simply painted on. Yours maybe worn....

Nope theres no light...
I don't really know what you mean by painted on because i looked at mine and they stick out a bit, if i'm looking at the right piece.

It's a bit useless to begin discussing about this. YOu have done nothing to void your warrenty. It should boot and it doens't. That means you should return it. This isn't you problem, so to say.

I had the same issues, unattented reboots, then DHD randomly turning off. And last Saturday, impossible to start it again. At this point, I had rooted it, S-OFFed it and installed ClockWork Recovery and a custom ROMS as well.
Anyway, I sent it for maintenance yesterday and expect to have my DHD repaired within the next two weeks...

[Q] Kindle Bricked

My mother got my niece a Kindle fire 2 for Christmas. I wanted to root it and turn it into a android based device. I rooted it successfully but when I tried to get it into recovery it just shutdown on me. I got to the screen with the triangle and whatever I forgot but after, it just won't come on.
I am an experience person at rooting/flashing devices I just didn't really realize it was a kindle fire 2 ( I really don't keep up with kindle products). I ordered as factory usb cable which was almost a month ago, but when I do get this cable how do I get my niece kindle to boot back up or can it be done without that cable.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I haven't done it myself, but you should be able to get into fastball mode and then push certain partitions back onto the KF 2. There is a thread for restoring a device in this forum, which may help if you didn't backup the partitions as soon as you rooted.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you OP, but I've gotten a factory cable. Not that it really helped though, fastboot doesn't find my device when plugged in with the factory cable. I suspect it's a driver issue, but I can't fix that right now as I'm away from my normal computer.
Also, someone advised me in a different thread to take off the back cover and short the USB, just like you would with a bricked KF1. That didn't work either.
I'm going to put some more time into fixing my device after this weekend.

Ok so i order my factory cable almost been a month now. I got really tired of waiting on it.
So last night i decided to make my own factory cable. The instructions looked simple, connect a wire from pin 1 to pin 4. I did that and my device was still not going into fastboot. Is there some type of program that i am suppose to use with the factory cable. If no programs then maybe i didnt build the cable right.
Then I will just have to wait till I recieve my factory boot cable and try again.

i dont no if this will work for you guys but i got out of a boot loop caused by me freezing the home launcher.Like you my kindle couldn't be seen by adb so after hours of messing about i downloaded super one click root using this programe to install the drivers i then did adb devices and it was back online.So from there i used the KFU to root as this boots the KF to that screen which askes you to save or not save but from that screen i was able to pull down the notifications bar and go to more from there i could hit the star button and get to silk i downloaded titanium backup and unfroze the home launcher rebooted and my kindle was back alive.Just one thing to note after doing this my kf couldnt be seen by the pc as a mass storage device you need to uninstall the drivers super one click installed and all is well hope this helps.

can you post links of the files you downloaded
update: i download super one click and tried to find the device that way but the problem is that my device is completely bricked. When it is connected to the charger it will not even show a green or orange light as if it was charging.

Where did you get the cable? I would check out Skorpn. He makes them here at XDA and is really good about quality and shipping. If you live in the US it shouldn't take more than a week I assume to get the cable. Ordering one from him after work

so is skorpn a user or a website, if he is a user give me his contact info
updated: no website

Here, he is a user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=500006
I got my factory cable from him, took 9 days to be shipped over here in the Netherlands. Would really recommend.

I been trying to make this factory fastboot cable for days now. Do I suppose to modify a motorola usb cable because right now I am using a samsung usb cable. I know my soldering aint that bad, never had any problems soldering anything else.
Any help, I will be greatly thankful.

Mmm not very knowledgeable on this topic, but I succesfully built my own fastboot cable yesterday evening and, from what I understood, just any usb cable would do. I mean, provided it has a usb plug on one side and a micro-usb on the other
I just took the first cable that came to my hand, carefully cut open the micro-usb plug, and soldered points 1 and 4 visible on the enclosed image (upper figure, and do not link 4 and 5 as is displayed, I think this is for OTG). It was a work of patience as the plug was really small, but I finally managed it!
Good luck with yours!

Finally got my factory cable and guess what. Kindle still won't come on or even go into fastboot. I believe the one I made was a good one.
Question is still in the air, is there some kind of software i suppose to run for fastboot to work or does the kindle suppose to go into fastboot as soon as I plug it into the pc.

It is supposed to boot up when connected to comp and kf.do u think battery is dead? When u say wont come on do you mean screen backlight wont even turn on. If not then try turning off kf plug fb cable into comp then plug into kf. It should boot into fb mode. Also your cable might not be made well(just a suggestion)

When I say it wont come on, I mean the back light is not coming on or the power button wont light up as if something is connected. And yes I thought it was my cable that I made, now the one I bought is here and still no luck. I let it charge before but I'm going to let it charge the entire night and try again tomorrow.
Thanks for the feedback.

I had the same behaviour (or lack of behaviour :/) with my first kf2, on which I had tried to install the KF1 boot - yeah I know, you never read enough before flashing
No reply at all, either with normal usb, charger, or selfmade fastboot cable (tested on my new kf2)...
The thing is as soon as I saw it was bricked, I called Amazon for a solution ("don't know what happened, yesterday evening all was ok, this morning it wouldn't boot"). They asked me to perform a few tests (basically let it charge for 2 hours and try to boot again), and when I called back they just started the replacement procedure: I had a new item within 3 days, and 1 month to send the first back (carriage paid).
I just sent the first one back, so maybe they'll investigate and charge me, but honestly I doubt they'd give a damn

I'm in _exactly_ the same situation. I'm going to try sending Amazon an e-mail about it, although the device was gifted to me from the US and I live in The Netherlands.

SOLVED: HELP NEEDED!!! Note 2 wont turn on. BadgeProvider and Samsung has stopped!!!!

As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????

Also to add to this, yesterday when I was taking the phone's battery out and in the phone would start booting by itself. Could this be a power button issue? I've only had the phone for about 10 months and never dropped it without the otterbox defender series on it.

From that statement above, having the otter box doesn't mean you'll be protected against drops. Yes it'll protect the phone but still suffered inside the device! I had a friend crack his screen on the corner, with an otter box on with one drop!
Now back to the phone:
Since you can get into recovery have you tried a factory data reset to see if that fixes your problem..

I plan to read all responses as soon as I can because I'm in dire need of help. The phone WILL NOT turn back on. The first day I had the problem it gave me the "BadgeProvider" has stopped working and also the "Samsung" has stopped working error messages. The only thing that was responsive was responsive was my notification bar. I could slide it down turn wifi on and off etc from there but when I hit the setting button on the notification bar it would not open up the settings immediately and there was maybe a 2 minute delay (I walked away from the phone and came back to it) and it would finally open it up but giving me the 2 error messages "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped working. Read online that clearing the BadgeProvider data under "Application Manager->All->BadgeProvider" would fix this issue so thats what I did. Wallah it worked fine.....fell asleep without my phone on the charger and it died but I have 5 batteries so who cares. Woke up noticed the phone was dead then I swapped batteries (OEM Samsung battery). Tried to turn it on and it will not turn on. Tried putting it on the charger (even though it should be a freshly charged battery) and the red charging light will not even come on. Tried to boot into recovery mode and still unresponsive.
As of now I CANNOT boot into revovery mode, turn on the phone in any way, get the charging light to come on when plugged in (I have 5 other batteries plus an external battery charger so its definitely not truely dead battery wise), I cannot get the phone to do anything what so ever. Tried removing external storage from it, tried removing sim, tried 5 different fully charged batteries and nothing.
Anyone that can give me some insight on what the problem may be and a possible solution I would greatly appreciate it.

True, true.....Or, they post the same question in five forums....lol.
What do you guys think about using Odin? Can he get into the phone if it won't go to recovery? Can you install TWRP or CWM, they may automatically set the phone to restart in recovery mode? Just some thoughts....I am not a dev., just an avid user.
Something here might help as well. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779
Keep us posted on what you try, and your status. Good luck.

Also if it helps any, I have had my phone restart by itself randomly way before rooting it. After rooting I still had the restarts just as I have always had (maybe once every 3 weeks). Rooting it gave me no errors at all and it has been working fine for months being rooted. Not sure if letting you guys know of the restarting issue is going to help anything but I'm telling you all I know to try to debug this issue.

So there is no power at all, not even a loop. I had a similar problem with a LePan tab, but when I plugged it into my laptop via USB, it would start.....Sorry. Sounds hardware....

Thanks man. I'm thinking it's hardware too. Herd of motherboard problems early on with this phone that would cause it to randomly shut off and not come back on.
Has ANYONE had any experience with samsung repair centers???? Do they care if the device is rooted even if its a known hardware issue?

I've read a few people having that problem with the phone randomly turning off.
[Q] did you get the phone New or used? If its used you have a lot of people out there selling devices with problems that they couldn't fix! FYI
#2
Does it get recognized by the PC?
When you plug it in? If so then you should be able to try the Kies recovery!
If not then kies won't help..

I brought it directly from AT&T new. And nope. Tried pluggin it into the PC and not recognized. Tried Kies and Odin and neither had any affect. The phone is just completely unresponsive now.
Thinking about trying to take it to Samsung before AT&T so I can try to miss the deductible.

Remove the battery ...then plug the device in to USB connection with your PC...
Then attempt to boot the phone into download mode..
If successful ....then immediately push the rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinsons thread in the development section...
If no download mode exists while attempting boot with the battery removed ...then the likelihood of device damage is high...
This of course does not rule out the possibility of a stuck power button ...but that hardware failure generally presents a repeated and uncontrolled loop which in this case we are not seeing...
Odin mode failure generally means a defective or damaged Chipset...g

Ok since you want to take it in to Sammy. And you did state you got it New from the AT&T store. Then you can take it into one of the DSC. (Device support center)
Check HERE:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429&cv=820#fbid=CS_QLPeF54-
Hopefully there's one in your area. I have one like 10 mins away from me
Hopefully they can help you get back up and running. No charge either. It's a warranty center. Member no Rom talk in there.. LOL:sly:
But if they can't get it to turn on you'll be getting another the same day. Takes about a total of 15 minutes and you'll be on your way with your new toy!! Yay and good luck to you. Lety us know what you're outcome is!

Got a new phone. It was a painless process. Just walk in play dumb and talk as least as possible. They never asked a question about rooting. I'm guessing because I seemed like an idiot . Going to let it do all the updates it can then going to root it tomorrow using CFroot.
Thanks all for the info.
Anyone reading this in the future let me know if I can help in anyway.

Glad you got a new device ..and for the record ...I personally believe you had a bad device from day 1...
Normally I would frown on anyone taking back a device that has been modded ...but I can see no evidence in your case that indicates your doing anything that would break your chipset ...
And I know that others feel the same way ...
You tried your guts out ...and the device just didn't act properly from day 1...
Please place a "Solved" in the thread title if you don't mind ...
That way ...everyone knows the issue has been corrected ..
Many thanks ...and....
Happy flashing ....g

[Q] My Nexus 7 doesn't turn on or charge

Hello guys.
I wanna start saying that i found a couple of threads about this issue but none of them was about the 2013 version of this tablet.
Two days ago I was on a plane to London, i turned off my Nexus 7 2013 (the device has at max 3 months and i bought it brand new) that was fully charged.
During the flight I didn't turn it on...when I was at home, approximately 3 hours after, I tried to turn it on without success...tried to recharge it but no response from it...no blinking or steady white light.
Till now I still can't figure out what happened to it considering I just turned it off normally.
I tried all the steps provided by several google official support pages without luck. I also opened the back cover too see if some connectors were not properly attached; no problems there.
I am really starting to think that something broke.
My question would be: I bought it directly from Amazon and I was wondering if it's a problem that I rooted it and I installed a custom rom on it. Is it possible that sending it back will result in having it back myself without any kind of repair attempt?
Thanks to everyone will give this some time

Have you happened to try booting it into fastboot regardless of it not actually starting up? It's a long shot but you could try it.
Also if Amazon can't turn it on either it shouldn't be a problem.

By fastboot you mean the procedure where you have to press volume down + power button?
Anyways i kinda tried everything, it just doesn't respond.
Altough what I noticed just yesterday was that if I plug it to the charger it gets warm on the back, upper part meaning that the power still goes through...
But thinking that this is something related to the battery doesn't feel right...it was fully charged when I turned it off the last time.
I think i should give it back with RMA...It feels like the only choice i have.

I agree with that.

Possible brick?

Hey guys. Bit rusty on this phone as I have been on the M8 for a while but my wife uses it. Her phone is stock rooted (Digiblur's rom I think.) and today after having the phone charging over night she went to turn it on and it got stuck on the Samsung logo screen. I don't have the phone near me at the moment but can you guys refresh my memory and advise the best steps to take? Pretty sure the phone has TWRP recovery but I forgot how to manually access it (if that's even the right course of action.

Not a single person who knows what to do or cares enough to point me in the right direction

Damn man you posted 8 hrs ago. You expect someone to just jump out and fix your issue asap? Give people a chance and you might get help.
My first guess would be battery. Plug phone to wall and see if it boots fully. If it does unplug it and it will most likely shut down or crash. You should be able to boot into recovery without being plugged in since it requires much less power to run. This device has come to that point in its life span where the battery just gives up. I bet if you ask your wife she will probably have noticed that charges don't last as long either.

Check this out worked for me. I would deff check battery first but if that fails this could help you. I know when i wasnt rooted on stock rom the phone had an error in recovery saying efs folder couldnt mount. After rooting the stock rom with a custom recovery, the error didnt show up but was still present.
