So i was updating my international GS2 via Kies a few hours ago (windows XP) and it was all going smoothly up until the part when the screen of my phone got to the android and the "downloading, DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" bit came up. It started to load, but then my computer suddenly came up and said that it couldn't recognise the device anymore and that i should take out the battery and plug it back in :/ i waited for about 5 mins and then i hit the "ok" button on the error msg, and then it disappeared and kies just went back to the home screen and started trying to reconnect to my phone :? :?Phone is still sitting on the desk with the "Downloading" thing still on the screen...

Was updating phone to Windows Phone 7 Nodo, HTC 7 Trophy and the phone froze, and a red ring appeared around the arrow on the update screen on the phone, after a considerable time later Zune froze on my windows 7 pc and started straight away, thinking the phone was disconnected. It then tried to restore but could not, so i restarted the phone and the screen comes up again in zune and cannot restore, any fixes, Zune is latest version and running fine up until now!

It looks like the bootloader is somehow damaged.
Find someone with a usb jig or warranty?
Hey Good afternoon.
I own a samsung galaxy tablet 3, 10.1 inches version.
it is not rooted but i sideloaded games on it.
while playing a game my device first froze then shut off, leaving a blank screen.
I am frustrated because every method i have used didnt work.
i tried the power button options along with the volume up and down, i left it charging overnight for 6 hours and tried again. and still nothing.
Also, i tired connecting to my computer by usb and it nothing showed up. it is also not showing in keis.
I am really frustrated, Can someone help me please?
So it's the second time my G3 gets stuck and won't come back to life. 6-7 months ago it was stuck onto the firmware update screen (thou I never messed with rooting and stuff) and I had to send it back to LG Italy since it was still under warranty. They just wiped everything off, replaced something and sent it back to me.
Today's problem: Phone was off this morning and when I tried to turn it on it seemed like battery was dead. Charged it and turned it on after a while, got into home screen and a weird message about whatsapp loading issue because my phone time wasn't correct. On top of that the phone was totally frozen and didn't respond to any imput, so I had to remove the battery and put it back in. From now on, the phone is stuck on logo screen. Tried to put it in download mode, I see the firmware update screen but my computer won't recognize my phone via pc suite. Recovery mode won't even start. Tried to turn it off and just plug it into my wall charger: the empty battery icon with the loading symbol pops up and everything seems to be stuck, even if I unplug it the icon would still be there. I tried with two different batteries getting the same result
Totally clueless about what to do now (the phone is still under warranty by the way).
Ok, so recently i got a replacement for my broken s4 i9505 a samsung galaxy i9195 s4 mini so as soon as i laid my hands on it i instantly went to install the cyanogen mod for the android 6.0 i was constantly updating the phone via the cm updater on the phone. So last night i turned off my phone went to sleep woke up next morning turned on my phone it vibrated and everything i went to eat something and left my phone in the room i came back tried to unlock the phone and found out that it turned itself off randomly so i tought that battery is at 0% so i turned it on again and connected it to the usb to charge it up watched youtube on my pc for about 10 minutes eyed my phone and saw that it was stuck on the first samsung logo the one before the recovery that first pops up when you start the phone so my mind went kinda "wtf" so i unplugged the usb took the cover off and took my battery out placed it back in and tried to start my phone and it doesn't start or charge i tried power + home + volume up that doesn't work so i tried to connect it to pc again and it shows up as qualcomm HS-usb QDLoader (9008) (http://prntscr.com/dcoono) so im thinking that something went wrong or the phone forced to update itself but i don't think so cm updater does it automaticly i've always doing it manualy. The phone bricked itself?
Help?

Whenever my s4 mini drains completely I will get ZERO response from it until its connected to a high amp charger for a while or i charge the battery on an external charger first. This really had me scared a bunch of times as well, hopefully that is your case. If you know the battery is charged id start by going into download mode (volume down) and starting over with a new recovery.

I tried the battery on the s4 i9505 its 50% charged.
Tried QFIL but always returns an error for me saying that the sahara failed...
I can't even start it up..
I have an idol 4s and last night before bed, around 11:30pm, it decided it was a good time to windows update. I looked over and I saw the reboot and the gear icon, so although I knew I had about 50% battery I plugged it in and continued to read my book while waiting for it to finish.... except after the progress bar got to the end my phone never turned back on.
Despite several attempts at holding the power button to get it to come on, or plugging and unpluggin the power , all I get is the White Alcatel Idol4S boot screen, followed by the pink TMobile Logo.
Then, coincidentally as I'm writing this I plug it in again (coincidentally into my pc at work if that makes any difference) and it finally gets passed the windows logo and it shows the message at the top something about finishing up or whatever.
But as I recall, this happened on the last update, whenever that was too. Any idea what the heck is going on? Has this happened to anyone else?

I cannot tell much from what you are describing, but my best advice is to let it do what it needs to do and finish.
Just plug it in and leave it alone. Possibly you interrupted the update/upgrade process, but who knows? Unless it hangs there for hours and hours I try to never touch my windows phones to force a soft reset unless I absolutely have to.
Yeah, so it happened again last night. Just as I was going to bed, I saw the black and white screen with the gears rotating, so I just plugged the phone into power and went to bed... but making sure to turn on my other device so I'd atleast have an alarm to wake up to. 8 hours later nothing. If I plug in power or unplug power, I'll see the tmobile splash screen and then nothing else.
[edit] Not sure how relevant this is. But when I plug it in to power. The white led near the camera turns on as usual. But after a while it turns off, which leads me to believe that the device is literally turned off because as I recall, genreally speaking, it is not possible to plug in a windows phone device and not have it charge. What makes it interesting though is that even though the led is turned off, I still see the device in "This PC" when it is connected. I just can't browse the device storage of course. So as soon as I disconnect, it is not visible on my windows 10 pc until I plug it in again. I finally long pressed the power button, and unlike earlier when I would just remove and reconnect usb power, this time, the White Alcatel/windows 10 branding showed up, THEN the pink tmobile logo. And finally it booted up.
Mine's been doing the same since the start of the year... I have to keep rebooting till it finally "works" again... takes about 45-60mins of rebooting.
