Hi,
I just got a used Samsung Glide (I927R - Rogers Canada), rooted and running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462298 and it seemed to be working fine until I inserted my microSD card. I wanted to get my apps and stuff from my old captivate S1 but as soon as I stuck it in there, the screen started to get a bunch of grey horizontal lines! Couldn't turn it off so I took the battery out and when I put it back, NOTHING. Dead. Or so I thought. The USB did make a sound when I plugged it in, but only once or twice. Not consistently.
I tried all the usual things to get it into download mode: volume up and power button with battery/no battery, plugged into the wall, plugged into the computer. Also tried to see if Odin would recognize it, and it using those methods, and it didn't. Oddly though, later on I walked by and saw that the rogers screen had come on. Same grey lines, a few at first and then more and more. Then, it went dead again. I'm currently staring at the brick now, unable to figure out whether it's hard bricked or soft bricked. Has this happened to anyone else, and is there a fix perhaps? I'd be so grateful.
If you're running a custom ROM you [most likely] have CWM on there. Try volume down + power and see if you get into that. If you get there, you can install a new ROM. I'd try a format/fresh install first. I'd also make a backup of the SD on a computer, format the SD, then put your stuff back on it and put it back into the phone. Only copy what you want, let any extra/garbage stuff go away (as long as you have a full backup).
I've only had my phone freak out once on me thats similar to the grey lines you mentioned. But mine were yellow. No idea what caused it, it was seemingly random.
Try the volume + down thing and let us know if you at least get to the CWM screen.
Was the phone turned on when you inserted the MicroSD? You may have inadvertently shorted pins to the spring mechanism.
X2 on bobbin's solution, you may be flying blind here, unfortunately. Last resort would be no MicroSD, no SIM, plug USB to computer, insert battery, hold both volume buttons and power button, see if ODIN recognizes. **** goes wonky when you try to hot-swap components and short them.
Good Luck! If you can't get it to work, let me know, I'd be willing to try my best with it and maybe give you a diagnosis.

Are you not allowed or should not switch the SDCARD out while the phone is running? What about the SIM? Just curious for future knowledge.

Thank you. Yes, I believe the phone was running when I put the MicroSD in. I've done that a few times in the past with my other captivate and never had a problem. If I've fried things, can they be fixed? Unfortunately, I bought this phone used with the assumption that I could transfer the warranty. I have since discovered that is false and I am now the owner of a very expensive paperweight (if I can't fix it or find someone to help me).
Thanks again. I would LOVE a diagnosis. Would you PM me with details? I'm in Toronto.
I eject and load my sd card all the time with the phone on...

PM on its way. No guarantee I can do anything but diagnose If it's the main circuit board, it quickly gets more expensive to fix than replace.

It's not a problem with hot-swapping, it's if something gets caught up, low voltage short/ground-outs can wreak havoc on sensitive electronics. It's like wiring electrical outlets with the power on - It's not against the rules, it can be done safely, but one wire out of position grounding load will flip a circuit breaker/pop a fuse.

Hi all,
I desperate need help. After an unsuccessful radio flash, my Desire won't even turn on. No response from any buttons or lights. Here's how it happened:
I'm relatively new to Android. I recently bought a Desire, to replace my Touch HD, which has seen about 25 different WM ROMs, over it's life.
I successfully rooted my Desire and had tried a few ROMs. I was sitting on the MoDaCo Custom ROM r17, which was all customised and running perfectly. I'd even used ADB to successfully update my wifi config to connect to my company LEAP-authenticated network.
I decided to flash the latest radio (32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2), from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
I entered Recovery using 'Fake-Flash';
I started flashing the radio image;
All the good messages were scrolling down the screen;
I kept one eye on the phone while I worked on my laptop;
I saw a message saying something to the effect of "Finished installing radio..." (sorry, I don't remember the exact wording);
The blue recovery menu had returned, with 'reboot device' as the default selection;
As I clicked the trackball, I saw another message appear under the 'finished' messages, which said "Writing rad " I guess it didn't have time to print the whole message, when I selected reboot.
The screen went blank then a graphic appeared in the middle (where the recovery exclamation mark and triangle usually appear), of a software box with a curved yellow arrow over it and the android icon peeking out from behind it. I left it for a while (already had that sinking feeling) then pressed the power button. It switched off and stayed there.
Since then, nothing that I've tried has received any response. Various combination's of button pushes, USB connection, removed SIM, SD and battery...nothing, not even an LED.
I've searched and haven't been able to find any solutions to this particular situation. Can anyone help, or am I totally bricked?
Regards, PF.
The radio update does 2 reboots to install it. The software box with yellow arrow is the default graphic used by the fake flash recovery as far as I know so that wasn't any real problem.
I know this might sound silly, but is the battery charged?

No question is silly under this circumstance!
Yes. I'd just taken it off overnight charge. 100%. If I plug the USB cable in now, there is no response from the LED.
Leave the charger plugged into it for about 5 minutes and see if there is any response to it. With the usb bricks it would take nearly 5 mins to register and the led to light up.
I know this isn't a usb brick, but I've not seen anyone with a failed radio flash that has caused the phone to totally die to the extent that it won't even switch on.
I take it you have tried the usual power and volume button combos etc?
I suppose if there is no quick fix for this, the fact that it's totally dead may go in your favour if you try to get it repaired/replaced under warranty

ok. The charger has been plugged in for 35 minutes and still no response.
Also don't want to sound patronizing, but have you taken the battery out and turned on with the back button helld?
Ignore me, just reread your original post.
the procedure u said sounds rite, thats whats ment to happen, when you flash a radio, only other thing that comes to mind is, sure the radio u flashed was for the gsm desire?
so what youre saying is that your phone simply doesnt turn on, not for a second?
if you press the power button NOTHING happens?
are you sure your charger isnt broken?
have you tried charging it through your pc?
have you seen if its recognised through adb devices on your computer?
have you tried a new battery?
if your phone is simply dead, it must be a hardware problem, in which case you can probably send it off for repair and not have your warranty void as the whole phone will need to be replaced. they cant identify if you have voided your warranty if your device doesnt turn on.

Right first time. It won't turn on at all. It doesn't react in any way to any of the button combinations I'm aware of from rooting and flashing it. Nothing happens at all.
I live in an HTC household, so I've tried a number of chargers and cables, including the PC's USB port. I haven't tried another battery...but the incumbent battery was holdng a good charge and was 100% at the time. What's more, I remember that the phone can run on the charger without the battery.
Not surprisingly, adb devices shows no connected devices.
I think everyone is right, it's back to HTC. I *hope* you're right that they cover it under warranty. I'm going on the weekend, so I'll let you all know the result.
Thanks to all for your help.
I think you can try to remove battery, leave the phone with no battery for 30 minutes and then try to insert battery and connect to usb without power it on to check if LED (and than the phone) is revived.
I had an Acer Liquid that gave me same problem, pratically when a flash on the radio go wrong, the device go in "protection mode". You must also check on the net if there is a protection mode on Desire too, and if there is a button combination to unlock it. I repeat: i just giving an idea becouse the same problem happened for me on an Acer Liquid, so i'm not sure if it's the same for the Desire.
Good Luck
Maybe a usb brick? No usb is no charging. So when you didn't had a full battery, it may be went wrong on that.
Try another battery, if you can get to one.

In the usb brick situation you can still charge. This isn't it!

Ok i didn't know that.
If the phone doesn't turn on at all, you can maybe try sending it back to the shop for replacement. Chances are, they won't be able to know what happened, so you can pretend it just stopped working.
If it gets back to HTC, they probably won't bother to figure out what's wrong with the phone and just give you a replacement. Otherwise, they'll just send you the phone back and you won't have lost much (maybe postage costs?).

Thanks for the suggestion. I left the battery out overnight. Then tried to activate it (all the usual button combos) with:
Battery out, USB cable plugged in;
Battery in, USB unplugged;
Battery in, USB in.
I scoured the 'net for anything on protection mode for the Desire...no luck. If there is one, it hasn't been posted yet.
I would just act stupid and try to return it under warranty!
I think it should be ok to RMA this, if its completely bricked there is no way of them knowing that you tried a different radio.

Yes, if it's totally bricked then just send it back to HTC and they will change it with no problems just same as acer done with my Liquid
All's well that ends well
Good news...
The HTC service centre were kind enough to replace my 'faulty' handset.
Re-flashed with r19 and radio updated (patiently) successfully.
Thanks all for your support.
Nice one. Glad it worked out for you
Hey not really a noob, been flashing rooms since I had my vibrant. Flashing this morning ran into an issue. Was using Odin, said passed, disconnected my phone and its been completely unresponsive since. No charge no recovery, no download. I just think I'm doing something wrong, anyone have precise steps to check to see if it will enter download mode from this state so I can flash back to stock at least?
Feel free to move or link to a thread with the answer.
try removing your battery sim card and micro sd card for 5 min then then plug the wire back to phone while holding both volume buttons then put all your sim sd and battery back (OR JUST YOUR BATTERY IS FINE)and see if it reads it now ?
So the wire should be plugged in the wall or computer?
Still nothing. Just hoping I don't have to get rid of it
The wire should be plugged into the computer assuming you have all the Odin files you need to flash it back
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it didn't work. Still unresponsive, a jig should work no? I just need to get into download mode, flashing back is the easy part
yes a jig will most certainly work get one on here this is the one i have http://www.amazon.com/SainSonic-Don...id=1365710755&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+usb+jig works like a charm takes 2/3 days and your good to go hit the thanks if i helped
If the phone is completely dead after unplugging in the middle of odin then the phone will most likely not boot up even after using a jig...the reason i say this is because the same thing happened to me and i tried the jig but nothing your best bet might be to claim the warranty if you still have it (usually lasts for 1 year or more if you have their plan) and act stupid when you go to tmobile...
I bought my Mom a used Inc2 on eBay. Rooted/S-OFF running SlimRom 4.2.2 on Page Plus.
My Mom messages me on Facebook to tell me she thinks the phone is broken. I have to agree. I don't know what she did, but she seems to think she had somehow got the phone into fastboot/bootloader/recovery and was trying to pull the battery to get it back to normal. She thinks she selected something before the battery pull, but doesn't know what.
Phone won't turn on (no splash screen, no boot animation, no nothing).
No LED when phone is plugged in.
Tried several charging cables.
Tried switching with a battery known to work and be charged.
Nothing.
Anyone else ever have a similar issue? Is there any way to repair this (taking apart phone and replacing parts)? Or should I just buy her a new phone?
Pull the battery completely..wait a sec with your finger on the power to completely discharge it ...pop battery back in volumedown +power to get into recovery check to see if she formated anything fix w.e profit perhaps ?

Battery is my guess
My guess was the battery too. Your mom may not have put it back in correctly (My mom sometimes can't see the little gold connectors without her glasses.) Make sure the connectors match up.
If that wasn't the problem, try using a (cell phone) universal battery charger.
(Amazon.com has them for cheap, and they save your life if your usb port ever dies until you can replace the charging port.)
Once you know the battery is charged, and put in correctly, you can tell if it's the phone or not.
If she wiped the system cache, you won't boot. But, you can always try placing a new ROM on the SD card (easiest way is using a desktop computer with an SD card reader,) and re-install the phone's operating system (rom).
Even if the phone is somehow bricked: you can still get her data and pictures off the SD card with any SD card reader connected to a computer.

Thanks for the responses. But alas, it is not a simple matter of battery wrong way. My gf has the same phone and hers works. I tried switching batteries and the one from my Mom's phone works and has about 40% juice in it.
But her phone won't respond at all. When you plug in the USB charger, the LED should come on to signify that the phone is receiving power from the wall/computer/etc... There's nothing.
The phone doesn't turn on at all. I can't get into recovery because it won't power on at all.
She said the phone booted a couple times before I got it, but got stuck on the boot animation and never made it into the actual ROM. Now it won't come on at all. I guess the phone is bricked completely (by no fault of the software - I think this is some sort of hardward issue but I just don't know what)
I guess I'll activate her old phone. Thanks for trying to help.
(I really thought holding the power button without battery in might work because I had used that trick once before, but alas, nothing)
Maybe the power button is dirty try to clean it there's I tear down guide...you won't need to go far into it tho verrrry simple...voids warranty for sure

Warranty isn't an issue lol. I bought this thing refurbished on eBay.
Who knows maybe it dropped busting the led and power button...dinc forensics

I have same problem
I have same problem and when i got maintenance center they told me must change the IC flash for phone :crying:
Check the USB port
These phones came out so long ago I imagine original warranty is long gone. I that's the case, might as well open it up and check or fix the power button like chilly suggests.
There are little ribbon cables everywhere inside, for things like the USB port, screen digitizer...and if the phone was dropped, it could have squished the power button, and easily, jarred a ribbon loose. Checking them all out and inspecting the power button might be all you need to do for a fix. At the end of it all, even if nothing is solved, you can sell the phone for parts on ebay and make at least $45.
I thought about doing that once, but I'm glad I inspected mine before I hit the "sell button." I watched some tear-down videos on youtube and decided to give it a go. Now I'm much more comfortable with tinkering with phones. It can be a nice learning experience.
It started when I once tried to plug in my phone in the dark, and I actually managed to cram the USB charger into the phone upside-down!
What this did was make the phone un-chargable, even though the usb cable would still fit in there just fine.
Same symptoms you are having: cord goes in, no light comes on. Yet, the cord charges other phones just fine.
On ebay you can buy new USB ports for about $6-9. I purchased one, found a how-to video on youtube, and repaired mine myself with just a cheap torc x screwdriver set that I purchased for $8.
Fix worked 100%. Don't give up just yet.
Hi there,
I apologize if there is already another thread for this kind of issue but I really have no idea where else to post this. I am a complete newbie when it comes to phones but would like to know if there is anyway to help me solve my problem:
My phone is a galaxy nexus with I believe 4.2.2 JB. I've always had problems with my phone randomly resetting/crashing and wasn't able to find any solution to this problem. However, today when I was out shoveling snow on my driveway, I realized my phone was a little wet as I forgot to zip up my pocket and so my phone reset (remained on the Google) screen and would not boot up (It happens quite frequently that I thought it was just like any other reset). So I was a little impatient and took out the battery. When I tried to turn the phone back on, the power button was completely unresponsive. I thought I'd give it a second, take out the battery and sim card and reboot it but to my surprise nothing happened. I ended up looking through the forums for some solution to my problem but I don't know where to begin and what to do.
I have tried the method of plugging in the USB cable into the phone (without battery) and putting it back in. The phone is still unresponsive and to add insult to injury when the phone is plugged in the USB cable to the PC, the PC does not recognize the phone and keeps beeping (the kind that lets you know its disconnected or just cannot read the device). Right now the phone is in a bag with rice just to make sure that the phone had not suffer any water damage, but even when it was in my pocket it wasn't extremely wet..
I believe it may be the device but am not sure what actions I can do on my behalf to solve the problem. Is my phone completely gone or is it still able to be saved? Would I need to bring it into a specalist to see if they can help me out or can I do this myself? Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read!
Cheers!
Edit:
Also just received an OMAP4440 while phone was plugged in... Does that mean my phone is done?
Any help?

The same consequences, came to my gnex, when I cleaned it, with too much liquid... Now the most unprotected parts from water of the phone are the usb port, of course, and the power and volume button. To solve, you have to open the phone (http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182) and clean the contacts of the power button, for the usb port, you have to replace all the part for a few $ on ebay... (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2c66d9064b)
Use at you own risk:
A friend of mine was kayaking and had his Samsung galaxy s3 dunked in the water for a while. it was totally wet and the screen wouldn't run on at all.
He baked t in the oven at 200 F for a couple of hours and things went back to nornal. he also stated that he has done that before and it worked every time.
Think of this as a last resort if you are unable to change the usb ribbon as stated above. Also make sure you google this solution extensively to get the right temp and the right amount.
Good luck.
Hello all,
I have an S3, T-Mobile (T999). Yesterday while I was using it, it turned off by itself and now refuses to turn on. I have tried two different batteries and all it does is vibrates when I take the battery out and put it back in. I cannot get into recovery.
It was rooted and I had the PacMan ROM on it. To make things worse, the mcro-USB port is not functioning so plugging in into the computer doesn't do anything (I was using Anker wall-charging batteries to charge the phone).
Is my phone bricked somehow? Any troubleshooting tips?
Does it do anything other than vibrate? Does it sound like it comes on but the screen is just dead? Do you see anything happen on the screen? Unfortunately, without a functioning usb jack, theres not a lot you can do. Cant even flash the stock firmware....Only other thing you can try that I can think of is to find another S3 and swap the motherboards to test on a known good device.

Thanks for the reply DocHoliday. Today, after charging my Anker battery, it vibrated as usual but then I saw the Galaxy logo appear on the screen, but then it went away and the phone died again, so the screen is functioning.
I wonder if it is a battery problem; however, I have tried two different Anker batteries. I might try to find a stock S3 battery and try again. Will keep this thread updated.

Does it try to turn on on its own when you put the battery in? If so it may be a power button issue. Either way, you might want to take it apart and make sure the button appears ok, and also check/reseat all ribbon connectors. Kinda doubtful its a battery issue, but I guess it is possible.
Did you try to go download mode or to the recovery (What ever u have)????...Just to know the reaction of the phone.If u can then is not hardware related

DocHoliday77,
I opened up the phone yesterday. The power button has no ribbon on it. It's connected to a simple surface mount push button. I tried pushing the button with the screw driver to rule out the actual button not making the proper contact, but it still wouldn't turn on. It still vibrates when I put in the Anker battery though.I think what I'll do today is test the voltage on the battery before putting it into the phone to make sure its not dead. Unfortunately, I could not find the stock battery that came with the phone.

I know the button has no cable attached, I meant for you to unplug and reseat all ribbon cables that are there. I think there are 3 or 4....maybe 5. There are disassembly vids you can reference though. As for the power button, it has been known to go bad. We've had it reported quite a few times around here in the past several months. Sometimes just jiggling it, or messing with it a little seems to help, otherwise itd have to be replaced. If you put the battery in, and the phone tries to power on without you pressing power, this is most likely the problem. From what you have said though, I doubt this is your issue. It could simply be memory going bad as well. I have seen a few reports of this. Unfortunately, short of replacing the motherboard, there is no fix for this.
Im, not saying that is the problem btw. Just a possibility.

I ordered a replacement button today. It would be another 'low-hanging fruit' possibility and it was only $3 for the button on eBay. I'll de-solder the old one off and solder the new one on. Will update this thread after doing so. It is a mechanical button, so I agree, it could have messed up some how.
hey even i have nokia x it doent on doesnt vibrate just like total dead what should i do batery is ok some problem while flashing it with me
Update Please

Hi. I have the exact same problem as you had, so I was wondering whether or not this worked?
