Hello, i bought an older desire, installed cyanogenmod 7 on it and all was running ok for ~4 days.
2 hours ago i left the phone on the table, battery was around 70%, when i came back screen was blank and i was unable to turn it on or restart it. I pulled out the battery and then inserted it back, after turning on the screen is blank and the phone permanently vibrates.
i have tried common key combinations mentioned on forums (vol - + power, back + power, vol - + power + home) with no change, the screen remains blank and the phone constantly vibrates.
i have tried to connect it to pc and to boot into recovery blindly, adb / fastboot doesnt list it after any of the key combinations, lsusb also doesnt list it, it only drains some power from usb.
I would like to know what happened, i would have understood if something like that had happened while i was flashing it / rebooting it after flashing, but it ran just fine for over 4 days. Now i have a nice usb powered vibrator :]
Would anyone care to help me with my issue? It doesnt seem to be covered anywhere on the forums. I am an android newbie but i can test probably any idea you may give me. Many thanks.
Very strange...
Try to remove the SD and the SIM to discard them as the problem.
Good luck
i have already tried that. and i have tried all combinations of sim / no sim, sd / no sd.
no effect.
i have got the same problem!!!
i've tried to root my desire following the instructions from internet, maybe i did something wrong. after i running bootloader from hdbootscreen it run in cmd window from pc the moment later it automatic shutdown the screen to black but the phone system was seem still work. ive tried to remove battery SIM SD card and reboot by combined button like instructions but nothing above screen, just stayed black screen, but my phone vibrated when i try to push power on
i hope anyone can helps us, ive just bought it 2day ago.
thank in advancej
Hey mate
I gave my old desire phone to my dad to use and I got that problem. According to him, he turned the phone off to charge and when he turned it on it just constantly vibrated.
Kinda puzzled me at first, I pulled the battery, sim and SD out but didn't fix it. Found my other genuine spare battery for it and put it in, I let it charged for a bit and turned it on.
Phone's now working with the other battery, I think I eliminated the problem but I'll have to hear back from my dad to see if he encounters the problem again.
Hope that helps you mate
Hello Everyone,
I have a rogers Galaxy S3 I747M that I have been running with Cyanogenmod for 6 months. A few weeks ago I used the CM desktop loader to load CM10.2 on my phone and it was working fine. Yesterday my phone told me there was a CM update so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working but glitchy.
This morning my phone reset itself and now when I turn it on it just goes to the samsung screen and shuts off. I can't get into recovery or download mode.
Do I need a Jtag? Should I pay $100 to a local shop to do it.
Do I need to buy a USB jig? How do I use it if I buy one from ebay?
Thank you
Does the phone power up at all? Do you have access to a USB jig to try?

The phone powers up for only a second. I can't get into recovery. I can get to download screen but it shuts off in 2 seconds.
USB jig cannot keep in download mode either, phone shuts off.
I don't think it is a power button short because its not looping and my power button or USB ports have given me no issues. CM hasn;t give me issues either until today, after some random update yesterday. It kept telling me to download/update the software and I did. and it worked all night and then just restarted this morning and is not dead
Same issue
I'm facing the same issue too.
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I was running CM11 nightlies. It was working perfectly fine for all these days. Couple of days back it suddenly died. The phone hasn’t been switching on back since then. I tried putting it on full charge. Whenever I pull out the battery and reinsert, it vibrates, the LED comes on and the Samsung screen comes on for a second and then the phone turns off again. I cannot access the recovery or download modes through the key combinations. I also tried going into download mode using a Jig. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it. The Jig did work and the phone did go into download mode but, only for a second and then turns off. I’m not sure what exactly the issue is.
Can anyone help us with this issue?

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!
Phone is running fine, 30 minutes later it's dead. I pull the battery, put it back in, it vibrates, turns on, and turns off quickly.
Do this:
Pull out battery for 1 minute.
Put the battery in and DON'T touch it at all.
Does it vibrate? Then turn on by itself?
It should show Samsung Logo quickly, then the start of the CM boot menu.
If so, you've got a bad power button. I had the same issue. Only thing to do is replace the power button.
I got mine fixed here: http://brickedmyphone.com/
The guys name is Joe, and he probably will confirm the same thing I said. He will also trouble shoot it with you when you said him an email.
TL;DR: I doubt you're bricked, most probably bad power button.

That is correct...( This is Joe ) sounds like a bad power switch
Hi.
I had a HOX which I wanted my daughter to use, which was running android Revolution custom ROM, but the battery was on the way out. So I purchased a new battery, dismantled the phone with no issues, changed out the battery and put it back together. I then gave it a full charge, till the charge light was green. But now the phone will not switch on at all. I have tried the usual button tricks, power + Vol Up & Down, Power + Vol Down to try and reset the battery status or boot it into recovery, but nothing works. I just get a Green double flashing light after about ten seconds, and this only goes on while you hold the power button down. The phone is recognised when you plug it onto the PC. I tried updating the drivers in the PC to see if this woudl help, as I read this as a suggestion as well, but nothing seems to be able to get it to start up again.
Took it apart again today, put the old battery back in, checked no cables had come out. All well but it still will not power up.
I am at a loss as to why this is the case. Spent the last week on and off online looking for a solution, but have found nothing that works.
I can't find anything about a double flashing green light when you try to power up the phone.
If anyone has any idea how to get it at least booting back into recovery that would be great!
TIA.
Well this is my situation:
I bought a broken screen and broken digitalizer HTC Desire EYE with AT&T stock rom 4.4.4 lolipop
While waiting for the screen + digitalizer replacement, i decided to try ADB commands to remotelly access the cell from the PC.
When first time i turned ON the cell, it worked ok, all sounds of android OS could be heard and worked ok, and even HTC Sync showd up and i could even access the internal and external memory of the phone.
Then i tried to boot into fastboot with low battery levels, i rebooted in fastboot and my PC detected the drivers for such...
then since i was on blind cause the screen was broken, i clicked on I was supposing was recover (i needed to enter on recovery so i could run an ADB commands to activate USB debugging from recovery, so i also later have access to remote screen of the phone from the PC)
So, i clicked on blind thinking i was on recovery and after that the phone didnt charge any longer the battery or turned ON.... i connected the phone to the wall charger and not even the RED LED light of the battery turns ON anymore.
I tried all the options: 1) volume +, power
2) volume +, volume -, power
3) volume -, power (for over 20 secs) and nothing, im like lost here?
I also tried plugging the USB to the PC and that doesnt even work, nor the PC do any sound when a new device is connected, so its like the phone is completely dead.... any help is more than welcome
come on, no one? damn, im blind while waiting for the freaking chinnese screen replacemente... since i cant do crap... i started a wall charger for 4 days, lets see if this turns on at least the red light, which by the moment it doesnt... will keep updating this thread regarding the status and situation in the couple of days.
i'm having the same problem right now with my HTC desire and i just bought it in July brand new from AT&T. I was wondering if it ever turned back on for you?

Was kind of in the same boat as you. Bought my EYE with a broken digitizer.. upon receiving it I found out that the phone wouldn't charge or turn on.. I had to replace the battery myself and now it works like a charm.!

Check for dust or other dirt in your charging port, then use a toothpick to get it out, this fixed it for me.
Bumping because I have a similar issue and don't want to make a new thread.
My screen is fine, but the LED is off, plugging it in does nothing, and it wont turn on. Worked fine last night, it was in low power mode (on CM 14), I shut it off and plugged it in. Now, the next day, it's dead.
Hello all, I am in need of some help. I recently bought a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) and haven't had a chance to get service on it until what would've been today. This is the reason why I can't:
last night I had it connected to my PC doing some data transfers and things, until my PC said it was disconnected. I wasn't all too worried about it because I was done and was actually ready to unplug it. Before I reached for the phone, it started to vibrate in a weird pattern. I grabbed it almost as soon as it had finished vibrating, and then to my realization it, it wouldn't turn on.
Here's what I've done since then:
1. I immediately tried to turn it on
2. I plugged it back up to my PC, no connection
3. I plugged it up to the ASUS AC Charger and let it charge to see if it would come on that way (Nothing, didn't start up, no LED Light, nada)
4. Left it charging overnight
5. Tried to turn it on this morning, nothing.
6. Waited a few hours after unplugging from AC charger and still nothing.
Please help me :crying: What should I do?
Long-press power button for 5 seconds and wait for 2x vibrations?
I imagine you did that, but I figured I'd ask how you're trying to turn it on.
Does it give any response at all? Holding the power button?
Recommend to test with a different USB cable or adapter.
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

Same here, the thing was i charged it with an aukey backup batery.

I also have the same issue.
Has someone been able to fix it? Is it a loose port, problem with the motherboard, or a problem with the battery itself?

Hi guys, i had the same issue with my ASUS zenfone twice! The first time the repair center took a look at it, they saw a loose connection inside the unit, they just faastened it then it turned on. After 2 weeks, the same thing happened again, then i returned to the repair center. This time, they said that they found out that the battery software was corrupted (factory fault), they changed the battery software and they got the phone running again. It's been a week since I had my phone working and hopefully this issue will not happen again.
Guys!!! Try this, hold down power button until it reboot two or three times, to be exact until the reboot screen goes blue then let go the power button. yea, weirdly i did it that way and i got my phone working again
How much did it cost?
I had purchased 2 ZenFone 2, 1 for me and my wife on 5/11/2015.
Well my wife's Zen2 wouldn't turn on and it had a full charge 3 days ago.
I've tired a hard reset connected to a different usb cable and also charger, messed with it for 2 days and NADA it was DEAD......
She doesn't use the phone much maybe 1 gb of data for the month and under 100 mins and she hates to text..
But I did get the extended warranty from Newegg for $25 per phone and they will email you a gift card for the same price of what I paid for the phone.
As soon as the Tracking info hit UPS the gift card came in my email within 36 hours and I ordered her The ZenFone 2 Laser which should be here Tomorrow hopefully she will be happy with it.
Same problem here. I plugged my zenphone 2 on my pc to transfer files. It vibrate and turns off. Tried to replugged it to my pc but does not work. I also use different usb cable and adapter but still it wont open nor charge. Is there anyway my phone be restored? I've tried the hard reset but to no avail. Please help.

My asus zenfone 2 went completely dead a few days ago for some reason. The only sing i see is that after i plug it in, after about 10-20 seconds it will just vibrate once. But nothing else is happening. Doesnt respond to any power or volume button pressed.
