Ok i got a wierd one, currently running Flinney Cm 10 test build 121, and today i went to play with phone and battery was dead so i plugged it in and came back a couple of hours later and attempted to turn on phone. It took a long time pressing the power button before it booted. I let it sit to finish loading startup processes, backlights shut off, couple minutes later i hit trackball to wake and nothing, I then proceeded to the power button, still nothing. Ive pulled battery and repeated with no luck. So i started to do some reading and found a thread stating to get into bootloader mode by holding trackball and pressing power, this worked, (only one time) so i decided to just reboot device which it did and i did not let it go to sleep this time. I proceeded over to settings/display/screen timeout and set it to 30 mins. I was kinda thinking that the rom that i am running has got some sort of screen of death or sleep of death so i started to download cm9 and set down phone. With in five minutes i looked down at phone and WTF it was off again.( yes i am sure it had battery life last i looked it was at 67%) Now i cant get it to turn on get into recovery mode,dowload mode, or bootloader. When i plug phone in i get the orange led blinking followed by a green led flashing. Ive tried adb NADA i type adb devices and the phone shows up serial is listed followed by the word "recovery", now when i plug in my other phone to adb it shows up but is stated as "device" not recovery. Anyone have any input. I have been searching for a while and found nothing to help. Are there any one click programs that i might have overlooked ( Heimdall Exe) Sorry for long read but i am stumped

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
So i've looked around and no one that i've seen has the same exact problem as i do. Here's my post in another forums about my problem.
Here's my story about my Galaxy s2 for T-mobile. My phone randomly turned off 2 days and whenever i tried to turn it on, it would restart and basically never get pass the blue loading bar screen. Second, i found out about this boot loop sequence and i was able to do a factory wipe.
After i factory wiped the data etc off the phone, i was able to use it until it ran out of battery, but then after i found out it ran out of battery, it wouldn't let me turn it back on, it wouldn't get pass the loading screen, once again. On the other hand, i am able to go to recovery mode or download mode, but the phone shuts off before i can even try and click on the options i want.
Today, i found out that if i kept pressing power button consecutively on the phone, I'd be able to go to my home screen and basically act as if nothing ever happened, it'd function as a new phone! I then had the nerves of turning off my phone just to make sure it finally works now, but my hopes were crushed and now the pressing the power trick does not even work anymore. It would probably work one out of 10-15 times, and in the end it'd still restart. I am using a gingerbread galaxy s2. My friend tried using the usb jib on my phone, and it worked but whenever he tried to plug in the usb, the phone would just restart. I am extremely frustrated with this, and if you can help, please do so because it's important that i fix this phone. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Hi there, thank you for the welcoming me to the forums. No, my phone is not rooted, it has always been gingerbread etc i never tried rooting because i never knew how:/ I believe this started when i was just browsing around facebook, so i'm not entirely sure what happened... Uhmm i tried going to download mode through the volume keys and power button when it's connected to usb to the i think it's odin3? and it'd be in the download mode but as soon as the computer says it's connected, the phone would just turn off again and bam, it's like nothing ever happened. My phone does charge when it's plugged in, but it doesn't show it's being charged but i remember my battery was dead last night and i charged it till today and now it's got power. ANd no i don't have a warranty:/ i really hope you can help me

Hi i know there are threads on this and ive read countless ones. i installed BlackZax'7 [The Next Level Begin] on my LT28AT running LT28H LT28h_6.2.B.0.211. everything was working fine after first reboot. call texts 4g lte everything was perfect i was extremely satisfied. then restarted once all my apps were downloaded and went to put cwm recover on it and boom i got bootloop.
Naturally i headed to the forums here on XDA to follow the tutorial to recover from bricked state. what happened was i got bootloop and held Power and Volume + to reset to go to download mode, felt 3 vibrations which from my understanding was a hard reset. i followed the tutorial which said to leave it plugged in until solid red light turns green. well when i plug it in i get the solid red light however no green led. every once and a while ill see the sony logo and starts to bootloop. held volume down to try to get to download mode but refuses to do soo........
after a while bootloop stops and goes to solid red led.....and repeats the same process after a while.
what do i do ive searched forums and some have said to take the battery out however unfortunately i dont own the right tool to get the plating off after the cover.
what should i do its my only phone.......
Any help or a way to fic would be life saving
Same problem here
Hello,
I have recently stumbled upon the same problem and am completely clueless of what to do.....did you find a solution for this without disassembly?
I think what makes sense is to let the phone sit for a couple of days till the battery drains out and to put on the charger then for a couple of days......
please do reply.
Thanks.

Yea I fixed it. What You have to do is let it die then have flashtool ready connect to pc to charge use a rubber band or hair tie to hold the volume down button pressed (You have to have pressed before the Sony logo appears the first time or you have to start over) if it works then you will come back to a fixed phone.
*you have to flash before first bootloop*
I used a hair tie to keep the volume down button pressed had flashtool waiting for download mode plugged into the pc to charge then after about 1-2 hours I saw my phone boot up. It takes time and patience but the rubber band trick worked like a charm

How long does it take to tie?....i left it sitting for about 30 hours i dont think the battery died completely because i tried flashing the tft with flashtool tying a piece of string on the volume down key,but it was boot looping again!
how long should i leave it for the battery to die....it took only 10 minutes for the mobile to charge after the 30 hrs period and it started boot looping without entring flash mode.....i even tried to flash a kernel through fastboot....no use...boot looping!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
You need to read the forum with more attention: it is all written up...
Start your flashtool and pick stock rom. Let the program unzip the files. When you get pop up to connect the phone, connect your fully disharged phone and leave it alone. It will start flashing automatically in about 15 min.
I have a Google Galaxy Nexus and was using it last night (8/11)--it was a bit slow, as it has been for a few weeks, so I shut it down and hope restarting may help. When I started it back up, it was stuck on the "Google" word for about an hour and then I suppose lost power. I was not near a computer to plug it in.
When I got home, I plugged it into my pc to charge, then read online to hold down Power + Up + Down, which I did. I got to the Recover console with the "start" and little Android guy and the white arrows. However, no matter what I press (power, up, down) nothing happens. I cannot get past this screen. Also, my pc was trying to find drivers for it and couldn't. What should I do? And is there a way to preserve anything on the phone? I have not modified the phone in any way (rooted or whatnot).
I think you cannot move between options because the bootloader is locked. Can't say 100% that's the cause of it though.
Thank you for replying. If that is the case, how do I fix that?
And after it ran out of power, I charged it again and tried starting it normally and it started. So I have no idea what is going on. However Im now afraid to restart it in fear it will be stuck on the logo again. It still runs a bit slow.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
1) If I have to load it into recovery again and no buttons work, how do I fix that?
2) Since it did start again, but runs slow, what could be going on? Any tests I can run?
Thanks!
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.
