Hello
I had my S not bootunlocked, but rooted for CWM.
I was charging in CWM backup, and after I came back the phone got bricked. The only thing I can see is the red led.
I tried - power button (+ volume up) : Nothing happens. No vibration. - flashtool : it says the device is disconnected.
I can see only the red led when I connect my phone to wall charger and computer. But nothing happens - no SONY logo.
What can I do? Please help....
It became alright after charging.

Press Power & Volume Up buttons for 15 seconds approx. until you feel 3 vibrations.

I tried it several times. It didn't work though I pressed more than 30 seconds.

I think that charging doesn't work while in CWM, so you probably had a battery drain. Leave the phone on wall charger(with original USB cable) for 20 minutes or more, and check the phone again. After you have charged it for 20 or more minutes, connect it in fastboot mode and flash CWM again, so you can flash a rom.

morning guys/gals,
last night i put my phone to charge, woke up this morning and turned on the screen and it said "no sim card detected, reboot device". Now when I rebooted the device all I get is 5 vibrates and the green led light stays on. Screen stays blank!!. I tried battery pull several times, tried vol-down + power but all I get is the vibration with the screen off and the led on.
When I hook my phone to the laptop I can't access it via fastboot/adb, it shows up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. I tried forcing different drivers on it (e.g. adb composite, bootloader) but none let me access the device via cmd.
Now I got clockwork, running latest android revolution 2.0.8, device is radio-soff and eng-soff.
What am I to do now? Is there possibly a hardware fault? If I cant get to access to the device to restore it to stock, I'm going to struggle to get the device replaced, isnt it?
any help is very much appreciated!!!
What ROM were you running on it Prior to this happening?
was there any apps running in the background?
the Vol - + Power should get you into bootloader, if you cant get into bootloader I would be tempted to say fooked, and take it back to the shop as they wont be able to boot it either,, but thats the defeatist attitude...

ok very strange, I was playing i around with the phone, now if I pull the battery and connect it to the usb cable the light went red instead of green and it automatically booted in clockworkmod (thanks to the "bug"). vol down + power didnt get me there so once I was in clockwork I thought let me wipe battery stats (eventho I wiped them when rom was freshly installed). I thought the device is unplugged but the green light stays on (after full charge), maybe battery issue. Now after wiping battery stats I'm able to boot the device again.
Thats weird but hey atleast my device is back on track. Either faulty battery or some software bug, either way if anyone experiences a similar issues (phone wont boot, just vibrates 5 times and green led), just pull battery, connect phone to usb cable on your laptop or wallcharge and clockwork should boot up, wipe battery stats and u should be fine
You gotta love that ClockWorkMod recovery image

I had the same issue yesterday. After one hour of stress(I have DHD for 4 days), I finally find out solution which worked for me:
1.) pull out the battery from phone for at least 10 minutes.
2.) connect phone to the charger.
3.) pull battery to the phone and wait
4.) after orange light recovery should boot up.
5.) wipe battery stat.
6.) enjoy your phone again.
Hope this will help to somebody .
May I know why such incident occured?

- Plugged in charger, pulled in battery, (orange light was turned), then after 25 sec I pressed the Power button - and Voila! My Phone started as normal.
I diden't need to do any "Wipe battery status", but after reading about it I did it anyway. It was'nt necessery though in my case.
THanks a lot you guys for your replys! I thought for sure my phone was dead.

Calm dowm man, i already did that **** once kkkkkk
Simple: Hold down the reset buton till your cellphone vibrate 3 times (That hide one beside your SD Card). That'll turn it off. So hold down your Volume ( - ) button and plug your USB, now you are in flash mode.
Open Flash Tools and flash a Stock ROM (Recommended) or Stock Kernel, That's it!

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I got exactly the same problem described by OP. But I simply can't get into the flashmode.
When I hold the volume (-) button and plug the cable at the phone, I got nothing more than the Windows USB sound and a red led of death on my ZL (C6503).
What I've already did:
1) Pressed the "Off" button beside the SD card slot a lot of times (holding it for a few seconds of course) before trying to get into the flashmode;
2) Tried SUS, PC Companion and Flashtool but couldn't get the flashmode or detected by any of them;
3) Keep it charging for more than 12 hours and all I got is this red led of Death!
Any help is welcome.
Cheers.
Edit:
Got the flashmode holding at the following way.
1) Pressed the "off" button beside the SD card slot for a few seconds and instead the 3 vibrations the red led blinked 3 times;
2) Hold the volume (-) button, connected the USB cable and keep holding for a lot of seconds, you will hear the Windows USB sound disconnecting and connecting a few times, wait until Flashtool recognize it and start flashing.

Try doing this.. Hold Volume Up and Power button until u get 3 vibrations after the 1st vibration.. Then put it to charge.. And if u r seeing a charging animation, let it charge fully.. And then try rebooting.. If it doesn't turn on, just flash stock ftf.. Hold volume down and connect the cable.. Don't let go of the volume down button until flashing starts..

I think you have to leave it charging for a while before you are able to turn it on again. Just give it some time

Try another charger/usb cable, just in case the one you're using is defective, or charge the phone connected to a computer

Hi,
I have/had the same problem. The problems started, with the phone powering down, at half the battery level. Then I got a spanish battery overheating message. After the message appears, the problem starts.
I solved the problem like this :
First you have to completely drain your battery. How to do that ?
- Go to the boot-menu (press power on button, and volume up at the same time). Select : Fastboot. The phone will halt. BUT, keep your phone in that state, so it consumes energy. After a while your phone will go out. After that : go again to your boot menu, but DON'T select any options. After a period of ± 5 minutes your phone will go out.
- THEN : remove your SD-Card, and SIM-Card.
- THEN : Connect your phone with the net-usb-charger. DON'T connect it to your PC.
- After 1 to 2 hours of chargeing, your down center button, should start glowing blue again.
I got my phone working again 2 times using this method.
I hope it works for you.
Phone Restored with this method! Thanks pal!
worked for my phone
thank you very much
I have TWRP and LineageOS with Magisk installed on my A50. Normally, when my phone boots, I get the following sequence:
1. Phone vibrates.
2. Samsung Logo appears for a very short time, with bootloader unlocked warning at the bottom.
3. A screen showing a bootloader unlock warning at the top and "PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE" appears.
4. After a while or if you press the power key, an additional unofficial software warning appears in red letters at the bottom.
5. After some time the phone continues to boot normally.
My problem is that after the latest reboot ("reboot into recovery" via power menu), it gets stuck at step 4 and won't continue to boot, neither recovery nor system, even if I wait for tens of minutes.
What I've tried:
-reboot with volume +/-/poweroff
-reboot with volume volume -/poweroff
-all of the following with and without USB connected to PC:
-power/volume +/- at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-power/volume + at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-power/volume - at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-volume + at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
-volume - at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
-volume +/- at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
None of these helped. I just get the normal sequence 1-4 and then stuck every damn time. Can't get into recovery or download mode. Can't even power off, obviously.
Is my phone gone for good?
same **** here. for me i cant charge the battery too. but before that with about the same problems i got it to work again for a few days.
now hangs on step 4

With some help I managed to get into download mode, and from there reflash stock rom with ODIN.
Basically, you need to reboot the phone with power/vol+/vol- and as soon as the screen goes black, you release power but keep pressing the volume buttons, and also immediately connect the USB cable with the PC. Timing is key.

bro, you helped me alot, i'm stucked at this screen maybe 2 hours I didnt know what to do.
Btw, I've it just in 1 time =))
I got a way easier Method which has saved me several times
Is something i came up myself
Il be as precise as i can be so everyone understands!
1.Plug the phone to the wall (Your charger to the outlet)
2. Hold Power And Volume - (Volume down) until the phone shows the second charging animation (Which is the one after the first image of the phone charging [A circle with the lightning icon in the middle], this second screen shows a charging animation and the percentage of the battery) This indicates that the phone is fully Turned Off
3. Unplug your phone and the charger off the wall and bring it to your computer
4. Plug your cable to your Computer then back on your phone Hold Volume + and Volume - (Volume up and Volume Down) and plug your phone to your computer WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS.
This little trick will put your phone in download mode so you can restore your device using Odin OR Flash Twrp with Odin and boot to right into Twrp (There is a way to do it without turning the phone on and having to go back to step 1, Follow this Tutorial to do it
(
)
I Hope this helps you all
And Happy Flashing!
