[Q] Anyway to bypass the "battery" startup - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

My E4GT does not turn on. The power button doesn't work at all and when I put my battery in it goes straight to the batter charging screen. It thinks it is always charging. The phone has a cracked lens so getting a 30$ refurb is out of the question and now I have no way to use it. I can access ODIN mode and Recovery though. Is there anyway to bypass the battery mode and make it boot up into the OS?

Reboot to recovery, disconnect charger, select reboot system while in recovery

Stock recovery uses the power button...

on my evo pulling the battery out, plugging in power cord, then inserting battery caused it to boot.

Feel bad for you dude, one guy thinks you have an Evo, the other claims he's happy but really isn't?
I think you need a new phone, or a repair to your power button.

rooted on darkside ucle beta 7 and it wont boot up or enter recovery. i take the battery out and put it in and the samsung logo shows up and then screen turns black and starts to vibrate
You might be hard bricked unfortunately :-/ someone posted here recently how to unsoftbrick yourself although i didnt read it. It might be your saving grace. Otherwise... See if odin can flash you back to stock. If that doesnt save you then pray that the T mobile gods have mercy on your soul...

Try going to T-Mobile. I'm sure the retail stores can't check if you're rooted if the phones doesn't boot. Maybe they'll exchange for refurbished.

What procedure are you using to get into download mode?
Odin will work you just have to get to download mode. Unless you really messed up something you should still be able to gert into download mode. The phone should not reboot once in download mode. Try pulling the battery then reinserting it but do not turn on the phone then plug the usb wire into the pc then hold both vol buttons and power and insert the usb right away hold until you see it enter download mode then follow the instuctions on the screen. You press vol up to continue into download mode or vol down to cancel and reboot.
Make sure its not completly dead. If it is then plug it up and dont touch it for about 10-15 minutes.. It will reboot and you should be fine

HTC One V CDMA

I recently rooted and unlocked my phone, and now my battery percentage or status will not update until i restart the phone. For example, it will say that my battery is at 97% the whole day until i restart and then it will say 40%. It will stay at 40 until i restart it again, and so on. Anything i can do?
I have already tried calibrating the battery, and factory resetting it. Any help?
Thanks guys!

just let your battery run dead dead, charge it WHILE IT'S OFF for the whole time your asleep, and don't charge your phone while it's at anything other than 10% or less also battery calibration app will only work when your device is de-charged and re-charged @100%

quickest way is to grab an app from the market to reboot into recovery, but for now just power down the phone (hold the power button until it switches off) then hold volume down and power you should get into HBOOT select recovery
and done

T-Mobile Galaxy S3 won't boot after Odin-HELP

So I just flashed the stock image through Odin (used the USB cable that came with the phone) and it boots past the boot animation(the T-Mobile 4g one) and then just hangs on "SAMSUNG" and it's still glowing and so is the notification LED but it won't boot, it just stays there. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this thing going? Is this a brick? I don't know what is wrong with it.
I believe It is hanging on the kernel (panic.... not you, the phone). Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache? (volume up + home button during hard reset)
Edit: Also what are you flashing from (i.e. CM, AOKP, TW custom ROM)?
if you were on a custom rom prior to reverting to stock, you need to do a wipe in recovery

It took mine a very long time to boot after odin stock flash. But i dont think your screwed since it still powers on. Can you still get into download mode? Try to flash it again and see what happens.
Go into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Then reboot, that should do the trick.

Take out battery, unplug from computer, press and hold volume keys, plug in cable and insert battery again.
See if it goes into download mode.

I ran into this exact same issue. I tried flashing kernal and everything after I did odin. What I had to do in order for my phone to boot was boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Keep in mind this was stock recovery so everything on your sd card will be gone after the wipe.

Yes, wish I could boot into recovery but it will not even boot into recovery. Not sure if is a soft brick cannot load a screen regardless
Volume down + home screen + power button doesn't work for download mode? If you're screen is still powering on and showing the battery charging icon and samsung logo you haven't bricked your phone. I know on previous phones I have had that even though it showed nothing but a black screen odin still picked the phone up and was able to flash it.

No, Volume down+home screen+power button only produces the Samsung or the Battery symbol for about a second, goes away and nothing else after that but a black screen, ODIN does not see the phone as it is not powered on, hope that makes sense
Factory reset worked perfectly. Too bad T-Mobile already shipped the replacement.

Oh, Sh*t, I think I just bricked my phone - same thing happened. It now won't even allow me to boot. I took the battery out, unplugged the USB. Plugged the USB in and then put the battery back in. The LED light comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes off and stays OFF. I've tried POWER+UP/DOWN volume and HOME...still no avail.
The computer does recognize [the phone] when I plug it in by making a thumping sound and then it makes a few thumping sounds and then that's it.

Did someone try doing something like down grading?
Your symptoms sound like someone tried to flash a froyo ruu on a device that had gingerbread on it which means your bootloader is possibly messed.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Is it S-Off? Did you flash a custom ROM? Did you wipe /system? What exactly did you do to get it into that state?

Flashing and bootloop

Hello!
I'm planning to upgrade from a LG G4 to this awesome phone (I hope this is a good desicion??!) and this would be my first HTC phone then after some Samsung and LG devices.
So I have a question: When I'm flashing something on my LG G4, something goes wrong and a bootloop appears, then I can simply remove the battery, put it in again, boot to recovery, flash again and all is fine.
But what could I do if something like this appeared on the 10 due to non-removeable battery?
Thanks in advance!
Holding down the power button and the volume down button allows you to reboot the phone. I've had several HTC phones that work this way, and I've never had an issue with being able to reboot the phone this way.

I've been in this situation already. Holding power+vol-dn for a long time will cause the keys to blink and then it will reboot.
Putting the RUU's zip on the external SD card will give you the option to factory flash it to out-of-the-box state on power-up. This is a wonderful thing.
I was in a bootloop once for a custom ROM gone sour and again when running the RUU.exe BSODded due to memory failure on the PC (talk about bad timing...heh...no pun intended), leaving the phone in a coma.
The US Unlocked/Dev version has the RUUs available on htc's site.

Power + vol up with M8 to force a reboot. I've found power + vol up and down works with the 10.
