My kindle's usb port is broken so I am getting a new kindle sent by amazon. I was rooted but did a factory reset and since the usb port is broke, there is no way to charge it so I thought I'd let it get to 0% charge and then be good. But I cannot do this because the TWRP screen pops up saying battery low (at 2%) and then shuts off my device. It does this everytime I press the power button. Do you think amazon will ask for their replacement back? Is there anything I can do to get rid of this screen seeing as the usb port is broke?
Thanks so much for any help!
Good question. I'm about to find out the same thing. They said if I ended up getting charged then I would be contacted first. They'll probably just reflash the stock software after fixing the port.

Why wouldn't they check to see if they can void the warranty by seeing twrp etc?
is your port completely broken? or can you wiggle it a certain way to make it charge? if you can do that, you can remove TWRP

I don't know what you can do. Maybe if you press it enough times, you can drain it under the minimum to turn on?

Did amazon say how much the fee would be? You wouldn't have to pay the full price of the fire would you?
Thanks all!!!!!!!
After an hour and a half of pushing the power button over and over it finally won't turn on anymore. Thanks everyone for your posts I think it's good now! Appreciate all of your responses and will give thanks

So 99% of people want to see it turns on when pressing the power button, you, are on the other hand, would love to see black screen when pressing it. LOL
It's good when seeing nothing on. Warranty preserved.

But as soon as they fix the port issue, they'll discover that bootloader, twrp, the things they might be looking for to be able to void the warranty, NO???
Good question. Probably depends on how they track the units. Are they really going to look at serial numbers or just flash the factory image?

Hi,
I just bought a Pebble Blue S3 from craigslist without checking it out properly. (I know, shame on me). The phone is in physically mint condition, the water damage tab is not red and there are no signs of dropping.
The phone's screen does NOT turn on. When I hold the power button to have it load up normally, I can hear the T-mobile jingle and then a constant blue indicator would stay on the top left corner.
I have tried flashing it back to stock through download mode (Power, volume down, and home --> volume up mode) and it seems to make no difference to the screen's issue.
Flashing it back to stock might have made it worse because I can't even access the phone's internal memory through USB anymore.
Any help towards fixing my screen would be great!
Thanks.
So out of curiosity how much did you pay for a phone that you did not check to see if it turned on?

I paid $250 for it, came with original box and accessories. I thought it was too good to be true, and it seems that way. At worse I can probably break even and sell it as-is.
Is the battery low?

What does windows report it as in device manager?
If you can get to download mode it may not be hard bricked.
You could flash twrp recovery with idin, then boot recovery and try flashing something from thrre.
Also twrp has a builtin file manager so you can try to see if you can find sny problems that way. (Look for logfiles)
Are you sure its an SGH-T999?

I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark.
Positive it is a SGH-T999, before I flashed the stock PDA in ODIN, Windows Device manager would list that. How do I flash TWRP? Do I need the screen to do it?
Oh the battery is fully charged.

Here is the thread for TWRP. But you get to download mode by starting with the device completely powered off, then pressing the volume down, home and power button at the same time until it powers on. I dont understand what you meant by "I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark"
Button mashing I guess?
And just fyi, to boot recovery from power off
Hold volume up, home and power. When you see blue text flash on top of the screen release.
Also, flashing recovery in Odin will trip the flash counter. Prob doesn't matter considering the situation, but just so you know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you can get the phone in download mode, odin back to stock. Then boot into recovery using power +home + vol up and do a factory reset. This step is important. I borked my phone with a bad jb install and using odin on its own doesnt completely reset the phone. Using the factory reset fixed this in my situation

By saying I'm able to access recovery mode, I got in by basically doing the sequence of buttons, without seeing any display on the screen. I know it is in download mode because it reads on ODIN.
No matter what I click or what mode it is in, the screen is still completely off. Sorry for the confusion.

Well that's a different story lol. Seems like a hardware fault. If you feel comfortable, take it apart and check all connections. And use a very bright light to look for any cracks on the LCD (not the digitizer) but the underlying LCD.

I've had Samsung service my SGS1 that I bought off Kijiji while it was still within its one-year warranty. It doesn't just apply to the original owner, just call them and tell them it was a gift, they'll ask for the phone's IMEI, and then they'll be able to tell if it is still within its warranty period.

I just dissembled/reassembled my kindle fire hoping to see something obvious, but unfortunately I didn't see anything wrong.
Side note: It was so Scarry taking this thing apart. I had to be super careful not to touch the processor leads and such.
Where did you get the instructions to take it apart? How did that go?
I've barely used mine and the charging port flakes out sometimes... pretty sad.

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance. I have searched the forums, the web. Ended up here. I rooted my phone, added carbon rom. With goo download I think it was called. "Goo" something. Now my phone is dead. Will not boot to download mode. Will not turn on at all. The only time I can get anything response from the phone is when I pull the battery plug it in and hold the three buttons. The light stays red, but that is all. No activity from the screen. I have read the phone is "hard bricked" and that I basically need to buy a new phone. I hope that is not the case. Any help is much appreciated. Sorry if this is a repeat post, but after hours of research and no specific answers I felt this what the only way.
Thanks again!
My two suggestions...
1. Hold up (or was it down?) volume, home and power all at the same time. Until you get a reaction. Then figure it out from there
2. Your phone is done for.. Find out where the closest att service center is and say your phone screwed up during an update of theirs. Or just say your phone stopped working and hope for the best
A main question is, does your computer recognize your phone at all?

Thank you for the response. I tired 1 a hundred times and no luck. 2 is my next step tomorrow. BUT the weird thing, is if i pull the battery and plug it in the red charge light shows red. Also, having a PC the computer does the beep as if you plugged in something via USB. This i just recently discovered. Although i really dont think it matters. I also tried making a jig, no luck either. Most likely fail on my end with that.
At this point in time I think the best bet will be the ATT store. Unless someone has another solution, that is the only way I see it being fixed. Gotta read the details when you mess around with this stuff. Now I am paying the price.
Does Odin recognize it when you plug it in to the computer? Keep in mind you need the right drivers for it to recognize a working phone... And this is a longshot to day the least

I bought the phone on Craigslist, knowing the button was broken. The phone itself was on, and worked fine while on CM10.1 (When you lose power, if you plug in to USB it will turn on automatically). Well I wanted to go back to stock so I did via recovery, and then afterwards realized that on stock, you have to press power button to turn the phone on.
So, I ordered a replacement button circuit, which cost about $4 shipped. Came in to day, popped it on, and... still not working.
Like I said I know the phone works, and this part SHOULD work since I just ordered it... When I plug the phone in it goes to the battery charging screen (Battery should be just about full anyway) and the power button does not get it to boot.
Might want to double check that ribbon cable that you had to plug in. When you replaced it! That's the only possible problem I could see it could be. Sometimes we rush to do things not realizing, we actually made a mistake!

The ribbon cable is a snap-in type, and I double checked/un/replugged it twice...
The only thing it could be is the circuit on the board I guess, but the rest of the board is fine...

I don't suppose there is any other crazy way I can at least turn the phone on? Any way at all? That doesn't require power button? I know with CM 10.1 you just have to plug it in with battery out and it starts boot up automatically but such is not the case with stock Samsung.

I just figured... I could use a jig to kick it in to ODIN mode then just cancel ODIN mode and it would boot in to OS.
I guess if nothing else I can sell it on Craigslist as such - power button doesn't work, as-is..
Sorry. ...
Bad luck for sure. ..
But a new power button assembly should do the trick. .
They are of course different between models. ..and you may have been sold the wrong one ..
Likely a pin out connection problem. ..
Good luck to you. ..g

Try this: plug in the phone, hold power and volume up and down for anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes and see if that works. When I got my One it was completely dead, no charge light, nothing. I was all set to return it when I found this solution in a help discussion thread. Took mine about 2 and a half minutes but it turned on.

Did you do all three at the same time? That and the amount of time that you keep them pressed is the key here. Supposedly it resets the battery. No idea about the TWRP angle.

Yea i just tried both of em at the same time still nothing, ill keep trying though. And also im awake that rooting a phone voids the warranty but if im not able to even turn on the phone my provider most likely cannot either so do you think I could go get a new one if this problem persists??
If you're going to take it into a store, I'd think you're chances are pretty good that they'll give you a new one. Provided ,of course, that it's within whatever the return period is.

phone wont charge or turn on.
Hi,
I am having the same problem with my new HTC ONE. The phone ran out of battery so died, but wouldn't charge again - the charge light didnt come on, and so it won't turn on anymore. I didn't use twrp.
However I sent it to HTC Repair as they said it can be fixed under warranty and they sent it back to me in 10 days but it still didn't work. So I called up and they said send it to them again and now they said its a damage not under warranty. So they want £264 for repair! or £26 to return it. What should I do?
Is there any chance they'll fix it for free or shall I just pay £26 and try get it fixed elsewhere? I read online about how awful the customer service for the repair centre is but now its too late, they may have already purposely damaged my phone :'( I am so sad
