Hey Guys, I'm a complete newb my phone won't turn on - I've read other threads on XDA with no answer =(
I have a galaxy nexus (unmodified) it started to turn off every now and than just yesterday, today it totally shut off on me and when I turn it on it won't turn on, unless I plug it in remove the battery and than press the power button - however it won't boot up from the battery logo.
I can't boot into any recovery mode, either after I pop the battery in while plugged it goes to the lightening-battery symbol to a full battery symbol and does nothing (turns off?) I tried the steps to get into boot recovery mode with no luck (holding down volume and power at the same time after popping battery in for a few seconds)
Any help? I'd greatly appreciate any help! The phone is stock (unmodified), over a year old, tried to call service provider no help on their hand, I'm willing to get lo of the data on my phone and I'm a COMPLETE NEWB, but I am technical.
Help! :crying:

Hi there
I updated my phone to jellybean yesterday i am with tmobile uk , the phone worked fine after this everything seemed to install ok.
until a hour ago, i got a phone call answered it, then hung up, i put my phone in my pocket, next time i took it out the phone was locked on the boot page the white screen with htc logo on, i tried to power it off and the the 3 buttons on the bottom of phone started to flash white for 10 seconds then phone swithed off. the phone wont turn back on, it wont charge, tried usb to computer no lights nothing. the phone was fully charged when it switched off. my phones a standard one never touched bootloader etc
i spoke to htc they think its software problem, they say when i downloaded jellybean i used 3g not wifi (my fault) this could have caused the problem as there could of been a drop in signal they tell me.
the problem i have they want 210 pound to fix and they say its not under warranty as i have had the screen replaced, but not by htc voiding the warranty.
Can anyone here give me some advice or help to fix my phone please.
thanks

Can you enter the bootloader by holding the power button and the volume - button together, keep them pressed until it enters the bootloader.

Keep it that way please
ok so earlier today my s3 ran out of battery and shut off. I attempted to charge it, but noticed the red indicator light wasn't on. I tried to turn the device on, but all it did was vibrate and show the battery level logo with the circle in the middle as if its computing the battery level, then shuts back off. most of the time it will just vibrate and loop the samsung logo and then shut off again. sometimes it also shows that my battery is nearly fully charged after i left it on the charger while i was in class, but then shuts off. the farthest it has showed anything on start up was the at&t logo with the white background, then it shuts back off. i've tried to boot the phone connected to the charger and took the battery out, that didn't work. tried to take the battery out and leave it for 10 mins and put it back in, that didn't work. although it would vibrate everytime i put the battery in. i also tried to boot the phone in recovery mode. it would say recovery mode booting in blue letters, then it would go to the samsung and galaxy s3 logos, but then shut off again. also tried the download mode boot up, but i just saw the OS warning screen for a second, then it shut off.. i've ran out of ideas on what to do. hoping anyone could provide anymore advice for me. thanks in advance!
Hello everyone, thank you for your time.
TL;DR: Phone boots into download mode up until "Downloading...", recovery mode until "RECOVERY BOOTING," and can only boot right when I put the battery in. The battery is fully charged, and I can boot up until my home screen only once so far. Will a jig fix the issue, or should I try to get the phone replaced by TMobile warranty as I have before?
I have a Galaxy S3 from TMobile, and have been running CyanogenMod for about a year now. 2 days ago I flashed a nightly release, which I assume was unstable. Yesterday, my screen was on and then my phone turned off (low battery, but 99% sure it was a crash rather than a power off), and did not boot up again. After attempting to pull the battery out, charge for hours, turn on and plug in (in different combinations), the furthest I could get was a couple of seconds of the CyanogenMod Galaxy S3 logo initial boot screen (not the rotating splash screen).
I took my phone to TMobile today and was about to get it replaced until I realized I didn't mask the flashes.
The last time I was in an exact same situation with the same phone model, and my flash counter was still showing custom firmware, yet I did manage to get it replaced effortlessly, but I didn't want to risk what was a possible fluke again.
I get home, and here's my current situation.
The only way the phone boots up in any manner is when I take the battery out and the charger is not plugged in. Here are the scenarios I run into:
1. Boots into download mode, can press VOL + to get to the "Downloading..." screen, then shuts off 2 seconds after.
2. Boots into recovery mode, only up until "RECOVERY BOOTING", then shuts off.
3. Boot by pressing power button, plug charger in, shows grey battery icon.
3. Boots into download mode, can press VOL -, either shuts off, OR
3b) Only after tons of tries, it booted up all the way up until my actual home screen, then shut off.
I can't have the charger plugged in while booting (pc or wall), and I can only boot right after I put the battery in.
Are there any suggestions as to what I should do? I was thinking of buying a jig from Amazon, but I don't know if it is hard bricked or not. Should I just attempt to get it replaced under warranty once again, even though it shows the flash count?
Thank you very much!
FIX: STUCK POWER BUTTON PROBLEM
So, one thing I didn't check. Take the battery out of the phone, wait about a minute. If it buzzes as if its powering on, that means that your power button (either the actual button itself or the switch on the mainboard) is stuck.
Solution: Smack the power button with your battery until your battery has a (small) dent. If it doesn't work, smack it a couple more times. Took me 2 tries, second try, phone didn't buzz when I put battery in. I press the power button, works like new. Absolutely....ridiculous
3 days ago on my b-day I charge my phone only to power it on and have it immediately shut off on me. I plug it into charger and it was still fully charged so i turn on agian and it does the same thing it will just immediately turn off on me. Now its gotten to the point where when i try to power it on the word google pops up and it brightens after abotu 3 seconds then phone turns off and continue to charge. The phone battery indicates it is fully charged however it wont turn on. May i remind you my volume down button does not work so i can not Volume keys and Power button reboot. Plz help
I wonder if the hardware has broken somehow? If just the power button broke, this post says to remove the battery, plug phone into computer, then insert battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rnative-to-t1731128/post65166854#post65166854
If only the software has broken somehow, maybe you can flash a new ROM from the beginning using one of the nexus toolkit apps which automate everything for you.
hi guys,
sorry if i had to ask this i think i'm out of options that i'm aware of.
i have a tab s t705 which has been on stock firmware for the longest time(5.02, country PH) and a week ago it just died.
the tablet charges but does not turn on. i can get to odin and recovery modes but it does not boot to system. also it does not turn on when i unplug the charger.
what i've done so far:
. pressed the power button for more than 30seconds, unplugged - nothing
. pressed the power, home, and -vol buttons for about the same time, unplugged - nothing
. pressed the power button for the same amount of time, plugged - only charging icon with batt level, nothing else
. pressed the power, home, nd -vol buttons for a few seconds while plugged, gets into pdin mode but restarting it just goes back to charging icon
. pressed power, home, and +vol for a few seconds while plugged, gets into recovery mode and after trying factory wipe and wipe cache, still goes back to charging icon when rebooted
. followed a guide to remove the back cover and disconnected battery for more than five minutes and did the same steps - same results
. tried plugging in to computer where it was installed before - not detected, not even odin(3.05 - 3.11 versions) does not detect it
this tablet is absolutely out of warranty already and i sort of like this tablet. any chance i can still revive this, or were there some steps that i have missed?
seriously, thanks in advance for any help
If you have an DMM check the voltage of the battery it should be 4.35v fully charged battery, If the battery is faulty maybe that is what is stopping the tablet fully booting, maybe somebody else knows.

unfortunately i dot have acces to such tool but i really am hoping that this could be just a dead battery.
i'll see if replacing the batt would fix this and reply back for the results. thanks!
