Galaxy Note 2 wont turn on - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was doing stuff on it while it was charging.
Left the room.
Come back to screen not showing anything but the orange (charging i think it is, one on the left of the speaker) diode on.
Press button to wake it up. (button doesn't work)
Take out battery, and put it back in.
No lights now, even when connected to charger, and wont turn on >_<
Halp!

Try to boot in recovery using - vol_up+home+power & do a factory reset from there.
Or, it won't help then,
Try to Boot in Download mode-
Vol_down+home+power.
If boots in download mode then, try to connect to pc using usb.
If able to connects pc then flash your existing stock rom from odin.
Good luck.
If all above things won't work...
Then maybe it's a SDS victim.

Bricked

Got a bootloop, figured to do a hard reset (volume up+power). Phone vibrated 3 times. Since then i have not been able to turn it on, and no led while being plugged in to PC, charger, no flash mode. It kept it plugged in a wall charger for 6 hours and still no red led. Help :crying:
- PC Companion cant recognize my phone
- tried volume up+power, connect to pc, then hold power+volume down
Note: Phone was not hot or warm during the bootloops
EDIT: Plugged phone into my computer 2 hours ago and finally a red led! Stupid wall charger -_-

Sucks not having a battery to pull don't it.
Step1: Don't plug to charger until your phone no screen no response
Step2: Plug it to charger for about 10min, it would be turned on automatically. Do hard reset(vibrate 4times) when it is turned on.
Step3: Open flashtool and select ftf, plug your phone to computer and press volume down simultaneously. Wait until the green led appear, It would be flashing.

If you can get into cwm I would think you can restore. Try it.

[Q] My phone freaked out on me?!

My phone froze, so naturally I held down the power button to get the restart option. Then it kept restarting over and over never making it past red eyeball looking screen. So I popped the battery out, waited a while and put it back in to turn back on. Nothing even if I try to charge it..nada, not eve the light on the front that lets you know its charging. Ive read about holding the volume down button + power to do a factory reset...nothing happens...Did I do something wrong or is phone fried?

I've tried to see if it would charge from the computer no luck either. Computer doesn't recognize a device

sprint galaxy s II will not turn on no more

Hello to all yesterday, I tried to hook up a speaker system to the audio port on my phone to listen to music, and the screen fizzed up and turned purple. None of the buttons will work so after trying everything I just took out the battery. but since then the phone will not turn on( even after charging) when I press the power on button, the indication light (which usually turns blue while starting). just blinks purple and does nothing, not even a vibration. My question is where do I go from here, is the phone bricked? if so is it possible to get my pics, which I believe is on the phones internal memory not the sd card. any help info. is well appreciated.
thanks in advance
See if you can get into download mode. Power off completely. Then hold power button + volume down, then volume up to confirm. If you can try an Odin one click full restore no data

its sounds like hardware failure. if it is, no you cannot get anything from the phone, you need a whole new device
TheAtheistOtaku is right. Bight the bullet and get it replaced.

G2 no boot, 7 vibrations + blinking red led

Have been researching this topic for a long time and I dont see any solutions other than sending it to the HTC.
Symptoms:
No boot at all (unable to get into recovery , boot menu etc)
When I try to turn the phone on (using power button) I get 7 vibrations and a blinking red led light(sometimes), nothing else. (the screen is dark, the only response from phone is those 7 vibrations and led)
If I try to boot it with power button and volume key , I get the response mentioned above.
If I plug the phone into the computer I dont get ANY response from the computer or from the phone. If I try to plug it into the charger I get 7 vibrations and constant led light.
Battery is good. Had this phone for 2+ years, no water damage, not rooted. Had been factory reset few months ago.
Basically I was walking, wanted to check my time, pulled out my phone from my pocket and it was turned off. Tried booting it and get the symptons above.
EDIT: after I try to boot the phone and experience those symptoms, the phone doesnt respond to anything.
The only way to get 7 vibrations back(excluding led - sometimes it stays on/blinks after vibratons) is to pull the battery out and try to boot it again.
Thanks.
Your stuck trying to get into download mode, possibly have some sticky keys, you can try and clean them up and see if it helps

What do you mean by sticky keys?
take out the battery, hold both volume keys and then plug in to computer and tell me what happens

I get loading cursor for few seconds but nothing more.
EDIT: Im not sure but the loading cursor might be my computer.
Over all I get nothing.
If I plug the phone with the battery into the computer I get 7 vibrations from the phone and an red led light. No reaction from the computer (no new drives found etc).
Sorry to say but I thin its dead, good thing is a new one is cheap nowadays. You could always get a broken one (bad screen and such) and just replace logic boards, probably on ebay for around $50

Do you know what could cause it and what does the vibration code means? Also what should it be doing when I hold down the volume keys and plug it into the computer (without battery)?
Thanks for your help.
sticky keys

This happened to me, I repaired it by cleaning the volume terminals and keyboards. My DZ died on me when I was doing field work and it is hot that day. I guess that some how sweats has sipped its way in the inside of the unit and when it evaporated left the salts causing the keys to short out.
