[Q] Phone won't turn on! Vibrates and Green LED only

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

Hi
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?

Thanks for your reply! this worked for me, allmost.
I did however had to press the Power button ONCE to start the phone.
- 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.

try sptool to format your phone except the boot loader then try to flash the phone, if its not working then change the mother board !!!!!

[Q] [Help] Defay dead - what could be the reason and how to rescue?

I've owned the DEFY for over two months, it is rooted but not flashed. Installed many apps and it had been working fine.
Today it suddenly go black when charging. Then, when pressing the power button, nothing happened. At first, when it was plugged into the PC USB port, the white LED was on. But later on, even the LED was always off.
Connected to PC via the USB cable, take the battery off and put it on again, the USB connecting and disconnecting sound was played on the PC. The Windows XP hardware manager briefly showed "Motorola USB device" and then it disappeared.
The screen is always black. Nothing seems to happen when pressing the power button, power+volume up, or power+volume down.
Please help!

I borrowed another DEFY and charged the battery to 100%. The problem persisted. The battery is good, for it can be used with the other DEFY.

Did you overclock your Defy? If yes, this might be your answer!

No. It has never been over-clocked. Just normal usage all the time.

If it can't even get to the recovery (hold volumn down) or bootloader (hold volumn up) screens, there's probably nothing can be done other than sending back for repair.

DEFY won't start after Flashing Chinese Froyo ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem: tried to flash Jboogie3 BlurlessGinger(2/16/2011).
Donwloaded the chinese rom from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895448
Flashed with RSD Lite: Result was "finished" and "PASS".
Pulled out the USB-Cable, LED light went off, but nothing happend.
Tried to reboot but no reaction from my DEFY. Even after pulling out the battery.
No Recovery Boot and no Bootloader Mode. :-(
Can anyone help please.
Thanky you in advance,
hartmuna

Hey guys,
luckily RSD was still able to connect to my DEFY even though it seemed dead. I reflashed the PL Froyo rom and it booted up smoothly. So be aware of the chinese rom!

IS MY DHD DEAD? PLEASE HELP!
PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYWAY YOU CAN HELP ME, I WILL BE GRATEFUL.
Thanks for your time.

If it really does not do anything when you pull the battery out, put it back in and connect your charger, things don't look so good. I think that your CPU did not like overclocking very much.. Try the charger trick, and if it fails try holding vol- and holding power button.

try connecting the charger and see if cwm doesnt start up, from there you could connect it to your computer and mount the sd card and transfer a different rom to it

I hope you´ve done a nandroid backup. try to connect to charger, wait a bit and try to go into CWM.
then you should be able to flash your backup or even another rom.
If its working again you should be very careful with those overclocking thingy mate

Maybe you overheated your cpu, try remove the battery and let it cool down about 1-2 hours.

[Q] GALAXY S2 - So weird [NEED HELP]

SHORT INTRO: My GF's phone, I am from PH [not living in Manila] so no reliable technicians, but my Gf brought it to one, the technician flashed it but I think it was fake or something becase it says Android 4.0, but exactly looks like Android 2.3, AND the phone keeps searching for network even if sim card is inserted. so I checked it myself.
I am frustrated and spent hours trying to fix this phone. AND I DONT GET IT!! WHY??
1.) I thought usb port is broken, but it was fine, i left the phone with charger connected for how many minutes, then it went on showing the battery charging animation.
2.) so i tried to boot, I SPENT HOW MANY MINUTES and TIMES PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON and it won't boot, I SMASHED THE POWER BUTTON [not hard tho], DISASSEMBLED AND CHECKED THE BUTTON, THEN TRIED AGAIN, THE SAME THING, but then IT WENT ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THEN I TURNED IT OFF[to prepare for installation of stock rom], THEN IT WONT BOOT, SOMETIMES WILL BOOT AFTER HOW MANY SECONDS OR MINUTES BUT WTF IS THIS. <<sorry :crying:
3.) i tried RECOVERY[stock] AND DOWNLOAD, it went into recovery mode ONCE, i tried wiping it all, "reboot system now" AND IT DIDN'T BOOT, IT WENT OFF, SO I AM BACK AGAIN TO NUMBER 2 PROBLEM. THEN IT WENT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, but ODIN won't detect, I downloaded samsung usb drivers, the cable is from samsung, accessed the device manager[windows 10] and no device.
WHAT I TRIED/SEARCHED[NO LUCK THUGH]:
1.) turning it on without the use of power button [usb cable to computer, pressing volume up & down]
2.) turning it on with charger then removing battery quickly and reinserting it.
3.) i think everything, i've been searching all over the internet and here, no solution.
PLEASE! I need help. We've been planning to buy Galaxy S5 but we don't want this phone go into waste. This phone is over a year old. Is it because of the ROM? I really tried to boot into recovery but I don't understand problem number 2. PLEASE HELP! I'M DESPERATE :crying:
