[Q] Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) Won't Turn On - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I am in need of some help. I recently bought a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) and haven't had a chance to get service on it until what would've been today. This is the reason why I can't:
last night I had it connected to my PC doing some data transfers and things, until my PC said it was disconnected. I wasn't all too worried about it because I was done and was actually ready to unplug it. Before I reached for the phone, it started to vibrate in a weird pattern. I grabbed it almost as soon as it had finished vibrating, and then to my realization it, it wouldn't turn on.
Here's what I've done since then:
1. I immediately tried to turn it on
2. I plugged it back up to my PC, no connection
3. I plugged it up to the ASUS AC Charger and let it charge to see if it would come on that way (Nothing, didn't start up, no LED Light, nada)
4. Left it charging overnight
5. Tried to turn it on this morning, nothing.
6. Waited a few hours after unplugging from AC charger and still nothing.
Please help me :crying: What should I do?

Long-press power button for 5 seconds and wait for 2x vibrations?
I imagine you did that, but I figured I'd ask how you're trying to turn it on.
Does it give any response at all? Holding the power button?

Recommend to test with a different USB cable or adapter.
Sincerely,

Same here, the thing was i charged it with an aukey backup batery.

This happen to a lot zenfone 2 users
Apparently i got the same issue, when i connect to PC to do some transfer files, the phone suddenly dead (because sudden disconnect (happens a lot with loose USB port), cant turn on and cant charge, hard restart (recovery) also not working. Other phone works fine when suddenly disconnected, this only happen to ASUS Zenfone 2. And btw the phone and cables i use is original from ASUS.
Please fix this issue ASUS, this is very serious problem, seriously the phone is dead by doing sudden disconnect. Im not a tech so i dont know what is really happening, is it software or hardware problem.

hi, i have the same problem here, it really wont turn on. how's your phone? were you able to do something about it? im really worried. Thanks a lot.

If you are unable to power up after long charge, ensured cable is firmly connected, tested with different USB cable/or adapter, then it may require sending in for warranty service. If you would like warranty assistance and are located in the USA or Canada, please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected]. For all other regions please see the following for warranty service - http://www.asus.com/support/
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

I also have the same issue.
Has someone been able to fix it? Is it a loose port, problem with the motherboard, or a problem with the battery itself?

I have the same issue... But my phone got wet before I had the issue. Has that happened to anyone else with the issue?

Here a Solution I discover

Hi guys, i had the same issue with my ASUS zenfone twice! The first time the repair center took a look at it, they saw a loose connection inside the unit, they just faastened it then it turned on. After 2 weeks, the same thing happened again, then i returned to the repair center. This time, they said that they found out that the battery software was corrupted (factory fault), they changed the battery software and they got the phone running again. It's been a week since I had my phone working and hopefully this issue will not happen again.

Guys!!! Try this, hold down power button until it reboot two or three times, to be exact until the reboot screen goes blue then let go the power button. yea, weirdly i did it that way and i got my phone working again

How much did it cost?

I had purchased 2 ZenFone 2, 1 for me and my wife on 5/11/2015.
Well my wife's Zen2 wouldn't turn on and it had a full charge 3 days ago.
I've tired a hard reset connected to a different usb cable and also charger, messed with it for 2 days and NADA it was DEAD......
She doesn't use the phone much maybe 1 gb of data for the month and under 100 mins and she hates to text..
But I did get the extended warranty from Newegg for $25 per phone and they will email you a gift card for the same price of what I paid for the phone.
As soon as the Tracking info hit UPS the gift card came in my email within 36 hours and I ordered her The ZenFone 2 Laser which should be here Tomorrow hopefully she will be happy with it.

Same problem here. I plugged my zenphone 2 on my pc to transfer files. It vibrate and turns off. Tried to replugged it to my pc but does not work. I also use different usb cable and adapter but still it wont open nor charge. Is there anyway my phone be restored? I've tried the hard reset but to no avail. Please help.

My asus zenfone 2 went completely dead a few days ago for some reason. The only sing i see is that after i plug it in, after about 10-20 seconds it will just vibrate once. But nothing else is happening. Doesnt respond to any power or volume button pressed.

[Q] Help!! a100 Blackscreen

i have a a100 with the latest flexreaper rom installed and im stuck with a pretty serious issue:
a couple of days ago the tab was acting real slow and sluggish and getting bad battery life didnt think nothing of it so i just rebooted a couple times and left it alone . all was good untill the battery hit 10% and i plugged it up using the factory ac adapter. the next day (maybe 6-7 hours later) i went to turn it on and nothing no vibrate no screen flash nothing; other than the power button turning blue as i pressed it and it would stay on for a couple hours but still no other response from the tablet.
im at my wits end on what could be wrong and now i got my wife with her foot on my neck till i get it fixed. can anyone help me?
ive tried to do a hard reset with the reset button tried to boot into recovery /bootloader no dice
(also my home button flashed a couple time i pressed the power button) dont know if its relevant but wanna get as much info out as possible
wondering if anyone can help me...

It may take awhile for someone to see this and form something to try, random bricking for no reason is rare, its almost always some error by the user. However have you attempted adb connection to it? Leave it powered off, connect to the PC you used to unlock the boot loader then power on. Does the PC make the USB connect sound? Does the Acer vibrate? Did the home key blink again?
It really sounds like your boot partition is wrecked which wouldn't normally happen outside of flashing. If boot loader is trash then it won't know what to do and just sit there. No recovery or anything else.

it made something like the connect sound but instead of the regular duh doom sound it did a dadadoom (kinda hard to describe the sound) but it was faster than ive ever heard the connect sound before which is weird. the tab didnt vibrate and it seems the home button blinks when the tab is dead and needs recharged

Yeah I know that sound it means USB connected but error for some reason. Its been shown if this thing dies all the way down it wont read the battery correctly and probably needs to be sent in. Before that I personally would unplug it open it up and remove the battery for awhile, maybe an hour then put it back and plug it in. But thats me, not the advice I'm giving. If you have warantee on it use that.
The batteries on a lot of devices and laptops etc have something of a fail safe, if the voltage drops below a certain point it trips to prevent cell damage, however it renders the battery useless.
I haven't searched out much past that if a reset is possible by us, but it seems the pack is trash after or needs sent in.
Since this is a sealed unit you void warranty opening it (well unlocking the boot loader did too) so you can't send it in for repairs without paying for it.
I hope someone can jump in and help figure this out, and prove me wrong.

Weird, This exact same thing happened to me. Used it in the morning and now after work it won't turn on. I had already tried disconnecting the battery, but hadn't thought to leave it disconnected for an hour. My tablet has been running the leaked ICS since it came out and The last factory reset it had was about a month ago. It was working fine up until this. The power button seems to be responding correctly, the issue is that after the LEDs light up, there is no vibration or display. I hope someone can help us with this issue.
EDIT:
It won't connect in ADB mode. It will only appear on my computer as an APX device and since there is no vibration I am unable to boot into fastboot. Any help or suggestions? All the threads I have found have involved booting into fastboot.
i am also having this problem. i set ti backup last night to save to box i turned it on this morning it.worked set it on the charger came back to a frozen screen. I turned it off now just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen

I have been using ICS the leaked one, and last night I was goint to check my email and it did not turn on, I though the battery died. I plugged to the charger and this morning I tried to turning it on but it failed. I did the reset pin but nothing. I connected to the computer and it was recognized as a APX device and installed a driver ACER Picasso USB recover but i cant access anything. I am a nob. Thanks

i am also having this problem. last night. just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen. :crying: Help!!!!!!
Has anyone tried holding the power button for a while? Laptops do this too, if someone felt ventures, try taking the battery out and hold the power button. No promises, might work.

same here
Having the exactly same issue, here...
I also tried to hit the hardware reset button and it does not help.
If the screen is blank while powered on its in failsafe mode, in other words is bricked, has to go to Acer.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
This just happened to me a few weeks ago as well. If you are still under warranty send it in to Acer, thats what I did. I just got an email saying they had fixed it and were sending it back for free!!
At the time I was on the 9/02 JB build. I wonder if this issue is caused by faulty hardware or if it is an issue that was made by rooting and unlocking it? I don't know enough about this stuff to answer that though, but it does make me think whether I should root/unlock it when I get it back or leave it stock.
Also thanks Pio_masaki for helping me a few weeks back wasn't sure if I was even going to send it in until you said they most likely won't be able to tell.
I highly doubt they even CARE when sending these in. They will void for physical damage most likely.

CM10.2 Galaxy S3 (i747) Soft bricked?

Hello Everyone,
I have a rogers Galaxy S3 I747M that I have been running with Cyanogenmod for 6 months. A few weeks ago I used the CM desktop loader to load CM10.2 on my phone and it was working fine. Yesterday my phone told me there was a CM update so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working but glitchy.
This morning my phone reset itself and now when I turn it on it just goes to the samsung screen and shuts off. I can't get into recovery or download mode.
Do I need a Jtag? Should I pay $100 to a local shop to do it.
Do I need to buy a USB jig? How do I use it if I buy one from ebay?
Thank you
Does the phone power up at all? Do you have access to a USB jig to try?

The phone powers up for only a second. I can't get into recovery. I can get to download screen but it shuts off in 2 seconds.
USB jig cannot keep in download mode either, phone shuts off.
I don't think it is a power button short because its not looping and my power button or USB ports have given me no issues. CM hasn;t give me issues either until today, after some random update yesterday. It kept telling me to download/update the software and I did. and it worked all night and then just restarted this morning and is not dead
Same issue
I'm facing the same issue too.
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I was running CM11 nightlies. It was working perfectly fine for all these days. Couple of days back it suddenly died. The phone hasn’t been switching on back since then. I tried putting it on full charge. Whenever I pull out the battery and reinsert, it vibrates, the LED comes on and the Samsung screen comes on for a second and then the phone turns off again. I cannot access the recovery or download modes through the key combinations. I also tried going into download mode using a Jig. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it. The Jig did work and the phone did go into download mode but, only for a second and then turns off. I’m not sure what exactly the issue is.
Can anyone help us with this issue?

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!
Phone is running fine, 30 minutes later it's dead. I pull the battery, put it back in, it vibrates, turns on, and turns off quickly.
Do this:
Pull out battery for 1 minute.
Put the battery in and DON'T touch it at all.
Does it vibrate? Then turn on by itself?
It should show Samsung Logo quickly, then the start of the CM boot menu.
If so, you've got a bad power button. I had the same issue. Only thing to do is replace the power button.
I got mine fixed here: http://brickedmyphone.com/
The guys name is Joe, and he probably will confirm the same thing I said. He will also trouble shoot it with you when you said him an email.
TL;DR: I doubt you're bricked, most probably bad power button.

[Q] ATT LG3 Won't Turn On Completely Unresponsive

I have an ATT LG G3 yesterday it the phone suddenly won't turn on. It was on with mostly full battery and now won't turn on and is competley unresponsive. When I plug it in, no charging light comes on. Additionally I tried the hard reset by holding down power and down volume key; this gave me nothing.
Thinking that it might be a battery problem, I left it plugged in all night. But still nothing.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and pulling the battery wasn't cutting it. This worked for me:
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone to the OEM LG Charger that came with the phone.
4. Let the phone charge for about 15 minutes then try to turn it on.
This worked for me but some phones are DOA being the phones are still in early production. It takes a few months before they work out all the Kinks.
I figured I'd add my two cents. I had the same issue with my D851 (T-Mobile) version. I was copying a file over my from computer and halfway through the phone shut off. I thought the screen timed out, but it wouldn't turn back on. I pulled the battery, tried holding the power button without the battery for 60 seconds, putting the battery back in, charging without the battery... nothing. The LED would never light, and the phone would never turn on. I contacted LG and it's currently on its way back to them for replacement.
I work for a wireless service provider and not only sell this phone but own one. I also had the problem and unfortunately the battery out power combo did not work for me either and swapping the battery was to no avail. I have seen one other DOA as well. I have noticed the new LG models have had some significant flaws and lemons when they've first come out but I feel the specs and price you get are worth the risk so if this does happen to you I wouldn't throw in the towel on LG quite yet. However the way LG reacts to this will speak volumes to the company's overall success in the industry.

what would happen if I tried returning my phone with root and another rom on it and it won't turn on?
I tried manually going to twrp but went to recovery instead, restarted phone and now it won't turn on. I've tried the suggestions in this thread to no avail.
Won't turn on
My LG G3 D855 first had this problem of restarting on its own when I play with its camera and while restarting, the phone is getting warmer. And now, it wont turn on. I press the power button while it is off, it tried to turn on until the LG logo screen and then it shuts down on its own and restarting non-stop until that LG logo screen and turning off again. When I plugged in a charger, it manages to turn on but only to the pass code part and then it turns off again and the battery charging screen when phone is turn off, is displayed. The battery showed was higher than the battery showed when during the pass code stage. Is it the battery problem? I haven't send the phone to be check yet, I hope its the battery..
Clearing phone
My won't turn on either. I filed an insurance claim and am getting a new one. But I have to send my old phone in. I was wondering how I can get all my info off of the old phone before I turn it in. I don't want some one to get my info that is on that phone. How do I clear it all with it not turning on. Is there a hard drive from the phone I can remove?

The plan: Put the phone into recovery and then push " power on".
The method: To get into recovery, push power and volume down together until you see "system recovery" ( it will take a while- maybe more than a minute) and touch "continue power up" by depressing the power key.

h! i have rooted my G3 and insatll TWRP it works .. but when i press volume down+power button it wont boot to recovery. ? i can easilt boot to recovery using ADB .. but how can i boot to recvery using power and voulme keys ..
http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root-tutorials/how-to-manually-boot-into-cwmtwrp-recovery-on-lg-g3/ Said better than I can. Be sure that you are firmly pressing both on the power and volume down keys, at the same time, don't give up- To be sure I have constant pressure, I take off the case. I do this each time I restart the phone.
Oh awesome. I was browsing the web having the same problem and this totally fixed it for me. Cheers!

[Q] battery drained, Desire EYE wont charge and/or turn ON

Well this is my situation:
I bought a broken screen and broken digitalizer HTC Desire EYE with AT&T stock rom 4.4.4 lolipop
While waiting for the screen + digitalizer replacement, i decided to try ADB commands to remotelly access the cell from the PC.
When first time i turned ON the cell, it worked ok, all sounds of android OS could be heard and worked ok, and even HTC Sync showd up and i could even access the internal and external memory of the phone.
Then i tried to boot into fastboot with low battery levels, i rebooted in fastboot and my PC detected the drivers for such...
then since i was on blind cause the screen was broken, i clicked on I was supposing was recover (i needed to enter on recovery so i could run an ADB commands to activate USB debugging from recovery, so i also later have access to remote screen of the phone from the PC)
So, i clicked on blind thinking i was on recovery and after that the phone didnt charge any longer the battery or turned ON.... i connected the phone to the wall charger and not even the RED LED light of the battery turns ON anymore.
I tried all the options: 1) volume +, power
2) volume +, volume -, power
3) volume -, power (for over 20 secs) and nothing, im like lost here?
I also tried plugging the USB to the PC and that doesnt even work, nor the PC do any sound when a new device is connected, so its like the phone is completely dead.... any help is more than welcome
come on, no one? damn, im blind while waiting for the freaking chinnese screen replacemente... since i cant do crap... i started a wall charger for 4 days, lets see if this turns on at least the red light, which by the moment it doesnt... will keep updating this thread regarding the status and situation in the couple of days.
i'm having the same problem right now with my HTC desire and i just bought it in July brand new from AT&T. I was wondering if it ever turned back on for you?

Was kind of in the same boat as you. Bought my EYE with a broken digitizer.. upon receiving it I found out that the phone wouldn't charge or turn on.. I had to replace the battery myself and now it works like a charm.!

Check for dust or other dirt in your charging port, then use a toothpick to get it out, this fixed it for me.
Bumping because I have a similar issue and don't want to make a new thread.
My screen is fine, but the LED is off, plugging it in does nothing, and it wont turn on. Worked fine last night, it was in low power mode (on CM 14), I shut it off and plugged it in. Now, the next day, it's dead.

Model G3223 - Charging Issues and Black Screen/Flashing White Light at Boot

Hey everyone,
So, I got a new Xperia XA1 Ultra (G3223) through a trade running stock Android 7.0. Checked everything and initially it looked fine.
Over the last few days, things have been acting weird. Every time I start the device, it gives me a blank (black) screen with a blinking white notification light - it doesn't even show me the boot screen at times when it boots. Just yesterday, I got it to boot by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER after being in that state - but, that's not normal. Does anyone know why in the world my phone does that?
Furthermore, when using the Sony charger that came with the device, it takes over 6 hours to charge and doesn't even show the charging sign while charging. Could this be an Android 7.0 bug or is something seriously wrong with my phone? Only one time since I got it, did I get it to charge normal with the charging sign and everything; it actually charged quite rapidly at that point.
Any help would be appreciated with this, guys, because I'm at a loss. I do want to mention that the device doesn't seem to be recognized by the computer, so I'm not even sure that the cable is original.

Try a new cable and/or charger. (I found I had a bad charger once)
Since you had computer issues, I'd start with the cable. Also check the charging port on the phone for debris/damage.

Okay, I'll do that - but, do you have any idea regarding the blank screen issue, my friend?

How is your phone turning on? Power button or inserting the USB cable?
Only thing I can think of is perhaps a stuck volume key placing the phone into recovery or flash mode.
Try turning on the phone with no USB cable attached. Before you turn it on, press the volume keys a few times to make sure they aren't stuck and then power on.

The thing is that it's weird.... For one, sometimes when I use the touch reset/turn off button, it takes at least two minutes to reset, or it doesn't even reset. Then, when I turn the phone on while it's off, the phone sometimes enters into this weird state with the flashing white notification light. I never power on the phone via USB cable, so I don't know, really. Yesterday, I shut the phone off to test it, plugged the phone in to charge it, it wouldn't charge while off, but then hit power on, and then it wouldn't turn on, so I used VOLUME UP + POWER, and then it turned on just fine.
Hi
Happened also to be with my older Xperia J.
Backup your phone (cause you'll lose your data), connect it to a PC (or Mac) and install Xperia companion, then select "repair phone" or something similar (I know the written in Italian version ).
Wait and it will be all fine.
