Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.
Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?

Hi,
yesterday i got my sgs and first i wanted to update it to JM5.
Because 3 of my friends have the same phone i know what to do.
First i tried to get into download mode but it doesn´t work.
I found here in the forum (thread 749470) "Australia Optus Galaxy S no download mode!" that i´m not the only one with this problem.
Someone told me to use "adb reboot download" to enter download mode - and this worked fine. The working android appeared on the screen.
Odin now found the phone and i tried to flash but it always ended with "file analysis....". So I found help in this forum - restart pc, start odin as admin, use another firmware, try other usb port - nothing happened - last thing: remove the battery for 30sec and try again.
NOW: SGS alway shows the same pic: a phone + ! + PC - but PC can´t find phone, phone can´t be switched off - nothing!
What can I do now except taking the phone back to my dealer?
I appended a pic from my display.
Thanks for your help!

if you can not get into download mode, then there is no way to fix it
you'll have to send it back to the store, to have it repaired
hmm, you can press at least the power button for 7-10 seconds, then the phone reboots, mybe you are able to go into download or recovery mode, with those button combinations.
but isn't that icon his screen shows, meant to connect the phone to pc and start kies so kies can fix it? (at least i read sth like that on forum) but if this all doesn'T work i don't know
You can always switch the phone off, pull the battery out. ( Avoid doing so when flashing though. )

This guide is really not all that useful.
Take out the battery, and reboot by first pressing voldown+home and then power and wait until you see the yellow download screen.
I'd recommend not doing anything with a phone that you can't get into download mode from a cold start with. Too much can go wrong. Leave it on stock.
I remember seeing that screen when I thought I had bricked my phone, I think I managed to pull back by removing the battery and trying again.

that is only because your 3 button combination was working
in his case, his 3 buttons are not working
there is a batch of samsung phones that came from factory with the 3 button combo disabled
Having the same issue. Think the stores will replace it under warranty like this?
I have a Samsung W which is not rooted, with Stock Rom as i bought it. Everything was ok until yesterday. I put it in my pocket and the phone was Suddenly turned off. Since then the phone won't turn on except that the screen sometimes flashes when pushing numerous times the power button.
When i press the Vol+ + Center Button + Power Button to enter Recovery mode nothing happens.
I will charge it overnight to see if something changes tomorrow.
Need Help please!
Finally Turned it on, But Samsung Kies and ODIN seem not to working at all. Samsung Kies stacks at "Connectind" & ODIN detecs the phone successfully, but when the phone restarts it won't turn on, i have to remove battery and Open it in Download mode again.
Try to enter download mode press vol down + home+ power button if you can enter download mode flash it with odin

maybe the power button has the problem.
I disassembled the phone and the power button is working fine. I can't enter Dwonload Mode. the phone won't turn on at all :/
Since it is not flashed / rooted & with stock rom, just sent in to a service center, it's the safest thing to do right now i think.
After that you can do with it what you want
Hello! I cant sent it to a service center as it has a big mark on the top of it and they will ask me to pay in order to fix it. I finally Managed to Turn it on in DOWNLOAD MODE. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128 this thread with ODIN and Samsung KIES. Samsung KIES stacks at "Connecting". ODIN detects the phone, downloads data , but when the phone restarts is dead. I have to remove battery and turn it on in Downloading Mode

What 'big mark' making it cannot be sent back to Samsung lol? Maybe you should install CWM and do a full wipe first before you flashed the ROM with Odin (anyway sending it back to Samsung will still be the best solution as you may accidentally void the warranty when you are trying to fix it)
Well, i believe for ODIN to work first u have to kill Kies Process using the Task manager or you will get some conflict between the two.
Also, if your phone has a scratch on top of it, then your fine. However, if it has a big DENT or if it is broken somewhere, then they will probably assume it was a problem due to a fall or something. However you can always try and send it to the service center and they will probably sort it out or replace your phone as a last resort (even if it has a scratch on it xD).

What did you do to get your Galaxy W started?
Hey everyone,
My phone won't boot, go into recovery or go into download mode. I was on FrostyJB but was going to change to a 4.2 ROM, so I was going through my normal backup process. I set Titanium Backup to backup all apps and then left it for a while. When I came back later to pick up my phone I checked the lock screen for the time but did not unlock it. About 10 minutes after this I attempted to wake my phone, but it would not respond. I pulled the battery and attempted to reboot it. The soft keys lit up but the screen stayed black. When I try to put it into download mode it just vibrates occasionally. I was switching ROMs also due to the fact that my phone was filled up with "system data" and I needed the storage for my trip to Colorado in approximately 6 hours now. Any help is greatly appreciated and if its not too much trouble please respond quickly because I'd like to have a working phone during my trip.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, so I've managed to connect it to Odin by pressing the buttons blindly (the screen never lit up). I flashed a new recovery and rebooted it but no cigar. I assume my screen is broken somehow. I guess I'll take it to a Tmo store when I get back from vacation, it's a shame I won't have it for the trip >.<
Did you try pressing volume up + power + home key to get into recovery? Also if the soft keys lit up while trying to get into download mode then it may still be in download mode even though the screen is black. That can happen due to various things. To be sure I would connect it to a pc and see if Odin can identify it. If so then you can try flashing it back to stock and see if that makes any difference.

I just had very similar situation backing up system on TWRP (fell asleep and phone completely discharged while in recovery).
1)Open ODIN on PC,
2)Pull battery out of phone.
3)Connect phone to pc w/ usb
4) Put battery in
5) hold down volume, home button and power button
6) Took me immediately into download mode
..good luck

Hi,
I can't get my tablet (G Pad 8.3) to turn on. It has TWRP recovery on it but there doesn't seem to be any life in the tablet to get into recovery.
I flashed fishears custom kernel and the tablet was working fine, I rebooted it and it started to loop and then just seemed to die on me.
I think I've tried download mode (both volume buttons) but can't get into that either.
I've tried the hold power button for 20 seconds then plug a charger in trick but nothing there either.
Before this happened the tablet had 50% battery so it wasn't really all that low.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hardbrick man, try fix http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/how-recovered-lg-g-pad-detected-t3207079
Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.
I've got some tools coming tomorrow so I can open the tablet up, hoping a simple battery unplug might revive it! Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.

Charge device all day, you try fix link up
I do not seem to be having any luck with this tablet. I re-installed the stock rom and now I am in an endless boot loop. The LG logo comes up and then the screen goes off then it comes back on again with the logo then off again. No amount of button pressing or sequences will load recovery.
I can't get the bloody thing in the download mode either. I'm holing both volume buttons then plugging in but it does nothing. I've tried volume up and power and nothing. Any ideas how can I sort this, as there is life in it it just won't respond to anything?
Thanks
So last night everything was normal when I just placed my phone on the table and opened an app (Telegram). Soon after it auto rebooted and ever since then it's stuck on the Samsung logo. It resets when I hold down volume down + power, but never progresses. Any thoughts on what I should do next after these steps that I've done / things that happened?
Flashed latest stock fw (SamMobile) for my device - March 2022, CSC Smart, PH - via Odin. I always updated my phone whenever it appeared so it was on the latest already.
First tried HOME_CSC, next did CSC when it didn't work.
Also tried an update one month down to see. Didn't work.
Cannot go into recovery - Waited until battery drained so it can shut down, I plugged it to my PC, held volume up + power until logo showed up many times. Didn't work.
Plugged it into the charger, lightning icon shows but no number. Only happened once and I never saw it again when I tried. When the phone turned off from 0 battery, plugging it into the charger will boot it to the logo again.
There were never any signs of slow down, crashes, reboots before. This was a surprise.
Phone is about 3 years old. Never dropped. Never used for heavy gaming or all day media.
Battery drained faster, but I'm still able to last half a day with normal usage.
Left it running entire night (4+ hours) when I gave up, I noticed some burn in but it faded after I kept rebooting.
I recently tried flashing the earliest Android 11 update but it would fail according to the Download mode screen so I did not continue.
Any ideas? How do I tell if it's a software/firmware issue or if it's already hardware related? If I cannot go into recovery, is that a sign that it's hardware or am I doing it wrong? Thanks.
