So I flashed a rom this morning and when i rebooted, my screen stayed black but the blue and green LED light is flashing. When I flashed, which I have done many times before, I wiped system/data/cache/dalvic. I thought it may just be my screen, but when I plug my phone into the charger with no battery in it, the no battery in phone error is displayed. I also cant get into download mode or into TWRP. This situation is weird because I can still hear sounds. When i turn the phone on, connect it to my computer and allow it to boot to the flashing LED lights, I can still hear the sound the phone makes that signifies it is connected to a computer, but my computer does not read it. Also my phone is low on battery but I hear the sound that signifies the phone has low battery life, and yes i tried booting the phone with a different battery. So my question is, did I brick my phone or is their something I can do that can maybe fix this.
Nevermind, I fixed it shortly after making this post

Weird thing happened with my phone today. Was listening to some music and browsing the facebook at the same time and suddenly music changed to this high pitch noise and had pull pull out the headphones cos it was really loud.
Everything on the phone froze and I was not able to do anything. None of the buttons worked etc.
I ended up removing the battery and once inserted it back, and pressed the on button, phone wouldn't come back on. Not even a vibration.
I have just plugged it to my PC and can see the orange light as if it is charging. But still won't come on. If I try and turn it on, orange light disappers but if I take the battery out and back in again, starts to charge - orange light.
I know the phone was fully charged before I left work and this happened almost like 15-20 minutes later.
I will contact HTC tomorrow, but just wondering if they'll repair it as I have used unrevoked about a week ago to root the phone but I have not loaded any roms as yet - Still have the original t-mobile rom.
So the screen stays completly black when you power the device on ?
You might try to Hard reset the device.
I would recommend this anyway before giving the phone away.
Else you can try to boot into recovery.
Or connect to your PC via USB and see whats happening.
Boot into recovery by holding down Vol Down and powering on. Try clearing the cache and rebooting.
If it doesn't boot, I recommend, doing a full wipe and trying again.
If this still doesn't work then put a room on your SD card and flash.
If you can't boot to recovery then its a hardware fault or battery issue. I suggest going into your local Telco store and ask to test with another battery.
Good Luck
Further to this, this morning I have noticed that the battery light was green, so the battery is obviously charging.
I still cannot turn on the device using power + vol down.
Called HTC now and arranged a collection.
I have the SGH-T999 running the RC2 version of CM 10.1. I flashed Mako Kernel this morning to try it out and when I rebooted the phone after the flash the screen went dark. I figured there was just a reboot issue and held down the power button but nothing happened. I pulled the battery and put it back in, tried to reboot, nothing. No matter what I do the phone does not turn on now...no booting into recovery, no booting into download mode, nothing at all.
Some interesting things to note:
-When I plug the phone into an outlet WITHOUT the battery being in, the notification light turns on in a red color. When you put the battery in while it's in this state the light remains illuminated.
-I left the battery out of the phone for about 30 minutes and when I put it back in (while the phone was unplugged) the camera flash blinked very quickly.
-My GF has the same phone and all of her stuff is working fine. I tried out her battery but the phone still won't turn on (thus eliminating it being a battery issue).
I'm at a loss...I've owned several top-of-the-line Android phones and have rooted/customized them all and have never bricked anything ever. Is this phone truly done for??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you flashed a kernel for the Galaxy Nexus if I'm not mistaken... You bricked, nothing wrong with the phones hardware. Jtag is your option now.
So my sister gave me her s3. It wont turn on and actually boot. Sometimes it will show the s3 logo and sometimes the Samsung logo. I tried booting into recovery. It will show the booting recovery in the top left but then it will shut off. I took the battery put and plugged it in to the charger, the light will turn red, it will vibrate and try to turn on but the light will disappear. I've tried another battery but the phone doesn't want to boot fully. The charger port is kinda loose and it's about 6 months old. Any help would be appreciated. Kinda know what I'm doing with phones and tried everything I could think of to get it to work -.-
My G4 died on me while I was on speaker while Facebooking. It made a loud and painful beeping sound, froze on me and just died. I tried to reboot it but it was only the LG logo appearing. I don't have an idea on what to do. It's not rooted nor was I rooting it then messed up.
It's not on any warranty (not from the US) nor from any local vendors. So all I can do is to fix it myself or spend a lot or have a very expensive paper weight.
Note:
This thing that happened to my phone is similar to this post but the difference is, I can:
see the LED indicator blink RED when plugged in,
see the LED indicator blink CYAN when I turn it on but turns off then the same problem again.
go to the factory reset menu (power with vol- then power again) but doesn't really work since after showing the little android symbol with the loading thing under it for 1 second, it turns off again...
put the phone in download mode but I don't know what to do next.
I really hope I can fix this my self. I no longer care for the data on the phone since I back up my texts, and photos (thank god for Google Photos) and I can re-download all my apps anyways, so yeah. All I care about is making it work again. Making it functional.
Having the same issue with a friends G4 as well. Except I'm having issues even booting into recovery mode.
For a while I didn't use my Nexus 5X. Recently however I wanted to use it again but it was in a continuous boot loop. No not the big core issue as both TWRP and the ROM installed had the appropriate fixes applied. I could only get it reliably into bootloader mode, but even then it would force reboot after about 5 minutes just to end up in the loop again. Plugging it in or letting it charge over night didn't help.
I then took the battery out, made sure there was no dust anywhere, put the device back together, and tried charging again. Now the screen doesn't turn on whatsoever, and I just have a red led flashing in seemingly the bottom speaker. Even over night it doesn't charge, neither via my pc or directly at the wall. Only by taking out the battery and having the device plugged into power I can get it into the bootloader again, but it still won't boot anything.
I'm not sure what is broken, as even without the battery attached it won't boot properly. What can I do to fix this?
Is there nobody that knows what to do?
