GReetings,
So I have searched for a lot of forums to see if there is an answer to this.
So the story goes. I got myself a new phone and put the TP2 in a drawer. After moving, I have a reason to pull it out and get it ready to be used again. However, it wont turn on.
So I figure the battery went dead. I plug it into the charger, the LED lights up, and got to wait a few minutes. After a minute or so, the white HTC screen suddenly comes on the screen, it vibrates one quick, and shuts off again.
I cant power it up, I can get it to boot loader. Really not sure what the problem is here.
Any ideas suggestions would be welcome as I want to put this one back to stock so I can send it to my step-kid for use.
Try charging it for a few hours, while it is closed. If the phone regularly reboots and then switches off, leave it that way.
The idea is to charge the battery enough, so as the phone boots.
had the same prob the other day
what helped here was:
remove the battery and let it out of the phone for a couple of hours (i did it at night). had the battery removed for about 8 hours. put it back in and it worked for me again.
give it a try and let me know!
Ok will try that tonight when I'm heading for bed. Ill leave it to charge while I'm at work because I get tired of hbearing it vibrate every 20 seconds while its charging

Did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem. I posted in another thread that had the same problem as you.
Maybe HTC really is pushing an auto kill program.

Unfortunately, it didnt work. I think the phone was probably dropped one too many times and is broken. I cant get it to boot, cant even get into the bootloader. So I have no idea.

I also had the same problem I took out the battery and blew on it to get it to cool down and had it sit out of the phone for 10-15mins then put it in the phone and plugged into charger and left it for 30mins then hit the power button.
This reboot cycle happens when my phone dies in android and it works every time for me.
Hope that helps
for future reference, the phone died with a Sim card in it, revived when a Sim card was replaced.

yesterday I had the same problem, boot loader doesn't work. But.... I charged my battery, replaced it, pushed Vol. down + EndCall btn. + Power btn and inserted battery. As a result my boot loader is working now. But after running task 29 and flashing custom firmware my phone doesn't came back alive. I'm looking for solution now. Did anybody have the same problem?
When I'm flashing original firmware the process stops on checking my phone.
Please, give me advice how to solve my problem. Thx.

First off it looks like you are not Hard SPLed so custom ROMs will be a problem for you. Second you have a major error with your keyboard and touch screen. I have a TP2 that took a dip into some water that has the same error - MircoP(LED) Wrong Plat(0x0) and MicroP(KEY) Wrong Plat(0x0). When I first got the phone it would not turn on but would make a noise that sounded like it was crying. I got another TP2 that works fine and swapped the top halfs of the phones because the new one looked like a dog chewed on it. It still worked but in real bad shape. The touch screen that got wet works fine so it is on the TP2 that I use all the time. The wet TP2 will now start up but the keyboard, all of the front buttons but the end key, and touch screen don't work. The touch screen will only register getting touch in one spot. So if you have a software keyboard up only the t will be hit. I Hard SPLed it, ran task 29, and installed a custom rom on it. I have to use My Mobiler to do anything with it. It also will take a battery that has a full charge and drain it to about 50% in about 20 minutes and then claim the battery is dead even on a charger. Something to play with.
With the error you have unless you got it wet you might have a bad flex cable. I would try to fix the error first before trying to change roms.
Thank you for answer.
My phone was HardSPLed and flashed by custom firmware and works fine for half a year. The reason for my situation was broken charger... I think that problem in hardware when I put it on charge, my phone lightly flashed by orange lamp and became can't turn on
You are told that it is looks like it doesn't hacked because I tried to roll it back to original.
Are you sure the phone did not get wet? Everything you describe makes it sound like the phone took a dip. If not, try plugging it into a computer and see if it will charge and turn on.
I resolved my problem krekol, you are right at 100%!!! I took my phone from work-shop and they told me that some water get there, or it was just condensate. As a result oxidation around microphone and some connections.
Now, my phone works fine on WM 6.1 (they flashed it) and somewhy I can't flash Jackos S3 JackFULL 1.7.0. and Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3 too
maybe it is effects of oxidation.... I'm trying flash from my flash-card.

You can only HSPL once. If they (or you) relocked the device, you won't be able to unlock it again unless you can get Olipro/cmonex to take pity on you.
Glad I could help. Here is a small warning. Once a phone gets wet it's days are numbered. You might have a week, a month, or a year but the phone will die. I would plan ahead for the phone to die and keep an real close eye on it.

If you need to HardSPL a second time, PM me.
First of all I read all the possible posts here in the XDA forum about this problem but no one was able to help me :s
I was listening music with my cellphone than it crashed and turned of from nohting. My first thought was "Damm, it crashed!" and I removed the battery and after a couple minutes I put it back and than the cellphone never turned on again. No battery status is showing up, no leds, odin and flash mode doens't work either. I don't no what to do :s
I tried this:
◘ Unplug from USB, remove battery 5 min, put it back
◘ Odin and Flash mode
◘ Turn it on without battery on pc
◘ Turn it on while recharging
My GNexus model is a I9250 GSM.
Could you add some more details? How long the phone's been in operation, refurbished?, rooted?, your current ROM, kernel, radios, advanced kernel settings such as voltage changes, any tweaks, battery type, temperature.
This exactly happened to me on my DroidX. I spent 2 weeks trying everything to revive it including taking the phone apart before adding it to the pile and getting my current GNexus Toro.. so I know how much this sucks. I'm not an expert on phones bricking but I know that connections can go bad or come loose, especially if the phone has been dropped or other impact, components start to lose their integrity over time and voltage shorts 'burn out' op-amps. You mentioned listening to music, so I'm wandering about the IVA components burning out, which usually has voltage too high especially on boot... Hope you can get it working.

Well first of all I thank you for your concern and my phone is on again, thanks to my uncle. The phone is '4 months old', I rooted last month, bootloader unlocked and I was using samsung stock rom (4.2.1 JB). Yeah, that really suck monkey b*lls. If you got the same problem as me (I really hope not) that's what you should do: First remove the battery, plug the charger and than put the battery back. In my case, It kind "shorted" the battery and my phone is back on. I was reading posts and posts and discovered that GNexus has this problem and a lot. Dunno when it can happen again but I really don't want a paperweight. Once again, thank you!
Glad you got your Nexus back up and runnning. Thanks for posting back with details after you figured out the problem and got your phone working, +1 right there. There's always a good chance this will help out someone later on. :good:
Confirmation: balums worked for me
balums uncle's solution worked for me: specifically, (1) removed USB power, (2) removed battery, (3) applied USB power, (4) inserted battery, (5) press power button.
Thanks balums!
Does anybody have technical (design/EE) insight into what would cause this?
This was starting from a device that appeared totally dead.
The battery was *fully charged* (and showed up that way immediately when the device finally booted).
I had done the obvious things of removing/inserting the battery, cleaning contacts, checking the USB power connection.
Was about to pull it apart when I saw balums post, saving me huge time.
Device is about 16 months old. Stock OS and settings. First time this has happened.
Search terms:
CDMA (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy Nexus -- SCH-i515.
Phone won't boot. Device won't turn on. Won't start. Dead. No worky.
Thanks,
Seth
Awesome! You trick worked, balums!
Interestingly I also have the standard stock version of OS and Hardware which I bought 14 Months ago (nearly to the day). I was surfing over WiFi yesterday evening and when I turned the phone off I noticed the screen getting grey for a moment, not black. And this morning the Nexus just didn't turn on.
Anyway, thanks for the solution, have a nice day!
That is very odd because my i515 also did the exact same thing and I have owned it for 15 months. I can't wait to get home and try this trick. More to come.
Drew
Thanks!

Hey Balums,
My GNex didn't turn on this morning and I was really confused as to why it would do such a thing, until I saw your post. Thanks a lot for posting your uncle's remedy!
It fixed mine!

Galaxy nexus wont turn on or charge.
I tried (1) removed USB power, (2) removed battery, (3) applied USB power, (4) inserted battery, (5) press power button but my galaxy nexus still dont turn on. i have 4.2.2 stock rooted. i was downloading something and my screen become weird in colors and i cent use the phone. i turn it of and now wont turn on again or charge.
after unlocking and rooting i installed this touch recovery from google play. [ROOT]Recovery Tools
Excellent! balums' suggestion helped me. I thought I had tried this before but apparently didn't quite get this in the right sequence.
The only remaining issue I have now is that when it does turn on, I've got the thunderbolt on the battery indicator, the phone says it's charging at the lock screen, but when I go to Battery under Settings it says that the battery is discharging. This effectively has my phone in a state where I can't unplug it (battery is too low but it also doesn't appear to actually "charge"). I tried replacing the Micro USB charge port PCB board and came up with the same results. To me, this seems like a problem and may indicate a motherboard or battery connection issue. I used the "Battery Monitor Widget" and it indicated that it was getting AC power. Any thoughts?
Thanks to XDA and Balum's suggestion! I thought my phone just died! It was on 70somethign % battery last I looked, connected by USB to the PC and I don't know if I turned it off and walked away for a while or if it turned off by itself, but it would not turn on no matter what I did after I got back to my desk. It is on Android 4.3 takju stock not rooted.
Thank you all again for the instructions on how to revive the GNex!
Samsung Galaxy Nexus won't power up
I got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I got it from my cousin and therefore don't have any information about the rooting status as well as the ROM but i guess it was running stock. The phone won't turn ON, it is not detected in the computer. No LED or any other indication. I tried the above method which worked for many people but it failed. What is special about the phone is that the upper part of the screen is heating up more as compared to the rest of the phone. Can somebody help me fix this? Is this a hardware issue?
I have the EXACT same problem as you do. I have no idea where to start to try to fix it. I took a picture, then lines went squiggly across the screen, then it flickered, and died. I cannot power it on at all. I tried Uncle's tricks. No luck.
Anyone have some ideas on what to try? Thanks.

Also having the same problem. My Nexus has been rebooting randomly for the past week or so, and finally, this morning, it refuses to turn on at all.
It's a Verizon Galaxy Nexus running stock, but it's been rooted. I'm using the extended battery. The trick that was posted earlier in this thread doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried multiple USB cables and power sources.
I'm going to try the standard battery when I get home, but I'm not expecting positive results.
Work-around
About two months ago whenever I turned my Gnex off, it became totally unresponsive to all attempts to start again. After a lot of trial and error, I discovered that if I pulled the battery for 30-60 minutes and reinstalled, it would power on normally. I have completely wiped and rooted the phone and the problem persisted.
Today I thought about it some and realized there may be some residual charge in the phone, and my waiting period is to allow the charge to drain. To test this theory, I powered the phone down and then tried to restart - nada. Pulled and reset the battery - nada. Pulled the battery, shorted out all four pins that would make contact with the battery, reinstalled battery, and it powered right up. I have not been able to successfully repeat a fast restart when shorting out all four pins. Pulling the battery and waiting 30-60 mins still works.
Incidently about the same time, my screen has stopped auto rotating (and yes it is set to do so).

What are you doing exactly to short out the battery?
galaxy nexus reboot
my galaxy nexus is about 1 year old now and this is the first time that i've encountered a problem with it. It suddenly restarted, and will take about 5-7minutes before it opens, it will be open up to the "X" logo and when it reaches the normal screen it will restart again. I don't know whats wrong with it. please help/

You saved my Galaxy Nexus
Similar problem + water
Ok, so I have a similar situation I believe. My phone took a swim. I left it off and riced it. Later on after I believed it to be dry enough, i turned it on. (wow it freaking worked) After a few seconds of using the device checking screen the phone snapped off and went into a reboot. I waited until it came back and i shut it down and thought I'd let it go over night. I plugged it in and let it charge (charge icon was displaying). Everything looked good.
Fast forward. Morning time. I go to turn the phone on. Nothing.
This time the phone won't boot. Instead all i see is the white battery icon show up indicating the battery is 100%. When i plug it in to the charger i get the battery with the charging bolt, then it shows the normal battery indicator light. After that, I get nothing.
I tried the method I saw above. remove power, remove battery, apply usb power, insert battery, press power. Sadly it didn't work.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what might be going on?
Hi Guys,
Ive had my GPAD for about 2 months now, i came to use it today and the device was dead. Simple enough i thought the battery had just drained, however when i plugged it in to charge it just did a strange bootloop. The LG screen appeared a battery icon with 0% appeared and then instantly rebooted itself doing the same process over and over.
I thought if i left it for a bit it might need a charge before going any further i.e. battery was completely drained. I have left it for over and hour and its still doing the same thing. As soon as you unplug it from the mains it dies and wont turn on.
I'm assuming my battery has completely failed, has anyone else experienced this with this device. I've owned lots of phones and tablets over the years and have never known a battery fail like this before?
Thanks

If it immediately gave a sign of life when you plugged it in, then it was not off. Power it off with the power button, then plug it in to charge. Try this also on your computer if that fails, and finally, treat it as if it were bricked and thus set it to Download mode, and try a recovery.

I just had the exact same problem myself.
I did use CM11. What did you use?
After going back to stock it worked fine. Now, I am just about to try cm11 again.
Sorry for Kate reply, didn't really Jeep an eye on the thread as I thought it was just dead lol. I used madhi ROM which I think is cm11 based. I'll try and put it back to stock.
Thanks for your reply

Hello. Im sure there is plenty of such topics in the forum, but I believe, that my case is specific and I hope we could resurrect my phone somehow together.
So last night I just send a WhatsApp VoiceMessage to my friend as suddenly my phone started shutting down, just like if it had 0-2% battery power... But it actually had over 40% battery life... I thought ok, yeah, might be battery, so I plugged in the original charger and the phone didn't show any signs of being alive. Then I've unplugged charger, toke battery out, plugged charger back in and I saw that its still alive, telling me "please put the battery in, there is nothing inside me to be charged". So I placed battery back to the phone and guess what.... It shows no signs of being alive again, the battery wouldnt charge... Then out of panic I started to do random stuff like holding power button for 10secs for soft restart, holding power button and volume down button for what ever that was... Plugging charger in and out like crazy... The phone was just dead! So I had to give up... I toke the battery out and let the phone lay for like I dont know 2-3 hours. Later on, I came back, put battery inside and tried power button + volume down again.... woohoo!! , it worked, my phone started to boot! I thought this is it! Hes alive again, but ahahaha.... 6-7 secons during the boot, it just turned off immediatly. I thought yeah, must be battery, so I order new, original LG G3 battery... And while the order was on his way to me, I managed to charge the old battery after letting the phone lay for 2-3 hours and then plugging charger in again. It started to charge... I let it go up to 66% I believe and tried to turn on the phone again.... Guess now what? LG intro screen poped-up and the in left corner I just saw something with "boot error blah blah geeky stuff" and suddenly red and blue LED started to blink, red/blue/red/blue/etc... and the screen just turned off.... I couldnt do anything.... So I removed battery again and waited for my order... Next day I got no success turning my phone on with new battery.... I was playing around with different button combinations and remove/put battery and conclusion is.... The phone is dead except if you let lay without battery for few minutes... Then you can start charging battery for example... After that you can try to boot it, but it will just shut down immediatly after few seconds. Or you can try to boot it, but again, it will shut down immediatly and then you cant do anything until you let it lay without battery. I also managed to access recovery mode but I didnt start it, because I would like to get at least my data back somehow.... The phone is not that important as the data on it. I also tried to access download mode, for recovering my data, but without success....
LG G3 D855 Europe version
Lollipop 5.0 OTA version
Not rooted, Not modified
Any help would be really appreciated. If its impossible to resurrect the phone, can I save at least my data somehow? What would I try, please?
[Edit]
I just tried to start factory reset for sake of god.... Found some data recovery software on the internet, that might help after factory reset, but phone just shut down immediatly after I confirmed that I want to reset and nooow.... I see the LG logo like it would try to boot for already 20minutes and nothing happens

Thats what it appears normally when this happens a new battery is most of the time the fix....
Only other recommendations are try different usb cables and charging blocks....
As well as if you did not purchase a legitimate G3 battery I would try to purchase a new oem battery....There are cheaper aftermarket ones But I am one the the stick to oem type To many quality control issues imo...
I know Lg dont have the best track record for quality control either.....
Recently I posted about a problem others had as well - when under 50% ish battery, my HTC 10 would randomly reboot, and that would loop until it was plugged in.
Once plugged in and fully rebooted, the battery % reading would vary from where it was before to 1%. Also, certain apps' data or cache would be deleted. I would open, Macrodroid, for example, and it acts like it's the first time being opened after installation.
This has been exhausting, having to constantly be charging, staying above 60% - and even then it still happening. After it does, the apps whose data was cleared varied, and I wouldn't always know until I opened each.
So after this I dropped it and cracked the screen. I have fixed all of my HTCs before with various problems - M8, M7, DNA, Incredible, Max - so I decided to put in a new battery to hopefully fix the bootloop problem.
After watching a few disassembly videos, it seemed best to replace the screen when I opened it for the battery. So I ordered a screen, and waited more, constantly charging, restoring data to apps like Macrodroid and initializing apps all over again.
I finally have the new battery and screen. I have a few hours. I get out all my tools.
A few hours later, I have put it back together. It's like Medusa inside this thing! I was really being risky doing this last night, because I have a ton of work to do today, yet here I am typing this on my backup nexus 5x - so slow!
So the result? Success for the screen replacement, and the battery as well. But, now, it is bootlooping still! I plug it in, and two things:
Plugging it in does not stop the bootloop.
The charging LED does not light up.
So I am hoping someone may have some insight as to what I may not have connected properly. I can post pictures later, I'm not home right now.
I looked and looked and looked and cannot find where I went wrong. I am going to take it apart and put it back together if I can't find the error. Any ideas? Any other places I should post this?
I guess when I get home, assuming it has completely drained itself, I can plug it in, and see if it gets a charge, and if the LED illuminates. I am thinking: charging port is not properly connected back + the new battery did not fix the bootloop / battery issue.
Thoughts?
Bootloops/shutdowns are going to corrupt your data. I would RUU the thing before looking for hardware trouble, which you've likely sorted out by replacing the battery (of course, we're assuming the new battery is good).
BUT before that, is there a memory test in the bootloader or recovery? If so, I would run that very first thing.

Whatever happened to your phone? I have the exact same problem. Infinite boot loop, no illuminated LED, and no way of getting into recovery or anything else with it bootlooping. It occurred after I made the mistake of trying to restart it at 25%. I have the new battery and screen. i'm going to attempt to open this Pandora's box. Seriously going to have to turn my back on HTC. The 10 is so full of software issue problems regarding the batteries that they never bothered to address.
I did the exact same thing a few days ago and my phone won't charge or boot, but I do think the problem is with the button strip, that's what i think, because i tried turning it on before re assembling it and it did turn on successfully and was charging normally but when i re Assemble it, the phone got this problem, now i think when i turned it on before assembling i pressed the power button with a screw driver because i couldn't press it with my fingers, I think there i messed it up, any advice how to fix the button strip and remove a slip nut would be very much appreciated
I had the exact same issue as you(shutting down at 50%), have you found any solution to it?
edit: I THINK clean flashing oreo firmware then latest RUU then twrp then lineage fixed my issue, charging to full rn will drain it over the next day and report back if its gone for good
