Hello! here is what happened-
had my phone plugged into PC one night, screen froze to black and blue light stayed on all night, left it to drain battery to dead because none of the buttons were working, and the blue light would just stay on as long as it had battery
So now it doesn't boot, however when i plug it into my PC, the device manager will make the sound that its connected, and if i try to get into download mode while it's plugged into PC, the device manager will make a device disconnected sound followed by a device connected sound, much like normal when you reboot a device that's plugged in. However, there is no way to access anything related to the phone from PC while it's plugged in.
So is it hard-bricked? I already tried the firmware odin guide to unbrick but without download mode it's useless.
I also tried a new battery and several chargers/charging cables to get it to boot.
I never messed with any firmware settings/cfw or the like, and it just sort of died in the middle of it being idle.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi all, I've been using XDA for years since the original O2 XDA's and I have never had to post anything as I've always found my solution. I'm hoping somebody can assist me with a problem I have on this stock galaxy tab 3.
The device was brought to me after being thrown down the stairs. I replaced the screen and built it back up,
Removed battery connector and reconnected = nothing happens
Press power = nothing happens
press download mode = nothing happens
press recovery mode = nothing happens
Plug USB into PC = nothing happens on PC or tablet
Plug in USB mains charger and it displays battery charging logo but it doesn't fill or animate the fill then it starts the samsung boot screen. It reboots and continues to do this constantly and never ends.
I've tried two batteries and both batteries work in another tab 3 but neither batteries changed how the device works.
Thank you for any advice in advanced!!
I just received a Tab 3 lite (SM-T110) for repair, it's having a similar problem.
It does automatically turn on when plugged into charger or computer.. It is stuck on a bootloop, requiesting a Kies recovery. It does reboot when given the three finger salute (center button, volume down, and power) - it will not enter recovery mode though - same firmware error message). The device is also full off or full on, no indication of it's it's recharging or no - let the battery run out, it's off - else it's on (does not turn on or off with power button). I don't have any info how it got into this state - most likely power loss during a firmware update, but haven't ruled out other possibilities (ie bad rooting job, a custom ROM upgrade went wrong, etc). I'm not 100% concerned about cause, but hopefully I can unbrick the thing.
Anyways, I loaded Kies onto my computer and put it into recovery mode and plugged it in - nothing. Exit the recovery mode of Kies, and all of a sudden the program goes nuts trying to connect and disconnect from the device. Hmm... Okay, disconnect it, uninstall Kies, install Kies3 and try again - same thing except it complains the device is too old when the program leaves recovery mode - but same thing otherwise - does not show up in recovery mode, connects and disconnects at huge rate when not in recovery mode....
Hmmm...
Now looking at the screen, it does indicate (in the upper left hand corner) that it's in ODIN mode... So my next step I figure I'll try ODIN (although I'm researching ODIN at the moment as I haven't used it before (never had to unbrick anything from Samsung prior to now).
Okay, that was painless - downloaded and installed ODIN 3.10.7, and then downloaded the latest firmware from Samsung, extracted the firmware, added it to ODIN's AP line, then hit start to push the latest firmware onto the tablet. Good as new again.
Yesterday i attempted to install a custom recovery on HTC desire 816g. using fastboot command the process went fluently in fastboot mode but when i tried to open the recovery from hboot the screen got stuck at htc logo. After a while i gave up soft reset the phone using hardware buttons and since than the major problem began.
On restart the device screen turned blank as in didn't display anything and the red notification led stayed on. It stayed like this forever so i plugged in the charger and reset the phone again . Now it showed me just the battery icon with charging sign in the middle with no signs of how much it is getting charged or how much it is charged. It just stuck on the charging on and of course the red notification led continuously turned on. when unplugged and restarted it again stayed blank with red led on forever. SO i thought if its a mtk chip i would just reset the device by inserting the stock rom using sp flash tool. So i reset my phone where the led turns of for a second and turns i believe which is resetting it and connected the usb and nothing. windows does not simply detect the HTC anymore. SO i opened the device manager to see if it at least shows up as an unknown device in it but nothing. It simply does not show up. I have tried everything. restarting it connecting the usb unplugging the usb before restart on restart after restart all possible combination nothing works. But the led keeps strongly flashing red. So i thought its the battery problem. I kept it as is with red light flashing it discharged on its own and now when i attempted to start it the red led was blinking now. So i put it on charging overnight. And after all efforts its still the same. I need your help the most. Cant loose a phone now. Is it permanently bricked?
Hi Guys,
I have a problem with this device about years ago. As I'm playing Vainglory, my tab turned off instantly then after trying to turning it on again, nothing happens, I thought it just ran out of battery. I tried to charge it but only the charging battery icon shows up but it doesn't charge even if i left it overnight. I tried to access it's recovery mode but it bootloops only. BUT I can access the download mode easily but If I try to connect it to PC then boot it in download mode. It just die and bootloop. I know that only the download mode can help me on this. I just can't simply use odin/kies cause my device doesnt connect to PC. Tried to use different cables/Reseatting the battery but nothing happens.. Also, it only boots/respond when connected to a charger. Is this soft bricked?Please help... Thank You.
So i have this Xperia S from my sister here, and something really strange is happening with it:
First of all: the phone doesn't turn on. When i put the phone in the charger it just keeps with the red led on but the led never goes green, it's like the phone never finish charging.
Second: after some time in the charger, the red led goes off and the phone keeps in a black screen. If the phone is connected on the PC when this happens, a driver named "SOMC Flash Device" is installed. I read that this means that the phone is bricked but the difference in my case is that i can enter in flashmode but:
I can't flash any stock ROM on this phone. I can put the phone on flashmode, but when i start the flash on Flashtool it gives me a error of Flash aborted and then i think that the phone tries to restart because the green led suddenly goes off and then the PC emits the disconnect sound. Sometimes even when flashtool is not doing anything the phone just restarts itself.
I already left the phone on the charger for several hours but nothing happens, the phone just keeps on the red led for some time and after that it keeps on a black screen. I can't do much thing in fastboot mode because i think that the bootloader is locked.
Can someone help me?
I rooted my Galaxy a70 using vbmeta,Twrp and magisk. All was going well. Suddenly my phone turned off and when I press power button its shows download mode .so I tried odin to flash but every time it fails.After many tries I realise that its port are not connecting to pc ,its only charging and my pc also can't detect my phone ..now when I connect the phone to pc its shows samsung logo.its also not showing the battery percentage .
(My pc is ok it have all driver installed and odin works)
Is there anyway to solve.
Thanks.
reboot pc just to be sure.
connect phone and pc
on the phone in download mode screen, hold vol down and power till screen goes blank immediately let go and hold vol up and down to boot back into download mode. the letting go when screen goes blank to holding up and down needs to be fast.
now once back in download mode, is odin showing port number?
also make sure your using odin 3.13.3
if still no go, try uninstalling samsung usb drivers, reboot then reinstall and try the process again.
When I put cable in my phone it directly shows the logo....
Its not showing the battery
I tested my another Samsung phone to be sure that my softwares are working. And it's working but when I put my A70 in. Nothing happened
