Hey guys, I'm having a problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
I had my phone hooked to the charger. When I went back to it a few minutes later, the phone was powered off. There was also no charge LED lit either.
Now, I am not able to power the phone on at all. I get no LEDs when I plug it up.
I have tried taking the battery out several times. Has anyone else ran into this issue.
Also, I am not rooted, I am running on stock software.
You don't get the slash screen or anything?
Have you tried to get into recovery via adb?
We're you rooted / custom rom name?
You sound bricked
I do not get a splash screen or anything what so ever.
This phone has never been rooted. My original phone was, but after an issue with roaming and 3g I swapped it and decided not to root the new phone.
I have tried powering on with the volume button down, but still nothing. My pc does not recognize it at all when I plug it in either.
Also, I have tried 3 different charges and cables as well.
I had the same problems. I just weighted and mess with the power button and the battery. Steps that I did
1. hold the power button for like 5 second w/battery on phone
2. than while holding the p/button took the battery out and than put it back
I did this like 5 time, than it came on.I don't know what it was luck or what but it work for me. All of this happen before I rooted the phone.
Didn't work
Thanks for the input though.
It might just be dead. Maybe a power surge or something. idk.
Well, I finally got it working. It ended up being the battery. When it messed up, it was plugged into my g19 keyboard. This ended up completely draining my battery.
I swapped batteries with my friend to verify this. It than took over an hour to charge my battery to the point of the Orange led comming on.
I searched as best I could so please bare with me..
Brand new e971, less than a week old and I managed to drop it in the toilet bending over to tuck in a shoelace after I took a leak. Fell out of my sweater pocket, and right in the bowl.. that'll teach me to put the seat down.
Anyway, I was out somewhere and obviously didnt have the sim key or any tools to crack the back and pop the battery..I 'windmilled' to get what I could out.. but that was the best I could do. I held the power button down hoping itd shut off and it eventually did, flashed something on the screen and that was it.
When I was able to I opened it up and popped the battery and dried whatever water was inside, whcih there was some.. took the mainboard out, blew it off with compressed air (it was actually dry, all the covers worked well). Put it back together sans battery and put it in rice for 36~ hours or so (would have waited longer, but I was confident I got the majority of the water out in the first place).
Phone won't power on though. The best I can do is get it to start download mode by pressed vol up+down and inserting the USB. Plugging in the USB on its own sees the charge indicator flash red intermittently, in a very long slow frequency - im thinking the battery is fried, maybe the power button too. The LG logo comes on the screen for a second and disapears for about 5, and repeats this cycle.
I've never rooted or messed with anything like this before but someone said I may be able to reflash the phone and have it work.. but I really have no clue. Any advice would be appreciated.. like I said this is brand new :/

That reflashes new stuff.
If you hold down Volume Down + Power Key you should get into factory reset, can you see if that works or you might have fried the storage or something.
If you somehow get it to work but need battery you have here:

Which ships World wide I think and pretty decent price.
Hope it works and please come back and tell us how it went.

Thanks for the response
vol down + power key has no response
Im tempted to think the power switch is broken and the battery shorted and is dead, but I am no expert
If I plug it into USB all it does is flash the LG logo, no lights nothing.
if I hold the vol down button down, when the LG logo flashes the back/home/search buttons illuminate for a second, and occasionally the red light will come on for a second, but thats it, other than being able to get into download mode the phone is a total brick. I'll check out your link when I get home. I have insurance but there is still a replacement fee and I can't afford it right now.. and the fact that I opened the phone I think they may try to **** me over with that even though its clearly water damage (indicators are all purple/pink)
thanks again

If the red light flash, it's usually because the power button is hold down. I think your power button might be stuck. Also try to plug it in wall and no on computer USB.

I was at work with the phone (dropped it out somewhere and took it apart and left there) so I had not tried plugging into a regular wall charger
Plugged it into a charger, backlight came on and the LG logo flashed, went away and flashed again, but a lot faster this time, and then I got a message "battery too low to power on!! I assume its charging, or trying to?!?! The red light goes bright, and then dims to nothing, and then goes bright again. Pressing the power button turns the screen on to the "too low to power on" screen again, and pressing again turns it off as per normal!
I'm kind of excited now, it may just be the battery after all.
Now, either the water shorted it and ruined it (and ill be checking the phone closely to see the lipo doesnt blow up on me..), or somehow the battery fully discharged? The battery was pretty full around the time of the toilet incident, but stranger things have happened right?

The indicator going from dim to bright during charging is pretty normal. It also means your battery is charging. Give it a full charge and see how it goes. And do try keeping your phone in your trouser pockets. It's safer that way.

I left it on the wall charger for a little over an hour but the phone appeared to make no progress so I unplugged it deeming the battery dead, that and I didnt want to run the risk of anything bad happening charging a dead battery (im a little leery with these lipo's due to my RC experience with them..). Maybe I'll try again for a while this evening.. but since the battery had a full charge prior to toileting, I can't imagine it totally discharging; is this possible? The other not so nice reality is that maybe the power circuit on the mainboard fried and its not reading the battery properly?
Yes.. will definitely have to keep phones in my trousers and put all seats down from now on..
So I'll try charging again for a longer time period to see what happens, otherwise I'll be ordering a battery on Monday and waiting about a week to two weeks for it
I'll keep the thread updated as much as I can without double posting
Thanks for the response
Well.. you'll never believe this but.. it works. Flawlessly as if the toilet never happened..
I tried the insurance route being that a battery shipped to me would cost half the price of a claimed replacement and it would have been a gamble.. so I went that route. Was told they denied my claim because my insurance was not activated because I need to make an outgoing phone call.. I only ever text and had not made one..
So down in the dumps and considering spending $25 shipping on a $30 battery, I went home and decided to try the phone one more time by reseating the battery..
I plugged it into the charger and got a blue battery charging.. I pressed the power on button and the phone came to life..
Not sure what the hell happened, maybe the battery needed to dry out inside or it wasnt seated just right the last time I tried but everything is working flawlessly.. wow. I am in shock.
Now I guess its time to root it
Thanks everyone for the advice and tips, but it seems all I needed was some time and luck!
BACKGROUND:
At first, it just started turning off for no reason (probably a month and a half ago).
Then this week, it would start to randomly turn off, and start vibrating constantly when charging. After fiddling with the buttons, it would eventually find itself into download mode and then later turn itself on.
NOW:
Monday morning, after several days of draining the battery to 0% (due to me solely charging it for an hour a day), the phone went dead. Then, that night, upon trying to charge it and turn it on, it remained stuck on a black screen. After taking out the battery, it would continuously beep while still connected to the charger. As soon as I put in the battery, it would become COMPLETELY unresponsive, with and without the charger. After fiddling with it for over an hour, I put it down and slept, leaving the battery and charge in the phone.
Tuesday morning, I clicked the power button, and the phone flashed to the lock screen. It displayed it was at 0% battery, but I think it showed a charging sign. I used the phone for almost 2 minutes, checking my texts, before it again went completely black. The phone became completely unresponsive (no beeping or anything, regardless of anything I did). I connected it to a wall charger again, and left it there for the entire afternoon.
Then when I picked it up at around 6 o clock, I discovered that the continuous beeping stopped, and it would only beep after holding the power button for around 5 seconds. It could beep regardless of whether the battery was out or not.
After charging it all that night, I found I could make it flash the Samsung logo for a fraction of a second after holding down both volume buttons and the power button. I looked it up, and supposedly it brings you to recovery mode, but I believe my phone is switching off immediately after bringing up the logo.
At around 12, Tuesday night, I again decided to hold down the power button (just to reassure myself of it still somewhat functioning), and it powered on for around ten seconds (!!!) . It got all the way to the end of the pink loading bar screen, but then beeped and restarted. The second time, it lasted only around three seconds, without even getting to the loading bar screen, before powering off. It became completely unresponsive afterwards, no beeping, regardless of where it was charging and whether the battery was in or not.
Wednesday morning (today), after having left it charge all night, the phone still was completely unresponsive. I then left it to charge the entire afternoon (until now), and it was still completely unresponsive. I took it apart and played around with the power button, but it didn't seem to be stuck. I've now put it back together and leaving it connected to the wall charger once again.
What I've Tried:
Tried connecting it to Kies (computer doesn't even recognize it)
Tried putting into Recovery Mode (unresponsive)
Tried putting into Download Mode (unresponsive)
Switched chargers (unresponsive)
Held power button (beeps, now doesn't do anything)
Held both volume buttons and power button (beeps then quickly flashes samsung logo)
Cleaned off some of the micro usb lint with a tooth pick (coincided with the stopping of continuous beeping, not sure if it caused it)
What I think it could be:
Faulty power button (this is what I thought it was, but now it's not vibrating)
Faulty battery (I kept draining to 0%, but if this is the problem, it doesn't explain the phone not displaying anything when it's connected to a charger w/o battery inside)
Faulty usb charging port (I've heard it sometimes causes vibration problems. wouldnt explain the restarting).
Fried motherboard (phone has had some water damage, but I'm not sure if it's the MOBO, considering its symptoms)
HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Not Alone
hey, this isnt really an answer, but maybe something to bump this up. Mine went last night.... won't boot, won't charge... goes into download mode but no matter how many times i switch cables, install Samsung drivers, install Keis, or anything imaginable- i cannot get it to communicate with my PC. if i could i would be able to fix this problem.
i really hope that someone will take a look at these issues and give some input. my call to Samsung was useless, i wasted hours with redundancy. I bought the phone used off Ebay in mint condition... have taken it apart and cleaned it with no avail. i fear that soon the battery will be dead and there's no way to charge it. sucks. Samsung really should recall/replace this because so many people have similar issues. whether it's the USB Flex or the battery or the motherboard they should be responsible. looks like ill be getting a nexus 4 afterall.
please let me know if you figure anything out.

It may be your battery, u need to remember why they tell u not to run the phone that way, the batteries our phones run need to maintain a certain charge in order to work correctly, if like u said u only charged it an hr or so a fah for over a week and drained completely more than once u may have rendered ur battery unable to hold a charge, in effect not allowing the phone to run its boot process, I would try a new battery, because beyond that the only other logical explanation is a hardware failure, stuck power button wouldn't render the device unresponsive only when the battery was put in like that, it would bootloop, have u ever just held ur power button in? The phone vib an shuts down a. Vib again n shut down, not become unresponsive, I would try a new battery, and if it works, respect the charge lol

I would agree, seems to be the battery. I bought 2 batteries and a 110V charger on eBay for $30. They don't have the NFC antenna in them but I've never missed it. Not only that but charging that way saves the wear and tear on the USB port.

So I've been using my Tab S for a minimum of 3-4 hours a day since I got it in Feb.
It is the Tab S 10.5 32GB version from Best Buy SM-T800
I've never dropped it, scratched it, etc. I've been VERY careful with it.
I installed Iron Rom on it in March (before Lollipop came out), and besides one freeze per month, have had no issue with it (I've also never updated Iron Rom as it never had an issue).
This morning I used the tablet for an hour while it was plugged in (and at 100%). I then unplugged it and put it on a table. An hour later, I went to use it, and the screen stayed black when I pushed any buttons!!
So I tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Nothing. I tried plugging it in. Nothing. I tried holding down volume down and power button for 30 seconds. Nothing. I tried holding down all the buttons for 30 seconds. Nothing.. I tried holding volume up, down, and power. Nothing. I tried holding volume down, menu, and power. Nothing. I tried holding volume up, menu, and power. Nothing. Then I repeated the above over and over. NOTHING!
I even waived magnets over it.. (I read it on the internet).. Nothing
This tablet is my daily driver. It won't turn on, it won't show me a charging screen. I'm freaking out! There is no physical damage to the tablet, no one else has touched it.. I'm freaking out man!!
Any suggestions before I jump out the window?

Hi, I think someone had this problem a while back. No matter what he did, it didnt seem to turn on at all. It turns out, it was some sort of hardware problem and even though knox was tripped, it was repaired free of charge. The only thing I can think of is sending it to samsung or something and say something like you were trying to update through kies and this happened ao you can get it repaired since its not your fault. I am leaning towards that this has to be an hardware problem since someone (XDA user FormeriPhoney) had the same issue with his. Hopefully it goes well with your Tab S!

Argh.. I talked to Samsung.. They said I would need to send the tablet to them and I would get it fixed/replaced but it would take 2-3 weeks. They have no advanced warranty to send a replacement out first.
The other (and more scummy) option is to go to Best Buy, buy a replacement, and then return this one as a DOA. It would save me 3 weeks of being without a tablet..
This sucks
Try POWER + VOL DOWN.
Hold for at least 30 secs.
If not you may find after a day or so the battery will fully deplete and then start charging.
Do you get any response on the pc when you plug it in?

Held it down for a few min
Samsung chat had me plug in the tablet and hold down power for a minute
Didn't work
It's unplugged now and on a table.

Oh.. And no response on a PC.
Yeah. This sucks. The only good news is that I actually backed up a lot to the external memory card last week as I was planning to go lollipop soon. The bad news is that all my customizations and other stuff is not saved (book marks in books I'm reading, etc). My titanium backup is from the first week I got my tablet.
But this is exactly why I won't get a phone without an external memory card. I would have lost everything.

IT"S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up this morning,, resigned to no tablet.. still debating on going to Best Buy and getting a new one.. But I have 12 models coming in today for auditions.. So really don't have time.. But I NEED a tablet for notes with these auditions.
I walk over to the tablet laying dead on the cable.. and try plugging it in... and suddenly.. 0% comes on the screen.. it's sooo beautiful.. I want to make out with the tablet.. My heart leaps with happiness..
I turn on the tablet.. and it boots!!!!! It gets into Android.. and Nova Prime pops on the screen! But.. just as I couldnt get any happier.. it shuts down... It doesnt like booting at 0%.. So I wait another 3 min, half breathless... 1%!!! And I boot again. This time it sticks and I'm able to boot successfully into Android.
So here is my question. WTF happened? How do I avoid this?? Not being able to do a hard reset is some really mess up [email protected]#$%, If I was on a plane or other kind of trip, I would have been pissed... Let alone the wasting of literally 2-3 hours last night trying every single button combination for 2-3min at a time.
I'm surprised hard reset didn't work. I'd try it now it's working just so you know what to expect when you need it.
It may just be a one off. My tablet went into sd card mode once for no reason and that scared the heck out of me. I couldn't do anything. Left it overnight and after the battery ran down it started charging and then booted.
Never done it since.

Yup. Holding down the vol - and power after 20 seconds rebooted the tablet.
I would kill for a hard reset pinhole in the tablet.. Or a faster way to quick drain the battery.
Does the microusb port supply power when the tablets is turned off, if it does connect an usb device that will drain the power faster, like an portable hdd.

I've never known the hard reset not to work, no matter what state the tablet has been in and I've bricked mine God knows how many times.
Only when it dropped into sd card mode did it not work.

May be unrelated but updated to the latest nightly of Lineage, ran into the camera issues and got some random reboots. Sent an email, and then put it in my pocket, pulled it out a few minutes later and it wouldn't turn on. Have done the hold down power and volume down button to no avail. Used the USB cable to hook it to the laptop, see it in QDLoader 9008 mode. If I hold down the power button and the volume down button I can see it disconnect and reconnect but it never turns on or shows anything on the screen.
Spent a few hours googling it and looks like you need some hardware specific files to the QFIL method, which I can't find. So is this device toast? Was really enjoying the device and so sad that it died after only using it for about 1.5 months.
**UPDATE**
So the leave it plugged in to the laptop overnight trick didn't work. So I took the phone a part, when it's in this mode it seems like there is is still power to system. I left it open until the battery died, and the regulation circuit cut power. Then plugged it in the laptop(although a charger would probably work). Let it charge for 10min and it came back. Seems like it get stuck somewhere in the boot and needs to be reset, but without a removable battery you can't cut power. So if anyone runs across.this, leave it disconnected overnight(or maybe longer) until what ever state it is in kills the battery. Then plug it in and it may come back. My booted after being plugged in for 10min and turning it on using the power button
So I have the same problem with my device and am thinking about doing the same thing. What tools do I need in order to perform this?
I also have the same problem, is there any help?

So this worked for your hard bricked phone? And you had no more issues after?
