I have an ATT Tilt 2, approx 7 months old. I was running the EnergyROM, but I forget which one. This morning, the battery died, I plugged it in too charge on my laptop. I got a dialog box that said the charging power was insufficient to run the device, and it turned itself off. I let it be for a while (hour or so) then tried to reboot. It would not respond to the power button, so I hit the red reset button with my stylus. It booted, but not successfully. The phone got caught in what I can only describe as a loop. It would start the boot animation, then fail. It would stay turned off for a few minutes, then spontaneously try to boot again.
I held down the reset button again........nothing. Power button.......nothing. So then I tried to wipe it, using my micro SD card. I was able to get the phone into bootloader mode, and told it to apply the update by pressing the volume key. However, it still loops, except now it goes into the bootloader, except there is an error message in the bootloader screen, buried under the text. FWIW I am using the Olinex HardSPL.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
EDIT: This only happens when it is plugged in. When it is on battery, it is completely unresponsive. No power button, no reset button, nothing. All i get is the amber charge light

That means the phone is NOT charging the battery. Did you try using another USB cable? If so, did you try another battery? If you tried that too and it still doesn't work, that may mean that the charging circuit is dead and you will have to either get that one repaired or get a new phone

Try charging it from the wall plug. Your laptop port is not putting out enough power. Let it charge until the green light comes on.

So I take it it never worked when on the wall charger?
Hi everyone,
As the title says, my phone simply will not boot past the samsung logo. I insert the battery, a few seconds later there is a vibration. Then the samsung logo appears, and it shuts down. It does not reboot itself; it just suddenly dies. After it the shutdown, all buttons are unresponsive; holding the power button will do nothing.
I have tried plugging in the charger both with and without the battery inside the phone. When I plug in the charger, the red LED that indicates that it is charging turns on. After a few seconds it vibrates, then almost immediately the red LED light flickers off, and everything is just as unresponsive as before. Leaving the charger inside will yield no results or change.
I have tried to turn my phone on with the battery and charger plug into the phone with a few variations. First, charger first, then battery. The battery is inserted within a second or two of plugging in the charger. The red LED light appears, then the light turns off right before the vibration. The screen shows the battery logo that indicates the phone is charging. This image appears for a few seconds, then it becomes unresponsive as before. Second, battery first, then charger. There are two more variations for this. One is battery, then plugging in the charger right after the battery is put in (before the vibration is felt). After the vibration, the battery logo appears for a few seconds before it shuts down and becomes unresponsive again. The second variation is: battery first, then vibration, then right after the charger. Same result as before.
I have also tried to remove both sim card and sd card. No avail.
I have tried to boot it into recovery mode, as well as download mode. Nevertheless, the phone will shut down before getting into any menus.
I have tried to tap the power button multiple times in case the power button and home button were stuck or jammed. However, I doubt this is the problem.
My computer will not recognize my phone, since I cannot boot it past the samsung logo.
I have tried using different batteries, same issue.
I am aware that a factory reset may be an option that I may have to take, but I have some important data on my phone that is not backed up, and I would very much prefer not to lose it all. I would appreciate any insight on how to fix my problem.
Thanks!
Mine was doing this for a bit until I realized my power button was stuck. The button seemed to press fine and all and looked fine physically, but the contact was somehow stuck. Take apart the phone, direct some compressed air into it using the little 'straw' for the nozzle to focus it... Also try pressing the button a bunch of times hard, etc. And see if that helps.

Fixed it! Opened it up, jiggled around with the power button stuff. I had no idea what I was doing. I blew, with my mouth, really hard on it. Now it works. laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwll
You helped! Thankyou
Now would be a good time to backup that important data. A lot of the time, that's is just a temporary fix and it may happen again.

3 days ago on my b-day I charge my phone only to power it on and have it immediately shut off on me. I plug it into charger and it was still fully charged so i turn on agian and it does the same thing it will just immediately turn off on me. Now its gotten to the point where when i try to power it on the word google pops up and it brightens after abotu 3 seconds then phone turns off and continue to charge. The phone battery indicates it is fully charged however it wont turn on. May i remind you my volume down button does not work so i can not Volume keys and Power button reboot. Plz help
I wonder if the hardware has broken somehow? If just the power button broke, this post says to remove the battery, plug phone into computer, then insert battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rnative-to-t1731128/post65166854#post65166854
If only the software has broken somehow, maybe you can flash a new ROM from the beginning using one of the nexus toolkit apps which automate everything for you.
I'm on n a sprint s9.
So I was out and my phone started to ring. Before I could answer it the screen went dark and my phone died.
Phone would not turn back on and trying to reset with volume down + power wouldent work either.
Got home and plugged it in. Gauge went to 50% immediatley and was able to power phone back on.
Went through boot up and now I'm typing this.
So I had kept my oneplus3 on charge at around 10:00 Pm yesterday and fell asleep. Woke up around 12:00pm to see it was fully charged so I unplugged the charger kept the phone beside me and went to sleep. Today when I woke up I saw that the phone has a black screen and is completely dead. The LED light is not on. Plugged into the charger no response. Tried holding power button ..nothing. No vibrations or home button lights
Currently, there is nothing going on with the phone. No flashes on screen no LED. Absolutely nothing. Tried connecting to laptop (windows 10) dont see anything. It was working perfectly fine last night and i had used it for nothing but music then.
Question is.. is the phone hard bricked or completley bricked? what might be the reason? I searched youtube only to find 1 person with similar problem who had said that he kept the phone for 48 hours and when it was completely discharged he pluged in charger again and it started working.
I am confused. Have a lot of work documents inside and what if it stays the same after 48 hours?
Appreciate any help on the matter
update: Tried plugging in the charger a few min ago. The led turns red and Vibrates. Nothing else
Update 2: so after 24 hours of setting the phone aside. i plugged the charger and it went into charging. But now am facing a new problem. My bootloader is unlocked and the power button is busted hence whenever I press volume down and plug-in the charger it takes me to bootloader warning screen from where either it goes into charge or i press volume key and it goes into option which I again cant select cause power button is busted. Tried holding down the power button and connect to laptop(windows 10) no device detected and it works like normal charging. Tried to charge for a few minutes unpluged charger and start again .. it was stuck on oneplus screen. Any ideas??
