Can someone *please* help me fix this Note 4??
A while back I flashed Emotion Kernel to gain root and the phone worked fine for a few months then just died on me completely.
It doesn't turn on at all, I can not get into safe mode, bootloader, etc. I pulled the battery & held the power button, re-inserted battery and got nothing...Tried different Samsung stock/fast chargers-nothing....I tried everything I could find with no results.
If anybody has had this problem and fixed the phone please let me know. Thanks.
Bad battery, maybe

Could be bad battery or hard bricked.
Try new battery or if that didn't help then have a look at link below to fix hard bricked note 4.

Note 4 batteries are dying for lots of people anywhere from 18 months to just over 2 years, and the symptom is often fail to boot, boot loops, etc. As piggynuts said in another thread, it's not logical, but it's true.
It happened to me, and when I replaced the battery, everything was fine. I've read comments on other sites where it has happened to multiple people, and they solved it by replacing the battery.

I've searched & searched thru XDA without any luck or finding someone with a similar situation.
My GNEX is unlocked, rooted & running AOKP 36.
I hung up the phone after a call...locked it...put it in my pocket...took it out a few minutes later and the phone would not turn on. My battery was over 50%, so i thought i pocket-powered the phone down.
The phone does not boot into any mode. I've tried them all. It is not recognized by my Mac or PC. Here are the things i've done so far: Battery pull. Charge overnight. Removed battery overnight. I bought a new battery & i'm still having the same problem.
Any ideas before i call Verizon and take the loss? I would really like to recover my pictures & videos.
Thanks in advance.
So you have tried to boot into recovery by holding down power and the volume buttons?
If not try this to get to recovery to do a restore.

If you tried this, then you might need to send it in.
Thanks for the reply, but i've tried that already. I'm out of ideas...it's unresponsive.

Do you have another battery or friend with a gnex? My girls died completely while plugged in over night. I got another battery and it fired up.
Needless to say a clean install was the next step.

Also hold down power button for awhile. And also try.with a different battery.
...
I bought a new battery from Verizon and tried it, but its still unresponsive. I charged both batteries overnight and nothing happens.
I've held all buttons for several minutes with both batteries, but nothing happens. It wont boot and it won't boot into recovery/bootloader/hard reset menu, etc (android with stomach open LOL)
On a few occasions, when i connect to my PC, it says new hardware detected OMAP 4440 (or something like that) & asks to install drivers. I have the Gnex toolkit, but the program does NOT detect my phone.
Thanks for the replies.
This happened to my fiance's vzw gnex. She was on stock though. Just surfing the web and it turned off. Dead as can be. She took it back and they gave her a new one.

Oh.. Man you lost the bootloader.... If you have warranty go ask for a replacement, it's a pain trying to get the phone back up..
They won't know the phone its unlocked since it won't turn on
Nexus Cm9 + Franco

Try this?
Can't hurt...
My Nexus is from Verizon & the tutorial you linked is for the GSM version. Do you think it matters?
I will still give it a shot. Thanks!
Did you check the pin area where the battery connects? Are the pins in good condition or any small foreign object around them?
If you're careful you can *maybe* odin it back to stock (you've already lost the pics tho).
Look in the dev area for any odin threads.....links to files and stuff are in there.

Thanks for the link. I installed the drivers, phone was detected, ran thru the program, but it failed at the very end. I think its because my phone is i515 & not GSM version.
I've given up hope. Time to get a replacement. I hope it never boots and they don't find out its unlocked & rooted.
I appreciate everyone's input.
Thanks!
a friend mine has a similar problem..
phone died without reason
where i can download the drives that you made mention?
i'll suggest him to try that .bat file
I need help my galaxy nexus is not turning on. At first it would start charging when connected to a charger and i was able to turn on my phone(although it would not go past the google screen) but as soon as i disconnected my charger the phone would turn off(even though battery was nearly full).I performed all the wipes but it was of no help.My phone then stopped even charging.Now I cant even get it into recovery mode.
I would apreciate any and all help you can offer
Have you already tried swapping the battery ? Because I once was in a similar situation and changing the battery worked for me.

the battery is fine i have tried another battery but it didnt work
Not so long ago i tried to be the boss and took another guy's i9000 to install CM10 for him, i nailed it, it installed and it was working perfectly fine, then after several reboots the phone got stuck in a bootloop, then it got stuck in recovery, then it got stuck on the samsung logo, and then it just died.(stopped charging) like having literally a brick in your hand, no response.
If you've done alot of mods to the phone I'm guessing something inside died, get your phone to warranty and say you cant turn it on, they'll just change the motherboard and give you the phone back, if you had any custom roms they will never know.
my phone has no warranty that i could claim so my only option is to somehow fix my gnex

Well as i said, you have probably damaged physically some component on the motherboard, it needs to be changed so you can't fix it, find a Service that fixes android devices and tell em it doesn't boot nor makes a reaction at all, they'll prolly say they will change the motherboard if they have one and thats it.
*Edit*
I remember there was a thing called "jtag" that was able to debrick devices broken in such ways. But Rarely do services have them.
Try fastboot, download mode or omap

Okay before i get bashed yes I have searched the threds and yes I found the issue but the solution did not apply to my case, So I do appoligize if this for any reason is not the right place and will be happy with any mod that feels necessary to move my thread
That being said, I came across a t-mobile galaxy S3 t-999 the phone is not rooted, has not had any physical damage and does not have water damage and no update was attempted, the occurrence was random with nothing being done, just shut off and wouldn't turn back on. The battery has been swapped with another S3 to confirm there is no battery issue. The cord has also been swapped.
Now the problem
The phone turns off after a couple seconds and does not boot
My initial thought was to first try a factory reset and if that didn't work to re-flash stock with odin.
Well recovery also turns on for 2 seconds and shuts right off.
Download mode? Yupp you got it same thing
cant reflash with odin because it won't stay in download mode
The only thing i seemed to find thats remotely close to this is a stuck power button and the solution seems to be slamming the phone on the table
However this is NOT the problem in my case
The slam method has been attempted as well as the remvoval of the power button, Plus after each time it shuts off It will NOT turn back on until I remove the battery which is when i get that glorious 2 seconds followed by it turning right off. Thats why i made a new post rather then posting this question there, but if I shouldn't have Im sorry The mod can remove it and i will be happy to repost it there.
If anyone can help me please do, because at this point my face looks like thank you.

I think you already know the answer. Seems to me that you've done everything possible. Were you on 4.1.2?
Can you call T-Mo or Samsung and Check Warranty Coverage on the IMEI ? They may ask for Serial Number instead.
Not actually my device

Yea thats what i was afraid of, I actually don't know the version it was on prior, to be honest this isn't my device I actually run a small time craigslist base business generally rooting peoples phones and installing roms and fixing softbricks, someone asked me if I can help them and i thought it would be a simple softbrick issue until I actually got a hold of the phone and saw this issue now i think its hardware problem but i thought id ask my good friends at xda before completely giving up

Hello,
It's been a while since I've used my Note II N7100 because 1. it's stopped working (not sure why, I wasn't attempting to root it) and 2. I purchased the Note 3 shortly after the Note II killed over.
Here's what's going on:
Every time I press the power button to turn the phone on the only thing that happens is a single red flash to the left of the front camera. The screen doesn't come on at all. Any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?
What I've done:
1. removed the battery and held the power button for 60 seconds, put the battery back in and I get the same thing as stated above.
2. left the phone alone for about 3-4 months and I just plugged the phone back in this morning. hopefully someone knows how to fix this and I can work on doing so myself later today.
I've done some reading around on related links here that were suggested per my subject line but I hadn't had any luck. I wouldn't mind getting this thing back up and running and giving it to my dad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you should first try and rule out a dead battery
Hi guys, I really need the power of the internet now. My googling powers have let me down, and now there's only you guys left to help me!!
I got a Lg g3, and i've enjoyed it for a while. I have experiemented a little with it (rooting and installing roms) and it's about 2 years old i think.
And now, the wierdest problem that I really can't understand, i'll try to explain as good as i can!
It all started a couple of days ago, my phone just rebooted as soon as I started up Snapchat. After a day, this reboot appeared more frequently, and yesterday I gave up. The thing is, as long as it's charging, it works fine, all of the programs. But when I woke up this morning, it's completely ruined.... i see the LG startup screen, and then the lock screen. As soon as i touch the screen, it restarts again!
I've tried factory reset and wiping data and stuff.... If any more information is required, i'll provide it as soon as possible!
I believe in you guys, help me out!
I thought about overheating, but since it works while charging, i ruled that out, right?

So, your phone its ok while on charging right?
Guess it's time to buy a new battery...
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
u sure it's the battery? cause it works a bit better right now. How can i check if it's the battery that's the flaw? it's so wierd that it just got more and more random reboots....
That sounds like the battery as it was the expect problem I had 6 months ago with a battery that was about the same age as yours. I found that my battery had started to swell, very big problem with lithium batteries when they go bad. If you take your battery out and look at it side on there should be no bulging anywhere on the battery, if you see any bulging then stop using it until you can get a replacement.
At the time my phone would work fine when plugged in but would constantly reboot when on battery power.
It seems like that's not the problem, right now it's working fine. I checked the battery and no swellings at all! Could there be any other reason for my phone to act out the way it did/does sometime still?
Did the rebooting start at a particular battery level? Reason I ask is that my spare battery is now showing the same symptoms, but only when lower than 55%, phone will reboot and immediately be at 15%. I pulled the battery out and could feel slight raises along it, not enough to see but I could feel it when compared to my other battery.

Dear Taynor, Try flashing stock firmware of your device. If you suspect your device battery, then first replace it and check whether rebooting issue is still there. Otherwise, flashing stock firmware resolve many issues. Use kdz with LG Flash tool 2014. It is easy to flash firmwares with LG Flash Tool 2014.
