Phone won't turn on - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, phone was working fine this morning, a bit slow, but working. Went to check it at work and the screen wouldn't come on, nor would it turn on so I put it down to a dead battery.
Got home, plugged it in and no light was showing to show it was on charge, took the battery out, tried it that way as well, still nothing.
I'm going to assume the phone has just died on me or needs a new USB port (possibly) Any help is appreciated. I was on Resurrection ROM, LP (I think)
Any help would be great!
Edit, just plugged it into my computer and my computer picks the phone up, but it isn't shown in windows explorer, odd. Still no screen, charging or LEDS either.

USB it says "QHUSB_BULK" Assuming the phone is bricked now, no warranty and it's bootloader unlocked so it'd be void sadly.

Some peoples have claim obtaining waranty even with bl unlock..
if u were flashing roms and this happend id say try hardbrick fix.
But i would atleast try sending it in. Dont brag about the bl unlocked and they may do it. If not u decline paying for service and theyll send it back.

I'll have a look into that. No, I didn't do any sort of roms on the phone for over a year, just wouldn't turn on suddenly

[Q] Desire doesn't charge and won't boot up

Hey guys,
Last week I was at the bar taking a picture from some nice girls, unfortanly my Desire slipped from my hand an fell pretty hard on the floor. It was off an didn't boot. After a night without the battery, the next day it booted and worked for an week, no problems at all. Yesterday my phone shutted off again and now I can't boot it at all again, left it the whole night at the charger, but that didn't seem to help, ive searched the forums but nothing helped. The strange thing is, that it worked for an week and now it doesn't anymore. Does someone knows a proper solution for this, my phone is rooted and RCMixHD 2.0 is running on it. help?
Ok, I found out that I still have warranty at my provider! But, do they start whining if they found out my phone has an custom rom?

Hi.
I think that more than for sure there will be problems if they are able to find that you have ROOT-ed your phone since this breaks the warranty. Anyway try leaving it without battery in for a day and see if this can make the phone boot up. You could also try another battery, if you have a friend with the same phone or you are able to go to a store and ask to try out a battery to see if that is the problem.
If that is your problem you can, I think go to warranty and say that your problem is the battery.
It would be recommended that you run a RUU if you are to go to warranty. If they find out you messed with the phone I think your warranty will be gone forever.
If the battery is not the problem, then I think you can't do anything, since your phone doesn't even boot up, but go to warranty and pray that they wont examine too deep and see the root.
Still I have one curiosity: the led is still showing that you are charging the phone (the orange, green led)?

Thanx for your reply, I tried another battery but that didn't help . The led doesnt show up if I put an charger in it (tried with different chargers/cables the phone isnt doing anything. The last time it stopped working I didn't use the phone for about 8 hours, and after that I booted and worked fine for an week. So hopefully he wil work again this evening so I can make him stock again for warranty.

Hi.
As it sounds, it could be a motherboard problem, or the usb connection on the phone, or anything else, but since it isn't working with any battery then it is surely from the motherboard.
Hope it starts one more time so you can bring it to stock.
Even if this fails, there's nothing else to try but getting it to warranty and cross fingers.
Good luck.

[Q] Phone wont turn on

Hey everyone, the LG Optimus G phone in question is my girls phone and after she got out of work she tried to charge it but it ended up dying. After we got home we put it on her charger that came in the box with the phone and no led lights came on. So we tried to connect it to my HTC One charger and again nothing. I even tried to connect it to the laptop and nothing. Basically I havent gotten any sign of life from this phone and would like to ask this community for your help. Its no trouble to go to the store and asked for a new phone but I cant replace the music and photos that have been taken over time. If there are any cmd commands I can run to get it to turn on or at least give me a few minutes to get the data inside that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think I know your problem but answers these first.
Can you get the Hardware keys to flash when you attempt to power on the device, either plugged into charger or not?
Did the phone get really hot when the device was charging and after it died?
If you phone isnt rooted and unlocked ignore this: If you have lgnpst, attempt to go into download mode, and flash teenybin, and see if you can get to recovery or boot into ROM.
The OG has a problem I like to call super drain. Your battery is so low the device won't power on, and a hardware reset is needed (pulling the battery). The good thing is you will still have your files if reset the battery, however depending on who you bought your warranty from, it may void it.

The hardware keys wouldn't flash at all plugged in or not. From what I recall the phone hasn't overheated at all either. But my phone is rooted and unlocked so ill look into the lgnpst when I come back home (2 hours.)

If her phone isnt unlocked, its probably battery drain which means battery removal to hard reset the phone( if you want the files). Did you buy a sprint warranty or a bestbuy warranty, or even some other warranty? If you are willing to lose the files on the phone, you can go straight to lgnpst. Join the optimus g irc. They can help you out.

Edit: so from what i understand, her phone is stock correct? And when you were saying "my phone is unlocked" you were referring to your htc right?

As far as i know all OG's And ya, wont be an issue with BB warranty. If her phone is unlocked, try tinybin first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230106
If you really cant get into download mode, its probably the battery. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22l8E92528
Also, to prevent this from happening again, tell her to keep her battery above 15-20% , as its better for it, and to just turn of her device if her batt gets to 5% or below. Basically this phone has bad battery power reporting, and it may say 5% but its actually 1 and it uses self to the point the hardware thinks there is something wrong. Also, i suggest not charging the device when its off if thats what she did. Its acts wonky for somepeople, idk why.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk
I disconnected the battery and had it sit for about 20min or so and when I connected it back nothing would happen. I tried going into download mode and nothing. But from what I recall doesn't tinybin need for me to be in download mode for it to work? I'm gonna take this phone back to best buy when I get it to work but all I want is our pictures and what not from the phone.

Downside of a phone without a microsd card slot. Probably for the future upload ALL pictures to the cloud if your phone doesn't have a micro sd card slot. Hardware failure = you lose your picture or it becomes expensive to fix.

Your best bet is go on the irc and ask for help. This may not be a battery issue. BTW, did you have the phone plugged into your PC? It must be plugged in to go into download mode.

[Q] Hard bricked, but...

Hi there, I hard bricked my Tab S 8.4. No reaction to anything I did (key combinations, let it charge for hours, stuff like that). Don't know how it happened but it just crashed to death shortly after installing an inofficial Lolloipop build from here. I don't think a ROM can make a device not turn on at all. My money is on hardware failure.
Anyway, brought it in for repairs (willing to pay since I knowingly voided the warranty). Got the call yesterday. They said the software had been tampered with and they can't repair it. I objected that the software won't break the hardware but no dice. They won't even do it for cold hard cash.
BUT: To see the 'illegal' software they HAD to get the thing to turn on . And if they got it to turn on somehow, so can I. Or... am I completely wrong there and they have some magic fairy dust?
Any ideas on how I could accomplish what the repair guys could obviously do? There is no important data or anything on it so I'd be happy with Odin mode, CWM or whatever.

I kindof had the same problem, but got mine repaired.
May I ask where you send it to for repairs? Was it Samsung or a local repair shop that told you they could not fix it?
And did they send it back to you? Kindof weird they won't fix your device after you say you are willing to pay for it.
Depending on where you live, Samsung covers a lot of 'problems' in the first year of the standaard warranty.
As for turning on the device..
What options have you tried yet?
If you connect the tablet with usb to your pc and turn it on, does it get recognized?
And if so, as what?
But if your screen doesn't turn on, you're probably going to need repairs anyway.

Over here you bring it back to the shop where you bought it. They will try the simplest solutions in house but usually send it back to the manufacturer. I think the information came from Samsung directly. Another theory I have is a simple lie. They tried it in house, nothing came up, some clever guy screamed 'CYANOGEN!' and they all high fived (I have a vivid imagination )
As for turning it on: tried everything. It's not only the screen, it did nothing at all. No signs of life whatsoever. Of course the PC wouldn't recognize it since it was turned off.
I'll pick it up tonight. Maybe whatever they did to see the software tampering stuck and it will at least go into Odin mode. I can work from there.

Magic dust it was. Got it back, dead. Came home a minute ago, put it on the charger. Lo and behold, the battery appears. Device turns on too, boots Lollipop goodness. 0 per cent battery but hey.

It simply reset itself after the battery completely died. Black screen and no response doesn't mean the device is off.
As soon as they switched it on they would have seen knox had been tripped.
Sort of did you a favour by telling you it wasn't bricked.
I had the same sort of problem i connected my tab to my laptop and used the recovery mode key combination then my tab came back to life

Comforts me while ROM developing that the only reported case of a hardbrick was here - and the battery just died.

hard bricked my phone

Hey Guys, long time reader never posted. I think i may have hard bricked my brand new 5X. I am not new to flashing ROMs I have had great sucess with my old Nexus5 for year (now I have to revert to that phone for now)
I was running Cyanogenmod then decided to try Catalysm. All was wokring fine and then i decide to just reflash to stock. I downloaded the correct factory image went into terminal like usual (linux) executed sudo ./flash-all in the correct folder and it went through the process in about a second then the phone turned off and my terminal screen said waiting for device. After waiting a while i tried turning the phone on got nothing. unplugged the phone tried volume down and power all the regular stuff to make the phone turn on. Plugging it into the charger shows nothing and I cant get into the bootloader.
I have never had an issue like this before I cant figure out flashing stock image would brick my phone? Am i totally screwed with warannty?
Thanks for any help gusy.
Maybe a to simple question.
How long was it ago? Maybe it's stick stuck in the loop with the screen off and maybe you have to wait it out.
If the phone dropped dead they can't even get into it to void your warranty, which I doubt they would do anyway. Let the phone sit for a little bit with it plugged in just so you can relax for a few minutes. Just hold the power button until it turns on. If it won't turn on at all then contact Google for a replacement device.

This just happened about an hour or so ago. Well i was thinking the same thing with the phone looping and no screen but it doesnt feel warm like its on. Also adb devices doesnt list it as on although i would imagine boot looping it would not see the device. Ive tried letting it charge for about a half hour with no luck. should I try letting it sit over night on the charger or off the charger in case its looping and i need it to die eventually?
I just reflashed the stock firmware on my old nexus 5 with no issues, its working fine i did that to make sure it wasnt an error i made.
Interesting, did you check the md5?,
I've never had success with flashall.bat it never worked, I end up extracting the archive and read the commands in flashall.bat and do it manually, worked for me,
When connected to pc does the pc drivers come up and disconnect due to device unplugged?( not sure if it displays on linux

I just figured out what happened. I flashed the nexus 5 flash-all rather then the nexus 5x (wow really dumb mistake). I found the hammerhead folder in the nexus5x folder i flashed from.
Now what?
If you can't get the phone to turn on you're out of luck.
Hey had something simmilar that my phone blank and unresponsive. No turning off. But maybe battery gone empty? try to leave phone longer under changer like for 1-2h or so. ANd the red led should be on showing phone battery gone full empty.

You need to read the flashall.bat and see what the first commands were, as I think the bootloader maybe the first
Sorry but I doubt it will come back to life, if it bricked at fastboot flash bootloader, then reboot and failed to turn on to flash the rest,
It may need jtag service or you need to find something similar to this post below

Sounds about right, that thread is for lg g2 and was just for display purpose, I not 100% sure if you can go through lg process on lg nexus,
Since the phone is also new I have not found any information on emmc fix.
You will have to go here and see if you can get help, but I think it will be some time till its released/leaked, you may have to pay to get it serviced.sorry about your Christmas present

Let Google know what happened, they're usually pretty good with that stuff and will probably let you RMA it. Google generally expects people to root their device, even though damaging the device while doing so is not technically covered under warranty they will probably help you out.
If 1 rep says no, call back and try another one. You can find countless examples online of people in your situation who Google helped out. Good luck!
Thanks guys
Thanks for all the help guys, I really apprecaite it, this site is really a great site full of people who want to help. ( im used to car forums where people call you an idiot any chance they get).
Ill post back if google did in fact help me out I will just wait for monday as I want to make sure if the phone is on for some reason with a weird screenless boot loop it has time to die and I can make sure I cant get it to boot myself.
Great news!! LG has repaired my phone and said they sent it back to me today. I have not confirmed it to be working as its in the mail but was told the phone has been repaired. So all you guys that do this while still under factory warranty can have your phone repaired by LG direct. Don't bother with google they can't repair it.

So I guess that means it was so damaged even LG's equipment couldn't read any software/firmware details from the phone. Lucky for you. Just curious, what excuse did you give LG to make them think it wasn't caused by a software modification?
That's just it I was 100% honest and told them I accidentally flashed the nexus 5 image rather then the 5x image and bootloader was first on the flashall script. The girl who took the initial call didn't understand what I was saying so she typed exactly what I told her in the notes. I have to assume LG has a facotry cable that can flash the correct bootloader in seconds and the phone is back to new again.
really happy with LG service!!!!!

Hi folks,
I own a LG G4 AT&T version. Today, after charging to to 100%, I'd been using it normally, texting my friend. After taping the send button, I placed my G4 nearby and continued doing other stuff. & after sometime when I picked it up and double tapped the screen, it just didn't responded.
I pressed back button, I tried plugging charging cable to see whether LED is working or not, that was not working. I pushed out the battery and then put it back and tried turning on again and nothing happened at all. Its like still. Not responding at all. I tried the volume and power button combinations, tried hard reset, even tried connecting to PC and LG UP was unable to recognize, though it has all the necessary drivers installed.
I'm stuck badly, it was my daily driver, no warranty or official support in Pakistan, unfortunately.
is there any way at all to get it working or I should digest the bitter fact that its no more and move on?
Thanks.

It does sound like a bootloop issue. Mine packed up last week and it is now on the way to LG repair centre here in UK. I was taking photos and put my phone into the pocket and when i took out I couldn't even turn it on. The phone was totally dead. However taking the battery out, putting it back in and trying to start the phone for numerous times it did eventually get into booting but of course it never goes past it due to motherboard failure. Try connecting to the charger and leave it for some time and maybe you'll get to boot screen but one thing for sure is that you can say all your data goodbye no matter how sad it is and LG bastards do not take any responsibility for it apart from replacing motherboard if it is within warranty.
