[Q] Blue light, Nothing else goes on!

I know there must be somewhere in the thread but i can't find one with the same problem as mine. I was in middle of odin to put my phone back to stock. and it was stuck for over a half hr at the same place. so i unplugged it and tried to put it back on but it wont go the only thing that turns on is the blue light. i already tried the jig. its a no go. how can i unbrick this phone?

My phone has shut itself off then when i try to turn it back on i get nothing but a blue light what worked for me was taking the battery out for a couple minutes then trying it again. Have you tried that?

That happened to me when the phone first came out. Only a blue light came on and nothing else. Even the jig didn't work. I ended up just selling it and buying a new one. I hope someone has figured out a way to fix it for you

You have hard bricked your phone most likely. Like it was said, you can try to remove the battery for a few minutes to see if resetting the capacitors will fix it but I am ninety nine percent sure that it will not work. You have two options.
1) Play dumb at a sprint store
2) JTAG repair from mobiletechvideos
What you have done is flashed over the bootloader so you can no longer boot it or plug it into the computer. Can you post a link to the file that you flashed? My guess is that you flashed an i9000 tar and PIT which is not compatible with the E4GT. Not all Galaxy S2 phones are the same. In fact, they are all different.

I did the exact same thing when I first rooted my phone but by the grace of god odin still recognized it so I was able to flash back to stock.

That my friend is exactly right. Your cell is gone... Swap or jtag is your only options.

I am going to give the, "taking the battery out for a couple of min", a shot... I was afraid that those two were my last options. The phone is maybe 2 months old and I am not with sprint anymore. Is there a way to claim through warranty or something?

Good question... I do believe that there is a one year manufacturer warranty, but don't know how you would go about making a claim. I would definitely recommend the jtag service its only like $50. Even sprint would charge you $35 to swap if you were still with the m. So if you look at out that way $15 more ain't so bad.

Remove battery. Replace. Plug into charger. Does the batt charging screen come on? If so hold power until it boots. Done. Do your happy dance.. If no charge indication = brick.

The batt recharge didnt come on ill see if i can somehow claim by samsung if not then ill have to send it in to jtag

Dude that's a bummer. Good luck. Hwy keep us updated on how it turns out.

This same thing happened to me!
What did you end up doing?

This happened to me too, but after flashing gunslinger kernel. I did a battery pull, then it let me boot into recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

same thing happened to me, went back to best buy where i got it and said "i dont know what happened", got a new one on the spot.
On top of it, when i got it at best buy they price matched amazon mobile, so i got it for 130

I Also bought it from Best Buy! But it was two months ago... You think i can still do it by them?

After an hour of searching forums I had realized that the phone was dead and wasn't coming back on. I too had the same blue light problem, couldn't get into recovery, couldn't do anything with the black screen. I took it to Sprint, and they don't have the capability of turning it back on in store. I believe this needs to be done by Samsung, and I imagine Best Buy wouldn't be able to either. The tech told me if he could not repair it, it would be replaced. My concern was the ship time and getting a refurbished unit. He told me because the phone was so new they are almost always replaced with a new unit. He said it was $35 because I didn't have insurance, but to "Come back after an hour, and if I can't fix it and it is insured it will be replaced free of charge." I went home, had Sprint add insurance, went back to the store a couple hours later. They swapped out my unit for a brand new one, free of charge, in about 5 minutes, activated and all. I was very pleased with how everything went as I was PISSED at myself for bricking my phone so bad! In all my years of hacking Palm Pres and Evos I never bricked a phone so bad that it couldn't be powered back on! But now I have a new GS2 (ROOTED )!
I recommend just trying a Sprint Repair Center. I bought mine over the phone. I played dumb and said that I let it die completely, which I rarely do, and when I charged it the blue light went on and it never powered back up. They said that was weird but gave no qualm about it. Hope this helps..

[Q] Replacement Phone Questions

My Battery port on my phone seems to be messed up. The orange light is on to show a charge but it looks like it isn't gaining any juice.
Weird because last night it was charging fine, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Anyway, I'm wondering how the whole process to try and get a replacement phone works. I have been looking to purchase a new phone anyway, and this is just giving me a better reason to get one.
If anyone has gone through this process before can you please share what you did?
I more or less want to know if I am about to get raped by Big Red or if I am going to need to buy a brand new phone outright.

I am wondering if the script I installed to improve battery life is causing this issue. I actually turned my phone off to see if it would charge up and it is, just EXTREMELY slow.
I am just speculating right now and trying to narrow down the issue. I know charge ports are an issue for this phone, I am just hoping I don't need to go that route.

Try a different charger. Yours may have went bad.
As far as the exchange, do you have insurance? If not how long have you had your phone and where did you buy it? Also did you buy it new or refurb?

I have tried multiple chargers and get the same result. Sometimes it will charge, but most times not.
I have no insurance on in, and it is under a year old. I bought it brand new.

Of it is under a year old then just call Verizon. Tell them your phone won't take charge. They will replace it for free with a manufacture refurbished incredible 2.

I just replaced my phone (it was under one year as well) by calling verizon and telling them it wouldn't charge ... it's a known problem w/ our phones. They replaced it for free (as long as you return your old phone w/in 5 business days). i unrooted and put my phone to s-on again before i returned it. good luck!

[Q] How to find T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 is refurbished

Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from T-Mobile. I got a problem with that it switched off automatically and did not turned on. When I took that to store, they removed the back case, removed the battery and put it back. It started to work fine. But they processed an exchange.
I received a exchange device without back case and battery. They wanted me to use the back case and battery from old device and send back the old device.
I am not sure if it is a refurbished device or not. how to find it out? I tried with #RTN# and LaunchPro methods. nothing worked out.
Appreciate the help..
Thanks

Not necessarily, if there havent been enough returns to be refurbished yet, because its only been out a short time, they will send out new ones in plain packaging.

I asked the customer care and asked if it is a refurbished one. They told it is a brand new one. As long as it does not cause any problem, I am fine. But it is nice to find if it is refurbished or not.
And also, since they did not send the battery, I cannot move the data, contacts and files from old phone to new phone.
Is there any way to take backup of my old phone to computer like we do for iPhone?

Er, turn old phone on with battery, plug it into a USB port. Any powered USB port. Leaving it plugged in, remove the battery. Phone will stay on. Turn new phone on. there, you got two 'on' phones.
I'd use Titanium Backup to get all data from old one to new one, personally. but I'm sure there's other methods out there. :good:

Refurb units have a tendency to crap out early and have issues. I have had two refurb phones, a RAZR and an HTC windows phone.
The battery sucks on the RAZR, worse than it should. It overheats frequently and I used to get screen temperature warnings while watching a video or playing a game.
The HTC's screen never did work quite right, and then it started making phantom calls after a couple of months.
I've heard almost every refurb unit has some sort of issue.
And, besides, if you had just bought a $700 phone, wouldn't you want a new one to replace the one you just bought,.

Did you bother to read terms? Clearly states keep your cover and battery. T-mobile has always done this...nothing new.
And as stated, if you can't tell what's the difference?

Bunk. Depends on who's doing the refurbishing. I've had many refurb electronics and they've worked at least as well as new ones. If it's a refurb from a manufacturer then it's gone through another round of QA testing and is likely to have a lower failure rate overall than new units.
As I said, if you can't tell the difference then it doesn't matter. If it's obviously used then that's another matter.

It greatly depends on what brand the device is. For example most of my home electronics are refurbished since they cost half the price. My wife's iPod is refurbished and I couldn't tell the difference if you put an gun to my head.
But an HTC phone on the other hand? Never again would I accept a refurbished HTC device. I had a MyTouch4G go bad and need to be replaced. T Mobile sent me a refurbished one. That broke. New refurbished one. Broken out of the box. Another refurbished one, bad screen. Another refurbished one, the camera wasn't physically installed. Then they gave me a brand new Sensation because of the trouble. It was a nightmare because HTC does a crappy job of returning their stuff.
It also depends on why the unit is refurbished. If you return a phone they can't sell it as new, even if nothing is wrong with it. So they check it out and make sure its all working then they call it refurbished. That phone is probably fine. But if its a warrant replacement because something is broken, the manufacturer might do a crappy job of fixing it. You don't want that one.
But all refurbs go in the same pile so there is no way to know if you got a return or a formally broken one.

[Q] Battery dead?

Hello, my Verizon One won't seem to charge. The other day I woke up, used my phone till it was at about 85%, then topped it off back to 100% before I left as I was going to be on the road most of the day. When I took it off the charger I noticed it was a bit warm, not excessively so but noticeable. A couple of minutes later (it had been off the charger) I noticed it was getting hotter. I restarted it hoping for the problem to sort itself out. Maybe 30 minutes later the battery had dipped to 25% and the phone was very warm. I started to get worried and turned it off. Hoping that would at least postpone the problem I put it aside and didn't mess with it. About another half hour later I picked up the phone to see if it had cooled off, only to find that it was even hotter! I got very worried and actually had to hold an ice cube to the back of the phone because I'd heard of bad things happening to overheating phones. That seemed to solve the problem and the battery seemed to have finally run out because it didn't heat up anymore. I got home and tried to charge it to no avail. The thing seems to be completely dead. I was running CM 11 but I hadn't messed with any processor settings. I thought it would be a software issue because of the beta version of CM but idk after it continued to overheat after it was shut down. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, if I should just send it to HTC support let me know. I've been reluctant to contact them since the phone is rooted and all...

I have heard to place the phone under a light with the charging cord hooked up. I know it sounds weird but people says it works. I have heard nothing but horror stories about cm11 and refuse to run that Rom. From issues that you describe to it breaking the lte radio and having to flash an ruu to get it working again. There are so many other Roms that are real good.

Before all this CM11 worked great. No lag and everything seemed to work fine minus a couple occasional glitches. Could it be the ROM as it continued to heat when turned off?

I've had the phone on the charger for about a day now, no sign of life. What will happen if I send it to HTC support?

Where did you get the phone? Most likely if from Verizon you can contact their customer support line, tell them it isn't charging and they'll send you a refurb. I just don't mention to them that the phone is rooted and they have always exchanged mine without issue.

There's no harm in calling Verizon tech support, telling them your problem and asking for a replacement device. The worst they can say is no. But then you'd have other options. I don't see them telling you no. I had an issue with a phone a got off Craigslist and they replaced it. I didn't tell them I wasn't the original owner but it was only a few months old and shouldn't matter anyway. They didn't even ask tho.

The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago and I have been terrified to send it in to HTC or use my Squaretrade replacement program for fear they would figure out it was rooted and send me back my broken device with a voided warranty.
Finally I took it into verizon yesterday and they are now sending me a new one in the mail.
I have to send them my broken one after I receive the new one and I'm afraid they might detect its rooted and charge me the $600 for the new device they sent me.
Anyone gone through something similar?

I bought my HTS One from Viva Mobil too, and it clearly was shipped by Verizon.
Three weeks ago, it stopped booting or charging. I walked into a local VZW store and they couldn't wake it either, so they couldn't see I had rooted the phone. They ordered a warranty replacement for me.
I doubt that they're going to bother to see what ROM is on the returned unit..

Just got back from the VZW store, they took it but said "if any software manipulation was detected" I would be charged $300 for the refurb phone. Better than $600 but I'm kinda worried.

I believe this is associated with running a non sense based rom on the phone. There was another guy who had his phone overheat and speakers blown when he was running AOSP, and I know the overheating thing happened to multiple people. I feel like for some reason it's too risky to run AOSP because of these horror stories so if I want an AOSP feel I'll just run a GPE rom with xposed to tweak it how I like. Never had bad luck since, and I predict I won't have any in the future since these roms are made for our hardware by HTC themselves.

Are there Apps that would put the Note & at risk by heating up? Should we beware?

i have had the N7 for a few days now. first thing I did was turn of fast charging. I also only use the wireless charging. To this day it remains really cool to the touch after charging fully.
However, I was using my Note 7 yesterday, with the gps on in the car for the first time, when it got really hot. I didn't realise it until I got to my destination. Worse, it was sitting on a vent holder with the aircon on in the car. I had to shut it down immediately. Hence my question, are there other apps, gps, etc that create a lot of heat? Even VR use did not make it that hot!!

Why are you still using? Your question is silly. This phone is in recall mode. Stop using it.

I'm using mine, I dont have any problems with it, it never gets up to past 38C fast charging 3.0 + intense gaming, performance is amazing no lag or shutter even in pornhub with multi window. I cant complain about anything with this unit, I'm afraid they would actually send me a device that doesn't run as well as this one. I love this damn thing!

I'm still using mine, keeping an eye on temps but haven't had any reason to be alarmed. Still quick charge it with no excess heat to speak of and wireless charge (slow) next to the bed. I'm going to look into my options with T-Mobile regarding the recall, but if I have to use an upgrade or pay in any way I'm most likely going to keep using the device. I dont' want to run the risk of getting a unit as a loaner, and then cracking the screen on that unit and getting ****ed in the end. I'm not going to pay additional cost to get a case for a loaner phone if it comes down to it, I may just ride it out.
Edit: confirmed that the loaner device would have to be returned in like new condition. Since I don't want to spend money on a case, for a phone I have absolutely no intention of keeping, I may just keep an eye on the heat of the phone, and ride it out.

The hottest my phone has gotten, like most modern phones, is the initial setup process. It's like a one legged man at an ass kicking contest.. Downloading, setting up this, installing that. I've used every charger I have and it's been fine... I still fast charge this phone. Now, I dont leave it alone while charging but truthfully you shouldn't with ANY charging device. At least this may stop some charging complacency we all have at times....

Mine also never got too hot until today. I've just received the mi vr playset so I had to try it. When i removed the phone from the vr pouch it was almost as hot as my z5 just before shutting down its camera due to overheating. The gsam notification read 56 C but not sure what it represents.
Needless to say, won't repeat this experience with current note.

Seems like we're all on the same boat, replacing or awaiting replacements. GPS and VR seem to be the main culprits in getting the N7 warm. Is that a general experience? Are there others apps that you have experienced?

GPS makes any phone hot. That's normal. People going paranoid all over.

No it isn't. Carphone Warehouse (retailer in the UK) are saying getting it replaced is voluntary. Reading between the lines (their lines), this seems to be a big fuss over nothing.

I walked into a local Carphone Warehouse and asked about the changes and replacements, etc. I actually met a senior Samsung employee who told me that word from Samsung is that replacements will start on the 19th Sept. That people who purchased through them as carriers would be contacted and replacement dates and times arranged.

I am still using my phone also no heating issues I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon unless it "explodes" of course LOL

I plan to exchange mine when replacements becomes available. After the initial setup inconvenience, all will be well. Plus i will have that extra peace of mind. Until then, I'll continue to use it, keeping an eye on the temperature.
