possibly hard bricked note 2 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Yesterday my note 2 froze during youtube video playback but sound kept on going. I held down power button key for approximately 10 seconds until it powered down. I've tried to power it up again but it did not. I've connected it to the charger and nothing happens, not even red light lights up to show that it is charging. I've tried to boot it into download mode but nothing happens. I am running TWRP, agni kernel and eclipse rom. Is there something I can do ? Thanks in advance.

Can you boot into TWRP?

Hey thanks for the reply.
Sadly, no , I cannot. I cannnot even turn on device. Samsung logo does not even appear and when I connect it to the charger red LED does not work. Would usb jig help me?

Your battery could be dead, or better your charger. Try using your friend's charger.

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I' ve tried different charger and battery. Still no sign of life. I guess that's it. Phone is dead.

it happened to me in exactly same way I was scrolling through facebook and it froze, I remember about three years ago there was a service called j-tag in uk and they were fixing this but they don't do it anymore for note 2, is there anyone on this forum who knows where this can be done ?

[q] help me please serious problem

So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.
Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.
Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.
But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.
Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.
I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.
I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?
I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!
Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.

My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/
When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.

That would mean booting would it not? I have no power button:/ I just need the phone to boot, that's all. I can get some vital data from it then and send it back
If you can get it to be recognized by USB
adb reboot bootloader
From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock
fastboot oem lock.
Then try warranty if your problems still exist.

Does the phone not have to be booted to be recognised by USB? Plus I'm running a Mac, I know you guys hate Macs
I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..

The phone is charging, I just can't get it to boot due to the power button not working. I just mentioned all of the symptoms for the sake of being detailed to get the best help
Before all that was is just randomly powering off and rebooting? Mine did that yesterday a few times before the charge issue. at the moment mine says "charging usb" earlier it was "not charging" and "charging ac" an using the original cord. I'm asking because now I'm all worried I'm going to be having same issue as you. like symptoms ya know? I hope not because i have FINALLY found a ROM i love. And I'm a serial flasher lol

Yeah, on the AOKP it would do random quick reboots, going straight from the Pink AOKP Unicorn then back into the OS. Quite annoying

If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.
You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.
Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....
No one else sees the trend ?
All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).
Funny how that works eh ?

I've never been able to replicate this boot, and holding VOLUME DOWN doesn't do anything either

A. Ensure that it is not a battery problem.
B. Check if AC charging is working.
Also how did you do the factory reset?

Can you charge your phone with AC charger?
From whatever info you have provided, it seems that your phone is using DC current from your laptop to charge itself and boot into system. Nothing to do with software. Either your AC Adapter is out or battery is dead. please check these and report back. press thumbs up if u found my suggestions helpful.

Well, it is unlikely that it is a software problem. Battery looks very doubtful. I suggest you to grab somebody with a Note2 (friend, family or some1 u know) and check out their battery in your phone.
If it works, just get a new battery.
If it does not, we will have to troubleshoot the problem further.
Also, avoid using phone as long as possible.

Plug it in to charge for a while (1 hr or so), then hold down the power button + volume up for 20 seconds or so and see if it comes back to life.

okay i got my friend's charger and when i plugged it in it showed a picture of battery charging, i guess this is a good sign. Idk how it worked even though both chargers have an output of 5V and 2.5A... anyways thank you all
Maybe bad usb cable. The HTC charger should be 1.5a not 2.5a.

afaik it doesn't make a real difference. The phone caps it's limits at its max level so its no problem to use a charger with a higher amperage like 2,5

Htc one m8 is dead.

Hi guys i badly need your help. My phone died on me two days ago. I was just charging and it was 32% when i tried to download something from google playstore it hung up and i restarted it but it will only boot up to the HTC logo alone. Then i tried to boot it to bootloader, it did boot, and i wanted to boot into recovery mode. When i entered recovery mode. It shut down and the phone was so hot and some sound was whirling up inside. It was about 5 mins. After it cooled down the sound went off. But i cannot turn it on anymore. I did everything soft hard resets and also thr battery reset troubleshooting power volume up and down at the same time for two to three minutes.
Can anybody help me whats wrong? Led light wont turn on also when charger is plugged in.

Pixel 3XL died

Hi guys, help me!
I just got a pixel 3XL and everything was working fine, I get to my house and I connect it with a 15w charger, phone immediately turn off, died, don’t turn on anyway.

Thanks!!

Well, I have a suggestion. Leave the device to drain, then, charge it up for a little bit and try the combos again.
When my device was dying before, I was able to get it to respond by leaving it on the pixel stand. It actually could be a bug. I would suggest that you explain to google customer service the situation and tell them you can't return it. It could be as simple as doing something different.
Old trick from the droid incredible. Hold down power button while repeatedly plugging and unplugging the power cord. Worked for me and another xda member i suggested it to awhile ago when we thought our devices were bricked. That same small battery icon would flash from time to time for me also, thats how i knew it wasnt completley dead. Hasnt happened again since.
thanks guys for your suggestions I'm trying each one but I can not turn it on.
Tomorrow I will try a wireless charger hope I have some result .
this is frustating

Mine died last night while on my Pixel stand. I can turn it on but it won't stay on but for maybe 15-30 seconds then it turns itself off. It shows it's charging and that the charge is increasing. I've re-flashed system images, factory reset in TWRP, but I'm RMA.
