Sorry for the noob question, I've been trying to search everywhere with no luck.
I recently found a Sprint Note 7, and was wondering if I can still revive it.
It's currently at 0%, however, If I plug it in, it shows the battery icon.
If I try to go into download mode, while plugged in, by holding vol -, home, power, it just does a bootloop.
Is it still possible for me to revive this? Maybe a guide somewhere I havent found?
Thanks!
I can help you brother

Nice, thanks. What do I need to do?
Hello.
Here are the steps to force the download mode after the kill update :
Connect it to the pc
Volume down, home and power keys for 3 seconds then remove your fingers (3times)
Congratulations you're in download mode now [emoji6]

Im not sure if I understand you correctly.
I connected it to PC, phone vibrates, then shows the battery icon with the lightning bolt, computer does the USB sound, but on device manager it says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
Anyways, I press and hold Vol- home and power key together for exactly 3 seconds, and nothing happens. I did this up to 10 times, nothing really happens.
Alternatively, I tried holding the buttons till something happens, which is the screen turns black, USB disconnect sound on PC, I release the buttons, phone vibrates and shows the samsung splash screen, then phone vibrates and shows battery icon again. I did this around 10 times as well, but no luck.
Also worth mentioning, I didnt disconnect the usb cable at any point. Am I supposed to?
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Update - It seems I can get it to boot into the the screen before the download mode when plugged into an outlet. However, if I hit Vol+ to go into download mode, it restarts.
A few ideas
I've had largely the same experience with mine. It seems to need an excessive amount of power in order to boot into download mode. I managed to get it into download mode while plugged into a computer by using a y cable to plug it into an outlet first, then swap the one usb input to the pc. However despite my efforts, the pc still would not recognize my phone, and Odin would not acknowledge that it was plugged in.

Hey,
So I just got this GNex from eBay and it won't boot at all. If I plug it into the wall it will show the battery charging and show it filling up 3 times and then go black. I've tried plugging it into the computer and pulling the battery quickly to get it to boot and nothing. Is there anything I can do to flash/boot into the device or am I stuck relying on the store to do something about it? I've done several searches on the forum and google and I haven't found anything beneficial.
Thanks!
I would say it's dead. Try holding down the power button while holding down the volume up and volume down buttons all at once. If it should vibrate let go of the power button and see if it will enter fast boot. If not send it back.

thats the normal behavior when you plug it in, 3 times filling up then black. then when you press the power button, three times fill up then black. to me it sounds like your power button is broken.
I think power button is broken. Possibly volume keys as well. I'm able to boot if I plug into the PC and then wiggle the battery. There's a lock pattern so I can't get past it but I'm unable to adjust volume or turn the screen off/on. I'm going to bring it to the sprint store tomorrow and say it won't turn on.
Thanks!

Looks like the phone got wet. I can boot it up with the PC as mentioned before but its locked and I don't know the pattern/gmail account. Is there anyway to put a phone into USB debugging without getting into the phone? How about fast boot/recovery/download mode without volume down or power buttons?

So, I had to replace the screen on my phone because it was cracked. But not after putting it all back together, the phone just boots loops. I am trying to follow the guide about unbricking your phone but I am unsure about getting into download mode. I hold down both volume buttons and plug in the usb into the computer, but noting happens except the phone just keeps boot looping. How do you tell if phone is in download mode? What does the screen look like?
If you get into download mode, you can't miss it. It is pretty obvious. To get your phone into download mode, shut off your phone (Hold power button for 12 second), wait 2-3 sec, press both volume button and then insert usb cable.
Hmm. Seems like my problem is something else. I can't get in into download mode. I cant even get the phone ti turn on if it isn't plugged in.

Could your battery be dead? Getting to download screen is a bit tricky as far as the timing is concerned.
USB should be already inserted, otherwise phone will just boot when you plug the cable in.
So usb pluged in, next turn off the phone via power button, now hold both volume buttons + power, should work.

^this has been my experience as well. Turn phone off. Insert USB. Wait for charging screen to flash on and disappear. Then press and hold vol+ vol- power until Download Mode screen flashes on, then release buttons.
First of all when in download mode you'll see a box displayed saying "download mode" it's hard to miss even you try to.
Here's how I did it. Instead of trying to push both vol + and- , press the middle part of the volume rocker. And press power button at the same time. USB cable can be plugged in advance or can be inserted later on. Only advantage of plugging the USB later is it gives you a proper grip and reassurances you've pressed the button combination correctly. Note that the phone will look for a USB presence before booting to download mode..hope this helps

Hi,
My one X has completely died. I replaced the screen on it but now when I try and turn it on I get one solitary red flash off the charging LED after 2-3 seconds of holding the power button down and that's it. The weird thing is that I only get the red flash when the USB/charger is plugged in. After that I have to unplug the USB/charger for about ten seconds, plug it back in and then it will flash again when the power button is held down. I've measured the battery voltage and it is reading 4.00v. Anyone have any ideas at all? It's not as if I can send it back to HTC because if you open it, it is obvious I've opened it.
It's happened to me a few times before, I think it happens when the battery is completely dead.
I left mine on usb for a while, and then entered it into hboot mode by holding the volume button (down I think) and the power button. After you get to hboot could take a couple of tries, enter into recovery and then reboot the system and place it on the wall charger asap.
Hope it helps.

If u look on here there is a bat file for your phone that loops your phone on fastboot.
This allows a minute charge to the battery increasing its power and then should be able either to boot up or restore via RUU file for your phone.
Make sure you have ADB/Fastboot drivers installed and wait for an hour or so when running file

At the moment, when I plug the phone into my PC, it doesn't recognise anything being connected. When I run the find connected devices in the SDK platform tools it doesn't find anything either. Will the above still work or am I goosed.

Hold vol down and power and should show white screen with 3 androids at bottom and in blue text should say hboot.
Press power once and should change to fastboot in red text.
Connect phone and see if detected by pc then. (You dont run via sdk if drivers are installed correctly)
If you dont have drivers go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135381 and install.
When I press the power button and down volume at the same time nothing happens at all. Regardless of how long I press them for. I'm pretty sure it's properly dead. If my pc doesn't recognise anything being connected I can't load drivers or anything to it. Might have to consign this one to the bin.....

Hello I need your help. I didn't make any changes like root, ROM flash, unlocking bootloader and so. In the morning I had about 8 % battery so I plugged tablet into charger (it was on and wifi was also on). When I came home afte 4-5 hours I press power button and lock screen (i didnt unlock it) showed up but I noticed that battery icon showed only 2/3 and there was not charging flash indication, I was confused so I unplug it and lock the screen. Then I press power button again to show unlock screen but nothing happened. After that I tried to plug it back to charger (nothing happened) , try to hold power button for more then 2 minutes, also power + vol UP or vol DOWN (to access bootloader) or both but nothing appeared, I try to connect to PC nothing only when I press power + both volume buttons and plug it into PC then PC shows missing driver QHSUSB_DLOAD but nothing appers on screen. I read that this message indicates brick. How can I brick nexus by nothing doing? I also try google video ,,Nexus 7 won't charge or turn on,, (i cant post link) but only more then 2 hours connection in AC. I'll try leave it over night but I dont think so that it will help.
