So i was flashing a new rom with twrp bootloader unlocked everything went well and then when i went out of twrp it just would't turn on anymore just off but the screen was still on so the phone too but then i thought just to wait till the battery dies and so it did i put my phone to charge and i didn't say anything so i just let it there came back about an hour later still nothing and it wont turn on, nothing at all i don't know what to do i hope it ain't hard bricked
Try booting into download mode(odin mode), you'll have the confirmation page on it DO NOT GO PAST IT, let your phone on there for a few a hours so it can get enough juice to flash your stock firmware.
From my experience one hour should be enough to flash but you have to be quick after you take it out of the charger and put putting it to the pc. I also recomend to have every firmware file preloaded on odin.

I have a one X unlocked international version which I had rooted and set up a recovery. I then went on to try to flash over ARHD after super wiping, and did a battery stat reset since I had flashed at around 30% and figured it would reset the calibration on the battery. Anyways, from here this is where it goes bad. After restarting it goes into a boot loop and ends up getting kicked back into bootloader. After this I try to factory reset to no avail. After trying to reflash the rom a couple times using recovery, recovery just died and won't even load anymore. In addition to this I can't get the battery to hold a charge as each time I plug it in it reboots and loads then says 0 battery and dies instantly. I can get to bootloader and fastboot but can't flash anything through fastboot because it says the battery is too low.
Any suggestions on how to fix this and get it back up and running, or am I forced to send it to HTC the moment they bring in parts for it. (right now HTC says there is a wait on parts as they do not have any in stock as its a new phone and their texas facility has diddly on hand)
Any suggestions are welcome as to fixing this predicament.

How did you wipe batterystats, from CWM? As the recoveries are new I suppose it's possible something went wrong if you did it that way, but it seems unlikely.
However, though probably not the root of your problem, there's no point in wiping batterystats.bin, as all that file holds in information on what processes have been using battery since your last unplugged your charger. This was one of those android myths (I used to do it too ) that was officially put to bed early in the year:

I'm pretty sure I've seen others with this issue, have a search around the forums. Have you tried turning the phone from the bootloader screen, and leaving it plugged in to charge for a while?
Try this:
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Select Fastboot menu
3. Select "Power off" to shut down the phone
5. Plug in charger
Leave it for a while. From what I've read, the power LED may flash at first, but should settle after a few mins to a solid red. I'd leave it till it's green and fully charged then try again.
If that works, and you can get into recovery again, try restoring your backup of the stock ROM if you have one, to check the phone boots okay. (If you didn't take a backup first, you will next time. ) Otherwise try re-flashing the ROM, or if that fails you might have to re-flash stock recovery, re-lock your bootloader and then run the relevant RUU for your device to flash the stock firmware back. You'll have to unlock and root again in that case.
Good luck, hope it works for you!
Trying to fix my daughters SGIII Sprint phone.
This morning it started going into a bootloop.
What I've tried:
1) Attempted CWM recovery by pressing (VOLUP+HOME+POWER). The screen flashing "SAMSUNG" with in small blue font in upper left "Reocery Starting..." And then the phone shuts off right away.
2) Attempted ODIN recovery by pressing (VOLDOWN+HOME+POWER). Once in download screen in ODIN I try and flash KIES_HOME_L710VPBLJ7_L710SPRBLJ7_329968_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 but after a few seconds the phone just shuts off.
All in all I think if I can just get the phone to stop shutting down while in download mode I can at least flash something and this thing back up.

Okay, so I had this problem and at the end of the day I had to turn it in to Samsung for warranty purposes because the phone would automatically turn off when on and then restart the boot process and turn off again. However, I found a temporary fix, if you pull out the battery wait for a while (like an hour) and put it back in, the phone should stay on longer so you can flash through Odin. The phone will no longer turn on normally because once you start the flash with Odin the boot.img has been flashed but it's a broken flash due to the fact that the phone turned off in the process.
Here are simple steps:
Take out the battery and leave it out for an hour or so (longer won't hurt)
Get the USB plug and make sure it's in the computer and Odin is started with the correct tar file already selected so that you can flash it quicker
Put the battery back in and start the phone in download mode
Connect the phone and just let it sit for a couple second to make sure it stays on
If it does stay on for more than 15-20 seconds then you can begin the flashing process
If it turns off while in download mode you can take out the battery and put it back in (you don't need to wait)
It's really all just a matter of patience because eventually, the phone should turn on for long enough
Once flashed, the phone should work for a while
So after following that process, I got the phone to work for about 2 months but the issue reoccurred. I was eventually able to flash the stock rom but the problem persisted. So I called in to Samsung to turn it in for the warranty. So far, they have "Replaced a component" in my phone. I SHOULD have it back by Monday. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks, for the response. Battery is out now so I'll try later this evening after it sits for awhile.
I hope it works for you. Just as an update, Samsung has fixed the problem and my phone has shipped as of today! So I guess it's an error on their part.
No luck yet.. Going to leave battery out overnight and try again in morning.
Alright I need some major help here guys. I flashed tasks 02/20 Rom and about a day using it, I was just about to go to bed, when my phone shut off randomly. Now it won't stay on, it will boot only to the samsung screen, and then it shuts off. Even in downloading mode, it won't even stay on long enough for me to try and re-flash back to stock. Any suggestions .. ? It's not a bootloop, I know what that is. Its it the battery .. I've had this before but the phone was able to stay on long enough for me to flash an emergency stock zip
If any one can help with any idea I would really appreciate it.
So I let my little brother play my s2 and he completely ran the battery out.
now I have left it on the charger over night, when i go to boot into recovery. You feel the phone vibrate then see the samsung for a split second, and if you keep holding the power you just feel the phone keep vibrating. The screen never turns back on. Now I know it works because i was able to boot recovery once, when i did that i just tried a full wipe and reboot. phone kept boot looping, so i pulled battery, but now i cant get into download mode or recovery.
Please help, or atleast let me know that its not fixable
thanks
You are supposed to let go of power after the first vibration. ?
Try downloading a stock ROM (.tar format, I believe) and flashing it, using ODIN. That worked for me when I bricked my SGH-T989.
I later had to install a new recovery, but you can play around and see what needs doing.
So the other day I woke up and my S20+ wouldn't power on. I tried every key combo, I even pulled the back glass to make sure the battery didn't somehow get bumped loose. It had sat on the charger all night before it did this. I left it on the charger the whole next day while I got my old Note 10 updated to use until its fixed. Every few hours I would go over and try to start it, and finally when it did, it sent me to the blue screen saying it was flashed with unauthorized firmware and that it was locked. The phone has never been flashed with anything other than OTA updates. I managed to get it into download mode but every flash I've tried from Odin fails. Im at a loss here. I cant get into recovery mode and when I power it down to get out of download mode, it just keeps flashing the Galaxy S20+ screen over and over again, so i have to put it in download mode and let it sit until it shuts off on its own. Does anyone have any input on this?
