phone wont boot - Hero CDMA General

i was flashing a rom waay to late last night and i fell asleep while my fone was still in recovery and it died by the time i woke up. now it wont turn on. wat can i do? is it bricked?

When you plug it in for a few minutes and try to boot does it do anything?
Have you tried holding Home and Back while powering on? This will get you into a screen to clear data which helps some people if there stuff won't boot.

yeah it wont boot at all. and the charging light wont come on. ive seen mentioning of it in the moto droid forums where it takes forever to finally charge or corrupting file systems etc....this is not good. flashing roms while sleep is badddd

I've seen a few people on here mention that it can take a long time to get enough power back to boot, I have seen it take as much as 10 minutes on mine.
I would plug it in and walk away for a good half hour. Then try again. if that doesn't work I would want to see about switching batteries with someone to see if theirs has enough power to boot you up.
Do you have TEP? Maybe a little too late if you don't LOL

Yeah trade batterys with a friend... Heros seem to mess up when it dies in recovery. Your not bricked, you just need to get the phone to boot up.. Do the waiting charge thing as stated if that doesnt work, try another cord, if that doesnt work, try another battery... The last one is sure to work. - Devin

thank u all. swapped batteries and it booted up fine. i was worried there for a while

My Epic came unplugged, now its bricked.

If this is asked else were I apologies as I did a search but could not find anything. Short story, my Epic came unplugged before Odin3 finished. Now I cannot get the phone to power on. It will not go into download mode or recovery. I pulled the battery and hit vol. up and power, but nothing happens. I am just about sure there is no hope for the phone, but it is worth a shot. Does anyone know if it is possibly to fix a bricked phone that will not turn on?
Thanks
Will it go into download mode again? do a battery pull and try to go back to download mode. does the samsung logo show when you boot the phone?
I pulled the battery, and still nothing. When I try to power it never comes to life, no logo nothing its like I do not have a battery in it when I hit the power button, but the battery is fully charged.

Download mode: Slide out the kbd, hold the 1 key, press and hold the power button on the side until you get the download screen with the yellow caution triangle and the ditch digger guy...
Holding power and 1 also does nothing.
I think pulling the plug while ODIN is running is literally the only way you can brick this phone, other than running it over with a car.
Did you have full batterywhen you started? Does odin recognize the com port when you plug the phone in?

I did have full batterywhen I did it, but I was using my laptop and went to move causing my phone to fall and become unplugged before it was finished. I just tried plugging in the phone again and nothing came up Odin did not recognize it.
I have had to unplug the phone while odin was running several times because it stopped progressing with the flash. I have been lucky enough to never have a total brick. I would suggest pulling the battery and hitting keys on the keyboard to ensure the power is completely drained, the putting in the battery while holding the 1 key and power.... Always does the trick for me.
You are making sure the phone its in download mode and odin is running before plugging your phone in, right?

Oh my; that sucks. I hope you can get it replaced without any issues.
Good luck, with the next one. Tie it to the desk during the Odin process.
You said you pulled the battery then hit Vol. Up and power...
To get into recovery you need to hit Vol. Down + Camera + Power (hope you had a Backup)
Even after pulling the battery it still will not come back to life. I was at the sprint store and told them that I was doing the over the air update and this is what happened. The tech told me that he has seen a few Epics turn into bricks because of the update went wrong. I will have a new one on Monday but it was worth a try to see if there was a fix since the phone they let me use sucks. Now I will be a little scared putting roms on my phone once I get my new one. Thanks for the help anyway.

Don't be. What happened to you is next to impossible. If you don't chuck your phone around while Odining, it won't happen again.

Yes... ODIN + ADHD is not a good combination
Your phone is not bricked. I had this scenario happen to me. The way I got the phone working again is to take the battery out and then plug the USB cable in. At that point I was able to have the keyboard open, hold down the 1 key+power and the phone went in to dload mode. It worked for me, I am betting it would work for you.
I forgot to mention, leave the battery out of the phone while doing this.
Socos25 I have to say I had hope for this, but I still have the same problem…… however, still nothing but a blank screen that is darker then the bottom of the ocean.
I feel your pain, buddy.
I hate to admit it, but I did the same thing when my phone was 29 days old. In my case I think I started by using the wrong PID file and the process hung. I got worried and unplugged the phone after about 2 minutes. I tried every combination possible to get the phone to wake up but each time it got worse. There was no way to get it back into download mode.
I ended up taking it to a Sprint service center. The tech was sure he could reflash it, but after 20 minutes he came back and said it was dead. Since it was under 30 days they gave me a new phone. Thank you Sprint.
Anyway, I'm pretty nervous these days when using Odin. It IS possible to brick this phone using Odin (as we both know). When I use Odin now I triple check every step, do it on a laptop with a full battery, put the phone down and step away from it until it's finished.
It's likely that if you take it to a Sprint service center they will replace it for a $35 fee. That may be your only option at this point.
Thinking back.. Pull the battery, hold down the power button for like 10 seconds. Then with the battery out of the phone plug in the USB cable. try the 1+power button.
I am pretty sure tha is how I got mine back after I accidently dropped the phone when odin'ing. Does the LED light up when you plug in the usb cable?
I've pulled my phone over 20 times turing an ODIN process to try and brick it. It just doesn't happen with these Samsung phones. You may get stuck at the Samsung screen, but chances are if that you battery is either dead or you keyboard is broken. Cause through 5 phones with trading I can't seem to brick one.

[Q] mt4g flashing LED no vibrate no screen

Hey guys, Im trying to fix this mt4g for a friend.. It wont boot, I cant get into hboot or recovery, all it does is flash the LED. I have read post saying its because I was unsuccessful at loading bootloader, however it doesn't vibrate like the others are saying. I left the battery out for a couple hours along with sd and sim, also tried charging through the night... I cannot figure this one out, also, the computer will not recognize any new hardware or drivers. Is this phone bricked beyond repair?
I put the battery on my battery charger and let the battery charge outside of the phone now when I put the battery in the phone and plug it in to the computer, the red LED comes on and stays on, along with a red glow on the trackpad... Anyone know what to do?
Blinking LED is either the battery is charging to at least one percent, or you didn't press the right button combo to boot into bootloader. Power + Volume Down is bootloader, Volume up will give you three vibrates and a flashing LED, where you will have to pull your battery.
Thanks, I cant get the phone to do anything... I plug it in with the battery in, without pushing any buttons and the LED comes on and the IR trackpad light comes on... It wont respond to anything, no drivers popup.. Is there anyway to recover a bricked mt4g? Im new to it, as I have an Evo and have never had anything like this occur with all the evos i've flashed and rooted... If someone knows anyway to fix this feel free to give input..
Thanks everyone!
ya .. mine is doing the samething.
I just try to turn it on and I get one vibrate ... nothing else
I hit down and power and I get one vibrate .. nothing else
I hit up and power I get 3 fast vibrates and a flashing orange led ... I try to plug the USB here and I get 3 fast beeps on the comp
I hit up and down vol and power I get 5 fast vibrates with a solid green led and noting else... usb again beeps 3 times on the comp
neither will recognize the usb and I have reinstalled the drivers .. and of course none will work with adb either.
I think we are screwed really ... but maybe someone knows something i dont on this here. Thanks for any help.
if you fix your phone. let me know

ya .. no luck so far ..I have tried a lot .. different drivers .. HTC sync .. etc.
I have tried different button pushes .. usb ports .. wont work in adb .. nothing is doing anything.
all I hear thru my speakers when I plug it in is that damn the fast 3 beeps .. ike a "hell no go F yourself you arent connecting it"
and there isnt a lot of info online bout this .. other than some others have the same LED blinking and stuff .. I still dont know what the different LED modes mean.
so IM screwed .. BUT I am getting an LG G2X as an alternate exchange thru T-Mobile warranty though. goodbye mytouch 4G Hello to G2X AND Galaxy S II(bought) .. fun times!
I found a thread somewhere, not sure where but it said that if you cant get anything and the infra-red on the touch sensor is lit the phone is completely bricked!
Its not bricked. Somethign is wacky with the phone, mine has done it and thats why im trying to find out what the hell is going on. My phone acts like its completely dead. This post migt end up being really long.
Ok, i notices this, i used my phone as a wifi hot spot. Turned it off. Left my phone alone, i then put it on charge and went to sleep. Woke up looked at the battery, no color other than the lighting bolt. Unplugged it then went off. Pluged charger back in and orange led flashes. Tried to get into recovery nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, tried the volume down and power, three vibrations. Ok then i decided to take out the battery in and out, didnt work, tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, then put it back in, same. Took out memory card, sim card. Then plugged in the charger. Let it sit for awhile then it works. I notice if you dont use the orginal charger that may also be the problem. I dont have my orginal but i used a walmart charger and seems like a super charger and some how charged my battery enough to be booted up, i daily use a charger that i found with the same connection x-( , that could be the problem. I dunno what makes this happen but it happened to me at least three times. I kinda figure the battery or the emmc chip is involved, could be the hotspot, could be anything, but we dont have enough evidence to figure it out, ill try to post what my battery usage on here. I use cm7 and it only happens when i use it. I tried all other roms but no repeats. That was my story.

I have done all these as well, and still unable to get past the black screen, or acheive bootloader as well. I have even left the battery out for a couple of hours, and still no different. Going to try recharging the battery once more, and some other things.
As for adb it is of no help as of now. I keep getting an error saying no device found. Has anyone found a way past this yet, to try rebooting through adb?
*Edit*
After trying to replace files on the sdcard I was not able to get past this issue. Also spoke with tech support, and was not able to get anywhere with their help. After speaking with them, I have come to conclusion the is bricked. I still cannot figure out what caused the phone to do this I broke down and sending it out to be replaced. Thankfully I have the insurance so I don't have to pay anything for the replacement.
Apparently its not bricked cause I'm still using mine. Try a different charger probly a stronger one like walmarts. I think the battery has a fart and is messed up for a little when it doesn't have a good charge

I have done this, fully charged it twice, and no change for me. I am glad it worked out for you.
Its not bricked.
Download the stock rom, and put that .zip in the root of your SD card. Put it in, press Power + Volume DOWN and wait for the bootloader. Once it boots, it should recognize the .zip and ask if you want to update it, run the update and your phone will be at stock again. Then root again, install Clockwork, and hopefully you backed up your ROM. This won't effect S-OFF, but you will have to run VisionARY again to get root permissions to run clockwork.
Hope this Helps.
one more
I am too having this problem
just blink orange
can't access bootloader or any else....
I too had this problem not too long ago. My power button wouldn't work though... I just connected via USB to my computer with the battery out, put it back in while connected and it turned on. Maybe I'm just lucky but give it a try

3 Vibrates and blinking LED?

So last night when I went to sleep, my phone was working fine. I had forgotten to plug it in though. When I woke up this morning to turn my alarm off, the volume kept turning itself back up. So I took the battery out, and put it back in, and the phone vibrated 3 times and the LED started blinking orange. I repeated this process and the same thing happened. I turned the phone on using Vol-Down+Power, and it vibrates 5 times and LED becomes green and holds green. I was looking around and I found out that the Qualcomm chip went in to download mode or something, and you had to take the battery out for 10-ish minutes to fix it. So I did that, put the battery back in, and the phone turned on just fine.
A few hours ago, my phone died. I plugged it in, let it charge for a little bit, and tried to turn it back on, and the vibration and LED blinking orange started to happen again. So I took the battery out for 10 minutes, didn't fix it this time. So I thought maybe the phone didn't get enough charge, so I let it charge for about an hour, repeated the process, nothing.
I've taken the battery out, SD Card, and SIM out for 10 minutes. Nothing. Currently the phone is sitting next to me, and I have it plugged in to the charger. The LED is orange (not blinking), so I believe that means it's receiving a charge, so hopefully not all is lost.
Since I have no idea what could be causing this, I'll give you guys everything I know about my phone:
I have the good eMMC chip
I have the bad screen
I have the engineering bootloader, S-OFF (through the perma-S-OFF method in the dev. section)
I am currently running [KANG] DARKSIDE CM7.2.0 rc0 [1.12.2012]
I have flashed the official CM7, MIUI, and most recently (besides what I'm currently running) Creamed Glacier 7.0
I have flashed TDJs ICS kernel v13 (or whatever one you need to have WiFi in ICS)
I'll keep trying to get this fixed, but if anyone has any ideas, please, let me know.
Thanks!

Before my phone shut off, I was able to turn the volume down and up without any problems, so I'll assume no, but I could be wrong

You did say it turned up on it's own and in order for your phone to enter that mode (I forget what it's called), you hold up on the vol rocker and power it on.

Yeah, it turned up on its own. I thought you meant the rocker itself. I could turn volume up and down myself, but sometimes it'd turn up on its own. So that's probably what's causing the problem?
Edit: LED just turned green. I'm assuming this means it's fully charged, so I'm gonna try turning it on now.
Edit 2: 3 vibrates and blinking LED still :/

try holding vol down when you power the phone on to go into hboot, go into recovery and then rebooting the phone or just rebooting the phone from there.

Nope, that causes the LED to turn green and the phone vibrates 5 times. Nothing else happens. This happened earlier though, and my phone still was able to turn on, so I'm not sure if it's done yet.
Also IF I can't get this fixed, I can get a SquareTrade warranty for $33 which is (obviously) way cheaper than paying for a new phone (I don't have Tmobile's warranty), does anyone know if that warranty would cover this?

You could try calling t-mo and see what they can do about it.
I bricked my mt4g several months ago and they sent me a replacement after what seemed like an hour of troubleshooting, even though I bought my mt4g through radioshack.
If they send you another one, it'll be refurbished, but hey it's better than a bricked phone.

Haha I was, but then I tried to turn it back on one more time and it did, so I had to come here and ask. And I thought I had read somewhere that flashing a radio might fix the issue.
i have a a mt4g that i got off craigslist and didn't do enough research when i tried to flash every thing so i have the same blinking light but i found i have to pull the battery for 4 hrs before it will give me a 50/50 chance with adb or to boot and i also have no access to any recoverys its android or nothin. i've been dying to find instructions on how to reflash the back ups through adb but lil to no luck

Took a picture with flashlight on, now hard bricked

this could have just been bad luck but now it looks like im sending my phone back to huawei AGAIN.
Long story short, i JUST got the phone back from getting a battery replacement a week ago and every thing was great. Finally could go from 100%-0 with no issues. I was looking for a serial number on a router and with the flashlight turned on i went to take a picture. Screen froze and started to boot loop. I did manage to get back into TWRP after the first boot so i decided id wipe everything and restore my Rom seeing as i had just backed up yesterday and wouldn't miss much. It got me to the "please lock your bootloader bla bla bla" screen and went black. No google screen or anything. Now its just dead. plugged it into a charger. Nothing. Plugged it into the computer. Nothing. Hold down power for 20 seconds. Nothing. Hold volume down and power. Noooppee.
So yea, either im an idiot for trying to take a pic with the flashlight on or im having a bad run with this phone lately. Maybe both. idk. i love this phone but this is getting ridiculous.

I've taken pics with the flashlight on several times on mm and nougat. I've never had any issues from it. If you can still get into TWRP maybe try to load factory image. If you aren't even getting to to google splash screen it's almost like you don't have an os installed.
Nevermind. Just reread what you wrote and saw that it won't boot at all.

I'm having the battery drain issue with my 6P. Google said they will send an RMA even though I'm out of warranty. I've just got to tell them to send it. Haven't done it yet because I'm halfway scared of getting a device that has worse problems. At least now I know 15% battery actually means 0. Other than that it's in perfect condition. After your experience I may just keep my phone and try replacing the battery myself.
its funny because i bought directly from huawei in November of 2016 and before i sent it in it told me i was under warranty until Jan 26 2017. now i just checked and im under warrenty until 4-3-17. so maybe they dont even trust their own work and extended my warranty lol
if i didnt have a back up phone id be way more pissed off about this.

There is another thread where ppl are able to regain access the dead phone by holding the power button down for an extended time. Some say a minute and a half, others several minutes but their phones were coming back on and fully functioning afterwards. If you can get back into recovery why not try a factory reset before restoring your backup.

Some people have reported that plugging the phone into a wall outlet for an extended period of time (sometimes 24 hours or more) brings the red notification light back and then you can power on again

You tried to push volume down and power together for a longer time? (20 seconds) I think there is another thread with a similar problem already here.

I've had this happen a few times and it has the symptoms of the phone thinking the battery is flat even when it can be fully charged.
I've found that by trying to turn it on say 10 times then waiting a few minutes then repeating this process, eventually the mobile will turn on.
Did u do it while it was plugged in or like normally...plus even if i try turning on it dosent vibrate or show anything...aooo shud i just blankly do it?

I think I've started it with it plugged in and other times unplugged if I know it had a well charged battery, and managed eventually to get it to start. Sometimes it's taken a lot of attempts and sometimes it's started after a few.
Each time I press the power button the Wileyfox logo flashes up, I release the power button and then the display will go blank again. However sometimes the logo will remain displayed and then the phone will boot up. I haven't been able to understand what happens as it seems completely random with no pattern to the cause as far as I can tell.
atleast you had that...i dont have anything at all..i tried to open up the device as i heard there is a problem with the battery connector...but im failing to do that as well...I even tried it unplugged to turn it on...nothing is happening..
