Hi guys,
I have a problem with my HD Mini. I searched for it, but I didn´t find help. If the same problem is solved in another thread, please post the link.
When my device is in slepp mode (screen black) and I want to wake up (press on/off button) nothing happens. The only way to use the device is to remove the battery and turn it on again.
Sometimes I can wake up the device normaly (press on/off button -> slide bar down -> everything is normal), but only in 2 of 10 cases.
The device is running in sleepmode normaly, I can recieve messages, it vibrates and the green light flashs.
I tryed to fix it by an hard reset, but that didnt help.
I hope anyone knows how to fix it.

Same here, a hard reset didn't help, I mean problem comes out also with a clean installation. You can only remove battery or wait for someone to call/sms you..
Thanks... I have searched it, but it seems like there is no real solution to this problem.
but i´ve read somewhere, that if you put yout device to sleep when its in shortcut-homescreen (9 shortcuts), there is no SOD. It seems to work.
if anyone got an better solution...
try to flash ur rom, it looks like the device bricks.

OK, thanks for all your help.
Since wednesday evening my HD mini is ok. I can´t say how I solved the problems, I made a few hardresets and suddenly it works fine. Now I test some things step by step to look whether I can find the reason. At the moment I guess it´s something with the sd card...
If I will find something I will tell you, perhaps its helpfull.
ok, here some news.
since my last post my device worked well. today I tried to put in my sd-card and I formated it with the HD-mini internal formating tool.
after 5minutes i got the good old SOD, now I turned the card out again restartet the device and everything is all right again.
Hey people, I usually upgrade roms on my blackstone, been 2 years now, all fine, until yesterday after a task 29.{Ypsmav rom} My phone didn't want to start, eternal freeze on start up with the htc logo ..
Can you kindly help me please.Tried several HR, to no avail..
This happend to me, this is what i did to fix it:
Take the batery of the phone
Wait a few minutes and put the batery back on
With the USB Cable unplugged press the Volume Down button and then the Power Button
Plug the USB into the phone (Don't do anything else to the phone)
Run the ROM you downloaded
Select Task 28 and upgrade.
It worked with my Touch HD
task 29 completely formats your phone, including the rom partition, so of course it cannot boot into windows mobile, there is currently no windows mobile on it!
as already pointed out, you need to flash a rom again.
Hm, Got it resolved . Thxs anyway
Hey guys!
I hope it´s ok to use this thread for my question...
I have a big problem with my old Blackstone... I didn´t use it for a long time (because I got a HTC Desire and a Galaxy Tab). Now i started the phone, but it won´t boot. It stucks at the boot screen (HTC Smart Mobility)...
So far so good... So I thought, I´ll do a Hard Reset... Then I saw that the VOL-Buttons are broken... So, HardReset with VOL-Button won´t work.
Is it possible to flash the phone via USB (ActiveSync doesn´t work...)?
Or is the phone broken?
Thanks in advance for help!

without the use of the volume buttons, it is next to impossible to get the device working again, since your device does not boot into winmo nor can you access the bootloader mode to flash it. your only chance would be to get the volume keys working again, have you tried using them without the back cover and pressing them really deep?
Hey.
Yeah, I've tried to get the Buttons work again, but keys are definitly broken. Something seems to miss on the buttons, so I think the are broken...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
since you do have another phone, you might want to consider giving away/ selling your blackstone.
lately, i think there are more and more threads with people that have problems with their displays and/or digitizers and they might be willing to buy it for parts or you could donate it to the developers of xdandroid, so they finally have a device to test it on.
or you could search and download the htc blackstone service manual pdf and disassemble the device yourself to fix the buttons.

Guys,
so i've done some searching to no avail so i'm desperately asking for some help so i can fix my pregnant's wife cell phone (she really needs it)
I rooted her LG G2 (ATT) some time back. I never installed any recovery or custom ROM. She received an update software notification and I told her not to accept. Well coincidently later on in the day her phone stopped working (she states she did press software update button).
He phone is bricked and boots only to the LG G2 logo and she gets a boot certification error and phone turns off (but i think screen still off).
Attempting to do a hard reset did not work, i got the same LG screen with same error
I decided to flash back to stock, i understand the process and have done this before on my LG G3.
Only problem is when i try to go into download mode and plug USB into phone I get pop up messages on my laptop asking me to format local disk h: I notice that every time I attempt to go into download mode and plug the phone in, i get a bunch of local drives that pop up. I tried formatting out of desperation, but it told me disk was protected.
No idea wha'ts going on. Anyone know why i get a bunch of local drive disks instead of my phone going into download mode when i plug into my laptop?
I greatly appreciate the help, i've been at this for 3 hrs and i'm frustrated.
I think my problem may be that the phone is not truly "OFF" and i don't know how to turn this completely off since there's no battery to pull. I'm not even sure if this is the problem, but just an idea.
I tried letting the phone die completely. I thought i'd be able to let it die, charge it a bit, then hold volume up and plug it into computer to get into download mode. I thought i was a genius, until the phone died and as soon as i plugged it into charge it automatically went into bootloop again.
I think the problem is that i can't turn off the phone to get into download mode.
Any ideas?
bumping in this in hopes of some help. Still can't get this thing to go into download mode.

When I get a boot certification error my phone is always in a state when I can never truly turn it off.
When I hold the POWER button it turns OFF, then immediately turns ON again when I release the POWER button.
My solution? Hold the POWER button down for about 30 seconds.
My screen turns off at around the 10 second mark and after a while I let go of the POWER button and my phone stays OFF.
It's probably best to do this in a dark room so you can tell if the screen is really OFF.
If you're having trouble truly turning your device OFF, try THIS tutorial. It involves removing the rear case of your G2 and disconnecting your Battery.
Okay now.. assuming you got your phone to turn OFF.. continue reading..
Make sure you have the LG Drivers installed on your PC. You can download them HERE.
After installing those Drivers, download and install the Universal ADB Drivers from HERE.
Now after doing the above, try Download Mode again. Hold Volume UP and plug your phone into your PC via USB (keep holding Volume UP until you see "Download Mode").
Success? If so.. visit THIS tutorial and do the "TOT Method".
No Success? Post back and let me know :good:. You may need to follow THIS tutorial as a final solution.

I am trying this now. I was uncertain of my wife's phones fate and gave up on it so this morning i had to go to ATT and get her a new phone. She travels alot and is pregnant so she needs a phone and i had no choice but to upgrade her to the S6(she was long over due)
I am still going to try this method so i can restore and sell on ebay. Hope it works!
You're welcome.

You're more than likely going to have to do the last option I linked you to, which requires a unix-like environment. If you need any help with that just send me a PM or post in that thread specifically.
Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!
Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks
Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.
@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times
They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?
try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.
My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....
try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist
How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox
Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:
Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.
Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...
Hello!
I have a problem with phone I hope someone can help me to fix this, without take it to service:
I have an S8+, phone was left on charge, then power/electricity went off (not cause by lightning, they just turned it off) the green led was glowing, but the phone didnt reacted.
I tried to hold down any button this phone had power, power+vol down, power+vol up, power+both vol, even bixby too but it didnt react.
Anyone can help me? is there other way to try to turn it on? (*also try to save my data from phone?)
What do you guys think, what went broken in phone? batter/motherboard?
Thanks
ps: just noticed where i post first time was in "sprint" version of "S8+" idk why there are two forum for 1 phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s8+/help/to-phone-t4087951, if against rule to have 2 topics pls delete that, cause this one looks more alive than other
ps2:ill take it to service, just posted this to hope some1 can help
