phone does not respond to any buttons so I can not use the download mode

try buying/building a JIG, im not much of a pro with a JIG, but it'll get you into download mode, idk how it works, but wait for more answers is all i can say

JIG is not working, the phone does not respond

I just had this happen...take everything out of the phone, plug in usb to pc, hold down only the volume buttons, plug in the usb to phone, put in the battery and it should go right into download mode....

That works when phone is soft bricked, this looks like a hard brick

I thought that only developers hard bricked vibrants, I didn't really ever think it could happen while flashing a rom? Was your battery charged at least at 20%? I have axura 2.2.5.7 and it flashed fine when I did it a few weeks ago this makes me not want to update to the newest rom.

Thats what I thought too. I just had this happen last night...no power, no buttons, no boot, nothing... DEAD. I tried this this morning and it worked.

I tried everything, no effect, unless the phone in the trash, unless you know another way to fix it, all the other roms work without a problem, the problem was only with Axura

Help please!

I dropped me Epic today and cant get it to power on. I took it to the sprint repair shop and some how they can power it up and I'm not sure how they do it? I need to power it on so I can fix the problem. I am running Anonymous rom i3 so it has a funny problem when powered down and plugged in....kinda freezes on charging screen. I also cant boot into recovery and cant get into download mode. The sprint store was able to power it on twice but wont help anymore because I voided warranty by changing software lol. I need to figure out if there is an alternate way to power on besides the power button? Keyboard maybe? Any input would be helpful!

Turn off, the power button + 1 key on the keyboard.

Well I pulled the battery for an hour....still cant get into DL mode with/or without cable. When I plug the phone in with/or without battery it still gets stuck on the battery charging logo. This is frustrating....

Why don't u ask the sprint repair dude how he got it to turn on?

Every time I've bricked a phone I just pop in a different battery and it boots up into recovery or in our case download mode.

Well I didn't see my neighbor but my buddies wife is also a tech at the same store. I told her what's going on I'm waiting for an answer. Hopefully I'll have an answer for you tonight.

Also u should look into the jig or what ever is called it just plugs in to ur USB port and it jumps it into download mode. Ill look for a video for u. Give me a second.
Edit: here's a video on how it works.

She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.

If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?

Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.
With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).
Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.
That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.

HELP!What is this?

after flash to stock ,phone stop on vibrant screen and this

whoa, i have never seen that before. i'm sure the dev's here have.
try to hold down power to reboot/reset. if not, pull the battery, get back into d/l mode and ODIN again to be safe.
you might have missed a step or something during your ODIN flash. post your steps you did.

You clearly missed step 2. Which was to remove that pesky little tab. ;-)

On a serious note, what exactly did you do to go "back to stock"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

i've had that screen before when i was messing with framework pngs and whatnot.
theres 2 solutions:
do the download mode method and get into it.
-that may be the download mode itself, so just connect to odin and see if your phone is seen as a downloadmode?

I had this awhile back. It scared me a little bit because I have to play around to get to download mode a few times so I can get back to odin.

i get this everytime my phone crashes on my revolution rom.... i startes getting it when i flashed the 2.2 froyo bootloader.

Yep . Same exact thing happened to me when running rom revolution and flashing back to a froyo bootloader.

I had this same thing the other day. check to make sure your cable going to your computer is good. I was holding vol-up and vol-dn and trying to get into download but it would bring up this screen instead. switch cables and see if that helps.

I had this awhile back with trigger my phone just stopped working and that screen appeared, i think it's a kernel crash i just held power down or pulled the battery and it was fine when it rebooted i haven't had it happen for a few months. Ya it scared the crap out of me ;-)

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!

What were you doing with it when it got bricked?

Did u plug into computer while battery is out? Then try going into download mode?

i was odin working on eg22plus, went to odin back to eg22 stock and it just immediately failed after md5 check, and wouldnt come back on... didnt even show to try to write anything.

Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

Charging Problem

This problem started with my phone a couple weeks ago. I seem to have problems charging my phone. I cannot charge my phone while it's off. If I plug it into a power source via the cable it turns itself on.
Sometimes it will not charge. It usually happens if I use the phone while it's plugged into something while charging. In the status bar it indicates it is not charging. To make get it to charge the battery again I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. Sometimes I have to do this a few times before it starts charging again.
I've got my phone rooted with CWM and i'm running CM7

I'm not sure. I have a CM7 nightly from 11-16-2011. It was the second to the last nightly that was made for it. It seemed to have less issues then the latest one. But, I've flashed different ROMs available from CWM and the charging issue was still present.

Have you tried to Odin to stock using v 2.2pit? Could be something buggy in your data or partitions. i.have found that some things can only be solved this way..

Ugh, things are just not working out for me lately. All is moot now. My screen is broken. Looks like I won't be talking to anyone for awhile and my job search just got more difficult. FML

i've gotten a replacement fascinate. i forgot i had insurance. neh4pres... do you know where i can a copy of that eh03 radio? every link i've found seems to refer to the same one and that link has been down. i'm itchin to get ICS on my phone now and i can't get that radio.

What radio do you have now? From what I've read you should be fine on ICS with EC09, or the previous one which I can't recall the name of (or EH03 obviously). Earlier ones might work too, I don't know, but I think those three most recent are recommended. Sorry I can't help with a link or anything, I've just got the EC09 one at the moment.

Try this. QUOTE=imnuts;23171512]Found that I had downloaded the original EH03 file when it was posted, so I uploaded it for people to use (and provide a mirror). Enjoy

my replacement fassy is completely stock and came with an EH03. does that actually simplify things?

Yeah if you're already on EH03 than I wouldn't worry about the radio. If you get the itch to try out ICS, check out droidstyle's guide, it has everything to get you up and running. I recommend AOKP or teamhacksung's ICS (on rootzwiki).

I'm on ICS hacksung's 6.5 build!!! Yes! Thank you so much for helping this noob!

No problem, THS 6.5 is a great rom!
