Hi im from Germany,
i tried to flash my Acer S200 but it stopped by 50% and i have pluged the cable out. I cant turn it on, it gives no signal, i cant bring it to the download mode. Nothing is working no hardreset with buttons.Nothing is working and when i plug it to usb the LED isnt blinking
Sorry for my bad english ..
my phone is new, it has garanty, should i contact the acer support or can anyone help me ?
Hold volume up/vol down button + reset until you see "clean boot"
i tried it the phone gives no signal .. no clean boot is coming .. the rom flashing was at 50% i think it is breaked
but thank you
did you try removing then replacing the battery. then try bootloader mode again?
yes i tried but nothing is working i cant enter the bootloader nothing is working it is just off no vibration nothin is working
sorry, but I have to ask, are pressing then holding vol down +power +camera buttons
at the same time until blinking red light starts?
you have to get into bootloader mode then flash a custom rom
brainmaster has a few including a "clean" rom.
I had this happen awhile ago and tried so many things for 2 days that now I don't
remember what actually worked! But I don't think that your S200 is bricked.
Also, make sure that you keep the power cable pluuged in (not usb)
you need a good charge even if you don't see the green light.
just keep trying and if I can remember I let you know.
or someone here will help you to find a solution!
thank you for your help but there is no light blinking. Also when i plug it to charge no light is going on. it doesnt charge the battery. i hope you can remember
i already know how to flash a rom but the phone doesnt give any sign
sorry I can't remember but you should ask brainmaster and maybe he can really help.
And he speaks german= )
thank you i will send him my problem
Any solution
Hi. I kind of found myself in the same situation. My acer s200 is unresponsive, no blinking lights no matter key/reset combinations. Had been in the middle of flashing on a new ROM when it got accidentally disconnected.
Any possible solution? Already checked the battery out in a different phone and it's fine and charged.
Hey,
i don't want to looks like a vultur, but if some of you can't find a solution to resolve the problem you have, I'm interested by the device because I need some piece. Of course I hope you can resolve your problem but if there are no led blinking, the last possibility is to send it to acer, and if you don't want to wait/pay/or whatever to with the acer support, I'm interested by your device.
Arto
Vulture indeed!! I'm need of help man.
you still need help?????
Hey GarcoG. Yes, still in need of help. My S200 is currently a desktop paperweight at home. It's a beautiful paperweight but it was made for so much more. Would really like to get it up and running again.
A new thing I noticed. I'm able to charge my phone's battery to full on my friend's s200. Of course when I put it back into my phone, it's still completely unresposive. However, I noticed that whenever I put it back into my friend's phone, the charge on it has reduced. I'm pretty sure it's not a battery issue I have since my phone is still unresponsive with my friend's battery in it and the same happens with that battery as well.
Would really appreciate any ideas on fixing this.
Hi, count me in. I just jumped on your wagon.. will try to disassemble this beauty soon before I officially demote it to a shiny paperweight.. well it's not that shiny, i put on a matte screen protector on it
Really funny about that matte screen protector. Cannot wait for the results. In my case, phone got accidentally connected just as it had reached the stage of flashing on the new ROM. Was thinking it was probably unresponsive because the ROM instructions that enable it respond to key combinations are absent hence cant get it into Bootloader mode.
@ incognito_tkd: Any luck with the disassembly? Would like to know your findings.
I have same problem... same situation
But... when I connect my USB charger, it shows red LED on... as if the charging is ON. But no reaction
Any one help please
there is no possibility to repair the phone... you have to send it to acer !!
i got my phone 1month after i´ve send it

You are in Download mode somehow, disconnect any cords and and hold the power button down until the Vibrant screen comes one let go and it should reboot.
If not, try pulling your battery then starting it up as normal and it should reboot.
Unless you jacked something up prior... No Odin or flashin mods? How did you try "resetting"?
This (you situation) can happen because the buttons for power and volume are directly opposed from each other, its real easy to squeeze both which can put you in download mode.
Good luck! Report back if you're back to normal, I mean the phone.
Didn't work. I tried resetting by removing the battery then placing it again. I also tried the one where you hold the volume button down and press the power button and nothing. Phone remains in download mode. Earlier today I did manage to get to the Vibrant screen but the phone seemed to have turnedd off (it had low batt). But right after it turned back onto the download screen and stood there for a while so I think the battery wasnt that low. Any other ways to pop this phone back to normal ?
I am messing with the phone as I type this, right now I actually got the Vibrant screen where it says samsung right under it. It seems to stay there for about 15 seconds then the phone reboots to the "Vibrant" screen again. Just thought i'd post it to give you guys a better idea of whats up. Sorry guys I know I sound pretty dumb but im a phone freak that just loves using phones, when it comes to the technical parts though I know nothing as you can see lol. Thanks in advance for the help !
possible boot loop
it sounds like you might be in a boot loop problem. before the problem happened were you flashing any roms? if so maybe the error may have happened there and that is why you cant get it to load up, if this is the case a fast odin flash back to stock should fix the problem for you.
here is a link to where you can find info about odin. Just make sure you read everything if you choose to go this route.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
also make sure you get the newest version of odin which is 1.7 i believe it is much more stable in my experiences.
if you have any problems or need help with anything feel free to ask or pm me and ill help the best i can, plus there are loads of amazing people on the boards here that will be able to help you as well. good luck and keep in mind as long as you can get into download mode (android with shovel) your phone is never truly broken.
Hey Guys
I really need your help.
My G2's screen won't turn on, but the led, touch, and sound still working.
I don't know how this happen.
I've root my phone, based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887.
I really need your help,thanks
I might have had the same problem. Screen or phone would just not turn on. The volume buttons would beep. Plugged in the charger then screen turned on a minute later. Knock knock did not work either.
Leave more detailed details. Did it go blank soon after rooting or are just mentioning that you rooted with that method? What else have you done with your phone out of the ordinary? Which carrier version do you have? Do you have TWRP recovery? Which version? Do you know how to use IRC? There is an IRC channel mentioned in that thread you linked that could help you in real time.
As far as what I know about your issue? No idea, but I wish you luck in figuring out your problem.
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...

I did that, it appears the back light went out some how while rebooting . Unless there is some software reason this would happen it decided to die for no reason during rebooting. If i take a flashlight and shine it over the phone i can see the screen is actually on. If this is something that can be caused by software and someone knows how to fix it please let me know.

i was also faced that issue but after holding power button my phone turned on. try to reboot into recovery . if it doesn't work than try to reboot into bootloader mode .if there are still issue occur than open this link hope it will help u https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...pair-hard-bricked-phone-x52x-sd-t3648348/amp/
The phone always turns on , i can get into any mode i need to the backlight just doesn't seem to work anymore . I thought the phone somehow bricked and i managed to flash it with various roms including the one you linked to a moment ago with no luck . This is the strangest thing that has happened to me in about 10 years of flashing phones . I never had any display problems before this , i was using it seconds before a reboot only for the backlight to stop working .
If anyone has a fix for this Let me know meanwhile i'm ordering an honor7x from amazon prime because i need a phone .
Thank you for your help i appreciate you trying :crying:
Might be worth trying a new screen package, less than $20 on aliexpress, before throwing the phone away.
