Firstly I would like to say hello to the community and for the wonderful forum. So my problem is that I tried to downgrade my Huawei U8800 Pro from 2.3.5 (had a wifi problem) to 2.2.2 (yeah, I know, did it at my own risk) and after the update (downdate more likely) the phone restarted and just went black. I tried to taking the battery out, taking the SD card out, tried entering the pink screen mode (vol up + power, vol down + power, vol up + vol down + power don't work). Every time I try to enter pink screen mode or restore mode the phone just vibrates one time and nothing happens. Tried it without the battery and just with the usb plugged in, same thing, one vibration and darkness. So should I be heading to the warranty fellas or is there any way to fix this black death.
Thank you all for the replies.
P.s. sorry for my English, not my native language.
Searched the whole forum and found people just like me, the phone is dead apparently. I'll take it to my service provider in a few hours for a warranty check. (praying for a new phone without any hassle)

Ok, this is the wierdest thing i've ever seen. My Wildfire gone crazy these days. I have a red wildfire. It made me some problems before, when it was on the official firmware (2.1) like when someone was calling me i couldn't answer because the screen wouldn't react at my actions. I have decided to root and load a custom rom and so i did. After i've rooted it with unrevoked i've loaded Wildpuzzlerom. Today at 6PM i put my phone at charging (the phone was turned off). Ten minutes ago, at 10:30 my phone was still showind the orange led. WTF? I disconnected my phone but the orange led was still there. I had to remove the battery, insert it and turn the phone on. Now it's working fine and the battery shows 100% percent. What has gone wrong?
Sorry for my bad english.
1: Not being able to receive calls sometime seems to be a normal issue. This has happened to most people, even on Stock ROM's. There's a thread somewhere on this. No solution yet, I guess.
2: The phone not being able to charge when switched off (Or rather, bot being able to turn on / freeze) is a Clockworkmod bug. It is a known bug, and, there is nothing to be worried about. If your phone does power off due to low battery, and , you need to charge, then, after charging, Press Vol Down + Power to switch on your phone. You will not need to go through the Battery removal process.

Correct key sequence is power button + vol down button + trackball button (reboot function)

Hi all, i have a ZTE blade which i have rooted and flashed CM 7.0 successfully without upgrading the radio to GEN2. I've done this and much more without problems, however today for some reason the phone isnt even powering on. The only thing i did before was installing theft aware 2.0. Note that i dont have a SIM card inserted so it's unlikely that someone have sent a command that turned the phone into a... vegetable.
I tried removing the battery and trying to turn it on, nothing. I tried connecting it to the USB power charger without a battery, still nothing. This phone is supposed to be a birthday gift for my friends 30th birthday, so i'd really appriciate help getting it back to life.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I've tried the following: with ADB devices the phone dosen't show up.
Trying entering field test mode with VOLUME DOWN + POWER key does not do anything. same result with VOLUME UP + POWER.
Tried different USB cords without success.
Have you tried holding volume up & down together along with the power button. Make sure you have the usb cable connected from the phone to a pc. So long as you have the zte drivers, it should show up in DFU mode in device manager (from what I remember).
I think from there you can flash recovery using fastboot again.
I tried that, nothing happens. Thing is, the phone dosen't give any kind of life signal at all, not even the button backlights turns on during charging. Could it be that it suffers from a hardware defect? Or is there more things i can try?
Yeah sounds like you may have a hardware issue; especially if none of the LEDs flicker on when trying the above.
hmm, ....out of ideas for now fella.
Any news on this?
I am having the exact issue, phone is like a real brick:
- Won't do anything when trying to press power and/or any other buttons one by one or at the same time
- Won't do anything with or without battery
- Won't do anything when pluging it to the USB/Charger, not even a led response
- I've tried with and without sim, with and without sd card, trie everything and still nothing, seems complketely without any kind of life inside. The only thing it does is get heat when you put it to charge with battery
I had it with cyanogen 7, max overclock to 710mhz, min arround 200, and it happened (turned off) 5 minutes after I installed Launcher Pro...
Any ideas?

I actually gave up and sent it in for service which returned me a brand new one. I suspect that ZTE dosen't have much of quality controls since a friend also suffered a case of "true-death" on her unmodified ZTE blade...
Similar issue here. If I press the power button (with or without any combination of other buttons) it just vibrates - no lights, display or sound. Doesn't power on so no fastboot/adb etc. Same behaviour with battery, charger, or both. If I hold the power button the vibration sort of pulses, a vibration every 0.75 seconds or so. I recently opened it up to get dust out from behind the screen, so no warranty :-(
Will ask at the shop what the options are for maybe paying for a repair..

Your issue is different than the one i had, you phone is at least being powered on since its vibrating.
Most likely you broke when you opened it or you simply didn't reassemble it correctly - if i were you i'd do it again and check that all the connectors are connected.
If its a software issue, you can always try TPT - total phone transfer. google it, i read it but didnt try it myself so i cant vouch for how it works.
Hi all,
I've been reading alot on this forum but never posted anything.
Most of my problems were solved by reading the solutions found by other members with the same problem.
This time that trick doesn't work for me anymore
Here is my problem.
A few days ago the phone went dead after the battery run out of juice (a Mugen extended 3000 Mah battery).
After connecting the phone to a charger I noticed that I didn't see the battery icon on the screen that used to show up during charging.
After a couple of tests I noticed that the phone actually did boot up but the screen doesn't show any signs of life.
I can both hear (tmobile tune) and feel (vibration) the phone booting up.I can even hear it ringing when calling the phone with my other phone but the screen stays black and doesn't show any signs of life.
I must add the following information:the phone has been used extensively as a gps tracker in my car.
Is there a way to solve my problem?
I hope someone can help me out with this weird and unexpected problem.
Thanks in advance!
if you put the phone into download mode does the screen work?
pull the battery and put it back in again
hold vol down home button and with these two buttons held then also hold the power button
if you can see the screen and can see download mode continue to flash stock rom via odin (search for how and note all data on phone will be lost)
if you cant see the screen in download mode chances are you have a hardware fault and should take it to a repair shop for diagnostics

either your screen/backlight is faulty or there is a loose connection
if its a backlight you can normally still see somethiing if you hold the screen at an angle
if its the screen itself or a loose connection the screen wont turn on
you will need to take it to a repair shop for testing and repair
I had rooted my dad's lg g2( D802) and installed twrp using an app named autorec as it was recommended by many people in the internet and had very high ratings and downloads in the play store. Everything was fine for a few weeks till I noticed that the app had an update. So I flashed twrp again from the app hoping it was a newer version and it said it completed the operation successfully. Then I just used the phone for sometime and after that I switched off the phone to enter the recovery. After it switched off, I pressed the button combination for entering the recovery but nothing came up. Then I attempted to just boot the phone and kept pressing the power button but nothing came up. I even kept pressing the button for upto a minute to hard reboot it in case it was just a case of hanging but nothing came up.After that, I plugged it in for charging and attempted to boot again. After I kept pressing the power button for about 30 seconds while charging, the led blinked red 8 times, paused and repeated itself as long as I kept holding the power button.
The problem is that it even the screen doesn't turn on.
I searched for this issue and saw that many others were facing this issue. I tried the following solutions given by them which did not work:
1) Holding the power button for a long time
2) Keeping it for charging until it's full but nothing comes up and the phone got heated up very much untill I stopped it a few hours later.
3) Removing the back cover and detaching the battery power cable from the phone after after waiting for sometime, reattaching it.
My dad showed it to the lg repair centre but they told him they need to replace the whole board which is very expensive, especially considering that it is a 2+ year old phone. My dad is very angry at me and probably won't let me touch his phones ever again if I don't fix this. Please help me.
Thanks in Advance
Edit: the charge was at 45% when I switched it off. Don't think it is because of low battery
With the phone pluggged into your computer, does the computer recognize the phone? And if yes, what does Device Manager report it as being?

more info... what variant? phone does not boot.. can you press vol up then plug phone .. does download mode works... stay calmed this can be fixed..:fingers-crossed:
I haven't tried plugging it to the computer. The way to enter download mode is holding the volume up button right? Thank you for the suggestion. I'm away for a few days but I'll tell my dad to do so. I'll post what happens then. Variant is D802
OK I told him to do that. When he pressed the volume up button and then plugged it to his computer, 13 new partitions showed up in windows, and it is telling him that he needs to format the positions to use it. But nothing is coming up on the phone
Do NOT let Windows format the partitions(!)
Use the SRKTool instead to unbrick from qhsusb_bulk mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076
Afterwards use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the KDZ for your variant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It's better to let the battery charge to full first. Shut down the phone by holding PWR button for 10 seconds, then plug charger. It should work even in bulk mode.
Did you try these simple things...
shutdown phone keeping powerbutton down.
Start pressing power button & vol down....when you see LG logo for couple seconds. Release fingers and press vol UP and vol DOWN, same time. No power button.

But the problem is, even the screen doesn't turn on while on download mode. I'll surely try out the unbrick tool but will it work since normally, the download mode screen comes up. That thing is 760mb. I think it'll take some time for it to finish. (Ultra slow internet connection )

The lg logo doesn't come up when I do that. If fact, even the screen does not turn on
Thank you guys! Srk tools worked! Again thank you very much
I am sorry if this is a dumb thread I am just worried. I was watching my Poco M3 update up to 60%(my battery was on 68% before starting the update) then I started to watch TV and didn't pay much attention to the phone. When I looked at it it was off and i thought that maybe it is just in the process of rebooting or its already on the lock screen .Because I thought it may still be rebooting I just placed my finger on the fingerprint reader because I didn't want to risk turning it of by pressing the power button. My phone didn't respond at all. I haven't tried to hold the power button because I'm worried that its still in the process of updating. What should I do ?
Never mind. I had to hold the power button for 10 seconds and it turned on. I am sorry for wasting your time. I was so worried since it was a new phone and I couldn't afford a new one. I am sorry again.
This post was usefull, it happened to me too. The phone wouldn't even show an image when connected to a charger. I waited for a while, entered Fastboot succesfully and then, after the second (on the first one remained stuck on the MIUI screen) 10s power button push, it succesfully booted
It happened also to me during update to 12.0.8.0, but I used Power and Vol+ and then Reboot to System.
It was a moment of anxiety.
It happened to me to. It is a branch new phone and I got so worried that I might just have bricked it. Fk Xaomi.
just happended with me right its on MIUI Screen hope its get on
Update: Just Booted In Fastboot Its on Screen now
Same thing just happened to me too. My phone is not turning on at all. I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds as discussed here, tried fast booting, tried connecting charger and starting. Nothing is working. Going into panic mode.
**UPDATE***
After leaving the phone alone for 24 hours in which time it was completely unresponsive to anything I tried, I connected the charger and just pressed power button and it decided to just start normally. POCO needs to address this situation.
**UPDATE***
Phone is not responding again after restrating. I give up on this phone.
