Bricked?

Editing this as I'm desperate for help and things have moved on since I first posted, below is where I am up to post 11 of this thread.
I flashed Vegacomb b (exe), it restarted but stayed on the warning about paying for vegacomb for 10-15 minutes which didn't seem right so I held power for 6 seconds and it turned off. After that it would never turn on or go into recovery (I know all the methods, none worked).
Today I unhooked the battery, when I plug the battery back in the screen comes on for a second but then it's as it was, unresponsive. HOWEVER, if I plug the mains in with the battery disconnected then it immediately tries booting but still sticks at the warning (left for over 20 minutes). If I plug the battery in while on this screen then remove the mains it stays on. The power button is unresponsive through this so I still cannot get into recovery.
Any more ideas that haven't been mentioned?
I've tried well over 100 times to get into recovery but it's not happening
anyone willing to have a go at fixing (cheaply!) if I send them it?
Original Post:
Hi guys, just managed to (re?) install Vegacomb (b, from exe), it restarted but stayed on the white screen with the warning text about paying for Vegacomb for over 10 minutes so I held down the power button to turn it off, now I cannot do anything to boot it up (tried holding power button down from 0.5 seconds to 60 seconds!), it also won't boot into recovery. Is there anything at all that can be done to get this going?
cheers

OK, I've tried holding down back while plugging in (fully charged btw), tried all variations of button presses with back and power, with and without USB, with and without power cable.
Only got until 10PM (UK time) to get this sorted (it's now 6PM) so any help/advise would be appreciated

Flash back to modded stock then try again.
From modded stock go app drawer and run recovery
From recovery wipe data, cache then go advance then wipe dalvik
Then press back
Then install zip from SD
Choose vegacomb from whatever directory on your SD you copied it to then confirm
If you ain't Got Vegacombe zip then download it.
Or you could run the .exe again but the above is my preferred method.
Also you might need to download modded stock v2 if you ain't already got it.
Good luck.

the Vega won't turn on and won't go into recovery, cannot flash anything, nothing comes up on PC, tried all variations of the back and power buttons (inc back, plug in power & usb, press power, leave 2 seconds and release back) over 100 times. it's like it's dead.
the only thing it does is show a blue LED when I plug the power cable in

I've read that if you got less than 50 or 60% battery it wont go into flash mode (back button 2 seconds - power & back 2 seconds)
Have you got enough battery cause mine takes half a day to charge.

100% (solid blue LED), been on charge for over 24 hours

I'm baffled mate, I've had same issue couple of times but after 10mins or so I've always got it to power back on.

Bricked
I've had the same problem and although quite drastic, remove the rear cover and unplug the battery connection (the multipin one with red and brown/black wires).
With the mains plug out,i found that if you press volume up and power with the wires unplugged and leav eit for a few mins then use back + power it will start as you need it to.
It may take a few tries but i have managed to do it following this procedure about 7-8 times.
Hope this helps.

I had trouble getting into recovery when the Vega was 100% charged (i.e. charge led was solid blue). When I let it discharge a little so it was flashing with the charger plugged in, I managed to get into recovery then.

I can't discharge it though as it doesn't turn on, left it 14 hours from last night, back at work again now and it still says fully charged
got the battery disconnected now to give it a try

Disconnected battery for around 10 minutes, put it all back together, still can't boot or get to recovery
EDIT: it works when the battery is disconnected (goes to the Vegacomb warning screen but no further, cannot power off or get to recovery still)
any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas?
it's meant to be unbrickable from what I've read so there must be a way around it but I'm out of ideas!

its user error. remeber to put it into recovery mode you need the power cable plugged into it too as well as usb.

Hi, this may not help but i had trouble flashing the stock rom because of the battery being fully charged, could only get the screen to light up so left it over night and then went through the normal routine and got into recovery.

Hi there
Just one question, how do you know for sure it hasn't gone into nvflash mode?
I know what you are going through trying to get the ruddy thing into nvflash, it's a mare if you don't quite get that timing right but seeing as the screen doesn't light up when it's in nvflash what is telling you whether you are actually in it, other than the screen coming on to say you are not or relying on a windows message?
As I said I had the same problems many a time but I use Audi tool now to tell me if nvflash has started, I got it off the Modaco forum, but when you are in nvflash it actually tells you so rather than relying on perhaps windows to tell you it has happened
If you haven't come across the audi tool before then just do a search for it on Modaco, I don't know if they have got it here on XDA.

wow, i'm quite surprised by the number of people who are taking their batteries out when they think there is a problem. You should never need to do this unless it is actually faulty.
Ok yes the Vega is nearly indestructible I have had my in a complete mess many times and have never had to do anything that hard to recover. Some times it will be a pain to get into nvflash mode but this can always be done just have to be patient and know a couple of tricks.
If you have tried the back button and then the power a few times and nothing there is another method.
Instead unplug the power then hold the back button down, whilst holding down the back button plug in the power release the back button after a couple of seconds (I like to count to 5)
I am hoping that you already have the USB cable connected and the right drivers installed on your PC.
Billy..
If you need more help head over to TabletRoms and look in the Vega forum (sorry XDA guys just there is a lot of other useful information there)

TabletRoms has been no help for me, there's been no reply at all for my problem but there has here and at MoDaCo. I pulled the battery as a last resort as NOTHING is working, I've tried all the tricks at least 2 dozen times, some a hundred +, including the one you mention

Well I don't want to teach you to suck eggs, but I take it you did use Audi to delete and replace your drivers.
And then when powering on the Vega you held the back button for 2 secs and then the back and power buttons for 6 secs to get the Vega detected?
For me I can only see that there can only be 3 other possible causes
1./ the back button is broken on the vega
2./ The USB port on your PC or on the Vega has gone up the swanee
3./ The USB lead is no good
The Vega may be unbrickable but if the back button or the USB port has had it then .....

Yeah, tried it, cheers.

Nexus 4 wont turn on

Hey everyone, Im having a problem thats making me worry. I was using my phone today and for some reason the phone wont turn on after I turned it off. I havent dropped the phone at all and it hasnt been abused in any way. The last thing I was doing before I turned it off was trying to send feedback for the Yahoo Mail app because it wouldnt sync automatically, but even that was unsuccessful because it wouldnt send. So I thought I should just reboot it but afterwards its not turning on at all.
I tried holding the power button for at least 20 seconds and still nothing is happening, and I tried plugging in the power cord to see if that would help but it hasnt. Has anyone gone through a similar issue? Please Help
Thanks.

Leave it plugged in for fifteen minutes without touching it.

Try holding volume up + power to see if you can get into recovery then reboot from there.
Also, give some more details about your setup...
Rooted/Stock/What Rom/Kernel?

Yea I left it alone for a bit and then I held the power button while holding down both volume rockers and somehow it turned on. I dont know why this happened but I'm just glad it turned back on, it gave me a good scare though. I just hope it doesnt happen again

Mine is completely stock, I havent done anything with it yet

And may I ask what was your battery percentage level like after the short charge? Maybe the phone drained it all just being turned off... There were some cases of this here...

i wanted to add that i had a similar problem with my phone not turning back on. However, I managed to fix what was wrong by just plugging in the usb cable. I know you've tried it, but just in case someone else stumbles upon this thread (like me!) and has a problem turning on their nexus, I wanted to share my experience.
I haven't done anything to my phone other than add my old apps to my Nexus since I received it 1.5 weeks ago. It's stock. I've never dropped it or gotten water on it or anything. I charged it overnight last night and stuck it in my purse on the way to work. I think I briefly saw a working screen after I unplugged it this morning. However, the first time I tried to access my phone today was after I got to work. It wouldn't turn on, though that pinkish light at the bottom was still blinking. I tried calling it and the Nexus wouldn't ring even though the call went through a few rings and then onto voicemail. I tried holding down the power button for a while and also holding the power button with the volume keys to see if that would work, and it did not. Finally I borrowed a usb cable to plug it in, hoping the jolt of power would wake it up. That worked. It gave me the charging symbol for a little bit and then gave me the startup/loading screen with the glowing x made of arrows. I checked my battery and it was at full charge. Well, it was at 85%, which is odd since I plugged it in for about 9 hours last night to charge and there has only been 3 hours of non-use since I unplugged it. Also, if it was really turned off during those 3 hours it shouldn't have ate up any battery. Anyway, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents in case anyone else has this problem. My brother, who gave me the Nexus, told me that he only has 2 weeks to return it if there's something wrong with it or I don't like it. Needless to say this gave me a scare, since the 2 weeks is almost up.

Yes this happened to me the other night. I was making a phone call and accidentally hit the power button. I then tried to turn the screen back on in order to hang up the phone and it would work. I tried holding the button for 15 seconds, tried pressing the volume up/down keys, and still nothing. I then put it back in my pocket for a minute or so and tried again. When I did that the screen came back on and the call was still active. Very strange, and I hope it doesnt happen again....

Same thing is happening to me right now.
Running stock. Not rooted. Phone charge was around 70% and I was on twitter and the app force closed. So I decided to restart my phone then went to turn it back on and it wont respond. Tried holding down the power button for 20 sec. Volume up and power, volume down and all 3 at the same time. Still nothing. Leaving it on the charger for awhile and the screen is blank no battery logo or anything.
Not quite sure what to do now?

That's scary

I try hold Power + Volum Down - or Volum + but get same result.
I plug in Adater and wait for it. I will check it 2 hour later.
My Nexus 4 use Stock Rom, Rooted. and this first i get this problem. Please advise me on this case. Thank
:laugh:

I'm having similar problems. Lots of random rebooting and refusals to turn back on sometimes, even though the LED at the bottom is flashing so i know the phone is still powered up. Also, sometimes when i have it plugged into a computer through usb it will get extremely hot and completely shut down, not turning back on for a long time. I called the google play store and someone is going to get back to me. I love my nexus 4 so i hope i can get this fixed or a replacement.

I had this issue too a couple of times playing Pandora through my car's Bluetooth. That was when the Nexus 4 had 4.2.1. I have not had this issue with Pandora since the upgrade to 4.2.2.
However, I just now had this issue with Movie Studio app and exporting a video I edited. It turned off its screen like normal screen timeout but then would not come back on.
I had to Volume Up + Power button for a few seconds and then release to get it to reboot.

This same thing is happening to me. Haven't found a specific cause...

Just got the same issue
Today got mine not turning on.
Managed to turn it on by holding volume up and power button together for about 30 seconds while phone was on a stock charger. After that I saw blinking orange led. When I resolved buttons there was a battery pictogram. After pressing and holding power button I finally got turning on vibration and Google logo.
The only things a made after the charging were making few photos of my cat (from the lock screen) viewing them in gallery. Then I locked the screen and put the phone on a shelf. In a hour I was not able to turn it on.
My phone has stock rom and only few third party apps installed.
I got muy Nexus 4 on 21-Dec-2012. 4 days ago I flashed to Android 4.2.2 which phone dowloaded itself. After flashing phone was rebooted.
What I noticed is that it shows 70% battery. But It was fully charged few hours ago.
30% in 2 hours! In my opinion some service/app drained these 30% by using 100% of processing power that caused overheating and/or hanging.

I too have just had this problem. And I've had it previously when making calls, the screen simply won't respond at all, its quite annoying.
This morning my alarm went off and the screen wouldn't turn on, it went on for so long I almost threw the phone across the room. I eventually held the power button and volume down/up button and then the led blinked orange a few times and the phone reset, now it seems fine.
Its a very annoying problem, and could be very serious depending on what you are doing, might have to phone the play store and tell them.

This has happened to me twice now. First time was a month ago and the second time was this morning. Phone was at 100% just woke up checked my messages turned off phone 10 min later it will not turn on. Un plugged cord re plugged cord nothing finally pressed up/down vol and power for about a minute (long minute) and the phone rebooted. YIKES!
Every thing seems normal now but I hate that scare and the fact that it has happened to me twice. Full Stock, not rooted.

Happened second time.
I was able to turn it on again by following the same steps. But this time I got some strange issue: after resolving vol+ and power buttons I saw battery pictogram with some frame with a blue background; when phone finally booted up this frame and blue background were visible through the my desktop background an screen itself was much lighter with pure colors. Only after about 5 soft resets screen seems to became nice again. Each reboot caused blue frame to become less visible. I'm confused and worried.
Also during all these reboots this frame with blue background was visible even in behind "Google" and "X" logos during booting up.
Another strange thing is that on screenshots I made this frame is not visible.

That would have to do with LCD or software..
As the battery & Google are just pictures that change. If you understand what in saying lol ?

[Q] S4 won't turn on, looks dead

Hi.
So, yesterday evening I plugged in my Galaxy S4 I9505 (international, and running stock Android 4.2.2) since it had low battery, then set the alarm clock and went to bed. Today I woke up, checked my clock (not the phone's, my actual clock), and since it was earlier than when my alarm would ring I took the phone to check my emails a bit... only to find out that the phone was stuck on the lockscreen and was not responding to anything. Perplexed, I took the battery off, put it back on, switched the phone on and it seemed to work fine, only to freeze again after a few minutes. I took once again the battery off, put it back on, and this time it didn't turn on at all. I tried several times, tried also while charging, but it doesn't even seem to charge, the led is completely dead. I tried to boot into recovery, nothing. Once or twice when I tried to turn it on it would show on the upper part of the screen an extremely fast and small red text, like the ones you see in recovery but red instead of green, but it was so fast in appearing ad disappearing that I didn't even have time to read it.
Then I tried googling the problem, and of all the different methods only one seemed to work: take off the battery for 10 seconds, put it back on, press volume down + power + home. Which I did try before, but without waiting before putting in the battery again. I tried it this time with the 10 seconds of waiting (while not plugged in to the charger), and it worked. The screen asked if I wanted to flash a CR or just restart. I choose restart. The phone immediately died again and didn't turn on, not even with the method that worked a few seconds before.
I haven't been able to turn it on since then, and I've tried everything. I'm quite desperate, because I have AADD and I do everything with my phone, it's my lifesaver and the only thing with which I'm able to organize and remember stuff (including my daily meds). Also the only thing I never forget to bring with me. I literally can't stay more than a full week without it, is there anything I can do or try to make it work again?

Is there really no one who can help me?

Hard Bricked Samsung galaxy s7 edge

Hi! I managed to hard brick my galaxy s7 edge and i wanna see if someone here knows if its hard bricked or soft.
Got root and had renovate rom 2.0 ( n7 port) then i wiped my phone and flashed renovate 3.3 (s7 edge stock)
my phone worked fine on startup and i started to restore my old apps through gmail. i thought it would take a while so put my phone in my pocked and let it be fore about 20 minutes then when i took it up it was complete dead. i had about 67% before it died i tried everything (vol up down home all together) for at least 15+ sec. had it charge over the night ( i noticed that the phone didnt get warm or any leds shown) in the morning i tried everything again and nothing. when i connect my phone to my computer i hear the connect sound and then it disconnect a sec later. if i hold power button down and connect it ( and dont release power) my computer recognize it as onyx8890 and if i release powerbutton it disconnects. cant boot it in any way whatsoever. so what do you think? its only a week old thats the worst part of it!
I have left it to the store I bought it from for warrantable but its still rooted and have a rom on it. well if its complete dead they cant see if its rooted so thats one good thing.
still want to hear you opinion
sorry for bad english

so, from what I understand, u cant boot into any mode, are u even able to see something on screen? (logo, boot screen, etc.) U can try JIG (it somehow make any samsung device go to download mode). otherwise idk.

Hi guys, I have the same problem with my S7 Edge.
Can anyone help?

OK. So I managed to recover my phone.
The phone was dead because of a software crash(nothing on display, no LED light, power+vol. down for reset not working) and when connected to my PC - nothing (just a connect and after 1 sec. a disconnect sound).
But if I kept the power button pressed without letting go, my PC would detect the phone as exynos8890.
I tried to keep pressing the power+vol. down while connected to PC and I realized that the combo worked because after ~7 seconds the phone would disconnect and reconnect itself (but still as exynos8890).
But I tried a different approach. While connected to the PC I tried to keep on pressing power+vol. down. And I could hear that it disconnected and reconnected. But I did not let go of the buttons. And again a connect and disconnect. And again. And after literally 5 minutes of the buttons kept pressed down without letting go and countless reconnects there was finally a change. The disconnect sound was not heard after the connect sound. At that point I stopeed pressing the buttons and when I looked at the phone I could see that the battery icon appeared. Since the phone was connected to my PC, after 1 min. the battery started charging (it was charged 31%). And after that my phone booted fine.

wow

Hi I have just bought an s7 which turned out to be a Korean G930L but I cant get any response out if it apart from the 2 bottom leds and and the blue one. No response from trying to get into recovery or download mode, basically a black screen though it does vibrate on what i think is start up. It is found by pc and Odin and charges ok, I can tell as I can see properties on pc. But no other response. Is it possible that the previous owner tried to root it using non korean rom or TWRP? Any advice on how to fix either getting TWRP on or screen to light up. I am sorry for being so vague I have pulled it apart and checked all of the connections, screen, motherboard etc but nothing. Or chuck it out or put back on eBay. I tried your idea but it only booted once in that 5 minute period so I tried without it plugged in and rebooted several times but still no screen response.

N910F seemingly dead. Black screen. No lights. Won't charge.

Hi there,
My Note 4 started playing up 3 weeks ago, it started to lag, freeze and reboot. I managed to bring it back to function as my daily driver (handy as I didn't have another phone!) with the Wake Lock app. Sometimes when I'd try to boot it up, it would be glitchy and it would take a while to fire up again, most often I'd have to boot into TWRP and wipe the cache, but then it would be fine. The wake lock app was set to auto run and all was good, apart from a major hit in battery life.
Today I started to set up my replacement N910F (bought used). It too was running stock MM, I'd rooted this one too and installed xposed. All was going well until I went to remove the sd card from the first phone. When I went to reboot.....nothing.
I tried to remove the battery and hold down the power button and then try again. Nothing. Tried holding down the power button for a few minutes with the battery removed and then trying again. Nothing. I even tried holding it down for a couple of minutes, putting the battery in for 10 mins and then trying to power it up. Nothing.
It doesn't show up on my PC or with Odin. Nothing happens when I plug it into the charger. I've tried 3 different batteries. All with the same end result. Nothing. :crying:
Is there ANYTHING I can do?

Today I started to set up my replacement N910F (bought used). It too was running stock MM, I'd rooted this one too and installed xposed. All was going well until I went to remove the sd card from the first phone. When I went to reboot.....nothing.
I tried to remove the battery and hold down the power button and then try again. Nothing. Tried holding down the power button for a few minutes with the battery removed and then trying again. Nothing. I even tried holding it down for a couple of minutes, putting the battery in for 10 mins and then trying to power it up. Nothing.
It doesn't show up on my PC or with Odin. Nothing happens when I plug it into the charger. I've tried 3 different batteries. All with the same end result. Nothing. :crying:
Is there ANYTHING I can do?

It's not the battery as I've tried the 3 that were working with the phone originally, and I've just tried the one form the "new" phone.
After looking through the link, that doesn't look like an option - the phone needs to be detected by the pc. Mine was connecting fine earlier, so I know it's not a lack of drivers. I makes a noise when plugged in, but then isn't shown.

It should be detected in device manager under ports section.
If the pc makes a sound when the device is connected, that means the device is fine. You can try the debrick method given on my thread.
Try it and report.
