Can you get into recovery? Your power button might be dead

Not that I know of. Your power button is dead I presume. If you see the battery charging animation it should mean your motherboard / main board is still alive..

if that is true

If this is true, do you have a suggestion for me?
I can not find anything on here with my similar situation. I dropped my nexus in the water. Put it on rice for like5 days. I charged it and got a charge signal, but when I powered it on, as soon as it got to the main screen it auto powers off. I replaced the battery with a new one AND did a factory reset. It still does the same thing.

which main screen? The Nexus main screen or the normal home screen?
It could either be
A - You might have low battery, leave it plugged in for a few hours and try turning it on
B - Your main/mother board is dead.

[Q] I think I'm f*cked

I know that you might heard of what I'm going to say tons of times but I searched the whole internet and still got no solution
I tried to update my motorola defy+ and then something went wrong, now, I'm stuck in a situation that I can't enter the
bootload or the recovery mode. all I see is a black screen(like the phone is off) and a white led above the screen(only when it's with the USB)
in added, no software on the PC do not recognize the phone when it's connected.
there's any way to solve this?

Switch off the phone, then press vol up and then the power button. See if the bootloader comes. I'm sure you ain't doing it correctly:laugh:

I've did it correctly, and I just did it again, nothing...

Does pressing both volume keys and holding them while you press the power button bring you to noman's land too?

I have the identical problem. I left the phone plugged into USB on the computer for 15 hours. No change. A wall charger does not turn the charging light (white light) on.
I have tried 3 or 4 different chargers and nothing helps.

If your system partition is corrupted it well never charge.
You must charge your battery with the MacGyver method or with another defy. Then you will be able to flash a sbf with RSD lite.

I'm facing the same issue after trying to install Quarx CM10 2nd Boot Build 09.07.2013. The Phone ran fine for some time and then died down. On Charging- battery would show ? when it was off so Tried the data wipe and reinstalling the ROM to the same consequence. Then wiped the system and after that disconnected the charger from AC outlet- after that- on ac charge- stuck at M Logo, and USB charging gives white LED. Able to enter bootloader with both VOL keys and power keys pressed- get message -
"motorola defy bootloader 09.10 battery low cannot program"
I'm not sure would be able to use MacGyver method, howver I can get an inexpensive universal charger to charge the battery- will it work?

Battery charger should work, and your problem should be fixed by a sbf flash

?? How exactly can he fix this problem without McGyver?? I don't see how this would be a good solution...
There's no harm in trying to charge the phone though, even though it might (will most likely) not work.

Thanks for all the help! appreciate it

Moto Up and Running using Mcgyver Cable!
Thanks all for the help. Could finally manage to get my defy working using the Mcgyver method.

OP had asked whether an universal battery charger could fix the problem. Low battery error would've been obviously fixed by charging the battery via an universal charger, which I recommended, or by MacGyver method, which he had said he may not be able to do. That's why I recommended it. Since he tried to charge it the regular way by simply connecting it to a wall outlet, it didn't work.

I can confirm that instead of the McGyver method, using a new battery restores the device to being able to be reflashed. Yes, you are starting all over, but instead of a brick, your Defy is back in service.
Thanks to everyone who made the suggestions. I'm sure the McGyver method works for some, but a new battery and a $5.00 charger from eBay restored my phone.

[Q] Phone doesn't turn on

My U8800 doesn't turn on... neither gives signs of life when plugged in AC
sometimes times this happened when i let battery go to 0%.. but then i removed battery wait and charge in AC..
now the battery was at 60 ou 70%.. i turned it off and removed battery to change Micro-SD and then the phone didn't turned on anymore.. :crying:
i hope it's the battery but it's strange.. :fingers-crossed:

Did you try to turn on phone while cable is connected without battery? Did phone boot on pink screen bootloader (press power key and hold vol + and - keys)

Phone won't turn on / respond to any combo of button presses

Hi all,
First post (be nice).
My phone (Oneplus Two) was fine last night (~80% battery) then i noticed it had switched off. There seemed to be no sign of life so I left it overnight.
This morning I tried vol down + power, vol up + power, just power, nothing seems to make a difference.
My computer doesn't seem to recognise the phone on usb connect either. I am not sure what to do!
There are no LED's on the phone either (not sure if that is important)
Thanks in advance! :good:

Charning?

Hello does it charge? Like when you plug it to a charge, will the LED glow? If not I would try to send it back for repair it could be your MB is dead.
Or you can try full recovery... if you install the special drivers it can kick in even with screen turend off. Worth a try

Hey, thanks for your advice. There is no LED when the phone is plugged in and the recovery didn't seem to connect to the computer.
I am at a loose end

So even the guide didnt helped? Phone was not registered via the drivers to the app? In that case open an RMA with OnePlus or waranty with your seller

Hey,
I think that might be the only option. Nothing happened when I tried the recovery steps. Think it may be hard bricked!
Thanks

Waranty

If you have a valid waranty OnePlus has no problem to fix your phone.

Mi A1 hard bricked !!!

Hello everyone,
My mi a1 is having serious issue it is not responding to anything No led blinking, Unable to enter into fastboot mode , tried getting into EDL mode via test points but no response and mobile is not showing any sign of life.
This condition is happened when i connected my A1 to a fast charger. There is no issue when charging via fast charger as the battery condition was not good. The problem is when the electricity is gone the mobile switches on and off and that’s what happen.
Note :- There is no hardware issue as i got it checked by mobile repairing center. He said that there is a software issue.
Please help me

Keep the phone for charging using the original charger for about half-to-one hours. Then boot it by pressing the Vol Down + Power key while keeping the charger connected. See if this makes any difference.

IMO, if it was a software issue, your phone might have shown some sign of life, like a vibration or the notification LED blinking when connected to the wall charger or to the PC via USB.

You really already tried that exact process?
Because you replied after 20 minutes.
