I installed cyanogen and TWRP on my fire a couple days ago. It was working fine but today i was playing a game boy emulator and it shut off on me. the battery was completely dead at the time (i was playing plugged into a wall, and it had been totally dead for about half an hour) so i figured i just bumped the cable or something, the problem is it won't charge. when i plug it in to a wall, PC, what have you. it boots to the fire logo and asks me to press power to enter recovery (as it should) but then it just turns off and shows the same screen. i left it alone for an hour and it was still doing this. when i try to power on without being plugged in absolutely nothing happens. I've tried my usb cord and two different chargers, all of which work with my phone perfectly.
i think this is a hardware issue(please tell me otherwise) which would suck because I'm pretty sure everything i did voided my warranty. any suggestions or am i just boned?
well i contacted customer support and they didn't seem to care at all about the root, they told me it was a battery issue and are sending me a new one. good news for anyone wondering if rooting voided warranties, it doesn't.
That's great to hear that Amazon isn't going to be a **** about it. It is one thing if someone screws it up because they rooted but a hardware issue is a hardware issue and it is a good sign that they are not looking to screw you merely because you happened to have rooted coincidentally to having gotten a dud unit.
this same thing happened to me it seems. I was playing a game and my KF died. so I charged it for awhile but now its in the same type of weird loop, just like yours. Even after successfully issuing commands to change the bootmode etc, which I can only do like 1% of the time since it keeps rebooting. Hope its not a hardware issue though
it is a hardware issue, at least thats what amazon said. i fixed mine yesterday though, plug it in wait for the loop BS to start and hold the power button until it stops completely, then wait about 20 seconds release and press the power button again. I've had to do this twice today too, so definitely get a new one sent out, but it works for now.
I wonder how friendly Amazon will be after replacing a few thousand of these because people are screwing them up???
Seriously haven't seen this many "help I bricked my device" threads ever in a forum.

There are a lot of "I bricked my device" threads but the vast majority are having driver issues or stuck in the wrong boot mode. Almost everyone I have seen posting with a problem gets it sorted out and has their Kindle Fire working again.
The OP here appears to have a genuine hardware problem, according to Amazon, and didn't "screw anything up".
So last night I hard bricked my nexus 4. its rooted, with cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM, and ive never had any issues with this phone. I have no idea what happened, but I sent a text message to someone, and it powered itself down. it was fully charged when this happened, so I know its not the battery. ive done some research, and its a true hard brick. no bootloader, no recovery, I just get a red/orange flashing light if I hold down the power button. google said im still under warranty, and they will still replace it even with it being rooted. My question is, is it possible to fix without having to get a replacement, or JTAG? If anyone has had any success, please help.
And like I said, I was only sending a text. I have no idea why it bricked, it restarts itself once in a while randomly, but this time it didn't turn back on.
Try plugging it into the wall for about 5 minutes then try turning it on again. If it doesn't work, RMA it. Why would you risk your warranty and JTAG it?

No, I DONT want to JTAG it. im looking for alternatives. if its possible to fix a hard brick without JTAG or using my warranty. If at all possible, I want to fix it, because I have a lot of pictures and everything on there that I would like to get out of it. I don't want to lose them. JTAG is my last resort if I cant get it replaced, but they said they would. I want my stuff off it though.

This is your last hope. If it doesn't work, RMA it and request for your data to be saved. Not sure if they can do it, but just ask.

thank you I really appreciate it. im gonna try it out and see if it works.
This might be a noob question, but ive never heard of download mode. is it the same as recovery mode on the nexus 4?

ok so if the nexus 4 wont go into download mode, or fastboot, or anything else, I have no choice but to RMA it right? cuz the ONLY response im getting from it is a red/orange flashing light when I hold down the power button. other than that, nothing happens.

Did you press volume down first and then the power button both for a few seconds to get into fastboot mode?
Nope. The ONLY time it has any sign of life is if the charger is connected to it and I hold down the power button. If it's NOT connected to the charger, pressing the power button does absolutely nothing. I can't go into recovery mode, download mode, or the bootloader. I've tried charging it overnight, (and part of the next day) left it off the charger for over a week, it shows up as "Qualcomm-something" when I plug it into a computer, but I can't do ANYTHING with it connected to a computer either, and after I got my replacement, I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. There was still no change......I've literally done EVERYTHING short of JTAG. Trust me, I searched all over google, and XDA, and tried everything. As far as I know, hard bricking is rare, but it happens. And it just happened, to happen to me. So unless there's a solution someone knows of that I didn't just list, my last option is JTAG.
sinndissension said:
yep. ive done EVERY combination of holding down the buttons, no response. when I plug it in to a laptop, the laptop beeps, like the USB connection sound, but the nexus doesn't show up on the computer. I know the computer recognized what kind of phone it was, cuz the first time I plugged it in, I got a pop up message saying "installing qualcom drivers", or along the lines of that. other than that, NOTHING has worked. If theres ANY fix for this, id like to give it a try, cuz ALL my stuff is on there.

Try charging it for a while and try again in a few hours or better yet tomorrow. Sometimes that helps bro. If that doesn`t help you`ll have to take it in for repair an maybe they can salvage your data if they are wiiling to do that. Good luck.
I think it's just your battery(RLOD) instead of a brick.

I wouldn't be worried about your files stored on your phone because I think Google has more work to do than search in peoples pictures. What I would worry about is your warranty since you have a custom rom, unlocked bootloader and root...

Well, found out it WAS a hard brick. Google replaced it with my warranty. For some reason they returned my money before I even got the chance to send the broken nexus 4 back. Didn't even mail it. So I'm assuming I don't have to send it back. So I'm gonna JTAG the hard bricked nexus, and hopefully it'll work again.
Thanks everyone for your help.

You may not be doing it right. When I get the flashing light on mine it means I forgot to let go of the power button fast enough. When it vibrates, let go of power button immediately but keep pressing the volume. Does your phone vibrate a few seconds prior to the flashing light?

so i have the same problem. was about to tweet with full battery so my question is what did you end up doing? Did you fix it or abandon it?
Weird. I've had the "red light of death" 2 hours ago because i didn't put the phone on the charger and it had like 4%. Pressing Volume down + power got it to enter fastboot and i was able to start the phone normally so it's charging booted

Ok, I got mine replaced because it was still under warranty, and normally, the manufacturer cant tell its rooted or unlocked if its a true hard brick, (rooting and unlocking voids your warranty.) So i got mine replaced.
If your NOT under warranty still, your ONLY option if you want to fix it is JTAG. Google it, it costs about 50 bucks on average, but its cheaper than a Nexus 4. Research JTAG before you try it though. Or you have to buy a new one. I still have my only one, and i basically use it for parts for my newer N4.
Is it a true HARD brick, or just a soft brick?

its a hard brick. ive tried it all bought a new battery installed it etc. ive looked up jtag and i have the money but idk if i should do it. do you recomend it? i have no experience doing anything like it and im planning on getting the iphone 6 in the fall but i cant stand not having a phone till then especially since high school starts soon.
But the reason im sure its a hard brick is cuz when it shut down the battery was like 50 and charging and it froze for 25 seconds or so then shut down and refuses to boot or show any signs of life now except a blinking or solid red light but its not the red light of death because i replaced the battery therefore i came to the conclusion that it is hard bricked.
i know ive said alot of unecessary information but my question is do you think i should buy the jtag thing? do you reckon its easy to do? or maybe i could pay an experienced professional to do it?
thanks for the reply btw
I decided to start a thread because I noticed there were multiples about this issue. So 3 days ago I was on Facebook when my phone randomly froze. I pushed the power button, and that's when it began bootlooping. I instantly tried booting into recovery with no success. I was hopeful, however, because I could still access the bootloader. I got on my computer and began researching the issue and steps I could take to fix it. I tried every method out there and was unsuccessful. I ended up buying a Pixel today off Craigslist and am loving it so far. So anyway since my Pixel came with the OEM charger, and I had been using a non-oem ever since I had my 6P, I decided to plug in the OEM and see what happens. Within the first hour my 6P began to get very hot, almost to the point where I couldn't even hold it in my hand. Keep in mind the phone was still consistently boot looping the whole time. So I decided to unplug it. Well I left it sitting and went about my business and when I came back to my bed I noticed it was doing the Google boot animation!!!! I started freaking out! After it booted up I finished the tutorial stuff and just let it sit on the home screen for a second. I noticed the battery was low so I figured I would plug the charger back up and let it charge. Well in the time it has taken me to write this post, it just started boot looping again... Lol. So I just unplugged the charger AGAIN, to see if it will boot up again. To me, it seems like there might be a hardware issue with my battery. Anyway, my 6P was rooted and running nitrogen OS (wasn't running the latest build but was 7.1.)
what are the exact symptoms? and does it boot into bootloader and recovery if not what is it physically doing?

As of now it is still boot looping and no it doesn't boot into recovery. Only symptoms I've noticed is the phone starts to get extremely hot when I plug in the OEM charger that came with my Pixel. I figured they were the same so that's why I decided to use it since it was OEM.
I had a 6p that bootlooped eternally couldnt access boot or recovery, I sent it in and they sent a new one. Board was damaged.
I also had a nexus 5 that bootlooped and it turned out to be a bad power botton. the internal connection was broken so it would get power and lose power all in the same second, off and on but too fast to see other than seeing a bootlooping device. that was fixed with a new power button which had to be soldered on.
if not on warranty you could take to a cell phone repair shop maybe they might be able to fix the issue.

It is under warranty, but the sad part is that I no longer have the receipt for it. I got the phone off Craigslist and the guy gave me the original box and receipt but I managed to lose it. I haven't been able to get it to fully boot back up again since last night. I'm not that worried about it anymore because I already have a new phone, but I wouldn't mind if it were to some how fix itself lol.

my first bootloop years ago i thought the same.
it wont fix itself. its not a software isssue because youd be able to at least boot into bootloader. it sucks to hear the truth but thats the truth.
its a hardware issue and you could take it to a repair shop because they will inspect and fix. small drops that dont harm the device can ultimately cause small breaks in the solder joints so who knows what is wrong without inspection
So a couple weeks ago my Nexus 6P died.
I had just taken it off charge and it froze then just died. Became unresponsive and I can't boot it or boot it into recovery. So I have a paper weight at the moment.
Ever since, there has been a couple instances where I got the phone to boot into the Google logo and it will freeze there. Either that, or it will get into the loading animation and freeze on that. It will not turn off until I turn it off myself.
I've only been able to do this a couple times with it being on charge for an hour, unplugging it and plugging it back in whilst holding the power button. Trying to get into recovery with this method has proven unsuccessful.
When left until there is no charge on the phone, I am able to invoke the red blinking lights on the notification led by holding down the power button in any variation (e.g. vol down + power, vol up + power, etc)
The question is if anyone else has come across this issue before and if there is any fix?
I do not believe this is BLOD. Maybe fried mobo or maybe battery is bad.
I can't RMA the device back to Google as I bought the phone whilst I was working in Japan and I bought it from Google Japan and I am know back in the UK.
So they apparently follow local warranty. I've spoken to them about 3 times about this and refuse to budge. Huawei are also no help as I bought the device from overseas, they said they aren't allowed to send any devices from Asia to their UK service centre.
So I'm kinda stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I don't have the bootloader unlocked nor have I got debugging enabled (I don't think).
Its pretty much as it was outta the box. Only things I tinkered with was enabling dev options in the settings but that is as much as I've done really. But haven't messed around with any of those settings.
The device is all stock.

I don't think so. Sorry, I'm not super technical.
Not wanting to make a new thread when this seems to be relevant; I appear to be experiencing the same issues as the OP.
I was at work and I noticed that my phone had switched off. I assumed it had ran flat and I hadn't noticed so plugged it in when I got home to no avail. The following day I was playing with the power button; holding it down for a period and pressing thinking it might be a loose connection and eventually it did turn back on but only for a few hours and since then the only response I get is a red LED when pressing the power/volume button whilst on charge.
I have replaced both the battery and the charging port/daughter board but this does not appear to have resolved the issue. Is there something I am missing or is my phone now a very expensive paperweight? If that is the case this will be the second Nexus device I owned which died in similar circumstances not long out of it warranty; I had a Nexus 6 which died after a year which I replaced with the 6P and it may be that the same thing has happened.
Any help, advice or suggestions anyone can give would be much appreciated!
Edit: Answering a question asked previously with regards to more information my bootloader is unlocked however I can't remember if USB debugging was enabled. I have a feeling that it is disabled as a work around for Magisk Hide and passing SafetyNet.

BLOD is a bad motherboard. If you can't access Recovery and are bootloader locked, you're at the end of the road.
Have you tried to keep it plugged in then hold the volume down button and power button at the same time, and hold it hard for a while and see if it goes to the recovery partition.
Otherwise, why don't you bring to a hardware store and talk to someone?

So I've spoken to Huawei on a whim and found out that my phone is under warranty so I am waiting on a return delivery envelope to go to one of their Service Centres however I would like to at least try to restore back to stock and re-lock the boot loader as I have managed on a few occasions to get the phone to boot to the 'Google' logo before it would then shut down. I have since plugged the phone in to my laptop and "QHSUSB__BULK" appears in Device Manager.
I have Wugfresh's NRT 2.1.9 but this does not pick up fastboot or adb. Is there any other tool I should be aware of or a driver I haven't got installed? Is this something anyone has come across or managed to resolve before?

I'm not holding my breath on them actually fixing or replacing it as I have done a DIY battery replacement a little while ago (though I did replace with an OEM battery) but I figure it's worth a shot and worst case scenario I'll hold out for Oct 4th and hope the Pixel 2 XL rumours are right and it will have a similar screen design to the Galaxy S8+.
I love the look of the Infinity Display but will not have a Samsung.

Final update. Apparently Huawei are struggling with a parts shortage and don't know when parts will be come available so they have offered me a "Limited Edition" Gold Mate 9. I'm not entirely happy about this arrangement as I really loved my 6P but they have had my 6P for about six weeks and I haven't had a fully working phone since August 18th so I'm left with little other choice since I can't afford the P2XL.
Thanks for your help and in general to everyone in the 6P threads who have helped me out of the past 18 months.
Hello dear community,
I'm posting there because I have some doubts about my phone and i'd like some answers from you.
1 month ago, I was charging my phone. When it reached 100% battery, It was fine but the problem is when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on but It didn't want to. So, I removed the battery because I couldn't even turn it off. When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button.
I followed EVERY tips on Google but none worked. I also tried to change my battery but nothing. I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on.
So, I guess my phone is dead unless if there is a solution to make it working? Also before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I have mustered some conclusions about your phone based on what you typed:
1st claim: The power button no longer works anymore
•Reason: "... when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on... it didn't want to... When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button."
—Seems like you're gonna have to find another Note 4 and replace its motherboard with the Note 4 whose power button doesn't work anymore after 5 years.
But before spending, I would like you to try this method from a Youtube comment:
"... you'll just have to keep the charger [cable connected] on [your phone] while you take off the battery, and put it back after; then, remove the charger quickly..."
—————
2nd claim: The screen no longer works
•Reason: "I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on."
—If the phone is charged, seeing nothing but blackness, but you still see an emitting LED light on the top-left corner, that's a sign that it still works, just not the screen. So I would suggest that you buy a new screen and replace it with your old one. If you think you can't, then go to a phone repair shop and let others do the repairing.
—————
3rd claim: The motherboard is dead
•Reason: "... before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting."
—The motherboard might be dead if these are happening, but I don't think this is the right reason unless the first two conclusions are proven to be true. If the first two conclusions are proven to be false, then the motherboard is dead, and you may either buy another Note 4 motherboard or get a new phone.

To answer you clearly about all the points you clarified, there is no led light appearing when putting it on charge and I also tried the "Youtube comment" but nothing.
So I think, the motherboard is dead as you mentioned. I just don't understand how it died after a charge but as I saw on Google, it's a general problem on Galaxy Note 4, so I think i'm not surprised at all. It's been since 2015 I had it.
Thank you for your time and to have solved my doubts about the death about my phone.

Hello dear community,
I'm posting there because I have some doubts about my phone and i'd like some answers from you.
1 month ago, I was charging my phone. When it reached 100% battery, It was fine but the problem is when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on but It didn't want to. So, I removed the battery because I couldn't even turn it off. When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button.
I followed EVERY tips on Google but none worked. I also tried to change my battery but nothing. I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on.
So, I guess my phone is dead unless if there is a solution to make it working? Also before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Put in cold fridge for 30 min without battery, then try to turn it on. If not, try the cardboard method under the emmc chip (search youtube)

Is this a serious thing ? (fridge)
I did the oven trick on my n910t. I left my phone stuck in the grill of my truck when I changed the brakes. I took it for a test drive and ended up running over the phone. Me being a noob at the time didn't know the AT&T Note 4 would not unlock Bootloader for custom roms or custom recoveries. I purchased the AT&T Note and was sorely disappointed there after. Flash 2019 I still have the motherboard for my note that I ran over. I can only get in to go into download mode and only when it was plugged in. I flash custom ROM or custom recovery and it would say would pass but it would just boot loop and boot loop. So I read somewhere where you can put it in the oven for around 5 to 6 minutes at about 200° and that it would settle any of the cracked solder that be around the emmc or anywhere else on the board. So I tried it. I stuck it in two different times at five minutes a piece, pull the board out and let it set for a day. I installed the board just a little while ago and she fired right up. It's amazing
I've recently replaced the motherboard on my N910F with a used one bought from AliExpress. As it's used I've no idea how long it will last but for £30 was worth a try.
It was pretty straightforward replacing the motherboard using one of the tear down guides on YouTube.
