Please HELP! My Wing wont turn on!!!

Please Help me!
So I Flashed my Wing to a new rom (Open Touch v2.7), and it was working fine for a couple of hours, than it started acting up (Freezing up). so I pulled the battery and let it sit for a while, a little while after, I went to turn it on, and IT WOULDNT BOOT UP AT ALL (stays dead, off)!! After hours of trying to get it to respond, it finally got into bootloader mode and I flashed it back to the Shipped T-mobile Rom, it was working fine for a minute but when I turned it off and went to turn it back on IT WONT BOOT UP AGAIN, It just stays Dead! It doesnt even respond to charging (Unless I somehow get into bootloader mode after hours)
As of right now im continously trying to do a hard resset but it just stays dead and just trying to get it to start up at all, does anyone kno what the problem is Please?!

the battery?
or you got a lemon..... :'(

My Herald got the exact same problem after only 2 months of usage and back then it was still running WM5 stock ROM. I mailed the store I bought it from and got a replacement battery, that solved the problem.

If that is the case, no I don´t think it will help you.
If I read your post right it won´t charge but the chargelight will light up if you get it into bootloader? (tinking about this passage)

Have you checked the batteryconnectors? They may be stuck and not quite touching the battery and when you try to hard reset the phone flexes a bit and suddenly you´ve got a connection. Also try and clean the small metal contact surfaces on the battery. As little as a fingerprint may result in a bad connection with the battery.

At least you flashed it back to stock-if it's still under warrenty and the tricks above don't work-send it in for replacement =)

Stick together screen stuck!

Hi,
I bought HTC HD2 TMOBILE from ebay and got it delivered yesterday. When i checked the phone it was working fine and it was a locked piece. Today morning i got the unlock code and the phone started working fine. I was just going through the features and checked the setting and stuff. Suddenly in 15-20 mins the phone restarted itself to the white pink screen of stick together. I thought its normal and gave it like 10-15mins to boot. Nothing happened. Had to take off the battery and tried booting it n still no response. I did a hard reset. Still the white n pink screen forced me to see the lame stick together msg. after a few resets the phones booted up and gave me the windows first time usage screen. I set it up and then bam! again it restarted to the stick together screen. i noticed tht it doesnt even shows the rom etc etc info on tht screen like it used to the first time.
Steps i have already tried...and none worked
1) hard reset
2) soft reset
3) reset with no sim mem card
4) flash tmobile latest rom from their own website ( tht screwed things even more as update failed at 8% and then the stick together screen disappeared and SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED screen poped up )
5) Tried the HSPL3 to changed it to 2.08 HSPL ( tht got the stick together screen and nothing else )
6) flashed custom rom ( after multiple attempts it allowed me to complete update and after successful update the stick together screen appeared )
7) now i have reverted back to 2.08 thru hspl3. got back the stick together screen.
What can be done and why did this happen when i was just checking the settings?
IMPORTANTLY how can i fix this...

Check the battery contacts. My friend had a similar thing where only the wirth boot screen showed and it ended up being the battery contacts.

This is a very common occurence on this phone...the little gold pins get bent easily and the constant rebooting is one of the main symptoms when that happens.

hmmmmmmmmmm i will try tht now... was keeping myself away from it as it has already eaten up half of my only holiday in this week...

you are a genius
my girlfriend thought she bricked her phone cuz it was stuck on the stick together screen......see was about to try to flash thr original stock rom when i happened upon this post and it saved us alot of time ......so i just want to say thank you so much

[Q] htc hd2 infinite boot looping failed installing roms, error code during task29.

ive been a member of xda for a while and i know someones going to get pissed about me posting this, i have a serious problem. it all started when i flashed nand to my device. it worked for me for a day or two then it shut off. it wouldn't charge for like a week and then it magically started to charge again. i go to turn it on and i get a boot loop. i then flash a new rom, same problem, i flash another through the sd. i get an error. i try task29. while flashing that i get an error. i tried task29 on other computers of all versions of windows, same error.i tried task 29 through sd, nothing. now the phone is sitting in its box on my desk on a software update failed triang screen of failure. i searched the forums and it wasnt much help. anybody have any suggestions?

Pull the battery, and then put it back in.. hold the volume up and down (yes I know that's ridiculous lol) volume rockers then it should take you through the factory restore process

There are so many vdos available on youtube ..... search one which has more LIKE's

Also, check the 3 battery pins on the device. I had similar issues with bootloops and errors while attempting to flash, which turned out to be happening because the middle battery pin had slightly bent and was all good after carefully (be gentle) straightening the pin.
Guess all the battery pulling during flashes causes stress on the pins...Whenever possible hit the little reset button as oposed to pulling the battery to avoid damaging said pins.

i have tried this and as its restoring it freezes and it doesnt go past like 30 percent.

ill try the battery thing. ill post the results.

So I tried the pin thing and it started to flash but then it froze around 80 percent

Same problem here.
Same as you, it started when I flashed Nandroid.
And after googling some posts, I found one of my battery pins was bent so I fix it.
But, in my opinion, once you got stuck on that problem, there's nothing to do at this moment.
Someone called it "Radio-brick"..
What should we do next....?
Hope someone solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

On this post, you can see the pictures which shows what's going on our HD2.

[Q] i9500 S4 won't boot

Hi,
Details of phone: Galaxy S4 i9500, Network is Three (UK), 16GB External Micro SD card, phone is not rooted and is running on stock OS.
I have owned the phone brand new since the end of August.
Last night the battery of my S4 went flat and the phone died (I didn't have a charger on me).
This morning when I stuck it on charge and after letting it go for about 10mins, the phone displayed the Galaxy text as usual, then the Three logo and blue LED as usual, but then it vibrated and rebooted itself and would do so continuously unless I held the power down.
I have tried letting it fully charge as well as removing the battery for over an hour, but when I power on, the same problem persists.
I went into Android system recovery; rebooting from there results in the same effect and an error appears before powering off when I try clearing the cache.
What can I do? It has not been like this for over 24 hours.
I don't want to factory reset in case that doesn't fix the problem either and it's all for nothing.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Well, the next logical step is a factory reset.

Thanks for your response, I have considered that, but like I said "I don't want to factory reset in case that doesn't fix the problem either and it's all for nothing".
There must be another solution. I'm going to try installing the last update through Kies.

Could be that the battery has crapped out. Do you have access to another? I haven't tried this, but can you power it on with just the USB connected (without battery)?

My guess is your battery is dead.

Ok, I have solved the problem, however not the most ideal way.
I ran the 'Emergency Upgrade and Initialisation' on Samsung Kies, this requires you to put the phone in download mode.
It is basically a factory reset to the latest update and on first try, the phone works fine again.
I did read elsewhere however that a lot of people experiencing the same problem tried swapping the stock (apparently defective) battery with a new one and this fixed the issue as well without having to go through a reset.
I may get a new battery just in case this happens again so I can swap it.
Anyway, thanks for the responses guys.

Phone instantly reboots?

I was listening to an audiobook when my phone suddenly died. It would not start back up, so I removed the battery. When I replaced the battery, the samsung logo would pop up but after about a second it would go black again. It will not start again until I remove/replace the battery, at which point it does the one second shutdown again.
At one point I got the phone to boot (no idea what I did differently) and I noticed that it got very hot around the camera area before going black again. A second time I was able to get into recovery, where I did a factory reset. Booted back up and it seemed to be okay, but then heated up very quickly and shut down.
Now, even if the phone is totally cool, I cant get past that 1 second of samsung logo. I'm really at a loss here, and totally screwed without my phone because I am traveling non-stop for the next 2 weeks. Does anyone know how I might try to troubleshoot this? Thanks

Possibly flash a new ROM and start over. That's what I would do

This EXACT situation happened to me yesterday! I was streaming from Google music, it was on the charger and things were fine. A call came in and the phone started vibrating like crazy and wouldn't stop. The screen went black and it kept vibrating. Finally it went off. On boot it will get to my lock screen and then crash after about 30 seconds. If I take the battery out and try again it lasts another few seconds after boot. If I leave it for a LONG time with the battery out and restart it I can get like 2 mins on the next boot without it crashing. The top part by the camera is getting hot on my phone as well. Recovery mode and download mode start fine and the phone doesn't crash. I have some data on the internal that I want to save so I tried to use Odin to flash the most recent build L720VPUFNG2 as that would just install the OS and not touch the data. On the next reboot things seemed to be working fine and I got maybe 5 mins out of the phone before it crashed again. I still don't have enough time to get the data off so I think I'm just going to say screw it and wipe it completely. You guys know of a way I can backup this app data using Odin or recovery mode? My phone is currently unrooted. I'm new to all this tinkering stuff. Phone is out of warranty now anyway.

Threw on a custom recovery, backed up all my data, did a full wipe, now I am good as new.

It worked for awhile but now it is back to rebooting itself. Any idea what could be the issue? I'm assuming at this point it is hardware related. Why can recovery and download mode run consistently without crashing but when an os is fired up it has issues? If it was a hardware issue shouldn't it not work across the board?

So I had Sprint replace my phone on the 8th. I have been using my same batteries (1 stock 1 Anker) and chargers (some stock some not) without issue the past 5 days. I rooted and installed xposed and some modules (original broken phone was never rooted and was completely stock). Things were going great until tonight when it started reboot looping exactly like the old phone. I switched battery and same proble. After I took the battery out and left it out awhile it fired back up but I'm afraid the problem will return. Is it possible that the battery or charger randomly are causing damage to the phone? I only have 14 day warranty on this replacement and need to figure this out.

I have no idea maybe try just using your stock battery for a couple days. See how that goes then use your other battery for a couple days and see what happens.

I think it was one of the xposed modules causing the issue. I realized the rebooting seemed to happen whenever I pressed the power button. I had installed a power menu module so perhaps it was the cause. I restored from a nandroid and uninstalled that module and things seem to be working now. Hopefully that was the cause and this thing won't start acting up again after the return period.

That makes a lot of sense. Have to be careful with those Xposed modules. Don't get too carried away installing so many at one time and playing with them and then rebooting. You'll have a hard time figuring out which one is causing it. I'm pretty sure you found your problem.

That is exactly what I did I installed like 6 at once and things were working well for a few hours then disaster stuck. I think I won't play with this phone anymore as I am upgrading anyway and want to sell it in working order.

So things were going well for awhile and then the reboot loops started up again. I did some digging and read that apparently Samsung phones are notorious for sticking power buttons and the symptoms were exactly what I was experiencing. I watched some videos online how to open the phone and clean out the power button but it didn't make a difference. I then read that squeezing the connector for the power button with a pair of pliers sometimes does the trick. Not for me. So finally since I'm not under warranty, have no insurance, and the phone wasn't working anyway, I just ripped the white plastic part of the power button right off. Well, that seemed to do the trick. Phone immediately fired back up without issue and has been going strong. I glued a small thin piece of plastic where the old one used to be and I am back in action. If my little plastic piece solution eventually fails or breaks off I will consider soldering on a new button but so far so good.
If you have tried everything else, and are looking for last resort, try cleaning the power button with some alcohol, and if that fails, rip off that power button! Here is the video that gave me the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs and here are some other power button videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=s4%20power%20button&search_type=&aq=f&oq=
