Hello everyone, I'm in need of a bit of assistance and was hoping you all might be able to help. So last night when I woke up to use the restroom i used my phone to guide me using the screen as a light since we are removing all Christmas decorations and I did not want to step on any of them. On my way back from the restroom the screen light turned off and will not turn back on. I have been trying to reset it all morning long using the power\volume key method and this time it will not work. The phone will not recognize any sort of input from me but when i connect it to my computer, the computer recognizes it and tries to install some random drivers.
Shortly after this I got a flashing red led light. Also the phone attempted to boot up but then will revert to the red light. I was able to get into the bootloader and from there went to the recovery. I wiped all data and cache and tried reinstalling the PAC rom and the franco kernel and gapps thinking this would fix my problem. It did not and now I am out of ideas. I am not sure what to do and have looked around and figured it is not the battery issue since I was able to get into the bootloader and the recovery.
Currently the only thing I can get it to do is if i hold both volume buttons and the power button while connected to my PC there will be a solid red light. I am still trying to get into the bootloader again but so far no success. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone may have.
See if this can help? I don't know. Tough situation buddy.

First of all, hi to all of you.
Me being a noob with the Nexus, something VERY messed up has just happened to me.
Let me explain from the beginning:
I received the nexus yesterday as a gift from a friend of mine who works at Google (yes, it is the one with the android waving a banner on the back of the phone)
Used it yesterday perfectly, even updated to 2.1.update perfectly fine.
Today, as the batter was dying out, I finally got home and started to charge it (the battery icon was white, with a red outline and a red slash across the battery icon)
Then, the Nexus stopped responding and turned off.
When I tried to turn it back on, it just stays on the boot screen and does nothing.
Now, I have tried the volume down + power button to get to the reset, chose "recovery" and it went right back to the frozen boot screen.
To my knowledge, it is not rooted (although I have read that the Nexus' that employees receive are rooted, I have no idea)
Now, I am stuck with a Nexus paperweight , it doesn't turn on and cant seem to get it out of the boot screen.
Any one here can lend a hand???
P.S. I hope I posted in the correct forum and want to thank anyone that can help ahead of time!
Update:
I did the volume down + trackball + power on thingy and I connected the Nexus to my laptop.
It comes out FASTBOOT USB in red, so it seems it is not totally bricked.
Found the USB drivers and...that's where I am stuck.
I know there is a way to recuperate the Nexus, but I have no idea how...any ideas?
Damn power button doesn't work and i have no way of turning it on. The reason I want to turn it on is so that i could attempt to put in the stock mt4g rom, as I called HTC and they told me that i could send it in. They did say however, that if It was running "unapproved software" that i would have to pay.
I have tried the method of turning on the phone by plugging it into the wall charger and pressing/holding the homescreen but all that does is illuminate the screen a little, but its still black. I'm running CM 7.0.3 and have the current Clockworkmod recovery. I'm hoping someone responds soon, and if i do happen to turn it on somehow, i'll still need help changing the phone back to stock bc of the fact that the power button doesn't work. Which means that i'll have to use adb, and i have no idea what that is lol.
If not, then I guess i'll just have to send it to HTC and hope they don't charge me too much. Fml.
Try taking the battery out, plugging the phone in and the putting the battery back in while the phone is plugged in. Not sure how that would help you unroot as you need to use the power button in bootloader. Maybe if you contact some devs they can write some sort of script to automate it.

Nope, that didn't work, but thx for the effort lol. If I can just turn it on, they I'll use ADB to flash the stock rom. I heard you can do anything with ADB.......
I don't understand why holding the Home button after plugging the phone is just showing the illuminating black screen, instead of booting into recovery Is it a bug in the current Clockwordmod recovery??? Can anyone else on CM 7.0.3 (clockworkmod 4.x.x mt4g) confirm this?
Anyone here??? :/
UPDATE
So I couldn't turn back on and I decided to hell with it and I sent it in hoping that HTC wouldn't charge me toomuch. About 4 days later I get the email that they were sending it back, fully repaired at no charge! Even though I had CM7 in it!
Hope this helps someone else in this situation. HTC +1 in my book :]
Thanks for the update! Check your PM
So, my aunt gave me a hd2 she found yesterday and i currently have no idea on how to fix it and to make it usable. Currently the phone is able to charge with an orange light poping up. However, when i try turning it on, It vibarates once and only a black screen lights up. I tried googling the problem and so far, trying to hard reset or run bootloader only results in a black screen. Is the phone fubar or is there any hope of fixing it? thank you in advance.
plug it into a usb on PC with WMDC installed & run a rom updater & see if detects device.
Some links for HTC roms can be found in wiki & also the hard rest & bootloader key sequence ...
Make sure you know what what model you got before commencing with actual flashing though.
Too many Hd2 T-Mobile USA (TMOUS) die in the hands of the noob so read first ...

IMO it's more likely to be a faulty LCD or something related to(a faulty LCD motherboard connector)...
Could be, does it detect in WMDC, have you tried MyMobiler (link in my sig).
If turn it on do any buttons seem to function, doyou get any audio feedback when volume pressed up & down ?
could it be karma ?
where did your gran find phone ?

Wait a little to make sure its not just taking a while to turn on. Then just hold power button and once it shuts off quickly press power and volume buttons to get into boot loader before it reboots. From there plug it in and use the toolkit to restore to stock (this will wipe everything on the tablet even data). Or you could go into recovery and just do a full wipe. I think it should then turn on fine but again youll lose data. Try the second way first as its faster. If it doesn't work then try the first option.

I am having the exact same problem. I tried the toolkit, but nothing happened. It seems that this is a strong brick.

Hello. One of my friend have been having trouble booting up his at&t galaxy s4 just now and asked me for help
But I do not know what the problem is so we need help
phone cannot turn on, can show s4 screen after take out battery, but no boot animation and instant black screen afterwards
cannot do hard reset, nothing comes up
usb debug was not on, adb debugging can't find device to reboot bootloader
phone not rooted
no update recently, on kitkat 4.4 stock
does anyone have an idea what happened and how to fix it?
thank you in advance
bump
I think the phone just died on him and you can't fix it. If you have the same device take your battery and use it in his device. Maybe you get lucky and it's just the battery.

I found http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...battery-then-turns-off-after-two-seconds.html. It suggests cleaning the power button. It helped me. There should be YouTube videos to show you how to take it apart. I took the phone apart and put alcohol on the power switch with a q-tip. The, work the switch quite a few times. I repeated this 3-4 times before reassembling my phone.
