[Q] I9505 won't turn on. But why not?? :( - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
My I9505 has been dormant for a few weeks. I flashed a ROM (I can't even remember which now) and had a boot loop so I left it off by removing the battery. I intended to reflash it with ODIN to fix my problems. Now that I come to do that, it won't turn on!
I checked the battery in another phone so I know that's fine. I left in plugged in for a while too but to no avail. It's been in my bag, in a sturdy phone case and hasn't taken any impact.
Confused. Any ideas please?

You can look at other forums about the same problem and a few tricks you can try. It can be something as simple as replacing the battery.

I had this problem before also, I fixed it by rebooting my PC, and then booting into download mode, and Odin back to stock. It did take a few tries though.

I've had this before. You need to purge the power in your phone. Take battery out and hold down the power button a few times.
This will purge power and memory.
Then boot into download. # 1 and power and then odin.

Try using different usb ports. After rebooting the computer. The pc will try to find ur phone again but if u get it to the download screen. Its just the matter of getting odin to work for you

I had my phone do the exact same thing (die during flash). What you can try doing is leaving your battery out overnight, and in the morning, plug the phone in to your computer/wall, then plug your battery in.
Really what you need is to get your battery charged. If worse comes to worse, you could go to a Sprint Store, and tell them your phone died and you don't have insurance, and ask them to charge your battery, OR if you know someone else with your phone you could swap.

This is how I have delt with the same problem.. that and rebooting computer with phone still plugged in, with battery removed
I've Odin'd before and had the process freeze in the process and was forced to pull my battery in the middle. I got that same symbol described with the pc and the cell phone when trying to use the phone again after putting the battery back in. All I had to do was pull the battery again to get it back into download made.

dead Galaxy Note

Hi every one! Everything was ok with my GNote and for months with ics update. yesterday I tried to reboot it because the battery was empty after long time use. I connected the phone to the charger but nothing happens. I waited a few hours but nothing too. It does not pass to download mode and recovery mode too. I tried the battery on the GNote of my brother and it works and its battery does not help to boot up on my GNote. So the problem is on the phone. What is the solution please?
PS: i don't changed anything on the Gnote since Mounths
Thank you

Just a long shot, but is it a faulty battery connection on your device.
have you tried to flash another gb or ics rom?
Im guessing you run on stock ics, you could be superbricked if you deleted a big file from your phone, deleting big files could trigger the eMMC brick command. Just guessing here so i could be wrong.

Seems to be battery connection problem from your tests as it was said before. If your warranty is not void..should go for SAV.

Have you tried charging your battery in your brothers note, and then placing it in yours? If your phone boots, then its a faulty connector issue.

If it was a faulty battery connection, as seems to be a consensus here, than your phone wouldn't boot at all; yet you say that you can reach Download and Recovery mode.
It's something else.

No, as long as they didn't know you opened it.
Are you sure the phone doesn't turn on or is it a black screen. Did you try holding Power + Volume Down to get into the fastboot menu? From there you can use fastboot to flash recovery, which is the recommended way.

It happens. Battery stats in our device isn't too accurate. I've had that a couple of times. In fact, when my Nexus 7 2012 runs out of battery and I don't charge it for 4 hours or so it always needs half an hour to turn on.
Just let charge it completely. And then try to turn it on again. I experienced the same thing with twrp 2.6. asking me to fix the root part and then I did not boot up again.I just uninstalled it afterward. I rather use CWM. I like it better. Might be a battery issue, but CWM have not given me any warning with root fix.
Just my personal experience. :good:

I had a similar issue, I ran antutu and my phone went into a coma, no button combos were working and when I plugged in my phone I got the flashing red death light. But like PsyOr says just take of the back undo the two little screw's the hold the battery connector on, pop it off the put it back on and you're good. Worked like a charm for me.

Actually seems like a hard brick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 try this.

No, its not a hardbrick, its the red light issues which is well known. Just remove the battery and reinsert it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250454
A hardbrick is when a piece of hardware stop working completely and needs to be physically replaced, I don't know why people like to use that term for anything.

That doesn't explain why the pc is asking him to use drivers for download mode. If the phone really dint have enough battery shouldn't it have not connected to the pc.
Also the device will be hard bricked even if a wrong kernel/rom is flashed. But it can be unbricked by the above method.
Try the Nexus 4 toolkit. There are options to re-install everything up again. If you are sure that your battery is in good working order, then it might be software related issue. I don't think it's a hardware problem.

If you are in download mode as indicated by your pc detecting the phone as QHUSB_DLOAD this is not the common battery fault.
You will likely get here by the bootloader failing
At this point you are more bricked than a general soft brick. But still not completely hard bricked.
There is a very useful thread in the general section about how to fully flash using download mode.
You can find the info below, note that there are a lot of steps involved so if your not confident. Rma is probably your best bet

My S3 won't turn on.

One day, it randomly shuts down, and I haven't been able to turn it on ever since.
Actually, I can, but then it shuts down a few seconds after. I can't even get into recovery or download mode becasue of this.
It vibrates when I try to turn it on, if that matters.
I would try to put it in download mode, and then flash a stock fresh Rom, to see if it solves the problem.

As stated above, it won't last long enough to go into download mode.

Is your phone an I9300 ??
I think your eMMC just died on you.
If you're in any luck it's just your battery failing. Borrow one from a friend and give it a try. My dad's gnexus was in the very same situation, turns out his battery was malfunctioning. A 3€ cheapo new one off ebay and all is well again.

You can try many things, also the remove battery if you want to do that, its a firmware fault, I even tryed running total stock for some days after full recovery, it comes back. Only fix i have so far is restart the phone a few times untill it works again, then it can work for few hours or sometimes a day. resetting cache moving battery etc. shouldn't help at all. atleast I dont see the logic in removing the battery if you wipe cache...? Someone please explain what els you achieve!
Yeah I'm having the same " android os" wakelock since the latest mj7 update and it's killing the battery! Reboots didn't help much, I'll try the advice above for clearing cache and if it works

For how long have it worked for you? I tried this thing aswel, still ended in a no deep sleep state.. :/
What @onyxogen said makes sense now. I know that on one or 2 occasions, my battery lasted normally and i think i might have started using it right out of the socket. I mean start using it after battery full while still plugged in then disconnect later. But i did it without knowing then... I will try for real now and know for sure.

I posted this in many posts so far, because I am ****ing mad about no quick optimization for this "so called flagship"! The no deep sleep problem is ****ing huge, they must install something into the kernel that can regonize what apps have multiple uses of alarm_manager or something!
In the end, this problem is nothing we can do anything about. As it is samsung/android that have made the problem. I even tried this restart phone and unplug from charger while screen are on... My phone since 6hours ago have had 2m and 37s deep sleep..
I think it is so poor, that we pay so much for a phone and then the only thing samsung do is just put their trust in having android kitkat fixing it, instead of being proactive....

This would only work if it would be the only reason that stops your phone from entering deep sleep of course, so it's far from sure that it works.
For me it works since 2 weeks, but I have to repeat it every time I disconnect. Sometimes I have longer periods of no deep sleep but if I just plug it out while charging than the bug appears every time if I remember correctly.
It's an partly known android bug, since 4.1 I believe.
Note that you have to use the display for a while before unplugging!

Hmm gotta try use my phone for scrolling forums and mail in the morning then.. didnt know that I would have to use it for some time first.. It actually sounds like that could be the problem, if you say its a well known bug since 4.1... because everyday i do get it fixed after a few resets and then it works rest of the day... untill the next day when its been charged..
