My phone worked perfectly with no issue since I have had it. Did a factory reset, it got to the point where you pick a new language and I shut it back down. Pulled SD card and Sim card, went to turn it back on and no go.
It wont turn on. I plug it in to charge and nothing, no charging light. Kinda pissed..
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I have a major problem with my G1, it will not boot up at all now.
To make a long story short. Every couple of days my phone would not wake up from sleep mode. I thought I was having the issue people were talking about here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528191
So i reverted back to Jesusfreakes 1.5 firmware and it kept happening. So i moved all my apps back to the phone and in fact removed all widgets and really jsut kept a couple of apps.
Anyway this has still been ongoign, usually though i just have to take the batter out and put it back in and we';re in business.
Today though... it's another story. The phone will not start up at all.
I pressed the red button = nothing.
i pressed the red and home button = nothing
red button and camera = nada.
I plugged into the power, a light doesn't even come on the phone. I laeve the battery out or in same thing. I even took out the SD card....
I think the phone just died on me... Anything else you guys can recommend I do?
Take out the battery and hold the Power button for 10-20 seconds.
Plug in the power adapter (without the battery) and see if the LED turns on.
Put the battery back in and see if it turns on.
Does your computer recognize it at all when it's plugged in to USB?
That's about all I know, if you don't see the charging light after you reset it using the power+no battery suggestion, I'd think it would be a hardware problem.
Well I wasn't having any of the waking up from sleep issues. But I did have my phone completely die on me. Same symptoms, it wast responding with anything I tried, and the notification led wasnt working either. I even tried another battery and what not. So this what I did:
1st I pulled the battery out and my sd card for a few moments, the plugged it back in... nothing
Then I let the phone on charge for about 16 hours (some1 suggested this, because messing with the SPL can send ur battery to -110% and takes about 14 hours to revive it. (this didnt do anything for me, but it may have helped I dont know)
Finally I took out my battery, my sim card and my sd card, and let the phone sit for like 10 hours or something, popped my battery back in, and the phone came back to life!
give it a shot, andd good luck
Thanks, i'll let you know in 2 days how it went
in the meantime i called HTC, they seem to know about this issue. He said they'll probably have to swap out the main board but i have to call during business hours for the repair department.
He told me to emphasize that my phone was unlocked so they return it that way also. Since they're putting a new mainboard in i'll ask them to put the rogers one in instead so i can get 3g (I'm with fido in canda 1900mhz)... Let's hope their customer service is extra willing to help out
So my phone was covered by warranty! I guess a dead motherboard does not show the kind of firmware running on the device hihi.
They tried to put a Rogers compatible motherboard in but it failed testing (I have a t-mobile device running on the Canadian network) so they inserted another motherboard. She does not see if it's Rogers or not though but she suspects it's a T-mobile compatible one. They also replaced my antenna.
Can't wait to get my G1 back!!! this Treo 650 is way to bulky
I have the Mytouch4g in black and the other night my phone(2.2.1) was acting up so i did a factory reset. the phone wouldn't turn on, no LED indications when on the charger. So i took my phone to the T-mobile store and they were able to turn it on and get Gingerbread on there. i was thrilled! i turned my phone off and put my sim card in, now the phone vibrates exactly 7 times and the LED flashes Amber. What would be a good fix? i saw on some other phones that it's an overheating problem. any help?
Thanks!

If you take your sim back out... does it boot?
Process of elimination would say that if its boots... your sim is causing you problems.
Can you get into bootloader?
i tried taking my sim out and it still wouldn't boot.

Im having the same exact problem with my phone. but i got it from craigslist so i cant take it to tmobile
Alright so I flashed a new update from recovery and went to restart to system and the phone just shut off and now won't power on at all. doesn't show the logo screen doesn't light anything up. its currently powered down plugged in and I don't even have the charging screen. did I brick it? is this recoverable? I tried battery pull twice two different chargers sd card no sd card everything I can think of. no water damage at all. seems really strange that it would just shut off and be unresponsive after that. it's only a month old kept in good care.
Edit: I managed to get it to have the charging symbol when I pluged it in tried to turn it on and right back to where i started without the charging symbol
that happened to me with my first intercept, the froyo update didn't complete and the phone shut down and never came back on, i thought it was a dead battery, but the charge was full, it was like the power buttons lost their mapping. vm told me to take it back to the place i bought it from and they replaced it, vm takes a couple days and if you got the protection plan they will porbably send you a replacement
Hello, I recently got a used Mytouch 4G, and after a week of use, it has been acting wierd. Lately I have been DL'ing apps for free. Yesterday I was trying to root my phone, which led to complete failure, I tried everything to root it, and it wouldnt root. So I Factory Reset about 5 times yesterday, and put all of my old apps back on. Today, I got on my mytouch and all the apps I put on disappeared and left me with shortcuts that lead to nothing. So I Factory Reset again just to get rid of misc junk, and re-added all of my old apps. I was in the middle of installing a new app, and it began to install, then froze. I was unable to turn it off, so I took out battery and put it back in. It seemed to start fine but it would just stay at loading screen and say "Mytouch" and kept restarting itself, and it would not turn off, again.. So I took the battery out and put it back in, and same thing, this was repeated several times, then I left it off and put the charger in, the orange'ish light came on, then turned green. I held the "power" button for a minute, and it wouldnt turn on. It still wont turn on, and the charging light wont light up noow.
Simplified:
MyTouch 4G bought used.
Android 2.2.1
Temp rooted several times for apps.(never perm rooted).
Will not turn on; Charging light wont turn on; volumedown + power button doesnt work.
When I plug it into the computer it makes a sound, but doesnt let me access it.
Was unable to perm root.
Says QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager
Please, any help is appreciated, this phone has no warranty..
Dead - looks like it has its SBL corrupted. You can't repair it yourself.
Hello.
I've flashed my s5 with popwizh and everything went well. But after a full battery discharge the phone won't turn back on.
Battery is good and charger.
volUp+home+power doesn't do anything
volDown+home+power doesn't start download recovery
tried to boot from sdcard with a debrick img but no luck.
What more can I do? I don't want a paperweight please.
Charge it?
Battery is good and charged
If you can't get it to even turn on or enter download mode, there's not a lot you can do
Try removing everything like SIM and SDCard, remove the battery too and only connect the charger, see if you can get any signs of life at all
If not, it sounds like a hardware problem
Its to much of a coincidence to be a hardware problem, I refuse to give up just yet.
So far all the posts that resemble to my situation go on an on about flashing a debrick.img to the sdcard and boot from there. Dead boots and stuff.
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/g900f-debrick-img-lollipop-t3240626 but without success
You said it won't even power on ?
How you going to flash anything without power?
I'm not saying 100% this is the problem, but most devices die when they are powered on, as that is when they are put under the highest stress
For example, I put away my treadmill in the corner of the room about 6 months ago, working - came to use it a few weeks ago, dead
Looks like pixies killed it, but actually it was when it was powered up again, just looks like it died when it was off
--
Is the phones power button working?
If you at least had a sign of life, we could go from there, but without any power at all, I have no clue
Battery connection contacts not bent or snapped?
From what I understand the phone won't turn on because the boot partition is gone, so if I manage to boot from the sd card to the download recovery, I can then use odin to flash it back to stock android.
Am i wrong?
Are you even getting the logo on screen when you turn it on?
Does the screen even light up?
You said there is no power at all, that's not a boot partition problem
Man if it's not turning on and there's no reaction when you press the power button then there's two things I can suggest : the power button is not working; or when the battery went completely dead its safety system thing could have turned on, which means you have to put it to charge as long as it takes for it to turn on again. Plus if your phone was exposed to water which I doubt its power controller could have gotten burnt
Have you plugged it into a pc? See if it registers with that and if it dies but still doesn't boot just try to leave it on the charger for a few hours even if it's fully charged. Then battery out for 10 secs wait... wait... wait... and turn it on plugged into the wall. Or at least try. If that still won't work samsung repair Centre for you
Still no life, I've tried everything said so far. My only hope is a debrick.img to boot from the sd card, which I don't have.

Try to plug the phone to adb and see if it recognize it , if it's not i don't know maybe try another battery to see if its battery related or other hardware composant
