[ISSUE] Black screen after stop & start

Hello,
After many search on internet I guess I am faced to a strange issue.
I just stop/start my phone like normal and I got always a black screen although my phone seems to boot correctly and start until the main menu BUT:
No more Galaxy S screen logo and no way to get recover or download mode.
Any idea how to debug this ?
Not I had upgraded to Froyo 2.2.1 2 months ago and never have this problem.
BR

Have you tried factory reset after backing up data .

I am open to any ideas.
How can I factory reset my SGS without display. I am blind, my mobile don't have any display, stay black screen, so I have to go until factory reset menu being blind.

Are you on stock rom and is it possible to startup the rom ? If this is possible then you can reinstall your rom and don't forget to flash the correct boatloader (with working 3 button combo) in it.

I think if you keep power button held down it factory resets .
Download mode = recovery jig from front page .
But i would be taking phone to service centre .

Thanks but I can not flash it, I dont succeed to get either recovery or download mode and Odin does not detect my phone either Kies.
I can not naviguate until USB debugging mode to enable ADB and work.
My mobile start but I am blind, I am looking for a solution that may enable adb or bring me download or recover mode ?
Yesterday the screen display during 1 2 second when I press I dont remember Vol Up + power... Never succeed to make it again.

Are you sure that the phone isn't actually in download mode and that u just couldn't see it? Try pulling out the battery and going.into download mode and see if Odin sees it. If ya running stock not rooted I would take the phone back.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Unfornately I am sure it is not in download mode because:
1) Start the phone
2) Vibrate 1 time then 2 times
3) A ring is played then showing the phone receive mail or SMS (GPRS is on)
When I touch the screen I can unlock it and click, sound is played so phone always start normally.
Problem:
- No SGS logo at boot, black screen always
- No way to boot in recovery or download mode
- No way to configure either Kies connection when USB is plugged (with Kies I thought I can upgrade the SGS to Gingerbread firmware) or enable USB debugging in order to connect using ADB.
I have ordered a JIG cable, maybe I will succeed to get the download mode ?
Thanks for your help.

I succeed to get the screen temporarly and flash using new firmware 2.2.1 but problem appeared, I flash with 2.3.3 and the same so I guess my phone is broken.

CM13, 20151231, TWRP, black screen every mode

Hi,
3 days ago I made an update of my Galaxy S5 to CM13, with factory reset.
It was working.
This morning I found new update for 20151231 so as it is still fresh rom, I decided to perform an update.
I chosen "UPGRADE" and right after it, screen became black and gave some vibrations when I touched it.
Since then, I cannot turn it on. There is vibration and quick flash on screen after trying to power normal way or recovery mode or download mode,
but screen is black.
It is visible in Windows and it is installing properly, but it is not visible in ODIN.
I was trying to enter download mode with vol down+home+power 5 sec and vol up after it, but it is still not visible in ODIN.
Can someone help me what to do?
It is really bad gift for New Year's Eve.

Try flashing recovery again using fastboot.
Copy 30.12.15 CM13 to SD, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Hope it helps.

Hi, Joe to run into fastboot mode without seeing anything?

help pls, nexus 4 softbricked

Hi guys,
I had Pure nexus rom installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3237366
and everything worked fine for weeks. Yesterday I noticed that my nexus 4 is using battery too much, without any reason.. Then my phone turned off, try to restart but it was stuck on google logo. At that point there was 20 or 30% battery left. I boot it to recovery, wipe everything and tried to restore factory settings, cos I didnt have any backup on phone. But again it was stuck on google logo.
So now I cant boot it cos there's no system installed on it, basicaly there is nothing on my phone. I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, but my pc dont recognize my phone, when I boot to recovery it's still the same, so I cant install drivers..
At this point, I have no idea what to do.. Can anyone help pls?
Thx

Can you get into fastboot? Are you using Win7? Tried different USB ports and cables?

Thx for quick reply !
Yes, I'm using win7 64x, I tried all usb ports and 3 different cables and nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery, but pc still don't recognize anything..

i am currently under the same situation
only difference is i can still fastboot and flash a recovery (twrp for that matter)
afterwards, when booting to recovery - i can install a rom
once the rom is installed, reboot does not boot into the ROM and instead just displays the google logo - then vibrates a little - then the screen turns off

I just tried on 2 other win7 pc's, still nothing.. Nexus root toolkit just can't establish adb/fastboot connection..
edit: other thing I tried is to copy ROM file on usb stick, and then connect usb stick with micro usb cable to phone, and when I'm in recovery (twrp 3.0.2-0) there is just ''internal storage'' option.. Is that normal, should twrp see external USB drive? Cos I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with usb charging port (I replaced that board month ago).

Hi,
I have a similar problem:
I had my mobile in working condition and once when upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, it downloaded the OS and was upgrading. During that process, the charge got over and hence the phone was shutdown. There after, it was not proceeding further from Google screen when trying to reboot. So, i thought battery is dead and replaced the battery with a new one. Now, i am getting the following problem:
The phone doesn't turn on(not even getting GOOGLE screen now). But, If I keep holding power button and Volume down button and try to insert the charging cable immediately then i get the boot menu but it wont stay there for even a second and goes to GOOGLE logo screen and gets shut down. Please help me with this.

Hi guys,
I menaged to fix the problem, my problem was charging port (smal L shaped board) that I replaced month ago. That's why there was no connection.
I got another one this morning from ebay, and Nexus Root Toolkit established connection immediately.

That looks like a stuck power button.
Try just holding the volume down button and plugging the charger.
If you see the fastboot screen, you have a stuck power button.
Just experienced this issue on a Nexus 5 and I was able to recover from it by "massaging" the power button for a while.

If your Y2 is in a bootloop and you can't get to the recovery..

Had the same experience as some of you - my Yotaphone got bricked (not sure why, but soon after .136RU update) and ended up in a bootloop - "Powered by Android" logo, reboot every couple of minutes. Tried flashing different recoveries and systems but no change.
Recently I've ordered a set of screwdrivers and opened my phone, disconnected the epd screen and the battery (this one only for a couple of minutes) and tried fastboot again.
Power + vol up (recovery) didn't work before and now it does, so I'm in Twrp. That's all for now (had to go to work ), but will keep you posted afterwards.

Above I'm putting the YT video I was using to safely open Y2, you will need T3 screwdriver and some lever to lift the EPD back cover - be careful, use sth soft (wood/ABS), it looks like it's very easy to break the glass.
So, back to the story..
Was in TWRP and had the full funcionality, except for the OTG. ADB also didn't work (haven't switched debugging on when Y2 was alive..). So went back to the fastboot (Power + Vol Down).
Yotaflasher did crappy job so I had to flash everything manually, command after command:
fastboot flash aboot firmware/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash boot firmware/boot.img
fastboot flash cache firmware/cache.img
fastboot flash modem firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 firmware/radio/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm firmware/radio/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz firmware/radio/tz.mbn
fastboot flash userdata firmware/userdata.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(didn't include recovery - have it already)
Now Y2 went through the "Powered by Android" logo and stopped for a while (maybe even 10min..) at its own boot animation. After that I was welcomed by Language choice menu and quickly after had my phone working. Now it's downloading .136RU update again.
Mind it's also still disconeccted from EPD screen - it has some dead pixel lines and can't figure out where lies the problem, will play with that tomorrow.
PS. Don't forget to enable USB debugging when you have the chance!

I can 't see youtube video. It is not valid. Pkease reupload him.

maybe first just disconnect battery and epd screen and try to boot, if no then flash twrp and do factory reset and try again, if still no change then erase data and flash new system image

I have tried all, disconnect flash twmp nothing happens. I have installed again the system but it rest in bootlooop.

wow, i am not alone with this problem. Why does the problem is coming at same time in december ? any bad updates? hm.
Anybody told with yotaphone support about this problem ?
im not realy a mobile crack, its not easy for me to understand this repair process. the only thing i have do is restore und wipe cache function in the bootloader.
Then i have uploaded the newest firmware with yotaflasher. it was successfull.
ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/EU/5.0.0-EU1.1.87a.zip
But this was not the solution. i will try "5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip" this is from august 2016 newer then all.
keeeper you have make manually flash, it was success? I dont know how it works with command lines. And my english is not good.
I had debugging on mode when my yota was alive.

somehow yotaflasher does not do its job properly, at least on my PC - while flashing the system directory manually it takes me a large while to move about 1GB of data, YF does it much faster, what was really suspicious.

i have flashed the new 124b now, then it updated something. And then, ahhhhhhh i see the start screen where i can choose my language. but when i plug of the handy from PC, the screen is off. game over.
i think my phone have a damaged RAM.
Question,... why does yotaflasher needs only 10sec. to flashed a 1GB firmware ??? thats unreal.

Is the battery fully charged? QC doesn't work all the time - it needs CPU to help and for example in recovery mode CPU doesn't support quick charging.

i cant see if it full loaded. i only plug in to power suply. Today im come to the welcome screen !!! And then, i type the password for my wlan to start configuration. But it freezed und go down.
i send you my pictures from the state. i think,.... its damaged hardware
i dont understand that the phone is started alone after 15 minutes. then crashing 10 times on boot and then mute. after 10 - 20 minutes it started again. i do nothing, it is only plug in powersuply.

I would try to disconnect the EPD completely (like in this thread and try if there's any change.
I've also had problems with random reboots but after saying goodbye to the back screen Yotaphone works like a charm. I know that wasn't the point of buying this phone but even without the EPD it's still a great device.

but this can not be normal without EPD i can use my s5
Today i was longer time in the OS. i have configured the phone and the wlan. After 5min. its crash and reboot. The battery was 1% !!!
After complete one night charging it is on 50%. this is not normal. On the EPD i have a double screen ?! 25% size on left side and on right side clone.
My Yota is a new device, i will try to send it to the seller or manufacturer

this is unbelievable. after i loading the accu complete, i can start the phone. And all works. 5 days long the phone lay without used it. After this days the phone works. Then i have install whatsapp, activate yotaFit, and will configure the "keyboard". After i changed the Keyboard Layout, UI-system hold on and the phone crashed.
After this, the phone was reboot some times and crashed again. Now, i have the same problem. What is this F** S** ?
The phone only works fine, when i do nothing. when the phone lay one week without interaction. yeay!

good afternoons i have the problem that is drained in the android logo but i can not access the recovery in any way what can i do? Do i have to remove the battery to access recovery?

By the way I have a YotaPhone 1 with a bootloop problem. Could anyone help me with finding the stock rom so that I can revive my phone?

S5e won't boot

I am at a loss here. After almost 2 years of working flawlessly, my s5e won't boot.
The screen got frozen while using anydesk, and had to force a restart (power button + up and fown volume buttons).
I can see the Samsung logo for less than a second, and then it switches off. Without touching anything, after some seconds the same thing happens.
I tried charching it and similar behaviour: i see charging circle for less than a second, and off again.
I AM AT A LOSS.
I managed to boot it pressing power+volume_up buttons and this is what i see (attached). It can stay like that for a long time so I guess battery and it's connection to the tablet are fine.
PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY WELCOME
UPDATE:
I have tried MANY things in the 6 hours since I wrote this post. I am able to put the tablet in download mode and ODIN (and my PC) recognizes it. I am able to flash VBMETA but now TWRP (fail).
At some point the tablet rebooted in normal mode (why?) but got frozen again and had to reboot it.
Anyone can point me to how to recover it? I don't mind right now to loose what is in the internal memory.

Did you try to hard reboot (power_button + volume_down ) for more than 9 seconds.
If did not work then you may have to charge the phone? If its fully charged try to flash stock rom using Odin. When your device does not boot that means the stock firmware is corrupted and needs to be flashed again. That happened to me before and now my phone is working fine. Wanna know how to flash it? Look it up online!

I did try a hard reboot. Same result. I already rooted and installed a custom rom on it (first thing i did).
Twrp is installed but I'm unable to boot to it.
Any more ideas?

Listen up carefully. There is a truck to boot into recovery. When you hard reboot screen will turn black then show logo. While screen is
Black quick hold vol up button and power.
Worked on my galaxy a10. Tell meh the results bro

It just loads the screen attached in my first post.

Try flash via Odin, it still in download mode with this warning.

The tablet was still covered by warranty so I called the seller and they took it to a Samsung repair store. They replaced the motherboard, so I guess it was not recoverable.
The bad news is that they updated to android 11, I was quite happy with old 9.0 because I had TWRP and Magisk working.
Thank you for all that tried to help.
