Hi All,
Pulled sim card from phone and now it wont restart. Nothing from adb and no sign of life regardless of what buttons I push. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You didn't use a crowbar to remove that SIM card, did you? Seriously though, I hope you powered off the phone before removing the SIM card.
First charge, LED lights have bright, guarantee under the condition of electricity, to turn it off Press the volume + and shutdown, can enter the TWRP, mobile phone is no problem

Hi,
I have a MT3G that my brother likes a lot, so he bought a second-hand MT3G on craigslist and asked me to help him make it work, since it is apparently broken.
On power-up it goes to a screen with an icon of a software box with a yellow arrow coming out of it and pointing down to a phone. Is this the "recovery screen" icon?
I put SAPPIMG.NBH on the root of a FAT formatted 2GB Kingston microSD card (the card works fine in my MT3G) and tried each of these key combos after removing and reinserting the battery:
hold voldown while click power = still the same logo and no progress bar
hold home while click power = same thing
hold back while click power = same thing
I also turned the 2GB card into a "gold card" using instructions on XDA and put on it the sappimg.zip that is supposed to fix perfectSPL. Re-did all key combos above. Same logo.
The only thing that results in something different is when I hold the trackball while powering on, and then I get a blue power light and blank screen.
Plugging the phone into the computer with USB with the power off and battery in shows the orange charging light, but the phone is never recognized as a USB device when it is powered on and connected.
Any help would be appreciated. I thoroughly searched the XDA boards and tried as much as I could. I don't think my brother can get his money back from the guy who sold it to him, and I have already yelled at him for not testing before he walked away with the phone.
Thanks!
the only thing I can think of not sure why right now this is only thing coming to me is while in the screen press home and back for a while or, hold some and power for alot longer even after the screen pops up just keep holding for at least a minute... another thing is hold home and power while inserting the battery.... also tell us what happens when you try to power the phone normally
Thanks so much for your ideas, mt3g
I tried home and back for a couple of minutes and still just stay stuck at the box-arrow-phone icon.
I then pulled the battery and held home and power for 2 minutes, and then released the power button but held the home for another 2 minutes, and then let go of home and waited another 5 minutes, but still stuck at box-arrow-phone icon.
Then I tried holding home and power while inserting the battery and it still stayed at the box-arrow-phone icon.
When I power the phone normally it still just comes up with the box-arrow-phone icon.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
Either a paperweight or a BRICK!!
your brother's been scammed... If you can't get into fastboot or recovery the device is considered bricked (well, not "techincally" as HTC could still fix it but you can't ). The guy apparently tried to flash an incompatible SPL (or something went wrong during the process) and then sold the brick...
the only way to fix this is to hold volume down when phone is turned off, then turn on the phone but keep holding volume down! this should boot it into fastboot mode, if it doesnt then its bricked.
Have you tried downloading the Android SDK and running adb devices while the phone is plugged in? You could possibly run a logcat as well and see what the phone is doing.
Thanks for the suggestions, Dixi789! No combination of buttons will get me to fastboot or any other screen than the one with the box-arrow-phone icon, and when I plug the phone into the computer via USB it is never recognized as a USB device, so the Android SDK tools don't see it as being connected.

then its a brick put it back up on craigslist lol, possibly as hardware or something
My HTC MAGIC A6161 from Vodafone
one day the phone comes up with the Vodafone boot screen only and i have only access to FASTBOOT mode and nothing else
does someone know a way to get the original NBH file as it seems the only way to unbrick it so far and of course none of the FASTBOOT commands work and none of the ADB commands work too
can anyone help pleaaaaassssseee
Same thing here! Cant get into Recovery or Fastboot . it Just stayed on the MT3G Green Boot Screen
Just got my hands on a htc hd 2, only problem is, it was rooted with nand android and magdlr but the sd card is missing, i booted it up once and it froze on the go go go ! screen and then died,charged and booted it up again the screen is blank and only illuminates now, any idea what to do? I have a blank sd card in it now.
What have you tried to do? Have you tried holding the power button while it's turning on to get in to MAGLDR? Hold it down until it shows all the available services.
You should also turn phone off and boot into thye bootloader screen and see if you have a HSPL or what..... You can turn phone on while holding volume down button.
I guess the screen is the problem because now its just blank, doesn't even bother to illuminate and i noticed the bottom part of it getting warm whenever i try to charge it. Any ideas on how much a repair would cost?
Ud probably be able to get one off of ebay or craigslist..dont really kno a price,someone could be hurtin for a few extra Bucks and would let one go for cheaper then others wouldwould

Ok, it might not be the screen, but here's the problem. I turn the phone on, black screen no illuminating either. I plug it in to charge, the orange led comes on, if i plug it out the orange led is still on (is that supposed to happen??). I plug it into my computer it doesn't read it but the phone can still charge. Any ideas on what this problem could be, i don't wanna go changing the screen if that's not the problem at all.
This is a link to something similar when i turn on the phone

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
After months of various SD cards not working (phone not detecting them, bootloops when they're inserted, etc), I eventually decided to try out one last SD card that I know works with my brother's phone. Inserting the SD card wouldn't let the phone boot up, as I expected. But even removing the SD card fails to rectify the problem. Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, the area near the SoC package gets very hot, and I have to remove the battery to power it off and let it cool down. The screen stays blank, and nothing seems to work. I have found out that plugging the phone in while the battery is removed and then reinserting the battery while the phone is still plugged in shows the battery charging icon, but the screen quickly goes blank after that.
Be honest, do I have a bricked phone? Or is there a way to somehow get it to boot, at least into recovery? I have the ZE551KL model.
if u still have warranty asus should take care of ur phone. from what u discribed there is a Short circuit on ur motherboard i don't know if it is possible to repair or not but it is definitly inside ur phone

if you did factory reset and problem is still there, there is probably hardware fault, go to repair shop
hi
i have this issue since this morning. maybe 3 or 4 freezes.
do you use edge screen features? i have enabled them yesterday and today have this problem. i think that could be a reason.
to fast restart your phone you have to hold down + home + power buttons and then click down button for reset.

No Im not using the edge screen and this method not work to restart the pbone even if I hold it to hours it can be restarted only when battery drained and the blue light stops linking which mean battery drained then I pluged it to charger then I can press power button and start it.
Wait for the battery to get fully discharged and then again charge it. It will start again. I am facing the same problem since some days and didnt get any solution for it. Does your phone heat up too?
