I was changing the boot animation on my moto and I had restarted afterwards and the phone turned off but didn't turn back on. I tried plugging it in for a little bit to see if it would turn on and it still would not turn on, nothing even came up on the screen, just the led blinks. I made backups of everything so I thought I would flash one back but when I held the buttons for recovery and still nothing will come on the screen. Can anyone help or suggest anything? I just got this phone less then a week ago, so I would rather not have it bricked already. Thanks for any help.
Update: I was finally able to get my phone back on after a couple of hours with a force start, now my roaming indicator is on and will not turn off.

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.
Hi.
So, yesterday evening I plugged in my Galaxy S4 I9505 (international, and running stock Android 4.2.2) since it had low battery, then set the alarm clock and went to bed. Today I woke up, checked my clock (not the phone's, my actual clock), and since it was earlier than when my alarm would ring I took the phone to check my emails a bit... only to find out that the phone was stuck on the lockscreen and was not responding to anything. Perplexed, I took the battery off, put it back on, switched the phone on and it seemed to work fine, only to freeze again after a few minutes. I took once again the battery off, put it back on, and this time it didn't turn on at all. I tried several times, tried also while charging, but it doesn't even seem to charge, the led is completely dead. I tried to boot into recovery, nothing. Once or twice when I tried to turn it on it would show on the upper part of the screen an extremely fast and small red text, like the ones you see in recovery but red instead of green, but it was so fast in appearing ad disappearing that I didn't even have time to read it.
Then I tried googling the problem, and of all the different methods only one seemed to work: take off the battery for 10 seconds, put it back on, press volume down + power + home. Which I did try before, but without waiting before putting in the battery again. I tried it this time with the 10 seconds of waiting (while not plugged in to the charger), and it worked. The screen asked if I wanted to flash a CR or just restart. I choose restart. The phone immediately died again and didn't turn on, not even with the method that worked a few seconds before.
I haven't been able to turn it on since then, and I've tried everything. I'm quite desperate, because I have AADD and I do everything with my phone, it's my lifesaver and the only thing with which I'm able to organize and remember stuff (including my daily meds). Also the only thing I never forget to bring with me. I literally can't stay more than a full week without it, is there anything I can do or try to make it work again?
Is there really no one who can help me?

mate try to use a charged battery from anther s4 switch it on
My S4 has finally kicked the bucket. It turns on long enough to display the "Samsung" splash screen with the padlock icon that says "Custom." After about two seconds it instantly shuts off, and can't be turned back on.
Pull the battery, the phone automatically turns on, shuts off again, rinse and repeat.
At this point I just want to salvage my pictures and music from the phone; is there any way I can mount the internal SD in the state that it's in? I'm sure this power issue is hardware-based; I can't get into recovery or download mode before it shuts off on me.
I was having this same problem recently as well. It happened on two separate occasions with about a week in between. The first time it came back after a few battery pulls and attempts to boot to recovery as well as download mode. The second time I fiddled with it for about an hour with numerous battery pulls and attempts to boot to recovery and download mode. I even swapped batteries to no avail. I don't know why exactly it finally decided to boot, but I haven't had an issue with it since. Maybe keep trying and hope for the best?
Can you boot and stay into recovery or download mode?
If not, then it very well might be a button issue. Have the phone checked out or you can do it yourself with a voltmeter if you have the knowledge and tech. Otherwise take it to a professional. I paid around 15$ to a button replaced. Which kinda seems a lot, considering a set of 4 buttons costs about 5$ and then you can do it yourself since it doesn't appear to be that hard, especially if you've done soldering before.
On 2/22/17, my turbo 2 froze and went into a bootloop. I didn't flash anything, root it, or do anything that might void the warranty. After it froze, it went into a boot loop and would not turn on. It would freeze at the motorola logo, and even during recovery mode. The phone would still show some signs of life, but it progressively got worse and worse as time went on. Now, I can't get anything out of it. Even when i plug it in, it doesn't show a battery icon.
I tried charging the phone with the original charger and off of my computer-Nothing.
I tried a wireless charger-Nothing.
I tried power+volume down-Nothing.
I tried holding the power button for a long time-Nothing.
I tried power+volume up-Nothing
I tried all 3 buttons-Nothing.
I tried plugging it in as soon as i pressed the buttons - nothing.
This never happened to me before, and I really don't know what caused it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I have the same phone with the same problem. Stock refurbished phone, not rooted. I installed Nougat 7.0 yesterday. Boot loop this morning. Seconds later it shuts off and is completely dead. Nothing is working.
My phone suddenly turned off and now only the notification light blinks three (blue, green and red) colors and doesn't turn on.
I have already tried all button combinations, it doesn't turn on.
Please help.
Same here, except on my side my huawei slowly struggled to boot up on android and EMUI each time i've booted it up- in other cases even being in a bootloop or stuck at the startup animation.
Few of the times i was able to successfully get there, most of my phone's pics used to get corrupt without doing anything, and yet was becoming slower each time.
Nowadays it's in the same conditions.
Tried every combination too, same LED reaction.
One day i even attempted to tear it apart and try to unplug and plug back the battery:
yet nothing. Phone wasn't working.
Never did anything particular to it (ex. rooting, flashing) since i used it normally.
I'm afraid the SoC died, the partitions screwed up, or idk.
Hope there is a way to save it without resorting to buy new components.
