My S8+ has been slow so was going to update the rom.
Did the wipe, and flashed the firmware first.
It got completed, and it said it was going to restart the phone.
After that it got the black screen of death, no led, no sound or anything.
Tried charging it for almost an hour and nothing happens, it was at 15% percent when I flashed but it was charging so did it anyways.
Any ideas? And will my warranty be void if it is a hardware error?

Started last night. Phone would just shut down all by itself. Thought the battery was dead so I tried to charge it. No LED showing charging. Took the battery in and out several times till I finally got it to boot. Battery showed about 70% or so. Used it for a while, then BAM, shut off again. Placed on the charge got an LED this time, red. Wake up this morning and try to boot the phone. LED is green and looking good.
Worked most of the morning, then it was dead when I took it out of my pocket. So I go and get a new battery for it. Does the same damn thing. I am running CM 5.0 or so on it. Tried charging both USB cable way and direct to the wall.
Now I have used recovery screen, right when I go to wipe it dies out.
Will only boot if I take the battery in and out several times and finally will get G1 screen. Sometimes it will reboot itself, other times the screen just fades away.
And Ideas?
BTW, nothing happened to it recently. But it did get wet about 8-9 months ago. I stuck in a ceiling fan to dry it out for 2 days. Has worked perfect since that day until last night.
Update:
I was able to flash Zdonut 2.5, get to the sign in screen, goes black and reboot
New battery fully charged.
I even tried an old back up with same symptoms.

I have got the same symptoms, my screen fades out and the only thing I can do to power it up again is to remove the power plug and the battery.
Nothing brutal has happened to it, it started after I installed CM5-test1 on it but I have no idea if it's related or not.
Now it's living less and less time, I'm able to boot to recovery but usually not to boot into my OS (tried to reflash superD).
I think I need to get it to warranty, but for that I would like to restore my Orange Rom, but I'm afraid to do so as I have the newest radio, the haykuro SPL and a phone that may power off at any moment...
Hi. Last year I left my G2, and the screen broke, but everything worked fine. Recently, my new screen came from AliExpress. When I charge, the phone does not work anymore. Sometimes when I plug in USB or charger, it automatically goes to the firmware update screen. If I remove the cable and turn it back on, nothing happens, and if I leave it for about two hours, the cycle occurs again, ie it turns on and automatically goes to the firmware update screen. I do not know what to do, I tried to flash the ROM stock, but nothing has changed.
I do not know what to do.
Thanks.
So I've had my Moto X Pure (XT1575) for almost two years now, and it's been through hell and back with me. A few months ago, I replaced the screen because of the hot spots the screen had since I've bought it, at the same time, I replaced the battery, the frame and installed a wooden back cover. Yesterday, while I was using it, the phone died and started trying to boot itself back up. I thought it was a sudden turn off, like when you have 30% and it dies because the battery is old. So I let it in the charger for a few minutes just so I could turn it on; but it didn't, it turned on for a split second, showing the bootloader unlocked screen and dying instantly. Luckily I managed to boot it once, and what was weird is that the battery showed 50%+ charge and was charging normally. I went to sleep and let it charge overnight, now it flashes the white led as if the battery level was too low to turn on. I suspect it's a bad battery, but maybe it could be something else. Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE: I've tried to boot the phone again but it doesn't want to do it, it just flashes the bootloader unlocked screen then dies, it's like a bootloop but weirder. Tried to get to the fastboot menu and it lets me, it says "battery is low" in the battery status, which is weird, since it said "battery OK" yesterday.
NVM, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery and put it back on and the problems fixed itself
My phone was acting normal until now. Today after completely draining the battery I went to plug it in at home. The usual battery charging picture appeared and I thought nothing of it. Then when I tried loading the phone, it loaded as normal till it got to the lock screen, where it showed the battery at 0%. If you leave the phone for a while, it goes back to booting and does the Android Animation for a long time before going back to that lock screen, showing 0% and repeating itself. If you try and login, by the time you get in, it will go back to the booting Android Animation.
I can't seam to get beyond this point. I tried turning off the phone completely, then turning it back on. I tried clearing the cache. Nothing. I am stock standard, not unlocked bootloader. I am on Android 8.1.0 Security Patch January 2018.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
Just letting you know it is.. 'fixed'. After unplugging the phone and letting it bootloop few times, it finally registered a battery level that wasn't 0%. It was 96% and as such ran like normal again. That being said, I am worried about this happening again, so I hardly think this is fixed, but just leaving this here for anyone else that comes across this problem. Also would love to hear any suggestions to possible fixes. Incase this was related to the other bootloop issues that cropped up last year, I have set my phone for OEM unlocking.
Save yourself the trouble and just unlock your bootloader now.
my S7edge, with Stock ROM, never flashed or hacked it.
was working perfectly fine.
Last software update package was a week or 2 ago.
Today, the phone suddenly froze while I'm using it, then restarted and kept rebooting automatically in an endless loop.
I tried to force it to go to recovery mood... it would go to a blue screen saying : "Installing updates" and nothing happens.
kept rebooting into safe mode or recovery/download mode until it suddenly just went totally off.
The charger wires were a bit cut lately, so it would give a broken charging lately, not sure if that caused any kind of problems to the battery or mother board.
Since then, I am not able to turn it on again in any mode.
It also doesn't show any indications when a charger is connected.
So right now it is just dead with no signs at all. non responsive to any force power ON nor to charging.
I left it for more than 5 hours now without charging, nothing changed.
Update:
So I left it overnight. In the morning, I connected the charger and indeed it drained to 0% and started being responsive to charging again.
As soon as it charged to 20% I powered it on. It loaded into recovery, giving the no command screen. Then I went on and selected system reboot.
Then it rebooted and Android started, as soon as I tried unlocking it, it froze and started again into an endless rebooting loop until it blacked out again. Now again not responsive.
I will leave it to drain again. Does anyone know what I shall do when it gets to that endless rebooting sequence. It is obvious that Android had a malfunction... not sure what as I didn't do anything new last week..
Is there a way to get it through without factory reset?
Thanks

Bro flash latest stock rom
Solved !
It was already on stock ROM.
After lots of troubleshooting, rebooting in safe mode without the SD card worked fine. I then rebooted in Recovery mode, wiped the cashe, rebooted again normally with no SD card. Then inserted the SD card after.... got a message that SD card is not supported (seems it got corrupted somehow).
Anyways, now it's fine... let's see for how long...
