yup..i thought of rooting my phone, but now
Have you tried pressing the Volume Up + Power button to get the recovery menu? I would try that first.
like i said before.. the phone is completely dead. I have tried it all, nothing can power it up. It doesn´t even feel the powercable.. the orange LED isnt on. I think its very strange that no one else have had this problem.
is it a h/w issue?
or have you resolved the problem already?
When the picture of the phone laying down with the triangle was up you didn't pull the battery did you?
I have got the same problem after updating to another rom. But the rom was defect or it didn't show progress in 5 min time. So I (stupidly) deciced to pull the battery from the phone.. and now I can't turn it on/charge..
please tell me if this is a fixable problem?

Yes, unfortunately i did :S i tried all buttons and it didnt help so i pulled the battery, what went wrong and what would the proper solution be? it said sucess when i flashed it and then the screen jumped up and it was already to late :S
I havent fixed the problem but it´s taking care of. I have it on service so in 1-2weeks i will get an answer.
Hi guys! Thought you might want an update with my problem.. i picked it up from the serviceplace today and thanks god it was an warranty thing. They said the mainboard was broken and replaced. Thats like the motherboard on a computer, correct? Can a f*cked up rooting/flashing be the reason?
Hey dude, i am guessing they replaced the mainboard because the chip that stores the rom has been courupted, they wouldnt have been able to diagnose it or replace the chip so must have been easier to replace the whole board haha. Your lucky they couldnt tell you had gained root on it!
Greeting
I ask someone for help. My Samsung E900 has worked perfectly until yesterday ... After changing the Regional Settings sought to be restarted to accept new settings. After that phone at the time of ignition appears LG logo and the fit is a few seconds the screen clears and the LG logo appears again, and so constantly ..
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hold down the VOLUME + - and the CAMERA button and turn the POWER button the phone ...
Phone back to factory settings
Samsung? LOL. And I think this will work even if you don't hold the camera button, but I must try it again...
LG

Reset want do the job
Any other ideas?
After a reset i have the same symptoms again.

Pulling the battery for 10-30 secs and then boot seems to be the universal problem solver for WP7 phones.

my phone was delivered without the battery inserted, it it was out for like a couple of days. Still gets stuck at the "LG" screen...

Then return it as faulty as it should load unless borked somehow.

Yes i Will return it on monday unless someone knows a way to restore it.
It's possible to start it in 3 modes.
1. Hold down the volume buttons + camera + power button. It then sais cold boot and then nothing more.
2. Vol down + camera + power. Then it sais emergency download, and my computer finds it
3. Camera + power. Shows a phone, cord and computer.
I tried the lg phone support tool and it sais the phone already are up to date.
Isn't there a way to load the windows phone 7 software onto the phone somehow?
Would really like to do it so I won't have to return it. I bought it of eBay, it is a customer return, so guess the guy before me tried messing with it to update it. And the company that sold it to me did not check if it was functioning before selling it to me..

You could of course flash the phone with new firmware and see if it fixes the problem, sounds like someone managed to mess up with your set.
There are some information around here how to flash the phone if you feel up for it.
/J
Ok but do u think The firmware is The problem? The LG tool showed that it was up to date, isn't it just the windows phone 7 software that is missing? I am not sure, but wouldn't the phone not show the lg logo if the firmware was bad?
A reward of € 10 will be given to the person helping me with this, and makes it work as supposed to.

You could probably try a different version of the OS depending on what you have now (I bet you wrote what version you had, I just missed it).
There are a few threads about that under the WP7 hack and dev. And as far as the firmware goes it's hard to know if it's actually ok just because it loads to the logo, I don't know where in the boot sequence the logo appears etc. there could be problems with the firmware too.
My first step would be to see if it's possible to get a new version of the OS in and if not, I'd try some new firmware.
And if nothing works return it as faulty.

I got the same problem before.
I just turn it off, and leave it for a night
Next day, all the things are ok
yeeaah well, nothing helped, whatever I did to it...
I received no less than 3 broken phones and now finaly I have a working one yaaaayyy
Congrats,

Lg optimus e900 start issue
Hi,
I have the same issue, I can't restart my phone.
I can see only the logo and the LG caption.
Pls help,
Laszlo
I've got almost the same problem
I just bought this phone via local site, several days ago i'm so much happy with its smoothness but 2 days ago this problem appear, i spent several hours just to find it hanging on LG logo, i've waited for hour to hour just to see nothing happened that time. I left it for bed, and the next day the phone back to normal. But then, at least the device hanging 3 times a day, its just restarting itself and it seems the phone is unable to boot itself to the homescreen. Need help! I've done many way, from restoring, cold boot, softreset, upgrade(when it comes normal) etc but all don't work till now.
Unfortunately, this product doesn't release officially in my country, so i guess i won't be able to get replacement unit. I became so desperate cause i often use it, i need to get this phone back to normal, soon! Thankyou and sorry for my bad english
So last night I hard bricked my nexus 4. its rooted, with cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM, and ive never had any issues with this phone. I have no idea what happened, but I sent a text message to someone, and it powered itself down. it was fully charged when this happened, so I know its not the battery. ive done some research, and its a true hard brick. no bootloader, no recovery, I just get a red/orange flashing light if I hold down the power button. google said im still under warranty, and they will still replace it even with it being rooted. My question is, is it possible to fix without having to get a replacement, or JTAG? If anyone has had any success, please help.
And like I said, I was only sending a text. I have no idea why it bricked, it restarts itself once in a while randomly, but this time it didn't turn back on.
Try plugging it into the wall for about 5 minutes then try turning it on again. If it doesn't work, RMA it. Why would you risk your warranty and JTAG it?

No, I DONT want to JTAG it. im looking for alternatives. if its possible to fix a hard brick without JTAG or using my warranty. If at all possible, I want to fix it, because I have a lot of pictures and everything on there that I would like to get out of it. I don't want to lose them. JTAG is my last resort if I cant get it replaced, but they said they would. I want my stuff off it though.

This is your last hope. If it doesn't work, RMA it and request for your data to be saved. Not sure if they can do it, but just ask.

This might be a noob question, but ive never heard of download mode. is it the same as recovery mode on the nexus 4?

ok so if the nexus 4 wont go into download mode, or fastboot, or anything else, I have no choice but to RMA it right? cuz the ONLY response im getting from it is a red/orange flashing light when I hold down the power button. other than that, nothing happens.

Did you press volume down first and then the power button both for a few seconds to get into fastboot mode?
Nope. The ONLY time it has any sign of life is if the charger is connected to it and I hold down the power button. If it's NOT connected to the charger, pressing the power button does absolutely nothing. I can't go into recovery mode, download mode, or the bootloader. I've tried charging it overnight, (and part of the next day) left it off the charger for over a week, it shows up as "Qualcomm-something" when I plug it into a computer, but I can't do ANYTHING with it connected to a computer either, and after I got my replacement, I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. There was still no change......I've literally done EVERYTHING short of JTAG. Trust me, I searched all over google, and XDA, and tried everything. As far as I know, hard bricking is rare, but it happens. And it just happened, to happen to me. So unless there's a solution someone knows of that I didn't just list, my last option is JTAG.
sinndissension said:
yep. ive done EVERY combination of holding down the buttons, no response. when I plug it in to a laptop, the laptop beeps, like the USB connection sound, but the nexus doesn't show up on the computer. I know the computer recognized what kind of phone it was, cuz the first time I plugged it in, I got a pop up message saying "installing qualcom drivers", or along the lines of that. other than that, NOTHING has worked. If theres ANY fix for this, id like to give it a try, cuz ALL my stuff is on there.

Try charging it for a while and try again in a few hours or better yet tomorrow. Sometimes that helps bro. If that doesn`t help you`ll have to take it in for repair an maybe they can salvage your data if they are wiiling to do that. Good luck.
I think it's just your battery(RLOD) instead of a brick.
See this:

I wouldn't be worried about your files stored on your phone because I think Google has more work to do than search in peoples pictures. What I would worry about is your warranty since you have a custom rom, unlocked bootloader and root...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well, found out it WAS a hard brick. Google replaced it with my warranty. For some reason they returned my money before I even got the chance to send the broken nexus 4 back. Didn't even mail it. So I'm assuming I don't have to send it back. So I'm gonna JTAG the hard bricked nexus, and hopefully it'll work again.
Thanks everyone for your help.

You may not be doing it right. When I get the flashing light on mine it means I forgot to let go of the power button fast enough. When it vibrates, let go of power button immediately but keep pressing the volume. Does your phone vibrate a few seconds prior to the flashing light?

so i have the same problem. was about to tweet with full battery so my question is what did you end up doing? Did you fix it or abandon it?
Weird. I've had the "red light of death" 2 hours ago because i didn't put the phone on the charger and it had like 4%. Pressing Volume down + power got it to enter fastboot and i was able to start the phone normally so it's charging booted

Ok, I got mine replaced because it was still under warranty, and normally, the manufacturer cant tell its rooted or unlocked if its a true hard brick, (rooting and unlocking voids your warranty.) So i got mine replaced.
If your NOT under warranty still, your ONLY option if you want to fix it is JTAG. Google it, it costs about 50 bucks on average, but its cheaper than a Nexus 4. Research JTAG before you try it though. Or you have to buy a new one. I still have my only one, and i basically use it for parts for my newer N4.
Is it a true HARD brick, or just a soft brick?

its a hard brick. ive tried it all bought a new battery installed it etc. ive looked up jtag and i have the money but idk if i should do it. do you recomend it? i have no experience doing anything like it and im planning on getting the iphone 6 in the fall but i cant stand not having a phone till then especially since high school starts soon.
But the reason im sure its a hard brick is cuz when it shut down the battery was like 50 and charging and it froze for 25 seconds or so then shut down and refuses to boot or show any signs of life now except a blinking or solid red light but its not the red light of death because i replaced the battery therefore i came to the conclusion that it is hard bricked.
i know ive said alot of unecessary information but my question is do you think i should buy the jtag thing? do you reckon its easy to do? or maybe i could pay an experienced professional to do it?
thanks for the reply btw
Hi all,
I have been coming to this forum for a while now but since I lost my login data I had to re-register and now can't post in the developers section.
My i9505 has one of the latest CM11 nightlies on it, and it worked fine apart from the device switching of for no appearent reason when in its holster (might have been unintentional pushing of buttons, I don't know) and sometimes not booting properly. Usually after some "convincing" by pushing the on button again it would start up eventually.
Today, it switched off again and now seems completely dead. No reaction what so ever when pushing/holding the "on" button, or the recovery or download button combo. When attaching the charger no animation is shown and the device seems to get pretty hot pretty fast.
Does anyone have an idea on what might be wrong, and is there anything I can still try to revive it, or should I just send it in for repairs? If it is dead no one can see there is a custom rom on it, right? So it should be covered by warranty...
Thanks upfront for any help!

As u said if your device "gets pretty hot in a very short time" maybe its a hardware problem(wrong chip)... Maybe some high voltage or someting...
Try a new battery, if that does not work, its dead I think..
Hey everyone,
First of all thank you for taking a look in my thread, this is my second post here in this forum but, I just have to tell you guys, I've been around since 2012 and you guys rock!
Anyway enough of chit chat, so I had my phone pretty much hard bricked, thanks to some tutorials I've finally found a way to get it back to life BUT ( there's always a but ), it isn't like before, everything was working very nicely after the fix, the Power button stopped working, the volume rockers are still fully functional but the power button isn't. So I thought "f*ck this, I gotta buy a new flex assembly", that's what I did, it arrived today, so I got to work and put it all together with the new button, but for my surprise it is EXACTLY de same as before, so it seems like it has nothing to do with the flex assembly/buttons itself but something more like motherboard or something..
Have any one of you guys had this issue? By the way another very interesting thing is that the buttton "still gives signal" since if I press on it, it doesn't do anything even with the phone off BUT, if I have the phone turned on, and I press it for 5+ seconds , it shutdowns the phone as it should! So why isn't it working when I do a press, but if I hold it works?
By the way my phone when died even the partition table got corrupted, so I even had to redo that could it have anything to do with it?
Oh and the basic tips of putting the phone in Download Mode and fully revert to stock didn't work, already did it many times since I brought it back to like..
Regards, and thank you for reading this LONG post and spending your time with me :silly:

Hi, i has been a long time until you wrote this topic, but now, in 2018, i got the same problem that you.
I bricked the phone, unbricked with some xda's tutorials, install a kdz image and system got ok, but the damn power button not work.
It work on a very specific moment that is when the phone is on and i press the button, after 5 seconds the phone turn off, but none menu appears, it just turn off. Besides, it won't work to turn on the device. In this case, i aways need to put the cable and when the LG log appears I must remove (if not, the battery symbol is shown, and the device not turn on).
I wonder if you were able to fix your phone or someone of xda had this problem.
Thanks
Nope never got it fixed just moved on and bought another device, besides that is now a outdated device..
