Hi guys,
I recently replaced the LCD and digitizer of my Nexus 4. After I booted it up, the new screen worked fine and it booted upto the paranoid android boot animation and was stuck there. I left it unattended for some time and when I came back the screen was black. Now when I connect it to my PC, I don't even here the USB detection sound.
Have I bricked my phone permanently? Or is there any fix to this?
Thanks in advance.
Check if the recovery is working. Make sure N4 is turned off, and then press vol+, vol-, and power button together. If the menu turns on, you can get to recovery and flash new ROM. At least I would try doing that.

Ok so, I was going to flash CM 9 v1 on my device, and when i was in clockworkmod recovery I noticed that the power button wasn't working at all.
I took out the battery and put it back and then it reboot itself and got stuck on the unlocked padlock screen.
Then i managed to boot it by pressing vol up and down at the same time and putting the battery in when plugged on the computer with the usb cable. This is the only way i can boot it. And after it runs a while it crashes and reboot into the unlocked padlock again. And this over and over.
Then I tried to go to recovery to reflash with the soft sensitive buttons and the fastboot screen doesn't do anything at all. If I press vol up or down to move around it gets stuck.
Got it to work a while and reverted back to stock rom with rom manager to see if fastboot worked again but nothing happened.
I need help to fix this.
I try to go to download mode but it doesn't work either. ADB works tho
Any suggestion??
(sorry fot the bad english)
i actually had the exact same issue a few weeks ago
it was an issue with the power button itself since i got everything back to stock and the power button still wasnt working properly
i had to send it to samsung repair center
they fixed it for free and it turns out the issue was indeed the power button
thank you for your answer!
i will send it to samsung!
So I got a stock HD2 from my bro today and decided to put Nand Android on it.
1. I first loaded HSPL 2.08 via HD2TOOL KIT. Everything worked perfect.
2. Then I installed MAGLDR also via HD2TOOL KIT. Got the MAGLDR menu and thought everything was cool. Then I proceeded to shutdown via the last item on the MAGLDR Menu.
3. The HD2 shut itself off. That's when I proceeded to try to turn it back on and got nothing but black screen.
-----so my HD2 right now:
1. Slight vibrate when I long press power button.
2. Stays on black screen with no changes.
3. Cannot get into Tri-color HSPL screen(vol down+pwr).
4. Will not charge
5. When connected to my windows 7 PC, it detects as qualcomm device.
Tried pulling battery, pressing soft reset(no action), Pressing vol up+down+ pwr for hard reset (no action).
Is my hd2 bricked? How is it possible that I bricked it by installing magldr via hd2tool kit?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys

No joke, im gonna say your screen is shot, especially after seeing its shattered. Lol. It honestly sounds like its booting up and working properly. Try putting it in bootloader and plugging it into your computer, like push vol dwn + pwr and hold it for 30 seconds or so. Then see what windows see's it as. It honestly appears to be working (from your video) just that youre not getting and display. If it were bricked, i dont think it would power up or vibrate.
Try opening it up and checking the cables inside to see if they are alright
Thanks for the help guys! I ended up leaving the battery out for 10 min. Put it back in. and everything was back to normal. phew!!!
Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise on a strange issue I have with my phone. If I power down the phone then it powers back up in download mode. If I take out the battery then put it back in, the phone will automatically power up in download mode.
While in download mode, if I hold the power down for 5 seconds to shut down the phone then quickly hold vol down + home + power then the phone loads to the "Warning!! a custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications" screen. From here, I can press vol down to "Cancel (restart phone)", after which the phone boots normally and everything appears to be fine. All the buttons work perfectly and there doesn't appear to be anything else wrong at all. However, powering down will again cause the phone to go into download mode.
The phone was previously rooted, but while trying to repair the issue I have flashed a stock firmware and tried a factory reset. This doesn't appear to have changed anything though.
In download mode the Binary Status is now Samsung Official and the System Status is Official too (which I'm hoping means I won't be refused a warranty repair). I think the phone may have got a little damp at the Reading festival last weekend, but I find it strange that nothing else appears to be wrong with the device apart from this weird boot loop.
Any suggestions to try something before I take it back to the shop would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

sorry was wrong.

Hi
did no work also
I am having the same problem, went to lg service centre, they could not enter download mode as well. I might need to change the circuit board for $321 singapore dollars..
Hi
i think you have to use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
This happened to me,
Try holding the power and volume down hold until lg logo, let go and press and hold the volume down and power again, it should get you in recovery.
It might get you into a screen called "Factory hard reset" Agree using the power button, and it should take you to your recovery, and try flashing a ROM along with the Gapps (if you want, which I did) and then I used a recovery file after booting back into recovery to restore it to my previous state.
Good luck :good:
Shut down phone
From what I got from this, you're having problems shutting down your phone, correct? It keeps booting back up after the screen goes black? If this is the case, hold the power button (and don't let go) until it goes black, reboots itself, then goes black again. Shouldn't take more than 2 seconds after rebooting to shut down. Then, you can do volume up + USB to get into download mode.

Thanks for your help,it sorted out my problem! :good:
I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Tab A T280 to the latest firmware and I lost my root. So this afternoon I re-rooted it. Or I attempted to, anyway. Everything seemingly went fine, and I booted into TWRP just fine. I went to flash the ROM and I also selected wipe cache/davlik cache to be done as well, and tapped reboot. My device then turned off and when it started the reboot, it got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A logo screen and would not move or power off by holding the power button (I tried for a LONG time by using a rubber band to hold it down so I didn't have to, with no luck), and every other combination of buttons wouldn't do a thing, except for holding power + vol down, which made it turn off and back on, but it wouldn't finish rebooting and it just got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A logo again. So then I thought that maybe plugging it into a charger might not be a bad idea, and after holding down power + vol down again, it turned off and turned on and showed a battery with a charging symbol. I've had it plugged in for an hour and it does not show a charge or do anything except for go back to that boot logo if I unplug it from the charger and again hold down power and volume down separately.
I know it's not hard bricked because it is somewhat responsive so I think there's a chance to fix it, hopefully. I just want it to turn on and fully reboot into anything or in any way that will allow me to be able to fix the issue. My computer will not recognize the device so ADB is not an option right now unless I'm wrong.
Thanks a lot guys, I am so confused and could really use some advice.
What firmware did you install
Try to install original firmware via software "Samsung Smart Switch" on your PC with connected tablet.
I too recommend that you try installing the last firmware that you were on via Odin. Also, when you hit that screen lock issue after a firmware flash, where only the Samsung logo appears do this:
1. press and hold Home + volume up and volume down along with power button (that's all 4 buttons). Hold it there for at least 20 seconds and it should power off.
2. Once the device powers off keep holding the buttons but let go of the volume down button.
3. Once the tablet starts to power back up again release the power button and then in about 1 to 2 second release the rest of the buttons.
This should get you back into recovery. You should at least be able to restore any backup, that you should have already, on your external micro SD.
Good luck.. : )
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
the above post is 100% right. Reboot back into recovery and you'll be good to go. Also twrp has a option to reboot back to recovery so this doesn't happen, just a fyi for future knowledge. Best of luck..
You tried to flash a rom with twrp?
You need to flash stock firmware with odin.
