I totally think I brick my Venue. Here's what happened, I pushed the - volume(down volume) and then the power. I got a nice little list of options. I then push the download SD option, out of curiosity,and then it started to do a factory reset.
Obviously I didn't want this, but It started to shutdown the phone. I thought hell I'll have to put everything back on the phone, but the phone never came back on.
You can see the power come on at the bottom when the buttons light up, but nothing not even the dell screen.
I can't even push the two volumes and power button to boot, or the down volume and power to boot. Any Ideas?
Ok since no one wants to reply to this thread I will.... After looking a little further on this site I found a thread that someone removed the apps that were installed on the SD card and then their phone booted just fine. I didn't have a chance to try this as Dell had my replacement phone delivered to me within two days.
Hi, I have the same problem here, I think my phone is bricked. The phone won't start and Dell logo loops when I boot the phone, nothing else happens.
So can someone tell me what I can do from here to get it boot again? I can't seem to get the update.pnk to the memory stick and try run it from there. What can I do ???
help
1st thread does it boot at all?
2nd guy sounds like you can adb to fix it. i did the same thing messing with the boot.ini

just reread yours David,
you hard bricked it, i did that to my vibrant 4g/sgs4g. i had to send it in to be reflashed with a jtag sodderless machine. i found one online for $30 that included return shipping!!!
Hello,
Have the same problem, and yes, I'm curious. So I have the same problem. And what I have achieved. So if I plug usb cable and power with volume down, I can load the system. And all working but battery indicator with question and no indication of charging. I try to calibrate battery with no result. May be some one know what can I do with battery?

It is likely that you plug/unplug your USB cable quite frequently -> the device thinks that there are problems with your power supply and to save the battery's life the device stopped charging.
I think you can remove the battery, then insert it again + attempt to recharge. Please try!
hi everyone, I have the same scenario with the first..and now it won't boot...the dell logo doesn't show up....please help....thanks

Hi
I have a Rooted S-on HTC EVO GSM, Flashed Rom : [ROM] Crypt0's RUU V.1.4 | FAST | STABLE | WWE [24 OCT]
Had the phone for just under a month and after a big night out my battery died. Put phone in charger and left over night. Woke up and phone wouldn't turn on. i have tried everything. also read all the other posts.
I have taken out the battery for 20min and put back in. i have removed SD card and done a battery drop too many times.
When i plug the phone to the charger the light comes on for 2-3 seconds and turns off again.
1)Was just wondering of solutions people have come up with that have worked!?!
2)Also if i send the Phone back for a warranty replacement will i get a replacement considering the phone is rooted and has a custom rom flashed?
3)does the CWR have anything to do with the phone not charging?
Am currently going to try to charge the battery manually by using the wires in one of my cords and attached them to the + & - point on the battery. this worked on my HD2 might just work for my Evo.
more than likely is a bad connection. try a new usb cable and i bet it will solve your problem
CWM 5.0.2.0 won't charge when the phone switchs off.
try plug in to pc and do adb reboot bootloader
My roommate's evo 3d died the same way today.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hold camera button while turning on, works for me.. dunno why..
Then charge while on..
Sent from a sad Evo 3d gsm owner, using xda app! :'(
hey thanks for all your responses. have tired 3 different cables.
1. i bought from ebay
2. i have for my WD HD
3. my HTC cable that came with my phone and I still get the same thing. Wont boot.
I have found that when i have my charger plugged in my phone and do a battery drop and then put it back in the charging light flashes 5-6 times but that the only thing that's different. still doesn't boot.
Holding the camera button doesn't work.
To be honest i cant remember what version of CWM I have but i'm 99% sure it has charged before when asleep. i will check what version i downloaded when i get home.
just a little more information:
I had flashed a new rom the night i went out. Everything was working. making calls, sms and camera but when i flashed my rom i had a wifi error so i flashed a kernel that matches the rom. that's about it. phone battery died that now your up to date.
would still like to know if i could send this back to get a replacement? not too sure how it goes with the whole phone being rooted and a new cooked rom on it? i bought the phone on ebay and i live in Australia so if i was to send the phone back it would take ages. just want to make sure they will replace before i send it off.
however any other solutions would be much appreciated.
OK! So took the SD card and the battery OUT for 30min then put the battery back in with the SD card sill OUT and pressed the volume down button and power on button (i had done this before but didn't seem to work last time)...
Didn't boot up so got frustrated and kept hitting the power button with the volume button still held down. When i let go of the volume down button the phone finally booted up into recovery!! Problem Solved! its charging ATM but i dont understand what the SD card has to do with the phone not booting up? will keep it charged until I get home so I can back up my data and reformat my SD card!
If anyone know about what the the SD card has to do with the phone not booting please let me know pretty interested to find out why that is?
I would also like to know about warranty information considering phone is rooted and has a flashed stock rom. I'm sure people out there have a phone that are rooted and flashed but wont turn on! if the phone doesn't turn on can't HTC just replace the Phone as they have no other way to find out if the phone is rooted and flashed?
I know these are separate questions but if anyone knows the answers, would be much appreciated to find out.
Thanks to all who have responded! and remember if this solution has worked for you let people know!
same thing happened to me the other day I had CWM installed. Install Revolutionary & you should be good

hi, also I have the same problem! i've removed the battery and the SD-Card for a lot of time..I've reboot the phone without the SD but when i plug the phone to the charger the light comes on for 2-3 seconds and turns off again (and my EVO 3D GSM Wont Turn On!)..please help me!!
i've solved..battery was died..
I have read the similar threads, unfortunately they do not seem to help.
Relevant information:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 9 2nd June 2012 Nightly
Kernel: Siyah 3.2.8
What happened: I was playing Rage of Bahamut (a game, nothing too intensive) when my screen appeared to dim and get stuck on the current image. I could press the home button and the screen will turn off, pressing home button 4 times triggered the inverted colors mode but I could not get to the homescreen itself, so I turned off the phone. When I tried to turn it on again it won't turn on.
What I tried:
Swapping out with a full battery - Doesn't work
Booting with USB Jig - Doesn't work
Plugging in to PC to see if USB is recognized - Doesn't work
Trying Recovery and Download key combinations - Doesn't work
I'm utterly at a loss as my phone appeared to be working fine, and from what I read the SGS2 is unbrickable. However I have been reading on the Siyah thread that 3.2.8 has a lot of issues and I really hope that I'm not experiencing another hard brick like what happened with Siyah 3.2.1RC6 (IIRC).
Thanks for reading! Hope someone has a suggestion.
Note: Interestingly, when I plug in the charging cable after a while the back of the phone gets warm; However still nothing happens when I attempt to turn it on. No response, no vibration, no soft key lights no nothing.
Service center (JTAG repairer might well say unfixable). No signs of life, no download mode, no jig. Dead phone.

I was kinda resigned to that. Just hoping one of you guys might have an obscure method to bring the phone back to life.
Thanks for your kind reply!
U cant turn the phone on, your pc doesnt recognize it, you cant go into recovery or download mode, you cant use USB jig. Oh boy, you're in deep trouble. Maybe the charge of the phone might be finished? U sure the other battery you placed was fully charged? I have never seen someone whose phone doesn't turn on at all, and even the pc doesnt recognize!

Dude, i dont even think this is a problem related to the software. I think its probably the hardware. Maybe the battery case has some defect? You should go see an expert for this.

Indeed I suspect it's hardware also. The strange thing is, I took the battery out to charge it in an external charger, and left the phone battery-less while I slept. When I woke up, I put the battery in and tried to turn on the phone. No luck. Strange thing was that after a while the phone felt warm.
Hi!
I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)
It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.
Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it
-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive
-Without the battery --> Nothing happens
If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.
I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.
I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.
Does anybody have a solution?

Try this:
1) Power down (if not already powered off);
2) Pull the battery out;
3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;
4) Boot the phone.
If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.

The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.
Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:
1) unplug power;
2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.
I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.

No worries -- your duty (of course) is hit the Thanks button when folks help and we get somewhere. I also fixed a couple typos in my reply (typed on a phone, and naturally ends up imperfect. Just didn't want you confused. One way or another, you can get the phone back up and running.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).
If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.
We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.
thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
Ok, I see what you're saying.
Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.
Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.
To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.

Hello!
A few weeks ago my friends Honor 7 display cracked. So I ordered a new display+frame from "Ali" as I already have done a few times before.
After transferring all the hardware to the new frame and connecting everything as it was before, two issues arose:
1) the battery seems dead. When plugged into a charger, the battery does not charge. But I found a useful thread which might work, so this is not the main issue.
The more pressing issue is:
2) the phone enters a boot-loop when powered up (it does not matter if I power it up with or without battery). SD-card and Sim-card are not in phone when powering up. The boot-loop consist of a short vibration and then showing the first screen "Honor - powered by android", then going dark and starting over. It is to be noted that no rooting or flashing was done to this phone.
I already tried the old display again but now the same issue arise there too.
I guess doing a factory-reset might be the only solution but I wanted to ask here before doing that, since I was not smart enough to save the internal storage data before changing the display.
EDIT: I can only enter "Fastboot mode" not "Huawei eRecovery". When trying to enter "Huawei eRecovery" it just vibrates really short and then does nothing.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I have the same problem
Hello,
Last night, i plugged my phone into the charger,woke up, phone was off,tried turning it on but didn't respond.
Anyone else has experienced anything like this?
Things i tried:
took out the battery, waited for a while and tried to turn it on.(nothing)
hold volume down key and press the power button.(nothing)
hold volume up key and press the power button(nothing)
Phone does not respond to anything. does not even vibrate.
LED does not blink when plugged to charger.
nothing.
If you pull out the battery, then put it in again and connect the phone to the power plug does it turn on? In thst case could be just the power button not working.
My god, it happened the same to me on Monday, yesterday. Went to sleep, put phone to charge, woke up in the morning, phone is turned off. Also bought a new original battery couple of months ago. Never had a problem really. I took it to official care service and they diagnosed one of the processors on the motherboard has failed.
Ofcourse them being them "they cannot fix this without replacing motherboard" meaning losing all the data.
Can anyone please advise what to do? I am willing to pay for the information or the work if you can do it. I am picking up the phone in two days and will try to do something myself. Care service provider is a total let down. In 2020 they say they cannot access internal memory. I cannot believe this.
By the way, did the OP get any info or resolution yet?

Mine it does not. What does happen, when I plug it in computer I hear the sounds a device has been connected but nothing happends, phone is not seen as charging or anything.
If you are able to reach at least the recovery, you can back up the memory and then replace the motherboard.
By the way, do you have any recovery installed?
How is the phone recognized by the pc? Try to look in the device manager, if you are using windows, to see which driver is loaded when you connect the G5.

Thank you for a quick response. Unfortunately after reconnecting the phone to notebook I only hear the sound "that sth is attached - win10", after opening the device manager nothing new is shown in the "usb section". In addition I also cannot find any past backups I have done of the phone so that option is out.
I did find these two firms 1) securedatarecovery and 2) r3datarecovery. I have sent an enquiry with description of my situation asking if they can do an image copy of the internal memory to another phone or at least access the data and waiting for their reply. Do you maybe have any experience with them and knowing if they are any good?
Unfortunately I have never tried a similar recovery. Usually the phone just gets stuck into bootloop or fastboot, but in the worst case, it is locked on a screen with the processor's name. For both these options there are guides on XDA. But for your case, i have no idea on how to proceed.
When you said there is nothing in usb section, you mean on the icon on down on right of the screen for ejecting the pendrives or you mean the device manager in the control panel?
Talking about recoveries, I didn't mean shops that repair phones, but a partition on the phone that can be used to reboot the phone in a simple operating system if android stops working. If you have never installed TWRP or OrangeFox, you have the stock recovery on your phone, that just erases everything and restores the phone to the original state.

Thanks again for reply. I meant in the device manager. I have never installed mentioned program, I did use LG default app for making backups in windows but those are too old to be relevant.
I found info online where people swtich emmc chip to another motherboard and just turn on the phone or use a direct chip reader to access data in explorer view through specific programs. Do you have maybe any info of that? Thanks again for all the answers so far.
In theory, that should be possible, but it would require very good soldering skills and tools. I have no idea of the exact procedure in this case.
