I have a TAB 10.1, that WONT turn on, and WONT charge, I don't have the receipt as I have received it as a gift, however Samsung took it for repair AND DID NOT REPAIR IT ! Very disappointing!
Is there any other solution to fix it, when I plug it into the computer still nothing...
Please get back to me guys, need your help, thanks
did you tried holding the power button a little bit longer?
It happens from time to time. Just keep it charged and try to turn on from time to time (sometimes holding the button for multiple seconds). Eventually it will turn on. It's the standby of death problem.

yes, I tried everything, holding power down for up to a minute, holding power and volume up and down, also holding the power button while touching the screen, still nothing...
Try connecting to computer.
Or maybe its Sleep of Death issue. Search for it. you will get solutions like draining your battery completely.

Did you try Power button, then volume down button (only, don't touch the power up) for 8-10 seconds while still holding the power button, then letting off the volume down button? It always works for me.

yes I have tried that, nothing happanes, also nothing happens when I connect it with the computer as well (not even apx mode)...
I appeared to have hung my device out to dry a few times now. In the 'old' days pulling the battery and then replacing it would be the fix to be able to restart into recovery or fastboot etc etc. On the DNA holding down the power key until the 3 lower navigation keys blink has worked a few times although I am never quite sure if it's going to work (or exactly what I did). Most recently my phone was frozen in one of those "android has stopped working" messages and I could do nothing, I did the holding down power bit and got a message similar to: "continue to hold down power key to reboot phone for x seconds" x being 1 or 2 seconds on my device. It did not work (and was held for way longer than the 1 second)...after several trys it did manage to get it to work restarted and I was able to get into recovery and all was good. My question- is there a foolproof way to turn off the device or a proper method for doing so? That is when the phone is frozen or when the 'usual' methods fail?
You need to hold down the power button for between 10-15 seconds for a successful reboot.
Sometimes it needs to be plug into the charger or USB in order to reboot. So you plug it in then hold down the power button until the lights flash and it reboots.

Hello,
I just flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-zyxxos-5-1-1-v1-0-pure-stable-fast-t3229169
on my z2 (D6503). Yes, I know how dumb I am.
So the thing is, the phone won't boot.
Nothing happens.
No LED's, holding power button + vol up also doesn't work.
Red power button also doesn't work.
When I connect the phone to the PC nothing happens. It won't get detected.
Any idea how could I fix this, or is it hard bricked forever?
Update1: When I connected the phone to the pc and disconnected the battery from the mainboard the red light started blinking.
have you tried flashing a normal z2 rom?

Nothing works. No flashmode, no fastboot. It doesn't turn on. It's completely dead.
start the flashing process with flashtool and your phone disconnected
Hold Power button and the volume UP button until you feel your phone vibrate 3 times. Now its off.
when the program asks hold volume down and connect it to the pc/mac.
Hope this helps otherwise i dont know.

Reset the Phone
You need to do a factory reset. Hold volume 'up' button and power button at same time for a minute or so, then choose factory reset.

The battery is taped into the case with double-sided tape - in other words, very gently pry the battery out (from bottom of battery) & leave it out for a minute or two. Then put it back in & try again.
Fixes for the Boot Loop/Frozen ANS UL40
American Network Solutions (ANS) mobile phones provided by Assurance Wireless (Virgin Mobile) have been known to boot loop, freeze, stay frozen, crash, (right out of the box, brand new) and worse there is inaccurate or completely wrong information on how to do a factory reset and reboot the device. Below I will outline how to reboot the phone and perform a hard factory-reset with no home button on this cellphone.
Problem: Phone won’t turn off, won’t restart, or is stuck on and has no removable battery.
Solution: Keep the phone on and unplugged until battery dies or perform a hard reboot (see below).
Problem: My cell-phone is stuck on and there is no home button to do a hard reset
Solution: Perform a hard reboot. To restart a phone without taking out the battery, simply hold the Volume Up button, the home button (do not press if there is none obviously) and the Power button at the same time. While you hold these simultaneously, the phone will reboot in about 5 to 10 seconds.
Problem: I can’t factory reset my ANS UL40 phone (American Network Solutions) from Assurance Wireless by Virgin Mobile because I can’t get into the recovery menu.
Solution: Turn the phone off (or do a hard reset by holding the Volume-Up Button and the On-Button. Phones with no home button all reboot like this so just wait a few moments and the phone will restart.
Problem: My new mobile phone from Assurance Wireless gets stuck on the loading screen!
Solution: Perform a hard reboot (Volume Up + Power) then when it restarts and you’re on the white Assurance Wireless screen, stop holding power and only hold Volume Up. Keep pressing-and-holding the Increase Volume button and after a while you will be navigated to the Factory Reset Menu. You can wipe the cache partition only or perform a factory reset (which will also wipe the cache). To move around on the menu, use the volume keys (increase volume goes up, decrease volume goes down) and to select your entry simply use the power button (the on button). If this still doesn’t work, see further instructions in the solutions below.
Problem: Phone is frozen on loading screen, stuck in boot-loop even after factory reset/wiping cache partition.
Solution: After you have factory reset or wiped the cache partition you can also choose to install an update from the internal memory or sd-card. If you select this option it will perform a more rigorous factory reset then since you won’t have a package to install it will cancel. I’ve noticed my device getting out of the boot loop once I did this process and it was stuck on the boot screen even after I did a factory reset.
Problem: Can’t get to the recovery menu with my government assistance phone.
Solution: Turn off the phone and with the volume up button held down, power the device on. Keep holding both buttons until you see the white “American Network Solutions” screen with the outline of an eagle. At this point release the power button and continue to hold the volume-up key. After about 5 seconds you will now be inside the Recovery Menu and can do a factory reset.
Problem: My phone has no home button and I need to hard reboot to get to the Recovery Menu and perform a factory reset!
Solution: Hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button at the same time. for at least 10 seconds. Your device will restart and after the white ANS screen shows, stop holding the power button. Continue holding the increase audio key until you are at the Factory Reset / Recovery Menu screen. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and use the on button to select your choice.
Problem: My phone hangs on the blue Assurance Wireless screen.
Solution: See Above.
Even on the Virgin Mobile and Assurance Wireless websites and in the owner’s manual it says to hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key and to keep holding them until you’re in Recovery Menu. This isn’t going to work for two reasons on the UL40: 1) It has no home button! and 2) it will just keep rebooting every 5 seconds if you hold the power button down constantly. You have to hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button until the phone reboots and then let go of the power button while still holding the volume up button. Keep holding the volume up key until you’re into Recovery Mode.
I hope this helps as the information online is either incomplete or completely wrong. Some places say to keep holding the power button along with the volume up key and if you do that the device will just keep restarting, effectively creating a boot loop where there wasn’t any before. Genius! lol. I figured this out after my device, fresh out of the box, froze while charging on the blue Assurance Wireless screen. Finally OCD is good for something! These phones are supposed to be a “Lifeline” but I’d be hard-pressed to get ANYTHING on the line with this potato. Avoid at all costs unless absolutely necessary.
Enjoy. :highfive:

Great advice. Have had an ANS UL-40 for over a year, & they truly stink if you can't root them - which I can't since I've no computer access (for ADB). I honestly miss the old android Jellybean phones that could be rooted with just an app. Oh well.
I have a UL40, I tried the factory reset method, it reset but the phone is still suck on the blue assurance wireless screen.
Ps. It's been like this for days. It stays on the blue screen for about 5 minutes, then the screen is completely black. When I try to turn it on again, it's blue for five minutes then goes black.
Help...?
My ans ul40 keeps restarting. Every 2 to 5 seconds, on its own. I tried to factory reset it with the steps listed above and I can't tell if it works because when I hold the volume up and power button, it does two things, the phone will either shut off again and go into the constant restarting or number 2, it will show me a white screen as if to say the holding down of the volume and power button worked, but then it just goes back into the constant restarting... at this point I'm thinking I have to call for a new phone.
I have a ul40, technically 2 because one wouldn't hold a charge and now this one keeps crashing and giving me error codes. I can't afford to just drop money on a new phone (hence why i got this one) and I am FORCED to do a factory reset every 3-5 days because the memory gets so full, even if I erase memory, disable or delete apps and barely use it outside of texting or calling. Its frustrating to high hell. The code that shows up is either "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAME WORK KEEPS STOPPING", or "COM.ANDROID.PHONE HAS STOPPED"
Any advice is helpful advice.

Have you tried taking out the battery for a minute or two, then powering up? (Battery is only held down with tape - it can gently be pried out). The other option is a complete reset - instructions on holding the power & volume keys, etc, are posted already.
this phone seems to ship with a lot of malware factory-installed (and possibly more built into the firmware?) so it's critical to go into Settings->Apps and disable everything that looks suspicious, including the less obvious "notepad" app and "voice recorder" app. this should help your phone run somewhat better but there's some adware still running that i haven't figured out how to disable, so a perfect solution in theory would be to root the phone as discussed in this thread. unfortunately so far there doesn't seem to be a working root for this phone.
I did fatory reset from recovery until arrivet to let us go then skip sim then next as new device/retrive from cloud then lis of wifi appear and stop at this point nothing else appear to enter
what the solution please?????
Samsung Galaxy S9+ No custom, Just a normal phone from T carrier.
The situation is as follow. I wake up everyday and cannot turn on my phone, the screen is black but I hear it beeping when i press the volume keys. I do a Vol down Power to restart thinking it will , it restarts but the screen is black and unresponsive no matter what I do, the Power button is still functional at this moment.
What I quickly did is I connected the phone to my monitor using USB-C and i have a mouse connected to the internal KVM of the monitor- , perfect got excited that the phone at least works, on the monitor it shows up perfectly, I can control the phone with the mouse, enter my 4 digit password, works. That was the situation yesterday. Should have backed up then but didnt.
Today I wake up, the Power button does not work, so I read and find out that I can go downlead mode which I did using the Vol down and Bixby and plugging the charger.
tried the Vol Down and Power to restart it does not, so again I go in to the download mode and accidently press Volume up, Now I am completely stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target
1. Power button does not work- I have no idea how to get the past Downloading screen now
2. Would I be able to recover anything it its really dead?
3. Any tips?
