A few days ago, I ordered the Mi 10 and now I have it. I wanted to transfer files to it, but my pc doesn't recognize the phone but it does charge. I don't get a notification on my phone too, so I contacted the website where I bought it. They told me that I can get a new cable, but they don't sell the original cable without the phone. I don't want to change the phone actually, but I want it to work. Do you guys have suggestions what I can try/do?

I purchased a P500 last month and after two days the phone went dead. I didn't even use it. After two days of being a drawer I turned it on and the screen was stuck on the LG logo. It would not move past that and I couldn't turn it off via the power button. I connected it to my computer and realized I had to download drivers for the phone and did so along with the LG Mobile Updater. I took the battery out of the phone for a few hours and when I came back and put it back in, it did the same thing. This continued for a couple of days. I came to this forum and read about many having the same problem. I tried to connect the phone to the computer but windows still did not recognize the phone, even after installing the drivers. I got the phone into emergency mode and only then did windows recognize it. I then tried to update the phone with LG's Mobile Update, hoping this would restore it to normal and during the update the software froze up, the phone, my computer, mouse--everything. I couldn't do anything. Afraid I might tear up the phone (and my computer) I left it connected hoping that at some point the update would resume on it's own. The next day everything was still frozen! I still couldn't do anything so I disconnected the phone and restarted my computer. My computer is fine, my phone is dead. It will not turn on or take a charge. I know that before hand the battery was full, but even if it wasn't the phone will not even light up when connected to the charger or computer. An even bigger problem is that this model, the P500 is not sold in the US, where I live. It came from Thailand. US division of LG says that it is a UK model and they cannot fix it. They gave me the number to UK's division of LG, who is saying they cannot fix it b/c it's out of region and if they touch it, that voids the warranty. I'd have to send it to someone in the UK so THEY can send it in to be repaired. I don't know anyone in the UK. This sucks b/c it's their software that froze and blew everything. This is a brand new phone. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? The phone won't even go into emergency mode now.
Was it a branded phone? Orange Vodafone? I'm just curious, this is a hardware fault for sure. The only thing I think you can do is to jump start the battery at a phone repair shop, and if it doesn't work change the terminal.
P.S. 90% of branded phones are refurbished(the low price explication), that's why I asked in the firs pace.

Not that I know of. Nothing says Vodafone on the box it came in. It says LG P500. Doesn't say Vodafone anywhere on the phone either. It (was) running Android 2.1.
Hi There,
Last month I was on a trip and I took lots of pictures and video of family of family, and filled up my SD card. I switched to internal memory since I didn't have a computer at the time.
I was using my phone on the kitchen table reading a wikipedia article and the screen turned off (automatically). I pressed a button to turn it back on so I could continue reading, and nothing happened. I pressed the power, the home, everything, but got no response from the phone.
I pulled the battery and put it back in, and still got nothing. I have a few spare batteries (and my girlfriend has the same phone so I knew they were fine), and was unable to even get a boot screen.
I pulled the phone in and tried turning it on this way. I felt the area next to the camera get warm, but was still unable to see any other signs of life out of it.
I plugged the phone into my computer as a next step, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I pressed the power button, the area got warm, but still my computer refused to recognize anything.
I called Bell, and they said there was nothing they could do, but since I had phone insurance, I could get it replaced. I asked them about my pictures, and they said they couldn't do anything to save them.
I called Samsung, and as I was travelling in the US, I got the US Samsung, which, upon hearing the model number, told me to call Samsung UK. I thought that was weird, so I called Samsung Canada through my VoIP account, and they told me to call a local dealer.
I called the local dealer, but they told me they only serviced printers. I called back, and they sent me to Samsung Service Absolut, some outfit in Montreal that services Samsung phones and apparently other things as well. They transferred me around, and told me that they couldn't help me, since the phone seemed to be dead.
I'm trying to locate somebody that can help me get my data from my phone. I've tried contacting a few people, but they told me they couldn't help.
Does anybody here know how to help me?
Thanks!!!!
EDIT: I tried a USB jig and got nothing, no screen, ODIN didn't detect it, my computer didn't detect it (WIndows and Linux both, multiple computers)
Strange...
Give a Try to USB Jig

Nope no JTag attempts, how does that work? I believe generally there's a JTag port or something isn't there? Or does it go work via the USB plug?
Just Go to Any Good Mobile Repairing & jTagging Shop

My mom still has a Samsung stratosphere (verizon) and her upgrade isn't until December and we don't really have the money to go out and buy off contract :/... OK so the past few months it's been laggy and glitchy a lot but recently she dropped it and the screen went entirely black. The phone still turns on but the screen won't do anything. She's taken it to the vzw store and they said they can't do anything. Currently she is using an intensity 1 as a backup (ancient brick). She had a lot of data on her phone so I tried plugging it into a pc to transfer and it won't even read it. Tried plugging her SD card in, computer goes unresponsive and crashes. So I know a friend with an old working stratosphere so do you guys think it would work if I switched my mom's hardware from her phone into a working phone? I would try and replace the screen but they are around $100 and for how old it is its not worth it. is this an option that would work or should I give up and burn the damn thing?
PS: I posted on this thread because I could not find a Stratosphere thread..
Hi Friends,
I am new to this website and I am here to get a possible DIY solution to restart my Galaxy S2.
Its been a week now and its not working at all . I have checked almost all videos and thread however unable to find a steamline solution.
My phone was showing Samsung logo in case of power Up however after that there was no responce. Tried several times but no luck.
Later I gave my phone to Samsung sevice station , guy gave the assurance to get it done in 3 hrs as its a normal thing. Today, I got my phone back in a dead state and he says (Sir, we are unable to reboot as it has some harware issue and will cost over 8k INR to change the mother board).
Guys, I dont find it worth investing on a 2 Yr old phone. Hence I want to take a chance to get it started myself.
Please Guide.
You can't. Do you think they make this stuff up at service centres or something ? Not everything is a Samsung conspiracy against users.
If your phone won't boot at all & shows no signs of life, what do you expect anyone here to say ? One way or another, if you want your phone to work again, you're replacing the motherboard. Whether you pay a service centre to put a new one in, or whether you source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone (one with a broken screen which is otherwise OK, for example) & either replace it yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop (who isn't a Samsung service centre) to do it, is up to you.
As you've already mentioned you have a 2 yr old phone that doesn't work, and it won't be working again without you spending a not insignificant amount money. If it were me, I'd be getting a new phone.
Hi all,
So I went to T-Mobile for a replacement for a 2 month old S5. It has been randomly rebooting and not taking phone calls for a couple of weeks now, and hopefully, was just a defective unit.
I have root on my current phone, and plan to root the replacement, but since I have a new phone with guaranteed stock, untripped knox, is this a good time to play around with roms on the old defective unit? I have a few days before I have to send the old one back. Does T-Mobile check stuff like that on defective units, or do they just send it to a refurb facility or junk it?
My s5 has the same issue as yours. I called T mobile and the support guys recommend me to remove the sd card. However, after 24 hours, my phone randomly restarted one time, when I open the Youtube. I am no idea what cause the phone reboot. I am think about call T-moblie again for a replacement. any idea?
