[Q] fml i think im bricked black vibrate errors

So let me start off with I've done research and not just posting up a new thread because I'm lazy. All of the threads that I have looked through all seem to be close but not the same as most people can boot into recovery.
Running Konis elite series III had it about a week with no issues Ive reboot plenty of times and havent had any problems once so ever. Now I think my problem happened yesterday when I needed to clear up some space and deleted the package I installed Konis rom from I figured since it was already installed the package wasnt needed anymore. I noticed later that day my number pad was no longer showing up didn't pay much mind to it figured i just needed a restart. Reboot the phone today at work and low and behold.
Phone gives me 3 vibrates no lights on regular power up.
Vol - power I get 5 vibrates green flashing led (gotta pull batt for it to turn off)
Vol + I get 3 vibrates no lights
The phone just stays black need to take out the battery in order to get the vibrate errors again.
All the threads I read regarding the 5 vibrates say its in diagnostic mode but everyone else is able to get into recovery. I think I am now the owner of an expensive paper weight. -_-
Would pulling the koni rom install file off the sd do this?
What does the vibrate error mean.. being in diagnostic mode is pretty broad how are you suppose to troubleshoot something like that :/

Are you able to get into the bootloader at all?

Are you absolutely 100% positive that you're holding volume down and power? That should take you to the bootloader. I saw someone with a similar problem, but they were just doing volume up instead.
What happens when you try to power the device normally?
And deleting the rom zip from your SD card shouldn't cause any problems. In fact, I can't think of a single way it could cause anything to go wrong. That is the only thing you deleted, right? You didn't delete anything from internal memory?

well i think that the 5 vibrates and green led's are indicative of safe mode. the other i'm not so sure about. if you're holding vol down and power and getting 5 vibrates then maybe there is a prob with your vol buttons. its acting as if your holding the vol up button without hitting it. maybe its stuck or something like that. just guessing though.

yo
Thanks for all the replys.
Nah doesn't let me do anything. I plug it in and it asks for broadcom drivers thats about it.
I made sure that the vol - is being pressed it gives me 5 vibrations and then the green led no recover menus/

A buddy of mine had the same problem after flashing the kingdom rom on his incredible. He sent it to the phone insurance company and they replaced the motherboard. So basically, your kind of screwed.
Well.....unless you can somehow fix it on the evo...... because I know we tried everything on his incredible, and it would just do the exact same thing every time, no matter what.

nvm same deal. it booted up intro recovery one time i erased cache and ran a saved backup on clockworks phone restarted after it finished and back to the same deal. yay.

What do you mean by back to the same deal?? Back to normal or back to the problem?

hardware related..
volume button keeps getting stuck some way some how and whenever the phone turns off its a pain to turn on. 30+ tries taking the batt in and out. When the phone would be turned on the volume would pop up randomly. Figured it was that so i bumped the phone on the desk with the buttons down and it cranked on did it again early today and it cranked up again after a few tries my phones toast. -_-

[Q] Help!! a100 Blackscreen

i have a a100 with the latest flexreaper rom installed and im stuck with a pretty serious issue:
a couple of days ago the tab was acting real slow and sluggish and getting bad battery life didnt think nothing of it so i just rebooted a couple times and left it alone . all was good untill the battery hit 10% and i plugged it up using the factory ac adapter. the next day (maybe 6-7 hours later) i went to turn it on and nothing no vibrate no screen flash nothing; other than the power button turning blue as i pressed it and it would stay on for a couple hours but still no other response from the tablet.
im at my wits end on what could be wrong and now i got my wife with her foot on my neck till i get it fixed. can anyone help me?
ive tried to do a hard reset with the reset button tried to boot into recovery /bootloader no dice
(also my home button flashed a couple time i pressed the power button) dont know if its relevant but wanna get as much info out as possible

wondering if anyone can help me...

It may take awhile for someone to see this and form something to try, random bricking for no reason is rare, its almost always some error by the user. However have you attempted adb connection to it? Leave it powered off, connect to the PC you used to unlock the boot loader then power on. Does the PC make the USB connect sound? Does the Acer vibrate? Did the home key blink again?
It really sounds like your boot partition is wrecked which wouldn't normally happen outside of flashing. If boot loader is trash then it won't know what to do and just sit there. No recovery or anything else.

it made something like the connect sound but instead of the regular duh doom sound it did a dadadoom (kinda hard to describe the sound) but it was faster than ive ever heard the connect sound before which is weird. the tab didnt vibrate and it seems the home button blinks when the tab is dead and needs recharged

Yeah I know that sound it means USB connected but error for some reason. Its been shown if this thing dies all the way down it wont read the battery correctly and probably needs to be sent in. Before that I personally would unplug it open it up and remove the battery for awhile, maybe an hour then put it back and plug it in. But thats me, not the advice I'm giving. If you have warantee on it use that.
The batteries on a lot of devices and laptops etc have something of a fail safe, if the voltage drops below a certain point it trips to prevent cell damage, however it renders the battery useless.
I haven't searched out much past that if a reset is possible by us, but it seems the pack is trash after or needs sent in.
Since this is a sealed unit you void warranty opening it (well unlocking the boot loader did too) so you can't send it in for repairs without paying for it.
I hope someone can jump in and help figure this out, and prove me wrong.

Weird, This exact same thing happened to me. Used it in the morning and now after work it won't turn on. I had already tried disconnecting the battery, but hadn't thought to leave it disconnected for an hour. My tablet has been running the leaked ICS since it came out and The last factory reset it had was about a month ago. It was working fine up until this. The power button seems to be responding correctly, the issue is that after the LEDs light up, there is no vibration or display. I hope someone can help us with this issue.
EDIT:
It won't connect in ADB mode. It will only appear on my computer as an APX device and since there is no vibration I am unable to boot into fastboot. Any help or suggestions? All the threads I have found have involved booting into fastboot.

i am also having this problem. i set ti backup last night to save to box i turned it on this morning it.worked set it on the charger came back to a frozen screen. I turned it off now just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen

I plugged to the charger and this morning I tried to turning it on but it failed. I did the reset pin but nothing. I connected to the computer and it was recognized as a APX device and installed a driver ACER Picasso USB recover but i cant access anything. I am a nob. Thanks

A100 blackscreen
i am also having this problem. last night. just a black screen it turns on or the home button dose but nothing comes up on the screen. :crying: Help!!!!!!

Has anyone tried holding the power button for a while? Laptops do this too, if someone felt ventures, try taking the battery out and hold the power button. No promises, might work.

Having the exactly same issue, here...
I also tried to hit the hardware reset button and it does not help.

If the screen is blank while powered on its in failsafe mode, in other words is bricked, has to go to Acer.

This just happened to me a few weeks ago as well. If you are still under warranty send it in to Acer, thats what I did. I just got an email saying they had fixed it and were sending it back for free!!
At the time I was on the 9/02 JB build. I wonder if this issue is caused by faulty hardware or if it is an issue that was made by rooting and unlocking it? I don't know enough about this stuff to answer that though, but it does make me think whether I should root/unlock it when I get it back or leave it stock.
Also thanks Pio_masaki for helping me a few weeks back wasn't sure if I was even going to send it in until you said they most likely won't be able to tell.

I highly doubt they even CARE when sending these in. They will void for physical damage most likely.

Ohmygod,
Same here, but it's 3 years ago. Sorry for digging the topic. Still no hope? I still keep the tablet and have just buy another refurbished mainboard to replace but still no vibrate and blacksreen still there.

Lumia 900 just died... like totally dead!

...and won't turn on. Totally non-responsive. It's barely 2 months old. I was browsing on it, and battery level was about 75% (3/4 charged). Connected to home WiFi. Now it's not responding at all - power button doesn't do anything. I have connected it to a power source; typically this powers on the phone even if it's off - nothing so far. Took out the SIM, and tried that too. No dice. I have the June 6th update installed.
Any one experienced something like this? Any thoughts? Any advice?

Did u try a hard reset?

1. plug into original nokia USB adapter and cable. leave connected for up to 1 minute. If nothing then,
2. as previous poster stated, do a forced soft reset holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
3. try hard reset -- hold down volume down + camera key, then press power down for 2-3 seconds.
Good luck

Would you try something a little un-orthodox? It may sound strange, but before you go and wipe all your data from your device with a reset try this:
Take your device, put it in a nylon/plastic bag (like those you put your sandwich in) and seal the bag. Now put the bag with your device into the freezer (YES! that thing in your kitchen!) for 15-20 minutes.
After that, take your device out and try to turn it on.
This method worked for a similar problem which occurred with another Nokia device with a non-removable-battery, the N8...

How to perform a soft reset http://www.wpcentral.com/tip-how-soft-reset-nokia-lumia-800-lumia-900

Thanks to everyone who replied. I tried the key-combinations to perform a reset. Did not work. Used the Nokia charger and left it plugged in, no change. Even tried the freezer-bag advice... nada. Phone was truly dead, from a 100% running state. Extremely weird. I've been in touch with Nokia USA and would have taken it to the store on Monday morning.
HOWEVER - out of nowhere, totally randomly, it turned itself back on at some point. I had it on my bed-stand, and was in the other room when I heard it ring. Ran over, and sure enough - it was alive, well and performing like nothing had happened.
No idea what (if any) of the methods I tried worked, but it resuscitated itself.

LOL! You probably got the Lumia 900P - the Phoenix version! :laugh:
To tell you the truth, yesterday I had a strange "almost dead Lumia 900" moment myself! I was on my way from work to the bus station, while listening to music on an internet radio station (I'm using the "Tunein Radio" app) when I decided to change the station I was listening to, and when I switched to the other station the screen became entirely black and all I could see is the station's Stop/Favorite/Bookmark buttons.
Anything I clicked on did absolutely nothing... At one point the screen became completely blank but the device was still working (I knew it was still on because I could hear the static 'clicking' sound in my headphones when I connected them to the device), so I just tried pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds, and the device finally turned itself off...
After turning it on again, everything was working as if nothing happened... Odd stuff...

Galxy s2 Vibrating and crashes at loading bar.

So i've looked around and no one that i've seen has the same exact problem as i do. Here's my post in another forums about my problem.
Here's my story about my Galaxy s2 for T-mobile. My phone randomly turned off 2 days and whenever i tried to turn it on, it would restart and basically never get pass the blue loading bar screen. Second, i found out about this boot loop sequence and i was able to do a factory wipe.
After i factory wiped the data etc off the phone, i was able to use it until it ran out of battery, but then after i found out it ran out of battery, it wouldn't let me turn it back on, it wouldn't get pass the loading screen, once again. On the other hand, i am able to go to recovery mode or download mode, but the phone shuts off before i can even try and click on the options i want.
Today, i found out that if i kept pressing power button consecutively on the phone, I'd be able to go to my home screen and basically act as if nothing ever happened, it'd function as a new phone! I then had the nerves of turning off my phone just to make sure it finally works now, but my hopes were crushed and now the pressing the power trick does not even work anymore. It would probably work one out of 10-15 times, and in the end it'd still restart. I am using a gingerbread galaxy s2. My friend tried using the usb jib on my phone, and it worked but whenever he tried to plug in the usb, the phone would just restart. I am extremely frustrated with this, and if you can help, please do so because it's important that i fix this phone. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Hi there, thank you for the welcoming me to the forums. No, my phone is not rooted, it has always been gingerbread etc i never tried rooting because i never knew how:/ I believe this started when i was just browsing around facebook, so i'm not entirely sure what happened... Uhmm i tried going to download mode through the volume keys and power button when it's connected to usb to the i think it's odin3? and it'd be in the download mode but as soon as the computer says it's connected, the phone would just turn off again and bam, it's like nothing ever happened. My phone does charge when it's plugged in, but it doesn't show it's being charged but i remember my battery was dead last night and i charged it till today and now it's got power. ANd no i don't have a warranty:/ i really hope you can help me

Sounds like a faulty power button. Check out Mobiletech video for thier power button repair service.

[Q] HTC One X won't turn on

I know there are already a LOT of topics concerning this - I have read through them all frantically, trying to find a solution before turning to asking myself.
So, here's exactly what happened, and what I've tried.
My phone was just fine, running perfectly, nice battery life. I had been running CarbonROM for about 2 months, without any issues, didn't change anything recent to this problem occurring. So one night I was at a party, and didn't have an available charger, so my phone ran out of power completely. The next morning when I came home, I set it to charge, the LED lit up, as far as I remember at least. In the evening I turned it on, and I got to the SIM pin-code unlock screen. I entered the PIN, and my phone turned off. No crash screen or anything, it just went straight out. I figured that maybe it hadn't charged properly, so I let it charge for a few more hours, and then tried again - same thing happened. I instantly tried to turn it on again, but this time nothing happened at all. I held the power button down for at least 1 minute, to no avail. When I put in the charging cable, the LED doesn't light up.
So, as I said, I have been reading around on this forum and other places, trying to find a solution. Some people said holding down the power button and volume up and down at the same time for 2 minutes would fix it, it didn't. I have tried several times. Most recently someone said I should connect my phone to my PC with the USB cable, and then hold down the power button and volume down. This time, something did happen. But not on my phone's end. I have done this 2 times, with the same result. At exactly 7 seconds, my computer turns off, as if I had "choked" it by holding down the power button on the PC. This seems really odd to me, since the phone can't even turn on, so I don't see how there can be any connectivity.
I hope someone here has a solution, knows why it happened, or can at least guide me in replacing any part if needs be. I hope not, though.

Bump
Should I just send it in for a repair? I have an idea that doing so will be very expensive...
