It looks like my Tytn II might be bricked... I have searched and searched and can not find any info on this. The phone will not turn on. I know the battery is dead, but it should have the power to try to boot. In fact, I have not used it in a while and I just tryed to boot it, it got to the starting screen, then the windows loading screen, and then I walked away for a few minutes and came back it and it was a black screen. Tried to turn on again and it did not power up. Upon plugging it into the charger, I get a solid red light on the top. When I remove the battery from the phone as the charger is connected the LED immediately changes to solid orange, and the blue led next to it comes on as well. When I disconnect the charger all the LEDs go off (obviously because theres no battery) and when i put the battery back in the phone i get a dim red light.
is the phone bricked? im thinking it might have slight water damage but it has been like 2 weeks since then so it should have dryed up i assume. tried to reset a few times with the little reset button next to the charger port, nothing. is it possible the battery may just be done for? any help or suggestions would be great. thanks.
I had that isue but i just leaved the phone on charger and everything came back to normal It's still working very well. But, i cant remember how i get into that situation but i surely know that i saw red light on top .
thanks, now that its been on the charger for a while i now get an orange LED. i will let it charge for a while and see if it awakens after almost 3 weeks of utter deadness.
Try waking it while on charge itslef.

just tried and it got to the very first boot screen and then went black and the orange and blue LEDs stayed on. tried to reset, no luck. unplugged charger, still LEDs stayed on. so then I took the battery out, all LEDs went out, plugged it back in and now i get the same red LED again.
update: now i get a orange LED as its plugged into the charger, but when i try to turn it on it gives the first boot screen for like 3 or 4 seconds then turns off...
I am getting exactly the same problem?
I tried to install android - got it working, came on a few times - then just totally died - It showt he HTC boot logo, but then just turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas.
does your computer see it when plugged in via usb?
perhaps this will help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136
oh and also you have tried to enter the bootloader mode right?
I've had this issue, millions of times. What I do when I have problems like this (and problems like when I turn it on, it says the battery is low when it isnt, and when you connect your charger/USB, it dies on you)
Try removing and putting the battery back on.
so in simple words
charge the battery first (dont bother trying to turn it on)
and then remove the charger (this plays a big role)
take out the battery, put it back in, hope it works.
The same thing just happened to me, I thought it was toast. I would get the red light when I plugged into the charger, and after a few minutes it would turn to orange. I tried to turn it on then, and it would start to boot up, then shut off a few seconds later. This happened a few times. I just left it plugged in overnight, and when I woke up it was on! Only problem I've noticed is the orange LED is always on, but I can live with that
Hello everyone,
So I am new to XDA forums and I have a few questions about the HTC Vivid. I just recently purchased a phone for cheap just to practice doing how to root and do certain task on phones. When I purchased the phone I knew that the phone was not working properly. When I tried to turn on the phone nothing happen but I saw that the screen did light up in a black screen. I took the battery out and checked the battery and the connection to the battery on the phone everything seems fined. When I put the battery back in and tried to turn it on nothing happened. Think it might just be a dead battery I charged it all night. While changing I noticed the phone led light was not constant it kept blinking and a screen showed up real quick and it looked like it booted into recovery real quick and shut off. It kept doing this by itself for a while. (Cycling) Then it finally booted into the white boot screen with the HTC Logo. I thought the phone was finally going to work but nothing happened it continued the cycling process again for a while. Thinking there was a possibility of fixing the phone I connected it with my PC and using both Windows and Linux. When I connected it with Linux (Ubuntu) nothing seems to happen. When I connected it with Windows it does the same thing as if i charged it. The orange led light blinks a couple times and then becomes solid for a bit and blinks again life it was Morse code. This time I see a black screen lighting up more and boots fewer times booting into recovery. I think it booting into recovery because I remember the CWM. Through all this process while connected with my computer I see that it is attempting to connect with my computer but then shut off. After approximately 8-10 minutes of cycling i get the white screen with the HTC logo again and then the cycle happens again.
My question is what is the problem with the phone? A few things that pop into my mind is probably just the battery is fried, the microusb is bad, or something went wrong during the process of flashing something onto the phone. I was very detailed about the problem and what I noticed because like I said I purchased this phone only to learn how to root and do other various things on a phone. Is the phone salvageable? I will post a video later if my detailed description didn't make sense or you just have to see it happening.

OK, first thing to do is to charge the battery in an external charger. That is the *only* way to eliminate the battery as a problem. If the phone wont boot with a fully charged battery, see if it will boot into recovery mode. If you can't do that, it is quite possibly dead.
Hi...I have a problem with my Rogers Xperia T with locked Boot loader, hoping someone might have had something similar and be able to help. I made a new thread due to so many types of Soft Brick and my problem being different than most.
My cell crashed randomly while using my phone weeks ago. Went to turn it back on and nothing but a flashing Red Light all the time when trying to turn the cell back on. I've spent countless hours reading all the suggestions on this forum,with no real luck yet.
After many attempts to fix my cell from all the great tips on this forum...like taking my phone apart to disconnect the battery,rubber band trick etc. Nothing has ever changed. It seems my cell is stuck in some type of Flash Mode Loop? I can get my cell to vibrate 1-3 times holding the buttons,but doesn't change anything.
When plugged into the charger or PC, my light goes from solid Red for a few minutes then solid Green. But the Green light only stays for a few seconds then it goes out,but it still stays in Flash Mode for a few minutes than back to the Red again,and keeps repeating this cycle. Making it very hard to Flash or Repair my phone due to Flash Mode never staying long enough to complete. But if I disconnect my battery than plug it into my PC I can Flash or use PC Companion successfully. But still doesn't change anything.
I just can't seem to get the phone out of this Loop to complete any type of battery recharge. If any one else has had this,any input would be greatly appreciated. I've spent weeks reading so many posts on the forum and internet about soft brick and nothing seems to work.
Thank You
I Had this problem too

Hi
I had this problem with my device in few days before and recover my phone and now he is works like a love song baby.
Your Situation: Soft/Reset without any vibrates with flashing red LED
You should know the "Battery Life Cycle" very good. but now i give u some steps to do:
Step1. Keep Calm and let your blood reach on your brain to think and analyze your each time situation.
Step2. Don't hit the Power Button in every situation anymore. this works makes damages on doing some future works-SO DON'T TOUCH POWER
Step3. Estimate the duration time from plug the wall charger to green LED. for example mine was 15 minutes.
Step4. Let the Battery Dies completely.
Step5. Plug the charger for half of "Step3" Estimate time. for example mine was 7 minutes.
Step6. Unplug the Chrager.
Step7. Plug the Charger for 10 minutes later after "Step6". between this 10 minutes, flash FTF file to be ready.
Step8. Do "Step5" to "Step7" for three times.
Why you should do these steps like this?
Because in flashmode level you need enough battery charge that's for in flashmode the usb cable do not send any electrical charge to device.
Step9. Bring your device to flashmode and flash your device ( [Vol-] + [Power] then LED should turns green

Thanks alot for the great tip. It worked enough to charge my cell long enough to flash my stock ftf :good: But unfortunately hasn't changed anything on my cell.
It seems that i have the same issue, my bootloader is locked and as i plug in the phone the LED gets green and sometimes red, but the battery never gets warm, also the Display wont do anything.
I think this can be happening becouse the Connector is Damaged or something similar..
But spending more money seems like a waste for me

Did you do anything to your phone to cause this? Mine just suddenly froze up and crashed with normal use one day? I've never dropped it or damaged my cell in anyway. I just don't get it
well... i bought it 2 weeks ago on ebay, as defective.
"only red led flashing" was the description, well, thruth is it had a huge fight with water, a long time ago.. many contacts were corrosive, the battery was molten at the contacts comming from within, the connector for the buttons/display was extreme corrosive.
I Cleaned it up and bought a new battery, hoping it would do the trick, but now im with this problem..
I think if i could get a cheap connector i would buy one just to try it.
Or another one on ebay.. just have to wait for one.
but say, did your battery get any higher temperature when its charged?

No the battery temperature stays the same,I can only charge my phone a very little bit.
Okay, thanks!
It showed sony logo the first time ever now 0o
I let it charge for ca. 30 min then the sony logo appeared but it stuck at it, so i wanted to reflash with sus but it wont accept the T..
Now i have a clue whats the error on my phone, the side buttons are oxidised and so pushed themself so they are pushed the whole time!
These tiny buttons are just ****ty..
When they are broken u need another connector, so thats my next step, maybe ur phone also has gettin often wet or something?
I would try without that connector an let the battery charge for some time, if your phone boots then u know whats up with it..
Hope u can understand what i mean.. My english isnt the best xD

That's great you made some progress. Did you do anything different this time when charging. Mine always does the same Red Light Green Light loop no matter what.
Can you get your cell to respond to the power button and volume down? or are your side buttons too damaged?
Do the rubber band trick to charge up your battery.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
Well.. the power button and the Vol- fell apart, and i lost the magnet inside, so i have to wait till i get a new cable untill i can test further...
Can take up to 2 weeks till i get one, getting something like that in austria is a very long story, i can only order it from Germany or somewhere else and that takes minimum 2 days or more.
The rubber band trick havent worked for me also.
Phone just Vibrated and restarted,vibrated and restarted,..
And my phone was alwas in Flashmode!

The Left Cable is for Buttons and Display, just unplug it from the mainboard.
Then try to Load it, if the LED stops switching, it could be the Reason.
and test if anything happens when the battery is plugged out, could be that your battery is also dead an thats why it cant get charged.
€ i played another hour with this "T"hing..
i am now wery certain that its the buttons, what causes the flipping between red/green.
But an question, how fast did your LED change color? does it change every second or did it hold for some minutes and change then?

My cell when plugged into the charger would first go Red for 5 minutes than change to Green for 1 minute than no light for about 3 minutes than back to Red again.

Some little news.. the new Cable with Buttons have arrived today, i installed it quickly, but it seems the phone havent changed it thougts abot starting...
When i just press the Power Button without USB cable plugged in, the Red led flashes 2 times.
If i push the power button and plugg it in for some time, it is a stable red light but the switching to green led and then red led starts again..
actually i plugged it in with pressed power button, LED stayed red for about 1h now.
now it switched to green, the phone vibrates, then the green led shows up for some secounds, then the LED dissapear, it vibrates again and then again green LED with no Display, it does this some minutes, than its again a stable red, for some minutes.
I let the rubber band all the time on the power button.
I tryed now to Flash the phone but i cant even get into Flashmode..
Without battery connected, i plugged in to the pc, it starts now to the Sony logo, but switches permanently between Flashmode and Sony logo.... WTF!!

I'm sorry to hear the new parts didn't help Doesn't make sense! I was hoping your new parts would have solved the problem. It's doing the same thing as mine...except I can't get to the Sony Logo.
Maybe drain the battery and try again...also what happens when you disconnect the battery and plug it into the computer or charger and plug the battery back in right away while still connected.

Now i havent done anything with the phone for some time..
If i had connected the battery while starting without battery, it goes the same way. Green led, red led, green led...
But now i buyed another phone with bricked display, i put the mainboard from this into the first one i bought and tryed to start with the battery i bought, result: doesnt work!!!
Red led goes on when connecting to charger but after 10 min it disapears and nothing happens, i can soft and hard reset the phone, but it wont start at all!!
then i tried the battery from the Display bricked phone and it goes very well
so my theory is, that the battery that i bought ist just dead, i hope i can have a refund for it...
I could try the good battery with the "dead" mainboard, but for now im happy, that i have one T running.
Maybe i could get my hands on another T, then i would try it again.
Just as side note, the "dead" battery, had 2,7v as i got it and has 3,2v after charging for an ! week ! with the "dead" mainboard.
I havent looked at the "good" battery, but i have looked at an battery from an "J" that was fully drained, it showed 3,4v
T battery is marked as 4,2v and J battery is marked also as 4.2v, so my conclusion is that the new battery i bought was a faulty one!!

Thanks a lot for your input. That's great after all you tried you finally have a working phone. I'm going to purchase a new battery and see what happens. It's a bit strange I had no signs of a weak battery. My battery lasted fine from day to day use? Defiantly worth a try. Thanks

It was really just the battery, the other mainboard now runs totally smooth!
Hope you can fix yours to!
Hi, i have an Atrix HD and its LCD got broken when it fell from 3 ft high.
The Glass is ok and the phone kept working for a while with a black triangle on top, the touchscreen kept working with no problems.
After a second fall from the bed the LCD went completely black, but the phone kept working (using a HDMI cable to check messages and touchscreen vibrating feedback kept working so i could answer calls).
I let the phone battery die and now it wont turn back on, the charging light turns on, when i plug it on a USB port on Windows i get a connected beep followed by a disconnection beep, as if the phone were detecting the LCD not working and turning itself off.
Is there a way to bypass that? i need to connect the phone to get the files from the internal storage.
I ordered a new LCD but will take a long time to arrive (normally 2-3 months, sometimes longer since a live in Brazil).

Yes, also tried turning it on with the charger on and hdmi on as well.
Ok, i tried using mythtools but it acts as if the phone is not connected, same as above, windows reacts as if i was connecting and disconnecting a flash drive so the phone has some response.
anybody has any idea on what i could do?
Ok, the screen arrived, i installed it, but seems to have the same problem
Can someone please help me out here, when i connect it to the charger, the green light comes on, and then off, is my phone dead?

I'm leaving it connected until the green light comes on continuously, after the post i saw that it was turning on and off in a period of minutes... Also i saw a old post of someone that had to charge for 3 days, monday ill check it again.
Another Thing, what you guys think i should use, Motorola original charger or LG G3 charger (1.8 mA).. ?

Always use what the phone brings on box as accessories. This case will be Moto original charger
Also by now you should be able to turn your device on. Just remove charger and re-plug again and try to turn your phone on

Also by now you should be able to turn your device on. Just remove charger and re-plug again and try to turn your phone on

The phone is in the charger for 3 days, now the light is not turning on again, when i hold down the power + vol down the green light blinks fast, i guess ill see if i can find a battery that is compatible to test, since the Atrix HD was not sold in Brazil, the Razr or Razr HD is right?

AHD and RHD batteries will work with the AHD. Remember, we do have the EB40 battery (RHD battery) mod that works with our device, and ours shipped with the EB20 (AHD battery).

Wow, i forgot the phone was there charging, after a week the alarm sounded, now it's turning on again, BUT the LCD is not, i tried disconnecting and connecting the lcd cable but did not solve it.
Another thing, after more than a week charging, only 17% charge, weird.
Maybe the LCD is not working? or the problem may be on the board.
I have this same issue. Except for the broken screen. My phone just stopped coming on. I did all the key combinations. Even opened it and removed the battery. Tested the voltage in the battery itself and it was fully charged. I tech on the Moto site told me it sounds to him like a LCD issue. I replaced the LCD and still nothing.
I plug my phone to the wall and get a green light for about 7 seconds or so. Then its off. A short time later,(couple min) it comes on again for a few seconds then off again. I plugged it to my PC and get the green light for the same seconds. The PC makes the chime that it would normally do when something is plugged into the USB. No changes done on the PC though. Doesn't try loading drivers or anything. After a few seconds, it chimes again and the green light goes out. Repeats about every 2 min.
Anyone found the issue?
Hi,
After many years of enjoying this magnificent phone the disaster came.
The phone discharged overnight and switched off. In the morning I had to send some texts, so plugged the wall charger into USB socked (a weak one ~500mA), after few moments a charging icon appeared and stated that battery has 1%. Ok, I really had to send those messages: I've pressed the power button and phone started to boot.
Sony logo: OK, purple wave, OK...
After 10-20 seconds it suddenly switched of, red LED started to blink.
I thought: OK, system startup needs a lot of power, maybe a charger is too week to keep up.
So I left phone for few more minutes to charge, but without success.
That was the last time I saw screen was on.
Phone is a C6903, running on a stock, rooted 14.6.A.1.236 with the recent XZRecovery.
Bootloader has been unlocked.
For the moment I've tried everything but opening back and doing the testport-trick.
When I connect the power only red led blinks (I left the phone charging overnight, no change).
When I try to enter flash mode: nothing happens but red blinking light.
When I try to start phone nothing happens at all.
But there is still hope:
I connected the phone to 2A charger using a magnetic cable.
Then I've connected normal USB cable to my PC, strange thing started to happen:
When I pressed volume Up (even after few minutes of connecting power+usb) the phone suddenly jumped to fastboot mode (blue led, it was discovered by PC, fastboot terminal was functional)
When I press power button, phone vibrates for a second, then the led pattern changes to: 1s red followed by 0.1s green, then long red, then it repeats...
I'm still unable to enter any recovery nor flashmode...
I'd really appreciate any help, have you got any ideas left how can I revive my phone?

Hi, this just happened to me, my phone has been dead for over 4 weeks with just the red led blinking. i tried the test point thing with no success at that point I gave up but last week i decided to get a new genuine battery and it worked it booted up. Your battery is just completely dead thats why it won't boot up!

Thanks for the info! I've ordered a replacement battery already.
I'll open my phone today and measure all voltages. I'll keep you updated.
Good luck

Yup! That was it (at least I think so, I don't have new battery yet)
The Al part of positive battery terminal was broken: I have no idea why, maybe because of age, oxidation and high currents that were drained from this LiPo cell...
Anyway I've managed to temporarily join two broken Al parts, kernel and recovery booted successfully.
Now I need to wait for a replacement battery.
Phone is alive again, thanks tilakpatel for help!
But the magnetic cable trick might be useful in other hardbrick cases: just connect magnetic charger, connect normal USB cable to PC and hold volUp. Phone should be able to enter fastboot even with completely drained battery...
