Thanks! - fixed my phone

...next time just press n hold the camera button then the power button too - should boot then :)

Thanks Mate, I was worried there for a moment,

nothing else would get my phone to start - now though that is the ONLY thing that will start the phone!

if I power up and choose restart, it turns off and only camera+power turns it on
tried vol.down+power for fastboot, nothing happened, and camera+power wouldn't work after that, had to pull battery, then use camera+power.

now i'm worried again - is it hardware failing or recovery image problem (as hellescape claims) ?

This happened to me.
1. take out battery
2. hold down the power button for 15sec with battery out.
3. place battery back in phone and put the back on.
4. try to turn on. If it doesn't turn on try a different charger (this worked for me a few times. this worke dfor me a few times i remember back on at&t when i had the slider windows phone htc 8250 i think it needed a charger with more amperage to start the charge.)
5. If the above doesn't work maybe take it in to sprint if you have the warranty.

Thanks! this worked for me.

couldnt be more correct

your battery is completely discharged. find another battery or buy a docking external charger to charge your battery bro. Been throuhg the same thing

I had this issue a while back letting my phone be off the charger for too long. When the battery dies cause of overuse, the phone wont recognize that there is a battery in it cause there is no electricity running through the phone. You may have to find an external charger to charge you battery, or removing your battery for 10+ seconds should allow it to build up enough amps to push enough amperage through so the wall charger can reach the battery.

And my phone won't turn on, charge or connect to pc and the volume - and power won't do nothing

I had the same problem, left it plugged in for awhile. Then I held the camera button like j4n87 suggested and it booted. Don't know if the 3d switch position makes a difference. Thanks for your help guys. :)

best answer!!

and yes .. 3d does effect .. u need to switch it to 2d > hold camera button > and press power button ..

cheers mate!

Thanks for it.

But why does this happen? Is there any way to avoid that this happens again?

My phone is s-off, rooted and I use KingCobra3D-ICS 1.2 ROM

Your battery got to low I.believe idk if you have the 2.17firmware installed but one of the updates was supposed to stop it from doing that I think

    Plug in the charger and hold the camera button, volume up button and volume down button, then hold the power button. This will be like telling your phone the battery was just pulled and replaced and should re initiate charging

    Tuesday night, I was charging my phone and I left it alone for probably 30 minutes. I checked it, pressed the power button, and it didn't turn on! Today is day 3 of my phone not working. No, it is not rooted. My screen is cracked if that matters. It used to restart it a lot.

    Yes, I've tried pulling the battery multiple times. Hard reset won't work either. I've tried volume down + power button, both volume buttons + power, even the camera button + power, charging with the computer, using different USB cords, and it still won't turn on. I took the battery and SD card out, waited 30 minutes.. put it back in, no luck.

    Could it be a battery problem? Will a new battery fix it? Is it a hardware problem? If I need to replace it, could the Sprint store still retrieve my text messages and contacts? :( I hate not having a working phone and Christmas is coming up.
