What do i do if phone won't turn on ^_^. It was turning on... but then shutting off mysteriosuly during boot... and during cwm... but now.. even after a battery pull.. and also plugged in... no power...will go to the phone?

What makes no sense was that it working fine.. till I edited an eri.xml file.... all I did was place it into /sdcard and /data .

- Can't get into bootloader
- Can't get into download mode
- Won't even show "charging" screen
- When I plug it into a computer, it does the OMAP4440 disconnect, reconnect shindig.
- Tried different batteries


After like 2 hours of research teh OMAP4440 is somehow related to the black screen of death... I mean just look at this:

device manager "omap4440"

I have no idea what to do............................ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I was just about to post that I'm in a similar situation.

I plugged mine in yesterday to charge it up and when I went back to check the phone was dead no life at all.

Mine is having similar issues, the led indicator is lighting and it's making noise but no screen lighting at all. I tried hard reboot. Everybody keeps prompting me to use command mode by pressing home, volume up and power button.,the trouble is my phone doesn't light up so I can't see the commands. I sent my first s7 edge back and I'm on the replacement and now it bricked

This particular forum is for a different galaxy phone than s7, but I do hope you solve the problem :)
