Dead phone, not charging (via multiple chargers and usb), no battery symbol. Not detected via compute, currently charging battery via external charger and still no luck.
Hello, so here is what happened.
Running PA 1.6a (the most recent CM9-based release), stock kernel.
Tried setting up multiple programs to make a swap partition work.
Had class10 microsd and wanted to try a swap disc (stupid idea I know)
Used swapper 2 and formatted mmcblk03/ according to instructions elsewhere
Found out that error message "this feature is not implemented" meant that the stock kernel didn't support swap.
mmcblk03 was formatted a few times since the "format each time" feature was enabled.
A swap file was created/removed a few times.
So I proceeded to un-install swapper 2.
Then held power button, clicked "turn off", then "boot into recovery". Battery was at 9% according to display.
Phone did not turn back on.
Stupidest portion right here- phone was at 15% battery, drained to 9 during process- I knew better and deserve the brick if it happened.
Now phone is not booting (great).
If it matters, I had some apps which bind SD card directories running, mainly to remount the sd card under sdcard/external_sd so play music would recognize my music.
But now the note isn't booting, or charging, no detection via comp. Tried multiple adapters, tried charging via computer.I have not yet tried adb, Currently charging up the battery via external charger, but have had the battery in there for about an hour so far and still no luck (hoping it will give the battery enough 'juice' to charge via another charger.
I was using an anker battery, and I have had a somewhat similar situation before- battery drains 100% and then phone will not charge, need to use external charger.
Really upset right now, especially since I ordered a 150 dollar display to attempt to fix a crack in the screen a week ago. Any advice? I know JTAG is possible but I wonder if this is a true hard brick or something else (since the CM9 kernel supposedly does not suffer from the emmc_cap_erase bug). I know for sure I selected ext3 for formatting and created that partition using CWM recovery when I formatted the SD card (for clarity this was previously, when I first got the card).
Do you guys think this may be a physical issue with the power button or something else? The phone was working quite well before that for the entire day. Thoughts?
