[Q] Phone won't turn on! Vibrates and Green LED only

[lefty83]

morning guys/gals,

last night i put my phone to charge, woke up this morning and turned on the screen and it said "no sim card detected, reboot device". Now when I rebooted the device all I get is 5 vibrates and the green led light stays on. Screen stays blank!!. I tried battery pull several times, tried vol-down + power but all I get is the vibration with the screen off and the led on.

When I hook my phone to the laptop I can't access it via fastboot/adb, it shows up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. I tried forcing different drivers on it (e.g. adb composite, bootloader) but none let me access the device via cmd.

Now I got clockwork, running latest android revolution 2.0.8, device is radio-soff and eng-soff.

What am I to do now? Is there possibly a hardware fault? If I cant get to access to the device to restore it to stock, I'm going to struggle to get the device replaced, isnt it?

any help is very much appreciated!!!

What ROM were you running on it Prior to this happening?
was there any apps running in the background?

the Vol - + Power should get you into bootloader, if you cant get into bootloader I would be tempted to say fooked, and take it back to the shop as they wont be able to boot it either,, but thats the defeatist attitude...

it sounds like a h/w fault, i had a simlar problem on my classic desire, turned out it was the 3rd party battery i bought that was at fault, yours sounds diffrent though hope you sort it out

ok very strange, I was playing i around with the phone, now if I pull the battery and connect it to the usb cable the light went red instead of green and it automatically booted in clockworkmod (thanks to the "bug"). vol down + power didnt get me there so once I was in clockwork I thought let me wipe battery stats (eventho I wiped them when rom was freshly installed). I thought the device is unplugged but the green light stays on (after full charge), maybe battery issue. Now after wiping battery stats I'm able to boot the device again.

Thats weird but hey atleast my device is back on track. Either faulty battery or some software bug, either way if anyone experiences a similar issues (phone wont boot, just vibrates 5 times and green led), just pull battery, connect phone to usb cable on your laptop or wallcharge and clockwork should boot up, wipe battery stats and u should be fine

Hi

I had the same issue yesterday. After one hour of stress(I have DHD for 4 days), I finally find out solution which worked for me:

1.) pull out the battery from phone for at least 10 minutes.
2.) connect phone to the charger.
3.) pull battery to the phone and wait
4.) after orange light recovery should boot up.
5.) wipe battery stat.
6.) enjoy your phone again.

Hope this will help to somebody .

Thanks for your reply! this worked for me, allmost.
I did however had to press the Power button ONCE to start the phone.
- Plugged in charger, pulled in battery, (orange light was turned), then after 25 sec I pressed the Power button - and Voila! My Phone started as normal.

I diden't need to do any "Wipe battery status", but after reading about it I did it anyway. It was'nt necessery though in my case.

THanks a lot you guys for your replys! I thought for sure my phone was dead.
