If this mysteriously happened then your SIM card is probably toast. Can you boot into recovery? Have you tried another ROM?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston951:
same happend to me, i root the phone and install recovery, an on every single rom i had flashed i didn't had any connection, and there was no IMEI number
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renzy1973:
If it killed the SIM - try another one - that would quickly prove that theory (although I don't know if I would risk a SIM from an active phone, but if you know anyone who has a phone that died or if you are lucky and can get 10$ SIM cards for pay as you go with no activation fee - it's a cheap way to test and gives you a spare SIM if you ever need it...assuming you have unlocked as well as rooted your phone).

Sounds more like you installed a rom with an incompatible base band if you have no connectivity to your carrier anymore. If you flashed straight to an ICS or JB rom without either upgrading it through the LG app or manually flashing at the time - try it now. (it's not going to hurt it more than it already is, and these phones are tough)

And with my first post I am starting to realize how much I have been digging into what could go wrong so it doesn't go wrong before I tried anything. However if I am wrong, please let me know!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalelevose:
Hi there

I broke screen on my captivate (cm-10.1.2 ; usb debug mode was off)

I NEED the data that is on my phone.

I think the best way is to mount usb drive via recovery (clockworkmod)

I don't really remember menu items...

please someone (with same CM) tell me the key sequence how to get to - usb mount

like:

volume up + volume down + power (10 sec)

volume down x 5

Power

and so on.....

Please help.... I am in real need :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryankgrant:
Hey,

So if I'm understanding your post correctly,

Step 1: hold power button down until you feel the device vibrate twice.

Step 2: hold volume up+power for a few seconds (since your screen is broken, I'd hold it for like 5-10 seconds just to be sure)

Step 3: now, I counted the amount of times I pressed the volume down button and it was six until I got to MOUNTS AND STORAGE, but I'm on a galaxy s3 using the most recent CWM and it doesn't say specifically "USB MOUNT" but it does say MOUNT SD which is the same thing you're looking for. So I'm going to guess they are probably in the same spot.

Step 4: press volume down three time and hit the power button and that should get you mounted.

I'm going to apologize in advance if that doesn't work considering we are on two different devices but I ran captivate for two years and the muscle memory seems right to me.

If that doesn't work, couldn't you just connect your phone via USB to your computer? Doesn't that pull up all your files?

Anyways, good luck man.

I read in some topic before, I think it was about upgrading to rom 1.11 in this forum that if you try to go through the same procedure to upgrade rom it solves the problem. I am not sure how, so look for this in the first pages of topic related to the rom 1.11 or 1.06 I am not sure. Hope someone can help you better.

Hi all!

why do ROMS get broken and phones not startup when delete bloatware that we got preinstalled on the phone?

case in point - my friend recently rooted his phone.. the first thing he did was use Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps that came with his phone. That broke his phone and he cudnt boot it! (later he got it fixed by flashing the stock ROM again) But why does this sort of thing happen???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] antjefferson:
Hi all. In advance, please don't flame me. I am new to Android, and don't understand all of the technical jargon. I have a problem that I hope will be a simple fix - if there is an answer already on the forums perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I was given a Samsung S4 by a friend that works for Samsung. Apparently it was some kind of demo model or something - typically given out for promotional purposes (which may or may not be relevant). The phone is factory unlocked. It is running on the AT&T version of the firmware. Here is the "About Device" info:

Model #: Samsung-SGH-I337

Android version: 4.2.2

Baseband ver: I337UCUAMDB

Kernal ver: 3.4.0-440216

My problem: I cannot update firmware. I tried OTA and via Samsung Kies. When I try OTA, it searches for an update (and finds one available), but then says that the update was interrupted and I there is no update available - try again in 24 hours (GRRR!). When I try to update via Kies, it finds the update and goes through a lengthy download process. Once it begins to install it (my screen goes black and green characters flash on the screen - so apparently it is trying to install the new firmware) - it hangs. Eventually I get a message stating that the update failed (or something along those lines) and I need to do emergency recovery. When I start emergency recovery it just hangs....eventually I just restart the phone and it is right back to normal.

I have tried this process 6 or 7 times-no luck. I really want the recent update, which allows moving apps to SD. Again - I am new to Android-everything. I understand that I likely need to manually install a ROM package - if someone could point me toward some step by step directions I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help!

-TJ
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
To try to update more often, try moving the time and date of the phone ahead and try again. If you want to flash ROMS, don't update, because there is no bootloader unlock for it yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] antjefferson:
Thx for the reply...and for the tip about adjusting the date/time. :good: I am fine with the stock AT&T ROM - but for whatever reason, my phone simply will not update. I tried resetting it - still no dice. If anyone could help me to reinstall the stock or newer AT&T rom manually, I think that would be ideal. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
I don't know much about this, but maybe you could flash the stock AT&T firmware again via ODIN. It's basically "unooting" the device, even though your device isn't rooted. it'll wipe all your data and reinstall everything again. I did this often on my S3 but I'm not sure if it's the same for the S4. Maybe someone else would know better because I don't know the .tar files needed for unrooting the S4. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
I'm not flaming you, I am giving you advice that will help you. Try to use the search function to find answers before posting a question that has already been posted several times. It is possible, the help you need has already been posted in those other threads several times. Also, did you see "similar" threads appear while you were posting your question? Take the time to read those first. It couldn't be easier because they are listed for you. You should also read the "pinned" threads in the "general" section. There is a lot of information there that will help you understand things, if you take the time to read it. If you don't understand the "technical jargon" take some time to learn about it before you do anything to your phone or you are guaranteed to mess it up. If you really don't want future flaming, follow the XDA rules and search for answers first. Good luck.

[My device is a Sprint Galaxy S III, unrooted on STOCK 4.1 (with multi-view)]

So the previous night I plugged my phone into the charger as normal and went to bed. Strangely, when I woke up, my phone was turned off. Curious, I went to turn it back on and waited for it to boot back up, only to have it freeze up in the middle of opening an app. I wasn't worried at this point, but after a battery reseating and restart, it happened again. This time, it froze up on the 'Galaxy S III' boot logo. I tried multiple times to restart, swapping batteries, waiting, and managed somehow to get it to recovery mode. There, I managed to wipe cache and attempt to restart the phone once more. Nothing--it was still frozen on the boot logo. After waiting a while, I tried to get it back into recovery mode, popping out the battery whenever it froze. To my horror, this time, pressing and holding the power button did not get a response from the device.

Mind you in my (roughly) year's worth of time with this phone, I had never dropped it or subjected it to any form of shock or damage. Seriously--the phone looks out-of-the-box-brand-new.

Now the device is bricked(?) I'm thinking it's some sort of hardware defect, but I'm confused because it happened out of nowhere--simply overnight. Nothing I do seems to elicit a response from it and I even tried swapping in a freshly charged battery.

I really don't care about most of the data on the internal storage (cloud sync ftw!) but there are a ton of photos inside that I would give anything to save. Is there any way I could save them? I'd appreciate any input!

TL;DR: Out of nowhere, my 1yr old GSIII suddenly started acting strange and after some troubleshooting bricked itself. Need photos on internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Can you get Into download mode? If so you can just Odin it back to stock, but it will wipe everything on internal storage.

BEFORE YOU DO THAT, I know [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] knows some commands in adb that can probably save your photos on the internal storage. Let me see if I can find them real quick or he might see this thread first..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
You haxor, why you mention my name, I had no choice but to show up...

[MENTION=4517316]cytark[/MENTION]

The following commands will pull all the pictures from your internal storage (connect phone to computer and make sure you are in the same directory as the adb.exe folder)

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM camera <press Enter and then wait..>
adb pull /sdcard/Pictures pictures <press Enter and then wait...>

Also, was your phone rooted? Because if the above doesn't work, then we can still get your stuff for you if you can get into recovery

Note: The phone is only truly bricked if it shows "QHSUSB_DLOAD" when you connect it to the computer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cytark:
My phone actually won't even go into download mode. It stays off no matter what I press. Will the adb commands still work?

Additionally, my phone is not rooted.

EDIT: Actually, upon plugging my phone into my PC, it says exactly that. QQ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well yes it is a general term, but people tend to use it loosely with meaning that the phone won't go into the OS for whatever reason. When you overwrite the bootloader, that's when you have a brick. Either that or the kernel is so messed up that it fries your EMMC. On these phones when the bootloader is overwritten it will show as QHSUSB_DLOAD when connected to a computer.

Can you try connecting it to your computer and seeing what pops up? If it shows up at all, it may still be possible to recover it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cytark:
I see.

"QHSUSB_DLOAD - No driver found" comes up as a driver installation failure message.

Similar issues

I had a similar issue with my phone today. I'm mostly posting to show that this isn't an isolated incident, since I have insurance and can get my phone replaced, but any suggestions for fixing it would be very welcome.

My phone is a year old Sprint SGS3 running CM10.0 or so, stock battery with plenty of juice, haven't flashed anything or even booted into recovery in quite a while, no new apps for a week or so, no recent battery pulls, no usage out of the ordinary.

The phone died in my pocket, and upon trying to boot it would display the SAMSUNG screen for ~0.5 seconds, then display the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen for ~0.2 seconds before dying. It did not bootloop, but remained off. Similar behavior was exhibited when trying to boot into recovery and download mode:

When booting into recovery, the SAMSUNG screen with the recovery overlay would display for ~0.5 seconds, then the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen would come up for ~0.2 seconds before it died.

When booting into download mode, the SAMSUNG screen came up for ~0.5 seconds, then the warning about running custom ROMs came up. If I was quick, I could press volume up to start going into download mode, but it would still die almost immediately either way.

When plugged into a USB cable attached to a laptop or power, the battery icon would come up with the loading circle for ~0.5 s, then it would die. If plugged in with the battery removed, the right indicator light would come on and it would vibrate, but the screen would not turn on.

After booting over and over for some time, it will no longer respond in any fashion, except when plugged in with the battery removed as described directly above. I suspect the battery has died, and cannot be charged because the phone crashes before charging begins.

Any thoughts on how to fix it, or ways to revert back to stock when the phone won't stay on for more than 2 seconds?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That is The Sudden death Syndrome. Your power button has failed. It is messed up internally. This is a known issue with the S3. You can try blowing some air in the power button area and jiggling it around to get a temporarily working. But they do replace it for this condition.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CogDancer:
That sounds very plausible. I noticed some irregularities with the power button as well, but didn't think they were worth mentioning. When you say "they", do you mean Samsung? Or someone else?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xshellshock:
Do you know if they will replace the phone past the standard warranty? I'm out of warranty by only a few days. I figured I had a problem with my battery so I bought a new one to test before I found the power button to have failed. I'm going to be heading back over in a few minutes to return the battery kit, and hopefully they will replace my phone without making me go through insurance.
