Hi brainstrust,
Big fan of the site, long time reader, first time poster.
In early May I purchased my H860. It's worked very well for me since then, the only gripe being a lack of rootability. I figured the silver lining to this would be that it would be more difficult to mess up something important and cause the phone to brick. Unfortunately, that hasn't proven to be the case.
Last night, I attempted to unlock my phone. It wouldn't respond to either touching or pressing the fingerprint sensor / power button. I hadn't been doing anything with it earlier that night, it had probably been sitting on a bench for an hour or so idle. Assuming that the batteries were flat, I plugged it in to charge. It immediately showed the "LG Life's Good Powered by Android" splash screen, which stayed on for about 10 seconds. The screen then went blank for a second or two, and the splash screen came back again. This cycle repeated itself till the battery was pulled.
I have tried leaving the phone to charge overnight, assuming that perhaps the battery is so deeply discharged that it doesn't even have the juice necessary to turn on. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to charge the battery without the phone automatically turning on. It's unclear whether this is an issue with the phone's software or with the battery not charging. I have attempted various button combinations to get into recovery mode but I have been unable to do so. By holding the up volume button while plugging the phone into a PC I was able to get into download mode, but then the rebooting cycle began again after about 20 seconds.
I have the option of sending it back to my retailer however I will be without the phone for at least 2 weeks. If you guys have any ideas, I'd be very grateful to hear them.
