Phone won't turn on.

[Guest teniz]

The last few days, when i locked my phone it would turn off sometimes. It started to happen even more often and sometimes it wouldn't boot, only after a bunch of tries. But now it won't turn on anymore. It turns on, shows the white acer logo and then turns off. I can't even reach to the hard reset, only fast boot. What can i do? My warranty is reaching to the end, i want to send it to fix dead pixels, but it's rooted..

 

Help, please, im desperate.

I dont think. I had only xposed and gravitybox installed and also acer shell disabled, using yours statusbar. The last apps i installed was some games from the google store.

 

I can't enter recovery. How do i flash? I don't have ADT and i dont know where to find it.

Try this:

1. Install ADB and Fastboot executables if you haven't done so
2. Download this kernel
3. Power off phone
4. Hold VOL UP + Power to boot into fastboot
5. Connect phone to computer
6. Try to do a tethered boot: 

7. fastboot boot RECA005_Kernel_v1.img

8. If you see "RECA s005 Kernel v1" in the lower left corner your phone can succesfully boot the kernel. Then try to install it (while in Fastboot mode):

9. fastboot flash boot RECA005_Kernel_v1.img
   

You can also try to run a custom recovery and install a fresh ROM or try to explore your system partition with Filemanager:

1. Grab TWRP here
2. Power up in fastboot and type:

3. fastboot boot TWRP_2.5.0.0_S500_v1.3.img

4. Then try to install a ROM

wasnt it this as commands ?

fastboot -i 0x0502 boot *****.img 

 

(**** is the name of file)as

 the -i 0x0502 selects the USB Port/Driver for the Acer Fastboot mode.

 

atleast i used it this way always and also when i installed drivers on ubuntu i used those ports and such

[Guest teniz]

Thanks for the help, but can you just tell me how to proceed on this step? Sorry, newbie here.

What do i have to install? I'm running windows 8.

I use -i 0x0502 when more than one ADB device is connected. When you just have your S500 connected it is not nessecary to use the  -i 0x0502 switch

Thanks. I've tried the first suggest you made and it didn't work. Then the second one, this appeared and the cellphone went off.

Is there anyway to convert a zip into bin? if i send it to the warranty like it is, would they fix it?

[Guest Ivan69]

If the phone won't boot they'll be unable to understand if it's rooted or not... simply sent it for repair specifying "The phone doesn't boot and has dead pixels"
