KitKat update has turned my phone into a brick. It won't turn on, and I can't get it to take a charge. HELP!!

My phone went through the Kitkat update about a week ago, and since I've ran out of battery with in 8 hours of taking it off a full charge, and now today It died, and I plugged it in, well it won't charge, and i can't get it to turn on at all. My phone is a brick right now and I really just don't understand what I can't do to fix it. 

Don't do the update. My phone did the update and the droid laid on his back with an X and now all I get is the red logo. cant do a factory reboot or get into the ap menu just red logo. IT BRICKED MY PHONE I have had it since they came out and have been all over the world with it, and never had a problem until KITKAT BRICKED IT.
Verizon only response is to send me a refurbished phone that I will have to spend weeks to get it set back up to the way that I had it.
I am not happy with the response for their screw up. I don't want a refurbished phone I want my good phone to work and they don't know how to fix it just replace that is the support. I have seen the post on the net and I am not the only person that this has happened to in the android community.
If you want a good paper weight than do the update and take the chance.

    My iPad has turned off and i can't turn it on again even when I click on the turn on bottom and the iPad is charged

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 4 just turned off and I can't get it on..Does anybody know what to do?

    Hi guys,
    Today my iPhone 4 just turned off and I seem not to be able to turn it on again.
    I tried to reset it and I tried to get into DFU mode as well, but it doesn't work.
    My iPhone does not react on anything.
    Does anybody know what to do?
    Thanks in advance!

    This is not an accessories question. Please post in the most appropriate sub forum.

  • I updated my ipod touch to ios 5 and now it wont restore and i can't get anything back...need help please!

    I updated to IOS 5 tonight on my ipod touch 4th gen and now it won't restore.  I can't get it to restore from a backup either.  It either says "iTunes could not restore the iPod "____" because the backup session failed or i get error -50.  It appears all of my songs and apps are in iTunes, but I guess I don't know where to go from here to get things back to how I had them before.  Is there a way to access an early backup to try that? or am I going down the wrong path? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • HT1438 All of a sudden, my IPhone (3G) "turned off" and I can't get it to power back up.  I'm, therefore, reluctant to take the SIM card out to even check the serial number to contact tech support.  Any ideas?  Is there a reset button to try?

    All of a sudden my IPhone (3G, I think) "turned off" and won't power back up.  I know it's not the battery, but I have it plugged in anyway.  Any suggestions?

    Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for 15-20 seconds. You should see the Apple logo and it should re-boot.

  • Do you have any ideas on how I may resume my TV volume to full capability after disconnecting the HDMI cable and Macbook Pro to watch DVD's somehow my tv volume got turned down and I can't get it to restore fully. Any constructive ideas?

    I  used the HDMI cable from my Macbook Pro to my Panasonic TV to watch DVD's but I had no sound, so I used the community suggestion in going to system preferences>sound etc. followed the instructions and got great sound in fact very loud to my TV so I turned down the volume from my TV remote control. After watching the DVD's I disconnected the HDMI from my TV and realized for some reason my TV volume now is not returning to it's full volume even though I've tried to turn it to it's maximum. Any constructive assistance is truly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hey, it's a simple fix that should give most people what they want until there is full VZW support: the ability to use their card with the VZAM software.  I didn't see anyone else offering that suggestion...  If you don't want to use it, you don't have to.
    At the very least, this does seem to prove the theory that this is an issue with the 32/64bit compatability that some have refuted.

  • HT201401 since iSO 7.02 update bluetooth with my car is no longer working at all. also can no longer access my mail! the browser is turned off and I can not turn it back on!!!!!

    last week my phone was automatically updated after a trip to Europe, now I can no longer access gmail because the browser capability for cookies has been turned off and I can NOT get it back on. Before the trip bluetooth was on partially working with my car and now since the newest update works no more in any form. Anyone else having these problems? Need help!!

    As far as automatic update, the iOS cannot be updated without user intervention, so it could not have been automatically updated.
    You need to provide more information about your mail. Does this mean you cannot access the Mail app, you cannot download mail, or what? Not sure why you cannot access the cookies setting in Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Block Cookies>set to what  you want.
    Problems with 3rd party Bluetooth devices, such as car audio, etc., generally has to do with vehicle manufacturers not providing updates to match the current Bluetooth stacks that are found in today's phones. You can go into the phone and remove the pairing for the car, and then go into car settings and remove the iphone. Then put both devices back into pairing mode and attempt to connect them again.

  • What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

    What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

    I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

    Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!

    But you are telling me something I already know.
    Be precise.
    It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
    I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
    There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

    Hey p0507!
    Here is an article that addresses your error message, and can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
