Ok so I was trying to unlock a Blue Angel I just got and somehow I think I may have bricked the device. It won't wake up from grey screen. When I plug it into the computer the red light comes on. I can't seem to get to the bootloader screen though. MTTY won't work because I cant get to the bootloader screen and no reset is working. Any ideas whats wrong or some possible solution??? I doubt I'm the first one to have had this problem, but google searching has gotten me NO answers.
OK remove battery for at least an hour from the device, and charge it separately in the cradle, after that try the bootloader MTTY method
also it would be helpful to know what did you do to come to this situation
i can gladly tell you i had the same situation with mine and solved it. as xplode says, after carging the battery seperately and trying over and over again i finally got back to bootloader mode as there was no rom on the device anyway as the flashing process canceled with the vista bug, of which by the time i did not know. the red led is generally not that good of a sign and i understand you are shocked, but it can be solved, so don't be!
[semi off topic]
One Quick Note(should find this in the manual, i think, i lost my manual):
if your BA is showing RED led other than ORANGE or LimeGREEN led WHILE CHARGING. it has a problem regarding the battery not charging or the charger not giving enough output.
or we could always say... it's in the wiki, or faq

Im telling you It's not DEAD! Lol... and tell us if it's OK now. OK?

Post moved.
I don't think you have a brick, and you definitely need to settle down. As long as you didn't flash a G4 IPL/SPL you should be OK.
1) Make sure you battery is installed correctly.
2) Hold down the power button for a couple of seconds before releasing it.
3) Try another battery.
Or take out the battery for like half an hour and then plug it back in
Good luck
thanks guys.i hope its work
but like anchilious did.i put another ohine without the battery.splash screen is goin on an off.but i i put the dead phone phone.nothing is happening.not even red light.but charging point is keep heating.its getting warm.help me plz
I've just got my phone repaired 2 days ago due to same problem and its dead again. It's showing me 4 colours bars, unable to boot or switch off. Please see attached photo.
Technician Notes on the Service Repair Job Card says " Reconnected Flexes, Loaded New Software and Passed all tests."
Whatever Flexes means? Hardware circuit board problem? Anybody knows whats that?
Its going to be another 2-3 weeks wait for Three Sydney to repair it....sigh....
I'm unable to find similar reported problem online. Anyone, please advice. It died when it shows nothing on the screen with blinking green light. I've not done any flashing or mod of any kind, its a 4 month old phone.
the flexes are what connects the screen/other hardware on the sliding face to the main board on the part that does not slide. Seems like your kaiser is putting itsself into bootloader for some reason. if you have knowledge of mtty maybe running some mtty commands would tell us more of why it seems to like to erase its on memory lol... there is a whole section in the wiki on mtty and I thread I believe also try contacting POF or OLI they have vast knowledge about the works of the kaiser
Thanks for the tips austinsnyc, after leaving it on with the bootloader screen for the whole night until it drain the batt completely, I was able to boot up again while charging.
I'm still interested to know why would it suddenly just go to bootloader screen, i'll read up on mtty.
Cheers,
JK
lol, you might have been fine if you just did a soft reset. but still that doesnt solve the issue of why it went into bootloader in the first place
Thanks for reminding about the soft reset, I tried that when it happen for the very first time I had this problem. That didn't help either and I had to send in for repair.
Whats the purpose of the bootloader anyway? In what situation would it appear normally?
you can manually place your device into bootloader by holding the camera button and then reset. a device going into bootloader out of the blue is usually never a good thing........unless maybe there was a situation where the camera button was somehow held down while your device restarted.
hi guys,
i hope i can bring to life my breeze again. i flashed my device with the futureshock rom. all works fine but the simlock was inside the breeze. i read a lot about sim unlock but have had no success. some day a guy told me that he want to try to unlock it. he flash a hsdpl (i don't know which one) and after this the brezze don't want to boot again. no tricolor (push on/off with camera buttom). my activesync got no connection. my device manager can not indicate the breeze when i conect it with the usb cable.
do i have a chance to get runnig it again?
thanks a lot
stagger
has anybody an idea, or suggestion? or is it damaged? unfortunatelly i dont know which version of spl he has install.
thanks

Sounds like a death battery to me...
Try charging for one hour.., Then try to turn it on..
I don't think it does mathers if your phone is locked...,
Let me know the result
it charged my battery over 2h. nothing ....i can not turn on my breeze. the first minute i got a red charging light. like everything is ok.
i got no connection with my xp pc and active sync. the device manager can not detect the breeze. so i can not install any other boot program
any other ideas?
thanks
I had the same problem, it was hardware related though.
There are two little metal contacts that ground the battery cover, well one of them slipped though a little and was shorting pins on the motherboard. So fortunately nothing blew and it just was not turned on.
So obviously there is some form of protection from shorts that it will not power on.
Anyway check if it will turn on if only the motherboard, LCD and battery is plugged, without housing or anything else. Be sure that the back of the battery does not get into contact with the MB if you are going to try.
Good luck, hope you get it fixed..
Hi there i would like to ask that my kaiser is now on red light instead of Orange , is this normal ? please guide me through thanks .

It's not, have you ever considered trying another battery maybe brand new?. Also, 2 threads above yours are some solutions. This has been addressed before, a quick search could give you a lot of answers
just worry this may spoil mine -.- kinda worry.

my light goes red when on real low battery life
but...
when i charge it goes normal
P.S: my kaiser works fine
but when my kaiser on charge is RED it will not go Orange or green for a long time or long hours of charge.
Some people have called that the kaiser red led of death, I did alot of googleing when it happened and found someone fixed theirs by plugging it into the charger, then repeatetly removing the battery on the contacts like 10 times, and the light switched from red to orange.
I tried that myself, as my kaiser wouldn't turn on at all and when plugged in only have a red light, I ordered two different kinds of batteries and they didn't work, and cleaned the contacts for the battery, but this did work for me, it turned on and I recovered all my data.
BUT BE WARNED! when I read it, it sounded crazy, and I was not interested, until i was convinced my phone was dead regardless, after recovering it I did experiance some weaker signal though, but it did turn on again, which was better than before, a nice paperweight

Good to know that you solved your problem and also for telling us the magic word "googling it" = search...
but mine cant solve , thats why helps is needed .
Hello xda, I just want to ask what did happen to my G1, I'm just using it ordinarily everyday but a few days ago something happen, it cannot boot but only led lights flashing, I can't even reach the recovery or bootloader, is this a hardbrick or something? I'm using a froyo rom I forgot what rom it was and I also using the right radio and SPL combo required for that but I don't know what happen, It just can't boot. Help please.
Is it just blue led? If so then yes its bricked and you need JTAG, if not you may be OK, but as to what happened that's hard to say
May be a battery issue but with LEDs flashing less likely, try to get a PC to recognize, try charging over night and testing with PC again, try booting without SD or sim, try any button combo you can
no not blue

hello demkantor, the led light wan not blue it was like a pink? or something like that, I've tried home+power button no use, camera+power button still no use, really can't boot only led flash, that's all, is there any way I could save my G1? please help, thanks
Can you get a PC to recognize it and are you able to get a new battery?
I dunno the problem

Hello again dem, since my phone can't boot, my laptop can't recognize it, and I'm confident enough to say that my bat. don't have any problem, I do have a universal charger and my battery are charging using it, one strange thing, I also have a cabled charger for my G1 which has a led light as well, I've tried charging it using that and the led light of my charger are blinking which means it is charging but the led light of my G1 was not blinking, I really don't know what happened to my G1, I hope you could give me some help, any way I tried to search for what JTAG is, but I think I can't do it since I don't have any ideas when regards to the hardware aspect of android, I'm even a noob on software aspect of adroid devices.
P.S.
I forgot to say this, sometimes another strange thing happen on my G1, whenever I try some button combo to reach either recovery or bootloader, my buttons and keyboards have lights but my screen is totally blocked out.
Sorry to say but I'm thinking your motherboard is shot. Send me a pm when you get a min. May be able to help you out

hi again dem, I don't think its on the battery, call me crazy or anything but still remember N70? I have one, though their battery differs in size yet their gold energy conductor or whatever they call it is just the same. Since the battery of the G1 are easily drained I need to have two battery but since I'm from Philippines I have hard time looking for battery of my G1 that's the reason why I used my N70 battery on it as a backup whenever my G1 runs out of its juice. Before I can successfully use my N70 battery ( I just place a paper or anything on its side and lower portion to make the fit right) but since the problem on my G1 occurred even my N70 battery are useless and unusable because it still don't boot. I know my problem is a weird one but I'm looking for a way to recover it without modifying or replacing its hardware. Don't have money for it. Hope you could help me with this. thanks.
P.S.
I never run any problem before using my N70 phone, its maybe because they have the same voltage which 3.7 the thing is their capacity. For you to believe me I attached here the photo of my G1
