So i flashed the AOSP Gingerbread the new one, I then flashed GAPPS booted it up and it came fine, my phone was un-activated so I couldnt get past the email sign in, so i pulled the battery and now it wont turn on when i hold down the power button, the battery was empty but i was doing all this with it connected to a charger and also not only that the charger cord is broken a bit it works and charges just the wiring is coming out a bit, Did the cord break or the hero? It wont turn on,No green light for charging
Note:It was getting bars from Sprint even though it wasent activated, its a retired phone, could sprint do anything to turn it off
PS: anyone know how to tell if a hero is bricked?
Usually as long as you see the red its not bricked. And usually the only way to brick a hero that I know of is to flash the wrong radio. Let your phone charge over night and try it when the green light comes on. Hope this helps good luck.

I searched and searched. I was reflashing my AT&T tilt on a tmobile net, using the memory card method. I am not exactly sure what i did wrong. I flashed it once tonight and didnt like it even though it worked fine. I flashed it again and when I did the soft reset I think i took the memory card out to soon. Now the phone will not turn on at all. I love this phone, someone please help a brother out
Hard SPL
If I recall correctly, unless you were flashing the SPL, you just need to re-attempt the flash by engaging Hard SPL again.
It's been forever... but I seem to recall that with Hard SPL, you can always recover, unless you are in the middle of re-writing / overwriting SPL.
Erbid
(Tell us you do have Hard SPL installed.)
I cant get the thing to turn on at all I think I have tried every thing. I have flashed twice before without problem. But it just wont turn on now. I guess what im trying to say is I believe hard spl is on it. I ran boot loader from the phone using camera and soft reset. I accomplished the task once already and loaded the newest hyperdragon and didnt like it so about 10 minuts later i did the same thing and tried to install an old dutty one and the phone will not turn on. I loaded every thing and then reset. I think i may have pulled the memory card to early because i dont remember the phone saying it was clearing storage or coming back on. Sorry if this seems longwinded.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is the battery fully charged? Try charging for a few hours - check that the charge light is on etc. Normally with a bad flash, even if the phone is completely bricked, you will see something try to light up or go brighter on the screen - unless the battery is dead or the screen ribbon disconnected.
It worries me a bit that you 'think' you have hardspl. Either you do or you don't. The process is simple enough to do but has enough steps that you'd definately remember doing it.
Ok, so I think you are sorta right. I put a fully charged bat into the phone but still nothing coming on. Turns out the old battery was dead though. Strange considering it was being charged all day while in the car. phone still wont turn on. anyone know if there is someone who fixes these?

okay the phone isn't turning on but are there any led's lit up? (red, green, orange??) because that indicates there is still life in the phone and recovery is possible. This can be when you turn it on or on charge etc.
Very unlikely you bricked it. More likely a problem with the battery or charger not charging the battery.
When you plug the charger into the phone does a yellow light appear at the top to indicate the unit is charging? If not you have a faulty charger.
Can you get into the BootLoader screen? Try the following:
> Take you battery, sim card (re-lock the cover after taking it out) and storage card out
> make sure all contacts on the battery are clean and replace it
> Hold the camera button in fully and then press the power button for a few seconds (the Bootloader screen should appear)
If the Bootloader screen comes up then read the 2nd line down which starts SPL and report back with the version.
If no Bootloader screen appears then take the Battery out and plug the charging cable into the phone. Then with the battery still taken out, try to get back into the Bootloader screen by holding the camera button in while pressing the power button.
If that gets you into the Bootloader then then problem is with your battery.
If the phone still does not go into the Bootloader screen the problem is most likely with your charger.
thanx, i have since bought another tilt. I put the old battery in the new tilt and it was dead. I put the fresh battery in the old tilt and nothing yet. I didn't try the bootloader yet. I did try charging the phone on the old battery though and no lights what so ever. even with new battery on charger. I will get back to you on the bootloader trick
Bootloader trick didnt work. Thank you though. Looks as if I now have a parts phone that My wife hates me for.

Have you tried the charger from your new tilt in the phone that doesnt work? If you connect the charger then the charging light should come on at the top. If thats not happening but it works on your new tilt then the problem lies in the phone. You can try checking contacts and connections but if you have no life after swapping bits over from your new tilt to the old one then ur pretty much buggered. Can you not send it back as faulty or is it out of warranty?
No warranty. I bought it used. Im on Tmobile. Thank you for everything though. I did try the new charger and got nothing.
I restarted my phone this morning because it was going really slow. so after I restarted my phone like I always do, it stayed at the ericsson splash screen and won't go past that. So then as many ideas come to mind, I tried reinstalling my rom (CHT WM 6.5, which i'm willing to share the link and all that for those who wants it), after it finished installing, it just stayed at the gray screen and did nothing. so after that, I tried HARDspl it once more to see if that was the issue. Tried it, but nothing happened. so once again I turned off my phone and then tried to turn it on. here's the funny part. I can't even turn my phone on anymore and I don't know why. I tried pluging it in to the charger, the lights didn't even go on....
I think I bricked my x1.
PLEASE HELP !!!! I DON"T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
I've only had this phone for a month, and there's already been so many problems with it. It's a big request, but I really would ask if someone can teach me how to reverse and fix my problem.
I would suggest you to charge your battery for a night, then reflash with a stock rom using Micro SD method to start everything again
try a hard reset ..
Guys
I've tried both methods, and my phone still has no reaction.
right now I have my phone right beside me. the red light is still on even though my battery is in.
What other things could I do?

As stated, recharge the phone overnight and see if it doesn't turn on in the morning.
I've tried that but then it still doesn't work. I used the orginial charger + usb to charge last night ( directly plugged in to the wall socket, not through a power bar or anything like that ). when I woke up this morning, I tried turning on the phone and it still doesn't turn on. but then when I plug it into my computer, the red light turns on at the power button. the computer still can't recognize my phone as a valid device.
does that mean I have to give up to send my phone back to sony to be fixed??
should I just give up and send it back to sony to get it fixed?
I even called into to sony to ask for help...when I asked about the software, they just said send it back in to let their "professional" technicans to look at it.
I broke the screen on my old w810i and it costed me 80 dollars to fix...I only wonder how much it'd cost them to replace my battery and reset the software...
This is a very sad day for another very big sony ericsson fan....
Your phone probably ran out of battery, or at least that's what the red light means.
This is what I did before - remove the battery, then plug the phone in directly into the wall charger, and then slap the battery back in and wait for about 10 minutes. Usually the USB (computer) doesn't charge enough for it the wake.
i've tried doing that too.
generally I charge my phone through the wall charger.
and the whole time i've been trying to solve this issue i've kept only using the wall plugins to charge my phone.
i'm guessing as well as you are that my phone's probably out of battery + maybe the battery is unbalanced as well.
i think the main issue above the power not working is some how one of the .nbh that i have tried is corrupted. as far as my wm + computer knowledge goes, I don't have much of a clue how to back track to fix the software issues.
hi all..
first of all, it's -for sure- runing out of battery.. it has to be charged anyway..
I had your issue before with my old universal -JasJar-,, it had a red light all the time.. trying to turn on.. even after a time in charger,, still dosent make a sence !!
after all my searchs I tryid another battery from a shop- just for testing the devieces in there.. and..guess what ..
it just worked out !!
just try another battery..
it might-i'm not sure- that both our issues were related to the- the internal backup device battery- by someway making all of this when the main battery is out of order !! ..
waiting for your sucessfull results then
that's great to hear. I'll definitely update everyone on that battery issue as soon as I can get into a store to get a battery test.
SO, here's another thing, IF by any chance my phone turns on, what in the world could I do to get my phone to not "malfunctioned" anymore? would I just do a full reset on it and everything should be alright again? by full reset i mean pressing the soft reset button and the two silver buttons in front of the phone.
If it does turn on again, let it fully charge before you try to flash another ROM onto it. I'd probably flash the R3 ROM before I'd switch it to anything else, just to be sure that the phone is fully operational.
thanks for the advice. i'll definitely keep that in mind when I am about to do anything with the phone again.
hey everyone! I just got to a rogers store today about my x1.
so here's what will happen.
they'll send me a brand new x1 in about 3 to 5 business days. in return, i'll have to send the phone that I have had back to them so that they can see if it can be fixed or not (which i have strong confidence that they can't).
if it can be fixed, they'll tell me how much it cost.
if i pay for that cost, then i can keep my new phone. if I don't want to pay that cost, then i'll have to send that brand new x1 back to them.
I'm praying hard that they won't be able to fix that phone so I can keep the new one for free!!!!!
finally the x1 arrived!!!!!
so now hopefully it will stay working and then rogers won't charge me for the new replacement that they sent me!!!
new here, hopefully not posting a duplicated post before...
i purchased my hero200 cdma in china...
it said that its a modified version (supporting sim card...)
actually i dunno much about that....
i fresh it by a modified rom that build from aosp0523 from here:
(Sorry for this is a Chinese thread)
www[dot]apktown[dot]com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=817&extra=page%3D1%26filter%3Dtypeid%26typeid%3D18%26typeid%3D18
it works totally fine until last night, i was chatting with a friend in whatsapp
and try to recording my voice and send to him....
in the progress in sending him the voicemsg, the whole phone suddenly blackout
after all, it wont boot at all. At that time, i discovered that the battery is quite hot, i dunno whether it matters.
by chance, it might vibrate few times and the LED at left upper corner keep flashing green light. and also, by pressing the +volume button in the mean time while i plugging the power adapter in the phone, it vibrates 3 times.
no matter what, it just wont boot in, not even recovery nor htc logo...
any suggestions?
This happens to me sometimes. The excess heat makes the battery discharge at a very rapid rate. Try this: unplug the charger and remove the battery for at least 1 minute. Then put it back together and if the red charging light comes on like it should, let it charge for a bit before you power it on. Then boot like normal, all your data should still be intact.
Good luck
Sent from my HERO CDMA using xda premium
doesnt seem working....
i separated the battery from the phone, rest for the whole night.
then i use the battery, plug the power for ~7mins..
and it stills got nth....
can you still boot the device when before the cooling?
I plug it in the charger and the light blinks.. So I know it works.
And also the buttons on the phone vibrate..
This happened before. And I started pressing all the buttons on my phone.. and it turned back on luckily.
But now this time it wont turn back on..
Is there any method that can help me fix this.
Thank you
sorry for the bump.. But can anyone help me please? I slept with it in my pocket and I woke up.. And this is what happened..
Havent got to use my phone all day.
Orange light comes on and everything. Its just I cant get the screen to turn on..
I am not sure if it will work but try taking your battery out for 5-10 minutes and see if it comes back on.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Almost the same problem
I have almost the same problem, except it does NOT flash the orange charge light, at all. The buttons don't vibrate, at all, the screen stays black, it doesn't turn on or anything. It doesn't even connect to the computer when I plug in a USB cord, that I know works. I don't believe it's bricked because I have done nothing to brick it. One day, I was using Xbox smartglasses, I finished and locked the phone back, a bit later I tried to unlock it but it wouldn't unlock, turn on or anything. I'm fairly certain is wasn't dead because I had just charged it the night before and had not had it turned on, and the battery was over 95%. Does anyone know anything that might help? :/
ok so i know what im doing and pretty sure i know what happened hehe well my phone started acting up and no one could hear me on otherside so i flashed back to arhd 52 and it booted up fine i restored to original firmware for 52 everything was fine besides mic quality . so i blew in their and dug around with a paper clip in little hole next to usb port never stuck it in usb port. just tiny mic hole . Fixed it my phone was working perfectly
call quality and everything was tired so went to bed and figured id restore today. well when i woke up to my suprise my phone as blinking red with screen off power button just brought up a screen with empty battery symbol and lightning bolt in middle with red led flashing at top left. phone will not respond no bootloader nothing. i did get it to bootloader and recovery twrp a couple times but it just restarted both bootloader and recovery before i could do anything. im pretty sure my battery crapped out or i messed something up with the paper clip inside but i doubt that as i just put it in mic i think battery is DONE and im gonna have to get a new phone. pretty sad since when do batteries only last a year ? oh well got 70 days warranty left just didnt want to lose my stuff if you guys know how to fix this problem of phone not holding charge being able to do anything but show me blank battery and red flashing light. your help will be greatly appreciated. i can have replacement tuesday and have 14 days to send mine in but i would like to get my files off and apps if possible why do i have to have such bad luck lol i had to send this one in 3 times to get camera fixed just to have this happen ?

did you try plugging it into the charger? (you didnt mention that you tried charging it). Plug it in, wait 10 minutes and see if the red light goes on. If it does, leave it plugged in.
Since you cant do anything with it anyways, just let it sit on the charger for a couple of days to be honest. Ive heard of people having issues where their phone completely dies and then it randomly starts up again after a couple of days on the charger.
Also, did you happen to drop it when the issue occured?

didnt drop it. mic started making noise tried an older rom to see if it was the mic itself or hardware. it was mic. so i left phone alone left it on put on charger when i woke up flashing red light wouldnt boot. i have roms on their i can re flash im guessing something went wrong with the rom i flashed after i set phone down for night. or my other theory is when i was trying to get mic to work which i did i broke something lose inside that goes from usb to battery ? is that possible i did stick a paper clip in the mic hole only ? hope it wasnt me they might make me pay for that vs if battery crapped out i should get a free one as im under a year
so far after a day it will do nothing but flash red light and show empty battery
i am able to boot into bootloader or recovery for a second but it doesnt have enough power to flash a rom and it doesnt show battery percentage in recovery like it normally does i think it has had it will leave on charger a couple more days hopefully it comes back alive

i really dont see how sticking a paperclip in the mic hole would cause the battery issue, yea its possible you punctured the mic but it shouldnt effect battery in any way. Im guessing its just a coincidental issue, unless you somehow punctured the battery..but that seems unlikely.
Yea just leave the phone alone for a bit, and call up htc and see what theyre willing to do (price, how long itll take) so you have an idea of what you want to do next.
One thing i would try is holding the power and both volume buttons down while shining a bright light into the light sensor (on the top left of the front of the device)
