It looks like my Tytn II might be bricked... I have searched and searched and can not find any info on this. The phone will not turn on. I know the battery is dead, but it should have the power to try to boot. In fact, I have not used it in a while and I just tryed to boot it, it got to the starting screen, then the windows loading screen, and then I walked away for a few minutes and came back it and it was a black screen. Tried to turn on again and it did not power up. Upon plugging it into the charger, I get a solid red light on the top. When I remove the battery from the phone as the charger is connected the LED immediately changes to solid orange, and the blue led next to it comes on as well. When I disconnect the charger all the LEDs go off (obviously because theres no battery) and when i put the battery back in the phone i get a dim red light.
is the phone bricked? im thinking it might have slight water damage but it has been like 2 weeks since then so it should have dryed up i assume. tried to reset a few times with the little reset button next to the charger port, nothing. is it possible the battery may just be done for? any help or suggestions would be great. thanks.
I had that isue but i just leaved the phone on charger and everything came back to normal It's still working very well. But, i cant remember how i get into that situation but i surely know that i saw red light on top .
thanks, now that its been on the charger for a while i now get an orange LED. i will let it charge for a while and see if it awakens after almost 3 weeks of utter deadness.
Try waking it while on charge itslef.

just tried and it got to the very first boot screen and then went black and the orange and blue LEDs stayed on. tried to reset, no luck. unplugged charger, still LEDs stayed on. so then I took the battery out, all LEDs went out, plugged it back in and now i get the same red LED again.
update: now i get a orange LED as its plugged into the charger, but when i try to turn it on it gives the first boot screen for like 3 or 4 seconds then turns off...
I am getting exactly the same problem?
I tried to install android - got it working, came on a few times - then just totally died - It showt he HTC boot logo, but then just turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas.
does your computer see it when plugged in via usb?
perhaps this will help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136
oh and also you have tried to enter the bootloader mode right?
I've had this issue, millions of times. What I do when I have problems like this (and problems like when I turn it on, it says the battery is low when it isnt, and when you connect your charger/USB, it dies on you)
Try removing and putting the battery back on.
so in simple words
charge the battery first (dont bother trying to turn it on)
and then remove the charger (this plays a big role)
take out the battery, put it back in, hope it works.
The same thing just happened to me, I thought it was toast. I would get the red light when I plugged into the charger, and after a few minutes it would turn to orange. I tried to turn it on then, and it would start to boot up, then shut off a few seconds later. This happened a few times. I just left it plugged in overnight, and when I woke up it was on! Only problem I've noticed is the orange LED is always on, but I can live with that
I have spent 2 hours looking at forums and none have solved my problem. I will try and state as best possible of what is and what has happened.
When I take the battery out and plug in the charger, it displays a red light at the top left. Sometimes, depending on how long I wait, when I put the battery back in, it either has no lights or turns to Orange. Once, when it turn to Orange, I did a soft reset and it went to the white AT&T screen and just stayed there. I hit the soft reset again and it went to the Red, Green, Blue and White Screen. After seraching, I found out that it was called the bootloader screen. But on mine, there is no writing whatsover, like serial or whatever...just the color bars. When I try and plug it up to the usb on my computer I get nothing. It looks like it will not soft reset unless I put the battery back in and the light goes Orange, that's the only timw it will do it. If I put the battery in and it turns the red light off...it will not do anything...nothing.
Can somebody PLEASE help me try and figure out what to do here? I don't think I will be able to load anything on it since nothing happens when I plug in the usb to the computer.
Thanks for taking the time for listening. And also, I have not loaded anything for 2-3 weeks now onto the phone and this just happened late last night. Thanks again!

Update...had the battery out and nothing plugged into it for about 30 minutes. Put the Battery in, it powered up, went to the first AT&T screen and immediately went back dead again. If I put the battery in and hook it to the charger, it doesn't charge...so I don't think it is the issue with a dead battery...maybe?
PLEASE HELP...Can't really afford another phone right now.
Sounds like you need a new battery.
But should it power up with the phone charger plugged in...good battery or not?
I don't think so, these phones are pretty strange when it comes to bad batterys. Hopefully you know someone with a tilt that you can swap batterys with.
Even if the battery is dead, it should still start the phone and not go into boot loader. Do you have the OEM or a custom ROM? YOu may also want to try and hard reset. Press and hold the 2 dash buttons down (the ones above messages and internet); the while holding them down, insert the stylis into the reset hole, and let the phone reset. once it resets and goes to the hard reset gray screen, let go of the dash buttons. Then when it asks if you want to reset, press the green send button and let the phone hardrest.
If the battery is dead, and will not charge, the phone should not turn on (at least that was my experence, when I had a bad battery). This is just very wierd
Update #2 - I just went to Batteries Plus and they checked the Battery and said it had absolutely nothing...maybe those times it came up completely drained it.
So I forked out $40 bucks for a new battery and they told me to fully charge it before use. So I put it in the phone, plugged the charger into the phone and it looks as though nothing is happening because there are no lights on whatsoever...itsn't there supposed to be?
I have the OEM Rom.
Should I try the hard reset even though the new battery is not fully charged yet?
I wouldn't.
Your phone might be so dead that it doesn't charge the battery, I've seen this in laptops and other devices.
Update 3 - Since it looked as though nothing was happening, I tried the power buttong and nothing...so I took the battery back out, and the red light came on with the charger only plugged in. I tried to put the battery back in a few times and I finally have an orange light lit up while the battery is in and pluuged up to the charger...does that mean it's charging? The light will turn green once fully charged, correct? Anyone know about how long that would take if that's the case?
turn it on, it's a lithium ion battery, it doesn't have a memory.
It's plugged into the charger, orange light is on, but when I press and even hold down the power button, nothing happens????? UGGGHHHHHH
Should I try a soft or hard reset? Want to ask before I do.
Okay...I did a soft reset and it boots up now....for 3 time it went all the way to the main screen and then rebooted itself...now when it rebooted it went to the Red, Green, Blue and White bar screen. There is no writing on the screen, just color bars. Any suggestions?
Just to say... I don't think it's a good idea to have the phone plugged in without the battery...
Last night I completely drained the battery by having a call and never shutting it off. I slept on them. Oops. This morning I woke up to find it completely dead. I hooked it up to a wall outlet, turned it on, and now it won't go past the Motorola dualcore screen.
When I pull the battery, plug it in, and leave it off. I can't. I can't turn it off. The only way to turn it off is to stop plugging it in. When I plug it in, it immediately shows the Motorola screen. Pressing the power button does nothing, it seems. If I press it, during plug in, WITH or WITHOUT battery, the Motorola screen is still there.
And also, I do not see a red light anyway on the phone when it's plugged in. Not charging?
Oh, also, this phone is NOT rooted. I'v only used this phone for like less than a week.
Try to charge it for an hour then try to boot.
If nothing works you could always reflash stock rom:

I had to reboot mine in to flash mode in order for mine to come back up. I had to hold the down volume (or up cannot remember right now) + power for a minute nearly. Then it rebooted correctly into normal mode.

So I ended up calling AT&T and they went ahead and shipped me a new MAHD.
I took the dead phone to work and tried charging with my work charger, and now it works! When it finally turned on, the battery level was at 3%. So lesson learned: Do not let your battery drain to 1%!

I am having the same problem. I can get the boot screen up if i hold the buttons in at a certain time while the phone is plugged in and attempting to turn on. however, the phone cuts out no matter what and repeats the cycle even with the boot screen up. during the few seconds i can get the boot screen up, i'm unable to select an option, only scroll up or down and highlight them. then the phone cuts out and 20 secs. later attempts to turn on again but never gets past the motorola icon. Any suggestions? I originally thought it was the battery so i ordered one and installed it correctly and charged it, but still the same thing is happening. When plugged into a pc, charge light comes on but phone won't attempt to turn on....?????????

Our phone doesn't receive power from the cable until it's fully booted. Factory cables are a good work around.

I have the same problem.
I think it's impossible to fix.
I tested with original charger.
I have also tried every possible button combinations.
and does not start
Has anyone been able to fix it?
Today my D3 rebooted unexpectedly. After the reboot, the phone didn't turn on, and I connected to energy to make sure that it wasn't a battery problem. When I connected it, it tried to boot, and I left it, but when I came back, the phone was fully dead. Doesn't turn on. The battery is OK, I put it on a Motorola Bravo, and it showed 60% charge. I have a Factory Programming Cable, and I connected it to the phone, but neither this way the phone did turn on.
I don't know what to do, it seems that is a hardware problem . When I put the battery, the phone heats a lot
Any ideas?

Wish I could be the one answering but I'm writing to chime in that the exact same thing happened to me today. Same thing re my battery. The only thing I'd add is that it did have trouble booting up for no reason 2 or 3 days ago, but I took out the battery, waited maybe 20 minutes, and she rebooted okay. I called Verizon, and wouldn't you know that I'm 3 days out of warranty. They wouldn't budge to let me get a replacement under warranty.

The volume key one yes, but not x/m.
I am having the same problem. How did it turn out for you? And what is the x/m ?

With the phone powered off, slide the keyboard open. Hold down "X" while powering on to access the boot menu. I can't recall what holding down the "M" key while powering on does, though...

Seems to be permanently bricked. Gone back to my old Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5. Good phone, but slow for today's standards, outside of HTC Sense not finger-friendly and, of course, I don't have access to apps. Going to wait out my Vzw contract and then very likely get a SmartTalk account using an unlocked GSM phone.
The x/m refers to an alternative hard reset method. Hold down both of those keys along with the power button.
