I had that problem and ATT changed out my phone. Since then it has run perfectly. You don't mention what OS you are on but failing with ATT my only suggestion is at least get to some version of 2.3
I run Legend 4 with Corn 7.06 with no problems. If it still shuts down at least you'll be doing with a nicer ROM!

This is what I get for buying a phone off of eBay. I usually never buy from eBay for this exact reason. I am so stupid.
I guess I could try flashing a different ROM, I currently have the Dark Knight ICS ROM but to be honest I don't think it will help. Thank you though for your reply.

Try checking with Samsung. A 10 minute call on a device I bought off of ebay got me a prepaid shipping label to return it under warranty. Since that is a known issue, they may fix it out of warranty also.

Yep. If they're willing to fix it (probably just replace it) then you will need to return it to stock.

I've had an experience when flashing my phone where during the flashing process the battery gets sufficiently depleted that it won't turn on after the flash completes. During the flash process, the battery does not charge, and the reading and writing to flash consumes more power than normal operation.
When the Wizard battery gets depleted, it will not take a charge without some serious effort. I would plug it in to the charger and leave it for at least half an hour. Then, with the power adapter still connected, attempt several resets using the soft reset button. There was a time when I had to do this several dozen times before it "took" and was revived.
You can confirm whether it's a battery problem by trying another battery. Perhaps you can stop by your carrier's retail store and ask to try a battery. If it powers up, then tell them your battery went bad (not unusual) and they may replace it for free.
Thanks for the advise, i ll try that. I knew i could get some help from this forum thanks again guys.
went to the tmobile store tried a new battery it still wont come on. I guess have to call HTC on monday. Might have fried te phone.
Called HTC support and they do not support the xda mini s. Anybody have a suggestions or any third party vendors who can help fix this phone. Please advise.

Maybe if you weren't so sarky people might want to help...some more info might be good. What bootloader from / to and why? Does a computer recognise and install it, what happens when you run a rom update etc etc.
If you have destroyed the bootloader you will need to use JTAG to reflash it and this is not something you can do at home with your own PC so you may have to pay a service centre to correct it.
Richard
I was not trying to be sarky about it. I just need help. I downgraded the ROM from the 2.21 version to 1.X version. After the downgraded the phone booted up and it got stuck at the initail ROM screen. I tried reseting it a couple of time and it kept coming up and it gets stuck from on the ROM boot up screen. So i took the battery out and after i put it back in its not even coming up. There is absolutely no power. Im willing to send it any service center i just need info on where to send it to . HTCUSAINC says they do not support 02 devices. Thanks for at least responding to my thread.

OK, who are i-mate's service agent in the US? Ring them. Explain you know how they don't service the XDA mini s, but it's a JAMin or whatever, and you're over from the UK where you work etc so can't send it back to o2 immediatley, a rom upgrade has gone wrong and you've corrupted the bootloader, you have downloaded the rom files and will strip the phone to the circuitboard if they would be so kind as to flash your rom file on it via JTAG if you made a donation to the charity of their choice etc etc.
So make it out that they have to do little work other than plug the JTAG onto the board and click 'ok' and you may get away with it.
If they do go for it, strip the phone, send the extracted rom files on CDr, thank your lucky stars and don't do it again. If they don't go for it, try the next HTC device service agent you can find until someone does.
Although people have JTAG equipment outside HTC the contact points are not labelled / listed in the service manual so you need them or their authorised agents to be able to do this.

Thanks for the advice you have been a great help im going to look for a Imate service center in the US. thanks again . Has anyone ever had any work done by the pocketpctechs.com please advise

I don't know if PPCTechs have JTAG capability for wizard. Ring them and ask. If they say '"huh? all our boxes have tags on them sir" or similar walk away...
You need someone that not only has a JTAG flash kit but also knows where the testpoints are on the wizard board. I don't sadly :-(
And I really would offer to strip the board down before sending - that's an hours' labour in some places!....

Unless you have a specific reason not to send the device back to o2 why not ring the UK XDA helpline for a quote? They do out-of-warranty repairs. +44 808 100 3427
If you are the original purchaser the warranty should still be valid - just don't mention you tried to flash it, says it stopped working.
Shipping insured to the UK should be no more than $25.
Richard.
I might just have to do that . It was a gift , but i know want the person to know that i tried to flash the phone. But at this point ill rather send it back to O2, than go thru all this stuff. Thank you soo much for ur inputs.

Hello Richard!
Could you please tell me more about JTAG? What does JTAG stand for and what JTAG can do. Its unlucky that now i have a dead O2 MiniS like Gambino because of doing the same thing he did (downgrade ROM). Will my phone become alive if i change the Flash ROM Chip?
BR
yes its unfortunate . I was trying to downgrade the rom. Whats exactly happened to yours. Has anyone else haad this problem and if you did were u able to revive it.

I did use the newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe with custom ROM (Button's) to flash my O2 Mini S (it was with German ROM 2.21 and i wanted to downgrade ROM in order to unlock CID and reflash with English ROM). The process went Ok and when the phone restarted i got
IPL 1.0. xx
SPL 2.21.xx
OS 1.54xx
and a boot screen with a glass of beer !!!!
Then the phone hang up, i think because of incompatible SPL and OS
I took out the battery trying to get into bootloader and reflash with another ROM but the phone did not power on. Now its totally a DEAD BRICK.
yup thats the same thing that happened to me. Anybody else have any input if this ever happened to them

G1 touch screen doesn't work after sliding the screen open

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to fix this problem with the keyboard not working after sliding the screen completely open and I say completely open because when I open it half through the touch screen will work but only when the screen is completely open so I can use the keyboard is when it stops working. It also works when in landscape mode but the device has to be closed otherwise it's not working. Any help will be much appreciated and thank you in advance.
are you running a hero rom?
Yes I am but actually this happened before I flashed hero on the phone I first had this problem when the phone was on JF 1.51
dont know exactly what the problem might be but it sounds like a hardware issue, you should return it
I'm gonna just keep trying if after a week I can't get it fixed ill considered returning it. Is there an easy way to go factory/stock mode because if they find out my phone is rooted they're going to void any warranty the phone may have

also since we are on this topic, does anyone know if tmobile checks IMEI on warranty exchanges, or do they just see if the phone is up for warranty exchange still. i am wanting to swap my spare g1 with a new one since the speaker is out on it and some of the keys dont work, but i dont want to run into problems at tmobile. Thanks guys!
I had warranty devices shipped out to me, perhaps 20 times. They only asked me to confirm the IMEI, maybe 4 times, out of 20. Asurion on the other hand, has always asked to confirm the IMEI on all phone claims etc...
As far as them checking the IMEI in the warehouse once the Phone is returned, I have no idea. I have yet to return a phone whos IMEI's didnt match. Sorry.
Goodluck tho.

there are only 2 radios for the g1 at this time. one of them starts with a one, and the other is the 2.22.19.26I that is required to run the new spl. if there is a link to this rom, and it is the dream forum i would like too see it. if it is not in the dream forums then you should've known better than to flash something to your phone that was not made for it or tested for it. Twisted bricked one of his phones flashing a hero radio.
I hope you still have insurance

Is my phone really broken? Like ill never ever be able to use it again? Is there any way to fix this? Someone told me to press Alt-L because the box with arrows pointing at the screen is the recovery mode screen but when I press Alt-L nothing happens
Those are combined radio and ROMs for the Hero, not Hero ported to the Dream. At the top in big red letters it says:
DO NOT FLASH THESE ON ANYTHING EXCEPT A HERO!

So you flashed a radio not written for your device. Yes, it's a brick, you deserve a brick for completely ignoring the warnings...
I would say take it back to tmo, but as it's not a full brick, but a radio brick, they will know it's not an over the air update that caused it.
What do I tell t-mobile? I bought my phone on ebay..I dont even know if it has insurance or anything and I do not use a data-plan im using a t-mobile prepaid sim.. theres noway for me to fix this?
call HTC and talk to them, they will fix it on your dime. Basically you call them, they will tell you there is a "$29 or less triage fee", and give you an RMA number. Basically what they are saying is, without your approval, the charge to look at it will be less than $29. That includes shipping back to you. I would think a reflash would be a fairly cheap procedure. I have used HTC for repairs before and they really went over and above for me.

Oh, you're not a tmo customer....then they won't replace it for you. Only if you bought it from them. Enjoy your brick.
Theres nothing that I can do to fix a radio brick!?
here is the contact info for HTC-Tmobile repairs
1-888-356-2375 [email protected]
this is getting a bit old, NO, there is no fix for what you did other than sending it in for repair. Nobody but HTC has the ability to fix your type of brick as of right now.
Ok..can you tell me what I should tell them? My phone is rooted, doesnt that mean they wont accept it?
Worst thing you can do is tell them the phone is rooted. If you've got a data plan and everything with T-Mobile, tell them that you installed an OTA update and that this problem happened.
Last time I had a brick, that's what I told HTC. They fixed it for free, all I had to pay for was the shipping.
I do not have a data plan though..thats the thing im used t-mobile prepaid, so your saying not to tell them that my phone is rooted? Wont they know though?
No, they can't tell. If you don't have a data plan with them, they won't help you. That's what they did to me since I just have a regular plan.
This is when you go to HTC. Find their support number on their website, and call them. They'll give you the address to send it to, and they'll repair it for 1-2 weeks. They pay for return shipping.
Also, tell them that there was an OTA update, you pressed "ok", and after that the phone would not reboot. DO NOT tell them anything related to you rooting it, flashing, etc.
Ok thanks... so since I dont have a data plan they wont help me fix it? I sent them an email anyways
No, but you can give them a call and see what they say.
I just know from experience that they've turned people down as well as myself in the past.

Bricked My Nexus - My Options?

So... long story short, I bricked my Nexus One. There is no LED while charging and the phone doesn't boot. I figured if I replace the motherboard, the phone will start functioning again.
From my understanding, HTC charges $196 to replace this piece, which is quite expensive considering I paid $175 for this Nexus. But I found a part on eBay which I think is the motherboard, but I want to make sure before I purchase it.
Attached is the link:

I would appreciate if anybody can confirm that this is the motherboard and if it will resurrect my phone.

Do you know where I can source the motherboard?
I might try buzzing HTC tomorrow for a warranty repair (or swap) for a different issue with the phone. Maybe I can escalate it to the proper person if they give me any problems.
I have searched almost everywhere for it; and it's nowhere to be found.
My options remain:
1) Hope HTC replaces my Nexus for another issue
2) Have HTC replace my motherboard for $196
3) Replace it myself, assuming I can source one
4) JTAG it back to life
5) Sell it in its current state
Do you mind sharing the story of how you bricked it? I'm really interested.
google a method to un brick it. One hacker actually did that already. It might help you.

I unrooted the phone and started proceeding with the respective steps. I just flashed CW recovery and was using it to flash gapps, CM, and a radio image. I then rebooted the phone, but it never turned on.
Now, I have a beautiful non-functioning Nexus One! Does not boot at all, no LED when hooking up to A/C, nothing...

Update: I called HTC and mentioned a completely unrelated issue, which was a small speck of dust under the screen. I chose the swap option and didn't mention the phone didn't turn on, or was bricked. I just checked the tracking update and it says "service is completed." Checked my card; nothing was charged.
GO HTC! They are the absolute best!
u probably bricked it with the radio update.. did you check the MD5 checksum before u flashed it? And was it even a proper Radio?
You need to be very careful while flashing a radio... it's like flashing a BIOS on a PC.
You should flash it through fastboot and not recovery, it's safer.
Just so you know when you try to do it again.

Finally, i got hard bricked...

Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've been living on the edge, like many of us LOL, and i finally got hard bricked. No battery charge, logo, download mode. Nothing. Just a black screen.
I was using ICS stunner 1.4.26 and decided to flash Catastrophic Meltdown 9 (CM9 for friends). The problems was that my battery died when it was installing the kernel, or the boot, i dont know.
So, i have been reading a lot those days but nothing seems to work. I have ordered a Jig but i think is not going to work. Yesterday i used windows, and something was detected when i plugged in the usb, but Odin not.Today it does not work, and windows doesnt play any sound. Any idea? A Jag?
I should say this is the best mobile phone i have ever touched. I would be eternal grateful with all of you if we could fix this mess. I was aware that there were risks. Im aware now maybe i cant fixit and im not gonna blame anyone because it was my responsability, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, nothing worked (tried the JIG). I had to send it in for repair, but they didn't see that it was my fault (still had warranty).

From my experience the only way u can get ur phone back in service is go to ssc and make some reasonable reason why ur phone is dead, so u can still claim for warranty and I am sure they will replace ur engine/mobo like my friends did a month ago.

It has nothing to do with your battery dying and everything with trying to flash CM9 directly from super-dangerous LP5 or LP6 leak ICS kernel.
No jig or JTag will revive your phone now.
However, if your Note refuses to go into download or recovery mode, you are in luck - if you have a warranty, that is. Just take your phone to the service center and tell them that it died when updating via Kies. There is no way for them to tell what had really happened and they will have to replace your motherboard free of charge.
Sadly, jig didnt solve the problem. Battery isnt hot when plugged in, is my motherboard fried by flashing the note?
Could a jtag solve the problem?
Try to take it back in for warranty before attempting a JTAG and voiding the warranty (that they can tell)

Yeah, that's a classic superbrick, need replacement mobo. Sorry dude. As mentioned just say you were updating ics ota or through kies.

I got the same problem few days back..I went to service center and said that i got an ota update and after downloading had completed,it started rebooting and there i got some errors and finally my phone is dead
They were unable to find the exact reason why it got bricked as it was unable to enter download or recovery mode
So they replaced the motherboard under warrenty
Better this it once
All the best :good:
I dont think that warranty thing is gonna work, because i have lost some inside cover screws... yeah, thats a long story trying to fix it. If i borrow a motherboard... could i recover my data? because thats all i want at the moment. Or, is there any website where i can buy it? Otherwise, im going to try it with the warranty...

What cover screws??
If you change your motherboard,you will lose all your data
I just came back from the service center and they are covering it under warranty . Similar symptoms and they are going to replace the whole board. Just take it to the service center and say "Yo man your **** died on it own" :fingers-crossed:
