Is my Kaiser dead?

Hi, recently my extUSB broke down, so I was unable to coonect anything. My friend changed the connector in proffesional way with IR gun. But now Kaiser won´t even boot up, no vibration on startup, only green LED is lit up.
I bought D2, but I am curious if there is any way to fix it.
Thanks in advance

What does your friend say?
What happens if, while holding down the camera button (on the same side as the power button but further down), you press the power button to power it on - do you get a stripy screen? If you do, you can poke the stylus into the reset hole to reset the device out of the bootloader screen. What did the friend have to say about it - personally I'd much rather have a TyTN II which boots and works fine except for a broken USB port (I presume it was working fine before the 'repair'), than one with a shiny new port that won't work at all.

Nothing happens it looks like it is absoluttely dead.
The USB port was faulty, that was reason, why I let it change.
Well, it is strange, but actually I am very satisfied with with D2, even more than with Kaiser...

Well I suppose you could always get an expert to look at it but if its motherboard is damaged (or there's other hardware damage), it may be more expensive to repair than it's worth. You could see what your local HTC people have to say about it.

Or you could sell it in the market section, plenty of people that would like to get a crack at fixing it or use it for parts.

Hi, I just encountered the very same issue. I know I'm ressurecting a very old thread, but I rather do this than creating a new one
I flashed my Kaiser with Android about two months back. Everything was quite stable, no hardware issues. Suddenly, it won't turn on.
When I plug a charger in the extUSB, the orange LED won't show up. And if I try to turn on the phone, the green LED shows up and stays solid. However, the short familiar vibration isn't there and also the screen remains black. Nothing was wrong with the USB port. I tried multiple chargers...

Have you tried to reflash or hard reset?. Also maybe your battery is gone..try another one.

Some things to try

I realise you cant flash if it's not booting but if your battery has sufficient charge remaining (won't work if it's flat) it'd be worth trying a hard reset using the D pad key + stylus in the hole method (can be done at switch on time without needing a full boot).

How do you know that a fault hasn't now developed with it - I wouldn't rule that out at this stage. Have you tried a known good battery that is fully charged in the phone also is it the original charger you are trying (not all chargers with the same plug are compatible)? Are you able to get the bootloader screen to show and if so, what does it display?

No bootloader, no nothing - just black screen (there's not even a hint of backlight). I'll try a different battery today.
I tried using my old AC charger, my colleague's AC charger (for TouchPRO2), USB cable... the orange LED still doesn't come up.
What's the hardreset using Dpad key? I tried holding the power button + camera and also holding the two "context" keys (above explorer and messages buttons) and touching the reset button with the stylus.
I'll see whether a different battery will do the trick.
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions, guys! Much appreciated!

The context key one you mentioned is what I refer to as a D Pad hard reset. The one where you press the power button while already holding down the camera button is how to get into the boot loader - it's all explained in the Kaiser wiki. Sounds like another battery is definitely worth a shot - especially if you only have one (I have 3 for my Kaiser and on some days with heavy GPS use, I need all of them). What happened between it working and not working - what were you installing or doing with it?

I tried another (fully charged) battery from my gf's Kaiser today. No change. When I press the power button, the green LED shows up and stays solid (no blinking/flashing). Screen is black, no short vibration. I tried all sorts of hardresets and also tried to get into the bootloader. No luck.
Also, I took my multimeter and measured voltages on the charger, the battery and the pins in the phone where battery resides. Everything seemed to give a correct voltage. So it's really not a power issue
Thanks for all your help, but I'm afraid I have a total brick in my hand.

My Kaiser
Hi I have a HTC Kaiser I bought the first week it came out and it was f=ine for quite a while but 6 months ago it stopped working. It'll go to bootloader but won't flash. When trying to turn it on it'll go and just get stuck on the splash screen. I figured it was a battery because I'm very hard on my phones but I just got a replacement battery last week and all 3 of my batteries act the same way. I may have been trying to flsh went it went down it was a few months ago so I can't remember.
--- Other things to note
My Kaiser got wet and I had to have the usb port replaced and the dpad replaced. The usb acts fine but the middle dpad button does not work
The charging light will stay orange or green after I unplug the charger
After reading for the last week I think its either bricked or maybe has a bad hardspl on it?!?
Thanks in Advance for any help you guys may give.

Time for it to visit the same phone repair shop (or HTC) again for an assesment/possible repair if economically viable. If it's only recently got wet, you may be able to catch it before corrosion sets in and causes any damage but if it's not dryed out/cleaned quickly, the damage (from the resulting corrosion) will eventually show up (possibly in all the ways you've described).

[Q] Is my Captivate completely toast?

I've been reading forums all day long looking for answers but I can't seem to find a solution, so my apologies if someone has a solution in a thread that I missed but I couldn't find anything.
I have Rogers Captivate which I had applied the One Click Lag Fix that worked great. I then decided to flash a custom rom with Odin. In the middle of the flash, my pc lost power (battery ran out, forgot to plug it into the wall) and the bar on my Captivate showing the progress stopped. After I turned the computer back on, I turned off my phone (since it was stuck an I thought it was a good idea) and tried to turn it on with no success.
As far as I can tell, it's COMPLETELY dead.
Here's everything I've tried:
- ALL (and I mean ALL) button combinations
- There's no power bar, absolutely nothing showing
- I've taken sim and battery out and tried connecting to the pc, no luck
- I've tried letting it charge although the screen is dead (meaning black) and the soft keys don't light up so I have no idea if it's charging
- When I plug the phone into my pc, it doesn't even detect it
- Can't get ANYTHING to show up on the screen. I hold power, it doesn't turn on. I hold Vol up and down and nothing.
I don't know if there's anything on the board I can do to reset or something. Is my phone completely toast? If so, I'll have to resort to getting a replacement through the 1 year manufacturer's warranty which sucks, but oh well.
Thank you all for any assistance you can provide. I would hate to go back to my iPhone 4 ((

Did you try pulling battery, then holding Vol+ and Vol- and plugging in USB?
Have you tried a USB jig?

I had to disconnect my phone mid-Odin a few times before. I was able to use a JIG to get back into Download Mode and restore it to a working state. Might wanna try that!

I think this guy's phone really is toast though - no activity, nadda?
The only other thing I can think of - is make sure the USB cable is plugged directly into your computer's motherboard USB Ports.
Then try the above - pull out sime batt etc... plug in the USB with the battery out - then jam the battery back in while holding down the volume buttons.
If this doesn't work or the Jig.. Warranty Time with AT&T (Happy Times )

I would say the jig is worth a shot, I have seen several people say they came back from a black screen with the jig.

If you are just getting a black screen when you try to turn it on then the phone is most likely done. I know it's too late but it is extremely important that when flashing your phone that there is no chance of loosing power to your compuer.
I would still suggest to try the JIG option if you haven't already. Each bricked phone acts differently. My first phone I was able to get into download mode with the JIG but even after flashing it 3 times it still would be stuck on the AT&T logo loop. Likely because of a hardware related issue. I would check with your carrier and see what you options are after trying to use a JIG. Or you can call Samung and they might be able to repair the phone for a couple hundred. Which is still cheaper then paying $400 for a new one.

I had a similar issue where I got a purple screen flashin stock with odin...and then phone acted ''dead'' no response on any end...what I did was take take sim out and battery and did the volume down and power while putting in batter after every attempt with all other button attempts and putting usb in
About ten seconds the time it takes the art screen in my case to flash and after about fifty attempts it went into d.l mode
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Mine got stuck in the white ATT logo loop once, and it just took many, many tries to get ODIN to recognize, but it eventually came around, and has been great ever since. If it is really bricked, you have nothing to lose, so you might as well go hardcore.

Same thing happen to me yesterday! And the jigg saved my phone. Thank you jigg

[Q] HTC One wont turn ON at all ! How to fix this?

Hello to everyone,
I have that common problem that everyone have. My HTC One suddenly turned off and wont turn on.
1. I didn't mess anything around software and/or firmware I used it as is.
2. I tried every combination and permutation that I read on this great forum. (power+volume buttons combination, while charging, without charging, with bright light, without bright light, connecting to PC and using ADB tool with fastboot reboot and recovery commands, left it on charger for day and a half and so on...)
3. My LED indicator is just flashing while charging and I can't get a solid LED indicator.
4. I don't have warranty and it was bought in France on some stupid carrier.
How to fix this?
I would be very thankful to that person that gives me a solution to this problem. I am frustrated and after all possibilities explored pretty much depressed.

[Q] Xperia T LT30p hard brick (?) without any response from phone.

Hello everybody!
I'm new in this forum, I'm also new in Android "tuning", so I don't actually know, what to do in this situation. Ok, I've read other topics about this, but every other seems lighter than my problem.
Firstofall, I wanted to apologize for my english, but I hope, you could understand me. :fingers-crossed:
So, there is an Xperia T LT30p which has been owned by my girlfriend. She donated it to her mother and so on, so long story short, one day there appeared a key and exclamation mark in a yellow triangle (if I understood it right, I really don't know) and after that it was dead. I plugged it in wall charger - nothing, no vibration, no led, nothing, then waited for some time, nothing changed. Ok, removed the back cover, tested voltage on battery - 3,83V, not so dead, I guess... Then I started to read topics in here, sounds like a hard brick, but how to solve it..? I tried to power it up, nothing (as you expected), also tried every possible key combination (power + vol up, power + vol down, vol up/vol down + USB cable) - nothing at all, no vibration, no leds, nothing on the screen. Yesterday I downloaded PC companion, downloaded Flashtool, tried to connect it to PC, of course no drivers, but got the QHSUSB_DLOAD, so I guess, it's not that dead.
Oh yes, the only way how this phone is responding somehow is when I plug in the USB cable/wall charger with removed battery, then it does one red blink and that's all, nothing else. And that doesn't matter if there is any button pressed.
The main question is - what can I try to do in this situation? Is it fully dead?
I really hope for your answers and suggestions, otherwise, I don't really know what to do with that electronic mess on the table... :fingers-crossed:

Remove the battery and press and hold power and volume up buttons simultaneously. Then plug your phone to computer.
You'll be able to flash a kernel with Fastboot mode in Flashtool that way.
If you have the kernel the phone should boot past sony logo. You may then install whatever ftf you like via Flashtool.
Btw, I have read somewhere that the computer recognizing the phone as qhusb_dload is the result of a broken motherboard. Would make most sense anyway, as the phone was not rooted or anything.
I suggest trying above steps anyway.
Good luck!

The phone is not rooted or something, just a stock Xperia...
Just tried as you said, with removed battery pressed power + vol up simultaneously + USB - nothing, I got one red blink and nothing more, computer makes that ''no driver'' sound and that's all, flashtool doesn't find my device...
No wonder about defective motherboard, but the phone is bought in the summer 13', not so old for a phone... And what could had happened with this phone in just everyday use..?

Maybe overhearing or just bad luck with the motherboard.. Sometimes there is no explanation. :/

Is your phone still under warranty ?

Well, technically yes, but warranty card is hiding somewhere, and the phone is bought in an e-shop, i'm not sure if this shop won't send me a few doors further with my phone and I don't even know if this shop still exists..

Hi.
Not yet and I think I won't. I got an information about that sad day when this happened. Sony was upgrading an Android version but this process was interrupted somehow, so, I guess, it's quite dead...

[Q] Xperia Z Died Randomly?!?

I'll started off by saying that my bootloader is unlocked and I have flashed the Android 5.0 ROM (503b) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/exp-lollipop-xperia-z-t2929369
Sorry if this is a bit long but I thought it'd be best to tell you the steps leading up to the potential death of the phone.
As far as I can tell the issue doesn't stem from a software fault as I've been running the ROM solidly for 2 weeks now with no issues apart from not being able to hear a call when I accept with something plugged in the headphone jack.
I wake the phone and go to unlock it and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I have known it to take a second or two to wake up so I gave it a minute then tried again.
No response. Screen hadn't dimmed either so I suspected it had crashed.
Held the power button and the power off prompt appears along with all my previous actions unfolding beneath it. Just for good measure I decide I'll reboot the phone as I sometimes do when it starts to lag.
Powered off fine. Go to turn it on and nothing happens.
Battery was on about 20% when I turned it off so I plugged it in and tried again.
No LED light when I plug it in, still no response to any button combination. No recognition over USB either.
So I'm going to leave it plugged in overnight as I've seen it recommended by a couple of people before. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if you managed to recover the phone?

Unfortunately no. The phone is doing absolutely nothing when any key combination is pressed and i've tried plugging it in via USB and doing these in case the LED light had developed a fault. Still nothing.
