Hello Everyone
Today my phone just gave up. When it died I assumed it did not have any charge and tried to charge my phone but it just wouldn turn on. I havent rooted my phone or installed anything out of the ordinary. Here is the list of things I have tried.
1. Try all possible button combinations with/without power
2. Shine a bright light to the sensor and try the power button
3. Connect it to a windows laptop(my device manager doesnt show anything)
I suspect it might be a hard brick with the hardware at fault.
Could anyone please let me know the following.
1. Would it be possible to fix my phone?
2. If not, would it be possible to extract the data in my phone? (I dont care if i lose my phone, I just need the data).
3. Would it help if I approach someone offering the JTAG service?
4. Any service that you guys recommend that I can use that would help me recover my data? (mobiletechvideos?)
I know I should have backed up my stuff but I just returned from an International trip and I dont want to lose those photos.
Help me out guys.
I share my experience with you, when I thought, my device died.
Same thing happened to me, none of combination works.
let the device cool down for 1 hour. after that put the device on charger and hold down all the buttons (Power+VolumeUp/Down) for about 1 minute, & it will turn on. with 1% battery, let it charge.

Tried to flash button rom with full battery. Comunication error. Only boots to 3 color bars. Every time I retry the flash the phone starts flashing on and off.
Mmmmmm
What is the problem....?
Does your wizard dont begins... so it wont wake up... dont start ?
You cant turn it on?
What do you mean with turn on and off?
is blinking?
If the problem is its blinking and dont stands on... it is a serios problem but if the wizard saty on ... what ipls and spl got?
What did you do?
Men we need to much info..... than it is on bootloader, i cant upgrade etc etc etc.
FUUUUUUU******@@@@@
while flashing the button rom, i got a communication error. At random times after connecting the phone via usb the screen flashes on an off and communication is lost. sometimes the phone gets mostly through the flash, sometimes it wont even start to flash. But here is the f-ing kicker, while trying to recover in the button flasher proggie, my computer locked up and WILL NOT TOUR BACK ON. thats right, i lost my phone and computer in 5 minutes thanks to this flasding sh*t. i am only able to access this forum via a blackjack II smartphone.
OK, Feeling better
Sorry about that.
I got my computer back on.
It wouldnt even go to cmos so I traded out my cpu, still didnt work.
Put the old cpu back in and it booted just fine. Not sure why that happened but at least my computer is back on.
Ok so back to the phone. It boots to the 3 color bar screen and shows IPL/SPL as 2.25. After connecting the USB cable it will sometimes start flashing, not always. If I restart the button rom flasher it will start to flash, after getting to some % the phone starts flashing.
By flashing I mean the screen flashes on and off. Likely the phone is rebooting itself constantly.
Undo?
Is it possible to just undo what ive done? Is the old info still on the phone? IPL/SPL are still the same as before.
No, your old info is not on the phone anymore. The first thing that is done when the flashing process begins is deletion of your flash on your phone. This may seem like a n00b question, but have you tried using a different USB port? DO NOT flash with a port off of a hub, they are usually under powered when compared to direct board connected ports. Try one on the back of your tower(or directly in your notebook whatver.) and see if that works.
It also failed on the back usb port.
All is not lost is it?
I believe that this phone might need a new battery.
I had some problems with the phone turning off when it wasn't supposed to but it hasn't done it in a long time so I though I was ok. Do you think that a new battery might allow this downgrade to complete?
Its possible. The Wizard is kind of a tempermental device....it flashes when it wants to some time. You can try and see if a new battery is what fixes the problem, but in all honesty, it could be anything.
Xtrange
ok
try to get connecte with that cable other device, maybe is broken the cable...
try another usb port...
download again the button rom, maybe is corrupted.
lets wait what happen
Its your battery , replace the battery and it will charge and then you can flash it,you can get two batteries for a tenner on ebay
Battery
OK, so once the new battery comes, it will charge via usb and wall charger just as it would with the OS installed? Im not sure if charging is dependent on the OS at all.
Thanks for all of your help guys.
Does it charge?
It charges??????
in bootloader dont charge men....
if the phone stuckson welcome screen maybe charges, on htc logo dont, neither on splash screen.
All we do is try to help people to upgrade and try to found solutions for those who made a bad upgrade, but i didn't cook, and dont develop anything so my only contribution is for experiences.
Hope your wizard revives.
My wizard does not bootup...only three color bars
I was trying to flush with new ROM and it stopped after 100% and in the mean times, my system rebooted. Now I got this MDA with three color bars, battery is OK but important thing is that it does not connect to computer thru Active Sync............any help>
Hi there,
I fear I hard bricked my G1 (after long years of good service as gps device thanks to a 2600mAh battery).
Since it was quite slow on CM7, I downgraded it to CM6.1. But this would'nt boot. (boot loop)
So I did a bit of reading and decided to downgrade the radio too. I downloaded a flashable zip and flashed it the usual way in the CWM recovery - which didn't finish (after a few minutes), so I removed the battery.
Since then my G1 wont start any more. On top of that, it want event charge. If I try to charge it the status led wont event light up. (I already tried it with two different batteries, both yield the same results.)
Funny thing though: If I don't charge it and let it sit for a few hours, the status LED very shortly lights up when pressing the power button. (But other than this nothing happens and if I press the power button again shortly after the LED stays dead.)
So ... I fear the problem is hardware and not software related.
Does anybody have an idea what could be broken (software or hardware) and if it's software based if there's a way to revive my phone?
(Before anybody asks ... yes, I have newer android phones, but I really live my G1 for nostalgic value so if there a way to get it running again I definitely would try.)
thx a lot,
Bapf
Sounds like you need JTAG, and don't take this the wrong way, but flashing firmware isn't the usual way, its the way you brick your phone. If possible always use fast boot to flash firmware or you are asking for a brick.
You can buy the JTAG equipment yourself and the software is free. Or you can see if you can find someone locally to do it. Unless you have a particular sentimental value to this phone it maybe cheaper to buy a new one.... Sorry for bad news

Bricked G1 - Try Again w/ SIM Card IN!
I had the exact symptoms mentioned in this post - tried nearly everything until I finally put back in the SIM card (even through I don't have T-Mobile anymore) - it booted again and registers the AC adapter and/or USB cable. Hope this helps some who are struggling at this level as I did!!

I don't know if this will work,as I've never encountered a situation such as this, but have you tried bootloader(power button+camera button)?
If you can get it into bootloader, then I have the original rc29 DREAIMG.NBH file(plus, rc29 is the best place to start if you want to root it or install a custom rom).If you get it working and just want stock 1.6, i have those updates as well.
(all said out of hope, I have a g1 and I love it,I'm really glad that someone else shares my enthusiasm!!)
If bootloader works, give me your email and i'll send you the files, good luck!:fingers-crossed:
Nope. It won't even start the bootloader.

Well thats unfortunite, I guess it's just for a soft brick.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post so I hope you are kind enough to help me with this issue.
I have an HTC 8X Blue (bought it factory unlocked) and recently I have updated it to GDR2. It happened what many other HTC 8X's user had. It bricked when I was playing some music.
I found an article that has a solution allegedly (I cannot post the link but it is the most popular solution aparently). But my problem is that I cannot enter Bootloader Mode as one of the first steps requires. My phone is simply dead, I tried every combination of buttons (hard reset and soft reset), but non is responsive. Of course, my PC does not recognize it and when I plug it in to the wall the red light does not turn on!
I do not have experience in modding or flashing or what-ever process needed (for Windows Phone), but I do know pretty much for iOS so I can learn quickly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Your best option would be to get it repaired/replaced by a service center. If you're near a Microsoft store, they can take care of that for you. If not, it'll be trickier.
Otherwise, the only advice I can offer is to leave it for a while, let the battery drain entirely if you can, plug it in again, and try to start it... even if it won't boot normally, you may be able to access the bootloader mode now.
Thanks for the quick reply! I actually do not have a Microsoft Store as I live in Argentina...
I think i will try to drain the battery and restart it. Should I restart it the normal way? I mean by holding power button?
Yep, basically that.
You could also try calling HTC support and seeing if they have any other recommendations. The battery drain thing is basically just in case the phone got stuck in a weird state; resetting it that way may help.
is your phone stuck in QHSUSB_DLMODE i got my stuck there the other day. what i did was hold VOL UP, WOL DOWN and POWER all at the same time until the phone vibrated. wouldnt you know i unbricked my device.
Hello, my name is TNSM and i'm new here. I signed up because i can't find anything on the internet that can help me, so i thought maybe someone here may be able to help me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 and i'm experienced with rooting and flashing custom roms stuff. So, i was looking everywhere for a rom that included the HALO feature and after days of failed research, i found a link on Youtube to download a rom with Halo for my smartphone. I went into the recovery, backed up my current rom, wiped data and performed a factory reset, installed the rom and rebooted the phone... but after i chose the "Reboot" option, the phone never again gave a sign of life. It doesn't turn on, it doesn't show any lights whatsoever, i've tried to charge it overnight, but still nothing, considered buying a USB JIG but didn't work, my cousin says the phone seems like it doesn't even have the bootloader anymore... is my phone more than hard-bricked? Is there a way to wake my phone up again? Just for the record, it has no physical damage, it just seems like it has no software inside, that it's just hardware. By the way, when i connect it to the pc using the usb cable, the pc keeps playing the sound that something was plugged in and that something was plugged out right after, and it loops forever.
I'll give more information about the phone if needed. And i hope someone's able to help me.

You may try to pull off the battery for few mins, then with someone's help hold the 3 buttons for download mode and then plug in the battery...
If you can't turn it in download mode there's no way to fix it, except jtag maybe.
Ok guys,
as the title says Lumia 710 is bricked.
It had last factory update and everything was working fine. Then i had to mess with it and to try to install Rataplan V9.1.
The process was working ok. By default, bootloader was in DLOAD mode, so in order to install custom ROM i needed to upgrade to Qualcomm. I have upgraded it and installed Rataplan .nb rom to the phone with NSSPro V0.54.
This is when my problems start.
The phone starts with one long vibration followed after few seconds with one short virbtation and thats it. No screen, no system, zip!
When i try to connect it again by usb to check it with NSSPro, it always starts in NAND disk mode. It does not matter do i start it normally on power button or with volume up. Its always in NAND. And it is always stuck. While the phone is connected to USB i can see Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device in device manager but it has yellow mark like the driver is not installed.
I have tried several other roms, and NSS always shows that the rom is successfully installed, but the phone (other than vibration and NAND mode) is dead.
I have also tried all the solutions i could find on the net but no help. Tried, nokia recovery tool, WP recovery tool, Chimera e.t.c. Nothing works. Now i have a problem with NSS. It keeps stucking and beeing unresponsive for every option except Custom OS flash. Whatever else i click it either says tha phone is not detected or the app stucks and shuts itself down.
Is there other tool i can try?
Can i do anything to recover this phone or did i kill it?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well that sucks and it sucks no one has tried to help here. I'm fair with Android but too new to WP's to probably be much help. Can you pull the battery out of the phone? Might pull it and leave it out a couple minutes then retry. You also might try from a different computer in case something has gone wrong on your computer in terms of port communication or maybe even a virus of some sort. Good luck.

Tried allready every solution that i could find or think of, including things You described. Nothing. I was left with no other option but to send phone to service. They have a box unit with which they should be able to recover phone.
That was 2 days ago. today is third day so i am thinking that my phone has gone beyond repair. Only thing i can do is to wait and see...
Why not...?
Why not send it in real life to a windows phone expert. There should be a place to get phones repaired But, if they say that it isn't possible for them you may have rendered your phone useless. Google should be your mighty friend in this case :crying: I wish you very good luck.
