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.

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.

HTC USA probably say that because they are contractually obliged to.

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.
Richard
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!....
Richard
Thanks you are being such a great help.Wow its getting even closer to a brick phone huh.Well im still looking i have no idea where to find a repair center for this o2 xda mini s.Ill try club imate like u said in earlier.thanks again. i owe u one

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

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

[Q] Locked out of Galaxy S, What options are there?

Hiya guys, I have a problem with a friends Galaxy S & i am looking for some help.
She has gone & locked herself out of her Galaxy S & asked me for help as she knows nothing about Android. I told her to just sign in with her google account & it will sort itself out, This is the point she gave me a blank look, turns out she skipped setting an account up due to not wanting any spam on her e-mails. (Yer i had no idea what to say to her when she said that, i was more confused with her logic! )
So i said as long as she doesn't mind losing all her data/contacts etc i can get the phone working again, Thus she agreed & has left me with the phone & this is where the problems began, The 3 button combination doesn't work. I pursume as its a 3UK branded Galaxy S & they have there own loading animation that they took this feature out
I found another thread with more or less the same problem (Here) but nothing in there works.
So i am left holding a Galaxy S that i have no idea how to recover, So my final shot & getting this working before i tell her to call Samsung is to ask on here.
Is there anything i can do that means i can get this phone working again or will this be a call up Samsung job?
Thanks in advance

Was sold a retail mode Huawei P9 and I want to swap to stock ROM [UK]

Back story:
I bought a Huawei P9 from cash converters online, everything worked fine except the battery wouldn't go past 72%. I spoke to Huawei via their live chat who sent me a baggy to send it off to "Sbe" under warranty. Sbe then sent me a letter saying it's not in warranty because it's in Carphone Warehouse retail demo mode. I had to pay Sbe £15 in order to get my phone back and hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. I went to Carphone Warehouse and gave them all the phone's information and they said it isn't blacklisted, but that they couldn't "fix" it for me either.
I love the phone, I really do...and I don't want to send it off again for a refund, I've been reading up on it and there's been stuff about bootloaders and rooting, I have no idea what any of this stuff is...but the Dload flashing method seems like something I could manage without much hassle.
Actual question:
The phone is an EVA-L09, I just want to know which ROM I should use, I've downloaded "P9 EVA-L09 B136" based on a similar post but it's a year old and so might not be right.
I'm sorry that I'm a noob about this stuff and things might be wrong, but I need help and this seems like the place to get it.
Thank you, Thorpy
P.S If someone does reply with a link to the correct rom to use, would I need to format the micro SD?

When you get the phone back, look in Settings -> About Phone and see what build number you have there. This will give you a clue as to which ROM you should flash.
Also, try enabling Developer Options and looking for Demo mode - could be something as simple as toggling this on/off?
Peace...

Well the phone finally arrived back after so long , It's apparently a special "ex-display" firmware or something like that.
Build number: EVA-L09C652B118
Here?
Peace.

That was the one I had downloaded originally, but it was nice to have the validation that it was the right one, worked perfect!
Cheers Chris, It feels like the end of an era with all the **** this phone put me through, thank you!
I have the same problem. Someone can tell me exactly what to do.

Replacing Malaysia Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (N9208) with Note 5 N920t motherboard

Hello there, beginner here, my current phone note 5 motherboard was dead, (checked by phone shop). I'm learning to fix my phone by myself. But I found out there's little different between logic board model and its price.
I would like to have senior advice about the effect, will it affect the phone function to make calls if I insist to buy the cheap logic board to use back the phone?
Appreciate for any replies and helps!
Thank You!

Should I buy it? Savable or trash?

Good evening friends!
I'm on the hunt for a new smartphone and found something interesting in eBay.
Please give me your opinion on if I should bid on this device, or not!
It's the 128GB 6GB RAM variant in quite good condition.
The seller states that
Android 10 installation couldn't be completed.
The installation process stops after a short time
Device reboots by itself

Also that
WIFI and mobile data are not available

I've read that on one hand that it's hardware/soldering issue,
and on the other hand that it might be just a software/firmware issue.
I've lots of experience in flashing all kinds of phones, including the Xiaomi Note 7 Pro (probably) of a friend.
So given I can unlock the bootloader and something can be done in software, I'm pretty sure I could do it.
Also I probably could open the device up and try to fix the mainboard.
Has anyone ever tried reflowing the mainboard?
Otherwise maybe I could replace the mainboard, if financially viable.
So please tell me if I should bid on it, and how much you reckon it might be worth!
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!
My advice is to get a working phone. Instead of one where u have to repair. A working mi 8 is not expensive nowadays
