Hi
I've installed MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE, everything went fine, got to the setup screen, etc and soft reset before it started the auto config. Phone went dead, not charging from the wall charger, no bootloader, no lights or anything.
The battery had more than 50% before installing the ROM so I doubt the battery is dead.
Any ideas?
Thanks
This is a friend's phone BTW.
I've just tried my own phone's battery and still no luck. It's completely unresponsive and won't switch on.
It doesn't make sense because the phone booted up without any problems at all but died after soft resetting.

Mr. clean has the following IPL/SPL: 2.24
It was never meant for G4 devices.
If you have flashed that to your friends phone: you are in for some realy bad news..
The IPL/SPL from this rom are not compatible to the G4, it will brick the device.
The first boot good but second boot dead is typical..
This is realy bad news, because we haven't found a way to restore the bootloader.

Urgh, thanks.
I've given him my Kjam since it's my fault. The phone might still be under warranty so he'll take it back this week and see what they have to say.
I could kick myself!!!

Hi All,
My Prophet just died...
I made a RadioROM upgrade and after a reboot I did an IPL upgrade. I did a soft reset and now it doesn't want to turn on. I'm really confused what did I make wrong and how can I redo it.
I'm looking forward to a helpful info.
Thanks
Does your screen stay black or does it display anything? Can you enter bootloader? And why would you want to upgrade your IPL???
My screen is dark black, I can not even turn it on. I doesn't matter what sort of switch I press on the dev. So I can't see the bootloader and I think it's a serious problem...
After the IPL upgrade the reboot was succesful and on the startup screen it says IPL 2.20.0001 and worked for a while.
I've changed my local settings, which reqiures a soft reset, so I did it. After this, no aswer...
I'm very dissapointed because of the pda and your help dear all...
Is your battery dead? Try it with your charger.
No, my battery was fully charged before I ran into this major problem...
I had a similar issues which was misteriously resolved after a few plug ins and battery removals. I also let the battery completely drain and removed it from phone for a few hours. It worked when connected to wall charger but not with battery. It seemed like interior phone battery was dead. One day I connected it to the wall charger and the battery status when from zero to 98% and it stayed there. Really weird stuff. I ordered another battery and so far so good. One of the batteries did die and i discarded it, but I still use the other old battery plus I have a new spair.
Yamilrx, thanks the info...
I'll try it, but I've lost my faith in this device. It's in clinical dead state for 2 days from now, and it looks like doesn't want to wake up or alive.
This is a very misteroius issue.
I don't understand it, if I upgraded wrongly somebody tell me, why was the device started after? And if it was a wrong update, how can I turn it on and make calls, etc. and after a soft reset it DOESN'T reply for anything?!
I bought it almost 2 years ago, so I assume the battery could cause similar problem. But it was almost fully charged. The Star Wars was less incredible then this thing...
Except this, I'll accept your advice. I'm going to try it.
try the following, as your device is dead and curently noy useable.
-remove the battery for a day and just leave it there
- put in the battery and connect the charger
- hold your camera button while turning the device on
do you get into the 3 colored screen? if so, the device can now be downgraded etc.
particular reason why you have not tried a HARD reset?

Thanks, I'll try it first after go to a shop and buy a battery.
Anyway, when I mentioned I've tried all the combinations of the buttons, I meant i did a hard reset too. But my Spleeping Beauty is still doing the same...
The problem hasn't been solved by the solutions you have mentioned before, so I've called the HTC technical support, they were very friendly - they must be because I'll pay for it - and 2 days from now they will tell me how much does it costs or it is repairable or not...
Thanks for your help.

I did that with mine to see if it would reset device once the internal battery is totally discharged. Like I said earlier, mine came back to live. Make sure you install the WM 5 rom used for downgrading and don't try any of the WM 6 roms until the device is fully functional with wm5. The batteries are $8 on ebay but they take 1 week to get here from Hong Kong.
If winter comes,can sping be far away?
Hi All,
The service technician examined my Prophet and he said, I have to change a mainboard. Have you ever run into this kind of problem? If I want a repair, it'd cost me 300 Euro!!
Luckily I still have a warranty, so I hope I don't have to pay for the service.
Take care your Prophet...
No matter the rom i'd flash... the phone in quick period of time goes white (like after Soft spl)...have to make several SR and remove the battery for a short while for it to work properly again...

I'd guess something to do with the hardware...
I can think of no software issue that would cause that, especially not with different ROMs.

1. 80% hardware problem, main board screen cable CONNECTOR bad connection ( I hope so),
- the screen needs to be reset, by remove/disconnect the screen cable and reconnect after 1 minute.
be careful WHILE HANDLING the fragile heat-seal type ribbon cable ...
GOOD LUCK ~~~ ^^

IPL/SPL shouldn't cause that! I suspect hardware...
If you go into bootloader, does it display normally?
well it showed...yesterday i tried to flash nvid...the progress went to 45% and then received an erroror and rebooted itself...after that the device wont switch on...i suspect the battery to be totally discharged... i tried to charge it but it does not...

My friend I had exactly the same problem with my old prophet.solution:send it back to htc.it was on warranty.they give me a new one.that is an hardware failure.sorry friend
Hi, i have a problem. I had to remove my microsd card from the phone so i removed the battery and then i put the battery in the phone again. When i tried to start the phone it didn't work anymore. I tried hard reset buttons but it didn't help, i also connected it to energy outlet but i still got black screen. I flashed my phone a couple of months ago, i'm running (don't know excatly which) version of litening rom, 2.3.3.
Please i need some help what to do, i hope the phone isn't completely bricked. I handled the phone very carefully, I haven't even dropped it yet
sry for bad english i'm in a hurry
I had a problme flashing my sgs2 and it was impossible to turn it off. I removed the battery and I could turn it on again. I change the battery for a new one and it worked. The following day I put the first battery again and it worked. I don´t know why but it´s better no to remove the battery while the phon is on!!
So I got my Amaze on Friday, rooted and installed Energy Rom on Saturday, and phone just died on me on Sunday.
I was in the middle of playing Scramble with Friends and phone froze up on me. I had to take the batter out to reset it since the power button was not responsive. After I pulled the battery and put it back in, the phone would turn on.
So i read and read and found out people usually bought new batteries since the most likely culprit was a dead battery. I have a friend with the same phone and tried his battery. I saw the HTC Logo come on for a brief second and then that was it, nothing else. Phone died again and did not turn on (under his batter). I recharged my battery in his phone and tried that as well, but no luck.
Any ideas what went wrong and what I can do to fix this?
The phone is completely dead and not turning on. So that means I can't get into bootloader and recovery.
About Phone:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP recovery
Faux Kernel
ENERGY Rom
Any incite on this would be great. Thanks in advance!
Plug it in to the wall charger for 30-45min. Unplug and pull battery again. Put battery back in and you should be good...
Don't be alarmed if the orange led light flashes... It's normal when the phone dies. Be happy you're using twrp and not an old recovery that doesn't have charging while off

Thanks, i actually read those threads before i posted. I think there are more threads about that but i tried all options and none seemed to work. I will try plugging it in the wall and pulling battery out but the battery is at a 100% charge right now (i can confirm from a friends phone). However, if its just a glitch, then i will try the wall charger trick.
Thanks.

Once you get it booted, I recommend 4EXT recovery... But that's just my opinion

Thanks - tried the battery solution but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. Phone just refuses to power up.
Assuming its an official brick.
i have a similar problem, well my battery had charged and running fine for several months, so i unplugged the battery to put my sim on it, and plug it back in when it was booting up it froze on the boot logo, so i took off the battery again so i can reboot it
and ever since it wont come back on, wont either go to the bootloader, so i let it charged all night and nothing happen no led blinking or on, so got my friends amaze's battery to test and it would not do anything at either, right now i am waiting for my replacement, but i hate the fact that this had happen to me
oh wow - well i ordered a replacement as well. I really hope it doesn't come down to a software issue and they don't end up covering the device since it has been rooted.
If the phone is completely dead and non-booting, there's no way for T-Mobile to determine if it's rooted or not. Only until it gets back to HTC to be refurbished could they (HTC) find out but at that point it won't matter to anyone anyhow.
And it couldn't possibly be a software issue. There's something physically defective inside the device that caused it to die.

hi all, i'm a newbie here, though i have always loved the XDA. I unlocked my bootloader last night, downloaded and reinstalled my fav apps since i didnt do a backup. while i was downloading the XDA app, my fone freezed and eventually went off. When i tried to get it back on, it got stuck on the white htc screen and later went off after some seconds. It has refused to come on till the time of this post. i really need urgent advice.
I was yet to install a recovery software before the tragedy occurred.
My phone was working perfectly fine until yesterday, when I went to the pool and carelessly left my mobile phone near some humid/wet clothes. When I got my hands on it, it was /working/ or so it seemed yet I couldn't put the SIM code to unlock it. It then restarted and got stuck in a bootloop.
I removed the battery, checked the Water Damage stickies and everything seemed fine, but still wasn't working. Today I got home and dropped my phone in rice (I heard it's good in order to absord water and such) and after a while I removed it, put the baterry in but now it just gets stuck on the boot screen.
I tried going into recovery, was able to, but can't surf through the menu because volume keys don't seem to work.
Any ideas what is wrong with my device? Any suggestion for a new phone if my phone doesn't come back from the dead?
Technical data?:
Unlocked with HTCDev Unlocker, rooted, and flashed CM7.1 with no problems before.
Two year old device.
Bump and extra info about my problem.
I left my phone discharging it's battery and seeing if anything worked okay. This morning it was off and wouldn't turn on, so I put it to charge.
After some hours, I got it's LED green so I tried and turned it on. It did, but still didn't pass the Cyanogenmod bootscreen, so I tried going into Recovery, and it worked! Now I'll try to tinker it, and see if I can get it fixed.
So, if anyone out there has the same problem I have, they should try killing their battery and charging it to 100%. It seems the battery malfunctioned or is almost dead, but a man can wish and see if he can repair his gadgets.
Glad to hear it's fixed! I'm sure many others would feel the same way about your recommended remedy!

Thanks!
When I had access to the Recovery I backed up my phone and wiped dalvik and cache, then re-installed Cyanogenmod (now upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2) but I'm currently considering switching to another ROM, like an ICS'
Everything works fine, except the SIM, but I believe that's a problem on my own end (network not working)
