I've had a read through the forum, but cant seem to see anything that matches my problem. Apologies in advance if there was something which i missed. So here goes:
A friend of mine upgraded my Mda vrio II yesterday with the TNT Wm6 rom, its the one he uses, so I went with that. The upgrade went fine, and I actually quite liked the TNt rom as it was quite nippy. However, the next day I noticed a bug in it. It would reboot when I slided out the keyboard. I thought a hard reset would solve the problem, but it didn't. After the hard reset I slid out the keyboard to check if the problem was still there, and what do you know it went blank like usal...BUT instead of restarting, it just stayed blank and from then on it fails to start!! There seems to be no power at all. I tried to hard reset it again without any success. I connected the charger to see if the amber/green light comes on, but nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do to revive it? ANy help would be much appreciated.
ANy one have nay suggestions?
Dead battery?
Nope..its not a dead battery. I tried my mates working battery..and its still dead!!
Any more suggestions?
Reflash with a different ROM or a ROM you know works. If you still have issues then its probably a hardware problem of some sort with the keyboard.

I would reflash if i could...but the phone doesn't even start up. I connected it to to my computer usb to see if i can connect via active sysnc, but nothing. Seems like its totally dead.
Sorry, missed the point about you not being able to switch it on.
Have you tried taking the battery out and leaving the phone without a battery overnight to see what happens? Might just work.
There was a debate on here a while back about being able to power a phone from the charger without the battery in it. Clutching at straws really but search around to see if you can find that thread. I guess if you can get power to the phone then you can look at other options like a reflash, if you suspect the rom.
Don't know what else to advise, I'm afraid. Hopefully someone will come along soon with a gem of an answer.
Good luck.

Wacky - I've left the battery out of the phone for couple of hours but not overnight..something to try I guess. As for the charger being able to power the phone on...ill try that as well.
I just can't understand how the TNT rom can mess up a phone to the point where it doesn't start up when it installed successfully, or supposedly installed successfully in this case. I wonder if anyone else who installed TNT had a similar problem..hmm. I cant even seem to find the tnt thread to check..lol.
Bummer! I have had the TNT V2.0 for about 8 weeks with no major lockups or hard resets. I did not notice any problem posts on 'its rights' TNT thread like yours 'pulling out the keyboard'. This is one of the best Roms that I have flashed (I have the Hermes 8525 not the MDA).
Hi all,
As the title says, I can't get Sense to load. Any help/advice, preferably me not having to HR, would be much appreciated.
Here's a bit of background info: Yesterday afternoon I noticed my phone was running very low on battery power, I think it was down to 3%, fortunately I was at home so it wasn't a problem.
I plugged the phone into the wall charger and left it. About 4 hours later I went to unplug the phone expecting to find a fully charged up battery. However, the phone was turned off, I very rarely turn my phone off. Puzzlement followed for a second or two until I realised I hadn't switched the plug switch on. What a dummy!!!
Therefore, the phone had powered down through having no battery power. Sense has not loaded since. Would this cause Sense not to load??
I've had a prior problem with Sense not loading and I did a Hard Reset, I couldn't see what else I could do.
But I'm hoping someone quite a lot more knowledgeable than myself maybe knows a way round this without resorting to a HR.
Thanks for any help.
Anyone please?
If you still have the origional ROM running i would say bring it back to the shop from which you got it from and let them repair it
Otherwise i would say try to install HSPL and push another ROM to your phone so that will repair the fault. Installing ROMS wont take to long

Thx for the reply.
Yes I'm still running original ROM although I updated the original 1.43 ROM to 1.72 via the HTC website. I don't yet feel brave enough to flash a custom ROM. Although this might be the right time to do it now. However, if there is anyone who may know a workaround for this without having to flash a custom ROM or hard reset, I would be very grateful.
Thx.
This is not a useful post but i had the same on mine, and had the same update line as you. Out of interest were you running GTX when the freeze happened?
Both times i had to done to me was on the GTX theme, atm not running it due to the effort of reinstalling everything after a HR, i feel your pain!

No GTX theme on my phone and the phone didn't actually freeze. As mentioned in my original post, the problem has come about. I think, due to the phone powering off through lack of battery power. This was due to me not switching the plug switch on after having put the phone on charge.
Thx for the suggestion anyway.

That happened to me couple days ago. Tried everything but nothing helped. Had to hard reset in the end.
I RUU'd to Jan2012 OTA update, unlocked with HTCDev.com, installed AmonRa, rooted using AmonRa and everything has been fine....for about four days. Then yesterday, after using IM+ Free for a few days and liking it, I decided to buy the Pro version. Coincidentally, my extended battery was running out and I didn't have time to charge it at work, so I powered down, removed the battery, put my charged stock battery in and voila...boot loop. No signal at unlock screen, sits for 10 seconds, and reboots. I can do a factory wipe and it will boot, but if I restore anything...data only, system only, secure only...all 3, 2 of 3...doesn't matter...issue returns. Anyone know why this might be happening?
It's because you can't post in the right section!
Have you tried wiping and flashing a Rom? Not restoring
Edit: its probably because of a bad backup or because of the ota, its been known to bootloop

Can a Mod please move this to general?
OT: Check the bootloop thread that will more than likely give you the answer you're looking for.

My apologies for posting in the wrong section.
My concern is that it was running fine, and then suddenly wasn't when nothing but an app install (IM+) was done. I don't want to go through setting everything up again only to lost it all again four days from now.
I am having similar issues as you are. Tried to charge a 3.8v stock battery overnight and it bootlooped all night long. It seemed like it settled down after putting back in my 3.7v extended. So I called HTC and created a rma for the battery, no big deal.
Then today listening to music while the phone is in the dock i had a few reboots/bootloops, noticed some odd stuff in logcat so I did a reset permissions in recovery. Seems better so far compared to before where it would only take a few minutes to bootloop.
*mine is not the network issue, but good to hear you fixed yours

Yes, sounds similar...however, I ran my stock battery for about two weeks with no issues, and ran the extended battery for a good month with no issues, and even ran fine for a few weeks after htcdev.com unlock, AmonRA flash and rooting took place. This all came about out of the blue.
Right now, I am attempting to use the guide specified concerning connecting to the wrong type of network. I'll update when finished.

UPDATE: That worked. It was a communication issue, the phone had changed it's connection preferences. The sad part is that I've been without a phone for almost a day over this, and flashed all kinds of kernels and recoveries, and even considered going back to Verizon for a replacement. The even sadder part is that I already knew of this fix and completely forgot about it. Thanks a MILLION to MrSmith317, not only for directing me to the fix, but also for not bashing me for accidentally posting in the wrong area of the forum.
Hey, guys, I know there are a lot of these issues with a lot, if not all, of the HTC smartphones, but I've only seen a few of these for the HTC Radar, and they all seem to give the same answers. Hopefully my explanation of the problem will help!
So, I got the phone thanksgiving weekend 2011, so I've had it for about a year. One day around the beginning of April this year, my phone randomly began a restarting loop, where it would gradually restart itself from a blank white screen over and over, then it went to the HTC screen over and over, and then periodically switched between the HTC screen and the black "Windows Phone" load screen over and over again. I tried taking off the battery cover and leaving it for a couple of minutes and then hours, but I put it back and it just kept rebooting. I was left without a phone for about two days.
On the second day, I put it on the charger and left it in my dorm while I was in class all day, and when I came back, it was rebooting still, but I noticed that it always made it to the "Windows Phone" logo loading screen and then restarted. After about 4 reboots, it went back to normal and I was able to use the phone. After the next couple of months, it stopped doing it in such a long period of time, but the battery usage went up almost 30-40% than what it used to be. Once in a while, it would reboot once, but then it would be back to normal.
This time, in late October, it started the reboot thing again, but this time, only going up to the HTC screen and looping that. I tried taking the battery cover off again and leaving it for hours, but same problem now. So I decided to leave it off for a day. By this time, I had my HTC Desire HD as backup, but it was unlocked, and at the time when I bought it, I didn't know anything about HSDPA numbers, so I could use my T-Mobile SIM, but no mobile network, since it's a Telus/AT&T phone.
I tried charging it, but this time, it lasted for a whole week. After rebooting over and over, it would last 3 hours, then stop because the battery would die out. So I just left it, and left it, and weeks went by, and my warranty had long since expired, so I couldn't go to HTC about this. I even called them to see what I could do, and they told me to do a Factory Reset, well... here is a list of the things I tried:
- IMAGE CRC: At first I didn't know what this was, and so I looked it up. After finding out what it was, I tried it, and I got two numbers: BL CRC-0xD19F79E1 and OS CRC-0x4CC706B. I looked those up on the internet and got nothing. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened at all. (If there was something else I was supposed to do here, please tell me!)
- Factory Reset: This was the LAST thing I wanted to do, but I had no choice and I tried it, hoping the error would be fixed. So I scrolled down to it, everything seemed to be normal, it gave me a warning, and I clicked it ... I was very suspicious of this, because as soon as I clicked "Factory Reset", it said "Reset complete. Press Volume Down to restart". I mean IMMEDIATELY after. Now, I KNOW that Factory Resets take much longer than an instant to actually have happened. But I restarted anyway. ... Nothing, still. I tried it several times after that, only to get the same result.
Those are the two options I tried, besides looking on the internet... if I can avoid buying a new Radar, I would like to, at all costs, because the next time I have a decent amount of money, I would like to save it for something else. Is there anything else I could try to resolve this issue, or at least gain more information on the problem?
Thank you all very much for reading my post!

May be it is a Hardware problem. Why you don't try to put HSPL and to cook custom rom ? I do this on mine few days ago and now the phone is more useful than before. I cooked HD2O ROM and till now working fine for me. When you change bootloader with HSPL may be it will work out if it is a Software problem. Also you need to change Radio Firmware other wise the device can not boot. When I am doing HSPL a few times phone just loop restarts and not start but after I do everything like it was in treads here and flash new radio the phone is working fine now. But may be there is a Hardware problem.

Thank you very much for responding! So just to be clear, how exactly do I go about flashing a ROM on the Radar, and a new radio? On Android phones, its much easier to root the device or simply place the ROM folder in there and make it work. I have no experience with doing this to a Radar, as I was previously led to believe that this was impossible. Should I just browse this forum?

Yes just browse this forum but only section about Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking. You will find DFT exclamation of how to install HSPL. In mine it was very easy because I not receive Country ID fail my phone was buy in Europe. If you receive Country ID error you need to proceed with goldcard it is explained there but first proceed without goldcard if it work it is very easy. Also when you proceed SPL2.05 it is not clear in the topic but you need to be in bootloader so you should start your phone with VolUp and VolDn keys pushed this is not explained in the topic and I waist a lot of time till figured out. After that just download one of the 7.8 ROMs here in Radar section and write it down. Also download new radio and use some RUU to put it on the phone before the ROM other wise the phone can not boot. Try and after that if you have problems write down here.
MY RADAR TURNED BACK ON! I don't know exactly what happened, but after a couple of reboots, the battery indicator flashed and then it rebooted twice until finally turning on the full amount.
Tonyco1 -- Thank you very much for staying with me and replying to my request! Although what you suggested is not needed for my booting issue, I'm going to try it anyway to see if I can actually boot 7.8! Thank you again.

OK but you need to but some custom ROM my phone turn back on when I put custom ROM a lot of features and works really good.
So I've had my Verizon LG G3 for almost two years now and was just about to get off the payment plan where my bill would go down by $23 a month and the good news was that I still really liked this phone and planned on keeping it. My son has the same phone and there are times he's running out of battery life, so I purchased one extra battery and external charger from LG...for only $20 total. Great deal...but now I'm regretting it.
About two weeks after switching out batteries at times, my phone started acting up. First it was 'SIM card not found', but a reboot usually fixed that. Then started the reboots...which eventually led to a boot-loop failure. Factory reset, and I'm back up an running for a few days, but then the problems started again. So after a few iterations of this, I decide to root the phone and load it up with CM13. I followed the tutorial on this site and it worked flawlessly. Within a few hours I was able to go down to 10B, root, and upgrade to CM13. The phone worked great.....for 3 days. Then the boot-loops started again.
Now if I try to reset the phone through TWRP, I get to the install process and the phone dies partway through. I even tried to use the LG Flash Tool to go back to stock, but after the process starts, I get to about 17% - 25% complete and my phone turns off...while plugged in.
Basically, I believe this thing got totally screwed up with the new battery somehow. I'll try send it in to LG, but of course its off warranty, so I'm not expecting much other than a charge to fix it. I'll let you know what they say.
If the cost is too high, or they won't fix it for free, I'm onto a new phone and it definitely will NOT be an LG. I'm thinking Google, Motorola or Samsung...not sure which one yet.
Advice to most...be very careful of switching batteries, even with OEM. That's when all the problems started for me.
Ignore me. [emoji12]
