Hey everybody !!
It's not the first time i upgraded my G4... everytime I followed RISIDOROS step by step tutortial and it worked fine (didn't modify the ipl/spl) thnx for that by the way !!
Well but since i wasn't using crossbow I decided to upgrade again. This time I tried to use Farias step by step guide for upgrading G4's
I got to step 3 (Shelltool) the problem was that my device showed an error message that it couldn't open some exe file. and stopped. while the shelltool said the ROM was written fine!
so I didn't hard reset, I simply disconected the usb cable and conected it again and tried again, but Shelltool would stop responding!!
The o2 mini s .. still showed the first splash screen but got stuck there. IPL and SPL unmodified!
I thought the best way to repair the phone would be to simply put the O2 original Rom on again.
but It showed a conection problem. So i took out the battery and turned it on again... again i got stuck on the splash screen!!
When pressed the soft reset the device turned itself off but didn't start again .. so one more time I took out the battery and it turned back on and got stuck on the splash screen
so I took the battery out for the third time and tried everything to force bootloader.
camera + on button
voice + camera + soft reset
camera + soft reset
but nothing ... after taht the phone is simply dead
since the phone started 2 times I don't think it\s totally bricked, could it be that the battery is just to weak ?? It doesn't charge when I plug it via USB .. please HELP
Have you the Dockingstation? Use them to Charge it or use a other Lithium Polymere Charger. I think it isnt Bricked only a damage OS Partition. After Charging ... you must only reflash with your Provider Firmware and try again to Flash a other Rom.
For now I only have the PC usb cable...
Is there some way to connect the battery directly to a AC adaptor that produces 13 VOLTS ??
first off,hallo
i recently flashed my radio rom to spl-1.66.hspl and it ran fine for a month or so.
but since yesterday it won't turn on unless i putt it in my cradle, then it gives the htc boot screen,shows the bootscreen with some numbers and then it shuts down and repeats the cycle....
i can put it in bootloader mode and i can give it a hard reset but i can't get a reguler boot.
i think it can be fixed to restore the original radio rom but i don't know how to to that without having active sync running
thank's for any help
(btw i'm dutch so there may be some text error's)
first thing to check would be the battery connectors. (a fair few people have bent battery pins, which causes the phone to get stuck in reboot cycle)
i recently flashed my radio rom to spl-1.66.hspl

This desnt make sense, did you flash the radio, the rom, or hspl? (three different things)
If you can get into bootloader and it is stable then wait for serial to become USB and try flashing a new rom. (dont forget for higher version roms you probably need to change the radio too, , , to begin with i'd use a stock rom.)
i just fixed it, it was the connecter to the battery (internal) that was bend, this probely happend when i took out the battery last night because i turned it off to save power but it kept turning on...
thanks for the help
First of all sorry for my english not good.

I'm search on google and in this forum not have some one face problem same as me please help me to fix this.
Any body please help me, I'm love it because now we can run both WM. and Android
Upppp waiting for your help
Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

I use ORT
Did you check to make sure your radio version was correct before flashing? This is probably the number one reason for bricking.
Check this thread it may help you if you did the flash properly:

i got same problem now...
no screen, no boot, vol down+ power oso same
no screen just a long vibration
anybody help?
I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Silly question, but are you holding (and keep on holding) the Volume-Down button while you press the power button?
of course YES
i told you i have been flashing for so long
Leo from T-Mobile. Hi! I've got same problem. After flashing new (next) rom phone definetely died. Phohe is currently simfree and with HSPL. Only one reaction is short vibration after press power button. I searched everywhere. My phone has no bootloader but system see him as Qualcom CDMA Technologies MSM. Thats all, any ideas? Please and thanks for advice.

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.
What rom? exact filename please.
thank you so much.
I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

ROM_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-66.

The full filename for that rom is
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Si gned_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")
Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 with Cyagenmod 6 (gingerbread 2.3.3) but it's broken. It won't boot any more. Some days ago it just went out, and it won't start up again. The phone behaves as if it freezes the moment android should load. Like if your computer would freeze in bios, unable to load your operating system.
I'm also not able to repair it with SEUS because although it recognizes the phone, it can't reset because the phone freezes just before the stage in witch it can reset.
I am kind of a noob with these things and therefore hope one of you guys could help me out. I'm not really looking foreward te buying a new phone already
Thanks!
Freekh

i'm removing battery, put back and after holding power the phone shows green led for short time and vibrates for a sec and that's.

This is what happened to mine what country u in
sent with a geordie kiss using wb 2.3.3
what do you mean with "country"?

umm.. Do u move your mobile when the flashing process is going on? The xperia USB slot is pretty sensitive. Moving the phone can cause it to lose connection and abort the flashing process
28/048/2011 21:48:10 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
i always receive this error if i move my phone.
Notice if you hear the USB device unplug sound from your PC before this error occurs.

it doesnt seem to be a connection-problem (no usb unplug sounds).
it seems that the phone is in a state, where bootup is not possible
But the phone is not required to boot during flashing. Did you try changing the USB slot on your PC? The one you're connecting your phone to? Try another slot. Sometimes that works too.

same result. can't flash
Me too. Can't flash with Flashtool (latest version), even without moving my phone. It starts flashing, but the progress bar shows of no progress. After a while it just says Error - Abort Flashing. I tried all of my USB port, but nothing changes.
after doing and trying my battery got completely drained (red led blinking) so i left it on the wallcharger for ~1day..
then at sometime it managed to boot up itself.. i left it for charging till 100%
after that i did a few "wipe battery stats" in xrecovery and now it seems to work stable again..
is it possible that messed up battery stats could cause the problem?
Wow, that would be nice.
A question! Was the little led on while charging? Because when I put my phone in the loader, it turns green (as if the battery is completely empty) and after a while it just goes off (when it would normally turn red). Do you have that to?
Putting my phone in the loader now, and waiting till tomorrow! Hope this helps!
yea, i've noticed this with my phone too..
strange led behavior..try to plug the charger first (green led turns on, cant say whether its charging or doing anything else) and then put in the battery and wait
maybe you're lucky and the phone will boot
and report pls
I didn't work. I've put my phone in the loader for over 24 hours, but nothing happened.
But my phone wasn't completely drained. Perhaps that is a condition to make this work. The only question is, how do I drain my battery when I can't turn on my phone?
i have used an 5watt light bulb ^^
connected on + and - and then waited till light goes out
Wel, I connected a little lamp and waited until it went out. Then when I put my battery in my phone and pressed the ON button nothing happend, not even the green light flashing shortly.
When I put my phone in the loader the LED started flashing red. And that whent on for a while until it stoped, and the LED did nothing. Then I waited over 24 hours, but nothing has happend.
When I put my phone in the loader now, it's just like before, the green light burns a little while, then nothing..
it happened to me again.. freeze and then no boot.
but i think i know whats wrong. for my phone i can say, that the battery is ok and the rom/os aswell.
its hardware problem. something is screwed up inside the phone.
when i press the phone at randomly places and hold it + then pushing on-button it boots up
i will open it tomorrow
Hi,
I am posting here for the first time here, even though I have been following and enjoying XDA for many years.
But for now I am looking for some advice/help to troubleshoot the phone of my child
and here are the details you sould know about :
- Phone model : Ulefone Metal 4G (not the Lite version)
- Problem description : Screen is black and nearly nothing is responding... no back light, no touch response, no led/screen while charging (usb to pc or direct charging).
This happened after plugging the phone on my car to charge and at that time the phone freezed on the ulefone logo screen, but never made it to the android interface. we then stopped the phone by pressing power a long time, but since that time the phone looks like dead.
- What I have tried so far :
~ start in recovery mode : by pressing VolUp+Power, I managed a few times to come to a screen with the following options
===> recovery
===> fastboot
===> normal
this is my only hope and the reason why I am asking for your help, but sadly none of these options are working and each time screen goes black after pressing the VolDown button to choose the option.
~ since I had this screen, I thought the problem might be with a corrupted partition (bootloader or any other needed at the beginning).
so I followed the steps to get the phone connected via USB and use the SP Flash Tool (I read both XDA posts and this one https://tehnotone.com/sp-flash-tool...installation-guide-including-bricked-devices/)
I installed the drivers, downloaded the TWRP recovery to try with something and so far so good I am all set to flash...
but when I start the process with "Download" and then plug the device.... NOTHING happens, the phone is never recognized.
~ I also watched some videos on how to disassemble the device, but I would only do that only if this my last chance.
This is where I am stucked so far, and right now I can't even go back to the "boot" screen with the 3 options.
Anybody already had a similar experience on this phone (or another one) ?
Any idea what I can try to troubleshoot ?
Any hope for the phone ?
Thank your for your help :angel:
Anybody out there with an idea what to do ?
You may have overloaded the battery, in which case the only option is to replace it by disassembling it and then replacing the old battery with a replacement one. Did you plug it into a cigarette lighter adapter or just a usb port? There are various things that could have gone wrong here, but I need to know the answer to the question above first.
Hi,
i am sorry I didn't check for your answer, but I finally did what you were suggesting :
disassemble phone and change some parts.
This is what I did exactly :
I first replaced the battery to realize that the problem was with the board in which you plug the usb cable and which purpose is to recharge the battery itself.
