ok, so i was trying to use gps on my phone to get somewhere, and had to use my parents tom tom instead becauae the phone reboot every time gps got a signal after about 10 seconds, then the phone started to just reboot when trying to text my friend and say my phone keeps rebooting.
then after one final reboot the phone stopped turning on completely.
i tried plugging the phone into the computer and running SEUS and it doesnt even detect the phone.
i've tried taking out batteries, swapping batteries with a friend's phone, and leaving the battery out overnight.
what now? should i call rogers and get a replacement?

You'd have been better leaving it plugged in all night to make sure the battery wasn't just playing up. Plug it in for an hour on mains and if you get no where after that I'd give them a ring.
Yep, and if thay doesn't work, it's dead Jim.

Warranty time homey
A few of my friends with debranded x10s on rogers got an OTA update yesterday that bricked them.
Reflash using SEUS or the java flash tool. If that doesn't work it's warranty time.
Edit, oh damn if you can't get it to detect at all (or flash mode by holding back with it completely off and plugging it into usb) then it is warranty time for sure. Another of my friends did that -- his replacement should arrive Monday. Just call them up.

Hi,
I have an x10 on contract from three mobile (uk) and after i got it, i rooted it and changed it to the generic firmware before updating to 2.1.
Last week the speaker in the top of the phone broke (really distorted and crackly) so i was going to put the original firmware back on before i sent it off...
But.. a week later, i have had another problem.. it will not turn on or charge! LED flashed red three times and would not charge at all (pc usb or wall plug). Believe this was because the battery is completely drained.. is it just a faulty battery or has the motherboard bust or charging circuit ect? (like all the stuff i read on google haha) is there any other way to fix this?
I have phoned 3 up and they said i can send it back for repair under warranty. My question is, will they notice that the firmware has been changed? (as i know that this voids the warranty?) It is NOT rooted, only the firmware is changed.
I'm worried they will notice and will not repair it ect.. :S
Many thanks

Unless they can get it to switch on I doubt they will notice, that and they send them off for repair so unless they are very clear whats supposed to be on it with the repair shop it should be okay.
3 might just send a new one If it looks to be beyond repair,
Hope this helps

To be on the safe side, I would flash the original operator firmware before shipping it off. You can find the original operator firmware here.
I purchased a P500 last month and after two days the phone went dead. I didn't even use it. After two days of being a drawer I turned it on and the screen was stuck on the LG logo. It would not move past that and I couldn't turn it off via the power button. I connected it to my computer and realized I had to download drivers for the phone and did so along with the LG Mobile Updater. I took the battery out of the phone for a few hours and when I came back and put it back in, it did the same thing. This continued for a couple of days. I came to this forum and read about many having the same problem. I tried to connect the phone to the computer but windows still did not recognize the phone, even after installing the drivers. I got the phone into emergency mode and only then did windows recognize it. I then tried to update the phone with LG's Mobile Update, hoping this would restore it to normal and during the update the software froze up, the phone, my computer, mouse--everything. I couldn't do anything. Afraid I might tear up the phone (and my computer) I left it connected hoping that at some point the update would resume on it's own. The next day everything was still frozen! I still couldn't do anything so I disconnected the phone and restarted my computer. My computer is fine, my phone is dead. It will not turn on or take a charge. I know that before hand the battery was full, but even if it wasn't the phone will not even light up when connected to the charger or computer. An even bigger problem is that this model, the P500 is not sold in the US, where I live. It came from Thailand. US division of LG says that it is a UK model and they cannot fix it. They gave me the number to UK's division of LG, who is saying they cannot fix it b/c it's out of region and if they touch it, that voids the warranty. I'd have to send it to someone in the UK so THEY can send it in to be repaired. I don't know anyone in the UK. This sucks b/c it's their software that froze and blew everything. This is a brand new phone. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? The phone won't even go into emergency mode now.
Was it a branded phone? Orange Vodafone? I'm just curious, this is a hardware fault for sure. The only thing I think you can do is to jump start the battery at a phone repair shop, and if it doesn't work change the terminal.
P.S. 90% of branded phones are refurbished(the low price explication), that's why I asked in the firs pace.

Not that I know of. Nothing says Vodafone on the box it came in. It says LG P500. Doesn't say Vodafone anywhere on the phone either. It (was) running Android 2.1.
I'm trying to fix my friend's HTC amaze (wind). The screen wasn't turning on but I know that the device itself is on because the computer detects it. I was suddenly able to get it working by reflashing the stock ruu. Then I got everything working rooted it and unlocked the bootloader and installed quicksense. Then I gave it back to my friend and he put his sim card into it and tried to turn it back on but then the screen suddenly didn't show anything again and the light at the bottom shows which is strange. I'm not sure how to diagnose it. My friend got the phone from his friend who got scammed and the phone isn't under warranty. Thanks.

It may not have warranty from the carrier but it does have the warranty from HTC. Call HTC and you send the phone it to them. They'll fix it and send it back. I did that multiple times. I bought HD2s from eBay and I called HTC. They fixed the phone for me.
Hi There,
Last month I was on a trip and I took lots of pictures and video of family of family, and filled up my SD card. I switched to internal memory since I didn't have a computer at the time.
I was using my phone on the kitchen table reading a wikipedia article and the screen turned off (automatically). I pressed a button to turn it back on so I could continue reading, and nothing happened. I pressed the power, the home, everything, but got no response from the phone.
I pulled the battery and put it back in, and still got nothing. I have a few spare batteries (and my girlfriend has the same phone so I knew they were fine), and was unable to even get a boot screen.
I pulled the phone in and tried turning it on this way. I felt the area next to the camera get warm, but was still unable to see any other signs of life out of it.
I plugged the phone into my computer as a next step, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I pressed the power button, the area got warm, but still my computer refused to recognize anything.
I called Bell, and they said there was nothing they could do, but since I had phone insurance, I could get it replaced. I asked them about my pictures, and they said they couldn't do anything to save them.
I called Samsung, and as I was travelling in the US, I got the US Samsung, which, upon hearing the model number, told me to call Samsung UK. I thought that was weird, so I called Samsung Canada through my VoIP account, and they told me to call a local dealer.
I called the local dealer, but they told me they only serviced printers. I called back, and they sent me to Samsung Service Absolut, some outfit in Montreal that services Samsung phones and apparently other things as well. They transferred me around, and told me that they couldn't help me, since the phone seemed to be dead.
I'm trying to locate somebody that can help me get my data from my phone. I've tried contacting a few people, but they told me they couldn't help.
Does anybody here know how to help me?
Thanks!!!!
EDIT: I tried a USB jig and got nothing, no screen, ODIN didn't detect it, my computer didn't detect it (WIndows and Linux both, multiple computers)
Strange...
Give a Try to USB Jig

Nope no JTag attempts, how does that work? I believe generally there's a JTag port or something isn't there? Or does it go work via the USB plug?
Just Go to Any Good Mobile Repairing & jTagging Shop

I have unlocked my bootloader for P769, brought Feb 2013 from T-mobile and running AntonX's CM 10.1.
This morning, the phone went dead. Symptom now: the phone appears to be off (no screen, no led light), not responding to power or home key, not responding to charging or connect to a PC. I already tried take out battery and then put it back: nothing.
This phone looks somehow defective once I installed CM: it was never able to run at 1200 MHz even if I increase voltage. After some experiment, I settled with most default settings from AntonX's CM 10.1: 300 MHz min 1008 MGz max frenquency, a little bit under-voltage (comes with CM 10.1, no further tinkering form me), 600 MGz max frenquency when the screen is off (seems to be more stable comparing to leave this setting unchanged, as occasionally the phone reboots by itself), no OC on GPU.
Anyone would like to suggest what should I do? I can try LG's warranty since the phone is less than 1 year old, but they might reject it as the bootloader is unlocked, and not it is loaded with CM (no way for me to even flash back to stock as nothing indict it will turn on). Any other thing I should try? Thanks.
I guess they won't try repairing it as its under warranty.. they might just replace it immediately. Unlocked bootloader = warranty void btw.
Thanks. I probably will try my luck with LG repair service.
Just find out that, with the battery out, connect USB to a Windows computer will result in device "omap4430" continuously show up then disappear. But is it disappear in seconds, no way for me to use fastboot to flash anything. With the battery in, even this won't show up.
Well I'm using my replacement. The last one had an unlocked bootloader too. Sounds like my last L9 had the same issue is yours. None could detect that my phone had an unlocked bootloader cause it was completely dead, as in like hardbricked. I don't even know how it happened, i was running a Wind Mobile rom. It just died out of nowhere. I took it to a T-Mobile store and they put another battery in it. They tried to charge it, nothing worked. So they sent me a replacement

Thanks. I will try that too. :good:
I have talked with my local T-mobile store. Being a prepaid customer, I have to mail the phone to TMO before they can give me a replace (in a couple of working days). I have mailed my dead phone in. Cost me $5. Hoping things goes well (they don't reject the exchange as I have CM 10.1 on the phone). Figures corssed!

You could have probably still wiped it with the unofficial fastboot. Anyways, it shouldn't matter. They should replace it.
