Have you tried flashing to stock software using Sony Ericsson Tools?
Isn't that impossible without flash mode?

Just wondering are u new to flashing custom roms on x10?
i.e. do u understand what flash mode is?
Sorry to sound patronising.
Also have u actually tried using flashtool? Or better Sony Ericsson update service?

Does the screen light up at all when you put in a battery? If it lights up slightly but still is "black screen" then try this to get into flash mode: remove battery, insert usb, hold back button and keep holding while you replace the battery.

are you sure the batteries have a decent charge?
Im not new, and yes I know what flash mode is, no its all black screen, the batteries are either low or dead, either way the phone won't offline charge

try leaving it plugged in for a little bit with the battery in anyway, an hour or so. If you're on a custom rom it might still charge enough to get it into flash mode
ive been trying, its like it doesnt have a pluse, no response to anything at all!! I'm dieing right now because I need to flash a rogers ROM on it and its kapput, it's so weird. Why me..

seriously plug it in with the battery in and leave it alone for a while...
I know it's tempting to keep trying, but you'll just drive yourself batty. Best to leave it alone take a breather for an hour, go have a beer and hopefully by the time you get back it will be responsive

its probably your motherboard that has burned up so if you can't get three phone in flash mode you are kind of screwed right know and the only option you have is to send it for repair and hope for the best.

not really, if both batteries are dead it could easily be just that....
find an external charger or a friend with an extra x10 and try charging the batteries before trying!

all I'm saying is give it a shot before you send it away, worth trying to charge the batteries before going through all that trouble
try going in store to see if they might have an extra battery you can try, etc...
its been 5 hours
I think its motherboard, im sending it in with gingerbread... I hope its so messed they cant see gingerbread, I have less the minimum wadge so I'm ****ed if they findout... good bye mini laptop, ill miss you

I hear you can take the back cover off pull the battery and plug in the charger and you might get a light on the phone after a minute or two then with it still plugged in push the battery back and let sit over night.
You can also try this after 5 minutes with no light and leave overnight as I read a few places it allows the battery to charge
yes, if you take out the battery, then plug the phone into a *WALL* charger *NOT COMPUTER USB PORT* the green led should light up. when its green, try inserting the battery, then leave it alone for a while and see if it starts to charge.
good luck

I had exactly the same situation, zero battery and also feared that I lose my X10. What do I did?
1) Downloaded X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf (and put it in the proper FlashTool folder).
2) Removed the battery for 1 minute, put the battery in the mobile again but don't powered the mobile on and also don't used the USB cable.
3) Started Flashtool and choosed to flash the file, and only connected the USB cable while pressing the "Back" button. When it ended flash, disconected the cable and... voila! It was working OK again. After that I installed my fave-super-complete WB ROM again.
So, why I'm being sooo detailed if you aren't n00b? Because when stressed, we sometimes forget something.
Hope the Stock 2.1 ROM in FlashTool helps you like it helped me.
hi, today my photon freezes when I'm calling my friend
i tried to press the power button to turn if off but it won't shut down
i press any other button and still there's no response from the phone.
so in desperation i pulled out the battery
and the phone is dead.
i tried to install the battery again but the phone won't turn on at all
i tried to "rest" for a day but still the phone won't turn on
i've tried connecting it to wall charger but still , dead.
the battery is full cause i've tried it on my friend's photon.
so the battery is not the issue.
can anybody give me any solution ?
i can't send the phone back to sprint cause i lived overseas.
i really need help here
any suggestions are welcomed, thx.
When you plug it in to AC does it show any sign of life?

A few more details would help us help you.
It's (should be) common knowledge that you can help fix something when you don't know what's under the hood.
Give us some info. Are you stock, rooted custom rom kernel etc.
Does anything occur on your phone at any time? Lights or a vibrate when charging? Do you get to the Motorola screen? If so Are you familiar with rsd and fast boot?
To get help around here we need to see a thorough post that explains all of the details. I assure you someone will attempt to come to your aid

Okay here's the thing:
the photon is unlocked and using 197 SBF
rooted and unlocked (cause i install the beat audio mod)
prior to this , nothing is wrong
the phone works normally
and suddenly it hangs / freezes when i called my friend with it
so out in desperation i took off the battery
and it never turn on since
totally dead
not even motorola logo on the screen
the battery is 90% cause i tried my battery on my friend's photon and it shows 90% charge
so i don't think this is the battery problem
i tried connect it to the wall charger, nothing happened not even LED turn on
i tried connecting to my laptop usb port and the white led come out but still it won't turn on
with and without battery, when i connect it to my laptop the white led comes out.
Try to pull the battery more times, I know that this issue could be from pudding sbf on some Photons.
One man from here had the similar problem, flashed derpunlock.sbf, booted and after some minutes it died, he had to pull the battery, wait a few minutes and again. After full sbf flashing, it was fine.

i've leave the battery out of the phone for more than 24 hour but still it won't turn on.

as you read in the topic title. My HTC thunderbolt is dead. nothing. no yellow / green light at all. This has happened before..but a simple battery pull for about 20 minutes and a restart got me going again. Now...it won't work. I'm not a noob where I flashed the wrong radio or something stupid like that. I had fully functioning Thunderbolt with LiquidSmooth ICS JMOD MR2. Before my phone decided to commit permanent suicide, it was rebooting to the boot screen every hour or so to the LiquidSmooth boot animation while I was using PowerAmp. Then I shut if off normally (just like last time..) and now it won't charge turn on, or do ANYTHING. It won't even go to the HTC logo where I can go to clockwork or the hBOOT menu. I'm running out of options. If anyone could give me advice. That would be great, as I cannot afford another one :___;
Thanks for your time = ]

Flashing the radio is the only thing u can flash and completely brick your phone with no fix if you flash wrong or the radio is for a different device then I think your just gonna have to move on to a different phone.

This is exactly what I didn't do. I was just stating that because I bet some users on here flash the wrong radio or unplug it during flashing and cry on here later for a solution. This is what I did not do.

I had 4.0 LiquidSmooth ICS JMOD my custom ROM on my phone ever since the rom first came out.and it was perfectly...fine...
and this same problem happened when I had GB ThunderShed CM7..but my gf told me to pull the battery out and leave it out for 20 minutes..then it put it back in. It worked. She did this many times with her Droid 1. Since it was problematic with this issue. (first android phone OF COURSE its going to have problems) Now she's an iPhone user i'm constantly trying to convert back lol
anyway...as stated before..it's now done it again and this time it's totally dead. my phone was trying to tell me something I bet.
How old is your phone?
Nothing to do with radios or ROMs. A bricked phone will still receive a charge. You need to try a different battery ( preferrably 1 that is charged and for the Thunderbolt) once you get it booted into whatever ROM you're using, go to menu, settings, power and make sure that "fastboot" isn't checked. By default fast boot is checked by HTC and by most ROMs. What fastboot does is just put your phone into "hibernate" much like a PC does.
So when you turn your phone off, it appears that its off, but its really just sleeping. If the battery dies and fastboot is checked, the phone is hella confused about its current state. HTC did this by default for a better customer experience, but its kinda dumb and bad in the long run as your phone never gets a freaking break. Lol
Thats why I'm suggesting getting a good battery to boot up to a ROM or whatever, turn off fastboot, properly turn off the phone then charge your battery. It may take up to 10+ min before you to get an orange light that'll flash then eventually go solid. Let it go solid for about 20+ min to be on the safe side, then boot
Good luck man

Man I bought one off craigslist that did the exact same thing. Had it about a week. Started random reboots so I was restoring a backup. While trying that recovery randomly rebooted a couple times them finally restore finished. It bootlooped so I pulled the battery and that was the last time it did anything. PC won't see it, won't get a charge light. Put a fully charged battery from my other tbolt in it. Still nothing. It literally died in my hands. I guess a hardware failure was the cause. Also picked up the wireless charging battery cover to try my power mat to see if that would at least make the charging light come on ....nope

Well I've searched the net and this has happened to several people that weren't even rooted or on a custom Rom. To me it seems like the motherboard(or the phones equivalent) is fried....that would explain why it happens on many thunderbolts(but it could just be a simple fix that I don't know of)

Thank you so much everyone for your advice, concern and help..but nothing can fix or repair hardware failure to this extent

I really thought I would find some answers by search but nothing came up... everyone seems to have some kind of screen working but mine is simply dead.
My phone is completely dead this morning, went to bed with battery almost full (unplugged) and woke up to a black screen and no reaction to anything whatsoever. Removing the battery, plugging charger, plugging in a computer, nothing seems to work.
The phone has been rooted for a while (only rooted, nothing else installed/changed)
aside from sending it for jtag, is there anything else I can try?

Are you able to go into download mode? If not there's two of us.
My sisters S2 was at 76% battery when the phone shutdown suddenly. And after she noticed that her phone was turned off, it wont turn on again.. no recovery, no download, no bootlogo nothing.
The only sign of life is that the upper half of her S2 is a little bit warmer then the lower half, nothing else..
Can some1 maybe explain why this happened? Thanks in advance!

Why does it happen ? Your guess is as good as anyone else's. Like any other electronics, phone's fail randomly for no apparent reason.
You're only going to find out if it can be JTAG'd if you send it to a JTAG repairer, otherwise it will be a hardware issue, and given a lot of stuff is on the motherboard, they generally replace that.
Is there anything else you can do if you're getting absolutely nothing out of the phone (no boot, no DL mode, no recovery) ? No.
Unfortunately I don't think there's anything you can do if you can't even boot into download mode.... Also I'm afraid there's a chance they are not gonna fix or replace your phone for free because it's rooted, even if the problem is hardware related. Good luck.

Sans here. When plugged in it gets a little warm on the top above the battery and that's it. Absolutely nothing else.

exactly the same deal here (except I was at work, got a call, put the phone back on the desk, 30 mins later phone won't awake from sleep and no reaction when plugged or anything).
I'd say the Maya predicted the apocalypse for our GS2... I'll send it back for repair next Monday, but going back to my old Nokia N95 feels very, very, very bad.
I have no idea what went wrong or where. One day a few apps starting force closing. Then I got weird unlocking problems. Now google play crashed consistently on any search, as well as ****ing settings. I ****ing hate this phone.
-Rooted and unlocked via freegee.
-Installed clockwork over adb(everything was fine at this point)
-Flashed a few different ROMS
-Flashd beanstalk, and then the problems started.
-Can't get ****ing adb to connect no matter what so I can't flash a new recovery
-Considering beating in my phone with a bat.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting recovery working again? Clockworks app doesn't work, similar to what this fellow went through (and apparently solved) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258671&highlight=can+t+boot+recovery
Haven't tried LGNPST because I have no idea what the acronym stands for and no one says what it is.

I've exhausted everything I could find through the teenybin thread. LGNPST and teenybin gave me back fastboot, but I still have no recovery.
Oh yeah, and a sweet bonus: My phone refuses to go past the boot screen when booting and adb on both my desktops refuses to recognize my device! Anyone want a free phone before I smash it to bits against my face?
Update: For all you poor fools who are following the same path, heres what happened.
Left it plugged in all night and it continued to flash red for a while, and then show a full charge screen, then turn off. Repeated this throughout the whole night.
Come morning I perform a hard battery pull via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45849420#post45849420
I wait a minute with the motherboard connector disengaged. Hold power button for 10 seconds. Plug back in, absolutely no change in my situation. I tried again for about 5 minutes, ditto.
So in conclusion, I broke my phone because I installed a custom rom and LG didn't want me to. I hope whatever team was in charge of developing this phone burns in hell like they so sweetly deserve.
**** you LG. ****. YOU. I want my ****ING money back. You make **** PRODUCTS.

Yeah its my fault for installing a custom ROM. You wouldnt be saying this if a desktop or laptop magically stopped working after reinstalling windows or linux. If those were as randomly, stupidly risky, people would be ****ing in arms at microsoft, as they rightfully should be at carriers. Whatever man.
If you can't access recovery or the phone will not boot then adb won't work. You said that you do have the ability to use fastboot though. Have you tried flash twrp from fastboot?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Why you install recovery over adb? I mean, when you unlock with freegee it installs the recovery you want (cwm or twrp), so no need for adb.
Have you tried to KDZ a stock rom and do a hard reset?

I tried LGNPSTING a lot of things and now the battery is ****ed. Hard battery disconnect did nothing. It'll flash its light and maybe show the lg logo when plugged in.. but other than that its frustratingly dead.
Just sell the ****ng phone man...
You got frustrated due to a lack of patience. You can flash recoveries via fastboot. If you actually searched well you would have seen that.

Doesnt work, and never did. The ****ing phone drivers are so ****ty and proprietary, no computer I used would recognize my phone. I actually managed to flash the stock AT&T rom to my phone through LGNPST, along with a recovery, or so LGNPST said, but of course another problem had to come up. Fantastic ****ing phone here.

Then it sounds likely that you're doing something wrong, have an antivirus conflict, or genuinely do not have access to one well-maintained windows machine.

You can melt the software side of these phones so badly and still recover with the Qualcomm tools after the fact, it's not even funny how bad things can go before no return. Flashing a rom didn't do this, period. I want to believe you just suffered from a fluke hardware failure. Even more so it sounds like the USB connector went ape and continued wigging out from there.
The universal drivers also work perfectly. Considering in every way this is the nexus 4 with an SD card slot and a better LTE amplifier, everything you're ranting about is invalid.
The phone is a sanctioned, flash to hell and back model. You need to do some soul searching and find out where YOU went wrong. Or at least get an el cheapo multimeter out and start checking continuity. If it turns out you broke the charging connector or the battery connector off of the board you can STILL be saved. Just put in some effort and try to find the root cause. Screaming and cursing on a random corner of the internet isn't solving your problem
Making up crazed excuses isn't doing any service to you or the other forum users either. Especially the driver ranting. They work flawlessly. Hell even the generic Google provided SDK abd driver works.
If you figure anything out we're here to try and get you back to good.

-edit- and leave the battery disconnected for awhile. The reason I suggest holding the power button while battery disconnected is in the hope that it will drain any remaining current out of the phone. There's no documentation to say it does or doesn't. So let the thing sit and be absolutely sure it's got a chance to reset. And check the battery voltage to confirm if it's dead or not. Since the contacts will be right there when it's disconnected...
That red light flashing / lg logo when plugged in is exactly where my phone and others was when needing a battery pull. It's fixed every phone I've heard of in that state. Try it again?
The same thing happened to me twice before. Both times I was able to recover my LG you get back into my recovery screen. What works for me is using Lgnpst back to stock jb. Next I flashed both teeny bins. Immediately after flashing the teeny bins, I open my LG up and pulled the battery. I waited about 10 minutes attach the battery back into the LG. Booted to the device and a factory reset my holding the power button in the volume down button. After the the device finished the reset I was good to go and my LG back to normal. This is what works for me give it a try... And good luck.

Well, another free day off, guess I'll give it a go again.
The connection of the battery to the mobo is most definitely intact. Pulled the plug to the mobo for ten minutes, plugged back in.
It still just steadily flashes red whenever I charge it. Nothing.
I'll try holding the power button while its disconnected, but I don't have a multimeter to check voltage.
Edit: Something changed. After sitting with the battery disconnected and a rubber band around the power button for 20 minutes, it showed a battery with a charge icon, then nothing. Havent had a screen for awhile. Pressing the power button, nothing. Holding it for awhile gets the full-charge battery, and if I keep holding it, the google symbol, and then nothing. I guess I'll try pulled the battery for 20 minutes again, Maybe it didn't fully discharge?
Edit 2: I've been informed that after a hundred battery pulls, the battery probably has something physically wrong with it. ****ing phenomenal goddamned phone here!! Why do I pay tech companies money for **** again?

go to a service, ask them if it can be repaired, if they say yes go home and wait for an idea
if they say no dont lose the hope
its a great phone, and as you see you are the only one with this problem
and with that angriness you will do nothing, remember you and only you are the responsable for any damage your phone suffers, not the developer of that rom
