Is there anyway to restore it? The battery now won't charge
Thanks for you help!

You should at least be able to remove the battery and put it back in and then charge.... if it still won't charge then there's something you're not telling us

Nope. It still won't charge.. The last thing I was doing before it batt died was flashing rom.
When plugged in does it turn on at all? If it doesn't, then you bricked your Streak.

Can I ask you two things? Why flash ROM without being connected to power or why flash knowing your battery is low?
If you are bricked which is more than likely the case then you have to use QDL tool

I was expecting it to finish before the battery died..
For weird reason, the charger was having issue.
Could you guide me on the tool to restore it?
I've never had to use the QDL Tool so I'm not familiar with it. Worse, if your Streak is totally bricked like I believe, the QDL Tool won't help you.

Learn to use the Search soon because you are apparently the type that really doesn't put much research into what you do so search QDL tool... but if your Streak is NOT recognized after you install the new drivers then you pretty much have a paperweight because of carelessness

How'd you manage to get into recovery with a low battery anyway?! Streakmod usually throws up a low battery message if I try to get into recovery when the battery is below 10 or 15%. What recovery were you using?
You can grab the QDL Tool here.

Of course, like Strephon Alkhalikoi said, if the phone is completely bricked and not getting detected by Windows, then even the QDL tool won't be of much help to you.
What I would try...
Hi guys,
I am quite new to flashing ROMs on Android smartphones and I don't own a Dell Streak. I have never had this problem on my Desire S as I have always flashed custom ROMs with a charged battery. I apologise if this post isn't helpful and I'm guessing someone has already thought of that. However, in that case, I would expect a more widely known explanation of why it wouldn't work.
Anyway, wouldn't it be possible for you to swap the dead battery in your smartphone with a charged battery? Either borrow your friend's phone or beg your local phone shop to charge your battery for you... I know, it sounds dumb... but would it work?

i am sorry to say this but the last post was 22nd May 2012, 12:12 AM....
it is impossible to brick this device, if you were trying to install a custom Rom , your steak is just fine, don't panic, the same happened to me before, use old qdl, to revive your streak, if you were trying to update from a pkg, your streak is just ok, first watch the physical connections, then continue with reviving the device, remember, streak is virtually impossible to be bricked, unless you boil it in salty water.

Help I updated my radio for vilain rom 10 and i thought something was wrong when i saw the phone and the box so i pulled out my battery and it wont turn on
That picture i normal when you flash a radio.
Never pull out the battery at that state. I Think its bricked
Yes sorry it's bricked
Sorry to hear, If you can get the phone to give you any sort of life then it is not bricked, just on vacation.
But if not you could always put your phone to good use.
Sorry i could'nt resist.

Well if you ever come beck then try this. If you haven't already installed the drivers for your phone onto your computer do it now. Plug your phone into your your computer do you get a light or try to plug it into charger if you get a light it's not bricked. What you want to do if it's not bricked is run a ruu on it.
No Light :'(
Would htc cover this and send a replacment or will i need to buy a new phone ?
Telling them you tried using custom ROMs wouldn't get a repair,... You could say you were just doing a "restore to factory settings" and your battery died. Its worth a try.
Okay thAnks i migjt try and say it ran out of battery updating to the new 2.1 because personaly i think its slughtly mire belivable what do you think, also just in case i was looking for new android phines kind of off topic here but has anyone seen the samsung beam i mean wow its a projector shame i hate the ui and xda doesnt have it
Oh also i forgot is there anything to unbrick it , like a pandoras battery and magic mem stick ( dw if youvdont know what it is.but it csn be used to unbrick a psp and works even though i went through six psp s in a year lol
Yes say that once it is officially released for your region.
You could check the dream and magic forums to see if they ever recover any bricked handsets?

Okaaay sooo some people have unbrcked thier magics with jtags and be able to get it working again , but cant find any tut or anybody who has done it on a hero , , but i have seen somepeople say take the battery out and leave it for 24 hours
don't see how it will help but it's worth a try

Found this but i gues i will have to wait for a tut :sigh:
Bump ?
Htc will fix it or send a new phone within 7-12 days
when i was trying to flash a new SPL my phone powered off and now wont power on at all. if anybody can please help or give any advice please, please, please do so. any is appreciated!
This is going to be a stupid question, sorry. Have you removed the battery? If that doesn't work, and still wont turn on, then maybe try pushing the call and end button at the same time and hold for a few seconds. That may do something but not sure, this is the first I have heard of this problem.
thank you so much for replying! but yes, ive removed the battery and the sd card. i just tried holding the call and end button but nothing happened. i dont know if this is any help but when i connect the phone to the usb charger with the battery in it doesnt do anything, but when i connect the phone and usb battery-less and then insert the battery the charging light comes on. right now thats the only shred of hope i have...
Can you boot to recovery?

im thinking about going to the store. but that little watermark sticker is pink. do you think thatll affect me getting a new phone in anyway?
If you have insurance just call tech support there transfer you to insurance and pay the 90$ and since out on new Eris may get a better phone my wife had Droid one dropped in water and had to go through insurance and they were out if new droids she got a brand new Droid 2.insurance sends new phones say dropped in lake and don't have phone anymore, worth a try
So when you connect your USB does the computer recognize anything? And does the phone light turn on even for a moment?
Sounds pretty bricked. Tell Verizon your phone just stopped turning on.
thanks for all the advice guys! i just got back from the vs and i got a "certified like new" eris. along with a cute little pink case for only 3 bucks.
and for future reference
we do not need 2 threads in 2 different locations for one single individual issuse

Hey guys,
I am rooted and was running bamf 1.5 remix with the leaked ruu. I was attempting to make a backup on CWR before i began to attempt to remove the sense ui, but while i was backing up it seemed to fail. I did a battery pull and now it wont power on. When the charger is plugged in the charging red light won't even show. Please help!!!
I had a similar problem from using a cheap aftermarket charger. The thing actually discharged my battery.
THanks for the help, but it cant be the charger. Took it in to verizon and they coudlnt even read the device. Is that a good sign because my warranty comes through the mail in 2 days but im scared that i might get caught for being rooted and get charged...
BTW i can't get into hboot or power the phone. its driving me crazy...
I feel ya, im not much help for the problem but the replacing thing I would destroy any hope of them finding out Ive rooted mine before I return mine,via back voltage to fry the phone or maybe ...ooops somehow i ran over my phone with mt truck......lol
A failed backup would not cause your phone to brick fyi. You were doing something else if you really bricked your phone.

Hi all
Two days ago, I've tried upgrade to version 2.3.3, but the light went out and my device don't turn on anymore.
I've used KDZ and sometimes I got Update Error.
I would like to do everything before to send to technical assistance.
What can I do to make my device work ?
Looks like nobody wants to be the barer of bad news; but it sounds like you have an expensive paper weight on your hands. I could be wrong though. Good luck with that.

It could be a dead battery. If you have a spare one with some juice in it then use it. If it's not the battery then I am not sure what's wrong.

Hi people, I have a i777 but the phone does not turn on at all, what happens is that it will turn the screen on when you plug it in, show the battery image for less then a second and do that 2-3 times before it just stays blank. computer doesnt recognize it or do anything when pluged to it.
Left it plugged in to charge and the phone got very hot. I have not attempted anything with the phone its not even rooted, just stopped working.
Please if any one has any tips or anything that can assist I would really appreciate it.
When did you buy it?
Did you try a battery pull, wait a bit, then put it back and connect the charger without turning it on.

Yea but first it would be good to remove any personal things and backup what you can before doing so.
Have you tried getting into recovery or download mode.

Hey guys sry for reviving this thread its just ive been reading and its driving me kinda crazy. ( i miss my Palm !!!)
So i figured out somethings about the phone, It does go into bootloader mode only if i take out the battery and plug it in, with battery it does nothing at all.
Theres so much info about roms and all this other things i cant quite figure exactly what i need to do with the phone. I'm trying to find a stock rom, but like i said i don't know if its the room, bootloader, kernal or what the hell it needs to fix it.
Please anytips or questions or leads that can guide me.
Model is SGH I777
(Also can't really return it or do anything with at&t since I'm in Colombia, plus att just sucks)

It would be helpful if you could give some details of the problem that you have. We can't just assume that you have the exact same issue that the original poster described in the first post. Please describe your problem in detail. The phone will/won't turn on. The screen is/isn't completely dead. etc.
A little background would also be helpful. How long have you had the phone? Was it working before? Where did you get it? etc.
Need enough information to begin trouble shooting the problem. Will be happy to help if I can.
I had exactly the same problem with my SII. I bought an external charger for the battery, recharged the battery using that and worked fine afterwards (the charger I bought came with a couple of spares which was a bonus as well ;-).
My guess is the battery is empty, leave it on the charger for a bit and try again

Hey there,
I had a similar problem with my battery, it turns out that the charger I was using essentially fried my battery.
Go to an AT&T store (which stock i777 batteries and USB chargers) and explain your problem to them. If this just happened without installing any ROMs or rooting, there's no reason to flash anything, and it's likely a hardware problem. Explain the problem and they will let you borrow a new battery and charging cable to see if it makes a difference.
Otherwise, if this happened out of the blue like that, without any interventions or changes on your part, you should take the advice of the other posters and make use of your warranty.

Thanks guys for the responses.
*story is i sold the phone to someone and i brought it back since it was not turning on*
Ive had time now to research a bit on android and this phone.
I think its hard bricked the phone does not go to download mode when you press the keys even with a full battery *charged it in anoher phone*
I can get it into download mode only when he battery is taken out of the phone... Once its in download mode i tried to flash the stock rom with Odin and stock kernel, but when its done flashing the phone tries to restart but nothing happens the screens turns on and off and the bottom keys flash in and out.
Ive read that you can use a Jtag or w/e you call it *the micro usb with the resistors in i* but since im in Colombia its hard to find those type of electronics off he shelf*
Anyway if any one has any thoughts or ideas to fixing it with out the battery in it while its in download mode i would really appriciate it ^_^
thanks again for the responses

Im just asking since you didnt mention it... Did you press the power button for at least 3 seconds? My Grandfather did this. Took back his phone only to discover that he had not pushed the power button long enough to turn it on. Sometimes you never know...
I had this same problem. Discovered it was just a dead battery. Battery in, I get nothing. Battery out and I can see the buttons flash when connected to a power source. So obviously its the battery.
edit: Since I still have the dead battery thought I would test out the download mode. Got it to boot into download mode without the battery, then started to put in the battery. As soon as the contacts touched, my phone turned off. No idea what happened to this battery..

Not sure what you used to flash back to stock, but if you didn't try it already, I would try the full stock package with bootloaders, param.lfs and all. Go to the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. The one-click downloader would be fine.
As far as the battery goes, even though you charged it in another phone, it may still be faulty. To test, use a known good battery from another phone.
Oh, and one other thing. Just curious, was the phone working normally when you sold it?

Seems to me you were generous to take it back. I wouldn't be surprised if the person flashed some firmware not intended for the I777, with bootloaders and param.lfs and such.
Yeah but kinda had a deal so not loosing much but i still want to fix it.
Let me ask you guys will it be fine to flash without the battery in the phone? Since it does open up the bootloader to and Odin detects it.
