While my Ulefone T1 was charging, I picked it up. The screen went black, and from then the phone was dead: the screen stays black, the phone is not recognized by my PC, and it is just overall dead. The weird thing is, when I charge the phone, the notification led turns on, so there is some life in there somewhere. Trying a factory reset does not work, as the screen stays black while trying to enter recovery mode.
Two questions: 1) what could have happened here? I'm thinking it is some sort of short circuit, but idk.
2) is there a way to recover files when the phone is not recognized by my PC?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey everyone. This is a quote from androidforums.com it is not my own writing, but this is my exact problem.
"Hey everybody, i recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10i and thought i should root my phone, using the following tutorial:
Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware! - xda-developers
So, i was following the steps and after i completed step 5, my phone refused to turn on. At first, the phone would initially vibrate like normal and the LED light would turn green, but then immediately turn off. 5 seconds later, the phone would start constantly vibrating with a black screen and the phone would become unresponsive. To turn it off i had to remove the battery.
I then downloaded the Sony Ericsson PC companion and tried to repair my phone. However, it did no good. Now my phone does the initial vibration, except this time the black screen would lighten up slightly and just stay like that.
I then attempted to charge my phone overnight and when i woke up it just flashes 3 red lights where the LED light is.
could somebody please help me? i only bought my phone 3 days ago and would be a COMPLETE waste of $600 if i was unable to get a replacement phone due to the void of warranty due to rooting.
Is there any way of fixing the phone? If not, is there any way of removing any trace of me rooting or attempting to root the phone (without turning the phone on since i can't) in order to use my warranty?"
My phone has now gone so flat (and doesn't seem to charge) that i can't enter flash mode.. although it was working last night before i went to bed and i did manage to update it using SEUS. But it wont boot up properly. Any ideas? I have noticed that there are a few other people that are having the same problem.. but no one seems to have a solution.
I have also noticed that it runs in a loop. When i plug it in the red light flashes for a while, then attempts to turn on.. and does the black screen for a while. Then it runs out of battery and goes back to the red flashing light. then it repeats.
Hope you can help. Thanks.
Have you tried flashing new firmware with flashtool?
As i tried to explain above.. my phone wont enter flash mode as it is too flat. And it wont charge. when i take it off the charger and try and turn it on. it flashes red three times then a break then three times again and so on.
Any ideas on whats going on?
would it be possible to still claim in on warranty as it wont start properly and wont connect to the computer.
Phone Model - Motorola Cliq (MB200)
My battery got totally drained yesterday afternoon, when i was charging it, i tried to turn it on, apparently i was able to get to the bootscreen (with the M logo in the middle) when all of a sudden it shut down after a few seconds. When I tried turning it back on again, the screen won't display anything at all, just black screen. I kept on pressing the power button continuously and it would vibrate and the LED notification light at the upper right corner is lighting up, which indicate that it's trying to boot however it still wouldn't display anything. I tried removing the battery, sim and sdcard and plugged it into the computer, the keyboard together with the LED light, will both light up but still black screen. I also tried charging the battery using a wall charger, but still no luck. I'm currently running CM7. RSD lite wouldn't recognize my phone anymore. I'm just wondering if you guys could help me out? and was it hard bricked? Is there any solution to this matter aside from the SIG method? Or might it be the battery that i should change?
Would really appreciate your replies....
I have a stock iOcean x7 elite which is a good Chinese phone, its amazing besides this issue that has rendered it useless. I was rebooting my phone and then it started getting stuck on the boot sequence, I didn't think anything about it so I took the battery out a few times. It did the same thing and then it just wouldn't turn on at all. Black screen and everything.
When I plug it into the charger the light doesn't come on. When I plug it into the computer, I can hear it sync up and then unsyncs. Nothing shows up in the My Computer screen.
Is there anything I can do, or is it toast?
Thanks
Hi there
I have used this tablet without bigger problems for months. a few days ago I've turned it on and after a few minutes using it the device froze completely. then the screen turned black after a few seconds, power led off. I've tried to reset it by pressing power button long and nothing happens, display black, led off.
Everytime I plug it in, the power led turns on, but nothing else happens.
Today I've opened the device and found out the batteries are at 2.8V. I've then charged them with my Lipo charger (had to desolder it, charge and then resolder). Still nothing works. And if there's no battery connected the exact same happens like with the batteries in place: nothing exept green led turns on.
So, why did this happen and how can it be fixed?
Thanks
same thing happened
hi,
exactly the same thing happened to me. Did you manage to solve the problem?
I also tried to empty the batteries and then to re-start, no success. The LED will light for a couple of minutes then turns off, but nothing else happens afterwards, the screen remains black all the time.
Resetting the device also doesn't work, the screen won't turn on, not even in the recovery mode.
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

still dead
Nope, unfortunately I could never fix it so it's just laying around collecting dust as a expensive paperweight...
Hi guys I would have (not me directly but a friend) a problem that has been literally driving me crazy for 3 days.
A friend gave me the indicated tablet asking me to do a miracle but basically I'm not God. The tablet in question is literally dead. Installed all the drivers, I started RKtool and it is not recognized, even the pc does not give the slightest signal of recognition of a connected device. It doesn't go into download mode, it doesn't go into recovery, it doesn't turn on. I left him in charge all night and nothing at all, shows no signs of life. The red LED while it is charging is there, pressing the reset button vibrates timidly once and then stops ... dead! Anyone have any idea what could have happened? Could anyone help me short-circuit it? I need to know which pins are right. Thanks
