take the battery out for 1 min, then put it back. If it won't boot again, repeat battery out/in and hold camera button, it will bring you to BOOTLOADER menu. Then flash the ROM again..

Hi, my device was low on battery and it went blank. Then I recharged it. After the recharge, the power button press started to soft reset the device and it got stuck at the blue windows mobile screen. After a few hard resets the device went totally blank. I took the battery out waited for a couple of hours, then put it on but no change in the situation. Now when I try to hard reset (camera+conn+soft reset) nothing happens. When I put connect it to the charger, nothing happens as well.
please help I am going mad in here.

use original battery and original charger. be patient, just let it connected long time. (this in case your battery was fully discharged and you did not no use your device for long time)
i am read that it stucks with blue windows well it is window mobile so you not have really blue window, but i think you mean the splash screen.
maybe you have downgraded your device somehow? If so, upgrade it again and it will not stuck any more at the "blue window"
many thanks. my i-mate is plugged in for power now.. there are no lights showing up as well.. i am being patient.. lets see how it goes.
It sounds to me that you have a problem with the battery connectors or maybe the battery it self.
I once let my Jamin run down (when I accidentally left MP3's playing over night) and it refused to boot (stuck on the splash screen just like yours).
Fortunately for me, once I connected the power supply, the problem went away.
If you don't see the orange "charging" light check all connections, make sure the battery is installed properly and the contact surfaces on it are clean, make sure the power supply is plugged in tightly and the wall socket has power.
If nothing helps you'll probably need a new battery.
Many Thanks.. I will order a new battery and see if it works. Very unlucky situation to be left Jaminless on the beach during my summer holiday..
This is crazy. I made a few calls before I slept and my battery was at 40% level. When I woke up and saw my phone wouldnt come out from standby mode. I saw none of the lights on my phone were blinking. I assumed that the phone shut down by itself. I pushed the power button it started and in 3 seconds it shut down by itself. I assumed that its battery is dead so I connected it to my computer but I did not see any orange charging light. So I connected it to the wall charger. This is really shocking I saw a red indicator light it stayed there for 2 seconds and went away. I am really scared my phone is not starting please help !!!
...same issue here! -> solved!
Hi! I own a XDA Neo for one week now and this morning this happened to me: I did set an alarm the evening before to wake me up, battery was at 82%, so I did not connect the device to external power. I woke up in time, but not by the alarm. Instead the XDA was off and when I presses the 'on' button it did a soft reset... The reset reached the Windows screen (after the provider logo screen) and the alarm went on. I disabled the alarm and the XDA froze. I did two more soft resets, both with the same result. When I tried to 'reanimate' the device the fourth time, nothing happened at all. No soft reset, no hard reset, no boot loader, no indicator LED when connecting it to the charger
I removed the battery, the SD and the SIM and tried several times to reset the damn thing - no fu..... way! Does anyone know the 'magic trick' or should I send the device in for exchange/repair (it's one week old!)???
Thanks for helping a newbie :wink:
EDIT
I don't believe it, the battery was simply discharged completely! From 82% at 10pm the evening before to 0% at 7am the next morning. With BT and WiFi off, excellent signal from provider, no other progs running in the background and screen shut off as well... What a crappy little piece of sh..! Guess I have to get a more powerfull one from Ebay.
Same problem here, damn it!

How did you figure out that the battery discharged completely?
My XDA Neo was fine this morning with 22% battery and just after lunch (without using it) it stopped working! And it's one week old!!
I have the same thing, have no idea what to do!
First time it happened i exchanged my device, but the problem was still there and i thought the battery were dead. i bought the new one- and it work!!! But now it happened again!!
My vario has died. Went to bed a few nights ago and put it on charge as usual. Woke up the next morning and it was dead.
No power, no lights, nothing. I have removed the battery, tried a different charger, made sure no buttons are stuck down.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Mine died too!
I had oc-ed it for a year now on 240 MhZ (using Omapclock), which has never been a problem.
Yesterday my radiosignal went away so i had to reconnect it. After that i started Tomtom. After a minute the PDA resets itself. Again troubles finding a radiosignal. Than the image started to get blurry (while finding a signal) so i restarted again (soft reset) and it came never back alive.
Battery was OK, i tried a hard reset but nothing. Hopefully i can find a way to un-brick this thing.
Not exactly the same circumstances as my phone but very unfortunate all the same...

There is a 9-volt battery trick somewhere on these forums here to give your battery enough charge to reboot the phone so you can then charge it. Try searching for this. It saved me when I made the mistake of mixing 1.xx bootloaders with a 2.xx rom and couldn't charge my phone.
Did you flash anything prior to retiring for the evening the night it didn't charge?
What type of charger did you use to charge with? Some chargers for the Wizard are notorious for not working when the device is not booted fully into windows.

Ouch this sounds like a hardware issue I don't think your device is bricked just worn out I hope I am wrong though.
sorted.
I have been using a Motorola V3 charger to charge my pda for about 6 months without problems. All of a sudden it no longer wants to charge when connected to it.
Last night I got the real charger out of its packaging and plugged it in. Hey presto its back online....
Strange...
Hello dear XDA-dev members;
I had a problem this morning with my Wizard. I have a G3 device which i had downgraded to Button ROM for unlocking etc. It was working really fine until this morning. Last night i have turned off the phone radio (wireless and bluetooth was not enabled)and the battery was charged almost at %60.
This morning i woke up, i saw that he was entered in USB recovery mode itself. (the screen with red, green, blue, with my IPL 1.0 / SPL 1.0) , i was terrified because nobody touched my phone. Then i have pushed over power button, it shut-down. I've just waited a few minutes then i've just pushed again over power button, it started with my windows mobile 5 splash screen and showing my ipl/spl. the screen is really bright at this moment but fades out, when he started to fade out, he just shut-down itself.
I've read and searched over the forum, and though that it was my battery which was dead. I've plugged it with wall charger and waited almost one hour, and the charger led was red. I've tried to turn on, he just came on and go over my Today screen! and the charger led turned to green. Almost 45 seconds later the phone turned off itself. I've tried to re-start but it's same. I'm getting windows splash screen, and the screen brightness starts to fade out and the phones shuts down.
I've tested my battery with a volt-meter, i'm getting 4.86 volts. i have also checked power pins inside the phone, i'm also getting power there (4.6 volts) when it's connected with wall-charger, so i think that it's fine.
I have tried to hard reset, pushing communication + voice command button + soft reset button, i had the black screen, he said that it was ok, but same here. I was running with Button rom as i said before. (1.05)
Please help.
if you still can get into bootloader, it should be fine
It was entered into bootloader mode itself. When i'm trying to start it, the splash screen comes on, it shows WM5 and my IPL/SPL and 20 seconds after, it shut down. I really need help because it's my only phone that i own.

Have you had your phone more than a year? It may be the battery.
Replacement batteries cost only $5 on ebay or Amazon. Just get a battery so you can be sure that isn't the problem. In any event, you will probably need a new battery so you may as well try this.

I've gone to buy a new battery, but it's the same thing. It just shuts-down irregullary at splash screen, or today screen.
Some faults in memory result in the device needing to soft reset in an attempt to reclaim memory. Perhaps you could try flashing to another rom. I dont own a g3 so I cant really advise you any further.
Mine not exactly like you but automatic bootloader or stuck at IPL screen. It was out of nowhere but thought a bad flash. When trying the hard reset, it would come as "failed".
Nearly threw phone thinking too old and dead but this came to rescue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963. If not tried, give it a shot.

Hi,
My M5000 refuses to start. Late saturday night it was fine when i checked my emails - woke up Sunday morning and it refused to turn on. My battery is about 6 months old, and when my unit is plugged into the mains the red light comes on. However, when (I am assuming) the battery is fully charged the red light goes out - but the unit still wont turn on.
I have tried to hard reset and also put into boot loader - but its completely unresponsive
I have searched the forums - but cannot find any posts that discuss the exact issue I have with my M5000.
Has my M5000 bit the dust?
Thanks in advance
Matt
