Is there anyone I can send my c500 to that can revive my dead Typhoon rather than sending it off to HTC Europe? I killed it via an incomplete rom flashing. Now it won't boot, won't turn on, nothing. The only sign of life is when I remove the battery and plug in the AC charger a red light illuminates for a millisecond... (sorry if this is the incorrect forum to post this)

Before i start sorry about my poor english..
ok, so i was trying to hard reset my k-jam with a very low battery (i think the battery is dead), It was shutted down in the middle of the progress and i needed to install a new rom.
The battery was dead, so i bought a new battery from E-Bay (2800 mAh, i think that before the first use it's need to be fully charged but i didn't charged it very much so it is possible that i killed it )
I was trying to install the wizard love rom but it wrote error 264: connection...
finally i installed the rom Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 and then it was always stuck on the IPL\SPL screen and the OS didn't start...
So i decided to try install other rom.. i was trying to install button rom and when it was on 85% the device was shutted down.. probably the battery was empty.. i connected the device to USB and the orange led wasn't lighted.. after a couple of minutes the device was turned on (i wasn't touching anything) at the bootloader and after another couple of minutes it shutted down again... if i keep the device connected to USB, it's happened again and again - turn on and after couple of minutes shut down.. if i try to shut down the device when it's on, it's shutted down and after 2 seconds the orange led is poke out (light for a second) and the device turned on (at the bootloader) again... i think that probably the device is charging only when is shutted down, and then it's turn on until the battery is empty again, but i don't know if i'm right...
What can i do? is it possible that i killed my new battery?
Thank in advance and i'm sorry again about the english
First of all,get the battery charged with 'wall charger',it won't charge in bootloaders and with usb cable with pc.It'll only charge via usb cable in a working OS.As its below the retention charge,it'll only get charged with wall mains charger.
Which is your device a G3 or G4 phone,post the IPL/SPL.of the phone here.
Cheers!
I have G3, after i tried to install the button rom it's desplay the following IPL\SPL:
IPL: 1.05
SPL: 2.16
probably the battery is not charging because i'm trying to charge it with the USB cable from the bootloaders without a working OS and that's the problem... so i will buy a wall charger and i'll see..
thank you very much!!
OK, i bought a wall charger and i charged the battery..
i've tried re-installing the button rom and it was successfully complete.
but now, when i turn on the device it's desplay the IPL\SPL screen (GSM and OS too) with the beer picture (of the rom) and stay like that.. the OS doesn't start..
Any idea??
I just want to remind that i installed the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 rom before, and it was about the same problem (stuck on the IPL/SPL screen).. and also, when i'm trying to hard-reset it writes "format faild"...
Is my device dead?
Thanks in advance...
HI everybody, first i am from germany so excuse my english

It shows the same as in point 4 described here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
so i did that MTTY thing and after the reboot on the screen appears something like:
+
if u want to rest all date press QWERTY (R) for YES
and QWERTY (dunno that letteranymore) for no
so i pressed R for YEs and softresetted with stylus.
Now i cannot turn that device on, no led lids up nothing!
so i put the battery out an plugged in the chgarger cable
et voilá a red led lits up on the right corner.
i cannot turn the device on and when i put the battery back, the red led tunrs off.
Is here someone who can help me?
thanks!

If you can get your hands on another battery then try that as the led lights up meaning that the hardware is still working. Battery could be bung...
Cheers...
but with a charger cable plugged in, it mustbe possible to start up the device or?
When i turn out battery from my 'HTc Touch and plug in charger, i can start the device but not the herm?
greets

You can't start the Hermes without a good battery installed....
Hi! i've bought an used Qtek 9090. the problem is that this Qtek don't power on! it doesn't go on bootloader mode, doesn't go on hard reset ecc... but when i charge it, the red led turns on!
what can i do? please help me
well try to charge the battery only in the cradle
if this not help try to borrow working battery from someone, if your device does not start even with working battery then you are screwed (a hardware problem of some kind)
no i think the battery is ok.
there is a way to restore the bootloader? i've read about the jtag, but i don't know anything... can you explain?
Battery is charging only when the LED is orange/amber. Red means problems with charging - that's why xplode proposed putting the baterry directly in the cradle, as it can "fix" the battery.
Well the red light means there is problem, the most comon problem is the battery, but the red light is also shown with motherboard, bootloader, kernel, and other problems
one more option is there. if the battery is not charged from a long time it needs a shock before recharging to activate the electrons. u should apply some 12v at 1 or 1.5 amp for 15-30 sec. than battery will get a little charge which is sufficient to turn on the phone once.................... but do not apply this voltage regularly or for long time.
please anybody help my o2 xda exec is npow totally dead ...
when its putd at charging its show charging light bt not any thing...no bootloader working
Have you tried another battery?
Have a read on my sig link, you may find something to help you
Good luck,
Look at the screen carefully under a bright light when it's charging. Do you see anything like Serial/USB? The backlight won't work so it will be faint. If there's nothing, it's a hardware problem. Starting with a new battery would be the most logical first step.
please help
how about the charges indicator, is it blink or stay on orange while u charges your universal? if the charges indicator blink meaning your battery cant be use anymore..try a new battery. it was happened to my universal
well, i've just got my x10 thru other forumer. initially d phone is alr somehow 'bricked' with d usual red led blinking 3 times with the original battery
currently i'm trying to charge both the battery and tried to reboot the phone with all the methods tried in this thread. hopefully i can solve the problem by myself before sending it to the shop.
no more warranty anymore by the way...
i've already leave the phone to charge with the new battery and currently both battery when inserted gave the same red led blinks, won't even boot up. at this point, my only assumption would be the usb charging port is somehow broken and no other choice but to send it for repairs...
i appreciate it if someone have other alternatives for me to try but fyi my comp won't even detect the phone even in SEUS (latest version) but only the red led kept blinking until now.
and sorry if this thread is not in the proper place, i absolutely have no other clue what else i can do currently, really in need of some guidance here
thanks
