I know i'm being a pain but now my MDA will not turn on, i was following the CID unlokcing thread, downgraded to Wizard Love ROM which went fine, the proceded to flash buttons 1.5 ROM and as usual it hung, went to do a reset to bootloader screen to reflash but it never got there , it doesn't turn on, battery was charged earlier can't have run out already can it?
Any ideas? i've tried to find info to help but can't seam to find any.

I know you've posted elsewhere, but it really helps if you tell us your phone model, if its G3/G4, what the IPL/SPL was before the problem started, etc...
Unfortunately, with the little info you've provided, I can't say for sure what has happened, but on first blush that sure sounds like a brick.
I would suggest you take the battery out of the phone, then press and hold the power button for 10 secs (this should discharge any remaining power) and leave the battery out for 30 minutes (might be excessive, but lets play safe). Don't plug it in and don't do anything else with the phone.
Now, after 30 mins pass, then put the battery back in and plug it into the wall (not your PC, but the wall). Again, don't do anything else. Don't press the power button or anything. If the phone acts like its trying to turn on, then turn it off. Let it sit plugged in to the wall for about 10 minutes. The charge light may or may not come on. If it does come on, then just leave it. If it doesn't come on, then try turning the phone on. If it comes on, then leave it on for 30 mins then turn it off to let it complete the charge.
If none of this works, I suspect you either have a dead battery, or your phone is a brick.

right phone is a G3 is was running the IPL/SPL of whatever buttons ROM has, as i said it hung like it's done a couple of times before when i tried buttons ROM but the other times i've just got into the boot loader menu and re-flashed and away i go, i'll try the battery thing in a fue mins, the battery was showing no signs of going bad was holding charge fine do the batteries just go like that? if it doesn't turn on would i be able to send it back to t-mobile as it's still in warrenty could they fined out it has a custom rom on it i.e is there away to say look at the rom on another peace of equipment to see if original or not, don't know if that makes sence.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr was going to stay with the wisard love rom i kinda liked it, wish i had now
thanks for the info
Just out of curiosity, but why did you go back to the Button ROM? Once you CID Unlocked, you are done with that process. You can flash official 2.x and custom roms to your heart's content and not have to go back to the Button ROM again. Only time you ahve to do CID unlock again is if you do go back to 1.xx IPL/SPL for some reason.
Good luck, I hope that works for you. As for warranty, but doing any custom stuff you void your warranty, but if the phone won't come on at all, then I don't see how they will know (not like they are going to pop a chip out and look to see what's on it).
And no, I wouldn't think the battery would just completely die under normal use. You usually start noticing it can't hold a charge first.
Could be this is a hardware issue, but really hard to say.

looks like i've bricked it lol
Sounds like it could be the battery, in some cases it will fully discharge (e.g. when shortcircuited) and then can no longer be charged in any regular way. You can try this:

My Neo all of a sudden went blank since saturday.It so happened..
I wanted to make a call, I removed my NEO from POCKET and It just showed the GREEN LED BLINKKING the POWER button dint responded at all..
I had to reset the NEO and now its not showing any thing
Does not respond to the wall charger nor any LED only thing happen is the phone gets heated on Charging(as usual as it did earlier)
Does any one know the trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..
Or ANY OTHER ADVICE PLS HELP ME!!
Where could be the problem as this problem had occured earlier also i remember it was 07/07/07 and I was in office and same the neo went BLANK.
Lucky was I in the evening I went home plugged in the wall charger and it came to life in around 21~30minutes
Hope my NEO is back to life soon !!
Is it really nothing to worry about or shall I start looking for a new phone
Hi...
This same thing happened to my Neo a couple of days back...
here is the trick .. charge it till you see the green led light meaning it charged 100%
THEN keep the battery pack seperate from the phone.
meaning dismental it for a whole day (24 hrs) in a dry place ....
after a day the NEo will work....
my sure did...

I had kept it to charge for the entire night yesterday,thatz around 7~6hrs
the LED does not turn GREEN at all..
I will try to remove the BATT for whole night today..
Any other trick meanwhile,
Also does any one know why does this happen firstly.
Is it because the processor just goes to DEEP SLEEP below 50MHz or there is a problem with IPL or some other stuipid thing
Mine is a G4.and had last installed the PDAViet Touch Flo v5
Any one els who can advice me on this.
Any one had the same error earlier!!
Well you might as well try with other battery. If the old one is not charging it might be dead... Have you tried measuring it?
Had Any One Faced Such A Problem!!

I had given it in repairs..
they informed me that even after installing the BATT prophet shows no sign..
I just dont understand what is the problem has any one els faced such a problem
Rip-prophet??
I just had a word with a service guy where I had given it for repairs!!
He informed me the problem has got notihng to do with the software aspect.
He confirmed its a hardware [email protected]@
Can any one recommed me where can I get the phone repaired in India>>Mumbai..
I Think I will buy a CHEAP nokia now as I dont have enough money to spend again on a expensive phone like this one!!
I feel that the processor has gone in a deep sleep any ways to retrive it to 195Mhz...
Or is it the problem with the IPL/SPL
pls HELP and pray for My PROPHET for its LONG LIFE
Its been almost 15days now and still my neo is not working..
The repaires guy told me that may be something is gone wrong mainly because I had dropped the phone from my hand some 5~10days back before it went DEAD.
Can u guys tell me how manny of u have LOST their PDA phone s after it failed to repair..with the reason for the failure like short circuit or just like mine!!
Can any one help me with the service manual for prophet
I dont know how true is this ...
What if i m not able to get it repaired at all here in Mumbai>>INDIA..
Any one can help me with the board of neo or some solution in repairs..
I feel that the PDA manufacturers must atleast make the phones RIGID or shock proof just like nokia..so it can take some jerk!!and we dont have to LOOSE our valuable phones..
I m afraid but I dont think I shall ever buy a PDA phone again...mainly because its too much expensive for their limited LIFE SPAN just like in my case..
Hey Mate,
When I first got my prophet, it did the same thing, no lights, nothing. I had the battery replaced with an NON-OFFICIAL prophet battery (i.e, A cheap unbranded one), and it went - it's running perfectly now too with WM6

Hi guys!
I had some hardware related problems last week with my wizard (G3). I sent it to vodafone and got a new device. The new device is a G4-Model, so I vistited the Wizard G4 forum to check out how to flash new roms to G4 models.
I flashed my wizard with the shelltool and got some problems while upgrading. My taskmanager said that shelltool doesn't respond anymore. I waited one hour and took the phone off the usb-cable, hard-reset the phone and everything was working fine (thought so).
After the setup i noticed that the battery was pretty low. I think it was about 7% or something like that. I put my wizard on charge via the usb-cable. I took it off the cable when the battery showed 27% because I wanted to go out.
After being away from home for 15 minutes the battery was down to 12%. I think about 15 minutes later the device was off - completely.
When I was back home at night, I put the wizard on the wall charger and went to bed.
This morning I noticed that the RED LED was constantly on... I was surprised that the led wasn't green, because normally it should be green after 5 hours of charging. I tried to turn my device on - nothing!
SteRo tells in this thread what to do, when the battery wont charge anymore. I tried it and this and till now it didn't work. I'm trying this at the moment one more time.
Is anyone out there who had the same problem or has an idea what happened and what i can do right now?
Please xda, help me!
Vi
EDIT: unimportant
What a beautiful day I tried the "direct" charge method from SteRo again and this time it worked! My wizard booted up normal and the orange LED started to shine
XDA - I LOVE YOU
Have a nice weekend!
EDIT2:
What a ****in day -.-'
Just checked my wizard for the charge status... guess what? it's off!
I have no idea what's going on... Please help me!
I trhink I would send that one back too since they just sent it to you. It's probably just a faulty battery though.
I had this thought too, but the problem is, that I have a WM6 rom on the device and I think that I've no chance to get back to a wm5 rom. Would you send it back immediately or qould you ask for help in a provider shop?
Thanks, Vi
Greetings! First Off I'd like to say xda-developers rock! I've searched high and low for a solution to my prob and cannot quite find one. My Jasjar has a very hard time coming on. Most of the time a soft reset will not do the trick. I bought a brand new battery with no luck. If you take the battery out, wait about 4hrs or so, and put the battery back in sometimes it will boot to winmo and work fine for about 15min. then the screen will fade leaving blue lines across. After that it unresponsive even if you try to charge it. The battery meter in the phone reads 100%
Things I tried/done:
READ THE WIKI
reflush with several different roms.
bought a new battery
check the internal battery
shocked the internal batt with a 1.5 AA bat like mentioned in a post
updated/downgraded boot loader.
I'm at my wits end with this. I love the phone but i might have to sell it on ebay.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Did it fall on the ground? It could be mobo...
No it never fell on the ground or anything...like i said just the software trouble.
And very sorry about the postings i am doing but you can imagine having such a phone and unable to use it...
Hey guys, Well I'm going staight to the point. My Jasjar is letrally DEAD. two days ago. the battery was about 4-2%. the phone kept showing a message that I should recharge the battery "abviousely", but the problem that I wasnt at home to recharge it. Anyways, the phone turned off after a while and I thought it was becuse of the battery. So, when I wanted to recharge the battery, there was nothing, the phone didnt turn on. I even replaced the battery, but no good, and to make things more confusing, when I remove the battery and put the charger, the red light turns on, which means that there is a response, and when I put the battery back, just nothing.
I really hope that someone here help me, because I desperately need the phone these days. please guys help me.
Sorry for the long topic but I tried to give details as much as I could
not to be too obviouse, but you have left it charging for a while? the Uni will not switch on until the battery has been charged for a bit. However, I do believe the red light it on at this stage, even though the Uni won't switch on. Also, new batteries may not come in charged state, so same problem.
Another test may be to charge the universal in a battery charger, rather than the Uni.

Welcome to the forum
I can add to -Jonny- suggestions to have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalBatteryIssue
Good luck,
Well, I've been charging it for a long time (2-3hours), but nothig...
Also, another strange thing poped up. whnen I leave the phone with the battery in it without charging for a while, and I plug the charger, the red lightturns on for like a munite and turns off again !!!!
I really don't know what to do, I don't even know what caused this problem, but from your replys I can tell that the problem is from the battery, and nothing is worng with the phone, cuz someone told me that it's a motherbord problem. So, is my phone ok? is it just a battery problem??
Thx for the replys, BTW
Suggestions
Try your battery in another Uni.
Try another NEW battery in your Uni.(you've )
Try to see if your device can be put in bootloader so to know it is not dead completely.
Simple suggestions.
But ..Been there...Done that..worked.
