I-MATE JAMIN Dead

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..

No Life

I'm hoping to get some help with this...
Bought the Jasjar apparently with a bad battery... you would dissconect from the charger and it would go for a bit then die, reconnect to the charger and it would go fine.
Now, had it disconnected it died again but this time it wont start up again when connected to the charger. No red charging light.
Soft reset does nothing
Hard reset brings up the "press zero to restore press x to cancel", pressing either and it just dies again.
got a new battery, no change (dont know what the charge of the battery is like).... noticed when you remove the battery the red charge light comes on.... goes off as soon as the battery is inserted.
any advice or help would really be appreciated.

also
is there a way to check the charge of the battery out of the machine?

I would recommend to reflash your ROM, if not have one/ don´t know how
read the Wiki, you will find all you need there
Good luck

I have this exact same problem, I have a feeling it is the battery. Anyone know?

I put a new battery in, with no change unfortunatly.
I cant update the rom, you cant get to the bootloader, the only screen you can get to is hard reset screen.... but it dies again whatever option you choose.

Hey Bthorn, I was able to fix my device. It was not the battery.
All I did was reflash the ROM.
For this to work for you, you need to be able to enter Bootloader mode. Hold the Backlight Button + Power Button then press the Reset button. If you get to a screen that says "serial" and "v.xx" then you are good.
See the Wiki for details on how to continue:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
If you really can't get to the Bootloader though I don't know what else to do. Some other people suggest using the mtty method:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader

Unfortunatly you cant get to the bootloader mode to reset anything.

remove the battery wait until 10 minutes then plug it in again and press the reset button with the stylus
if no change try to hard reset the device with
-Press and hold the Comm Manager button and Voice Command
button on the device. At the same time, use the stylus to lightly
press the RESET button.
-Keep the Comm Manager button and Voice Command button
pressed, and the following message will appear on the screen:Press Send to restore factory default , other key to quit​-Release the two buttons, and press the Send button to perform a
hard reset.

please
oh come on please help me!!! ((( i need f*c*i*g help...hurry i need my phone (((((( xDDDDDD

Dont Feel panic!
Hi dude, That happened to me.. your case its very simple, your battery have to low charge level, so the recharge circuit can't start.
what u have to do? simple:
(you can see many video tutorials of this in youtube, and it worked for me)
1: take a 5VDC charger, cut the connector (then you will have just 2 cables the Positive+ one and the Negative- one)
2: take out the battery from your phone, and put the +cable on the +Pin of the phone, and do the same with the -Cable.
3: Put the battery on your cellphone (the cables can't touch any other pin only the + and - pins)
4: connect the charger, wait 10 Secs then turn on your cell phone, let it charge at least 10 Minutes (no more than 15 Minutes!) then turn of you cell phone, put out the battery, remove the cables, put the battery on the phone again, turn it on and charge it with a normal USB charger!
5: Enjoy
Notes:
-i use this method with my Wizard when my USB connector get broken, its 100% Secure for your device.
-you can know which is the + and - pin looking on the Battery
-if your battery don't take any charge its because its Depleted, you can found a new on Ebay =)
Good Luck!

While phone is off do the following:
1. Press volume down button and power off button both together till you see Android Robot with (!) Exclamation mark;
2. Now release both keys and press volume keys (both up and down volume keys together);
3. This will show you Stock Recovery;
4. Now from volume down key select "wipe Data" and execute it with power key;
5. Now select Reboot.
This will probably resolve the issue. However, if the issue still persists then you need to use RSD lite to flash your phone with the some Froyo SBF.
For more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: To enter bootloader menu so that RSD lite recognize your phone you need to have its USB drivers installed on your system and while booting you need to press Volume Up key and Power key together while phone is off to enter Bootloader menu to flash with SBF.]
Hope this helps!!
ATB!!

Why?
Cause a damaged OS, cannot charge your battery. you must pull your battery out of defy and charge the battery externally.
Or you buy a new battery, or let charge your old battery by a cellphone-seller, or asks a friend of yours with a defy to charge your battery for you etc.
Have u checked the voltage of your battery, it must be 4,1 V if the battery is fully charged.
I think esok44 is right your battery is empty, there is not enough power in it to start your defy.

i just tried the usb modification to connect it to the battery directly,,done all the steps as told ... nothing!!!
i'm really getting frustrated cuz its been like this for the past one week,,i've tried everything
don't have any friends with defy phone...
can't think of anything else to do but to brake the phone

well if everything fails, give it to motorola...
if it really is broken and everything fails, then try it.
would be the last option for me, but at least it is one...
But as is said, had the same problem and in may case it worked...
i've read on xda about an usb-manipulation to flash sbf when battery is empty, maybe you could try this...
I'll add a link to it
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489289

i have encountered this problem previously and the solution was replacing the battery, as RATTAR said the battery is not charged. try to charge your battery or try another charger, once it's charged rsd will recognize it. don't panic or despair.

N4 Bricked!! No responses! Just red led when I plug in to AC/USB

Hello guys, first than nothing, sorry for my bad english, isnt my native languaje. I got this problem yesterday in the night of the new year!!!!!!!:crying: I was rooted, using Xylon and Faux Kernel, but the problem appears from nothing!!
The first thing that I detected was, the phone take a WHILE!!! for charge.... then, out of the power, the phone get overheating and discharging so fast, never in life that happends, when N4 got discharged i try to turn on again but download mode appers in the screen, finally I get in the recovery, then I did a wipe cache/system and factory reset. Install again the Xylon... but when phone finally turns off, when I plugged in to AC absolutelly nothing happends, the led just turn in red, and the N4 dont start in FB, dont get charge, dont do a sh*t !!!! I conect it to the PC but also nothing appends, the N4 doesnt appear in my device list.
So... my N4 its broken?

There was possibly something wrong with the kernel and rom combination that caused your phone to overheat. I think eventually the heat may have damaged your hardware. Sorry but, if something was wrong in the first place it was not a good idea to reinstall the same thing that was causing the problem, if I were you I would have flashed a stock ROM. My only advice now would be to RMA it and pray
EDIT: I found this if it helps at all:
If you are unable to access the settings menu of your device, you can still reset your phone by performing a Hard Reset. Here are the instructions:
If your phone is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your phone becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

Before you try anything else, try and leaving it plugged in for a while and then try turning it on. Or leave it plugged in to a computer then try turning it on.

Try this. I haven't had it happen to me, but I do have a friend who this exact same thing happened and he thought it was bricked. He left it plugged into AC over night, and in the morning it would turn back on.

First than nothing, thanks for reply, I appreciate your intentions to help me.
I will leave it charging all the night and while Im working too... I hope after that, the phone at least turn on.
I dont install the STOCK ROM because I dont have it in my internal memory and I was in my girlfriend house, the night of the 12/31/12, there is not much to do...
I did the same post, but a little bit more explained

It could be bad battery, how long did bought of you had working phone, how many times did you charge?
Did you use out of the box charger?
Did you have problems with usb jack?

I bought it the 13/nov..
I received it 29/nov.
I ALWAYS use stock charger, only 1 time i try to charge it in my car, but it was less thant 5 minutes, I decided dont charge with the car because the energy variates when I accelerate...
After that, I use my phone quiet normal.

I had this problem with my nexus 7. I think my battery died all the way and it couldn't charge. The stick charger wasn't doing anything. But I plugged it into my computer for a few minutes and tried turning it on. Then when the loading screen appeared I ran it to it's stock charger and charged it to full. Your battery probably died. Try different combinations of ways to get it to take a charge. Just long enough to turn on then plug it into its charger. Though the overheating could have fried it
