Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard) bricked :((

I have upgraded my Qtek 9100 with new Windows Mobile 6 WWE. After restarting the device everything worked OK, i just setted up basic things (clocks, owner information etc..) - nothing peremptory. After this I restarted it with soft reset again and it still worked... But then i shortly pressed power button (just to turn off the display) and after 10 minutes i wanted to turn it on again, but nothing happened.. The GSM LED diode still winked, but I couldnt turn the device on. So I used soft reset and again nothing happened, just GSM LED diode stopped winking. - Since this it was totaly bricked. I also tryed hard reset and bootloader mode, but none of this appered. The battery was 100% charged and I tryed to charge it again, but it didnt helped. I also tryed to take out and insert again the battery, but it still was unsuccessful What should I do now?

If the lights are still blinking then the phone still has life and appears to be operating (in some fashion). If you plug in the USB cable, does the charging light come on? If that does, then it is definetly still running.
I would suggest you taking the battery out and leaving it out for 5mins - 30mins. Then putting it back in and try turning it on. If nothing, try doing a hard reset after that. Also remove your SD card.
Good luck

Lights arent blinking at all. When I plug in the USB cable or charger, also no lights. I also tryed hard reset after plugging the battery, but again unsuccessful

Sorry, but its sure sounding like a bricked phone (although I've never heard of one that bricked sometime later. Usually its right after an upgrade).
Only other possibility is your battery has been completely drained. Can you get another battery to try in the phone? If not, then you can try jump starting the battery.

Yes, I know that is bricked. What should I do to unbrick it?

Temporary brick at most if it was still running after the update. Try the different combos of battery out and in. This sounds like what a device does when the battery is bombed. If nothing, a new battery is definitely in order before you assign it permanent doorstop status. Good luck.

Got a non-working Magician

Hi,
a friend showed me his broken Magician (T-Mobile MDA Compact).
It did not turn on, no led, no nothing...
I plugged in my fully charged battery from my Charmer and connected it to my power supply, same thing.
I tried to enter boot loader (power, camera, reset pin), no reaction.
Any hope for this thing? Is there a sort of even "harder" reset?

Your phone may have 'bent' or broken battery terminas that aren't making contact.

Hi,
sorry I know this doesn't answer your question at all, but I was just wondering if you managed to get your Magician fixed in the end.
My daughter's SPV M500 recently stopped working, pretty much the same symptom, so I was wondering if you were successful in fixing it, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance!

Try this- open the back of the device, undo all the screws, open until you see the circuitboard. on one side (i can't remember which one) check the widest cable that connects to the circuitboard - undo the latch and pull it out, push it back in and close the latch, then try turning it on. that cable keeps coming out in mine.

The widest ribbon, is actually the LCD ribbon.
He would have still heard the introductory 'beep' if the unit was actually working (even if the LCD wasn't connected).

i got the same problem.....
i am surfing on the net of my XDA when it shutdown i thought it was a battery problem so i try to charged it but i've noticed that it didn't opened for a couple of hours of charging. i tried to reset but it didn't work. so i decide to hard reset my phone but again it did'nt work, and now my XDA II mini WM 6.1 is totally dead.... i also tried to flash my phone but the activesync of my phone cant detect my PC, and even rebooting my phone also did'nt work.
i've also noticed the redlight blink on the led for a seconds when i charged and unplug the charger...

Wizard not turning on. Doesn't boot.

Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?
~Infinity

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method

Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.

I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?

Anyone that's here help?

I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.

I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me

i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.

With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje

ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.

Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.

i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..

Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.

[Q] Dead Universal

I've got a bog standard O2 XDA Exec (Universal) which I haven't used for ages, so I got it out, connected it to the pc to charge it and nothing happened.
I thought it might be the battery so I bought a new one and the same thing happened, so I bought an external charger, charged the battery and tried again, and it still won't switch on.
I've tried a hard reset, and get the press 0 or press X screen but nothing appears to happen!
I can get it into bootloader mode where it says 'serial' at the top of the screen and 'v 1.00' at the bottom.
Is there anything else I need to do to get it to switch on?
Many thanks in advance,
Neil

You may look into the sticky guide, good luck

If you can get into bootloader mode, have you tried reflashing?

Moto G5 Plus Dead (only white light blinking)

This is my first time posting here so hi everyone.
I have a problem with my moto g5+.
I purcased my moto g5+ around a year a go completely new and ended up not using it.
Now my primary device broke down and i thought its time to switch only one problem.
It won't turn on.
When I connect charger white led will consistantly blink but nothing else happens no battery charging screen , nothing.
It wasn't compleatly discharged since I charged it up till 100% and turned it off when I puted it away , i still did charge it a couple times during the year of not using it and last time was a month ago and it charged just fine.
No water or Physical Damage has been done to the phone no rooting also , it just wont turn on.
I tried hard reseting it , tried to hold power button for 5 min tried to enter boot loader to access recovery mode with no luck.
I used original charger and cable that came with phone to charge it.
Since warranty is out of the way by this point because i bought it in july im seeking a fix or recommendation here.
All help will be appreciated

It seems your device had hard bricked, you can recover it by using the blank flash file.
Here is the procedure:-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/moto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-recognized-t3636457
But, I don't understand how you are device got hard bricked as you need to downgrade or root it to get your device bricked. But you can recover it by above link.

Tried doing this methode but my pc wont reconize the device as connected , when i connected it to the pc it showed lightning symbol like charging , i left it to charge for 2h but still nothing.

In order to use blankflash successfully your PC needs to be in test mode. To do this
Code:
Click Start, and then type cmd in the Search box.
Under Programs, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator.
At the command prompt, type the following text, and then press Enter: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF.
Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your computer
When you plug in phone, look at device manager, ports, and see that it is connected. It should say something like "Qualcomm HS- USB Diagnostics " with a port "Comm 7" or whatever #.
1.Be sure Qualcomm drivers are installed.
2.Make sure your Hard Bricked Moto is connected in device manager under ports .
3.Hold volume down and power until you see it connect under ports. It should say "qhsusb-bulk" You should hear a slight sound from PC when it connects. This can be very tricky as another member [ Rakesh1b] explained his method.
trick is to press and hold the power button then it disconnects and connects to pc u could hear sound from pc then press voldown and power and launch blankflash.bat at the same time i mean same time then it detects and leave the buttons once you see the script running if not it will reboot the device and after running the script it will be booted to fastboot mode . if u failed 1st time repeat same power off then remaing things same as mentioned.

Good luck, as it is not an easy process. One time it took me nearly half an hour to time it right, to get blankflash to run successfully. Also I played with a phone that would never flash Vaches blankflash for the G5 + but had to use the one for addison, Moto Z play. When that happens you have to do the extra step of flashing the addison to potter files. Hopefully you won't have to do all that, but just warning that sometimes it is necessary. Like I posted before, in device manager on PC, make sure under ports it shows as qhsusb-bulk under the port it lists as. Also be sure you have adb/fastboot and all its drivers correctly installed. I am really curious as to how it got hard bricked, because even doing my test phone, it is difficult to hard brick it. I have this "test phone" that has a bad microphone, so I have run it through all kinds of crap, rather than jeopardise my every day phone.

If your phone was in oreo, you maybe want to try the addison (moto z play) blankflash, i once bricked mine and the potter blankflash always failed.
Also try the USB 2.0 ports, as the 3.0 ones doesn't recognizes it.

Put it on the charger and let it charge. IT could just be deader than disco.
Also check your cable make sure it's a data cable buddy.

Well good news is , that i manged to get it to show up as the device with which i should be able to do blank flash.
The problem now is it won't stay in bootloader to be recognized as that device longer than 30 sec.
It just turns off after some time and pc automaticly wont recognize it anymore.

Well managed to get it to point where my pc recognized phone as device buuut another thing came up. It only is recognized for max 30sec after witch phone gets disconected from pc. Any way to fix that? Or mby im doing something wrong here? I'm starting to consider battery replacment which i dont want to do because it awful to replace battery on this thing.

What is it recognised as? Battery replacement may save you from having to go through the blankflash process if the device will not stay on while plugged in. Only use blankflash if it shows as qhsusb-bulk.

yes it showed up like that but like I said it wont stay on. I remembered one time when I got it to work this month. I was able to boot in to android , factory reset it but the problem was as soon i pluged in the charger phone went from 44% up to 89% in 2 sec then droped to 14% and then to 0 and turned off. I was able to turn it on again after that , it showed 44% like before the charger was connected then I tried to charge it while it was off and since then I haven't been able to go past booting screen since it just turns off after like 30sec on boot screen.
Mby i should just buy a new battery and see if that will fix it.

I would recommend that or to take it to a service center. Using the blankflash method could brick the device forever (if it's just a battery/display problem), also you will have to live with another devices bootloader and resulting problems from that.

Well service center is out of the way since closest one to me is like 200km away . I should be able to replace it my self so no problems there. I just hope that maybe replacing the battery will fix everything since the phone is practicly brand new and it would be painful and expensive if it's not a battery problem but like motherboards or smth like that.

Reboot your pc, and connect the phone to the wall charger for about 10 minutes, then try again the blankflash, and when it's done just play around with the volume up/down buttons just to keep the bootloader on, and use the g5+ toolkit to flash the oreo stock firmware
in any case, this is the blankflash i used it

How did you managed to show it up as a device , i couldn't. I tried everything that i understood from written on these forums, installed qualcomm drivers , moto g5 plus drivers. The device doesn't show up in device manager, its just blinking and doesn't show anything else , i tried charging it overnight. The Led light does go away after a while when i put it o charging, but when i hold down the power button and volume down key it starts blinking again and nothing beyond that

Well for me it works like this , i leave it for about 12h (over night) untouched , then after that I can put it on charger and get in bootloader with holding down power button and vol down button at the same time. I have seen some other people that have revived their phones like this usualy they say to just leave it for 24h but for me it works after 12h. if u can get in to the bootloader
after those hours and the phone doesn't turn off (like mine) I would suggest that u leave it for charging in bootloader for atleast 2h and then try to power it on in factory mode thats how I got it to work one time. I hope this will help you.

Thanks for replying.
A few points to clear with 12 hours untouched ,do you mean i have to left phone as it is without even charging and if so after 12 hours for how much time do you charge it before getting it to bootloader and did you charge it with the moto turbo charge or just a regular charger or with computer.
