Is my XDA IIi dead : Just red light

Hey all
I have an XDA IIi, which was working totally fine. I bought a windows smartphone, which was to replace the IIi as my main phone, so I took the sim out of the IIi and put it in the new phone. Put another sim in the IIi and attempted to power it on, I got nothing, so I put it on the cradle..all I get is a steady red light from the right LED.
When I was powering the phone off initially to take the sim off, I turned the PDA off, removed the cover, slid the red switch, waited a few seconds, and removed the battery etc....
The red light flashes when the battery is removed, and goes steady again when put back in. Sometimes it goes off when put back in, but nothing else happens.
I have tried soft resetting, hard resetting, hard reset while holding down every key I can think of at the same time, but still no go.
Is my IIi dead forever, or is there something that can be done to get it working again?
Thanks all

same thing happened to my friends XDA2 and no one ever was able to reply back nor did he ever figure out what happened to it because his warranty was up and he just bought a new one from someone, if you find out whats wrong please let me know because thats the SAME way his went bad, by changing a SIM card

I take my sim out all the time. is yours unlocked? even if it's locked to o2, it might not accept other o2 simcards. have you tried putting the original sim back in? Hard reset? I've never had it show a RED light before. this is interesting...

I have same problem after I put device on charge and after five - ten minutes his back to life

I too had this problem when i left my m1000 in my coat pocket over the weekend. It was completely dead, plugging it into the cradle to charge just gave me nothing, but if i left it, after around 10 minutes, the rred light came on, then changed to amber after around half an hour.
Phew. just dead battery. Have you tried the other battery that came with your xda ?

Hi, I had this wierd problem the other day, sorted it with a hard reset
Hope this helps.

my HD froze, hard reset not working

Hi all, first time poster long time browser I checked the wiki and did a search but couldn't find a similar post. Here goes..
Yesterday i tried to connect to this protected wifi at a coffeeshop, but my HD did not manage to connect even after entering the network password. In the end it froze. The home screen was showing, i could feel the vib when pressing the screen, but no action happened. I did a soft reset, but that didnt make a difference... nothing working still, while it is still trying to connect to wifi.
Then I first did one hard reset. I managed to get to the screen where i am asked to touch the screen in order to configure the device. While i could feel the vib, nothing happened. I did a second hard reset, ended up at the same screen, but this time there is no vib when pressing the screen... and still nothing is happening. Same situation when doing a third hard reset.
I am lost for ideas.... Have anyone of you ever experienced something similar and what did you do to resolve it? Or have anyone any suggestions as to what I should try next??

Very bad dude,
what you can do (i dont know if this will work).....Flash your original rom again. it is a kind of a hard reset, but maybe this will work.
can you boot to boatloader (three color screen), and see the text USB when connected to pc?

Hi Kadir,
thanks for your answer.
I am trying to flash my rom using the excellent tool Hard-SPL package from OliNex, but to no avail.... i keep getting error message 202 meaning that it can't connect with the device...

This may sound obvious, but just in case... have you tried to remove the battery when the device is turned off? Is the only way to ensure you are fully turning it off, in case you have some kind of 'static' acting up. I had a similar issue on a PDA and also in my notebook, and was solved by removing battery.

hi,
thanks for the advice. I wish this was all it took, but alas no, i am not that lucky. I am starting to think this is a hardware issue....

can you see the 3 color screen?(when phone is off push power on + volume down button and keep volume down pushed).
if yes can you see it you are now in the bootloader. just chech if you see text usb, this means its connected.
and then flash, no 202 anymore.
do not use hard spl if you want HTC to repair your phone(warranty issue)

Don't you have to disable USB connection in ActiveSync too? Or was that just me?

I found the Flash program killed active sync anyway, but you're right all the guides say to disable it.

Problem while booting my trinity phone

Hi,
I have got my trinity phone one year ago and never had a problem since last week. When starting my phone, it stops on the first screen (with "orange" logo) and nothing more happens.
I tried to reset it without succeed. The phone is not detected by the "activeSync" to make it flushable.
Help please !

my problem is mor or less the same... only that dont apears any image on screen and the green led is constantly on...

I have loaded a long time ago an old version of ROM Gelly.
This ROM worked perfectly to a friend who suggested to do the same with my trinity.
The PROBLEM is that when i try to open the pda it freezes to the first srceen showing the rom version and after....nothing!
I tried to load again Gelly from the bootloader, it begins to run, it runs about 1% then the trinity makes a flash (this means it loses the connection with the pc) and then shows me again the first screen....
Please i need help!

me to. i try install the rom original and my pda is living again.
try this to

hi,
2 things ...
have you tried a hard reset ? (hold both softkeys & hit reset button)
and when flashing:
when you first run the rom upgrade from PC with phone on Activesync, it is quite common for phone to hang at the bootloader screen ...
worry not -
just re-run the upgrade from PC again immediately, without disconnecting or attempting to switch phone off.
(the word USB should be visable on device under the coloured bars)
if you do get hung up at bootloader screen a hard reset should at least get you back to where you were, and you can try re-flash again.
hope this helps,
regards,
Kevin

My trinity won't work anymore...
Hi all!
My trinity wont't work anymore. When i press the ON/OFF-button, the display is lighten up a bit, then the buttons are lighten up. And nothing more.
When i will go to bootloader mode, it is the same.
And when i will to a hard reset, the trinity ask me to press SEND or END key for restore factory default or cancel. When i choose the SEND key, on my display some ridicoulous letters appear, but nothing more.
When i try KITL mode, everything is the same.
Can someone help please?
Because i can't do something on my trinity
EDIT (maybe this can help my helper ):
After some time, the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore.
When i try to charging the battery, it only works, when the buttons are not lighten up (when i switch on, charging is ok; when the display is lighten up a bit, charging is ok; when the buttons are lighten up, charging won't work; when the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore after a time, charging is ok)

[Black Screen] S3 neo, READ and suggestions are welcome.

Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!

Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks

Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.

@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times

They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?

try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.

My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....

try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist

How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox

Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:

Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.

Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...

LG G2 not turning on/bricked?

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my LG. Yesterday i was casually lurkin some internet or whatever. Havent done anything suspicious or something. Then i switched phone off and put it for a while on the side. When I tried to unlock it after that it was impossible. Phone just doesnt respond. I havent rooted it or done anything connected with roms etc, not into this stuff really. When i plug it into charger red LED starts blinking, then LG logo appears, then battery icon and after that its just charging like normally and still red LED lights. Right now its fully charged so instead of red, the LED is green. The buttons combinations dont work neither (hold power,hold power and vol-) besides holding vol+ and power. I have to hold it for a while, then plug into charger and then some kinda download menu appears, but it does nothing too. Still cant start the phone. However few hours ago i just tried holding power for a bit and everything worked perfectly. Then i locked the screen and *bam* bricked again. I know there are many topics like that but i havent found the exact same problem with solution yet. Every help would be highly appreciated. :good::good:

BUMP please any advice. It actually Turner on one more time, but when i tried using power button, at first it didnt respond, then after few seconds it went bricked back. I managed to take off the backcover so maybe there is sth i can do?

I could be wrong but sounds more software related then hardware to me, maybe try to use one of that flash tools or pc suite to do a clean flash and sadly lose all your data.
If that doesn't help idk....
You don't have a backup do you?

No, unfortunately i dont. I didnt expect that to happen.

Yo so I actually managed to turn it on (i ve no idea how) and its working fine. Im scared to press the power button so it will be unlocked all the time. Ive already done the general backup of photos, music etc, but if there is some good app to make solid backup or something please let me know.
Soo is there any other option to find out if it is finally repaired than pressing power button? I can access data on PC so maybe theres the way to fix it now? If i press the button probably it will brick again, and then after couple of days it will suddenly start working, so id rather dont do this..
