Wizard Died? (Startup issue!) Please Help!

Hello dear XDA-dev members;
I had a problem this morning with my Wizard. I have a G3 device which i had downgraded to Button ROM for unlocking etc. It was working really fine until this morning. Last night i have turned off the phone radio (wireless and bluetooth was not enabled)and the battery was charged almost at %60.
This morning i woke up, i saw that he was entered in USB recovery mode itself. (the screen with red, green, blue, with my IPL 1.0 / SPL 1.0) , i was terrified because nobody touched my phone. Then i have pushed over power button, it shut-down. I've just waited a few minutes then i've just pushed again over power button, it started with my windows mobile 5 splash screen and showing my ipl/spl. the screen is really bright at this moment but fades out, when he started to fade out, he just shut-down itself.
I've read and searched over the forum, and though that it was my battery which was dead. I've plugged it with wall charger and waited almost one hour, and the charger led was red. I've tried to turn on, he just came on and go over my Today screen! and the charger led turned to green. Almost 45 seconds later the phone turned off itself. I've tried to re-start but it's same. I'm getting windows splash screen, and the screen brightness starts to fade out and the phones shuts down.
I've tested my battery with a volt-meter, i'm getting 4.86 volts. i have also checked power pins inside the phone, i'm also getting power there (4.6 volts) when it's connected with wall-charger, so i think that it's fine.
I have tried to hard reset, pushing communication + voice command button + soft reset button, i had the black screen, he said that it was ok, but same here. I was running with Button rom as i said before. (1.05)
Please help.

if you still can get into bootloader, it should be fine

It was entered into bootloader mode itself. When i'm trying to start it, the splash screen comes on, it shows WM5 and my IPL/SPL and 20 seconds after, it shut down. I really need help because it's my only phone that i own.

Have you had your phone more than a year? It may be the battery.
Replacement batteries cost only $5 on ebay or Amazon. Just get a battery so you can be sure that isn't the problem. In any event, you will probably need a new battery so you may as well try this.

I've gone to buy a new battery, but it's the same thing. It just shuts-down irregullary at splash screen, or today screen.

Some faults in memory result in the device needing to soft reset in an attempt to reclaim memory. Perhaps you could try flashing to another rom. I dont own a g3 so I cant really advise you any further.

Mine not exactly like you but automatic bootloader or stuck at IPL screen. It was out of nowhere but thought a bad flash. When trying the hard reset, it would come as "failed".
Nearly threw phone thinking too old and dead but this came to rescue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963. If not tried, give it a shot.

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.

Help please

Hi, hope someone can help. Baterry went dead whilst on a call, it was low. Tried to recharge through USB "device not recognised". Tried power and Orange LED comes on momentarily then phone cycles through booting. Sometimes you can see the boot screen other time just the vibration is felt. Tried soft reset hard reset every which way power on whilst connected, power off etc. Removed battery tried again, same. Left battery out for 30 minutes, same. It now appears to be stuck in bootloader screen and still cycling. How long does one have to leave the battery out? What else can I try???
Jerry rigged another destop charger so I could align the contacts and got some charge in the battery. Put it back in and charging normally, phone booted up as though nothing had happened. No hard reset evidence.

[Q] Phone Rebooting over and over

I put Android 2.2 on the Phone and everything worked fine for a couple of days then it shut off and would not turn back on. If I plug it into the USB I can get it to reboot but it just keept rebooting to the Dark Forces screen
I flashed it back to Windows 6.5 and it still just keeps rebooting to the HTC screen
Any suggestions for how I fix this?

Bent battery pin?

Wow, that was exactly the problem
thanks

Hehe, it happens a lot.
If a hd2 is in reboot loop, battery pins should be the first check.

it is a perfect information... i catched it.. good luck.

Maybe the phone was updating and you brute force rebooted it.
If you are not DIY, you need to take the phone to a service center but that would cost money.

The Phone wasn't updating, many people are having this problem, me being one of them, here to the phone started lagging, so decided to reboot, and then It won't turn on. Tried all the tricks, ended up waiting 3 days and put it in de charger, after 5 minutes I I kept the power button pressed and it gave a sign of life, but showed the battery empty, waited 5 more minuted and tried again. This time it turned on, after a week exactly the same problem, after 3 days I could start it with the same procedure, at this time there was an update, installed the update, and tried to restart, it now turns off, does start, but I don~t have to wait dthe three days., after some time I can start it manually again, but it is a clear problem with the phone. ANd I expect it to be software related.

Phones have become complicated like computers, the phone was lagging because it was doing something for sure then you shut it down.
If you're able to turn the phone ON, I suggest you STOP trying wrong moves and do a hard reset.

Ok, last time I succeeded in turning on my phone, I went I to updates and feedback and send message with the logs of my phone. Today I got a reply, they have determined that it is the motherboard and they adviced me to take it to the nearest deviceocation and have it checked out

Your option was to "hard reset" the phone and that is what any repair shop will try as a first step.
Don't waste your time with incompetent and misleading scammers' replays because no shop will waste time checking a motherboard unless it's a $1,000+ phone BUT they will replace it anyways, they don't waste time checking it.
And do you have a Xiaomi or Poco service center near you?? LOL
I also sent a message and the logs to updates and feedback but they never replayed back, they also both Xiaomi and Poco NEVER replayed back to my e-mails and requests made on their Facebook pages, that means these companies are crooks and scammers.

What worked for me was waiting a few days to drain batter, then when I plug in and there is a charge icon I just wait and after a while(5 minutes or something) poco logo appears and after that when it goes back to battery icon I click volume buttons like crazy so it won't die, then when it shows one percent I hold power button while still clicking volume and it shows poco again(stop clicking now). It then shows miui and works fine
