hi,
thnx for the help.. i did follow the steps mentioned.. but it styll doesnt wrk. whn i try to flash the rom.. it supposedly looses connection wid the computer .. the screen looses the light buh the wizard is on all the way.. u cant use it though.. buh the lights are still blinkin.. (the wifi and phone)
thnx

hey, my mda doesnt even turn on anymore, do u guys think its the battery but the battery was fine when i flashed it but then it doesnt boot to the window, so i took the battery out and put it back in and it doesnt turn on anymore.. i tried the camera, rest button and other stuffs. do u think my phone is bricked? or i should def. get a new battery and try it out?

I suggest you back to your Official rom first then start over again. I do this many times. Activesync always loose its connection before start flashing. It's a normal procedure. When you mention that your Wizard is still up and on the way, what you mean exatcly? Be more specific bringing point details on where you are stuck for instance. Then I'll try to help you out.
Good luck.

Sounds a power problem to me. I've been into this couple of times after being in a bootloader mode for a long time. Plug the Wizard directly into the powerwall to start charging then back to your flashing process first doing with an official rom. I don't think you have bricked it.

sry, i forgot to mention that it doesnt even charge too, both powerwall or pc

Try to enter in a bootloader mode by hold on the camera button while pressing the reset button. You'll go to bootloader. If not, remove battery one more time, wait seconds and put it in back. Then, force bootloader again and try to charge through powerwall. You should get an orange light or similar during recharging. Check your model. Hope it helps you this time.

which version is it ,G3 or G4,and which Rom were trying to upgrade with.
Well,if its a G3 then,there's some power problem,but if it's a G4 and you tried to flash a Rom with IPL/SPL included,well its a brick.

Yeah...unfortunately zabardast_1 is right about your device. If it is a G4 and you flashed a G3 ROM, you could have bricked your techtoy! Hope you knew what you was doing at that time!
Try to always provide enought information regarding your environment and device so we can help you out better!

I would have probably just done a hard reset to see if that solved the problem. This would be too annoying for me to handle and I wouldn't want to put up with that. I don't know what apps you have installed but perhaps you have something trying to launch at the same time when you turn WIFI on or Audio Manager - Strange that it happens for both of these. Perhaps you have apps trying to obtain updates or trying to connect to internet automatically once you turn WIFI on and this is causing your system to become too slow and unresponsive as it is trying to do too much at once. (doesn't explain audio manager I know) - I havn't experienced this problem myself thankfully -

now when i try to turn it on it needs few times just to boot up but when it boot up it is just hanging up after few seconds or minutes i have done few soft reset and hard reset and it doesn't help i don't know what to do.

That sounds buggered to be honest. Seems like a hardware error. I've dropped mine from about 50ft before, but it was grass. So I don't know how it really affects it. You say it vibrates when you try to turn it on?
Well, first thing I'd try is taking the battery out, then a hard reset. From then on, flash a different ROM and hard reset again after.

but i don't know how to flash the rom can you send me a link to instructions coz i am new on this forum,already i founded from the opal one,but i can't find a instruction under,can you help me.

Hardware or software bug ?

Hi,
For the last month I noticed that Left softkey (Phone softkey) is freezing.. Now this is becoming more often. The only solution I found is when it freezes to press windows start button at the top left corner and then the phone is working normaly again. At the moment I press left softkey and it freezes, I see that background for that button drops in (the animation works). Then, to un-freeze it, I press verry gently with stylus windows start button.. The rom upgrade didnt work, so I dont know if this is hardware or software bug ???
Any idea ??

It sounds like a firmware issue, especially since you had attempted to upgrade the ROM version and failed to do so. Have you tried performing a hard reset? This will restore the phone back to default factory settings and should resolve this problem.
I would strongly advise you to first backup your data (Contacts, Emails, SMS, etc) using PIMBackup.
To perform a hard reset, please try the following:
(1) With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
(2) Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
(3) Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset.
Regards.
p.s. if you would like some detailed information on how to unlock your phone to upgrade to another ROM version, such as a custom ROM, then please carefully read the following guide.

Hi again,
Thanks for your replay. I succeded with ROM upgrade. The problem appeared while I was using previous ROM version (some clean WWE) and then I flashed to custom ROM few days ago thinking that I had a lot of programes instaled on previos ROM and if I install a clean ROM problem will dissapear.. Now I see I was wrong.. I dont realy get it.
I was following the guide from your post while I was upgrading the ROM I have now. And when I did, I did hard reset..
Good thing is that I found the temporary solution how to unbug it (by pressing start button) otherwise I would be verry pissed of as I dont have warranty
Did enyone experienced same problem ?

Have you tried to dismantle the back-case? If you actually damaged the button inside the phone, I guess the only way is change the damaged part...

No Answer ?!

Only thing I can think of is to doc-format (mtty). And then flash ROM again. Then make sure you Hard Reset.

wow , thanks for guide me.
as your experiences , this work would be harmful for the device ?
thankx

It's not harmful - basically it totally wipes the device removing everything (including garbage). So you will, of course, need to flash a ROM afterwards.
