Hi,
After upgrading to new ROM I performed hard reset on my vx6900. At the last screen during hard reset pocedure I press Send button as requested and it was a last time I ever saw something on my screen. Device is not waking up anymore when I plug power it always the red led is switching on (with or withoout batery). I took a 100% charged batery from another device, but it's not helping. I'm out of options I think I tried evrething: Hard reset combination, bootloader combination, keep it on charge for hours, then without battery for hours - no luck.
Could anybody help me?

Had you been switching to Android (NAND Flash)?
No, I performed hard reset after succefully loading NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.
Before NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 I loaded Vogue_unlocker_MFG-2.31 (initial attempt to load NFSFAN's WM6.5 without unlocker didn't work).
Is there any way to revive it after Red Led?
If you cannot put your device in bootloader, then you are toast
How are you trying to put the device in bootloader?
I guess it dead then Not waking up into boot mode after Pwr-snd-reset.
Also I tried any combination of buttons with reset. It is not waking up. And it is strange to me because I was just performing hard reset and following the screen prompt. Now I don't see any activities except this stupid red led. I though there is some sort of reincarnation procedure some "hard hard" reset?
To enter the Boot Loader mode....
Press and hold the following buttons:
Power (on top left of device) + Camera (on right of device, near the bottom) + Reset (small hole on bottom right of device, just right of the USB port. You can press this with the tip of your device's stylus).
It can be tricky to press all 3 of thes buttons at the same time, and you will probably need to use both hands.
You should see an odd rainbow on screen, indicating that you are in the Boot Loader mode. The device does not need to be connected to a computer of charger in order to enter Boot Loader mode.
If this does not work you may actually have the 1st bricked vogue I've ever seen...
(It didn't get wet, did it...?)

That is exactly why I was asking. What you are doing with power +vol keys is for the TP and not for the Vogue.
I used boot loader sequence already (pwr + camera + reset) between all other sequences it doesn't help, device is no show any vital signs the only thing that works is a red led.
I also noticed that when I power it up without batery and then insert the battery the red led is going away. Then Red led is blinking every time I press the reset.
It sounds that you may have fried your NAND...
Just to be sure, you didn't bump it, throw it, or sent it for a swim... have you?
Have you tried this?

May not work, but it is worth a shot.
Guys, when you get a red LED, it means your battery is fried. It's near summer so are you sure you didn't charge it in the car or something? Replace your battery and you'll be fine.

The OP already stated that he tried a 100% charged battery from another Vogue and nothing.
No, I didn't do anything brutal to that device, as i said it was absolutely responsive when I started the hard reset sequence and it had not history of stuck buttons, anyways I'm going to doublecheck all buttons to make sure nothing stuck and preventing it from boot (looks like it my last hope )
If that doesn't work. open it up and clean the dust and debris out of there with a can of spray air. There might be a spec of dust that is causing a short circuit. That actually happened to me during the 80386 days when I was putting together a computer and it wouldn't get past the post screen. Turned out, there was a spec of dust lying across 2 pins on the CPU.
I keep my phone in my pocket and every now and again I take the back cover off and there is a ton of dust in there.
Good luck.
So? Any news? Could you revive it?
Use this it will be fine as i have used it once!!!
Edited *This will help those that are stuck at the HTC welcome screen and cannot get past it to load IMCokeMan's Unlocker.**
Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.
Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.
I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.
I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.
I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions
For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.
1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker
Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36
Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier
3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.
5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.
6. Extract your official rom (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier, check here)
7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
8. Copy the file to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode, and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.

The OP is not stuck in bootloader. His device simply doesn't turn on.
Unfortunatelly nothing helps. I opened it up, even unscrewed completely and sprayed with dust remover. It's the same.
What I noticed is when I plug device to power without battery the red led goes on (it's normal behavior for all devices). Then I insert the battery while device is still plugged in (in my case to Laptop's USB). The red led goes away (also normal behavior for devices). Then I can hear USB connect sound from laptop and in few seccond message: "USB device not recognized".
Click on reset button causes device's Red Led to blink and I can hear USB re-connect sound from Laptop again. Any other buttons or combination of buttons on device don't do any diffrence.
You are only trying to charge via USB? You should have said this earlier. Get a charger (output of 1 A). I had the same thing happen to a Wizard once and I used a high output charger and it worked again (battery was brand new too).
USB cable was one of my desperate try-outs, before I was keeping it on stock HTC (1A) charger for days, with empty and full battery in and no luck

Reading the "How to root" thread here. I've rooted a few G1's and a MT3G in the past.
Anyways. I downgraded to RC29, downloaded Amon's recovery and Hard SPL.
Did the whole Telnetd, downloaded telnet from market and mount remount, flash yadda yadda as per stated.
Rebooted and applied the Hard SPL.
After that finished I rebooted and it just hangs on the G1 screen, Home/Power does nothing. Camera/Power does nothing. Trackball/Power just lights the LED up blue.
Will it live the rest of it's life as a door stop?
not being able to boot into anything is a brick but there have been many threads about people who have somehow reversed their brick so just search this forum and see if anything happends who knows it could happen. otherwise its a really shiny paper weight
Bummer. I'll search around a bit more and see if there might be a thread I missed. I don't want to dig into it and do the whole jtag crap since there is still a warranty on the phone.
This is the "How-to" thread I followed and has worked on every G1 I have rooted til this phone which is a brand new one from Tmo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Searching more I have read about people not flashing a radio before the SPL and caused a brick. If that is true why doesn't it state this as a necessary step?
Flashing the Radio before the SPL is needed for DangerSPL (although I seem to recall a thread debating that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 ), I didnt think it was needed for HardSPL, it sounds like a brick unfortunatly, but I am no expert.
It is thought that its safer to flash the SPL and radio ect via fastboot (see link above) , not that it helps to much now, but that is an old guide, it should be updated though
Yep. From what I have gathered is if you can't get into recovery (home+power) or fastboot (camera+power) and it hangs on the G1 boot screen. It's a brick.

its not a brick unless it doesn't turn on at all (depending on how you define the word "brick")
exact same thing happened to one of the G1 replacements my friend got sent to him...we sent it back and they sent him a new one
Nah it's not bricked, the HSpl isn't compatible with your ROM, try flashing he ROM again, or faulty ROM this happens a lot.
Howto fix:
1. Backup any files on your SD card that are valuable to you (you can copy them to your PC's hard drive)
2. Format your SD card to FAT32 ( put your SD in your PC)
Windows: Right-click on SD icon and select format
3. Download the RC29 / RC7 dreaimg.nbh file (don't rename it or your phone won't recognize it):
RC29 (US): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
RC7(Europe):http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
4. Put the file you just downloaded onto your freshly formatted SD card (make sure it is named DREAIMG.nbh, the rc7 file downloads with .NBH which is wrong)
5. Turn your phone off.
6. Hold down the Camera button, and press the Power button until the bootloader starts.
Note: On some G1s it may require pressing the action button (trackball), while on others it may require pressing the power button.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to flash the image.
8. When it's done, press the trackball.
9. Press the Call, Menu, and Power buttons at the same time to reboot. You may need to unplug your phone for this to work.
10. And you're done, your phone is in Manufacture default-settings.
If you want to flash a ROM follow a guide (start from the beginning)
Tell me if it worked or didn't worked!

what tally said....
but on the one i described, just to let you know, i flashed the rc29 dreaimg.nbh like 15 times, it would never get off the G1 boot screen

Try flashing the ROM again if you can go to the bootloader(Rainbow) screen try this:
1. take out the SD card
2. download this file ,open the folder and paste the dreaming.NBH file to the root of your SD card(use your pc or another phone to past this on your SD card).
2. you should get a gray screen once the card in placed back into the phone
3. then press power to start update
4. once the update is complete press the track ball then the rainbow(bootloader) screen should come back up,
5. pull out the battery and there you go your phone should work again
Note: If it didn't updated turn of your phone and turn it on by pressing (& holding) Power+Camera button.
Tell me if it worked

Doesn't work either. Connected, disconnected, SD card in or out, SIM card in or out and any combination of that.
Logcat just sits and says "Waiting for device" while the phone just hangs on the G1 screen. So unless there is a different way to get into the bootloader besides using Camera+Power I'd like to know.
Camera+Power and Home+Power are unresponsive.
Well... it sounds like you've got yourself a fancy plastic brick, just remember for next time
1. Downgrade
2. Radio
3. Spl

hello!
i got a question. i tried to get a energy rom on my phone. i did everything said in this thread: [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL]
updated drivers, had SPL 1.54.0000 on my phone and followed the instructions. when i executed USPL and did the following step in the guide:
"(USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c)...When the application appears click on Run USPL."
the programs output said everything is fine and the phone turned off like it should do. the only problem is, it did restart and i also cant switch it on with the power button... any suggestions?
regards
there is 2 points of view to this:
1. how did you actually end up where you are now?
2. and how do you solve that (probably depends on 1.)?
so:
1.
- did you, by any chance, ignore the warning to only flash with a full battery?
although a cable is plugged in, during the stages of flashing the device is not charged, but actually uses a lot of power, due to the fact that the screen is backlit the entire time and the nand is constantly accessed.
- could your usb cable be faulty and have terminated the connection midway through?
that could mean that you now have a broken spl, which is not much better than no spl at all.
2. some of the most primitive ways of getting the device back to life might be:
- have you tried switching it on with VOL- pressed (bootloader mode) instead of actually switching it on? (also, in that case, which spl is shown?)
- have you taken out the battery for half an hour and put it back in then and tried to switch it on or enter bootloader mode?
- do you have any way of either testing the battery outside of that specific device or charging it externally? (to make sure it is not actually empty, because in this state, your device might not charge it)
- and lastly, have you done this procedure before?
are you sure, you followed it to the letter? because any indication of going off-script might help us find the cause and then the solution to your problem.
if we can make sure, that your phone is not physically harmed (battery, usb connector...) and you are not in the worst luck about the timing of the error, we should be able to fix it.
Hi
to start you phone again you have to press "both" volume button down, at the same time you have to press the reset button as well,reset button is beside you SD Card on the back of you phone ,when you press all the button you will see a 3 colored screen on you phone if you see the 3 colored screen stop pressing the volume button,after that it is everything explaind on the phone screen.With this method you will delete everything on you phone and be back on you original phone settings.
no, that would be a hard reset and it does not affect the spl, without a proper spl, the phone cannot boot and a hard reset cannot change that, he needs to access bootloader mode to flash an spl and then a rom.
Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.
u8800,cm7,[email protected]
I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

Hi,
I was trying to update my phone to latest Froyo dragon and it was not booting. I then flashed it to Gingebread Yoshi but was happy with it so tried Froyo dragon again and noticed that I needed to update the radio.
I updated the radio it and seemed ok but then my battery dropped out. Now it will not boot pass the "MyTouch 3g" green splash screen. From investigating it seems that because hboot and radio are not matching versions this is the problem.
I cannot get into recovery mode at all. I cannot get in Fastmode or Hboot nor use AdB as usb it is not recognised by my computer. I have tried a few different computers but non recognise it. Blue led with trackball+power is the only key combo that works.
Things i have tried:
- Fully charged phone and left it on but it just goes flat eventually.
- Tried all different combinations to boot Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Home+ Power, Trackball down plus power loads with black screen and blue led.
- Downloaded various sappimg.zip and SAPPIMG.nhb files to sd using adaptor and tried to boot with no luck.
- I have also created a couple of goldcards but didnt make any difference.
Any other suggestions or do I just have a paperweight?
Is there other files that I can put on the goldcard so I can access recovery?
Does the phone need to have a valid SIM card in order to get into recorver,hboot,fastboot, or just to boot. I did try a sim once but did not go back to it.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Regads,

No, i don't think you need a SIM-card to get it running - didn't need one to debrick mine.
So, you tried many things, but i don't think there is a way to flash the phone with sappimg.zip or nbh because you don't get into fastboot mode.
What you can try:
- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again
- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you
- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):

If nothing works the only way to get it back to life is JTAG, maybe you can find someone who's doing that (where are you from?).
Hi Thanks,
Tried all above but no dice.
Anything else I could try. I am in Australia so don't know anyone with Jtag. I guess I may just have to sell it for parts. Seems such a shame though
Hopefully somebody finds a way.
Sorry, but i think there's nothing you can do for your phone. :crying:
Bluelight-Mode works (Trackball+Power), so only JTAG will help, but i don't know how to find this service in your area. Search for a repair-shop with JTAG in your area or ask here at XDA or some other community. Maybe find that service on ebay.
Another possibility is that you buy a Riff Box and learn how to unbrick your phone yourself - maybe provide your service for some other people around your area and earn the money you payed for the Riff Box. :laugh:
Good luck!
Hello all.
I have my old T-Mobile HD2 with the NAND rom you can see in my signature.
Everything was fine for 6 months till today, when my wife (I've given to her) couldn't open it and thought it was run-out from juice.
She plugged it on the PC and wait, while she was dealing with our baby-daughter. When I came back late in evening, I saw the phone with the led still orange, the screen black and the hard buttons flashed. I pressed them, but nothing happen.
I removed the battery, plugged it back again and... since then, the phone stops in the splash animated video (keep continues endless), without the led to flash (orange or whatever) and of course I never getting the Android rom's lockscreen!!!
What's going on???
I've read somewhere to press the red button and plug the battery back. I did and the root menu came up. I pressed the "12" (PowerDown) but the phone started-up again and of course... freezed on the animated splash screen!
Please, help me on this.
I did also hard-reset, by pressing both volume up/down and the red button...
After I pressed the red button (for 30 sec) and then plugged the battery back, I came into the black boot screen and I choose the "AD Recovery".
In the next screen I've seen, that the battery was 95% full!!!!
So, I just pressed the first choice (boot) and... nothing happen, again.
So, what am I suppose to press, in the "Recovery" screen?
Update
-----------
I went again to Recovery screen and I choose to re-install the rom from the SD card (zip file); I did it, the process began and finished, the dialogue wrote to press the "Next" to boot and... still freezed on the animated splash screen!!!!!!
So, what's going on? Is the rom damaged and also I have a problematic SD card and the problem can't be solved?
search how to logcat on google. download necessary files.
make a logcat and post here.
OR
download qtadb (search for it and download) and when in bootanimation, connect phone to qtadb and after it's connected, go to phone info. is system and data partition or any one of them full?
also try wiping cache/dalvik-cache in recovery
Did you checked battery pins if they aren't bent?
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using XDA
I succeed it; made it working!
I did wipeout/format everything except sd and reinstalled the rom and worked! (With NAND option).
