It wont turn on after trying to update

My name is carlos and im new in the forum.
This is my problem. I have an HTC Imagio. I tryied to update it but i fail because my phone wont turn on again. I dont know what can i do because I new in the htc world and I dont know how can I start.
Please heeeeeeelpppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Please provide some more details: Does it power on at all? Is it stuck on a certain screen? Please describe what's going on.

Look, the phone doesnt turn on, it cant enter to the soft-reset or the hard-reset. When I pluged to the computer, I can heard an a disconected sound (like, when you disconect a usb). The computer recognize it as an a Damage Dispositive. I didnt try charge the battery in a universal charger yet, but thats it all the info that I can give you.
I hope you can have an a solution

So, have you tried to charge the phone yet?
When you plug it in, either to the wall charger or to a computer through a USB cable, does the little red light come on?
With the battery charged and turning the phone on, does it do ANYTHING?
If it truly will not do ANYTHING, you most likely DO have a dead phone - but this is not a common occurance.

when I had trying to charge the phone on the wall, the red light wont come on.
I think that I would like to try with a universal charger. Do you have any other method to fix my problem??

What did u flash? A Hspl or an rom/radio image? If u charge the batery with universal charger, and u pres volume down an power does the device enter in a tricolor screen?

Unbrick
Unbrick a phone just can be made with JTAG tools...

Have you tried soft reset (red button next to the battery) and volume down? This should have take you directly to the ROM installation boot screen... or whatever they call it these days. If that does happen you can plug it into the computer and install the MR1 or MR2 update..

[Q] Phone will not charge, can't get past boot screen

I'm using donut with NAND. This morning my phone seemed to have drained the battery overnight, and was completely off. When I plug it in it in the charge light will not come on. The battery has enough juice to almost complete the boot, but always dies just as the lock screen comes up.
I've been trying to search for possible solutions. Some posts seem to say that it is normal for the phone not to charge while off or booting (thought I thought mine did), but I definitely have this now. One suggested going to the coke bootloader screen to charge. this does not work for me. I tied flashing back to WinMo, but my PC can't see the phone through usb. I also tried a hard reset. One suggestion said to have a Verizon store charge the battery. So I guess I'll try that next and report back.
Any help or confirmation that my phone is bricked and I should just give up, is appreciated!

try going into boot loader, you know power+camera+rest button, and let it charge in that for 5 min, then try and boot

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that and it didn't seem to be working (I didn't see a charge indication led come on). Maybe it is charging and it just does not indicate it? I'll give it a try again. I'm just worried that if I completely drain the battery then I'll have no chance to start it up and charge at all.

nope that killed it alright. guess it wasn't charging after all. Guess my only hope now if Verizon, or finding another working vogue to charge it.
And it still makes me wonder if the not charging problem will remain. If I could only flash back to Winmo. Is there a way to do that without a usb link to the PC?

Flash back windows via sd
copy the nbh file of windows rom to the /sdcard
rename it to VOGUEIMG.nbh
press camera button
connect usb
4 color screen appears
release camera button
press power
restart
connect the phone to power source all the night
flash back android.

The charge light will not come on when in bootloader mode, but I assure you the phone will charge. I plugged it in and put it in bootloader mode for about 20 minutes, then was able to continue.
I had the EXACT same problem a few months ago.

In boot loader mode it doesn't charge, you need to flash windows and then reflash android.

Again, I've been through this myself. The light may not come on, but the battery DOES charge when in bootloader mode. Please do not misinform. The OP does not have to re-flash - and, in fact, it may be impossible to re-flash without a healthier charge to the battery.
NuAngel

Sure? I test it in polaris and in kaiser and it doesn't charge.
Probably vogue has a different power connection inside.
Good to know

i have done it too

In my case the phone was not charging in boot loader mode. I let it sit plugged in like that and it completely killed the factory battery as well as my extended one.
I went to Verizon but they said they didn't have a vogue phone anymore and so couldn't charge my battery.
I ordered one of these, but had to wait awhile to get it from Hong Kong. I just got it today and was able to charge my battery, but even after booting into android my phone will not charge the battery its self. I've tried with the AC cord, and usb which I know is a good cord. Maybe something in my phone got fried? I'll try going back to windows next.

My solution (which is using the same phone NuAngel more then likely had an issue with, since he gave it to me) was to go out and get a new battery charger. The chargers connector itself had become worn out. I was able to pickup a fantastic generic Touch/Touch Pro/Touch Pro2 charger at Walmart for $15 or so, Now the phone chargers fine (although it still touchy when flashing via USB).
In short, the USB port is really getting worn out on this thing, but I can still do data at times, even though its not getting a charge (via USB).. its odd at times.

So maybe that's my problem, the usb port has worn out. I can't seem to get a charge or data.
So now I'm having trouble flashing windows from the sd card. I tried to follow the above post:

and I found this in another post:

If you want to re-flash your nand back to wm, here is the instruction:
1. find your wm rom, it will be the RUU_Singed.nbh
2. copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to SD card as VOGUIMG.nbh, pull the battery, replace, press power and hold camera button and reset hole, this should start the flash process.
Note that the SD card must be formatted FAT32, or it will not be finding the VOGUIMG.nbh.
Even simpler:
- put the phone into boot loader mode (power + camera + reset pinhole, you should see the tricolor screen)
- plug into USB of computer
- Flash the windows mobile rom right from windows using whichever rom install file you want.

I downloaded NFSFAN's 6.5 in a rar file from here, opened it with 7zip, copied RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the sd card (FAT32), changed the name to VOGUEIMG.nbh .
I assume I can't use any of the instructions that involve the usb port, and I can't figure out if I am supposed to be doing something different with the button holds. I'm just holding power, reset, and camera at boot up to get to the boot loader screen right? After that screen pops up I get a quick flash to a white screen that says something like "Loading... File not found!" then back to the 4 color screen that says Serial.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

The nbh should be renamed to "VOGUIMG.nbh" not "VOGUEIMG.nbh"
However, I am not sure if it will actually help fix your problem.

Thanks for that correction. I was using VOGUEIMG.nbh, but sadly changing it to VOGUIMG.nbh did not seem to fix anything.
Now I found this thread which says to flash from sdcard
egzthunder1 said:
Your SD card has to be:
*Formatted for FAT32
*Be 2GB or less
*Not be SDHC
Simply do what you are doing (rename file and drop in the root of the SD card, put the device in bootloader, and the device takes care of the rest.... it should work.
Good luck!

My card is 2 GB so I assume it is not SDHC. The HC stands for High Capacity right? (not Host Controller which shows up in the properties for the card in windows)

I would plug the phone into a wall charger if you are going to use the SD card method. I haven't tired this method, but I would assume it would work best when not plugged in at all, and the battery is +50% charged.
If the phone doesn't have a valid image installed, you should automatically get the three screen on first startup, so there shouldn't be a need to use the key combo. You should only have to pull the battery if you plan on leaving the phone off.

Just to clarify, using the wall charger does not charge my phone, but I did buy an external battery charger, so I can make sure it is above 50%. Also I do have android installed as NAND so the bootloader is not automatically loaded on start up. I have to use the key combo. I'm just trying to flash back to Windows to see if it fixes the usb/charging problem. I've tried a couple of nhb files now in case one was corrupted, but the bootloader still does not see the files as valid. I'm using CoKe 2.31. I'm not sure what else to try.

HD2 Help . Doesn't turn on

Hi,
So i Had this Htc HD2 . I got it as a gift from USA. I've used it like 2/3 month. I installed MIUI rom on this device. And then i hot another phone and didn't used that phone anymore. But today i found this phone and i tried to turn it on. Then I saw that the phone isnt turning on. It just stays black and just vibrates. I dont know what is wrong with this. I live in Bangladesh. We dont have any HTC customer service stores here. So i need help with this. If anyone can Help please let me know. and by the way its TMOUS HD2.

Check battery pins are contacting correctly.
Check battery voltage - lower than 3.2V try charging the battery externally & not in the HD2, if you do not have an external charger you can use a USB cable & cut mini/micro usb plug off then touch the red+ & black- wires to + - battery terminals for about 1 minute or bit longer if battery completely flat then put it back in HD2 & see if can boot.

Are you sure it's not just out of battery? If it had NAND Android installed on it via MAGLDR and you didn't bother turning it off then it could have just run out of charge. Since you can't charge the phone when it's off in MAGLDR, you'll have to cut open a USB cable which hopefully @samsamuel will come along and tell you about since I always forget what has to be connected where.
If you know it isn't the battery, then can you boot into the bootloader (hold vol down + power)? If you can get to that then you can try flashing a WinMo stock ROM to confirm it isn't some sort of hardware issue.

I wasnt sure if it was battery or not. And then i recharged the battery with a external charger and tried to turn it on. But no luck. it stays just the same. and i cant even get into boot loader (tri color screen). NO nothing. it just vibrates.

HARD BRICK... pls help me!

hi. well, i expected this and im doomed.... i had my phone in the fastboot mode and i tried everything i could. i tried the solution and now what happened is the phone is dead.
what happens now is well nothing. it does not power on, it does not go to download mode, it does not go to recovery, it does not even go to the fastboot mode.
when i connect to pc, via usb cable, only thing that comes on my pc is multiple like 10 new drives and it asks me to format them before use. the screen turns on but only show black color. it does not even show LG logo. only black color. when i remove usb and press and hold power button phone turns off. its not even charging.
can any one tell me any solution to this?

See in general there is a thread. If you see multiple partitions then its still fixable. See the thread from no download mode etc as title

Make sure the phone is turned off. I had the same issue. Press power button for 15 seconds or so. Then press volume up,then connect to pc/laptop. It will enter dl mode.

Agreed - I've also experienced this. The phone doesn't power down if you're still connected via USB, so make sure you've unplugged it, and then ensure that you're powered down by holding the power button for a while. Then, while holding down VolUp, connect the USB cable. You may need to try this a few times.

Axon 7 Bricked To Hell

Hello All,
Yesterday I dropped my phone and the power button got stuck. I opened the phone with my tools and was able to fix the button. I didn't power it off, I didn't think it was needed since the button itself has nothing to do with the electronics inside. While I was closing its back It suddenly turned off. I was very gentle, didn't do any fast or unsafe moves. Since then the phone shows no sign of life. I plugged the phone the my pc but there wasn't any sign of life either. The phone didn't show up on Device Manager or anywhere else. One time, I heard a connection sound but I am not even sure if it was because of the phone since the sound came like 5 minutes after I plugged in the phone.
I already tried pressing all 3 buttons for a long time but it didn't do anything.
So what do you think? What might have caused it? And can you help me?
Thanks

First thing i would do is tear down and disconect/conect the battery flat. After that, hold volume keys while conect to pc usb and see if you can get edl mode. Than flash all that has to be flashed with miflash and edltools.
