I tried to put a sappimg on my phone and half the updates failed. Then I tried to boot into Recovery but this phone isn't turning on at all. No charger led, nothing. Can't start up by pushing ANY buttons. Took battery out for 30 sec..nothing. I was thinking of telling T-mo(my carrier) that I had lost my phone in order to get a new one. But before I do does anyone know what this could be?
Im new to this and i might be 100% wrong but i think you might have followed the instrutions for the old mytouch.
Did you make a gold card?
Yes, I made a gold card. And I did follow the old instructions. I couldn't find anywhere else to unroot. But now, all I get is a flashing red light when holding the power button, and an orange led light when charging and a blue led light when holding the trackball and and power but nothing turns on.

I believe I bricked my G1. When I try turning on the phone the screen stays black and doesn't respond at all except for the red light that turns on. And I can't access any of the "setup screens" (I don't know what they're called).
I was trying to downgrade to RC29 by putting DREAIMG.nbh into my sd card and then pressing the camera button + end button. I got to the setup screen but nothing happened, it just hanged there so I pulled out the battery. Then I went online to find another method and found the home button + end button method. But when I tried it I needed update.zip which I didn't have on my sd card at the time so I tried the first method again. The same thing happened, it just hanged on the setup screen. So I pulled out the battery again and now I can't get it to turn back on.
Is the battery charged?
You haven't bricked anything because you haven't actually done anything yet.. It doesn't sound like you have much idea what you're doing or why. I'd suggest some more reading first.
does the red LED blink? If so, charge your battery and you'll be ok...
sappimg failed, to update. i powered off the phone thinking ill just go into recovery mode, put a new sappimg on my sd. the phone now wont power on.
none of the combinations of buttons do anything, ive tried taking out the battery n so on. no led light either.
does anyone have any ideas? why would it brick like this after the sappimg fail?
only thing I can think of is check the battery do you have any leds doing anything mine once flashed red leds found out later the battery was dead
aslo by fail do you mead in failed to start or failed to finish
like half of the updates failed. i had left t6he phone plugged in. after about 30 min of it being plugged in, ill get a led light, either the orange/red or green. if i hit the power button the light woudl turn off.
anyways, i picked up another mytouch off craigslist last night for 120.
Just got my hands on a htc hd 2, only problem is, it was rooted with nand android and magdlr but the sd card is missing, i booted it up once and it froze on the go go go ! screen and then died,charged and booted it up again the screen is blank and only illuminates now, any idea what to do? I have a blank sd card in it now.
What have you tried to do? Have you tried holding the power button while it's turning on to get in to MAGLDR? Hold it down until it shows all the available services.
You should also turn phone off and boot into thye bootloader screen and see if you have a HSPL or what..... You can turn phone on while holding volume down button.
I guess the screen is the problem because now its just blank, doesn't even bother to illuminate and i noticed the bottom part of it getting warm whenever i try to charge it. Any ideas on how much a repair would cost?
Ud probably be able to get one off of ebay or craigslist..dont really kno a price,someone could be hurtin for a few extra Bucks and would let one go for cheaper then others wouldwould

Ok, it might not be the screen, but here's the problem. I turn the phone on, black screen no illuminating either. I plug it in to charge, the orange led comes on, if i plug it out the orange led is still on (is that supposed to happen??). I plug it into my computer it doesn't read it but the phone can still charge. Any ideas on what this problem could be, i don't wanna go changing the screen if that's not the problem at all.
This is a link to something similar when i turn on the phone

This must be a case of eMMC failures.
Just follow this procedure.
1. Download the stock 2.3.4 Rom here.
2. Place it on the root of your sd card (don't put it in a folder).
3. Remove the battery, insert the battery, press Power & Volume Down Button simultaneously.
4. The bootloader menu will update your phone (answer "YES" when asked).
If the update is successful - you'll be back in the stock Rom.
If the update shows "Fail-PU" - send your phone for warranty repair, because it won't function anymore.
it wont boot the red light just cuts on even with a new battery still wont trun on

IF you cannot get into Hboot the device is considered bricked.
I went out for a while with my battery at 20%, when I came back it had drained out. I put it to charge, but when I tried to switch it back on, it refused to boot. On a normal power button press, it would vibrate 3 times and then the red notification light would start blinking. Same thing with power + volume_up. If I press power + volume_down, it would vibrate 5 times and the green notification light would stay lit. Nothing comes on the screen, whatsoever.
I was rooted with S=off, and was using the Operation Inferno ROM (which I have been using comfortably for the past month or so).
I did try some stuff with ADB, such as using it to reboot into bootloader and recovery (same 3 vibrate + red notification light), pushed the Operation Inferno ROM again to the sdcard and tried to restore the ROM from that location (for which I got adb: unable to open file /sdcard/backup.zip).
I haven't yet gotten around to downloading and installing the factory image some have suggested for the eMMC issue (PD15IMG.ZIP) but I wanted additional opinions considering most people with an eMMC issue have been able to open HBOOT at least.
When the phone doesn't power on, neither ADB nor fastboot will help you. There is no device on the other side, so all your attempts went to the drain, and it was expected. Nothing to do with eMMC issue or anything else. Your phone just doesn't power on.
Put your phone to charge, if the light turns orange - just leave it to charge until it's green, then disconnect and try to power on.
If the light doesn't turn orange, or it doesn't power on even after charging - remove the battery for 10 min, press Power button for 1/2 min, release the button, reinsert the battery, put to charge. And again, let it charge before you try to turn it on.
I did charge it earlier (for about half an hour or so) and the orange light does come, but it didn't boot after that either.
I'll just give it a try by charging it through the night and see.
I think a key thing is to take out your battery for 10 min, as Jack_R1 suggested. Then proceed with the charging.

Still doesn't work. I dissembled it and kept it like that for quite some time, then put everything back and charged it for hours. Still the same issue happening during boot.
Connect the phone to USB, powered off, see if the PC recognizes "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. Try to power it on, see if it happens.
If it happens - it means your primary bootloader is screwed, in another words - no repair (actually, repair is theoretically possible, but no guide, no information and no sources exist for MT4G).

When its plugged in, its recognised by the ADB (even when powered off), and I can do some basic commands (mentioned in the first post). When I power it on the same thing happens as when it wasn't plugged into USB (ie, the vibration and the blinking LED).
I'm also worried about water damage, since a very tiny amount did come on it as I was sweating profusely. Although the indicators in the battery tray and on the battery itself don't signal damage (they're completely white) I've just decided to try and keep it opened up in a bowl of rice, just in case, until someone is able to come out with some idea.
As I'm in India, taking it to T-Mobile is not an option. If nothing works out, I might take it to HTC and see if they can help out.
