After a fail upgrade my phone is dead.
I can turn it on, I tried all modes with no success.
If I remove the battery and reseat it and plug the phone into the power charger the charging light just came up as it is charging. If I try turn the device on in this way the light just goes down and it gives no response.
Does anyone have any tips to help me bring my device back?
Thanks.

Look up JTAG.
Well you could try pressing BACK+POWER --before-- you plug in the battery, then keep them pressed, then plug the battery... Good luck. I'm bricked and not even that works...

SITUATION
My Cingular 8500 does not power on. I have tried connecting it to wall charger as well as USB cable. The red or the orange light also does not come on. I tried all resets also but nothing worked.
BACKGROUND
a. My phone suddenly went off when I was opening the sliding keyboard. It had a decent (60%) charge at that time. After this it refuses to come on.
b. Only addition to the phone in the last 3 months has been a 2GB MicroSd Card. I inserted this card 4 days back and it was working fine.
c. The device is around 6 months old (but its unlocked, running WM6 and does not have any warranty)
d. I have been using the original wall charger to charge this phone regularly.
HELP REQUIRED
1. Is there a way to check if the problem is with the battery or with the phone? I do not have a spare battery.
2. Should any light come on if I connect the phone to charger without the battery inserted in it?
Thanks!
Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
i have the same situation going on ... except with mine the screen faded out...it came back on once...and faded out again and will not turn back on.. when i put it on the charger it was a red light.. and will not turn on or soft reset, or enter bootloader or hard reset. .. in addition i tried the method above and nothing has worked.... any other suggestions...my phone was working fine when this happened out of nowhere... i dont have insurance either i bought the phone from someone off of craigslist..help is greatly appreciated
I am having the exact same problem, I had about 30% charge, then it just shut off, and now will not come back on under its own power or via USB nor charger. I tried connecting the charger then inserting the battery, but I do not get any indicator lights at all.
I was running WM6, and the most recent thing installed was the pointUI home screen replacement app.
has anyone experienced this before?

It wont power on threw charger without a "good" battery plugged in.
Sounds like u might have a bad battery. Happend to a friend of mine "different phone" just go to a local Radioshack If they have your type of battery and have one in stock they will most likely let you try one on your phone. If not just go to ATT wireless store and see if they have one you can try and buy.

Dear demo23019, I am not sure if I understand the above correctly. Should the Power LED light up "red" when battery is not inserted?
Once I connect the phone to charger (wall or USB), without the battery inserted in it, no red light comes on.
Does this mean that there is some problem with the phone hardware?

Yea the power LED should light up red with out a battery plugged in. Check the usb plug on the bottom of your phone, make sure the middle piece inside is still there and didnt break off.

Oops. My phone's power LED does not light up when I connect it to the charger without the battery inserted in it.
I have checked the following :
a. usb plug is fine (I checked it by plugging it into the Y cable for the USB charger. The LED on the Y cable lights up when I connect the USB plug into it
b. The middle piece inside the socket at the bottom of the phone is still there and shows no signs of damage.
c. The wall charger is also working fine.
Does this conclude that the phone has a hardware fault and this is not linked to the battery being dead?
Similar Problems
I just had the same problem. I had it happen to my Att Tilt and then to my cingular 8525. You should check out this thread and maybe post your info there too, it would be nice to see everybody post in the same thread so we can figure out what's going on.

yh
yh i got the same problem, i touched the power button so it wld go into standby, and it then refused to turn back on, even when i soft resetted it. Plugged it into the wall charger without the battery and there is no red power light coming on.
I've got a MDA Vario II and though im gettin a replacement, it kinda sucks as it seems im gna lose all my data
can we try to determine in more detail what people installed before they experienced this?
I just pulled it apart, and cleaned the inside to no avail, nothing seems to be awry, atleast not to my untrained eye, however it did get me thinking.
I listen to music on my tytn all the time, and over time the usb connector has become quite loose, frequently losing connections over activesync and music comes and goes from both lef and right. if the USB connector is shot, then when I plug it in it won't register that there is power, nor will it have the power to light up the red light indicating there is no battery. also, if the usb link is shot, then the phone wasn't charging so my battery is likely dead.
now to test this out I need to have a verified 100% charged battery.
I currently have the same problem. It will not charge via wall/usb. It flashes red once and that's it. Without the battery and plugged in, I get a solid red light. I tried plugging it into the wall charger without a battery and then putting my battery back in. The red light just turns off. That's it. I can get an active sync connection with a dim white screen, but I do not have enough juice to try flashing a new rom. If anyone has issues like these, are you also able to get an activesync connection?
TIA
EDIT: Is it possible to bypass the low battery protection when flashing a rom? My battery is somewhere around 40% so it would be safe.
Update:
Okay, I purchased a new oem battery and a battery charging dock. This way I can charge the battery without the phone before I attempt to flash a new rom.
I still would appreciate it if anyone who has seen these symptoms (white screen BUT with lots of vibrating / no charging / no bootloader) could give me a few pointers. I've exhausted the Wiki and so far it seems my only option to save the phone is to flash a new rom. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give me some advice.
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..

Connected the u8800 to the pc overnight for charging, today the phone will not turn on.
Charging it just results in the red led flashing, tried removing the battery but that did not help.
Anyone else had this?

Sounds like broken battery... can you boot at pink screen? plug the phone to the PC without battery and try volume up + volume down + power.
ok, it starts without a battery.
Lucky for me i have 3 huawei 3g routers, two of them not even opened. They use the same battery as the phone, hb4f1.
The battery was completely dead, so going to ask for a new one.

Hello all,
My phone is not working and I am not sure why. Last night, I was at about 30% battery and I was charging via usb from my computer. It was working fine. I later plugged it into the wall charger for the night and powered it off. This morning, I tried turning it on and it didn't boot up. I tried plugging into different chargers to make sure it is not the battery, but the phone didn't show the battery status when plugged in. This makes me believe it is a broken USB port. I already called google and initiated an RMA.
Has anyone had a similar problem or know how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Did it show a red blinking led light when you plugged it in? Also did you try hard reboot(hold power for 10sec). Or try getting into bootloader(hold power + vol down)?

When I plugged it in after discovering it wasn't turning on, it did not show a red blinking light. I tried a hard reboot with no response. I just got into the bootloader (with the power and vol down) and it turned on. Thank you for the help.
Is there anything I can do to avoid having this problem? Also, what would cause the phone to not boot up?
Thanks.

Were you using a custom kernel with UV capabilities? If not than I'm not entirely sure why this would happen. Do you normally shut your phone off and plug it in overnight? Try airplane mode at night maybe. Possibly something glitched while the phone was off and plugged in.

Interesting. I was running completely stock (no root or unlocked bootloader or anything). It might just be a bug. I'll try out the airplane mode next time. Thanks for the help.
Hello everyone,
First of all my problem. My nexus 7 is dead . the battery got too low as the charger was busted and it switched off and now its not turning on. I got the OEM nexus USB cable, OEM charger and have followed almost all the troubleshooting tips on this forum and elsewhere.
Now I dont know if the problem lies in the charging point or the battery.
My question to anyone who has the idea is that, IF i charge the battery in another Nexus 7, or with an external charger, will it work?
I want to fix this( i am in Nepal) and there is no way I can get a warranty in this. So I am in DIY mode
If the battery is dead and I cant boot into the bootloader anymore, is the above idea a possibility?
Thank you

Does it do anything when you first plug it in to charge?
As in does it start to show the charging screen and power off immediately? Does it start to boot then turn off?
Was having an issue with my wife's n7 where she let it discharge all the way to dead and would not take a charge or turn back on.
There is a trick you may be able to save it without doing much at all.
Plug it in to a wall charger and immediately, or as quickly as you can, hold power and volume down to try and get into recovery mode or bootloader. Needs to be almost instant.
If you can get into recovery or bootloader select power down (in bootloader use volume keys to navigate, power button to select).
Unplug the power cord and plug it right back in. You should hopefully see the charging battery screen.
Hope this helps.

I have already tried the above method. The good news is I went to a repair shop and asked them to charge the battery externally. My nexus did start. But it seems like I damaged the USB port somehow, so it is either a POGO pin charger or have to get the port frm smwhere..hmmm
