RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_2_Ship

try reflash it again. if you can't boot it on, hold vol down + power.

i can not flash it caz it does not reconize the USB connection. when i plug the usb cable to computer, it does not show any link light.

did you try to plug the usb while on the boot screen? if not, turn it off, then hold vol down button + power buttons

reinstall stock rom with SD card.

so? did it work?

could be bent battery pin or discharged battery.
check pins, and if not that, leave battery out for half hour, then put on charge with wall charger. leave it alone to charge, don't be trying it "just to see" after 5 mins.

my phone is not reconizing USB.
i taken out the battery several time but it now seeing anything. . on the phone side, it does not show it is charning etc.
when i press "volume down + power ", nothing happens..
only thing happens when i connect USB, my PC is searching for the drivers
QUALCOMM MSN driver & i do hear the usb plug sound from my pc. when i run microsoft syn, it not seeing my phone.
any idea?
thanks

Off topic but i'm so used to video game forums that I thought it said you needed help boosting

..and the screen stays black, right?
Are you sure you flashed that rom in your OP? cos that behavour sounds more like a non tmous radio, which bricks tmous phones.
Were you careful when flashing? if there are more than one nbh file in the folder when you run teh flash, it will flash the first one alphabetically.

yes, that is correct. it flashed it non tmobile ROM.
is there a way to roll back previous version ? or do anything to make my phone work again ?

no, radios with ..51.. in the version number kill tmous, No one has even managed to start the phone again, let alone fix it.

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] bricked? won't boot

Was messing around trying to restore the phone back to stock using: [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)
Odin never got passed file analysis.
Phone showed yellow digger but not progress bar.
I gave up and ended up popping the battery out of the phone. Apparently that is a bad idea.
Now, when I try to power up or even plug in the usb cable, it is displaying a phone on the left, a pc on the right with a caution sign with "!" in between the two.
Any hope for me?
-Greg

Same thing happened to me....."twice" I'm a little more hard headed than most. Anyways, I went back to t-mobile and they exchanged both times - so maybe check that out. I haven't seen anyway yet to get past that "phone > pc" screen.
-Good luck

Wonderful... I got the phone used.

Been playing with it for a while. Trip to the T-mobile store... call to Samsung tech... was looking pretty bleak.
With the screen displaying the phone....pc, it wouldn't do a thing. Plugging in the USB, nothing (no beep beep notification from PC either). This told me for whatever reason, the USB boot loader was failing.
I tried a different approach. Rather than hold vol up and down then power, then connect USB (or USB before the sequence)... I decided to see if plugging in the USB as the power trigger would work. IT DID!!
So, to spell it out. Pull battery to get phone turned off. Put batter back in. No SIM, no SD. Hold vol up and down then plug in USB cable attached to PC. Voiala - Little digging guy ready to flash.
Flashed it with the stock ROM and am golden again.
-Greg

Greg you are a life saver. Thanks! Worked for me!

If it will do anything you can bring it back to life... a true brick wont do anything... wont even show the battery status when plugged in...

[Q] mt4g flashing LED no vibrate no screen

Hey guys, Im trying to fix this mt4g for a friend.. It wont boot, I cant get into hboot or recovery, all it does is flash the LED. I have read post saying its because I was unsuccessful at loading bootloader, however it doesn't vibrate like the others are saying. I left the battery out for a couple hours along with sd and sim, also tried charging through the night... I cannot figure this one out, also, the computer will not recognize any new hardware or drivers. Is this phone bricked beyond repair?

I put the battery on my battery charger and let the battery charge outside of the phone now when I put the battery in the phone and plug it in to the computer, the red LED comes on and stays on, along with a red glow on the trackpad... Anyone know what to do?

Blinking LED is either the battery is charging to at least one percent, or you didn't press the right button combo to boot into bootloader. Power + Volume Down is bootloader, Volume up will give you three vibrates and a flashing LED, where you will have to pull your battery.

Thanks, I cant get the phone to do anything... I plug it in with the battery in, without pushing any buttons and the LED comes on and the IR trackpad light comes on... It wont respond to anything, no drivers popup.. Is there anyway to recover a bricked mt4g? Im new to it, as I have an Evo and have never had anything like this occur with all the evos i've flashed and rooted... If someone knows anyway to fix this feel free to give input..
Thanks everyone!

ya .. mine is doing the samething.
I just try to turn it on and I get one vibrate ... nothing else
I hit down and power and I get one vibrate .. nothing else
I hit up and power I get 3 fast vibrates and a flashing orange led ... I try to plug the USB here and I get 3 fast beeps on the comp
I hit up and down vol and power I get 5 fast vibrates with a solid green led and noting else... usb again beeps 3 times on the comp
neither will recognize the usb and I have reinstalled the drivers .. and of course none will work with adb either.
I think we are screwed really ... but maybe someone knows something i dont on this here. Thanks for any help.

if you fix your phone. let me know

ya .. no luck so far ..I have tried a lot .. different drivers .. HTC sync .. etc.
I have tried different button pushes .. usb ports .. wont work in adb .. nothing is doing anything.
all I hear thru my speakers when I plug it in is that damn the fast 3 beeps .. ike a "hell no go F yourself you arent connecting it"
and there isnt a lot of info online bout this .. other than some others have the same LED blinking and stuff .. I still dont know what the different LED modes mean.
so IM screwed .. BUT I am getting an LG G2X as an alternate exchange thru T-Mobile warranty though. goodbye mytouch 4G Hello to G2X AND Galaxy S II(bought) .. fun times!

I found a thread somewhere, not sure where but it said that if you cant get anything and the infra-red on the touch sensor is lit the phone is completely bricked!

Its not bricked. Somethign is wacky with the phone, mine has done it and thats why im trying to find out what the hell is going on. My phone acts like its completely dead. This post migt end up being really long.
Ok, i notices this, i used my phone as a wifi hot spot. Turned it off. Left my phone alone, i then put it on charge and went to sleep. Woke up looked at the battery, no color other than the lighting bolt. Unplugged it then went off. Pluged charger back in and orange led flashes. Tried to get into recovery nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, tried the volume down and power, three vibrations. Ok then i decided to take out the battery in and out, didnt work, tried leaving the battery out for a few minutes, then put it back in, same. Took out memory card, sim card. Then plugged in the charger. Let it sit for awhile then it works. I notice if you dont use the orginal charger that may also be the problem. I dont have my orginal but i used a walmart charger and seems like a super charger and some how charged my battery enough to be booted up, i daily use a charger that i found with the same connection x-( , that could be the problem. I dunno what makes this happen but it happened to me at least three times. I kinda figure the battery or the emmc chip is involved, could be the hotspot, could be anything, but we dont have enough evidence to figure it out, ill try to post what my battery usage on here. I use cm7 and it only happens when i use it. I tried all other roms but no repeats. That was my story.

I have done all these as well, and still unable to get past the black screen, or acheive bootloader as well. I have even left the battery out for a couple of hours, and still no different. Going to try recharging the battery once more, and some other things.
As for adb it is of no help as of now. I keep getting an error saying no device found. Has anyone found a way past this yet, to try rebooting through adb?
*Edit*
After trying to replace files on the sdcard I was not able to get past this issue. Also spoke with tech support, and was not able to get anywhere with their help. After speaking with them, I have come to conclusion the is bricked. I still cannot figure out what caused the phone to do this I broke down and sending it out to be replaced. Thankfully I have the insurance so I don't have to pay anything for the replacement.

Apparently its not bricked cause I'm still using mine. Try a different charger probly a stronger one like walmarts. I think the battery has a fart and is messed up for a little when it doesn't have a good charge

I have done this, fully charged it twice, and no change for me. I am glad it worked out for you.

Its not bricked.
Download the stock rom, and put that .zip in the root of your SD card. Put it in, press Power + Volume DOWN and wait for the bootloader. Once it boots, it should recognize the .zip and ask if you want to update it, run the update and your phone will be at stock again. Then root again, install Clockwork, and hopefully you backed up your ROM. This won't effect S-OFF, but you will have to run VisionARY again to get root permissions to run clockwork.
Hope this Helps.

one more
I am too having this problem
just blink orange
can't access bootloader or any else....

I too had this problem not too long ago. My power button wouldn't work though... I just connected via USB to my computer with the battery out, put it back in while connected and it turned on. Maybe I'm just lucky but give it a try

While phone is off do the following:
1. Press volume down button and power off button both together till you see Android Robot with (!) Exclamation mark;
2. Now release both keys and press volume keys (both up and down volume keys together);
3. This will show you Stock Recovery;
4. Now from volume down key select "wipe Data" and execute it with power key;
5. Now select Reboot.
This will probably resolve the issue. However, if the issue still persists then you need to use RSD lite to flash your phone with the some Froyo SBF.
For more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: To enter bootloader menu so that RSD lite recognize your phone you need to have its USB drivers installed on your system and while booting you need to press Volume Up key and Power key together while phone is off to enter Bootloader menu to flash with SBF.]
Hope this helps!!
ATB!!

Why?
Cause a damaged OS, cannot charge your battery. you must pull your battery out of defy and charge the battery externally.
Or you buy a new battery, or let charge your old battery by a cellphone-seller, or asks a friend of yours with a defy to charge your battery for you etc.
Have u checked the voltage of your battery, it must be 4,1 V if the battery is fully charged.
I think esok44 is right your battery is empty, there is not enough power in it to start your defy.

i just tried the usb modification to connect it to the battery directly,,done all the steps as told ... nothing!!!
i'm really getting frustrated cuz its been like this for the past one week,,i've tried everything
don't have any friends with defy phone...
can't think of anything else to do but to brake the phone

well if everything fails, give it to motorola...
if it really is broken and everything fails, then try it.
would be the last option for me, but at least it is one...
But as is said, had the same problem and in may case it worked...
i've read on xda about an usb-manipulation to flash sbf when battery is empty, maybe you could try this...
I'll add a link to it
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489289

i have encountered this problem previously and the solution was replacing the battery, as RATTAR said the battery is not charged. try to charge your battery or try another charger, once it's charged rsd will recognize it. don't panic or despair.
