Wing needs resuscitation

My wing died on me big time while flashing a WM6.5 ROM.
Wont turn on, wont light up at all when plugged in, wont be noticed by computer when USB'd .
I tried multiple reset tactics, but nothing gets the phone to show any signs of life.
Any help?
I figure I cant use a gold card or do anything at all if the unit wont even turn on in the slightest. I have tried a charged battery from another wing as well.... nothing.

Can you get it too boot up in bootloader mode? Press the power button while holding down the camera key until you see a 3 color bootloader screen.
Also, was your Wing HardSPL'd before you tried to flash this ROM? Which ROM was it? Did you use flash center or an RUU? More information is needed if possible.

I cannot get to the bootloader screen.
I did not have hard SPL before trying to flash.
The ROM I used was choi3es WM6.5 at the link below
http://thewingster.com/wm65.aspx
I used flash center.

Oh dang, here I was thinking you where some kind of n00b. My apoligies...well yes, it seems that you may have just had a bad flash, try hitting up the Wiki for the instructions on making a gold card...that may be the only way to fix the old girl.

Same with me. No sign of life in my Herald.
No lights even when you connected to charge (wall charger or PC), no bootloader,
Do we have any luck of recovering.
Is there any JTAG solution for Herald.

[Q] Can't soft reset

Please forgive me if this has been posted. I searched but could not find or I am using the wrong things to search by.
When ever I perform a soft reset the phone vibrates 6 times and then does nothing. The LED light is a solid green, but the phone does not power back on. I have to pull the battery to get it to work. However, I can power off the phone and power back on with no problems. Any ideas what is going on?

I know you probably do not want to hear this but sounds like you might need to do a Hard Reset.

Tried that and it did not work. I actually came across this problem while trying to HSPL my phone. When I ran HSPL3 and the phone attempted to boot into bootloader it would shut off and when it turned back on I got the 6 vibrations and the solid green light and no tri color screen.
So I loaded bootloader on my own, flashed HSPL3 and then flashed custom ROM. All was working fine until I had to softrest due to an app instal. When the phone reset it did it again with the vibrations and green light. I had to pull battery and then power on.
Thought maybe a bad flash or bad HSPL, so reverted back to stock via SD card and on stock ROM I took back cover off and reset via the yellow button and same thing.
The weird thing is that in boot loader mode at the top of the screen in capital letters it says "SECURITY UNLOCKED". Saw this before I tried HSPL. This is a warrenty replacement phone and my original did not say that.
I can power off and power back on with no problems and that is what I will do, but it bothers me that soemthing else may be wrong with thsi replacement phone that I don't know of.

[Q] hd2 died?

i was charged my hd2 and it never waked up.only a black screen.anyone can help me?

Wrong section. please move this thread to the Q&A section.

Have you tried removing battery?

When this thread is moved (and it surely will be moved) the people that will try to help you will need more information than "i was charged my hd2 and it never waked up."
What happened?
What were you doing at the time? Did you try to put a new rom on it?
What did you do to try and 'fix' it?

yes but nothing.i wasnt do anything.i just put my phone for charge.when i tried to open it it didnt worked.just a black screen.i tried the red button the up volume way but nothing.

Hi,
Take the battery out,then put it back in,switch on,and hold the down volume button.
Does it boot into bootloader(tri-color screen)?

You have to hold the volume down button AND the power button at the same time in order to get to the screen with the three colours (bootloader screen)

nothing.it seems like the buttery to be dead.maybe is butterys problem?or there is a chance the screen to be burned?

If you can get into bootloader then all is not lost - get out of there and direct your browser to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
Read carefully before continuing. I suggest you start with a wipe (task29) then install MAGLDR - BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAYED AROUND WITH NAND ROMS. If your phone is still a Windows Mobile device rather study this section before you do ANYTHING!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905841
And one final word of warning - if you still have your phone under warranty (or it is insured), take it back to the shop to have it fixed before you do anything that could void this.

...and maybe it is as simple as the battery just died?

i cant get into bootloader.the phone is dead.i have to try a new buttery and we'll see.thanks anyway

Funny,
mine goes to bootloader without having to hold the power button down.
@[OP]
Did you manage to charge the phone at all?
Do you have a spare battery or battery charger?
Are your pins bent?
If your battery is dead and you cannot charge it,try this:

Pressing hardware key - Is my phone defective

Hi,when I press the center hardware key,I get this screen:
For example if I'm in a middle of a game and I want to go back to my home screen and I press the hardware key so I get to this application,this is the screen that pops out when the phone is docked...
How do I solve this?
Thanks.

Huh? lol
Made me laugh!

lol, that would be the desk clock screen, when your connected to the emmm you know dock, try pressing the home when not connected to it for the desired effect.
why would you be playing a game whilst connected to the dock. Bit awkward isn't it really.. ....

I'll explain again,my phone isn't docked.I never connected him to dock station.
But still I get this screen when I press the hardware key.
I must to restart my phone to get rid of that annoying issuse.
But suddenly (sometimes minutes later and sometimes hours later)it pops out again...
How do I solve this issuse?
Thanks.

Why waste time? Just backup and reflash your rom... Problem probably solved...

I have another major issue that annoys me from the beginning - once in a while(every few hours) my phone don't output sound and if I try to lock my phone by pressing the power button,my phone got stuck.
I must to restart him.
About the sound:When my phone don't output sound.I enter to Volume properties
and the Incoming call+Notification sounds are working but Media+System don't.
If I try to lock my phone sometimes it stuck.
I kinda play with the power button,I press him sometimes in a row because I know that my phone will stuck.
It can be stuck from the first press,second press,third press.
I mean it's random.
But it got stuck only when I have the sound issuse.
This problem so annoy me,I try several roms and no help.
I give up when I my phone don't recharge and give my phone the store that I bought from.
They factory reset my phone.
This reset help me for a while with sound issuse and solve my charging issuse.
Now I have these issuses:sound+stuck phone,harware key issuse,suddenley my phone activate car mode.
The two last issuses start after the facory reset.
Note:after the factory reset,I have used my phone days without encounter any of the issuses that I mentioned.
My question:Is my phone defective?
Thanks for your help.

Do a system wipe, restart with default settings. Before you reinstall any applications, test everything. If it works, it isn't any hardware fault.

Where do I find this system wipe?
Thanks.

[Black Screen] S3 neo, READ and suggestions are welcome.

Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!

Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks

Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.

@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times

They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?

try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.

My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....

try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist

How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox

Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:

Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.

Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...
