Let me give you the run down. I recently bricked my phone trying a 2.3.320 SBF update which got stuck on the M logo. I followed steps as on rootzwiki and got my phone working again, with the new 2.3.320 update. I backed up my cricket APN so the reflash wasn't to bad. I use Droid Overclock at low volts running 1.2Ghz. I have done so for months...never had an issue....ran smooth and fast.
After the new SBF update and re-rooting and running my usual overclock settings, my phone got a lil warmer then usual. I was removing bloat at this point, nothing else. I could not get it to boot into the homescreen...I thought this was unusual as I did not delete any important files ( just bloat ). So, I restarted it, so I thought.
I can not even get it to turn on and after several hours on the charger, It will not turn on! I can get into bootloader but all it states is
Batter Low
Cannot Program
When it's plugged into the USB on my computer, the LED light turns solid green and stays green unless I unplug it. I can not turn it on nor boot into recovery. Only thing I can do is load bootloader and get that exact same message everytime.
My phone is in mint condition. Nothing less then perfect....until today, until I loaded the new 2.3.320 using RSD Lite. Whats going on with my phone? Is it a goner? I will be heading to the VZW store for a brand new battery but I don't think it is the case.
Ideas? Anyone? Sad, sad day for my X...
I think the problem may be that you accidently removed the files necessary for it to charge. If you knew someone else that had the same phone, you could try charging your battery in his phone. That could possibly work.
It had 70% charge when I turned it off to reboot it the first time.
Wierdest thing, as I was reading your post...CWM just started up out of no where and out of excitment, I grabbed my phone and hit the camera button on accident and it rebooted, past the M logo but got stuck on the Droid animation! I had my chance to flash it back to a working nandroid and missed it.
Something wierd is going on here...
If you pull the battery, put it in, then plug it in you should go right to CWM. Keep playing with it until you make it in. I know my phone won't boot up (dead battery), but still gets to CWM.
Might have to jump start it
If the battery is too dead you'll either have to borrow a battery or cut a USB cable to 'jump start' it. I found a post with pictures on how to do it for mine, or look for one of my old posts where I describe it a little.
Use the wall charger. I have the same problem except when my phones dead it wont charge over a computer USB cause its not getting the correct voltage for it to charge. Try that if that's not the case then use another battery and sbf.

So my phone died earlier today and I left my charger in my friend's car. When I got it back, I tried to plug it in and turn it on, but nothing happened. I know sometimes you have to wait until it has a certain % charge before you can turn it on. I made and hour trip back home and when I got back I still couldn't get my phone to turn on.
When it's not plugged in nothing happens at all. When it is plugged it it repeats the boot logo thing over and over and over and eventually goes black. I can't get to any kind of menu. I've tried the X+Power option. Nothing.
Any help?

You might try and swap batteries with someone with a D2 or D1 to see if your battery is messed up other than that I'm not sure what to do because it sounds like you don't have enough power but if it's not charging you could have a software issue, because the D2 won't charge without software.
Does your white charging light on the side turn on when it's plugged in?
Are you running a Custom ROM?
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

Hi, im new here and im not sure if this is the right place to put this. Im having issues with the HTC vogue on verizon. This phone is from many years ago and i found it laying around in my house. The problem is that when the phone completely dies, it is a challenge to get it on and stay on. So I plug it in to charge and then i turn it on and it will randomly shut off, sometimes before i type my code and if im lucky i go to the battery menu quickly and leave it there and it will charge till the light turns green.
HERES THE BIG PROBLEM I recently put myn's warm donut android on my micro sd card and i got it all working but i drained my battery using it and i kept restarting my phone cause it got a bit slow, and then i shut it down (ive restarted android a few times already) to boot windows mobile and my phone wouldnt turn on. So i plug it into my outlet and i get a solid red light for a minute, then it changes to a flashing orange/amber. If i turn it on it will boot up and ask for my code and as im typing it it shuts off. Afterwards the orange/amber light comes back. I tried hard resetting it and soft and nothing works. Please help me ( its my only phone i have. Could it be the battery also? The battery will spin a little bit if i try to, so it seems that the battery is not so good. The battery water damage sticker is all solid red. Im thinking of ordering a new battery, do you think it will work? Thanks in advance everyone!
EDIT: It stopped charging and im still with the same problem :/ I BEG OF YOU, PLEASEE HELP ME!
So near the end of the day yesterday I realized my phone was dead / had **** down.
Every time I turned it on, it would auto shut off. I tried to charge it for a while and it would not turn on. It would not even turn on plugged in.
So I read on this forum to go into recovery, I tried that. It would say No Command and then turn off after a while. Then i tried to let the battery die. It did.
I would try to charge, it would show the charging animation, I would take it off the charger it would still continue to show the charging animation.
So I took it off the charger for a few hours. Tried it again nothing. This morning I have it on the charger, there is a red blinking light. No charging animation, it won't turn on. Nothing...
I read stuff and most people who have had similar issues either got the phone to turn on by flashing a new rom, or letting battery drain. But I can't do anything to phone.
On charge I try to power it on and go into boot loader nothing happens.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Edit: Called Google Support after posting this. They want to replace phone.
What rom / kernel did you use?

If you can access the bootloader you phone is fine there is another thread here in Q&A about fixing red LED phones. Just be careful as I had the same thing and no my phone is completely unresponsive.
Hold the volume down button and the try plugging the phone into a PC/power outlet this should put you in fastboot mode from there try to flash the google stock images.
I just ordered the replacement phone.
I did not use any ROM or Kernel. I just used the phone as is. For recovery. I just chose recovery hoping it would have something come with stock.
I opened this phone on Monday.
Also yes. I tried the bootloader thing at first / last night. But slowly it lost all charger now it won't charge or respond. It just has a flashing red light.
Hopefully Google doesn't take 5-6 weeks with replacement phone. It took 6 weeks to get this one.
