Ok, I have a T-Mobile Mytouch 3G (Magic) which was Rooted. I used FastBootCommander to flash one of the Gingerbread .zip files and it failed.
Now, I can't even boot the phone. If I remove the battery, then replace it and hook up my PC cable, the amber light comes on. If I then hit the power button, the amber light goes off and nothing else happens, and at that point I can only remove the battery again to get the amber light to come back.
If I hold the trackball and hit the power button I get the blue light, but I still
can't do anything from there.
Am I completely bricked? Any tricks I'm missing?
Hmm...
Remove battery and place it back after 5-10 seconds. It can help when phone is bootlooping.
Then press and hold Back + Power. Phone will start into fastboot-mode
Other combinations:
Home + Power (recovery)
VolumeDown + Power (hboot)
If any combination will success - hardware is working properly, but need ROM)
None of the combos are working except for Trackball + Power, and that only
gives me the blue light.
totally bricked i think
your case like mine before,if we plug charging and push power button, light goes off..
all you can do is JTAG i think..
Yeah. A brick.
McCordRM, what files did you flash? I will analyze them...
JTAG do
success with JTAG,
last chance to wake up from dead(Bricked)

can you get into recovery by holding the volume down button when the phone is off and then powering the phone up while still holding it down?
as long as it turns on and screen comes on, you are not bricked .. it's almost impossible to birck this phone ..
can't get into recovery at all, phone is not responding to anything just constantly stuck on initial white htc screen. have backup on sd though no way to get there through phone
how can pulling the battery not work? If there's no power to power up the screen it should die instantly
Try keeping it out for like 10 mins or more.
Then go to recovery and wipe/reinstall from backup.

And to get to recovery you have to start with the phone turned off (by pulling the battery). Then put in the battery and before you press the powerbutton, press and hold the vol- button down. When you're holding the vol- button, press powerbutton until the screen turns on, keep holding the vol button until you get into the bootloader just in case. From bootloader you can choose recovery with vol+ and vol-, powerbutton to select.
And as long as there's something happening on the screen (e.g. HTC logo) it's not bricked.
cheers Hawks556, all is good now
Hi,
I just got a used T-Mobile HD2. Tried to power it on by following methods, but none of them works:
1. Press "power" button; no reaction;
2. Press "vol up + vol dn" and "power" button, no reaction;
3. Reset using the yellow button underneath the battery and re-power, no reaction;
4. Charging it using wall charger, the phone start to vibrate periodically and the screen start to flash with "stick together" page, but the charging led light is still OFF.
Is this a hardware problem? Anything else I could try ? Thanks.
With the charger plugged in and on, try the vol up and down together and press both and power button, hold down till the 4 colour screen comes on then flash a new raido and then a new rom, use a 50 radio
It could be hardware only time will tell
Hello all,
My mother got an a500 about seven months ago and the other day she put it to charge and the next day it wouldn't turn on at all, just a black screen. When the charger is plugged in, the power button glows white. Take it off charge and the light goes out and that's all it will do.
I have tried searching through multiple forums and I have tried all the solutions I have found. I tried pressing the reset button near the usb plug, I tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume + buttons multiple ways, i.e. I held them both for thirty seconds, held the vol button and pressed power for three seconds and about every other iteration I could find. Nothing happened not even a vibration like from what I've read it is supposed to do. I downloaded the update.acer.zip file and put it on an sd card and tried flashing it by holding the power and vol - buttons, still nothing.
The tab has not been moded in any way, however, God only knows what apps my mother way have downloaded to it...
I am at my wits end and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so it wouldn't surprise me if I am not doing the flashing right or if I have the wrong files, all the links I found on the forums were non functional and I had to download it from filecorp.com.
Thanks in advance!

The white light when plugged to the charger just indicates it's fully charged.
Test 1. Press and hold the PWR button for 7 seconds, release, wait a couple seconds to see if it responds, then press and hold for another 7 seconds. See if it responds.This is to check if the tab is in Sleep of Death (SOD)
Test 2. Using a paper clip, press and hold the pinhole reset (near USB) and then press and hold PWR. After 4 seconds release PWR, 1 second later release pinhole. See if is vibrates and goes into APX mode, (tab should vibrate once with a black screen and white PWR button) if it does, press and hold PWR only for a few seconds. Wait a couple seconds, then PWR on tab by holding PWR about 6 or 7 seconds.
Test 2 is just to see if the tab responds to anything,
If you can't get any response from the above, then it's best to turn it in for repair.

@Moscow Desire: he pressed the reset button already so it is probably not SoD. Unless SoD makes reset button unresponsive too.
My tab does not vibrate when entering APX mode at all. Only the white power button LED turns on and the screen stays off.
@Core645: try this at first
- disconnect charger so the LED turns off
- hold power button for about 5 seconds
If the power button LED turns white and nothing else is happening then your tab is stuck in APX mode. You can confirm this by connecting micro USB cable from your PC. If you have windows it'll ask for drivers for Nvidia Download Mode or something like that.
Then check what Moscow Desire suggests with the reset button. I only ask you do my check at first because by holding reset you would achieve the same result and you wouldn't know if it is stuck in APX or you just forced it to APX by holding reset button.
Hey, my Nexus 4 died a month ago. i have tried many things from the internet, and none of them worked.
When i'm holding the volume down + power button, and inserting the USB cable, the red light is coming up, and it's Solid Red Light, and after about 10-15 second, it disappear. i sent it to one private lab, and they didn't succeed to fix it.
what can i do??
*Note: i'm going to give the device to another Lab - but i still want to hear you people
Simulate a battery pull by holding volume UP and power button simultaneously for one minute, see if that helps get you back running to the point you can at least charge it up and factory reset.
I've had the Red light of dead yesterday because i had critical battery level and didnt charge
I responsed immediately and pressed volume down + power and it entered

And then connected the charger and pressed power button again to select START
It booted and started charging

I know this proccess, but it's not working for me!
I don't know any other fixes. New battery? :/
My N4 won't power on, at all. I've tried doing the fix where you hold power and volume down and plug it in, and it'll go to recovery, the Google sign, then it'll power off and flash a single red light before going dead again. When I plug it in, without touching any buttons, one red light flashes then nothing else happens. Oh, and I've kept it charging for 2 hours and nothing different has happened. What's up with it? Did I brick my advice?
