Did you have sufficient battery when you were updating (ie at least 50%)? What were you trying to update it to/from?
I suggest you use SEUS and flash the latest 2.3.4 ROM (4.0.2.A.0.42)

If it was ota and your bootloader is unlocked then see the unbrick thread.

Remove the battery, wait a few seconds, then put it back. Test if it starts.
Leave phone charging on PC for a while (30 mins), then try to start phone with connected USB.
If your phone start, but allways shows 0% on battery, then you have the infamous 0% battery issue.

Problem quickly solved using this post even with locked bootloader.

Bootloader mode:
1) Press the Light Button
2) Press the power button
(silver thing at the bottom)
3) Press something into the reset button and hold for 2-5 seconds
If this does not work READ the Wiki
Good luck,

Yes i am very sure, As i have previously installed many ROMS on it but this time its not even going into bootloader mode.
I doubt that the bootloader mode itself is currupted or something is there a way to install a fresh bootloader mode ?
Kindly help me out its been a month i havnt used my phone now.,using a Motorola W220 ,from jasjar to w220 is not a very good feeling guys. please sort my problem i dont have anyone to guide me here.
Funny thing is i found a HTC repair center and the guys over their said they only repair HTC products not Imate and imate service centre in whole aisa = 5 or 6 :| checked it on club imate site.

Thanks for your help. I've tried the remedies outlined in the PDF document, including flashing the memory via the SD card. This does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

Yes, that's the funny part; can enter bootloader mode. I've followed the instructions to burn a new ROM to the SD card. After I burn the new ROM to the SD card, I can then burn the new ROM, but as soon as I choose to hard reboot my device, I receive a message reading; CLEARING, then the display fades and nothing further happens.
I will post this answer in the other threads with this problem, but I installed Tomal's WM6.1 v8.2 and the phone worked fine afterward. I think the problem is that some phones don't accept all ROMS.
If only i could enter bootloader mode i would have tried whichever rom you would have suggested but my problem is different i cant even enter Bootloader mode.
And i think only a service center can help me nothing else.

Hello there...Welcome to the club bro...
Funny thing is i gave my phone to a Local service center and he was able to get it in Bootloader mode but couldnt install a proper ROM as he didnt had one...so i got my problem fixed and i sold my jasjar two days ago for 5000/- Indian Rupees...Thats around $105 .
I have promised myself that i will NEVER buy an Imate as they dont have proper service centers here in my place.I am planning to get Sony X1 now
My suggestion to you...get it repaired and sell it before it gets messed up again.,its a very delicate and very pain in the @$$ phone.Im so happy now ^.^
Mods :Can lock this thread now...i no longer own a jasjar.
How They Get in Bootloader?
Using JTAG ?
Or there is another trick ?
Because Normal combination of key don't work
...
Can you try to find out ?
Thanks

if you plug the charger in while the device is off, or power down while plugged in, it will auto go to recovery, its not a bug, its just the way it is
Ok, better that way, only the desire not hd not happened to me and I thought it was a bug ......
Thanks for the response and the availability ;-)

just imagine you nearly brick your DHD recovery is only a charger away also if you put your device in hibinate mode, you can charge it as normal, like its off
No no never brick, works a treat, it is huge, beautiful and hibernates and does not change anything, just did not understand, so does the desire and thought it was the same .....
I was afraid ..... but at most referred the RUU factory ....
Thanks again

[Q] Help ... ROM updated failed...noting is displaying

Hello All,
Today, I got t-mobile locked leo (UK). It was continuously stucking and restarting. I thought, I can upgrade it to fix any firmware problems. However, it got stuck at 10% twice and filed.
Now, nothing showing up except big vibration sound.
Can some one guide me to fix this problem....
Yes put the HD2 into bootloader and flash the ROM. To put it into bootloader hold the volume down button down while powering on the HD2. Then connect the USB cable to the HD2 and computer and wait until you see the Serial change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then run the RUU.
If you still can not get it to flash via USB then try flashing it via SD card.
Thank you for quick reply. However, even I am unable to go into bootloader.
As soon as I place battery, it just continesoly gives just vibration sound nothing happens. Even I tried Vol+up and vol + down and poweron, but doesn't help as nothing coming up on the screen.
I was updating official ROM : RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

Sorry if you can not get the HD2 to the bootloader then I hate to tell you but you have a bricked HD2. The only way to fix it is to use or get someone to use a JTAG and a RiffBox on your HD2 which requires the total removal of the main board from the HD2 and then putting it back in after you have fixed it using the JTAG and RiffBox.

Endless booting and no recovery access. I'm about to give up.

Help please. I'm basically in a boot loop with no recovery. Idk what I should do or if its possible to make a warranty claim.
Hey guys I'm in a boot loop of some kind. I'm not an advanced user of this stuff but idk what to do at this point. So this is the situation. I have a X10a from at&t and its rooted with busybox and freex10 recovery or whatever. I had a default 2.1 ROM and flashed the offline recharging thing. My phone seemed to work fine but then my battery died out. For a while I've had recharging problems with my phone either my cable is messed up or the usb port. So anyways after it died out I tried to recharge but I was in the 3x red flashing light problem and accidentally broke my charger cord, but continuing I borrowed my friends cord and still had problems so knowing my usb port is kinda broken i just left it there. After about 2 hours my phone majestically starts up lol. So I decided I wanted to put on xrecovery just incase and My computer wont read my phone. I try everything from takeing out my sd card to restarting my computer to reinstalling pc companion like 20 times. So I tried a factory reset through the phone settings and ended up where i currently am in a boot loop. It turns on and does the sony ericsson thing then does the boot animation then my phone vibrates and the screen darkens and my buttons are lit up. It has been like this for about 30 mins so far. I tried restarting my phone by taking out the battery and taking out the sd card/sim card.
Sorry for this being long but this is my situation. Could you please help me out? I Don't know if I can do a warranty claim or anything I'm desperate so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also if there is anymore information you need please just ask.
use flashtool and flash a rooted generic 2.1 rom
install xrecovery
restore a back up
My computer can't read my phone. How can I fix that? It can go into flash mode but nothing shows up not even in the /:c/ area
if your phone is in flash mode, it's fine. start flashtool, click "flash", select the rom you want to flash, put phone in flash mode (turn off, hold back button while plugging phone in, wait for green light), click ok, let it do it's thing.
Even when i go into flash mode it doesn't work. It goes in flash mode while it searches then after a while the x10 leaves flash mode. Tbh I think its my cable though. Any idea where to get an official one that will ship to hawaii?
You may be missing the drivers.
Install SEUS "Sony Erricson Update Service" from the sony erricson website.
And let it detect your phone at least once.
You can also use it to restore your phone.
Good luck.
I got all the drivers. I'm just gonna buy a Xperia Play and see if i can fix my x10 and sell it or somthing. But thanks for all the help guys
Go to flashtool, press on flash select firmware. Then after it asks put your x10 connected without your battery. Put your battery in and it should flash.

any mini usb cable should work. i use the cable from my bt device for my phone.
If the x10 goes out of flashmode, try to hold in the back button under the whole flashing progress.

Any electronics store has the cables ranging from $5-$30 depending on what your looking for in quality.

urgent help plzzz

hi all dear members, i would be grateful for some help...
I have an asus TF in which i installed revolver 3.5.2 version through nvflash about 2 months ago... and now for the last 3 days the device wont start...i tried to flash the image again but its not working..any ideas..?
What happens when you flash from recovery? Bootloop?
the device wont start at all...and cant log into recovery ...all it does is when i try to nvflash it , it shows nvlfash mode starts but the nvflash in the command prompt wont work as well as it stops..
possibly dead battery . Charger can stop without you being aware Make sure it is charged.
i tried everything... charged fully and still not turning on..read about the deep sleep issue and tried to press the power button multiple times but still no response..
but when i connect it to the computer there is a sound that a device has been connected but cant identify the hard drive

Good news?
If you have a dead SSD no one can tell if you had it rooted. It might be fixable with warranty service.
so anything to try before taking it to the shop..?
not really. if it wont boot or charge something is seriously wrong.
