I got my TyTN a week ago (actually it is a Softbank X01HT)
The device just died today. I cannot turn it on (battery was fully charged), no lights are on, I tried removing the battery, SIM card, soft/hard reset nothing helps, it seems like it is dead and nothing is turning on even when connected to the power.
Can anyone please advise? is there anything I can do to revive it??
thanks
Does it show a constant RED LED light when you plug in the charger?
Mike
Can you describe the incident that lead to the "bricking" of your tytn?
The more we know the better we can make suggestion/give help.

No light is on when connected, it is just all blank. I didn't do anything actually. Finished a phone call, put the device back in my pocket when I took it out again it was dead and coldn't do anything. No ROM change or software installation or anything. I was wondering if there is any way to "revive" it.
Thank you for the help in advance !

Don't think I've heard of one being completely dead before. There are cases where the battery drains very rapidly to zero charge in a veryshort time and will then refuse to charge. BUT in those cases the device at least shows a RED no charge LED when you plug in the charger.
I don't think I can suggest anything other than warranty / repair. I assume you can rule out that the charger is faulty. This could be shown by plugging into PC using USB lead and confirming that again no RED LED shows.
One final thought but I think it is a long shot and that is to leave the battery out for 10 minutes and then retry.
It may be possible that an internal connector has come adrift but unless you wish to open it up then again we're back to warranty / repair.

Bad news for me. I was afraid I will have to do that...
Thanks for the reply though.
If anyone else has ny suggestion I'll be happy to hear it
Hello i have a htc elf0100, and suddenly he doesn't charge anymore nore start. It's completely dead, i already tried a new battery and i even charged the battery with a battery charger. I have measured the contacts of the phone when is connected to a charger and i have 4,7V wich may indicate that the power of the phone is ok. But in fact it doesn't power on. Does anybody know what might be the problem
Mainboard
Is it possible to buy a mainboard for the htc elf0100, and if so where can i buy it and how much will it cost?
Have you had any further luck with this problem?
I have a bought a Touch which appears to be suffering the same problem.
same problem here...
are any of you guys repairing these phones? I would'nt mind having a crack at it.

I tried repairing mine but no luck. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong inside it. Actually I had just finished refurbishing mine and for 2 days I was admiring its brand new white covers... Then, all of a sudden, the mobile turned off and doesn't respond to on/off,resets,chargers ever since. I am also guessing that my CPU must have been destroyed... :-(
I solve this problem whit the rework station, you need to heat the board, like 2 minutes in 400 Celsius, tried to don`t burn the conectors and the stikers.
Yesterday, after 2 months, it accepted the chrarger (led on) for... 1 second and then it started booting (for 5 seconds) but died again...
Wow! It responded again! This time it turned on and stayed on in bootloader! So I flashed it, and it WORKS!
So my tip is: every time you try to turn it on, always try in bootloader mode. So if it turns on, at least you will be able to do something!
Hi papajohn
how did you get it to turn-on again?
mine's dead no power response at all, completely dead, no tricolor, no white screen, no response to hard reset, can't enter bootloader, no orange led indicator when plug into power supply.

When you click power button to try switching it on, nothing happens? No vibration, nothing on screen?
Do you have someone with HD2 to try second battery? Maybe it is not bricked but only battery died.
Well to be honest Icdo not think your HD2 is bricked, it sort of sounds like you may have a dead battery. With MAGLDR you can only charge your HD2 while you have the ROM you are using booted up and running. Also try this just in case your battery os not dead but your power button is malfunctioning. Take the back cover off and press the small reset button on the back, it will be red, yellow, or green. Also make sure to have your charger connected to your HD2 in case the battery is low, it will start charging about half way through the boot up process. I will check back in on thos thread later today.
follow T-Macgnolia advice, if you can find another battery just to try if phone does boot up... after making sure that its not a battery problem ( i hope it does ) than could be that your phone is bricked and for now only jtag method could fix it.
I've never, ever heard about a really bricked HD2 unless a faulty hardware... In you case it might be the battery or a hardware issue.
HD2 is almost impossible to brick.

Unless you flash the wrong radio, that's basically it.
OP, make sure none of your pins bent when you did your battery pull. Sometimes one of the pins gets bent and it won't turn on, you have to make sure all 3 pins are touching the battery.
I think the answer to his question is between the lines :

Since Android doesn't/never brick devices and he hasn't flashed anything and his battery was working fine, Simply it's a bent pin
orangekid is correct.
Thanks for yours answers friends.
Pins are Ok.
I try to hard reset but nothing.
So when baterry is empty i cant charge it with MAGLDR i didnt know that.
Maybe is only batery empty.
I dont know no one with HD2 .
Is the same batery with Desire HD ?
Can i mesure voltage on batery i have multimetar at home.
Im having wall charger for my bluetooth headset with LED when charging its light RED,so i put HD2 withaout batery its green(no charging) and put batery in HD2 its light RED(charging).
P.S: Sorry for all this questions but im use to conect to net over HD2,
now im on dialup and this is very slow way for surfing and googling around.
Ok, So the phone is turned off. When you plug it in, don't you see the orange light even for 1 second?
Also, was the phone really hot when it freezed?
No there is no orange led turn on,phone is cold,i even try to charge batery direcly,voltage on batery is 3.75V.

Head down to your nearest T-Mobile store, most likely they have a battery or two you can test it with. If that ends up being the case, theres also chargers you can get pretty cheap that charge batteries stand-alone, along with a spot for a usb cord to charge a battery and phone at once. Got mine off ebay for 4$
Yeah, I can't see how you can brick your device without actually flashing something.
I, on the other hand, flashed a bunch of things like an idiot and I think I really may have bricked my poor HD2. It gets no power, and I've tried a second battery and that doesn't work either although it does turn on with external power.
Here's a link to my thread if anyone has any insight for me.
I meant the moment it froze, was the phone hot?
Ye the phone was hot i played drag racing on line with wi fi conected when it froze.

If it was really hot, then it could be a hardware failure.
Mine also got hot while running gps and now appears to be dead, have tried another battery but get no lights when pluggin in, no bent pins, is it the motherboard are they cheap/easy to fix?
Thanks, i thought i briked my phone , i leaft it to charge this night and when i wake up it won't turn on, i was very scared until i read here that could be a battery pin problem so i saw that i had the middlle pin to high, just lowered i little the pin and the phone booted up, thanks a lot.
But now i'm worried because here i read that if the phone get's to hot has changes that it will brick, what would be the best solution to not brick the phone: downclock or just pray and don't use android at full capacity?
Sorry for my english but i'm better at reading then writing
Bricking caused by HD2 beeing too hot ??? I doubt it...
Nevertheless it is not adviced to always overclock at full speed...
Bricking from an overheat is quite common, I've seen a good number come through my store with that issue.
For some reason alot people think the dashboard is a great place for their phone while driving around Phoenix o.0

I'll throw this suggestion out there. Most likely it's not the problem, but maybe you can try charging your phone in a different outlet.
Hey guys, im new on this forum and ive got a big problem about my device
since i dropped my device on metal surface from 50 cm. , it stopped responding like no charging, no led activity, not even battery gets heated a bit due to charge, i left my phone on wall charge now.
forum didnt let me to add a picture but screen is cracked from head to toe.
the thing is, i wanna make sure is it dead or just cracked screen, how can i check its status like the chipset is working, or the phone is working but the screen,
i cannot browse that from my pc via usb so are there any software to check phone's status, or what can i do to check it,
thanks in advance...
can you start in recovery or download mode (HOME POWER+ or-) or just shut down and start normally? ?

no theres nothing man. no sound no leds
it seems bad your affair....
So my phone was OK, when suddenly having 42% of battery it turned off and didn't turn on again. I can't access to download or recovery modes to flash it and change the ROM. The phone doesn't react even on charging (0 V, 0 A on the USB cable). Don't know what to do.
Did anybody have this problem too ? I really need to bring back this phone
Do you happen to have a blue led light and a completely black screen ?

No, there is nothing. Just bricked phone without any sign of life.
Unfortunately, if that is the case, this may be a hardware problem related to the motherboard which needs to be replaced. Make sure to leave it for a few days then try to charge it to see if it would respond, otherwise, make also sure that this is not a display problem by checking if the device is working ( try phonecalls or so ... )

It is definitely the case. The battery itself gives 3.6 V but the phone is not getting it. I've seen a topic where a guy was advising to perform a JTAG flashing (can be a bootloader error) connecting the phone immediately to a power source (without battery). But not sure if I can perform it too. Any ideas ?
Bootloader errors are mainly due to motherboard malfunctions on the galaxy S7 edge, this is a very common issue where the only fix is to completely replace the motherboard, some cases can be repaired due to a reset or a stock rom flash ( which cannot be your cases because you cannot access to download more nor recovery) while others are fixed with a custom flash. Some very rare cases are also fixed with that JTAG flashing you heard of, this forces the battery to work and deliver its power to the rest of the parts, but this is a very risky operation which can damage your entire phone. If you wanna try it, I advice you to get some professional help as you can hurt yourself too in this process ! Good luck
It looks like you a main board issue. You might need to have that part replaced.

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to replace it with another board from another used phone ? Won't it cause any conflicts with other phone parts ?
Dude i had the same problem before 2 days and what i did was i ejected the sim tray and put usb cabel in it and hold every key and it booted up

Yeah, you just have to make sure that it is completely working. But my experience shows that it doesnt end up really well, because the phone will just suffer from other malfunctions due to imcompatibility and all. So I dont recommend you doing it, if you really want to repair it, send it to the customer services !
Good luck

Thanks. Their only recommendation is to throw away the phone because it's not going to work. Will try the official service too but not sure if they'll help me.

I had the same issue. As suggested that the phone may switch on once the battery is completely drained, I waited till last night and plugged it in and it started charging.
It was fine till this morning. I inserted the SIM cards and then connected to the laptop. I thought I would backup the data using smart switch before doing a factory reset. The backup went fine till 75% and then boom again turned off. This time there's a lot of battery left, and I might have to wait 4-5 days before it can be drained completely. But I'm now hopeful that it'll eventually turn on and when it does I'll immediately do a factory reset before doing anything else. I'm suspecting that a rogue app might be causing it. This time it might have happened while that app is being backed up. The LED is constant Red this time indicating the state it was connected to the laptop at the time of incident.
Is there anyway to drain battery quickly at this stage?
It turned on again last night when I connected the charger. It was showing the charging symbol. After 5-6 minutes of charge I tried to hold Vol - + Power buttons briefly to reset the device and it went off again. It's lying like a brick currently.

had the same thing happen to me.
Initially crashed.
could be turned on after draining the battery(phone was still warm at times with screen off/phone off)
charged and could turn on again.
But the time it could stay on would decrease and decrease.
It then just bootlooped and with that would only accept charge turned off.
In the end I couldnt turn it on at all and it wouldnt charge.
Looking to replace my mainboard now. seems that the Flashmemory damaged itself.
