Hey guys,
unfortunately my Universal suddenly has lost his life spark! I did a normal soft reset and after that, it didn't boot up anymore. I tried to do a hard reset, but after pressing 0 (the screen shows up though) it switched off and did nothing. Even when i plug in the charger there is no LED lighting up.
My next step of course was trying to reflash it (bootloader screen works) but the upgrade programm on the computer didn't find any device connected.
So, is there any chance or method i can somehow reanimate my phone?
Thanks in advance,

1st thing would be to test the charger with a diffrent phone if it works fine then maybe internal problem with phone, take the battery out and put your finger across the battery terminals in the phone this will fool it into thinking there is a battery present and if the mains charger is good and the phone is fine then in theory it should allow it to boot up again. if this fails you will probably need repair
with jasjar-bl1.01-ruu-v1.2 I alway restart my JJ Leave your uni i bl an start the application Good luck

Universal is able to charge only after first initializing Therefore as your device never come so fare you will not able to see any LED. Anyhow and somehow it is a good sign ( better then RED LED)
Further to your problem which was sudden switch off, leads me to think that your battery might died!! Do you still rebember what battery level it had just before switch off? Next, Do you have a spare battery to test with it? beside one more thing you could try is to take out your SIM card and Memory card and see whether you could boot up.
i tried pretty everything: spare battery, no sim/sd card, etc...
but after using the file mauric.26 has mentioned, it works again!
dont ask me why...
thank you guys!
Is the same for me I don't know why but with that file ruu-1.0....resume the uni I'm happy for you Bye

Hi,I have a Android gingerbread 2.3,haspl v.3,MAGLDR113,it's second time my htc block and dont want to restart from the buton,i have remove the battery and it dosnt want to turn on ,there is no screen,the battery was charget,but the red light don't light when i plug the cabel,in my PC dont recognise usb,nothing and the phone,i try for 1 day to remove a battery,but no result,1st time when it happens it work,but for a week i can't use it,Sorry For my English,Some ideas what can i do before i took it back in the store
sounds like it could be a simple flat battery. when magldr is installed you cannot charge the phone unless android is running, so when it is off it does not charge.
if you can try another battery, or your battery in a winmo hd2, that will tell you if its teh battery.
If you have a spare usb cable (any type, doesnt have to be a hd2 micro usb cable) cut end off, bare red and black, hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for about a minute, which should give it enough power to charge.
Also check very carefully that you dont have a bent battery pin from all teh battery in/out. they bend easily.
i hava a Bat charger and charge the bat all night,and the morning it show me that bat is charget,put it on the phone,but nothing ... cant turn on
Maybe battery is dead. Do you own a volt meter an can check the voltage provided by the battery? It shoud show up about 4 volt.

i took the bat to my friend with devace to check the battery,and everything is OK,but the phone didn't turn on,Can i reinstal the Android ?and how can i do it
Is there a program that can connect to the phone and erase everything
To wipe the phone install the HD2 toolkit, you can download it here.
It includes every tool needed for maintaining your HD2.
Be sure to install the drivers!
Start the program and press the Task29 button, follow the instructions provided. When it's finished your HD2 will be fully wiped, so you would need to reinstall everything.
Do so by doing a MAGLDR repartition. After that choose MAGLDR update recovery to flash the Clockworkmod recovery.
Then go into the Clockworkmod recovery and flash your rom.
Now your HD2 should be fully wiped
BUT! If your PC doesn't even recognize your HD2, and you can't even get to the bootloader screen by pressing and holding both volume down and the "end call" button. Then it's probably a hardware failure.

Magldr repartition flashes cwm so no need for the update recovery step. That's for, well the clue is in the name,,, updating the cwm version on an already partitioned instal.
Okay, thanks for clarifying that!
Didn't know it worked like that, I only use CLK.

I've same problem after similar conditions.
Mine is 512Mb HD2 running Andorid on SD
- while using in extreme conditions: very low network signal, hot ambience temperature, using GPS and downloading data throug 3G
- the screen freeze on image and not respond on touch neiter button
-after 2-3 minutes phone temperature became very hot and screen again on freeze
- removed battery (for power off button not responding)
- insert battery
- no power up, no green LED with AV adaptet, no USB recognized
I'll trying to charge battery but i don't have a table battery chager.
Could you please repeat me what you did, since I didn't get the first part, what did you put on your router (what kind of router please)?
I've tried using my phone with another HD2 phone's battery which is working (and which also started with my own battery?!) but my own phone wouldn't start at all with the other battery...
The battery wasn't fully charged, but did it have to be, if so how long should I charge the battery with the cut USB cable for it to be charged enough please?!
TIA
P.S. I've tried a voltmeter on my battery and it said 4.14V (should it be 4V exactly?) and should I even try the cut USB charge trick again (since I've tried another phone's working battery)?

Ok if I understand you correctly you have tried your battery in a working HD2 and it worked. Then you tried the battery from the working HD2 in your device but your device still did not boot up. If this is correct I do not feel your battery is the problem, but still check the battery pins on your device to make sure none of them are not slightly bent and not making contact properly.
Also if you can provide more info on what you may have done to cause this or what happened when your device reached the state it is currently in. This info can help others and me help you better.
I have a similar problem.
The phone won't start, it gets to the white htc screen sometimes but quits within a fraction of a second.
This has been so since the first Android boot hung (I suspect I have not followed the steps accurately enough...). I have charged, decharged and recharged the battery using the suggested USB-cable technique, but this was of no aid so far, so it's not the battery. Pins and all's fine.
It's someone else's phone, too, so it would be rather unfortunate if I bricked it.
Are there any other common reasons for this behavior? Most tutorials rely on a PC connection, but as it does not recognize such a thing, that's a bit of a problem.
Finally the same problem here.
Battery status was about 70% and running smoothly (WinMO Custom Rom) since installed.Unlocked the Screen and tried to start programs.
The Icons were lightened up but nothing happened.Tried to softrestart...Nothing happened.
Removed and reinserted the Battery.
=> Not turning on.
-another fully charged Battery => nothing
-charging on Charger => nothing not even charging light
-plugged into (running) pc => nothing not even charging light
-5 hours in the fridge => nothing
-charging over night => nothing
Any hints ?
Thx for the goot work around here and greets from Germany !
Sebastian
PS If anyone got one to offer => contact me. Dont like those situations
Bad news!
Seems like your MB is gone...:crying:
Maybe one chance left for a JTAG attempt to a local service shop...
thats what i was afraid of
at least it happend only one hour after i made a backup
thx for the reply !

While phone is off do the following:
1. Press volume down button and power off button both together till you see Android Robot with (!) Exclamation mark;
2. Now release both keys and press volume keys (both up and down volume keys together);
3. This will show you Stock Recovery;
4. Now from volume down key select "wipe Data" and execute it with power key;
5. Now select Reboot.
This will probably resolve the issue. However, if the issue still persists then you need to use RSD lite to flash your phone with the some Froyo SBF.
For more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: To enter bootloader menu so that RSD lite recognize your phone you need to have its USB drivers installed on your system and while booting you need to press Volume Up key and Power key together while phone is off to enter Bootloader menu to flash with SBF.]
Hope this helps!!
ATB!!

Try this:

Why?
Cause a damaged OS, cannot charge your battery. you must pull your battery out of defy and charge the battery externally.
Or you buy a new battery, or let charge your old battery by a cellphone-seller, or asks a friend of yours with a defy to charge your battery for you etc.
Have u checked the voltage of your battery, it must be 4,1 V if the battery is fully charged.
I think esok44 is right your battery is empty, there is not enough power in it to start your defy.
i just tried the usb modification to connect it to the battery directly,,done all the steps as told ... nothing!!!
i'm really getting frustrated cuz its been like this for the past one week,,i've tried everything
don't have any friends with defy phone...
can't think of anything else to do but to brake the phone
well if everything fails, give it to motorola...
if it really is broken and everything fails, then try it.
would be the last option for me, but at least it is one...
But as is said, had the same problem and in may case it worked...
i've read on xda about an usb-manipulation to flash sbf when battery is empty, maybe you could try this...
I'll add a link to it

i have encountered this problem previously and the solution was replacing the battery, as RATTAR said the battery is not charged. try to charge your battery or try another charger, once it's charged rsd will recognize it. don't panic or despair.
Sorry guys actually I am not a wp7 user but my friend who owns a HTC Surround ATT Version T8788 insisted to ask me for help on his phone. His phone has a little heart-shaped icon over the battery bar which i believed that it is battery save mode for htc wp7 phone based on my research. I do actually did all possible ways to get rid of this problem but still it cannot be resolved.
What I did:
1: I tried to charge the phone (via pc usb cable and adapter) in long term but it failed, in contrast the phone would switch on and off rapidly. My Zune and PC cannot detect the phone via pc usb cable.
2: I pressed on the settings mode in order to try to disable the battery save mode but when I was getting in there it freeze for a while and it popped out to the main home screen. It did not allow me to get into the settings mode every time unfortunately. Same goes to any other apps and modes in the phone.
3: I failed to get into recovery mode since there has not much battery left. The purpose I did so is because I wanted to try to do a factory reset over the phone.
4: I tried pulling out and in the battery for 30seconds but still not gonna switch on the phone unless it is charging (but still i face the problem on (1) while charging).
5: I bought a new battery which i believed it has at least 50% of the battery life in it but it is still not allowing me to get into settings mode to disable the battery save mode. Not just settings mode but other apps and modes as well.
My apology again because I really lack of idea on resolving my friend's phone so the only way I can do now is to post this thread in htc surround ATT Version T8788 xda forum. Lastly, I do appreciate someone who can help out to solve this. Million thanks for any of your reply and co-operations.

1. Are you using OEM cable? No adapter should be required, if you are using a different cable pc might not acknowledge phone.
2. How are you accessing settings? Settings can be accessed from "Settings" app on app list; swipe to left, swipe up, tap to open.
3. ?
4. See 1., also try charging @ wall outlet it will charge much facter than through USB, again OEM cable recommended.
5. I do not think that batteries com with 50% charge. I could be wrong but when I purched my device it had only a residual charge ( enough to boot and make a few short calls).
If low battery charge is issue you should also receive message "Battery Critically Low" upon boot. If you cannot access any apps once booted and icon is still appearing over battery you do not have enough of a charge. If your only option is to charge though pc give it plenty of time it should chare even if not using recommended cable. Charging will be indicated by flashing red LED. Turning off your screen should speed up the process (it will take several hours plugged in to USB).
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your response and patience! Actually i just resolved the phone problem Monday ago.

Hello.
I've flashed my s5 with popwizh and everything went well. But after a full battery discharge the phone won't turn back on.
Battery is good and charger.
volUp+home+power doesn't do anything
volDown+home+power doesn't start download recovery
tried to boot from sdcard with a debrick img but no luck.
What more can I do? I don't want a paperweight please.
Charge it?
Battery is good and charged
If you can't get it to even turn on or enter download mode, there's not a lot you can do
Try removing everything like SIM and SDCard, remove the battery too and only connect the charger, see if you can get any signs of life at all
If not, it sounds like a hardware problem
Its to much of a coincidence to be a hardware problem, I refuse to give up just yet.
So far all the posts that resemble to my situation go on an on about flashing a debrick.img to the sdcard and boot from there. Dead boots and stuff.
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/g900f-debrick-img-lollipop-t3240626 but without success
You said it won't even power on ?
How you going to flash anything without power?
I'm not saying 100% this is the problem, but most devices die when they are powered on, as that is when they are put under the highest stress
For example, I put away my treadmill in the corner of the room about 6 months ago, working - came to use it a few weeks ago, dead
Looks like pixies killed it, but actually it was when it was powered up again, just looks like it died when it was off
--
Is the phones power button working?
If you at least had a sign of life, we could go from there, but without any power at all, I have no clue
Battery connection contacts not bent or snapped?
From what I understand the phone won't turn on because the boot partition is gone, so if I manage to boot from the sd card to the download recovery, I can then use odin to flash it back to stock android.
Am i wrong?
Are you even getting the logo on screen when you turn it on?
Does the screen even light up?
You said there is no power at all, that's not a boot partition problem
Man if it's not turning on and there's no reaction when you press the power button then there's two things I can suggest : the power button is not working; or when the battery went completely dead its safety system thing could have turned on, which means you have to put it to charge as long as it takes for it to turn on again. Plus if your phone was exposed to water which I doubt its power controller could have gotten burnt
Have you plugged it into a pc? See if it registers with that and if it dies but still doesn't boot just try to leave it on the charger for a few hours even if it's fully charged. Then battery out for 10 secs wait... wait... wait... and turn it on plugged into the wall. Or at least try. If that still won't work samsung repair Centre for you
Still no life, I've tried everything said so far. My only hope is a debrick.img to boot from the sd card, which I don't have.

Try to plug the phone to adb and see if it recognize it , if it's not i don't know maybe try another battery to see if its battery related or other hardware composant
