Bell Vogue keeps rebooting

Hi everyone,
I have had some trouble with my Vogue. At first it simply would not turn on. I would get a red light when I plugged the phone in to charge it. I have been using my old phone for several months now. Today I went out to the nearest Bell store and it seems like anything new is going to cost in the $500 area because I still have 1 year left on my contract. So I have renewed my interest in getting my Vogue working again
The original thread describing my original problem (with the red light) is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546674
I purchased a new battery and now when I plug it in on the USB I can turn it on (no lights, red, green, or otherwise) but it does turn on. It boots up just passed the blue “Bell” splash screen and then reboots. It does this over and over again.
I am able to get into the boot loader screen by holding down the power and camera buttons and pressing the reset button.
Any ideas on what I can do? Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
The Fish

Reflash your rom when you get to the bootloader screen.
If you are unlocked flash nfsfan or whatever, just rename the nbh file to 'VOGUIMG.nbh' and it will flash.
If you were on stock you'll need the nbh from the stock package.

OK, here is an update
I have tried a hard-reset (press Send and End buttons at the same time and press reset button). This worked but the phone still kept rebooting. Tried the original battery, phone booted a little further up before rebooting.
I got the phone into boot loader mode and left it plugged in on the USB cable for a few minutes. This time when I rebooted I became ecstatic. I got all the way to the “align your screen” stage before hearing the “phone is dying” sound and the phone turned off. So here is what I think may have happened:
I have long lost the home charger kit. So I have, for as long as I can remember, been charging it by plugging it into a PC via the USB. This is fine except that Windows will only power the USB for the device if there is a driver installed. The device/phone looks different to Windows when it is in boot loader mode then when it is fully booted up. If the device is so dead as to not even have a flicker of life I don't think Windows sees it.
I have been doing this tonight under Linux. Linux seems to either have the driver, a more generic driver or powers the USB all the time for any device. I noticed this same behavior when charging my Moto Razr the same way. Under Linux it just worked by plugging it in. Under Widows I had to install the driver. So maybe here is what happened.
The battery got SO dead that it was not able to boot the phone up far enough for Windows on the PC to see it, recognize it and begin powering the USB port. Perhaps leaving the phone in bootloader mode and plugged into a Linux box got the battery a little more charged till I got to the point of being able to align the screen.
Anyway, I am more then ever convinced that this is some kind of battery/power issue. The phone is now lying here powered up and charging (already at 20%). The carrier customizations ran, rebooted while I crossed my fingers, and came back up. I even called *BELL and got a message about activating my phone. Tomorrow if the phone is charged up and behaving normally I will get an ESN change done and be back in the world of decent smartphones. Man have I ever missed my Google Maps
The next step is to flash a more up-to-date ROM... if I dare mess with a good thing.

[HELP] LG Optimus 7 E900 (WP7.5) stuck on boot logo

Hi good day, im a newbie here. I have problem with my LG Optimus 7 E900 Windows Phone 7.5, its just stuck on boot logo. The problem started last week, i was sleeping and i woke up because my pillow is kinda hot and then i found out it was my phone. It was hotter than the usual and it was not even plugged in to a charger, it was also stuck to the LG boot logo screen. I tried to unlugged the battery since i cant turn it off, waited for 3 -5 minutes and plugged it back in - still the same. I tried to do the Cold Boot, by holding the Volume - and Camera and tapping the Power button but nothing is happening, it just says Cold Boot and wont do anything. I tried to do the Restore, by holding the Camera button and tapping the Power and i got the screen that shows it needs to be connected to the computer. I've connected it to the computer and Zune automatically detected it and says the phone needs to be restored. For few minutes the restoration was complete and the phone started to turn on again. I was very happy but then, the problem starts again, the phone just turn off and stuck on the boot logo. I've unplugged the battery, after half a day i plugged it back in and the phone turned on. I reset the phone because i thought that it could theres no memory left but after few minutes, it happened again. So my phone is now useless, it will turn on for 10 to 30 minutes if i unplugged the battery for 3 to 5 hours. Is this a software or hardware issue??? I am really wondering why and Im kinda frustrated about LG or WP7 already.
If anyone out there can help me i would really appreciate it. If you have the same problem, lets help each other so that we can have our phone working again. Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

please help

This is hardware problem. You have to buy this board:
You can buy New SIM Card Micro-HD Flex Cable for LG E900 Optimus 7 from ebay.com, sefelectronics.com or mobile-cherry.com.
I recommend to buy it from mobile-cherry.com. It 100% works!

Hi sir, thanks for your reply. after two weeks, my phone starts working again. its been two days now and still working fine. what happened is that i tried to charge it when it was off, after 30 mins or so i turned it on and it works. but i noticed and smelled burnt plastic. i stick my noise on the micro usb part and its really smells something is burning inside but the phone is still turned on. i took off the back cover and i felt that the upper is hot and the battery seems to be ok.
i guess my concern is, is it okey to use this still? im afraid that it might explode or something while on my pocket. what would you suggest?
thank you very much!, i really appreciate it.

I solved this problem by disabling the detection of the position in the menu settings. You should have a lot of patience in being able to restart it at least once to enter the menu, possibly leaving it off and without battery for a whole night.

my device has just quit workin all together

my att g2 4.2 rooted stock rom worked normally last night, this morning I plugged it into the car charger and it displayed it was charging with 2% charge present. I pressed the power button the boot animation began I set it down and when I picked it back up a few minutes later to use it...well nothing...the charging indicator led wasn't lit and when I pressed the power button LG appeared for only a split second then went black. when I plug it in same thing, LG logo for a brief second then disappears. I haven't done anything recently except xposed modules, no flashing of anything. any ideas? thank you guys

It happened to me (on other devices) when I let them discharged too far. Just allow it to charge awhile then try to hold the power button
for 10-20secs ... The NookHD+ were the worst in this situation (it won't charge sometimes, I had to plug/unplug a few times to initiate a charge, I was almost about to RMA one of them).

something else that's odd
when I plugged my device into my laptop the laptop acted like I just plugged in 12 different things that all needed to have their disk formatted. what is going on? wierd

try charging the device in offline mode ( turn it off and let it charrge for a while) and then turn it on . mind wouldnt turn on because of very low charge yesterday. doing this helped

update
I let it charge for several hours, nothing...it appears to be in some kind of boot loop. I can't turn it off all the way, I hold the powwer button for tensec or so and the LG will appear for a second then disapear and then the back light stays on. oh ya, when I plugged it in a few hours ago it wouldn't turn on but the red LED was flashing. I'm not sure how long it stayed on, but it was off when i got back to it several hours later. thank you for your time fellas!

If you can get to recovery at all, leaving it on charge in there. Has saved me in a similar situation.

Could have been the power switch that makes the phone short circuit and goes off anytime.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

Thank you sirs, unfortunately still no good

it sounds like you had the same thing as everyone else yesterday that had twrp installed and the carrier automatically updated the system.
I could not get my phone recognized by the laptop and had to use pdanet drivers, which finally worked, but I still had to dig for the device. then had to flash back to stock. There is a pretty good thread on this topic, already. Search for it in the developer section. Do not skip any steps, such as setting the date back to jan2012 and turning off the internet. go slow and methodically, or you will miss a step and get frustrated.

Device won't charge.

Hey there,
My Dad got a Galaxy S5 some time ago and cannot afford to upgrade. The phone recently stopped charging all together. When plugged in and powered on it doesn't respond to the charger, at all. When powered off and plugged in it loops the grey battery logo.
However if you boot download mode and remove the battery whilest leaving the phone plugged in, it stays on and functional. I even completed a full Odin flash back to stock without the battery in the phone for the entire process.
My dad claims he got a virus, but I factory data reset the device and flashed the latest update via Odin, and it still will not charge.
If anyone has any idea on what the issue may be, it would be appreciated. Prefreably as-fast-as-possible. He runs a business, and cannot answer calls for it without this phone.
Thanks.

Connect to computer and hold down both volume keys
If that brings you to the download mode you can reinstall all your firmware using odin

i have the a207m and unfortunately it did not work thanks anyway
so i could actually see it turn on and got the unlock screen and saw that battery was dead and did not have a charging symbol it turned off 2 seconds later. can it be the baterry that causes this?

It can be the battery but it could be a dirty charge port or even cable. When the battery is extremely low you're not going to be able to flash it, nor should you try. See if you can get anything out of the charger connect area on the phone.... maybe it's lint.. At this point there isn't much else besides ensuring you have a clean connection.
