What you need to do is the following:
1) Switch on the mobile
2) Connect it to USB
3) While stuck on the Dopod splash screen, press the Comm Manager button (lower one on the left) and while pressing it push the soft reset button.
4) DO NOT release the comm manager button until you see the boot loader screen (full of colours)/. This takes approx. 5 secs.
5) When in bootloader screen, start the ROM update that you downloaded from the Dopod website (executable).
6) This will start the normal ROM flash program
7) Enjoy!
Thank Kta.

Thank you for your help! I upgrade a new Radiorom 2.47.11 and it work well!

Did you already have HardSPLv1 loaded? If so, enter the bootloader (hold power and camera buttons and press reset and you should get a tri-color screen). From there flash whatever ROM you were using again and see if that fixes it.

I don't have load HardSPLv1.
If I press power+camera, not appear tri-color screen.
Any idea?

Please give more information: What did you do just before this happened? Did you flash a ROM? If this is happening for no reason, take it back to your vendor and have them fix it. If you flashed a ROM, did you follow the right steps?

power+camera+reset...and its really tricky. Keep holding camera+power after you have pushed reset till it comes up. It even takes me a number of tries before I get the tri-color screen.
I never tried loading HardSPLv1 from the boot screen but it should work. I highly suggest doing that *before* you try to re-flash a ROM. Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Then after loading HardSPLv1 go back to the tri-color screen and load the HTC or ATT default ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
EDIT: I agree with TheOccult FYI, I assume you have a reason to not have simply swapped the device at your retailer hence my advice. If you can easily swap the device just do that instead and it'll save you a lot of grief.

NO. I don't flash any ROM.
I forgot that the SIM card in not under battery, so I remove the battery when windows is working.....without power off.
If I press left+soft keys+soft reset I got white screen.
I press call/send, apear "restore...completed".
After I press call/send again, apear again black screen with "smart mobility"

I'm just curious but why would you remove the battery when the device is powered on?
Your best bet is to take it back to the vendor as they may need to reload your device since you haven't flashed your rom you should be okay.

You broke it. Take it back where you bought it.

No, I try directly by USB and it works.... But the system was very slow and I decided to flash again. But no way by USB because the loading process has not been through (is stuck well before setting screen)...
So I tried by the bootloader mode : not be accessed
And for flash with SdCard you need to enter in this mode ...
Thanks for your help if you can.
For your information, I flashed a lot between your version and android, this is the first time in several years that I have this problem.

Thanks again.

Of course
A glimmer of hope, sometimes, when I boot my phone and press and hold camera button, and connect with USB : my PC detect it but just one time and can't mount really
And I will also inquire if there is not a solution for the dismantling and see...

Is your phone security unlocked ? If so press the power button and the green (send) button to put your phone into diag mode.You will need the motoQ drivers "just search for motoQ or diag drivers".Your screen will be black but you will be able to use mtty commands ie info 8 (check for bad blocks) cego (boot windows).
You will have to connect mtty via com port.
Be careful with mtty it can kill your device.

I tested your solution but ... no way ...
I find the plan to remove and also the procedure for entering diagnostic mode but without result so (capture button plus power button : no effect).
It's incredible

This solution will only work if you have hard spl mfg installed,It could be a faulty camera button.

.You must start in bootloader mode (camerabutton while reset for orbit2, think polaris is same button)
.Then plug in the usb and windows should install the driver (must have active sync or mobile device center installed)
=> Now updateutil should find your phone
......
If both are not working, there was a thread where you can flash via sd card, but dont know much about it.
.......
One question:
Do i need to install a radio first? As far as i know a nand android wipes the radio too and pcarvalhos rom dont have radio, or?

the camera button is working thank god i reach the bootloader but Update won't recongize it even there but i did before when i had windows mobile ,

You dont give much information what ur doin...
so some questions to help people help ;D
So does windows brings a message "driver bla bla?"
If you get some reaction from windows just look if it finds a driver.
This was a problem once i hadnt installed windows mobile device center like i wrote before
If you dont get any reaction, try different usb cable or usb port.
Clean usb port at your device(polaris)
---------
Have u searched about the sd flash yet?

yea..give us some more info...as some radio version will also prevent from reinstall the rom

I suggest you to use sd method.
Prepare a POLAIMG.nbh (from a windows one version), put it in a sd card (FAT32 Formatted).
Press and hold camera button
press reset (hold always camera)
the multiple color boot loader start,
after while it will appear sd flash interface,
release camera button
press power button and wait.
