No more bootloader no more nothing, after rom upgrade s200

Hi All,
I've tried to upgrade the ROM of my QTEK S200.
It got completely stuck!!! I had to remove the battery. Now it stays black. Even a hard-reset does nothing. No bootloader, no white screen, nothing. It's like the device doesn't recognize the battery anymore. Same problem with another battery. When I connect the power supply, the light stays red for 5 seconds and then goes out again. No charging (orange) light.
Does this mean that the device was short-cutted (hardware problem) or can this be fixed with some manipulation?
Anybody an idea how I can fix the hardware (if broken) myself? Can't be to difficult if it just blew a fuse ;-)
Thanks

If the accu not charge, I think he is dead. You need a new one. For flashing new rom, you need a good acco over 50 %. Than you go to bootloader modus and flash a WM5 Rom WM5Rom.

Yep, hes dead alrite, make a good paper weight sorry bro...

not the battery
of course I tried a new battery
same problem

Can you make a downgrade to WM5 ? Ist the battery charged now ?

DC Adapter 4,5 V
I had the same problem.
Remove the battery and connect the pin nr 1 (nearest to the cam) to + and the pin nr 5 to -. I think 3,7 to 5 V is ok. Then bootloader and connect to computer.
Don't blame me if anything goes bad ;-)

how to proceed?
I've tried to do as explained...
I've taken an old charger (5v) and connected the cables (black/white striped to 1 and black to 5). I'm not 100 percent sure about + and -, but normally black is always -, if I'm not mistakin'
What should happen? How should I proceed?
My device does nothing... No light. Power button does nothing, hard reset does nothing.
Does this procedure work with a QTEK S200?
Maybe the charger (old gsm) is too old or broken?
Maybe + is black...
Sooo many options ;-)

Worked on mine S200
Of course You must know if the adapter is working and +/-.
When I connected 1 to + and 5 to - I could operate the mobile as if the battery was mounted and working.
My problem began because the battery isn't charging in bootloader mode.
And I'm still stuck there... Because it's a G4 device flashed with G3 SPL... Anyone got a suggestion how to solve this?

I Did the same thing '''''HELP"""

What you should do
Keep the device on for 2 hours connect it to the electricity.
Install the original rom with the PDA connected like that to the PC, if it does not enter the Rom update continue trying by doing a hard reset with the stylus and pressing the left com button on the left side of the device, then retry the rom install, if it says unable to connect continue trying, using the procedure i explained before, thats what i did when the same stuff happen to me i was without my device working for a month, now i´m using WM6 with the Diamond Rom, so its possible, to do this you just have to keep trying.

my prophet is block and after try of hard reboot is dont turn on.. its not turn on on any way, no detect charger ether ( no red led ) battery was almost full when its go off..

My friend. A few people have tried the pin method and one or two have succeeded. IMHO i would not try it, for fear of frying your phone, yourself or starting a fire.
Take out the battery for a good couple of hours. Take out SIm card and SD card. Put battery back in and try to charge for at least 5 hours, even if the light does not show (might just be LED issue).
Then see if you can start in boot loader, u now how to yes? (keep camera button pressed, soft reset with stylus, then let go of camera button after few sconds). What happens?

pins to power
I've tried connecting the extreme small pins to the (big) cables of the charger but nothing happens over here. The screen stays black.
To All,
Any hints on how to connect these cables to the pins, without the fact that they're constantly coming off the pins and constantly touching other pins?
You try and tell me about your experience ;-)

revive prophet revive ;-)
I was just playing with my qtek when I noticed that after connecting and disconnecting it to the AC for 5 times or so (with red light going on and off for a second), it tries to startup, but drops dead after a fraction of a second. Damned ;-) No chance of going into bootloader.
Almost there ;-))

keep it plugged in for about 5 hours, dont play with it or turn it on lol, give a go unless u have done already and just havent said

Direct Connection to 220v doesn't work
The workaround of connecting the pins directly to the charger doesn't seem to work on a QTEK S200 G4.
Since mine is a G4, I wasn't lucky... I'm left with a cut charger cable.
I'll try to charge it for 5 hours but since no led is going on I don't think this will have any effect.

Listen keep it plug in to the electricity for 12 hours, then try to put it in bootloader mode by pressing the, com button on the left side of the device after you hard reset it, with the stylus after you manage to enter the bootloader mode, you only need to follow the steps described on several posts on the forum.

if nothing works connect the device and try to install the original rom, my device is a g3 so i´m not sure if the g4 works the same way.

Not charging anymore

Hi all,
My HTC Polaris is not charging anymore. I was running TomTom yesterday in my car with the 12V connected. Suddenly it said low battery and the phone was powered off. I tried reconnecting the powercable, but the leds stayed off.
Back at home i tried the normal charged and the USB charger, both without effect. Somehow my phone goes to the Red/Blue/Green etc screen when connected to the PC.
I tried updating the rom, but it is stuck at 100% and after taking the battery out and putting it back in it is still dead.
Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

It *could* be a dead battery, you get the same symptoms if you take the battery out, the charger on its own won't power the phone.
If it was me I would somehow wangle to try a mate's battery or from a phone shop (O2 if you're in the U.K.)

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

So I rooted and installed leo rom and it was nice. Wanted to try the neon pyramid rom, installed and all was fine.. I noticed though it seemed as if the battery wasnt charging like it did before. So I chose to let it discharge all the way down to 0 and re charge. All was well, until I went to plug it into the charger and now I get a blinking orange light for a while, then it just turns off (no light.) The phone will not turn on and the only light i get is when i first plug it into the charger it blinks maybe 20 times and thats it.
Are there any tricks I can try to wake this thing from the dead? What should I do?
Any help is appreciated, I need my phone back!

Why did you post this in the Sensation forum? You seem to have a Nexus S, see your signature.
Back to the problem:
What happens is you remove the battery, put it back in and hold the volume down button and power button till you see something...does this work?

This is a known problem and can be easily remedied.
Basically, on some Sensation's, the custom recovery img (CWM) doesn't let you charge when the phone is completely discharged.
To correct this, follow these steps:
Take out the battery and put it back in
Plug in the USB cable to charge the phone
Leave it for an hour or two
Come back
Unplug USB cable and try turning the Sensation on. If this doesn't work, take out the battery and put it back in. DO NOT plug the USB cable back in.
You may have to do this a few times to get it right. For more info, look at this thread.
Hope that helps

I must update my signature...ive got both, but I get nothing when trying to boot to the bootloader

Tried a couple times, ive got nothing, is there something i am missing?

Ok, the above method did not work, HOWEVER I found another thread and tried it.
I cut the usb cable open, and connected the positive and negative to the leads on the phone, inserted battery and it powered on, now I am charging and good to go. Whew!
Thanks guys!

My Desire S seems to be dead, help please

My Desire S does not show any good signs, does not boot or charge. If i connect it to the PC, does not show any new devices. The only sign i see, is if i have it connected to the AC or PC and after that i plug in the battery, the orange led show up for a few seconds, but if i have already plugged in the battery and i connect the AC or PC, the orange led does not show up. If i try to power on the device when the orange led is on, nothing happens and the led turns right off.
If someone have an idea, just let me know, thank you all.

have u try using another charger or cable?

What hboot were you using when your phone still worked? S-ON or S-OFF? Were you messing with your device in any way before it became bricked?

May be the motherboard is damaged or power system. In such case why don't u show your DS at HTC care.

I did try another 2 more cables, another battery, the same thing. I cant send it to HTC because the warranty is over. The phone was s-on, with the last hboot and with a custom ics rom installed. When I went to sleep the phone was ok but when I woke up the phone was dead. I did try a lot of commands in adb like adb reboot bootloader but the only thing show up is device not found. The phone did not have OC. Is there any kind of diagnostic software for HTC phones? The only think what i think is that is dead, but I don`t know what happen to it.

Sensation completely dead (RMA Service?)

My Sensation has passed by this afternoon.
It does not even turn on, does not react to anything.
The last days, battery started to fall down very quickly (from 100% to 0% in no more than 1 hour of use, when the previous day, it lasted well +24 hours as usual). Then it did not detect any sdcard in it. Then, common freezes with vertical and horizontal lines came across the screen, especially after playing some demanding game. Back of the phone was literally on fire. I had to wait several hours to reboot again, of it would freeze on the boot screen otherwise. From that final state it only lasted one more day.
adb does not detect it connected to any USB plug (no device found). I have tried with/without SIM, battery, swapping batteries, only connected to USB plug, with/without sdcard... with the same result.
Screen only lights on whenever connected to an USB plug, but it does not respond to anything. It does not sound like when Windows detect a new hardware found. adb tools does not work either.
My main question is. Phone was with bootloader unlocked, S-off, debranded and with CWM Recovery 6 and CM10.1 installed on it. I am going to send it to the HTC RMA service as it is within the two-year warranty period. Could they detect anythingof the above-mentioned even if the phone cannot boot?
Thanks in advance.

did you try to boot into bootloader?
probably they can see that the bootloader is unlocked(i am not sure)
did you try the unbricking project?
if you plug the device to the charger does the led show red?

Hello, thanks for the input.
The led does not show in any color. The screen just lights up a bit when connected to an USB plug. But it does not react to anything, power button, power+vol down button (for entering the bootloader)...etc. Now it is like a paperweight.
I will have a look at the unbricking project. But i highly doubt I could do anything if It cannot enter the bootloader and/or respond to adb commands...

I had the same issue you did. Are u sure your battery isnt too low to start charghing? You can try to charge it a bit with a usb cable, you need to cut it and just take the red (positive) and black (negative) wires and touch the + and - of your battery for like 1 min. Then it will start charging. Give it a shot, worked for me and many others.

Hello and many thanks for the help.
I try to boot it up without the battery, just connected to the power outlet via the official HTC USB cable and charger. That way, it is supposed to boot up in normal conditions, isn't it? I wanted to discard the battery part, but anyway, I have another (non-official battery) and it does not boot either.
