What kind of ROM wm6 for the hurricane are you flashed? If it not containts IPL & SPL for hurricane it is not over now.
Try to downgrade to the original firmware for you platform (TORNADO)

Try to charge battarey with external charger (not in phone). Or with orriginal charger, connect it and leave at 6-12 hours.
And when you try to turn on phone ith it have red blinking for a second?
May be that you reflash incorrect botloader (IPL & SPL). I know method how to repair it, but ferst of all check that your battarey ith full charge...
yes exactly, when i have the baterry in the device and i want to turn it on, i flashes verry weak for a moment..
and when i remove the battery and put it into my original charger, it flashes strong for a second when i put the connector in.
so i am correct, that means my battery is empty and i have to find a way to charge it external..
i already have an offer for an another phone, do you think i can repair this one?
and which method do i have to use?
thanks in advance
edit:
with some wires and an another adapter i figered a way out to charge the baterry external..
it would be great if you could help me.

Chek the voltage of baterry ( it must be near 3.7-4.3 v). The easy external charge you can make taking the charger with same V & Am parameters, choping connector and take the choped wires to baterry in right dirrection "+" to "+" & "-" to "-", but this is dangerous way soo if you dont uderstand how to doo this, dont doo it.
But it seems, as when you try to connect orriginal charger there are only blincking for a second and nothing else, that you destroy the bootloader on your phone...
And is this blincking red or orange flash ?
no i realy know what i am doing and i let it charge for a couple of hours but there is no result..
it still doesn't do anything and i know the battery is full now.
when i want to turn it on, it flashes red, so if the bootloader is destroyed that means that he not can be repaired is it?
well.. i already thougd that it was over but now i now it for sure..
thanks for youre help

I can repair it ( I repaired many devices with same problem), but i am from ukraine, soo i dont know is it possible to send it to me for repeairing, or i can buy it from you for experements in repairing...
i live in holland so that is a bit to far for driving indeed
well, ofcourse i can sent it to you but what does that costs? transport, repairing etc..
or you may buy mines for experimenting and than i buy an another one..
how much would you give for my 8300?
is repairing so difficult that i cant do it my own? or do i need special tools or something?

I dont know about shipping cost from you country(you must find out on your post services), for repairing i ask near 20 EUR. And ofcourse shipping by your costs in both sides.
If you want to sell it for me i can give you near 30-35 EUR (it is dependent from accesories and outward appearance).And I pay shipping costs.
Yes for repairing you need special tools (special cable etc.) and wide experience...
oke then i want to sell it to you that makes it a lot easyer, because special tools and experience is not really what i got
i am going to buy a 8310 so i want to keep some accesiores like car holder and stuff.. i can offer you the phone and battery and charger..
so that will be 35 + shipping costs? i will look that up, i dont think that is verry much..
i will sent you a message with my bank acount number and then i would like to know youre adress so i can sent it to you..

This guide right for your phone( i meen the procedure). But if you took the ROM from this guide, you kill bootloader in your phone, becouse (maybe) it including the IPL & SPL for TYPHOON. Wright mee to PM...
And give mee a link dirrectly to the ROM that you flashing...

Hey my TP won't charge anymore...
I tried alot of things but nothing worked:
I tried another ROM,
i tried another battery, another charger
The guys @ the shop did'nt know what todo either?
ANd i wont send my tp to htc because the last time it came with alot of scrathes back so.....
I'm kinda desperate here...
Have you tried a hard-reset (not the same as installing a different ROM!)?
yep didnt work either...
Do you still have warranty? I would go for a replacement, because it certainly isn't a software issue.
if you don't want to send it back, another way is to get a cradle that charges just the battery
of course, this wouldn't fix your problem, but it's something you could do

Well is sounds to me like you have got to make a choice, A Working Phone or a Pretty Phone.
At this point its going to need to be replaced, and if you don't want to pay to get it replaced you'll have to get a warranty replacement. In a warranty replacement they will sent you a Refurbished Phone, and It will have scratches, but it will Charge.
Hi everyone,
Here's my problem :
Since some few days, my Captivate won't start up, and won't connect anymore.
The screen stays black!
I tried usually things : removing battery,sim,microsd, then pressing vol up, down and power, connecting with ODIN3.. Nothing happends.
It was bricked after a custom ROM update. I did format data, cache and .. system ! As usually, because I tought formatting system was necessary. Maybe it was the wrong thing that made it crashes..
So, I thank you a lot for bringing me any help !!

could you give pls a little detail. as to what custom rom did you flashed, is it the froyo rom or ginger rom? and elaborate further on what did you do when this happens it might give other people here some more understanding on how to help you. If your your phone won't power at all and the soft bottons won't light up and won't respond with key combos or even a jig you likely had a perma brick as in hard brick.!!......If you are still on warranty no worries just tell them that your phone suddenly dies and that you have no clue what happens to it.
You can also try this if you like read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020976&page=3
Thanks for your answer!
I flash many of my phones, so, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of ROM it was! I also try many of those I can find on XDA.
Here's what happens :
Had formatted data,cache, and system. Then, flashed the ROM, and selected "reboot". Just after that, I was making coffee.. So, I came back 5 min after, and the phone was .. dead!
After many, many, many Captivate's ROM flashes (maybe 70 !?), first time it happends!
The phone is no more under warranty, so I can't do anything..
Btw, what is a "jig" ? Heard alot that word but..
And thanks for the thread, but I don't think there's a solution in it!?
I will browse it tomorrow, thanks
Thanks again for help!
JIG youtube video
^ "Btw, what is a "jig" ? Heard alot that word but.."
Here ya go....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
The jig is usually the last resort for some. That is if holding volume up and volume down then plugging in the usb cable into your phone ( the other end being already plugged into your computer) does not put it into download mode.

U can either buy a jig from someone like mobiletechvideos on YouTube or make one urself using resistors (tutorials are scattered around the forum). U plug it into ur micro USB slot and it will put ur phone onto download mode. This works if ur phone is soft bricked and it may not work for u but definitely worth a try
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Sounds like you flashed a single bootloader and hard bricked your phone. Either jtag it or buy a new one...
JIG2WIN4LIFE if you can still turn on your phone without a perma black screen anyways
Hi,
I took a look over "JIG" on eBay, and found it for approx. 8 $.
But it says it can be used for ALL cases, at the exception if the screen stays black ! And that's my case..
So, do I have to buy it anyway, or is it really dead?
I don't want to buy another one!
Thank you.
sometimes the jig works, if you take out battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS, put in jig. worked for me.
BUT your phone is under 1 year old. it has a warranty. if it happens to get broken in a way that they cant tell, and can never read the phone again... you get a [email protected]!!!
think speaker magnet or
2 seconds in the microwave 1 or 2 times MAX.. dont want phisical dammage! and there is plenty of electronic parts to get messed up very easy this way

Wow, nuking it will cover your tracks if they try to access anything on it?
if it is electrically damaged and wont work, they cant access it, and they cant see your tracks...
and my buddy nuked a phone before, to destroy it for fun, there were sparks immediatly. if that happens the phone aint going to work anymore. so do it in very short bursts. you do not want any physical damage.
or wave it in-front of a LARGE magnet to degause it until it doesnt boot anymore.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but my phone is no more under warranty..
There was no warranty when I bought it from USA (on eBay), and I'm living in Belgium! So, no way
I will have to try the JIG then.. I suppose it's my last chance
yup jig is your last chance..
now the other day i bricked and the jig wouldnt work either unitl I found a trick that helped my jig work. this worked FOR ME in my situation. not all.
remove battery count to 5 and replace battery
DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS
put in jig. download mode!!!!
if i touched ANY button the jig would not work. worth a shot.
jigs are about 8$ on ebay or can be made with a few resistors for a couple dollars. (or whatever currency you have in Belgium). there are many threads on how to make them in the captivate forums on xda here. just make sure not to touch the resistors with your fingers if you make one. use tape to hold it.!! good luck buddy!
Thanks a lot!
I will buy a JIG on eBay then.. It would be safer!
We are using Euro currency in Belgium . So, a JIG is approximately 6 €.
It's a cheap price for this kind of tool! But by the way, HTC has much more solutions to unbrick their devices..
testing this device :
http://en.001phone.cn/product-no-1-m2-rugged-phone-98.html
MTK6582,1.3GHz,android 4.4.4 (update to lollipop will come), ROM 8GB, RAM 1GB, Screen 4.5" qHD 960*540, declared as IP68, support 3G not lte, street price more o less 100 $.
Some issues with storage : only 1 gb disposable for apps. It can easily be rooted with iroot (success at first attempt). Then you can use link2sd.
For the moment very satisfied by the device,of course evaluating performances you should always consider that this is a rugged phone, at the same price it is possible to buy an octa core with 2 gb of ram not ip 68.
cannot confirm,,,,
Bought the phone...looks nice....very fluid.....for 100 euros looks great....oh well only one GB for apps...fixed it with link2sd.....
yet.....disassembled it .....to give a look....it may be "rugged"...but it is poorly built....component are not properly fixe and one cable just detached from some jumper....still have to re-weld it....
by the way.....anybody would help me with a pic ...to understand where to fix the cable..!?
thanks a lot!
Maybe if you take a picture I can download the picture, mark the spot and send it back to you? Also looks legit for the price tho, ( 93,99$ ) Could be sold for more I guess....
take a look...
here it is, hope is clear.
There is this short red cable....don't know where it was fixed....be careful if u ì're going to open!
...and....

Oh well...another issue....the usb plug is longer than usual , in order to make it fit the rugged case........was it that difficult to adapt a standard one..1?!?!?! so you will have to adapt your old usb cables by sharpening the plug......mmmm...it was not such a deal......

lollipop
Found on this site the link for a lollipop rom :
http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-lollipop-5-0-firmware-for-no-1-m2-smartphone.html
still have not tested it, but in the rar file I've found the driver, flashing tool and new firmware, so it looks affordable. I would like to know where the linked site found it in order to find some information before flashing.
Where does that cable belong?
My phone will only boot to logo when charging and says minimal battery, when it was around 70% last time it functioned. I found someone said they flicked the switch that this short cable is attached to and it solved it. Would be very appreciative of a reply, I've only had it two weeks.

It happened the same to me, then I disassembled the phone and realized the short red cable was detached.
I just found the switch....(what is that for!??!) but still the red cable remains free on the other end and I don't know where to attach it.

Hi, i have a problem with my new No. 1 m2 rugged smartphone.
I have it for 2 days now, and my battery drained, now it won't turn on even with charger, i've charged it for one hour, maybe a bit more, and still nothing happens.
Any tips are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
I got this phone from my brother, he was tired of it. Looked at their website and found a firmware to it from nov 07 2015, works alright and i managed to root it with kingroot (not kingoroot). but still havent found any good way to get a cwm or twrp.
Hi, y get my phone yesterday, use a lot of time and keep all night charge.
Today the phone is unresponsive, don't turn on
Any ideas?
