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..
plz help, can i try 1-5 pins solution?

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.

E650 Help Need Broken I Think :(

Hello all! hopeing someone can help my fix my poor e650, the battery went flat overnight went to charge it and no orrange light tryed to turn it on it goes to the orrange flash screen vibrates and turns back off!!
Iv tryed a hard reset but nothink still getting the same! it still wont change! the laptop wont see it eaither as im guessing cos its not turnt on
please please plase hoping someone can help

Take out the battery and plug it in. The orange LED should be on for a couple of seconds, if that doesn't happen, then the device might be broken (use you warranty...)!

Samsung i780 - BRICKED IT :( :( :(

I've BRICKED my device
All of a sudden, when the device was connected to the charger and was in standby, I tried to power it up....and it wouldnt turn on. I pulled the charger cable out....the LED was still glowing. I pulled the battery and put it back in.....and that was it. Completely dead....no response
Plugging in the power, switching batteries (fully charged), pressing all buttons, hard reset/emergency mode key combos, punching the reset hole a million times, pulling the batteries in/out with the charger in/out....all sorts of crap tried. Even the power LED doesn't glow when the charger is connected. NO sign of life from the PDA in ANY form. Completely dead = paper weight. Also tried holding the power button for over a minute or two...nothing happens. Also tried using Mirage and pluggin it in....doesn't detect anything.
Now I need some help guys -
1. My i780 is just 2 weeks old. Will my warranty be void if Samsung finds some other rom? If so, how do they process this? Can they fix and I pay for support?
2. If the device doesn't power up, they anyway cant figure what rom's in there...so i should technically qualify for a replacement....am i right?
3. Anyone here have bricked and dealt with samsung service? your experience?
4. Any other ideas on what i could do to unbrick?
Thanks....sucks guys

Shame to hear that
Have you tried to ask in off topic in thread regardnig samsung?
Good luck,

Hey orb!
I guess mine's a total brick here....looks more like a hardware failure. I plug the charger in, the LED doesn't glow....nothing happens no matter what i do. Its just a dead chunk of plastic at the moment. Guess its going back to the service center.
You'll be happy about this though.......i'm back on my trusty universal once again! It still is simply the best device out there! Only gripe is that it runs on just 64megs ram.
Cheers

is that able to flash rom or enter emergency mode ?
i guess may be rom problem ,
i780 propably will like this if you are using the oldest rom ~

Hope to see you around Uni forum!

[Q] water damaged sensation

ok so the orange charge light comes on when i plug the phone. it vibrates when i turn on but no lights no screen. and when i plug it into the computer the computer recognizes the phone. but askes me to reformat the disk and i cant get into anything on the phone. is it software related issue or hard ware issue? also is the phone salvageable? and if its a software issue how would i go about reinstalling all the software?

How did you fix the water issue?
How long did you leave the phone after fixing it before turning it on?
Is the battery fully charged?
Have you rooted the phone?
Have you tried a factory reset?

phone is fully charged.
not sure if the water damage is fixed or not.
not rooted
screen is black no lights. and no lights on the home, back, search, or setting buttons.
no factory reset as i cant access anything on the phone.
i let the phone dry for 2 days before i turned it back on. and it has a black screen ever since. vibrates once when it trys to power up. and than nothing. orange lights when i plug it in and its charging. green light when its fully charged. my computer recognized its there when i plug it in but wont let me do anything with it.
but cant i push the software threw adb or anything like that?

Exactly the same issue... did you figure a way to solve it?
I have IPA soaked the phone and it is now in a rice containing sealed chamber for 24hrs... at 37 degrees C... I was wondering if it could be software related.
I have rooted the phone and it was running ARHD with a faux kernal. Could it have just screwed up the memory and blanked the software?

Left my phone charging and now it wont turn on

I left my phone charging and when I came back it was hot and wouldn't turn on.
Got to mention , when I put the charger back in it starts getting hot ..
I tried hard reseting it but it won't work..
What can I do?

Broken cable/USB-port/charger could makes broken motherboard for example... But can be also broken just battery. There were cases.

so your phone is "dead" now? don't boot?

Da.
Anyone else? Any idea?

try another charger... if not, can be USB port or motherboard. i don't think is battery.
