http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525543 for more information on how you can probably save it... that is if you are able to get the boot screen (3 colours) by holding the camera button, then pressing the power on button... goodluck!

anybody help me ?

Is the battery OK (3,6-4,2 V on the outer pins)?
Does the charging of the battery still work?
- via AC plug or
- via USB (PC on)
If not: Could still be broken connector on the PCB, but this is very rare as the construction is really solid there. To check, have the AC or USB (PC on) cable connected and bend it upwards a little in the socket, hold for 5 seconds to see if the charging LED goes on.
If also this does not give any sign of life, so neither any LED nor the bootloader are visible at anytime - then the S710 has passed away, may it rest in peace :-( Possibly sell it for organ transplant at ebay, just tell honestly there what works and what does not.

battery its ok

the charging of the battery still work AC plug USB PC on ok

Not so much strategy visible yet to rule out all options, several failures are possible - please comment all sections:
1. SIM cover switch defective/considered "open":
After switching on, the green LED goes on - then off again, no LCD visible. No further signs of life (see also 2.). Close and open the SIM cover a few times, try inserting a SIM and close door, try to switch on again. Usually only happens if you disassembled the device.
2. LCD defective / disconnected upper half of device:
After switching on, the green LED goes on - then off again, no LCD visible (just like above). To check if the device is on, but you just can't see it, connect it to a Windows PC with Active Sync and see if the PC connects. USB connections at AS must be enabled. This error comes sometimes after disassembly, but also when devices are just heavily used in slide-out mode.
3. Flash of a cooked ROM failed:
The device will boot into Bootloader (3 color screen) automatically. You can force this by: switch off device, hold down (and keep holding) the camera switch while connecting power (AC or USB). The orange LED will shortly light up and go off again - the 3-color screen should be there. To check if you are connected via USB, use terraterm pro or another USB capable Terminal program (disable USB connect in Active Sync before) and press enter. If you see the CMD> prompt - bootloader is alive.

sprint touch pro 2 bricked??????????

help me please i have a unlocked sprint touch pro 2 i flashed a gps rom fix
and now my phone wont turn on i tryed a hard reset and nothing

you see anything on the screen at all?

Tell something moore, what's happening when you try to turn it on, or when you plug usb cable, did you flash HardSpl first?

yea nothing completely dead charge light comes on thats it. its unlocked and have energy rom on it i think i flashed a gsm gps fix and bam bricked.

Easy fix
I did this on Wednesday (flashed the wrong type of ROM onto my Verizon phone).
After a little panic, I found the solution. Take the battery out of the phone, put it back in, and hold down "Volume Down" and "End" (power on) at the same time. The phone boots to its "bootloader" - a screen with two or three color backgrounds that looks sort of like an old school bios screen.
From there, you can connect the USB cable to your PC, and load an appropriate ROM (I used MightyRom because I had trouble finding the EnergyROM for Verizon).

Did you get this figured out?
Did you get this figured out?

Here is how I UN-bricked my Sprint phone..
By the way...I got this from some one else at this site. It worked (sorry I can't give the proper credit who wrote it first)
Copy the file "RHODIMG.nbh" to a memory stick formated at fat32, put it in the phone. (it should be in the directory where your initial ROM install file is on you Windows computer)
1. Phone off (pull the battery)
2. Pressed the power and Volume Down button simultaneously
3. Power on while doing step 2 (I inserted the battery and then did this step)
4. Load ROM by pressing power again
5. Note bootup will be extremely slow, wait for red text, then wait even longer for GUI
6. I waited on screen for a couple of minutes (at least)

[Q] Desire S almost dead, only black screen

This Desire S is almost dead, and the screen is permanently black - it cannot even boot to the HTC screen.
I can only find 4 visible states for the device: (1) off (only after battery removed and replaced); (2) when power button pressed from state (1) LED off, vibrator immediately buzzes 7 times at about 0.5 sec intervals, then nothing else, cannot switch off; (3) when plugged into USB or mains charger from state (1) LED on, otherwise identical to state (2) and LED remains on after unplugged; (4) after states (2) or (3) screen remains blank, nothing happens, cannot be turned off (LED either permanently on or permanently off).
History: the phone is visually in excellent condition, but the previous owner wanted to install ICS. To this end he downloaded and tried to install RUU:
RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed.exe
and in the middle it froze. After 30 minutes he pulled out the battery, giving rise to the state it is in now. (I naively imagined I could easily re-flash it, until I read about the eMMC hardware problems of the Desire S after pulling out the battery).
It seems almost totally dead, but the only cause for doubt is that it has the three different states above after turning on - obviously stuck in a loop, presumably the early stages of the bootloader. However it is not recognised by adb or fastboot through USB, nor by the RUU installer, nor by the Unrevoked installer. I also tried copying hboot.img (0.98.0000) or PG88IMG.zip (Eng Hboot for AlphaRevX) to the root of an SD card, and that had no discernible result.
Once turned on, up-vol + down-vol + power has no effect at any time. There is no difference visible between turning on from state (1) with power alone or with vol-down + power. The battery is 3.77 volts, and does not charge when plugged in for a few hours (reduced from 3.83 volts earlier).
Can a zapped eMMC have this effect, or would it then reach the HTC screen?
Sounds pretty hopeless, doesn't it? Is there any stone I have left unturned?

I think that with fried emmc phone should stay on white htc screen, your problem looks like corrupted bootloader and this can be fixed AFAIK only by JTAG

Is the bootloader also stored in the eMMC chip or in another chip? From the available description the upgrade is supposed to have frozen in the middle, so I'd have thought the bootloader should already have been written by that time. I agree with you that the symptoms look like a corrupted bootloader, but if the corrupted bootloader was caused by pulling the battery then it seems to me the hardware the bootloader is on (whether eMMC or another chip) must come into question.

There is more than one bootloader in the system. The simplest system includes 2 of those - primary (PBL) and secondary (SBL).
HBOOT is secondary bootloader and resides on eMMC.

Aha!! And is it possible to reprogram the primary bootloader to load an hboot from SD card? Is the secondary bootloader required for reprogramming the primary bootloader? What about the programming from the root of the SD card (PG88IMG.zip etc) - is that initiated from hboot or from the primary boot loader? (I'm afraid I already suspect the answer to that one, as the PBL will be as short and sweet as possible - that's why we don't hear much about the PBL!)

Same problem
You have the same problem as I do, but i did not do anything to it, I just woke up and my phone was dead. (Heart attack :silly The only sign of life what I see is if I plug-in the cable AC or PC and after that I plug-in the battery, the orange led show up for about 5 seconds, thats it.
I found a flasher you could use, they say that this program works even if your phone is dead over usb, but only if you are S-Off, you should try it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638

I downloaded it and tried to run it. On my main computer (XP) it would not run, because it required DotNet 4 (which I cannot install on this machine). I tried running it on a Windows 7 machine, and it said: "AndroidFlasher does not work any longer. A problem has stopped the proper running of this program." I tried switching off firewall, but that had no effect.

Power died on SMP-900, now having problems with apps, Lineage OS and TWRP

Back story:
My beloved tablet ran down on power as I was using it today (note to self - change warning percentage from 5% to something like 15%)! I tried shutting it down, but it died before the shutdown was finished. I put it on the charger and let it charge until about 65%, took it off the charger, powered it up. It started coming up, got to the the PIN screen, then nothing. Couldn't do anything, touch screen wasn't doing acknowledging anything. I think things got corrupted as it was powering off...
Powered it down, waited a few minutes, then powered back up. Took about 10 minutes to start after I entered my PIN, and it was behaving strangely:
1. WiFi said it was off, but I was getting e-mails (sent one to myself from another device to confirm it)
2. Settings would start, but got nothing, just a white screen.
3. Most apps would start but really slow, then suddenly shut down
4. Tried booting into TWRP 3.1.1 - got the initial screen, there it sat for the next 20 minutes before I rebooted.
5. I can get into bootloader, but fastboot from my Linux laptop doesn't work - can't find any devices when the tablet is plugged in.
6. "adb devices -l " shows the tablet is connected, but get no prompt on the tablet screen about adb starting
6. "adb reboot bootloader" and "adb reboot recovery" from my laptop just sits there - nothing happens on the tablet.
I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 (latest weekly for the SMP-900) and TWRP 3.1.1 on the tablet, and Fedora 25 on the laptop. Rebooting is iffy - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't and just sits on the Lineage boot animation. I also have my 128Gb SD card set up as part of the internal memory (i.e., can't pull it and stick it into another device) Every reboot takes longer, and I fear the next power on will have me just sitting there, staring at the Lineage boot screen forever.
I have Nandroids from TWRP, but doesn't do me much good if I can't get into TWRP to use them. I have TWRP image and tar files, but jodin (a Java based Odin type of program that works in Linux) doesn't get a response from the tablet and therefore won't flash.
If I could get the tablet back to the point where I can get TWRP working again, I can reload from the TWRP backup. I also don't have a Windows computer available at all, but I do have Windows XP in a VMware virtual machine as an absolute last resort on my laptop.
Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to get me running again? Right now, it's powered off and charging...
Thanks for any help....

Patience, patience, patience ...
I'm answering this myself - just so there is an answer.
If you ever run into this problem, read the heading above! I got the tablet to boot up finally by pulling the 128 Gb SD card first, then powering up the tablet. I plugged in the SD card back in and it started slowing down, but checking under Storage, it indicated it was checking the encrypted card. I set it aside, checked it 2 hours later - still checking the card. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed, got up this morning and it was shut off. Powered it up, it booted up, this time around it recognized the encrypted card as part of internal storage and Life is good again.
My assumption is that when the tablet died, the card was marked dirty (I.e., not shut down properly.) When I tried TWRP, it noticed that the card was flagged dirty and started checking it before it would give me the home screen - same thing with Lineage when it tried to boot. And yes, I changed the battery power warning to 15%.

Thanks for your update on that problem.

Issue with Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL

Hello all
just before i get started i did have a thread here regarding this issue before but sadly unable to find it now so seems i need to start over....
this is more of an update on what has been done so far but will just give detail about the issue from start
when this phone came to me it was not functioning i have no clue to what the wife done to it.... it appears that it may not be charging and something is stopping it from charging..... the charging indicator is on (( orange )) and the battery will display on screen with a lightening bolt in the center.... if i plug into laptop the laptop will sound off the USB connection and disconnection alert will do that 3 or 4 times
pressing power button will make phone vibrate and will display a battery with the lightening bolt assuming that means battery is flat as a pancake
holding volume up and power button brings me into the recovery option total of 3 options show 1) normal 2) fastboot 3) recovery whatever i select say for example recovery it will display the Asus and powered by Android this will last for about 3 to 5 seconds before going off again
so that is the state of the phone as of now and even after other things i have done as i will mention
in the past i have come across 2 phones with the very same issue the first one i flashed my self that phone only shown a charging indicator light but i found the flash tool and rom from the Alcatel website and it fixed the issue so assuming the same would apply with this Asus also the other phone i had with same issue was fixed with a flash
so here is what i have done so far using SP flash tools and following instructions from different places i have successfully flashed over the Stock Rom done it under download only also format + download and even tried firmware upgrade but i am still stuck with the same thing as mentioned above
obviously after flashing the phone it needs to power up to complete the setup process but as is clear i cannot do that if the battery has little to no juice
so what i am looking for is a solution to getting the phone to charge again or a way to charge the battery by other means (( bare in mind this phone has built in battery )) (( battery has been replaced new ))
what could be causing the phone to not charge or at least give battery the power it needs i ask because i do believe the phone is giving the battery some power but very little..... the way i look at this situation is like installing a sound card on a PC but not installing the driver the PC knows the sound card is there but cannot work without the driver same seems to apply with the phone
if i disconnect the battery from the main board the laptop will not pick up the phone even if i press down on the volume down button as i do when using SP flash and the orange charge light flashes so i don't see the issue being with mainboard but more likely a software glitch maybe the MTK chip is not doing its job properly or maybe it thinks the battery has full charge and stops the charger from adding more juice when in fact battery is flat
so can anyone enlighten me to what could be the problem and a solution
thanks in advance
