Wait for a bit for the battery to settle down, and try turning the device on. If it turns on and you get stuck on ROM version splash, switch it to boot mode (soft-reset while holding Camera). Once in boot mode, power button will work to turn the device off. Hook the device up to a wall charger (not USB cable) and it will charge up, effectively un-bricking. Allow it to charge up to 100% before any flash attempt.
The point here is that a device does not charge up while in ROM version splash or in boot mode, but only in boot mode does the power button work to turn it off (at least in my device).

Download the latest, full ROM from your device manufacturer, and re-flash it while in boot mode (might not work under Vista or Server 2003, use Windows XP/ActiveSync 4.5 to flash).
Hard-reset the device, and once asked, press Send key to reformat FAT partition. You might get the dreaded "Format is failed" error message. The only way out of this is backing up and restoring from a miniSD card, which includes an additional BINFS formatting step, not present when flashing from boot. For a complete procedure, see:

You probably don't need to charge the battery. If it is at the rainbow screen (RGB) and you get the word USB in the bottom left corner when you connect it to the computer, you are good to go to reflash your manufacturer ROM. Once you get a good flash of your manufacturer, you will be able to recharge your battery and will probably notice that you are still about 80%. I tried to flash 6 times and was still at 83%. Stay cool and put an official ROM back on and you will be back in business.

No, PC-USB cable charging did not work for my Cingular 8125. I had it power-bricked as well, and powering it off with the power button and hooking it up to a wall charger was able to charge it back up. The only other way is to take your battery to a friend, a Radio Shack or a Circuit City, and ask the guys to charge it for you.

Hold left-side upper Comms button + right-side upper Voice button and press-in the right-side middle soft-reset spot with a stylus. Keep holding the keys and after a reset your device will ask you to press in the Send key (the key used to answer an incoming call) to FAT format. Hold Send and release Comms + Voice and off you are.
For more information, Read The Fine Manual, it's described in detail all over the place.

Yes, a wall charger USB cable, not a PC-USB cable. PC-USB cable did not work for me for some reason.

No, as mentioned above, your device might not charge while in ROM version splash, or in boot-mode. ROM version splash and boot-mode RGB are two different things. If you are in ROM version splash (IPL/SPL/ROM/OS versions displayed with cellular operator logo), hold down Camera key and and press-in the right-side soft-reset spot with a stylus to switch it to the red-green-blue boot-mode. Once in red-green-blue boot-mode, press the power button to power off the device (it does not power off in splash, but powers off in boot). If it is powered off, and hooked up to a wall charger, the orange light will come on, indicating charging. Once it turns back to green, you are all set to re-flash.
You probably do want to fully re-charge your device before re-flashing, because if it dies in the middle of a flash, or in the middle of a miniSD card restore, you're back to square one.

No siree Bob. That's not what's gonna help you.
You need to get into the bootloader screen (tri-color screen). To do this, you need to press and hold the camera button and just tap and release the reset button (while still holding in the camera button). Now you're at the tri-color screen (you can release the camera button now).
Now, connect the USB cable to your computer that has Activesync installed. Now, just download and install your original carrier ROM to the phone as you would normally do. That's it!
Magically you will have a working phone again.

I had the same problem of the battery not charging from the 3 colour boot screen. Your phone is definately recoverable but first you need to get a fully charged battery. the only way i could find to do this was to buy a new battery from ebay that came with a free desktop charger. It was about £10 i think. A small price to pay for recovering your wizard mate.

Not necessarily. My understanding is that for a flashed OS to boot, it needs a FAT partition, just like a desktop OS. A FAT partition lives inside a BINFS storage system. If a device gets stuck in the ROM version splash screen (operator logo and multiple version numbers) your OS installation might be fine, but it cannot access its expected file system, and - just like a desktop OS - just hangs. To see if that is the case, do the hard-reset + Send procedure I describe again below. If this *is* a BINFS problem, you will get the "Format is failed" error message.
Is that what's happening with your device?
If so, re-flashing a ROM does NOT fix that problem, since flashing a ROM does nothing to re-initialize BINFS, allowing later FAT partition format. Yes, I agree it is pretty dumb of HTC not to include such an important step in a complete flash or a hard-reset, but that's just how things are. BINFS initialization, however, *is* a part of a miniSD card backup and restore process. Buy a cheap, $10 miniSD card (I used 256MB), and follow the procedure in the link I posted earlier.

You are probably letting go of Comms + Voice keys too early, effectively getting into a soft-reset instead of hard-reset. Keep holding those two keys, "do not let go" (to use the "Titanic" line ), and press in the reset spot with a stylus. Keep holding the keys. Screen will turn black and sit there for a while. Keep holding the keys. The device will turn back on, and a message should come up asking you whether you want to go back to factory settings. Keep holding Commns + Voice, hold down Send (green phone icon), and THEN let go of Comms + Voice. A FAT format should commence.

NBD 7.9 & Boot problem

Hi,
I have installed ~2 weeks ago NBD 7.9 and everything was ok. Today I have restarted my phone to change my SIM card but my phone could not start.
I see HTC logo but phone freezes after having NBD logo and nothing happens.
As you can image because of could not connecting to the phone, I can not also update ROM.
Any tip to recover my phone?

Did you try a hard-reset?

Can you explain what exactly you mean? Probably I do not know what is hard reset on these devices.

Ok I have found hard reset on the page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WizardFAQ
But now there is no power also. I also could not boot anymore.

* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
----
oh I see, you found it.
the hard reset set your phone to the "original state" of the ROM (in that case right after you installed your NDB rom).
what do you mean there is no power?
Could it be your battery is empty and needs to re-charged?

There is no response on the phone now.
I suspect battery is empty but when I try to connect power cord no response also.

If you are sure your battery is not empty try to get into the bootloader mode:
depending on the type (G3 or G4) follow the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
especially step G3.2 or G4.2 respectively.

When I tried to connect to power while the phone is off it takes some seconds before response. Have try.

I have a G3 device (Vodafone VPA II Compact). But there is still no response.
I think it is power issue now. The bad thing is that I have only USB cable at home and the main power charger at work now.
Are there any way to charge with USB cable when phone is not open?

I would suggest following:
1. ensure your battery is full
2. do the hard-reset again - this may solve your problem already
3. if not, try to get into the bootloader mode (see the thread referred to above for instructions)
4. follow the instructions to re-load the ROM

I just tried ... while your phone is off the USB connection to the PC should provide you the current .. at my case the WIZARD starts to charge .. have a try.
----------------
the red LED light on the right above the display indicates the charging .. and turns green once it is fully charged, so in any case, you should see a light, although it takes 3-5 seconds after connecting to the USB.
Does it work?

I have tried and there is no light. As I remember before it was not possible if you are not connected via ActiveSync.
Anyway, I can try Monday at office.
Thanks for your help!!!

You're welcome. Good luck for Monday. Hope it will work out. Not much help yet from me but I will be around here.

This was driving me mad as well. I had to put it into bootloader mode (holding camera while resetting) and flash back to the Tmob 2.26 and then reflashing nbd.
The trick is to disable the HTC home plugin before you install any other apps. From what I understand its to do with some mysterious dlls.
I found this out on Friday and so far I haven't had any problems but I guess its still early days.
Good luck!

OK. It was a power issue and I could make a hard reset at office and it works again now.
I will try NBD 8.1 and see the difference.
Thanks for your help a lot!

good to hear it is working again!

how can you hard reset?
do you really know how to?
if it still can turn on, will be recoverable...

PROPER INSTRUCTION
1. Press POWER button to off unit (if unit is ON)
2. Press CAMERA and COMM buttons simultaneously
3. While holding down CAMERA and COMM buttons, use stylus to poke the RESET button at bottom of unit.
4. Release pressing of the RESET button, and continue to hold on to CAMERA and COMM buttons until message appear on the screen asking you to press the SEND (green phone button) to continue.
thats right ?
will be recoverable ?....Oh My God..
it's really can't do anything else ?
because my prophet still can not show the light charger..still DEAD

you are right, those step are very precise
so, can successfully hard reset?
PS. if the battery is not flat, please don't plug the power cable at the beginning.......
plug later when the device goes fine ( sometimes the device won't continue to boot if the power cable was plugged...

not successfully with hard reset..the prophet just blank screen...nothing else.
i try connect my prophet to pc its not detect...
how can i know the device goes fine?
for your information..if i try charge the batery (with no RED LED indicator) for may be 2 hour and then i unplug the charger...after that i try remove the batery the device show the white screen for a second like blitz...just like that.
i try insert he batery againt and doing hard reset still nothing...i plug the charger still light off...hiks...hiks...

R.I.P Dopot 818 Pro
I also have the same problem. First time I was interested with the upgrading proses by looking around the forum. They said noting would be wrong, nice display, try it. But actually the upgrading process to wm6 or wm6.1 are not stable. My Dopot 818 Pro also are now dead coursing by the upgrading from wm5 to wm6. Before upgrading I've asking around, many of the expert said do not upgrade, its not stable, but I just would listen and done the upgrading proses and that was the last time I saw my prophet functioning and its dead now..
I using a very simple basic Nokia phone now & I happy about it, I will not do the unstable upgrading again in the future..

I have the same problem, but don´t have solution :-(
I am finding the solution as well.

[Q] Totally bricked Kaiser!

Hi XDA-devs!
I've been going through this forum for quite a while now, but sadly I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem
I got a Kaiser 130 which isn't performing very well, actually it isn't performing at all.
Here is the problem:
Fully charged battery (not the problem)
I go push the powerbutton
Green light comes on and no more than that.
What I've tried so far:
Pulled the battery
Pulled the battery and pressed Power for more than 30 seconds.
Pushed the reset button while on (Turns out the green light)
Reset + Cam + Power (Turns it on again)
Power + Softkeys (Turns out the green light)
All sorts of battery dismounting and mounting, which suddenly gave a blink of a red light for a change.
Well this can be fixed! (initial thought)
BUT
I am unable to make the device do anything at all when it comes to USB connections in the way that the device gives no indication to Windows or Linux at all, so how am I supposed to get through to the device with frankenkaiser, MTTY or anything else?
It gives no indication to Active Sync, Windows Mobile Device Center or "The upgrade to WM6.1" HTC program.
The USB-connection is just not working!
The phone looks perfect and has never been used, but has been bricked for more than 2 years before I got my hands on it. It comes from an institution and was never used because it didn't work, so no damage has occoured.
It holds the original rom and has never been modded or anything.
So is this device simply out of my reach or am I missing something?

Hi XDA-devs!
I've been going through this forum for quite a while now, but sadly I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem
I got a Kaiser 130 which isn't performing very well, actually it isn't performing at all.
Here is the problem:
Fully charged battery (not the problem)
I go push the powerbutton
Green light comes on and no more than that.
What I've tried so far:
Pulled the battery
Pulled the battery and pressed Power for more than 30 seconds.
Pushed the reset button while on (Turns out the green light)
Reset + Cam + Power (Turns it on again)
Power + Softkeys (Turns out the green light)
All sorts of battery dismounting and mounting, which suddenly gave a blink of a red light for a change.
Well this can be fixed! (initial thought)
BUT
I am unable to make the device do anything at all when it comes to USB connections in the way that the device gives no indication to Windows or Linux at all, so how am I supposed to get through to the device with frankenkaiser, MTTY or anything else?
It gives no indication to Active Sync, Windows Mobile Device Center or "The upgrade to WM6.1" HTC program.

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
