So far you are the only person with this problem so we are running through the basics.
Did you get any errors or messages during the update? Did the phone run out of battery mid update? Did anything odd or unusual happen?
quick question in while in the topic, had he done a FULL nandroid backup and was able to atleast get to boot screen would he be able to restore his phone? just a quick questions because to this day i have no idea how the nandroid thing works i cant do it on my x64 vista either and dont see how it comes in handy lol. Sorry just trying to fig it out.
after i tried to install the radio update it showed some sort of chip with an arrow and then it froze for over 10 mins so i ended up taking out the battery
@zgjbeta Yes. If you can get to the blinkin android screen, your not really bricked. Nandroid would fix it right up.
If it wont even turn on, like your case. I dono what to tell you.
For starters, try to connect it to a wall outlet to make sure its not the battery.
Also tell us exactly what happened during the update process.
EDIT: I read your most recent post. That's strange because everyone gets the chip thing, you shouldve tried home + back or menu + green + red.
One of those wouldve most likely worked.
Good luck.
Also maybe try to take it out again and put it back in.
I had the chip and arrow after the radio update, I didn't take the battery out, started pressing random keys, lol... and then it went away and booted back to a JF recovery style screen. Pressed home + back and it rebooted to a stuck flashing android. Then did call+menu+end to reboot and it has worked fine ever since.
There is definitely something whacky going on...
yes i tried to do the home key plus end and camera plus end options while in that chip state but didnt do anything so i resolve to take out the battery and it wont turn on again. i also tried all the button reset combo nothing happens
If it wont even turn then there is really nothing that can be done. Another thing I would try is if you know someone else with a G1 try their battery.

Also try cleaning the battery contacts in the phone and on the battery. This happened to one of my dumbphones once - cleaned out the battery contacts and it worked again. Bizzare situation, simple solutions first.
You might've turned it off while it was writing a vital file. Thus your phone might be bricked.
Here's an idea - sent it back to T-Mobile/HTC - and I don't think they will notice you violated your warranty until it's too late (they have to fix your phone to find out) so you could just refuse to pay and have them send it back to you.
I too saw the chip with the arrow thing, so that makes 3 people in this thread. It happened when I did the radio update. Anyway, in my case, I held down the recovery mode keys for a while and it went to the menu. Then I just rebooted and everything was great. Glad I didn't take out the battery (I considered it).
I had the chip and just waited and it took care of itself. Just be patient people.
plug in the wall charger, wait 10 seconds, then hold the red power button for 3-5 seconds then release, it should turn on
i tried that didnt work anymore advice?
also is there any way to run diagnostics of this phone to pc to make it work?
If the phone won't turn on, go back to the T-Mobile store and ***** em out. Not much else to say if we can't even get power to it.
Yesterday, my brother was updating Android OTA on his HTC Desire S. During the installation, he got impatient and wanted to abort the update. Because he couldn't find a cancel button, he decided to remove the battery. This indeed aborted the update but left him with a phone without a properly installed OS.
The phone doesn't boot up anymore. In fact, it doesn't respond at all. Not even if I try a hard reset (volume down + power button).
Is there something left to try?
Oops Not the wisest course of action by your bro there.
Am I correct in assuming that you mean from a powered-off state, holding the Vol- key and pressing the power button doesn't do anything?
If you connect the phone to the mains charger, do you get the charging light appear on the phone still?
I guess the biggest question here would be - was this an unmodified phone (i.e. not been 'S-Offed', rooted etc? If so then you may find the best course of action is to return it for official repair - if he's not had it very long then take it back to the shop he bought it from, otherwise go through the Mobile Phone Network's helpline for it to be repaired. Just tell them that it was doing an OTA and failed - don't mention getting impatient though.

No, it doesn't respond to the charger or the USB cable.

Here's the catch, he got the phone second-hand from a friend abroad who had it lying around. Therefore, going back to the shop isn't really an option.
I guess he permanently bricked his phone then?
I would suspect that, if it's not even responding to a mains charger, that it is toast - but maybe somebody can correct me on this?
Hi, Let me first off say I have looked through the forums and couldn't find someone who has a similar problem...I own a Nexus S 4G from Sprint and I was running an ICS rom on it. Yesterday, the power button stopped working (acts as if it is always being pressed. I take the battery out and put it back it and it turns on automatically). I can get it into fast boot but once I do, the volume keys don't work and the power button still doesn't work. I tried UNROOTING it with this, http://theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s/ , got half way through and realized it was for the Nexus S. I know stupid mistake. But now I can't download ROM manager let alone any app. I can't exchange files from my phone to my computer and vise versa. I have No 3g signal (It's on Airplane mode and I tried turning it off but it wont turn off at all) . Power button STILL doesn't work and it's just a piece of crap right now. PLEASE HELP restore it back to original out of the box, unrooted, stock. Is it just a sitting duck and will I have to buy a new phone? Please help.
I have tried these to unroot my phone with little success.

My phone was running on stock 2.2 Froyo ROM. I first flashed it with CM7 Alpha 8 which is under development. It has some issues so flashed it with Kyrillos ROM based on 2.3. Was still not satisfied so tried going back to stock. downloaded the firmware from Samfirmware.com and started flashing with ODIN 1.81. After the downloading part, the phone switched off and never started. I think i might have flashed the bootloader which i shouldnt have and so my phone is not starting. On pressing power, Powe +home+down or Up button, nothing happens.No lights, no display, no sound.
What all things i have tried:
1. Tried charging the battery for 8 hours and then pressing power button. No go.
2. Power + home + volume down. No go
3. Power + Home + volume up. No go
4. connected the phone to usb without battery. while holding power + home + volume down key, reinsterted the battery. phone does not get detected on computer/odin.
I am pretty sure its a hard brick. If i give it to samsung, they will charge a bomb for motherboard replacement. I need to find a shop in mumbai with JTAG (its a device which can put the bootloader directly on to the processor). After some research i found this address:
Wonder Gallery
Manish Market, 1st Floor,
Shop Number No.27, Palton Road,
Mumbai 40001
Does anyone live or work nearby and can give me this guy's number? i want to confirm before i make a trip (i stay 100 Kms from mumbai). Anybody is vashi does a similar job?
Actually boot loader is a very small file and if flashing is completed then it might not be a brick. Are you sure your battery is charged. I saw in Motorola forums that after a hard brick the device will switch on but show a white screen or something
Edit :Sorry I just saw that battery is not the problem
Anyways did Odin show whether flash was successful or not?

I think its a hard brick because files on samfirwire contain bootloaders and you hav messed it.
And as for JTAG,i think ebay or other similar websites should help.
And for the address call just dial,they might have the contact information of the person u mentioned.
Hope this helped
Sorry to break your hopes mate, but a massive fire had broken out at the place you mentioned a few months back. Although most of the restoration work has been done, still I highly doubt that the shops would be up and running so soon! Anyhow, just check with them once before planning your travel.

If you have a paypal account try ebay. Search for USB JIG. It may help you, give it a try. Its not expensive (about 3 pounds). If you are interested tell me to search a good one for you.

^Even I was searching for the same on eBay India some time back, but couldn't find a single one compatible with our device. All of them were for Galaxy S series devices.
So if am not asking for too much, could you kindly share the link over here (the 3 pound one)?

Tried it, not working
hard luck if hard bricked
if your phone is hard bricked.. jtaging may get you into download mode, but, there also chances that it might lose its imei number after jtaging... my suggestion would be sell it off for parts .. and buy a new one.. that will easier.. repairing it will just keep on losing your money for repairs..... just buy a new and cheaper one like samsung galaxy Y .... it less of a headache... besides android phones are getting cheaper now-a - days....

Does anyone know how to turn on the Nexus 5? Today I found the phone turned off automatically. The last time I used it was half hour before I found it was off. I know it had enough battery. I tried power on more than 10 sec. I tried power + both volume buttons, I tried power + one volume button. I tried charging it. None of them works. It just stopped working after worked for me for 4 months.I haven't rooted or installed other ROM. I didn't install to much Apps also. Before this trouble, the phone works perfectly. But now it doesn't give me any response without any reason.

As you tried holding the power button for about 10-20 seconds you can try to connect the phone to a charger to see if you see a charging animation. Can you get into bootloader (volume down and power)? Try charging the phone a little longer (1 hour or more). If nothing works all you can do is RMA or send it in for repair.

Only the original owner (your friend) can claim warranty and only in the country where the phone was bought. You`ll have to send it to the US. You can also send it to a local LG repair centre but you`ll have to pay for it yourself most likely.

I heart from my friend that the Nexus 5 have the charging problem. I realize that the day, before I my phone was dead, was the first time it ran out of the power. I mean one day before, I used the phone to 0% and then turned off automatically. But after that, I managed to charge it and turned on. And the second day the phone stopped working...
Does anyone have new idea to solve the problem?

You might also want to try turning it on underneath a bright light. For example, turn on a desk lamp, and point it right at the top of the phone while you try to turn it on.
I know that sounds like an odd suggestion, but it's worth a shot. People were having a similar issue with the HTC One, and it turned out to be because of a built-in pocket mode that tried to use the light sensor to prevent it from turning on in a pocket or bag. Sometimes, it would bug out and only work in the face of a really bright light. Obviously, it was most prevalent in the HTC One because that was built in, but it happens in other phones when you use apps that have a similar function, such as AcDisplay and such.

Hi gee2012,
I almost give up and plan to send to phone back to US. Now I find I can hear the current sound from the top part of the phone when ever I press the power button, or when the phone is connected to the charger.
If the phone is not connected to the charger, the current sound with disappear after around 15 seconds even I hold the power button.
Does that mean something? I think at least it means the phone does have power in the battery.
I tried to connect the phone to the computer, but I cannot find any device related to the phone.

Hi gee2012,
I almost give up and plan to send to phone back to US. Now I find I can hear the current sound from the top part of the phone when ever I press the power button, or when the phone is connected to the charger.

JUST SEND IT BACK. The longer you try to "fix it" the longer you're gonna be without a functioning phone. I know it's frustrating and you wanna fix it, but honestly it really sounds like it's dead. Just send it back to your friend and let him RMA it.
