hi
i was upgrading my universal, following instructions from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi
after upgrading, on my computer i received an error saying the upgrade was unsuccessful and now my universal is dead
i tried hard resetting, i tried putting it into bootloader mode...
there is nothing on the screen
what should i do?
have you ever entered BL before? most new users would not realise their in BL as it doesn't have any backlight. look closely
yes, i have, it isnt working at all, there is nothing on the screen
when i try to flash the device the pc says error 101 connection error
does your charge light appears when connected to AC power?
nope, no charge light
its sad just about 3 hours ago my device was working perfectly
here's what you do:
start activesync on your computer.
Go to connection settings and deselect allow usb connections.
connect your uni to your computer and push the backlight + on/off button and hold these. Then press the reset with your pen, still holding the backlight and on/off.
The screen should say something about serial or usb.
The backlight will not be lighted so it's hard to read.
If the screen doesn't say anything, unplug and plug in the usb connecter one more time.
Does your red charge led lit when you put it on the wallcharger ?
i tried that, many many times, screen still remains blank
nope, no red light when i plug it into the wall
this is bad, its not responding to anything
When plugged, does it give you a red blink (Charge light) when you Soft Reset?
yes!
yes, the first sign of life, when pluged in via usb to the pc, when i soft reset i get a red blink
any ideas?
Try holding down Light + power for at least 5sec. and while still pressing, do a soft reset.
If you dont go to BootLoader then try to increase the Hold down Light + Power some more.
And BTW. dont get stressed, keep cool.
Youl just **** it even more up if you get stressed, Ok
k, i just tried that, everytime i let go fo the soft reset button the pc says the usb device is not recognized, but still nothing on the screen
lol yeah ur right
thanks for the help
NP. now run the original upgrade for your device...your device is in boot loader right?
nope no bootloader, the screen is completely blank

Look closely, it wont have backlight on, so look really closely.
Remove the SD card and Sim, and just keep trying different time intervals with the "holding down Light + power for at least 5sec. and while still pressing, do a soft reset."
And if you had low battery when you started the upgrade, the use your Wall charger, not USB charger...and let it stay in for 1/2 hour before proceding.
Keep us updated
i removed the sim and sd, and have tried many different intervals, i charged the device all night last night with teh wall charger, still no luck
Hmmmmm, this is a bit strange.
The exact same thing happend to me some 5 days ago.
I managed to get it back with this trick.
Try Soft Reset between every try....just hang in there suddently it wil come to life
Do a ATX-reset/Destat.
Remove charger, battery etc and push in on/off button for 30sec twice. Then push down as many keyboard buttons as you can for a little while too. This way you "drain" it and everything should be reset. Try again.
Works especially well on computers that don't wanna POST. Same thing with cellphones, TV's, remotes etc.
ATX-Reset/Destat. Remember that one. Can solve loads of glitches.
How do I know?
Don't ask I work with these kind of issues every day.
i just tried the atx reset destat idea, it didnt boot it up
ive tried many different intervals now, ive spent hours trying to get this to work
bosjo were u connected to the pc while trying to get it into bootloader?
just received my new zl. tried to turn it on to test it out, felt the vibrate but the screen is black. i suspect the battery is dead and needs a good charge. i plugged it into the charger but no lights or indication that it's charging. did the same thing by plugging it into the pc and again nothing. is this normal? do i have to wait a few hours for the battery to charge up? or do i have a lemon ?
i hope to god this is normal. returning this for a warranty will be a major hassle as it was sourced internationally.
alright, i've managed to get the notification light blinking green but nothing shows up on the screen. figured it was off and just charging, i tried to turn it on but nothing happens. so i tried i the volume up + power button trick whilst the light is blinking green and it turns solid blue, but the screen is still off. i believe i'm in fastboot mode now. when i plug it into the pc and repeat the steps, windows recognises the fastboot mode but it can't install drivers for it (i've got pc companion installed). what the hell is going on?
update. plugging it into the pc and doing a light reboot (holding the back off button for 5 secs with 1 vibration) allows the pc to briefly recognise it. it does this for a sec or 2 and disconnects it. and then it will continue doing this on a loop. is this a boot loop? i'm trying to make it so that the phone can stay connected to the pc for a few minutes, enough time for me to flash the rom using flashtool, PCC, or SUS. but because it's connecting and disconnecting, i can't do anything.
so at the moment, this is what i have figured. i'm stuck in a boot loop with a battery that is dead. anyone got any ideas?

The only thing that I could think is that the phone is under warranty which Sony will able to replace it.

Hey guys,
a while ago, the HTC One V of a friend of mine just shut down and now it doesn't start anymore I tried to reset it by pressing the power button and the vol down button for about 10 seconds, but it just does nothing. If i connect it to the charger, the led is blinking orange, also if I connect it to the PC it's blinking, but the PC doesn't recognize it and the screen stays black. I also tried to restart it while holding it under a bright light, but that also doesn't work.
It wasn't rooted and the bootloader was locked and stuff, he just used it normally.
I hope you can help me, the things I found in the forums didnt work

No
try leave it charging for a day and then try to turn it on
I'm in a similar situation. got the phone from a friend, who has not used it in almost a year. i charged it for a long-long time, but it still doesnt turn on. tried hard reset, still nothing. when i connect it to the pc it installed the correct drivers, etc. but i tried to connect it via the all in one toolkit and it did not recognize the phone. utorrent recognized it as a usb disk. really strange. is there any chance of recovering it or send it to htc? (which would not be a cheap solution without the warranty)

Hey,
unfortunately, my phone won't turn on anymore.
The charging LED is orange but the phone won't turn on anymore.
I tried vol+ and Power but nothinig happens. Also my PC won't recognize it.
Any ideas?? (
I don't know why my phone don't turn on, the only thing I can do with the phone is restarting it using power button and volume up, but the screen keep black, the pc does not recognize it and not even turn on the light.
What can i do?

What happened? Were you just using it, and it suddenly went black and now won't turn on anymore?
