Anyone able to assist. I have searched the forum.
After my compact froze I did a soft reset only to see it hang on the T-Mobile splash screen (white background, pink dots). The ROM details do not even appear in the bottom right hand corner.
I have upgraded my ROM with Hard-SPL, a Radio ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM but that was weeks ago.
Not even a Hard-Reset sorts it out.
Cannot see how the new ROM would be causing the problem as it has worked for a few weeks.
Luckily followed all the instructions and have 1.40 Olinex Hard-SPL on the phone. Just need to wait for home so I can plug it into my laptop. What I do from that point on will be the subject of a further search of this board later.
Any assistance?
Since you already have Hard-SPL, try first flashing a stock ROM.
See here for available ROM's: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
Let us know what the results are...
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I cannot get my Compact to sync with my PC in order to add a stock ROM. As I am frozen on the T-Mobile screen the Mobile Device Center does not connect to the Compacy.
Are there any work arounds?
Oh well back it goes to T-Mobile with the hope that they do not identify that the ROM has changed.
Happened to me before as well.
Start your Phone in bootloader mode. Means you hold down the Volume down button while soft resetting. Then you get to the red, green, blue, white screen. In the bottom it says "serial". once you connect to the PC it switches to "usb" and now you can flash ANY ROM you like. I replaced mine with the same ROM I had before....
Don't know what happened to cause this problem. But I got it solved that way.
Let me know if this worked....
Cheers for the reply Staty.
I was able to get the USB connection to work but after reloading the ROM the phone has gone off and stayed off. Can't get any splash screen now.
But you were able to completely reflash the ROM?
Or did it stop along the way?
Did not stop along the way. Went to 100% and was met by the finished screen on the PC. However the Compact does not turn in now.
So you try to turn it on but nothing happens?
Did you try hooking the phone to the loading cable and then turn it on? Maybe a problem with the bettery?
Besides that I got no idea right now.
Which ROM did you reflash? The same you used before?
Hi,
You must download full rom (with radio etc.), the best original. Doesn't matter which one. And hard reset after that.

Tried hooking it up to the loading cable, the charger and still no luck.
Have no idea why it will not start-up. Do not even get the white circular light when plugged into the charger.

Yep done all that. Compact still dead. Changed ROM about 3 weeks ago, no problems just stopped working altogether. Was able to connect it to the PC to update ROM again but now nothing.
Not sure how having Hard-SPL on the phone is gonna help when the thing wont turn on.

Here wot fella.... Yesterday i called t-mobile cause my mda was running kinda hot for some reason, With no effort the lady said it shouldn't be getting that hot (like she could feel the heat over the phone lol) "i'm going to send you a replacement for tomorrow morning" Today, So me thinking a refurbished phone and no screen protector, i asked if they could send me a screen protector, No she said, i'm sending you a brand new phone "in the box" so all the bits will be there.......
Brilliant i get a new mobile..... Here is the best bit....
UPS turns up this morning with a brand new phone.. the guy asks me for the old phone ONLY, didn't take back old batt, headset...etc put it in a bag and away he went......
So i get a brand new phone (BOXED) and get to keep all the old accessories.
So the moral of the story is..... RMA your mobile, tell t-mobile its over heating and pray too god you get the same woman on the phone that i did...!
P.s..... Out of curiosity, Which cooked rom was you using...!

Thats really wiered. Looks like there is more broken than the ROM. Did you try taking out the battery and keeping it out for a little time.
Try to turn on the phone without the battery in it - so all the power in the condensers etc. will be gone.
Keep the battery separated from the phone for a couple hours and then try it again.
I was having the trouble back then, that the more often I tried to turn the phone on while it was broken it turned off itself even quicker. after I left it without touching it an hour it took longer to turn off itself again.
P.P.S and remember so say its the bottom part off the phone or they may try palm you off with its "the battery"...!

Called them and put on my nicest charm with a young lady. She actually read out a T-Mobile notice release that said there was a known fault with the phones over-heating during charge and large downloads. It said that customers should be told that it is safe and a software update coming out soon would sort it out.
I told here the phone no longer worked and she said that they would replace but I should keep all accesories and the battery. I said that as it doesn't turn on it could be the battery and she agreed to a FULL replacement.
They are sending it to my work on Monday and will take the old one away.
Thanks for the advice, was really worried they would want it back for testing BEFORE sending out a new one and they may find my Custom ROM
All good though. Thanks again.

I left the battery overnight but still no luck.
I am pretty certain it'saphone fault now and absolutely nothing to do with ROM's. T-Mobile are now thankfully taking it back.

my htc p3300 started to give me random crashes, hanging spontaniously without any reproducable scenario.
Sometimes it happens when the device is in power-saving mode, sometimes during connection to PC while being charged, once it gave me during the phone conversation.
The About shows:
CE OS 5.2.1238 (build 17745.0.2.3)
I can't remember which ROM it was exactly, but I downloaded it from these boards. I hate using original French versions hence I started to look for English one. Oh, and when phone boots it gives T-Mobile boot screen.
Anyways, I did a hardware reset, and it was running without a single crash for a whole day. Till this moment. It crashed again, software reset didn't work, had to do it hard way.
I contacted the vendor, and they are OK to send it for repairs, but it's gonna take around 3 weeks, plus I am not sure that they will be able to reproduce the problem, and what I am also not sure in, is that they may simply reflash the ROM with standard French version and be done with it.
So I am trying to get some help and opinions while downloading Mesche's vanilla v2 ROM to give it a final try.
Any ideas and comments are welcome
d3sp
no ideas, anyone?
I flashed with vanilla custom rom, and I only got 1-2 crashes so far..
Also when it crashes, sometimes the screen goes gray or dirty white-ish
and I can see vertical stripes on it..
I have exactly the same problem. I think the problem has to-do with cpu temprature. When its a hot day, I get it all the time. I think I am going to open it up, and check if the problem is with dirt inside.
sounds like a over heating problem, the screen usually goes dodgy if it gets too hot (same with most LCD screen products).
Do u have a program to show the temperature? (i use BatteryStatus, so get the temp from there).
thats really strange, i doubt it's a temperature that makes him sick
for example, it went dead last night, it was not hot inside my house, but the phone still went dead, so I had to hard reset it
I am facing the three weeks of horror without my artemis (( since I am out of ideas and going to send it to repair to manufacturer

Seriously.
It may be some software you have running on it. What all to you have? And, are you running the original ROM or a cooked ROM? You may have to warranty it if everything is stock.

Well, i just reinstalled fresh new vanilla something ROM that I took on these very boards.
The original ROM is in French, so that's not an option for me.

Hi All,
I have been reading through as always trying to give the kiss of life to the recently (1month) upgraded MDA Compact III. I have upgraded it from WM5 to Touch Flu WM6. It has been working great till last night it just died on me and now I can’t even turn it on... It comes on if i leave the battery out for a 10mins and then put it back in, but it will only go far as the boot screen and as soon as it comes to the password prompt it dies
SO I can’t get in to the bootloader...
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks all
Kind regards,
DS

Just to clarify, if you do the sequence to put it in bootloader mode, it still wont come on? What if you have it connected to the computer, still no power?
I had that same problem
Well not to be the messenger of doom but it may eventually die for good, i dunno what causes this but the same thing happened to my xda orbit recently. I had it for about 7 months the 3 weeks ago i had that problem to fix it i would leave a battery out for about an hour, also it seems the more programs u have it seems the more crashes it has, not saying hard reseting fixes it just when i installed the touch 3.01 rom and installed as few programs as possible it didn't crash for a week but, last Thursdays picked it up turned it on started listening to music then it just crashed and wouldn't even turn on at all when i plug in the charger the light didn't turn on or anything taking it to the o2 shop tomorrow.

I would think if u were to claim u may still be able to claim from the warranty if flashing it doesn't void it i sure hope not but i also insured mine so if the warranty is void i still have a life line.
i also have the same problem... i have upgraded to wm 6, first day was OK. i put my arte in my back pocket... when i took it out, it was shut down.... first i thought that it was because i sat on it... but it didnt open after that... when i plug charger it doesnt charge... however i managed to charge the battery fully... if i take the battery for a period of time.. it seems to work but crashes again, slowly going in black screen with a green vertical line in the center...
what should i do? please help me... unfortunately there's no htc shop here in turkey...

I am affraid that you lose the warranty because u flashed (updated) your orginal ROM.
Mayby damaged is only storage of ROM - memory chip
i didn't lose my warranty on mine maybe because they couldn't turn the phone on to check it out properly, i just got it back yesterday with the official o2 rom and no questions asked. b4 u take it back if u can flash the official T-Mobile rom then their shouldn't be any problem i would think.
I have same problem can someone point me in the right direction for the rom please same phone
Hi all,
Hopefully you can help me, i have just installed the latest radio and Modaco ROM (this isn't the first time i've did this).
After installation i got what looked like an image of a drive and an arrow, i assume this meant it couldnt find the boot image. I then tried a couple of times to reboot holding the home key but now i cant even switch it back on... even on charge the light isn't coming on
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks
GF
When the arrow and drive comes up, you're meant to leave your phone well alone, it means it's flashing something (usually something important!)
If your phone doesn't turn on, sounds like you've made a full hard brick, nothing you can do but see if you can get it repaired.
Gutted, cheers

Sometimes, if the Hero does not switch on, taking the battery out and reinserting it might reboot it. But if the charge light is not coming on, then it might not work. Worth a try though.
Did you get the phone through a network? If it is under warranty, you can just play dumb and return the phone. They probably won't even know that you have modded the phone. My battery stopped holding charge and would not switch on unless it was plugged in to the mains. When I returned it, they changed my battery and the main board!?! When I called them up, the service centre told me "there was some dust on the main board, so we changed it".
Not smart enough to figure out that I had rooted the phone and was running Modaco at the time.

Hey guys,
Last week I was at the bar taking a picture from some nice girls, unfortanly my Desire slipped from my hand an fell pretty hard on the floor. It was off an didn't boot. After a night without the battery, the next day it booted and worked for an week, no problems at all. Yesterday my phone shutted off again and now I can't boot it at all again, left it the whole night at the charger, but that didn't seem to help, ive searched the forums but nothing helped. The strange thing is, that it worked for an week and now it doesn't anymore. Does someone knows a proper solution for this, my phone is rooted and RCMixHD 2.0 is running on it. help?
Ok, I found out that I still have warranty at my provider! But, do they start whining if they found out my phone has an custom rom?

Hi.
I think that more than for sure there will be problems if they are able to find that you have ROOT-ed your phone since this breaks the warranty. Anyway try leaving it without battery in for a day and see if this can make the phone boot up. You could also try another battery, if you have a friend with the same phone or you are able to go to a store and ask to try out a battery to see if that is the problem.
If that is your problem you can, I think go to warranty and say that your problem is the battery.
It would be recommended that you run a RUU if you are to go to warranty. If they find out you messed with the phone I think your warranty will be gone forever.
If the battery is not the problem, then I think you can't do anything, since your phone doesn't even boot up, but go to warranty and pray that they wont examine too deep and see the root.
Still I have one curiosity: the led is still showing that you are charging the phone (the orange, green led)?

Thanx for your reply, I tried another battery but that didn't help . The led doesnt show up if I put an charger in it (tried with different chargers/cables the phone isnt doing anything. The last time it stopped working I didn't use the phone for about 8 hours, and after that I booted and worked fine for an week. So hopefully he wil work again this evening so I can make him stock again for warranty.

Hi.
As it sounds, it could be a motherboard problem, or the usb connection on the phone, or anything else, but since it isn't working with any battery then it is surely from the motherboard.
Hope it starts one more time so you can bring it to stock.
Even if this fails, there's nothing else to try but getting it to warranty and cross fingers.
Good luck.
Okay I recently wrote a thread about the random restrarts on my g3 that happened 10 times a day, but the things have gone too far. As i was having random restarts when I monstly use the camera but not only for about 5 days and some of those restarts were also shutdowns now the problem is more serious. Today i was intending to take a picture of something and as usual the phone restarted but STUCK on the startup boot "picture" that says that lifes good and then goes black screen and startup picture and black screen and so on. I wasn't able to use the phone. I pulled out the battery and tried again but it didn't worked. So as I went home i plugged the phone ot the charger and when i powered it on it started normally and tried to take pictures and there weren't any problems. So I think that this is the battery that is making this **** to happen. I highly doubt that this is software problem but from my quick examination i think that the problem is from the battery . What do You think. Tommorow i will go to my carrier and "ll try to explain them about this. But they are usually jerks who don't know anything about phones. They only know how to get your money.Anyways. Yes.

Are you rooted? Did you flash anything? Did you edit any system files? Looks exactly like when I bricked my phone. There is a fix. Check out this thread and the links in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-unbricking-steps-clarification-t3119844
Also can you access download mode or recovery. You might want to try them first.
No I havent rooted it or made any system modifications. This problem occurs only when my phone isnt charging. When iits charging even at 100% there isnt any problem
I've gone to my stupid carriers office and explained everything but they do not want to give me a new battery unless they bring the phone to the other end of the country for repair. This is extremely stupid. Now I can't use my phone because its totally "bricked". I xan only use it with my original dc charger if i unplug it the phone shuts off. Yesterday Ive decided to make a factory reset, but i wanted to copy my internal storage to my pc, but the phone won't turn on when its plugged to the pc. I don't know what the **** is happening with this 500 piece of pancake.
well i have finally decided to do a factory reset but after the anticipation and thinking it is a software problem it isn't apparently. Maybe i will just send it to repair and hope that i wait less than 20 days for it to come back. And i hope that they don't figure out the problem and send a new phone but i think it is the battery that is the problem. Anyways the modern technologys are the most incredible thing and the most getting you pissed of one. You pay 500 dollars+ and expect something good and there you go .
So did you do factory reset or not?
Btw, getting phone to repair center is a good decision, they'll see what's wrong.
I have been happy with my G3, only "minor" thing I don't like is the horrible backspeaker (coming from HTC One m7)
