I know it's not a battery issue I have two that I bought at different times and it does this with both of them. The phone just keeps freezing no matter what rom I put on it. I've tried the default t-mobile 6.0 and all the custom roms from here. Here's what's happening, I don't touch the phone for a few days, leave it off and everything. When I turn it on it boots up fine, let it sit for a few hours to make sure it's working and as soon as I start doing things on it, the device slows down then freezes. I've tried overclocking the cpu a little just to speed it up but it doesn't help. So once it freezes I pull the battery and try to turn it back on but it freezes on the windows screen, the only way to get it to boot normally is a hard reset, which then it only lasts for a few hours. Any ideas? Is it completely shot at this point?
Than if it is not a battery problem than all I can think of is that there is a hardware problem.
Memory card it sounds like. Take it out and see if it works normally if so go get a new one. Flash memory cards are great but they dont last forever
Oh I would have never thought it would be a memory card issue... but hey that could be the case.
Similar Problem
My Dash has had 6.1 then I went back to 6.0 after having this problem:
Initially this would occur when I would try to access the internet, email, etc. it would just shut down. Now the problem occurs when in a call as well. The Dash shuts down. I would try to reboot but it reads my battery as dead. I tried different batteries, same problem. THe only way to reboot is to plug into recharge. It will reboot but still reads the battery as 0%. When I reboot on power after the initial reboot, it reads the battery as full again. I can keep the Dash on for awhile but, when receiving a call or when it tries to get email (not All the time, just most of the time) it shuts down again.
I took the phone to a repair shop and they replaced the circuit board but it still did the same thing. After reading this thread, the constant is the memory card. Could this be the problem?
Maybe, but it does sound a lot like a situation I had just a lil while back. I could feel the battery getting hot during use and have to leave my dash plugged in all the time. If I unplugged it the battery would die fast and it's prompt me to shut down. I end up testing a lot of things and found that after I removed OMAPClock from the ROM the problem went away. Now you say you went back to 6.0 after having this problem, did you go with one that had OMAP or install it seperately? Since I removed it I haven't had any problems. I still have the ROM I made to get rid of it. It's Rose 1.6 by Ricky & Stylez, only change is I removed OMAPClock from it. Let me know if you want to try it, I'll just need to upload it somewhere...
OMAP
Sure, at this point, I am wanting to have my DASH back! The problem right now is getting the laptop to recognize it and sync again after all the stuff that the shop did. It is not being recognized after their reflash
To get your laptop to recognize it, try this. With your Dash turned off and unplugged, hold down the camera button then plug in the sync cable. The Dash should load the Blue/Green/Red Boat Loader screen. You should then be able to reflash it with an Official ROM.
My Edited version of the Rose ROM 1.6 by Ricky and Stylez is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mhm2t5yxqwm
This is to flash back to the T-Mobile Radio which i am also using:

This is The SDA Unlocker:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?djgqnjnunuy
This is the ET9 Keyboard Fix Cab:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?motamjqzhov
This is the T-Mobile Dash WM6.0 Official ROM:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tzmyujnywy0
Flash the ROM first, than flash the Radio.
Not recognizing the USB now
I think that the shop didn't connect something, it is not recognizing the USB now. It will charge but not sync or flash the phone.
I took the dash back to the shop to fix their fixing Hopefully, it will sync when I get it back (and they don't try to charge me for the repair!)
Is it possible that the problem is caused by a faulty SIM card? When I sync it, I will see if the problem persists after removing the memory stick.
The simple things are usually the correct things. memory cards cause all sorts of issues, Removing it is simple enough of a way to tell if it is the cause.
OMAP will drain your battery if you let it run all of the time, and the battery will get hot (as well as the processor) from over use. Simply turning off the over clocking when you dont need it solves that problem.
My bet is it is the Memory card, that would also explain the inability to use the USB sync, Windows first looks to see if you are simply plugging in a USB device, checks to see if it is / has a memory card then in the case of syncing (WM) it loads active sync or mobile center if it detects a compatable OS. If your memory card is bad Windows may never ever get past the memory card check and just sit there.
It's not my memory card, I've removed it and even tried a few different ones I had and keeps doing the same thing. I'm thinking hardware related and was actually looking into getting one with a busted screen off ebay or something to put my screen into.

Hi my P3300 ( artemis) has suddenly startet to freze and or turn it self off, only thing that helps is to take out and replace the battery, i have read all topics i could find with simmilar problems, and i was hopping it was my battery that was going old so i bought a new one, but it didnt help.
i have tried diffrent roms wont help,
i tried to "push" the battery closer to the conectors, no help and it's seems like its hard or software problem but not battery.
some times when i turn the device back on with out replacing battery it works but sometimes when i do like that it gets to HTC page showing rom info etc. then it fades out and i can see blackscreen but it "glows" and the phone is dead nothing works.
i chaged the screen a couple of months ago but the fault dosent seems to have with the screen to do.
It seems that it is a hardware issue. They replaced motherboard for me, it is working now.
hmmm i have no warenty left. and my phone does look used so i guess im screwd?
sorry for that..
an issue happened with me witha nokia mobile before and when i sent it to be fixed they told me there was a problem in the radio chip or something like that..
so try to install a different radio ROM ... that's all i can think of.
and sorry for your loss
i will try that, but the problem ocured before i change radio last time....
hmmm
I changed back to original HTC wm 6 (swedish) yesterday and the phone worked all day, and i thought i have solved my problem, but whilst driving my car for about 15 min and the phone was in placed in the a space in the middle of the dashboard under the stereo i found out when i toke it back up to call that it was dead......so i was wondering could it have something to do with heat or lost GSM coverage (thinking i have multiple faults on my artemis)
htc arte100 freezes on startup
can any one give solution for my arte100 it freezes on startup
how can i restore or put it on bootloader mode in order to upgrade it
thanks in advance
for the boot loader see the WIKI
if your device is unlock flash it with any rim you want.. if not get the original ROM for your mobile and then flash it..
for flashing try using RUU or the SD card flashing..
all can be found on the WIKI
totally dead
now i cant start it again its dead as it can be?! i tried to have it with out battery over night, with battery and usb cable over nigt, old and new battery, usb from pc or from orginal AC adapter or waths it called.
it dosent light the "loding battery led" or nothing, i tried with sim in sd card out, sim AND sd out or both in nothing work i have open it and blew away all dust still dead?!
something i forgott to try?! or is this expencive toy gonna be a toy for my 8 month old kid?
Artemis goes Dead
I'm having the same problem, and have worked the same solutions. I noticed this started when I also had my phone underneath the radio in my car.
Replace radio rom
Upgraded rom to 6.1
New Battery
Unlocked Phone
Last attempt was uploading active sync 4.5 since loading version 6.1
I've got no solution yet, just posting to let you know we are in the same situation.
I have read about similar problems in different forums, and the conclusion is that it's a hardware issue. When I sent it in for support, they replaced the motherboard. I guess, there is something smaller wrong but they just replace it all.
No way.
Replaced battery, took out SIM and SD, changed ROM (finally it was long enough at life), but still:
Display freezes, turns white - game over.
I give up.
Until a few days ago I was very happy with HTC and my Artemis.
Artemis 110 (T-Mobile Compact iii) Back from the Dead
Artemis 110 (T-Mobile Compact iii) Back from the Dead, Flash via Active Sync then via SD Artemis
Since the XDA site is so valuable, I’m trying to consolidate my efforts to make a legitimate contribution to the site. Hopefully this post can also be of help to others.
These are just notes on what I’ve been through so far with my Mobile Compact iii. Hopefully, someone more advanced than I, will read through and possibly troubleshoot the errors I may have overlooked.
Upon returning from Germany, I needed to re-flash my ROM with an English version. Version of choice was the Blue & Black cube with WM6, thanks to the developer(s).
BLACK & BLUE v5.0 ROM WM6.1 CE OS 19716 ( Build 19716.1.1.0 )
First I used the USPL to temp unlock the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
I then loaded the Operating Version, and received many stalls and stops via the White Screen of Death. (I have some theories on the white screen of death, but do not have the knowledge to confirm) I suspect utilities are running in the background and are being loaded. Impatience at this point could quite possibly be my nemesis
Second, I loaded the unlock to permanently unlock the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400445
I re-flashed my ROM again the B&B cube. Still the phone seemed unstable, was shutting down and getting the white screen of death. I hard booted the phone many times, soft booted, battery out, and through no tangible reason of thought, the phone just did what it wanted to. Start, not start, and hung up at various points in the boot process, died in the middle of Wal-Mart.
I tried the over-clock on WM6, using WM5 over-clocking. Talk about unstable. I couldn’t find and over-clock for WM6, but now know it is an option in the Blue and Black Rom. Anyway my phone went out completely. To the point of not being able to get past the initial flash screen where the OS and IS version displayed and that was it. Left the phone overnight, nothing.
In a last attempt, I used the SD mini flash option found in WIKI.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
I used my printer SD card reader and the adapter supplied with the SD mini card. Home PC recognized the storage device, right click and format, then did the rename file (NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh) as found on the WIKI SD Flash page. I initially tried without the format, and only got to the Red Green Blue (RGB) screen. Since I received no indication of status, I started over, formatted the mini SD, extracted the file to the SD, renamed, to ARTEIMG.nbh and I also extracted the B&B Cube WM6 Rom to the SD mini, for I found a couple of post indicating the ROM also needed to be on the SD. I followed the instructions, did the Boot-loader. (Power Button, Voice Button, and Rest with Stylus, release stylus, continue holding Power and Voice until upload prompt on the phone). I received the Update SD image, and followed the instructions. Here I got the prompts indicating status of uploads. OS 1 started to load, OS 2 loaded, phone when to RGB screen. I left the phone alone for 30 minutes at the RBG screen.
After 30 minutes, I rebooted the phone, and the phone went through setup and auto-detected my current carrier SIM card. Has been working for the past hour and 20 minutes.
Since the phone is running at the moment, I will wait and see. Next step is to load the original WM5 T-mobile version via active sync. If downloaded from the t-mobile site, the ROM update isn’t broken down enough to rename the NNBH file..
I’m also waiting to load a new radio version, for I’ve read that may be the cause of some of my problems.
Another theory I have is that T-mobile sent out kill phone code to stop my phone.
Any feedback from the Pros is very appreciated.
I have the same problem: Link to other thread
Apparently there are many devices with the same (more or less) problem.
I hope someone is able to tell what is malfunctioning....
Hi,
My Artemis is running Meschle's Touch 4.02 WWE for a long time now.
A couple of months ago it started to crash, apparently randomly. It started after I installed auto-hibernate, but this could be a coincidence.
What happens most of the time is that the screen is turning black (fades away), starting from the bottom. Sometimes it just gets stuck on the home or other window or it soft resets automatically. I also got twice a white screen that said: 'reset due to sudden power loss'. Soft resets sometimes work, sometimes it gets stuck on the boot screen. I did several hard-resets with no luck.
I am trying for a long time to figure out a pattern. Maybe it has to do with the radio consuming too much power? Upgraded to 03.21.90: same problem.
Last two crashes happened while trying to start Opera mini.
After a crash the clock is wrong (the time of the crash the clock stopped).
It seems to happen more often while charging.
I've changed the battery: it seemed to be better for a while (two weeks) but then it started again.
I've disabled everything, leaving only the phone (no data, no HTC home, ....) but still the phone crashes from time to time (sometimes every hour, sometimes every 5 mins, .....).
Battery status indicates some weird things too: after charging up to i.e. 35% then soft reset batt status indicated 58%...or batt status is 30% then 2 mins later status is 2%. The OMAP function is turned off, because sometimes while booting the cpu is stuck on a very low frequency (screen flickering, very slow boot, ...).
I've tried to flash with another rom (original HTC) but I get: 'update utility not for this device' or something similar. I've tried several RUU's en always USPL.
Does any of this make sense to anyone? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I have exactly the same problem. Think solved from 2 days. Changed the SD card i have 2 one 2 gigs and one 1 gigs the problem was with the 2 gigs card. Try to backup your data and format the card.

Thx, I'll try that. However, even when the sd card is removed the crashes occur.
Just had another crash....connected via usb to my pc: after 5 secs screen faded to black. I had to soft reset. After that some 'invisible window' was blocking the start menu. Closed it (via the close button top right) and got the start menu again. Re-connected to usb and is ok until now....
I also see 173mA of drain.
I had the same problem.............and i change back to the original swedish wm6 rom and it was better for a couple of days, then got worse started to freze fade out until one day it "died" now i can only get into bootloader but cant boot any roms not the original swedish rom (wm6) or any other rom, in boot loader it only says IPL 3.13.0001 SPL 3.13.0001 no gsm or other stuff but when conected to USB it says usb, I tried the SD flash to but no good so my sugestion it that u see to that ur device is "open spl" if it take the same route that mine did.
(i change to a brand new battery when the problem where starting but taht didnt help.....)
I guess now as i understand it my only hope is to find the original shiped rom wm 5 swedish rom?! and try if that will flash onto my device.
i hope u dont get the same problem as me.
Only problems, no solutions...
Mine (p3300; Black&Blue v5) got a new Battery, new SD-Card. Did´nt help. I removed the SD, removed SIM, loaded the battery, then turned it on again and from now on it´s sometimes booting, sometimes not. If it´s booted up (after long time lying with removed battery) it doesn´t live long enough to flash it with another (old) rom.
Now it´s lying next to me, with all this expensive accesoires, doesn´t talk to me and say what the problem is. My Provider called me and asked if I want a new one.
Again HTC? I love the functions of WM...
I have the same problem with my Dopod M700 (Love)
But mine doesn't freeze it just auto soft reset itself... i don't know whats going on... somebody please help.
Changing to different ROM doesn't solve the problems... put back the original factory ROM also doesn't help.
Here still the same problem.
I've upgraded the radio to 03.21.90: now WIFI isn't working anymore and the phone still 'crashes'. I'll change it to 03.18.90 and see what happens.
I've emptied the battery several times (until bootloader switches off) and recharged with the original AC adapter. Did a hard reset on battery 100%: problem remains.
There are several threads with the same problem. I didn't find an answer, exept maybe to replace the motherboard.
I really wonder if there's anyone who knows what is causing the problem.
It could be the graphics card (screen fading) or the battery/charge chip...no idea.
I've also noticed that when a crash occurs, it often takes some time until it boots again, as if the Artemis needs to 'cool down'.

I'm having exactly the same problem which happened after I upgrade from Artemis love 32 to 33.
I have tried everything mentioned here, changed th Rom 5 times, went back to the Ship Rom, but the system keep on crashing.This is the second time this is happening to my Artemis. The solution at the first time was replacing the motherboard and nothing else, as it has worked fine after that.
I posted my problem in another thread here but no solution yet. Four days back and after I got enough with it, I took my Artemis to the HTC work shop and they told me that they couldn't find the reason for the crash, and the only way to solve the problem is to replace the motherboard which will cost me too much.
Strange it happens to several phones, and more or less in the same way.
I've changed my Rom to B&B 5.0 now. Still same problem.
Wifi isn't working at all anymore: tried several radio versions, none brings back the wifi. Is this the end of my Artemis?
Me 2
Jup it happened to mine too, I returned it to the shop and when they returned it they said that they had replaced something but they couldn't tell me what It worked for a couple of months but now the same problem so it's back at the shop again... (luckily i had 2 years of warranty) So i guess it's not really a software problem.

I hope u really try to get them to awnser what they change this time and then u can tell us? who knows it might help to know that.
So...installed B&B 5.0 (thx Tom ).
I did several complete 'battery charging cycles'.
I formatted my SDHC card.
It seems to me that it crashes less now (only once yesterday, not yet today).
Wifi seems to be definitly gone.
It probably isn't SW-related, but why would it crash less now than before?
I think that the most probable cause would be the chip that handles the battery status.
Let's hope that the chip somehow got resetted with the charging cycles.
No luck....it crashed all the time yesterday.
It seems that it happens more often when it is in my pocket (temperature related?).
When it lies on the cupboard it seems that it stays ok...again very strange.
Also while charging the battery status was 48%. I removed the charger and the status jumped to 100% :s.
Does anyone know how much it costs to have the MB replaced?
MDA Compact III
Hi!
I had the same promlem with my MDA Compact III!
I think it's a hardware problem. I tried so many roms, original, and cooked too... change the battery, clean the motherboard, but didn't help.
I was nervous, take out the battery for 5sec then reinstall it and took it in the refrigerator (NOT IN THE FREEZER!!!) for about 10minutes!
The result: don't crash about 1 hour!
So i took it back for 1day. And now, it works 2weeks continously, with no crash.
But unfortunately the battery (also the new one) holds the charge only 1day.

Same problem here. I called HTC, they picked up my device, replaced the inside (motherboard) I guess because my device has a different IMEI number now. Very quick service, within one week my device was at my desk again.
I had similar problems.
had my HTC repaired (new MB)
problems remained the same.
after two repairs I received a new device and even that did not solve my problems.
Up till I bought a new battery
now he is working perfect again!
Hi i have the same problem as all of you. But is there really no solution to this problem except for sending it up to HTC and let the **** be replaced?
I also have the exprience that when its in my pocket is crashes also directly. but when it's just lying on the table nothing happens.
It is now lying there for 2 days without crashing.
i flashed it back to the original ROM. but still crashes after i put it in my pocket.
when i reset it (i cannot turn it normal on with the on button) it turns back on and starts normaly. i can use it now aslong as i don't put it in my pocket.
Please will some-one help find a solution for fixen it what causes these problems.
Many thanks in Advanced Fill

just get a new battery and it hopefully will do...it solved my problems...first time i hat the issue....right now i'm having it again...and it seems like the battery
you say it stays like that or 2 days...try running some heavy apps like igo or something other which is memory and battery consuming..it will probably crash..if it does...i'm 95% sure it's the battery

I am fed up of being consistently taking my battery out or soft reseting. If it stays over the table quiet, it's ok. The moment it goes into my pocket...

Thanks for replying, it seems that the problem has fixed itself. i put it in the original charger for about 3 or 4 days. it still crashed a couple times just reset with the charger connected put it back. i now just disconnect it from changer (2 days) (after 3 or 4 days in the charger) without any crash. runned tomtom for couple or houres?
i also turned the phone function off and removed the simcard.
hopefully it will keep running and then i gonna try to put my simcard back in.
Thanks

Ok it crashed already again
I have an extra Excalibur with the official T Mobile WM6 rom that isn't working. When I turn the phone on, I get a screen with a white background, red text, and blue soft key buttons that reads:
Device start up failed dueto s
udden loss of power. Please c
lick "yes" to continue.
Note:
Do not remove battery be
fore device has been comple
tely shutdown (OFF).
Yes | No
If I press yes the phone does a power cycle and hangs at either the T Mobile splash screen or the WM6 splash screen. I've had no luck with a hard reset. Anybody familiar with this issue? It isn't a huge deal. Currently I'm using a Cavalier and I also have a working Excalibur and a working Wizard, both with 6.1 roms. However, it's be nice to get this phone working.
Only time I ever seen that error is when I ws messing with editing a ROM and must of removed a file that screwed WM up. Now since you say it's the official T-Mo ROM maybe it got currupted somehow. How I fixed it was the Hard Reset the USB way. Hold down the camera button while plugging in the USB with the cell off. It'll load the boat loader and you need to reflash with an official ROM. Now I know you said you Hard Reset, but I've seen people explain a few differents methods all being explained as Hard resetting. This method worked for me during my testing.
I'm flashing the original rom and everything seems to be working alright.
I really appreciate your help man.
Okay, I wish I had better news but I'm still running into problems. After I finished installing the rom from T-MO's website, I powered the phone on. It showed the T-Mo screen, then the WM6 Screen, then played the T-Mo animation/sound. The screen stuck here, and the phone would not power off so I removed the battery and put it back in. I then got the original error message and pressed yes, and the phone lagged at the same point again.
how long did you wait for fist boot?

Like Ricky said, how long did you wait? The first boot could take a while, the flash is going to perform a "Cold Boot Config". It take a bit longer that first time to load.
I actually got it to prompt me for cold boot config once, but after finishing the phone rebooted and hung once again.
I don't know, maybe you got a hardware problem. I'd try reflashing it again and when it boots the first time don't touch it and see what happens. If it hangs for more then say 10 mins. I'd say you might be having a hardware problem.
Hmm. I guess I most definitely have a hardware problem. An error of that sort would most likely be from a faulty motherboard, correct? I have a dash that was taken into the lake not too long ago. Everything recovered okay, other than the screen. The phone no longer turns on for a completely different reason, but I think the guts are mostly good.
Is it possible to change out motherboards? If so, is it unwise to try the motherboard that went swimming with me over the summer?
Well considering neither work, what do you have to loose? lol I say try swapping aprts and see what comes of it. I have seen cells "go swimming before and servive as long as the battery is removed right away and it's allowed to dry thoroughly. They don't opperate on much voltage so short curcuits due to water is not as bad as say a 12 volt or higher device.
Also, I forgot to mention the status on the phone. Okay, I can flash an official ROM and it will boot up and run Cold Boot Config. After that the phone will power cycle. It hangs a little bit at the T-Mo splash screen, but does eventually start. At that point it basically works flawlessly, except I cannot detect it through ActiveSync via USB.
Once the phone powers off, it will not turn back on. I don't get the original error message, just nothing happens. Only way to get the phone turned on again is to hold the camera button down while plugging in the USB cord, and start all over flashing an official ROM.
Yeah, I would say hardware failure. It's a complete new flash so it shouldn't be suffering from a software problem. Maybe the ROM Chip is damaged causing errors to the WM installation. Same thing as a bad hard drive in a computer that will currupt files and end up crashing the system.

That's exactly what i'm thinking too, sounds like a hardware error as a flash wont solve it.
So what piece of hardware is the most likely culprit?
I never took mine apart, but I would say it's the ROM Chip which should be soldered to the motherboard. If it is replace the whole motherboard...

so when holding down the camera key and plug the usb do i try to also turn it on what am i looking for and how long do i hold the keys down
thank you
So, I left my Artemis in my RAM Aqua Box waterproof phone case attached to my motorcycle while I ran into the store.
I came out, started the bike and started the ride home. That was when I noticed the white screen and my tunes had stopped playing. I've seen it happen before (while turning off the phone in camera mode, etc), but a simple soft reset always fixed it. Not this time...
For two days now I've flashed it back to factory, installed my latest ROM (twice), reconfigured all my settings, etc, only to have the phone seize up by fading to the White Screen Of Death. The only fix is to remove the battery and let it sit for a bit. I have found however I can get the phone to run longer if I put it in the freezer for 15 mins, then it runs as it should until it warms up.
Sometimes it will work for half a day, other times it will fade out even before the soft reset boots up again. It really doesn't like being plugged in to charge or sync.
Now for some more background info. It did get deathly hot in the case I have because it has a clear face, is sealed, and it was sunny. Also, I started the bike when the phone was plugged in. I've heard this is bad for the charging circuit, but I'm leaning to the overheating as being the seminal event of the start of my sorrows because I've started the bike/truck many times with the phone plugged in. Did my luck run out?
What have I done, and how do I fix it?
i have had a white screen problem on my phone to it would go like this when just left on or when wanting to flash it in boot mode i have taken both sim card and memory card out and i have found that the memory care is curupted and works fine now will have to formate the memory card in order for it to work properly in the phone again

Yes, you can remove your memory card.
Just had similar problem. Possible reason: ROM update. Possible solution - ROM changed again (different) and hard reset. Hopefully everything will be ok. Until now (9 hours) - it is!

Any sugeustions? help plz
i have same problem
Even I was facing the same problem. I did hard reset couple if times and didn't find a solution. So finally I gave the phone to the service center and it seems now it's been fixed. I will ask the service guys about the actual problem and would post it here.
It may help someone.
Now I am going to try android on my phone, wish me luck.

Rajesh

Did U ask the service guy abt the screen problem
Hi!
First of all i got AOKP + Franco kernel for 2w without any problem and I didn't change any option since last week.
This morning i rebooted it, it switched off and it didn't start again.
I cannot switch one my nexus again since then. I have always a black screen, also if I try to enter in download mode or in the recovery.
I tried to connect to my computer and smt times my laptop see a omap4400 (i'm not sure about the name) but after few second it disappears.
Tomorrow I'm going to the service center... But I have a big doubt:
What the hell happened this morning?
Thanks
Remove the battery for 5 minutes and try again.
If that doesn't work,
Follow this guide:
1. Download the zip file from http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634...eeeee-1465412/, created by Legija
2. Extract zip to whatever location you're comfortable with (I used Android directory)
3. Open up Device Manager (Hold down Windows Key, press R, the type in devmgmt.msc and press OK)
4. Go to actions menu, select Add Legacy Hardware
5. Choose install manually, then have disk. Browse to where you extracted the zip, select the 'inf' file in usb_drv_windows
6. Choose OMAP, you'll get a popup if on Win 7, continue anyway (driver not signed)
7. Once completed with driver, pull battery out of phone, then plug it into USB
8. Double click omap4460_tuna_hs_pro.bat to start the process
9. Once completed, unplug from USB, put battery back in, and power-up!
10. Extra step - depending on what's been done, it may 'brick' again - suggest to do a restore or a wipe reinstall afterwards to be certain (mine bricked again next reboot)

This, if OP can't reach fastboot.

I'm having the exact same problem. I saw my phone at maybe 10% battery in the AM, said screw it and let it die, woke up this morning and plugged the phone in and nothing. No LED light, black screen, completely unresponsive. I've tried every trick in the book, and the only one that seemed to work marginally even was using a different battery, which got my phone to boot to the encryption screen, but then shut off again. It did that twice, and now both batteries are useless.
I used Legija's program to try and bring some life back to my gnex, even though it's not the international version, just in hopes of getting some of my data back (I have already started the replacement process with Verizon since the phone was insured), but I got no luck there either.
It's extremely disappointing and annoying to me that this phone survived all sorts of ROM installations (I was also using AOKP on 4.1 if someone wants to start making connections), reformatting, tweaking, almost every setting on that phone was modified by me.
Not only that but almost any software or hardware problem I did run into I could solve in maybe an hour, but I let my charge run out and the phone just up and bricks itself? Now, that's just bull****... I would be very curious as to an explanation as to WHY on earth this would happen. Very confusing.
Not to hijack the thread, but my interest here is not restoring the phone to working condition but just seeing if I can pull my data off of it. I wouldn't even be posting here had I been able to have an SD card with my gnex, which I figured was unnecessary at the time I bought it since I knew the space on their was enough for me already, and the added branding of "Nexus" brand which had me under the impression it was maybe stable enough by itself. Not a mistake I'll make again..
Is it at all possible to get the data off of my phone at this point? At least partially? I believe encryption makes it impossible but I'm rather stubborn. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

So just to be clear... You've been able to get it to boot all the way up to the encryption screen, right? If so you should be able to get into fastboot (Holding down BOTH volume rockers and the power key.) From there you could relock/unlock the bootloader to do a full factory wipe which might solve your boot issue.
As far as the data loss from the wipe, you could then try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

I was able to get it to the encryption screen with my old battery that had a little bit of charge left in it twice, but it shut itself down on me both times. So now both batteries are useless.. I took it to the Verizon store hoping they would maybe try one of their batteries, but they just called customer service and told me they're just going to replace it at this point.
I have a feeling the charging mechanism is somehow damaged, because when I did get it to the encryption screen I had it plugged into a wall outlet and it wasn't charging at all. So, I can't turn the phone on whatsoever anymore.. if I could turn it on I could solve this problem... but it simply refuses to boot. The closest I came to interfacing with it was the OMAP Flash script, which did work, but didn't fix the problem.
So maybe if I could get the phone working enough to use ADB with it I could get my data back, but not even that seems possible..

If the phone isn't charging then there's something wrong with the USB port. One way to test that would be to use a battery charger. Also, try a different cable. I've had issues with a few different cables that for whatever reason started to not fit properly in the phone.
If you're USB port has gone bad then you'll need to either A) Always use an external battery charger. B) Get a replacement. C) Fix it yourself (Good guide here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairi...+LTE)+Micro+USB+Charge+Port+&+Main+Mic/9641/1 )
