My XDA2 has gone dead, it no longer responds to anything. what do i do to bring it back.

Whilst i was updating it, it had erased the system ready to install hte new update it came up with an error telling me to disconect the USB and then reconeect it. I did this but noticed that the phone had gone dead and wouldn't pick up on the laptop using active sync.

Is there anyway to bring the phone back. if anybody knows please help.

Thank you

what's showing on your screen? is it totally blank or is there something written like "usb version...something"? if yes or no; do a couple of hard resets...this brings back the unit to the bootloader mode. from there put it back on the cradle and as expected activesync will not do a thing. but what you do is double click on the upgrade file on your pc and from there it should start again. a couple of chaps in the forum ran into the same problem. what they did was continuously do resets (soft and hard) until the screen showed something.

don't fret, your unit just got stuck somewhere and simply needs a kick in the bum.

cheers

Maybe this can help you because it just happen to me last 2 days ago with my XDAmini.

1. Push the power and camera with the softreset pin together.
2. It will bring you to the bootloder mode. Then plug the USB sync cable to your unit.
3. Run the rom upgrade again. It will flash from there.

Hope this help.
