hello,
friend of mine bring to me one MDA Compact with the following symptoms
-the unit do not power on - when insert bat. -just sound "PUK" is heard
-when try enter boot mode - same sound "PUK"
-hard reset /soft reset not possible too again sound... "PUK"

all that happen after using xda2unlock, he try to unlock network lock
the unit is from T-Mobile, and he said so: "on screen was shown xda2unlock.. then software start to work...but seems not success becouse i waited much time and only .................................................. ... was shown on screen, then i removed the device from cable and pull out bat"

any chance to alive it? to enter boot mode somehow via hardware modification?
or any idea what can be wrong with that unit?
thanks

Typically you need to contact your operator to get a PUK code. I think it is a sim lock. try removing the sim card.

@mitchello
LOL! I think that 'PUK' was the sound that came out from the unit, not a SIM Puk request !! :)

@dsimka
By the way, are you able to reset the unit to Bootloader Mode (Power+camera+reset) ? If yes you may want to try to reflash the unit with the original or a newly released ROM. That *should* solve your problem.

Cheers.

MDA compact work now...
the problems was that back panel was not closed

seems if battery panel not closed - unit does not power on

simple, but ...

Muahahahahahaha :)

Just like a problem with computer, when it does not turn on and shows black screen. The solution - plug in the power cable :)

It can sometimes be that simple.

This swf is quite funny, and sooooo true!!!
