Have you used the reset hole under the headphone socket. Push once then push once more after 60 seconds.?

[jimsta1]

yes tried that,follow your instructions and all that happened was the internal lights came on,and thats it,even tried the bootloader again and still nothing,i can't even use active sync to flast the rom again.please help its doing my head in now.

Do you mean an XDA 2? Because I've just done the same thing. And am (or have been)tearing my hair out too.
Then having got it into boot loader mode (which is tricky) and then cradled it I tried getting active sync 4 to find it but it couldn't. In despair I did bootload mode again and cradled it (grey screen says 'USB' now) and ran (and I can't encourage you to do this of course since it is illegal probably) a beta of mobile 2005. Now this found the mobile! And it's ...at 98% installed.

Watch this space...

Damn

O.K
(it's worth saying this all started because my pc crashed during an upgrade to the legitimate 2003 final rom for XDA 11. )
I couldn't get this installation to restart (I think because I expected active sync to say, 'yes, found the device' before re-installing - and it doesn't seem to need to do this. Or maybe not. Perhaps I'd just stuffed up getting it n boot loader mode? Who knows. Anyhow. Having another go at putting the legit rom upgrade on now. Fingers crossed & much praying.

I suspect that for you (and possibly for me also - the jury is still out on my machine) we may need to say hello to our local phone shop in the morning. But that's not the end of the world - tho' it'll probably cost a few £.

Note to self: have a look at other massively helpful forums on this site before doing dumb stuff! There are smart and well-informed people who have all the answers. (notably RAGO in the "stuck in o2 Splash screen forum")

Yippee

(I send apologies for posting all this in what I now realise is totally the wrong forum. (Newbie!)

Adios!

I had just the same problems,
I removed the battery & Sim
I held in the power button and reset button at the same time
but kept them both pressed for 1 min!

I Put the battery & sim back and it all seemed to reset.

Fluke?

not to sure yet but i had no problems
after.
