wizard wont turn on after o2 rom update

[daveparki]

i have been updating and trying different roms over the last couple of days, i decided last night to revert back to o2 xda mini s original rom downloaded from o2, uploaded the wizard-love rom then started the updsate as instructed, followed the instructions and it installed, however when i soft reset during the 3 second customisation period, the device shows no sign of life, and wont turn on............................................i would like to know if i have bricked my phone, or there could be other reasons, before i go to the expense of getting repaired.

the only info on the device i can remember was i had the wizard-love rom installed before the upgrade and it is a G4 device and i am gethering it is(was)CID locked.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance someone/anyone can give

I think the o2 rom you were trying to load contains IPL/SPL. On a G4 this could mean a bricked phone. Still, I think I've heard people using their carriers rom on their G4 without problems? Could someone confirm this? I always take out the IPL and SPL and recook the rom just to make sure.

You don't even get to the IPL/SPL screen? You could try putting it onto the wallcharger for serveral hours and try again. Good luck!

i hear you and thanks for reply, only tried that rom as it is the only o2 rom and actually says it is the factory one for my phone, so must admit , presumed it was compatible....................while i am writing does anyone know of a way of reviving this problem, even if it means a price,

just to update, no ipl/spl screen or life at all , tried the wallgharge but nothing as yet, regards

are you getting any response from the phone at all? if not leave the battery out for at least two hours then put battery back in and just charge from the wall without turning on the device for at least an hour. if it still doesnt turn on whatsoever its bricked!
if thats the case then do as i did last year when i accidently bricked mine and claim that you lost your phone to your insurance

good luck
