Stupid me...

I bricked my G3 while updating to faria's WM6, but stupid me I had IPL/SPL at 1.xx. Now after the stupid try, I semi-bricked my Wizard, but was still able to go into the bootloader screen. So I decided to reload Cingular 8125 2.25 on it tomorrow.

Well today is tomorrow, and right when I was about to load up the factory ROM, bootloader screen and all, it shuts off. Battery isn't dead, cause yesterday it had a full charge and it wasn't running all night (semi-bricked, mind you). And now it won't come on.

Oh wait... it just came back on...

Crap, nevermind, it shut itself off again.

What's going on? It can't be bricked if every hour it decided to give me a bootloader screen to tease me for ten seconds?

If I wanted to be teased, I'd call my ex-girlfriend...

flash the stock rom when it's on, leave it connect to the usb. try a hardware key hard reset to enter bootloader screen

Got it. The problem was getting it on really. But I figured it out and got it charged. Now I got custom firmware on it. Thanks

seems like i have the same problem. the bootloader screen appears for 5 seconds and then it's gone again.
how did you manage to charge it?
