Hey everybody !!

It's not the first time i upgraded my G4... everytime I followed RISIDOROS step by step tutortial and it worked fine (didn't modify the ipl/spl) thnx for that by the way !!

Well but since i wasn't using crossbow I decided to upgrade again. This time I tried to use Farias step by step guide for upgrading G4's

I got to step 3 (Shelltool) the problem was that my device showed an error message that it couldn't open some exe file. and stopped. while the shelltool said the ROM was written fine!

so I didn't hard reset, I simply disconected the usb cable and conected it again and tried again, but Shelltool would stop responding!!

The o2 mini s .. still showed the first splash screen but got stuck there. IPL and SPL unmodified!

I thought the best way to repair the phone would be to simply put the O2 original Rom on again.

but It showed a conection problem. So i took out the battery and turned it on again... again i got stuck on the splash screen!!

When pressed the soft reset the device turned itself off but didn't start again .. so one more time I took out the battery and it turned back on and got stuck on the splash screen
so I took the battery out for the third time and tried everything to force bootloader.
camera + on button
voice + camera + soft reset
camera + soft reset
but nothing ... after taht the phone is simply dead
since the phone started 2 times I don't think it\s totally bricked, could it be that the battery is just to weak ?? It doesn't charge when I plug it via USB .. please HELP

Have you the Dockingstation? Use them to Charge it or use a other Lithium Polymere Charger. I think it isnt Bricked only a damage OS Partition. After Charging ... you must only reflash with your Provider Firmware and try again to Flash a other Rom.

For now I only have the PC usb cable...

Is there some way to connect the battery directly to a AC adaptor that produces 13 VOLTS ??
