My current problem is with my MDA bought from eBay.
Short version of the problem: Brought back to life a completely lifeless MDA (by removing camera flashlight and vibrator unit), successfully flashed it but flashed it one too many times so it is stuck in bootloader mode. Now MDA cannot connect to USB without freezing to a white screen. After putting back the camera flashlight and vibrator unit, MDA is back to being lifeless. What do you think the problem is? Faulty mainboard or a MDA flashed one too many times. Can we declare this MDA being a paperweight? Many thanks for any help and suggestions!!
Long version of the problem:
It began as a non-booting, non-charging, lifeless MDA. I brought it back to life momentarily by taking out the camera flashlight and vibrator unit. I was able to successfully flash the unit and was able to boot the phone using Wizard Love's ROM. I reassembled the camera flashlight and vibrator unit and the MDA would not turn on. At this point I was relieved the problem was only this.. but it's not.
Even with the successful flashing, the unit would function fine (it was even able to charge and connect with activesync) until I tried to install a program, or watch streaming videos. The result would be a freeze and then the screen would fade to white. I would have to take out the battery and wait a few seconds and try again.
Unfortunately, being a flashing addict I have flashed it one too many times and not taking caution (as this unit will occasionally fail and the screen will turn white) the last time I attempted flashing, the unit froze after a certain percentage of flashing. After NOT carefully reading the many threads on how to revive a bricked phone, I tried to do an SD flash using a SD backup from my other working MDA. I thought it flashed successfully.. but no boot occurred. I was able to reflash using Wizard Love's ROM and then flash the T-mobile stock 2.26 ROM. At this point I did not learn my lesson and I attempted to flash Touch No Evil ROM. The result was a freeze during flashing process and screen fading to white.
At this point the phone will enter bootloader mode when powered on, when hard-reset is done, or when camera is held and USB plugged in (it does show USB at the bottom left corner and the PC recognizes it)
What it fails to do is stay alive. It will freeze and screen fades to white when the ROM Update utility tries to connect to it. And will freeze and fade to white upon USB reconnection right after, therefore I have to remove the battery for 10 seconds and try again. And this is the current status of my MDA.
