I installed my first rom from the step by step guide yesterday. The phone has been having tons of problems, everything from sound not working when I start speaking, to the radio not working, to the cingular cabs not configuring... anything.

I plugged in phone to my computer's USB tonight and left it to charge and get above 50% battery so I could flash a different rom.

I came back from the bar and the phone was off. No green or yellow charge light.

I tried to turn it on and it turned on for a second and died. No lights. I tried hard resetting, loading the boot loader, removing the battery, tried a wall charger, nothing at all is working.

What the heck happened here?? How do I fix this, or diagnose this? It sounds like the battery to me, but with my first rom install a day ago it seems too coninsidental...

I installed my first rom from the step by step guide yesterday.Which ROM on what model of Kaiser and using what Radio/SPL (read the wiki further if you don't know what this means). People won't be able to help unless you provide further information. Did you hard reset the phone after the ROM flash (as per good practice)? As the flash process has no moving parts (well not in the ordinary sense), something else will now be causing your phone to not run at all although it may be related to the flash (eg battery drain issues. Can you still get the battery charging orange light when the Kaiser is plugged into a charger (after taking the battery out for a few minutes and then reinserting it)?

I guess this is usefull in that it lets newcommers know that the wiki is not intended as a hand-holding step by step guide for every single part of ROM/RADIO?SPL flashing but as a source of general info about such things (well at least thats my view).

Sounds to me too as if your battery is dead. Do you get any LED lights when connecting the wall charger?

Using ATT Tilt, Hard SPL 3.29, AthineOS latest build. No lights at all when taking battery out for 30 minutes and plugging into (non HTC) wall charger.

Update... I just got the phone to turn on, but it absolutely will not charge.

Tried USB and wall connections.

Why wouldn't the phone charge? No light comes on.

If you still have enough power left, try to flash your phone back to its original shipped ROM by following the SD FLASH METHOD (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash). If your phone still won't charge then most likely your USB is dead (at least the charging part).
