x50v wont boot even after reflash

[kangsta]

hi all,

i'm hoping someone might have some suggestions to fix my x50v. i have been given an x50v that wont turn on, so far ive

- checked the backup batt holds charge
- lock switch works
- battery cover switch works
- reflashed wm2003se rom
- reflashed wm5 A02 bootloader and rom

the reflashes will complete sucessfully but when i do the hard reset after flashing the rom it is still dead. the only key combination that will show anything on the screen is wifi+power+reset and the bootloader comes up.

does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched the forum for days looking for things to try, seems like a common problem.

Not sure if you've still got the same problem but it sounds identical to what happened to me after flashing WM5 A02. I'd successfully gone from WM2003 > WM5 A01 but after A02 it just wouldn't boot. I could still get to the bootloader but no amount of flashing got it working.

Eventually I tried flashing LennySh WM6.1 A09 just see if it would work, it didn't. Still same problem. So I gave it up for dead. Then a few weeks later, I came back to it, the charge had gone completely. Plugged it in, let it charge a bit, switched it on and bam, it began the boot process and worked just fine.

I've no idea why, I was shocked, maybe something to do with the battery dying completely. But I'd done multiple hard resets, recovery attempts all with no luck. So why it just started working I don't know. But if you've left it in a cupboard somewhere and given up on it, it might just be worth giving another try!
