Universal near brick - unusual problem

[INO universal]

Near bricked my universal but i don't know how.

Recently upgraded to TML89_WM61_21048_REGULAR_64MB. (Nice ROM Tomal, many thx.)

Then installed a couple of apps to try them out. (Fechit, Tenki.)

Then two days later machine froze while surfing gmail. I had to hard reset to get any change. Soft reset did nothing.

Hard reset did not solve problem though as phone is now almost completely dead. Only repsone i get is if i attempt a hard reset. I get the reset screen (0 to reset, X to continue), and even says clearing and cleard OK if i press 0, but then imediately goes dead.

Usb does not connect properly (XP, device not recognized.), and flash attempts to many different ROM have not worked. Not ROM flasher even sees version number on phone.

I hope someone has an idea on how to solve as i miss my universal. I am back to my backup phone (CECT X-one) but it is so slow, and has no wifi/keyboard/bluetooth (Activesync or a2dp.).

Thanks in advance.

can you enter bootloader? (press power+backlight+reset)

Welcome to the forum

As Tomal recommended on his thread, please do Doc format
Have you done that?

Have a deep read in the Wiki:

Good luck,

Could it be a battery problem? I recently encountered a mystery battery problem where the unit ceases as soon as it passes the flash screen, even though the battery was on charge the entire night, at first it works for a few minutes and then dies. Not only that, it simultaneously happened to 3 batteries within a day. Try, if you can, with another battery that is fully charged.

This happend once to me. Enter boot loader mode (press poweron+brightlight switch+reset sw) and do a DOC format and reflash.

Read Wiki to get familiar about DOC format and entering boot loader mode.

Also this has happened to me many times. An almost dead phone with only bootloader mode available.
Yes DOC format is ok as also re writing another ROM.
It is something like losing the boot sector of a disc as i casn understand.
M phone is a G4 1.19 radio

Thanks to all who made suggestions but unfortunately none have helped. No boot loader availlable. (no response when i push backlight, power, and reset.)

Also i have tried with three different batteries after this was suggested.

I won't give up yet though. After all it is not really dead.

Hi

Its strange but one thing or the other should work. Try with a fully charged battery.

Remove SIM and SD Card from it.
see if PC recognises the Uni.

If it does not then disconnect from USB port and try putting it in boot loader mode, actually power and backlight buttons to be pressed at the time of pushing reset switch (am sure you must be doing it, but do a bit careful... but just in case try this carefully)

best of luck
