I had been running stock on my factory refurb device I got in Sept and thought it's time to look at running a 8.x ROM - downloaded stock, Pixel Dust, TWRP 3.2.0. Flashed stock, did enough setup to enable USB, fastboot the twrp.img, installed the twrp zip - and I can't recall now clearly, as it was last night, but I think at that point I restarted to recovery and then adb pushed the PD zip to the Download folder, then rebooted. The screen never came back on. I tried a few things last night and no change, called Google, got told i was just past warranty long enough for them not to be able to help me. This morning for ****s and giggles I hit the power button and I see the battery icon flash on, for maybe 2-3 seconds and then shuts off. The only other thing I've seen is a red light one time while plugging it into the computer to see if I could see it with fastboot or adb during that 2-3 second battery image.. No go.

Not sure where to go next, last night I thought it might be a dead system board, now I'm confused.
Thanks

Boot into the invisible bootloader. Terminal or command console type "fastboot continue" that's the only thing I can think of to help. GL
Thanks - it turns on, shows the battery icon, then turns off. Not much I can do.. I'm not sure if I screwed up and killed the bootloader or not - took it to a repair shop to see what they say. I've never not been able to resurrect a phone since I've started messing with ROMs in.. must have been 2006? (Cingular 8125)

Oh well, I have a backup Vernee Mix 2 that I guess I'll use for a bit and maybe wait until the next Google phone is out in the fall

Thanks
