[Q] Nokia Lumia 800 Dead...or is it?

[mfurse]

Hi everyone, I have been playing with a Nokia Lumia UK model for a few months now and everything has been great until last Saturday...when I plucked it from my pocket and it wouldn't do anything...it wouldn't come on, reboot or do anything.

I guess it might have something to do with the minimum battery indication problem and it not holding a charge so I tried charging all night and have tried plugging it and out, switching it on and off, holding the power button, doing a hard reset to no avail.

If I have it connected to the charger and I hold the power button down, upon release the device will buzz and then about 2 mins later it will buzz again and thats it.

I thenhad the idea to plug it into my PC and hold the power button and one of two things will happen - it will buzz and then show up as a USB Input Device with the ID USB\VID_045E&PID_0773&REV_0664&ML02 or if I do a hard reset holding the camera button, volume button and power button it will buzz and shows up on my PC as removable storage and a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. If I browse the volume in the disk management console I can see the partition structure of the device...

I have been struggling to get anything from my lovely Lumia and wondered if anyone had an idea I could try...would deleting one of the partitions force it to do a ROM reset or something to bring it back to life?

I'm not sure this will work, but it might. However, if it does, it will completely wipe your phone and put it back to factory settings.

Download Nokia Care Suite 5.0 (2011.51.2.63048), link here: http://mir.cr/T38IZ2V1

Then use Nokia Data Package Manager (download here: http://www.seidea.com/category/data-package-manager/) to download an RM-801 firmware that is the same product code as your phone.

Then follow recovery procedure here: http://www.seidea.com/2011/12/28/nokia-care-suite-5-0-2011-51-2-63048/

Good luck.

Depending on your technical knowledge you could try to reflash a Rom on Linux or visit a Nokia Care Point...

Lumia 800 fisical partition lost

Yes i took it the a nokia care center. But i didn't know a could do it myself. How is that possible? I'm gonna have to pay R$150 ( about $80) to get that fixed here in Brasil and to make things worst the nokia care point didn't garatied that it's going to work. They said that they don't have the tools yet to fix this phone. How can i make the computer tecognize my Lumia again? do i use the same method? volume up and plug the usb in? Thank you..

Unfortunately, from what I gather from the unlocked bootloader thread, it seems that if you formatted the removable storage it's basically impossible to recover the phone with any of the current tools so I think you guys are out of luck

@mfurse just plug it to the power source (USB , socket , it doesn't matter ) and keep the phone warm!!!!
It will "jump start" it
I did that twice for my girlfriend's phone and it works
I just plugged it to my USB and left it on my overheated laptop keyboard )))
