Hi,

I have a prb with my phone. I use the rom Viperone and i have decided to flash the kernel elementalX. After the installation, and after the boot animation, my phone shut down. I can't turn it on. When i press the power button, nothing happened exept the back and home button which twinkled..
When i plug my phone nothing happened.

I tryed to reboot my phone with fastboot :

cd c:\fastboot
fastboot-windows reboot

but i got the message : <waiting for device> and nothing happened.

Thx in advance

No i can't. I see this on a forum :

"She lives! Should anyone with same problem come across this thread in the future, I held down the power button along with holding down both volume up and volume down buttons. This took about 3 1/2 minutes; don't give up. Everything I had read before only said volume down, not sure if that made any difference. The battery needed to be reset. Thanks for all the comments, hope this helps someone in the future"

I tried it. Whe im hlding dow both volume up and down my phone boot 4 sec then he stop. I try this during 4 min always the same : Boot 4 sec, then shut down..boot 4 sec.. etc

Buttons flashing is a good sign, hold your phone sensor under a very bright light (I'm NOT kidding) and press POWER + VOL DOWN, could take 30secs or more to reboot (and you may have to try several times), when it does reboot, keep pressing VOL DOWN to enter bootloader.
Then you'll have to go to recovery (do a "fastboot erase cache" first), and flash a compatible kernel.

While it's rebooting keep holding the VOL DOWN button, so that you can enter bootloader.
