My HTC Touch is BRICKED!

I'm so f***** angry now!
My Touch just found out, that it would be cool if it killed it self. I can't turn it on longer. i can't hard-reset it. i can't send it to service, since i got the Blue Touch ROM installed. Am i f***** or what?
if not, explane me if or how i can fix it.
PS. I'm a Mac user, so... yeah.. that might do things harder for me...

Thanx! But... The Touch did feel for living a little while longer now. It startet it self(!) and the phone is good as new now... I don't belive in Santa Claus anymore, but i think i belive in him now..!

Can you try the power button + reset + record button (not camera) if the bootloader mode will come out.

Do you see the flash light upon press on the on/off button?

also the same There's no red light power bro..

My phone got like his phone... i can't turn on .. can't do everything.. so it like die...so we need held.. so anybody can held us?

Hi there,
if when you plug the power led in there is no lights, and if the battery is fully charged then you will probably have to jtag it, it's very simple and if you look at wiki then you will also see, dead atom section with pictures and diagrams, including the software to flash the phone and hopefully get it working for you.

if my pda phone was dead coz eror upgrade firmware .. so can be back again suck as before eror upgrade??

shift does not startup please help

hello
my shift does not startup when i shutdown it
snapvue work but another side does not even htc start screen does not come i mean nothing just black screen
it wont start until i plug out the battery for about 20 minute so
when put it back its start again
so can any one help me
me shift is new i buy it before 3 day
please help........

i have these prog on it
autocad , photoshop , kmplayer
, the htc update for side bar and start the readyboost only .

and now even when plug the battery vista side
show nothing (black screen ) even the under screen light just the first light
is on another does not
snapvue work normal

Have you tried erasing hard disk?
With all that programs you might have run out of space..

thanks for reply but am sure am not out of space there is alot of
space and how can i delete the hard if i cant open the vista
even the screen with htc mark does not show only black
i start feeling that shift is not good device in use i think its
tooooo sensitive
or maybe only my device
what about you guys ?

If you are not even getting the HTC boot screen on Vista side it sounds as if you have a serious hardware problem.
Have you done any hardware modifications?
If not then I urge you to return the device under Warranty.

Why not using Fn + F3 at boot time to reinstall vista?

how can i do that if the boot time does not come
only black screen
and thanks guy for reply
by the way does the shift made in china ?

You don't even see the bios messages?

I will try to imagine this can be a stupid situation. Just try this:
Push the power button for 10 seconds and see if something happens.
After that, try again to push the power button.
If it works and you see the bios, press FN+F3 and don't install too much thinks on your device.

Then RMA it.

sorry pof but what you mean ? RMA?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_Merchandise_Authorization

but it start some time

If it was your car and it only run sometimes, wouldn't you return it then? Why should you act differently with a computer?? Of course you should RMA it.

And in the first post says the shift is only 3 days old, so he could claim DOA (Dead On Arrival) and get a new device.

ok
thanks pof and other guy who reply
regard ....
by the way pof how i can install xp on shift
without cd

I have the same problem but with white screento bleck screen
also I can't enter to the bios manager (Fn+F3) the only screen is the blank white screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2319538#post2319538

do you have a Warranty
if you have then return it on the Warranty
i think this is your only option
oh my god now am sure about bad made for shift

Do a Hard Reset again

can't reset it
!!

Take the battery out. Pop it back in. Hold down both volume up and down and tap the power button (don't hold the power button down though). You should then boot into a menu where you can do a hard reset.
On a similar note though I used to look after some old Windows CE devices that would do the same thing if you clicked too far away from the cross, never tried it on my HD though!

there's no solution to skip align screen ??

When you hard reset the device, everything is wiped on device apart from OS, so you need to align screen at start to be able to use device once automatic setup has completed.
There is another option as Throys latest roms, R6 & R7 has a complete automatic setup and there is no align screen. You could always try one of these

Try using the tool located at this thread, maybe it helps.

worked on my htc touch HD . tnx

Help, my HD2 won't start after installing and removing banana game.

Hi, could you please help. I installed the banana game then realised that the game wasn't compatible with HD2 as the game was showin g only on 3/4 of the screen and thye sense was unstable. I removed the app and the device switched offf. Sinced the I haven't been able to turn it on all i get is the initial black screen wity the pink ring. It won't resen using up down method and task 29 wont work as it is unable to connect. can anyone help....

what "up down method" its not up then down lol if you want to hard reset turn youre phone off press and hold up and down volume buttons and turn the phone on you should get a grey screen then follow instructions, and task 29 will work if you can get in bootloader but why would you want to wipe the mobile if you dont no what you doing?
and the banana game doesnt really give us much insight does it lol

Hi Demon,
I am glad you find this funny but here I am in tears re: the situation. I meant vol up and down for hard reset but its not working bfore turn on. I chose the task 29 as I am desperate and willing to reset to default setting. I did try vol up and down before turning on my mobile and still not working. See below url for the game downloaded but I didn't downloaded from this site I used the omarket. thanks

I wasnt laughing mate, so can you get in bootloader?? (press and hold volume down while turning the phone on keep holding till you get a coloured screen)is you battery charged?

No I can't all i am getting is the RGD screen...
Thanks

what do you mean RGD screen, can you post a pic if you have a camera

try taking the battery cover off, and then press the vol up and vol down together, carefully. Make sure you feel the contact as you press it. I struggled at the beginning to make it wiork. the button isn't really meant to bend at both ends, so it feels like you have them both pressed, but dont.
Once you are confident that both ends are pressed, only then tap and release power to start the phone.
ALl being well, 5 or so seconds later the three coloured screen should come up.
Fingers x'd

I tried again and you are right just a tap on the power as before i think i was pressing too hard on the power button ....now I have a gray screen with the following:
This operation will delete all your personal data ......
What should I do now to avoid losing all data...
Thanks

ok, now dont take this the wrong way mate because everyone has done this, but you must be doing it wrong or not catching the buttons right, if you have someone with you, you're easiest option would be turn your phone on as normal take your battery cover off, press and hold both volume buttons and keep holding them, get someone to press the red button near the batter with a pin, that way you have hold of both volume buttons, keep holding them while the phone is restarting and you should get a different screen come up,
like i said its quite tricky to get it the first time.
you cant not loose anything this is youre only option im affriad, but youre phone will work again

hehe, its a bit of a three handed job. I usualy use a thumb on each vol button, and my top lip to press power, lol.
I think sadly your data is gone. I can't think of a way to save it if the phone wont boot.
Plus, if this banana thing did mess your phone up, you want to be sure its gone.
(A good lesson in syncing your data regularly )
If the hard reset doesn't work, then my next steps would be to task29 from bootloader (volume down and power, dont touch vol up) followed by flashing your stock rom over usb.
