Alright so a friend of mine wanted me to upgrade his phone for him to the new radio and all that stuff.

I tried run the official installer but I got an error that the battery wasn't at least 50 percent.

I left it charging overnight, came this morning to see a red light on the device. It won't power on at all. If it's plugged into the USB on my XP system, windows finds a new "Data Interface" device.

Tried doin the resets with holding the camera and power button and all that with no luck.

I've flashed both my phone and my girlfriend's in the past without anything like this going on.. obviously since I didn't get any kind of flash actualy going, I don't think that had anything to do with it.

I should also add that I put his battery into my phone and it works fine and shows 100% charge. When I put my battery in his phone, still nothing.

Anyone know what do with a phone in this condition?

Also, my friend hadn't activated his sprint phone yet, he got the phone brand new from ebay, and had it for about a month or so, but had an overdue sprint bill he had to pay before he could activate it.. so if he took it to the store would they replace it there for him even if it was never activated?

Thanks for any help.
