HELP!! TP2 Verizon CDMA bricked

fren17 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2010, 10:36 AM

can someone please help me?

i was updating to energy rom when my TP2 died.

this is not my first time to flash my rom. i tried many roms but this time it killed my TP2 :'(

here's what i did.

-battery 100% fully charged
-ran windows mobile device center and connected my TP2
-executed task29 with no problems
-entered bootloader
-executed energy rom
it loaded the rom 100% and bam! the phone shuts off.

i didn't touched it while it was loading the rom.
now it will not turn on or even boot on bootloader it is totally dead.
i tried pressing all the buttons, hard reset, soft reset, reinserted the battery, changed the battery, plugged into USB not detected, plugged into charger no light.. no luck nothing happens no light or whatever. totally dead.

i have only one observation though, the battery heats up a little bit as if your charging it when it's inserted.

can someone please help me? is my TP2 dead for good?

Take the battery out for at least a few minutes.
Then replace it and imediately press and hold the volume down button and while holding volume down press and hold the power button until you see bootloader.
Then flash your shipped rom.
If bootloader doesn't show then I am afraid you have a brick.

Hold the volume down button and while holding volume down press and hold the power button until you see bootloader. If the Bootloader does not appear is time for a new phone.. good luck!
