I was using no2chems 5067 kitchen when all of a sudden the phone froze and when i rebooted it was like the OS had nothing in it. When i clicked on start, nothing was there. i couldn't even check text messages. I flashed to the brand new release 3.56 and it was working but was crappy as all stock roms are. i then cooked a new 5067 in the kitchen and flashed it. rom kept hanging etc and wouldn't boot properly. i did hard reset everything. it finally booted and i got to windows but after a minute of setting it up it froze and wouldn't do anything. It kept saying no radio, or i would have to hard reset and then it would start over again. I came home and flashed a stock 3.49. it finished the install then froze on boot. I hard reseted it and bam, now i got a black screen with nothing. i plug it into usb and i get a red light. I can't turn on the phone or get it into bootloader to save my life. I'm pretty sure this thing is toast. Hopefully my phone insurance will cover it. Its definitely bricked right? What'd I do wrong?

What happens when you try to get into the bootloader, the power + camera button one?

unfortunately nothing. the phone responds to nothing. even tried removing battery and reinstalling

A red light means your battery is dead. Try charging it for a while then reflash a stock rom to start. Then from there try a custom.

it won't charge. i only get a red light when i put it on the charger or on the usb. I'll leave it on the charger for awhile even though the light's red but i dunno.

You may want to consider using someone else's battery to see if it is a faulty battery. I know it would be odd to have it happen so coincidently but stranger things have happened.

They dont check bootloader but good idea to Run relocker to put stock bootloader on your phone.

That's what it does normally. After a while the light should switch to amber. At that point you should be able to turn the device on.

I had that happen when I took out my battery and it wasn't seated properly when I put it back in, (red light when "charging")

Take your battery back out, make sure that the battery's contacts are making a good connection. Tap on it, etc..

But yeah, if there is a steady red light while the charger is plugged in, it's telling you that it doesn't "see" a battery installed.

Hope that helps, and hope it's something simple like that. Good luck.
