Post by: Lawley on May 06, 2008, 11:48:51 am
I had my phone in the cupboard for like 6 months, i tried to use it the other day but theres no life left in it and when i plug the charger in nothing happens at all, i tried 2 different chargers nothing happens is it likely its just my battery that died or is it something more serious?

It could be that your battery is dead dead dead or even leaked - so get it out fast and try with some else... If no then who knows what happened :S

Its never ever been flashed, i found this forum yesterday and want to flash it though :P, and the battery is in mint condition no sign of acid anywhere on the battery or in the phone


edit: I ordered a battery yesterday (received 2 of this morning them for some reason xD), it still has the exact same problem no life in the phone at all even when i plug in the charger,  but now when i hold the *+# key and plug in the usb it recognises the phone on my computer, is it possible to do anything with this?

I spent all yesterday trawling though about 500 forum posts learning, and managed to flash it to the R373_G_0E.30.42R mp then to the motohell mp with the factory charge on the new battery, and its all working fine :DDD,and now i can charge up my original battery so i have 3 now, its a bit weird though having a total software meltdown, having just left it in a cupboard.

so now its all working i can just make a full back up so if it breaks again i can restore it and it will fix any problems?

I have problem. I just flashing my rokr. I forgot that i used elf. After bootscreen, my rokr blank.
So, i flash again with backup in boot loader. But after that, come sig error, the battery has low.
Actually, before i flash my rokr, i charged that until full.

Now, what i must do???  :'(
