Hi
I have had my vox for about a year now, and yesterday I installed SmartToolKit on it. I was then browsing my contacts, when the phone suddenly freezed. Then I pushed the "turn off button" on the top of the phone, but nothing happened. Then I had to remove the battery. When i put in the battery again the phone wouldn't turn on anymore, and it still wont. I have tried to hard reset it, but nothing happens. When I try to turn on the phone, the LED lights for about a second, and then it goes out. The display doesn't show anything, and the phone doesn't vibrate. I have tried to take out the memorycard and simcard, but it does not help. What is wrong, and what can I do ? |

Have you tried turning the phone on with the power adapter connected (and the battery disconnected).
See if you can get it into bootloader mode (or whatever it's called). Hold down the Camera button and then plug in a usb cable (that's attached to a computer). Good to figure out if it's a hardware or software problem. --------------------  |

Where did you get your vox from (network or htc direct?) -------------------- |

I updated to version 1.34.402.1 I think. Do you know what I can do about it now? |

I think it is worth giving the updater (flash utility) another try, maybe something went wrong in the update. I'll see if I can flash mine from bootloader mode. -------------------- |

Ok, it does work. Download the flash utility (ROM Updater). Plug your phone as above (camera button+usb) and then run the flash utility. It will of course wipe your phone but hopefully it'll get you back and working.

Don't worry about that, without an activesync connection it doesn't display. Click Next
If you get an actual error, post it back -------------------- |

Did you actually get an error running the ROM update utility? What was it?
You only need the above if you want to flash an unofficial/cooked ROM (they're prob on xda developers though) -------------------- |

It still wont turn on. |

@64r0n - have you actually run the RUU? Like Furby says, it should work, if it doesn't then post the error.

If a new ROM hasn't fixed it then it does sound like a hardware problem, I can't think of anything else it could be. Sorry.
