brandnew OSF not booting, back button shining red, can't enter bootloader

[Guest theInquisitor]

Hello world,

One of my Swiss OSFs freezes on boot. After switching it on it will only show the Android logo and the back button shines red.

Powering it up with the volume-up button hold down doesn't have any effect - at least it won't be detected as a USB device when connecting it to a computer.

Also I noted, that the device gets pretty warm after few minutes when left in this frozen state.

I haven't done anything to the device - it froze right out of the box.

I guess there's no resuce, is there?

Thanks.

Mine did that when I first got it: I took the battery out (for about 5 mins). Then charged it for 10 mins. Removed the SD, and it booted.

So, did Steven's trick work for you?

[Guest Schejtan]

did you remove the sd after charging or before?
