Hi a need your help my Lephone is dead.

is there vibration response after power on?
or can the light turn on in the bottom gesture area?
also there is a light on the side magic button.

if the answer is no, take off the battery and leave it for a while. Then try again. They use a tool called fastboot.exe

Somebody had succeed after wrongly flash w101 rom into w100.

Las caracterisitcas del problema eran las siguientes:

Yo por equivocacion habia puesto el firmware del 3gw101 en mi 3gw100.
Despues del error la pantalla no prendia y solo quedaba encendida el LED de gestos. Cuando iniciaba vibraba.

Solucion en MAC:

Descargar Fastboot.

encender el telefono con el boton de la camara presionado.
Cuando vibre, dejar de apretar el boton de encendido y dejar presionado el boton de la camara durante 10 segundos.

Conectar el Lephone a la MAC

Copiar el archivo fastboot en la raiz.

Copiar la carpeta image en la raiz.

Abrir una Terminal

escribir:

cd /

./fastboot-mac devices


./fastboot-mac flash boot image/boot.img


./fastboot-mac flash system image/system.img


./fastboot-mac flash userdata image/userdata.img


./fastboot-mac reboot


y listo!!!

Hello najid, if the volume react it can mean that it boot up normally but the screen is broken, did it accidentally fall down ?

IF it is a screen defect, you will have to change it
you can buy another one here : http://www.mobino1.com/product-2185.html

BUT before that did you try to increase or decrease brightness of the screen ? if not maybe you can retry to updating your phone ? you can also see if the phone is recognized by your computer...

Does it react when you tap the screen ?

I really hope you will be able to restore it...

Unfortunately for you, it seems like Fastboot is the only thing that will save your phone, so it's time to roll up your sleeves and dig into the command line. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. You can give a person Fastboot commands but you can't make them type them in.

First, read up on Fastboot and what it actually does:
Fastboot - Android Wiki

artus88 has the solution and his commands are solid according to the Fastboot manpages but they're for the OSX version of Fastboot. You'll need to change them a bit based on what OS you're using. Is it Windows, Linux, or OSX? You'll also need the Flashboot binaries installed on your computer.

Here's a guide that seems more straightforward:
