Though this isn't quite "epidemic" it does appear the several folks have
come forward with the same problem as I'm experiencing. At the moment I
can start my neo uboot using the "two finger salute" with the USB cable
disconnected, but as soon as I plug it in to my desktop (well, within
about 10 seconds) it powers down. Makes it impossible to flash a new
set of software. It's as if as soon as the neo enumerates on the USB
host, it commits suicide by powering down. If I do not plug in the USB,
the uboot screen will stay up until it times out. I can continue
cursoring up and down as long as I want. It does NOT shut down by itself.
Unfortunately the last time this happened was during a flash update of
the kernel, so I can't boot ANYTHING other than the uboot screen at the
moment.
Connecting to the debug board doesn't seem to help any more.
Dead hardware? What should I look for?
How do I get past this point without buying a new phone?
And assuming I get this fixed, how do I keep it from happening again?
