Help... *Sigh* - HTC Excalibur

I've been hacking dash' for a long time now... my friend gave me his phone to hack...
Thought it was easy...
I mustv'e messed something up... now every time i boot my device up it gets stuck on the screen with three colors... red, green and blue one
i have try hard resseting it - two soft keys power button...
i have tried leaving the battery out... no good
any help would be greatly appreciated

the tri color screen is the bootloader. you need to use that to flash back to a stock rom, then try to flash again.

because I am stuck on this screen my phone will not connect to the computer and sync... what should I do?

Turn the damn thing off.
Press and hold in the camera button.
After 10 secs or so, plug in your USB cable.
You can now install an Official, (from your provider), ROM available at a Sticky near you.
Once an official ROM is back on, you can continue with your evil plans.
You have to use an OFFICIAL ROM first.

thanks for that help... i did as i was told, advance to a white screen where it said "checking sd contents" still not being able to connect to my computer via activesync so i can run the original factory rom

Remove your SD card prior to flashing. It's really a very simple process man, so if it's not working for you, you're making a rather minor mistake. Just follow the information in the stickies. You may even find a video on Youtube of someone flashing from the bootloader. Oh, and if you'd read the stickies, you'd know that you don't need to connect via activesync when in bootloader mode. The PC should automatically connect and install whatever driver it needs to communicate with your phone so you can flash.

Phone is freezing while starting

Hello,
I've just installed HardSPL succesfully, after that I wanted to install MightyRom 4.6, so I did. That went succesfully too according to my computer. Now when i want to switch the phone on, it keeps hanging with the T-Mobile picture on it. I've done a hard reset for several times and also a few soft resets. I also took my battery out for a few minutes, but when I switch it on, the same thing happens.
Please help me out of this !
Ps. sorry for my bad english !
for taking a little stress from your brain take an other rom - orig. rom from your provider.....
(go bootloder from pda; if your orig. rom only one *.exe-file you have to extract (winzip/winrar) it before flashing; connect usb (bootloader screen change from serial to usb); than flash)
but before you do this, how long you have to wait and look to your screen?
it can be sometimes a very long time until a windows-screen is coming.
if your pda gets hot than dont wait and flash asap new rom.
after 5 minutes waiting without any changes you have to flash an other rom.
I think I may have the same problem with my Diamond. I also installed MightyRom 4.6. Now, when I power up my phone, I get through the RGB stage to a white backdrop with instructions in blue to push volume button up for a reboot to manufacturers settings or push volume button down to reboot to manufacturers settings and wipe the movinand....after I select either one, when it gets to the HTC logo (HTC Diamond in white on a black background), it freezes. My pc won't recognise my phone when I plug it in...
Do I now have a really gorgeous paperweight or can I hold my Diamond to my ear again? Insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
By the way, XDA Dev rocks. Thanks to all who made this site possible.
Brick or no brick ?
Oh, I forgot to mention that my phone was a non-branded HTC running a Duttys rom. I did not want to get a DOPOD Diamond from China Mobile as they cost more and I dunno if they put Big Brother software in there.

do you have it in the boot loader before you plug it in to your pc?
Brickety brick, brick, brick...
My phone does not recognize my pc and vice versa. I tried plugging the phone in before booting it up. I tried while booting up. I tried at the white screen stage...nothing...help...
It also doesn't stay at the RGB screen for long...maybe 2 seconds...
Please break it to me gently if I have killed my HTC...I don't want to start drinking again...
...
My phone is a GSM Diamond. MightyRom 4.6 is for CDMA. If I combine the two(like I did) then am I screwed?
Can someone please give me some insight, please? I have been scouring the net for 3 days non stop now and my eyes are going to explode...
What is Jtag and can your average home user use it? Is it hardware or software...?
Cobbs: I assume when you say bootloader you mean something other than the RGB screen,,,cos as I stated in my first post, my phone does not stop on the RGB screen...

Newbie flashed rom and now no Bootloader

Hello,
After i used unrevoked i tried to solve the WIFI problem by flashing LEEDROID 2.3. This handed me in an reboot loop and so i tried to flash a stock rom by teppic74.
Now my Desire wont start anymore and I dont even have acces to the Bootloader.
When I turn on the Phone i just see a picture of a box with an arrow coming out and pointing at the Android mascott in front of it.
Thanks for your help
Laberkopf
i think it means that you have no rom in.
can you give some info about your phone. locked/unlocked, branded/unbrande. firmware it came with. radio. etc. thisngs that you did that ended you in the state that you now are.

Actually i dint write down these things..
The phone was an OLED version and had no SIM/Netlock or branding.
After flashing the Rooted Stock rom it ended up like this.
if you turn phone off by removing battery and then press back button+power on, does it show anything?
or press vol down+power on.
Nope. Just the same icon as before.
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
download this and run from pc to see if RUU identifies phone.
another question, if you connect to pc does it require drivers?
Okay something strange happend.. The phone starts to boot..
I dont know why but it seems that it just needed a Windows pc and some time while connected to the Pc. This is strange.
Anyway thanks for your help
ok. hope it continues to work. lol

Need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW TOTAL BRICK thanks anyway

Ok im stuck, gave this phone to my girlfriend when I got my new phone, anyway it started having random reboots and was getting stuck on the splash screen, it was getting more regular so I told her I would put a new rom on, anyway I tried installing the stock 2.2 froyo with root busybox ect, and I got stuck in a boot loop, so I tried doing a full wipe again and by accident after that I let it boot up, which I though it wouldn't but anyway it did, I just got on to the home screen and it rebooted again and was stuck on the splash screen, but now I cant access recovery, I can however get in to the hboot menu, and when selecting the recovery my phone vibrate and sticks at the spalsh screen, and goes no further.
In the past I have changed the splash screen to a photo but was about 5 month ago, dont know if this has somthing to do with the splash screen loop????
To be honest I have lost most knowledge of the desire as I have an LGo2X now, have I just forgetten somthing?????
ANY HELP APPRECIATED
but my phone is pretty much bricked up at the min as I cant do anything with it
I also have S-OFF
Well, the sure-fire way to solve this is to run a RUU and then unrevoked again. Someone else might know of a better way though.

I guess you can still access fastboot? If yes, flash new recovery with it. No need to get back to stock rom and then run unrevoked again, imho.

First be sure you have fastboot USB driver (search XDA if you don't).
Then get the .img file for the recovery of your choice (usually either CWMR or AmonRA)
Then get your phone to fastboot mode, it should change to fastboot USB
Finally, from your PC type the following:
fastboot flash recovery imagefilename.img
where imagefilename.img is the name of the imagefile you selected.
note: it is easiest to have the .img file in the same folder as fastbook.
good luck

Also I have had the phone on charge all night, I tried to do an ruu throught windows installer but that stoppped me and said the battery is less than 30% so cannot continue, even thought I know the battery is full.
Ok now I have a HUGGGGGEEEE problem hehehe ok I finally got the RUU to run, and it got to about 80% and said error 110 FILE OPEN ERROR, I exited the program and shut down the phone then tried to restart it and NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL wont turn on not even a power light when charging.
Is it BRICKED???
And will I get away with taking it back to the shop as it's still under warranty????
from what I seen it was the Radio V2 that failed the update everthing else said it was OK

Stuck on Samsung screen

I saw a couple people had the same issue that im now having but none of there solutions solved my problem
i wiped my GS3 for ATT tried to go back to a stock with root rom and when it rebooted it now just hangs at the samsung logo at boot tried re-flashing via odin with no luck also tried flashing a CWM.tar since i cant get into stock or CWM recovery to flash from there is there something im missing i know its late and maybe my brain isnt working like it should
Solved the problem myself.....and rather then just say i figured it out ill share how i did this since i watched countless videos and read endless amounts of threads and since none of them helped mem
First also try t put your phone into stock recovery mode and wipe your phone then flash this should take care of things if it doesnt try what i tried below
and i hope this can help someone else out there who has the same problem that i had all you have to do is the following i did this with obviously an AT&T model should work with others but as always try at your own risk.....
First make sure your battery has a charge even if its stuck on the boot screen its still charging....
then download KIES from samsung update it and make sure you have the latest version.
Next plug in your phone if your stuck at the samsung screen your computer will recognize your phone still at least it did with mine.
Once your done with the above open up KIES goto the top and then TOOLS and Firmware upgrade click on that enter your phone model (ATT SGH-I747) i dont get this part but next it will ask you for your SN and for some reason it doesnt recognize the SN use your IMEI
Now it should ask you a couple questions tell you its wiping your device and you will lose everything etc.....but then it will download the latest FW and begin to install everything and in about 20-25 mins everything will be back to stock
Nvm.. misread.
I'm stuck too...and Kies can't find the phone. Anyone have any other ideas? I can't even get into recovery...only download mode.

Okay, this brought the menu up for me, but I removed the data,cache, and reset the phone and it is still not working. Also, my phone just goes black after the Galaxy Samsung S3 logo, but the blue light in the top left is still on. Can anyone help me out?
P.S. Sorry for reviving this thread if it is too old.
Edit: I should also mention that I can still hear the sound of the phone booting up (the sound that typically occurs when the phone is on the white loading screen). However, the screen is black at this point.

Ah, sorry about not providing enough information. Please keep in mind that I am very inexperienced and I may get some things incorrect just due to that. To my understanding, I went to try and root my phone, but beforehand I used the guides below to get my phone ready for the root (yes I do realize at this point that using these outdated guides was a clear mistake and I should have come to XDA instead). I flashed my phone to the stock kernel using the file that site provided, and then encountered the problem above. In my panic I have tried to restore the phone through several methods, but every time I try to load anything onto it with Odin, it doesn't complete until my phone restarts (and my phone won't boot up completely) so I can't get the pass message. Interestingly enough I did manage to get clockwork mod installed as that is what shows up when I try a secure boot using the methods that you described.
Ah, I am unfortunately not allowed to post links. The guides were off of Android Authority.
If there is any other information needed to help me please let me know and I will do my best to obtain it.

Sounds like you need to clear your cache partition and clear your dalvik cache. There are several guides on this site to help you. Choose the one that is most appropriate to what you are trying to do and follow it EXACTLY. There is one to start. Follow it from the beginning.

When nothing else works start over from search. You cab use download mode? First make sure you got right drivers as that can mess up Odin. Use one in my Sig if you want. Then flag stock recovery with root someone nice will part a link to it I'm on my phone can't do it. Well fix your phone

Okay now I am running into another problem. I have tried downloading the drivers from many different places and they always seem to be correctly downloaded. That being said, I can't install the drivers after I plug my phone into the computer (after downloading and installing Samsung USB drivers). Therefore, I cannot access my phone storage to put the root zip file on it. I was still able to download the custom recovery.
Now I have gone to a different computer, and the drivers seem to install correctly, but the phone still does not appear under my computer.
Edit: I do already have a root zip file on my phone from my earlier attempt, but I install it and my phone still doesn't load up. Also, Odin still recognizes the phone.
Edit 2: Windows says that the drivers cannot recognize the device. Edit 3: "Hardware ID Missing"

Sorry, I really need help for this. I can't install the MTP drivers even through using some of the tips on this site. That seems to be the problem with me accessing the phones storage from my computer. Does anyone have an ideas for what else I could do? Should I just take it to the store and hope they can fix it?

[Q] Phone probably bricked !

So, I had my full cautious guts. I backed up everything needed and so. I decided I could have some fun customizing my phone and getting a "Custom Rom".
So, I got a TWRP recovery, made a Nandroid backup. Then flashed RR 5.5.6 (After wiping Data/System/Dalvik/Cache), then flashed GAPPS. IT WAS ALL OKAY, until I pressed "reboot". BOOM Phone dies.
Well, if disconnected from PC cable, it only vibrates once when I keep holding power button. But it doesn't even blink LED or show anything up.
If connected to PC cable, it begins "automatically" to blink RED 3 TIMES, then it turns into blue "assuming it's charging" and stays like that, but nothing happens after that. If I keep pressing the power button alone nothing happens, but if I press it with UP volume key "down does nothing", 2 things happen. One: The PC detects a reconnecting of the phone, Two: the same procedure happens again "RED 3 TIMES then Blue". NOTHING SHOWS UP AT ALL.
NOTE: My recovery was installed from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647480
Help please
Also please tell me if this a SOFT or HARD brick? So I can know where to search for help.
UPDATE: Now sometimes my phone instead of blinking 3 times red then blue just gives all LED colors then doesn't do anything.

To get it to power off you hold the volume up and power button until it vibrates three times. It must be off before you can flash boot any recovery.
Download and install Sony PC companion, start the support zone, start Phone/Tablet software update, click on repair my tablet. Follow the instructions. It will ask you to have the phone off then put the USB jack in while holding the volume down. Follow the instruction exactly.
I'm sure that if the lights are flashing then the phone is ok, it just needs the boot sector repairing.
The other way to repair it is with the flashtool, and this is the way forward if you want to get it ready for a custom rom, but there is a lot of reading to do
Did you check that your phone can be unlocked,?
It doesn't sound like you unlocked it, and RR rom is CM based so it was always going to end in tears until you'd unlocked the bootloader.
XperienceD has compiled a great thread on how to here
I nearly made the same mistake. If you come from a Samasung or similar where all you have to do is root the phone and flash, the Sony can be a bit fiddly, there's a whole other process to go through.
Don't panic, it will work again, and don't flame Nuts recovery thread because you didn't read up on how to do it right.

First of all, thank you a lot of comforting me.
I actually read your comment and currently following the PC companion method. About "turning it off" it only worked (gave vibrations) when the phone was connected to PC through cable, otherwise nothing happens. Yes it did give me 3 quick vibrations. I am waiting now for the firmware to be downloaded, let's hope it work.
Yes, sir. I did NOT unlock my bootloader, I was afraid to lose my DRM keys even after backing them up. But it seems I have lost them anyways, lol.
I will give a look about that thread you gave me the link to. Once again thanks for comforting me. I will let you know what happens.
Cheers.

I tried this, and it's not working at all. It shows the "prepare" screen, then I hold the voldown button and connect it, then a window flashes "appears and then disappears for 1 second" as if it's attempting to reconnect. "Check attachments".
SONY PC COMPANION still eats my connection though, the update progress bar has a lot of bugs.
Help ?

Oops. I should have replied to you on this thread.
Anyway, check out my reply on NUT's thread.
It includes instructions on how to use flashtool to flash back to stock.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
