I think I bricked my vogue :'( - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

I used CoKeMaN's unlocker. I just followed the instructions in the command prompt. No errors. But when I booted the Vogue it was stuck on the boot screen. Also, I seem not to be able to access the rainbow colored screen thing to fix it.
I know this isn't making anything any easier, but I only have a 4GB memory card, which means I don't think I can fix it with the SD card.
I just really hope this can be fixed. I have no warranty on my phone

Reflash to latest stock ROM for your carrier. Then run the unlocker again. To get into the boot screen press the power button, camera button, then the soft rest button. Hope this helps.

Thanks. How do I get the computer to recognize the connection though, if I can't boot the vogue?

if you can get to the bootloader, you probably would be better buying a non HD microSD card and flash this way.
With the PC, I think (correct me if i'm mistaken) you need to fully boot the device before being able to run the default rom installer.
EDIT: You surely get a connexion when plugin while in bootloader, maybe try this fist

I can't get to the bootloader screen

Paraphrasing IMCoKeMaN's sig, it's stuck at the bootloader, not bricked.

Did you try holding the on/off button, the camera button and the reset to get in bootloader? Then the computer should recognize the connection to your pc.

As long as you can get to the boot loader screen you are fine. Your computer should recognize your vogue in the boot loader state. You are not the first person to have this issue & will not be the last.

I was stuck in the same senario also. Just make sure you hold on those buttons.

Ok, after several attempts I was able to get to the bootloader, and the computer recognizes the Vogue. So I can unlock it with CoKeMaN's unlocker when it's in bootloader mode?
Also, for future reference, no matter what I do, I will always be able to get to the bootloader, right? That can never break?

I would flash to a stock rom first from the HTC site http://www.htc.com/us/support.aspx. Then I would make sure your phone is unlocked by running CoKeMaM's unlocker and then try flashing a custom ROM.
By pressing those three buttons you will be able to get into bootloader.

[HELP] Stuck in qualcomm diagnostic mode

So while trying to get wifi working on my CM7 install I tried to install the radio update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363547
It was successful but when I reboot I get stuck in what people call "Qualcomm Diagnostics Mode." I'm not even sure of that though, when I turn it on it vibrates 3 times, no LED or anything. I've tried the following solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345273
but it doesn't work.
I have my microsd, I tried putting my old ROM on there but that didn't do anything. I don't have access to the internal storage as I can't turn on the phone. ._.
And for me turning the phone on while holding vol - NEVER worked to go into the bootloader, I'd have to reboot from the OS into the bootloader. I have a backup of all my files.
Is there any way I can recover it?
Unfortunetly rooting it voided my warranty, though I'm sure they wouldn't even know about it if I sent it to HTC?
I'm running it on virgin mobile unactivated...
EDIT: I bought the phone from ebay.

Alright I'll try that but what sucks is I tried something like that but when I hold volume down and power it would never go into the bootloader, I had to do adb reboot bootloader. (but obviously I can't do that when I can't connect to the device, maybe with the mem card?)

did you follow all the steps as described, putting out your memory card, formating, putting the file on it then continuing to follow steps, and patiently waiting ?
Yes I did all of those steps. My friend advised me to just sent it back to HTC.
(But they say that they can detect if it is rooted)

well, if you gave that a shot... i read somewhere that there is a way to go out of qualcomm diag mode, i can't find it... you just send it back to your service provider, and act dumb... hopefully they will have too much job and won't bother checking too much your phone...

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help
Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?
Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.
As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue

At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.
when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.
I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?
It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.
Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.

Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.
Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.
Sorry Dude, I can't help much either I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you
2. There is a possibility that you could "brick" or bootloop your phone. There are two types of brick: soft (recoverable) and hard (non-recoverable). With a soft brick, the phone will not boot or keeps rebooting ("bootloop"), but it can be started in bootloader mode which allows repair of the ROM. With a hard brick, the phone won't even boot into bootloader after holding the power button for 10 seconds and the phone must be returned to HTC for service.

Have you unlocked your Boot-Loader from HTC Dev? Also, you need to install a recovery tool in order to boot into recovery. If you have done only the steps mentioned in the

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.

I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless . now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.
Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.
Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.
In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.
After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.
Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:
So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you

Softbricked, locked bootloader ... HELP!!

I bought my Pixel XL (2016) used last week. Everything was perfect. Tried Android P Beta and then went back to official Oreo. The phone worked perfectly all week.
Then tonight I'm watching a YouTube video and the thing shuts off to never turn back on. I can't access recovery but the bootloader is there. The thing is it's locked and I can't allow OEM unlock cause I can't boot into Android.
When I try to boot normally or go into recovery mode there's a white flicker on top. Like it's trying to load it but can't.
It's possible that it's no longer under warranty...
Can anyone help?
Thanks :crying:

This will wipe your device. If it won't boot up, there are a ton of other things you COULD try, but without knowing what caused it to be this way it'd be fishing in the dark.
Go to this website https://developers.google.com/android/images
download Android 8.1 Oreo Factory Image (make sure Factory Images is selected in the upper left portion of the screen at the top, not OTA).
After downloading, extract the files to a folder, go into that folder and select all the items in it and copy them to wherever you have fastboot / adb installed. Make sure phone is in bootloader, then open a command prompt (or Windows Powershell in Windows 10)use Fastboot command:
fastboot flash-all.bat
If in Windows Powershell, use command:
.\fastboot flash-all.bat
If you need platform-tools (adb/fastboot) they're here

Ohh....well then you'd need to enter recovery mode, but you're saying that doesn't work?
Have you powered down the device completely, plugged it into a power source, then tried booting into bootloader mode, choosing Recovery Mode, and then once the dead android appears on the screen from recovery mode, hold down the power button and while holding that down click the Volume Up button once, then release the Power button. This should allow access to the stock recovery where you can do a factory reset.

Yeah I tried that but the dead android never appears. It reacts the same way it does when I try to boot into the system, which is just a white flicker that appears and disappears on the top of the screen. It's like it's trying to load the white screen with the Google logo but it can't.
Had you modified the system at all? Was this bare bones stock? As far as I know, nothing can touch system files without root, so recovery (boot.img) should be fine. What about overheating, that was my next question. Was it getting super hot before this happened?
edit: I found this website, with this gentleman claiming that the Nexus Root Toolkit also works for our devices in a "bricked" situation. I know nothing about it, nor have I tried it, was just looking to see if I could find anyone else with your situation and ran across this website .

Thank you! No it was not modified in any way. The only thing that happened was that I tried the P Beta (through OTA) during the weekend and flashed (through fastboot) the factory Oreo ROM then relocked the bootloader. So everything was back to factory state. Everything worked fine all week. It wasn't hot when it shut down at all.
I'll try this while I wait for Google's response to whether it's under warranty or not and keep you updated.
In the meantime, if you or anyone else has a way to just try to flash the ROM or recovery again even with the locked bootloader I'm all ears!

Ohhh ok I see. Yes, never ever relock the bootloader. In case of situations like this, it's always a good idea to leave it unlocked. Just out of curiosity, have you tried plugging it into a power source, powr it up to the boot loader screen, choose Recovery, then hold in Volume Down + Power for about 30 seconds? It should reboot it back to bootloader menu again. This sometimes works for me when nothing else does, but I have no idea why.

I'm waiting for my seller to give me the original order number (which seems like forever right now given the situation). Then Google will be able to tell me if it's still under warranty. If not then, according to the authorized repair center, it's either the battery, the port or the motherboard which means it's probably the end for this phone as prices range from less than $100 to nearly $400. :crying:

Google Pixel 3XL fastboot locked and Recovery not working

Hello guys, I just got a Pixel 3XL from somebody and I thought I could make it to work, but now I'm stucked. The phone is stucked in fastboot and the bootloader is LOCKED. I tried to unlock it using GUIDE for Google Pixel 3 XL unlock bootloader, but I cannot do this task 100% because I cannot enable OEM unlock and USB debugging since the phone is stucked in fastbood mode. Also, if I try to get into recovery mode, when I press the power button to get into recovery, the phone turns off. I ust want to make it stock.
Any idea how to solve this? Thank you
try sideloading the full OTA.

The answer is the same as in your other thread. If you cannot get into recovery mode and your bootloader is locked there is nothing you can do. The mystery is how you lost recovery with a locked bootloader... it may have been unlocked at one time and someone re-locked it?

No, nothing you can do because you cannot fastboot flash any partition when the bootloader is locked, and without a working recovery you cannot use adb to sideload an OTA. My guess is your friend at one time had the bootloader unlocked but he later locked it back before giving it to you. Once the bootloader is unlocked it should never be locked again... unless you know exactly what you are doing and have good reason to do so. If you have tried multiple times to unlock the bootloader using fastboot -and- exhausted all means of booting to recovery (you are positive you know how to get there and cannot) then there is no way to recover. Until one of these two things changes you cannot get back in. Sorry man!

You mention not being able to toggle OEM unlock or USB debugging, but are you sure they are not already toggle? Have you tried locking or unlocking the bootloader from fastboot (hopefully you can see the device on your computer when plugged in)? Your issue reminded me of another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78277194&postcount=260 where it looked like an unlock only partially worked. I assume you are not the registered owner and cannot contact Google about the issue.

Your issue reminded me of another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78277194&postcount=260 where it looked like an unlock only partially worked. I assume you are not the registered owner and cannot contact Google about the issue.

I'm not sure if they are already toggle. Yes, I've tried to lock/unlock bootloader from fastboot, but nothing. The PC sees it from device manager. No,I'm not registered.

Might be worth posting something on the Google forum. If an agent isn't checking registration, you might get some ideas. The only thing else I can think is that there may be some key combination (vol down or up and hold) when pressing the power button to get to recovery to keep it from shutting down. Good luck.

Any way to fix Bootloader ?

Dear
I unlock my HTC10 then flash TWRP recovery and PE ROM
after that I do "fastboot oem lock" ..............
now my phone can't boot anymore >.<
When I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off.
Is there are any way to fix that with out change motherboard ?

wait why did you run fastboot oem lock??
if you were wanting to lock you need to run an RUU first (for future reference)
by the "phone can't boot anymore" do you mean like nothing. completely dead? (Bricked)
you can't get to bootloader or download mode? Try holding volume up, volume power and power for a few minutes, see if does anything.
does it show charging light?
I am not experienced enough to give more details, esp about motherboard, but if can get to download or bootloader try RUU that matches the firmware on it.
(gotta be very sure about what you're doing when running commands esp. once the device is unlocked. once unlocked it's on you what you flash and run..)

Because there is a damn app only can run when the bootloader is locked... so I did that -.-. Now when I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off

which app?
also why were you trying to lock?
I can't say but it seems like it could be a pain, but I hope not!

Oh dear!
I dont like to tell you this, but you have hard bricked your phone and it cannot be fixed using software.
Locking the bootloader is ONLY for when you are on pure stock. Even having a custom recovery (like TWRP) isnt allowed even if the ROM is stock.
In locking it, you have hard-bricked it, and there isnt ANY way to recover this using software. Nobody on XDA has EVER been able to sort this one out.
Your best bet is one of two options:
1. Buy a new phone. Yeah, pain I know, but the HTC 10 is now 3.5 years old and it might be cheaper to just buy a new phone than try to fix it.
2. Get it fixed at a repair shop. I can imagine that a few local places might not be able to do it, but maybe somewhere can. It's worth an ask?
I seem to recall that using a JAVA card or something like that you might be able to fix it, but if you have locked the bootloader with a custom rom on it, then the chances are it is over for you.
Hey, don't beat yourself up too much about it; we've all done stupid things in the past. I reversed my car into a concrete post last month and it cost me a fortune to fix it!
Such is life.....

Bro, never relock the bootloader. That's just a bad idea. You most likely hard bricked your phone and there is no way back. That's not 100% for sure but if u flashed any non-htc images the bootloader will not boot it. Thats why you keep it unlocked, so it can boot unsigned images. That's why it keeps shutting off.
