My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
I upgraded from 2.51.1 to 3.4.2-117, and the phone lags, seems to me that it is because of the google sync. Someone posted the very same problem and said that factory reset solved his problem.
My problem is that the phone does not do factory reset, in Privacy I press the erase button and nothing happens.
I tried to boot into recovery, but I can't get into it. The droid comes up but upon touching the lower right corner nothing happens.
When i try to boot with vol up and down same time, the phone boots into safe mode.
How shall I get into recovery so I could do a wipe? The phone is basically unuseable now because of the lags and freezes
Hey mate! Don't give up. When you see the droid in the center of the lcd just push vol+ and vol- at once. You'll get into recovery mode. )))
thx dude, i figured it out "accidentaly"
Everyone was writing on the net that the recovery boot is up and down the same time instead of the old method of power & volume -.
So, when I got to the droid, started to push every possible button in every possible variation and I got in.
since then I learned that the vol up and down is after power & vol -, not instead.
Hey guys!
Now this happened for some time ago because i switched phone to my blackberry in anger over the brick of the Desire, and i can't remember exactly this happened!
I think i rooted it and then the screen suddently went blank when i started it.
Now i searched the web for looooong time, and also some threads in here, to find my golden answer - but nothing hat helped yet. But i got a wierd feeling in my stomach that i'm doing something wrong.
So since i can't do it myself i decided to wright to you, and hope that helps!
My HTC Desire is not branded.- at least im pretty sure it isn't!! There is no place it's physically branded. And it's bought in Denmark, and i don't think we've got branded phones here as in UK and USA
I've tried this guide because i saw some people had succes with it:
QUOTE''
You don't need to root or do anything unusual in order to apply the FroYo update, you only need that for custom recovery. It's not impossible to do with a broken screen, just do this:
1. Make sure the update.zip file is on your goldcard and correctly named.
2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.
3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery. The phone will vibrate briefly.
5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.
6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.
7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.'' QUOTE END.
But nothing happens.
And i also tried Unrevoked3, but neither did that helped, it got stock at ''Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work)''
I would really appreciate if you would take your time to help me today! Because i really want my HTC Desire back, because it is a really sweet phone after all
I know you guys are much more wiser to this than me, so i hope you got at magical form to solve this out.
So... when you boot holding the vol down key what happens?
Well the tricky part about it is that i can't see anything! But if i go into boot (atleast i think i do) i can push VOL- and then Power button, and then it vibrates briefly, so i think it's going in to recovery.
Right, try this...
Download this RUU (2.29.405.5):
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Turn the phone off (remove the battery to be sure) and turn it on holding the BACK button. Hold back for about 5-10 seconds to be sure you're in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and assuming the drivers are installed wait a further 20 seconds
Then run the RUU. If you're unbranded it will install and should get you back up and running. If it completes and you still can't see anything the screen is dead and will need replacing
So what happens when you turn it on normally, vibrates and then you can't see anything? Maybe try this thread.
@EddyOS
Thank you!
I'm going to try the FASTBOOT right now! - i have slow internet, so i assume it's gonna take while to download the RUU - but i'll response the results here as quick as i can.
@TheGhost1233
Nothing happens, but i can see that there is light in the screen, because it turns slightly light-darker.
Also when i powered up the phone i can lock it up with my fingers and still use my touch, so it's not the ''touch'' function that there is broken.
touch is seperate to the screen anyway, lets hope its not a hardware fault and can be fixed! post your results
I'm trying with another RUU i have - while im downloading the on you've linked to - 8RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed is the one i'm trying with right now.
When i start the desire with holder down Volume (DOWN) and Power button for 5 seconds, and then plug the phone into USB there comes an jingle on my computer(which always appears when connecting any phone) but then it wont find more.
I can't see the device in ''My computer'' ?
And i get the ERROR [170] Connecting Error?
That's an old RUU so use the one I linked to
This is what i'm doing now:
Volume- and power in 5 seconds.
Plug the USB cable to the phone. (Now i can hear ''dy-dy'' from my computer, which means that my computer has detected a hardware. BUT i can't find the phone's SD Card in ''My computer'' - should i could do this?
But in my Applications i can find it under ''Special applications'' - i think i will translate i too - as ''Android 1.0''.
Now i run the RUU which you've linked to, but then i geat Connectin Error 170.
hmm?
You should be holding BACK, not volume down, when you turn it on as you need to be in FASTBOOT not HBOOT to run an RUU
Lol okay, i feel like a morron now, sorry for not have seen this.
But i still get the error 170, usb connection error!
Do i need to install HTC Sync? I've uninstalled it for the sake of unrevoked3.
And is there another way to do this? Over the phone exclusively maybe - if my USB connection fails all the time.
No you don't need HTC Sync. Sounds like you've USB-bricked the phone. You could try extracting out the PB99IMG.zip from the RUU and flash it that way but as you can't see what you're doing it's hard
And how can i see which HBOOT i got? Just want to check regarding to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
Haven't a clue, doens't matter as the RUU I posted is the newest one so will work regardless
Oh, okay.
Well i'm trying to flash PB99IMG now. I'm just hoping im doing it right allthough i can't see anything.
I'm doing as following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucBs9RVGL0w
You don't flash it like a custom ROM. You get the PB99IMG.zip from the ROM, copy it to the root of the SD card and then turn on into HBOOT. The phone will then find it and ask if you want to flash it - say yes and that's it!
Oh okay. Just from the ROM you've linked to me?
And can you remember how to say yes, just power button?
Normally it says press up for to continue but I can't remember off the top of my head
EDIT: Yep, volume up to start
Thanks mate, i'll keep on trying various of thing.
Okay, so for the past couple of days I have been having problems and I was wondering if anyone can help. I rooted my phone with Cyanoginger and it had been working fine for the last few months. I tried to turn my phone on yesterday and it simply vibrated and no screen came on. I decided to charge it and try again today. I turned it on and the screen got stuck on the mytouch logo. For the next times i tried to reboot it, this happened again, before it stopped showing anything on the screen all together. I tried to access the boot menu by pressing volume down then power with no result. Not even a vibrate from the phone. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the phone, or if I should just give up on it.
Thanks a lot, Kevin.
Try pressing back+power to reach the bootloader, then from there get into recovery menu and load clockwork mod recovery.
Then flash cyanoginger again without wiping and then just wipe cache and dalvick-cache
Should boot up after 5-15 min
But did you flash a radio or spl/hboot or try s-off but it failed?
back+power didn't work. and for the last thing you said i have no clue what you are trying to say, so if you could please explain it a little better I might understand. thanks, Kevin.
lol that's because its not back+power
LMAO
Do this..
Turn your phone on by pressing the following:
Power+Volume DOWN+Camera button.
You will enter a screen, now select recovery by using the VOLUME and POWER keys and enjoy.
This morning I tried to flash Blackout ICS Incredible. I am currently stuck on stuck green logo with white backgroud forever. I am using CWM touch recovery. I can not get to cwm, bootloader or Hboot menu. Only way i can reboot is to take out the battery. Once I put the battery in and let it boot, it goes back to logo screen and gets stuck. Then I took out the battery again and put it back it and press power button while pressing down vol- button, and it goes back to same logo screen and stuck. Again if i take out the battery and put it back it, and if I press the power button while pressing down the vol+ button, the phone vibrates 3 times and goes blank(dark) with battery indicator light blinking(i am not sure if that is battery light).
Any help would be appreciate. I am trying to connect to adb or fastboot, but it does not connect to the phone yet.
Pull the battery, wait five minutes.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button. Don't let go. Wait.... wait, should go into recovery.
Full wipe.
Format data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
Restore a back up.
Then read how to get that rom working. Been posted too many times as for me to repeat it. Check the thread somewhere below yours, the title of the thread I believe is the same as the rom, answer is there.

Just saw the HBoot screen but lost it. What I did was, took out the battery, sdcard, SIM. Replace the battery but not the cover of the battery. Then I hit power and volume(plus/minus) button, the HBoot menu came up, but because the batter cover was not placed, the menu was lost when I did not hold the phone tight, meaning batter got loose. Now I am trying to get back to HBoot menu again after replace battery and cover but to no avail. I still have sdcard, SIM out of the phone. I think there is some combination of keys you've to press coming out from cold boot vs. not. will keep on trying unless someone already knows.

That is common flashing that rom. Choose full wipe in aroma installer even if you did it manually. When the flash is done, don't choose to reboot with aroma installer...DO IT MANUALLY from recovery!!...that should solve it...:good:
The same happened to me and found that solution in their thread.

I was able to get to HBoot, choose recovery, came up with CWM touch, did the wipe data/app, delvic, cache, did format /data, /* all the mentioned other than /sdcard. Then went to install from sdcard and choose that Blackout rom. went through the installer but at the end chose not to reboot from the installer as suggested. Then came back to CWM touch menu and did the reboot from there. It stuck on that logo screen again for 5 minutes. Now again took out the battery for few minutes, and want to go back to HBoot, but could not. Do I have to take out SDCARD as well, Do not think so but not sure. And why do we have to take out battery for so long, any idea, taking battery out for a minute isn't enough?
5 minutes just in case.
You missed one step. Wipe from aroma as well.

Should work without battery pull as long as you power off. But when it doesn't, battery pull.
Just volume down, the power, both pressed till it turns on.
Oh, and fastboot unchecked
Edit: if it stll doesnt work, could be a bad download.

If that doesn't work this straight booted bricked phone when nothing else would. Took 2 months of searching but I got it working within 5 minutes. It's from a thunderbolt forum but I think the commands are the same except for the img name.http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/480350-easier-way-flash-pg05img-files.htmli was stuck with hboot s-on, no recovery whatsoever, security warning, no sd card, NOTHING.

After monkeying around with this ROM for a day, it was actually problem with CWM recovery. It looks like this ROM is not compatible with this recovery. I replaced cwm with 4ext recovery and voila I was able to flash this new ROM. Thank you guys so much for helping out. This community is really great to be part of.

I had the same problem after unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev. After a lot of searching, it seems that the HTC process keeps the boot partition locked from recovery but not from fastboot.
I was able to get around this by unzipping the Rom and flashing boot.IMG using fastboot and then flashing the Rom again.
