Hello Everyone,
I have HTC SPRINT TOUCH PRO 2 PHONE.
I was updating the RADIO version on my phone and after it installed the device went to REBOOT and it never opened again and it doesn't goto the boot loader. The only reaction that the phone does is when i put it to charge the red light turn on.
I have tried hard/soft Reset, and nothing have worked.
PLEASE, DOES ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED ?? OR What can I do ??
Thank you for your answer in advance.
could be a battery issue, seems like its not holding a charge. Go to a store and try a new battery?
Sorry, but it sounds like you bricked your device. I'm guessing you flashed a radio not made for your device, like a GSM radio. If you can't access the bootloader, then I'd say you probably need to get your device replaced under warranty (by going to the store you bought it from and playing dumb about why it won't work so they'll replace it) or send it to HTC and pay to get it replaced.
try to reflash back to the stock rom...download and use the sprint exe on this page to do so...http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
ive had this happen and this was the only way to get it working again
Thank you everyone for trying to help, I will try to reflash the stock ROM and hopefully it works otherwise I will send it to HTC since i dont have warranty.

I had an HTC Diamond that kept freezing so I decided to flash the new rom with same version but it stopped at 12% and went black screen(nothing)..after that I cannot power on the phone any more. I tried to get to boot mode but nothing happened...can anyone help and suggest what I need to do to fix this phone please?
If you cannot enter the bootloader mode, then the only solution is the service center... I'm afraid...
did you try remove battery and put it back on??
Ok first quetstion is, were you trying to install the offical ROM downloaded from HTC? If so, send your unit back to the service center & they should fix it for you.
On the other hand if you were trying to install a custom ROM (ie not offical) this might end up costing your money or they may refuse to fix the phone.
One question for you, if you were upgrading using a custom ROM (ie not offical), you would have been advised in the relevant topic to install a HARD SPL before attempting to flash, did you? If so what version, someone might be able to help you.
Happened the same to me a couple of months ago, it´s dead, and it means really dead, send it to service center to change mainboard.
thanks for your help...yes i did remove battery for few hours..then few days..the rom i was using was the original rom, RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced
and the warranty expired so I can't return for service..
there is a possibility of your battery being dead - any idea? do you have a wall charger? do you have an extra battery? do you have a friend with a diamond?
try another battery, or charge this one... and then try to normal start... if doesn't work go to boot loader (hope you know how to) and if still it's completely dead... service center may be the only way out
Happened to me, I was upgrading to offical Indian rom from HTC. The phone went dead rebooting again and again just after the HTC logo appears. I took it to HTC service center, but of no help. I guess they are ediots. Then I took it to a local repair shop & they made it work in 15minutes only. So dont worry get it flashed from any local repair shop.

if i'm not mistaking that is a rom for elfin devices (HTC Touch).
Maybe someone can advise you if there is anything you can do ...

Confirmed, the version of the ROM you used is not for Diamond - it is for the HTC Touch. You will have bricked your device completely by doing this... New motherboard I'm afraid.
Raphel Dead
Hi,
I have just flashed my raphel to a new ROM. All went fine and the customisation screen of the new Rom was completed and touch flo screen installed. Then I removed the battery to insert SIM and the phone just wouldn't switch on.
I tried Hard Reset from off and the secreen with the colours came up and the warning that all data will be deleted. I pressed on the up volume and it started hard reset. When phone tried to rebute it remained dead.
Can anyone help please
Joseph
i really hope u didnt flash a Diamond ROM on your Raphael...if u did, check if u can load the stock rom again...
Yup flash the stock rom...

i flashed nfsfans rom, everything went fine but when it restarted it just stays on the verizon bootscreen and wont let me do anything i think its bricked but im not really sure please help me ive tried soft resseting and removing the battery it still does the same thing i dnt know what to do
i had the same problem.. somebody said there was a fix i didnt find it, the problem was probably missing a step in using the unlocker, it asks you to unplug and replug the phone so it can close activesync, i didnt do it and ended up where you are.
i got annoyed after trying to find a fix for an hour or 2 and called verizon because i didnt buy insurance for it, luckily i was still in my year warrant the vogue comes with and they sent me a new 1, i just had to send them my broken one back
its not really bricked i dont think, but verizon couldnt get it to reset from their side so it's considered that way
ya but is obviously no under warrenty any more so what can I do to fix it????

Give us a little more info
what does the SPL in bootloader show?
what radio is showing on the 1st splash screen?
If all else fails place into bootloader and flash a shipped ROM and start over.
yeah. whitey is correct.
what bootloader did you use?
you probably used .41 or .40 unlcoker instead of 2.31.
im kind of a noob how do i find the stuff??
uhh. just go to bootloader mode (quad color screen with seriel when not plugged in and usb when plugged in via usb)
(power+camera+reset hole) then tell us what you see.
just type all of the info on the screen.
alright it says
vogu100
spl-0.36.0000
cpld-3
hmm. i would recommend you downgraded your rom+radio with a nongps rom because you used a nongps unlocker.
use a tnz one
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...RUU_signed.rar
and then update the radio using 3.42.5 or 3.42.3
-sorry can't find link to exact radio update, but you should update via sd card-
then load stock rom
then unlock with 2.31 unlocker (cokeman's)
then flash custom rom
i installed nfsfANS ROM but i only get date when i make a call it says something about athintcation
is this when you only make a call?
if so. then you call your carrier.
(for verizon its *228)
and press option 1.
idk about sprint, bell, altell. but you need to authorize your phone to make phone calls, receive sms, and use data. in order to use data/send-receive pix messages, you need to use a cab. avalaible here.

Hi guys, need some help if possible.
My phone is stuck on the bootloader screen and the up and down buttons are not working so I can choose the option to reboot the phone.
1- I was running MIUI for a while now and I was just listening to Music and suddenly the phone just rebooted and got stuck on the bootloader screen, this is what I tried so far, any help will be appreciated.
2- I tried removing the battery and booting into recovery and the Up and Down button still don't work so I couldn't pick up the option to reboot phone.
3- I ran the PB31IMG Stock zip to go back to stock and after doing the update when is time for the phone to reboot, instead of rebooting it goes back to the bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
If anybody know the command for the SDK to reboot the phone, I think that'll help too.
If the +/- volume buttons don't work at all, I think you're screwed. I don't know of another way to navigate the fastboot screen
Do you have S-off?
Can you load an ruu thru the pc? Not sure if that will help or not.

Guys thanks, I took my phone to Verizon to get a replacement since the phone was Bricked but after I order my replacement the freaking phone turned on again, now I have a choice to make, keep my original phone or keep the Refurbished one they're sending me, thanks again.
I did have S-off.
Well most likely the one you got sent to you is an SLCD model, and you probably have an AMOLED. IMO I would keep the AMOLED, but i'm not sure that you can keep it. I think you have to send in your original.
And since you can turn it on, make sure to flash S-ON and flash it back to stock.

Thanks, I already flash the phone back to stock, I think the rep said I'll be getting the same phone with the AMOLED screen since that's what I got, we'll see when I get the phone tomorrow.
In the mean I'm gonna play with the original one, rooted again and see what happens after I install another Rom.
well i guess i keeep screwing my self over from one problem to another

Can you give us a more thorough explanation please. Don't understand properly.

I tried to unlock the bootloader on my device a little over a week ago - bricked it completely.
Had updated HBOOT and everything went fine - 'success' message appeared, etc.... Then my handset died and it wouldn't switch back on; it just flashed on and off repeatedly when powered on and I couldn't stop it, unless I pulled the battery. Couldn't access bootloader, couldn't do anything.
Took it to the local Three shop and they wouldn't touch it. So, I chanced my luck with HTC and was upfront about what had happened, i.e. I'd started the bootloader unlock process using their own HTC Dev software.
I've just got the 'phone back and they had to replace the motherboard. Haven't charged me for picking it up, via UPS, the repair OR sending it back to me, also via UPS.
I had hoped they'd ship back with the bootloader unlocked but they haven't! Doh.
Ah well, can't complain. HTC have definitely earned my gratitude, though, and I'll no doubt stick with them in future. I've just got to remove all the crappy pre-loaded software again.
so i basically have a bricked phone damn i needed it only phone i have n probably will have for awhile i had so much important #'s , notes , ext... im clueless to either tell HTC the truth or just buy another android phone idk :/
any ideas?? is it bricked or not i just need help why isn anyone paying this post any attention .. where is all the pros?

Hello Im new here and Im noob in this stuff.I want to root my Htc wildfire S but im scared that Im going to brick it .So I have a few questions.
If mobile is bricked is it possible to restore old options.(is it possible to save it)
After few ROMS is it possible to restore everything like in begging if I dont like it.
Do you lose your guarantee after rooting.
Please someone help
Recovery
Take out your battery, put it back in Hold volume button down and press power button, does this do anything?

You haven't even given details. Did you root? Custom ROM?
Try flashing an RUU.
My experience
This weekend I bricked my phone almost also.
Just installed a new version of my ROM to test and then it hanged or so.
When trying power on (normally and with volume down), nothing happened and I got the 3 vibrates.
I removed my SD card and then the phone would boot again
I really hope I don't get that anymore
BTW: my SD card is really old, around 2 years or more (so that may be the cause)
Format your SD card, then see if that works

Hey guys my verizon g4 is stuck in bootloop and im not rooted, i cant get the past the lg boot screen, it stays on their for around 20 seconds goes black and back to lg screen.
I can get into recovery but none of the options do anything ive tried safe mode, usb debug mode i even tried factory reset they all just go back to the lg screen.
I was just watching a video on facebook when it froze restarted and now im stuck, ive been restarting it all day and i was able to get it to boot up twice but it froze again within seconds any help is appreciated
it might be the defective motherboard issue that people are having. you could try reflashing the system, but if that doesn't work you probably need a new motherboard/phone
Not an answer, but an experience.
I have an HTC ONE M8, VZW. I s-offed it and rooted it right when I got it. I began adding some of my google apps and it did what your G4 is doing, stuck on VZW screen.
Since I was s-off I was able to get a recovery in and ready. I was able to get a custom rom onto the phones external sd. I flashed it with the recovery and the flash took, no more vzw screen lock up.
Your experience makes me wonder what VZW is doing to force bootloops on unlocked or rooted phones with their retail products. Paranoid maybe, but I can see VZW deliberately adding code to stick it to rooted users.....................................I say this still knowing that many have rooted the current run of devices without issues...........................
luck
i read about the problems with the motherboard going bad, im assuming thats what happened to mine. Lg sent me a replacement under warranty
Update!
i called verizon they sending me a replacement. just to let you know i flashed 13B KDZ but the bootloop was still there i let my phone on and finally turned on quickly i did a factory reset and booted up normal and its working again. still im gonna send it back. just sharing my experience maybe for other people might work too.

What is the 13B KDZ and how did you flash it? Im having same exact issue.
My G4 tanked over the weekend. I was browsing news and the phone locked up, then it shut off and turned back on. It just bootloops now. If I stick it in the freeze for a few minutes, sometimes it will boot to the OS where it starts to optimize the apps. It will get through about 20 before it shuts off and starts the bootloop process again. I haven't even been able to get the download mode to stay on, and when it does enter download mode, it is not detected by the computer. I think my problem is the motherboard. I'm just hoping that they aren't able to figure out I had it rooted!
I'm still waiting to hear back from Verizon about a replacement.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can flash a stock rom back on this thing to try to save my tail? I am betting not since the phone won't stay on long enough to even flash the rom.

My phone was rooted and got into the bootloop also and I sent it in as is and nothing happened. So I think it would be fine to send it without the stock rom.

They mailed me a new one, no battery, no back. I put my battery, sim card, sd card, and back on the new phone, fired it up. Rolled it back, rooted it, then I mailed the old one back.
Personally, I love this phone, but I think I will be getting a nexus next.
