I just rooted my HTC Desire and installed CM7 on it (loved it on my HTC Legend). But suddenly today, after I turned Wifi on, it started rebooting all the time, couldn't do anything to stop it. I thought "Hey, there was the radio flash thing in the tutorial that I didn't do yet, I'll try that out" so I flashed the radio. Then I chose reboot system, but it just booted to a logo with an android coming out of a trash can, and looked kinda stuck there. So I took out the battery and plugged back in. Now if I try to turn it on, it'll just vibrate 7 times - no picture or anything. Also there's no LED when I plug it to the charger.
I had those 7 vibrates too.
Happened after i flashed the cm7 hboot over my stock hboot while trying to enter recovery. After i re-flashed my recovery using fastboot, everything worked again. What happens if you try to power up while holding down vol- ? Did you use fastboot or your phones recovery mode to install the radio?
I am not able to start in recovery or anything. I tried vol. down + power and back + power and no matter what I try, it just vibrates 7 times. I used the recovery mode to install the radio.
You could try to connect your phone via usb and check if fastboot discovers your device. If yes, flash hboot and recovery using fastboot. If not, well... i dont have a clue. Sorry :/
Computer discovers nothing when I plug in the phone.
Bad news when u pulled battery u interrupt the process n u now have a bricked device I would b very surprised if u managed to do anything

For the record to help some of you out who ended up here Googling: I had a similar issue. My HTC Desire SV did not boot, and when charging, only had an orange flashing light, and the phone vibrated 7 times. I did 2 things that got it back up:
1) left the phone off for say 10 minutes (I read about overheating issues in general, although the phone did not feel hot).
2) removed the battery for a couple of minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: for step 2: make sure to have the battery removed long enough to drain internal charge. I removed and installed the battery in a second or so at first, and still the phone did not boot. After leaving out the battery long enough, it booted again. It appears to me that the issue in my case was a rather big internal charge capacity which kept internal state (memory and/or CPU?) from booting. Hope this helps...
Hey guy's, well first off I just want to say I'm a big fan of android and especially xda-developers and all the helpful people on this site. I'm having a pretty big issue, one that I searched for a solution for 2 days now using the search function on here as well as google and many others available and I'm in a corner. I have an EVO 4G I bought from someone off craigslist and everything was fine for 3 weeks then 3 days ago the phone died and i plugged it in with no led light showing the charging status. I thought perhaps it was a bad battery so I bought another battery and with the little life the new battery has it turned on and got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G splash screen.
So I pulled the battery out and re-installed and booted into the bootloader menu only to find out more bad news. When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader menu it goes to the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and stays there forever. I have tried to clear storage, in which it clears and says everything is ok reboots into the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and gets stuck again, So I'm really concerned now and I cant find a solution anywhere I've tried several different methods to flash amon RA recovery, I downloaded the zip file and changed the name accordingly so the bootloader menu would automatically recognize it and it said installed successfully but still to no avail, and I do not believe I am able to manually flash another recovery method because I cannot get into usb debuggine mode from the phone so I'm not sure how adb would even begin to recognise the phone.......... someone for love of all things fancy please help me!!!! I'm struggling!!! lol
Also this is what appears on my bootloader menu:
supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

If you have a card reader,you should be able to download a Rom,put it in the root of your sd card,rename it pc36img.zip,put it back in your phone and flash it through the bootloader.

I have already attempted this method twice but I'll give it another shot
Try running RUU update. Download here:
OTA 3.70

Link grabbed from PPCGEEKS user KarlE
this will revert you back to android 2.2, but this should fix your problem.

downloaded the file and executed it in windows and it reboots the phone from bootloader to bootloader again but phone never comes back on...
Do this, in this order...
Charge battery to full (since there's no way for you to tell how much charge there is you might as well be sure it's full...)
Boot to Bootloader
Select FASTBOOT with volume up/down
Press Power button to go into FASTBOOT
Plug phone in to PC
Run RUU.

The phone doesn't charge in bootloader, turn the phone off and leave it on the charger when it's OFF until the light goes green, then start over.

Then it's possibly a bad battery or simply a brick now, because if you can't charge it normally, doing anything to get it working again is futile... If you have another battery try that, or if you can take it to a shop and try one of their batteries in it... That's all I can think of doing...

Well I don't think its a complete brick just yet the usb port can't be bad if fastboot reads the pc when connected and vice versa, however I went to frys and bought a universal battery charger and am charging the battery to full right now. I'll let you know something soon thanks for all your help so far.
Ok so I let the battery charge, re-installed and ran the RUU executable file it flashed and installed successfully but is at the same place still gets stuck on htc evo 4g screen
What Rom and kernel were you on when you discovered it at white screen.
Also, did you just find it at the splash screen? or did it random reboot or just not boot?

Stock as far as I know and the phone died and when i went to recharge it and discovered the white splash screen
Ok I'm really stuck nothing is working for me the RUU ran and flashed properly just to get back stuck at the htc evo 4g screen again I was reading somewhere else that it needs to read S-ON on bootloader to flash the OTA RUU is this correct? and if so how can I change it with unrevoked if I cant get adb to recognize the device?
HELP!!
I bricked my phone after Flashing the Jdroid Exodized rom.
it end up with Bootloop/HTC logo.
My Fault is Before Flashing the rom, my Battery is 10%....
I've Done All the XDA Threads on how to Fix this.
-erasing cache from fastboot mode
-relocking the bootloader(its relocked now)
-Flashing RUU(i can't flash RUU becoz of my Low battery it needs 30%.)
My problem is, How can i Charge my Phone Up to 30%... And how would i know if it is Charging?
coz everytime i plug in my devices USB or Charge, the red light is going on and off,steady,sometimes its Gone...
Im confused.
Please help me T____T
Godbless
Once it gets to the HTC logo and freezes it should charge there.
Are you still able to get this far?
Have a read of this, see if anything helps.

Try flashing the RUU from Fastboot rather than HBOOT, worked for me.
You may need to put stock recovery on and then lock the bootloader first.
If you're using the latest CWM then turn the phone off and charge it

You have to unlock bootloader again by the looks of it.
why don't charge your phone, while it's off? You'll see a red light burning.. when it's green, it's 100%..
than try the RUU..

Boot into recovery, if it's 5.8.3.1 then it's the latest one so just charge the phone when turned off
Try not to panic!!! I went through something similar last week. It should charge there. Leave it be for 3 or 4 hours to charge.
I cant help that much as this is all new to me as well but Im sure some of the smart and nice people of these forums will guide you in the right direction. They certainly helped me out.

That was my thought exactly. Why don't you let it turn off / let the battery die and then charge?

Are you using the HTC charger as it requires 1 amp to charge properly. I found this out when I used my Nokia charger and the light flashed but when I used my HTC one the light stayed on and charged quicker.

i already searched a lot, but i didn't find anything useful so i post here hoping that someone can help me. i really need my phone so before send it to htc service i have to try to get it back working.
simply yesterday my phone went off because of low battery. when i got back home i try to charge it, but nothing happened. so i tried using pc in order to see if something happen, and led started to blink slow (orange led). so i turned it on, and it worked. then i was using it (connected to the wall charger) and it frozed, at 9% battery. so i tried to restart it (by pressing power and vol down), but nothing happened... it was completely dead, i tried:
-wall-charger;
-pc-usb;
-change different charger/different usb cables);
-i left it the night connected to the charger);
-no adb, and obviously i can't get the phone in recovery/bootloader/fastboot...
i was on hboot 1.3x... don't remember which number cause i updated the hboot a few days ago. i was on viper rom and i was using the tripndroid kernel based on official nvidia sources (really like their works )
hoping that someone can help me
however in the next days i will send it back to htc but i need to try something cause i really need my phone in those days and i have no replacement. will htc repair my phone for free? (remember that i unlocked it)
Crazy thing. U can't put the phone in bootloader mod?

That means your phone is broken. It needs a new motherboard.
Nobody has recovered from that. Some people have managed to get the phone working after APX, but it seems to go back to APX mode.

hi, i've my samsung GIO rooted, and a cm7.2 rom running, but yesterday i got a error message in android, that the proces "android" stuck.
my phone didnt response on anything, so i take my battery out, and my phone turned off, and u put my battery back.
but my phone didnt start, i've tried many things:
charge , didnt charge, the led dont light up
take simcard and SD out, no effect, still no response
tried to start in recovery, no response
take battery out for 1 hour, and put back in, no response
put a gio battery in from a friend, no response
so my phone does nothing, no startup, no recovery menu, my charge light dont shine.
is this a hard brick?
can i solve this with a usb JIG?
can i solve this with odin?
i dont think odin or JIG will work, cause my charge light dont blink, so i guess my phone dont see the JIG.
i hope you can help me.

yup u got hardbrick. you gotta go to service center and say that u were upgrading with kies and this happen. dont tell about root or cwm or custom rom. though ur not giving us full information what u did that made this happen
thank you for your fast response.
i really dont know why i got this brick. it's the phone of my brother, and i've rooted + installed cm7.2 for him.
and he said:
i was watching a youtube movie, when i get a error message: "android process stuck".
and his phone didnt response so he put out the battery and placed it back, and then he got the hard brick.
JIGG, or jtagbox dont fix my brick?
i hope my brother has warranty.
If your phone does not respond at all, it's hardbricked.
Only solution is to take it to the service center...

but my brother put his battery inside today, and the gio starts in download mode.
so im now looking on the internet for a good odin tutorial, so i can clean the phone, and flash a rom.
btw, most times i cant start the phone, neither in download mode, but sometimes, when de phone has been turned of for a few hours, it starts in download mode (not in normal mode, only download mode).
i let you know when im having succes with odin.

Before you do that remember that you need to have at least haft of the battery charged. Find a way to do that. Gio's battery fits to Galaxy Ace, maybe you find one to charge the battery. Good luck! :good:

tnx for saying, but my dad has a gio to, so that isnt the problem. tnx
my gio also got hardbricked and i brought it to warranty telling them that i was upgrading trough kies and in less then 1 week it was repaired
my brothers gio is working now .
my brother told me that his gio did nothing, but now i've tried it by myself
and the fact was that my brother didnt know the key combination to get in download mode. -_-
and the battery was empty, so he was right the phone did nothing -_-
after charge the battery i've flashed giopro, and then flashed jellybread 2.5 throught recovery.
