[Q] Possible Brick? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

please close this thread, problem solved

Was your battery low during the RUU you did?
Also, by recovery do me you mean hboot? Can you get to hboot?

it probably was low, yes. and by recovery i do mean hboot. i can't get to anything at this point, like i said, it vibrates, but the screen itself won't come on, so i have no idea if its doing anything

Hmm... That's a wierd one I have no idea- Usually the deal is if you can get to Hboot, you can figure something out, but the screen is not turning on... No idea man sorry =(
Hope someone else can help you-

well thank you for the interest, i'm really hoping someone can figure it out!

Try the volume down and power button when turning it on. That should get you to hboot. And you can get to recovery from there

not if its an slcd, I think you mightve forgot to install drivers for slcd before rooting?
I think you need to battery pull after you get the vibrate after trying to turn it on...than after u put the batt back in hold vol dwn and pwr til it gets to hboot then post back and let us know what happened

People really need to read and pay attention to what they are flashing. Sounds like you went back to 2.1 which the Slcd was never meant for thus your current screen issue. The phone is turning on but the drivers for the display are not there.

This kid did the same thing. You can try, like he did, to flash the correct ruu through hboot but without seeing the screen. You'll have to us timing and hope it works out. If you would like to try this....

Rename to PB31IMG and you know the rest. This is your best chance.

I have this same problem, no screen so I cant see what Im doing. What worked for you?

If you have an slcd screen there are extra steps you need to take to get both clockwork and any rom to work. I believe a kernel flash will allow to boot the roms. Which kernel. Idk but it needs contain the slcd driver to work.
Is your an slcd?
Sent from Conical .06

Yes I have the slcd, I am getting into hboot and i have the pb file but the screen is black so i cant see what Im doing. After I hboot, it sits for about 5 minutes then vibrates, a few minutes later, the buttons light up and the phone is on, I still cant see anything but the volume, 4 bottom buttons are working.

Strange Brick

Hey Guys..
I have a Desire here in my Hands with a strange type of Brick.. (at least one I've never seen before) ..
It just does not react to anything at all. The battery is charged and I tested with another cell to be sure that is not the trivial cause.
No Bootloader, No HTC Logo, No reactions at all..
Did happen while flashing a Froyo 2.2 Rom + Radio + App2SD (from the xda forums) via ClockworkMod Recovery but I wasn't there to witness the actual Flash.
After flashing the device hung desperately in a screen with the robot in front of a box with an arrow .. looked like unpacking or so, but wasn't doing anything at all for at least half an hour.
Then battery removed -> Brick.
Anyone got any Idea?

I suspect you removed the battery whilst it was flashing the radio. This is insta-brick territory and as far as I'm aware there is no cure other than sending it in to HTC.

Dave
If you can access fastboot as opposed to bootloader you might be talking failing that back to HTC it goes
if your phone can not turn off whilst holding either volume down or the back button then yeah it's a brick, send it off to htc, just say it overheated and wont turn on again

The battery was removed after flashing and rebooting.
Installed in the following order:
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.zip
LeeDrOiD_V1.2b.zip
942_desire_froyo_a2sd-signed.zip
every process seemed to work normal, no error happened.
Then rebooted the Desire and the "Box with Android-Bot" Screen appeared.. this hung for 30 min or more when I could not think of any other solution than removing the battery to reset..
After this -> nothing.
I suppose as you say it has to do something with the Radio ROM..
Been coming from OpenDesire 1.6b - every flash ran perfectly up to this point.
Damn, I think this one has to go back to HTC.
Is there any possibility to unbrick a phone thats not responding at all?
Could HTC be aware of the modifications or will they really just go with the "overheated and won't turn on again" explanation?
Thanks for your help so far guys!
Yea, the little Droid with the box thing is during a radio flash and you should never pull the battery during that as it does result in a brick.
Can you reach fastboot as mentioned up above?
..tried pressing the "back" button with the power button and the vol-down button together with the power button..
even did the "insert the battery while holding the button" method..
I don't think I can get the thing to Fastboot..
But I will look further into this and try..
..
Has anyone had a Radio Brick and sent this to HTC before?
Is the repair covered by warranty?
Do you guys think they even get this is no real HW failure?

I know someone who sent their phone back with a pretty much identical issue and the phone was fixed under warranty no problem.
Regards,
Dave
yay!
you know, even one post of you telling me it went allright for another guy is a big relief..
EDIT: just wanted to let you know I tried invoking fastboot via usb and the android PC tools..
just keeps waiting for the device.. and waiting ..
..will analyse USB traffic in general to conclude if there is a little itsy bit of life left in the phone, but I think this is a dead end too.
thank u all for ur help i have managed to unlock the phone as described
thanks alot every1
saifiraq: You seem to have stumbled in the wrong thread or could we help by coincidence?
..UPDATE:
Did usb-sniffer analysis while pulling battery, trying to turn on, plugging usb in etc.
NOTHING at all..
My baby is on it's way to HTC now.. wish me luck guys!

droid incredible stuck at black screen

I was trying to downgrade and the phone seemed like it was stuck after hboot to PB31IMG so I pulled the battery now when I try to boot the phone, it vibrates but gets stuck on a black screen. Please help
hold vol down n power at sametime
see if u can get to recovery from hboot, if not I think u mightve screwed yourself

I think the phone is booting up, the buttons at the bottom will light up and the charging light will come on but the screen stays blank.
If you can get into HBoot...try to do a RUU with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487
Also...how long did you wait before pulling the battery? And what exact step were you on when you did it?
I waited about five minutes and I cant do ruu because I cant see anything. The screen is black. Thats the step I was on. It said updating do not turn off. After it was done. I let it sit and it didn't do anything so I did a battery pull, I have the phone charging now and the charging light is on.
you probably should have waited at least 30 min...most of this stuff needs time usually if it seems like it's hanging its probably not. did you try getting to hboot yet?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I didnt know to wait that long. Also, I tried but I cant get to anything, the phones charging light is on and when I hit the power button, the charging light goes away but the screen stays black. The lights at the button are on also, so it looks like the phone is on but the screen is black.
pull the battery again, then hold vol down and pwr til u get to hboot then let us kno wat happens
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Am I missing something? I thought I couldnt get into hboot because I cant see whats going on. The lights at the bottom are lit up and the charging light is on but the screen is black. If the screen is black, I wont know if Im in hboot right?
call Verizon and told them your phone had a black screen. they will send u a replacement phone.
ive never been able to not get into hboot with anything dumb I've done to my phone

I just got this today from best buy. The bottom lights are coming on and so is the charging light, just not the screen. Is this something I definitely did or could I just have a lemon and the screen be bad.

it sounds like youre ignoring the help I'm giving you and youre just tring to turn it on everytime, phone needs to b completely off for hboot yo. yes you did something wrong to it. we just need to kno if u can get there to kno if u f'ed urself or not and fix it for you

Here is the fix for the Desire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
In theory this fix should work the same for the Incredible, you just need to find the correct Rom.
The problem is that you tried to revert to the stock 2.1 for AMOLED screen phones, and you have a SLCD screen.
Now you basically have to find the SLCD version (not sure if there is one for 2.1?) and blindly get into HBOOT/Recovery and hopefully press the correct buttons to install the SLCD Rom for your phone.
I think this is the rom you want to try flashing (it's the stock 2.2 RUU): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IH461NS4
Good luck...
nevermind then, try lookin for clockworkmod on crack post in development heard it has the drivers for slcd, you have to rename it pb31img.zip on root of sdcard so you can see recovery

Im trying to listen to what your saying, idk if im doing something wrong. These are the steps im using.
1. I pull the battery.
2. put the battery back in while holding volume down with the power button.
3. it turns back on, i hit up a couple times on the volume
4. the phone turns on, the bottom lights and the charging lights are on.
I can hear the volume go up and down, when i hit menu, home, back, or search the phone vibrates. When I use the volume up and down buttons I can hear the volume going up and down so the phone is on.
I appreciate your help and want this fixed, i may be doing something wrong and sorry if I dont understand but Im not trying to deliberately ignore your advice.

[Q] Bricked DINC? HELP!

I hate to resort to one of the, I think I bricked my phone posts, but alas, I think I may have "dun it."
My friend has a DINC, and I rooted it for her with Unrevoked. Streamlined process, same as for my EVO. The recovery image, CWM, only showed 2 thin white bars and a black center screen, but it would create backups from the actual program. I have some backups for it, but when I tried to wipe and install Ultimate Droid, it simply boot looped. Didn't think much of it, factory reset and start again, but that didn't reset anything. It would still load into Cyanogen, but still bootlooping. Waited 15 minutes, performed a battery pull, and tried to load into recovery, still showing the white bars. Checked into the forums, and found nothing useful for what I was experiencing (until a little too late), and aparently flashing the "PB31IMG.zip" solution I found didn't quite solve it.
The phone now will vibrate once when power on, do NOTHING when pressing vol - and power, and will do the 3 buzz buzz's to enter "Qualcomm diagnostics."
Black screen of death? Any help would be appreciated, I've found no solutions as of yet.
dazed and
I have performed multiple battery pulls, and this has not solved the issue.
U P D A T E : SUCCESS!!!! The method mentioned by syst3merror worked like a charm. Approximately 10 minutes from start to finish. If you experience what I did, give that a shot. Now to try and root again and get the recovery to work.
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...s/5723-how-get-back-complete-stock-s-off.html
ok, if it is what I think it is....its fixable and pretty easy to do! Let me get all my information that you'll need real quick
Let me ask a few things first:
Do you know what kind of screen you have? SLCD or AMOLED?
When you do a battery pull and restart, you get the initial vibrate and then a black screen the whole time correct? Do you see the softkeys light up like the phone is working but you just can't see anything?
A wonderful gentleman by the name of Doug Piston helped me out with the exact same issue a while back (referred to as an "SLCD Brick") and this is how we fixed it.....
First you'll need HTC Sync to run the RUU. Get it and install it from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/
Next step is the 3.26 RUU:
http://www.multiupload.com/1R2DJKQZN6
First install the sync, then run the RUU, and within a few minutes of it installing, you should see the screen come back to life!

I truely do not know if it is an AMOLED or SLCD, I would assume SLCD since the clockwork mod did not look right and read up on some issues and a fix for it, but I cannot say for certain.
When I do the battery pull, initial vibrate only and black screen. No softkeys. Utterly black, but I can get the charging on when plugged in. Thats it.
I'll be looking back seeing what you've got!!! Thanks!!!

This is your fix. I had the exact same issue happen to me, rooted a friends phone and this exact thing happened, I didn't know it was an SLCD. and you definitely have an SLCD because the black screen with two white bars only happens to SLCD's (to my knowledge). So just follow those steps and you'll have it fixed. No brick for you, no worries for you.

[Q] Rooted phone and now wont turn on

I recently Rooted my sealed samsung galaxy s3 without having a clue what i'm doing i downloaded this program called snapdragon to root it along with ODIN. The phone rooted fine everything was working okay, I even downloaded an app to see if the root was successful and indeed it was. I shut the phone down wake up in the morning to turn it back on and I get zero response. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Might seem obvious, but have you tried leaving it plugged in for ten-fifteen minutes?

Yes of course I've tried leaving it plugged in for several hours and the night before the phone was at 100% charge so I doubt battery is the issue.
Tks though
Did you try booting into recovery?

Ummm seems like u can fix it.... go bak to stock using odin as well and go back to stock and i believe cwm is going to be gone so as your root access so re-do it but this time guide yourself through a turorial(a.k.a google) and since you have to clue i think the best choice for you is to find a video tutorial in case your doubting or getting confused with the steps or sometimes to see what you did wrong that caused the phone to misbehave...

This is why I hate one-click-root kits, you get people doing things to their phones they don't understand, wreck it and come here saying "help, I don't know what do do!" Something like this you really should at least understand the basics. I hope this gets you more involved in researching what's actually happening. It's important to know what's happening to your device as well as why, that way if something goes badly you'll have an idea of how to get out of it.
Sorry, enough lecturing, let's see if we can get something going here. Give a bit more detail about what happens. You're phone is shut down, right? You hit the power button and no response, like the battery is actually out of the phone, or does it turn on and give you a blank screen? If it was a brick, I'd think you'd at least see the boot screen before everything goes wrong.
Ok, I'm going to go ahead and assume you've removed the battery. If you haven't, do so now.
If it still won't turn on, try actually holding the power button down for 30-60 seconds. I had a scary moment with my phone yesterday, rebooted it running Wicked v5 on Trinity and the screen just died. I've been running that rom for a week with just a couple of issues here and there, nothing out of the ordinary. Pulled the battery and tried again, nothing. After holding the power button down for a bit I felt a quick vibrate, then the boot logo came up. No idea why, I'm going to have to look into it.
Beyond that, I'm brand new to this phone and Sammy's Android devices so I'm still learning myself. HTC phones I could help out more with, but I'm still a bit clueless with this thing.

Yes I have taken out the battery replaced it several times. I hit the volume home and power button several times. When I do that I get a zero response nothing shows up I hear no sound its as if the phone is just completely dead. One thing I did realise is when I plug it into the computer and press the power button what would happen is it would connect and automatically disconnect
Can you get into Download mode? Volume down + Home + Power button?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Don't forget to let go of the power button when going into recovery.
Have you done what the other post said?
Hold power for about 10-30 seconds. Does it do anything? Do you feel a verrrry slight vibration?
When you plug it in without doing anything else does the computer see it in device manager? How about if you press power once? Or holding power down?
Does it register that its charging?
This may sound dumb but did you try powering up without the phone plugged into anything?

Ummm. Sorry but maybe im missing something? Your first sentence in your op says you didnt have a clue what you were doing....
And where is it supposed to infer that you've done everything already?
Imo you have been getting 'real' advice but from what I see you haven't 'really' answered anyones suggestions.
No one can help you if you dont tell us what exactly you have tried and what what happened when you did.
For example in your only response you mentioned hitting the volume and home keys a bunch of times....what exactly do you mean by this? Did you hold them while trying to power up? Volume up or down? Did you release any of them during that process, and if so which and when?
Its kinda hard to help someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing and only responds that hes done everything common sense dictates.
I seriously mean no offence but to me common sense would dictate that you not try rooting or anything if you know you dont know what you're doing.
It would also dictate that if you want further help with this you should go back and respond to what everyone suggested.
Like I said, im not trying to offend, just help.

I am having the same issue
I just tried flashing Android Revolution to my phone. I went through the whole set up process. Went to reboot then it went blank. Nothing. I get nothing when I plug it in. The computer doesn't recognize any device attached to it. I've tried all the ideas listed here and I get nothing. It's as if the phone is completely dead. When I flashed the rom my battery was at 90%. I've used various roms on different phones and this was the first time I did it to my Galaxy s3 and this is the first time it's ever happened. Talk about frustrating.

[Q] Working on bringing a Desire back to life!

Hi people,
Been a while since ive been in the desire forums and Im a bit out of touch with all things desire.
My situation is ive come across a desire that someone gave to me an said if I can fix it I can have it! Bonus.
Problem is in all my desire days ive never come across this (there are a few related tales on the internet but they mostly deal with S-ON devices).
So the phone wont boot, when you try to it just goes into the Hboot screen, even without pressing volume down?
once in the Hboot screen the phone is totally unresponsive? Volume rocker wont let me select options even the power button fails, to turn it off you have to battery pull.
The info on the Hboot screen is;
Alpharev N1 table
Bravo PVT4 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT- 6.93.1002
Radio- 5.11.05.14
I knew it was S-OFF already because I did it for the guy thats passed it to me know.
My First idea to get this working was to get a new alpharev hboot on there and see if it helped. Nope. Putting the PB99IMG on the sd card causes the phone to freeze on "parsing zip" "Bootloader 1" Left it alone to make sure it wasnt me being hastey but nope it didnt work.
Next I thought right lets get the Stock table on it and run a RUU. I would manually push the hboot via abd/fastboot. Nope. Because the phone wont boot into fastboot (using the back and power button combo) it still boots into Hboot!? So I tried to put it into Fastboot from ADB. Nope, ADB cant see it. A note on this is that I was a very proud owner of a desire and had set up adb for it ages ago. So why wasnt it seeing this one? I am 95% certain that he had usb debugging on on the phone. But when I plugged this one into my PC it couldnt install the driver for "Android 1"? WTF thats a galaxy nexus driver isnt it? anyways, found one and thats all installed so I know I have no missing drivers. The phone knows its plugged in because the Hboot changes to HBOOT USB PLUG.
Ive tried android flasher to send the Hboot and it just hangs at the "please wait while your device is flashed" point.
Does anyone else out there have any more ideas or is this desire a write off? In my past experiance these things were damn hard to totally brick?
Any ideas welcome. Many thanks in advance.
How did he get to this in the first place? was he trying to flash a ROM? or a hboot?

Nope said he was just using the phone as per usual then the next time he pulled it out of his pocket it was on the Hboot screen?
He isnt android literate so he doesnt mess about with it, he brings it to me for that kind of stuff.
In bootloader, can u choose recovery and boot into it?

Nope. Absolutly unresponsive volume rocker. Cant select anything from hboot menu. And even the power button is unresponsive, you have to battery pull to turn it off.
Another note to this saga: Ive tried an RUU but it dosent detect the phones plugged in.
Ive tried the freezer trick then RUU, that didnt work.
And now im even drying it out in rice just in case there is any moisture in the body.

think you should first rule out the simplest problems: electrical contacts inside the switches.
I had problems with the volume rocker due to dust collecting so you might want to press harder or clean it. I've done this more than once. At least you be sure there is not a mechanical problem (eg. a switch not working or a latched switch preventing the phone from registering the other buttons.).

So. Had it in bits. Cleaned the terminal points between all buttons and made sure no sticking was present.
One final last plea to anyone who has any better ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks to everyone thats made a contribution.
Will a jaff box/jtag box fix these problems? Got a man that can standing by......
