[Q] DZ doesn't start after adb

Hello Guys!
I have a big problem. I would return to s-on. For that I used adb and the backup of part7. I used the "dd" command on mmcblk0p18..........and now, my phone doesn't boot. I think, my phone was brick. Have anyone an idea? Repair Service?
For any help I'm very thanksful.
With best regaurds
Update 1: After hold Power + Vol Down and plug in the battery, the phone vibrate and the green LED turns on, but nothing happen. By pressing Power + Vol Up the phone vibrate again, but the red LED was blinking.

Ouch.... It appears u dd'd it to death!
Dangerous command that.
Dont know if u had the right partition there.
Can u boot into hboot? (vol down + power)

Yes, I think it, too.
No, cant boot into hboot.........
I think, I'd use the wrong partition. I will send to service and I hope, that no one see that I use S-Off and root, because the waranty.

It seems you have full radio S-OFF via gfree, because of that blinkied red LED mode. That's a special mode where you're talking to the OSBL, I believe, and in theory there are some recovery options there. However, I have no idea whether it's possible to write a new bootloader from that point or not. So far, to my knowledge, nothing has been posted up here about what you can do in that mode (which might be because no-one has figured it out yet ? I don't know).
Without any extra input on that, your phone is bricked.

[Q] G2 won't power on! Please assist!

Hello fellow G2 users.. my G2 phone won't turn on ... I had it rooted for a few months running Sense 2.1 and 3.0 roms then last night I tried going back to stock because the roms kept freezing and causing all sort of problems.. wifi failure, fc prompts.. ok, I had hboot for the desire z then I tired going back to hboot for the g2 ever sense then the phone refuses to turn on and there's only a orange light flashing and sometimes stays still.. please help.. I don't know what to do.. when I try loading boot loader volume down and power nothing happens..

I'm not an ace but bootloader should work, how long are you holding the power button? Does plugging it charge it? Is the battery dead, it have you pulled it? Does ADB see the phone at all? Have you checked the guide you were following?

30 seconds.. I held the power button for 30 seconds it worked before.. now it's not turning on or going into boot loader. . when plugged in it flashes orange.. I pulled the battery out and put it back in and nothing happens just keeps flashing orange.. my computer doesn't' recognize the phone anymore.. I don't know what's going on..

30 second with and without holding down the volume down button? Weird, no flicker on the screen or anything? Sounds like a possible brick, anyone else have any ideas?

Sound like you need a new phone.. coz if you hold down power button and down volume for 30 second it should boot up. If not your phone might brick.

What exactly did you do to restore the G2 hboot? Am I reading this correctly that this is exactly when it wouldn't turn on?

a friend of mine tried loading hboot from eng-hboot.. still there's no way it would brick the phone!!.. I don't know what else to do. my computer can't recognize the phone anymore.. I'm trying to use adb reboot-bootloader.. but it says device not found..

Flashing hboot is a potential way to brick the phone. Flashing recoveries and roms is relatively safe (recoverable), but if you flash a bad copy of hboot, then I think JTAG is your last option.
Do you know exactly what your friend flashed? md5 hash, file name, which fastboot command?

I'm not sure what the file name is called I'll have to ask him. What is JTAG?

I am happy that we have someone around with these capabilities, but please get your website working correctly.
Every time I go there and click on a link, it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to come in, rather than fractions of a second - and it seems to do this no matter where I access it, whether home computer, work computer, public wifi or smartphone.....
Not having trouble with any other websites, so might wanna get that fixed

When you connect the charger to the phone if it flashes orange it means it needs battery to boot up wait for about 10 minutes and then try to turn it on with the charger still connected
If it doesn't boot up you have a serious brick

[Q] Bricked Wildfire

Help! I think my phone is bricked! I can't get into the hboot menu (vol down and power button). Nothing happens when I did it. Also, when I press the power button (after re-inserting the battery), it vibrates, and then nothing happens too.
Before this happened, I was trying to install one of the custom roms, then clockworkmod started to become screwy (display seems to look weird). After that i managed to get into the hboot menu but i could not navigate. The SD checking didn't even happen.
Now, when i connect my phone to my PC, the LED turns red and nothing happens. If i connect it to the wall socket, the LED does not light up.
Do you have any solutions? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

what version of cwm you use? did you try pluging the phone to the pc then try to enter hboot

Uhh is there any way to check what version of clockwork mod I have? cos my phone totally cannot be started up... And i tried going into hboot by connecting to my PC.. it doesn't work..

I'm not sure if it matters but when I go to the hboot menu, I cannot navigate the menu straight away unless I hold the vol down button for a few seconds. Then it let's me select menu items.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

thanks, but right now i can't even get into the hboot menu...

First of all try to take out the sd card. Change it with another one. Take out the battery.
Put it in after a minute. Try to get into hboot. What happens when you try to boot up into the system?

Happened to me some what the same, when i tried mtd partition wrongly, recovered with ruu flashing, then start every thing from beginning

Download the RUU on your pc, connect your phone and flash it with ruu and ull get back your phone. But ull hv to start all over, coz ruu gets u to the stock sense rom.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

@ZooMas well it doesn't boot to hboot... i tried to take the SD card and insert another one and waited for a minute then booted it but nothing happened...
@showlyshah & Nakulkhanna its okay if i start all over.. I'll try it later..

Uhhh i tried using the RUU.. But everytime it says "waiting for bootloader" then the install failed and it says connection error.. and on my phone nothing happens. So do i need to reflash the bootloader or something? i still cannot load to the bootloader..

Maybe your phone is really bricked... is your phone older than a year ? I mean is it still in warranty or not?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

sadly its over a year.. i need to pay 80SGD to repair... oh well.. I wasn't playing with the radio or anything.. hmm i wonder why it was rooted. Anyway it does charge up when I switch it on... I just can't enter the bootloader..

Hmmm... as u said that your phonr still taking charging and it vibrates too when u insert battery and hit power button.. so maybe it means that your phone is still working or at least it has some life left but its the screen which is not working... probably coz it doesn't have any driver too turn it on...
Ok so try this now...
reinsert the battery and press power button, if it still gives that vibration then connect it to your pc... and see if your pc detects anything and gives a positive usb connect sound confirmation like we get when connect any usb things... pen drive n stuff.
And if it gives that sound, then run the RUU and see if then it can install the stock rom.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

@Nakulkhanna
Yeah it does detect something, but its the transclucent drive icon and when you click it it says "please insert a drive to drive (G". Also I tried to install the RUU after I inserted my phone switched on, but it just get to "Waiting for bootloader...(number)......" and after the number turns to 100 it just get into an error 171 "USB connection error". My phone doesn't restart when it is in the stage "Rebooting into bootloader." Nothing just happens.. So what do I do now?

Sorry for late reply.... been busy last few days...
Seems like your problem is too big for me to solve... but there is a memeber here '3xeno' he is a mastermind guy... try asking him, maybe he could help u out... you can find him easily.

Pull out your battery for 2 minutes, put it back and try to boot. If that doesn't work then:
1) Power off your device (pulling out battery is the bulletproof way)
2) Press the volume-down button and hold it, then press the power button until you see a
white menu screen (bootloader)
3) Try to access recovery (navigate with volume-keys and powerbutton). If you cannot
access recovery then:
4) Download this file http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and put it on your SD-card
root with an external memory card reader.
5) Boot to bootloader again and accept the installation
6) See if it works.

like to do all of this but it dont boot into bootloader doesnt mater if i push volume up or down and power on either way it vibrates 3 times than flashes led.
still... is HTC able to detect a rooted device even if it dont boot? and if so can they deny the waranty

This has happened to me 2-3 times. I definitely think it was because the battery didn't have enough charge. Try charging it for a little time. Have patience.
If its not getting charged I think there might be some problem with your charger, charging cable, charging port or battery.

wll the battery was charged 100% just before that happened - and i tried another battery after this happend - because i was about to install a new rom. so it checks aut that when i try to hboot that its vibrates 7 times than flashes green led (when vol down + power) when i start normaly or when i try to vol up + power its vibrates 3 times
and flashes a orange led ( normaly it would be red but i was on blackice mod)
i have varanty left on that thing and it was rooted s-off when i send it in are they able to see this?
and could they deny varannty?
it was only slightly oc´ed to 1.3 instead of 1 ghz thera was chainfire installed too
Windows 7 trys to recognice the device when i plug it in per usb but cant find the right driver.
thanks for the ideas

That's strange. When that happened to me it was fine when I charged up the battery.
Unfortunately, considering the fact that you can't even get into bootloader and that windows cant recognize your device I'd say you are pretty much bricked.
Do you get the splashscreen atleast? the one with the white HTC logo?
Are your volume keys working fine? I mean were they working fine before this happened?
Well I'm pretty sure that if they can't get to the bootloader, they have no way of knowing it was S-OFF. So they can't deny warranty in that case.
On the other hand, if the issue that caused this problem was indeed an issue that could've come only after someone S-OFF's then they might just deny it.
But I'm pretty sure you can fool them by maintaining that you don't know anything about how it happened.

Nope. Wont work. The computer has to recognize it atleast. In anycase, adb works only after the mobile boots past the splashscreen. And I think he might have already be knowing about adb since he's flashing ROM's.

thats the point ther is no splash screen at all. i think this is a great myth the comunity cant solve by now. i read this a bunch of times many post to the 3 vibrations on boot or 7 vibrations ther is suggested that the mainboard passed out but what coused this if so?
otherwise i saw post on peaople were able to fix this bug and therfore could be no mainboeard failure be possible right?
i still try to figure that out gonna make a pol thread in DHD general because i have some suspissions to this and i want to see if this checks out.
thanks anyway

Is my M8 bricked?

Ok folks, normally I figure these things out but this one has me a bit concerned.
I was in ViperROM HUB and installed a font package, it needed to restart in recovery to install, so I allowed it. I turned to my computer and when I next looked at my phone the screen is off and refuses to come on. When depress the power button I get a vibration feedback but the screen won't come on. I tried VOL DOWN and POWER but nothing is happening. Im gonna let the battery run dead and see if that will resolve it.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before?

Hey!
I dont think its bricked.
Ghost helped me out with my problem, see below solution.
Try holding POWER + VOLUME UP for 20 seconds and it should restart.
However my case was different I was stuck in HTC logo screen and no way to restart.

On the M8 it is Power and Vol Up to perform a "battery pull".

Thanks grega_slo and gaiden0000 for the quick response and spot on advice.
I did that before but it didn't work, it works now…guess I didn't hold VOL UP long enough.

Yeah I didn`t know about VOLUP either
It scared the crap out of me when I S-OFFed the device and was stuck haha

having the same problem. flashed cyanogen nightly and when it rebooted got to the splash and then black. nothing. none of the above methods seems to bring it back. I can hold the power and vol up and get the splash to reappear but still goes to black. any thoughts of have I really bricked this phone?

Put the usb cable in then press vol up and power until it restarts. As soon as you hear the ding on your pc press and hold vol down and power, you should then boot into hboot MENU.

never seem to hear a 'ding' or any other sound but no matter how I time it - power/vol up then power/vol down still results in htc splash then just black. Phone was quite warm (not quite hot) when I went to bed last night and this morning battery was at "0". When I first plugged it in and pushed the power button it alternated from the battery charging display to the TWRP locked screen but I couldn't seem to get it to stay on the TWRP screen no matter what I did. Now that I've used power/vol up I don't seem to get the battery or TWRP. just black or when trying power/vol up I get the splash. Power/vol down gives nothing - just black
EDIT: Just tried - let battery go dead. Plug in to computer hold power/vol down. Screen goes from battery icon to blank and back to battery icon.
EDIT: Pulled and reformatted sd card in Evo 4g LTE. Retried fastboot command still just shows "waiting for device". Even tried adb reboot bootloader and reply "device not found"

Could I use adb to reflash ruu? If so would the command be adb flash (filename)
Was beginning to lose hope of ever fixing this but a HUGE shout out to Simer03 who provided the critical piece of information - namely - add a ROM zip to your sd card. Hope nobody else ever has this problem but just in case
Post #4 here

Nothing is going to work unless you can either enter the boot loader or boot into the os.
You should still be able to access hboot unless that is corrupt. At the very least you need to hear the ding on your pc so you know the pc has recognized your device is connected.
Try again with vol up and power, hold until it reboots you should then hear that ding. If not check you have the necessary usb drivers installed on your pc or try a different usb cable.
