[Q] Bricked phone? Need help please!!! :-/ - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash the new Skyrader ROM on my DInc, but it got hung up at the eye boot screen. I went back, wiped and tried to restore to my back up... When I boot up, and the phone comes back up, I get the following errors and FCs:
"The Application DM Command Service (process com.android.phone) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And "The process com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
It is also not allowing the SD Card to be prepared for storage... ( I was trying to see if I could transfer one of my old back up into the SD card, but that is not working either...)
Then stuck at the HTC Brilliant screen. The screen will go into power save, and come up with the screen lock, but then the HTC Brilliant screen comes up...
Anybody have any ideas how I could fix this, or even if I can fix it???
Thanks in advance for the help!
I've been running the stock 2.2 with unrevoked forever...

can you not boot into the bootloader?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yeah, I could, but I couldn't load anything new into my SD card.
I just found my SD card adapter and was able to transfer the Android 2.2 RUU into the card, rename it as PB31IMG.zip.
I ran that as the update and it loaded!!!!!!!!!!!
Have to start from scratch on the phone, and its way too late to even try to run clockwork mod tonight... but at least I hope my phone is working again...
But, I have a problem with my phone, any time that I even try to run anything, a ROM or theme, it gets messed up. I'm following the directions to the T, so I don't understand why that is happening... Could I have a dud?
Thanks for answering my post!

Are you making sure to wipe data and cache prior to inmstalling the ROM?
Also, how long was it at the droid eye before you tried to go back? The first boot on a ROM can take quite some time and the phone may appear to be unresponsive, but is still lodaing, building caches, etc.

Stuck on boot animation [opendesire FroYo rom]

First of: YES I tried searching but didn't find my answer (prob didn't know how to search good enough ). And sry if this is not the right place to post, if so plz a mod move it. Thnx in advance
After not getting my OTA update today I decided to root my desire with Unrevoked 3 and it worked like but I still wasn't able to update the phone via recovery since it just wouldn't start the update.zip.
Than I decided to go for a rom and dwl OpenDesire FroYo and with Rom Manager installed it, but after it finished installing and the phone rebooted it stuck in boot animation (android with glowing animation) and now it won't go any further. Tried using a stock RUU but it said something "Wrong device". (info: I didn't use a gold card since my phone is supposed to be unbranded and unlocked).
Would be very grateful for any help or idea.

For how long did you wait when the X was flashing? Sometimes it can take up to 20 min so keep waiting. The animation, is it smooth or does it seem like it freezes and then goes around in a loop in which it freezes in the same place? Before using RUU you should try flashing another rom (dont forget to wipe & everything), after that use RUU but I guess you'll need a gold card anyway.
Good luck!
i always do a ADB logcat to see what's going on behind the bootscreen.
but for your case i think you need a ext3 partition on your SD card.

1. I waited for like 10 - 15 minutes and nothing. I guess not enough :S :S
2. Yes it is that loop animation that freezes than re starts.
3. I would have tried to re flash but can't open sd in pc, prob have to wait till tomorrow to get a card reader so I can save roms in there.

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)
Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.

Where can i get to windows-recovery? I installed SDK but what then?
Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

[Q] stuck on htc screen after using rom manager

Help! I just rooted my new Desire with the unrevoked method. Then I installed Rom Manager, saved its recovery mode and backed up my ROM. Everything seemed to go well enough, but now my Desire is stuck endlessly rebooting to the HTC Screen.
I can access the Clockmod Recovery screen however. I've tried the system reboot option but that just gets me the Htc screen rebooting again and again.
I'm pretty much a newbie to this and didn't want to choose another option (wipe data/factory reset, restore saved rom) without checking it out as I don't want to brick my new Desire.
Could someone give me a step by step plan for recovering my Desire?
Many thanks,
Joe
Nice thing you have a nandroid backup. Just restore the backup. it should work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You have to wipe all the data and just flash a new Rom.

stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Thanks for this. A couple of other newbie questions. As I understand it, I wipe the data using the Recovery option, and I found the how to flash a rom instructions. If I want a stock rom (like the one that came with the Orange Desire here in the UK) where would I get that? And do you think it might work if I restored the first backup I made, or do you think that's faulty...
Thanks again,
Joe
stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Things went from bad to worse. My battery seemed to stop charging so I wasn't able to get back to the recovery screen, and when I plugged the desire into the computer via the usb cable I simply got a flickering htc screen. I've had to send it back to Orange.
This experience has certainly made me leary of rooting and using rom manager again!
Does anybody have any explanation of what went wrong?
Joe
When the phone gets stuck in that loop when its trying to boot it wont charge, im not sure why.
The same thing happend to me using Rom manager. (maybe its a bug with the new version, or maybe we just didnt use it right)
I managed to get my phone to charge by taking out the battery and putting it back in ... so the phone was off, put it into the charger until it was fully charged and then did the recovery.
Battery affected by rom manager?
There's an addendum to this story. I replaced my Desire but had the same problem again, which seemed to be down to the battery in the end. Is it possible that the (virtually new) battery was affected by either rooting or rom manager backing up the rom? It seems very weird!
Joe
This might work for you
Remember to power down your Desire totally and charge it for about 2 hours or so (just to be safe) and continue.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Thanks for the long reply. Sadly, I'm unable to test it out as I had to return my phone to Orange. I'm still rather mystified by what happened in the end (how could rooting affect a battery?) but I'll keep your reply on hand in case it happens next time I root.

[Q] Really need help! Would be much appretiated!

I just rooted my Desire and all went well. Then I installed ROM manager and decided to backup my current rom to see how it works.
When i selected backup rom it took me to a screen with an exclamation mark on it, i pressed the power button went down and did the backup.
However when my phone reboots it shows the htc logo on bootup and gets stuck in some kind of loop and just displays the boot logo over and over.
This is my first attempt at anything like this and i am quite worried.
Any help would be greatly appretiated!
Firstly, I take it you didn't make sure a stock ROM was available for you should anything go wrong?
Secondly, turn the phone off, turn it on again whilst holding volume down to get to HBOOT and then select clear data. This will wipe everything and should allow the phone to reload...
I have the official RUU file that my phone was running: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed, which i downloaded for shipped-roms.
Would that make any difference?
Thank you for the reply.
Someone who actually did the right thing for once!!! WOO HOO!!
You can use that to go back to stock so you can start again, and at least you'd have a working phone
Thank you sooo much!
Ok sorry if this sounds silly, but i really dont want to make another mistake.
So i just run the ruu file on my pc connect my phone and let it do its thing?
Or are there any specifics i should be aware of?
Im not sure what went wrong but i am still not managing.
I tried going into the bootloader and clearing the storage but the device is still stuck in that loop when it trys to boot.
I have the official ruu file on my pc but im not quite sure how to use that to restore my phone.
Could someone please maybe help with that? Or is there any other way i could resolve this issue?
Before you start you need HTC Sync installed on your PC. Once done:
1. Start the RUU
2. Connect your Desire
3. Select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. The RUU should recognise the phone and allow you to continue
5. Follow the instructions
Thank you that you are taking the time to help me, it really means alot.
At the moment i can only access the HBOOT on the phone, the phone is still not able to boot, still get caught in that loop?
Ok i got the phone to start up, thanx for all the help!

[Q] {Q} Bootloader

Apologies in advance if this makes some of the vets here really angry.
My EVO is stuck at the bootloader after I tried flashing a ROM in which an error was received. I Nand restored, as I always back up prior to flashing, and I'm still stuck at the booaloader. Any chance I can download a ROM right onto my SD card and then flash? I can get into recovery.
Find the PC36IMG thread dl it and put it on the root of your sd card then get to bootloader. Should fix you up...
Thanks guy.
How can I mount the SD card though? My comp won't recognize the device at all.
It should let you reboot to your recovery from there. What does it do when you try to select it?
I can get into my recovery no problem but getting my SD card to mount is the issue now, even after toggling USB-MS.

ohh, just give it a seconds after you turn USB-MS on. Sometimes it takes its time recognizing it.
10 mins? lol
Alright guys, my apologies. Looks like my terminology is off. I'm not stuck at the bootloader, but stuck at the HTC White screen.

It probably doesn't like the kernel the ROM is using, try flashing one of Netarchy's universal kernels or the Stock #17.
I'm not sure about the usb-ms thing though, ten minutes is definitely too long. You may need to use ADB while in the recovery and push the files.
Manually going into recovery and then going nand restore = at least 5 times. Even the nand didn't work, which is making me a little uneasy. However, the USB-MS has worked (needed a new cable).
I'm downloading Virus's Airborne 4.6 onto my SD card, so lets see what this does.

Did you flash the new radio?
ALRIGHT after the weirdest experience with my EVO (mainly my fault), everything is back to normal. I downloaded a newer version of Virus's Airborne rom via USB MS (needed a new cable) then flashed. After that I went back into recovery and restored the Nand that wasn't working earlier. Weird, but im back.
