[Q] DZ doesn't start after adb - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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] Is the phone dead?

Hey guys,
i was trying to root the Desire of my uncle, it is a german TMobile branded device with HBoot 0.75.
I used the instructions of the third post in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
After that i bricked the display i dont know why. The i tried to unbrick the display using the instrunctions of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
Now i have a Desire that does nothing, no vibration, my computer don't recognise it when i plug in the usb plug, the phone seems dead. The only thing the phone is doing is when it charges the battery, the orange/green leds are blinkng.
Is the phone dead, or can it be recovered in some way?
Unbrick a SLCD is very painful - had to do this myself. The instructions to unbrick are correct. The problem is blind navigating through the Bootloader menu. Sometimes its not responding to Vol-Up or Down at all - so you can't say if you really got to the right point at the Bootloader menu.
Hardest thing for me was to get into Recovery at all. Just give your phone 10s minimum between all steps.

re: blinking: are they on, or actually blinking? when mine is charging I have a solid orange and when it is 100% I have a solid green LED.
Could it be a USB brick and a SLCD brick at the same time?
Have you tried to get the computer to recognise it in either fastboot or recovery mode?
Code:
plug it into the computer (turned off)
vol down+power=bootloader. was there a *ding*?
if not, press power again. you should be in fastboot now. any ding now?
if not, press power again (back to bootloader), wait ~10 seconds, press vol down, then power. you should now be in the recovery screen that would usually have a red exclamation mark in it. any luck with the *ding*?
if there is a *ding* coming from your computer then it can still be accessed from the PC and therefore should a ~relatively~ straightforward fix.

its to do with the fastboot etc having to load the pm99.img files, and that takes ~10-15 seconds. the phone won't respond before it loads these in the bootloader.

When it is charging the red led is permanet on, when it has fully charged the green led is on.

No *dings* no matter what i do.
Any other suggestion?
red? I didn't know the desire had a red LED, it certainly doesnt show up in a logcat on the blinker app.
do the keys light up when attempting to turn it on?

Sorry i mean the orange led.
When i try to turn it on nothing happens, no vibration, no key lights. The only thing that happen is the orange led turns off.

Unfortunately I don't know how much more help I could be.
all I could suggest is trying to flash said fixes completely blindly again in hopes you screwed it up the first time (using a MicroSD card adaptor to put necessary files on the card).
I guess the next option is to try at Modaco if you haven't already, or see if T-Mob can replace (whether or not you tell them the full story is up to you)
sorry I couldn't be more help

Thank you nzdcoy, i have already tried all the fixes but nothing to do. I will buy this jtag

and try te resurrection option if that does not work, i will try to read the whole nand content of my desire and write it to the desire of my uncle, maybe that will work.

Hard Bricked. Help

Seems I have now flashed wrong bootlader and my phone wont turn on. When attempting to start it just powers the screen for a millisecond and repeas this over infinitum.
Is the anyway to fix it please.
What exactly did you do before? How did you flash the bootloader?
put it onto an sd goldcard and loaded it up. My phone wont turn on. I can hold vol up and down simultaneously with a tap of the power button, then i get 5 vibrations.
If I hold vol up and tap power i get 3 vibrations from the phone.
Is the still hope for me yet. Please help.

I seems like it's got into a Qualcomm diagnostics mode, hence the 3 vibrations.

[Q] Total brick. What gone wrong

Hello.
My phone is completely dead after attempt to flash eng-soff.
No reaction at all.
Vibration and flashing orange LED when Vol-Up and power-on.
Ok its bricked,
but what gone wrong?
First, I have root my DHD (shiped with 2.35) with the AAHK.
And I had many reception problems.
But i cant flash any new Radio.
Then i flash an Stock 1.32 ROM, run visionary (temp&perm root) and the easy-radio-tool2.2
After than i have run the Easy-S-Off tool to do eng-s-off, to flash an newer radio.
restart an black screen....
What must I do differently the next time?
Take out your battery and put it back. Is not briked. And to enter in bootloader is vol down and power button.
When its off and i press vol+ and power on the LED is blinking.
(PC means Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM bla bla bla)
take out battery and try again.
Press vol- and power on, nothing happens.
If i try the Vol+ & power after that, the LED is not blinking.
I no longer get into bootloader.

Do you see in device manager what JSL says?
The blinking led and vibration doesn't mean its bricked. I've had that problem my first time too but got it fixed. I think i went over to the irc of aahk, and the creator helped me out with uy by using team viewer.

My DHD was send to repair center last saturday.
No "de demm" when connecdet to PC.
No recharging LED.

Terminal help

I'm very new to developing and I was experimenting with the terminal. I typed stop and hit the return key and my phone screen went black. I then performed a battery pull and now my phone will not start. Can somebody give me instructions on what I did and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated
Have you tried booting into HBoot
battery pull, hboot, recovery, restore backup. if that doesnt work then maybe try fastboot? do you know what that command is meant to do?
UPDATE: I held down the power and volume up buttons for about 5 seconds. The device vibrated, but the screen stayed black and now the LED is blinking orange. How do I proceed from here?

I know that the "stop" command followed by an application will stop that application. I don't know what it does without an application after it

Have you tried a different battery? That doesn't seem to be a software issue.
Its the power button and volume down.
if nothing seems to be working then fastboot is probably your best option

Nothing shows up when I try booting into HBoot. I tried power and volume up after and the LED kept blinking until I pulled out the battery

I tried a different battery and the same thing happened. Even before I ran into this problem, when I would hit that button combination this would happen. Does anybody know what power + volume up (not volume down) does?

Did you have some problems with the volume rocker, especially with the vol+ button, recently?
It's the same that would have happened if you held down vol+ and power.
Also, which operation did you stop?
No problems with the volume keys but my phone always did that if I held the power button and the volume up. And I didn't stop any process I just typed in "stop", and hit enter
Hm, I just did exactly what you did.
-Ran "stop" in a root shell
-Display went black
-Pulled the battery
-Booted it up again
Didn't have any problems with it.
As far as I know, the flashing orange light at boot is triggered by the debug mode (vol+ and power, but you can't do anything in it) or a corrupted bootloader.
However, a corrupted bootloader caused by this command is very unlikely, since it doesn't actually do anything to the device's partition table.
Did you do anything to the bootloader or anything related to that before you hit stop? You might have screwed it up in another way, maybe without even knowing since the device will run without a problem, even with a corrupted bootloader. Until you reboot, that is.
Anyway, I'm still guessing that you're just entering the debug mode for whatever reason.
I will try it with a battery that I know is working. The splash screen isn't showing up either so I think the Android OS was corrupted in some way. Also, if I do have a corrupted bootloader, how would I fix that?

By sending it to HTC.
I don't really know if there are any JTAGs for the DHD.
Tried using a battery that I know works. No luck. I tried booting the phone up and booting into HBoot, but nothing happened

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.
