[HELP]Bricked mytouch? - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running CM7 RC2. After rebooting my phone, the phone wouldnt load anymore. After it shows the MyTouch3g Screen it just goes blank instead of loading the CM7 Boot Splash pic thing. I tried going into recovery but it goes blank too. I have S-On if that matters. Help?
Edit: I tried flashing ESPRIMG again but when I get to the main screen, it freezes and I cant do anything.

more details are needed, but i dont think its bricked as long as you still have your bootloader

What kind of details do you need?

HBOOT Screen info:
ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.52.0000
MICROP-0620
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0102
RADIO-7.08.35.04S
If I try to get into Recovery it just reboots but goes into a blank screen instead of going to the red triangle thing. If I boot up phone normally, it just shows the tmobile mytouch screen then it goes blank and doesnt show when the phone and pictures come out then I lock it and unlock it and then the main screen shows. If i try to slide down, nothing happens since its like frozen. But if I lock and unlock again, it says do you want to restore backup from SD card? I would naturally do it but when I try to touch it, its like frozen again.
Help please :[.
Edit: Oh and most ESPRIMG's I use, it says that like its an older version or something so I can't reflash it. If I do find a working one, nothing changes.

thats normal that the image says its an older version. it should ask you if you if you want to update after it does the image check. does it do that? if so, let it update. that will restore the original 2.1 build

No, it just says that its an older version and then asks if I want to reboot. Nothing about updating.
Edit: I already flashed a esprimg like yesterday and it's the original 2.1 build. But I can't seem to load the recovery and if you read my post above "If I boot up phone normally, it just shows the tmobile mytouch screen then it goes blank and doesnt show when the phone and pictures come out then I lock it and unlock it and then the main screen shows.

rom flashing issues

my phone aborts when trying to flash some new roms...any idea y
Are you flashing through Amon RA or Clockwork? I would use RA and make sure you do a full wipe.
Is the ROM you are flashing signed? If not it will abort unless you turn off signature verification. Not sure if Clockwork lets you do this (I haven't used it in forever) but RA does. Of course, if a dev can't properly sign their ROM then you probably shouldn't use it anyway.

Pls i need help
Hi there, phone screen remains black and no visuals after flashing rom, so I canrt see anything on screen or know what to do about it, pls help?
Details -
After flashing ROM from SD card via which seem to go well... ONLY that the screen is blanked out, no lights except the key lights, phone comes on, responds to touch by giving normal sounds like when I use flick the scroll lock and touch the screen etc (just because I know how the phone works) but problem remains that I cant see anything, so I cant even boot into recovery or download mode to flash again since its all black and dimly lit.
I have a B63M running Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I am not sure what model of HTC it falls under in case this question or similar has been asked already.
I was able to initially get into flash recovery using the mobile uncle tool which allowed me get into recovery, something that has been impossible using the stock recovery in b63m.
I backed up the ROM , cleared cache and daikvil cache then went on to flash ROM using an update.zip and then the touble I explained above.
This is a current situation pls I need help getting back up and flashing the right lattest rom for my phone?
SORRY, i didnt realize at first that you dont have an evo, so i dont know if these instructions will help you
turn your phone off, remove and reinsert battery.
hold vol-down then power until HBOOT loads.
use vol keys to navigate and power to select the word "recovery" to boot into recovery.
I suggest you download roms over wifi if you havent as over 3g can cause roms to download wrong and cause issues

[Q] Help needed.. black screen

Well i rooted my g2 today, and i was trying to add a new splash screen, i was using Splash-Screen-Creator-v0.02-Beta. I ran everything and after I restarted my phone it starts with a black screen with a multi colored bar ontop, then proceeds to go to the boot animation. I have tried factory formats, formating it in general and even reinstalling ROMs but still it is there, and i am not sure how to get rid of it.
With abd remove the splashscreen creator. Then flash your rom again.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
were would i have to look to find it? because i never had to put in a specific location for the splash screen creator.
Ok well i am pretty stuck, i have no idea where to go. I have deleted anything that i found that i may have put in there but it is still there. any ideas on how to fix it?
Maybe you accidentally replaced the splash screen with a black picture with coloured bar?
You should maybe try flash a new splash screen, using a different method (maybe fastboot if you have eng hboot, or a PC10IMG)

Thanks, that worked, it was my way of making it a .img file that was messing it up. I just dl'd one and it worked fine. Dont know why i kept trying my own haha

htc inspire hd hboot issue

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386387
i did everything i could and put the pd98 in the root of the sd card and then it got to the point where it still cant find the pd98diag.zip and .nbh file but it finds the pd98img and starts to load. then its just gets stuck on the parsing screen.. i rooted my phone a while back using ace hack kit so i could unlock the phone. this issue came out of no where, i was just using my phone and looking at nba scores and it just freezes so i pull out the battery and now this happens...

can you access the recovery by going into the hboot, if so, all you need to do is flash a ROM from scratch, or restore a back up
no i cannot click on hboot, it just automatically reads the sd card and then loads the p98 file and gets stuck on parsing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253&highlight=hboot
ive been trying to follow this guide but i put the pd98 file from the first link on the sd card then boot up my phone and the phone is still stuck but reads the pd98 file and gets stuck on the parsing screen again and all it says is [1] recovery.
also i dont know if it helps everytime i power on my phone it automatically goes to hboot screen, i dont have to hold the volume down button.
Have you tried removing the p98 zip from the sdcard and then booting into recovery from the bootloader? or removing the sd card completely, and then powering on the phone?
yeah without the sd card when i try to turn it on it goes to the hboot screen and just stays there, i cant move up or down and with the sd card without the pd98 file, the phone looks for pd98img twice and doesnt find it and then looks for pd98 file and doesnt find it and then goes back to hboot screen
and thanks for getting back to me man and trying to help out!
I came across someone else with this issue not that long ago. Unfortunately your ribbons running to your volume keys, or other related hardware, have become damaged or failed prematurely and your volume key is indefinitely stuck down. The only way to fix this would be to replace the failed part yourself. The inspire is difficult to take apart and requires a special tool to remove the camera so warranty may be your best bet.
do you know how much repairs like that usually cost professionally?
If you have at&t, its free for your first one to braeak, it has to be software, so they won't know that its the volume rocker is broken. Because what it mostly looks like is software.

well i cant send it to att bc i didnt buy it from them, bought from a third party. is there a place i can order the parts and do it myself?
also maybe its a volume rocker problem bc if i hold the volume up button with the powerbutton it vibrates a couple of time and the led stays solid green but the screen remains blank. doesnt that show the rocker still works bc the combination of the volume and power triggered a different response then just pressing the power and the phone going into hboot?
hboot
i have a wierd situation. when i go into hboot, it vibrates like heck and it finally gets on. i can chose recovery and it vibes like crazy but it eventually does load. i get to cwm and i can do all the operations. wipe data, partitions etc etc. i install from zip card and it is successful. i reboot phone and it vibes like crazy and eventually the zip does work and the rom is flashed. i just found it peculiar that my hboot is screwy, but i can still flash roms, wipe data, go to recovery and etc. do i have anyting to worry about, or should i just stick with the screwy hboot? idk how to fix the hboot . any suggestions or insight would be surely appreciated.

You have a froyo hboot. Just flash a gingerbread one and all will be normal again. Best thing to do is just use a PD98IMG.

i tried your gizroot and it worked. but when irebooted the device, i got what ihad before. a crazy long vibrate and back to hboot. i managed to get to recovery and flash the android revolution. im afraid of rebooting device as it will probably get stuck again.
i have run out of patience. lol. how do i flash that image. ?every time i load bootloader it says that it cant load pd98 image. its actually been that way ever since i rooted my phone.
Here is a PD98IMG of the gingerbread hboot. I've tried this one and know it should work. Just give your phone time to recognize it.

[Q] Splash screen stuck after lcd replacement

So Today I changed my gfs lcd and the digitizer. Installed it fine, I make sure all the ribbons are properly connected and close up the phone. The phone turns on and shows the splash screen, seems like it's booting. I decide to use the latest RUU and see if that helps. A few reboots later i on the newest hboot, thing is it keeps happening, except now i can hear it boot (sprint boot anim). I battery pull a few times and I get it to boot. Touch screen works fine and all, tick Development and keep awake (because once it slept it wouldnt turn on again), mind you adb works while the splash is displayed and after the boot anim, adb also works when the screen is turned off and it wont wake up.
I just want a second opinion on if i should get another lcd screen. The one I installed didnt have the best reviews.
Thanks.
ps: i dont post alot because i know how to search, but i havent found anything on this exact issue.
Im slightly confused... so does it boot? or not? I am trying to make sense of what you wrote...
Try clearing the storage in hboot something may have corrupted during the process...
well it does boot you can hear the sprint boot animation, and i can also adb into it. getting into the bootloader works fine, booting into recovery or regular booting is the problem. Just displays the splash screen, but as I said I think it does boot into recovery/system because I have adb access.
edit: i just turned it on and it booted, but once put it to sleep the screen wont turn back on.
If it's not getting pay the splash something is stalling it... Did you try to run a logcat from adb? Do that and look for errors.

[Q] Is my EVO Dead/Gone for good?

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!
Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen
Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine
Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

It should be PC36IMG not 31.

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...
