I have an unrooted slide that two days ago turned off all of a sudden and when I turned it back on it wouldn't boot past the my touch screen and it is stuck that way.. I guess this is what I get for NOT rooting my device and thus not being able to flash a new rom, but I'm wondering if there is any other option I have to try and re flash the phone, or load up something from the bootloader.. the bootloader is the only part of the phone I can access.. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I have to do a swap for a new one.. oh and I did try the reset from bootloader, a few times.. no help..

Boot in the stock hardware's recovery by holding VolumeDown + Power when you boot up your phone. You can probably root your phone from there, but I honestly forgot the procedures because I had to try different methods until it actually worked.

I'd just take it to T-Mobile. If you're not rooted, they'll just replace it for free. Why bother trying to root it, which you could screw up, if something is already wrong with the phone? What if you mess up the rooting process, and then REALLY can't get a replacement?

Unrooted Mytouch 3G Slide Stuck on Splash Screen
Good Day everybody, I'm not living in the us currently and i'm having the same problem as the guy mentioned above. I previously owned this mytouch 3g slide, never rooted. Gave to my GF and it seems that either she's messed this phone up, or it just self destructed from improper use of the android os.. My problem is i just have this phone laying here, I'm from the bahamas so the t mobile option is well.. not an option. Is there anyway I can get this phone backup and running? I try HBOOT, seems to be the only thing working, when i clear storage, it shuts off completely and when i try recovery it reboots and is stuck at the splash screen all over again. I'd appreciate anyones help on this matter.

Hey guys, I tried to perma root my wife's G2 last night using Visionary+ r14 but when it tried to reboot it doesn't get past the green and white "HTC" screen, so now I have a couple of questions.
I bought this phone from someone off of Craigslist and it was working great until I tried to root it so it is technically out of warranty do you think I can get it replaced since everything is still stock?
Also I tried to apply the HTC OTA update to fix it and I still have the problem, is there anything I can do to repair this phone? Thanks in advance guys and mahalo!
Okay pull your battery out and put it back in..after dat press power button and volume down button until you get to the recovery screen and do a factory reset..

Thanks for the reply jboiii15. I did a factory reset before I flashed the OTA update and I have factory reset several times but still no go. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

I haven't tried it because I can't get ADB to work with the phone the way it is, Fastboot works but ADB just shows nothing there while I'm in recovery or the boot screen. Thank you also for the reply. My wife is pissed lol.
Try to extract the ROM from the official RUU and rename it to PC10IMG.zip. Put this on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader and leave it to work. This should solve your problem Fingers Crossed

do you have s-off??
I don't have S-OFF as I just started the rooting procedure when it decided to take a dump on me, after this I don't think my wife will want me to root any more of her phones although I know she'll miss it after having a rooted G1 running CM and a rooted Slide running Chromatic. Good thing I didn't sell her Slide yet lol.
I'll try to find information on the PC10IMG.zip method now and see what can be done.
Thank you guys for all the help, I really appreciate it all.

I think the rooting process has corrupted your kernel or rom, it is rare to get a brick from just the visionary process, but i know there has at least been one that this has happened to.
Report back to tell us if the extracted ROM worked for you, there is still hope;')

Oh man this is just getting worse lol. I had the phone sitting here plugged into my laptop while the phone was in the Hboot screen where you can select Fastboot, Recovery and so on. All of a sudden my here Windows give off the noise as if something was connected or disconnected from my computer and I see the screen shut off on the G2 with a red light blinking. Now the phone doesn't power on and the red light blinks while the phone is plugged into the computer but doesn't power on.
As I was typing this the red light came on solid as if it is charging now, maybe it doesn't charge while in that screen and the battery just died I dunno, strange.

Well I called T-Mobile and they are sending out a new phone, I'm unsure if I should still mess with it or not. I did flash the TMOUSA OTA update and that didn't help, I didn't unpack it to see if it contained a new Kernel but I'm sure it had a new system.img, still think it is one of those that is messed up?
I'm having a hard time finding the things to get the PC10IMG.zip going, work is calling me in different directions and my A.D.D is kicking in lol.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764 i had the same problem like you, steviewevie told me to do it, if you have problem to connect your g2 with sdk download pda net, it works for me and now i have my g2 back with the new root... just do what it said on that link believe me works...
P.D. I am a androidnoober always have a iphone and this was my first time using sdk adb or whatever name is and I did it
Thanks AndroidNoober, I've seen that link in my search for an answer to my problem. One of the issues that is making this harder is that after the phone "bricked" it lost ADB connectivity. I've tried it on two computers that have a properly working ADB (I test it with my N1 and 3G Slide) and it used to work with the G2 but now I can't get it to see the phone, I've heard Recovery has ADB blocked.
semi bricked attempting permaroot
i attempted permaroot and semi bricked my phone. will not boot past htc screen. i can't get adb to work. i am trying to get pdanet installed but it keeps getting stuck on installing on phone. can it install while phone is in recovery mode? i have had no sucess trying to figure this out on my own and phone is not covered with a warranty
i have gotten the phone to read an update.zip file.
it is reading the pc10img.zip as well.
now i just have to get past the htc screen.
i do have s-on as i had just started the process.
any help would be appreciated
I've searched high and low, tried countless solutions and im stumped. Please help me fine folks at xda.
My evo was originally not booting past the htc splash screen. I did the ruu and now the phone will boot all the way to the lockscreen and either turn off immediately or within 30 seconds of unlocking it.
My first answer is battery, but when it's on for the brief moments it shows 40%.
My question is, since im not rooted and im s-on, how can I get this stock rom off and get a new rom and recovery on? Can i root in this situation? I can't turn debugging on because the phone turns off so I can't use adb. Please help me get this software off and new software on! Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry to post about a similar topic that is already on here, but like I said, I tried all proposed solutions with no success.

Greetings everyone. I bought a Proscan PLT7044-k tablet to use as a chromecast remote, but doesn't work out how i planned. Anyway, I started messing around with it, bricked it, and figured out how to unbrick it through putting the original firmware back on it. THAT got all this Android stuff real interesting to me. Now, where my brain gets stumped at is putting CWM on this thing, so I can put custom ROMs on it and play with it more. I have tried EVERYTHING that I can find on google and all of the forums, nothing has worked! There is no bootloader, at least I'm pretty sure there isn't. I can't get into fastboot. When I try to rebbot into any kind of recovery or bootloader mode, I get a black screen. Rebooting into recovery mode just shuts my tablet off.. This has stumped me for about 3 weeks now. Endless nights of frustration just to get CWM! uugghh!! Can anyone help!? I know it's an older tablet, so I'm hoping someone figured it out a long time ago. Thanks folks, in advance. Whatever I need to paste on here for you guys/gals to see, just ask.
This is the wrong section to ask, there's no porting involved if you got an android device. youd get more replies in a more general section
So I have not been very active in flashing roms lately, so I decided to install a new rom since it was kinda slowing down. So i accidentally downloaded one from the LG G3 forum and
i flashed it over and now it wont power on. Is there any guides, tutorials to bring it back? Thanks in advance

It won't power on or it boots into fastboot?
