Hey guys,
i've got a big problem. Currently my HTC Desire is a "brick". Not like the normal bricks, I didn't flash a new rom or so.
The problem is: my back button doesn't work!
I wanted to try a restart, but I can't boot anymore.
When I turn it on, I just come into fastboot. So it seems like the back button is "stuck".
Is there any other way how I could boot my desire?!
I would be fine with a running desire with no back button, better than a completely bricked one.
And if I am able too boot my desire, is there any way to remap the hardware buttons? E.g. I don't really need the search button, so I could use it as back button.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Hi,
I am a noob to Android have been WM for many years. Anyway I tried to flash a new radio to my T-Mobile Hero, now its stuck on a picture of a box with a arrow pointing towards a phone. Its been like this for one hour now. I tried flashing using fastboot recovery from the sd card. I thought I had rooted the Hero but am not sure if it completed correctly. What can I do to get it powering up again?
When I press the power and back button just that picture appears for ten seconds and then the handset seems to turn off. No lights, nothing I have to remove the battery and then when I press anything the same picture appears.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
try to get into recovery and reflash the radio
turn your phone off.
press Home+Power on and hold Home pressed.
Your phone should now go into recovery.
You should consider to install a more advanced recovery.
Here is a nice one.

I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
Hello,
I recently got a brand new DHD from T Mobile UK. Naturally, I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that came with it. To cut the long story short, I tried to install the cyanogenmod software and ended up bricking my phone. At first it would not get past the cyanogenmod start up screen (spinning smoke thing). Now it will not boot past the T Mobile logo.
I am desperate and any solution to give me back ANY funstionality of the phone would e great.
Kind Regards.
Sena.
Can you get into the bootloader? Try turning it off, then holding the power button and volume down - I think the easiest method is to hold volume down, press the power button for a few seconds (still holding volume), then let the power button go and after that the volume button. Seems to get me into the bootloader reliably.
If you can get into the bootloader, you should be able to flash back to the stock rom by placing a file on the SD card - not certain of the exact method there but someone will know
I wouldn't worry too much unless you were flashing the bootloader (hboot) to get s-off - as I understand it, the only real way to brick these devices is if you corrupt the bootloader.
What exactly did you do? I agree with the previous poster that you probably did not brick your phone you just need to get into the bootloader and flash a backup, if you made one. Also what ClockworkMod Recovery are you using. I know that if you flashed with 3.xxx you will need to flash an older version of CWM something like 2.xxx
If you give us more info we could prob help more

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Dear all,
I have already rooted my desire HD long back. I have been using several custom ROMs and finally settled to MIUI. Couple of days back I put this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512565.
Here's the problem now. My phone entered into "Safe Mode". When I have switched off, its entering BOOT LOADER and the power and volume buttons are not responding. PLEASE help me out. I am very concerned regarding this issue.
THANKS IN ADVANCE..

Check whether your volume buttons are broken or something because it seems as if the down key is constantly pressed which directs you to the h boot
there is certainly some prob with the keys
Thanks for the reply dude..
There is certainly some problem with the volume keys. Isn't there any other solution to get out of the boot loop. Thanks
Hi,
My One X was working fine with my custom firmware for about six months but then it suddenly bricked itself by booting into HBOOT and now the up volume key and power button both move the selection down while the down volume key does nothing. When I turn the phone off it just reboots into HBOOT. For it to turn off I have to wait for the battery to run out, but that doesn't help with anything.
My computer doesn't seem to recognise the phone either, even though I haven't really changed anything since I rooted it and flashed the new rom. I have no idea what to try now, any help?
No one has any advice? Does this mean it is completely bricked?

I thought that was unlikely but I finally got around to testing anyway and the phone booted up properly when I unplugged the ribbon which includes the volume buttons. I guess the down volume button must have been stuck on which is why the phone continually booted into HBOOT and the down volume key didn't do anything when it was pressed. I guess the way the menu HBOOT menu is programmed meant that pressing the other buttons didn't do anything but upon release it registered the down button again.
Anyway, I replaced that part of the phone and it's all in working order. Thanks for the tip.
