[Q] Help any one, is my phone bricked ? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello every one, so I've been searching the net for two days with no answer, help plz , so my problem is I was trying to theme framework-res.apk from rom : RCMix_234_v2.7 for my personal use, when I pushed the framework-res.apk and rebooted the phone was displaying ( Safe Mode ) in bottom left corner so I pushed back the original one but still nothing (Safe Mode ) on, so I rebooted in recovery format ( system,data,cache ) restored an other rom ( virtuous 2.35 ) to make a clean install of RCMix_234_v2.7 rom again but battery was to low, so I turned the phone off and charged the battery , and ever since , the phone boots only in bootloader without even touching the volume keys ! and the volume ( up/down ) keys don't responde , any ideas ?
PS: fastboot and adb don't see the phone , and now with radio s-off ( warranty is void ),kindly help any one , or is my phone bricked ? sorry for the long story and thanks.
If anyone is interested , it was a hardware problem ( volume down key ) phone is finally in care center , than you all.

I'm not very technical with regards to the steps you were doing at the time, but can you take the battery out and put it back in and then immediately press the power button AND the volume down button at the same time for about 7 seconds? IE. Can you boot it into Recovery?

ive had the same thing before turn the phone off and connect it to usb turn the phone on and it should recognise USB

have u installed htc sync? and / or sdk? i think you didn't install the usb drivers

Pull out your battery for 2 minutes, put it back and try to boot. If that doesn't work then:
1) Power off your device (pulling out battery is the bulletproof way)
2) Press the volume-down button and hold it, then press the power button until you see a
white menu screen (bootloader)
3) Try to access recovery (navigate with volume-keys and powerbutton). If you cannot
access recovery then:
4) Download this file http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and put it on your SD-card
root with an external memory card reader.
5) Boot to bootloader again and accept the installation
6) See if it works.

like to do all of this but it dont boot into bootloader doesnt mater if i push volume up or down and power on either way it vibrates 3 times than flashes led.
still... is HTC able to detect a rooted device even if it dont boot? and if so can they deny the waranty
This has happened to me 2-3 times. I definitely think it was because the battery didn't have enough charge. Try charging it for a little time. Have patience.
If its not getting charged I think there might be some problem with your charger, charging cable, charging port or battery.

wll the battery was charged 100% just before that happened - and i tried another battery after this happend - because i was about to install a new rom. so it checks aut that when i try to hboot that its vibrates 7 times than flashes green led (when vol down + power) when i start normaly or when i try to vol up + power its vibrates 3 times
and flashes a orange led ( normaly it would be red but i was on blackice mod)
i have varanty left on that thing and it was rooted s-off when i send it in are they able to see this?
and could they deny varannty?
it was only slightly oc´ed to 1.3 instead of 1 ghz thera was chainfire installed too
Windows 7 trys to recognice the device when i plug it in per usb but cant find the right driver.
thanks for the ideas

That's strange. When that happened to me it was fine when I charged up the battery.
Unfortunately, considering the fact that you can't even get into bootloader and that windows cant recognize your device I'd say you are pretty much bricked.
Do you get the splashscreen atleast? the one with the white HTC logo?
Are your volume keys working fine? I mean were they working fine before this happened?
Well I'm pretty sure that if they can't get to the bootloader, they have no way of knowing it was S-OFF. So they can't deny warranty in that case.
On the other hand, if the issue that caused this problem was indeed an issue that could've come only after someone S-OFF's then they might just deny it.
But I'm pretty sure you can fool them by maintaining that you don't know anything about how it happened.

Then download Android-SDK, open cmd, plug in your phone and type in "adb reboot bootloader".
See if that works.

Nope. Wont work. The computer has to recognize it atleast. In anycase, adb works only after the mobile boots past the splashscreen. And I think he might have already be knowing about adb since he's flashing ROM's.

thats the point ther is no splash screen at all. i think this is a great myth the comunity cant solve by now. i read this a bunch of times many post to the 3 vibrations on boot or 7 vibrations ther is suggested that the mainboard passed out but what coused this if so?
otherwise i saw post on peaople were able to fix this bug and therfore could be no mainboeard failure be possible right?
i still try to figure that out gonna make a pol thread in DHD general because i have some suspissions to this and i want to see if this checks out.
thanks anyway

[q] htc one m8: Very very urgent assistance needed please!!!

Hi there
I've been writing about my problem for days now and I still haven't sorted it out. I'm just making the problem worse everytime I read all these forums. I messed up. I rooted when I shouldn't have. I get that. Please, I beg one of you to help me.
I tried to load software this morning and it just died. Screen went back. It seeemed to have been hard bricked. But then on the XDA forum I read how to keep playing with the up down volume buttons and the power buttons and it sometimes goes on.
Mine came on and it seems to have gone to recovery / install / etc screen (big buttons). Whatever I select, it always shows restarting and then the screen dies again and I have to play with it again. Obviously the software is messed up.
What software do I load here at this screen? What do I select? Recover or install or what? Please guys, the phone is on sufficiently enough that HTC will be able to see the phone was rooted. So I won't be able to get them to help. I need your help. Please???

Can't you go to bootloader > fastboot and use RUU?
i had almost same problem and managed to do this .
connect phone to charger or to pc via usb , keep pressing power and volume up bottons , unless phone starts charging (with charging battery logo),it will take 1 minute or so , after that remove cable and push Volume down and Power button together, keep pressing for a few second and phone should boot in bootloader , then you can choose fastboot mode and do RUU method , or if you have custom recovery , you can install some rom with it or restore backup (if you have one)
1. Put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and run command fastboot getvar all and post result here (minus serial no. & imei no.)
2. Which recovery is that (you mentioned big button), TWRP ?
Hey guys
Thanks for the responses. It was just too daunting for me, so I took it to a repair centre. They will load the stock htc software on it.
Thanks anyway
OK ... no problem ...that's what we're going to suggest to you too. We have almost all the files needed on XDA

So the power button didn't work in OS before? But now it does in bootloader (assume it works, otherwise you would not be able to select the options in bootloader).
What does it say for OS number on the bootloader screen?

Unlikely. You should have been backing up your data all along; instead of wishing you did after a disaster strikes.

Phone bricked, no download mode, can't recover

So, as the title says. My phone decided to do a little update through OTA. All fine, all good.
However, during the update it suddenly switched off and rebooted. Then a nice screen popped up with the ominous message: "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use smart switch to restore the firmware". Great!
So, hooked up the phone to that app, but it says unsupported device. The emergency recovery list also remains empty. Thus, a little Google-fu later and it seemed I could also do it with Odin. I know Odin, so no problem.
Downloaded the latest firmware with Frija, extracted, loaded into Odin. Then, I tried to enter download mode by holding vol up+down while plugging in the device. No dice, still the error message. Tried it countless times with different timings, but it simply will >not< enter download mode.
I cannot turn the phone off either. Anyone knows what to do? All stores are closed for the next 2 months due to Corona so I have no phone at the moment.
ohhhhh wait to open samsung store to fix

power button & volume - for 7 secs , release when it vibrates , and immediately power button ( for 1 sec and release ) & volume + ( keep pressed ) , to get into recovery
From recovery there is an option to get into download mode
Requires perfect timing , yes ! but you will get it right
Cheers

The buttom combos do no longer work. It seems there is no download mode or recovery anymore.
Anyway, the phone now completely died on me so I have to sent it in for repairs. It will no longer even charge or turn on anymore.

Did they repair it?
I'm having the same problem. Ugh. Can't get into recovery mode
To go into download mode at least on the n975u model you turn off the phone then hold volume up and down and insert the usb cable. It should boot into the download mode.
here is the solution
keep it running to empty out the battery
make sure its dead by powering up ur device
if u r sure its dead, keep pressing the combo and connect u r device to pc.
congrats,

And from there i think if you plug it in to odin you will find that the phone is still in download mode despite not showing the correct screen. Ive flashed firmware before with the triangle warning screen on instead of download mode, it works fine. So long as there is a blue indicator showing in odin then you can flash the device.

This is the actual answer. The error that op originally got is still in fact download mode.

My brother you saved my life thank you
To anyone coming across this thread, I had the same issue as OP. Bought a "new" Galaxy S10e SM-G970F which turned out to be SM-G970N. Everything worked except updates, but I managed to flash the latest version through ODIN.
A few months later, when I tried to flash a new version, the ODIN transfer stopped mid-way and the phone rebooted to a lightblue screen with korean letters and "Smart Switch" written in English. However, Smart Switch declared that the model is not supported for reinitialization.
I tried to reach download mode somehow, as the phone could not be turned off using a key combination or via PC at this state. What @GeeAyeZee and @pcriz said is absolutely correct, THIS SCREEN IS INDEED CONSIDERED DOWNLOAD MODE.
I persisted with ODIN, trying to flash the new version 2-3 more times (rebooting the phone and PC between attempts) until eventually the process completed! Phone is unbricked. Hope this helps someone.
