I used CoKeMaN's unlocker. I just followed the instructions in the command prompt. No errors. But when I booted the Vogue it was stuck on the boot screen. Also, I seem not to be able to access the rainbow colored screen thing to fix it.
I know this isn't making anything any easier, but I only have a 4GB memory card, which means I don't think I can fix it with the SD card.
I just really hope this can be fixed. I have no warranty on my phone
Reflash to latest stock ROM for your carrier. Then run the unlocker again. To get into the boot screen press the power button, camera button, then the soft rest button. Hope this helps.

Thanks. How do I get the computer to recognize the connection though, if I can't boot the vogue?
if you can get to the bootloader, you probably would be better buying a non HD microSD card and flash this way.
With the PC, I think (correct me if i'm mistaken) you need to fully boot the device before being able to run the default rom installer.
EDIT: You surely get a connexion when plugin while in bootloader, maybe try this fist

I can't get to the bootloader screen
Paraphrasing IMCoKeMaN's sig, it's stuck at the bootloader, not bricked.

Did you try holding the on/off button, the camera button and the reset to get in bootloader? Then the computer should recognize the connection to your pc.
As long as you can get to the boot loader screen you are fine. Your computer should recognize your vogue in the boot loader state. You are not the first person to have this issue & will not be the last.

I was stuck in the same senario also. Just make sure you hold on those buttons.
Ok, after several attempts I was able to get to the bootloader, and the computer recognizes the Vogue. So I can unlock it with CoKeMaN's unlocker when it's in bootloader mode?
Also, for future reference, no matter what I do, I will always be able to get to the bootloader, right? That can never break?

I would flash to a stock rom first from the HTC site http://www.htc.com/us/support.aspx. Then I would make sure your phone is unlocked by running CoKeMaM's unlocker and then try flashing a custom ROM.
By pressing those three buttons you will be able to get into bootloader.
Hello everyone,
I hope i posted in the right place...
For starters, Everyone on here has saved my phone more times than I can count. Which i thank you all for. I always search around for the ansewer before I post a question. But this one has got me good. I tried to use the unlocker, VZW TPSSPL, and somewhere along the line, I screwed up. Where I am at now, is when i install the battery to my phone, (touch pro 2 verizon) and try to power it up, i get nothing. The screen just stays black. I cant perform the hard reset, and get no response from the phone itself. BUT if I plug it in Via USB to the computer, it promts me for a driver install, qualcomm cdma MSM driver, which wont install, and i cant seem to find what i need to do. I have already started the process to get a new phone, but if theres still hope to retrieve it, i would be very happy. if not, its my fault and i will take my medicine. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try entering the bootloader by holding down the Volume Down & Power key while your phone is turned off. You should see a 3-color screen with some info displayed.
If this works, connect your phone with a usb cable and you should be able to flash it

It sounds like you installed a CDMA ROM. If you only installed a CDMA ROM, not a CDMA boot loader, then you can recover by flashing back to a GSM ROM. I would use a releasted ROM for your device - look on the ROM development forum.
EDIT: Try and go into bootloader mode: hold the DOWN volume key while pushing the RESET button. If you get the tri-color screen, you should be OK to load a different ROM.

I am getting nothing from it. I cat get into the bootloader screen. The only thing thats hapening is, when i plug it in to my computer, it tries to install a "qualcomm technologies CDMA MSM" "driver", but it cant instal it. I have serched for it too, with no luck. I do have insuracnce, so I'll just pay the deductable, i dont have the money for it, but then again, who does? lol Sorry i havent responded sooner, but without my phone, i have to use a LG ENV TOUCH, The phone works great, but it cant do anything. I miss my TP2. Thanks for all the help.
Are you using the correct combination for the bootloader?
Power Button + Volume Down + Reset Button. means, do a soft reset while holding the "volume down" key and power key on the side of the device. hold these keys until you see a special tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode.
Put a rom on your sd card, enter bootloader and flash.

Yeah, that is the problem. I believe he installed the CDMA on a GSM device. I've heard you can get past that, but not if you install the CDMA bootloader. I don't know, maybe the loader is installed with they burn a CDMA ROM.

I know. But he might have flashed a CDMA bootloader onto a GSM phone. Which is why I asked.

Quite possible. I just flashed a 6.5 ROM onto my phone, and I know darn well it replaced the SPL. If indeed there was a CDMA bootloader placed onto a GSM phone, I believe it takes a JTAG to recover from that
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. And I have tried all sorts of diferent ways trying to get it in the bootloader screen, and even waited 30secs while holding down the buttons. As far as the CDMA vs GSM, I did alot reading, mainley for re-assuring myself, and I have come up with CDMA, I even ran the phone with the sim card out when running android, which I was able to run using the CDMA setup. There was even a proccessor break down somewhere, to help determine weather it was CDMA, which I used in conjunction with everything else. What I think may have happend: Either I didnt read something right, and tried using a GSM unlocker, instead of a CDMA unlocker, which I really DONT think so, but its possible. The other thing is, mabey I used the proper unlocker, and when the screen went black on my phone, I may not have waited long enough for everything to happen, and I may have unplugged the USB to soon, causing the unlocking proccess to not finish. I waited for what seemed to be a long time, but I may not have waited long enough. The 3rd possiblity, is that my battery died in my phone, and trying to get it into the bootloader isnt going to happen. I dont think that is the case, only because, A: My battery had a full charge when I started. and B: my Ma Dukes has a TP2 and i used her battery as well, with no luck. Thanks again for the replies everyone, I'm glad you guys are here to help.

That might of did it. Sounds like you didn't let it flash.
I saw a couple people had the same issue that im now having but none of there solutions solved my problem
i wiped my GS3 for ATT tried to go back to a stock with root rom and when it rebooted it now just hangs at the samsung logo at boot tried re-flashing via odin with no luck also tried flashing a CWM.tar since i cant get into stock or CWM recovery to flash from there is there something im missing i know its late and maybe my brain isnt working like it should
Solved the problem myself.....and rather then just say i figured it out ill share how i did this since i watched countless videos and read endless amounts of threads and since none of them helped mem
First also try t put your phone into stock recovery mode and wipe your phone then flash this should take care of things if it doesnt try what i tried below
and i hope this can help someone else out there who has the same problem that i had all you have to do is the following i did this with obviously an AT&T model should work with others but as always try at your own risk.....
First make sure your battery has a charge even if its stuck on the boot screen its still charging....
then download KIES from samsung update it and make sure you have the latest version.
Next plug in your phone if your stuck at the samsung screen your computer will recognize your phone still at least it did with mine.
Once your done with the above open up KIES goto the top and then TOOLS and Firmware upgrade click on that enter your phone model (ATT SGH-I747) i dont get this part but next it will ask you for your SN and for some reason it doesnt recognize the SN use your IMEI
Now it should ask you a couple questions tell you its wiping your device and you will lose everything etc.....but then it will download the latest FW and begin to install everything and in about 20-25 mins everything will be back to stock
Nvm.. misread.
I'm stuck too...and Kies can't find the phone. Anyone have any other ideas? I can't even get into recovery...only download mode.

Okay, this brought the menu up for me, but I removed the data,cache, and reset the phone and it is still not working. Also, my phone just goes black after the Galaxy Samsung S3 logo, but the blue light in the top left is still on. Can anyone help me out?
P.S. Sorry for reviving this thread if it is too old.
Edit: I should also mention that I can still hear the sound of the phone booting up (the sound that typically occurs when the phone is on the white loading screen). However, the screen is black at this point.

Ah, sorry about not providing enough information. Please keep in mind that I am very inexperienced and I may get some things incorrect just due to that. To my understanding, I went to try and root my phone, but beforehand I used the guides below to get my phone ready for the root (yes I do realize at this point that using these outdated guides was a clear mistake and I should have come to XDA instead). I flashed my phone to the stock kernel using the file that site provided, and then encountered the problem above. In my panic I have tried to restore the phone through several methods, but every time I try to load anything onto it with Odin, it doesn't complete until my phone restarts (and my phone won't boot up completely) so I can't get the pass message. Interestingly enough I did manage to get clockwork mod installed as that is what shows up when I try a secure boot using the methods that you described.
Ah, I am unfortunately not allowed to post links. The guides were off of Android Authority.
If there is any other information needed to help me please let me know and I will do my best to obtain it.

Sounds like you need to clear your cache partition and clear your dalvik cache. There are several guides on this site to help you. Choose the one that is most appropriate to what you are trying to do and follow it EXACTLY. There is one to start. Follow it from the beginning.

When nothing else works start over from search. You cab use download mode? First make sure you got right drivers as that can mess up Odin. Use one in my Sig if you want. Then flag stock recovery with root someone nice will part a link to it I'm on my phone can't do it. Well fix your phone

Okay now I am running into another problem. I have tried downloading the drivers from many different places and they always seem to be correctly downloaded. That being said, I can't install the drivers after I plug my phone into the computer (after downloading and installing Samsung USB drivers). Therefore, I cannot access my phone storage to put the root zip file on it. I was still able to download the custom recovery.
Now I have gone to a different computer, and the drivers seem to install correctly, but the phone still does not appear under my computer.
Edit: I do already have a root zip file on my phone from my earlier attempt, but I install it and my phone still doesn't load up. Also, Odin still recognizes the phone.
Edit 2: Windows says that the drivers cannot recognize the device. Edit 3: "Hardware ID Missing"

Sorry, I really need help for this. I can't install the MTP drivers even through using some of the tips on this site. That seems to be the problem with me accessing the phones storage from my computer. Does anyone have an ideas for what else I could do? Should I just take it to the store and hope they can fix it?

go to your device manager on your computer, locate samsung drivers for your device, uninstall them
restart your computer
then plug in the phone and lets it reinstall by itself
Use my drivers in my signature
They are last good damaging drivers. Don't update them but install them and plug phone in with no internet. after install plug internet in. There good stable drivers

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help
Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?
Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.
As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue

At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.
when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.
I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?
It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.
Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.

Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.
Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.
Sorry Dude, I can't help much either I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you
2. There is a possibility that you could "brick" or bootloop your phone. There are two types of brick: soft (recoverable) and hard (non-recoverable). With a soft brick, the phone will not boot or keeps rebooting ("bootloop"), but it can be started in bootloader mode which allows repair of the ROM. With a hard brick, the phone won't even boot into bootloader after holding the power button for 10 seconds and the phone must be returned to HTC for service.

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.

I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless . now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.
Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.
Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.
In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.
After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.
Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:
So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you
I have spent the last 3 days searching XDA & trying every possible fix, no luck!
Here's my dilemma.....
I have custom recovery, TWRP 2.6.3.3, don't know what I did after trying to flash something........ I wiped everything except SDcard by accident. Like a darn fool, forgot after backing up everything via computer, to put a spares on my SDcard. Sooooo, I tried restoring by using LG FlashTool..... Here's where my problems began:
1. I can't load into download mode, it sticks at the logo to enter download mode but doesn't connect.
2. I tried ADB Sideload, sticks at "STARTING ADB SIDELOAD FEATURE.........."
3. No matter what mode (including Fastboot) I try, just won't connect to my computer the way I need it to. (*ALL DRIVERS HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, STILL NO LUCK.*) When I look in DEVICE MANAGER, it shows in "OTHER DEVICES" as "LG-LS980" (*Which is a good thing right? *)
At this point i'm at my wits end...... I tried to HARD FACTORY RESET, but didn't go thru. I'm afraid that if I tried it again, I could cause even more damage.
I've been without my phone for days & I'm about to go crazy if I have to pay LG or Sprint again for another phone!!!! I'd rather use my $600 on something else.
PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAS FOUND A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS!
I've searched just about every forum & tried different methods.
Forgot to add that every time I power off from recovery, I get a the message about my device not being rooted, would I like to install..... When I swipe to install, nothing happens. Just powers off.

3. No matter what mode (including Fastboot) I try, just won't connect to my computer the way I need it to. (*ALL DRIVERS HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, STILL NO LUCK.*) When I look in DEVICE MANAGER, it shows in "OTHER DEVICES" as "LG-LS980" (*Which is a good thing right? *)
At this point i'm at my wits end...... I tried to HARD FACTORY RESET, but didn't go thru. I'm afraid that if I tried it again, I could cause even more damage.
I've been without my phone for days & I'm about to go crazy if I have to pay LG or Sprint again for another phone!!!! I'd rather use my $600 on something else.
PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAS FOUND A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS!
I've searched just about every forum & tried different methods.

So try this...
Push the power button to turn the device on. Let it sit.
After you know that the g2 is on and trying to do its think, Press and hold power buttton, do not let go. It will force turn off the phone, but it will start to turn back on, if you keep holding the power button till it shuts off for the second time, you'll be set and the device will be fully off.
Have Lg Flash Tool open, make sure you have manual mode on and you point to the right dll and right tot file, could be zv7 zv8 or zva.
Click the arrow to have the flash tool biin check the files. when that is ready, do this next part fast. Plug in your phone, and immeditaly press and hold Volume up and Power. Download mode should appear.
and you should be good from there! If you try to enter download mode by using volume and up without the cable plug in, you'll hit the factory reset menu which is tied to the recovery, it'll do nothing, only take you to recovery. I hope this is of some help!
Edit:try new boot loader or system flasher via twrp
proplem i faced is one button which used to enter recovery is damged
Flash stock Ignoring the unmonted ianot able to be mounted then change system partitions u will be able to mount
Enjoy

I'm now completely lost.....
Ok... So i made a little progress....
I am now able to boot into fastboot mode.... No recovery now tho. If someone can help me with manually pushing everything I need to restore my phone, it would make my day!
I'm having withdrawal symptoms now. LOL! I MISS MY PHONE!
Problem solved!
Flashed all the partitions 1by1 via fastboot, was able to then reboot into download mode. Now using LG FlashTool to return to stock! I am now a very happy camper after a week w/o my phone!

Glad to see you've fixed your problem! I myself haven't been around, had some down time to. My sim reader magically stopped working and then randomly started working days later. Anyway, congrats!!!

Glad you figured it out. I was about to basically explain the steps to do exactly what you did.
Welcome back to the land of the living!

After she got it the first time, which we both congratulated her for, something went completely wrong. She dug herself even deeper, but broke download mode. That was extremely fun to fix.
