HELP! Bricked

Help, I have bricked my phone. It turns on HTC logo and stops there. I managed to get custom recovery, but I don't have anything on sd, to flash. Pls help, what to do?

This should really be in the General forum.
So you can get into Clockwork Recovery, right ?
What was the thing you did that caused your phone not to boot properly, did you flash something, update something ?

Download a Rom on your computer plug phone on computer copy Rom to your SD card if it don't read phone take SD card out and plug that in your computer then copy to SD card good luck

I don't hava anything to put it in pc. I was trying to do perm root... Is there any update.zip for Z?? Omg, I'm offline for more than hour

Were you using Visionary ?
Do you have S-OFF ? Presumably you do if you have Clockwork Recovery ?

Seriously... Aren't any of you "bricked" guys searching this forum before posting a new topic?? Geeess
Just mount your sd to your computer (use adapter), and put a rom on it. Boot into the custom recovery and flash the .zip

Yes, and then I did this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/ after doing everything on the other guide, and after 8. point I turned it off, and it doesn't boot again...

Doesn't anyone read the "don't use visionary" to root stuff anymore?
That thing causes more headaches than success stories

Another semi-brick from Visionary, there's a suprise
So when you said you "managed to get custom recovery", what do you mean exactly ? I'm not convinced you have Clockwork recovery installed, but I could be wrong.
Can you get into the bootloader (if you hold the Volume Down button and hold Power whilst it's switched off) ? Can you get into Recovery from there ?
Edit - to the previous poster - I really wish the mods would obliterate all references to Visionary and to all YouTube vids that show you how to use it ...

I used the Visionary way but that was like when root first became avalible

Just to clarify things, you werent bricked. Dont use VISIONary. Enough information is available on these boards alone that you shouldnt have any issues and should have known not to use VISIONary any longer.

I can't agree with you more on this. After using visionary for temproot for a couple of days, then using rage to achieve permaroot; the difference was night and day. You can see what's going on step by step when u use rage, instead of just hitting a button, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.

im developing a heart attack! lol. i understand this may be in the wrong section and i apoligize

boot into bootloader not recovery. It wills earch for pc36img then it will ask if you want to apply update. volume up means yes. apply and reboot. It may reboot while applying let it go until everything says "ok"

And you don't need to go into fastboot, just the bootloader.

[q] how to remove cyanogenmod 7!?? (htc buzz: Wildfire)

Please people.. i am tired of cyanogenmod. It is good. But i miss the HTC Sense. I have HTC Wildfire and i wanna remove it. Please, Please, Please! Help!
Thank you very much !

Full guides can be found by searching but basic steps are.
1.Download the Rom you wish to use,eg.Jokerdroid4.2 which is a very good sense Rom.
2.reboot into recovery
3.take a nandroid backup.
4.wipe everything except your sdcard,go through each menu in recovery and if it says wipe/format xxxThen wipe/format it NOT SDCARD.
5.flash the Rom zip you downloaded from recovery.
Possible issues.
1. You need cwm recovery 2.5.0.7
So might need to temp downgrade your cwm.if you get edify warning then this is the reason.
2. You may have to partition your sdcard for some sense roms.
This is a basic guide and like I said,search forums for details as everything you need to know is in here.

this means you forgot to flash a rom.choose recovery then goto install zip from sd and flash the rom you got on your sdcard.
if not got the rom on the sdcard yet then goto backup/restore and choose restore then choose the restore you made.
remember track pad to select.

[SOLUTION] So your Marvelc is refusing to flash a ROM

Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img

I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.

Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me

Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

so far i have managed to get unlocked BL and s-off. i have flashed some GB roms, those are nice, i like the performance gains. one problem tho, i have to take this phone back to uscc because it is a loaner opps cant seem to help myself. i downloaded a ruu for wildfire s a510c <---my device however when i run the exe i get an error?? any help would be nice tnx
file i d/l::::RUU_Marvel_C_US_Cellular_WWE_1.02.573.00_Radio_0.94.00.0824_NV_USC_1.27_0826_PRL15107_release_219163_signed

To flash the RUU, You must Relock the bootloader first.
I can't be much help on returning the phone to s-on, other than to tell you it would take an image (before you s-off'd) and some jtag kung-foo skills
Not something easy.

thanks so much for youre reply i do know some jtag kung foo skills! heh and fourteen other chinese words... this is my first ever time with an htc device! i have managed to learn a lot so far, my other device was a sgs flashed that sucker more times than girls gone wild! i am however anxiously awaiting my sgsIII
with that said, rock on with youre android device hacking...
p.s the rom i have is a stock rooted rom, of course custom kernel i added too, i can fool the uscc store upon return of the device except the phone info on lock bar ect says virgin mobile, i think its cool, but its gonna be hard to pull that one off i think lol

If you flash the RUU for your carrier it will give you a stock rom kernel and recovery so it won't say virgin mobile

Okay, maybe I can help you
Firstly, touchscreen won't work in CWM. You must use the volume up and down buttons to navigate. To click okay, press the power/camera button. Now, if you have a rom.zip on your internal storage then select install zip from internal storage and select the zip in it's respective location. Then press the power/camera button. You will get a confirmation page. Choose yes and let the flashing begin. Once the flashing is done, go back to the main menu and press reboot system now. Hope that you understand.

yeah thanks all i fixed it all last night with a lot of sweat and tears
there where 2 problems. i forgot to instal a rom on the internal storage. and when cwm9 was installed without the rom on the sd i wasn't able to get the phone conected to my pc to transfer the rom.zip. and it looked like cwm9 was running and could not turn the phone off. But after i managed to flash the stock firmware and then transfered the rom.zip and rooted my phone and installed cwm. the rom instal part was easy !
many thanks for the help also was it a bit to late but it was my own fault i dindt need to do that so late in the evening
