ok here's the story i was flashing a new rom to my evo and after i rebooted it it gave me an icon of a little android man with an arrow coming out of a box and when it went away the phone would not come back on, it still gets power and when connected to a computer it tries to install a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" but nothing on the screen of the evo, i can't boot into recovery or anything the screen just stays blank, is it dead or can i fix it somehow?
take the battery out, put it back in, then reboot
*not liable for this advice, but has worked for me.
Tried that no luck tried with just the power cord no luck tried both no cigar it just doesn't do anything

i think there might be possible for you to put your SD card in your computer, copy over the PC136img zip, then reboot into recovery and flash it so you can get back to working.

What ROM were you flashing? What root method did you use? Are you fully unlocked (+NAND)? These are all questions we need answers to before we can help.
Yes I was fully rooted nand and all, I used the latest clockwork recovery to flash the new cm6 and followed all the install instructions on the forum exactly (wipe data wipe cache flash latest radio etc) after I flashed the rom I hit the reboot to system button and it showed me the box with the android guy coming out of it when that went away I couldn't get the unit to start up at all

Can you connect it to your compter? Will adb recognize the device? If so, it may be possible to issue the 'adb reboot recovery' command and restore your NAND backup. If not, I don't know what you can do.
when i hook it to the computer the only device that it recognizes is the "qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM" which i haven't been able to find a driver for i had the adb driver installed on my computer and it doesn't recognize when plugged in
Ok so I did some digging and found a driver that loaded up no problem for the qualcomm device, it was an adb device and in device manager it said it was running fine but when I went to issue the adb reboot recovery command adb returns that there's no device connected I tried several other drivers as well with the same results best I can figure somehow the only portion of the phone that's receiving power is this one device as my battery was completely dead when we tested it in my friends evo (charging it then transplanting to my evo didn't work either) so it looks to be dead

I had a similar issue when I installed CM6. Hung at the boot screen. I was able to boot into recovery using ADB. I don't think the computer showed that the phone was connected...I don't remember though. Try to run reboot recovery from ADB again. My second install attempt worked perfectly...loving CM6!
Try to instal the original ruu from your computer.

This is an older thread but just happened to me (updated radios) so I googled it. I tried rebooting many times with the volume down but would not go into recovery. Same qualcomm thing while I was reading this thread it magically booted. All I had to do was wait a couple of minutes (no more than 5). I panicked because of the screen but its all good.
I was running a Desire Rom on my Incredible when the phone reset vibrated 5-times and would not reboot..after plugging into charger I was able to get the phone to boot , but lost root and phone was s= on. After reading other threads I was able to use hboot and load the 2.2 stock rom back on the device. Currently the phome is S=on , .092 Hboot I tried to use unrevoked3.2 but fails to push the file when connected. I also have tried to use the fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 command but I get malformed error...Since I cannot connect to adb I will reformat my computer and reinstall the drivers seems to have gotten messed up somehow.
Tried ubuntu just hangs and unrevoked doesn't work with MacOs 10.58
any help would be appreciated

happened to two of my phones, if you have it plugged in to A/C charging, and pull it out from charge while on the boot logo it should stay on. little trick thats been learned. call for a refurb, they wont have any prob replacing it. 1800-922-0204

Thanks was hoping to be able to fix it....
My HTC Desire is ok most of the time.
Until i plug my usb cable in & try to download,then i get a reboot & have to reconnect & try again to no avail. I am trying to root my phone with unrevoked 3 & get to the point where the phone is being rooted & my phone will reboot at the same position each time. My phone is currently loaded withCyanogen7.03
I was trying to load another rom & had the same problem of rebooting, that is when i thought i would reroot my phone.Is there anyone that can lead me in the right direction .
Partial USB Brick.
Is the phone more or less operational?
You run AlphaRev by chance? (S-Off)
Surprised you ran unrevoked again when you were already rooted.
Try this; flash your cwm recovery through ROM manager to get the latest version.
Do all your wipes as usual.
Flash Cyanogenmod7 again.
Also, you can run a search for USB Brick. I've seen several of these as of late in numerous forums.
One more question, does it reboot when you plug it in to charge?
If not, you're lucky.

Hey,
the problem is i broke (half display broken) my phone and since it was out of the warranty period i gave it to a local cellphone seller/repair shop who fixed it but downgraded the firmware and android version 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7.1) to stock 2.2.1 .....The phone is still S-OFF with HBOOT 1.01.0002...but when i connect my phone with USB to the computer i dont get the USB logo from which i can select disk drive, htc sync etc. i gave it back but the person said it would cost another Rs.2500 (approx. $50) so there is no point.
Is there anyway i could root the phone ? I guess i know the answer but still since im a noob at this...maybe
Thanks in advance :good::fingers-crossed:

Check you phone setting in the connect to PC setting as follow:
Go to > Setting > Connect to PC > Ask me (Tick = Enable). Enable this will ask your choice of USB connection if connected.
Try to change the default connection type to Disk drive if you need to transfer file.
Alternative way of transfer file from PC to your phone sdcard will be using bluetooth.

I tried that, but i dont have Clockwork recovery anymore when i select recovery i get that red triangle with an exclamation mark behind a phone logo. (phone is HTC Wildfire....i missed that out...sorry)
Thanx, if you could help more it would be amazing (pressed Thanks anyways :highfive: )
what i meant was this...
Drop box.......
Or download a PC49IMG.zip containing clockwork mod recovery from here directly to your phone, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12782368
You'll then need the superuser binaries in a flashable zip too to get root on the stock rom however I think cm7 and most custom roms are pre rooted.
Edit:
The phone is still S-OFF with HBOOT 1.01.0002..
Or did you s-off via HTC dev? If so you'll need the fast boot method.

Yeah, was S-OFF'd and rooted + flashed with CM7.1 before its broke. i had used HTC dev site to unlock bootloader, then downgraded the HBOOT and then rooting it using UnrEVOked method.
I think i should mention that revolutionary opened on recovery but i couldnt select any options so i flashed it from 'ROM manager' app. (could this have something to do with anything whatsoever ?)
I am sorry for this but could you please explain or post a link by what you mean by this ?
"You'll then need the superuser binaries in a flashable zip too to get root on the stock rom however I think cm7 and most custom roms are pre rooted."

Thank you so much :highfive:
i tried that again, but as i said earlier the computer does not detect that the phone is connected to it. I tried it with 2 other laptops and a computer, all of which do detect my other phone.

Unfortunately I've cleared out my drop box now and don't have it anymore, can someone upload a superuser zip for him please?
It contains all the files required to install superuser or in simple terms root the phone, you simply flash it from recovery but first you need to get clockworkmod recovery up and running.
As for the recovery, I don't understand what you mean by it opens to revolutionary but can't select anything?
Firstly you are using the trackball to select an item, not the power button.
Secondly rom manager is overhyped and can't give you a permanent recovery. The PC49IMG method won't work after the HTC dev downgrade I don't think, so the only way to flash a new recovery is by using fastboot, its all explained in the link I posted above.

Sorry I didn't see that, well if all your computers don't see the phone that rules out your USB cable being broken provided your using the same cable between the wildfire and sensation. The only 2 things I can think of stopping it from working could be the mini USB port on the side of the phone is broke but I suppose your still getting a charger to work so its probably not that, the 2nd thing could be driver related, uninstall all the drivers for the phone and also htc sync, reboot the PC and then reinstall them and try again.
If that doesn't work then I'm stumped, unfortunately I don't think there is a way to root without USB as you can't use the pc49img.zip method to install recovery. Thank HTC dev for that.......

Hmm i tried that, nothing doing.... i just with the root was as easy as samsung...HTC has too much hassle there is a hardware problem and i was anyways doubtful there could be a way.
Anyways, thank you all so so very much for your help and time. much much appreciated :good:
Yeh they supposedly unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev tool........
Only they didn't unlock it fully, the radio partition is still locked + hboot still has security enabled which you've just found out
After reading the HTC dev website warnings when it was first released I and others tried to warn people away from it for these reasons as it can just make life difficult when it doesn't need to be. I know the other way is a bit more confusing and takes a bit more time but definitely worth it as it unlocks everything except the simlock.
Samsungs are easy, altogether it took me 3 minutes without even touching the computer.
Anyway you have a sensation to play with, I'd sell the wildfire while they are still worth £30 ish to a second hand shop like cash converters or something if you have anything like that nearby, don't mention the USB problem they most likely won't check it thoroughly, good luck........

Well, firstly htcdev does not give s-off only unlocked boot loader so you phone must have met a xtc clip at some stage. You should take the pg49img.zip posted here before and put it on the root of the SD card. Then turn off the phone. Then hold power and volume down. The device will boot to hboot and ask you if you want to update. Select yes. Then reboot to hboot and scroll down to recovery and then select it. Then flash the super user zip file and you will be rooted. Also enable USB debugging and then connect to PC and see if it shows us.

Oh yeh, silly me.... I forgot HTC dev says s-on and unlocked, if it says s-off it should still work.

Done, well partially...i got the pc49img.zip process done but whenever i boot using 'hold power and volume down' the phone asks me again if i want to install the .zip before i can select recovery....should i try removing the pc49img.zip from the SD card and then try ?
[EDIT] okay did that and clockwork recovery worked and....AND I HAVE ROOT !!!!!
Thank you all so much !!!!
Scratch0805 and heavy_metal_man especially !!!!
Now i am flashing CM 7.2 stable, is there a better ROM ? could you please tell in any ?
Thanx a billion again woo hoo !!
Yes delete it or simply rename it, i usually left it there but just renamed it to PC49IMG.zip.recovery just incase i ever needed it again.
Should be ok to flash cm7 now.........

I am stuck at a boot-loop where the blue guy come across and there is an arrow circulating around him .....what do i do ? its been like this since 3 hours
i also re-flashed it and removed the battery and did that a couple of times
Searched all over and google yada yada yada. So i end up opening a thread here.
Hello guys/babes/kids/oldfags/ifags in disguise . I have a galaxy nexus here that will only boot into
-download mode,
- fastboot (not working at all, pc wont detect its fastboot and buttons all dead when in recovey/fastboot)
- safe mode - will boot into safe mode if i did combo buttons when attached to charger/pc
The story :
When i booted it from batt pull via only power button press, it will go into download mode straight and if i power off or factory reset in safe mode, it will reboot back into safe mode.
I cant flash anything since fastboot is broken. Ive tried Odin back to factory image of Galaxy Nexus GSM ICS and Jellybean but the prob isnt solved and fastboot is still broken. Tried repartition and bootloader update in ODIN yet still fail. And after every successful flash of repackaged stock, it will directly boot into safe mode (for both ICS and JB factory image). Why i didnt flash using fastboot? Fastboot is broken that is. Lets continue...
Other hardwares are still fine as in safe boot, ive tested all the buttons, display, calls, speaker etc. This is fastboot relate i believe as no matter what pc ive tried and all types of gnex drivers i tried. It wont even fart when connecting to pc(win7 x86). ADB works fine though when i booted into the safe mode. Im able to do adb stuffs but whenever i query it to reboot to fastboot or recovery, a dead end again. OMAPflash the tuna edition for omap4460? Tried yet still the same.
Additional facts : The phone was not unlocked and tempered by any way before the prob happened but now the bootloader is unlocked after i flashed the repackaged ODIN (chainfire posted it)
So XDA Gnex'ers, LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

First of all, bricked mean there is nothing beside a black screen. Nowaday device are hard to brick. second, One does not simply flash a gnex with odin. It's simply a big wtf that is shining through my head. 3rd, if fastboot is not working, it's because it need a special driver that i suppose you didnt install. If you can boot your phone in fastboot but can connect to it, it's because you have a broken USB port, which is not the case since you can access adb. 4th, i'm still trying to know how you achieved this. It look to me you were following some instruction and it either ended, tl;dr i will skip a few step, hope it will work which didnt or you missed electricity. Install Kies, get your phone in download and recover your phone from it. Never attempt again to play on custom rom. Man, how can someone derp a galaxy nexus, it is like the easiest device to work with.

Thx for the reply.
Some clarification here, im not the owner of this phone. Im using 9100 and im just helping a friend to recovery. Ive tried few pcs and it wont even fart when i plugged in during fastboot or recovery (i read someone that in recovery you can do some commands) but the pc(s) wont even detect a hardware being plugged in.
Plus, in fastboot, i cant press any of the hardware keys. No vol up or vol down and the power button dosent work in recovery. I only got to the 3e stock recovery via 'adb reboot recovery' during in fast mode where it booted into the relaxing chillin android with the triangle + red exclamation mark on its tummy. Pressed all buttons and it went to the 3e recovery.
At the 3e, only power button works. I cant toggle a bit using the vol keys. Note that the vol buttons work to boot the phone into fastboot and download mode and also during safe mode, all the keys works flawlessly.
So, i tried the odin method to recovery this living Gnex but with a faulty heart and kidney but it will still boot to safe mode regardless of ICS or Jellybean.
How did this happen?
I have no idea. The owner of the phone claimed that he has never rooted or tempered it in any way. Plus it was still on ICS when i first got the phone (all data was still intact but it was in safe mode at that time).
Regarding drivers, ive attempted many pcs with almost every drivers available. Shall i list em here:
- KIES
- Naked Nexus drivers
- PDA.net
- the 'official' gnex verizon driver set which is said working on GSM devices etc.
Tried those and adb+download mode works fine. Pcs detect em and tried to install the hardware n search for the drivers but not in fastboot. Its just dead.

Adb works fine so im able to pull anything when its booted. Im not sure if we can pull anything in download mode. Adb/fastboot didnt work in download mode. Am i correct? Mind to share some light here on this. And in fastboot, none. No vol keys to operate and the 4-5 pc ive tried wont even fart a sound or hint anything saying a hardware connected. Its like its a dead circuit plugged only in fastboot.
This is quite a super rare case here. Most of the dead gnex i found on the next and also in XDA has a working fastboot that only needs drivers to make it working but on this unit, even the vol keys is dead. Awkwarddddd

Great to know you are not the one who did that . So if i understand correctly, you say download mode work ? If yes, flash another stock rom from chainfire using odin. No one wan't to flash with odin, but if fastboot is not working, you shall at least try it. Also, when you are putting the phone in download mode and connecting it to kies, it should detect it has to be restored. i would say the main reason for it to not work is that android debugging is not ticked in developer options. But that would be strange that adb work on safe mode. There is probably a way to that with adb but you will have to google it. Tell your friend to follow instruction next time. And ffs, do not use odin ! (Little idea too, try to get in fastboot not connected on PC and wait a few minutes then see if you can move with the volume button, then try to connect it on pc)

did you try flashing google's factory image in odin??
my fastboot once was unresponsive, but rebooting into it fixed it
from safemode, if you adb reboot bootloader it is unresponsive?

only suggestion left is to just boot into fastboot, leave it alone for awhile (5-10 mins), then try and plug it in and mess with it.
Try doing the whole driver thing mentioned above but instead of flashing a Google image just do the boot loader portion, what settings are you using to flash in Odin?
Sparx639

adb does not work in download mode/bootloader. adb only works when adbd (adb service) is started, and that happens in android boot process. it means android debug bridge.

Sorry for the long delay to anyone waiting for the answer/status.
Jtag cant fix it. Returned the device to a friend. Prolly a mobo replacement is the solution but its damn pricy here in Malaysia. It costs 80% of the price to get a new Gnex.
Hell yeah and thx to everyone supporting this.
