I think I have bricked my phone. I followed the instructions listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
but have when i restart the phone, it is just stuck on the words HTC
doesn't load into anything else.
What should I do?
Well as your phone powers on its not a proper brick, when it powers on and gets to the first boot screen like you say there is usually like a 99% chance it can be recovered.
Edit: stupid thanks button!
How long do you leave it on the htc bit before you power down again? maybe your just not waiting long enough.
left it on for 10 minutes.
all it says is "HTC" in green...
Are you able to get into hboot? Try holding the volume down key while you turn on the phone.
One easy thing to try would be to flash an RUU, make sure you find the correct one for your phone (Z or G2) and make sure its the latest one around.
That will return your phone to stock so you can attempt to root again.
yes, yes i can get into HBOOT.
my phone is a g2. How do I flash a RUU?

my mistake, wasn't aware there appears to be no way to flash a new firmware on a g2 unless its by ota.... sucks
edit: just bare with us we will have an answer for you soon.
What about recovery? There should be a recovery option in the hboot menu.
Thank you so much!!
Have you got a custom recovery?
If so, flash a new rom
I tried recovery. It turns into a blackscreen with a phone in the middle and a read triangle with a ! on top of it.
I dunno if that is telling me to not turn off the phone.

no, from your description above, you just have stock.
I have an idea that you should be able to fasboot install a new recovery, then from there you will be able to flash a new rom.

Oh ok. I think I'm a bit more calm now. So is there anything you need to know? In regards to the blackscreen with the red triangle warning sign in the middle. Can reset my phone?

I take it you know how to use adb (based on the root process you were trying to do)?

I know some. But not everything. Only the very basics. I have had a rooted hero before. I have had some experience with it.
I am not able to use adb tho. (As in, can't get it to work currently)
when i type "adb remount"
it says "error: device offline"
I have plugged in the USB cable.
basically all you need to do is find the clockwork mod recovery image file
put it in your adb folder
turn phone on hboot, and select fastboot
then type the following into your pc
"fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]"
obviously replace [recovery.img] with whatever your recovery is called (and no [])
then you should be able to boot into clockwork mod recovery and from there you can install a new rom.
before I really do anything wrong here, would you be able to direct me to an image file?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731&highlight=cwm+recovery
i have found this thread. however, there is no option to download the recovery file.

use this one for now, you can update with a newer one after your booted back to a rom

Today I was flashing a new Rom (the GingerSense Leak to be specific) and when I was in Rom Manager I decided to update my recover from 2.5.0.7 to 3.0.0.5 (not sure if either of these numbers are right). When I finally rebooted into what I thought was recovery my phone sent me to the bootloader menu. Which normally isn't a big deal and it means that the recovery version didn't take. This time when I selected reboot it rebooted back into the bootloader menu. Now I can't get anywhere, no recovery and no way to reboot the phone.
Am I F$%#ed?
I did do a search and no one has quite had the same problem I am having.
Thank you for the help in advance.

Try running an RUU.
Not sure how advanced of a user you are, but you can try and check if your phone is recognized via USB while in the bootloader and try pushing the recovery on via ADB. That way, you can just restore a good NAND instead of having to start over.

Does your bootloader show Ship S On or Ship S off? If it's S off still, you can probably just flash a PC36IMG of a recovery, using the bootloader. That looks like what teh roxxor attatched, based on the file size of the PC36IMG he attatched. If you're not S off anymore, I'd suggest running an RUU to flash you back to stock, and then start over from that point.

So where are you at exactly? Did you get the recovery flashed earlier, and your phone is back up and running? And now you're just trying to get ADB to work, and you're having trouble..? OR, are you still stuck, and never got the phone back online earlier?
Do you get an error when you try to use adb, or is it just not seeing the device?

Haha, I was confused on what you were trying to use adb for. Were you just trying to push the .zip to your sd card? The reason it wasn't working is because you were in the bootloader. ADB only recognizes if the phone is in recovery, or booted into the OS. That's why it wouldn't see adb for ya. And yes, now that you have the PC36IMG on your sd card, you should just be able to apply that using the bootloader, and then you should be able to get up and running again.
Hey,
I just made a firmware update...
The new HBoot version is now 1.36.0000
When I get into the bootloader there seems to be everything okay, except my HOX tells me that "failed to open usb master mode"....
It's just shown a very short time....
After the update I unlocked it, because I had to relock it before the update.
Now when I try to get into Recovery there is just a picture and after some time the phone reboots...
Has anyone an idea how to get into the Recovery?
I need to flash a new Rom...

I cant even go to the original boot menu...
To make things worst i can only connect usb as storage...

Did you do a full wipe (system, data, and cache) before flashing? Are you S-Off with AAHK or S-On with unlocked bootloader?

An unlocked bootloader with S-On still permits flashing of custom ROMs. Is your recovery updated? If not, do that.

The guide in post #7 of the guide in my signature is pretty clear. Read that. What is important to know is whether your phone is S-On bootloader unlocked or S-Off. Since you didn't hang on the boot splash when you flashed ARHD, I'm guessing S-Off. But just to be safe: to find this information, reboot while holding power and volume-down. That is your bootloader, known as hboot. What does it say? Finally, my hunch is that you need to update your recovery. The guide has instructions for that, but basically, download the image to your computer and flash it from fastboot.
Oh, and you may need to install your drivers on your computer. Install HTC Sync from the HTC website.

When you're tired, it's best to get some sleep. Most mistakes happen when sleepy and tired (been there!) so I'd suggest a little shut-eye and continue then
Sounds to me like the problem will get solved pretty soon, just read the guides and don't rush things. If unsure, read the guide (for what-ever you are doing) a second or a third time and don't try doing many things at the same time (ie.don't try updating your radio, rom, & recovery all at the same time ).
Pretty much anything can be fixed as long as you got recovery working so don't stress too much. Best of luck and hope you get your phone working soon :good:
Still havn´t found a solution for my problem, but i think i´m on to something....
I think the problem with my phone is the boot.img.... i can´t flash it correctly...
Dont know what program to use or what file to download.... i tried openning a command list but i and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as i´ve seen on other posts but i always get "this is not known as an internal or external command, etc...."
What can i doooooooooooooo?!!!! going crazy with this
Hey buddy, stay calm haha. I had the exact same problem. The problem is that although you tried to flash it, you nee to have the boot.img and some files including fastboot.exe. All of the files you need and how to flash the rom are in a guide by glevitan. You can just google it.

I'm pretty new at this. Was just given this phone, was going to do the update from HTC Sync, which I have since realized I shouldnt have done anyway, the phone got disconnected during the update and is now bricked. I can hold the volume button and power and get to the htc download mode. When I press reboot to bootloader, the boot to recovery mode it shows an exclamation point in an upside down triangle.
I've searched for hours trying to find a way to reflash the factory firmware and am not having any luck. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

You can also read through that thread of mine to unlock your bootloader and root the phone.
Heres a direct link to the RUU.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/bd2u64...y4/0PM3IMG.zip
Unzip the download.
Copy the 0PM3IMG.zip that is inside to a SD Card.
Put the sdcard in the phone.
Boot the phonr into download mode.
Hit volume up key to flash the ruu.
You will most likely need to do it 2 times.
Possibly more. If the phone reboots without flashing everything do it again.
You will see when it flashes system files. If it flashes system it is good to go.
Reboot the phone.

If I remember right, I booted to fastboot and typed 'fastboot oem RebootRuu' (without quotes) to get to the RUU flashing fastboot partition, then I flashed the smaller hboot ruu zip first, and the other large ruu 2nd.
I used the file downloaded by htc sync manager and cancelled the software update before it finished decompressing the archive.
I sold the one I was using but I have another at the house. I need to order a battery and screen for it and then I'll record a step by step of my method. Might be a week or so
(Sorry for the edits; I forgot the quote)
Thank you. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Well, I still haven't ordered anything for it. Taxes are coming back late, so I'm flat broke, but I haven't forgot about you. I remember it taking me a few tries to get the order just right, but once I figured it out the phone updated like butter. I had ended up soft-bricking it using the bootloader unlock method provided by @BigCountry907.
Have you gone back and tried it again? A lot of times I'll put a phone up in the box and come back to it and have it done in minutes if I just leave it alone for a while.
Will download zip file again and try it again. You never know. Can't hurt!
Any direction as to how to flash my phone if it keeps failing with my previously stated errors? I think it has a virus and it is acting possessed and generally driving me crazy. Thanks in advance!
