Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me recover my Desire. Earlier today I tried flashing one of the alpharev HBOOTs to prepare for LeeDroid 3.0.7 Data++ edition. At some point something must have went wrong, because when I tried to do 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' the phone just turned off (or so it seemed...explanation further on). I subsequently tried pushing the power button to turn it back on, to no effect.
After leaving it for a bit (about 15 minutes or so), I decided to disconnect from the PC and pull the battery, since nothing was working. This is where the REAL problem appears. Now my phone refuses to boot, even refusing to vibrate when the power button is pushed. Here are some of my observations:
After pulling the battery and replacing it, then connecting to the charger, the 'charging' LED lights up
When I press power, the 'charging' LED goes off, but nothing else happens (no vibration, no boot sound, no screen action)
Holding the Volume Down key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) doesn't change anything regarding the boot process described in the point above
As far as I can tell, attempts to get into recovery/fastboot have failed
Holding the Back key while pressing power (after a battery pull and replace) also doesn't help
I've searched Google for about 3 hours now, and nothing I've come across seems to help. Also, this isn't an SLCD brick, since the phone has an AMOLED screen.
Any help getting the phone up and running will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
my friend warning are that no matter what DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY or it will possibly brick so in my opinion 95% you bricked your phone
hi, don't sounds good at all...
when you plug and push the power button, what does says your comp???
device unknow... nothing.
worse case scenario would be to put a PB99IMG
look at this to find the one matches with your phone (stock rom version )

hope this help
Yup you failed to flash the most fatal part of you system(the hboot), and after trying to reboot the first time, you had no way to correct the error, as it is no longer able to load the hboot in order to change anything on the flash-rom. So no pulling the battery didn't change anything, you were already bricked.
No way to bring it back through usb afaik
edit: and no ruu is very unlikely to work as well, as the hboot, which is supposed to flash it doesn't even boot.
only way i know of is jtag, which allows a specialized connector to flash the flash-rom directly through a jtag port on the motherboard, however, the riff box needed is quite expensive(129$). Good luck. I feel sorry for you.
Hi there,
I am using the Jellytime ROM with my desire HD. When turning my phone on the Jellytime splash screen appears and after that there is only a blank black screen and remains like that. Then I tried to boot the phone into recovery mode by holding down the volume down and power button but that did not work (my volume keys were working fine before) and nothing happened.
Then I looked around for solutions and I found the ADB method. With necessary drivers installed etc. I still was not able to boot into recovery mode since I cannot enable debugging mode and ADB showed the device as offline.
I have no idea what to do from now, anyone know of a solution?
Thank you.

What did you do to get in that state?
This all happened after I charged my battery from it being drained. Ive tried 3 other batteries too thinking it would make a difference but it didnt

Does your computer recognize the phone? If so what about in Fastboot USB mode?

Yeah the phone is recognized as a 'MyHTC' or something similar which I think is because of the HTC drivers I installed. I have the android phone drivers installed but the phone doesn't seem to be recognized as one.
I have tried to use fastboot via CMD but the device was offline. I cannot access the menu since I think my volume down key is not working.
Deconnect the battery, wait 1 minute, connect it again, then hold volume down (till bootscreen come) while pressing power for 1 second
Had the same problem, so i solved it
If you have the attached image on your recovery-screen (after pressing "recovery") you have no recovery-image installed
Thanks for the help everyone. I realised it was the battery case that wasnt functioning correctly. Just ripped off a piece of foil and put it between the connectors which fixed the volume button problem (i think) so i was able to boot into recovery .
Thanks.
Hi every one
i got my E988 OTA update , but it fail to boot up and Show "secure booting error cause boot certification verify"
i tried many method on this forum , but it not enter "Download Mode" and detect by the PC. Please advise anything i can try?
Thank you everyone :crying:
Make sure your drivers are installed.. Take battery out and hold both volume buttons and plug in usb

It took me a while as well to figure out the whole 'Download Mode' thing but it became easier once I got the technique down. This is my anecdotal evidence but I dont think you need to surely have drivers installed since I plugged it into my Linux machine and it still entered download mode.
This is the method I used.
1) Turn the device completely off.
2) With one hand, Hold down both Volume arrows on the device for about 3 seconds
3) Using your other hand, plug your device into your computer. (As in, already have it plugged into USB and plug the Micro-USB port into your phone)
4) And it should show 'Download Mode' on your phone.
Hope that helps!
Thank you all bro~
@shayneflashindaily thank you ~I have install/reinstall every Driver,and also got same..
@GreatCaesar: i tried your method , it got same result , still show "secure booting error":crying:
maybe its a bad cable.......
Hello Everyone
TL;DR Screen doesn't come on at all, battery led only flashes while it is rebooting (More details below), and When plugged in to my windows pc, a bunch of "Local Disk Found" pop up, some of the volumes I can access, most I cannot.
I have searched and searched the internet the past 24 for solutions, and have yet to find one. So imma walk you through what led up to the issue, as well what solutions I have tried.
Yesterday while I was trying to update my rom, I ended up getting stuck in what I thought was a boot loop. I then decided to hard reset my phone and go into recovery in hope to try to reinstall the rom. To my surprise, I could not access the internal sd card in the phone. Data was unmounted in the "Mount" settings and I could not what so ever remount it. After this I tried to side load it, but to no avail.
In response to all my attempts to fix the phone at that point, in frustration, I just said "**** it" and went into factory reset in the bootloader. This is where the hard brick happened. At this point, the screen would not come one, and the battery led was not lit when plugged in. I tried letting my phone charge over night and then, tried the "Battery Recalibrate method". I then tried the "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader"
After that, I then thought that the firmware was corrupted, so I tried to see if I could push an img to the phone, however fastboot does not see the device. I tried RUU, it does not see the device. I tried the HTC Unbrick method by Dexter that required me to install ubuntu and do some things in terminal, that also did not find the device. And here I am stuck. One thing unique to my situation that I have yet seen reported in the countless threads I have searched, is that when I plug my phone to my pc, a large amount of disk drives are found. Most of them are not accessible, but there are a couple that I can go in and see files for. Windows asks me if I want to format the ones I can't access. When hooked to my pc, I tried the the Power + volume button combinations, the only thing that seems to happen off of this is that my phone seems to reboots, and the battery indicator briefly shows.
Anyways, this is all I can remember. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't really think it is a hardware related issue since my phone does somewhat boot. However it seems it can't get to a bootloader what so ever.
Try holding power and vol up for a long time, like a minute or more. Try with and without charger attached, and after sitting on charger overnight.
If the bootloader is intact, the phone is likely not truly bricked (recoverable). And I don't see how you could have damaged hboot by the actions you mentioned.
What is the phone's original CID (carrier version) and are you s-on or s-off?

Verizon is the carrier version, and I am s-off.
Held vol + up for 5 minutes both with and without the charger. One time with the charger into my computer, and another into the wall. When it was in my pc, I can tell its doing nothing but rebooting over and over by the notification sound, and the constant "Found new disk" notifications I got. However still no luck, no screen turns on, no sign of hboot. I'm hoping to have some luck after leaving it on charge overnight and trying again.

So still nothing after leaving it on charge overnight and I held vol + up for about 5 minutes. Things seem grim.
I think the proper thing to do when you discovered internal storage was not mountable, would have been to use the TWRP option to format internal storage (in Advanced Wipe options).
But now I'm baffled as to what happened that would have rendered the phone unable to boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot won't recognize the device if you can't boot into fastboot mode, which leaves use kinda stuck.
So you didn't try to flash anything during the course of all this troubleshooting?
What you did - "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader" is totally wrong
I used to get this bunch of local disk pop-up and this is how I get out the problem
Connect the device to pc, you can hear notification sound on pc that device is connected. Ignore all those bunch of local disk pop-up
Press & hold both power button & volume up button until you hear another notification sound that device is disconnected from PC (that's the indication that device is restarted)
Release both power & volume up button and quickly press & hold volume down button (only this one button)
This should get you on bootloader

No, nothing was flashed except the original Rom update that got this snowball rolling (Not saying its the roms fault, most likely mine).

This is the one combination I forgot to mention in the op, sorry for that.
But I have tried this, before and after your post, still no luck.
If it worth mentioning, I can just hold power + down and it still reboots over and over. As well as just power. As a matter of fact, all button combinations reboot the phone over and over.

I thought the screen was dead? If so, how do you know its rebooting?

By it constantly connecting and disconnecting from my pc. If that doesn't mean its rebooting, then I guess I'm mistaken.

Well, it might mean that.
If it in fact is rebooting over and over on its won, simply holding the vol down button for a long time, should put you into bootloader (on the next reboot "cycle"). Again, assuming it is in fact rebooting, and that bootloader is intact.
I've got a dead oneplus 5t from my son. It was not charging anymore.. So I've replaced charging cable and battery.. Seemed to work it was charging... However it doesn't boot... No logo screen screen stays black/blank.
Tried several suggestions on this forum to get into recovery mode, fastboot mode... But still nothing. Only vibrating works after a few seconds.
So tried to unbrick with OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling_43_J.40_181105(OOS.5.1.7) and the qualcomdrivers..
I was able to install the drivers and I see they are installed in devicemanagement.. and an empty folder create for oneplus.
I charged the phone all night and was able to download the upgrade. It then says download complete and I tried to restart the phone..
Still just vibrating but nothing happens.. Seems like everything has vanished from the phone, no recovery, no bootloader, no files.
So how to proceed to get all the stuff on the phone? And maybe the displayscreen is dead, but how can I tell?
Also tried the SMT upgrade. Strange thing is the device and com port are seen in devicemanagement and active when I connect without volume up, but cannot start because it says When I try to use smt mode the program says: "This COM port is disable by user". With volume button up pressed and then connect, ledlight turns green but the qualcomdevice is grayed out in devicemanagement and it says waiting for device..
Any help is welcome. I am a noob in how to proceed on the phone however I have an IT background.
Spent already so many time figuring out .. maybe it's effortless and its for the trashbin.
Thanks in advance
SOLVED
I opened the phone again loosened all those tiny connections to battery, screen,charger, mainboard and re-attached them.. Somehow a connection seemed to be fitting allright as yI looked at it, but apparently wasn't :good:
