Every time I try to use the CWM and turn off and then turn on my phone and i press the - volume down button, it get stuck in the sony ercisson screen and the only way to pull back the phone is removing the battery.

Hi guys
I have a stock unrooted Desire HD which a friend borrowed from me & he gave back to me broken. Grrrr!
Basically what is happening is when you power on the phone, everything seems normal at first, the phone boots up, the HTC logo appears for a few minutes as it's loading & it brings me to the lock screen as normal.
When the phone is unlocked, however, the HTC logo appears again & the phone reboots, repeating the cycle all over again.
I've tried to factory reset the device to no avail.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get this phone up and running again?
I did want to root it & flash another ROM to it, but from what I can remember (i have another Desire HD which I rooted a year ago) the phone needs to be working in order to install the required software to root it.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated

Well, I would try to do a full wipe first (thou you have already done a factory reset). Then, I would try to flash a ruu, if that is not working, you can run the Kit from fastboot choosing that option, but of course you have to make sure that you have no hardware issue of the phone could end up useless.
What did he do to end up like that??
Hi glevitan
thanks for your advice. I have no idea what he did. He lives overseas and was visiting here so I gave home the phone to borrow while he was here.
Then when he went back home a few months ago, he gave the phone back to me & I haven't powered it on until now. So I haven't had a chance to ask him.

That is strange, is the bootloader unlocked and have you installed any custom roms on it? The more ifno you cabn give about the phone and its present condition the better

Do you still have the custom recovery installed? If so the best bet would be to do a wipe data from the revcovery and re isntall CM9 personally i would isntall CM10 and see how you get on. Have added different Roms to phones and sometimes a fresh install will sort out most problems.
No even soft bricked....
But why so slow boot no idea. It's very weird 20 mins boot!

20 minutes for a boot ?
Did you install anything prior to this ?
Did you modify anything prior to this ?
All I can think of is a system file being misplaced ...

Can u boot into recovery, or do u have a nandroid backup... check that u format system as well as data.

Try wipeing the delvic cache.. maybe itll help.
I think it's the hardware problem.

My SGS2 was working all morning until I pulled it out of my pants after class today.
It was on rooted stock ics, and I have no idea how it could have bricked in the first place.
First symptom was a bootloop. Since I wasn't anywhere near a computer, I decided I would just factory reset/wipe data and cache from the recovery.
After the phone rebooted, it would not proceed further than the "SAMSUNG" screen. I could not enter recovery mode at this point.
I get home and I odin the same stock 4.0.4 ics onto the phone, as well as 4.0.3.
As of now, only download mode works. Every time I try to boot to recovery mode, it gets stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen. Normally, the Samsung logo would have a glowing effect, but it seems to be frozen now. The animation for the battery is also frozen when it is plugged in when turned off.
Seeing as it can at least get into download mode, I am assuming there is still hope in fixing it without having to send it somewhere else?
Help is much appreciated :]
what recovery are you using?
what do u mean odin the stock ics? if your recovery isnt working, then just odin into a older recovery of cwm, here is the tar file http://www.mediafire.com/?nz97zv1g13d1tcz after that you will have your recovery back working again.
So what I did was reflash the stock kernal in hopes of unbricking my phone. Hope that clarifies things...
I just tried your method above, and it didn't work. It is still stuck on the samsung screen after rebooting. x_x
Use this link http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-unroot/ it well set u back to stock. Once it is done wait the 10 mintues then boot into the stock recovery and clear cashe and factory reset. After that set up ur phone then reroot it make back up then flash away. Did this a couple of days ago working fine now. Good luck!!!

biglil1, I believe method you described would fix phones most likely bricked from custom roms.
However, my phone has never use a custom rom and it is on stock already; it has only been rooted. I have tried reflashing the same stock back to my phone but I have had no luck. Again, it was working fine but suddenly bricked mid day. I wasn't trying anything super fancy that would have bricked the phone in the first place.
Someone please help, I tried looking everywhere for an answer...
Its not just for reseting from a costum rom it can be used to return ur phone back to stock like the first time u unboxed it. When plugged in do u see a box highlighted yellow? If so try it again but revert back to GB then use Kies to update to ICS. Make sure u have the latest drives. Hopefully this way well work. As long as ur phone has some type of response u can recover it. Just keep tring make sure u dont unplug untill Odin says "pass" and ur phone reboots by its self.

If you are referring to the yellow box on odin, then yes I see it. I do not think I have a connection problem; everything seems fine and I see pass on Odin. I will try to revert back to now GB and see how that goes.
I swear people need to learn what Odin is ...for god sakes it what roots your phone

Tried flashing to stock GB twice now and no luck. I will do it a couple more times just to make sure....
bump, nothing has worked so far. What should I do now?
did you flash through odin or recovery? if you did it through odin, what kind of errors are you getting? maybe your download is bad? try to download from another source.

Stuck on the samsung logo.
The battery drained dead, and I waited until I got home to charge it. I plugged it in and the grey battery popped up and a loading wheel, but it froze.
Now it doesn't turn on. I switched batteries and it goes to the samsung logo and sits there. I tried VolUP+VolDown+HOME+Power and All the other button combos and still nothing just goes to samsung screen and reboots, then I notice the led light flashes red very faintly and once quickly then the logo comes back up.
Any ideas?
Did you root or install custom recovery?

No I haven't tried to do anything of the sort. I just got this phone when it got released, and haven't explored that much with it yet. It just suddenly doesn't work after the battery drained dead.
I would just go back from where you bought it a get it exchanged then.

Sucks.
Root install recovery and clear cashe partition and dalvik cashe. Use stock rom image with SU injected and do not wipe. Or exchange and loose everything

My girlfriend drained her battery until the phone shut off. Had to leave it on the charger for almost an hour before it would boot. I thought it should boot as soon as I plugged it in but that's not the case. Try letting it sit and charge for awhile.

I left it on the charger for almost 3 hours. And nothing, not even the loading icon over the battery would disappear.
Could someone point me in the right direction for rooting etc... as the user described above?

Not sure your going to be able to root with a non-booting phone. Here are a couple links about rooting
Chainfire's method you need download mode
mrRobinson's root injected stock Roms, also need download mode
Good luck hope one of these works for you.
Just my $0.02 worth.
My suggestion is make sure you are using the original, Samsung battery. Let it charge for 8 - 10 hours. Take it off the charger, remove the battery from the phone, wait several minutes; then replace the battery and try to boot.
If that doesn't restore, I'd take it back to the store from which you purchased it, and see if a new, oem battery will let it boot. The store should try to do everything they can to help, short of replacing the phone. But it may just be your phone has gone bad -- in which case rooting isn't going to help...
Good luck.

Intall CWM with odin then reboot in recovery and install stock rooted .zip or stock based ROM. Its called a dirty install. You can do this by placing the .zip in a microSD then install from external in CWM. You will end up with all your old crap but the .zip will replace your corrupted files. I recommend you save everthing as soon as it boots and yhen do a clean install of whatever ROM you want even if its stock.

reinstalled stock ROM, stuck on logo
I recently got an AT&T note 2. I rooted and installed cwm recovery. I tried installing Android Revolution HD 5.0 after running their superwipe script. Everything went smoothly except the SIM was not recognized. I couldn't get it to work so I tried 2 other ROMs and I had the same issue. I decided to go back to stock and wait for Cyanogen to release a ROM.
The issue I am having now is that the stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 and another stock ROM (KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar) won't boot. I can successfully push them to the phone from Odin, but then they reboot and get stuck on the Samsung logo. The phone doesn't give any error messages, no strange leds on, no reboots, it just sits there with the Samsung logo pulsing. I can still boot into the download mode (vol down, home, power).
Any advice on how to get to a functoning ROM? At this point I don't care if it is stock or custom, I just need something that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should only flash ROMs from the "AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development" section. I think Revolution HD is not an AT&T ROM, I don't know about the other ROMs you flashed (as you didn't say what they where). Those ROMs probably flash a non AT&T compatible radio on you phone. You should read and re-read and make sure you know what to do and what ROM can can flash before you start flashing.
Do you have a custom recovery installed, CWM or TWRP? Have you tried using a different computer and different cable?
Maybe try flashing the AT&T modem and them a correct ROM and see if that helps. Honestly, I'm not sure how to help you beyond that.
Good luck...

I was able to get into the cwm recovery and load a new ROM onto the external SD card, then install it. I went with the Jedi ROM this time and it worked. I think you are correct that I was using ROMs for the wrong version of the phone. Everything is up and running and I have full functionality. Thanks for the tip!

get yourself a jig dude, if you were really stuck you could have just put that badboy in and it would take you to dl mode, from there you could have odin'd yourself anywhere you wanted to. A thought for next time you get yourself into a situation you think isn't recoverable.
if you are a in a bloop you can usually get to recovery and from there sort yourself out. I know you are ok now, but this may still help someone else.
A jig is like a condom... protection even if you think you don't need it, you should prolly use it.
