Hey Guys,
Im having trouble with a dash. I flash it with the EVO ROM thats on the sticky a few months ago. I cant get a signal. It will Say PHONE OFF then go to SEARCHING.. back and fourth back and fourth. Anyways I wanted to flash it back to the stock tmobile dash rom so I could atleast start from scratch again. I thought it had something to do with my SIM card, but I put it in a RAZR V3 and it worked no problem.
Anyways when I hook the phone up to the computer it charges and everything. It even pulls up windows mobile device center. Then when I run the .EXE from t-mobile to flash it back, it says it cant find my phone. "check the cable or usb" or whatever. But my computers reads it and everything. What do I do?
Thanks,
Tim

Ok i did a factory reset with the two soft keys and the power button, but its still having trouble working propery. I can get it to boot all the way, but I need to get into boot loader to flash tmobiles basic rom. I press the camera button next to the space bar and hit the power button and it boots up, it doesnt go into bootloader. I read somewhere hold the camera button and plugged it into the USB is still no bootloader. is there any other way I can get into boot loader?
repeat it again.. but without the battery..
Hi,
I have rooted my phone previously and have been running Leedroid roms since 1.8. When I tried to upgrade to Leedroid 2.1a last night I must've done something wrong and bricked it. My phone is now stuck at the white background with the green HTC letters in the middle when I press the power button. When I try to press vol+power, or back+power, same thing happens. I can't even get to recovery now. I've also tried running the RUU file, but my computer can't even detect the phone via usb. Can anybody out there help me unbrick my phone? Any help would be much appreciated... Thank you...
Is your phone a branded phone or a factory unlocked one?
EDIT: You say you cannot even get into recovery? Surely you must be able to. Take the battery out, and then replace it. HOLD the volume down button and PRESS the power button. See if it goes into recovery.
Hi shawon007, thanks for you help.
It's a branded phone that's been rooted and running Leedroid 2.0.
Yes, I couldn't even get to HBOOT (tried both methods: holding vol+power, and also back+power). I gave up after awhile last night and went to sleep. This morning I tried it again, and managed to actually get to HBOOT and flash the rom. Now thinking back to last night, I think one of the reasons nothing would work might've been the heat.. My phone was pretty hot to the touch with all the backups, wipes, and flashes that I did. Curious why this never happened before tho..
Hai, please help me, i've got problems with my wildfire. my phone cannot switch on, cannot communicate with pc, cannot charging and everything won't worked anymore. i'm using wildpuzzlerom 2.2.1 v0.8. i remember the last time what i did to my phone is i'm downloading the radio and installed it. after the installing process was finished, i tried to reboot my phone but the phone stuck and not funtioning, so i try to pull out the battery and put in back. when i'm trying to switch on, my phone was already not functioning. i tried to connect to the pc but still won't worked and try to charge, still gave the same results. i sent my phone to repair shop and they told me that my phone components worked well and there's might be some problems with the operating system.
why is that? any solution? i would be grateful if you could HELP me.
can you boot on hboot menu?
I can't even on my phone and there is no connection through the USB as well.
I mean, i did try already by pressing the volume button+power button but it won't boot into hboot menu.
no answers and solution?? (
Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem with my phone. I installed Aurora V3 without any problems and after I played around for some minutes everything froze and I pulled the battery.
After restart, only the white screen with the green htc logo was displayed and nothing happened. I pulled the battery again and now I cannot even start the phone with volume down + power or back + power. If I plug it into the pc, nothing happens.
Strange is if I charge my phone, there is no led but the bottom part of the back of my phone warms up a little bit.
I don't understand what just happened, I mean there was no flashing involved during the crash.
Some details:
stock hboot S-ON
cmw 5.0.1.0
sdcard 1gb ext4 + fat32
I really hope that you can help me out! What can I do?
Hmm some roms require s off, that could be why

If you're phone responds to nothing it's dead. Similar thing happened to me, send it to HTC. Don't worry about whether you've rooted it or not, the fact that it's dead means they won't be able to know and will repair under warranty.
I doubt if one can brick a phone without flashing anything problematic. Can you go into Recovery and wipe everything again and try flashing something different? Maybe your ROM zip is corrupted...
Yeah I've doubt it as well, but I cannot start the phone at all. I tried power, volume down + power and I tried back + power. Nothing works!
I took the phone for repair. They said, they put new software on, but I have my doubts that it actually works.
Hello fellow G2 users.. my G2 phone won't turn on ... I had it rooted for a few months running Sense 2.1 and 3.0 roms then last night I tried going back to stock because the roms kept freezing and causing all sort of problems.. wifi failure, fc prompts.. ok, I had hboot for the desire z then I tired going back to hboot for the g2 ever sense then the phone refuses to turn on and there's only a orange light flashing and sometimes stays still.. please help.. I don't know what to do.. when I try loading boot loader volume down and power nothing happens..
I'm not an ace but bootloader should work, how long are you holding the power button? Does plugging it charge it? Is the battery dead, it have you pulled it? Does ADB see the phone at all? Have you checked the guide you were following?
30 seconds.. I held the power button for 30 seconds it worked before.. now it's not turning on or going into boot loader. . when plugged in it flashes orange.. I pulled the battery out and put it back in and nothing happens just keeps flashing orange.. my computer doesn't' recognize the phone anymore.. I don't know what's going on..
30 second with and without holding down the volume down button? Weird, no flicker on the screen or anything? Sounds like a possible brick, anyone else have any ideas?
Sound like you need a new phone.. coz if you hold down power button and down volume for 30 second it should boot up. If not your phone might brick.

What exactly did you do to restore the G2 hboot? Am I reading this correctly that this is exactly when it wouldn't turn on?
a friend of mine tried loading hboot from eng-hboot.. still there's no way it would brick the phone!!.. I don't know what else to do. my computer can't recognize the phone anymore.. I'm trying to use adb reboot-bootloader.. but it says device not found..

Flashing hboot is a potential way to brick the phone. Flashing recoveries and roms is relatively safe (recoverable), but if you flash a bad copy of hboot, then I think JTAG is your last option.
Do you know exactly what your friend flashed? md5 hash, file name, which fastboot command?
I'm not sure what the file name is called I'll have to ask him. What is JTAG?
PM me if you need help with this I can bring it back from the dead ...

I am happy that we have someone around with these capabilities, but please get your website working correctly.
Every time I go there and click on a link, it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to come in, rather than fractions of a second - and it seems to do this no matter where I access it, whether home computer, work computer, public wifi or smartphone.....
Not having trouble with any other websites, so might wanna get that fixed
When you connect the charger to the phone if it flashes orange it means it needs battery to boot up wait for about 10 minutes and then try to turn it on with the charger still connected
If it doesn't boot up you have a serious brick
