[Q] Is my phone bricked?

Whenever I try to boot up my Desire Z, it would show me the HTC logo, but shut off promptly. I'd be able to enter the bootloader, but whenever I try entering recovery, I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Is my phone bricked?
I'm not sure what was done previously, as I bought this phone second hand, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to rectify the problem.

Sounds like a soft brick, at the worst. You can fix it. Look up loading a rom from bootloader dezire z. Maybe you can put the new update on the sd card. You will lose root though, which you probably have if the got you stuck on that screen.

Try looking up about the triangle, also. There might be some buttons you can press etc.

At the triangle screen you show, hold down volume for a second or 2 then press and hold power. See if that doesn't take you to the text-based recovery screen (stock is blue text?).
PS - sounds like no rom and/or radio is flashed, that or someone tried to reroot and stockify it but bricked it as you describe. I'm inclined to believe it's been wiped clean. What's the bootloader show for your hboot, radio versions etc?

Ah, I was able to get it into the 3e recovery with the blue text, but unfortunately I can't do anything there.
I think I have another problem now, though. The battery won't charge. If I plug it in, it'll flash an orange and green LED, and from what I've been able to gather online, that means there's something wrong with the battery connection or overheating? It's not the latter, so I'm going to assume there's something wrong with the pins. The warranty sticker has been broken as well, so I think I think I'm SOL.
Thanks for the help anyway, guys!

For future use, NEVER, EVER remove the USB while flashing. Unless you wait at least an hour and nothing happens. Had it been flashing the recovery/bootloader right then you may have bricked your device.
Also, while flashing it may appear to hang. It isn't always the case.

htc one x boot loop

I bought it off Ebay about 4 weeks ago. It was working ok but i did an update to 4.2.2[ official] and the GPS stopped working properly.
I took it to a phone service shop and they promised to fix the gps problem by reinstalling back to the original condition, They didn't fix it properly-sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Then a friend told me to do a factory reset which i did and it was then it started to act up.
It boots into the HTC symbol with a warning message [ seen in red] then goes into recovery and no matter what I do it repeats the same process.Also when I try to charge it lights up and does not charge fully.

"It boots into the HTC symbol with a warning message [ seen in red] "
And whats the warning message ??

Did you try the fast-boot option on that menu? It solves the looping problem in my case.

fastboot in RED is not a worning massage. If you have warranty send it for repair if no warranty unlock the bootloader flash custom recovery and cuctom rom and beffore start first read some guide here in the one x forum

Again, if you can do a fast-boot, try it to see if it works. It works in my case.
Also, in my case, regular (slow) boot will randomly work at one point after it loops up to perhaps 100 times.

Fried motherboard?

Hello,
Yesterday my half year Nexus 5x has started to do strange things. It froze when testing WiFi speed and then started to hang when trying to boot. When I powered it off, it started behave like it would be bricked. Connecting to PC did nothing. After 5 minutes of pressing POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN it shown bootloader so I could reset it to stock and check if it works.
Sadly stock can't even boot because phone freezes and stops to respond to anything or reboots and freezes on Google logo.
When powered off it still generates a lot of heat. After leaving it for night with full battery, battery was fully depleted at morning.
About month ago it very overheated and sim reader stopped working for about hour.
Currently it's booted to bootloader and connected to charger. I'm not going to power off it, because booting to bootloader starts to be very hard.
Any ideas what is wrong with it? Is motherboard fried?
I'm going to relock bootloader and RMA it.

Exact same behaviour : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-dead-help-wont-boot-t3427169/
can you check this post ?
I got a replacement via warranty.. and now struggling to recover my data. .. replacement having problems with fingerprint scanner.

I checked it now. I have almost the same issue but mine 5x was showing normally boot screen but it freezes after getting some temperature. I used fan to cool it down and I could boot it normally but after selecting language it froze and restarted. It also powercycles in bootloader, so it was really hard (almost impossible) to restore stock.

M9 boot loop

Hello there! Apologies for the vague thread name, I'm actually unsure what is wrong with the phone -long story short, I've bought it in CashConverters, thinking I could earn some (M9 for thirdy quid? bloody hell).
The phone does turn on, so I don't think it's hard-bricked. When the phone is turned on, it goes to this menu
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REBOOT and REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER result in the same, as does turning it on after POWER DOWN.
After pressing BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE, this menu pops up, and pretty much goes back to the first one upon VOL UP or VOL DOWN.
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE does work, and results in this menu
I have once attempted to "apply an update from SD card", it resulted in this, and decided not to test my luck.
Couple things to note, I do IT for a living, started working on it yesterday, 2pm - 2am, mostly reading through XDA and android pages, didn't manage to find a solution yet, and I'll stab myself with a spoon if I failed at searching.
My question is: can I fix it? Is it worth it?

You could flash a RUU.exe if its a tmobile, verizon, sprint etc. Other than that i dont know... You cant even see what firmware number you got

I assume it's O2 because it says himauhl_o2_uk, plus an O2 sticker. Other than that, I don't know, as I can only access recovery, and literally got it in that state.
Edit: I assume it's caused by someone disconnecting the phone while updating through HTC Sync, but I am unsure.

I am having this same exact issue with my Sprint M9. I have tried installing the 0PJAIMG from the SD Card and no love. Get error E:footer is wrong signature verification failed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
