Hy, i found a guy who has a bricked hero ( stucked at bootloop ) he is seling it preaty cheap and i'm wondering if maybe it can be revived. He said that u push the power buton, it starts up stays like that for like 5 seconds, than it shuts down. he also said that the problem started when he tried to upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1 and also he mentioned that the phone was rooted before, but now wont enter in cyanogen ( havent got the time yet to read what cyanogen is).
here is a youtube video ( not his phone ) but where the phone is stuck, u can look at the second 26, there his phone reboots. what u say? can it be somehow revived? what do u sugest me? curently i own a diamond and i would love and android phone. cheers

I don't think that's bricked mate. A bricked Hero, typically, won't turn on at all.
Can he enter Fastboot?
I think it's Home+Back+Power...
as i said i dont have the phone but i could buy it for about 140euros if i have any chance to revive it. cheers

Or you could be generous and point him here, so he can fix it himself?

he is seling it especialy becouse he does not have the time to get it to service or read some forums on the internet... the idea is, can it be fixed? should i buy it or not ?

The chances are, it can be fixed.
Story seems a bit strange to me
But yeah sounds like it can be fixed.
Offer 100 for it. Say you might be able to fix it and you are taking on all the risk!
This happened to me too. But it isn't bricked, at least it wasn't for me. I don't know if it's rooted, but mine was. I took out the sdcard, booted in to recovery (the one where you flash new ROM's, dunno if it's the right name). And then I wiped, and installed a new ROM.
Hope this helps
hy, thx for information, can u be a little mor specific? if somehow it aint rooted is it anyproblems entering into recovery mode? this hapend to you also while upgrading from 1:6 to 2:1 ? sry for mistypes, posted from diamond cheers

There is no 1.6 or 2.1 on Hero.
Also, Cynaogen mod hasn't been released for Hero but for the G1.
I would make sure that you are getting what you're paying for. Buy it off ebay and make him write that he'll accept returns.
If you see the network operator logo or the HTC logo, I reckon it's not bricked. Bricked usually equals nothing, or just an error triangle or something like that (even the error triangle may indicate hope).
I reckon it may be worth a shot (can't see any youtube link to see for myself).
Back+Power is to enter fastboot FWIW. Maybe you could ask him to plug it in and see if the charging LED comes on??? That sometimes indicates it's still working.
I'll vote 'boot-loop', which isn't critical. Should be fixable by goldcard and RUU downgrade, then installation of custom ROM.

there is one leaked 2.1 rom, from which several 2.1 roms have been built. all can be found here and on modaco's. also there is one 1.6 rom, which hasn't been updated since 30. october 2009.

The owner of the phone presumably said that he "can't get into Cyanogen anymore". I think he meant Cyanogen's recovery image v1.4, which preceded Amon's
One should try loading a fresh recovery image - running the "Fastboot" part of the code at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
If the recovery image is corrupted, there could be issues of "access-denied" running certain "fastboot" commands, depending on method of past rooting. Even with a Goldcard. I was there.
ROOTSide ROM
Base Flipside ROM with root/busybox/unknown sources enabled. Only thing different in this rom than rooting it yourself is you get to check/uncheck unknown sources. Yes, that means you can turn unknown sources ON and OFF! I have a clockworkmod recovery folder zipped up for distribution, but I want to post a full-fledged ROM zip file for the masses. PM me, and I will send you the ZIP file that I have right now.
What you get:
base install for the flipside (AT&T) with motoblur ready to set up. It is the exact same thing as doing a factory reset, but you get all the benefits of superuser with busybox and the addead feature of having unknown sources checkbox in the settings.
I will work towards a deoxed version this weekend as well.
No custom bootscreen (yet). No custom anything, really.
Almost There
I am currently in the middle of Deodexing the image. I have added in wifi tethering, and ensured it will have superuser and busybox pre-packaged. Next step is pushing this to my wife's phone and not having her get a pretty brick in return. If all goes well, I will be posting the image by morning light (CST).
Fingers Crossed!
Well
Things didn't go too well with my first build attempt. Appears to be a permission issue with the /system folder. I will sleep on it, and give it a second go in the morning. Sorry for the apparent "tease". If you want a faster build, I could use some other devs working with me.
Hey man, sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up...I already found a way to get the root with unknown sources checked, so i'm just gonna wait for the deoxed version! Hope it goes well as you try again.
Current Issues
unable to deodex the following:
/system/app/AABSync.odex
/system/app/blur-services.odex
Will try to load to phone without dodexing those two files. Hopefully all will go well.
Me too...good luck!!

Glad to see some work on this device, I love the form factor but it's obviously not very popular with devs...
Very interested to see this come around. I would like to streamline the wife's phone. Her battery life is a 1/3 of my rooted and flashed X10. Sadly though I am NOT a Dev nor even a cook.
I would have had something sooner, but I ran into issues not related to the ROM. Still working on it. Anybody have an idea for upgrading the CWM from the one we can currently use?
so I was curious, I was able to get to unlock mode with an sqlite thing and it worked just fine for me, but have you been able to knock out the bloat and stuff? cause it sounds like the makings of a custom rom lol
you know what the turtle said.. slowly but surely I will win this race

Is it possible to get CM7, or it's a problem with a locked kernel?
Ok, I just got a new phone for the Mrs., so I can break the flipside and unbreak it as much as I like.
Time for some real fearless development lol.

So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone
GOOD JOB!!!,

Hi all,
from a big smile to sad face... that is how it's been for the past 24 hours
I rooted the phone then went to back up the stock rom after that wiped data, cache, dalvik then went on trying to instal Omega 4.0 and suddenly i got this message my external sd is unreadable. rebooted the phone and noticed that it takes me directly to the downloader screen. i tried to fix the phone by bringing it back to it's stock condition but no luck. I used Odin and so far it's the only thing the phone responds to but no luck with fixing it... I am trying to download the official stock fw hint this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
but it stops and never finishes the whole amount of data... this seems the only way for me revive my phone back to life!
any suggestions what should I do now? it stopped showing the downloader screen now since I flashed the kernel drive for the S4 through Odin and now shows the black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S4" writing.
by the way it keeps telling me that my phone isn't rooted but I did root it! am using twrp recovery.
I just got the phone from t-mobile 2 days ago and am debating on returning the phone back to them as the phone is still bootable to the recovery and that might revoke my warranty "i guess?"
Is it possible just to walk in to t-mobile store and swap the phone with another one since it didn't pass the 2 weeks returning window? I also got the phone insurance for it.
Please help, I sure need my phone back in working condition...
Omega 4 is for the octa core so thats why your phone bricked. If you can grt into download mode odin the stock files. If you can get into recovery try flashing a rom made for the phone. Dont freak out just read read read and youll be fine.

ayeeee ppl trying to reach me over the phone and they can't because of this stupid brick! well stupid me because I didn't know that Omega is for Octa core phone version... Yeah I can get it to download mode and recovery mode but is it possible just flash the stock file from the recovery instead of odin? I am waiting for that stock fw download to finish hint it's on hotfile and going in turtle speed!
your bricked, im pretty sure flashing stock wont help you (hasnt from my past experience) but doesnt hurt to give it a try.
i dont think will just give you another one, even though its in the two week window, because its your fault and not the result of hardware failure. the age old "oh i updated and not it wont turn on" probably wont wort because there are little to none reports of that happening. plus (and this is me assuming, correct me if im wrong) but when in download mode it probably shows custom status, which auto voids any warranty. but once again, doesnt hurt to try.
Unfortunately, from my past experience, your SOL
If the phone turns on and has download and recovery you are not bricked....only soft brick and the odin file should work. Just be patient and wait for it to finish

I just did the motochopper method and as I am reading now about the possibility of loosing your root access by future OTAs so am planning to flash that file that keeps your root safe even from future updates "SetUID Restriction" I will prolly keep my basic rom and wait for something better in future.

Well if you want to flash CyanogenMod, make sure its for the m919. I'm kinda lost though, did you still want all the features that Touchwiz has like air gesture, motions etc? Or you don't care for those?

am not really decided about that, does it really matter? all i care about is the blazing speed, low battery consumption and for sure the freedom of moving all the apps to the extSD ... I think all these new features are gimmick and it may take another generation for it to get the best of it. I picked S4 over the HTC one just because the 1080p feature and the funny thing is that I missed on there is no HDMI port on this phone! lol no biggie
tell me more about the touchwiz kernel, is it worth it? I don't see many CRs out there at the moment

Well right now I don't think CM is as stable compared to a TW ROM. FYI there are a lot or ROMS as of now. You have Wicked, Infamous, Darth Stalker, Deathstar. There is also faux and ktoonez kernal available for TW. As for the extsd, you will need to format the card to fat32 for the phone to read it properly.
So i finally got my Xperia Play R800i and unlocked it. So now i have full fastboot access (which i havnt used much in the past so im a little rusty). While browsing the forums for Clockwork mod and roms and kernels i find myself having a few problems. I cant find clockwork mod (does it exist for this phone? or TWRP?) and also I have NO idea which rom to choose and there are SOOO many. I could really use a little run down and some recommendations here. Anything would be great

As an XDA rule you can't post asking for recommendations of ROMs/kernels (otherwise thread will be closed) u are beet trying them out for yourself. But if u want gaming you should stick with GingerBread. With XP u can't flash recoveries they are built into the kernels ramdisk. Yes there is TWRP but common problem with TWRP is not backing up of android secure.

Lol I just knew someone was going to rules me on the "dont ask about roms its bad 4 u". Theres so many threads for roms.....im not going to be able to try them all, and some of them are broken or not worth flashing. I just wanted some info because ive never owned a sony device and this one has so many caveats that one would only know from either being here from the beginning or getting advice. pardon if i seem to be rude, im just confused and trying to get a feel for how this device works. If i cant flash recoveries how do i flash things? Fastboot(can you flash roms with fasboot??) how do i know if a kernel is antiquated and will break things? Flashtool also seems confusing to me. And again as far as asking about which roms people suggest I wasnt asking for "whats the best? Flame on!" which is what that rule is there to prevent. I simple asked for a recommendation as i have no foundry or basis of where to start. I know im one of a hundred people that has asked and will ask these questions....but isnt that what were here for?

I'm not flaming, if you took it that way it is not the intended purpose. I'm just saying "recommendations for ROM's" can be preceived as asking for the best ROM by some users, which will then mean your thread will be closed. A good place to see which ROMs/Kernels others are using is this thread in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235336. Anyway to what you are asking. Flashtool may look a bit daunting, but is one of the easiest tools to use.
RC fma has some good guides. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486 - will help you with flashing an FTF (flashmode)
or this one For flashing kernel and custom ROMs. -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054512.
To get recovery on your device you must flash a kernel first via fastboot mode (refer to the guide above). Then you can flash a ROM via CWM or TWRP as you usually would.
Hey I really appreciate the info and feedback. This device feels so foreign to me for some reason but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Installed doomkernel14 with fastboot then figured out the weird tap back key to get into recovery. And now I'm on a GB ROM that is so much faster than stock. Coming into a old phone that's new to you is kinda like coming into the last 5 minutes of a class before a test hah.

No worries. Ye its actually easier then any other device I own (non-Sony). Ye it depends on kernel. Mine u need to press vol down for CWM and volume up for TWRP. Also a heads up, in case u ever flash one of my kernels. U will need to flash phoenix_vendor.ftf to have unlocked vendor partitions. This is to accommodate for custom partitions. Basically /system and /cache are shrunk to give 600mb+ storage in data.
U will need to flash the phoenix-vendor.ftf first then in fast boot
Code:
fastboot erase userdata && fastboot erase system
Then boot to recovery and flash ROM as usual. Sounds a bit daunting but isn't at all. I'd recommend that if u bought the device for gaming stick with GingerBread, welcome to and enjoy the XP forums.

Right now im using AtoMic GB - PLAY r2 and i reallly like it (along with DooMKerneL14). One thing that i wonder if you could help me with tho. No matter what I do when im in an emulator the circle button always takes me out of the emulator. Any way to actually have it just work like normal? It didnt do that on stock from what i remember. Also what is all that Vendor ftf stuff? Is there a thread that explains any of that stuff? Thanks again!
only flash the vendor-unlocked ftf when needed. vendor is a usually locked partition. with ics it got unlocked and more space for the rom and kernel was there.
it's hard to find the right one for oneself. look in every thread and it's features, check the comments if no serious problems are accuring (well you can't really count on them) and try it.
ask yourself first: what features do you really -need-
about the circle-button issue: can be emulator related. some aren't optimized for the play (circle is in fact nearly the same as the back-button - just with an ALT modifier) try another one (hint: retroarch r16)
it also can be the rom (wrong build.prop entries or the keylayout files are not right).
In this case its the rom because other people reported the same problem. Anyways I'd recommend you use xperia nxt 2 r1. It has a similar look and no bugs that I noticed. (Emulators play fine) everything works

if us get used to the menus it's awesome. plays everything (tested sega genesis, snes, fba, pcsx (!) on full speed (even on ics))

Well this is weird. Downloaded the newest version and it STILL exits the game when I hit the O button on all the emulators. What a bummer
HaiKaiDo r newbz. dont mind him.
it appears audio is moving faster than the video of someones lips moving ever since root. could someone explain if they are getting the same thing and if so... how is it remedied?
wrong sub-forum bro, also AFAIK root should have nothing to do with it.
let us know your ROM and other software details.
sorry for the wrong subthread. if it needs to be moved im ok with it.
stock rom, just root.

I seriously doubt root would cause that.
thats what i thought. yeah it overheats at times and audio goes before video. could it be the recovery. i have TWRP
Are you s-off? Have you flashed the Harmon/kardon mod ?
Sent from my HTC ONE M8 Dev Edition
im not s-off, i have the H/K edition.
i changed the recovery to Philz, ill see how it goes tomorrow. it appears to run cooler
Root can not be the problem..also it can't be the recovery..both have nothing to do with this..If you think there is a difference than its a placebo...
Look for programs that run in background..close apps like Facebook and compare that..if also not make a complete wipe including also data and start fresh again...make a backup before..

I second this notion (or actually 4th it!). Folks have strange conceptions about what root does. Its just a permissions change.
ive been rooting since the OG Evo. so i am familiar with the process just that i only had the M8 for 2 weeks already.
The problem that i had was when i rooted, i did the instructions and turns out TWRP wasnt working right with my phone. not sure if it was a bad download or not but i installed Philz recovery and it works alot cooler and smoother
Yup, your choice of recovery will in no way shape or form affect the performance of the OS.
You have an issue maybe, but you're barking up the wrong tree here. ?
