See if you can get into the bootloader. To do this, pull out your battery and then hold Power+VolDown until a white screen shows up, thats the bootloader. If you have access to that, you can flash images through your computer to your phone

Guys, I'm new to Android phone and playing around with it. I accidently enable recovery mode, I have an unlocked Desire and now its at recovery screen with phone icon and red triangle with ! on it. Did I brick it? how do I get it back? Please help, I only have this phone for 3 days.
Holy cow, scare the crap out of me. Just took out the battery and it restarted it. It's back to normal now. I came from WM6 with HTC touch, then switch to iPhone (jailbroke it and unlock it) gave it to my wife and now move to Desire, beautiful machine. I'm debating on weather to root it or not, I do like HTC sense, I might wait for the official ROM update.
Any way thanks for looking.
i just get the White htc evo couple day. i tried using unrevorked to root but is not working. anyone knowing anything wrong?
First off let me just say, I already know this is most likely a full brick with no chance of recovery.
Anyway, when my sister got a G2 a while back I perm-rooted and s-off'd it for her. I later flashed the CM 6 RC and that's what she's been on this whole time.
Apparently her new boyfriend is "tech savvy" and has the same phone, so he asked if she wanted to be updated to CM 7 and gave it a shot without letting me know first.
He bricked it, I'm almost certain of it. He said he tried to update it to the newest radio via adb and got an error saying something like "memory is full" or "cant write, no more space" or something like that. He then turned it off so he could "try again", but from then on it wouldn't turn on anymore -__-
I know that a bad radio flash leads to a brick so I'm guessing there's nothing i can do for her, but I've never bricked any of my devices so i thought i'd ask to be sure. As of right now, when i press the power button the screen stays off. No images, no lights, no nothing. I've tried holding the power button + volume down/up and nothing. It simply does nothing. The charging light still turns on if i plug it into the wall charger but nothing happens when i connect it to a computer.
Is there anything I can do to help her besides telling her to get a new one?
Sounds like a brick to me, did he try flashing the ENG. Hboot ? If he screwed something up while doing this the result would be exactly what you are describing.

have you tried pulling the battery then re-seating it and booting into recovery?
Also take out battery and hold power as you put battery back in. Worth a shot

I say smack it off his head a few times.
If its a brick you might as well use it for some good (Y)

he has the same phone right... TO ME what i see is... her boyfriend has a new bricked g2... and you sister has a new g2 with CM7 installed on it... so much for tech savvy... if i remenber right the best and only way to flash radio is through fastboot..

This guy has it right your sister has a new G2 with cm7 and he has nice expensive paper weight tell him thats what he gets for ****ing with stuff he knows nothing about
My LEDs don't even lit up when I plug it into the wall charger. Into the PC neither. I do get a hardware detected notification though, but Windows 7 isn't able to find the correct driver (for a what's apparently called QHSUSB_DLOAD). I have all HTC and Android drivers installed since I have the Android SDK and HTC Sync+drivers installed.

I never heard of doing this before, what does this do. Note my phone is working, but I don't try thing blindly, so I won't be doing this.

htc evo 4g
Bought from ebay " used " stuck in bootloop.
booted to hboot
ran stock ruu
failed with a radiov2 something or other, partition failure,
went thru recovery process as instructed by ruu, got back to the screen with hboot an all that, then the unthinkable... dog scared cat, cat ran across desk, knocked phone off, battery ejected.
Phone WILL NOT power on, WILL NOT register the charger being plugged into it. No light..nothing.
Lost cause?

Tried it a few times., nothing. Gonna try it a few more, also found another variation with putting battery in, holding down VOL + and - an inserting usb cable " connected to computer ". that also did not work. Frustrated as hell! ugh!
One other note..The phone is " NOT rooted ". Greatly narrows options once booted, but it is what it is.
No one else has any ideas? shame to let this device go for 50 or so bucks for parts. any ideas at all ?

If it won't turn on and it doesn't charge I consider it bricked

ok, thank you, parts for sale it goes
If the battery came out during a radio update or something, then yeah... it's toast.

the battery came out after an ruu had failed. while the phone was sitting idle on I believe the fastboot or hboot screen.
