Hello, I'm sorry to be posting on a matter like this, but can someone please help me?
Before you read, let me clarify a few things: I am not a noob when it comes to the rooting scene. I'm an avid Linux user, and I know most of the key commands, I've rooted both my HTC Magic and HTC Dream without using a one-click app like SuperOneClick or Z4Root, I did it all from scratch. I'm well aware of the dangers that come with rooting, and I always take special precautions when it comes to flashing certain stuff. The only custom ROMs I've used are Virtuous and Cyanogenmod.
I've had my G2 for a little less than a full month. I perma-rooted it, I got S-OFF on it, and all that stuff. Today, I was attempting to unroot my G2 using theunlockr's tutorial, however after i finished entering the last mmcblk0p17 command, and I turned the device off, I accidentally tripped on the charging cord, and it came off. The charging LED still was orange even though the cable wasn't connected.
When I tried turning the phone on into HBoot mode, it wouldn't boot up.
When I tried turning on the device regularly, it's not turning on either.
I tried a few battery pulls, and I left the device untouched for a few hours, and still nothing. Is there a chance I bricked my device? Or is it one of the G2's many dysfunctions that I've read about on the community forums when I was searching for a solution to my problems.
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Sounds like you bricked it if something happened while it was writing to a partition.
Really? so there's nothing I can do?

I wonder why it won't turn on though. I kind of did the same thing but I had my battery fully charged. I guess since it won't turn on am guessing that something happened during the flashing of stock Rom process but still you should still be able to power up your phone. Did it drop when you triped?

Uh, care to help me out?
In this situation, I would try all that stuff again. If still no luck.. call T-Mobile and play dumb. If the phone is bricked, that's your only recourse and it does work most of the time. GL.
Try pluging the charger for a while and then try to turn it on

Thanks for the advice.
I'm getting my HTC Vision replaced in a few days, after an hour with some ghetto-ass customer service lady
While we're on the topic, does anyone care to explain to me what a "rassclot" and a "battymon" is? because after i was done with customer service, the lady called me a rassclot battymon.
I'm sure I can get T-Mo in hot water for this.

Hello Guys,
don't ask why! I need a way to brick a HTC ONE X. It does not have to be permanently but at least enough that it can not be restored (besides by HTC themselves). Also it would be nice if it does not leave too obvious traces (so no physical damage).
I thought about a bootloader update (with unplugging the cable in the "wrong" second) but I am open to other suggestions.
I onloy know how to flash Samsung Galaxy Series, so please link to sources for needed software.
Thanks in advance

i saw one on youtube. they are working. surely it will make your one x into a brick (literally)
here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk4adP2Pi-Q
You can disassemble the phone and using a piece of Aluminium foil or steel wool, connect all the solder connections randomly while the phone is ON until phone suffocates.
If your intentions is wasting the phone for fun then :
1- Look for the HTC logo on the back
2- Make a small "x" exactly 3 mm below the "T"
3- Through the "x" you marked, Drill using a fine 10mm drillbit until you can feel back of the screen
4- Continue drilling until you can see the drillbit on the other side of the phone.
I didnt see any moderators say anything but........ This is not an appropriate question to open post. Not trying to rain on your parade, Im all for getting new stuff. You dont want to get caught up in defrauding AT&T or HTC, google this you'll find alot about people getting caught. If you really need to get a new phone opps it fell in the pooper. Be carefull when asking stuff like this, you really should be asking someone you know via pm or email.

Hi Guys,
I initially posted this the other day, but didn't actually have my phone to hand. I now have it! So please help!
"Hi guys, I'm at my wits-end.
I thought I'd be clever and try to root my One X CID_001.
Managed to unlock the bootloader and install CWM recovery, and then done some other things which I can't remember. At some point, it's all gone horribly wrong. It's now stuck at the bootlogo. My computer can see it when it's plugged in, but on CMD it says device not found. Tried using HTC One X All in one rooting kit. No luck. Tried doing it manually. No luck. Gave it to a friend who's in to all that (rooted numerous devices including his One X) and finally sent it off to Phones4U. The device actually stopped powering up, so I was hoping they'd just replace it for me, and not see I'd screwed around with it. Didn't work, they saw it, and wanted to charge me £135 to repair it. I'm not going to pay that for something I should be able to do myself within minutes!
So, can anybody help me, step-by-step, once I've got it back and I'm sat down at the 'puter?
Thanks guys!
Dan"

Well almost all HTC desire devices have an overheating problem causing them to reboot every time we use them.
Well I tried something that actually worked!
You need to have the required skills in order to do this
You need :
1:a clean soft brush(tooth brush recommended)
2:Tools to disassemble the HTC desire
3isassembly manual
4:Electric contact cleaner
Procedure :
1: Disassembly your HTC desire and just unplug only the mainboard and the upper board (that includes the camera)
2: CAREFULLY open the metallic box located to the main board (the one that is under the display and has the CPU inside)
3: use the electric contact cleaner and spray everything inside that box
4: CAREFULLY use the tooth brush to clean it from inside by making soft movements !!
5: wait for 5 minutes for the electric contact cleaner dissapears
6: Do the same in the camera mainboard but don't open anyone metallic box , just from the top
7: Start assembling the HTC desire
8: Test it and write down if it worked
Note : a friend of mine told me that you don't have to open the metallic box that protects the CPU,just use the electric cleaner and be sure that you have sprayed everything ! And this guide is tested on 4 HTC desires with the same problem all of them 100% success !
WARNING: USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE!
I personally tested it as I said on 4 HTC desires and it worked !
Just test it and write it.I was looking for 1 year how to solve this problem and I believe I found the solution.

Hello,
This is the thread I was looking for since I got one HTC Desire with the message “repair it and take it, or throw it into trash”. Luckily for me, that was only few weeks ago, therefore I didn't suffered like other proud Desire owners.
I can power-on the phone but it will stuck on HTC logo or it will do reset loop (several times) finishing with 7 vibrations and HTC logo.
It was failing on RUU updates because of radio; then I decided to freeze phone (only device without battery, sd card and sim). After that, I was able to update the phone...freeze it again, s-off it...freeze it again...flash it with custom rom...freeze it....etc.
I was planning to apply some thermal compound inside and maybe cut some pieces for better airflow but Your solution seems great.
Is there any news about those 4 repaired phones? Are they still alive and performing well?
short update:
mine doesn't work after the procedure from first post.
however, it will still come alive (for the short time) after freezing. :/
Interesting post. is overheating a common problem on the desire?
My phone seems to crash every so often and sometimes gets really bad and doesnt wanna start up as mentioned above so am thinking whether its a overheating issue rather than software/hardware

When your phone doesn't want to boot, put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. If it then boots normally, it's an overheating issue.
approve - this works, btw if anyone have any another questions then ask
Worked for me.. Problem Solved. Thankyou

box ????
"CAREFULLY open the metallic box located to the main board
(the one that is under the display and has the CPU inside)"
I have disassembled the phone. There is a metal box on the back of the main board (directly behind the
sim card and sd cards slots) though it appears to be completely sealed. I do not see how it could be opened
and/or how the contact cleaner can get in to do anything.
I am missing something ? Anyone ?
thanks and best regards

I did this last night, and same result... the phone keep restarting... its 100% a overheat problem cause here are +2°C and when i operate the phone outside , is working without any problem, but when im in the house at +25 the phone start acting weird...(restarting)...
---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------
sorry for double post but just want to add that something... the second time i opened the phone, ive put some thermal paste (processor paste ) on top of black cip's, but same result... the phone keep restarting... other ideas???
I tried this
and had no luck. I think it may be absolute tosh. we were promised photos of the procedure...
we are still waiting for them
Not working for me too... bad news problem not solved - we need new motherboard... i will sale the phone for spare parts....
When I read the titel of the postig i feel so lucky but as i read the rest of the postings...
The desire is such a great phone but the heat problem su**s.
Hope someone will find a sollution that works for all of us.
Guys im really sorry for not posting screenshots but my HTC Desire died a few weeks ago(water xD) and im not an owner.. But 5 phones that i have repaired them with this way are working perfectly!

I totally disagree with your opinion to apply thermal compound and cut some pieces. Thermal compound works for pc and in case you apply this,think that the hot will still remain inside and maybe get worse.Also cutting pieces will result for your phone to fail,cause all this are made to protect all those that they include
other solution
For users that are EXPERIMENTAL ONLY! you can try this
Follow all the steps in post #1 but when you reach to the cpu chipset,use a heat gun for about 30 second with distance up to 10cm(maybe more).Do whatever is needed to be sure that heat will not touch the other chipsets. This solution have 40-60% Success- Failure. In case of failure, (I DONT HAVE RESPONSIBILITY!) the phone will be dead for ever. If you have free time and this phone for test then do it otherwise better not
Also i will try to find an HTC Desire to take screenshots ...

I can confirm this. With environmental temperatures below +18°C my phone works perfectly.
Mine's never had a overheat problem.... Anyway, thanks if it ever becomes a problem for me.
Swyped from my P3110 running SlimKat from the XDA Premium HD app!
As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????
Also to add to this, yesterday when I was taking the phone's battery out and in the phone would start booting by itself. Could this be a power button issue? I've only had the phone for about 10 months and never dropped it without the otterbox defender series on it.

From that statement above, having the otter box doesn't mean you'll be protected against drops. Yes it'll protect the phone but still suffered inside the device! I had a friend crack his screen on the corner, with an otter box on with one drop!
Now back to the phone:
Since you can get into recovery have you tried a factory data reset to see if that fixes your problem..

I plan to read all responses as soon as I can because I'm in dire need of help. The phone WILL NOT turn back on. The first day I had the problem it gave me the "BadgeProvider" has stopped working and also the "Samsung" has stopped working error messages. The only thing that was responsive was responsive was my notification bar. I could slide it down turn wifi on and off etc from there but when I hit the setting button on the notification bar it would not open up the settings immediately and there was maybe a 2 minute delay (I walked away from the phone and came back to it) and it would finally open it up but giving me the 2 error messages "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped working. Read online that clearing the BadgeProvider data under "Application Manager->All->BadgeProvider" would fix this issue so thats what I did. Wallah it worked fine.....fell asleep without my phone on the charger and it died but I have 5 batteries so who cares. Woke up noticed the phone was dead then I swapped batteries (OEM Samsung battery). Tried to turn it on and it will not turn on. Tried putting it on the charger (even though it should be a freshly charged battery) and the red charging light will not even come on. Tried to boot into recovery mode and still unresponsive.
As of now I CANNOT boot into revovery mode, turn on the phone in any way, get the charging light to come on when plugged in (I have 5 other batteries plus an external battery charger so its definitely not truely dead battery wise), I cannot get the phone to do anything what so ever. Tried removing external storage from it, tried removing sim, tried 5 different fully charged batteries and nothing.
Anyone that can give me some insight on what the problem may be and a possible solution I would greatly appreciate it.

True, true.....Or, they post the same question in five forums....lol.
What do you guys think about using Odin? Can he get into the phone if it won't go to recovery? Can you install TWRP or CWM, they may automatically set the phone to restart in recovery mode? Just some thoughts....I am not a dev., just an avid user.
Something here might help as well. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779
Keep us posted on what you try, and your status. Good luck.
Also if it helps any, I have had my phone restart by itself randomly way before rooting it. After rooting I still had the restarts just as I have always had (maybe once every 3 weeks). Rooting it gave me no errors at all and it has been working fine for months being rooted. Not sure if letting you guys know of the restarting issue is going to help anything but I'm telling you all I know to try to debug this issue.

I've read a few people having that problem with the phone randomly turning off.
[Q] did you get the phone New or used? If its used you have a lot of people out there selling devices with problems that they couldn't fix! FYI
#2
Does it get recognized by the PC?
When you plug it in? If so then you should be able to try the Kies recovery!
If not then kies won't help..

I brought it directly from AT&T new. And nope. Tried pluggin it into the PC and not recognized. Tried Kies and Odin and neither had any affect. The phone is just completely unresponsive now.
Thinking about trying to take it to Samsung before AT&T so I can try to miss the deductible.
Remove the battery ...then plug the device in to USB connection with your PC...
Then attempt to boot the phone into download mode..
If successful ....then immediately push the rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinsons thread in the development section...
If no download mode exists while attempting boot with the battery removed ...then the likelihood of device damage is high...
This of course does not rule out the possibility of a stuck power button ...but that hardware failure generally presents a repeated and uncontrolled loop which in this case we are not seeing...
Odin mode failure generally means a defective or damaged Chipset...g

Ok since you want to take it in to Sammy. And you did state you got it New from the AT&T store. Then you can take it into one of the DSC. (Device support center)
Check HERE:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429&cv=820#fbid=CS_QLPeF54-
Hopefully there's one in your area. I have one like 10 mins away from me
Hopefully they can help you get back up and running. No charge either. It's a warranty center. Member no Rom talk in there.. LOL:sly:
But if they can't get it to turn on you'll be getting another the same day. Takes about a total of 15 minutes and you'll be on your way with your new toy!! Yay and good luck to you. Lety us know what you're outcome is!

Got a new phone. It was a painless process. Just walk in play dumb and talk as least as possible. They never asked a question about rooting. I'm guessing because I seemed like an idiot . Going to let it do all the updates it can then going to root it tomorrow using CFroot.
Thanks all for the info.
Anyone reading this in the future let me know if I can help in anyway.
Glad you got a new device ..and for the record ...I personally believe you had a bad device from day 1...
Normally I would frown on anyone taking back a device that has been modded ...but I can see no evidence in your case that indicates your doing anything that would break your chipset ...
And I know that others feel the same way ...
You tried your guts out ...and the device just didn't act properly from day 1...
Please place a "Solved" in the thread title if you don't mind ...
That way ...everyone knows the issue has been corrected ..
Many thanks ...and....
Happy flashing ....g
