I have just read something like this.
U need to jtag ur phone but try this see if it works.
Download the pg76img.zip from the above link
Put in your SD card
Press power and volume down
It should do the three vine ok. Wait for more vibes or just press volume up several times after 5 minutes or so.
It's like flashing ruu from hboot. But without seeing the screen.
See if works. Post ur result.

You have 3 vibrates? If you do, you are in Qualcomm diagnostics mode.

What does that Qualcomm thing mean?
edit: found it. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345273 check this link. Might be of some help. Comment no 3 with PG76IMG.zip in place of PB31IMG.zip

Yea download the zip, rename it to PG76IMG.zip and place it to the root of your sdcard. Then follow the directions in the link he posted above ^^^

EDIT: No luck and battery is still cold, as if it isnt staying on but it wont do 3 vibe unless i remove and place the batt....

Press vol up vol down and power together, and tell me what u get.
If u get 7 vibes means u r bricked. I actually forgotten the thing.

Volume down + power = 3 vibes
Volume Up + Power = 3 vibes
Volume Down + Up + Power = 3 vibes no matter what i do it's 3 vibes.....that half good news....right?

Yeah. Not bricked. Someone told me that last night.

You flashed a Virgin Mobile Canada RUU (GSM/Marvel) to your Virgin Mobile USA (CDMA/Marvelc).
Trust me. Been there. Done that. The 3 Vibe Fix does not work. Qualcomm diagnostics mode does not look at your SD Card.
You need the QPST tool. Google it. After you have it, go to http://teamblueridge.com/irc-channels.html and sign in to the bottom one using your XDA name. Ask for insink71. If he's not there, come back later. I will be on tomorrow to help you, but I can't tonight.

OK Mr. Tech Guy

[Q] HOX Locked! and security warning (I was using viperX)

Well, I have a problem. I am using viperx, with my phone unlocked, obviously. I was listening to music when it suddenly reboot. It runs in bootloader. And... with a message LOCKED and security warning. I dont know what happened. It was in my car holder, I didn´t touch anything... If I reboot, it says for a second "this build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of htc without htc's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action". Then back to the bootloader.
The phone was perfectly cold when it reboots...
A couple of screenshots:

Cant boot, cant charge it (no leds)...

If phone does not start and you cannot go into HBOOT and it does not get recognized as APX in your computer.
You are ****ed or battery is done.

I was using the last viperx rom...

I would try to charge it using the charging script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738274

As your phone doesn't start up / boot at all there might be something completely different that's messed up, I'm guessing it's faulty hardware that has first caused your phones software to go haywire and now the phone simply won't start. You could try the charging-script above but I'd probably go for the warranty, HTC might be a bit tricky about that though.

well his phone says locked and not relocked, the only thing there is the security warning, but i guess he can claim never to have rooted the phone.
i´m not sure about it though

Unlock again.

Well, yesterday night, I left the phone plugged to the wall carger. During the night, It starts (don´t know why) and entered bootloader. Unfortunatelly, I was too slept to try anything...
HTC wont take it to the SAT till monday, so any ideas will be really appreciated!

It reboots again. In fastboot, of course. My pc read it. Tried the battery charger pluggin. It worked, but didt start again. It is off again. What can I do if it starts again? erase cache?

[Q] Help please!

Hi guys... just flashed another ROM, as I have many times, but this time I'm stuck on the HTC screen. The phone doesn't boot past this and forcing a restart by holding the power key and volume down won't get the phone to boot into recovery. Does anyone know any way of forcing the device to boot into recovery. I've obviously cocked up somewhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

No... I kept the power button and volume down pressed even after the device restarted, and it then restarted again and booted into recovery. Never had an issue before trying to access recovery so thought it was a bit strange. It was probably just a fluke case. I understand why people jump to the "Did you flash the boot image / clear the cache" reply, but I'm not a novice here. I've been flashing ROM's since 2007!
Thanks for the replies any way

I always have to keep the power button and volume pressed down even after the device restarted, else it just goes over to start the rom automatically. Probably that was ur problem too.

Wildfire stuck in bootloop, successfully access fastboot what now?

Hi i have a HTC Wildfire that I thought i would repair for a friend, i've managed to get to fastboot through power+volume down, it says that the device is S-OFF, what do i do next?
If its a rom i have to install, i would prefer to install the stock sense rom.
thanks for your help in advance.

OK, I am getting these errors:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

OK, when i boot into recovery, i get a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark and nothing else, however when i try and flash a recovery through fastboot the above error occurs, i have no idea if this device has an unlocked bootloader but it is S-OFF

On some devices its easier with fastboot commands in others not. On the wildfire you can just place a file on your sd-card Boot into bootloader and the recovery gets flashed automaticly
So wait i will look for the file or link
EDIT: Here it is download and place in the root of your SD card
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/70647552/file.html
If the bootloader asks you anything selects yes (obviously)
Btw the red thing you See is the Android stock recovery

Ive tried this and it says "no image or wrong image" it does detect the zip but it says that message after.
im on hboot 1.01.0002, is there a manual way of updating this because ive tried HTC dev unlock RUU but since i can't boot into the phone i get error 190.

miniAndroidian said:
Is it really S-off cause normally s-off devices should have a 6. ,0.8 Or 1.6 and something hboot? I cant look on my wf now cause im on vacation
But with this hboot ruu should normally work. Are you flashing the 2.2 ruu?
If everything doesnt work s-off it again with revolutionary and see what happens

I don't think i clarified this properly, but i found this phone at my friends house in a cupboard and it was broken, so i don't know its history, but according to him the phone has been unlocked from 3 UK to any network by one of those mobile phone shops, and after a year or so of use, the phone randomly got stuck in a bootloop one day.
here is a screenshot of the bootloader:

Relocking was a bad idea, you just ran out of all options.
I'm not sure if there is any way around enabling OEM unlocking.
Try the previous suggestion.

Snapdragons are truly unbrickable. But I'm not sure I know enough to help.

this is what i see when i boot up

I'm fairly sure fastboot boot <image> doesn't even work if the bootloader is unlocked on the op3.
Also, it looks like recovery did get flashed.
Try rebooting to recovery?
Power off by holding power button, then hold vol down + power.
Then if you are booted into stock recovery, just side load the stock ROM.

1. Plug phone into computer
2. Turn phone off by holding down power for 40 seconds,
3. Now run unbrick tool with admin.
4. Hold volume up on phone till program reads phone then press start.
