Can you boot to bootloader? With the phone off, hold vol-down while pressing power on. If you see a menu screen show up, navigate to Recovery. Tell us how far you can go.

So you wiped, then installed a rom zip, then tried reboot but it gets stuck at the white HTC screen? Do you see any error messages in the recovery menu?
It's possible your emmc chip went bad. Follow the steps here that start with "To be sure that you really are effected by the emmc issue..."

i just try hard reset , wipe cache, data but nothing... when i enter in recovery appears a error message : E: can't open /cache/recovery/command ...
I would try to put the original rom whit adb but in the cmd the device appears connect but offline ...

Sounds like another busted emmc chip story that's it when I get my replacement I think I'm gonna be too scared to root it

Can't decrypt Galaxy Nexus after OTA

Just applied the 4.0.2 OTA update to my GSM Galaxy Nexus and after the reboot, even though i type in the correct password, my phone wont decrypt.
I read on android forums people with the 4.0.3 OTA having the same problems.
How can i reset my phone? How does Odin work? Somehow i am stuck at the screen with the android and his open chest

ok i got odin workin, needed to install the android sdk, wiping my phone now

Please note: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA
everything seems ok, i got into odin mode like this:
-connect your GN with usb to your computer
-start with power + volume down
-use volume up / down to select recovery mode
-confirm by pressing power
-you will see an android with a triangle
-press power and volume
-select factory reset
-confirm with power
-reboot
this worked for me only after i installed the android sdk, before that somehow i was stuck at the android with his chest open and couldnt select anything because somehow my device wasnt recognized
hope this helps

This also caught me out. Not happy.
Method I used (posted on OTA thread) worked without installing SDK:
Power off
Hold Volume + , volume - and power
You should get a green android image with the body opened with "Start" on the screen
Press Down till you get to recovery mode
Press power
Phone will reboot
You will then get same image of android (smaller) with red warning triangle
Wait a minute or two and then press volume + and power (not sure exactly what I did for this maybe it's just waiting)
Use volume down to select wipe data/factory reset and hit power
Select Yes - delete all user data and hit power
Once done select reboot system now and hit power
You are now back to zero and can start again.

Have you tried using fastboot to wipe userdata and system and then to flash the stock image?

The only way to decrypt an encrypted phone is using fastboot. Fastboot is a developer tool that runs on your computer. You need to download the full Google factory image or a full rom, and flash all of the files to your phone using fastboot.
CWM and other recovery software will not be able to factory reset the device.

This is not entirely true. You should be able to use TWRP 2.2.0. As well, have a look through this thread.

What is the command you have to type in prompt to do this?
I am also having trouble decrypting my phone. Factory reset it a couple of times and it is still encrypted.

[Q] Phone soft bricked? Unable to used ADB or Memory Card

Hello everyone,
I got my AT&T HTC M9 yesterday with 1.32.502.9. I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP successfully. I tried Installing Android Revolution 4.1 and didn't noticed the installation failed. When I restarted the phone it got stuck on the HTC logo. Someone after messing with the phone I ended up loosing TWRP and I'm back to the stock recovery with only these options:
reboot system now
apply updates from ADB
wipe data/fatory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
apply from phone storage
apply from sd card
My phone is stuck at the logo screen and I cannot sideload or flash anything from the SD memory card or phone storage. My phone gives me an error when I try to flash from the SD card and my computer now does not detect my M9 (all drivers were installed previously as well as the SDK)
I don't want to do anything else yet because I'm afraid I will make things worse. Could any body advice me on how to fix my phone?
Thank you!

I was able to fix it.

You have to switch to the download mode on your M9 and use the fastboot command to flash a custom recovery (TWRP2050 worked for me). Make sure your SDK is up to date and you download and install all the HTC drivers for the M9.

Shut the phone off,wait 10 seconds then hold volume down and start button. After a few seconds, it wil vibrate, release the buttons and it should start in donwload mode (black background).

Turn on you phone and wait about 10 seconds after seeing the HTC logo. Hold down the volume up button and power button for a few seconds until the phone vibrates, as soon as that happens switch to the volume down button and power button that should put the phone in "download mode." Connect your phone to your PC. On your command prompt you can type "fastboot devices" to check and make sure your phone is good to go. After that, you should be able to flash TWRP which in turn would allow you to flash a custom rom and fix your phone.

I don`t have m9 now but if you do this solution,maybe your phone boot up again ( this solution works on m8 )
I don`t think your phone bricked or damaged memory
you can do this solution,maybe your phone fixed !
1- charge your phone then update the htc usb driver and adb tools
2- then boot to the bootloader and flash the latest twrp recovery again ( don`t forgot do erase cache)
3- download other rom like viper rom then copy it on the flash memory ( to install rom with otg cable and flash memory)
4-do full wipe ( internal and external memory - system - cache - dalvik cache)
5- install rom from flash memory and do full wipe again in aroma installer
6- then restart your phone and wait to phone boot up again
7- if don`t boot up,go to the bootloader and flash boot.img from rom ( you should extract rom to see it )
after all you can s-off your phone if you like
good work:good:

Thanks for replying but I was able to fix my phone a few hours after. Those are the right steps but you're missing some details. HTC has now changed things a bit and added the "download mode." Flashing in bootloader does not work any more.

Glad your all sorted !

Me 2 help !!!!

Accidentally formatted system partition. Now stuck at bootlogo

While trying to flash a ROM , I formatted the system partition through TWRP and accidentally rebooted the phone. I was running MIUI 7 in the phone previously. I have TWRP backup of system and boot but the phone is stuck at bootlogo and power button volume down combo fires factory mode. I guess I deleted both the recovery and the OS. Phone is getting charged , as the battery indicator is displayed when plugged. Is there anyway to recover my A1?
Sorry if the question is a repeat. Any help would be appreciated.

yo man,
first of all for getting into recovery mode is ; power off your device > wait few seconds > then press power + volume up button, there you go.
then, if youve wiped your device's system partitions via twrp , nothin to worry, just download any rom, put it to your sd card, reboot recovery, wipe everything except sd card, choose downloaded zip to flash, swipe to confirm, once the flashing rom completes reboot your device. :good:

Mi Max 3 stuck in fastboot

Long story short, I tried to flash a global ROM on my Mi phone. However, after a few unsuccessful attempts at doing so, my phone is now stuck in the fast boot screen.
I tried all I know and what I can find online, but the problem still persists, where when holding the power button it would boot to main power screen and then make a buzz and go back to the fastboot screen.
Have tried:
- Resetting through recovery mode (pow + vol up)
- plugging phone into my computer to reflash the ROM (error remote: unknown command) / on my phone it would switch out of fastboot and instead display this message: "press any key/button to shutdown"
- pow + vol down (held for more than 1 minute)
- pow (held for more than 5 minutes, everytime it would boot and then boot back into fastboot mode with the buzz in between)
- ADB console commands:
- fastboot reboot
- fastboot device
- tried using MiPCSuite, plugged my phone in, but application didn't detect my phone
- running all applicable applications as mentioned above as admin
- when resetting phone progress bar would stop at 1.03% then it would say reset completed (I don't think did reset the phone, but whatever...)
- tried different ROM versions, Global and China (Once again it would either switch out of fastboot on screen OR in the flash tool it would display the error "unknown command" which I assume would be something to do with the communication between my PC and the device itself)
At this point I don't know what else to do, watched every tut on youtube, read pretty much all the forums I could find related to this issue.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Is it locked or unlocked?
I whould try to update firmware, then recovery (wipe all at this point) and at the end ROM (format data, wipe dalvik and cache at this point), always worked for me. But - the phone should be unlocked for this

I have tried going into recovery mode and wiping all data, and trying to update the firmware via the flash tool. But as I said above I can't it gives me the error "error: FAILED(remote:unknown command)" and since I can't get into my phone, I can't use mipcsuite either or enable and settings.

Note - wipe data and format data is not the same
I've stuck with some stupid error ("erase all data" message and reboot to twrp) for hours until I formated data
