I just rooted my HTC Desire and installed CM7 on it (loved it on my HTC Legend). But suddenly today, after I turned Wifi on, it started rebooting all the time, couldn't do anything to stop it. I thought "Hey, there was the radio flash thing in the tutorial that I didn't do yet, I'll try that out" so I flashed the radio. Then I chose reboot system, but it just booted to a logo with an android coming out of a trash can, and looked kinda stuck there. So I took out the battery and plugged back in. Now if I try to turn it on, it'll just vibrate 7 times - no picture or anything. Also there's no LED when I plug it to the charger.
I had those 7 vibrates too.
Happened after i flashed the cm7 hboot over my stock hboot while trying to enter recovery. After i re-flashed my recovery using fastboot, everything worked again. What happens if you try to power up while holding down vol- ? Did you use fastboot or your phones recovery mode to install the radio?
I am not able to start in recovery or anything. I tried vol. down + power and back + power and no matter what I try, it just vibrates 7 times. I used the recovery mode to install the radio.
You could try to connect your phone via usb and check if fastboot discovers your device. If yes, flash hboot and recovery using fastboot. If not, well... i dont have a clue. Sorry :/
Computer discovers nothing when I plug in the phone.
Bad news when u pulled battery u interrupt the process n u now have a bricked device I would b very surprised if u managed to do anything

For the record to help some of you out who ended up here Googling: I had a similar issue. My HTC Desire SV did not boot, and when charging, only had an orange flashing light, and the phone vibrated 7 times. I did 2 things that got it back up:
1) left the phone off for say 10 minutes (I read about overheating issues in general, although the phone did not feel hot).
2) removed the battery for a couple of minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: for step 2: make sure to have the battery removed long enough to drain internal charge. I removed and installed the battery in a second or so at first, and still the phone did not boot. After leaving out the battery long enough, it booted again. It appears to me that the issue in my case was a rather big internal charge capacity which kept internal state (memory and/or CPU?) from booting. Hope this helps...
My phone cannot turn on and charge.
Also it cannot connect with usb.
Before brick, its 4.04 CM9. One day its shut down but it can still go to recovery mode.
When I use CWM to wipe data and flash ROM. Its shut down and cannot turn on again.
I have the same problem like you

This also happened to me, I was never able to fix it though. Couldn't restore through CWM and the gnex tool kit wouldn't flash to stock. ODIN flash failed on me too and now my phone sits at the yellow triangle screen. I ended up ordering a new Nexus and am going to try to sell the other one.

Have you tried manually flashing the stock images through fastboot? If you have the i9250 (GSM Maguro) Please follow this guide on restoring to stock using the fastboot method. It has helped me before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

fOR the step 4) Boot your phone into the Bootloader mode
my phone cannot turn on , so how can i boot my phone into Boorloader mods?
same problem here bro. sucks. wont turn on. BS
I once had a similar problem. Thought my phone was bricked and was trying all day to recover. Eventually the battery died and it wouldn't turn on or charge even when plugged in with a wall charger. I had to find a different (charged) battery to put into the phone, then was able to boot and recover.

i had tried it before, but still not working. I had used three different (charged) battery. But also cannot turn on.
I find Unbrickable for nexus S, Is there any software like that for Glaxy Nexus?
Rguys I have the answer to this. I had problems and fixed my phone with ease (ish =p)
Not required (if you can turn your phone on do these steps)
1. Your gonna need dropbox(decent amount of space I needed 2.5 GB)
Stuff you need (if your phone can't turn on, do this anyways)
2. Wug's Galaxy Nexus Toolkit
3. Experience. =p
Who wants and still need to fix their nexus device from an annoying bug???
Me , please
Well since a toolkit (and not understanding how to use it) was what originally fuxored you guys....
Why not try to recovering by using one again hahahahaha.....right ?
You do not need a toolkit of any sort.
And what exactly is dropbox supposed to do for you if your phone won't get online ?
Common sense should dictate not to use something that screwed you over (the first time it's a mistake, the second time it's not a mistake anymore).
Common sense should also tell you that a person that just joined the site last month and has 28 posts with a donate button might not have your best interests in mind.
But hey, it's the intarwebz.....toss logic to the wind.
If you are unable to go into recovery or fastboot mode, then I'm afraid you are hard bricked and there really isn't anything you can do apart from return it to Samsung (hoping they will actually fix it or replace it). At the moment, there is no Unbrickable mod for the Galaxy Nexus.
I can go in Bootloader, but can't load or install Recovery
Error: FAILED (data transfer failure (too many links))
The battery won't charge either in Bootloader so I need to wait for an external battery charger from eBay, in the mean time I am showing some love to a NEXUS S bought on Craiglist yesterday.
;-(
why don't use Jig??
This is the one reason why I don't wanna root. I'm afraid of my device becoming a full brick. I know that Wugs will unbrick and restore a bootloop or a GNex that is stuck on the Google logo, but has anyone found out if you can UnBrick a GNex that won't turn on?

That's why it's never a good idea to flash links that are just randomly posted through a thread unless it's either from the op or you know for certain it's for our phone. Only options you have now that it's bricked is either jtag or go through insurance if you have it.

Hi! Today I was trying to put another ROM into my Motorola XT317 and I made the same mistake as you - put the wrong rom and the cell have turned off. After trying many and many things, I was on the last light of my hope, I removed the battery and plugged the phone into the pc.
The buttons of home, back and search blinked and turned on. So I though: let me put the battery on and see what happens. Then, after that, the screen turned on with the battery design of recharging.
I know it is a Motorola but it would help you or other users with the same thing or phone model as my.
Thanks!

Sorry. I just tried to help.
actually this guys MobileTechVideos.com helped me and i have my phone back! it was like 50 bucks.
i'd recommend mobiletech jtag to fix your phone. i bricked my phone too flashing a wrong kernel. it was $50 but well worth it saving a dumb mistake i made.
So, i tried changing my roms from Paranoid Android to myonev 9.5
And i knew i had to flash boot.img but then i thought I'd do it after flashing the rom (sorry im a noob) which happened to be a graaaaaave mistake
Now my phone doesnt switch on to bootloader nor does it show the charging LED!'
I have a primoU device. Ive googled aroud and found out that it could be a hard brick and the only way is to give it to a service centre..
But the problem there is i live in INDIA and we dont have much service centres here, the closest one is around 400kms from my home :/
So i wanna really make sure that is it worth travelling all those miles..
PLUS, My warranty expired 2 months back :crying:
I wish somebody helps me here, i will do ANYTHINGGG

Try reverting to stock with a stock backup you'll find that on xda ... of your phones not booting into bootloader manually try using the all in one kit..it should have such an option although i didn't try this... If u can boot in bootloader then there's 99.9% chance that ur phone will come back to live
hold your power button until the screen goes off
then hold down your volume down button until u boot into bootloader
if it doesnt boot, try and try again
if u can boot into bootloader, the rest is easy

hmmm then im sorry to say but i think u have bricked your phone :crying:
no choice but to send to hTC
is it this easy to brick?
one small error?
arent there any drivers for this qhsusb thing? so that it can detect my phone and then i can adb it to bootloader?
Sorry mate then I'm afraid it's bricked but still you should keep trying put the phone in charging even if its not showing led signal.. Then try again to boot into bootloader...maybe it helps..coz it should not brick so easily:fingers-crossed:

Actually it is a very good idea i myself did it once .. but the difference was that screen was struck on white bright HTC screen taking a lot of battery so it got discharged in 10 hrs but just now it will take a lot of time .. so i don't think you have that much patience...
That happened to me too, but that's not a brick, that's just stuck. This dude's phone is badly bricked, only way would be to find a driver for QHSUBS_DLOAD but I don't think it will be easy to find as all htc devices have this problem, someone would have already found it by now
So I was using my phone normally yesterday, until it shuts down randomly while using the camera. So I restarted it, but it still restarted as I got to my home screen. So I said to myself that there must be something went wrong in the rom that I am using (which is LOS 14.1), but I've got a backup before **** happened, not to worry, after I restored it though, IT STILL RESTARTED, but the weird part is, It doesn't restart if it is charging. So I wondered maybe the battery has given up, but in the TWRP, it doesn't restart even unplugged?
Things that I had tried:
1. Tried a new rom (this time using BORETS ROM), still restarts when unplugged.
2. Ran the backup again, still no change.
3.Drained my battery in TWRP, charged it up to 100%, still restarts.
Also, when I boot up my phone without a USB cable plugged in, It restarts when loading the main rom (the rom's splash screen, not the main splash screen), PLEASE HELP ME.

The problem just seems very weird to be a hardware problem , So, again, after charging my phone up to 100 percent, booted it up to Android and then unplugged it, and I had about a minute of activity now before it shuts down. Again in recovery or boot loader, it never shuts down.
Do me a favour , test with cable attached to phone but detached from charger to rule out USB socket , cable etc:good:

If its out of warranty , i would first check all connections inside phone ,
it could be battery
it could be main board or usb board.
If it were battery though , it should shut down connected to lower amp pc usb2.
Not much you can do really apart from above, usb boards are cheap`sh to buy, maybe worth the gamble ? Obviously if connections dont fix before ditching if main board. Try a discon of all connections and reconnect before ditching
I have the EXACTLY same problem.

Wow this is an old problem. Nope, I didn't fix it, instead I was back on my Galaxy Alpha until I moved on to newer phones. I believe the problem though was the battery, so if you want, you can replace that. Sorry for the late reply bro!
