have you tried to press back button and then power to enter fastboot?

i did...but nothing happen

I have had then when i messed up rooting my phone, its not bricked. your recovery is messed up, follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
if step 2 does not do anything then just hold volume down and power then navigate to recovery.
keep trying till you can boot recovery it will work, thats what i did

Did you try running the RUU update while you are in this mode?
The USB port should be in hboot-usb mode.

Koedil,
Did you ever manage to fix your Desire? If you did, then how did you do it?
I have the same problem and am tearing out what little hair I have.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

I figured out a fix
If you haven't already fixed your Desire, then after some trial and error I came up with this fix (post #5) that worked for me.

Read it ....Hope our xda be better

[Q] Help! I think I've bricked my phone.

I think I have bricked my phone. I followed the instructions listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
but have when i restart the phone, it is just stuck on the words HTC
doesn't load into anything else.
What should I do?

Well as your phone powers on its not a proper brick, when it powers on and gets to the first boot screen like you say there is usually like a 99% chance it can be recovered.
Edit: stupid thanks button!
How long do you leave it on the htc bit before you power down again? maybe your just not waiting long enough.

left it on for 10 minutes.
all it says is "HTC" in green...

Are you able to get into hboot? Try holding the volume down key while you turn on the phone.

One easy thing to try would be to flash an RUU, make sure you find the correct one for your phone (Z or G2) and make sure its the latest one around.
That will return your phone to stock so you can attempt to root again.

yes, yes i can get into HBOOT.

my phone is a g2. How do I flash a RUU?

my mistake, wasn't aware there appears to be no way to flash a new firmware on a g2 unless its by ota.... sucks
edit: just bare with us we will have an answer for you soon.

What about recovery? There should be a recovery option in the hboot menu.

Thank you so much!!

Have you got a custom recovery?
If so, flash a new rom

I tried recovery. It turns into a blackscreen with a phone in the middle and a read triangle with a ! on top of it.
I dunno if that is telling me to not turn off the phone.

no, from your description above, you just have stock.
I have an idea that you should be able to fasboot install a new recovery, then from there you will be able to flash a new rom.

Oh ok. I think I'm a bit more calm now. So is there anything you need to know? In regards to the blackscreen with the red triangle warning sign in the middle. Can reset my phone?

I take it you know how to use adb (based on the root process you were trying to do)?

I know some. But not everything. Only the very basics. I have had a rooted hero before. I have had some experience with it.
I am not able to use adb tho. (As in, can't get it to work currently)
when i type "adb remount"
it says "error: device offline"
I have plugged in the USB cable.

basically all you need to do is find the clockwork mod recovery image file
put it in your adb folder
turn phone on hboot, and select fastboot
then type the following into your pc
"fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]"
obviously replace [recovery.img] with whatever your recovery is called (and no [])
then you should be able to boot into clockwork mod recovery and from there you can install a new rom.

before I really do anything wrong here, would you be able to direct me to an image file?

i have found this thread. however, there is no option to download the recovery file.

use this one for now, you can update with a newer one after your booted back to a rom

My Xperia S device is stuck in bootloop

Hello.
Recently I've tried to get myself a new ROM. I've decided to choose this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685822
Everything was going just fine. I unlocked bootloader, flashed device, accesed CWM menu, did all the wipes but the dalvik cache one and then my device kinda re-connected through the usb (you know, the sound windows makes when you disconnect and connect device). I had no idea what happened and from that point I can no longer acces my phone. It's stuck at Pac Rom logo. The phone only responds when i turn it on in fastboot mode (power + volume up button). Then a blue led lights up.
Have I really just bricked my phone beyond repair? Could anyone help me?

RUU? Why?
Download a ROM onto your PC (I recommend ViperOne ), and transfer it to your extSD with a card reader. Put that into your phone, and flash it in recovery.
That should about do it.

Did you look at my sig? lol! I work with Team Venom as a member in support. So of course I recommend ViperOne.
It's the most customizable Sense based ROM out, and with it there is a good chance you won't need Xposed. You can use it though, if you want to.

Bricked my phone after updating

Hi there. I tried to update my Elephone P8000 but to no avail – my phone stuck in a boot loop and I couldn’t use it at all.
I noticed it had happened to more people online so I tried one of their fixes of flashing the stock ROM...which didn’t work.
I have downloaded all drivers, followed every tutorial step by step but nothing! And now instead of being stuck in a boot loop my phone won’t turn on at all.
My PC still recognises the phone which I guess is good, except I still cannot flash the stock ROM.
It gets past the red bar and the purple bar but then gets stuck at Download Flash 0%
Is there anything else I could possibly try as I’m all out of ideas and I really love this phone!
Thank you!

Try again using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3334698

It is just the same exact thing that happened to me. I would thank any help.

Your going to need to flash a Rom to fix it. Follow steps in the guide I linked above to flash.
Updates will brick these phones if they are rooted.

The number 7 key. If you're using keypad and numlock is off you will be pressing curser left. If you're using a laptop with a monitor attached to it the monitor will be black and the display will be on the laptop screen.
Other methods, try here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/open-advanced-startup-options-windows-8.htm

Posting in case someone has the same problems as me.
I finally could do it with flashtool and some generic drivers I found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ff6s5bk1couva9/Compelte+USB+Drivers+PDanet+Adb+Installer.rar
These drivers are signed, so I could install them without issues.
I have installed a custom recovery and a custom rom (nexus).
However, thank you very much, thundermuppet.
