What is bricking of phone and how do we found out that phone is bricked?can we recover phone from it?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Bricking is when your phone is a "brick", as in it doesn't boot.
And most of the time it is recoverable, but it depends on how it's bricked.
According to u when I'll press power and volume down button wildfire will not show anything?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
It all depends on how it's bricked, in most cases vol- and power should show the bootloader interface.
K...thank u...

It's not bricked if it's recoverable.
Agree with henkdv. A phone is bricked when u can't recover it,hence its just a paper weight in ur hand like a brick. U can't use it anymore like a phone... so its a brick only

But cant somebody find out some new way accessing the phone from a pc and re-downloading all the software manually to get their phone unbricked? sounds stupid but is it possible lol
my phone is bricked
it stucks at revolutionary on recovery. Can't do anything. When I power on it's the bootloader interface. Can it recover ? PLEASE HELP ME ! D:
there is only 2 kinds of bricked.
1. Soft bricked. IE your rom is boot-looping, or you cant get past the splash screen.
2. you have killed the radio or bootloader and the device does not respond at all, or the phone only vibrates and shows nothing on the screen.
1 is totally fixable depending on how you have gotten yourself into that position. IE flashing the wrong kernel for your device, or flashing 2 roms on top of each other and not wiping properly ect. this can usually be fixed with a recovery.
2 is only fixable in 2 senarios. the 1st is with a device called a j-tag. this device is mounted to the motherboard of the phone and is then used to force new software onto the device, replacing the damaged software, thus fixing the device. the other depends on how many vibrations you get. you may be stuck in qualcomm diagnostic downoad mode and it is possible to re-flash the bootloader via the rom.zip from the appropriate ruu and a process called blind booting.
in general most can get by with knowing that if it turns on, and you can get to the bootloader the device is not bricked. if it doesnt turn on it is bricked and not fixable for most, unless you have the hardware and the know how.
job done

is your device s-on or s-off? what does the bootloader say?
I'm a bit confused as i purchased a used one x from eBay UK and having some problems and may need to send back to HTC but would like to be sure if it was ever rooted etc in case HTC invalidate my warranty!
Here are some screenshots of about box:
Thanks in advance....

First thing to do is check the Bootloader.
Power off device (with fastboot disabled in settings) Hold volume down and power on until you boot into Bootloader and check the top and see if it says "Locked" "Unlocked" or "Relocked". If it is "Locked" you can safely assume you'll be ok to send your phone in for anything covered by the warranty.

Technically that's the bootloader....not recovery.
Only pointing that out in case someone else needs the info contained within this thread....
Throwing bricks since 2008.....and proud of it.
hi got a second hand one x is there a way to check if it has been unlocked before ? it was reset to factory when i got it read something that it might say reloked were would i see that?
To check to see if its sim unlocked put a different sim in and see what it says.
You can check to see if the bootloader is unlocked by turning the phone off, hold the volume down button and the power button. If it says relocked it has been done via htc dev. To get the unlock code file just go thru the htc dev process.
Btw htc dev process does not unlock the phone to allow you to use different sim cards.

Hey all,
My friend's phone used to boot it to the bootloader after every 6 hours or so on its own. Now it booted again to the bootloader and bootloops to the HTC screen and bootloader. It is S-ON and bootloader is locked. I can see option for fastboot, recovery. Havent tried anything yet. No custom rom was ever installed and was never rooted.
hboot version is 1.36.0000
Also it shows a warning that Battery Level is too low to flash.
is there anything be done to restore the phone or is it hard bricked?
if you want screenshot of the bootloader then I can post.
EDIT: Screenshow of the bootloader screen attached
Install RUU. It should fix your problem.

Ran the battery boosting script. Was able to exectute the unlock.bin command. It went successfully. Phone asked me to accept the disclaimer voiding warranty. I did that. Rebooted the bootloader. And still, it shows as locked but now with a Security warning. Along with the batterly level too low to flash warning.
Any help? I was trying to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery to charge the phone atleast 30%.
UPDATE: After sever re-tries I figured out, now when on the htc disclaimer screen when I use volume buttons to select Yes, the power button to select doesn't responds, but for no it works.!
Don't know what my phone is upto. it is getting too much frustrating to me.
UPDATE: Got another unlock_code.bin from HTCDev. But now another problem is there. No matter how many times I try the device stays unlocked. I tried almost 15 stays in a row and I stays locked. Any idea how can I get out of this mess?

Boot into you bootloader, and post the readout here. I will direct you to the proper firmware and give you instructions on how to flash it.
If you don't know how to get into your bootloader: turn your phone off, then hold down the power button + vol down till your phone boots up..

Okay. Post what it says next to OS in your bootloader. That should be enough information.
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------
I see you got it before I posted my last reply.
I can help you here. I'm going to give you 5.0.1 firmware to flash. You'll need it for ViperOne if you don't want wifi problems.
Download this firmware.
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) and place it onto the root of your extSD. (by root of I mean just on the card, not in a folder)
Boot into bootloader by turning off your phone, then turning it on by holding down the power button + vol down.
Using you volume keys to navigate, and the power button to select, choose hboot. (it'll be on top and highlighted already, no need to navigate. more for future reference for you)
Follow the prompts (vol up to flash, power button to reboot)
That's it. You now have Lollipop firmware.
Make sure to delete the renamed file from your extSD, otherwise it will try to update again every time you boot into hboot.
It doesn't work.

You'll have to go back to stock and take the OTAs that your carrier offers, or get s-off to use the method I posted.
You could also run the signed RUU. Search the forums for it. I'm not home. I'm on my phone, so it's a hassle to link you.
