[Q] bricked

hate to ask for help bc u can usually find the answer somwhere....if my phone IS really bricked would love someone to tell me that so i can move on. seemed to have read that if it comes on then its not bricked..idk. ive rooted, flashed new roms and flashed it back completely stock.
i bricked it by attemting to flash it to boost...wrote nv items and zero'd out the meid. was looking for the esn so i could do the same, got a few of em.....phone fell battery flew..now i cant get past the first white htc screen...now this is where things get funky. a step of the guide i was following required root so i did n i saw cwm.. wen i got the bootloop i wasnt really worried at first bc i kne i could try a few things. well that didnt last long. booted into hboot n it said s-on..? then it wouldnt let me in recovery, just rebooted to the bootloop. i tried runnig unrevoked agn even tho i couldnt boot...couldnt read the phone. put the pb13img on sd card and it went thru its updating process n asked to reboot. reboots in same bootloop. next i tried runnig RUU..it runs and reboots my phone to the same bootloop...is there anyway to restore the ORIGINAL nv items and meid/esn...since these are the only things other than running unrevoked that ive changed i think thats where my problem lies. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which radio is currently flashed on your phone? I had this issue once, I had to flash back to the 7.28 radio to get my phone to boot.

damn when i saw this post, i thought it was my post! i did almost the exact same thing and its acting almost the same as your phone. i did the ruu and it worked on the one posted in my thread, ran through and all but nothing. how would i done grade the radio?

i never flashed a radio...hboot says 2.15.00.07.28..
lol waxworks i saw ur post also... started reading and we pretty much did the same thing on pretty much the same step of flashing to boost...mad as hell too stuck with this incognito for awhile smh..
is there anyway to flash a nandroid without being able to get into cwm? idk man jus not looking good.

Reading your post not sure if you used the stock image and tried to update using the hboot menu.There is a thread 5 vibe fix that may help you get a rom image back to your phone

I think we have bricks! I tried to do some other method that involved running a script and cmd prompts. Didn't do anything as I am also "S" on. I think all the fixes are for "S" off.

[Q] Can't turn on my S3 NEED HELP!!!

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

You first might wan't to post in the right forum. You have the t-mobile variant, so go to your community and get out of ours... Please

If you see this post, you should just reflash your current Rom or any Rom will replace all the files you altered or deleted. Might undo all that you just did, but that's better than having a phone that doesn't boot.

Did you flash the sprint cwm through Odin?

This doesnt sound like a complete brick. Odin is pretty smart these days and avoids flashing the wrong stuff. And the recoveries are interchangeable between the us variants. that wouldnt of caused a brick

Just if it's a known problem, or point him to the correct downloads to restore to stock instead of our community just assuming. And don't worry what I do. I always post in the right forums.

[Q] Phone Reboot

Hi everyone,
I seem to be having a problem with my One X, for the past hour the phone has been rebooting at random moments and its really p*issing me off!!
Its running stock ICS and all of the apps are installed from the play store so i don't think i have anything on it which is messing with it.
Is there anything i can do to stop this or do i need to wait for the Jellybean update and hope it will fix it?
I also heard that it might have something to do with my HBOOT which is 1.12 and i am waiting for 3 to update it!

Try to do a factory reset from bootloader first back up all ur data as factor reset vll erase everything
If the prob still exist take it to nearest HTC care centre
If I hve helped you press the thanks button ...

Try a simple sim pull if you haven't already. Often times if you are stuck on 3g, a sim pull will enable LTE when you reboot the phone. on Verizon.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.
Thank you in advance

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

copy your custom ROM into a flashdisk. then use USB OTG, search on youtube about the tutorial.

It usually is, I've just got back from holiday and ran up a large phone bill so been trying to sort that out.
People should private message me so that I get the notification email as I thought I was subscribed to this thread yet when I checked just now, there's loads that I hadn't seen.
Sorry!

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.

If firewater isn't working for your device, then this service nor any other can help you gain S-Off, like it's been started in many threads already. You'll have to wait until firewater suports your phone.

[Q] Restore Xperia Arc To Stock Rom (Ics) From Cm9

Hi ,
I need some help in resolving issues with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (LT18i). sorry for big post.
I searched over this and CM forums for similar issues/detailed stapes, but failed. please forgive if its same dumb question asked by several people, but right direction will be helpful.
I have loaded Cynogenmod on my mobile, but now I want to goto stok firmware. Please guide me the steps for noob. Small back ground:
My bro bought this phone a year back and felt its slow and struck some times. So, I collected it from him and want to resolve issues . observed that there is a lag while opening dailer sometimes and sometimes after dailing number it takes approx 5-7 minutes to start dailing. so, wanted to resolve it .
What I did: I read a guide for rooting talk dot sonymobile website and rooted using Eroot_V1.3.4. (also unlocked bootloader using sony official code from website developer.sonymobile as suggested at cyanogenmod wiki Install_CM_for_anzu)
Finally I got Cynogenmod on my mobile. but I observed many bugs in it. the Slow/lagging problem still exists.
Yesterday when I tried to switch on bluetooth, the mobile went crazy. it automatically rebooting for every 3-5 minutes.
I went to recovery mode, tried different options, no use.
Actually I have taken backup before installing cynogenmod (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip).
I took backup in view of going back, if some thing goes wrong. I thought it is the offical stock ware backup(rooted,unlocked and CWM added stock).So, just want to go back and tried to restore it. After sometime CWM restore completed when i rebooted system is up without any message on screen , I can see mobile is on by light.no flash screen nothing. after 10 minutes, I had to got back to latest backup of Cynogenmod.
Now I can see mobile is starting and CWm loaded but started rebooting loop. Then as a last try I have wiped cache/data.
Now my mobile is working but sometimes getting rebooted.
So, in this situation I want to go back to stock rom.
Please advise me how to go back. I dont need unrooting or unlocking boot loader. Just going back to stock is fine.
the dailer lag, dailing lag are ok for now. Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya

Dear SGY,
Thanks for quick answer.I checked the link suggested.I have downloaded the firmware link provided in that link. But I am confused whether it suits my situation or not.
I am worrying that if something go wrong my mobile might brick.
the reason for worry is as I already had cynogenmod. is that ok ?
one more question is that in CWM i have taken backup before installing cynogen mod. Is it not stock firmware ? If no, is that data backup ?
If it is data backup, can I restore that backup after following steps to get back stock firmware.
Sorry for too many questions.

thank you. now i could revert back my firmware. need to check how works
