This morning I tried to flash Blackout ICS Incredible. I am currently stuck on stuck green logo with white backgroud forever. I am using CWM touch recovery. I can not get to cwm, bootloader or Hboot menu. Only way i can reboot is to take out the battery. Once I put the battery in and let it boot, it goes back to logo screen and gets stuck. Then I took out the battery again and put it back it and press power button while pressing down vol- button, and it goes back to same logo screen and stuck. Again if i take out the battery and put it back it, and if I press the power button while pressing down the vol+ button, the phone vibrates 3 times and goes blank(dark) with battery indicator light blinking(i am not sure if that is battery light).
Any help would be appreciate. I am trying to connect to adb or fastboot, but it does not connect to the phone yet.
Pull the battery, wait five minutes.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button. Don't let go. Wait.... wait, should go into recovery.
Full wipe.
Format data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
Restore a back up.
Then read how to get that rom working. Been posted too many times as for me to repeat it. Check the thread somewhere below yours, the title of the thread I believe is the same as the rom, answer is there.

Just saw the HBoot screen but lost it. What I did was, took out the battery, sdcard, SIM. Replace the battery but not the cover of the battery. Then I hit power and volume(plus/minus) button, the HBoot menu came up, but because the batter cover was not placed, the menu was lost when I did not hold the phone tight, meaning batter got loose. Now I am trying to get back to HBoot menu again after replace battery and cover but to no avail. I still have sdcard, SIM out of the phone. I think there is some combination of keys you've to press coming out from cold boot vs. not. will keep on trying unless someone already knows.

That is common flashing that rom. Choose full wipe in aroma installer even if you did it manually. When the flash is done, don't choose to reboot with aroma installer...DO IT MANUALLY from recovery!!...that should solve it...:good:
The same happened to me and found that solution in their thread.

I was able to get to HBoot, choose recovery, came up with CWM touch, did the wipe data/app, delvic, cache, did format /data, /* all the mentioned other than /sdcard. Then went to install from sdcard and choose that Blackout rom. went through the installer but at the end chose not to reboot from the installer as suggested. Then came back to CWM touch menu and did the reboot from there. It stuck on that logo screen again for 5 minutes. Now again took out the battery for few minutes, and want to go back to HBoot, but could not. Do I have to take out SDCARD as well, Do not think so but not sure. And why do we have to take out battery for so long, any idea, taking battery out for a minute isn't enough?
5 minutes just in case.
You missed one step. Wipe from aroma as well.

Should work without battery pull as long as you power off. But when it doesn't, battery pull.
Just volume down, the power, both pressed till it turns on.
Oh, and fastboot unchecked
Edit: if it stll doesnt work, could be a bad download.

If that doesn't work this straight booted bricked phone when nothing else would. Took 2 months of searching but I got it working within 5 minutes.

After monkeying around with this ROM for a day, it was actually problem with CWM recovery. It looks like this ROM is not compatible with this recovery. I replaced cwm with 4ext recovery and voila I was able to flash this new ROM. Thank you guys so much for helping out. This community is really great to be part of.

I had the same problem after unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev. After a lot of searching, it seems that the HTC process keeps the boot partition locked from recovery but not from fastboot.
I was able to get around this by unzipping the Rom and flashing boot.IMG using fastboot and then flashing the Rom again.

I'm very new to developing and I was experimenting with the terminal. I typed stop and hit the return key and my phone screen went black. I then performed a battery pull and now my phone will not start. Can somebody give me instructions on what I did and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated
Have you tried booting into HBoot
battery pull, hboot, recovery, restore backup. if that doesnt work then maybe try fastboot? do you know what that command is meant to do?
UPDATE: I held down the power and volume up buttons for about 5 seconds. The device vibrated, but the screen stayed black and now the LED is blinking orange. How do I proceed from here?

Have you tried a different battery? That doesn't seem to be a software issue.
Its the power button and volume down.
if nothing seems to be working then fastboot is probably your best option

I tried a different battery and the same thing happened. Even before I ran into this problem, when I would hit that button combination this would happen. Does anybody know what power + volume up (not volume down) does?

Did you have some problems with the volume rocker, especially with the vol+ button, recently?
It's the same that would have happened if you held down vol+ and power.
Also, which operation did you stop?
No problems with the volume keys but my phone always did that if I held the power button and the volume up. And I didn't stop any process I just typed in "stop", and hit enter
Hm, I just did exactly what you did.
-Ran "stop" in a root shell
-Display went black
-Pulled the battery
-Booted it up again
Didn't have any problems with it.
As far as I know, the flashing orange light at boot is triggered by the debug mode (vol+ and power, but you can't do anything in it) or a corrupted bootloader.
However, a corrupted bootloader caused by this command is very unlikely, since it doesn't actually do anything to the device's partition table.
Did you do anything to the bootloader or anything related to that before you hit stop? You might have screwed it up in another way, maybe without even knowing since the device will run without a problem, even with a corrupted bootloader. Until you reboot, that is.
Anyway, I'm still guessing that you're just entering the debug mode for whatever reason.
I will try it with a battery that I know is working. The splash screen isn't showing up either so I think the Android OS was corrupted in some way. Also, if I do have a corrupted bootloader, how would I fix that?

By sending it to HTC.
I don't really know if there are any JTAGs for the DHD.
Tried using a battery that I know works. No luck. I tried booting the phone up and booting into HBoot, but nothing happened
Was trying to switch from TWRP to CWM (having trouble with TWRP installing CM nightlies). I installed the latest CWM via fastboot. Seemed to load OK, but when I tried to start up the recovery, it just rebooted after showing 'Entering Recovery...' in pink at the top.
Now I'm really stuck. No matter what I do, the phone starts up, shows Entering Recovery at the top, and then shuts down. I cannot enter the bootloader. I cannot start up the phone into the ROM (which is a TikTak ROM that was working fine). Basically, I'm unable to do anything.
When the phone is plugged in, no orange charge light comes on. Vol Down + Power doesn't work. Vol Up + Power doesn't work. Either way, the phone tries to enter recovery, then shuts down.
Is there anything else I can try? Is this phone bricked?
What was the fastboot command you did? It sounds like you flashed to the wrong partition, or flashed an m7 recovery instead of an m7wlv

fastboot flash recovery <cwm.zip> (whatever it was called)
Same way I did it for TWRP which worked perfectly.
Really need a solution here, if there is one. Currently planning on just letting the battery drain and starting again...

If you can't get a charge light while it is off, DO NOT let it die! It will not charge while dead. When it is booting, can you do adb or fastboot commands from your PC? If so, try:
ADB/fastboot reboot bootloader
Sent from my HTC6500LVWBLU using XDA Free mobile app
Usually, the command: fastboot erase cache
Will resolve such issues, though it doesn't always work, depends on what's causing the actual issue.
But that is what I would suggest trying from fastboot.
Problem is I can NOT get into the boot loader at all, unless i'm missing something. Start phone, tries to load recovery, shuts off. That's it. Is there a way to get the bootloader to open? I seem to have no options.

With device powered off,
Power + volume down
Even if partially powered on, trying to load recovery,....
Same process, hold volume down and power until it boots to hboot.

Tried it man, vol down + power as much as you want. It starts, tries to enter recovery (for about 3 seconds) then goes dead. The thing is, even with the screen off and I plug it into the computer, the computer recognizes the phone a little... It says 'driver not recognized' (even though they're installed). So maybe it's actually partially on in the background, and locked up? That's why I'm hoping the battery running down will fix it.
I'm literally dusting off my old galaxy nexus to get that loaded up, because I need my phone. I'm worried the One is bricked.
***Edit / update - when I plug the phone in 'off' (not responsive) mode, and try fastboot anything, it hangs saying 'waiting for device'. Whatever that means.

You are holding down on both the volume down and the power button for as long as your fingers can stand to?
It's not a quick press of both, but a steady hold down of both buttons, even if it tries to do the recovery loading , keep holding both down.
Make sure you are pressing them both FIRMly and for at least 30 seconds or more.
If you are already trying that, then disregard.
But the way it's behaving, it doesn't sound like you are.
If so, again, disregard, just making sure you are attempting one of the only possible methods you have, correctly.
As it won't do what it's supposed to if you do not continue to hold them down, even if that entering recovery screen comes up, you need to continue holding them down.

Yes, that's what I've been doing - and if I hold it down for a longer time, the phone will just cycle through. Off, "Entering recovery", off, "entering recovery", etc every 10 seconds or so. It's clearly not working.

Well that's too bad. Sorry to hear you're having these issues.
I noticed in your first post in this thread, you said you did this:
fastboot flash recovery cwm.zip
Was the file actually a zip?
It should have been a .img file.
Just trying to figure out what happened, as it could help in finding a resolution.
As it stands right now, there is nothing really to go off of.
Anyone, still trying to recover my phone... Here's where I'm at. I figured out that while the phone is off, if I plug it in, I can access ADB via the computer's cmd prompt, but no fastboot (says 'waiting for device'). If I use ADB to reboot the bootloader or recovery, I get the same problem - phone resets, tries to enter recovery for 2 seconds, then back off again.
Can I somehow use ADB to get the phone working again?

If you borked your boot loader where you can't access it, there isn't much we can do to help. If the phone can't boot to the boot loader, we can't do anything to help. I think the only thing you can do is send it in for JTAG.

Appreciate the suggestion but have no idea how to proceed with this. Read that link, even more clueless.
Hello friends.
I got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday and today I'm in trouble already.
I unocked the bootloader, installer twrp and rooted with magik succesfully, but I had trouble installing my apps (titanium backup gave me a parcing error and the googgle play store wanted me to pay again for my purchases for some reason), so I figured I do a factory reset so I get prompted to restore from my old phone via cable. So I went to settings -> factory reset.
The problem is that when android rebooted to erase the data, I instead got dumped into twrp on a screen that says Mount Decrypt Data and is asking me for a lock pattern. But the screen doesn't responds, so I can't proceed. The power hard button just toggles the screen on and off but it does not reboot or turns the phone off when I hold it, so I don't know how to get to my bootloaded to maybe reinstall a factory image or what else to do.
I'm just stuck on that screen without options.
I would very much appreciate any advice.
Hold power, vol up and down buttons until your device turns off.. then go into bootloader by holdind vol down and power
I thank you very much for your reply.
I did booted succesfully into bootloader, but now I'm affraid I jumped from the frying pan into the flame because now my phone doesn't power up at all. If I connect it to the charger I don't get the battery with a lighting bolt that I'm supposed to get. The only life sign I get is if I plug it via USB to my computer, I do get the sound that windows plays when yoy connect something, but other than that, the phone seems to be dead.
I'm guessing it's something with the hardware?

Was the battery low when you started this?
Are you familiar with ADB? When plugged into the computer type adb devices or fastboot devices does it return your device serial number? If so type adb reboot bootoader.
If not I would hold the power button for a good 20-30 second and see if you can force it to turn on or reboot and immediately hold volume down to get back to bootloader.

Thank you very much to everyone for your time and help.
Thanks to your advices I was able to solve it. In case anyone ever finds himself or herself out in a similar situation, here's what ended up happening:
After holding the power button for about 30 secs as Namolas sugested the phone did reboot itself and brought me back to that twrp mount decrypt data screen asking me for a lock pattern. It was then just a matter of adb booting to the bootloader and install a factory image as usual.
Thanks again. I appreciate it guys.
I'm pretty sure I permabricked this phone by:
* reflashing the stock system image
* flashboot --set-active=_b
* flashboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Now I can't boot or access download mode - I was able to before by holding the volume down button when powering on.
Each of these steps I'd done many times before trying to getting a bootable LineageOS install. I was actually pretty close - ran into the enter decryption key problem, used twrp to "format data" to try to get a fresh decrypted data partition, but was now stuck at the endless os boot animation.
I had read the suggestion to reflash the stock image and try again when having this kind of issue. It seemed safe, I had done it before, but I think that this time for some reason, it left me in a bricked state.
Any suggestions for getting out? I'm basically stuck on the first black and white Razer logo screen that says "Powered by android". The phone isn't detectable as a USB device on any of my computers anymore and nothing I do seems to be able to get it into download mode.

I have done that a few times. Each time I powered on the phone and left it at the black and white razer logo screen until the battery drained. Then I plugged the phone into the wall charger for a few hours to make sure it was full again. Then I plugged the phone into my pc and do the volume down and power thing to get into download mode. I don't know why draining the battery and charging it helped me out, but I have had to do it a few times because I got stuck on that razer logo screen just like you are now.

Razer phone has no physical home button. Only possible way is plugged usb from a non charging source like a computer or another phone and Vol down + power or plug in usb from a computer while volume down is held down.

Hold volume up and power for the phone to hard shutdown and as soon as the screen goes black, let go of all buttons then plug a usb c to a cpmputer first then before pluging anything to the phone, hold volume down and as you are holding volume down, plug in the cable to the phone?

Razer phone has no physical home button. Only possible way is plugged usb from a non charging source like a computer or another phone and Vol down + power or plug in usb from a computer while volume down is held down.

This thread popped up under "participated" somehow - did not note it wasn't Samsung- lol.

Hold power and volume up for a minute or more till it fully powers down. I don't remember having another device that took as long as this one to hard reset.

No luck with waiting for the battery to die or the 3 button salute - pretty sure I'm hosed here. Let my experience be a lesson to others, Razer phones are quite easy to brick!

The trigger to enter fastboot seems to be holding the "vol down" key AND the usb cable attached to the pc. You should connect the cable first and then do the hard reboot+release keys+hold vol down

No difference. Always worked for me with phone powered off and holding the vol down and then plugging it in, tried that too and didn't work for me.
Hi i have found company (if you google "arykstore") that deals with hardbrick issues. They just started unbrick project on razer phone after my request for help. If they rise money to obtain working razer device they will extract and provide essential filles to resurrect any hardbricked razer phone.
