[Q] Please HELP.. dead DEFY (stuck at android text screen)

I had just rooted my phone, having it in good condition for the previous 2 days. Suddenly it got restarted today, keep flashing at the beginning "android" text screen, when try to boot into recovery mode, only c the tiny android guy with an exclamation mark there.. pls help.. i dunno wat has gone wrong...

What did you use to root your phone ?

with superoneclick..

Did you try use volume up & down in the same time to enter recovery menu ?

When you see the tiny android guy with an exclamation mark, press vol up & down together to get recovery menu, press vol up or down to move the menu selector, and press the power button to select an item.

I rooted with superoneclick and had Pays ROM running perfectly fine on my phone, I just lost my network connectivity. I applied the 3g fix through adb push and then phone got stuck on the "android" splash screen. I can boot into recovery, and use vol up and down to get in, but can't do much from there. I can also access the bootloader by pressing power and vol up at the same time, but Ii'm not sure what to do after that. Any help is appreciated!!
EDIT/RESOLUTION:
I was able to use RSD Lite to flash another sbf to the phone after pressing power and vol up to get into the boot loader. After that, re-rooted with superoneclick, and reapplied Pays ROM - still no network connectivity though, so if anyone has an idea to get that back please holler!! I'm on T-Mo US.

Same problem here .. no operator service...help..!

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo after JB update

I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

That is exactly what I did, but I ended up on the black screen with the triangle (As stated in my first post).

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.

if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)

When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?

One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.

Recovery Booting...

Hi,
EVERY time i start my device, at the top left hand corner the words "Recovery Booting..." appear in blue.
But I am unable to boot into recovery mode, vol up+home+power doesn't do anything, it just boots normally into the phone (with the "Recovery Booting..." on the boot screen). I don't know if it's related, but Triangle Away doesn't work.
How do i boot normally?
Thanks,
Al

Are you trying to boot into recovery or a regular boot?

To boot into recovery try pressing Power + Vol up (no HOME button. It is not needed on the s4) and let go of the Power button when the phone vibrates. Release Vol when you see the boot screen.

Possibly bricked HTC One M8

Ok,
Was installing the viper rom on my M8, and for some reason, now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Obviously the install went pear shaped. But now I cant even boot the phone into recovery mode.
Boot sequence now is: Google lettering appears on screen, followed by green android with the blue spinning shape in its chest, then the green android with the red triangle and black exclamation mark appears and the whole thing loops again.
When plugged into the PC its not recognized so I cant use adb to boot into recovery or try load another rom/wipe cache etc.
I've tried all combinations of power button & volume up/down to break the boot sequence, no joy.
Any ideas how to resolve, or do I have a very expensive paper-weight?
Cheers,

Rest assured, if the screen comes on, the phone isn't bricked.
Red triangle with exclamation point is stock recovery.
What was your exact sequence, in detail? From bootloader unlock, install custom recovery, etc.
Was the phone on Lollipop when you unlocked the bootloader?
To reboot into bootloader (not recovery, there is no button sequence to boot directly into recovery on this device):
1) Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot
2) The moment the screen goes black to reboot, let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down
3) Don't let go of vol down until you are on the bootloader screen
4) Failure to get into bootloader is virtually always user error. You either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat until you get it right.
But from there, as mentioned it sounds like you are on stock recovery. You will probably need to flash TWRP again via fastboot in order to do much more.

Did you flash a custom recovery before you flashed the rom?? Can you boot in the bootloader mode (turn of Device completely- turn on again and hold volume down all the time.. then you should be in the bootloader)?
And your phone is not really bricked
Edit: damn to slow should not write on the phone

My friend, did you flash it using stock recovery or custom recovery? if you did flash it using stock recovery you will meet this kind of problems. I suggest you try power button and down if im not mistaken and go to hboot and fastboot usb and connect to adb, type fastboot devices in cmd if it detects your device then you can flash TWRP , find any kind of custom rom for M8 and flash it. I also assume your bootloader is unlocked and driver is installed in your PC.

Problem solved. Redpoint73's key press combination worked!

What recovery image did you try to flash?
Did you do it via twrp or PC?
