Well I just woke up and I tried switching my phone and what would you know it worked but it kept switching itself off as soon as Touch Diamond was shown. So I entered bootloader and I flashed the EnergyRom and the phone restarted itself and on the starts screen my Radio was mentioned as "1.20 Olinex" and my prtocol was 52.55a something. And also there was a "G" in the bottom left corner after which it went to customization where it switched itself off again and now I can't switch it on again what do I do. :S

If you can, next time when it starts to work again, Try flashing the Radio to a proper one, then flash your hardspl again, then install a new rom.

Hey thanks a lot everyone I had to flash a stock ROM and everything started working perfectly again but I still wonder what had gone wrong. hmm. thanks a lot anyways guys.

[Q] HTC Desire Z constantly restarts

Hi, i have a problem with my phone i could not find any solution online.
Two days ago the phone was in my pocket in sleep mode. I took it out and it was closed, no button was responding, i took the battery out, put it back again and started it. It asked for the pin code, i entered then it said "unlocking sim card" then the phone restarted.
From that moment it constantly restarts, regardless of me entering pin code or not, it restarts. I use stock firmware and i didn't do any overclocking or any modifications to the phone.
I tried the boot screen (the one which is entered by pushing yolume down+power button) I did factory reset from that screen, it didn't help. I put the phone in recovery mode and a screen appears and nothing happens, i think it is like a dfu mode in iphone, i don't know how to use it. In the boot screen a green text screen appears for a second says "PC101img.zip is missing" or something like that.
Do i have to load the rom again to this phone? If so how can i do that?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hey,
i've never heard of this issue on any phone.
So you coulds just try to do a few things.
First you could try to flash a new radio ROM.
just see the android developement section and the radio thread.
the radio doesnt change the actual rom on your device so yiou wouldnt loos your data.
it might help it might not, as we dont know what the reason for the issue ist.
when does it reboot? when you enter the sim code?
try a different sim card, just to see if it still happens and/or try to remove the sim passcode.
this might help and might help to see where the issue is...

Thanks for the answer. I didn't try different sim card but i tried to start the phone without the sim card and the sd card. It didn't change anything, it still restarts after few seconds.

I don't see how a new radio would affect the phones sim card...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

The problem seems to be with the sim card. I changed the sim card of the phone and it didn't restart from that moment. I used vodafone sim card with the phone for a week and after a week sim card started restarting the phone.
Is there a known cause of vodafone sim cards doing this?

Re: Constantly reboot...
the same issue does happen on mine! Stock firmware, never rooted, however, I've tried using different SIM cards and removed SD card, the same situation still exists. Reboot and reboot... please help!

Yeah, and randomly suggesting to flash new radios for a problem this person never heard of before is not great advice. Bricking the phone is possible when radio flashing, and should be approached with caution, and only done when there is a radio-specific issue.

[q] htc g2 not rooted semi bricked boot looping please help

Long story short my friend gave me a T mobile HTC G2 because it didn't turn on. I opened the phone to find the part where the battery connects to the phone came off the mother board so i solder it back on put the phone back together and turned it on. It booted up normal and came to the lock screen nothing worked the touch wasn't responding so i push power button to turn screen off and then again to turn it back on and the screen worked. I tried guessing his pattern five time and it didnt work it asked me to sign in to my Google account when the screen came up the phone rebooted and it kept doing it every time i turned it on. So i looked on xda how to restore it tried it and im not sure if it restored or not but it strated boot looping. I tried the flashing the pc10img.zip from the root of the sd card it usually says something like version to new or to old or something it didn't work. My phone is not rooted and i don't think usb debugging is on. Any info you guys want just ask. What can i do? How can i fix it? Please help

I'm going to take a guess, that if the battery connection to the motherboard 'broke off', then it's possible you have other physical issues such as the ribbon cable connecting the screen/digitizer to the rest of the phone.
If it were me I would have sent the phone into HTC for hardware warranty (which you can't do now since you soldered it.).
Can you provide some specific information about the phone, can you get into the boot loader, and if so what exact information do you have there? (USB debugging would be easily turned on under system settings, if you can get into it via the screen).

Thanks for replying i don't think anything else is wrong with the phone all the cables were fine. To begin with warranty was already finished. "Yes", i can get into the boot loader/H boot. I can turn on usb debugging because the phone doesn't boot all the way in to android. When you say information what exactly are you looking for?

when you first had the phone it won't boot right? but when you tried fixing the battery connection thingy (sorry I don't know whats it called )
it booted and ran again?
have you tried doing a factory reset?
Power button+volume rocker down (volume down button) to boot into bootloader mode then do a factory reset maybe that would work ?

or sending the phone to HTC would help bud but you have to pay them for that if they get to fix it you got yourself a new toy!

Would probably have to stick to the original Stock RUU update since you're S-ON (would need S-OFF for any kind of custom recovery, kernel, unsigned packages, etc), so would have to use a signed full package from T-Mobile, I don't know much bout that because I usually have my phones rooted and away from stock as fast as I can.
What stock rom did you find before? links?

Thats is the above link i used and i used all the ones that start with "PC10" I rename them to PC10IMG.zip so the phone can recognize it and it did. The only problem is that after it tries to install is say something along the lines of version is older or newer since i tried multiple packages. One package was going through the process and after that it didn't do anything, it didnt say failed or reboot or anything like that. Ive been trying to fix this for like a week and a half now. Ive even flashed custom PC10IMG.zip to see if it could help but nothing the furthest ive gotten is the phone boots for like 2 seconds the screen is blurry and the shuts off and there is an orange light in top right that wasn't lighting up before. Here are the links for the custom packages

You would have to much it to your exact carrier/phone, Just flashing whatever you get your hands on can be very very risky.
For example for me being on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile branded G2, I would grab PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971109
(noting the *.15 is the original radio my device was shipped with, though I've upgraded to the newer *.19)
I of course have no intention to returning to complete stock, but it's usually the only course of action for most people stuck with S-ON (and then would look into exploiting/unlocking/rooting again from there).

Same problem, but desire z S-ON
Hey guys.
I have the same problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed
via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.
The factory reset just frezzes the phone.
The only thing reali seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over the phone. then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.

No service after flashing Paranoid Rom

So I flashed the ParanoidAndroid 3.60 rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790 ) . After setting up the phone I realised I have no service (although the mobile recognised the SIM card). Then I installed an old baseband fix. After that my desire stopped recognising the sim at all (it worked in my other mobile fine though). Now installed Nick's Phone Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521514 ) and there it is working fine. I full wiped every time. I formatted everything. Though it is not working.
Any ideas?

You can try updating to the latest radio (5.17.05.23). Do this carefully. Im you mess up, you can permanently damage your phone:
- Setup adb/fastboot by reading this
- Install these drivers
- Download the radio from here. Extract the zip and you will find the radio.img. Put this somewhere where you can easily access it
- Turn the phone off, then boot it back into the bootloader using volume down and power. Then use the volume keys to scroll down and select FASTBOOT using the power button
- Plug the phone into the computer
- Open command prompt from the location of your androidsdk/platform-tools directory, and run the following command to confirm that the phone is recognized:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it is, then proceed with this command.
Code:
fastboot flash radio /path/to/radio.img

strange it seems to work now. Can you explain why the Radio is making such a difference?

Well after trying out the ROM 1 day: The phone now does detect the SIM and I do have service but only temporarily. After like 30 minutes it gets disconnected . Somtimes it even needs multiple reboots to get service again. Else it won't detect the SIM card after a reboot.

Then there must be compatibility issues between the ROM and your network provider. I can't find any other explanation.

Stock AT&T HTC One M8 stuck on Airplane Mode/Radio Off

Just got an HTC One M8 not so long ago, I've never dropped it or anything like that but today my phone had an 'x' over the signal bars and no matter what I do (Reset/Power Off/Turn on-off Airplane Mode Toggle/Remove SIM) it still has its radio turned off.
I entered in *#*#4636#*#* to check the phone information and shows that the radio is turned off. When I click the button [Turn on radio] it does absolutely nothing.
The phone is completely stock and it's been only a month since I've had this phone, do you think it is anything I can fix myself? Or should I look for an exchange through warranty.
*** Also if this is any help, before finding out about the radio problem a few hours before I would notice many of my text messages failing to send until I retried to resend. Maybe it was a radio failure?

Yeah, and what happened????
Sorry, but single sentence posts aren't going to cut it, if you want any proper help.
What RUU did you run? What hboot, OS number are you currently on?
Did the RUU install properly (and issue persists), or fail (and if it failed, what error message?).
Do you actually have the exact same conditions as the OP, the AT&T version M8 and fully stock, or another version (if so, what CID)?
If you want help, you need to take the time to provide details; not just "same problem" and "tried it".

What version of Android is it?
Mine was 4.4.x ....updated to 5.0.x without me applying it.
Sent to HTC to be reflashed.
My MOBILE DATA now shows as 'off' beneath it but the button is on and working, this to me shows that even if HTC does the flashing their 5.0.x update is still a BDIFF file update and fails to be 100% working.
Enter setting and go to 'ABOUT' and give all the version numbers (kernel, android, etc) for the best way to get help with it
