[Q] Need help with my Desire!

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I saw others posting their probles here too.
So I just had un-rooted my Desire and made it back to 2.2 from 2.3 when the phone had an available update. I downloaded the update and rebooted to install. While the phone was installing the update, I accidently removed the battery. When I try to boot the phone it's stuck on the HTC-logo. Is there any way to fix my phone?

Switch the phone off. hold power and volume down simultaneously. This should take you into the recovery menu.
use the volume down to move the cursor and pick recovery mode using the power button. you should then be able to flash a full ROM from there ... or recovery a previous nandroid backup if you have one. if you have no ROM on your SD card this menu should also allow you to mount your SD card for copying stuff onto it via USB.
Hopefully that should sort you
mind you .... did you say you "un-rooted" it ?? .... oh .....

If you said you'd just gone back to a stock 2.2 rom after unrooting then I would just run the RUU again.

hmmm. if its unrooted then i guess you might need someone more techie than me to help

Sounds like you've bricked it. If you can't access recovery holding volume down and the power button, to my knowledge, it's dead.

Boot it holding the volume up button. This should get you into so-called "recovery" where you can, among other things, restore it to defaults.
If recovery also doesn't work (which would be unusual), boot it holding volume DOWN button. This will get you into a "download" mode where you can use ODIN to flash new recovery (such as CWM recovery which is very nice and powerful), or even flash entire firmware from scratch.
Good luck, let us know how it goes ~
[edit] oh and do all that while having it connected to USB power, in case the battery is empty.

still doesnt work

Anything doesn't work , When I boot while holding HOME and volume up (recovery) appears the blue advice in the upper left corner and about 2 segs after the cellphone restart again, again and so on, When I boot with the down (download) the process on kies working good but when ends the cellphone restart again, again and so on. I'm start to think that something in the hardware is damage :crying:

looks like you messed something up there...
Anyway, if your phone is rooted, and/or you don't care about warranty you can get it in download mode (you said it works fine with kies until reset, so I suppose it means that download mode is at least accessible).
And after that use Odin to reinstall the stock rom completely.
Or, again with Odin install custom recovery, and then whatever ROM you like.
While working with odin, be sure to stick to the guides here on XDA. (for a custom recovery see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980)

If you're not entirely stock you'll have trouble using Kies.
I myself had trouble when tried to revert to stock ROM from CM.
It failed to restore NANDroid backup every time, and I also didn't succeed in flashing the stock image with Odin as well.
In the end, I succeeded with this ROM (which is modified stock TW), usin ODIN. You can try this, just read and understand the instructions in the thread before you do anything.
Ironically, after a couple of days after reverting to stock rom I was so annoyed by the speed decrease compared to CM, that I reinstalled CyanogenMod back, found TouchWiz stuff I missed via separate apps, and I'm pretty happy with it ever since.
Bottom Line: anyways, if you already on custom stuff with altered warranty, you must get custom recovery working first, then it will be simple.

[Q] -SM-T800- Bricked !HELP!

After trying to install the stock firmware in ODIN I'm stuck on the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
PLEASE HELP!

What firmware did you try to flash? You probably flashed the wrong one. Go back in download mode and flash the stock ROM from your country from sammobile. Hope this helps.

Okay. This happened to me like a week ago. First I gotta ask. Did u make a back up?
If so I can help, if not, we'll not much I can do, we'll theirs another option.
If u did make a back up, we'll first enter custom recovery. This is different since the tab S has no battery.
Here's the steps
1) turn it off. Thus is weird since no battery, but theirs a away.
2)Connect to charger and start charging
3)push Dat thing into bootloader.
4) once in bootloader, either go into custom recovery or power off. This was weird for me, I did both in this situation and both work, (not at the same time. I tried one and then tried the other)
5) either way, you should be in recovery, if you turned off then you should ever recovery and if u are their then yay!
6) lastly you should flash your back up.
If you don't have a back up then you could ask for a back up,
Don't have recovery? Then flash a recovery on that tab.
Hope this helped in any way...

[Q] One M8 Stuck on Logo...Period

I am in need of some serious help. My AT&T M8 won't boot past the HTC logo screen and won't allow me to go into recovery or the hboot screen. I believe I may have wiped the OS on it; this is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. Furthermore, when I try to power down the device by long pressing the power button, it doesn't respond at all. It just stays on the logo screen. It was so bad that I just left it plugged in overnight and I don't have a clue as to how long it took to power off because I fell asleep before it did. If there's a video tutorial out there that someone has or simply a link that can show me how to install something via backdoor on this device, that would be great!

Recount as best you can, all the steps that got the phone to this point.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
Also, need much more info in order to help:
1) bootloader unlocked?
2) custom or stock recovery
3) custom ROM?
4) what hboot number?
5) s-on or s-off
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?

Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons, and just hold vol down. Don't let go until the hboot screen appears.

Thanks already. I didn't realize I had to hold down the volume down button after it goes dark. It got me into twrp. I believe I should be good from here after I download a new rom to sideload. But to give you a run down, I was prepping the phone to sell it by wiping the data and installing the rom the guy said he wanted on it. When I was going thru the normal procedure to install the rom (wipe, flash, etc) that's when the phone started sticking on the logo screen. My assumption was that I downloaded a bad rom, so since then I've been trying to get back into twrp so I can load a new rom and finally was able to after you told me this. I'll report back if a new rom actually didn't help the situation. I only thought I wiped the OS because something similar happened with my Note when I was tinkering and that was the result.

So, it seems I'm still having the problem, even while trying to install cyanogen. Here are the answers to those questions...
1) bootloader unlocked?... YES
2) custom or stock recovery... TWRP
3) custom ROM?... It was a custom AOSP Rom
4) what hboot number?... 3.16.0.0000
5) s-on or s-off... S-OFF
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?... It was erased
Any help you can give from this point would be awesome. Thanks again!

Failure to flash ROMs can often be solved with fastboot erase cache, then install TWRP by fastboot again. Update TWRP version, if you are using an outdated one.
Also, if you try to flash any ROMs based on Sense software beyond version 1.x (huge majority of them are past 1.x at this point) you will likely experience extremely long boot times (10 minutes or more) and broken WiFi due to outdated firmware. But CM should be okay.

It was erased, or you wiped it?

Okay. Do you suggest trying an older sense rom to see if it works? The last time touched the phone was when I picked up my Note 4, so I will look for something that predates that.
As for the nandroid being erased, I can only assume it was my actions that caused it to be deleted, but I don't recall intentionally doing it.

Sure, it couldn't hurt. With your current firmware, you will need a ROM based on 1.x software. There aren't a heck of a lot of those left. But there are a few. GoldenEye is one I can personally vouch for, since I was running it for a while back in the day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705640
But I would definitely recommend just trying fastboot erase cache and re-install TWRP first. I've lost count how many times suggesting this simple fix has helped other users here on XDA, when ROMs fail to flash.

Fair enough. Just FYI, don't do a factory reset in bootloader (in the OS settings or recovery is OK). On modded phones this may cause the internal storage to become corrupted. Nandroids have sometimes been lost this way. This may or may not be what happened to you. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, there has been the occasional occurrence of internal storage being corrupted, possibly by TWRP. It may not even have been something you caused.

[Q] flashed tmo on att d850 HELP!

I just flashed a rom on my d850 and now the screen wont turn on the phone is completely unresponsive I don't know what to do I can't even get the phone to boot some one help me im sure I just bricked the phone..

First, what rom did you flash and how did you flash it?
Try this as well:
Pull the battery, press the power button for a few seconds. Put the battery back in and press the power button again. Pop the battery out a 2nd time and then put it back in. See if it turns on.
If that doesn't work, pull the battery and hook the phone up (without the battery) to a computer and again see if it turns on and shows up in device manager.
Flashing the wrong rom should only result in a non-booting situation. If you have a custom recovery installed, you should be able to still get into that. The d850 has some serious issues with successfully rebooting in general (which can be resolved by the two suggested procedures above), so I would suspect that before worrying about a brick.
Lastly, the d850 requires bumped ROMs to get by the locked bootloader. The d851 (T-Mobile version) does not have a locked bootloader, so the roms are not bumped and will of course fail to boot.
Once you get back into recovery, just wipe all partitions except for internal storage/sd card and install a correct rom.

When you say you got the phone on, what do you mean?
If it is on and showing up as a phone in Windows, why not just use the LG recovery tool and flash back to stock, then start over?
