Hi everyone, i need help with my gfriend phone. I flashed the phone with a prorated firmware using ODIN, and everything worked well, but after few days, the phone won't be able to startup again. When pressing the power button, it starts vibrating just as usual but the phone won't boot completely.
I just installed Link2sd, conceed root permission and made the second partition to my SD Card (ext2). Can this be the issue?
The phone can be boot to download mode

So after an unsuccessful ROM flash my phone was stuck at bootloader for quite sometime...i had a micro SD card reader and inserted it into multiple computers running XP, vista and ubuntu...they all registered that i had plugged something in but wouldn't show it as a disk drive...now i've already figured out how to access it but i put a new ROM image on it and tried to reflash but after the flash when my phone booted up it simply switched itself off... when i switched it back on it went back to the bootloader and tried to reflash the ROM. mid flash it just switches itself off... I realize that this is probably due to the charge level of the phone so i plugged it it but it will be off and charging then it will suddenly decide its got enough battery power and boot up to the bootloader screen until it dies again...how do i stop this vicious loop

Something worth trying:
1.You could take out the battery for one minute or longer.
2.Now put the ROM's .nbh on your SD card [Make sure it is named "RHODIMG.nbh" (no quotes)].
3.Put the SD card and battery in and press/hold Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time.
4.That'll put you in Bootloader Mode, and it should ask you if you want to update your phone's image (something like that).
5.Follow the prompts and it should start flashing (you'll see the bar).
6.Soft reset after the flash says it's complete.
I once went through that and this is what I did. I was able to unbrick my phone.
However, (back in September/October) there was another instance of the same thing happening to someone, but he never got it fixed; he did get the stock ROM and SPL back on it, but had to return it to HTC because it still kept cycling into Bootloader.
Good luck!
Hi
Today I tried to install Android Cm7 on it from following procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566955
I copied RHODIMG.nbh and CM7***.zip file on the root of the SD and restarted with volume down key which installed successfully but now Im having a black screen after every restart.
Currently the device starts with HTC screen but then goes black. I can also get into boot loader mode by restarting with volume key down but now it does not detect any RHODIMG.nbh file even if its in root of the SD card. Now I cant even install back Energy rom.
Before energy rom, I did installed Hard SPL successfully and its still there too.
Please help
OKay, so I have tried everything I could and I think the boot loader is corrupted?
I tried to load different RHODIMG.NBH files from the root of the SD card, Energy, Deepshining and then Stock ROM too but for all the boot loader says 'No Image File'
Can anybody please guide me here??
Try using the USB installer. So long as you can get to the bootloader screen, you can flash via USB or SD. If SD isn't working, try USB.

Yes, I just did it, I installed WMDC as I was on Win7, when I went in bootloader and connected the phone via USB it was detected as HTC USB Hub, then I Flashed the Energy ROM and its working fine now.
Strange dont know why it was not detected the .nbh file in the sd card..!!
Though for a moment I thought I bricked my mobile but I still want to take another chance to install Android in it
Glad to hear you're back up and running.

Hi guys,
After trying to root my phone by using the rollback to 2.1 method (mt3srooter and superoneclick), my phone is stuck.
To elaborate, my phone is rolled back to 2.1 but I cannot for the life of me get it back to the 2.2.1 stock rom. I tried to do a factory reset and soft reset it but it either
1. Starts up showing an exclamation point inside of a triangle in front of a phone, after pressing power and the volume up button, I clear the cache, factory reset it and initiate system reboot which is when the phone does start up but vibrates 5 times while lighting up the notification light.
or 2. Boots regularly to 2.1 but is unstable and shuts off occasionally vibrating 5 times again
During the rooting process in mt3srooter I didn't turn on the wi-fi (due to the fact that I did not transfer the zip files beforehand and panicked) as instructed which I think caused the problem.
I already flashed esprimg but it's the same.
Also, my phone does not recognize that there is an SD card inside (I used two different microSD cards with no avail and formatted them). It does not register on my computer as a device it's just labled as "Unkown device" and the driver software fails to install.
Is there any way to get my phone back to the way it was?
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: The phone has no warranty, I bought it from a 3rd party unlocked.

humm so the esprimg didnt work through the hboot and did you try to root again
Ok so first, let me say I know I done goofed. What happened was my phone (Note 2 GT-N7100) started to choke up a lot, battery life was ridiculously low and then suddenly my phone's language was constantly being switched to Italian.
I thought it might be a virus but a scan couldn't find anything. I deleted almost all apps in hopes it would stop but the phone went on with these weird glitches. In an act of desperation, I decided to wipe out everything and go back to factory settings.
Thing is my phone is rooted and I had the X Note Rom installed. When I tried the factory reset on TWRP, it still went back to the X Note Rom. That's when I dun goofed. I deleted EVERY ****ING THING in a desperate and stupid move.
Now when I press Volume Up + Home + Power I can get to Recovery Mode but I ain't got **** to install. If I press Volume Down + Home + Power I get into Odin mode but get a "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" message that just hangs there forever.
To top it off, my computer won't recognize the damn phone anymore. Am I ****ed? Can I get myself out of this mess?! Please HELP!!!
Take it easy, download a custom rom, transfer it to the SD card, enter recovery and Flash it.
Since you can't connect the phone via USB, you need a SD card reader (if you have a laptop you 100% have it)
OR
You could flash the stock ROM through Odin, but it's more risky in my opinion. I would go with the 1st method

thanks... i'll try that when i get home (my SD card is there).
Hi I managed to to get to SDCARD Download mode from a dead boot N7105 using the SD Boot Repair SD. Odin recognizes this and phone was previously on 4.3 JellyBean already. Now when I'm trying to flash with Odin 3.09 , it says "There is no PIT partition" . Should I click the Phone Bootloader Update checkbox also? Need some advice from all the gurus here to guide me along this, thank you very much
Hi guys,
I have a very similar scenario but with an Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300:
Couple of days ago my phone went into booting loop but after removing the battery for a couple of minutes the issue was solved.
Then 3 days later it restart out of the sudden and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III splash screen.
I rebooted and tried putting the phone in Download mode. The phone went into the Samsung Galaxy S III screen twice and turn off not to boot again. Seems like a hard bricked, no response with any buttons combinations.
I read other posts here saying that I could probably boot the phone with an micro sd card. So I donwloaded image I9300UBUGML1_I9300UWHUGMK1_I9300UBUGMK1_HOME from SamMobile and mouted in a 16 Gb type 10 micro SD (my phone is also 16 Gb version)
At first I tried booting the phone pressing the power button for about 10 seconds and the screen ligthted up very quickly (less than a second) saying
SDCARD MODE
UP KEY: NORMAL BOOTING
DOWN KEY: DOWNLOAD MODE
But it was so quick that I was not able to press anything.
A day later I figure out that if I was quick enough I could press down key and put the phone on Download mode (SDCARD)
After putting the phone on Download mode I connected the phone to the PC and tried flashing it with ODIN v3.07
Odin is able to see the device but when trying to flash the phone (selecting PDA and the image mention before) a message came up saying:
There is no PIT partition
And failed.
Reading about this error in this forum, I have tried using different PIT files to re-partion the phone but no success so far.
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
mx.pit
Odin stays on Get PIT for mapping after initializing the process.
I would like to know if anyone here have an idea on what else to try (before talking about JTAG reparing the phone as I am not 100% the phone is hard bricked)
I have not attempted to use a USB Jig yet, should I?
Other details:
I am not able to get the download with any other image file in the sd card.
If the phone is on download mode and connected to the PC, the battery can be removed and the phone stays on.
If I press up key in the SD CARD Mode the phone freezes.
Do you guys have any ideas here?
Thanks,
