I tried to install a new rom but something happened during installation and now all i can see in my screen is black and "serial".It doesn't even let me do a hard reset.Can anyone help me plz?
go bootloader & flash.
Thanks but.....
What do you mean?Can you plz explain me how to do it? Thanks for the Help
you dont mention what device you got but
typicaly when stuck in bootloader you need to connect it to the pc
with usb and it should be ready to get a new rom flashed into it
you can get more info and maybe a link to a rom for your device
if you click on the XDA-wiki and find your device and read it's wiki
your short info, my short answer.
So i was trying to root my phone and now i won't start, can't even go to bootloader menu or so. when i'm pressing the power up button its just flashes and then shuts down. It loops so frequently that even my pc won't recognize it. What i did to the phone is this:
//androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/502772-guide-how-update-htc-wildfire-s-marvel-a510e-gsm-software-version-2-3-5-a.html
i tried to flash a new 2.3.5 to it but now it wont do anything.
Is there any ways to fix this or should i just send this to graveyard :good:
a bit more info plz

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help
Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?
Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.
As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue

At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.
when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.
I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?
It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.
Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.

Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.
Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.
Sorry Dude, I can't help much either I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you
2. There is a possibility that you could "brick" or bootloop your phone. There are two types of brick: soft (recoverable) and hard (non-recoverable). With a soft brick, the phone will not boot or keeps rebooting ("bootloop"), but it can be started in bootloader mode which allows repair of the ROM. With a hard brick, the phone won't even boot into bootloader after holding the power button for 10 seconds and the phone must be returned to HTC for service.

Have you unlocked your Boot-Loader from HTC Dev? Also, you need to install a recovery tool in order to boot into recovery. If you have done only the steps mentioned in the
PROCEDURE 1

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.

I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless . now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.
Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.
Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.
In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.
After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.
Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:
So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you
Hello everyone!
I opened this thread because my current situation seems different from ones I found on this forum, but if you think otherwise please direct me to links that I might need. Before I start with explaining please have in mind that I am quite newbie to anything regarding Android platform and consequently my actions might not have been the smartest ones there. So let me start: I think i hard bricked my Xperia S. I had my Xperia running ROM 1252-0023_6.2.B.1.96_GENERIC-user that i found on this forum. It was a temporary solution, I wanted to put a stock ROM and was about to flash another stock ROM before that. While flashing with flashtool an error occurred (unfortunately I didn't save log file) that had to do something with system.sin . Anyways, my phone is atm unable to turn on, I do not have recovery and I can't even connect it to flashtool (flashtool does not recognize my phone, pressing volume down and connecting to PC doesn't do anything). Only response that I get from my phone is from holding volume up and power button at the same time (it vibrates once, then 3 times).
LONG STORY SHORT: does anyone have any suggestion what can I do with phone that probably has no recovery, can't be turned on and flashtool seems not to recognize it? Thx in advance, I will provide more info on my phone if needed.

Hey All,
I have searched the forum for this but i dont seem to get the same issue. And i dont want to make things worse, so i post it here. Hope you guys and galls are able to help.
So what happend. I wanted to flash back my G3 d855 16Gb Eur model.
Something allong the way went wrong, and i dont know what. All i know is that when i came back my phone was turned of. And my pc gave a failed message.
Now i cannot get in to download mode anymore. It gives me the LG boot logo and that is it.
When i want to enter download mode i get the download mode logo, with in the top left corner a verification error.
It goes quite fast so i cannot get the exact message. Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix. Ore is it indeed really dead?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
if you can't enter the download-mode, your mobile is dead. You may flashed a wrong firmware and the bootloader was overwritten with a wrong device.
Can you enter into Recovery?
Kind regards
Trafalgar Square
Nope, the phone reacts when i connect it to the pc. I get the android bootlogo. And when i power up with volume -, the i get the factory reset options but it dont work.

Can you reboot your phone into recovery mode (If it is already rooted and custom recovery installed).
I also faced a problem like that. In my problem when i reboot into download mode it took me to fastboot mode with 4 to 5 commands on left upper edge. If you can boot into that "fastboot" mode then tell me so i can help you better.
If you can't see anything like above then tell me that too i will try best to help you get out of this problem>>
No I don't get those options.
I get some kind of miss match error
exact error is:
boot verification failed
cause mismatch_sig_len
Hey All,
Just want to let you know, that i have been struggeling with my phone for two weeks. Offcourse not 24/7. But it is back alive. I managed to do the wiretrick and i was able to load up the Qualcom 9008 driver. After a long struggle i even managed to get the phone reconized by board diag. From that on it was easy to flash back all partitions. And download/firmware update mode was back. After this all i was able to flash the KDZ file.
I then lost my IMEI, but i backed up my EFS and all other importend files in the beginning. After rooting and flasing my EFS all was back to normal.
So ... i quess the d855 is indeed unbrickable
