So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!
Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.
Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)
Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any
if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...
Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")
intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""
Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I dont have W7 but would imagine it will be similar.
I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.
Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)
Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.
succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")
I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

After hard resetting my device I could not activesync. My pc says device unkonwn (connected device has malfunctioned). I tried to use pocket mechanic on my device to reformat my sd card and it also says "error... a device attached to the system is not functioning". On my computer under driver details - driver node strong name it said ".../baddevice/..."
I tried putting phone in bootloader mode and running KaiserRUU to install new rom device shows serial then plug to PC says USB but nothing happens RUU says no device found or whatever.
I tried to SD flash a new ROM from via bootloader...white screen flashes says No Image File Found! Then goes back bootloader screen...
I would appreciate anyone that can help or point me in the direction of where to get help with this cuz i know and have done all the basics to solve the problem I think and its just not working...
Edit: I just plugged my phone up to the computer using my girlfriends usb cord to her sidekick and wouldnt you know the pc start building a new driver for my device... so i guess even tho the original usb cord malfunctioned or something... funny tho it would still charge my phone and show USB in the bootloader screen... Back to flashing

yes but nobody told you to post it here. The first time you posted it was in Garmin's thread, which is fine because that is the rom you flashed, although, it is not rom specific. You created two additional threads and received enough information to figure it out.
If you haven't figured it out you can always try this:
1) close all windows mobile device center and active sync applications on your pc task manager
2) uninstall windows mobile device center from your pc and reboot
3) reinstall windows mobile device center to your pc
4) insert usb cable into your device
5) when windows mobile device center opens select "connect without setting your device"
6) remove usb
7) reinsert usb then select set up your device
This is how I get active sync to work when I have the issue you are experiencing.

Well that didnt work... I dont think it is my computer... this has to be something with the device its self... and if anyone knows for sure please let me know wut to do...
What can I say other then Vista Mobile Device Center Sucks Major.
Best way to see if its your device, try to sync it with another computer, borrow a friend's or try at work.
Go in to ActiveSync on your device, and Menu -> Options. Select the Windows PC and Delete. That may help too.

when you make changes to your registry and you perform a hard reset everything you altered in the registry resets back to when you flashed the new rom, "fresh out of the flash" sort of speak.

Can't get my phone into recovery at all after trying to get the new up date. Only way it comes on is by plugging it into the wall, and the only way to get it to turn off is to pull the battery. Besides the Motorola sign when it is on, that is all it does right now. I think what caused this is using safestrap instead of boot strap. Here are more details from a convo with an acquaintance. BTW, I've tried the technique for getting it to boot in recovery a 1000 times but have been unsucessful.

homescreen looks sick man. Liking the launcher too.
Been waiting on the Galaxy Nexus...going to drop my X for this.
What's up?
Thanks. Btw, I fell asleep waiting on the files to transfer to my phone. When I woke up it was bricked
I backed up EVERYTHING on the sd, I just need to figure out how to get the phone past the bootloop now. Hopefully I can get it done connected to the laptop, but any advice would be appreciated. The guys on xda were a little vaugue on the directions.
Did you clear data/cache before installing the files?
I would boot back into recovery and do this. It won't delete the files you just installed, just all the old data (system settings, etc) in your phone.
I'd try a few battery pulls first.
If that doesn't work, enter into recovery from here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...-recovery.html
And wipe data/cache, then reboot.
If I plug it into a power source, the motorola emblem comes up, but nothing else. It won't even power off. Power + X or M doesn't do a damn thing, and if I plug it into my computer it also does nothing at all. The laptop doesn't even recognize it or even try to charge it as far as I can tell.
After Power + X did you hit the volume buttons in the guide like it says?
You probably did but just wanted to make sure.
You're only other choice seems to flash a fastboot file.
These are about the easiest instructions you'll find.
I've never done on a D3, but looks right to me.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-...959-and-56890/
Don't turn on your phone to charge it, leave it off and charge it.
Unless you can tell me how to install/uninstall programs located on the internal and external memory of the phone when I can't get it to turn on (even in recovery mode), I'm fairly certain I'm screwed. I believe that my only hope originally was to be able to access the memory via laptop to be able to get it into recovery. That ROM I put on had to use this http://www.hash-of-codes.com/files/Droid3Safestrap.apk, which won't work for the factory update, which has to use this http://download.clockworkmod.com//te...3Bootstrap.apk. So even though I have all the programs that I need on the memory of the phone to get the factory update then reinstall the custom ROM, I can't get the phone on so that I can install and uninstall the programs necessary for recovery. I should never have messed with my phone when I was half asleep to begin with.

Well, I got it unbricked, but it was a real trick to get it done. Like I mentioned before, I suspected an issue with battery power, because when it was plugged in for charging, the screen stayed on with the motorola logo displayed. As everyone knows, this uses a lot of power. Even being plugged in to the wall (phone WOULD NOT turn off), it was using most of the power that was supposed to be charging the battery. This is what I did to bypass the problem.
1. Let charge all night
2. Hit X + power (M + power WOULD NOT work) simultanously,then slowly inserted phone end of USB cord that was already plugged into the wall
3. After the Motorola logo displayed on the screen, I closed the keyboard and waited for the Andoid avatar to be displayed. Once he popped up, I hit the volume button up and down at the same time, which FINALLY got it into recovery.
4. Factory reset by toggleing to that option and hitting power button.
5. Once factory reset was complete, I selected the ZIPPED leak update and hit the power button.
6. After update completed, system reboot. Phone kept its root status and the DarkDroid ROM
Btw, does this info look right (asking anyone who knows). Phone is supposed to be updated with Verizon update, rooted, and running DarkDroid ROM

hi guys, I need your help, I have a lg optimus black, and installed the 2.3.4 version of the android official v20n, and did not like because I still had no way to root, so I wanted to return to the android 2.2, before returning did a factory reset, so that when the phone restarted he only stayed on the screen of lg, i removed the battery and put back, the phone rang often, but now, all life that I hang up and call him again he is on the screen of LG, then I have to remove the battery, wait a while, and there again put the phone connects normally, but I'm worried, because all this started after I did a factory reset, help me please.
Thanks in advance.
Now my phone does not pass the screen of lg or removing the battery, help me!
Well, it is very important to factory reset after you downgrade. Use search, everybody recommends it.

So do you get to the screens where it says software Update or so? If you get there, I would try to do the trick at another PC, since it doesnt seems to work on all operating systems. Mine e.g. with win XP wouldnt wanna do it once, but with Win 7 64 bit I was able to do it.
Can you give us a screen, where we can see ur screen when connected to USB while holding Vol UP button?
And not only HIT the vol UP button, but hold it, until the software update screen comes up. Otherwise it wont get there
Man is and my windows 7 64 bit, I've tried all processes.
Lg Software update
v10b my lg optimus black came with version 10b, this did not work.
KDZ
v10a
v10b
v20n
Also failed.

Nor did it.
I do not know what else to do anything more than right.
Anybody from your country here? Who can try to fix it for u? If not, you can also send it to me, just write a message... or give it back to lg support center

Hi davifs, the smartfash tool should have solved your problem.
Today I made the V20N to V10 even with factory reset it boot looped.
With SmartFlash problem solved.
Give us more info.
Hello, recently i've flashed my galaxy ace with rom manager (ClockworkMod) so i can make the partition thing to my sd card, so i flashed it, turn it off, and then i won't turn on. I can't even charge my phone! I tried to turn it on in reboot mode but it doesn't do anything. I even tried to turn on download mode and nothing. Not even the samsung logo shows up. Nothing! I'm desesperated, I don't know what to do now. I'm new in this forum, so I will be very very thankful if someone could help me on this. Please.
First, ROM MANAGER BRICKS SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE!
Second, YOUR PHONE IS DEAD. TRY A USB JIG OR GOTO SERVICE CENTER.
Third, WHO TOLD YOU TO USE ROM MANAGER?
Fourth, LIE TO SERVICE CENTER TELLING THAT YOU WERE CHARGING YOUR PHONE AND IT TURNED OFF AND IT NEVER TURNED ON. DO NOT MENTION WORDS LIKE "BRICK","ROOT","ROM MANAGER".
Fifth, Welcome to the world of XDA Developers. DO read the threads with a pin icon in front (A.K.A Sticky)

I never understand, that people who buys a new device, why don't read something about it??? Before I buy my Ace, I read a lot about it, I knew, that it's prohibited to use Rom Manager on Ace... There's a lot of info about it...
Another lost to the dark side of rom manager. Rip the poor thing.
Firstly..CWM ROM Manager?
and ROM manger for partition? all you needed was the CWM Recovery.
We have stickies here for a reason and if you dont read them, do not create new threads when you have problems..
a time try to flash my phone with new firmware, and my phone can't turn on, becouse one input of firmware wrong, and then i try to leave baterry and then, try to go download mode again and flash with new firmware, wait flashing finish and my phone can turn on again.

Let's give a try, but I think it won't work. Rom Manager hard bricks Ace, and even download mode won't work. Bring it to service center...

Hello, recently i've flashed my galaxy ace with rom manager (ClockworkMod) so i can make the partition thing to my sd card, so i flashed it, turn it off, and then i won't turn on. I can't even charge my phone! I tried to turn it on in reboot mode but it doesn't do anything. I even tried to turn on download mode and nothing. Not even the samsung logo shows up. Nothing! I'm desesperated, I don't know what to do now. I'm new in this forum, so I will be very very thankful if someone could help me on this. Please.

You can use usb jig to force boot into download mode but there's a small chance for it to work
Google usb jig

Have you ever heard something like "don't do something unless you know what you are doing", well this is very useful. There's a reason that none on ace developement doesn't use or recomends ROM manager. Brick.

Fourth, LIE TO SERVICE CENTER TELLING THAT YOU WERE CHARGING YOUR PHONE AND IT TURNED OFF AND IT NEVER TURNED ON.

This actually happened to my phone. Is it a known fault? Is there a way to repair it without taking it to a service centre 30 miles away?
Your device wont turn on?
I wonder why?
Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that you have broken your device into pieces. Not literally but oh well u get the point.

If you're responding to me, I don't get your point. I haven't broken it into pieces, literally or otherwise. I haven't modified the OS in any way since I got it. I plugged it in to charge. It is meant to be able to charge.
You're ace is brick go to repair centre if you have the warranty just say you don't know how this happen, or buy a new phone...

He isnt replying to you!
i face that problem too, after i search the entire thread in this forum then i found this method. try this, maybe it can help :
- pull out your battery
- press the vol down+home+power n in the same time then pull in your battery (if you can't do it alone, ask somebody to help you pull in the battery)
- wait (n pray maybe ) until download mode appear
hope it can help you..:fingers-crossed:
happened the same
i tried flashing stock rom froyo 2.2.1 from odin it cme up as pass but when i dsiconetted nothing happened my phone is ****ed help me anyone it wont even show the samsung logo what do u advise me to do i live in india should i go o the service center or what
Come on everyone!!
Rather than making snide comments, we SHOULD be helping him.
Here, check this out it helped my friend when he bricked his SGA.
Un-Bricking SGA
And remember, from now on use CWM Recovery, or if you want then use ODIN,
BUT NEVER, EVER USE ROM MANAGER. IT'S THE SHINIGAMI FOR OUR PHONE!!!
Another victim of ROM Manager. RIP.

hi, after installing busybox from google play and pressed install , my phone suddenly turned off. after that i couldnt turn it back on. im stuck at boot screen. i tried recovery mode and i tried the download mode, but nothing. i did factory reset and nothing. currently im trying to find a way to restore but my pc doesnt "see" the device if it cant boot. is there any way to do something to fix it ? any way. it was rooted. now after the factory reset which didnt do anything i suppose its not rooted anymore. its on jelly bean 4.1.2 . or at least it was when it could boot....

You can get into download mode right? Flash stock rom again through a kdz flashing method. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 and the stock firmware here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15

That used to happen with me too a lot of times... Try more than once and after the s/w upgrade screen shows up leave it pressed more about 5-10 seconds. It only worked for me that way otherwise it would geta weird screen like yours and wouldnt get into download mode.. .try it

Try to run in compatibility mode with xp ... Got windows enabler on ?
i think the guide there at step 7 is a bit wrong. how can you disable the phone and flash the rom ? if the pc cant "see" the machine connected , is it even possible ? ...
it didnt work. when i installed the usb drivers the windows couldnt recognise the phone. i switched the driver from mobile to portable something. i had only 2 available choices at the manage section if i didnt check to show compatible only machines. after switching to that driver... ( curse windows and their bugs ) , automatically switched back to mobile.... and my phone was connected to my pc....after that i continued with the flash rom and now its back working. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im new to android. i has iphone since years.

Well man, it worked for me the way the guide is, with some workarounds due to win7 incompatibilities.
If I helped you dont forget to hit thanks button ahah
I know the feeling, I had an ipod touch which I tweaked a lot, but since I had my first android... Can't even imagine going back to IOS
