does this count as bricked? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was running sensehero 1.4, i decided to try out wesgarner's beta WGBuild9 for him. it booted and all, there were some bugs. i replied to his thread and then restored my nandroid from before hand. it just sat at the initial boot logo, not either of the animations, the carrier one. i waited quit a while and then pulled the battery. tried a wipe and reboot, no dice. tried fastboot erasing system, data then reflash, still sits at boot logo. no i am watching the logo while waiting to see if a different rom (cyans latest stable) will boot.. any ideas? recovery and fastboot still work fine.

If you can get into bootloader, or recovery, you're not completely bricked.

u r not bricked if u can get into recovery and fastboot, just perform your nandroid restore, wipe and u should b good, u might have to pull the sd card and reboot without it

Since you have so many posts I'm surprised you would post in the wrong forum. Anyway since your coming from a hero rom you need to follow these instructions http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#How_do_I_upgrade_to_the_latest_CyanogenMod.3F and that includes doing this line "Download the Android 1.6 Recovery Image (it has "-ota-" in the filename): ". Even if you have done it before you must do it again.

What does post have to do with anything?
There were some issues with nandroid that were fixed in the new version, but you must wipe before installing the backup since the ext is also backed up.

You should have wiped and what method did you do to install the wesenger rom?

If you didn't flash the 1.6 recovery image then that's your problem. It's not the same thing as RA's or Cyan's so your not overwriting those recovery images. You must flash it first then the rom all without rebooting.

I've been getting these problems a lot lately for whatever reason. Anyways, I fixed it every time by wiping, then flashing the official HTC 1.6 OTA update zip. You'll probably have to dig a bit for it, since the links appear dead on the HTC support site. From there, you can flash a custom ROM no problem.

When you search, there IS an option to give results as either threads or individual posts. I suggest taking a couple minutes just to play around with the advanced search screen... it's surprisingly powerful, but most noobs don't use it. The little drop down Search is useless in comparison.

Not booting

Umm, i have a tiny problem
after flashing a rom (cyan 5.0.5.2), the nexus doesnt boot anymore
before this i had flashed the recovery 1.7.0.
adb devices does not see it, so i cannot reflash another recovery. fastboot sees it, but gives an error about multiple links, so it cannot flash
its stuck at the big 4-color X
i can enter the recovery, wipe/flash anything, but it still wont boot, no matter what rom i flash
pls help
thank you
Wrong forum.
i have the same problem..it wont restore my back up either just stucked at the X screen with the lock
I had the same problem with C 5.0.5.1
I flash back C 5.0.5., (wipe everything before). then the phone boot OK.
Then I flash C 5.0.5.1 and is OK now.

cyan should put a notice somewhere for everybody to see that you cannot install directly 5.0.5.2
Are you guys even flashing Gapps?
I think i noticed this coming from a wipe as well.
You must wipe, Flash CyanMod, Flash Gapps.
I originally forgot Gapps, and got stuck, and then upon flashing it booted up fine.

[Q] Stuck in Clockwork Recovery

I was trying to flash a new kernel, and so i wiped the 2 caches and now im stuck on the Clockwork Recovery Screen. I try rebooting, and all it does is just go back to the Recovery screen. Please help, i want to use my nook color again.
Do you have previously created backup on your SD card ?
If so just restore.
Unfortunatly, i didnt. I just got it a couple days ago and am brand new to all these mods.
me too
This just happened to me as well. I even had a backup image and restored, but it would still loop. I used the following zip which removes clockwork recovery (thanks to the OP that originally posted this) and it then it worked.
Give it a shot

I think this is beginning of beautiful relationship
Some additional info that may be relevant or not...
Some users have reported that after clearing the dalvik cache in CWR (as part of the process to flash a custom kernel), the screen locks up and they are unable to return to the main recovery screen.
This was resolved by 1) hook up your nook to the wall charger, 2) hold the power button which will force a reboot, 3) after your nook reboots to its normal screen, restart the kernel flash procedure from the beginning, 4) after you clear the dalvik cache, do not touch anything for at least 30 seconds
After step 4, CWR usually doesn't lock up and you should be able to navigate back to the main recovery screen to finish the kernel flash process. For some reason or another, the nook just needs a little time after clearing the dalvik cache before you can press any buttons.

I have had the same issue as the OP using ROM Manager to install 3.0.0.5 on 1.1.0 using Auto-Nooter 3.0.0. I was able to use the quoted method to break out (for the record I did so before reading this post ). However, I ran into the problem again after a full reroot and am still looking for a permanent solution to the problem.

I found a work around. Open cwr..flash recovery, exit recovery, reboot from quick boot . Once rebooted go back to cwr flash recovery, reboot into recovery, clear cache flash zip..reboot. This has worked numerous times for me.

This is assuming that CWR is on internal memory.. if you are booting CWR from SD.. you need to take out the SD card then boot up.

Reboot loop after custom ROM

Hello, I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed a recovery. I flashed a new ROM, TikTak 4.42. After flashing the rom from CWM it started and went to a constant blue screen.
I flashed a new recovery via fastboot and flashed the rom again, it started but when it got to the locale selection and restarted after 2 seconds. This would repeat over and over. I decided to do a wipe, but inadvertantly wiped my storage too.
I pushed another ROM to the device via adb and flashed that via CWM, same problem as the constant rebooting. I tried to flash a RUU from fastboot but got a "Signature Fail" error.
My phone has access to the bootloader and recovery. My storage is empty so I have no roms on my phone. In mounts and storage it always says "mount /system" and "mount /data". Could this be a problem with system?
If you have any questions please ask, I'm quite new to all this so may not have included everything necessary. If anyone can help me fix my phone totally, I could make a small donation thorugh paypal
Thanks in advance

phone stuck on att screen after cm11 installation

ok here it goes
This is the first time i touch this Vivid, a few days ago I rooted it withou issues and has TWRP installed, i also did 2 full backups at that time just in case.
This morning i tried to install a new ROM, CyanogenMod 11 - Android 4.4.2 - KitKat. Basically the steps i took were
1. boot into twrp recovery
2. Did a factory reset
3. Did a System Reset
4. Clared cache and Dalvik cache
5. install the rom
6. install PA gapps
7. booted the phone wich got stuck in the htc screen forever
8. remembered that i was s-off and didnt flash the boot.img
9. repeated steps 1 thru 8 and after that flashed boot.img using fastboot
10. rebooted the phone but it was still getting stuck on htc screen
After all this i decided it was not worth it so i went back into twrp to restore my backup, unfortunately after restoring an booting the phone i am able to go past the htc screen, get the beats audio and att splash screen but it stays there, now stuck on att screen.
I have tried also to restore my second backup with basically the same results
any ideas or suggestions on what could i do next?

Do you know if you had the original Gingerbread or had upgraded to ICS? If you were still on GB, then you should be able to run the RUU for that, if ICS there is an RUU you can install. Read all the directions carefully, most things seem easy but have pitfalls if you are not careful enough.

I dont know what i was running originally. However i am back in business!!!
I found the superguide followed it regarding the RUU and luckily i got my phone to work again.
I want to try flashing the CM11 again, i am guessing that either i am doing something wrong or maybe TWRP is not working correctly on my phone and not flashing the rom as it should.
Any known issues with TWRP and the vivid? shall i try another recovery?
Are the following steps pretty much what i should do to flash it
1. factory reset
2. system reset
3. clearing caches
4. flash boot.img (i am s-on)
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
any suggestion is welcomed

additional info:
After recovering the phone i decided to lock the bootloader and start all over again. I re-root and then, instead of installing TWRP i used CWM and obviously, got a nand backup.
O tried flashing again CM11 and got the exact same results. Stuck in the initial HTC screen forever. Tried to restore my NAND Backup and the result was also exactly the same as before, phone would get the htc screen, then the beats audio and att animations and then will stuck onthe att screen forever.
This is weird, i must be doing something wrong here...
Reading thru a few times. You did indeed flash the image? fastboot flash boot boot.img on command line. Make sure boot.img was extracted from the rom to the folder you are typing that in. You do that after flashing rom and gapps. It has to be done from bootloader not recovery.
How long are you letting it sit. Had a phone that I thought was doing that, just took a few extra minutes to boot up.
"Small mistake"
Sorry for your problem, I think there was a small mistake before installing CM11, and was what you describe in step 3 "Did a System Reset" when the installation instructions say: "Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache". I'm afraid you can only recover your VIVID through JTAG on any site that offers the service, it seems you deleted your operating system. The other option is to try [unbrick] HTC Unbricking Project By dexter93 developers forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886;
All the best. Just a recommendation, read, read and read each post and comments to take no surprises. Good luck.:fingers-crossed
I would appreciate your comments
I don't think that post is relevant. You still have access to bootloader and recovery right? Then it isn't bricked.

Yes i do have access to bootlader and recovery, i actually was able to bring back to life the phone using RUU. So the issue now is not that the phone is bricked but that anything i try to load on it fails, being CM11 or even the NAND backup that i took with this same phone just after installing recovery, nothing seems to work.
I was googling around and so another person that had similar behavior on his vivid but didn't posted if he was ever able to fix it...

CM11 kicks ass. http://69.10.54.187/nightly/holiday/ is where you might find the latest nightlies.
Seems to be the only vivid rom that has been worked on for a while.
First time I tried running a custom rom I had a similar issue to what you experience. Do you happen to be on bell? After restoring with the RUU and unlocking again, all went well.
The best guide is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 but just use it as a guide line and use this software instead.

Some people say to run the fastboot command 2x. I've been following that advice. Figured it can't do anything bad.

ok guys i am now officially an idiot.
Problem came down to be that i was using the wrong boot.img, i didnt know that the correct one is INSIDE the rom zip. I tried it once more and now i am running CM11
thanks for your suggestions and sorry for taking your time on this newb learning experience

Sorry for your problem, I think there was a small mistake before installing CM11, and was what you describe in step 3 "Did a System Reset" when the installation instructions say: "Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache". I'm afraid you can only recover your VIVID through JTAG on any site that offers the service, it seems you deleted your operating system. The other option is to try [unbrick] HTC Unbricking Project By dexter93 developers forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886;
All the best. Just a recommendation, read, read and read each post and comments to take no surprises. Good luck.:fingers-crossed
I would appreciate your comments

Please... Do not scare people like that...
AFAIK... You only need a JTAG if your phone reads qhusb_download... Or something like that...
I have erased my OS literally hundreds of times...
