Pull the battery out and try to turn it back on
Its not even close to bricked.. DONT flash a radio, that will brick your phone if you dont use the right ones.

Alright i did this and its back at the HTC screen, so what is the normal waiting time and what if it doesnt not go through this screen?

Trust me you'll know you bricked your phone when it wont come on whatsoever. You just did something wrong like forgot to wipe or the least likely got a bad download. Reboot to recovery wipe everything then reflash the zip.

stuck and android loop, when everything should be normal

well i have had cyogenmod 3.6.8.1 for awhile and everything works perfectly and smoothly but i just turned off my phone to switch to my new 2400mah battery and when i turned it back on i got past the splash screen but now its stuck at the android boot loop so i thought wait acouple minutes...and well.. no luck. i dont get it...any ideas?
try fixing the ext file system. It could have been messed up if you just took the battery out. If that doesnt work, try wiping and reflashing the ROM. Btw, does it work with the normal battery in?
wipe
if you can get into recovery then u know everything is fine. if u can get the update file for the rom on ur sd then wipe and flash it see wht happens then
Usually these problems can be taken care of with a wipe and a reflash of the ROM. Hopefully you performed a nandroid backup and can restore your settings. If not, there is really no other way but to wipe and reflash and lose your data.

well i shut the phone down properly but i tried what you said anyways... and on the first try it had an error and told me to run it manually..but i tried again and it worked so i rebooted but still no luck. i did a nandroid backup recently...could that possibly have anything to do with it?
and also...when i did the nandroid awhile ago...it got stuck at the boot loop as well...so i did the wipe/update and it worked. and now i turned off my phone for the battery change and this happens....it seems like maybe its something with the rom? idk...i dont see why a nandroid would mess anything up
i suggest to wipe and reflash. That should fix it.

Set up ADB using the guide in the sticky, and connect your phone through USB
type
Code:
adb logcat
as you boot your phone
see if anything is repeating. if nothing ever shows up, its possible that the battery could be defective

HELP! Screen Goes Blank After the Boot Screen

I have tried and it worked when I used the nandroid backup, but when I do a factory reset/data wipe it loads past the G1 boot, then my second splash screen loads, after a few minutes it freezes then the screen goes blank. I have to remove the battery to turn it off. I am trying to sell it to upgrade my phone, but nobody is gonna buy it when it won't come on, lol. I have tried flashing the ROM again, I have tried formatting the SD card, and still get nothing
EDI: Nevermind, got it fixed
how did you fix it? My G1 does this all the time and its annoying.
I have the same broblem LG GT540 updated to 2.1android blank screen on bootup, help pls, Have contacted LG and they said it sounds like a bad flash, and to do it again if it will not then do a factory reset and reflash, noe that dont work just says "I have the latest version no need to update"Hmmmm what to do
whatd u do to fix it?

[Q] G1 Stuck on boot

First I have searched and searched and can't find anything similar to my problem.
G1
CM 5.0.8
RA 1.7
DangerSPL
I had cm5 running on my phone just fine for the last month or so and today my battery was about to die so I shut my phone off and when I went to turn it back on it sticks on the G1 boot screen. I can boot into recovery and fastboot but it will not but past the first boot screen. Is this something I did? Is there a way to fix it without starting scratch?
Did you backup your ROM? If yes, try restoring it.
I just re-flashed the ROM and it works fine. But I did a wipe and my screen saver is the same and google apps is still installed? Is that supposed to be like that after a wipe?
When you re-flashed your ROM and you did not do a full wipe of your data everything stay.
I did do a full wipe, catch, and everything and just flashed CM5 not the G-apps flash and I still have it along with the wallpaper being the same don't really know if this is relevant to the ROM but as far as I know when you wipe it puts the phone back to factory besides the recovery, radio, and SPL. Google apps can't be a part of the ROM either so I'm actually confused.
Oh and I re-partitioned my SD as well before the wipe so I pretty much started fresh but in all reality I didn't?
sometimes google backs everything up so when you re-flash to anything with same firmware as your last rom, and once you sign into google it will automatically install apps you previosly had and restore some settings such as Backgrounds and stuff... since you flashed the same exact rom, im assuming once you signed into google it just had your previous settings saved and restored it like a good friend would
HAHA made me chuckle! Thanks for the help guys! Glad to know google is my good friend! Still confused on why it just crashed like that :/ but as long as it's fixed is all that counts and not bricked
Hmmm.. When I did a full wipe of mine and flashed a new android version, I had to re-install all again!!!! and some of my data was also lost

Sorry for bad news, but I suppose you created a brick, i.e. there is no chance to re-animate your phone except with JTAG ...
can he still flash an nbh file? maybe try the orange nbh to re-flash via fastboot? or will it not let him do that because he has wrong/stock software installed?
Yep. No fastboot after Power+Cam. Sounded like a bad news brick indeed.

Keeps restarting for no reason - rooted

I rebooted my phone to install a font and now it continues to turn on (HTC logo) and then restart. Tried to get into recovery and it just exits...
I had my phone off at night and turned it on - read a few text messages - and went to replace the ****ty font I installed yesterday.
Just looping.
Any help?
Can't even turn it off lol - I would need to go into bootloader and click power down. It is odd - I didn't do anything and it started up perfectly before 5 minutes I did the fonts.
flash the boot and/or recovery?

I flashed the recovery with CWM and installed Android Revolution HD 6.1
I was just wondering if it was safe to re-flash the recovery again to see if it would work. I don't want to screw up this phone lol.
EDIT: Got it. Reflashed the recovery and had to reflash the ROM.
I don't know why a simple font change would screw ALL of that up. I don't want to keep flashing this ROM lol it has been about 4 times now.

You need to reflash what ever was on it. Hopefully you made a backup if not and were on stock find the correct nandroid back or RUU for your phone and flash that. You can also try doing a factory reset that may bring it back.
agreed...try to re-flash everything to stock than go from there to find what is causing the problem.

[q] possibly bricked htc one any hope??

HELLO EVERYONE, I RECENTLY PUT A ROM ON MY HTC ONE AND EVERYTHING I THOUGHT WAS OK (IT RAN FLAWLESS) UNTIL MY BATTERY WENT DEAD SO WHEN I PLUGGED IT UP TO MY CHARGER TO TURN IT ON, IT TAKES ME THROUGH A CONSTANT SERIES OF BOOT LOOPING. I CAN GET TO THE BOOT LOOPING WHICH STOPS THE BOOT LOOPING HOWEVER I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY; I CAN SEE THE CWM RECOVERY MENU FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN CUTS OFF AND START THE BOOT LOOPING PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. IM STICK BECAUSE I CANT GET MY PC TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE, NOR ACCESS RECOVERY via. CWM SO WHAT DO I DO? MY PHONE WASN'T IN DEBUGGING MODE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED SO IM OUT OF OPTIONS. IT APPEARS I REALLY MESSED UP HERE, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO OR AM I JUST STUCK WITH A DUD? IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE THANKS IN ADVANCE
TAKE YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE CAPS LOCK KEY.
You'll get a lot more help if it doesn't look like you're yelling at everyone.
So you can get to bootloader, but not recovery?
Have you tried refreshing the recovery?

Dont worry, from the looks of it you should be able to go into bootloader, go into the 'Fastboot' plug your phone in, open up Hasson2000 All in one toolkit and from one of the options there is a little option to wipe the cache in his app. wipe the cache then reflash your selected recovery after that, boot into recovery using the option in his kit. or if the phone is honestly crazy messed up, relock and unlock the bootloader so that you have a clean ver sion but you must make sure you are on the STOCK ROM. Please his thanks if it worked
my apologies for the caps lock
