ok the phone is not bricked an i know there is only one way to brick a hero blah blah blah. but i have psfmod recovery flashed to my phone and i was trying to do the firats mtd partition thing. so i did everything it said and when it came time to do adb shell,reboot recovery it wouldnt work. so after about 5 minutes i realized that the computer wasnt recognizing my phone. i guess cause of the psfmod recovery. and i had already wiped everything. so i wiped everything again and flash zenaraia rom back on. but after rebooting it just stays at the white HTC screen. waited for an hour. i tried wiping and reflashing like 20 times. and i cant mount the sdcard to put another rom on there since the computer wont recognize my phone. anybody following me? lol any suggestions?
It seems like you might need to RUU... have you tried doing that?

Haha I came here just to possibly rip on the OP when I read the title but saw you already mentioned it :/ So you put it in your thread title anyway?
As the guy said before, try running the RUU - should be able to be done in the bootloader.
OR if you can boot up into a rom (wasn't too sure judging by what I read) just get a Dropbox, throw a rom.zip on it, get the app for the phone, sync and bam. New rom.zip on your phone to try.
If neither one can be done, you need to find another phone, camera, sdmount...something so you can add files to it. Even if its just a HERCIMG.zip to update via the bootloader (look up s-off if you don't know what that's about)
Good luck
thanks for your help guys. i'll try the RUU but i dont think it will work since my computer wont recognize my phone while in bootloader. im pretty sure it's just the psfmod recovery that f'd everything up. and yeah i cant boot into a rom. im hoping that somehow my rom.zip just got messed up somehow.
ok yeah RUU didnt work. my only other option is to find a laptop or something
Try getting a live Fedora or Ubuntu linux cd (or any flavor for that matter) and booting it up.
what would that do? i went back to the psfreedom thread and i saw that adb and usb mass storage does not work with that recovery. i should have read better lol
Same thing happenned to my evo..i kept tryna flash the wrong kernel wit nym rom..all i did wuss flashed the rom without da kernel and walla...it started workin again..thnx god..idk if dis would help but it worked for me..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
ok i got it to work. i was talking to nfinitfx45 on google talk and he said to boot up in fastboot and then plug the phone into the computer and then i can run the RUU and it worked like a charm now i just gotta re root :/

yay !!! im just quoting this because this bears repeating...
1 - if recovery is not working, go into fastboot to get pc to recognize phone...
2 - if roms (recovery or whatnot) are not working, reflash to RUU to start fresh...
(and adding)
3 - once youve started fresh, then flash a working-recovery and go back to your latest [nandroid] backup...
(you always have a good backup to use, right ?) h.
I think all you had to do was flash a different recovery from terminal if you were able to boot up the reason y I didn't use that mod was the fact you can't use adb wen u flash that recovery in that post I think the op posted the link to the old recovery that allowed you to use adb good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
that was the problem. i couldnt boot to a rom cause i had erased all data and my rom.zip had got corrupted somehow. and with that recovery you couldnt do adb or usb mass storage. so i started freaking out lol. thanks again nfinite
So I'm having a similar problem. I can use ADB to reboot my phone, so I know the computer is talking to the phone but it wont get past the HTC screen. I was trying the firerat mod and made it to the reboot as well but it never came back up. If I reboot to recovery its a white screen with the android on the skate board but the only option is to clear user data and then reboot again which goes back to the HTC screen. I tried the RUU but it wont install because it says my phone doesnt have enough battery (it's been charging on and off for the better part of 24 hours now.) Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
first, can you use usb mass storage? if so the you need to put a rom on your sdcard and flash it and see if that fixed it. and if you want to RUU. then pull the battery and put it back. then hold volume up and power at the same time. then hit the button it says to to go into fastboot. you should already be in fastboot though. and then while in fastboot plug the phone into the pc and you may have to install drivers. and then you can run the RUU.
I'm not exactly sure what happened but i got it working. I ran "adb reboot-bootloader" from the menu that brought up i was able to get back to the clockwork recovery, restore my nandroid and finish the mod. all appears to have worked beautifully except that last night my battery went completely dead over night (for the first time) although i'm doubting that that has anything to do with any of this

ok i have run into this weird issue with my G1. it was working perfectly fine yesterday. i turned it off and charged it until it was fully charged like i usually do, but when i turned it on the boot loader screen flashed and the phone turned off! this happens whenever i try to turn the phone on. i cant get into recovery becuase the bootloader screen just flashes. when i try to get to the bootloader screen, it starts up fine but then looks for an image and turns off again. this started happening a few days after flashing haykuros spl if that helps. am i bricked or is there a way to fix this? thanks in advanced
edit: i am also usin the latest experimental build from cyanogen although i dont think this is the problem.
edit2: i managed to get my phone to start up, but im afarid to switch it off just incase it starts happening again so im still looking for a solution to this problem.
edit3: ok back to square one, my phone froze after fully booting up, restarted itself and now the problem is back! wow this is annoying.
it sounds like your camera button could be stuck. if you want to test this type reboot recovery into the recovery console and see if it boots into recovery or bootloader.
check and see if your camera button is stuck or partially stuck since you were able to boot it up once at least
Do you have fastboot working? if so, you can grab your nandroid backups from your SD card and flash them.
or go to cyanogens thread, download the recovery and flash the recovery using the fastboot command to install. i believe its
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
but plz confirm before you do that
EDIT: david means use adb since you cant get into recovery
adb shell reboot recovery

he said he got the phone up and running i meant if he wanted to see if it was a software problem he could type reboot recovery into the terminal emulator and see if he got the bootloader screen or the recovery screen.
also i believe the fastboot commands you posted are correct.
ok thanks for the help guys. before reading your posts a left the phone for a few wins powered it on and now mt phone has booted up and it is working. i will try your solutions still though. i am not sure if i have fast boot working. when the bootloader screen flashed i do remeber it saying fastboot so does that mean i have it running?
edit: camera button seems to be fine although i havent tried the rebbot recovery yet though lol because i need my phone an im not sure if i can get it working again.

yeah, although im using the 1.5 sdk and not the latest 1.6 does that matter?
if you have adb you will need to have the fastboot.exe (which i think is in the tools folder of the sdk) so cd to the sdk tools folder then use
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(also have the recovery.img in the tools folder for this)

i cant get into fast boot...the screen with 3 androids on skateboards flashes once really quickly and thats it :/
can anyone help me? the camera button seems to be fine and not stuck. is there another factor that could be causing this? i think i might try unrooting then going through all the steps to root it again. or flashing back to the hardspl and see what happens.
update: i managed to get the phone to boot up again so i went into terminal and typed reboot recovery and i got to the recovery screen ok, but when i pressed home + back to restart the phone the bootloader screen flashed again really quickly :/ it also seems like if i leave the phone off for a few hours it will power up fine but when it is turned off i have to wait another few hours til i can switch it back on.

this sounds like a hardware problem instead of a software problem since there is still a recovery screen, if your phone is still under warranty call your provider and see if there is anything they can do about it, and if they send you another one, just unroot the one you have
my phone isnt under warranty so looks like i will either have to put up with or buy myself a new one. thanks for the help.
If your sure your camera button isn't stuck, check your back button. If not, maybe some sweat or water got into it. some type of hardware dmg possibly. If your the do it yourself type of person, theres always this handy dandy notebook, I mean service manual

ahh yes that would make sense seeing as the bootloader screen says fastboot so it must be a problem with the back button. never thought of that. thanks for the help.
ok assuming that the back button is the problem, if i were to flash back to the hard spl would this problem go away seeing as fastobot mode only works with the 'special' spl?
New to G1 and have a problem. Bought a G1 and it came with elcaires rom I think it was.
So I downloaded UK RC7, renamed it to Update, and placed it on the root of my card.
Held the home and power button, and tried to install but I'm getting installation aborted each time. I've also tried to wipe, but that gets aborted too.
I rebooted and now its stuck on G1 screen
I hope somebody can help, had the phone an hour and I've mucked it up already.
Thanks in advance
Im also "bricked" at the loading screen, i turn it on and it gets frozen at the tmobile screen. Home+power, camera+power, Alt+L etc dont work.
Is this fixable?

If you cannot access recovery or bootloader, you have a rather expensive paperweight. If you can, then you have hope.

It is not so expensive since it be can brought for less than 100>$$
You can fix it by replacing the board with one from a working phone which is not the easiest thing to do.
hey ill take one of those paper weights... I need a new screen...
in the same boat cant get into anything hung up on splash screen
maybe our only option is jtag, ive never bricked before i always put cm 4 then go and install cm5 above that and it worked but this time it told me to go kick rocks and and and it was a customers phone so i gave him mine which is running eclair.
you guys arn't bricked. If you can turn on the phone than your perfectly fine.
You just gotta learn how to use it
G1 hanged at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
attached is the snapshot
Either your back-button hangs, or something messed up your phone completely.
But as long as you have the fastboot mode, it's not bricked. I would suggest you to clean everything, i.e.
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
and then flash recovery again, i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recover.img>
After that you can boot into recovery and restore your latest backup.
Please note: fastboot is a command you execute on your PC and you have to connect your phone with USB to your PC.
If after that procedure your phone boots again into hboot, most likely your back-button is defect.
I myself I think got a bricked G1...
I first installed many custom roms and thought that they were slowing my g1 so I wanted to get my g1 back to normal... For that I googled and was gone to the htc official website and ported the radio and rom from there but unfortunately I read it somewhere and it said that the rom is for only developers phone.
Everything first went very good... no error on clockwork recovery but when I reboot my phone, it got stuck on T-mobile G1 logo screen? I now can not even go to recovery mode or in fastboot mode? I need help...
Someone told me to use odin multi loader? but how do I use it or do it?? I need some instructions?
What should I do now? All I want to do right now is to get rid of my g1 by fixing it and selling it at once!!!
before flashing radio, spl, rom...anything...u need to check out the warnings and compatibility-MUST!!!!
there are 32B and 32A devices...both have different stuffs for themselves....which can be bricked if u dont follow the guidelines and try to act in sort of a haste to accomplish something new!!!
for those who can get to the camera+power (hboot) screen, but cant do anything else...u need to format ur sdcard...FAT32...then download dreaimg.nbh file...keep it in the root of ur sdcard...
then boot into the hboot menu, and ur phone should read the dreaimg.nbh file and prompt u to take an action(flash it)....do that and it'll get ur phone to the stock rom thingy....
then later u gotta root ur device again(telnet, great)....then install amon ra's recovery...change radio and what not and play again....
u gotta be patient...that's the only thing!!!
check this too

OK guys, Im not new to the android deal, or flashing, but im stuck here. I have a Sprint Hero, and I need to go back to stock. Problem is, the USB port is broken, and will only charge. So i cant enter ADB, and the phone wont boot past the HTC screen. Its rooted, and i still have root, and clockwork recovery. I cant seem to get any rom to flash though, it just hangs at the HTC screen, and I cant get the HBoot (version 1.47) to read anything. I tried renaming the extracted RUU from the sprint update to HERCIMG and it wont read it. So, anyone have any ideas???
Without usb or an s-off bootloader I think its impossible to go back to stock. Why do you need to?
can u get one of those USB SD card readers? (this way u can put ur SD card into ur computer USB port and transfer files onto it)
search around there is a HERCIMG from the ruu for HBOOT somewhere on here.
i looked real quick and found this, it may help.
moxlon69 said:
This isn't really the place for this, but these questions have already been covered, many many times..
Rooting instructions. I know this works on the latest official sprint, because I've done it successfully.
As far as not being able to RUU, some people have an issue running the RUU if they haven't ran HTC Sync. Try that and see if it works, and if not, follow this method.
HERCIMG-2.31.651.7.ZIP download it. it's the Sprint 2.31.651.7 executable but in signed zip format, for people who aren't running windows. Not sure who actually converted the executable to a signed zip, but props to you for helping those that can't run the regular RUU.
Rename the file to HERCIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold your Volume Down button, and while still holding it press the power button to power your phone back up into HBoot mode.
HBoot should then automatically verify the zip file, and ask you if you would like
to flash it. Press your trackball to confirm the update (downgrade in this case),
or press your send button to cancel.
Once on 651.7 you would root as normal, but you should not have to RUU back to 651.7 just to root.

Just a thought, can you download the RUU onto the phone via dropbox or something similar?
Ok. I have an s off bootloader. I can't boot to any rom as it gets stuck at the htc screen. I have tried the above mentioned hercimg file (even though you cant open it, because it says the file is invalid, and I have downloaded it a number of times, so its not a download error) and hboot wont find it even after renaming. I can move files to the sd card via my computer. I have the adapter. I need to get back to something close to stock, so that i can activate the phone. I dont want to get the thread off topic though, just need help getting back there.
Check your computer's USB drivers. If you can charge it you should be able to use USB. Or use someone else's computer. Then running the ruu from HTC website will work just fine. This sounds more like the computers end then the phone. Ymmv.
®patience is a virtue©
If you are s off just flash a recovery from h boot. What bootloader version do you have?
Edit: also theres a link to an s off RUU in the links thread I started. Also, you never said why you wanted to unroot?
il, I dont even necessarilly need to unroot. But if people would please read the first post. It would help answer some of the questions.... I CAN FLASH ANY ROM, BUT NOTHING WILL BOOT PAST THE HTC SCREEN. It also says what bootloader version i have, its version 1.47. I have clockwork customer recovery version 2.5 I believe it is. HBOOT wont find any file, period. Including a recovery. And its not a computer issue, its with the USB. Trust me.
I used this when I RUU'd recently and it worked great. jasonmaloney put this up a while ago and this gem was in the middle of the thread. It broke root and I rerooted using Regaw's method this time.
H-boot should have no problem recognizing this.
Drunk, it wont read that either. It doesnt even recognize that there is a HERCIMG on the SD card. This phone is bunk. not even a week ago, it was booting AOSP rom fine, no issues. Then I went to turn it on the other day, and wont boot past the HTC screen. Not sure what the deal is with this POS. About ready to bounce it off the concrete here.

Whoa, calm the F down. My phone isn't the broken one, it's yours. Anyway, I did read the OP, but it was real early, and I missed the 1.47. AFAIK hboot cannot fail IF you build the zip correctly. Pull out the SDcard and put this recovery zip on it, then flash from hboot. Do the device erase thing in fastboot before that. I just flashed it and it went fine. It's CWM 2.5.0.1. You will to rename it to "HERCIMG.zip". Also, were you using any other mods like FR or something? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5669105/HERCIMG2501.zip
il, I have clockwork recovery 2.5. Ill try this though here in a minute and see what happens. This phone is just ticking me off something fierce.
Il, it wont find that either. I put the zip on the root of the SD, and renamed it to HERCIMG and HBOOT still doesnt recognize that there is a HERCIMG file on the SD

just to clarify, you named it HERCIMG.zip all caps and with .zip at the end? If so, maybe your card is bad or your reader in the phone is bad? Do you have another card you can try it on?
yes sir. HERCIMG.zip And its on the card, as when i boot into recovery, I can see the file there.
Man, if you can get into recovery you can fix it. Do a full wipe and flash a stable ROM, reboot, and then walk away from the phone for about 15 minutes.
Try the instructions at http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM
See, thats what I think too, but it wont do anything but boot to the HTC screen. I have tried quiet a few roms, and get the same thing. I just left for roughly 2 hours, came back and still stuck at the HTC boot screen. Im lost brother.
OK, just a quick update. Got it fixed with the help of laei1472. The recovery was botched, that was what was not letting me flash anything. Finally got it to boot one of AOSP's earlier roms (which was the last rom it had booted, before going haywire). Then we were trying to flash RA 1.7 through terminal, but it wouldnt find flash_image. Ended up finding a file to flash it as that version of AOSP was missing the flash_image file in /system/bin. Once we got that, then I was able to flash RA 1.7, and now can flash any rom I want too. What a pain in the butt experience. But happy the phone is back up and going. Thanks again laie1472.
good to hear. glad you got it fixed

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.
thank you but...

I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Have you tried Booting Without your Sdcard? If that Didnt work, Try Copying Everything from your Sdcard to a Computer, then Delete Everything off your Sdcard! Then One by One Put'em back onto your Sdcard and see if you get Lucky?
Good Luck Bro!
Same happened to mine too.drained battery. Charged it but now only shows HTC screen not going to recovery. No SD doesn't work
guys please help ..
I'm definitely kind of a noob to all of this stuff but I think I've really messed up at this point and could use some help as I've exhausted pretty much everything I can think of. I have a Sprint HTC One. I decided to root my phone yesterday, after rooting it and installing a kernal I wasn't liking the way things were going (Just some things on the phone weren't working right so I decided to wipe it and re-do it all hoping to get better results. Spending quite a while messing around with it, running on no sleep and multitasking I effectively formatted the phone removing OS and everything, so at that point was sitting at the boot menu obviously. So I downloaded the RUU pack from here hoping to just run that and going back to factory, doing that came to realize I had 1.31.651.2 which doesn't appear to have a working RUU at the moment. I really don't have much experience with any of this or much of an idea what I'm doing aside from following the Tutorials you guys have posted. So I thought maybe I would try to flash the 1.31.651.2 ROM posted here by "Indirect" using the fastboot in CMD. Doing that (With an unlocked bootlocker and custom recovery) am getting a problem with writing the Zip with this message- FAILED (Remote: Not Allowed), which after searching I can't find much about how to resolve that. So my next thought was to try to use the all in one toolkit to sideboot the same ROM and was just getting an error when doing that.
So at this point I'm really at a loss and would really like some help from you guys who seem to know a whole lot more than I do
I don't care whether it's rooted, bone stock or anything else I just want the phone to work again and can't figure out what to do and I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid but hoping you guys can shed some light on it for me!

If your unlocked and you have a custom recovery its not a big deal bro. Its alright you can calm down . So first go download any rom like a stock rom ok? once you have one like OMJ's or even indirects take the zip and rename it to lets say stock. Then if you have adb (should be in fastboot folder) add that zip to that folder. Next boot into your recovery either through bootloader or through fastboot command. If your stuck on splash screen just hold power and volume down button until led's start flashing and the phone turns off let go for a sec and hold the power and volume down buttons again until you get into bootloader. Once your in recovery plug your phone into your computer and in twrp or even cwm recovery you should have the option adb sideload. Tap it and start that. Once thats running open cmd (command prompt) and type adb sideload stock.zip seeing as you renamed the stock rom to exactly how I spelled it, no differently. Then it should show you that it is loading in the command prompt once it is done loading it should start flashing and then your good to go. Wow i typed a lot lol.
Edit: wow totally didnt see the two posts above. OK see if what i sent you works. may wanna try reflashing your recovery in fastboot usb mode with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Thanks for the help, When I typed the command in to the CMD, I got
"Adb server is out of data. killing...
*Daemon started successfully*
error: closed
I've reflashed the recovery like you suggested and still am unable to get much to change, does it have anything to do with anytime I do anything it says it's unable to mount or is that normal?
Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions but this is only the second phone I've rooted and haven't ran into a problem like this before
Also has anyone heard anything about a 1.31.651.2 RUU?
May have found a work around, after formatting again and running through a bunch of reboots and attempts to mount the partitions and everything I think I finally got it mounted. Am flashing a ROM to the phone now so here's hoping!!! :fingers-crossed:
And I'm up and going phew. Thanks for all the help guys. If anyone runs into this problem definitely Format the device again, once you do that it should start to mount

What do you mean format it? How? From where?

From TWRK, under the wipe menu, had to Format it again (Which is what originally caused the problem to begin with ironically). I had to Format it to get the data and whatnot to mount. Once I did that I was able to flash a ROM and was back up and going

Not quite. When I loaded up TWRK and go into Wipe there's 3 buttons, the slide button for "Factory reset" there's the Advanced Reset button and the 3rd button says "Format". Format wipes literally everything except the custom recovery off the phone. Which is the mistake I made last night (Bonehead move but I was running on zero sleep lol)
