[Q] My phone won't turn on - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As some of you know I've been having major issues with my phone. I finally got them sorted out by wiping my phone and restoring a previous nandroid. I decided to update my Recovery Mod while I was at it. The update was successful, so I tried to reboot into recovery mode. When the phone turned back on it got stuck on the HTC screen for an unusually long time, so I figured it was frozen and did what I've always done... removed the battery. Now my phone won't turn on.

Sorry, I meant to post this in the other forum.

Am I Bricked?

Question.
I was on 4.0.4 and the phone started freezing on me. Just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. To reset I have to pull the battery. Now this had happened about once a day for the last week, but today I had to pull about 12 times. Now 4.0.4 was working well until I tried to go to 4.1.99. That was too laggy and buggy so I restored my nandroid backup. So for the past week I was living with the occasional battery pull.
Tonight, I tried to go to 4.1.9999, and now it freezes on me during the initial sign in process, "SIGNED IN! SLIDE KEYBOARD BACK TO CONTINUE". It does not get past this screen.
I'll do a Nandroid restore to get operational, but that level of operability was pretty weak.
I have AmonRa's recovery, but I only did one wipe prior to the two flashes.
ADDITIONALLY, I try to get to the recovery boot screen now after I pull the battery and the phone wont let me. Still goes right onto the Welcome to TMO G1 Android screen, where it proceeds to lock where I mentioned previously.
Any ideas?
****. I get an ERROR PERFORMING RESTORE! TRY RUNNING 'NANDROID-MOBILE.SH RESTORE' FROM CONSOLE!
The **** has hit the fan!
As of this moment, I can't do a Nandroid restore, and I can't get past the above mentioned slide keyboard back to continue screen. How bad is it?
No. You're not bricked.
When you say you came from 4.04, did you put the htc image and the cyanogen rom on? or did you just try to upgrade?
HTC image first, then the ROM. I wiped first, but only one wipe.
As of right now, I have a phone that won't load beyond that screen. Nandroid wont let me restore.
Help, please?
wipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did. No help.
Wipe, reboot and this is what happens:
HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!!!
thanks guys... lets see its functional at least now.
It says its running 4.1.9999... what do I have to do now?
Your done as long as it's working good.
It's not. I have the same problems. Phone freezes at completely random moments. Same ****.
Phone worked well for a short time, then performance degraded again. Now its back to the same. Freezes almost instantaneously after a reboot.
go to recovery
(go to console)
fix_permissions
when done
type
reboot
wait for pause..
and it will reboot!
that booted me into a blank black screen after the ANDROID boot screen. Frozen again.

Hero reboot loop

I rooted my Cellular South Hero and installed Fresh Hero 2.3.3. Everything was working great for a couple weeks when all of a sudden after ending a call, it started rebooting continuously. I get the HTC logo and the phone vibrates, then a few seconds later, the screen goes dark and it starts over. The bad thing is, it does the same thing in recovery mode. Recovery will start to boot, but then it reboots. The only mode that will not reboot is the one where you hold VOL UP (not sure what it's called). I tried clearing user data by holding Home and Back, but this didn't help. At first, when going into recovery, it said the MISC partition was full. That went away after I cleared the user data. Not sure if it's relevant, but I thought I'd mention it. Please help!
sorry about the double post. can this be deleted?

HELP! Constant Re-Boot!

Need a little help here...out of the blue today my phone started continuously re-booting itself. Only gets to the HTC screen and then re-boots. I have done multiple battery pulls with no results. I cannot boot into recovery either, tried that many times as well. My only option is a screen that I have not seen before that asks if I want to clear all data and then reset the device. Anyone have an ideas? Running Fresh 2.3.3, had no previous problems.
I had the same thing happen today. I had just flashed Fresh 2.3.3 to try to fix the GPS issue in the CM6 830 nightly, and my phone started rebooting every minute or so. I pulled the battery and immediately booted into recovery by holding down <home> and <end call>. I was able to get to recovery, where I flashed a different ROM I had on my SD card. I hope this helps.

Everything reloops....

I was busy trying to install a mod which didn't go very well. Shouldn't be a big problem, just go back to the recovery and put back the backup.... But there things went wrong....
I reïnstalled the rom, but after that I ended up in a bootloop, but what's even worse is that the recovery also reboots the whole time. For a split second I see the recovery screen but then it reboots again.
So now I can't even get into the recovery. I can get into the bootloader and fastboot, so the solution to this problem but be there somewhere.....
The Factory reset options also doesn't work, because therefore it has to go into the recovery, which reboots... So until now I'm in a sort of never ending circel. Who can help me out of this?
edit:
Found the official RUU here on XDA, so I rebooted the phone into fastboot, and started the RUU update. It's installing now.... fingers crossed...
(doing this update, because maybe in the future it might be helpfull to others).
edit2:
Hmmm getting an error that the phone can't be updated...
edit3:
I had to shut down the phone and reboot, according to the problem solver of the RUU updater... Did that, but the phone rebooted again, after that it tried to enter the recovery again, but this time it actually did. So no recovery reboot. At this moment I'm trying to reinstall by previous made backup.
edit4:
REstoring the backup gave me 1 little error, so I also ran the rom installer again. The phone seems to reboot in a normal way now. Android is booting up again.

910t won't boot

Hello everyone. I have encountered something I don't understand. My note suddenly turned off and wouldn't restart. I thought maybe my battery was low so I plugged it in and it started. I decided to get a new battery and charged it up same thing was going on sometimes it would restart and be fine I was running stock rooted rom twrp recovery never dropped it never messed with it. Then since i was having trouble I took it to a cell repair shop. I could boot to download and twrp but when i tried to back up the rom it would get to about 2 percent and shutdown. The only way the phone stayed on is if i am in download or twrp but i couldn't do anything repair shop couldn't help either. I was desperately trying to save some data off the phone when i gave up I said ok i will reflash it all goes well in odin it reboots then says applying update but never gets past the boot farthest i have got is the tmobile screen. then it shuts down and keeps vibration and trying to restart only to shut down and do it all over again. so I am now stuck in a boot loop it seems not sure if that is accurate. I have no idea how to fix this any ideas anyone i have reflashed the latest rom twice and everything should be fine but it isnt. I am wondering what to do next I tried to flash twrp but it didnt take and also tried cf oneclick root didnt take either but odin says success and pass. I am at the end of my idea list and out of google searches no idea what to try next. So I have come to the one place i may find some help XDA. Thanks in advance
your phone partition got messed up you have to put TWRP back and then go in wipe and then you have to do file repairwhen you fix file then ran back the stock firmware which will fix bootloader
then go back install twrp and install custom rom with root

Befour flashing twrp make sure you uncheck Auto reboot....when it's done flashing pull your battery, put it back in the phone but don't power on....you want to boot right into recovery......then twrp will stick
