What do you mean you rooted it? Do you mean you unlocked the bootloader (that's entirely different, by the way), or something else?
What exactly have you flashed on it and how (specifically) did you do it?

It's kinda irrelevant how he got there. I can't think of any way to access a phone that won't boot - can you?

Sounds like a hardware failure

i meant by rooting that i unlocked it and installed a rom like cyanogenmod and modaco but both didnt work, i mean when i power it on, it get stuck on the X in the boot menu.. and now it wont boot to this menu and i cant access the bootloader..
well i thought that since i cant access the bootloader then i wont be able to do anything but i thought that i can ask here since guys u are expert with this phone so if u can think of anyway to reset the mobile... and i hope its not a hardware failure :S
anyway thank you so much for answering me

Not totally irrelevant. Depending on what he tried to flash it could be truly bricked. Sounds like it could be but didn't want to jump to that conclusion.

I have the same problem here... Cant access to the bootloader menu my phone cant do anything except charging and vibrating 3 times while I'm trying to power-on it
cant see nothing on the screen . always black screen
Before what is happening now I tried ROM Modaco & Cynogenmod with recovery image Amon_RA
Note: My Nexus One is bootloader UNLOCKED.
ThankYou Guys..

Help me unbrick my phone

So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.
I'm stuck with a bricked G1 here in Brazil.
Currently there is no way of bringin a g1 back to life short of giving it a heart transplant<new board>

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate
hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.
He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.
You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.
thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

thank you for replaying , I have tried to get into the download mode but the phone Doesn't turn on do you think if i crashed the boot loader , can i fix it somewhere or that's it i lost the phone ??
maybe you've selected the wrong PIT file.
Is your phone a 16 or a 32gb note ?

[Q] Turn the volume down button off on my xperia Z?

Hi Guys! Just bought a phone from a friend and everything is working as it should (I was told about the volume down button being broken) , but I did not think that would bother me much.. Except.. The phone boots in safe mode, AT ALL TIMES, making me unable to install new apps and such, and that does bother me.. ALOT. So my question is.. Is the any way to remove either the safe mode function alltogether, or just disable the volume down key in any way? I know its broken, but I really dont need the volume down function, I just need it to not be in my way.
And I would like to do this at home, not sending it away for 4 weeks and then get it back, probably without the problem even beeing fixed, dont have much faith in the so called "pros"..
Thanks!
no way,i think.because it's a factory-configured default way to boot in safe mode with vol. down key
try to repair your phone

I saw someone on a swedish forum that had disabled some vol.tkr or vol.mngr or something like that, but I dont know how to do that and he just wrote that he had found the solution on some forum in english.. There should be a way since phones are more like small computers nowadays.. Just dont know how :-/

EDIT: That might work only at run-time sadly. If you want it to work right from boot, then I am afraid we need to make changes to the kernel. I can modify the kernel for you if you are ready to unlock your bootloader.

Hi! I understood nothing of that Do I download and install the app? The problem is that I cant install anything new, since the phone is in safe mode :/
How do I unlock my bootloader and can I lock it again afterwards?

help required with samsung t899m :(

Hi..
Facing this problem with my phone..have tried a lot of googling but couldnt find anything..was just able to install the drivers for qualcomm msm..phone is not going beyond this screen after starting..any help is appreciated..
Well, that's less bad than what happened to *my* T899M... Have you tried hitting the Windows button to start recovery, as the screen suggests? Alternatively, you may be able to do a boot-time hard reset (the kind done by holding some buttons - I forget which ones, but it's documented online - while turning the phone on) since you were able to get as far as the Windows bootloader.
Without knowing more about what in particular has died, I can't really help.
hitting windows button doesnt do anything. although i was able to enter into something by holding the vol up+ power..but dunno what to do after that..
hard reset doesnt work either..im not able to reach the "exclamation" screen.the phone just vibrates and goes looping the windows screen..
any suggestions please..?? seems like a paper weight in the making..

First : start explaining when this happend ?
did you update the phone with the Cortana alpha firmware ? ( the last update on preview for developers)
if you did that then you can sent your phone back because there is no rom for your phone , only repair center can help you with that.

Need to hard reset EXPERIA E1 D2500

Hi all..
So got my son he is only ten yesterday a phone not a new phone as he is 9 really just ten yesterday so no edge or iphone6 yet lol.
He asked me will he put a pin on it I said if u wanna but he put a pattern on d bloody thing and now
cannot for the lil life in him remember it omg iv been trying all day to get into recovery by presing
vol up and power on at the same time but it just wil not work, keeps just booting to the lock screen.
Im no neeb iv had soooo many android phones at this stage my signature is a waste of time and I always
root, install custom recovery TWRP my fav but with this E1 I aint got a clue how to reset it for him.
Can anyone help cus the vol+ and power together just aint working.... really wanna get it working for
him he luvs it even do its old he don know all he wants is snapchat, facebook n he is happy.
Thanks all.
By default, Xperia E1 doesn't have Recovery installed
You need to install a recovery either from here, PhilZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/general/philz-touch-recovery-xperia-e1-t2941831
Or from here, TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../recovery-main-thread-twrp-xperia-e1-t3323159
TWRP requires a custom kernel though.
If your son's bootloader is locked, you need to unlock it, which you can do it If you follow the steps from this thread I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/general/xperia-e1-rooting-flashing-recovery-t3051225
If the bootloader is force-locked, you need to reflash a firmware with Flashtool, there's no other way.
If you have any doubts or questions just ask me
K but wud I need USB Debugging on? Its not like. Basically I just want to reset to factory settings.
Thx pal means a lot for any help!! This is why I luv XDA
I Dont think I can do any of tat as I am stuck on the lockscreen, i cant get into the phone he cant remember d pattern at all, tried so many combinations already. How can I reset and get this pattern off?
Yes, but to reset to factory settings you need to have a recovery installed
I don't remember Xperia E1 having a hard reset combination
I done it using the sony companion app 4 windows. Now need to c can I get network unlock, si free like ugh
