By the way my phone is a HTC Pure, that was security and sim unlocked, at the time it went down was running the latest Energy.TOPAZ.29022.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.GTX.Jul.04.7z ROM. With no recent updates or installs.
Ok my phone was in my pocket for the morning and when I pulled it out it was dead and wouldn't turn back on. Plugged it in to charge and once charged it will only boot to the white screen with the little red numbers in the bottom. It takes very little time to get to this point and once here it is unresponsive to any buttons pushed. I can leave it like this and it will just get hot and wear down the battery, I have only left it like this for ten minutes, just to see if it would come out of this stage.
After searching and reading all the brick / won't boot posts I could. I tried to hard reset, which works and I can get to the bootloader screen(striped screen). Then re flashed to the newest hard spl and have flashed three different versions of Energy, currently trying MaxSense. But nothing has gotten it past the boot screen. All flashes were done with the USB through my computer and the SIM and SD cards have not been in it.
I just don't get how it bricked in my pocket, it had worked fine for a month on the same Energy ROM with no issues and I had not downloaded or installed anything new recently.
Just miss my phone now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did I post this in the wrong area? 3 days 50 or so views and nothing, this sucks!
I take it this is the wrong area for this post as it has gotten a few views, but no responses. I should probably move it and see if that helps.
This sucks and I am disappointed, I'm done with this post, I give up!!!
I have a paperweight for a phone and I hope no one else has this issue, because no one on here can help.

I have a 6 or 7 month old Kaiser branded by AT&T. I got seperated from it late last week, so it ran it battery down till failure. When I went to recharge the phone, it started attempting to boot, staying at the AT&T globe screen and then appearing to boot again, (black screen and momentary vibrate.) With a bit of searching I found the suggestion of boot to loading screen and leave it there to charge. After 6 hours, the battery has a measured voltage of 4.17V so that should be enough, but the phone continues the booting loop.
I tried hard resetting with the two keys and stylus. The phone acted like a normal hard reset with the questions, but when it tried to boot, it continued the reboot loop.
My question, do you think I should attempt to reload the stock AT&T ROM?
I'm new at this so there's a large learning curve. If you guys think this is a low probably solution, then I'll sent it back / buy another one and save the long learning curve. I use this for business so I could spead the learning curve time writing software I get paid for writing.
Thanks,
Bernie
your phone got damaged from battery drain? is that possible?
i think your phone has another problem... i really dont think the battery drain was the reason...
can you go to bootloader if so try flashing new ROM (you will loose data) but again you said you have performed hard reset (partial HR) so your phone is clean!
if you want send your phone back - yes you need to get stocked ROM and stocked SPL back

If you already have Hard-SPL installed and it is a version capable, you may try to put the Rom with a Radio onto the Micro-SD card and re-flash the phone that way. I had an issue where i got a boot loop and it turned out that flashing the radio fixed the issue. I hope you at least had a current backup prior to the hard reset because as of now, there is no way to retrieve it
No worries on the backup, it's backed up daily and I only use it as a data carrier. The only drag of the reset is the time of reloading apps.
I agree it may be more than just software issue due to dead battery, but I have to try everything I can. I've back on my old Moto smart phone and it's just not the same, hahahaha.
Now back to studying Kaiser ROMs and how to.

As a follow up for anyone who runs across this in the future. I flashed the original AT&T rom and the problem still exists. I spoke to tech support yesterday and they are mailing out a new/reman replacement. So the problem appears to be terminal.
Thanks guys for trying to help.

Hi All,
While on a business trip last week, my Tilt 2 (at the time, running the April 14 Energy ROM), my phone--for lack of a better word--crashed on me.
Everything had been working fine, I was sitting there with my phone connected to my laptop via a USB cable, and out of the blue, for no apparent reason, my phone re-booted, and never came back up. It would get to the splash screen, start loading the OS, reboot mid-stream, and get stuck in a loop. Weirder still, if I pulled the battery, let the phone sit, then put the battery back in, hitting the power button did nothing--even with the phone plugged in to power. On top of that, even if the phone was off, after a few minutes, it would power itself back on randomly, and get stuck in the re-boot loop. Very weird.
So, when I got home, before heading to the AT&T store and asking for a replacement, I thought I'd try to restore the phone myself.
At first, I pulled the battery, then stuck it back in, and sat there holding the volume down button, waiting to put the phone into bootloader mode. That worked, but even in bootloader mode, it would randomly re-boot. So, I started the process again, and immediately plugged the phone into my computer while in bootloader mode and ran the Task 29 tool. That completed properly.
At this point, I popped in another battery I had laying around and just let the phone charge for a few hours. Then, for the heck of it, I re-ran the HardSPL tool. Re-Flashed to the .91 radio (it was already on the phone), and then flashed to the latest Energy ROM.
Since then, my phone has been better than ever. Seems faster, battery life is better (Went three days without having to charge it), no dropped calls, and no weirdness with the latest ROM (that I've found so far).
Does it pay to REALLY start fresh from time to time, and re-flash everything on the phone?
Thanks for any input.
I have no idea, but hopefully the WinMo experts will see this and have an idea, so here's a bump for you. Most of my computer expertise revolves around Unix, Linux, and a bit of Windows, not so much these phones.
I do know that task 29 is awesome, though. It seems like DBAN for your phone...
DBAN=Darik's Boot and Nuke. Look it up.
I don't know what happened with your phone, sounds like something broke in the area of booting.
I don't think you should need to re-flash HardSPL radios just for the sake of it, but I'd strongly recommend task29 every time you flash a new ROM.
bricked my TP2
My TP2 seems to have a similar problem which I haven't been able to fix it just yet. The bootloader reboot loop is too short to succesfully run task 29 and flashing it using the microSD gets stuck around 40%
during bootloader mode there's an unreadable errormessage since it's on the same line as some of the usual information.
any thoughts/suggestions would be very welcome since i can't afford to send it to the factory.
cheers.
Sorry for the bad title
Hi everyone, yes I'm a nood and yes I've read all the posts (I think) or at least I have not come accross my problem, sorry if this is long but I'll try and make it understandable.
I have a captivate 10.11 locked to rogers, Loved the phone, One day being past 40 and not being able to remember my name sometimes, I told my Brother don't let me get in the pool with my phone on, go in the house come outside and sit for a minute then get in the pool ...arrrg! I noticed right away and took the phone off removed the battery, dried the phone best I could. threw it in a bag of rice and left it in the sun for about 2 days. I put the battery back in and yeah!! the phone worked ..... for 1 day no problems. I get up the next morning and I turn it on but I can't slide to unlock??? So I remove the battery, when I put the battery back in, it doesn't go past the I896 Samsung screen no matter how long I leave it?
(This is where the title comes in) I start to read the forums here and figured well I have nothing to loose, I can get my phone to go into download no problem, so I load the odin one click on it "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" now I'm stuck at the AT&T screen, so I play with all button combinations I have read about, but nothing I do will get me into the recovery menu ?? Low and behold after 3 days of playing I get life, the 3rd day I figured "well I may as well turf this" I turn it on and after a minute I get the little android guy with some yellow text and then it goes back to AT&T then loads the home screen??? I'm thinking woo hoo I get the home screen I'm able to put my sim back in and SD and I'm able to make the phone work. So I'm thinking I'd like to have the Apps that come with Rogers so I think, well I'll load the rogers stock rom. Now I'm stuck again at the I896 screen.
Sorry for being long in the explanation, But I've gotten the odin 1 click to work 2 times and the second time I rooted the phone and loaded the rogers rom through rom manager, I got all working perfect but after 2 days it froze again at the slide to unlock screen??? Remove the battery and again I'm at the boot I896.
Can someone tell me if
1. water damage could have this affect? (the slide to unlock freezes or screen not responding to touch after a couple days) ?
2. can a rom take 3 days before it loads? the odin 1 click always seems to come to life after 3 days of playing with it the rogers rom doesn't? When it's stuck at the boot I896 or AT&T the soft keys seem to work (meaning I run my finger over them and they dim) ??
I'm sorry if I missed a similar post but I've been reading for weeks now ? Any help at all would be appreciated.
Sounds like a classic case of water damage. probably internal moisture
check your stickers on your phone if they are white you can get a replacement no problem, if pink it going to be harder try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073929
Ps. your title has nothing to do with the problem at all, it look like a joke. Next use a more appropriate title
As I bought it second hand I won't be able to return it. I'm just wondering if there is not a way to save it, because I can get into download mode everytime I try and it succeeds everytime it flashes ?
Well day 3 after loading the odin 1 click and I am back, I rooted and change the rom using rom manager, all seems to be working fine (I hope ) I will keep you posted if it locks up again ???
All is good after 4 days so I'm hopeing 3 times, a charm thanks to this forum I've saved my Cappy

Basic Info:
HTC One phone purchased in Hong Kong through a relative, so no idea who the provider/brand it's RUU is under
Now running on T-Mobile network in Texas
Never had been tinkered with before (Rooting/Flash-ROM/etc.)
Never had issues with it aside from only getting 3G internet (had used 4G on previous phone, same plan)
This all started randomly earlier today when the phone was idling on the desk, I was going to check something but it won't respond. I didn't have any updates pending/installing and only had a game open. First idea was no power so I plugged it into the wall, but the charging light wasn't lit so I assumed a dead internal battery. After trying a few more times, it turned back on! But this time it gives me a black screen after the white screen with the HTC logo in the middle, and to further annoy me it keeps restarting and repeating this. I tried the Hboot screen via Power+DownVolume but none of the options worked.
I tried all the options:
Fastboot (Reboot + Reboot Hboot)
Recovery
Factory Reset
Nothing worked at all and I've already scanned the forums for something similar but nothing comes up. Someone please help me fix it, I need it for work and can't afford another day like this. T-Mobile guys were no help and Best Buy guys did no better. Thanks in advance for all the help!
Hi guys.
First post, apologies if it is in the wrong place.
I was given a Motorola XT925 3 days ago, running what I can only assume is the most recent version of android (i tried updating it, and it claimed it was up to date). No SIM card in, no SD card.
All was well, until I noticed an app, "media" sucking 50% of the battery. It was killing me, so I did some extremely brief Googl-ing and arrived at the conclusion that a factory reset would be a sensible thing to do to nip the problem in the bud.
Unfortunately, my battery ran out half way through the reset (derrrrrrpppp), leaving my new phone semi-hard-bricked.
The loading icon will come on sometimes if it's put on to charge after some time off charge, and sometimes the stupid little robot even pops up, with a loading bar underneath him, and a tangled blue web protruding from his abdomen. He freezes a short time later.
The power and volume buttons are unresponsive, and the whole semi-booting pattern is erratic, but things seem to happen if I leave it off/on the charger all day.
I have a suspicion that my phone in it's current state has half the operating system un-installed, and will therefore not boot correctly.
Anyway I was hoping to get some recommendations for the most appropriate next step. I will be taking it to a nearby shop tomorrow, and see-ing if the people who sold it to the person that gave it to me can help...
I have read about "flashing" devices etc, and if the shop-people can't work it out, I'm probably going to give it a try. I am running a mac as well, so many flashing programs will probably be incompatible.
Thanks for the help
tl;dr: Motorola XT925 hard-bricked following complete battery depletion during factory reset. Wat do?
