I have rooted my Htc hero a few months ago and had no problem until recently when my battery died and my phone brings up this white screen when ever I turn it on.
I have tried reinstalling my RUU updated and it works, but only if i keep the phone on without restarting it or letting it die will the phone work properly again.
If its turned off it will go back to the white screen ( with the 3 little androids on the bottom).
The options it gives me do nothing by the way.
Does anyone know whats going on with it?

huh? what do you mean?
can anyone help?
Bump. Anyone have any clue on whats going on with it?
Can u go to recovery? From off... hold down home button while holding down power button.
Or hboot mode... from power off...
Hold down lower volume button while pressing power button. From hboot u can choose "recovery"
U want recovery to get to a "advanced" then to "backup and restore"
If ur still rooted then restore one of ur backups.
And if u wanna start over... unroot it and reroot it so u can flash any ROM u want.

Try to Install ROM Manager and Flash the Recovery over Again! Next at the Bottom of the ROM Manager app there's something called Fix Permissions, Run that until Asked to Reboot! Then Select Reboot and see if that Fixes it? Pretty sure it might Work...
It wont let me even recover anything, it just shows a picture of a red phone with a "!" net to it and it stays that way until I take the battery off.
PMGRANDS I have tried it and there is no option. ( I have updated it ) not installed. Maybe that's the problem? I've been updating it and it works until I turn it off.
That's why it's faster to start over...
Use the ruu zip and start over. I know it sucks but ur backups are still on ur SD card so once u unroot, then reroot in about 15 min, ur back to just rentering ur gmail account, then download rom manager and do a good working backup or just reflash the rom u just had that didn't work.
It beats playing the "try this or this" game.
Well I wish u luck in whichever option u choose
Take care

My phone turns on, but it does not pass the HTC words screen....
Help please...
This is what happened.... I guess the new KERNEL is having issues with WIFI... so GBHIL suggested I try this....
gbhil said:
It looks like there is a bug with the new kernel package and users of 1.5 ROMS. If you're comfortable with this, here's what i would try:
Nandroid back up
Verify that you have a backup
Copy that backup to your computer.
Go back to the kernel thread and download the AOSP version of the kernel.
Flash it
See if your phone boots, runs as expected, and wifi works.
If the answer to any of those is no, restore your nandroid backup.

Now my phone turns on but does not pass the HTC letter screen... I did battery pulls and waited for 10 min for it to show something else... Nothing...
Please help...
After you pull the battery again, hold down Home and Power, go into Recovery, and restore your last nandroid. Everything should be fine after that. Thats why you always make a backup before tryin anything.
What were you doing when this happened were you flashing a rom or mck?
Edit: Ok I seen. Sounds wierd. Glad its working for ya.

Holding home (Dont let go) and tap power doesn't get you to the recovery screen (black with green lettering)?
I'm glad you got it running, but the above is worrying.
Sounds like you did a hard rest instead.
After downloading an app from the market (cant remember the name of it)..
It rebooted itself and now the phone wont reboot.
It comes up with the Galaxy S I9000 logo and everything but go into my main screen
It continues to vibrate and the screen stays all black.
The lights on the 'back' on the left and the 'menu' panel on the left has its lights on but it just vibrates as if its force closing and wont boot...
Tried system reboot by holding down the keys and tries reboot but wont reboot...
Any ideas????
My phone has been rooted so im guessing that the warranty on the phone wont apply??
Other people from other forums advised that it would be a good idea for me to install a different ROM but Im not too good with these things so I dont know what it means, also having trouble understanding how it can be done when I cant access th main screen of my phone?
Please help

Since your phkne was rooted check if it can go into download mode or not.
Switch off your phone. Press the volume down key the home key and the power button n switch on the phone a screen may then appear with a yellow symbol sayn downloading. Check if that hapens and take it frkm there.

Darkyys recovery rom is a good place if all else fails, It has got me out of a few holes when even the standard roms failed to work
you'll need odin (i recommend version 1.7) but if I remember correctly it's included in the download with darkyys rom
OK, so I am not new to flashing ROM's, but I formatted system from recovery (storage and mounts) and was going to flash unleashed 1.1, but somehow I accidentally rebooted phone before flashing anything!
Now the phone only boots into the M dual core logo, and wont go any further. After a battery pull, I attempted to go into recovery by volume up/down and power button simultaneously, and choose recovery, but the phone goes to the exclamation point inside the triangle and wont boot into recovery.
What do I do?
There's a partial fxz that will reflash just the stock system partition. Find that and use it.

I guess this is relatively simple. Haven't had to use RSD, so will search for a tutorial. Hope this file will download from the coffee shop I am at in the next 30 minutes!
Easy. Pull battery. Put battery back in. Hold vol down button. Press the power button to get the black screen with white letters. Launch rsd pick the file you downloaded select uncompress and flash. Go have a cigarette or quick beer and it will be done.
I have done it way too many times by bricking my phone trying to edit services jar to get 1% battery increments although i may throw in the towel soon on that

THANK YOU (phone just booted up)
Glad to hear. Now root your phone (faq in the dev forum will help) set it all up how you want and make a nandroid backup for the next time you brick your phone.

Actually, was already rooted and had a back up, was gonna update from unleashed 1.0 to 1.1, and pulled a dumb A** mistake. First time since having a rooted D1, and Incredible that I have done this!
I love this forum and all its users!
I had the same problem FINALLY got it working.
Ok I might sound retarded, but I can not get this phone started. I root the one with one of the One-click programs then i went on to remove the bloatware, however I guess I removed the home launcher without installing another one from the market. Now the phone will not pass the screen that comes right after the big M. What do i do? can someone please help?

You're gonna have to use RSD lite again
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
Battery OK to Program
Transfer Mode : USB COnnected
I am stuck at this screen. Wont let me do anything! Anyone knows what I should do? Thanks
I swear I just saw a post last night that stated you could get into recovery by the following method.
pull the battery, put battery back in, hold down the volume up and down buttons while pressing the power button simultaneously. This should take you to the screen with exclamation mark inside triangle.
Next (this is the part where I get uncertain. Darn memory)
press the volume buttons simultaneously and it takes you to factory recovery? or volume down by itself. If you can get to recovery you can wipe cache/dalvik cache and system format under (mounts and storage), then re-flash the rom again.
But I am not certain about that, because I cant find it again, but it wont hurt to try.
If that doesnt work, you may have to do the following, but It would seem like that is extreme fix for just removing your launcher?
someone chime in here.

I need help, my phone is stuck on the LG screen at boot, when I reboot to attempt getting into CWM i get the screen that says "are you sure you want to do a factory reset...." When I do so and factory wipe it goes back to the LG boot screen and doesn't go into Clockwork Recovery. Tried many times but no luck. I also tried connecting it to my pc and getting the LGNPST program but it doesn't see or recognize my phone as there is no way for me to connect it to USB Mass Storage.
Could I have really bricked my phone? I have screwed it up before but always able to get into CWM and turn on USB Mass storage, now I cant even do that. Any Help Please!!!
OOPS sorry i somehow posted this twice!!!
Would help if you posted what you've done to the phone. Since you only said what the problem is not what you did to it.
Hey thanks for replying. Ok here it is. I downloaded Rom Manager from the market that I bought previously for an HTC i had and from there somehow flashed a ROM and the rest is history. Stuck on LG
I downloaded ROM Manger since I got rid of it awhile ago since it didn't work and I have no idea how you could of flashed a rom through it since it'll just say you have to have clockworkmod on your phone unless you picked a different model like the esteem which is this phone but different model which would probably mess up the phone. But after you flashed the rom did anything else happen? Like did the phone work or just reboot and stay at Lg logo?
You know it was late last night and you just reminded me that I did use the Esteem ROM, and after that all it did was rebooted and stayed at the LG Screen, And whenever I try to get into recovery all it does is verify if i want to reset to factory and wipe data, then back to LG. I cant get any of my computers to recognize it on either XP or Win7...Im sorry I didnt say that my phone was rooted and running GingerVOlt1.3 with bk over clock kernel as well
Hmm try the Irc channel see if the people there have answers. http://webchat.freenode.net/ Channel: #lgrevolution
thanks i did that last night but im not sure how to actually use the IRC i tried clicking on several names and ask for help but no one responded. I appreciate your time though.
It's a normal chatbox pretty much you talk to everybody unless you click a name just say you have a problem and list what happened and everything somebody should be able to help you.
ok cool thanks im actually trying it now

Beamer,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this does not work either. I have tried holding the power button and volume down button several times all it does is take me to the factory wipe screen and after confirming just reboots back to the LG screen and stays there. I dont know what else to try. I have tried on my new Win7 X64 laptop and also on an XP desktop that always works but non of them will "see" my phone as a storage device or anything. Any suggestions???

Wow, I thought I would give it one last chance by trying to get it in download mode on my XP Desktop and holly cow, it actually worked and installed the drivers, however when I start the LGNPST it goes to the EMERGENCY function and makes me install a phonebook recovery but fails. I dont know what do do or where to get the "PhoneBook" file in question. Any ideas???

Alright, emergency mode is:
1) Pull battery
2) Put battery back in
3) Press and hold volume up
4) Press and hold power button while continuing to hold the volume up button
5) Hold through splash screen
6) Should now be in download mode

Mt,
Want to say thanks for all the work you've done and continue to do with the Revo. Its the only saving grace we have. Maybe you could help me out with this. I am stuck on the LGNPST when I put my phone in Download mode, LGNPST see's it as an "unknown" and only allows me to do a Phonebook Programing under the Emergency Tab, but when I choose the only Bin File and Only *csv. file it displays as error and stops. Im not sure as to what it wants me to do or what its trying to do. In the past I was able to just flash the VS910Ztot and be all done but now I cant even get that option. Do you have any Idea what I need to do??? Please any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I had a similar issue with this and the download mode and everything except I was able to get into recovery but it would reboot to fast to restore a full nand backup and I couldn't get the .dll to work either what I ended up doing and it fixed it was booting into recovery going into backups and restore then advanced restore and had enough time in recovery to restore just the boot so I did that next thing I knew the phone rebooted automagically like it had been doing but this time it went past the lg and into the gingervolt boot animation then I got a black screen so I manually booted into recovery did the same steps except this time I was able to advanced restore the system and it rebooted again when it booted up I had a black screen so I boot back into recovery and was finally able to restore a full back up never got an auto reboot so I booted up and the phone worked fine.

Not sure how I did it, but I am stuck at the Red LG logo with the white LG letters and my phone will go no further. It will not shut down without a battery pull. I have tried to do the hold down volume and factory reset the phone, same screen pops back up. Plugged in does nothing either. It is like it lost the ability to boot.
I ask here for maybe some guidance from a dev. If wrong place, please move it.
I can not get into the recovery, regular boot, computer to recognize it.. Nothing at all... Is there an actual boot image to put on the sd card to boot to?
Any suggestions??

What did you do right before this point?
I think my mistake was going into Rom Manager to see if I had anything showing clockwork installed. Phone restarted and i was at this point since. Not sure if I told it to update a clockwork or not. Head is fried now from messing with it..
