Phone is almost a brick, need ideas

I need some ideas on how to fix my phone. I used to flash new roms all the time but a few weeks ago I started having problems.
When trying to load a new rom my phone would get hung at the multi colored X. Then once I got a rom to stick I would get lots of force closes when I hit the settings button.
I'm tired of dealing with it but I'm not sure how to fix it. Here are two Logcats of the phone stuck at the mulit colored X.
I would appreciate the help at getting my phone back to normal.
Logcat 1
Logcat 2

im not a expert but try unlocking ur bootloader and uploading all the update files from 2.2 froyo or something that helped me unbrick my almost brick

I would try passimg before fastboot flashing anything. If you want to know how to passimg it's in the wiki under unroot restore.

I've spent hours trying everything I could to fix it. My phones been half busted for about 2 months.
I didn't think it would but it did. It brought my phone back to stock 2.1. I grabbed z4root to root it, then reflashed hboot, radio and went back to CM7 nightly. All is well with the world again.

Haven't messed with a hero in a long time, but since you can get into h-boot, try to find a HERCIMG.zip of either the recovery or a full rom. (I see you now have an Evo, so HERCIMG.zip is just the Hero version of the PC36IMG for the Evo). Since the hero is pretty easy to root, I would suggest the entire rom to start fresh. If you are not familiar with HERCIMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd card and boot to hboot. It should then prompt you for the update.

If you are using a full rom image, you will need to re-root. Just use the one-click root for the Hero. But yes after you flash the image, I would boot just to make sure you are now good.
If just use a recovery img then try to boot into recovery and flash a very basic, maybe stock like rom.

i downloaded a HERCIMG.zip and hboot wont recognize it.... i think its because i have the latest hboot and radio already installed so i dont know what to do now... i've done hard reset, clear storage and i still can only get the white htc start screen and it stays there for hours until the battery dies i've done a hard reset and now my phone says s-on so somewhere in the process of trying to fix this i've lost my s-off.... i have no idea what to do :'(

Try Fastbooting... if you Plug it into your Computer and press Volume Up (I believe?) You Should be able to get into Fastboot and Hopefully Fix your Problem!
Good Luck!

Reflash darchs eng-spl to enable fast boot commands. It will give you s-off again. If you can't find it let me know. Also I'd recommended flashing it with ra1.6,1.7 or cwm2.5. After you flash the s-off zip your phone should flash the hercimg.zip
Locked & Loaded

Try this... See if it Helps?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692

What did u name the zip file?
... it's been a common mistake with this process that people actually name "hercimg.zip", which now becomes "hercimg.zip.zip"
But u have to name it just "hercimg" since it's already a zip file.
Its just a thought ... and plz excuse me for questioning u if u did it correctly and it truly did not work.
Good luck and take care

Sorry for the delay.
I managed to flash GB with the LG Flash Tool.
No root for it though.
For your case, it seems as if the computer is having trouble locating the device.
"adb devices" didn't pull up anything.
Can you flash a file with the LG Flash tool?
If so, download V10C_00.kdz and flash that.
Then root and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
I just did that.
EDIT: Acutally. Turn on Team Viewer.

My Thrill is hanging at the LG logo when I turn it on. I'm able to get into recovery mode but wiping the data doesn't help. It just hangs at the logo again once I reboot. Anyone know what I could try?

Hi

I am new to this forum persay i have been browsing and learning for a lil while now. And now i got a issue i cant find or resolve on my own. I bought a droid incredible s today and it was going into the hard rest menu ( power down and volume down ) and i downloaded a new firware for it of here and was getting ready to install it and now it wont go into the hard rest menu. I don't know what happened... Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Uhm.. could it be that you flashed firmware of another device?

Droid Incredible?

If you did a Wipe Data/System Reset from the boot loader menu, you have reset the device settings and the FASTBOOT option is now enabled which prevents you from getting into the boot loader.
You need to boot the phone normally and then disable the FASTBOOT mode and also turn on adb debugging mode while you are at it.
In order to flash the custom ROMs on this forum, you will need to unlock the boot loader and then install a custom recovery.
Sounds like you need to do some more reading and studying about how to successfully mod your IncS.

Firmware as in??? Radio? ROM? RUU? What?? Firmware could mean lots of things.

Also this is really impossible unless:
1. You have brick (which could be possible considering the fact that it seems you don't know what you are doing based on what I read)
2. You have no battery left (which could also be fully possible)
Like tpbklake suggested, I really do encourage you to read a bit more. Screwing these little things up really could lead to a dead phone.

Firmware update was a over the air update from verizon. Nothing out of the normal. And i haven't done anything to brick the phone. It just wont go into bios now. I didn't install anything just tried factory restore of bios menu.

If you got an ota from Verizon, then you have a droid inc 2 which has it's own forum. Although they are very similar, you cannot run the ROM on this forum.
Did you read my previous post about System Reset will disable you from getting into the boot loader screen? You need to disable FASTBOOT mode and then you should be able to get into the boot loader screen.

HELP!!! Soft bricked???

My son has the Non-HK edition and has somehow erased everything off of his phone. As in, there is no operating system anymore. I've tried everything I can think of to get it back to stock and nothing is working. Maybe someone here can help me out and walk me through how to get it back working? The phone will boot to the screen where you can choose Fastboot, Recovery, HBOOT, and all that stuff. No custom recovery is installed on the phone either. I use to have TWRP on it but like I said, EVERYTHING is gone.

Your best bet is to run the latest non HK RUU found here.
