Bricked Rogers HTC Dream

Hi folks,
This is a repost from a wrong forum. Sorry guys
I have a HTC Dream which I guess I tried unsuccessfully to root. I used the method to load the software as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=130
At step 10, "10.Apply “update.zip”, wait until phone idles, then press the HOME + BACK buttons. It will reboot, finish writing “hboot.img”, then reboot again into Recovery mode by itself. Do not interrupt it at all until it's done."; I think I followed it verbatem only to find my phone is now in a constant boot loop
It shows a Rogers logo and I'm unable to boot into any mode (recovery or otherwise) with any key combo (I've tried Camera+Power, Home + Power/End) but the phone doesn't respond and keeps showing the Rogers screen.
I saw some instructions on what to do when this happens. One suggestion was to copy DREAIMG.nbh to the SD-Card and try booting with the Camera +End Button sequence, but the phone doesn't respond at all).
Any ideas on what can be done? Is it bricked? I can see the logo and I know it boots...perhaps the bootloader is trashed and needs to be reinstalled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LOL, ok, I'll bite.....
Unfortunately all the same responses from the other thread you started still apply. Have you taken any of the advice from AdrianK?

Your link to the post you followed is invalid....I don't know much about the rogers process, but it sounds like if you are unable to get any key combos to work then your bricked.

I guess you are right. The phone does boot. It simply stays at the boot screen showing the rogers logo. Taking the battery turns if off. No response any key combos and it doesn't show up anywhere with adb/fastboot when connected to USB. Any ideas or hopes?

What happens when you put the battery back in? Comes on by itself and starts bootlooping or do you have to turn it on? If you have adb setup properly, you can run the ddms.bat file that's in the tools folder of the sdk. With you phone plugged in via usb, run a logcat and follow it for a while....if it starts repeating over and over, then its a definite bootloop. That, combined with you not getting any key combos to work suggests a brick

The phone does not turn on, when the battery is put in. Only hitting the power button, which is when it vibrates slightly and becomes unresponsive. Given what I'm seeing, its doing something...the devices become hot until the battery runs out.
I did setup adb (and java for ddms.bat). Though there is no output in logcat (Simply Failed at the top). I've tried various key (Home+Power Camera+power etc) combinations to see if it burbs, but nothing.
Any ideas on what I can try. I'm fairly good with linux/unix and setting up development environments. Thanks.

If it's looping on the second screen, then you're not bricked. If I was to guess, maybe your SD is not partitioned correctly for the ROM you're flashing...if I was to guess.

Hmm...where is this second screen? I unfortunately have no output (from the time I hit power to any useable/known key combos ) on my mmda.bat java interface. None whatsoever. Is there a way to see the raw data thru USB to see what it does when it boots up? And if so, how?

Same problem here

same problem here, the device comes on when the power button is pressed, a slight vibrate confirms this, then just hangs on "HTC Dream" screen.
Tried every key combo I can find to no avail, please, anybody help!!!!

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo. Seems bricked. Help?

Hey everyone, first time here! (And unfortunately not a happy first post)
So, I recently got this HTC One and was trying to get back to stock ROM after a journey with CyanogenMod 10.1 (Which was awesome, but a bit laggy).
Now, I wanted to go back to stock, and so I flashed this ROM I found on these forums (that said to be a .401 version that was stock and the most recent version). Biggest problem here, I'm pretty sure I forgot to wipe data and cache.
The problem that I have right now is that my phone is stuck on the HTC logo, without me being able to shut it down...at all.
I can't boot to bootloader, can't boot to recovery, can't do anything
When I press on the power button (Tried up to a minute) the back and home button start blinking, but nothing else.
When connected to my computer, the PC seems to detect it, but I'm not able to access the storage, or do anything fastboot related.
I'm kinda afraid my phone is bricked!
Help?
Thanks

Rule #1: if it does anything.. It's not bricked
You need to hold the light sensor up to a light source (lamp, sun, and etc..) and hold down the power button till it turns off. Then boot into bootloader and get to your recovery and wipe/re flash

Wow! Thanks for quick response!
I was able to shut down the phone and get it to restart, but I'm not able to boot into the bootloader (holding volume down)
It just goes back to the HTC Screen (the one with Beats logo)

Just want to say thanks a ton!
I was able to boot back in the phone!
Thank you!

Lucky you! Rule #2....whenever rooting your stock ROM for the first time, boot up, then take a Nandroid, and keep one copy on SDcard and your computer!
And maybe going first with popular and proven Custom ROMs, close to stock. And taking a Nandroid of that one as well!
Glad you got it all sorted
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Awesome! Thanks for the tips!
Weird thing, I was able to flash Cyanogen, no problemo (since I didn't forget to wipe cache, etc.)
The other ROM I used was supposed to be a stock image (I had found another one that worked, but I thought the one I found later tonight was closer to the version that came with the phone).
Anyway, long story short, I'm a noob, and that's ok!
Thanks to everyone for the help!

Thanks for this, phone just randomly restarted after a crash and ended up at an error screen. No matter how long I held the power button down it wouldn't restart. I'm in a dark hotel room, so held it up to the window and it restarted immediately. 30 minutes of panic over

Wow. I have to say I was stuck at the HTC Boot logo to no avail (blinking capacitive buttons) and holding it up to a light source actually worked (while holding down power). Thanks so much.

Hi All,
Need help here as I received a official OTA Update for 4.2.2 today.
After download the OTA package, the phone start updating the system.
But I think it failed in the middle of updating because I saw the red triangle mark appear on screen.
Now, my phone is not able to boot up and keep on stuck in the white HTC Screen.
Anyone here would give some suggestion or solution to help me overcome this issues? :crying:
Thanks for all in advance.
** My phone is non-rooted devices
This issues has been solved by download the correct RUU for my phone. Thanks all for helping me.

Is it stuck at the white HTC splash screen that says quietly brilliant or the boot up animation screen that has the beats logo on it?
If stuck at the splash screen just hold power and both volume keys to force a reboot and see if it boots up then. If it is stuck during the boot animation you may have to try a factory reset.
You may still be able to do a factory reset depending on where the update failed.
Hold power and Vol down for until it boots into the bootloader. Then press the power button again to select bootloader. In the bootloader list you should see factory rest, use volume keys to highlight it and power to select it.
This will wipe all your data you had saved on the internal storage, but that would be better than a non booting phone.
Best of luck.

Hi crushalot,
Thanks for your advices and Yes it stuck in the white screen with quietly brilliant. I have tried your solution which boot into bootloader and did the factory reset, but too bad, it doesn't make my day.
I'm currently download the RUU I found in the Internet, do you think that will help ?

Yes, a proper RUU should be able to reset you to 100% stock if your weren't rooted or S-Off.

Crushalot I have a similar issue with my HTC one like xiang5377. Except my phone is stock no root nothing, actually it was given to me to root. It has been a long time since I have rooted a phone and im lost here. My friend got the phone online which might have been his first mistake, second I believe it was from China. In any case lt me explain what has gone on, I have been looking for instructions in unlocking bootloader in fastboot mode which is not an issue, I found it but I am unable to get to the bootloader by pressing power key and VOL down.....strange so I looked under settings to turn off fastboot and the option wasn't there at all. When I press VOl down and power key it goes to some strange looking menue in Chinese REALY! OK so I searched Google and fopund a post that suggested it might be a fake. So I tried VOL up and power key and it took me another strange looking screen. I actually had the option for "normal" "fastboot" and something else:fingers-crossed: Nothin stayed at that same screen for ever....so I pressed VOl down and power and it reset. I went back to that screen gain picked the one option should not have and now im stuck at htc quietly brilliant sceen:crying: I have tried all kinds of key options and still nothing NED HELP!! I am unsure if the phone is internal sprint T-Mobile etc... 100% stock.

Might need some screen shots. It sounds like it may be a fake HTC One. Can you look at the bootloader screen on this fake and see if yours is similar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362301
Or look here:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/14/fake-htc-one-plastic-mt6589/
If it is one the fakes then I'm not sure what to advise other than trying to return it and get a genuine unit.
If it is real then we might be able to do something. Are you able to reboot it by holding both volumes (up and down) plus the power buttons for 15+ seconds? It should cause it to reboot.

NO joy on reboot. I looked at that video and it seems to be the fake one, might explain why I wasn't able to get to the bootloader normally. This sucks now I will have to explain to my lieutenant that he got a fake one and I might have bricked it lol! What would you try next if it were real, or will I have to wait till it dies and still run the risk of it not booting up normally again. I was never able to get to normal bootloader.
---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------
Also looking at the video, it had the same black menu not the white menu I have seen in other videos, indicating a newer OS. It also did not show fastboot option under settings/power option
http://imageupload.co.uk/files/36ha7p8hdv926l90b0l6.jpg
On the pic above I actually clicked on: [UART Boot] option and im stuck

If it was real, it would respond to the normal reboot commands and allow us to reboot the OS if working or boot to fastboot so we can use fastboot commands to see exactly what we were working with and decide the next move.
In you case, you may just have to wait until the battery dies and then perhaps it will boot normally, as it seems the clones don't have the same button commands to perform operations. You could try different combinations of button holding to see if it will reboot.
There may also be some more information on the Chinese forums, but could be hard for a English speaker to navigate and fin the info needed.
If the seller sold the device as a genuine HTC One then, obviously that is illegal and you could try to use that angle to force them to return it.
Best of luck.

Thanks I really do appreciate it, I have attempted several button configs lol and still nothing. Looks like I have no choice but to wait till it dies and pray that it boots normally.

Stuck in ROM install load screen- Can't get to Bootloader

I posted this in ATT HTC One, but it's not getting any attention.
Unlocked and rooted my phone last night using the latest version of TWRP. I mistakenly (not knowing at the time) used the Cyanogenmod installer kit which gave me an error during install. Now my phone is stuck on that spinning CM loading screen. When I go to get into the bootloader (power + volume down) my phone restarts and goes to the bright HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom, then goes right back to the CM loading screen and not into the bootloader menu like I want.
I have not yet tried the trick of holding the phone near bright lights to try and get it into bootloader. The USB cable I think is fine as well and not a cause of anything.
Any suggestions please? I have searched through this forum a lot, but haven't found this exact problem yet.

Ok you dont need to worry abt this. You need to Press (Power + Volume Down) till your phone restarts and then just leave the power button but keep holding the volume down button and it will take you to the Fastboot Mode and from there you can go to recovery and flash another Compatible ROM or do RUU. Hope it helps:good:

Thank you! I will try this tonight.
Others have also said I need to do this under a bright light, too.

[Q] SOLVED. Stuck on boot screen with no way out

I'm stuck at the white boot screen with the green htc logo, the red dev text, and the word android on top of the red text.
I just unrooted and went back to stock using the latest ruu.
I'm unlocked and s-off.
I wanted to put on a recovery for it but when I did, the red text about the build being for dev purposes showed up.
I thought flashing the stock boot img would fix that.
It didn't. I can't reboot out, turn off the phone, get to bootloader or recovery, or anything.
Adb and fastboot can't see the phone is connected cause it's at the boot screen.
I tried holding Vol Up and Power for a minute and then tried shining a light on the front camera for a couple of minutes.
Is there any hope to fix this?

the red text is normal after flashing a custom recovery, the other stuff might be you flashed the wrong recovery for your phone, I don't know what phone you have or what recovery you flashed, if it's a sprint phone it should be for m7wls.did you flash superuser after the recovery.to gain root

I have a sprint htc one m7. I flashed philz for this phone and it worked fine. So the problem was that I flashed the stock boot image on fastboot and for some reason, it got stuck on the boot screen when I tried booting in and I don't have a way of getting out of that boot screen. So far, i'm thinking that I might have to wait for the phone to run out of power and die so it can be off then charge it up and see if I can get into bootloader. But I was hoping there would be another way of getting out of boot screen.

Alright cool. Do you know how long i gotta hold it for until they stop? They've been blinking forever since I've held power down.

hmmm, they should only blink about 10 times, does the screen turn off?
try putting it under a bright light when they are flashing.

I used the flashlight from my other phone on it but it blinks as long as I hold it down, it doesn't seem to stop. And no, the screen doesn't turn off, it's still the same boot screen.
EDIT- It probably was the damn light lol. I happened to plug in the One to the charger and there was a lamp next to it, so I put it under that and held the power and volume down key and the screen went dark and booted into fastboot and I smiled greatly Thank you! Now the beginning starts.

I didn't either till that blessed lamp came into my sights. I thought I had to pull the plug. But nah, life's way better. So I don't know how to get back the previous boot image i had before i flashed this one.

Nah. To the boot image version before the one I flashed. But I just ended up running the ruu again and it set up everything. So i'm saved now. Thanks for your help.
