A friend of mines son was installing roms on his HTC Hero and bootlooped it. I've followed all the methods I could find to put this thing in a flash mode, or a recovery mode but all it does is flash the HTC logo. Home/End seems to be the way to get into the recovery mode but it does nothing.
Can you put this thing into a flash only mode and at least get it to its original state? It is unknown as to what exactly he did to it. I was told that he had been installing lots of roms and eventually one made it do this.
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682551&page=2 but pushing the volume up/end keys only makes it vibrate 3 times then sit idle not doing anything.
thanks.

The only way to effectively help you/him is to know how he got there, and what recovery/rom/kernel/theme/etc he is running. It would also help to know if this phone has an eng-spl fastboot or an s-off hboot.

Not really... in very rare cases has the hero been bricked.
If nothing else, you could always run the Sprint/HTC RUU through your computer, that will restore the Hero to "Out-of-Box" state. From there you could root back again and flash any ROM you would like.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the volume up button. Whole holding it press the power button. When you see the logo let go of the volume up button. If that doesn't work you'll have to run an ruu from fastboot or get a hercimg and flash it from fastboot.

how do I get into this fastboot mode? I'd love to restore it to factory software, but I'm unable to figure out how to get the phone into a mode that the PC will recognize. Volume up/end vibrates 3 times but never actually turns on or shows a logo. just stays black. If I could get this thing back to its original state that would be great.

Anyone know how to do this? I can't figure out how to get into the fastboot mode. I run the ruu executable, and it says it can't find the phone. I'm sure I need to put it in some kind of flash mode, but seem to be unable.
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm having this same problem. I've run several ROMs including cyanogen 6.0 and 6.1 and today was installing the cyanogen 7 with 2.3 android. I wiped everything and flashed the rom and the gapps and the phone went into constant reboot cycles. I could at that point, hold the power/home and get it back to the recovery menu. I had the Amon RA recovery and thought I would try the 3.0 clockwork, so I flashed that recovery image...rebooted without a problem. I tried wiping and reflashing, but still the constant reboot. So I took the advice on the wiki and flashed the DecaFuct-12222010-691.zip kernel. My phone rebooted and did not start the cycling, so I thought it was an improvement. However, 1/2 an hour later, it's still sitting at the HTC logo and the power/home does not reboot into recovery. Nor does trying to adb find any devices.
Apparently I haven't posted enough on these forums to be able to post to the dev thread. But I've done some base development work on the phone and have been using adb for over a year now. Any help on getting back to a working phone would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, a coworker manager to get the buttons to respond. Yay! At least I'm back to recovery and can push a different ROM. Tho not CM7 since it keeps rebooting constantly!

First, power off and remove the battery. Make sure the USB is not plugged in
This is why you get 3 vibrations and no power on. If it does this again, remove the battery and start over
With the power off and the USB unplugged, hold Vol Up and press power on (End key)
It should then boot into fastboot. (a white page with green letters) At this time, plug the USB in (should change from Fastboot to Fastboot USB) and run the RUU .5 or .6 from your computer.
AT some point the RUU install will say waiting for bootloader. When this happens, you will already be in bootloader (Fastboot USB)
This should work to get you back to fully unrooted stock ROM. From there, reroot, install a custom recovery and rom.
Let me know if this works

here's what happens.
1. Remove battery
2. Replace battery
3. Press and hold volume up
4. While holding volume up, press and hold end key to turn unit on.
5. Unit vibrates 3 times and never powers on
This is without USB plugged in.
I asked the guy who owns the phone what he was doing, he said he had flashed ASOP Gingerbread or something and it never worked again.

Interesting. Mine only does the 3 vibrate thing when I have the USB plugged in and I am trying to enter Fastboot. I unplug the USB, remove the battery, replace the battery, hold vol up and press end. Bing, right into Fastboot.
Do you know if he has the ENG SPL/S-Off installed? If not, the issue may lay in that. Not for sure though.
Also, it may have to do with the way the phone was originally rooted, that has an affect on things as well. Some of the overclocked kernels have an affect on boot. Some Heros wont boot with the kernel set to over 691.
I have installed every build pf ASOP 2.3.2 GB that has been posted, now grated they each had there issues but none of them put me in a loop or froze the phone.
I would also suggest downloading android commander to your computer. Just Google android commander and you will find it. With this program you can boot to bootloader. If you are getting to the HTC screen then Android Commander should recognize the phone. It is a great program.

Not sure, but you may try removing the sdcard and/or putting a different one in. Or when the phone first gets to the HTC screen press and hold the menu button and keep holding it.

android commander relies on adb..i've already tried adb and it can't see the device. already tried that the first night. I think I'm about out of options.

Interesting you say that. Here are 2 snips taken at the same time. One of my ADB shell showing no devics found and the other of my android command shell clearly showing connection to the device.
Try the android commander. It is a great program and it is GUI based.
Let me know
Edit: Even stranger, although ADB shows no devices, if I type LS, a list of the phone directories shows up.

Have a macbook. Installed ADB. Using TWRP I installed HTC Dumblock, which then erased the internal memory (as expected).
I tried to sideload a ROM through ADB. Sideload worked, hit 100%. The screen on my device was off, so I pressed the power key, expecting the display to turn on. It didn't. Instead, when I press the power key, the device simply vibrates (as though I pressed one of the hardware keys).
I do not know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT 1: When I type in adb devices in terminal, it shows my device, as well as the term RECOVERY.
Edit 2: I was able to adb command force reboot recovery

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.

I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.

What should I do if I can't even get to the boot screen? I tried holding down the power and volume up buttons, but it just restarts and goes back to the same HTC load screen, what do I do????
Hi,
I'm very new to rooting and such and only followed guides a read forum posts to get to where I am now.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and SU, the bootloader is unlocked but no S-OFF (don't think it's possible on the mini 2 yet anyway). The new OTA update last night installed when I got home and charged my phone, then the phone just shut off and every time I tried to boot it would go straight into TWRP without showing splash screen or bootloader (even when holding power and the volume down button). When it's in this state the touch screen doesn't work and the power button only locks the phone. Holding power + vol down in this state doesn't do anything.
I have to let the power drain completely to get the phone to boot back up but it immediately boots back into recovery and then I can use ADB to force the bootloader to appear, but when I flashed the stock recovery that I found in these boards, it messes up the screen and all it shows is static with some artifacts. I have to let the power drain again to get back into the bootloader, and from the bootloader I can get the android OS to boot but I'd like to fix this completely.
I guess I should also mention that even after flashing the stock recovery the phone will still boot back into TWRP after I let the power drain so I think that means that the stock recovery isn't taking?
The twrp problem you mentioned is known, hope it'll be fixed soon. Are you sure you typed the right command to flash stock recovery? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you get stuck, the combination is power button and volume up, not volume down...

Unfortunately I was using the wrong ADB command, I was typing "fastboot boot recovery.img". This seems to have fixed the problem so far but I have yet to try rewriting TWRP back to the phone and I probably won't until theres a fix or unless I need to.
Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem. It happens when I reboot with my phone when charging.
You can reboot your phone by holding vol up+power button.
I'm trying to install a custom ROM onto my Xperia XZ1 Compact but I got stuck in the beginning. The first step would be to unlock the bootloader. I followed multiple tutorials but none of them worked for me, because I can't get my phone to reboot into fastboot mode. I tried two ways basically:
1. Turn off device, hold Volume down button for 2 secs, plug USB while holding the button. Nope, nothing happens, the only thing I get is the green led is on, I guess indicating that the phone is being charged.
2. Turn off device, plug USB and launch the command adb reboot fastboot (My computer is running Linux but I think it doesn't matter). The phone turns off but does not restart. If I just do adb reboot it reboots in normal mode. I also tried adb reboot bootloader but it just turns off the phone.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

It seems that this issue is now solved. Black screen with green led on means that your phone is in fastboot mode. Do not expect any feedback on the screen.

I see, thanks. Anyway something is going really bad here, I wish I had never started this. I have managed to unlock the bootloader but the phone does not work now. It hangs at the XPERIA logo and does not respond to power button. It only responds to power + vol up + vol down which restarts the system and hangs again at logo
