Re-download a rom zip, boot to recovery, wipe everything, then flash the rom
(assuming you can still get to recovery [HOME+POWER] since it wasn't mentioned)

wiping before restoring nandroids/flashing a new Rom?
what recovery are you using?

just FYI, next time you ask for help you should post some of the answers to kyouko's questions without anyone having to ask. we can't help you as well if we don't know these things.

I put 5$ on the ROM he was flashing uses an uncapped kernel...

3 letter word; RUU.
Start from scratch and be careful what you flash before you flash it
Happy flashing buddy. Be careful!

Maybe you just need to let it sit on the HTC screen for a while longer to see if it finally starts booting up. Sometimes it can take a couple of minutes. Try not to watch it, if you can.

I've had them go as long 5 mins. or so

No access to bootlader; CWM only on ICS

So, to avoid bricking my device I relocked the bootloader, used the stock RUU file and upgraded to ICS.
Worked as a charm.
Installed a custom ROM, worked fine.
Installed another one, was great.
And then I changed to Dark Raider (link) and after installation completes my device goes black entirely. I can access CWM Recovery and everything but not the bootloader menu or anything else.
No matter what other ROM I try to flash, it doesnt work, and I can't get RUU going because I can't access flashboot.
Any ideas?

Which kernel did you flash? Did you do any other steps before or after installing the last ROM like factory reset, etc. Just trying to brainstorm some ideas.

I flashed the boot.img as usual that comes with the ROM, then did all the wiping they say we should on the main thread, then flashed the ROM.
What is really weird is that this is something I've done countless times before and never had any trouble. Even on ICS.

Oh and the device is still recognised by the computer, although not by the RUU file itself.
CWM Recovery works just fine but nothing else.

How are you getting to cwm? Normally you only access it through hboot. Are you doing the button combo?

When I plug it in via USB, it automatically turns the phone on into CWM.
It's just like when they had that bug on CWM Recovery that wouldn't let us charge our phones when they were off without automatically going into Recovery.

I just want a way to make the RUU file recognise the phone so I can go back to stock. Anyone?

in recovery theres an option in developer menu to reboot into bootloader....have you tried this

What exactly is that developer menu?
Because I've been everywhere in Recovery and can't seem to find Reboot into Bootloader. I find Reboot Recovery alright, into the Advanced options, and several ++GO BACK++s that leads me to nowhere. I keep pressing it while on the main screen of Recovery and it just blinks the screen and that's all.

Sounds like you flashed an outdated recovery. How exactly are you getting into recovery?

By plugging in my phone into the computer via USB. It automatically goes into CWM Recovery.
I always try to follow the most up-to-date topics but rooting HTC Vivid on ICS was a bit weird and I used a tool I randomly came across with and had never used before, some SuperToolv3 or whatever it's called.
I was trying to flash the stoc AT&T ROM via .zip but apparently I can't access my external sd card via CWM due to the sweet fact that apparently iGo created a ext_sd folder by itself, and when I try to access the external sd card it goes into iGo's useless folder.
Grand.
I can't just return my phone to HTC since I bought this phone from a friend and over here it's not sold, and I'm not going to US or anywhere soon so I'm screwed.

Well you are not using the wcxrecovery if that option is not there....unsure what to [email protected] point

Wild Child can't help me. I'm ready to throw my phone away then.
Can't I just install the other recovery through the one I already have? Okay, I know the answer but I really had to try.

If you cant get into hboot then we have a big issue...cant flash anything....if we could get you into fastboot menu then we could get you at least back on the ruu....what does it do when you hold power and volume down buttons

You do know how to get into hboot right?
Unplug it from the USB. Pull your battery out put it back in. Then with it still unplugged from USB press and hold the volume down button while simultaneously holding down the power button. Keep holding them both down for a couple seconds then hboot should load up.

Yes, I do know how to get into hboot.
I press both buttons and nothing happens.
The RUU file was the 1st thing i tried, but it doesn't recognise the phone since it's not on the mode it should be for using the RUU.
Grrrr. And I'm not even in a country where this phone is sold so I really can't see how I'll get this fixed.

Well, I'm not THAT noob. I know how to do most things. I've played around with this phone for a few months now and never had a problem with it.
I flashed the kernel properly and then I flashed the Dark Raider ROM the way I always do. Do you think is there any possibility that this was caused by Dark Raider?
I couldn't've done anything wrong. I never did. I wouldn't wait months of practice to finally screw anything up now.

I was just making sure since some people don't know that you can't enter hboot wih USB or a power cable connected to the phone.

And it's funny 'cause a guy in the other topic (I kinda think it's the ROM's fault so I posted there as well, maybe the dev has any clue) told me I should plug the phone in and try to get into hboot.
Well, I tried just for the hell of it and obviously didn't work.
Every time I plug the phone in either to a charger or a computer I'm taken straight to CWM Recovery. Like that old bug it had that we couldn't charge the phone off without going into Recovery.
I left it in Recovery but I'm not sure if it's charging, the battery wasn't that low but after all this time it probably is now, so it doesn't hurt to leave it there.

But, like, if this was a complete brick I wouldn't even be getting into Recovery, right? And the computer wouldn't be recognising it.
Isn't there a way to access the internal memory of the phone through the computer? I'd like to try one last thing but iGo created a ext_sd folder inside the phone and now when I try to access the REAL external SD i'm taken to the iGo folder.
And I only saw that now.
Or maybe a way to make the phone recognisable by the RUU .exe file?
Apparently a series of unfortunate things led me to this.

[Q] Verizon SCH-i800 Bricked with back light off

Hi Guys!
Two days ago i tryed to replace the kernel of my SCH-i800 using ODIN and now it is apparently briked.
It is able to go to download mode and since then i am trying to flash lots of ROMs, kernels, PIT etc.
Some times, depending of the ROM I use to flash, it can boot, but the screen is black, like if the back light is turned off. I can either interact with the capacitive screen, but I can't see anything. Is is the closest i could get a unbricking.
Probably it can enter in recovery mode, but I can not interact with the menus because is completely black.
Someone could help me? Someone had the same issue and know what is happening with the back light?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Priyana, but I already tried this method before and it did not work.
I think that it is a problem with the bootloader files, but i cant find a link with the complete rom with the bootloader files.
Could you help me?

Unfortunately I don't have enough resources for CDMA tabs.
Yeah, you maybe need a complete ROM.
But since you can enter download mode, I would hazard a guess that your bootloader is intact.

Can't access recovery.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the Xperia, came from a desire HD, and loving it!
I've flashed roms to this phone already, but ended up going back to to the latest stock Rom and since then I can't get into the recovery. I don't know if I'm back to stock recovery or not, but I've tried all the button combos, apps and adb and I just can't seem to get in! Also, I can't remember if I relocked my bootloader.. whoops..
Would flashing dual recovery sort this? Or would doing so with a locked boot loader mess with things?
Also, would flashing the recovery wipe anything from my phone? Not that it's a problem, I just don't wanna dive in with no back ups
Thanks in advance

Hi friend
You can flash a dual recovery with locked BL . I did so and it was a success . ALWAYS backup your data before doing such things :laugh:

Cheers mate! I know to always back up, but I get very little time to do this stuff, working a lot, I just wanted to know if I could get away with it, Hahaa :')
