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 and can not power off

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.
Regards,

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.

no. if it turns on you should be ok. try holdind power+vol down to get into bootloader then try toolkit if it just stays on waiting for device press power button to get into fastboot mode from bootloader

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.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.

Guide me with steps please

[Q] Xperia Z dead :(

Ok guys. I installed the update named "C6603_10.3.1.A.1.10_Orange FR" with Flashtool. It went well during the process. Then it restarted. After restarting it started showing the Orange boot image. And when it booted completely something came up saying NFC update failed (00006). And then it started restarting every minute. I cant even restart the flashing procedure with this thing just restarting. Cant go in any setting it will just start restarting. And there is not network signal on the top right side as it shud be showing.
Please Please tell me anything helpful with which i can atleast go back to 4.1.2 and get the hell out of this problem.

If you completely reboot it in the way I said earlier does it do the same when you start it again?
when flashing are you erasing all user data etc.?

Weird bootloop that I've never seen before

Some months ago I dropped my phone at ocean and after stopped work because the USB part was broken. Last week I found an assistance with this part to replace and then my Xiaomi back to work normally.
I reset today and start using normally, but suddenly it stops worked with a boot loop, I couldn't use fastboot or recovery mode because the boot loop didn't stop at all, even with no battery the loop still occurring.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Anyone knows what to do?

Connect the device to pc and run fastboot devices
While its saying waiting for devices
Hold power and vol down till the pc catches the bootloader.
Maybe it will stop the looping.

Hello, I tried but no success because the loop stop everything I try to do.
I can access the recovery mode, but can't select any option because it reboots again. It's like rebooting every 5 seconds. Tried 'fastboot devices' but didn't show waiting for devices, then I tried 'fastboot getvar all' and worked to show the message besides couldn't stop the loop.
Thanks for your help, I'll keep trying.

Fixed guys!!!!!
The problem was in the power button malfunction, the device was loop restarting because the power button was in some way pressed. I opened, removed and installed the button again and worked =D
