bricked HD

So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!

Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.

Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)

Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any

if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...

Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")

intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""

Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I dont have W7 but would imagine it will be similar.

I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.

Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)

Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.

succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")

I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

Bricked Droid 3

Can't get my phone into recovery at all after trying to get the new up date. Only way it comes on is by plugging it into the wall, and the only way to get it to turn off is to pull the battery. Besides the Motorola sign when it is on, that is all it does right now. I think what caused this is using safestrap instead of boot strap. Here are more details from a convo with an acquaintance. BTW, I've tried the technique for getting it to boot in recovery a 1000 times but have been unsucessful.

homescreen looks sick man. Liking the launcher too.
Been waiting on the Galaxy Nexus...going to drop my X for this.
What's up?
Thanks. Btw, I fell asleep waiting on the files to transfer to my phone. When I woke up it was bricked
I backed up EVERYTHING on the sd, I just need to figure out how to get the phone past the bootloop now. Hopefully I can get it done connected to the laptop, but any advice would be appreciated. The guys on xda were a little vaugue on the directions.
Did you clear data/cache before installing the files?
I would boot back into recovery and do this. It won't delete the files you just installed, just all the old data (system settings, etc) in your phone.
I'd try a few battery pulls first.
If that doesn't work, enter into recovery from here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...-recovery.html
And wipe data/cache, then reboot.
If I plug it into a power source, the motorola emblem comes up, but nothing else. It won't even power off. Power + X or M doesn't do a damn thing, and if I plug it into my computer it also does nothing at all. The laptop doesn't even recognize it or even try to charge it as far as I can tell.
After Power + X did you hit the volume buttons in the guide like it says?
You probably did but just wanted to make sure.
You're only other choice seems to flash a fastboot file.
These are about the easiest instructions you'll find.
I've never done on a D3, but looks right to me.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-...959-and-56890/
Don't turn on your phone to charge it, leave it off and charge it.
Unless you can tell me how to install/uninstall programs located on the internal and external memory of the phone when I can't get it to turn on (even in recovery mode), I'm fairly certain I'm screwed. I believe that my only hope originally was to be able to access the memory via laptop to be able to get it into recovery. That ROM I put on had to use this http://www.hash-of-codes.com/files/Droid3Safestrap.apk, which won't work for the factory update, which has to use this http://download.clockworkmod.com//te...3Bootstrap.apk. So even though I have all the programs that I need on the memory of the phone to get the factory update then reinstall the custom ROM, I can't get the phone on so that I can install and uninstall the programs necessary for recovery. I should never have messed with my phone when I was half asleep to begin with.

Well, I got it unbricked, but it was a real trick to get it done. Like I mentioned before, I suspected an issue with battery power, because when it was plugged in for charging, the screen stayed on with the motorola logo displayed. As everyone knows, this uses a lot of power. Even being plugged in to the wall (phone WOULD NOT turn off), it was using most of the power that was supposed to be charging the battery. This is what I did to bypass the problem.
1. Let charge all night
2. Hit X + power (M + power WOULD NOT work) simultanously,then slowly inserted phone end of USB cord that was already plugged into the wall
3. After the Motorola logo displayed on the screen, I closed the keyboard and waited for the Andoid avatar to be displayed. Once he popped up, I hit the volume button up and down at the same time, which FINALLY got it into recovery.
4. Factory reset by toggleing to that option and hitting power button.
5. Once factory reset was complete, I selected the ZIPPED leak update and hit the power button.
6. After update completed, system reboot. Phone kept its root status and the DarkDroid ROM

Btw, does this info look right (asking anyone who knows). Phone is supposed to be updated with Verizon update, rooted, and running DarkDroid ROM

Verizon is weird about their update names. if youre going from 1.1.1 to 2.2.2, then the update name would be Verizon.1.1.1 I have no idea why.

Anyone else installed that update? Because i did, and after instaling the update files in recovery mode the phone rebooted and now is dead, and by dead I mean no charging, no download mode, no recovery.... not even that short vibration when you push the power button

Never use ota updates with custom recovery!

I had stock recovery, maybe the problem was the XXLD1 open europe firmware I flashed insted of my region firmware XXLF4. Now I'm just curios what that update (17.8 mb) was suposed to change

You probably downloaded a corrupt update .
I give up writing anymore signatures.

Hello, this is my first post here on XDA
A friend of mine has the same problem like the OP and "opthy":
I installed the XLD1 FW over his old FW because of rooting (without increasing the binary counter). I said to him he shouldnt do FW Updates OTA from now on. And what do you think he did, huh? :silly:
The phone rebooted into recovery he said, did the FW update and tried to reboot, but it couldnt reboot. He gave it to me, and I tried to get it into recovery = didnt work! Tried to get it into Download-Mode = didnt work! The phone does nothing now, i tried to charge it, but the screen stays black.
I just wanted to ask you, if theres anything I can do. All things that have to do with download-mode e.g. ODIN or recovery via KIES cannot work because I cant put it in download-mode.
Thanks in advance
5-7
P.S.: Im an P990 owner and I had many many problems with it until I got it working properly, but such a problem, that the screen always stays black and the device is "not a bit" booting, I never had before

Could You share any changes you notice after the upgrade??
The update have also popped on my phone yesterday. Is it really safe to update? By the way mine is XXLD1 and the update is to XXLK2. I'm really scared to update because I bought my phone from the grey market(much cheaper hahaha). Another reason is I want a white SGSA and the only one available was from europe and I'm in the Philippines so warranty might not be on my reach.
Is it worth the upgrade? cause if its not the I would just wait for the JB update next year.

[Q] AT&T stock rom reboot issue? any fix?

Hi all,
I am on AT&T ICS stock rom. Is there any solution to fix the random reboot issue? It is a real pain when you pick up the phone and find it is rebooting...
The phone will randomly reboot. It is totally random, it may happen 3 times a day or 1 time a week, it may happen when you are using it or in your pocket, and I can tell when I see a system message coming up: your phone is recovered from an error. I am really frustrated...
I searched on the forum but found no clue to fix it... Please help!
PS: I flashed CM10 and the in call volume issue bothers me. It is a perfect rom otherwise.
Thanks!

You can try flash ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631499 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585373.
If your problem doesn't solve please check your hardware. I think you have trouble with your hardware.

The at&t stock rom is trash. So many issues. I flashed albinoman's cm 10.1 rom and have never looked back. I just use the speakerphone and put it against my ear backwards if I can't hear during a call. I'd rather do that then deal with the constant freezes and reboots (with 5-10 minute reboot time).

Why not try the Bell Canada RUU ? Are you S-Off ? You may have to be to flash the radio firmware, but if you're super-cid then the phone should accept a ROM from any carrier. See the attached instructions re: super-cid.
Bell has a few advantages right out of the box: tethering works, so does wifi hotspot.
You can try flashing it with super-cid but S-ON and see if it errors out. The AT&T radio should work just fine with the Bell firmware, unless someone can advise otherwise.
Rather than saying "4G", it will show "LTE" and there's some Bell bloatware installed which can safely be removed after you root again.

Spaz... Your PDF talks about clockworkmod... A vivid nono...
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 4

I've done the process with WCX already installed.
Just start from Step 4: Write Super CID if you already have a recovery installed. As mentioned in the post above, CWM does not play nice with the Vivid/Raider.
The .pdf is just a file I created from the thread here on XDA (search is down again) which I cannot locate. I am not the author of the post.
Also to note: The Bell RUU is ICS (official) and does not have the call drop issue that seems to plague the CM roms, but it is not as striking as the CM roms either.

I messed up really bad. No download mode.

So, I was trying to update and root my friend's phone. It was in 2.3.6 or whatever the default Android was on it .
First of all, I couldn't get into download mode and other way than using ADB.
I wanted to root it. I folowed this guide, but the phone's baseband was not on the list. I just decided to go with the Hungarian once, since I'm Hungarian. After flashing the sound of the phone was bad and it was losing signal all the time. It could receive messages but couldn't send any.
After this, I've updated to 4.1 from Sammobie where I found a Hungarian firmware for the matching carrier. (T-Mobile) Still no signal.
Last, I tried to fix the signal by flashing the old 2.3.6 version, a Hungarian one with matching carrier.
Now the phone got briced and freezes on the Samsung logo. When charging it only shows that "loading" icon. I can't access download mode in any phisical way. Tried. Can't access through ABD because the phone isn't booting.
So, if I do this USB Jig, will my phone boot automatically to Download mode when connected, or I shouldn't bother with it? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!

Now the phone got briced and freezes on the Samsung logo. When charging it only shows that "loading" icon. I can't access download mode in any phisical way. Tried. Can't access through ABD because the phone isn't booting.
So, if I do this USB Jig, will my phone boot automatically to Download mode when connected, or I shouldn't bother with it? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!

Try to remove the batt. For 10 mins and place it back in the phone.
Then try to boot into download mode again

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it right now.
But I'm not sure if it will work because I couldn't boot into Download mode by buttons even when the phone was working well.
I've tried these.

USB Jig it's just to force boot in download mode, are you sure that keys work?

Thanks for repying!
Yeah I'm pretty sure that they work. Before I tried to flash back the 2.3.6 the buttons had worked perfectly. I couldn't use the buttons to get into download or recoery mode even when the phone was "intact".

While trying to get into download mode, be sure that cable is not connected to phone, and release all three buttons 1 second after you feel vibration

Thanks for suggesting, but I couldn't get into download mode even when I stopped pressing the buttons 1s after the vibration...

I guess it's an issue by param.lfs, there's nothing you can do without an USB Jig now

I see. I'm about to make the USB Jig that I've linked in before. Hope It will work.
Also, what kind of things modify that file? Custom ROMs, basebands?

That file (if not manually touched) is touched only through Odin tar.md5.
If can help you, this is my homemade Jig

Solder quality isn't perfect lol
I used 3 resistors, one 1KOhm and two 150KOhm in series to have 301KOhm (without calculating tolerance, 5%)

Well, I only flashed one file, which I assume was the whole firmware in one package. (I9070XXLK2_I9070TMHLK1_HOME.tar.md5) If you mean this, maybe this was the problem.
Anyway, thanks for the images, altrough I read that I need exactly 300k Ohm.
Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for your pics man! I made one myself and it works nicely. The only problem left is that I can't enter Recovery mode...
