Hello,
I tried to update the radio and the SPL version on my Tattoo. Everything went fine until I had to reboot my phone. It shut down alright, but it never powered on again.
These are the following problems I am having with my Tattoo at the moment:
Cannot power on phone.
Cannot boot into recovery mode.
Cannot boot into FastBoot.
When I connect it to my computer via USB, nothing happens.
The only thing that it's responding to is when I connect my it to my charger.
Does anyone have a solution or is my phone dead forever?
Thanks ahead!
bump? anyone?
Send it back to HTC. If anyone can do anything about it they can. There's nothing else you can do. Sorry
boo.. that sucks..
Well, thanks anyway
Ehm, I don't want to post a New Thread so I'm gonna ask here:
Does anyone have the pinout for the Tattoo?
Take a look at this. I guess they fix such things (but you never know if they just are after your money. http://www.ort-jtag.com/index.php
Yeah I saw that already. Also, there is a file name Tattoo Jtag on their website in the Support section. However, to access that section you have to enter your products serial number (which is I'm guessing the phone's serial number). I have tried several serial numbers (including mine) and all of them were 'invalid' so I never checked the files out.
Also, they only have one thing in the shop which is a kit and it costs $330 so no thanks
I have a similar problem, I would like to share my knowledge although I must be completely out of way.
My experience is based on the BeagleBoard and Angstrom so I really don't know the HTC HW and Android at all...
- The device boots from an xloader that instructs the device how to proceed with the boot
- the bootloader takes place (great u-boot in the beagleboard ?? in the HTC phone) the bootloader allows for ROM or kernel+rootfs flashing and much more
- now the kernel is loaded.....
User mode applications do not allow to have access to the memory area where xloader and u-boot lie so they should be safe all the time to allow for device reflashing.
So we should have access to the device via bootloader anytime if we knew how... maybe somebody can help us further.

Same here...Exact same issue...No Recovery mode...No USB Connectivity, Screen turns on but is blank, alhough I did see Tattoo popping up initially but not any more...All I can see is the LCD back light turns on...Battery does charge...Also when I try to enter Recovery mode screen keeps blinking as if it is trying to restart again and again...Someone help
similar problem here, but i get absolutely no response from the phone, it doesn't even recognize the charger. do i just throw it away and buy a decent one or is there a solution?
Sparky the only way for now to fix that click is to bring it to some service point that have that ort jtag, because only way to fix that is to writte new boot sector on phone . Im sure that i know at least 2 services that have ort jtag in Novi Sad . Look for marvel *Miroslav in Ns, or send me private message
same thing happened to me
just this morning, and in desperation I tried hard to remove the batt cover (prob pressed some of buttons, I felt a jerk and ho it was back in amon ra`s recovery, nect time I just removed the battery waited for 30 secs, then press off&home and hold it till recovery came back) but for good half hour NO REACTIONS , ABSOLUTE BRICK, nothing when I put the usb in PC or in socket, dead screen, no sounds and no reaction to ANY combination of keypress. I guess you could call me lucky (in last few days I flashed at least 3 versions of froyo roms, this afternoon I bought =8GB class4 Kingston, formated it in PC FAT32 default size, copied EVE. from my 2gig rom then just turned it down (yes I am brave) and put the 8gig in tattoo, it works like a charm (finger crossed it will continue)
So is there an available Jtag for the Tattoo yet?
I'm in the same situation. No recovery no fast boot, Damm!
I`ve update psfreedom with psgroove_hermes_v4 zip file then my tattoo reboot and now I only get the Tatto title screen but nothing happends.
Somebody have clue to give back life my phone.
Thanks!
if you can get to the title screen, that means you can connect it to your pc via USB and recover from a backup (I hope you made one)

You have to enter in fastboot.
Hold volume down and turn on phone.
Cheers
Sorry but as i said before, I can't access to recovery menu neither fast boot menu.
Hello guys,
I 'm experiencing the problem as I cant bring my ARC to flash mode,
Can some body share the experience to me?
I tried [return + USB] and [Menu + USB], both fail for flash mode.
Kindly to share the procedure for unlocking the simlock in arc
Is your device sim-unlocked?
To get into flash mode, you turn off the phone and after 5 second press and hold the back button(far left button) and then plug the usb into the phone.

I had a similar problem when I was trying to flash my x10a to get rid of the AT&T crapware and outdated 1.6. Here is my experience with the x10a last year when I got it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10198269#post10198269
The issue had something to do with the version of windows I was running, and the drivers on SEUS not being compatible. The flashtool could never find it, and the phone would get out of flashmode in 10 seconds, and actually turn on.
I ended up using the non graphic flashtool as the alternative option, and it solved my problem. I don't know if you have that option for the Xperia Arc, but I suggest you look into that. Hope you find a solution to your problem. Good luck.
Ok so, where do I start. My sister decided she wants a custom ROM on her galaxy s. So I rooted it, and after much trying, discovered that I could not get into download mode. So I flashed through ODIN, believing that I had now fixed the problem. I then went along, used ADB to get into download mode, installed clockworkmod, and tried to flash CM7. This is where things went pear shaped, the phone will now not do anything, If I switch it on, i just get the black and white galaxy s screen, and nothing else. I cant get into download mode with the 3 button combo, and if i connect it to the USB it does not connect to the PC in any way, is it completely bricked? Or is there some magical way to fix it???
Thanks hope I get some help
UPDATE: I made a USB Jig and it worked perfectly! The phone is all good now thanks everyone. This thread can be deleted if needs be!
I guess you need to buy or make a USB JIG!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
edit: You can also try removing the battery for 1 minute, hold power, vol. down and home key and then put the battery in.
Buy/Make a USB Jig
When uve got ur Jig - Remove Battery - Reinsert Battery - put Jig in - Don't Touch any Buttons - When Download Modes comes up remove Jig - Flash With a Stock Rom From samfirmware
the USB Jig Will Force the Phone into Download Mode
ok ya, i know about the USb jig, only thing is, any idea where I can get one in South Africa? lol, my soldering skills are not up to scratch?

Well.. ebay?
There are many "technical support shops" where you can drop your phone and they will re-flash it for free (as long as you have the bill). They have their own "usb jig".
What about recovery mode (hold power, vol. up and home key) ?
Also retry to get into dl mode several times...it might not have worked the first time...good luck for you..
got one from ebay
look for "Fix Download Mode USB Jig Samsung Galaxy S"
it worked like a charm
Try this.
Glad it worked for you.
A quick question about where you bought the jig bits?

hi, I just wanted to know how easy it was to find the parts for making the jig, I'm based in Johannesburg and am looking to make a jig for my Galaxy S2 to clear kernel counts and the Exclamation triangle.
Any help would be great thanks.
hello
After use of ACE Advanced Hack Kit that I think might be useful to fix the problem wifi and bluetooth was not working
Former ROM update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-DesireHD-signed
I did a radio update and then HBOOT
My Desire HD does not boot, it gets stuck at startup, HTC logo white screen, after 2s 2nd vibration volume keys - + does not work when I connect DHD not even recognized by the pc, is there a solution please help me
I tried the UMT, the fastboot by adb, I believe that DHD must be in charge mode or bootloader mode so that it works
I always try to reconnect to the DHD with the PC (windows 7), if t is an OS that it can know the DHD in off mode or the mode "LOCKED")

I can not do, my PC does not detect the DHD
Hi,
I have the same problem. I ran the ace hack kit on an already rooted phone! It was a big mistake. Currently the phone is not detected by PC and "Recovery" and "Factory Reset" does not work.
By the way, when the bootloader is running, the pc detect the phone, but I don't know how can I do in this situation.
Any help plz.
Download a 1.32 RUU. Select "Fastboot" when you're in the bootloader. Connect the phone with ur pc and run the ruu.
I do what i want, because I can.
first of all, i'm sorry if i'm posting this o the wrong section (i'm new here seeking help)
second, I NEED HELP!
i tried using Dr. Fone for recovery and unlock but i'm getting "flash recovery packaged failed" on the end. when on recovery device mode, i can hear the new device/unplugged sound.
if only i can use OTG and mouse to enable USB debugging. but obviously i cant see. when i open the phone normally and try using screenshot, i can hear the sound. so that means that my phone is not dead and only have broken lcd/screen. i also cant open the device folder because its locked (i think its locked). i also looked some class a ldc/screen digitizer but its kinda expensive and going to technician doubles the cost. from this point, i don't know what to do anymore. i just want to get important pictures and video. been trying to find a solution for hours.
I have not seen a method to enable USB debugging without a working screen.
