I had almost exactly the same problem, nothing works for me. Phone keeps rebooting after HTC logo. recovery is no go.
HTC service center needs to replace the motherboard in the end.
good luck

Are you certain that you cannot even get into fastboot? Take battery out, unplug the usb cable and put the battery back in to stop it from getting stuck in a reboot cycle and then hold back and power on.
If you cannot even get into Fastboot then thats about as bricked as you can get i'm afraid.

I performed a SPL flash, the phone rebooted ,it took long time rebooting so i got panicked i pulled out the battery ( wasn't a smart move ).
tried to start the phone.. now i was stuck at the first splash screen.
-pulled out the battery and back again start the phone... stuck at the first splash screen or boot looping endlessly,
-did all possible key combinations to get in fastboot, recovery mode... nothing.
-cried for help, got directed to a post similar to mo my case... worked for me hope it dose for everyone else.
here is what i did (followed):
-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.
-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).
-I removed the battery.
-went sleep
-woke up in the morning, went back to my old duct taped SE phone
-came home in the evening
-I Connected USB.
-I inserted the battery.
-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.
-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image!
flashed again but this time checked all steps twice before i check them a third time, and flashed the SPL and radio and the rom.

sounds like you may have not installed radio/spl in the proper order.. shouldnt be a problem if you can get into fastboot... please tell us exactly what you did, and in what order..

hey,.. sorry for the long time since last time..
i sended in my phone
i couln't get into either fastboot or nothing else.. the CMD said waiting for device when tried to fastboot while in logo..
the only thing i could get into (that booted otherwise) was the action + power
i first updated followed a toturial where i updated my phone.. first spl, then radio, and then recovery img..
but since i read about people having probs with a radio where the phone boots but after a 4 secs restart i installed a new radio and thats where the probs started happening.. and then i could not get past the boot logo..
thx for the many answers and sorry i first come back now to see ..
if they cant fix my phone i will try follow ur guide Ch3w

BTW
as soon as i get my phone back i am up for another go i think..
i got a sapphire 32a.. can anyone give a link to a good tutorial?
thx

From my limited knowledge, u are always supposed to update radio first then spl then recovery.

I followed that exact one.. but when the 6.35.10.18 failed (kept reboot every 3-5 sec) i decided to install the 6.35.08.29 instead and thats where it failed.. :/

THIS! NOW! COME ON!
This is my problem also! Please help me to un-brick.
As I saw on youtube, it's a 'semi-brick'.

It's not a brick if you can go into fastboot.

Sorry to hear mate, hope it gets fixed. Don't really have any helpful suggestions for the un-bricking part, but next time upgrading radio etc., I'd suggest using Eyegor's radio switcher. Although if you sent it to the dealer, you'll probably have to re-root if they fixed it (but I know, that you know how to do that, you helped me in my early days )
I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Try this. i tried and it worked for me. press the power button and home together and push the battery in at that time. it would take you to recovery .

Ok, the guy I sent it to, couldn't make something, so the phone will return to me, possibly tomorrow.

Galaxy S won't start up! Help

Hi. A few days ago my Galaxy S stopped working. This is what happens:
The phone turns on, shows the Galaxy S logo and makes the usual sound, then a black screen appears. The back and menu touch buttons are lit up. It stays like this forever and nothing else happens.
Some info about my phone, it is the Bell i9000m version. I first got the updated Bell 2.1 firmware and about a week ago upgraded to Froyo through Kies. I haven't rooted the phone, or applied a lagfix or anything like that. My phone is completely stock other than the official firmware.
I can confirm that I HAVE gotten it into download mode (volume+home+power) and it shows that screen with the green android and text that says "Downloading. Do not shut off target" but that's it. Kies doesn't recognize the phone, even when it's in download mode.
I've already contacted Bell, and they want to take it in for repairs. From what I've read on this forum, I might be experiencing the corrupt SD card problem. Is there anything I can do to try and fix it before sending the phone off to bell? The loaner phone they gave me is awful.
Any help is appreciated.

Yup, sounds like the problem I had when my phone died. To make sure though, get into recovery mode, Volume up + Home key + Power. When the white Samsung name appears, let go the home button until the Samsung name disappears. The phone should go into recovery mode. If not, try it again but this time release the power button instead of the home button.
Once in recovery, go to factory reset and click the home button (This will wipe all data from your phone so you will have to reload all apps and data you installed). If it works, then you most likely have to re-flash the phone, but if you get a message like this...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
then the internal memory is most probably cooked.
I have read that by using Odin and flashing the phone with JL2, the phone can self-repair the dead SD issue. Read about it here, the posters name is cloudrainstar, about half way down the page.
Where are you located? I am in Montreal and brought my phone into the service center and after 2 days they replaced it with a new phone. I feel lucky that some people have waited for weeks and I only waited 2 days.
Samsung - Service Absolut
3391 Griffith Street,
St. Laurent, Quebec,

if you are not in Montreal Contact Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. @ 1-800-726-7864. They will send you a shipping label to return your phone directly to Samsung.
Good Luck,
Ian

I tried the recovery thing just now. The factory reset happened very quickly but it said successful. However, this hasn't fixed the problem. Does that mean I'm ok to try and re-flash?
Bell tech support told me to try and factory reset, which I did. They said this is actually an INTERNATIONAL issue caused by the SOFTWARE. He said nothing about a dead SD card. Strange. Any other suggestions?
By the way, he said I shouldn't deal with Samsung directly because my warranty is with Bell. I live in Toronto if that makes a difference.

From what I have been reading, Bell has really bad tech support when it comes to the SGS. Contact Samsung at 1-800-726-7864 and ask them what is the best thing for you to do, send it to them or to Bell. I have heard about people waiting for more than 5 weeks to get a phone back from Bell.
As for it being an international issue, that is possible, but for the majority of people here on XDA, the problem is with the I9000M, Bell's version of the phone.
If you want to try to flash it your self, get the JL2 file from here and use Odin to flash it. Get Odin here.
Read up on flashing your phone

as I am not experienced enough to give flashing instructions.
Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?
Ian

Hmm, I WANT to try and flash the phone but I'm really worried about messing it up. Can somebody tell me the possible risks of re-flashing it myself?
From what I understand, if I send my phone to samsung all they're going to do is reflash it anyways.

An update. I didn't see it at first, but in the recovery menu before using the system restore or other functions, it DID show that Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 error (no such file or directory). I guess I'm out of luck then.
To any bell galaxy s users, do you know if it's fastest to get this phone repaired through bell by phone, through bell at one of the service centers/stores, or through samsung directly.

Why not give this a try, cloudrainstar said his phone worked after flashing JL2...
cloudrainstar said:
I was on XXJPY PDA and UGJK4 Modem (With UGJK4 SBL), and I decided to flash the SBL and Modem for UGJL2...
After that was done, my phone went on, then off, then on, then off... ad infinitum.
I thought the SBL might have killed the XXJPY PDA, so I reflashed that, only to find that it's still doing the same thing...
So I flashed the UGJK4 SBL, and the phone booted... but goes into recovery and tells me it can't find mmcblk0p1...
I flashed a kernel with adb enabled and checked: mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 were all missing!
Since I have access to download mode anyways, I decided to flash the entire UGJL2 Rom...
At first boot, it booted, then kinda rebooted itself again, going into recovery, then it said something on the recovery screen about wiping cache, and "verifying filesystem"... Then it was able to install the CSC!? After that my phone booted into UGJL2 without a problem...
I wonder if this means phones with dead internal sd cards have a fix now?... Or if someone would be able to extract whatever it is in this ROM and fix sd cards without having to flash this ROM too? (Like the three button fix?)
Tried some more things...
After I was able to boot into UGJL2, I flashed XXJPX directly on top of it, hoping that it will all work from there. But it didn't work, I went back to the "dead" internal sd state. I flashed UGJL2 again, and let it do its magic again, the phone did the same thing, reboot, start, reboot again, start into recovery, attempt to install CSC, then says "deleting file", then installed CSC again, and "verifying the filesystem".. and then it went in again!
It looks like the SBL and the Recovery of this ROM is working together to "fix" the SD Card?

Here are some instructions...
Download this file, it's JL2 from Bell, many thanks to Chainfire for this.
http://www.multiupload.com/UTFJCCIP5H
Save it to your desktop. The file is called...
I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC
Uncompress it onto your desktop. you will have a file called: I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar
Leave the .tar file intact, do not uncompress that one.
Next, download Odin and also save it to your desktop and uncompress it.
http://www.filedude.com/download/JS0sHyCZ1C5a6d42b02d
Open Odin
Click on the PDA button and choose I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar from your desktop.
Do not click anything else!!
Put your phone into download mode, Volume Down + Home Button + Power Key
Plug your phone into the computer
Odin will see it and will look similar to this, though the com port might be different...

If it continues to boot or if nothing happens after 15 min, you will have to send it to Samsung.
Hope this helps,
Ian

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll try it out later.

An update. I tried that flash. Nothing. I also tried a ton of other flashes. I tried Jl2 again, followed by a SBL flash and even a speedfix kernel flash.
Still nothing! Now the samsung galaxy logo just flashes constantly after I turn the phone on.

So I guess you have to return it to Sansung. I would flash JL2 though as it has the i9000M on the flash screen showing it has a Bell Rom on it. If there is only a i9000 without the 'M', they might not warranty it because it was flashed.
I did this and everything was fine.
Ian

I had the same problem ... went into recovery mode and reset the phone back to manufacture default.
Was a pain, but wasnt parting with my galaxy s

[Q] Brick ?? HELP :S

Hey people, I usually upgrade roms on my blackstone, been 2 years now, all fine, until yesterday after a task 29.{Ypsmav rom} My phone didn't want to start, eternal freeze on start up with the htc logo ..
Can you kindly help me please.Tried several HR, to no avail..

It's likely not a freeze. Can you still enter the bootloader? (press and hold volume down while switching on or resetting the device). If yes, try putting a valid blackstone ROM as "BLACIMG.nbh" in the root of an sd card while the device is not connected to your PC, and flash the rom.

Known Issue:
During the first start of the device, it may freeze on the white screen or just showing the background.
in order to avoid this problem, pls proceed as follows:
After flashing the device will do the UC (user customization) and will restart. After restarting when on the white screen, just hit a few times the top left corner of the screen, until you see the dropdown icon menu to appear. You can also hit the send button and topbar. When the device reacts just let it finish the startup processes and Sense should start without problems.

- the device will start, run the UC customization and then restart.
- Hit the top left corner as described on the previous paragraph.

Tbh a brick is when the phone does nothing, i.e. won't turn on, no lights or anything....hence as useless as a brick. If your phone is stuck at htc logo, can enter bootloader or even if the light comes on when connected to a charger......it is not bricked and can be recovered.
I have tinkered with many phones and literally bricked 3 of them.......not pleasant.
I'm not having a dig at anyone, just want people to stop using the term "bricked" when in fact the phone is not bricked
I'm glad you got your issue resolved
For future, make sure you have a BLACIMG.nbh (rom file) in the root of your sd card before you do a task29 as a t29 wipes everything including the rom, hence why your device got stuck at splash screen (as no rom to load )

I had the exact same thing happen to my A500 back in October. Have tried everything I could find on the net to restore it back to factory settings with no success. Of course it happened to me 2 months after the warranty ran out. To say Acer's support suck would be a complement.
Decided to give up on it and convert to one of the new Windows 8 hybrid tablets when available. Found the Android devices to be only good for email, surfing the net or playing around with useless apps that are gimmicky. At least with the windows 8 tablets you can run any of the programs that you run on your windows computer. They seem to have a similar price point as the Ipad but again, I think they are more practical for so many reasons.
I wish you luck and hope you have better luck then I did.
Cheers, TWC

Wots clear win 7? And why can't u update the drivers.
Wot ROM were u on? Maybe hard reset using rotation lock method.
A stock Update.zip might fix it, no drivers needed...

clear - fresh installed (no messed drivers). I flashed new bootloader through APX. I were on full stock. Hard reset will clear my movies music and pictures from memory ? upadte zip doesnt works bcs recovery dont boot (only apx and fastboot now)

If you can get to fast boot mode wipe cache first and see if it boots... If it doesn't then flash a recovery.img via fast boot instead....make sure u have a compatible ICS ROM to flash once u have recovery

So how did you do it? I've tried all the tricks and factory resets and toggle lock and nothing seems to get it to work. I'm guessing you flashed or something?

Can anyone help me with this issue? The BThunder app wants me to be in debug mode, but I can't get into it. Becasue I can not boot.

IF the auto flash tools do not work, you must use the manual nvflash method, if theres anything wrong it will give an error which you should post, along with what rom you were running.
To save yrself alot of trouble - go to the root guide in my sig and d/l babsector.rar - this will flash the v8/cwm and reset partitions - follow the instructions in that post - and be sure to do a full wipe b4 AND after flashing your rom - ICS/JB only

My tablet is a sucker
I have a HCL am7-a1 android. I tried to install CMW 5.0.2.0 , it installed, but failed to flash any ROM. afTER THAT i TRIED TO FLASH A NEW cwm ROM, and not my tablet gone dead. It is stuck at bootloader image. It wont go recovery console. ADB works, but fastboot does not work. Followed several posts but all in vain.
Look at the picture where I am stuck:

I would like to think I am pretty tech savvy but I want to know what the hell happened in this case. It is similar to what the OP describes but not exact.
First let me set up what the hell happened. I was using Flash Fox to watch Marvel Agents of Shield latest episode and was also downloading a game from the Play store, When all of a sudden it just went black. The screen was still on but it was black. Then the Acer logo came on and it stayed on. I thought it froze and held the power button to shut it off. It powered down just fine. I pressed the power agian and the Acer logo came up and again just hung there. I became a little perplexed and figured I could maybe go into the boot recovery menu by pressing the vol + and power. The little text in the upper left came up saying:
Erasing cache before SD Update...
SD Update CMD: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD: update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
The Android bot comes up with the spinning blue matrix of leadership in his chest and a status bar appears below but then go directly to the bot on the ground with his chest open and a red ! triangle. It just hangs there for a minute or so and then the Acer logo pops back up and just hangs.
I think I bricked it and through no fault of my own it seems. I mean **** the thing was only running Ice Cream sandwich OS. I am not sure the exact version. All I want to do is see if I can recover the stock OS and have my tablet back. If that is not possible and I have to use a different way to recover using a custom ROM I can do that too. It seems to me that I need a file update.zip on my SD card which I removed before recovering but there is no file on my card named that. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

[HELPP] H918 is stuck at a bootloop and I've tried everything!!

I've searched far and wide for an answer to my problem and I've returned with nothing. It's been almost 24 hours without my phone and I think I'm losing it. I've downloaded and tried LGUP (alongside Uppercut), LG FlashTool 2014, LG Bridge, LG DLLs, etc and nothing has worked to flash my phone to stock with the KDZ. The closest I've gotten it to work is with LGUP but stupid me, I managed to edit the buildprop before it went self destruct and changed the device identifier to a Google Pixel XL and LGUP refuses to cooperate. Any help is appreciated. Please. :good:
I've managed to get into fastboot. I'm sure I can do something from here but idk what to put. Any help is appreciated once again

My guess is that you're rooted considering you've edited the build.prop? Why not enter recovery and flash a stock rom?

Can you not get into TWRP?? I believe its the same way as everyone else..\
Hold the volume down button and the power button and as soon as you see the LG logo left go of the power button and press it again. This manual step is a pain in the arse, but it will get you there eventually. Since youre rooted, you also get the "This device is corrupted screen" yes? The LG logo popup you are looking for is right before that.
What I do for easy and fast access is this. I keep the back cover off and hold the volume down button for ease. I hold the power button, let go, and press it again and ususally that first try doesnt work. As soon as I see the corrupt screen I take the battery out very quickly and put it back in and repeat the process. After a few tries the LG logo will hang before the corrupt screen and that gives you the time you need to let go of the power button and then hold it again until the factory reset screen comes up. Just hit yes twice... It will go into TWRP.

I'm glad that this helped you out. Getting into recovery with root was always a pain.

Well with the corrupt screen, it seems that the time frame that would allow you into Recover/TWRP is shorted. So pulling the battery after trying usually gave me more than enough time to boot into it. Probably not the best for the phone though xD
