So, i was attempting to do something with my SD card in Amons RA, and I wasn't paying attention and like an Idiot i formatted SD fat32/ext/swap or whatever it says after i hit "factory data wipe" so i basically have no OS on my phone now. No big deal right?
So i put my sd card in the pc throw the ROM on it, throw it back into the foot, run the "choose update.exe" and run dwange 1.17.1, it does its first boot and i accidentally drop the battery out, thought it was no big deal.
Threw the battery back in, booted up, it boots to the android bootscreen aka loading screen, then after that where it would normally go into the OS it goes to a black backlit screen and nothing happens.
Any idea?
can you still get into fastboot or recovery?
Sounds quite unfortunate to have dropped the battery while updating the rom. I'll be more careful with that myself in the future, thanks ;p

i am in desperate need of help i tried giving my pops a hand with his vibrant since he sees all the stuff i do to my nexus..i flashed the stock firmware from jac and the phone will not boot...well actually i get the tmobile splash...the vibrant splash..and the s animtion..problem is after that i guess the phone just hangs...the screen nvr turns on..i press the capacitive buttons and they light up but nothing on th screen and i cant get it to turn on...now i dont believe its bricked cause i can get into recovery and into download mode..i tried flashing through odin about three times...everything goes through..the phone resets..goes through the boot screens but after that nothing comes up...backtracking for a min...the whole reason i tried to flash the stock jac firmware was because i went into rom manager and tried to partition the sdcard..when i hit partition the phone rebooted and nothing would come up..i am assuming that it reformatted the internal card..needless to say thats when i tried flashing the stock and this is where im stuck at...i would really appreciate some help..and hopefully this will stop anyone else from running into this issue...do not try to partition the sdcard from rom manager..i hope i have described this in enough detail...thanks
looks like someone might owe his daddy a new phone.
Get ready for a spanking.
If my dad were still alive he would probably murder me if I ever bricked his new 200 dollar phone.
Just kidding. I hope you get it working bro. If not, try to exchange it. Say you don't know what happened to it, you turned it off and let it charge overnight and when you woke up to turn it on, this happened. Have tears in your eyes. They'll exchange it for you

I agree with this. If you dad goes in, T-mo won't think "This old dude must have hacked it!" They'll exchange it right away and even apologize to him.

have you tried to manually remove the partition and see if it boots? or try to boot without the sdcard?
what I did was flash Eugenes Froyo rom which worked well, then I re-flashed the stock rom. Now it works just like before.

greetings...i've read far too many threads on not being able to boot into "recovery" and "download" and haven't found anything to fix me...
i can successfully get into "recovery" but when i try to reinstall the packages it starts to run a recovery with Clockworkmod etc...it stops and reboots into recovery...this will go on and on...
now when i try to boot into "download" i can't, i've tried many methods none work.
any help?

sweet...well, not sweet...PM me if you find a fix: i'll do the same, i have a replacement on the way via t-mobile.
for the record, i've successfully gotten in to download mode and used Odin to get back to factory...twice, once for fun and once for resurrection...i don't know what went wrong, except while nandroiding maybe i backed up a bogus recovery rom before i flashed. i can't get past Vibrant, and i don't even see the battery recharge display either when i usb, i'm letting the battery run down to try and get to the green battery icon to try a "download" mode??? i've read of a move while you see the charging screen but i haven't been able to get there... oh well, live and learn. i am also searching for a way to boot from the removable sd card that has a system or recovery rom on it..nothing yet.
also, i've read people discussing newer models being blocked from download...well like i said i've done this with this phone before but i got a new SIM last week and this is the first attempt with the new SIM???? maybe a coincidence...
take battery out, plug in usb to pc, hold vol up n down, replace battery, boom download mode.

yes(but i'm over saturated right now, i might have missed something) ...i'm dead in the water, i can't get to the point of anything seeing my device...my computer won't see it except as unknown usb device, no partitions show up, adb doesn't recognize it in any way...maybe i'm a [email protected], but i don't see anyway to flash it without at least getting in to download mode, or somehow pushing a .zip at the sd for a recovery??? technically figuring out that stuff is beyond my remaining brain cells...this seems like a dicey way for the phone to rely on when restoring to factory.... it would be nice to have the device look at All available partitions, internal/removable, for a recovery system or have an altogether different sd in the phone for a -R dedicated recovery volume....don't know, i'm a noob at this android stuff sooo....
Hey People,
So i rooted(Unrevoked) my Wildfire today, everything went fine it seemed. but after putting OpenFire on, it just did'n get past the OPENFIRE screen. i let it run for an hour+ in the end i got so hot i pulled the battery.
now i tried to Nandroid restore it, but it suddenly went B(lack)SoD on me and now the orange Charge light i just blinking and i can't seem to revive the phone HELP! Please
Kind Regards
Vicster
if you still can use nandroid. why don't use flash to another rom
so you can't boot back into recovery?
if you can, make sure you do a full wipe before installing a rom (always do a wipe when installing a new rom)
THanks for your reply's the phone suddenly came back to life...!! thanks alot everyone!

I bricked mine as well. It bootloops and then goes into the recovery. How do I put a rom on it so I can choose it to be flashed? I had a restore point but it won't work after I restore it.

in recovery, mount your sd card or usb, and put a rom into it. make sure your phone is plugged into your pc.
or take your sd card out and put a rom on it and put it back into the phone, then boot into recovery and flash it, simple enough?

lucky you! My wildfire cant go into recovery, battery drains out in 2-3 hours, now even with a new battery. I am so sad
@kevin2516
I was desperate enough to not do a search in the recovery menu. I did the thing with the sd card. I don't understand why my backup started bootlooping...
Used ROM Manager and downloaded Leedriod 3.0, ran Terminal Emulator and did everything by the book. Went into ClockWork Recovery mode and everything looked okay. Then went to HTC boot animation screen and that's where it has been ever since. Every five minutes or so I get the delightful sound of HTC and a permanently on HTC, Quietly Brilliant Boot screen. It's been going like that for about 25 minutes now.
Any help would be appreciated.
No its not bricked, its in bootloop.
This is what i do when it happens to me:
Pull out the battery. If the phone is off, turn it back on with volume down + power on button. Wait till you get the bootloader screen. Now select recovery. In ClockWork Recovery you can set your backup back. (if you had made one before).
I hope its helps you. Goodluck.
Or just copy another rom file to the sd card and flash again.
Unfortunately I made the classic error of not backing up first, was trying to do this while in work (not good) so I presume at this point I'm screwed

Thanks, will try that tonight.
It doesn't hurt to try to flash the rom you already have once again.
Just what joooe said. Use super wipe to clear data. just for sure.
Good luck.

Just a quick thanks to you guys, did Super Wipe and installed Android Revolution 6.20 last night and all went well. It was worth the screw up to have the small learning curve in the end
I did this one of the first times i flashed roms
i did have abackup first but its a scary experience lol
I was running virtuous primodonna. i wasnt doing anything, but my phone randomly illuminated with a black screen. i pulled the batter and when i rebooted it stayed at splash screen, then the screen showed random screwed up lines and all this. then it rebooted by itself and went to recovery. I've wiped my data and cache and dalvik but nothing works. i've tried restoring backups but it says that its failing to recover the system. please someone help
If no one knows. can someone please provide me with a rom that will brick my phone so it WONT BOOT UP WHATSOEVER. that way i can go to the tmo store for replacement? so they cant go into recovery and figure out i've rooted it. PLEASE someone

Let's not brick your phone intentionally just yet! Try getting hold of a PD15IMG.zip (2.2.1 or 2.3.4, either works unless you want to root again, then go for 2.2.1). Boot into bootloader with the PD15IMG on the root of your SD, then let it update. If it doesn't and says Fail-PU, then you are bricked and could send it back to T-Mobile. Or you could try flashing another ROM. Hope this helps!

OK since that did not work, place the PD15IMG on your SD, and when it is updating, pull the battery. That will brick it for sure (I think..). Press thanks if I helped.

do this: wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash the original ROM (the one you have a backup of, but not the actual back up)
THEN restore the backup, it shouldnt get stuck at system anymore
i had a similar problem and this helped. hopefully it works for you

Whoops. I think it's flashing a new radio then. Flash the radio just like you did with the PD15IMG and take the battery out during the process. If it still boots, I'll look into how to brick it lol!

I can't even access the recovery anymore. i have the PD15image thing pop up everytime so i cant get to the sd card whatsoever. i took out my sdcard then tried to access the recovery but it doesnt work
Actually, I think we've done a pretty successful job, because, they can't access the recovery, the PD15img keeps saying Fail-PU. the only thing left is S-Off, which i hope they dont notice >.>

I think you're fine honestly. Good luck matey!
Get a 12v power supply, cut the end off and strip the wires. Take the battery out and touch the wires to the phones battery contacts a couple times. Replace battery try to power on. If it doesn't turn on your done, if it does try again. Tell them it was on the charger and shut off when you unplugged it and wouldn't turn on.

I had a similar problem when the splash screen got stuck last night flashing a new radio. I took the sdcard and plugged it in the netbook, accessed the root rolder and renamed the PD15IMG.zip so the HBOOT wouldn't read the file. It stopped the HBOOT from reading the file so I could access Recovery then reflashed my recovery file. I forgot to do the data wipe/dalvik before I flashed the radio lol.
This is an AWESOME how to brick your phone on purpose guide good job guys
