Unbrick Using ADB

If this is in the wrong area please mods answer and redirect it into the correct area.
I was wondering if your phone is looped at the first bootloader screen and you cannot access recovery or bootloader is there a way to unbrick your device using a code in the adb?
Please answer...... and move if nessasary.
Thank You

I had been running Cyanogen 3.5.2 and then switched to JACHero 2.2 to see the changes. Then when I tried to switch back to Cyanogen and I kept getting the bootloop. No matter what I did, wipe, flash, wipe again, flash again. Nothing. I assume it might have something to do with the Apps2SD setup but I have no idea. I just reflashed back to JACHero and it is working fine.

Did you reflash using the ABD. If you did not then you would have to use the recovery or bootloader mode on the device. Therefore not using the abd commands at all. Im not bashing you or anything btw.

about cyan to jachero same happened to me... it has somthing to do with apps2sd your correct. somthing like the .odex files from hero saving on ur sd partion and ruining the whole setup on cyans. so what i did was use paragon partion manager to completely reformat my sd card and then remade my ext3 partion on it. and it works fine. im never switching off of cyans rom thoe. anymore to much of a headache and stuff.
(as you can tell im drunk and i really dont understand all this rom lingo lol bare with me i hope i helped you?)

There are other posts on this but if you can't get into recovery or bootloader you are toast adb may not connect(really it should connect to adb when on the boot screen but many have been through this and haven't been able to get their phones working. I bet you tried flashing the Haykuro SPL("Danger" SPL) right?
It is brick you will have to look into a replacement/exchange if possible.

Oh no was just wondering cause i am thinking about rooting my phone but under the right direction. Not the posts they have here cause they are to hard to follow. If you or someone could help me i only wanna upgrade to a hero that has flash player and can put notifications out like this one : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q-JSg53A3...AFD4/6TWLdeIi3VY/s400/rosie7-lock-screen2.jpg

I also had bootloop when switching back from jachero to Dude's 1.3. I had to pull the battery out to get it to shut down, but then I was able to use recovery to flash Dude's... how is it that you're unable to get into recovery mode? Have you tried pulling ythe battery?

If you mess up the SPL you can't get into recovery. The only known method of messing up the SPL is with the "Hero" SPL (afaik, without manually trying to brick your phone).
If you get a bootloop, make sure you wiped AND completely cleared your ext2/ext3 partition with apps2sd. That always seems to cause a bootloop.

I don't think so. Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping data or going back to a Nandroid backup?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

[SOLVED!] HTC Magic no ROM works

Hi, I'm kinda new to this stuff, but I really want to upgrade my phone because I find that the stock ROM I got with the phone just isn't good enough.
I've been trying to load a new ROM for a couple of days now, but I just can't seem to finish the process.
My Phone:
HTC Magic
Android 1.5
running recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img
32A
Attempting to install CyanogenMod 5.0.8
Now, here are the steps I've performed:
1. Flashed recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img using flashrec.apk
2. Booted phone in recovery mode
3. Did nandroid backup
4. wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik-cache
5. loaded ROM from sdcard update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed.zip
When that finished installing on my phone successfully, I rebooted my phone, and then my phone just gets stuck on the "htc magic" logo.
I've performed suggested actions, such as wiping again and then loading the ROM again, tried loading different ROMs, but always get the same problem. I even tried using the clockwork recovery image instead of the sapphire v1.6.2.
What could possibly be the cause? How can I fix it? Am I just a massive noob and using the wrong ROMs?
It's getting really annoying now, I'm almost ready to give up and just factory reset back to stock rom *sigh*

Cyanogen Mod is for 32B devices. Go to the download page, you'll find the kernel for 32A in a zip. I believe all you need to do is flash it from recovery and it should boot
If that doesn't work, repeat your steps then flash (wipe, flash CM, flash kernel).

errm...what's a kernel? lol (sorry for being such a noob)
And which download page should I find the kernel for 32A in a zip?

did you try reading the cyano-wiki? or the original post in the cm thread?
really, if you didnt, take some time and read that stuff, even if some of it makes no sense, just read through it, then take a 5 minute break, and look through it again, all the info you need is there
if you did, read it again, cause i needed to read through it several times to get it, the instructions often assume we know stuff we dont know
otherwise, i would start over fresh, i mean from ground up, may be quicker than 1) trying to figure out whats wrong, and 2)trying to figure out how to fix whats wrong

Evo 4G stuck in hboot

EVO 4G rooted with Unrevoked. Right now I can only boot into bootloader and fastboot. There is no ROM and It will not let me load ROM or recovery from fastboot or sdcard. I can fumble around fastboot and adb but most of the time I get an error.

Any help greatly appreciated! If I am in the wrong place, very sorry

Which recovery are you trying to flash and how?? via PC36IMG?

Thanks for the reply!!! recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img. and update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip I tried both as pc36img from HBoot and via fast boot. neither worked. I also tried to install to change boot.img via fastboot. same message.

Look for the Amon Ra thread in the Development section, grab the PC36IMG.zip Make sure that it's named exactly like that and flash that in Hboot. That should give you recovery.

i wish there was odin for htc devices

Will try that again first thing in the a.m. Been working on it all day and the brain is mush! I'll post the result as soon as I'm done. Thanks!

i have been rooted for a while and i have changed ROMS many times. but the other day i flashed fresh evo and my phone wouldnt reboot and i thought i screwed it up but then after a minute it came on. realized that ROM wasnt what i wanted and i flashed myn warm 2.2 and it rebooted just fine but when my phone turned on, it just kept initializing and didnt end up running. then i realized i didnt flash the radio and wimax updater it came with. so i went into recovery and wiped everything then reflashed the rom and radio wimax and it just froze in the white htc evo 4g screen. getting to hboot and bootloader works fine but freezes when i try to go to recovery.
if i didnt make sense or said something stupid i apologize!! i am a 4 month noob. any help is appreciated!! thanks!!

That was what happened to me sorta. I have been flashing that phone since November of last year. Something must have hiccuped during the last flash process because I have never had that happen before. This is my first possible brick and I am really pissed that I can't figure it out!!! Arrrgg! Off to start over with the new Amon RA recovery! Wish me luck!

Well this happened to me once, what i did was i put on my sd card any other rom (i was using cm7 nightlies so i put another nightly in) and then i wiped cache and flashed it, however it might also help if from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702 you get the format all zip and use that to wipe everything. once you have flashed another rom and your phone turns on wait a little bit and then try once again to flash the first rom you were trying to flash.

Holy Cannoli!! Ok that .zip worked for the recovery (I tried several different downloads!) Now I have to see if I can copy an image. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the info. I totally though the phone was bricked. Actually the phone would load in HBoot and Fastboot but I couldn't get a recovery on or a ROM. In other words there was no ROM to boot to. In addition to that, wether I tried from SD card or fastboot, I couldn't get any .img, .zip etc to install. So here I was with an HBoot - S-off and no way to get a recovery or ROM on the puppy. I am still working on this and still jammed up but the recovery gives me hope. Please stick around in case I have a meltdown. (hasn't happened yet but I can feel it getting closer!) LOL
Stick around for the detail of what I did If I can get this ROM onboard! Maybe this will help someone else.

Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.

You should try wiping everything but your SDcard: option and flashing a ROM first and see what happens

Johnnyboy1409 Did you ever get this fixed?

No it won't let me go into recovery to flash anything. All I need is a trick to get into recovery and I can wipe everything then perform a nandroid restore. I already have had the pc36img.zip on the root of the zip. It is copied correctly but idk if I spelled it right on here cuz I'm on my girlfriends phone and can't remember it.everytime I boot into hboot that zip updates but doesn't help...

when you go to boot loader and it loads, it then should ask if you want to update splash - hit no, then to reboot - hit no, then you should be able to go one down and hit recovery. do you get those options?

I get those options but when I click recovery it goes to the white htc Evo 4g screen and stays there no matter how long I wait.

I know I sound like a broken record but try formatting your SD card or using a different known good card and also use the link in my post above to re-download the pc36img.zip Amon RA Recovery. Then you know all the components are "clean and without erro". Then you can start to figure out the problem.

Is my Phone dead?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....
I just flashed the new radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19).. and not my phone is stuck on the boot screen.. few seconds after it started, it just vibrates and stays there...
I tried the other radios like the stock panache radio, but still stuck on the boot screen.. same thing, few secs and it vibrates and just stays there...
I can get into HBoot and Recovery and thats all

H,
Thought you might have some insight into this
The problem I have is it only shows the splash screen (stock splash is green "myTouch 4G" on white background) when
starting the phone.
Before this happened I had rooted the phone and updated the ROM and was putting some patches on the phone, Recovery shows
info as s-off.
To do a recovery I downloaded the stock ROM from a link here at XDA
(PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip I also did a hash check and it downloaded fine no corruption) renamed image with the exact name PD15IMG.ZIP (made sure it was not a
PD15IMG.ZIP.zip) and copied it into an empty 1 gig SD memory.
I re booted, did a factory reset x 2 after going to boot-loader, that did not help so I inserted the SD card with only
the PD15IMG.ZIP image in it and rebooted to recovery, but recovery does not ask me anything when it looks for the
PD15IMG.ZIP it says no image or wrong image (it also looks for PD15DIAG.ZIP, PD15IMG.nbh, and PD15IMG.zip same
message) and puts me back into recovery.
Any Ideas on what I should do ?????
Thanks

I saw someone post that with this radio u gotta flash it in hboot and then go into recovery and clear cache or else this is what happens..

You shouldnt be going into recovery to try and flash the pd15img.zip. You have to go into hboot and wait for it to prompt you to do it.

^ what he said , those pd15img's should only be flashed in hboot , if it doesnt work then flash a reliable rom in recovery like cyanogenmod , if it continues to give you a splash screen , you MIGHT , have a failed emmc , theres always a chance , it happened to my G2 , it just randomly pooped out on me.
