im using the latest damage rom and i flashed the audio fix eris on top of my damage and now my phone wont get past the sprint boot splash screen. what should i do, just reset the whole thing, and also was that the wrong audio fix cause i swore i read it perfectly.
EDIT: i think i saw on another post that this wasnt a flashible zip, that might be the cause of why my phone is stuck in boot
theres some sort of phone frying bug today on xda. everyone nandroid for good luck. funny enough, all the other threads the first reccomendation was to nandroid. id give the same advice to you.
wait nevermind, this package was a flashible zip, i dont understand why it would stick my phone on the sprint splash screen, i had to wipe and do a reset, but how do i fix the audio issue without this fix. im lost
I ran into the same problem when trying to apply the audio fix zip. I ended up having to wipe my sd partition to get it to finally boot. Just living with the audio problem for the time being, until we get a rom that doesn't have it. Everything else is working fine for me so I just reboot regularly.
First run adb logcat to see what the problem is.
Second, did you wipe data, dalvik and ext before you flashed? If not, pull your battery, wipe all three and reflash.
Third, if the above two didn't fix your issue then pull your battery, wipe all three, and reflash something else that doesn't freeze on you.

Okay, I've searched and searched and no one seems to have the specific problem that I'm having with my phone, so I'm taking to the forums myself. I've been rooting since the G1, I know how to adb push things, I have used google and multiple forums to try to fix this problem. So here goes, anyone that can help I thank you in advance.
1-My phone, like some other MT4G users, reboots itself each time it's plugged in. Initially I thought this was because I was using a Kindle cord to plug it into the pc, so I bought an MT4G usb cable from tmobile, and still it boot loops (just the first white screen for maybe 4 seconds, then black then again and again). The only way to charge it is to let it start boot looping, take the battery out, turn it on, and if I'm lucky enough that it begins to boot up correctly I plug it in mid boot. If I wait til it's fulled loaded it just starts rebooting again.
2-It will not at all from any angle go into Recovery mode. If I try to go to recovery from Rom Manager, or from the screen you get when holding power and lower volume key or by flashing a rom through Rom Manager, it just boot loops just like mentioned above, until I pull the battery for a while (it is currently sitting next to me with the battery out) and then put it back in.
3-If by chance it's on, and plugged into the computer, it is not at all recognized. Ever. While it's booting up my computer finds something, but doesn't know what it is, and doesn't allow me to view any folders on the SD card. Yes I've installed the HTC drivers file. I've adb'ed things to this phone before, now it says device not found. I don't know when it stopped being recognized...
4-I've even tried to fastboot something over to it, but to no avail, still not found.
If I try to do a factory reset, it boot loops. If I sneeze it boot loops.... I don't know what to do, and if I trade it in under warranty, I have to reset it to stock rom, or they're going to charge me for a new phone. Any ideas!?
I have Cyanogen mod 7 on here.
have you tried a fastboot wipe? or have you tried to reboot to recovery from adb?
First, I don't trust using the actual ROM Manager app to do the flashing/installing.
Since you've been flashing since the G1 days why not use Clockwork Recovery? Just go into recovery and do the necessary wipes.
So I suggest to do a complete full wipe in Clockwork, meaning wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Install the newest CM nightly (Which is working wonderfully BTW) and see if your problems still persists.
Edit: I didn't realize you tried to enter recovery, oops. But yeah try what the buy above me said. Try re-installing the latest CWM recovery, if that still fails then try heading into there via ADB.

I second that, flashing ROMs from ROM Manager a terrible idea.
Well...if all else fails and if you are really thinking about returning it and still under warranty...few seconds in the microwave method should work just fine. They wont be able to see that its rooted if the phone wouldn't turn on, would they???
glimmer of hope...
So by the grace of god I did get it flashed back to unrooted, stock 2.2 by putting it as pd15img.zip on my sd card and going into bootloader. Once that was done I thought I would be out of the woods... I even plugged it in last night and no boot loop!! but this morning I unpllugged it (and I'm using a tmobile cable for the phone attached to my pc) and here it sits, next to me again with the battery out of it because everytime I try to turn it on (for over 40 minutes now) it boot loops to that stupid white screen (that is honestly driving me insane at this point). I know that it isn't rooted (because I dl'ed rom manager and it won't let me do anything without being rooted) so do we think that I'm safe to go to the store today to request a new one be sent? Thoughts? And thanks for the help thus far!
yeah I would send that back
Bad emmc chip? I'm sorry man, that's a terrible story.

Alrigt, I randomly get reboots and I just rooted using Revolutionary last night. I'm using TWRP as my recovery and I want feedback as to if this is a normal issue or if it's just my handset. I hate sense and want rid of this garbage. >=( I appreciate all feedback, just don't be a jerk about it. I'm not new, and this isn't a noob question. I'm asking specifically about Revolutionary root with twrp then flashing CM7 as the rom and if it has bootlooping issues coming from stock.
I haven't tried TWRP, but you might want to try the usual recoveries, and try wiping everything once and and a fresh install. Just a thought. I have never had issues with any cyanogenmod. Oh another thing, might want to partition your SD card.
It's stuck in a bootloop right now. I actually already tried CWM and just did Amon_ra's recovery...it seems to be a CM7 issue with my phone? I'll try MIUI and then switch to CM7
So, you're afraid to ask for getting shot down.
I'm afraid to post an idea for getting shot down. But, I'll venture forth and probably be wrong. Do you still have PC136.img on your SD? If so, I think you're supposed to remove it. I could be wrong and probably am. I'm 70% sure I'll hear about it if so.
MIUI was bootlooping as well. I think this might be an issue with me flashing my splash screen after acquiring root?
Common issue: make sure you are wiping the SYSTEM partition. The "factory reset" wipe option does not do this. Or find one of those automated "super wipe" scripts to flash in recovery that does it all for you.
Others had bootloops and such and later posted back that it was a wipe issue.
Also, provide a logcat if you can.
Actually, I found that I had to wipe the boot partition for some reason. It worked and I hope this thread helps people get past boot loops. I also need to restore my Wimax keys now lol.
okay so yes...im a noob, or atleast i consider myself one. heres my problem, i jumped into rooting and flashing head first, without researching EVERYTHING, ENTIRELY, so im at fault, i know this guys.
so heres the just of it, i have the mt4g aka htc glacier. i wanted to root, and flash a custom rom. i have a thing for sense 3.0 so i flashed virtuous fusion, now i never checked or learned how to figure out if i have a bad emmc? i through caution to the wind and here i am with no phone.
okay so its installed everythings good no glitches running smooth. my girl downloads mad bull**** into the phone and it starts running SLOW, real slow. i think hmm, factory data reset? earse everything yes i know this is unrevesable. phone goes black. remove battery reinstall, turn on, myotuch 4g then htc sense boot screen, then boot loop, then boot loop, then blakc screen unresponsive until battery pull.
cleared cached partition, wiped dalvik cache tried reinstalling viruous fusion from zip, same problem, not sure where i saved my nadroid backup unable to find it
so basicly guys, without gettin chewed out, am i a total ****ing moron? and is there hope....
also i saw a simalr thread unanswered there was a suggerstion to instal some file with a random jumble of letters and numbers as the name, however idk how to do so without being able to access my sd card with the phone i dont have a spare phone or way to put sd card in laptop please help me someone
SOLVED, not sure how i fixed it but i think its because, i first deleted everything i could form clockwork, then went to advanced deleted cache system and something else reflashed now its working...no complaints, however i read on another forum that virtuous fusion is known for brick devices upon factory data resets
Virtuous Fusion is a very outdated ROM.
Use Virtuous Unity.

well there's a lesson learned...
never EVER do a factory reset within a ROM... lol
btw, when you went to recovery, did it show any errors?
like "E:/ Can't find ..."?
Well, I first of all was using TWRP 2.0 as my recovery. However, i did not know that it was known to cause bricks. Anyway, I was doing a routine clean flash of a new rom i wanted to try, the aokp build 22 rom. I wiped everything, making sure to hit wipe system as well in twrp, then i put my phone to mount the sd card, transfered the rom, flashed it and its gapps then i reboot. Now all my phone can do is reboot endlessly, So I got into the bootloader and selected recovery, still, just keeps bootlooping. So then I decide to find an RUU and flash it through fastboot. It flashed everything correctly but when it got to step 4, (system) the phone would say error and it would fail to flash the system. After this I was still at bootloop. I dont know what it is, I even tried flashing Amon_Ra through fastboot, and ive been able to get to recovery once or twice but just to find it completely unresponsive and it wont read/mount my SD card even though i checked and the sd card was fine. All in all, I took it over to sprint and since i have TEP they agreed to get me a new one, though it was backordered so now im a week without a phone. Anyway just wanted to share my story, if anyone else knows of a way to fix it, im all yours.
TWRP kills. Good luck. Sorry you didn't follow up regularly on the thread of the product you were using. If anyone can help you, it might be Captain Throwback, but I think he's been a bit busy lately (i.e. been absent). Good luck, but TWRP fncks you.

TWRP2.0 is an evo killer as far as I know there is no fix for a TWRP brick I'm pretty sure it messes up something in the partitions possibly boot or system partition which is why it bootloops
We are legion, for we are many
Unfortunately your phone is toast. Had the same problem, and really there is no way to recover. You should have bit the bullet in used insurance instead of going through Sprint since the Evo is past EOL. You maybe waiting a long time to get a replacement where as going through Ausion (sp) you either would have gotten either a new Evo, a refurb'ed Evo, or a new Evo3D (most likely).

It's been a busy week for me, but I am still alive, and still using my previously-soft-bricked device .
I can link you to what I was able to do to get mine working (HERE), but if you can't get the device to boot up at all, you might be in dire straits. What is your HBOOT status? (version, NAND status)

Hey guys. I'm trying to fix my friends Defy for him. I've rooted my old Evo 4g, my wifes samsung transform, and her motorola Photon Q so I'm pretty familiar with rooting. But I'm having a problem with his Defy. Here's the skinny:
So his phone froze up on him. And after pulling the battery, it now won't boot. So I booted into recovery, and tried a factory reset. The factory reset won't complete. The little loading bars that go across the screen just keep going forever (I let them go for 3 hours straight one day). And I still can't get the phone to boot. So I figure, no big deal, i'll just root and install custom recovery. So I looked into rooting methods for the Defy, and they all seem to involve booting the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Or know of a way to reflash the original recovery? I'm assuming the problem is the recovery. Thanks in advance for any help. And my buddy thanks you too.
You can use RSD to flash it with stock rom of your region. Do not flash any gingerbread rom if the phone never had gingerbread(you will have downgrade issues).
I don't want a Tapatalk sig!
never heard of rsd. Just looking into it. It seems people are saying I would need to wipe cash and data first? Problem is when I attempt to wipe cache it just goes on forever never finishes.
Any Luck M8

was just reading your post and was wondering if you have had any luck with your buddy's Defy ???
Flashing a fresh .sbf using RSDlite should fix the recovery problems, as it will overwrite it with a fresh one. The /system partition will be rewritten, also. After flashing, the phone might boot to the system already, but if not, just enter recovery and do a factory reset, now it should finish fine and boot fine, as well. (it doesn't matter if you do a factory reset before or after the flash)
Latest RSD Lite I've found is v6.1.4. You will also possibly need drivers, google for - "Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0"
Keep us posted! Good luck
