Please Help!

Ive doing the touch it 2.3 mod, and its says it takes 6 -15 mins, mine has been on the copy file part for like 35 mins, and im afraid to touch it, can anyone help is it finished or not? please help ive got to go to work soon but im afraid to touch my phone lol.
Ok actually I jus unplugged it and it bricked, and ive done it now two times but it never gets passed copying the files or whatever, is there something that I am doing wrong, should i get like an app unlocking file or something before i try this, but I figure that since it is hard reset it wouldnt matter, anyways does anyone have any tips that can help Im really really getting frustrated.

Did you follow all the directions to the tee?
1. Copy Aserg's Policies.
2. Run Aserg's Policies.
3. POWER CYCLE the phone. (Press and hold the power button, NOT the softreset button.)
4. Place the phone into flight mode (or just kill the phone radio within your comm manager if you're using the stock comm manager.) Do this AFTER you have power cycled the mode. NOT before.
5. Run the flashing file.
Wait, don't press ANYTHING on the phone, even that error that WILL pop up.
When it tells you it's done, if it doesn't give you any errors, THEN hard reset by holding the two soft keys and pressing the softreset key, then pressing the send key. This are the directions. Follow them to a tee and it WILL work if you're using a ROM that corresponds to your device.

ive done everything to a tee, and still the same problem, i give

mine was doing the same thing, but eventually it worked... i bricked it a few times but then decided to leave it alone went to work came back and all was well

yea i think the same thing happened to me i decided to do it last night and when I woke up it was done but then i flubbed the hard reset, so i ont know if it truly worked its nice to know that someone else had the same problem, did u do it from the tylers kit, because in the kit he as to install aserg, cerp, and enablerapi all before installing touch.

You have to make sure that its in flight mode. If the phone is receiving or transmitting anything while the flash is in progress, its not going to finish and you'll be waiting there like a dummy. I have a fairly fast computer and it still took about 30 minutes. The only problem I can think of that is causing your flash to not finish is that its not in flight mode. There will be an error during this flash, just leave it be and let it finish. Once ready, perform a hard reset and the device will reset to your new rom. So if you ever decide in the future to do another hard reset, it will only reset to the new rom.

Finally success, it was wat IIDOM said, basically i just left on for about 3 hours woke up it was done, only quirks right now is that I cant setup my email accounts Im about to search now and see what i find, and i can access my wifi connections from comm manager, anyone know the work arounds for those two things atm>? Also really appreciate everyone's help

[Q] Delete personal data from non-booting phone

Hi everyone
I have a Huawei U8800 which I can no longer boot (it gets stuck at the white Huawei screen). I can, however, access the 'pink screen' (vol+, vol-, power button) and the files when connecting it to my computer, but entering recovery mode (vol+, power button) does not seem to work.
I am an utter noob, so my approach to solve my problem would be to simply take the phone back to the shop, but first I would like to erase my personal data. Is this possible in my case, without voiding my warranty? In case it is not, could you perhaps tell me how I could go about fixing the phone myself (in such a case I would also be willing to scrap the warranty)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: I have not rooted the phone or done anything like that, all I did was installing a couple of apps, so it's pretty much in its original state.

You should be able to flash one of the original roms and the phone would boot if there're no hardware problems.
The original roms were removed from the huawei website but if you search the site there were plenty links afaik.

Thanks dionero. The trouble is that I am too much of a noob to understand what exactly you mean by 'flash one of the original roms'. Could you please provide some more detail? Thanks a lot

Here is a rom with instructions on how to flash :

Thanks again! I will give it a go later on today.

Did you manage to recover the phone?

Thanks for asking! First I need to go and buy a micro SD card, as that seems to be required for the process. But I'll post an update once that's done and I've attempted the recovery. Thanks again for your time!!

Hi,
finally the micro SD card has been delivered - I'll never buy from that shop again, what long shipping times!
Anyway, I'm afraid the recovery did not work. The phone did react, said it was performing the upgrade, and it the end it even displayed the "Upgrade completed" message. Attempts to reboot, however, still don't let me get any further than the Huawei screen
One further observation I have made (even before the attempted recovery, but ever since the phone stopped booting): when the phone is switched off (which nowadays can only be accomplished by removing the battery), and I plug it into the power outlet, it immediately starts its booting attempt. When the phone was still alright, however, it would recharge its battery without trying to boot immediately. I don't know whether that's important, but maybe someone can make use of this information!?
Well, in case anyone on here has got some more suggestions as to what else I could try I would be really grateful. Thanks a lot for your time and effort, and for reading this!

How long did you wait at the Huawei screen? First start takes longer time and it should reboot multiple times. Anyway, you should try flashing one of the recoveries, 5.0.2.3 for example. You can find it in the development section. With that you should wipe cache and data, delete dalvik cache and then try to start it.
I'm on mobile so I can't give you a good tutorial, but recovery should be fairly easy to install (look for stockwell's recovery).

Thanks, Blefish, for your reply. I tried recovery flashing at some point along the way, and I tried it again now, this time using the version you suggested. Still I simply cannot boot into recovery mode. I can either get the "pink screen", or simply the white Huawei screen, even if I press Vol+ and the power button (I've also tried pressing them for different amounts of time, but all to no avail)
Oh, and as an answer to your question: I waited for maybe 15 minutes or so.

Sorry wrong info

1. Download a stock rom.
2. Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
3. Copy UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP from stock rom archive to dload folder
4. Insert sdcart to phone
5. Switch on phone with press vol+ and vol- buttons
6. The installation will start automatically

Thanks ufukyayla, but what you're suggesting is exactly what dionero had suggested earlier, and unfortunately it did not work.

Need urgent help please

Hi guys, recieved my phone back from T-Mobile all repaired and working again
I ran the Advanced Hack kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821&highlight=ace+hack+kit, followed the instructions, it all went well, said it completed. Phone hung on T-Mobile flash screen for 15 mins. Pulled battery, powered up, hanging for another 15 mins.
Powered up into Hboot, still S-On.
I can access Clockwork recovery OK also.
Phone still hanging, so selected restore factory settings. Hangs at flash screen.
I restored my Back-up of RCMix3D (probably a bad idea, but ran out of things to try). Rebooted, hangs at T-Mobile screen again.
I'm pulling my hair out now, what can I try??
I wanted to try the Hack tool again, but it won't connect without the phone booted. Also, I tried running an RUU, again it won't run without the phone booted.

I just copied the stock T-Mobile PD98IMG to the SD card, updated, went smoothly, now won't boot at all

Well,
if you talk to attn1 again, please tell him to contact me.. I'm stuck with my dhd aswell.
My problem is:
Few months ago i rooted my unbranded DHD, installed CyanogenMod 7.1, it worked perfectly fine for a couple of months, but a few days ago, my phone was on but did not respond anymore. I tried to reboot it, but it got stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo (sometimes it bootloops, other times it freezes)
I rebooted the phone with the volume down key pressed, so it would give me that menu,
scrolled down to "Recovery", i get the recovery menu from ClockworkMod, but then my volume key does not work ! i can not do whipe or anything else, the phone freezes.
I mounted the SD card in my PC, cleared it, put a rom in root of SD card and call the rom "PD98IMG.zip" and put the SD card back in my phone. I start the phone with the volume key down pressed, i get that
white screen with the menu and it then finds the .zip file.
It then reads the image, parses the image and then tries to load "NV.img" on which my phone freezes again.
I tried CyanogenMod and LeeDroid, and a stock rom. They all do the same thing, as written above.
When i connect my phone to my PC, my pc tries to install the driver, but gives me an error, saying the device is not known. I have installed both HTC Sync and the SDK. Tried it when i had only HTC Sync
installed, did not work either.
I also tried a RUU (.exe file) but this program tells me there is no device connected...
My phone is over a year old, so i have no warenty anymore, that's why i rooted it.

[Q] First boot loop, now wont turn on, 7 vibrations?? HELP!!

Hello, I have the HTC tmobile mytouch 4g and it is acting up. Stock phone, no roms or rooted.
Three days ago, at night, doing some browsing and then everything froze, would not respond. I removed battery, and then it did a boot loop so i kept trying for a while, taking out battery, and turning on but still boot loop, so then left it alone.
The next morning i held the power and home button and it turned on and it worked normally for the whole day! until about the same time two days ago. Doing a little reading and browsing before bed (same website too, but i didn't download anything and the site works fine on a computer) and it froze. Did the same routine except it didnt work in the morning again. I removed sd and sim card too, left everything out for a long time, but whatever i tried it wouldn't work.
Yesterday i tried all day and then I read online I should do a wipe cache partition from the recovery menu. So i did that, but it was still a boot loop. After a few tries, it stopped turning on. Now the screen doesn't even turn on, but the phone vibrates 7 times when power is pressed, then will not respond at all unless i take battery out, then it will do the 7 vibrations and etc.
All htc said is to try a factory reset, but it wont even go to that menu. I can send it to them, but will probably lose everything on my phone ( like messages, contacts, and app data?) BUT I'm convinced there is another way, since it fixed itself the first time.
Just recently, now it has started blinking the charging light when charging (i charged it about 10 hours ago and it didn't blink)
I don't really know much about how these things work, but I have been reading some stuff about pd15??.jzip and putting it on the sd card (i have access to a micro sdcard reader) Also about a stock image or something. I don't know much so please give a simple-ish answer.
IF THE SOLUTION YOU WILL PROPOSE HAS A LOW SUCCESS RATE OR HAS A POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER DAMAGING THE PHONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW... If it is too difficult/ too much work/ or dangerous, then I don't mind losing whatever i have on the phone

The PD15IMG.zip is the "stock image." It has to be installed in the bootloader, and you WILL lose all of your data. Usually you can get to the bootloader by holding volume down while booting. It will scan for the file there. Can you get into your bootloader?

sigh
cannot turn on no matter what i hold.
I think the blinking last night meant that it isn't charging the battery anymore. wont even vibrate now unless it is plugged in. its not an issue with the battery is it??
if this stock image is going to delete everything anyway, i might as well send it to htc. i just hoped i might be able to save my messages because i have some really hilarious ones, but oh well.
Can you please tell me exactly what ill lose? so,
bookmarks on the browsers
contacts and messages
all apps (they're on my phone) and app data? (like will i lose my progress in temple run 2, lol)

I don't have this phone with me ATM.but I seem to remember when you press volume UP: and POWER it if i remember correctly would do the blinking light and vibrating a few times .Anyways to get in recovery You Press Volume DOWN and press POWER at same time should bring you to recovery and if running a custom recovery such as CWM or 4EXT you can try the wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache to see if fix issue or try if using a custom ROM you can try installing the ROM again without wiping data and system first.I Read your post and the replies and correct me if I am wrong it sounds like this might work and sounds like you are able to get to recovery from reading your post I think.I would try and confirm that you are or are not able to try these suggestions before you try the boot-loader suggestion with the PD15IMG.zip or whatever it is called ,these are assuming your rooted with a custom recovery such 4EXT if not and I read wrong again I apologize. Good Luck!

alternatively you could use adb if u installed it
1. connect ur phone via usb cable.
2. run cmd from ur android-sdk folder (or whatever you named it). by running in folder I mean, ur path in cmd should be C:/whatever-is-your-sdk-folder path
3. type this in cmd window "adb reboot bootloader" (without ")
it should load your phone in bootloader from where u can get more options like factory reset or install new rom (u can mount ur sd card in recovery & put new rom to flash on sd card)

D805 No baseband, no IMEI, phone reboots.

Lg g2 D805 - Root and TWPR functional.
I'll try to be as quick as possible.
I have spent around 15 hours trying to fix this, this is the problem:
-There's no IMEI (I did a backup, but I lost it because it was in my phone internal memory and the flash tools wipe everything)
-There's no Baseband
-I'm not sure if it is due to that, but my phone keeps rebooting itself with a toast message on the bottom of the screen "Error"
This happened after flashing Mahdi rom. Everything was fine except the autorotation, right after that I stupidly restore the EFS backup that FreeGee Free created in case anything wrong happened. I am not sure if this caused all this mess, but after that all this nightmare started.
Madhi rom would not boot up again, so I flash my stock rom backup and oh surprise! The phone was screwed up.
I have flash stock firmware many times, following some tutorials. They work well, usb drivers are good, everything is good, but the phone remains with the same issue, keeps rebooting, without IMEI and basebands.
I bought this phone yesterday, I had been waiting for it for a long time . If any of you guys can give me some ideas I would really appreciate it.

Possible fixes
hi,
not sure if you still have the problem since this post is quite old.
You can try restoring the software to original.
1. put your phone in download mode (turn it off, while off plub in the usb cable to the phone and pc, then press volume up button untill the screen shows download mode)
2. start the LG recovery software and add the original phone image
3. details are in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should fix all your issues.
Good luck!
