*Bricked phone or fried battery?*

Well, me being a little riskay was messing with my phone flashing new roms and themes and stuff kinda thinks I really may have bricked or fried my battery. The last thing I downloaded was a recovery image for the Mytouch from HTC. My phone attempted to boot back up and the HTC screen came on. I pulled the battery out b/c it wasn't going anywhere (pretty sure I didn't unplug from my computer ) And put my battery back in and tried to turn on. Anyways it won't charge, turn on or anything. Bricked or fried battery?
No bashing please, just asking a ? before I decide to make an executive decision !!

the only thing that shouldve bricked the phone was a radio flash an spl to my knowledge read up on installing adb and after its installed properly see if the phone is recognized when you turn it on if it is then you should be able to get it back

O I got what you said... Ive been having issues trying to download SDK for my computer. Windows says it's not installed properly..ive tried about a million dam times.

Different computer
Ok i think i figured it out. I ran CMD and typed C:\android-sdk-windows\tools then adb devices I don't see my device listed. Then adb shell :error device not found.

OK so i think not sure if this would do anything but when i put my sd card into my computer it tells me that there are problems with some of the files on my sd card. Im thinking that the recovery image that was flashed was corrupted.

Do we think making a gold card would maybe work??

Dead or Bricked?
I have the same situation...
I have recently bought a MT3G second hand....
When I first got the phone, it worked fine, but the battery was low, but I managed to wipe it before it eventually died (stooooppppiiiid).
Now, when I plug it in, nothing happens. When I hit the power button, the only thing that happens is the red LED blinks...thats it.
I tried multiple chargers, none of them work.
Is it bricked or is the battery dead?

Try and swap out the battery I did have this happen within one month of buy a mytouch, same red led. Go into a store and ask them to swap in a new battery.
If it is the battery buy a new one and hold on to the packaging, put in the old battery and return it to a different tmobile

Oh man, when you were constantly reflashing did you wipe before you reflashed? And it wont get back into clockwork or fastboot?

yea i wiped then reflash it was going back to fastboot for a while until figured out to just flash the stock rom and just do the process all over again but by that time the phone was on while i downloaded it and when i went to turn it off to get into bootloader it never turned back on I tried taking everything out let it sit then put the battery back nothing then I thought the battery was dead so i plugged it to the ac charger and i get no red amber or green light, then i thought the battery was damaged but when i plugged to the pc this morning it was detected but as qhsusb_dload ever since then i been searching for the driver for it but no luck

It sounds like you bricked yourself. Providing more info may help. How did you root? Did you use ROM manager? What version of clockwork were you using. Do you have engineering bootloader. What Rom did you try and flash? What version were you on? Be as specific as you can and the great team of guys/girls here can walk you through it , if it's recoverable at this point.

Do you have ADB installed with the usb drivers? If not I would do that and then run adb devices and see if your phone shows up. If that doesn't work I would either get a new battery to see if you can at least get to the bootloader and then revert to stock or call HTC at 866-449-8358 and play the victim card. Good luck!

if you pull the battery and put it back in. Hold down the power button and the volume down rocker on the volume controls. Can you get into hBoot?

[Resolved] Blocked in Clock Work Mod

Hello, I have a problem with my tablet.
Yesterday I installed the ROM "Prime 1.4" with NVFLASH and I realized that the power button worked 1 out of 10.
This morning my tablet rebooted continuously without booting android, just boot animation.
To stop that, I held the power button and volume down to enter the recovery CWM but CWM not responding, I can not reboot my tablet, I tried to do a hard reset but it does not work, I do not know if it was because my power button has problems or if the tablet does not work at all.
Do you have any idea what can I do? I could bring it back to my dealer for my trade but it would remove recovery screen.
Thank you in advance for your solutions!
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Sounds like you had a "bad" flash. Try re-flash the ROM again.

I can't doing anything, i've CWM on the screen but it is blocked ... :/

You don't need CWM. You can re-flash follow this guide.
If you can't shutdown the device. Let your battery drain 100% and then charge it 50% and try again.

Yes but I can't exit from CWM, to reflash with NVFLASH I need to shutdown the device but I can't :/
But thanks for your reply.

Have you tried the 12second Power Button fix to turn the unit off?
If that doesnt work then you will have to wait until the battery runs out and turns off so you can plug the charger back in and try to unbrick it.
Mark.

Yes I tried but without results ...
It's OK, my Dealer gave me a new one.
Thanks for all

Desire HD Brick?

Hello Guys,
i have a question about problem i have with my DEsire HD.
I've turned my device of last night and i tryed to put it on this morning, but its freezes at the white Backround Green "HTC" screen. I've taken out the battery and gave it another try, but it still freezes the same way.
I thought i can fix the problem by Updating from revolution hd 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 but at the installation with recovery mode over boot laoder ( power on + vol down ), i get an error Status 7.
I've searched google and found you have to super wipe your device and wipe the cache, ive done this and now i only can acces the Bootloader if i try to get to recovery mode, the recov mode loops.
Is there a way to unbrick my dive over H-Boot USB Plug?

Get the sdk, go bootloader, and do 'flash recovery recovery name.img'

If that doesnt work, you could always redownload the stock 1.32 rom [Download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003] and paste it onto the SD card. When booting into bootloader it should re-install the stock rom. You'll have to re-root and install recovery again.

It s not a brick for sure...

Think I've bricked mine, when I attempt to power on, nothing happens except for 5 short battery vibrations, black screen, green battery light stays on. I have a back up but cant acces recovery to install it. Please HELP!!

Id reckon its hard to brick them nowadays

Does it respond on your USB connection ? Take out your SD card... Most unlikely it became trash what were you doing before it went black ?

This has happened to me a couple of times, remove the battery and leave it out for a couple of minutes, reboot and voila (although it might not boot to OS, you should at least be able to access recovery)

Hi. DId you fix the issue. I have 2 devices with the same simptoms, i flashed stock rom, custom roms, but nothing helps. I think problem is in radio, cause even if i flash it from fastboot and it gives me that ok is OK, radio version didn't change.

is there any update abt ur problem

Samsung A20 semi-hard bricked

Please help ASAP. I tried to install lineage os with MindGapps. After I flashed lineageos with twrp, I rebooted it and now it doesnt turn on. I tried to go to download mode, but doesnt.
The phone doesnt turn on. When I press and hold power button + volume down button for 7 seconds, samsung+knox logo appears and then 'phone bootloader unlocked' warning appears for few seconds.
An hour ago, somehow I managed to open its download mode. To test how it got opened, I restarted my device, but unfortunately, I couldnt go back to download mode. Is there any way to solve this problem? I want to go back to download mode

Hold the volume + and - buttons down at the same time and then plug in the usb cable into the phone.

I first flashed twrp-black or something and it didn't work properly so I installed twrp-official downloaded from website. But then, after installing the official one, the recovery got corrupted. I couldn't boot into downloadmode, but luckily, it was just some key combination that was wrong, so, with a right key combination. I booted into download mode and reinstalled the initial firmware.

Yes, it just looks like it is bricked but it is not yet completely bricked.
The solution was simple.
First, completely power off device (don't restart, just turn off). After that, by certain keys combination, go to download mode.
It seems it doesn't work while restarting but works if it is completely turned off.(At least in my case it had been so)

I do know how to enter in download mode, but even when I upload the TWRP again and start over the process it get into the same black screen. I was wondering if Samsung Knox is blocking this action.

I have a one A20(SM-A205F).And I when installing the rom with odin in device, I unplugged the device cable on pc. Since that time device no reaction.PC, seen one second device's processor name. Can I bring the device back to life ?
