A few days ago I bricked my phone. I performed a SPL flash which seemed to go ok, the phone rebooted and then just stuck at the first splash screen. I waited for 30 minutes and it was still there.
I then removed the battery, reinserted it, and tried booting into recovery mode. Nothing happened, it just stuck at the first splash screen.
So I removed the battery again, reinserted it, and tried booting into fastboot mode. Nothing happened, it just stuck at the first splash screen.
I repeated these steps a few times with the same result.
I tried booting it with the USB cable attached, the result was the same, and Windows showed the phone as an 'unrecognized device'.
At this point, I was nearly crying, my phone was a brick.
Then, for some reason I tried the following:
-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.
-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).
-I removed the battery.
-I Connected USB.
-I inserted the battery.
-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.
-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image! Yay!
That's it. I didn't test it any more thoroughly for obvious reasons, I just reflashed the SPL and everything was back to normal.
I hope this helps someone in the future....
Very nice..
wow seriously, didnt expected that..
good job mate!
btw wat did u do to cause the brick?

As I said above, I had been flashing the SPL, and when I rebooted following the flash it was bricked (stuck at first splash screen).
It's weird, because once I managed to get back into fastboot, I simply flashed the same SPL again and it worked fine.
thats not really unbricking your phone. gotta be bricked meaning it wont even go to the splashscreen. and there is no way to unbrick it at that point. Still for those that end up in same situation as you this might help indeed.

Never seen someone say the splash screen isn't coming up without blaming the hardware. I didn't think that flashing the wrong SPL would case the splash to not come up. I bricked my first phone by stupidly flashing the wrong SPL first before loading an OS. I thought the whole point of using the word 'brick' was when referring to the phone failing to enter 'fastboot' and 'recovery mode'. At that point, the phone would technically be a 'brick'. This has to be the first post I've seen with a possible fix but I could be wrong since I gave up on fixing that phone awhile ago.

bricking means you can't get to fastboot or recovery no matter what you do.
so he counts as bricking.
this might be a fix for the haykuro spl bricked users..
Well done if we have HTC G1 user with brick phone who want to try this methode and give feedback

No, You can still get to your splashscreen when the phone is bricked, If you cant turn on the phone then thats called the phone is dead not bricked. As stated already if you can't fastboot, or get to recovery then thats a brick.
Just tried it does not work and I was flash the death spl from haykuro,I am getting a new one but wanted to see if this works and I did not think it would which it didnt.

Posted the fix on the android community forums. I have none person in mind, bricked it applying a spl, but he hasn't relied yet. Keep you informed if he does.
Did you reflash ROM after applying spl..? If you did and it still didn't boot then that should most likely be a brick. Can you boot into recovery right now and tell us your SPL version and radio?

Yes bricking your phone is when it wont even turn on! In the case of the sapphire when you hold power the led will flsh red quickly once then nothing.
On the blackstone you dont even get the pleasure of the led flash if your phone will turn on there is a way to get it fixed.
When ive been stuck on the bootscreen i have managed to revert using sappimg.nbh (which is 32b in my case) dunno where i got it from but i have it!
sappimg.zip (which is 32A) i got from Amon_RA's post and also have that, ive managed to revert back with both images after being stuck on "red screen of death"
A bit of a personal opinion here:
"Dead" is when the phone doesn't respond to anything, at all.
The charging light does not come on, the power button does nothing, and there is not so much as a flicker in the screen. Also, it is completely inaccessible for hardware debugging (JTAG, serial, USB or otherwise). This usually happens from a hardware problem, or doing something stupid like zero'ing the IPL.
Examples:
- My brother dropped his Nokia N75 in water. It's dead.
- I dropped my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) on the ground. It doesn't power on any more, and plugging it into the charger does nothing. Voltmeter shows a charge running through some areas of the device's motherboard once disassembled. It's dead.
Solutions: Replace, recycle or sell for parts.
"Bricked" is when a purely software problem causes the device to no longer respond.
This may happen on many levels, but usually results in the OS not booting, or booting and being completely unusable (e.g. stopped with kernel panic at OS splash). It may light up and/or show a splash screen, but it fails to enter the bootloader or recovery menus. Its recoverability may vary, but will usually involve a debugging tool and a computer, and likely a copmlete wipe of everything on the device. Even if it's heavily bricked, if it can be recovered via JTAG or similar, it's not "dead".
Examples:
- HTC Dream only goes as far as splash screen, and freezes there. Does not respond to ADB. Does not enter recovery, or bootloader, however fastboot responds.
- HTC Dream shows blank screen, but lights up as if it were powering on. Fastboot does not respond. I connect my HTC ExtUSB Serial dongle to it though, and I'm able to get a response to some commands.
- Western Digital MyBook World Edition NAS powers on, and spins up hard drive, but does not go any farther than that. Front lights do not light up, and no hard disk activity is heard. Networking is not yet enabled. Hard drive can, however, manually be connected to a PC with SATA, and the firmware image re-written to its partitions.
- XBOX (the original) was softmodded, but the dashboard.xbe (the OS shell) was overwritten. It now just stays at the Microsoft logo.
- iPhone was recently jailbroken and SIM unlocked, then Apple pushed an update on me, and my iPhone is in a state where it doesn't enter DFU/Recovery, and when it boots, it says "Emergency calls only."
Solutions: Be very careful not to further brick the device, but use any methods available. Be sure to check documentations, search forums, and then ask questions if unsure. Make sure you finish every process you start.
After this, might just be hardware "damage" (like a power button not working right) or software "errors", like the home screen failing to load because of "Process com.google.android.gapps quit unexpectedly." These are usually relatively easy to fix, or have fixed.
Again, this is just an opinion.
Back on topic though, I seriously wouldn't have probably thought of using fastboot while it's stuck at the G1 screen, unless mine were bricked. Kudos to you, and I hope this works on some other bricked G1's out there (At least ones with the Engineering/Hard/DangerSPL, the stock SPL doesn't support fastboot as far as I know.)

Won't agree with that, what you describe as a brick is a DEAD mobile. A brick is a useless piece which wont get into any state of recovery. The only thing i will agree with is that if it'll turn on there is a way to get it fixed that's why we even got the word unbricking which is done with many other pieces than Android mobiles.
Hope this will get us closer to a unbricking method which works on all the BRICKED pieces out there.
Good job dude!
Yes, my phone is back!
I bricked my G1 about 2 months ago pretty much the same way marcdbl did.
I gave up on it and sit it aside getting a new MT3G.
Sweet, now I got 2 phones to play with.
Thank You marcdbl

Very glad to hear that your dead or bricked or whatever-you-may-call phone is back to LIVE!!!
So I think this solution works for some certain people. So i think rather than arguing on terminology, better spread this good trick to people who had dead/bricked/whatevery-you-may-call phone. IMHO
Thanks for the solution.
Best,

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 !!

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

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?

Thanks but i am no able to access fastboot after installing spl ,they told me that somehow it can be recovered with pushing power+trackball... I do not know.

To recover it from power+trackball you need a special tool that costs.....(RIFF JTAG).Do you have access to recovery(power+home and wait for 1 minute after vodafone logo) or android?

edit-I made a samsung 1gb goldcard.
I really do not understand well the use of a gold card I only managed to install an update in it via hboot. Then tried installing modified spl and... screwed it.
Damaged SPL maybe..Did you removed the battery or something unusual happened when flashing spl??If not try removing the battery for 1 hour and try again to enter Fastboot mode.If not again i dont know..(i think bricked)

after flashing spl it said reboot phone to complete pressing back and power button i did it and nothing, removed battery and at the moment I removed it, the icon on background appear the one that looks like a box, when you install updates to android. And since then the phone just wont let me enter fastboot or wont load up, I was wondering if there is someway I could enter fastboot.
Thanks for the help.
Phone is screwed, only gets to vodafone splash... no recovery access, no fastboot or anything. Any suggestion?
If phone does not load into any mode - then it is successfully bricked.
P.s. three modes
Recovery: home + power
Fastboot: back + power
Hboot: volumedown + power
P.p.s. search for repair-shop with jtag hardware. They can restore your phone

Does someone knows if I can take the trackball and sim card conector out of the main board and use it on the other one?
It has a flex cable that can be disconnected but do not know If it could actually come out.
Edit- I received the other one today.. it is demolish on the outside but the mainboard works. It turns on and evertything... will fix the new one with it.
I WILL NEED HELP ROOTING, UNLOCKING AND INSTALLING 2.3 fastest rom avaible. Will pay 5$ for anyone who could help me out step by step, PM for details.
hello i have another problem close to this could anyone help ?
i can get into fastboot mode but my recovery is messed up is there anyway to fix this?
I fixed it with the mainboard!
Hey guys I manage to get it working again, but this mainboard is untouched, no root, no unlock...
I need help rooting,unlocking and installing android 2.3 will pay 5$ for anyone who could help me!
OH SH*T I installed recovery via ROM MANAGER PREMIUM and managed to install the custom rom awesome!
So i was trying the new beta for PA android and when i was on recovery wiping as usual, the wipe process just froze there for a while, i decided to leave it till it worked again but to no avail it didnt budge at all, so i commited the ultimate sin, and powered it off by holding the power button...
when i tried again tu turn it on the tablet would go thru the google with the padlock screen and then show me a black screen with a little logo of clockworkmod and a version number below, the screen itself has no use since no matter what button i press it does nothing, other than that the tablet keeps rebooting after that.
when i try any combination of buttons to access either the real recovery or the bootloader the tablet just plain ignores that im trying to turn it on, just doesnt work, it just turns on if im not pressing anything besides the power button.
to sum up to all my problems i would love to keep trying and see if at anypoint it will turn to bootloader, i havent seen the notification of the tablet being charged... meaning that i dont know if it has enough battery to last me the remaning ideas i had.
So in a nutshell
-no bootloader
-no fastboot
-no recovery
-cant tell if battery or not
Please if anyone knows how to fix or at least get me to a bootloader i would fix everything else, but i really need the guidance here
Have you tried another charger and cable? A simple idea, but not one to over look.
Without bootloader menu or recovery, not much you can do. I'd work on getting into one of those first. Not much you can do until then.

Yeah ive tried 4 other chargers, and nothing new, i know that the os itself takes care of the charging as does the recovery in some cases, but since i have non i dont know if its gonna charge at all or not and trying doesnt sound really appealing since i should save battery in case theres a solution and needs battery power
but thanks for the answer

Are you able to get adb to recognize the device with "adb devices"?

Dont really know how to check, i mean i could get into the tools and try the command Adb Devices but how should i even begin to test? i mean shouldnt i be in a adb static platform on the device? if i try to get into bootloader it just doesnt turn on, and when it does it goes straight to the black screen with the clockworkmod symbol and numbers
Thanks for the answer

if you have enough battery and can get pc to see is thru adb. you may be able to fastboot a new rom onto the device. You can from pc Request device to go into bootloader or fast boot from the PC..
This is your only shot.. I Would suggest borrow a friends Nexus 7 Full Battery . If you do not know how to do any of this . Use skips root kit and use the unbrick or factory reset. it will force your device into fast boot and flash a new rom.
Good Luck

yeh i know how to use the skip toolkit, yet i hope i have enough battery for the test, because the only friend that i know owns a nexus 7 left the country a few months back, so the battery sounds like its gonna be hard to get. Anyways, as u were saying theres a posibility that while the tablet is rebooting and rebooting it might be able to be found on the adb devices? and use the fastboot, cuz if thats true u would be the hero ive been waiting for...
imma check and tell u later,
thanks for the answer
