Hello again,
I was having problems with my old battery and i tried to hard reset my phone when the power was almost half but the batter suddenly hanged my fone in the middle of formatting and now i brought a new battery and its not entering BOOTLOADER MODE when i press the Bulb+Power+Reset button
When i place the phone on charging the indicator on the Phone glows Red and it wont turn on the phone or wont go to bootloader mode...if only you guys can explain me how to enter bootloader mode then i can do the rest.
Thanks.
P.S : Despite all the problems i face using a WM i still love it the most.
Common guys...this forum is my only hope....as i dont have any HTC service centre near my place.
Hoping for some usefull adivces.

How i screwed up my HTC Universal ?
I tried to Hard Reset it when the battery was running on low power and while the process of hard resetting was going on it suddenly shut down due to low power and now it wont even enter bootloader mode....Any help guys ? i purchased it from dubai and i dont even have any HTC repair centre in my city...not that i know off.

Yes i am very sure, As i have previously installed many ROMS on it but this time its not even going into bootloader mode.
I doubt that the bootloader mode itself is currupted or something is there a way to install a fresh bootloader mode ?
Kindly help me out its been a month i havnt used my phone now.,using a Motorola W220 ,from jasjar to w220 is not a very good feeling guys. please sort my problem i dont have anyone to guide me here.
Funny thing is i found a HTC repair center and the guys over their said they only repair HTC products not Imate and imate service centre in whole aisa = 5 or 6 :| checked it on club imate site.

Thanks for your help. I've tried the remedies outlined in the PDF document, including flashing the memory via the SD card. This does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

Yes, that's the funny part; can enter bootloader mode. I've followed the instructions to burn a new ROM to the SD card. After I burn the new ROM to the SD card, I can then burn the new ROM, but as soon as I choose to hard reboot my device, I receive a message reading; CLEARING, then the display fades and nothing further happens.
I will post this answer in the other threads with this problem, but I installed Tomal's WM6.1 v8.2 and the phone worked fine afterward. I think the problem is that some phones don't accept all ROMS.
If only i could enter bootloader mode i would have tried whichever rom you would have suggested but my problem is different i cant even enter Bootloader mode.
And i think only a service center can help me nothing else.
Hi!
My device as similar behavior.
After a failed upgrade at 99%.
It don't Start , can't go to Boot Loader mode.
When I connect to Windows give me usb not recongnized.

and stop's.
Did you manage to put your device in bootloader mode ?
I try ever possible combination of keys and no luck...
Please help!

Hello there...Welcome to the club bro...
Funny thing is i gave my phone to a Local service center and he was able to get it in Bootloader mode but couldnt install a proper ROM as he didnt had one...so i got my problem fixed and i sold my jasjar two days ago for 5000/- Indian Rupees...Thats around $105 .
I have promised myself that i will NEVER buy an Imate as they dont have proper service centers here in my place.I am planning to get Sony X1 now
My suggestion to you...get it repaired and sell it before it gets messed up again.,its a very delicate and very pain in the @$$ phone.Im so happy now ^.^
Mods :Can lock this thread now...i no longer own a jasjar.
How They Get in Bootloader?
Using JTAG ?
Or there is another trick ?
Because Normal combination of key don't work
...
Can you try to find out ?
Thanks

Any updates?
I just broke my HTC hero while flashing and it does not load any bootloader any more, just a black screen... I can charge my battery though (lol) and the LED is working...
Now, when I boot it with pressing VOL_UP and the ON key it vibrates three times, I assume this is the flash mode for .nbh full images...
Does anyone have any suggestions or so? Also, I dont have an .nbh file for it
HALP
please check if you can get into fastboot mode by holding the back button and powering on
no, that _is_ the problem, it does not boot any mode...
only thing it does is vibrating three times and led works, when I boot it with volume-up + ON key
I would send it to HTC but that will take more than 3 weeks to come back :/
EDIT:
a friend told me that the G1 has a flash mode with full-images (like dreaimg.nbh) when booting it with pressing camera + ON
so I was looking for such a thing on my hero, and I found out that volume up + ON boots some kind of thing, hopefully the full-image flash mode
my problem with that is that I am not sure what it is an also I dont have an .nbh file for the hero ...
still I guess the thread might be interesting if we solve the problem because then anyone who bricks it can fix it (except they go showering with it)
i'm sorry but i can't help you with the problem then
i guess you'll have to hope for someone more knowledgeable to come around ...
good luck in any case and i'll keep an eye on this
I hope someone can help or provide an .nbh file or anything helpful for this problem
maybe this thread can help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4120422
felikz: this looks good but I still haven't found an nbh file for my phone, and also I dont really know how to flash it ... so basically I just need help :/ and suggestions, the HTCFlasher looks really good but I dont have an nbh full-image for my phone, and since the hero is pretty young, there isnt that much stuff online already
Is there a way that HTC uses to install the firmware on the phones for the first time ?
Some hardcoded kind of stuff, a chip for flashing or something like that?
I think I screwed my bootloader and this is the reason why nothing works, so I would need to install some kind of bootloader..
EDIT: my computer does not recognize the phone via USB (I thought this information might be useful)
OK... So I managed to extract the official RUU from HTC in order to get the .nbh file for my phone
and voila, another method that just won't work, new HTC hero RUU uses the update.zip format for updating your hero..
So what to do if only the ARM9 mode is working? yes indeed, my phone can even vibrate 3 times and it also includes a working green LED.. YAY
your phone is probably stuck in OEMSBL mode, if its security unlocked there's still some chance you can bring it back to life. Search for 'frankenkaiser' method on kaiser's forum, you have a similar problem but with a different device.
thanks for your reply... I dunno if its security unlocked..
it is not a branded phone, so if you meant that ..
Ok... so I took a look at this, the frankenkaiser method seems to work with devices that show up when connecting them to USB.. my device does not show.. I would need some kind of bootup mode that isnt ****ed up by me as I said, only thing that seems to work is the ARM9 mode and I dont know wheter this is helpful..
if really nothing works on the phone and the pc does not recognize it via usb, then maybe the last method is to send it to htc.. i cannot imagine that you're able to connect with the normal usb cable
Ok thank you guys for helping, I will see what HTC will do, the phone is brandnew so maybe they will give me a new phone :/
again, thanks for your time and for your help
I currently have the same problem as you.
I get 3 vibrations when I press power and Hold vol down.
I was able to get it to boot by holding VOL DOWN + BACK button after powering it up.
Hope it helps
thread back from the dead.
Have there been any fixes for this problem? been searching all morning and all i found was this old thread. I have a telus hero on 1.5, not rooted or anything, about 8 months old. same problem, power on, 3 vibrations and led works. if i boot in fast boot by holding the back button while powering on i get SOMETHING but when i tell it to reset handset it vibrates three times then nothing.

You'd usually be better to make a new thread, but can you flash or fastboot anything?
I have the same problem,
Up + Power vibrates 3 times and shows the green led,
with other combinations the phone shows nothing but if i connect with usb and use:
fastboot devices i get 123456789012 fastboot
does anyone knows how to help?
Try the heroimg.zip method (google it)
i have extracted the rom.zip from a oficial ruu and tried the following:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
but it gave me the following error:
sending 'zip' (97459 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
i've also tried renaming the rom.zip to heroimg.zip, put it in the sd card a start the phone with volume down + power, but the phone does nothing.
Last year(late 2010, maybe mid November), I rooted my phone and flashed recovery with no problem s at all. Some time after that I added Apps2SD and that went smoothly with no problems for about a week. I purchased an 8 GB SD Card for more storage room and after I partitioned it and switched the cards my phone started acting up so i rebooted it. After that I was stuck in a boot loop, so i tried to flash it back to stock but it wouldn't take to it no matter how I tried, whether it be through recovery or SW Update. So then I tried Odin Multi loader(cant remember which version but at the time I made sure it was the one meant for the Intercept) after I flashed it with the Stock through Odin, the phone bricked. Now it will not turn on in any way(recovery or other) the only thing it does do is vibrate when I plug it in to a computer, and it will occasionally show battery life through the touch screen and keyboard buttons by lighting them, but as soon as the it is unplugged it is a brick. I see the little bit of functionality as a little bit of to be able to fix this phone whether through ADB or another function but I desperately need help with this. Can someone please help me fix this phone?
note: I currently have a Samsung Transform as my main phone so if the Intercept can't be helped then it's not that big of a problem.
I have the same problem! Please help!
When you root a phone you put the rom, and recovery onto the sd card. changing sd cards disrupts this process. Put the old sd card in and tell me what happens.
The phone doesnt come on at all
see if you can get it into download mode with the battery out.
Pull battery
connect to computer with usb
vol down + camera + end
If you get into download mode this way flash the stock.tar using SWUpdater.
Nope, it doesnt work, thx though
Ok I've got the same problem with my intercept as well, So i just like to add (maybe its just me) that when i plug my phone to the computer the phone shows that its still functions right (without the screen on), I'm able to make calls, and receive them as well (with the touch of the answer button) but just the screen doesn't turn on, AT ALL!, so KJON i don't know if your having the same problem as me but I'm just a noob and i wouldn't know what to do. But there's some ammo if you need it.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! i dont even know where /sdcard/sdx/zip/ is!
My phone is also a samsung transform and not and intercept and whenever i press vol down+ Power, only the function buttons at the bottoms light up but not the screen
i am a noob.
help?
noooooob here...i didnt wanna start another thread since i have this same problem, so i hope someone reads this..
couple days ago i bricked my sprint intercept i was using SWu and forgot to take the Binary files for the Moment out so now i cant get my phone to DL mode, ive been searching since saturday night and have tried every Button combo posted and nothing, my phone will not turn on and ofcourse it isnt recognized by my pc BUT, ive noticed that only when its plugged in to the computer after trying to power it up several times it´ll vibrate then the 4 touch buttons will react to either the call or end button, also it makes the low battery sound and if i press the camera button it makes the volume sound but i CANT get to download mode, can i bring my phone back or is it done with? help please! and thanks in advance...
well, i would say boot into rrecovery by making the phone off either power button, or remove and replace battery.
next, you will need to press and hold in order: power/end call, call, and volume down.. this should boot recovery mode.
lastly, use the red scroll device to go to reset facory defaults or factory recovery, use common sense while looking. select with clicking and use arrow back button to go back to recovery main, then reboot to system. easy as pie.
Have you tried ODIN or ADB?
I have flashed the Intercept numerous times, soft bricked more than once, I was always able to recover using either the stock bootloader, CWM recovery, or flashing the ROM/Kernel directly using ODIN or ADB.
If you are still having these issues drop me a line and I'll gather some links together that should get you back up and running.
If the phone will not boot at all, even with a charged battery, I would definately try contacting Virgin Mobile and escalating the issue. I've had plenty of luck replacing devices claiming that the device just dropped dead without notice. They are usually good about sending out a replacement phone, and on rare occasions even giving you an upgraded unit if they are out of stock.
Good luck!
Did you use Odin or the swupdater?
Bug difference. Sounds like there's a missing boot loader.

Hi, did you guys fix your bricked phones? Today I have bricked my Samsung transform (bad flash went with SW upgrade.
Only vibrates sometimes and the buttons flash a little, but no boot at all. Is there any chance to fix it? even with Jtag?

You can try to factory reset it... Follow the following
Press Vol Up + Vol Down Key (Press in middle so that both are pressed)
Press Home Key
Now Press Power
GT I5801 logo will appear
Leave the keys and your phone will boot into recovery
Try wiping cache first and if not working factory reset it
If after this it doesnt work, Install Kies...It will install drivers
Follow the above steps except press vol down key instead of both
Phone will go into download mode.... Plug in USB and flash it
hello guys ... I then tried the key combination .. but nothing to do., or any sign of life .... other ideas ... damn it bothers me back for assistance!
Just flash your phone with new rom. For this use Odin and OPS file and rom .
Boot into download mode of gt-5800 by using vol - , power and home button all at a time. Then you can flash new firmware from Odin , use one package or other option specific to rom and your phone will start working again. Hope this helps.
Post any problem while flashing.

Did the phone hung during upgrade process or Kies hung during download process?
If phone hung during upgrade process and now you cannot boot that means your phone is hard bricked. This is because when you upgrade the phone through kies, it updates the boot loader and when phone hung during the process means bootloader is corrupted. In this scenario, you need to take the phone to service center and get hardware replaced
then I guess I'll have to bring your cell phone service ... damn ..
Grazzi guys for the help anyway .. I just know you know the developments of the case ..
hello
have you ever tried anything like flashing before? if not take it to samsung service centre and say it is not switching on.
Hi,
I was trying to update my phone to latest Froyo dragon and it was not booting. I then flashed it to Gingebread Yoshi but was happy with it so tried Froyo dragon again and noticed that I needed to update the radio.
I updated the radio it and seemed ok but then my battery dropped out. Now it will not boot pass the "MyTouch 3g" green splash screen. From investigating it seems that because hboot and radio are not matching versions this is the problem.
I cannot get into recovery mode at all. I cannot get in Fastmode or Hboot nor use AdB as usb it is not recognised by my computer. I have tried a few different computers but non recognise it. Blue led with trackball+power is the only key combo that works.
Things i have tried:
- Fully charged phone and left it on but it just goes flat eventually.
- Tried all different combinations to boot Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Home+ Power, Trackball down plus power loads with black screen and blue led.
- Downloaded various sappimg.zip and SAPPIMG.nhb files to sd using adaptor and tried to boot with no luck.
- I have also created a couple of goldcards but didnt make any difference.
Any other suggestions or do I just have a paperweight?
Is there other files that I can put on the goldcard so I can access recovery?
Does the phone need to have a valid SIM card in order to get into recorver,hboot,fastboot, or just to boot. I did try a sim once but did not go back to it.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Regads,
Arch
No, i don't think you need a SIM-card to get it running - didn't need one to debrick mine.
So, you tried many things, but i don't think there is a way to flash the phone with sappimg.zip or nbh because you don't get into fastboot mode.
What you can try:
- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again
- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you
- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...oter-vodafone-bildschirm-geloest-dsc00624.jpg
If nothing works the only way to get it back to life is JTAG, maybe you can find someone who's doing that (where are you from?).
Hi Thanks,
Tried all above but no dice.
Anything else I could try. I am in Australia so don't know anyone with Jtag. I guess I may just have to sell it for parts. Seems such a shame though
Hopefully somebody finds a way.
Sorry, but i think there's nothing you can do for your phone. :crying:
Bluelight-Mode works (Trackball+Power), so only JTAG will help, but i don't know how to find this service in your area. Search for a repair-shop with JTAG in your area or ask here at XDA or some other community. Maybe find that service on ebay.
Another possibility is that you buy a Riff Box and learn how to unbrick your phone yourself - maybe provide your service for some other people around your area and earn the money you payed for the Riff Box. :laugh:
Good luck!
