I can't understant why doing that the device has unbricked, I probably must do the same.
anyone else tried?
is this really working???
can anyone other than the OP confirm this works? what showed up on the screen when it was bricked? Did it have the 'arrow coming out of the box' symbol, when the phone was switched on?
i did nt get big arrow or anything my phone wouldnt boot period all i kept getting was a blue light no fastboot or adb would work until i did this the only reason i tried it was because someone mentioned to me to replace the track ball i dont know why but it worked
Did you happen to remove the little battery when you did this?
no i only disconnected the cable leading to track ball the if u look where the track ball is you can pry and pop out the track ball i did it just to look around in there ...i am not a tech but i do have a basic understanding of somethings and i think for some reason in my situation it may have reset something i really dont know but my phone was a brick for half a day with me trying to use google as my friend typing away at fastboot and adb commands only to get nothing ..but when one person told me i may need a new track ball i just decided to look inside on how that a bad flash would effect the track ball but i did what i did and i am back using my phone but i did notice one thing today i had put my phone in fastboot and the normally when it loads those command or whatever about loading img. ...its now saying no image
Thanks, I will try this. Unfortunately I gave away my battery and cable... I still have doubts about this helping me, as I flashed the wrong radio. Where as you just flashed a bad update.
did u use a 32b radio

hi,
quick question. my friend rooted the phone and then flashed hardSPL but i think it was the wrong one. the last thing we saw was a box with a arrow on it and the phone has been dead ever since.
was this the same for you ? we would love to be able to unbrick his phone.
brick
hi,
i have a 32b magic, and since yesterday it just doesn't startup anymore.
i just get a black screen, with backlight on. (also no adb/fb/recovery)
if i hold trackball while power on, i get the blue led
i've searched, but haven't found any similar problem, cause i don't get that box with an arrow.
to unbrick this, you just disconnected the trackball?
pls be more specific
HEEEELLPPP!

Sounds like you erased or flashed an invalid SPL (usually people brick into boot mode 3 where the radio + SPL works but is forcing the boot of a broken recovery image) Thus the user becomes stuck at the splash screen.
Regardless if blue light mode woks and nothing else will boot [and you are not stuck in blue light mode]:
the only option at this point in time is using JTAG to force an engineering SPL to load.. then use that to fix the rest of the phone.

The OP likely had a stuck trackball.
Holding the trackball when you power on puts you in the blue-led mode and doesn't let you do anything else. Being in blue-led mode doesn't mean you are bricked, it's just a mode in which the phone can start up. If the op's trackball got "stuck", it would explain his problem. Replacing the faulty trackball likely is what solved his problem.
It would be nice if the OP could update the first entry to reflect as much.
If your phone isn't voluntarily going into blue-led mode on it's own, this "fix" likely won't do anything for you. You still have a brick... like me

hi terry ...
quick question.
the jtag de-bricking that everyone is mentioning is said to work with g1/dream/g2 ... is this also possible with the magic(sapphire) 32A ?
like i said my friend bricked his loading hardSPL and the phone is charging and i can get into the blue led mode no problem.
if it is possible would the pinouts be the same or similar for the magic? i am quite keen to give it a bash if i can be pointed in the right direction.
thanx in advance.
Thank for you response
but i didn't flash any new spl or something else.
i had my phone working fine with spl/radio/rom.
but then i shut down, and after that i couldn't power up
i reboot my working magic with froyo and then is dead.
its keeps rebooting and no fastboot or recovery mode only if i press trackball and on the phone i got blue led, any solutions ???
Regards Sn00py
But what exactly was the problem, when you turned it on it automatically turned the blue led or did that happen when you pressed the trackball+power? im going to try to debrick my magic now but must it be on with the blue led or off?

Who are you asking, the OP? They just had a stuck trackball, so they couldn't boot normally.
It doesn't matter, just continue.
Hi everyone.
First, I apologies for my bad english, but I'm french
So here is the problem :
Last week my trackball light up in blue, I tried to unlock the screen by pressing the power button but nothing happened ( blue trackball was the color of a new messsage ) so I pulled out the battery, and when I started the phone up it bugged.. screen was completly ****ed up, it was showing a red or a green screen.
after some hours, I started again, the phone started in safe mode and was all times rebooting.
Some hours after, the phone was only booting on the bootloader ( like if I was pressing the trackball )
When I entered in the recovery of amon ra, I could'nt select anything with the trackball ( i can move into the different selection, but I can't click on anything ) I can feel the " click " but nothing happened.
Now that I'm back home, I tired to reboot my phone by fastboot reboot, there the phone is launching quite well but in safemode. I can't strat it correctly.
If I shut it down, and press the power button, it return again on the bootloader.
I really don"t know what I can do. The sellers on ebay does'nt answer me when I ask him the warrantly
EDIT : I can acces the safe mode from my computer by taping " fastboot reboot" but the click trackball does'nt answer into android too
Must I open my phone ?
Looks like your trackball button is faulty and stuck in "on" position. The problem you're describing is most likely HW.
I bought it on ebay, and the guy who sell it to me, does'nt answer anymore, without any warrantly htc wont take it back
what are my options ? dismantle it by myself ?
Most probably so, unless you can find a workshop that agrees to repair the phone for a reasonable price.
put some water on the trackball and push it down and move it around this happened tomine also and it is because of dust collecting on it and it messes up the sensors

I think, rather than water, I'd try some rubbing alcohol or something. . .
I tried water and alcohol, but still the same, I think there is something broken in my phone
I will send it tomoroww and I hope they won't say anything for the warrantly
Hey guys
I am really sad because my wildfire became handicapped today...
I was playing around with it surfing and playing games
Then I put it on the table played abit on the pc but when I picked it up again the screen didn't turn on when I press unlock I felt feedback so it means the phone works the screen isn't tried restart it vibrates but doesn't turn on screen...
What can be the cause?
Is it because I updated nightlys every two or so days?
Thanks
Plug battery out. And plug it. It happen for me a few times in nightly

tried everything...
battery pull out, charge it, remove sim\sd... anything...

oh and forgot to mention
right before the screen died it went white then it never turned on again
is there a way to flash an rom to the wildfire without touching the device? i.e cable?
i currently have no screen but the device is alive...
Is your screen completely dead? Or only after booting? I.e can you see the bootamimation? Try booting into bootloader mode (volume down + power)
If your screen is completely dead it might be a hardware issue.

Why is this in the Dev Forum? Please move!
Yes perhaps it is in the wrong section but by posting that your basically spamming up the forum.
Anyway on topic i agree find out if it really is your screen or just a dodgy flash of a rom

sorry didnt know where to post,
and no i dont even see the animation... as i turn it on i only feel vibration for a sec then i can hear it boot.. but still no screen..
oddly it was after flashing a nightly..
and as i asked:
can anyone tell me if theres a way to flash RUU without screen ? i suspect it might be a problem with software..
Hmmmm you could get sdk and get mobile on pc screen.
not too sure but exhaust all avenues. Have you tried soft reset?
Vol down + power + trackball

In my experience with ipods, a white screen is usually a hardware issue (ie it needs changing), which seems to be consistent with what you experience (no startup logo).
I hope it is not the case for you, and that your problem will be solved by flashing a different rom.
Hello, so my atrix was perfect like 2 hours ago. I ad neutrinos rom gt+ on it for like 2 days days and everything was perfect. But ! well i was playing a bit with it and deleted some stuff in the android folder of my internal sd, it was only real racing 2 game files and some other stuff. I played some more with it and my screen started flashing strangely and doing weird stuff. I closed the screen, i opened back same thing. The phone shutted down itself. I tried rebooting and now im stuck at the red m logo with unlocked in the top left corner. i tried to access recovery by doing a battery pull and rebooting but i dont have access to the little menu. Anybody can help me fix this?
Silly question but are you holding down the volume down rocker button during boot? Do you get the prompt for fastboot, android recovery, etc ?
If it pops up scroll down using volume down to android recovery and hit the volume up to select it.
Should be able to fix it from there.
When i hold down volume down button there is absolutely no prompt pf any kind =\ i already installed some stuff with cwm and i had to go through there, but now i have nooothing =(

Did you update to the latest firmware? If so it might be wise to see about reflashing that same firmware again with RSD. It's a pain in the arse and you might have to do it a few times to get it to work right, but it is possible. I had the latest build CM7 on my atrix and I reflashed to stock just to see if I could.
I'm not kidding though when I say it's a painful process, the phone might get stuck in a boot loop (where it goes to the M Dual Core logo and just reboots). If that happens you're still okay cause you can just keep reflashing the stock .sbf file till it takes (just don't downgrade).
Your call though.
Meh today its completely dead, i checked it today and all ihave is green led =(
Edit: Plugged it in wall charge instead of computer, back to M logo =(
Unlocked bootloader so best not to use RSD. Can you get fastboot? Reboot and hold volume up instead of down.

Find a friend with an Atrix and use their phone to charge your battery, or try going into an AT&T store and asking if you can charge it there on a display phone.
Im in canada =/ but one of my friend got an atrix, ill charge the battery with his phone BUT back when my battery was still charged i still couldnt get to fastboot/recovery power+up and power+down didnt worked neither. Is it hard bricked?
Il also ordered stuff to make a motorola factory cable, think i will be able to do anything with this?
Still seeking help guys! I loved my atrix please help me to recover it :/

Well, if you can't get into either recovery, fastboot, or rsd mode you won't be able to fix it. Make sure you're pressing the volume down button as you boot the phone, and keep it held down until the options come up.

My screen broke 6 months ago, so it wasn't used/charged for 6 months. Now I've replaced the screen, but it won't start up anymore. First thing I saw was the warning "low battery", so I charged it for a while. Still, nothing. Charged it for several days, nothing. Checked the battery voltage, 3.80 volts, exactly what it should be I think?
The phone does do something though. When I hold the "on" button, after 5 seconds it buzzes and the screen shows the oneplus logo and android. Just for two seconds, then nothing. Same thing with "on" and volume down, the start-up screen for 2 seconds...
When I use "on" and volume up, I get the screen saying "fastboot mode". And that doesn't go away untill I press "on" for a while.
I can connect it to my laptop, but cant see it. But when I take the battery out while connected to the laptop, the phone will show the "low battery" warning. Connect the battery again, and the logo and android message come on for two seconds...nothing more.
So the screen works, the battery is charged, but no way to turn it on. Tried holding the "on" button for 15 seconds, same result. Just a 2 seconds oneplus logo visible...
I have no clue what this could be, I hope its not completely fubar...
Thanks in advance, Fred Doe
Hey Fred Doe,
I wouldn't like to hijack your post, but I seem to have run into the exact same issue here.
A friend of mine got his screen replaced, and the phone acts exactly the same as yours.
I have disassembled the phone and checked all connections, but everything seems to be correct on the inside.
The phone does seem to boot, and it does boot into recovery mode (it responds to the button presses by vibrating) but the screen just doesn't show anything.
Only when doing fastboot the screen stays on.
Hopefully someone here can point us in the right direction.
there's not much to hijack here...sure sounds like the same problem. At this moment I gave up, guess its a lost cause..
Guys, the exactly same thing here. I've tried to unbrick it but failed.... So far what I know is that bootloader is locked.
I would like to know what steps should us do in order unlock bootloader, get screen functioning while getting access back to bootloder (TWRP) so after that we can install a new ROM!
Any clue from the community of OnePlus 2? This phone is still a good phone! Thnx
Have you guys tried running the msm tool. It'll restore everything to stock if you can it to work. If either of you have magisk installed it can cause issues with charging while the phone is off I believe.
I mean honestly sounds more like hardware issue that a msm wouldn't fix, but it's weird that your screen works in fastboot.
If you do the msm tool though be aware it will wipe everything on your device, and relock the bootloader if it is unlocked.
Like I said doubt it will help, but just a thought.
Edit: Also make sure you use the correct one for your device.
Edit sorry guys wrong forum ignore everything I said. Apparently xda labs thought my OP6T was a OP2.

But the screen does show up & stays on in fastboot?
I'm no expert but any stretch. I just jumped ship from lg my 6t is the 1st OP phone I've owned. But if the screen does work normally in fastboot then it wouldn't be illogical to entertain the idea that it was a software issue. So I mean this is a bit of a chin scratcher.

Thanks for replying.
IWhen I press Power + Vol. Up it shoes Fast Boot screen. Then I connect cable and sometimes I can use command line but can't unlock bootloader with command line. All methods found indicate to use Recovery but since my screen doesn't work on Recovery I'm stuck.
When I press Power + Vol. Down (for entering Recovery) screen it goes all black but the capacitive buttons and Volume button give back a vibration response, as if it have entered Recovery Mode but since I can't see nothing on screen I can do anything either.
My bootloader is locked because I see that info via command line.
Thanks anyway
PS: I think something is corrupted. My OP2 was unlocked much time ago. I frquently change ROM's and have also updated TWRP. The only thing I did was disassembling the phone in order to change a shattered screen glass.
I've also tried different methods and installed in my pc different Qualcomm drivers, ADB, etc.
I'm getting close to the point of testing with broken touch, buying a new touch screen but with frame or giving up completely and buy a new phone :|
The last option get me in doubt because I would like a phone wich is good and fast and decent battery but not with a premium price... and popular so I can unlock it without hassle in order to install root apk's.
