I have noticed that while there are many guides to do this, people still ask the question in threads, so I'll simplify it here. It is meant as an Odin helper.
Make sure you have downloaded the files you need (firmware and odin) from the bottom of this post. I have only included Odin v3.1 and the needed file for UCJF6 restore, cause the jh3 and other stuff is too big to upload directly. This Odin works with all firmwares. Just d/l the desired firmware and use this odin to flash. Just unzip both my files and there you go.
1 - PHONE MUST BE POWERED OFF (not plugged in and pull the battery for 5 seconds if you have to).
2 - Open Odin and choose the files you need. Do everything EXCEPT press start.
3 - HOLD BOTH volume buttons and, while holding them, count to 2 then plug in usb and wait 2-4 more seconds. Phone will enter download mode and Odin will recognize it on a COM.
4 - Press start in Odin. When it completes and your phone reboots, close Odin.
5 - BE PATIENT!!! Your phone may now appear to stick on one of the boot screens or a blackscreen, but it is really doing stuff. Wait 5-10 minutes before you impatient people decide it didnt work.
I can only say this: THIS METHOD HAS NEVER FAILED FOR ME
I hope this helps someone, as someone was kind enough to do for me.....
Enjoy, and happy modding! =)

I have read almost every sticky here, and I swear of the 15-20 threads I am subscribed to I see AT LEAST 3 a day saying ".... I think my phone is bricked.....", so I figured I'd just put it right there on the 1st easy post in kind of a monkeys-could-do-it-like-this mode. I'm just trying to help those that DON'T read the really long threads. We know they should, but they don't.

It seems like most people are messing up AFTER they have the necessary firmware files, which is why I didn't add any links. At least that's what I'm getting from the posts they make.
Honestly, and really I mean no offense here because I love your work AND advice, I see 1 flaw in your post, at least on my captivate which is all i can practice on. Copied from your post:
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
If I plug in BEFORE opening Odin, Odin does not pick up my phone. Doing it my way, holding both volume and then inserting usb while holding them with the phone powered off, has NEVER not worked for me. That's all I was trying to clarify for people. Sorry if I stepped on your toes.
Uploaded Odin and stock jf6 to the OP
Then what you can do is ask DG to include this as a method. There is no reason for you posting the same info which is already a sticky thread. This will eventually get lost while the sticky will stay at the top.
Alright i just wanted to say thank you to everyone. With your help i was finally able recover my phone using odin 1click. I have to say thay i was convinced that it was an unrecoverable brick and i had that sick feeling in my stomach but i read, read again, and re read the entrire odin 1click thread, and i discovered that i was booting into stock recov and not download. I think out of the 10 plus times i tried it i actually got it to go into download, by luck im afraid. Anyway the point of my long post is to thank you guys for being so smart lol u saved my phone. And me from getting an ulcer. Note Do Not download circle batt mod with black evo notification bar with the vibrant hybrid rom. from eugene. It Will brick your phone. At least it did mine. Now to figure out if i want to root again after dodging that bullet lol

I didn't even think of that. You are right. Although I personally prefer my 3.1 odin to the 1 click, it should've been added to his, since my main point was/is the ease of getting into d/l mode if needed. I'll think before I start a new thread next time =)

No worries, it was just a suggestion and I feel that if this method works it would be best up there. Im glad this method worked for you as compared to the other methods.
Hi,
I have this brand new Mytouch 4g black, used it for a couple of days and did a factory reset. It booted up fine after that. We were out of town a couple of days during which I powered off the phone.
When we came back try to power up, the phone got stuck at the hboot screen(with geen, red letters), I did factory reset like 10 times and still stuck in the same screen and not booting up. Can anyone help me what's going on with my phone. Is this a software issue or a something wrong with the phone?
thanks in advance,
TZ
Please post questions in Q&A section
Isn't this the Q&A section?
Did you root you phone? If so, then you need to do a complete wipe through recovery.
If you're stock - go back to the store you bought it from and have them replace the device, something is borked.
Hi,
Here's my situation. I have bought this phone outside T-Mobile and so they have disagreed to give me an exchange. The only options I have now is to either figure out myself if the phone can be somehow fixed or sell the phone for parts on ebay. This was running on stock(unrooted) and was working fine before this happened.
Here's the screen shot of phone where it's getting stuck, can anyone advice me if this can be reflashed?
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PL6S5m9nSQ4LCs_4Cwjqdw?feat=directlink
No matter what option I select and click, it's coming back to the same screen and getting stuck.
Thanks for all of your suggestions,
TZ
I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but maybe your volume down button is stuck?
and its sending the phone into hboot every time?
Nope I've checked that, the volume buttons are good. Also when I hooked the USb cable to computer(windows 7), the Windows is recognizing it and installed the HTC boot loader. Can reflashing with stock kernel helps? If so, how to do that?
Maybe try flashing one of the roms in the dev section?

Not going to fly, S-ON here. I still think it may be the volume button though. Did you try running
Code:
fastboot reboot
See what that does.
Can you tell me if that command works on windows 7 from command prompt? Do I need to have android sdk installed or any other soiftware?

I did try the "flashboot reboot" command and the phone rebooted and came back to the same screen.
thanks.
Is there anyway he can get a boot log? to see why it goes into hboot?
Also it is recognizing my sd card...is there any way that I can flash a rom from sd card? Another thing to confess that before it goes into limbo mode, I've noticed some moisture around the phone.
I bought my phone off craigslist and TMO has already exchanged it once. Trying calling and getting a different rep. The phone has a 1 year warranty. Try calling HTC also.
Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried with the T-Mobile folks and gave up. The only problem is that I am currently not a customer of T-Mobile!
Ah well that makes a difference. You might try HTC.

Do you need help .let us know were you are with the phone so i can help you .very difficult to brick a phone.
What exactly is going on with your phone? As long as your phone boots into Tri-Color recovery and reads as a USB when you plug the USB in, you're fine...and even then there's still plenty of possibilities to fix it, I've had my phone not even read USB and after trying tons of different ways it finally fixed itself.
I highly doubt your phone is broke, let the community here know what's going on and someone is bound to get you going; most people are helpful but as always, there's asshats like malaeus that ruin communities.

Please provide a bit more information on what exactly you did resulting in your phone's current condition. Like hd2k10 said above, as long as you can get to the tri-color bootloader screen, your phone is fixable and you will be able to get it going again.

Not Bricked, Task29'ed....
You task29'ed but you have nothing else to flash after that, that is why you are where you are....Look go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783 It is Ksubedi's Tool for Nandroid on HD2. once download. Download a Rom. Since I'm helping you, i will not give specific instructions on YOUR choice of ROM but rather MINE, sorry that is how it works around here xD.
http://hotfile.com/list/1335611/19f8a51 go to this link and download this file, HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_TMOUS_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024.rar, should be the second one. This is Best EYE Candy(Smexyness) rom, created by Coredroid Team.

9. IF you don't succeed, Pop out the battery, and in again and power phone while holding "End Call" Button until you get to the Several Options, all in white.
10. Once at the Options in MagLdr. hit Volume Down Button til you get to Option "5.USB Flasher Mode" Hit "Call" Button
11. It will say "Wait USB..".... first, when USB confirmed, will say "Wait USB..USB"
Now Switch over to the CoreDroid V1.6 file you downloaded Earlier.
1.Extract File to a newly created Folder, and Open folder.
2. Wait for "Wait USB...USB"
3. In the New Folder, You will see something called DAF.exe, Right click and Run as Admin.
4. Follow Instructions. Blah Blah Blah.
5. Phone will Reboot again, and again Hold "End Call" button until you get to the same several options again.
6. This time go to Option "8. AD Recovery"
7. Using "Volume Down" button go to "mounts and Storage" and Down to "mount USB Storage."
8. New drive will pop up on PC, open the drive, and COPY FULLY, the zip named "HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_TMOUS_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024"
9. Once Copied, click "unmount" on phone with "Call" Button.
10. Now hit the "End Call" Button once more, then move down to "Install Zip from SDCard," then Down to "Choose ZIP from SDCard."
11. Choose "HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_TMOUS_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024"

If you have the Tri-Color screen. then you have bootloader, as for the USB thing that is supposed to be in the bottom, that will only appear after you connect the phone, VIA USB, to a PC. Now I don't know about the Linux situation, but word of advice, get your azz to your friends house cuz right now I don't think you wanna risk getting the phone even more f**ked up cuz of the PC software you have, well anyways do as I have stated, and that ROM i have linked is amazing fast and no issues watsoeever. And as for the ROM actually, Sergio is coming out with an update to 1.7, so try it out, and if you like it, go for 1.7. and actually, the process for flashing an update is not hard at all.
> as for your hd2, try flashing the original windows mobile rom,
Can someone help me with this.
I can not get the phone go in tri color screen mode.
Phone boots okay with Android installed but I like to switch back to T-Mobile WM version.
Power + Volume brings menu but does not force the phone in TRI color screen mode.
thanks,

I think what malaeus meant was to not post in the development forum rather than to ask him to not post anywhere on XDA. I agree though that he could worded it with a little less inflammatory tone.
As for the OP, dude, you need to post all the details of what you have done for someone to be able to help you. Please post things like the current state of the phone (can it boot into bootloader or MAGLDR etc.)
Also your radio/ROM/MAGLDR version could help too.
I think the radio rom might be missing shouldnt it say that at top of bootloader magldr 1.13, hspl3 2.08, dont know the radio rom... I can do all the steps except when i get to the daf.exe file it says failed init. usb

Just because you didn't care to read ANY of the stickies around... I'll make sure you do, i'll give you instructions but lets see if you can go back a page and click the stickies to learn how to do all of this:
you will need to get into download mode, and odin - this is the safest and recommended route
if you want to take a bit of a risk you can try to go into recovery and flash the ROM you were in before - this can lead to more bootloops/brick
here is the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwNzHqezAuU&feature=youtu.be
If only there was a guide that explained what to do when you get a bootloop while installing ICS. Hmmm. (Hint: see my sig).
If that doesn't work, rider's is the way to go.
Edit:: saw that you posted your video. That is a fast ass bootloop. Hit your thanks button by accident. Anyways try pulling your battery and booting into recovery and reflashing ICS again over itself. Did you wipe and factory reset?
i am a dumbass that followed a youtube video tutorial congratulations to me(pissed >(, i went straight from eclair to ics. wopdee do. I got odin in a ".rar" file and cant open it, but i prob have the wrong odin then right?
Not sure about your Odin file but check my guide for clear instructions. Need to go from 2.1 to CM7 to ICS flavor.
Alright i am lost and pissed? what should i do now, (i did my touchpad just fine to ics) to let you know that i am not a complete n00b about this, but the vibrant is not liking me...
ok, now that i've seen the video this is not any normal BOOT LOOP.
What exactly did you do to get this? Which flashing procedures did you look at?
Can you at all get into recovery/download mode?* most important question*
Do you have Froyo Bootloaders or GB bootloaders? (if you don't know what these are and have not messed with bootloaders you are on Froyo.)
I have just read what the recovery says through the video
It pretty much says that it is trying to flash ICS PASSION, but it cannot because your sdcard is either a) wiped b) not mounted c) the ICS PASSION file is corrupted and/or ics passion has been deleted somehow.
-after reading some latest posts from you, i'm sorry for making you feel like a dumbass but you did not read the instructions, mainly the stickies, and did not follow the instructions on how to get to ICS from eclair. That is why. Many do not and I prefer not to give any help at all to people who can't help themselves, but I understand your situation and i'll try to help. Sorry for offending you if I did, its just that some people need to be treated that way so they open their eyes and start reading around.
i understand that, but i did a battery pull and the samsung vibrant is still doing the same thing, when i hold power and volume down it stays at the "vibrant" thing but that is it, i can do anything else but watch it boot loop.
okay, i did a wipe on my sd card before installing, let me try to find the youtube guide
here is the guide that i followed, i just went from step three onward because it was rooted but nothing else
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iryi3TzylN4
Rider, see if you can help him out. My boy just woke up. Let me get him back to sleep and ill be back after these messages.
PS I just PM'd him the CM7 Rom.

Okay..... so after watching that guide. I have never seen ANYONE using that method, mainly because he didn't flash ANY kind of CM7 kernel etc.
Most of his instructions were right, but he just did something on his phone that seemed unusual, but i guess worked for him...

Dude that video is wack. He pirates one version of CWR but once it boots up is a completely different version. Check out the numbers on top. The edits are terrible. Cuts out some pretty huge points. Plus he starts out with Passion beta 1 on his settings screen before he edits back to show you how to do it, but ends up with RC1.
so am i screwed? if i am than thanks for trying to help me though.
No you are not screwed. Odin back to stock 2.1 and then follow the instructions. Don't sweat getting Gingerbread bootloaders for now. Get your phone in download mode.
You probably won't know this but even if you phone doesn't show download mode on its screen, you want that yellow COM box to light up in Odin. Once you see that, profit.

First read the post above this and try to get odin to light up yellow, if it does, no JIG needed, odin and you should be good. If that does not happen, then you will need a JIG.
Since you cannot get into recovery or download mode, I would try a JIG before claiming that your phone is a brick.
does the odin and stock rom from the video that i used work? or where should i get the odin and stock rom this time without effing up?
I got my hands on a mytouch that I am trying to fix. I am not 100% on the original condition but I was told it was stock and never touched. The owner went to sleep and woke and the phone will now only boot into the boot loader screen. Says S-ON, HBoot 0.89.0006, radio 26.13.04.19_m. It is completely unresponsive and none of the buttons do anything. When I plug it in the pc notices it and the phone changes to fast boot usb. I have tried placing the pd15img thing on the sdcard and it doesn't really seem to notice it. Adb doesn't seem to detect it either. Any ideas?
i really am wondering how many people actually read my brick guide...

i read your guide. Did you miss the part in my first comment where i said I tried the pd15img file on the sdcard but that the phone doesn't seem to notice it.
"For S-On users:
Q: help! my phone is stuck on the Mytouch logo screen!
A: pull the battery, and see if you can get into the bootloader using volume down+power buttons
if you can get into the bootloader:
1) see if you can wipe data/do a factory reset in bootloader.
2) flash the stock Glacier PD15IMG.zip file choose from either
Android 2.2.1 OR Android 2.3.4
rename both files to PD15IMG.zip if not already.
-put both files in the ROOT of your SDcard, reboot into bootloader/hboot, and follow the onscreen instructions
note: if you are still unclear on what to do, read the "HOW TO RESTORE TO STOCK" section"
I PUT THE FILE ON THE CARD AND IT JUST SITS THERE TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE. None of the buttons work and the only thing I can do is pull the battery out.
Now thanks for the "help", but do you have any real suggestions?

Sounds like you have yourself a paperweight, OP.
Also, don't be rude to Saranhai, please. About 4.5 out of 5 of the "Help my phone is bricked" threads we get could have been prevented by the person reading his guide. No kidding.
If the volume up and down keys don't respond and the bootloader doesn't scan for the PD15IMG.zip file, then it sounds like your bootloader is corrupted or in some other way damaged. If the phone just decided to do this, literally, overnight it's probably a failed eMMC.
Anybody else want to chime in? I honestly hope I'm wrong.
Sorry op, it is most likely bricked, send it back to tmo or htc if you can. Also, estallings is right, please don't be rude to saranhai, he has helped a lot of people pull their phones from the brink.
Thanks for a real reply. I was afraid it was just dead but I thought someone might have a trick or 2.
I got nothing against Saranhai, but for some reason he was trying to be an ass to me. He could have said nothing but instead he implied I don't understand how use a forum or look through guides or research a problem before begging for help.
And his "awesome" unbricking guide not only has dead links to megaupload files its also written very unclear in certain points.
"2) flash the stock Glacier PD15IMG.zip file choose from either
Android 2.2.1 OR Android 2.3.4

-put both files in the ROOT of your SDcard,"
What does that even mean? So do I get to choose, or do I have to download both? It doesn't really matter because one of the links is dead anyway.

Place one on there at a time. At least with the name PD15IMG.zip. The name has to be very exact and the bootloader is suppose to scan for the file whenever it loads.
I would suggest the GB (2.3.4) file. Does that link work?

Maybe I went off on you the wrong way, sorry about that. Its just that so many posts lately are from idiots who don't read anything at all..and they come here wining and crying. Maybe you could've posted that you read around next to
As for my guide: I will try to fix the links and make it more clear...
