Before I get flamed, I have searched the forums, but the threads are NOT helpful. (some old, and I don't want to hi-jack anyonelse's thread)
THis is NOT my phone. I am trying to help, so bare with me. I have the SK4G and G2x, so this device is a bit different for me.
Apparently, my friend tried flashing a custom rom, it took too long and he pulled the battery. NOW the phone refuses to turn on. The computer recognizes the device, but I am unable to boot into bootloader.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
What is "recognizing the device", and what happens when you turn it off and then turn it on while pressing VolumeDown (or VolumeUp)?
Technically pulling battery during a ROM flash shouldn't cripple the phone. unless that is another side effect of the bad emmc chip, in which case you may be out of luck. but as the previous poster said, try booting whilst holding down the volume down key and see what happens.
I have tried the down volume button and power... up volume and power... home and power, all to no avail.
If I connect it to the PC it recognizes the device.

It booted into bootloader, but I can't select anything. I am guessing its the POWER button now.
The issue now is getting it back to stock and s-on in order to return it to TMOBILE. I can't select anything since the power button doesn't work. and I am not good at all with ADB.
can you select by pressing the optical trackpad instead of the power button?

It's okay, we have no problem helping people who are willing to help themselves.
From the Bootloader type in
Code:
reboot
since the phone doesn't have a working ROM it should boot into the recovery mode again
Well what you'll need to do is download the PD15IMG file PD15IMG
pull the SD Card w/o pulling the battery, and store just the PD15IMG.zip on the root of the SDcard.
Then type in
Code:
adb reboot recovery
again and unplug the phone. It should ask if you want to restore the PD15IMG, you'll hit the button (it'll tell you) to confirm that.

The Track pad only works if I am in CWM - if I am not mistaken. ( I have tried selecting with the power button and trackpad, nada)
I guess my next question would be, how to unroot using ADB without being able to select anything with the power button? Any way to flash the STOCK ROM and get S-ON again using ADB Commands? It will have to be sent back to TMOBILE. And since it is rooted, I have to UNROOT it. (The phone is ON MY ACCOUNT, but belongs to my friend. I don't want to get charged for the device because it's rooted and warranty voided)

once in your bootloader only the power button will select objects. the volume keys are the "picker" and the power button is the "selector"

Correct! The Trackpad works with Clockworkmod, but I can't even get there... How can I unroot/flash the PD15IMG.ZIP using ADB (if that's possible?!)
I will need to send it without them taking notice, as this is on my account.

I'm sorry to sound like a noob, but how am I supposed to type the commands from Bootloader. I am on the HBoot screen. But as for ADB Commands, and getting to BOOTLOADER through such commands, I am lost. (I apologize, but I am truly a beginner, but willing to learn. All I ask i a little patience)

OK. Sounds good. I am downloading the PD15IMG.zip as I type. This will take some time, according to the mins left (22m) - After it reboots, and reads the PD15IMG file, will this UNROOT the device back to stock? (I am guessing so... but just to be CLEAR!)

it SHOULD put everything back the way it came. IF you use the ./gfree method to root the phone it might not turn s-on. But everything else, the recovery image and the hBoot will be back to normal.

So I did the step by step rooting of my Sprint Hero
I get to the part where I flash the image in the shell and it is almost instant to get back to pound sign prompt
I then reboot recovery and the phone shuts off and powers on again with the HTC splash screen. The screen goes away after 1 second and the phone doesnt do anything. No recovery console at all.
What do I do? I want to install the custom rom but i I also want to backup the phone first.
Try this:
Turn the phone off. hold in the volume down button and the power button. When fastboot loads up press the home button and let us know what happens.
If it hangs at boot, reflash the recovery. Sometimes it gets corrupted during the download.
yeah, for some reason, when I try that way to it does nothing.. so i generally use the flashboot/hboot method

This happens for me as well and I am using the correct version with the "c" in it. Is the file actually 3.19MB? Also, when using the flash command, is it supposed to provide any feedback or create a file or directory on the SD Card?

It doesn't give any feed back that I know of. But there's a program called flashrec (Direct Link [.apk] ) that I use to flash recovery images right off the phone. And you don't even need to have a rooted phone.
this happened to me as well. i had to load up the stock sprint ruu, and then go through the rooting process again. the recovery image gets corrupted somehow during the flashing, and even if you try to reflash the image, the corruption remains on the phone. gotta start from scratch.....
Please, give me some help!
I used this to unroot theunlockr. com/2009/10/06/how-to-unroot-the-htc-magic-non-mytouchget-back-to-cupcake/. It doesn't say that it isn't for 32A. I used it, and after installing it said Wrong Id, and every time I'm booting up my phone, I can't get in, but it is only shows me the "Htc Magic" screen.
I used another cyanogen update. I did the update, but it didn't fix the problem.
Please, help me!
Thanks in advance!
It doesn't need to say if its 32A since Rogers has the 32A Magic with 288MB Ram and Sense UI now. The 32B can be unrooted with the sapphire.nbh file.The only RUU there is for the Rogers Magic.
And now, what I have to do?

If you can't get into the recovery mode or fast boot then your probably bricked.

Not sure which recovery your using but can you get Amon_RA 1.5.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
After upgrading try reinserting your sd and wipe all the options.
I did this
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
as I had cyanogen 1.4, but now, I am pressing Home+Power, and I can't get into the recovery menu!
(I can get into FastBoot)

Can you do it the Fastboot way?
After what I've done at the first post, I can't find any device in fastboot via
Code:
adb devices
I forgot to say something! When I am writing fastboot devices, it gives me this:
What did your phone do while this was happening?
It was working as a brand.
When you do Cam+Power can you tell me what it says, did the update change your radio or SPL.
When I am doing cam(I think cam is Home button)+Power, it doesn't do anything! It just stays at the boot screen.

Did you have the image on your SD or computer since you used ADB.
I found a site with someone who bricked their phone but found a loop hole. I have never bricked my phone and hoping i never will but for those who have bricked their phone here are some steps to try to unbrick it! HOPE IT HELPS! SEND FEED BACK!!
So you can’t access bootloader or recovery and the only thing that works is the blue led trick when pressing trackball + power button??
Try the procedure below.
Step 1: Turned Phone off by taking out the battery.
Step 2: Prepared SD card
Put SD card in card reader and formatted it as FAT32, copied the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Or try Sapphimg.nbh
Step 3: Put SD card back in phone
Step 4: Hold Vol down + Power + track ball together and put battery to start phone
Step 5: Run update
IF THAT DIDNT WORK!
TRY THIS!
Step 1: Turning Off Your Phone
Because you have a bricked phone, you can't just hold the power button. So if your phone is not already off then you're going to want to take out the battery.
Step 2: Preparing Our SD card
Take out your SD card and put it into an SD card reader or some type of other adapter so that we can view it from our computer. If you cannot view the SD card on your computer then you're going to need a new SD card.
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.
The G1 screen will hang there for a good minute or two, but be paticiant, it will boot. Now you have a choice. Try to hack your phone again, because you're in the correct state to have another go, or, you can stick with the official Android. Now if you choose to stick with the official Android, here's what you do.
Step 1: Upgrading to Android 1.0 RC33
Download the file signed-PLAT-RC33-from-RC30.zip
Rename the file to update.zip and copy it to your SD card
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. Power off the phone first and then hold down the Home key while powering it back on.
The recovery mode is finished loading when you see the ! mark inside the triangle. Press Alt + L to display the list of options.
Press Alt + S to flash the file update.zip.
Wait for the update to apply. Your phone may reboot during this process so be patient.
Press Home + Back if prompted to reboot your phone.
Step 2: Upgrading to Android 1.5 CRB43
Download the file signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.
Step 3: Upgrade to Android 1.5 CRC1
Download the file signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.
Step 4: Upgrade to Android 1.6 DRC83
Download the file signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
Repeat the steps from above to flash the update file.

run fastboot boot recovery-image.img or whatever you named your recovery image. It'll display "waiting for device..." message just keep pluging it in, unplugging, popping the battery and eventually your device will respond and boot into recovery.
Someone bricked and i did it... twice trying to flash the eng 2010 SPL. It worked the third time and my device is up and running again with an engineering SPL.
if your device is stuck on the first splash but displays in red "Fastboot USB" message in the upper left corner of the screen, DO NOT power it down. run the above mentioned command and reflash.
deleted... double post.

fastboot boot recovery?
boot.img and recovery.img are two totally different things.
The recovery (amon_ra is preferred)
The boot.img is where the kernel, ramdisk, etc resides.
you must've meant fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
but not both.

Bricked mytouch3g -- brandnew phone. Just tried to flash cyanogen test3 and everything went fine but then I rebooted and all I have is vodafone boot screen, nothing else works but the blue led which will not load any img. adp doesn't work it never detects a phone no matter what you do. It was the first flash too. Crazy how HTC didn't make a built in hard reset like you have on windows mobile phones. You wonder if they want people to crash there phones so they have to replace them ect etc.

So you are at the white screen that says hboot? It should be the second option on that screen saying recovery, use the volume keys to move to it, then use the power button to select it.

you can boot into your rom and then reflash recovery, I flash mine a few times as rarely its there the first time
Grab the PC36IMG.zip file from the Amon Ra thread and put it on your SD card. Boot to the bootloader, let it find the file, and update to flash the amon ra recovery. I hate clockworkmod. It's never been as consistent for me as Amon Ra.
you wiped your boot or system partition didn't you?
hold volume down while turning your phone on and it should bring a menu with three android guys at the bottom, once there use the volume buttons to select recovery and then push power to select it. That will get you into the recovery where you can flash a ROM. If it doesn't let you get into the recovery from there and you still have the autoroot folder on your computer you can run the file 'FlashZip' script and tell it to flash the SprintLovers_AmonRA... file. Just put it in fastboot mode before hand by selecting fastboot instead of recovery from the hboot

It sounds like you have the old debug firmware installed, the screen with the red triangle is the stock recovery. Pushing vol up + power in it should bring up a menu although there is nothing in there that is of use except reboot.
With the triangle showing on your phone run the FlashZip script and it should reboot you in to the bootloader, once it does that hit enter when it warns you about your bootloader being unlocked and it will give a list of different PC36IMG files. You'll want to flash the one that says SprintLovers-AmonRA to make sure everything is up to date.

k, it's not working right then. Can you do me a favor and use the StartShell file then run it from there. If it fails again right click -> select all and then copy and paste it.
To run it from the dos prompt just type flashzip and enter

When I experienced the red triangle and inability to boot into recovery, following step #10 of the link below pushed a temporary recovery onto the phone.

You still need to flash (by some means), a permanent recovery.
You can do so using either the PC36IMG.zip method, adb shell, or through console.
holy f !!!!! you developin son of *****!!!!! you are the man!!!!! you literally just saved my life i just got this phone yesterday and my girlfreind is on her way to kill me... so now what do i do about recovery and am i still rooted... and how do i give you money???
i was reflashing my DHD to fix some issues i was having with it, but the reflash (from cm7 to virtuous unity) has left me in a boot loop and i'm not sure how to get out of it as one ofthe recent problems with my phone was that the vol-down key isn't working.
is there a way to boot into recovery and reflash again without the use of the vol-down key?
i've tried abd, but the phone restarts before a point where abd with pick it up so i think i might be a bit stuck.
any ideas?
thanks in advance.

as i understand, he is stuck at bootloop.
try to use something like pen or toothpick to press vol down button(if you dont have cover press) and then try to boot in recovery.
If you can turn on your phone, download 4ext and touch recovery

you could always just try running an ruu, it will continue retying adb commands for a set period of time. so just start running through it while the device is in the boot loop.
was stuck in a boot loop that was occuring before abd could see the phone with a non-functioning vol-down key so i couldn't boot into recovery.
However, it turns out that i was able to get a pin under the vol-down key and lift it enough to use the pin to press it during power on and was able to then get into recovery and do a full reset and re-apply a fresh firmware and it's working fine now (minus the vol-down key still), but thanks for all the tips and suggestions.
