Hi. I have e15i witch is dead its starts to the moment when screen lights up for 3s then lights go little lower for 4sec and reboots over and over again. when i start it in flash mode by plugging to the computer with "Back button" it is detected and i can flash it, witch i did to the newest available version but nothing changed still reboots. Is it possible that the bootloader is broken and cant load normal kernel and works properly in flash mode only ?, is there a possibility to reflash bootloader please help.
I'm suspecting that the screen is broken because there is no SE logo at any moment.
some questions that answering would help me very much:
is it possible to boot the phone without the screen? if not that would explain the problems
from where in process of booting the SE logo is generated
-semcboot?
-the loader.sin that loads kernel?
-kernel it self

The semcboot is the very low-level initialization stuff; you actually shouldn't have access to the semcboot area - only the boot loader unlock tool is able to get in there.
The loader.sin is the boot loader (as in "the file that gets replaced upon unlocking the boot loader so you can load custom kernels) which then also kick-starts the kernel(.sin)
Once the kernel is fully loaded and initialized the framebuffer is being initialized along the way and the "boot splash" (the white Sony Ericsson logo) is being displayed while the kernel continues to boot-strap the ROM.
That's, in brief, what happens at power on.

This is a untested scenario. I know of no one who took the phone apart to disconnect the Touchscreen in the attempt to see if the phone will boot (or fail boot due to the display being disconnected therefore unable to init the framebuffer).

Well, this actually depends on what you did...
If you unlocked the boot loader to flash a custom kernel then all you need to do is to either grab the Stock Kernel FTF (loader and kernel) or the Stock baseband FTF (GSM/2G/3G Radio parts plus loader and kernel), connect it in Flash Mode and flash the Kernel or Baseband with Flashtool - and also restore to Stock ROM in case you have a custom ROM not compatible with Stock Kernel flashed.
If you never touched the boot loader it's still locked - in this case you can't flash the loader/kernel with Flashtool as you can't gain access due to the boot loader being locked. However, in this case it is also _very_ unlikely that the boot loader, or kernel, is "damaged".
thank you very much B.Jay for you reply
i don't know about the past of the phone a got it broken
but things i know is:
built date 11w01
dos not have sim lock
semcboot is not unlocked
loader R4A045
the things that you wrote about when the phone display SE logo
confirm my suspect that LCD is broken because its lights up when good working phone displays logo as i seen on some youtube video because i don't have another phone to check it out.
Il buy LCD and check it out fingers cross
You got it broken? Not good if you don't know what went wrong...
Anyway, by timing the boot process ... Once the backlight of the screen lights up the ~3s until the SONY ERICSSON logo is being displayed would be about right.
A reboot at this stage (while you actually see the logo on the screen) would mean that there was a severe problem boot-strapping the ROM (i.e. bad flash or messed up /system partition). A Flashtool restore to Stock would actually solve the problem.
As another test...
If you turn off the phone and connect it to the USB charger or a USB port of your computer ... do you actually see the short "Charging" animation?
Its charging battery but no information is displayed
when i push any button screen lights up.

If you don't see the short "Battery" animation then you can safely assume there's something wrong. The question just is ...
- Is the LCD controller dead?
- Is the Arduino GFX chip dead? (i.e. damage due to too hefty overclock)
- Is the display connection cable damaged or improperly inserted?
While you can buy the Touchscreen (LCD + Touchscreen + Frontpanel of the case as one part) it would be a somewhat costly adventure to find out that the chip is dead.
As the backlight works we can only be sure that it gets power.
Anyway, if you are adventurous - click the link in my Signature and hop into the "Service Manuals" folder. Grab the Service Manuals, have a look and maybe try to crack down on the root of the problem.
Hi.
I want to inform that my story has a happy ending
yes, only LCD screen whose broken the digitizer is good function
I've check all pins on broken screen and all whose fine no broken connection so it whose the LCD controller on glass,
and the glass it self did not look broken.
so the lesson from this is x8 will not start without LCD screen functioning properly
but I can say it will start without digitizer.
thanks for your help B.Jay.
No, thank you for working out that the X8 refuses to boot with a broken / defective LCD - that's a welcome and appreciated information.

Hi,
is there a possibility to get my device back to work? I messed my G500+ up, with a wrong ROM Image, so is there a way to low level format it and replay a working Image on it?
The current status is:
The device can be turned on, but only the LED in the upper right corner is flashing
The blue outline will be present after holding the power key for several seconds (aproximately about 10-15 seconds or so)
The display stays black
I can't see if I would enter the USB downloader boot mode
I can't see if I do a hardreset
The display was fully white after flshing with this damage rom, then during boot it stayed white and the device stocked
Can anybody help me? Is my display damaged, can such thing happen while flashing or does the ROm don't kno w how to reach the display? What can I don, it's a bit urgent because I need that device!
As posted on your other thread, this is an HTC based device forum. You're better off looking for help on a site that will support your device. Good luck.
yeah, you're right, but there are several threads about Eten devices, so I thought, someone could help, sorry....
Hi!
i recently bought a Vodafone branded Magic for spare parts
previous owner said it went bizerk after radio update
after turning it on, it vibrates and displays the first boot screen (HTC MAGIC with a black background) and stays like that forever
fastboot doesn't work, hboot: no, recovery: no, even the pc does not recognize it (charges at least)
is there anything i could do to revive it?
or should i rip it open and sell the parts
p.s. i've searched the solution for quite a while now, but all similar threads usually end with the phone being replaced (which is a no-no for me, as it's originally bought from Germany )
sorry, it's definitely bricked.
Hi,
I've read bit on the forum. Maybe from the radiobootloader, you can try some reasearch? THere is no clear indication on how to do it but as you're stuck anyway, it's worth trying it.
To enter radiobootloader: push trackball and poweron/end key. YOu should see the blue led.

Then with a console cable (HTC serial debug cable), you might have access to some console command.... if any.
Here are more explanation for the hero but they might be also in the magic.

I performed a SPL flash, the phone rebooted ,it took long time rebooting so i got panicked i pulled out the battery ( wasn't a smart move ).
tried to start the phone.. now i was stuck at the first splash screen.
-pulled out the battery and back again start the phone... stuck at the first splash screen or boot looping endlessly,
-did all possible key combinations to get in fastboot, recovery mode... nothing.
-cried for help, got directed to a post similar to mo my case... worked for me hope it dose for everyone else.
here is what i did (followed):
-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!
flashed again but this time checked step twice before i check it a third time, and flashed the SPL and radio and the rom.
thanks for the replies
sheesh, it's so easy to brick this phone!
Flash Intel BIOS to AMD based motherboard on your PC and the only thing you can do is to exchange BIOS electronic (unless you have dual BIOS mobo).
So, you flashed wrong RADIO to your phone? Open it up and exchange soldered FLASH unit with proper one - good luck.
Or maybe you have HTC hardware flashing tool for flashing FLASH unit without removing it from the mobo of the phone then you can save your unit.
well i recently dropped my HTC wildfire in water. I took it to the service center a local shop
and get it cleaned. but right on the shop when the engineer repaired it; it keeps
on restarting again and again. i thought it was beacuse may be ROM get corrupted
and when i will return home i will boot into recovery and reflash it.
but when i came back to home i put the phone down and then tried to go to the
recovery , it again start rebooting again and again. i was unable to stay in recovery for a
few seconds. it shows the revolutionary recovery but again it reboot and shows the
HTC logo and then again reboot after few seconds. then i thought may be clearing the memory will
make any effect but still when i cleared memory from bootloader i managed to clear it and it
didn't gave me bootloop in bootloader. but as soon as i tried to again boot back to recovery from bootloader menu
it again start rebooting abnormally. well i thought there may be problem with the battery but when i put charger
in again the phone led shows orange color charging and then phone again start rebooting
when the charger was plugged in.
but it stays in bootloader on. battery checked it is working right.
now can somedbody tell me is it hardware fault or there is something wrong with software ??
i called the LOCAL HTC center they say that there is an IC in the motherboard of phone
it is responsible for making boot properly and may be water has runied it.
well as per them the repair is not possbile now because they just replace the whole board they
don't solder the IC'S and moreover in india HTC has halted the production of motherboards they
are not avaliable no more.
well is this the end of my little fellow phone ?

The last thing i would suggest you is that to change recovery.try flashing some other recovery and see if it works.If the problem still persists,I'm afraid you'll have to give up on willy or buy a new second hand willy.Its pretty cheap these days.
Well i will definitely try to do that

well yeah i will try to do that i would be able to..can you tell me how to flash recovery from fast boot menu after connecting it with PC and re installing HBOOT drivers again. coz it was long ago that i had did it.:good:...
Download any recovery in pc49img format and put it on the root of your sd card. Then turn the phone on in bootloader mode, follow instructions and you're done. No need to connect to PC.

Hi Guys,
I was randomly using my Moto X Pure phone for a while and shut down and when I tried to power it on again it was stuck on the logo screen. I understand that this is a Soft Brick and there's apparently a way to fix this, I'd like someone to help me out with what I should exactly do and what relevant files do I need to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!

I should preface this with I don't mean any offense.. but I find it quite hard to believe you were just "using my Moto X Pure phone for a while and shut down and when I tried to power it on again it was stuck on the logo screen ". Did your battery die? If that's the case you need to hook it up to a charger for a while (30min-1hr) and then unplug it and then try to turn it on. I don't believe quickcharge works in the base states of the phone so it may take a while to get sufficient charge to actually boot android on the phone.
If your phone "suddenly" doesn't boot then 1(or more than 1 I suppose) of a few thing have happened. #1 your bootloader is corrupted (unlikely) #2 your kernel/boot is corrupted. #3 your system partition is corrupted(or you used root and did something bad, or flashed something not quite right with twrp) or #4 you have a hardware failure. Hopefully it isn't #4.
If you're unrooted then I bet your phones battery died and needs some time on a charger before it will fully boot again... or worse you have an actual hardware problem (hopefully not)
if you are rooted then maybe your kernel or system has been screwed up.. However, It's very unlikely even with root that either of those thing "just happened" though. You would have had to be messing with something in the boot and/or system. If that's the case tell us what you were doing.
If you are rooted though... your bootloader is unlocked. So grab the "factory image" for your phone and boot to the bootloader and completely reflash the phone. You can try not doing the "erase userdata" to keep your installed apps/settings, or just flashing boot and system and seeing if it works... but if it still doesn't work then nuke it all from orbit and start again.

No joke, I was actually on snapchat for a while and it randomly shut down. I initially tried to turn it back on and it was getting stuck on the boot screen. First, I wiped my cache partition through recovery and it didn't work. Then I factory reset my data and same result. I left it on the charger until it was 100% and tried again, still nothing.
I haven't rooted it or tried to at all so I'll have to rule out #3, out of the other three which one could be the most likely?
If it isn't a hardware failure (sorry for being such a huge noob), should I restart bootloader in recovery or unlock my bootloader and reflash the software by downloading factory image?
I talked to motorola and they said they will issue a replacement, but I figured if it's a software problem then I could reflash it..so there's another option but I live outside the U.S it's gonna take while to process it.
Thanks alot dude Really appreciate your help.
You can get a factory image from moto. I would try that.
I'm stuck on black screen and i can't even access fastboot , the phone do nothing at all

anyone can help ?
Number one rule - charge battery and plug power supply before flashing. I think you have no option but to go to the repair shop - a special hardware must be used almost for sure as you damaged partitions
