hi guys.......
my phone issue is still not solved.
i have a U8800, came with 2.2.1 b136 rom. all things used to work fine and one fine day while i was out and the battery drained off, Returning back home i plugged my phone to the power and kept for charging as usual. in the morning when i power up the phone it started but got hanged up on the android text animation screen and then a loop of same. from that day onwards my phone is not working.
it starts up showing big huawei screen and proceeds to the android text animation there it get stuck for a few seconds and then again back to android text animation continuously the same.
I can get into the pink screen bu pressing Vol up + Vol Down + power.
I can also get to the blue screen Vol Up + Power.
i cannot change any thing in any of the drives or partitions in the pink screen. the image folder (in the pink screen), and other partitions also all the 4 partitions are freezed. even if i delete or replace files, the previous files comes back the very next movement. as if the memory is freezed. i even tried to format the 253 MB partition (image folder partition) but format gives error cannot format this drive , checked the attributes is unchangeable read only partition.
i tried updating official rom 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.3.5, but update failed, Some times even it reaches the update process to STEP 2/2 and there its like hanged the progress doesn't moves further even tried keeping hours, also tried update without battery but the same.
OK logically i assume i cannot update if the partition is read only. but why is it.
it used to be a working phone worked well and once sudden day its like.......
Is my phone bricked and what i can do to get it on. please help.

I do the same as to update without using battery but still it doesnot update !
Any ways i will try again without holding power ...........
my problem is my phone doesnt get updated with any rom even the stock 2.2.1. and just keep it into boot loop at android animated logo screen.
Well Maksimitoisto, i cannot claim on my warranty as it is already out and sencondly befor i can put efforts and take pain of paying for another phone or replacement, i want to try max what we can do on it to solve the issue.
since the phone can boot into the Pink and blue screen and also the normal way (with boot loop) i belive its not more then a software problem, the only thing is i need to get the right to overwrite it.
Any help please write.
Appreciate everyonce solutions & support.

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?
regards
1st of all i want to apologize for my bad english .
Few hours ago i had installed this rom, it was just fine, until i applied the app2sd option from SupSetupV16 application. After that my phone turned off with no reason and from then it restarts again and again. I've tried with an sdcard with ext3 & fat32 partition (cuz the app2sd option in this rom requires it, but i didn't saw it earlier, and my phone has no s-off) and the phone loaded the start animation of the rom, than turned off and all over again. The battery level was almost 50% just before the 1st restart, and now the phone is in the charger. The phone does not receive any command from the hardware buttons, just cant enter the recovery mode .. i feel rly fckd up. No volume up + power, volume down, back + power .. nothing. I'll charge it all night and try again in the morning. Somehow im smelling the service ...
i think you got loop because the phone is reading wrong data.
ok... do you have ClockworkMod backup your stuff already? you can unplug your phone from the usb, if it have been boot loop from just now. poor phone. you can disconnect it from the battery. now its totally off. hold Vol - and power on your device. then on the menu, go to recover... the red [!] screen... From what i've know, i can only go to recovery using these combination from the phone is in OFF state. not while its loop booting, and it is somewhat safe to remove your battery when the phone is not writing something to the internal memory.
if you have ClockworkMod, you can run the update.zip (the fake Flash) or if you have hack4Legend (cant remember if this the name on the pc download as i dont use this anymore) plug in your usb to the pc and run Recovery.bat if your windows.
then your on ClockworkMod. from here onward i guess you know what to do. go flash a new rom or do a wipe the data and stuff to see of the loop stops.
hope this worked for you as this is what i did... for a few times already.
If this dont work for you. then you should try the search button for boot loop.
Oh, man .. u're awesome. On turned off phone .. volume - and than power is working fine and the fastboot menu appears. You're awesome, again! Thanks alot!
I think it's very hard to actually brick a HTC Legend... I've had this problem too and some other black screen problems. All could be solved!
Lol, I think as android are hard to kill. Really... not just our legend. But rest too.... I personally poisoned my friends to get android phones so that I get to play with them. Showing them how much these phone can do... and if you root them youll get more cool stuff! lol..
But, anyway. I'm glad it workd for you.

However with S-ON legend to have app2sd with superginger you have to apply before the overlay, reboot and then app2sd.

Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.
u8800,cm7,[email protected]
I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Hope this helps a little

Hello all.
I have my old T-Mobile HD2 with the NAND rom you can see in my signature.
Everything was fine for 6 months till today, when my wife (I've given to her) couldn't open it and thought it was run-out from juice.
She plugged it on the PC and wait, while she was dealing with our baby-daughter. When I came back late in evening, I saw the phone with the led still orange, the screen black and the hard buttons flashed. I pressed them, but nothing happen.
I removed the battery, plugged it back again and... since then, the phone stops in the splash animated video (keep continues endless), without the led to flash (orange or whatever) and of course I never getting the Android rom's lockscreen!!!
What's going on???
I've read somewhere to press the red button and plug the battery back. I did and the root menu came up. I pressed the "12" (PowerDown) but the phone started-up again and of course... freezed on the animated splash screen!
Please, help me on this.
I did also hard-reset, by pressing both volume up/down and the red button...
After I pressed the red button (for 30 sec) and then plugged the battery back, I came into the black boot screen and I choose the "AD Recovery".
In the next screen I've seen, that the battery was 95% full!!!!
So, I just pressed the first choice (boot) and... nothing happen, again.
So, what am I suppose to press, in the "Recovery" screen?
Update
-----------
I went again to Recovery screen and I choose to re-install the rom from the SD card (zip file); I did it, the process began and finished, the dialogue wrote to press the "Next" to boot and... still freezed on the animated splash screen!!!!!!
So, what's going on? Is the rom damaged and also I have a problematic SD card and the problem can't be solved?
search how to logcat on google. download necessary files.
make a logcat and post here.
OR
download qtadb (search for it and download) and when in bootanimation, connect phone to qtadb and after it's connected, go to phone info. is system and data partition or any one of them full?
also try wiping cache/dalvik-cache in recovery
Did you checked battery pins if they aren't bent?
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using XDA
I succeed it; made it working!
I did wipeout/format everything except sd and reinstalled the rom and worked! (With NAND option).
Hi, I need help with my Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1. I have poor knowledge on firmware versions, updates etc. so I'll try to describe my problem in short bullets. Here is the development of the situation:
- My phone was in water for couple of seconds
- After I dried it out, the only way I managed to turn it on was using combination of PWR + VOL+ or VOL- not sure which one I used
- That combination got me to Huawei splash screen, and immediately after that to EMUI screen, apparently for update - the screen looks exactly like this - take. ms/iaGMk
- The phone can't get out of this state, it keeps turning itself on and on and trying to install this update, there is no way to turn the phone off, it's just in this loop
Now, what I've tried and results:
- I tried uploading an update (update.app in dload folder) that I found on this forum, to an SD card, and the result was that installaton got to 5% and got to this screen again - take. ms/iaGMk
- I tried connecting the phone to my PC via USB, and the result was that installation got to 5%, and at that point my HiSuite asked me to authorize PC on the phone, looks like this - take. ms/VFUXt ,which I can't do because the phone is in this, recovery or whatever it's called, state
Now, at one point, the battery got empty and the phone somehow showed me the recovery menu, where I had among other options: Update with WiFi and Factory Reset. I did factory reset, and then I updated EMUI with WiFi - once it was done, the phone started up in safe mode, and everything was working except power/lock and volume buttons (is this normal for Android safe mode?).
I was checking the phone a bit and then it turned off, and now it's in the frickin loop again - take. ms/iaGMk
I can't do anything at all, it responds to nothing. My thinking is that there is maybe a correct version that I can upload to an SD card and perhaps that will be the solution.
Anyhow, that's basically it, please let me know if you have any questions. Keep in mind that I have no idea which firmware version it is because I can't start up the phone or anything.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best,
