my phones rooted and I have the Regaw mod ROM load on there, and its been good for a couple days now. Last night I went to sleep and forgot to charge my phone so figured the battery died. I plugged in it for about 10-15mins or so to turn it on and all it does is hang on the HTC bootscreen!!!! then I try to boot into recovery and all I get is at the bottom of the screen it says "Build : RA-HEROC-v1.5.2"!!!! Does this mean my phone is bricked!!!???
Remove the battery. Put it back in. Try to boot.
There are other solutions. As long as it turns on there should be a way to unbrick. Try RUU as well.
i tried the battery pull a couple times im trying the RUU now but what the hell could have bricked my phone over night?
I think what the guy in the 2nd post is trying to say, is that if it is booting, it isn't bricked.
It would be bricked if you couldn't do anything with it, then its like a brick.
I know it is probably a bit scary but ify ou can boot it at all, you most likely can fix it.
Did you make any changes (remove any files?) yesterday at some point, and this would have been the first restart?
I don't know, it could be a number of things.
It is probably not bricked. I bricked my G1 so I have some experience in that area. If you can boot into recovery it is not bricked. When I bricked my G1 I couldn't even get to recovery. let it charge a bit. Th battery is probably just dead. OR. take the battery out and plug it in and try to boot. Let it boot for about 15 mins or so.
no i didnt change anything at all, except my sd card said it was corrupted after unplugging it from my PC improperly. and I didnt reformat it right away. I just tried to RUU and i got an Error 170 a USB connection error

Where does the recovery image read from? I know we put it in the root folder of the SD, but does it actually boot from there? Could be your issue...
are you runnings apps2sd or whatever it is called?
yes that possibly could be my issue!! how can i fix my sd card or what should I do?
no I am not running apps to SD

I'm not so sure. I am pretty green when it comes to all this rooting stuff. I'm just trying to help figure it out.
Maybe try booting without the SD card in the phone? Could help to narrow down the issue.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge could help.
yea im booting it now with NO SD and its still hangs at the HTC screen

Can you try plugging it into your USB connection and getting into the ADB shell (in CMD) to see if you can access the phone even though it seems stuck.
I know I did this and was able to monitor the logcat when I thought it was stuck, but it was really just doing a whole bunch of stuff.
Just an idea....again, I'm just fishing here trying to help you out.
it tells me error: device not found
i went to (CMD) then cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and then adb devices
you might have to manually rewipe your recovery partition in cmd. I had to do that after the official ruu messed up my phone- it wouldn't boot at all, I had to use the fastboot command: fastboot oem boot, then using my nandroid backup restored my recovery.

im kinda of a noob at some of this so kinda need to explain it out lol ...I just booted to recovery and pressed *vol up* and got me to Fastboot Mode then it says press <Menu> to reset device, should I do that option?
okay i pressed menu and all that got me was it hanging again at the HTC screen.. should i do all of this with my SD card in or out of the phone?
When you boot it and it gets into the "partial" recovery mode, does the PC see the phone? Can you put RA-Heroc-1.6.2 onthe SD card from there? If so, I'd try flashing the new recovery from ADB...very easy...and see if that gets you a bit further along.
You might also try cheating a bit. See if you can pull a nandroid from the SD card (might have to do this with a card reader), then get Flipz's Kitchen and restore the Nandroid after you boot into recovery.
Just a couple of things I'd try....from experience...

okay this is what happens i press vol down and power then is load where the androids are on skateboards and it says press <HOME> for recovery along with a Fastboot mode and Simlock option. I press home and then I see the HTC screen for about 30 secs and then where I normally would see the recovery menu with all the green writing i see all black except at the bottom is says
Build : RA-heroc-v1.5.2

To follow this and break it down a bit more for you:
1. Plug in USB with phone off
2. Turn on phone and get it to the "blank" recovery screen.
3. Run through the flashing of the recovery rom image again (see HERE) but start at step 13 or so.
Try doing the above post..
Hi all! Need urgent assistance here as i've messed up again.. Installed dexter's motoblur rom but initial loading just struck at the boot animation. Tried to go to nandroid but couldnt enter (yellow triange with a cross). Tried reformatting sdcard and pasting back the openrecovery folder and openrecovery.zip does not work. Tried with multiple sdcards. I was thinking if the system went into the ext3 partition to look for the files instead of the fat32 one... but couldnt find a way to paste the files into ext3 partition. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much!!!!

Probably you forgot to wipe data/cache after you flashed motoblur? Some random ideas roughly in the order I would try them:
Double check that the FAT partition is first and bootable?
Double check that the SD card has no logical partitions
Reformat the entire SD card as FAT, primary, bootable put on OR
If that still doesn't work, try Motorola recovery (gallery+shutter while powering on, when you see the triangle screen press volume+shutter to get menu, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"--also note Motorola recovery uses gallery not shutter to select menu options)
If that still doesn't work I'd flash SBF
Looks like I have to do the SBF method. How do i get started with it?
Thanks a lot
I have bell sbf I will upload it to you if can.

Hmm. You tried factory reset in Motorola recovery and it still wouldn't boot? One last thing would be to remove the sd card and see if you can boot.

Unfortunately, this is tedious but it works: charge with the battery cover off. Watch it closely. When the phone starts to boot, pull the battery out. Put it back in. It will continue charging without booting immediately. Keep an eye on it. When it starts to boot again, repeat by pulling the battery again. Repeat this for a while (3hrs?) until you believe the battery should be charged enough.
Another option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
yep, Mioze7Ae solution works. It's because the battery doesn't charge up if it's in Recovery Mode. And Recovery Mode eats battery..
lol interesting will try in the morning...4am atm :S
Hmm, if i take out the battery w/o shutting down then phone would still be awake even w/o battery. Then i off and on the switch again and plug the batt in again. Screen is empty now and led is not lighted up. Pressing power button will start recovery again (but batt still low atm). Is that correct?
Thanks
Thanks everyone its up again :d
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

Was using your Nexus 4 rootkit.. Everthing was done and phone was rooted .
Now i wanted to update the CWM. I chose the option 11 boot or flash .img files to device. I chose the cwm mako version
and decide to flash it.
Now i am asked options such as boot, bootloader, radio etc.
Here I choose Boot..(This I think I have done wrong.)
Now. Phone only boots to recovery... No matter I with on , Off I cannot go anywhere.. I go directly to CWM.
I tried your toolkit again and this said Phone needs to go in adb .. It says waiting for device..
I cannot also mount the SD card so that i can put some images in the phone...
Hence I cannot do anyhting

I am now trying the ADB commads.. in the thread you provided. Lets hope something good comes out..
Till then anyone else can help , will be appreciated.
Can you do
Fastboot flash recovery (name).img
Then fastboot flash boot (boot).img
And then access recovery? If you are in recovery img pretty sure you can use adb. Just a suggestion.
Whatever is in your boot partition (recovery in your case) will be booted when you turn the phone on. This is why you see recovery.
Edit: you cant get into bootloader *at all?* no fastboot then?

Hi RAZOR, I read your story and it looks like it's not ALL big problems there. I'm willing to help you with that, if you want send me a PM and we talk with GTalk (give you it there), but let's see...
I would plug my cellphone on the PC (hope it works like my Xoom, as they are very similar in some points - Xoom is GED, N4 is Nexus...)
(You said it is booting on recovery), now I would use adb to continue easily...
If you are on Windows:
1 - Open a cmd
2 - cd to adb place
3 - now type adb reboot bootloader, then it would go to fast boot
Now you flash the images you downloaded
On Linux
1 - Open Terminal
2 - Download LAIOT (my tool on signature ) (only to get adb and fast boot ready for use)
3 - Now open terminal and type adb reboot bootloader, then flash the images you downloaded with fastboot
If nothing this work, send me a PM and we'll talk

I had a field day this morning with my phone also when trying to flash the stock image back. Finally got it working. The only similarity we had is that I could not mount my data or sdcard either after flashing the stock image.
However, I WAS able to get into fastboot. Should you be able to get into fastboot then RE-LOCK and UN-LOCK your bootloader and everything should work again (fixed my data and sdcard mount issue). I was then able to boot into Android and carry on.
Fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unluck
Or use the Toolkit.
My only other suggestion would be to take off the back case and try pull the battery (haven't seen it done and not even 100% sure it can be). Maybe the battery just needs a time-out from the phone.
Hope that's some useful information for you.
Good luck.

I can do the VOLUME UP + POWER -- vibrates, powers up, toggle the switch, let go of power button and it does:
ERASING USERDATA...
ERASING CACHE...
Then it reboots back to the ACER logo, and just sits there. I have downloaded one of the ROMs and done the VOLUME with POWER BUTTON start up and it doesn't do anything. Just stays at ACER logo.
I've looked at quite a few things here on the forums and it hasn't done me any good -- nothing seems to want to work with the tablet unless it's in debug mode (which means it has to be a working tab). When connected to a PC it does detect as an MTP USB DEVICE and says "THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY." But I can't get much of anything. The only thing I've used that remotely works is USBDEVIEW which gives me the device info including a serial #, which I understand is NOT the cpuid. I do have the box, so I guess that would have the CPUID? Any help appreciate. More than willing to just blast this thing with a one touch factory reset from the PC, if it will just connect.
If you had it at the dead android guy, it means you probably didn't have the decrypted "update.zip" on your Ext SD card. If you had stock ICS running before, you can try downloading those 4 update.zips I posted a few threads ago. Will have to try each one, and hopefully one of them works.

This would be the first thing I try.

It went to the Dead Android guy when it rebooted after a crash. I haven't seen it since. Just got to the Acer logo screen and stops.
Your linked post is going to what it actually shows instead of the real link.

I'm also stuck at the ACER logo. I d/l'd all four of the zips from your link. All four appear to install correctly but when the flash finishes and the tablet reboots, it's still stuck at the logo.
Also, when I just tried the link again, it is no longer working.
where were you coming from when you tried this ? what BL? gb?JB? what recovery , theres a alot of reading to be done with this device Acer didnt make it easy , but if you read and take it slow there are/were some great devs that left the door open for us all to use these ? Explain where your started from and how you got to where you are now? (Moscow is a sharp dude he can help)!

I bought the tablet used and it would loop on the green "ANDROID" screen. So I don't know what version it was on. I tried the volume +, rotation left and power on to clear the cache and user data. After that it hangs at the ACER screen. I'm assuming it had HC because it has standard recovery. IOW, if I hold the volume - when powering on, it goes to the green Android logo and if an "update.zip" file is present, it will flash it. I've tried just about every "full" ROM I can find and most of them flash but none of them get past "ACER".
I've tried pushing the reset button while powering on while connected to both a Linux box running Mint 15 and a Win7 box. The Win7 box see the tab but won't load the driver. Even though I d/l'd the USB driver from the Acer site. Mint 15 sees the tab but comes up with the error box saying it can't be mounted.
