Rooted my phone 6 months ago using the ultimate s off method in the dev section and had clockwork recovery 2.x installed. Never flashed any custom roms or did anything else to the phone. Woke up this morning and the phone was on the white my touch 4g splash screen and stayed that way for at least an hour after I noticed it. Pulled the battery and now when I start the phone, goes directly to a white screen with 3 androids on skateboards in the middle of the screen and stays there indefinitely. I can not boot into recovery and my computer does not recognize it when I connect via USB. Am I fully bricked? Any ideas? The phone is unresponsive when the android guys are on screen. Have to pull the battery to turn it off. Any advice is appreciated.
Have you tried using PD15IMG?
I have no way of launching it. I can put that file on the root of my SD card using a memory card reader but once its on my card, I still can not access the file since I can not boot into Recovery console and my computer does not see my phone when I connect via USB. All I can do with my phone is turn it on. Once it turns on, it goes to the white screen with the android guys.
hboot automatically sees the file when you boot into it. The screen with the three awesome android's trying not to bust their ass on the skateboards while trying to impress the girls that you can't see is hboot. Also, recovery is an option in hboot, just press volume down to scroll through the menu and highlight Recovery. Hit power to select it, and bam, you're in recovery, and three little skateboarding androids just got their first girlfriend.
(yes, there is a lot of sucky humor in there)
Sorry, I don't think I was clear and maybe I used the wrong terms. When I boot the phone, regardless of what I press (just the power button, or power button and volume down), nothing happens except the phone automatically goes to a white screen with the three boarding androids in the middle of the screen. Nothing else is on the screen, no menus to select options from, nothing. No matter what button combo I press, I can not get to hboot with options.
Thanks

Try loading the PD15IMG on the root of the SD Card. Pull the battery, put the battery back in hold the volume down rocker and the power button. That should boot you into hBoot.
Thank for your comments everyone. Even with PD15IMG on the root of my SD card, there is no way to get into hBoot. Volume down and power button does nothing, I've gotten into hBoot other times previous so I know how to do it. Not sure what would have caused this issue since it's been rooted since December and nothing else done to the phone. Looks like a call to tmo today.

Does this method work with ultimate s-off? I thought only root.sh could be done this way.

PD15IMG will load everything back to 100% stock. if you used the ./gfree method, it will still maintain s-off but everything else will revert back.
why not try the ruu of htc panache, it will flash everything, dont worry you can come back to stock my touch 4G ROM.

Would you happen to have a link to info on this? Also, how could this be done when my computer does not recognize my phone and I can't get into hBoot?

install this and restart..
http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/T-Mobile_My_Touch_4G/HTCDriver.exe
now remove battery, plug in the usb [makesure its working]and than pressing volume down press power.
now run the ruu...
u may have to try multiple times, with differet ways like powering phone off and back on while on RUU if ur not able to get on bootloader. though 3 droids screen is bootloader.
Are you at all familiar with ADB? You could always push the IMAGE file to the root of the phone and then use ADB to push the reboot bootloader command.
I can't use ADB because my computer doesn't even recognize the phone when connected via USB. I never had problems with my PC seeing my phone before this issue happened, now it's like it's not even connected.

You can manually install the drivers as it is on the SD card as well. Just install them again on the computer then use ADB.

He said that the PC did pick up the phone prior to the crash. post the crash the computer will not pick up it. It's nothing to do with the drivers on the phones sd card.

That's with the phone connected. All he has to do is take the card out and put it in the computer and mount as normal sd card. Then he can install the HTC drivers that are on the SD card. This is a simple fix.

Okay. Let me ask you this. I do not have the drivers on my SD card, nor on my work computer. But my work computer still picks it up. I do not have "windows" drivers on my home linux machine. Why does it pick up my phone?
and he had to have the driver previously installed for the computer to pick up the phone. the files that are stored on the SDCard are/were a .exe which installs to the HD of the computer.
Here are the hold your hand directions:
Disconnect phone from computer.
Turn off phone
Take microSD card out of phone
Put said microSD card into appropriate card reader/microSD card adapter
Put said adapter into card reader/USB port of computer
Wait until Windows/Linux system recognizes removable storage
Open folder into view
Dbl click on the file named HTC Drivers
Install like normal
Unmount the card
Put card back into phone
Turn phone on
Plug phone into computer
Run CMD
Then run ADB DEVICES
Proceed from there with your commands

Depending on whether he installed a different ROM, the computer will try and recognize the device as a new/different device each time and will/might need to install the drivers each time. That's why you never delete them off your sd card.
I guess this problem was already posted but I can't find it.
after updating my iconia a500 my tablet stopped working. The main screen freezes after booting and when restarting I reach the same problem.
I tried hardware reset but no solution.
I tried doing the power and vol+ button - it shows that it erases userdata and cache but after that restarts and reaches to the same point of frozen screen.
I tried to download an update.zip, put it on a SD card, do the Power and VOL- button and it shows me the andriod green figure and then a yellow exclamation mark and freezes.
what else can I do?
what am I doing wrong.
my tablet is not rooted, and no cwm is installed.
thanks.
answered many times
When you reboot holding the volume and power ....hold them until you pass 4 line of txt.and hounded the recovery start.
Keep reading forum post.not just scroll thru the thread titles.common mistake
Good luck
thanks for the response.
No matter how long I press the power and the vol- button the green android shows up and then a yellow exclamation mark on it and it freezes.
same problem here. Im beginning to HATE this tablet
Reformat your SD card, preferably in an Android device. If it still doesn't work, try a different card. Recovery mode is notoriously finicky with some cards.

So true. Everytime that I have had a problem with the triangle I just grab my spare micro sd, do a nice fresh format. Drop the update on it. And that's that. This has worked 100% for me.
Just recover using a usb stick using cwm, works fine and don't have to remove your micro sd.

CWM is not installed, as clearly stated in the OP.
Oops, I can see clearly now.
my imagio died, it turns on it shows the HTC logo and then just vibrates without stoping.
i downloaded the ROM for it and trying to flash it from the memory card...
Flashing device using Storage Card
Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32.
You don't have to delete all the files, but it's safer if you do.
Download your preferred Rom from the Imagio ROM Development Forum.
You may need to Un- zip / rar the file if the chef compressed it.
Make sure, your devices battery status is NOT LESS than 50%.
Go to the ROM's Folder and rename the .nbh file to WHITIMG.nbh
This may have already been done for you.
Copy the WHITIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
Insert MicroSD Card into the phone
Enter the phone's bootloader. Instructions:
Power down the phone.
While holding down the VOLUME DOWN button, Power the phone back on.
Continue holding the VOLUME DOWN button until the TRI-Colored screen shows up. At that time, release the button
Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
Press the power button to flash the ROM to the device.
After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

i put it in boot mode it starts flashing and its stuck on - loading... for a while, like an hour. is that normal, how long does it take to flash it or am i doing something wrong.
tnx
Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.
Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.
Help

there is no pink or blue screen after VOL+/- PWR on?
you can try download original rom and put the largest update.app file onto sdcard, in "dload" directory and retry the VOL+/- PWR .
or remove batt, push the three buttons and connect the micro-usb to PC, you will see if the storage connects or not. If yes, check the "image" folder if there is some files missing or not. It is hard to help you when i don't see the phone.
