Htc Bricked?

Hello.....
My htc hd2 is bricked..At least i think it is.
When i try to turn it on then it vibrates 7 times and won't turn on. I sent it to some small shop repairing service but they couldn't fix it. Is there something special that needs to be done? Please could anybody help me?

Sounds like bricked. Did you check that none of the battery pins are bent and not making good contact with the battery?
If that's not it, then its probably bricked. Did you try flashing a new rom or radio and end up with it in its current state, or did it just start doing this on its own?

Im afraid once it vibrates a few times but the screen is blank during power on, the phone is bricked. Happened to my Touch HD once. However, im sure given your status, you would have tried to enter the boot loader or try a hard reset. Your best bet is to get a used HD2 with a broken screen(quite cheap) and salvage the mainboard. Alternatively, you can purchase a RIFF JTAG tool(http://www.gsm-technology.com/index...963?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b5d4b5d3), (http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/JTAG,Adapter,compatible,for,HTC,HD2,,LEO,277864.php?prod=277864). This should work if you follow this tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoiuM9epp2o). A few HD2 users on this forum have tried this before,but it really depends on what damage your FLASH has undergone. If its data corruption,it should be salvaged via the tool, but if its some sort of hardware fault, im afraid it wont help. Hope this helps, and good luck!

And just to lighten up the situation a bit, youve made a good choice in getting a Galaxy S II. Not only is it a hell of a phone, but Samsung phones are unbrick-able. In the sense that if you brick it, theres a software that can unbrick it and especially for your Galaxy S II, theres this tiny tool (http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNBrick-Sam...686806?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0d46da16) that you can plug into your micro USB and make it breath again. Thats one hack of a feature!...Hope some one can design something like that for Snapdragon/HTC devices.

Yeah, Isn't this jtag thing really hard? But I guess I have nothing to lose, right? :/
Thanks a lot for the responses

If you are looking for a cheap tool that is capable of JTAG, look here (I never said it was easy..) :
http://code.google.com/p/the-bus-pirate/wiki/Home

it might be a software problem. i think make a clean install of a stable rom. i solved my same problem by this way.

If you hold down the volume down button and power it on (continuing to hold down both the volume down and power button) does it go into download mode? If so you should be able to flash back to a stock ROM I believe.

SM-N9006 Can't connect to TMobile LTE

Hello,
I'm having one hell of a time with this new Note 3 I bought on Craigslist a few days ago, activated with TMobile but it's unable to connect to tmobile LTE. I called TMobile to check the IMEI #, the # matches from the back of the phone with the # in the phone settings.
I called Samsung, they stated that my IMEI belongs to a nokia phone, I was puzzled. When I looked it up on IMEI.info it says it belongs to a Nokia.
The phone seems to be working ok, I just need to connect to LTE bc I use internet quite often and not for facebook. Another thing that is sort of funky is my wife's text still go to my Sprint iPhone for some reason, I have no idea how that's possible. I can't make phone calls on that phone but I'm able to browse on Sprint 3G and receive a few other people's text.
I can only connect to E network, there is no LTE option in any of the Mobile network setting options.
Please help me out, thank you in advance!

Can you get into download mode? read what it says in there or post a screen shot of it if you can, If your IMEI is saying it's a Nokia, it's possible you have either a fake Note that has used an old Recycled IMEI or something weird is going on..

I'm unable to get it into download mode, I've tried it about 5 times, holding volume down and home button then power button but it boots up straight to the usual phone functions. Will rooting help my situation in any way?

Hmm, cannot get into download mode at all? -- what about recovery mode? exact same, but volume down. -- Usually if you cannot get up download/odin mode, that's not a good sign I'm afraid, it is possible you have a Note Clone
EDIT:: although saying that, you have an N9006, which is slightly different to the N900/N9005 models, I say it's possible your note may be a clone, don't take that as a 100% assessment

I tried holding volume up + home button + power, I managed to get into some mode. It's upside down on my screen, I can not post image yet, i need 10 posts to be able to post a link.
Select Boot Mode:
[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is OK.]
[Recovery Mode]
[Fastboot Mode]

I tried selecting all options using the volume down for "ok" but it will not go into any mode, volume down, power, home buttons does nothing while in that screen, only volume up moves the arrow. I'm also trying to hold down the buttons, and other button combos.

Grab CPU-Z from play store and check the hardware to be 100% certain, but from the looks of that screen, it appears you have a note clone (unlelss the N9006 has a different menu as it's a Chinese model, however I am not sure it does) - You may wanna contact the seller and try and get your money back
You can also test by plugging the phone into your PC and loading up KIES3 and it'll verify it, and look @ the SPEN detail. how it performs etc
EDIT: IF samsung are saying its an Nokia IMEI, that isn't a good sign at all :\

As for the texts going to the old phone, it must be something to do with the account set up on the iPhone, not had one for a couple of years so not sure how iOS has evolved recently on iPhone

I think the same, fake China Note 3?
If not, not all have LTE. Only devices with Snapdragon processor!?
But I'm not sure.

My network signal is very low...

Hello,
I've a big problem. Since a few days, my network signal ist very low.
LO13 was installed with an old modem version.
For a new test, I've installed LOS14.1 with different modems (NON-HLOS_v44_MIUI_8.2.4_TWRP_markw.zip, NON-HLOS_v45_MIUI_7.5.4_TWRP_markw.zip, NON-HLOS_v46_MIUI_7.6.5_TWRP_markw.zip),
but this doesn't help.
Any ideas? Is it an hw problem?
Regards,
wayne

Previously I used the case for Rebmi 4 prime and wifi very weak. Do not use the case is improved

may it caused by you drop the phone, and then the antenna cable be unpluged
Open the phone and check it

And what is the result ?
- Does the cable unplug ?
- or what is your situation ?
Did you solve it ?

I just opened it.
The cable wasn't unplugged.
So, I didn't solve the problem... :crying:

I am having issues with low signal also but it's only when I use the ASOP Roms.

Razr M XT905 won't boot - data recovery options?

Hey guys,
My Razr (Fully stock) has decided not to boot anymore, but all my contacts and photos are on the phone.
When I connect the phone to the PC the phone itself is entirely unresponsive, but the PC 'dings' recognizing a connection, though no devices show up in device manager.
I've tried holding Vol up and Power to access recovery, and I've tried using different cables (in case this one fails to perhaps charge the phone) but I'm a bit stuck at the moment.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks so much!

I dont mind where the thread is moved to as long as I can get my question answered. To answer the second part, nothing is unlocked and nothing is different about the phone at all. It is literally the exact same as it was when it came out of the box minus the screen being screwed up. With that said someone PLEASE help me figure out how to extract these messages!

I'm a cellphone repair tech, best way would be replacing the screen to get the data. The back is removable, just not "user removable" because of the adhesive holding it on. Check with local repair shops if you have one.

Most major phone companies have web based sms and that can be accessed via web--Verizon does for sure as I've text my kids online all the time and old messages show up too
