Hello,
I tried to update the radio and the SPL version on my Tattoo. Everything went fine until I had to reboot my phone. It shut down alright, but it never powered on again.
These are the following problems I am having with my Tattoo at the moment:
Cannot power on phone.
Cannot boot into recovery mode.
Cannot boot into FastBoot.
When I connect it to my computer via USB, nothing happens.
The only thing that it's responding to is when I connect my it to my charger.
Does anyone have a solution or is my phone dead forever?
Thanks ahead!
bump? anyone?
Send it back to HTC. If anyone can do anything about it they can. There's nothing else you can do. Sorry
boo.. that sucks..
Well, thanks anyway
Ehm, I don't want to post a New Thread so I'm gonna ask here:
Does anyone have the pinout for the Tattoo?
Take a look at this. I guess they fix such things (but you never know if they just are after your money. http://www.ort-jtag.com/index.php
Yeah I saw that already. Also, there is a file name Tattoo Jtag on their website in the Support section. However, to access that section you have to enter your products serial number (which is I'm guessing the phone's serial number). I have tried several serial numbers (including mine) and all of them were 'invalid' so I never checked the files out.
Also, they only have one thing in the shop which is a kit and it costs $330 so no thanks
I have a similar problem, I would like to share my knowledge although I must be completely out of way.
My experience is based on the BeagleBoard and Angstrom so I really don't know the HTC HW and Android at all...
- The device boots from an xloader that instructs the device how to proceed with the boot
- the bootloader takes place (great u-boot in the beagleboard ?? in the HTC phone) the bootloader allows for ROM or kernel+rootfs flashing and much more
- now the kernel is loaded.....
User mode applications do not allow to have access to the memory area where xloader and u-boot lie so they should be safe all the time to allow for device reflashing.
So we should have access to the device via bootloader anytime if we knew how... maybe somebody can help us further.

Same here...Exact same issue...No Recovery mode...No USB Connectivity, Screen turns on but is blank, alhough I did see Tattoo popping up initially but not any more...All I can see is the LCD back light turns on...Battery does charge...Also when I try to enter Recovery mode screen keeps blinking as if it is trying to restart again and again...Someone help
similar problem here, but i get absolutely no response from the phone, it doesn't even recognize the charger. do i just throw it away and buy a decent one or is there a solution?
Sparky the only way for now to fix that click is to bring it to some service point that have that ort jtag, because only way to fix that is to writte new boot sector on phone . Im sure that i know at least 2 services that have ort jtag in Novi Sad . Look for marvel *Miroslav in Ns, or send me private message
same thing happened to me
just this morning, and in desperation I tried hard to remove the batt cover (prob pressed some of buttons, I felt a jerk and ho it was back in amon ra`s recovery, nect time I just removed the battery waited for 30 secs, then press off&home and hold it till recovery came back) but for good half hour NO REACTIONS , ABSOLUTE BRICK, nothing when I put the usb in PC or in socket, dead screen, no sounds and no reaction to ANY combination of keypress. I guess you could call me lucky (in last few days I flashed at least 3 versions of froyo roms, this afternoon I bought =8GB class4 Kingston, formated it in PC FAT32 default size, copied EVE. from my 2gig rom then just turned it down (yes I am brave) and put the 8gig in tattoo, it works like a charm (finger crossed it will continue)
So is there an available Jtag for the Tattoo yet?
I'm in the same situation. No recovery no fast boot, Damm!
I`ve update psfreedom with psgroove_hermes_v4 zip file then my tattoo reboot and now I only get the Tatto title screen but nothing happends.
Somebody have clue to give back life my phone.
Thanks!
if you can get to the title screen, that means you can connect it to your pc via USB and recover from a backup (I hope you made one)

You have to enter in fastboot.
Hold volume down and turn on phone.
Cheers
Sorry but as i said before, I can't access to recovery menu neither fast boot menu.
A few weeks ago my girlfriend rebooted my Neuxs 7 but it somehow got in a bootloop. I tried to fix this but i managed to shred the bootloader i guess because now it won't turn on at all.
I've tried to boot it into fastboot, but that won't work, so i'm pretty sure that the bootloader is broken.
When i plug it in to my computer and hold in the powerbutton it shows up as a apx device, which i guess is a good thing in this situation (meaning i havn't completely broken the device).
I'm not very skilled with these kind of situations and really need help from you guys.
I've read about apx drivers and if i understand the situation correctly i could somehow install a new bootloader this way?
Could anyone help me step by step restoring my precious Nexus?
I could send it to service, but i don't think i have any warrenty left on it since i bought it almost 2 years ago. I also suspect it would cost me a lot of money if i send it to service.
Please give me happy answers
Pretty sure you needed to make a backup of your device first to flash back with apx mode as this is device specific
Same problem here.
From what I read the only way to restore your N7 in APX mode is if you had a backup(again from apx mode).But now the device doesn't have(or its broken somehow) a bootloader anymore so we can't do it.
If you still have warranty return it,if you don't buy a new motherboard(40-60$ on ebay depending on the storage) and change it your self.There is plenty of tutorials on the web how to do it.
Good luck.
I believe I have the same issue. Nothing on screen, does not come up on computer but shows as APX. Does back up have to be from our device or can a backup be made by someone and we restore from that copy?
To the best of my understanding it is device specific so for those who want to be safe make a backup now as you can't use someone elses

Okay, well that sucks! Guess i'll have to order a new motherboard then.
Hello everyone. Recently, I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 to obtain Cm11. What happened was when I tried to unlock the bootloader, and used adb commands to execute the files on my root. After I did reboot, the phone wouldn't turn on. No signs of life, can't boot into recovery mode. I've done the tutorial before on this phone, and I reverted back to stock. Now that I'm doing it again it won't work. I think it may be hardbricked. When I plug it into my PC, I can go to device manager and the PC will recognize it as a Qualcomm driver. I really want to fix this problem without needing to call LG or get repair for it. I looked at some tutorials and found this one: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/71825-hard-brick-to-hell-and-back-guide-to-recovery/ I'm not sure if this'll work for me. Can someone please provide me with some help with this situation.
I ran over my phone and broke the screen on my s5. It will boot up and everything works accept my screen is black, digitizer is not responding to finger touch. My phone didn't have a passcode only swipe to unlock. Its running Marshmellow OS. When I connect to kies it reports the phone is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the device. I used "findmymobile" to unlock the phone and I can hear it unlock but Kies still says its locked. Can someone please help?
Try this

unfortunately I do not have USB bugging on. This is going to be challenging but I'll give it a try
If you put a new screen on the phone you won't loose your data, just get a new digitizer.

yeah but the digitizer is like $150 CAN, Are there cheaper ones available?
Read a post on another forum saying someone with the same problem, USB Debugging disabled and broken screen, managed to backup by booting the phone in recovery mode / safe mode, and using KIES to create a backup
Recovery mode
http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s5-recovery-mode-how-to/
first of all, i'm sorry if i'm posting this o the wrong section (i'm new here seeking help)
second, I NEED HELP!
i tried using Dr. Fone for recovery and unlock but i'm getting "flash recovery packaged failed" on the end. when on recovery device mode, i can hear the new device/unplugged sound.
if only i can use OTG and mouse to enable USB debugging. but obviously i cant see. when i open the phone normally and try using screenshot, i can hear the sound. so that means that my phone is not dead and only have broken lcd/screen. i also cant open the device folder because its locked (i think its locked). i also looked some class a ldc/screen digitizer but its kinda expensive and going to technician doubles the cost. from this point, i don't know what to do anymore. i just want to get important pictures and video. been trying to find a solution for hours.
I have not seen a method to enable USB debugging without a working screen.
