yes that means its not bricked at least... now you just have to do the process right lol
Making two posts in development that do not belong here will not help your cause...
So where should a post about a development problem be if not in a ''Development" Room??
ok so what should i do ? is it a must to have the Sd card in to fix my problem and when i hold the up and down i dont get the update thing on the screen why is that and how do i get it? My Atrix was not this hard lol
So a sd card is needed to get past the waiting screen ?
wow more and more people posting in areas they shouldn't maybe if you did a search you would find your answer since i know this has been looked at already. there is even a video out on how to flash clockwork and you still fail. come on people use search.

Development area is for if you Develop an app, rom, mod, fix, etc...
Your issue is not a development issue, its a personal one.
Please post in General.
That being said, I have never seen that issue before.....
Waiting for bootloader to init... ouch!!!
You can try to flash Recovery back on your phone. Enter recovery and do a nandroid restore. Yes you will need an external SDCard. But without a boot loader I think you may be bricked. What did you really do to get this issue?
Did you flash the firmware from another phone?
Once again if you havn't developed anything please make your posts in General for this kind of issue. Otherwise you clutter this thread and make it hard for others to find apps, roms, etc.. here

He flashed recovery first and then rooted his phone. Instead of rooting and then flashing recovery. Please poeple read instructions first before you do anything. Read through the posts as much as possible to prepare yourself for anything that may come up. Do not assume all the instructions are on the first post most of the time they are but sometime you must read through the post and multiple post.

yep, exactly what i did. I even used the video site provided.
So yours wont turn on as well if so how did you fix it??
Hi guys, a little background :
I S-Off'd my Desire S a few weeks ago and installed/clicked gingerbread which i gather roots it?
One day my screen went blank randomly with just the notification bar showing up top. No buttons worked, couldn't turn it off etc.. so I did a battery pull. It then got stuck on the HTC screen, so I googled, tried clicking recovery/factory reset etc.. all while not really knowing what i was doing, but in the end it randomly loaded after a long wait.
Phew, or so I thought.
Now it constantly crashes, turns itself off, the camera doesn't work, force closes galore.. it's a mess. Figured the battery pull messed something up.
Searched a bit more and figured i should try and flash a ROM which might fix it and get it stable again.
Tried installing using 'download ROM' in Rommanager, it did all the installing and whatnot, but when it rebooted nothing had changed. Tried three times, same deal. Figure I should install a ROM via the SD card instead.
Found this forum and a relatively simple/safe guide :
I'm using the guide here : How to flash a perfect ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
The Rom is MIUI.
However, I'm only on step 2 : Format data. (Formatting /system was fine)
Clockworkmod says Formatting /data for about 5 minutes, then : Error formatting /data.
Help!
A big thanks in advance.
Spare yourself a lot of troubles - use RUU and start fresh...

Could be a faulty eMMC chip on the phones motherboard, these tend to break after a few bad battery pulls?
If installing a new ROM on the phone wont work and you get data format problems I would do as posted above. If this doesnt work I would suggest a faulty eMMC chip.

Is there a fairly easy to follow guide that includes every step on here?
According to the FAQ I might have a fried chip.. the e:Unable to mount errors.
Can I still save it with the RUU?
I'm clueless, and a fair few of the guides are not too noob friendly tbh, could you please point me in the direction of an easy to follow guide?
I wish I knew how deadly the battery pulls would be before hand, but when your phone is frozen and you can't power it off, it seems logical. Arrrghg.
Much appreciated.

Since you still can boot into your system you are good.
Download the RUU that is right for you from here. Connect your phone to the PC and run the RUU.exe. It will hadle everything automatically. Then you will be back to Stock. To go back to custom ROM:
1) use Revolutionary
2) no need of Gingerbreak since you will flash a rooted ROM
3) flash custom ROM from recovery

Ok, I have the RUU downloaded.
Should I just connect the USB cable to the phone while it's in ClockworkMod, HBOOT, or does it not matter?
Soooo.. plug in USB cable, run the RUU file in Windows.. should work?
Cheers again.

I can't get into the phone to go into settings and turn USB debugging on though As soon as I get it functioning to that degree I'm not using it for anything other than calls in case I break it again. sadly, I could have earlier before I tried flashing a new ROM. Hindsight eh?
All I can get is HBOOT/ClockworkMod.
Tried RUU with the HTC white screen on and also while in Clockwork Mod.
Anything else I could try?
Thanks.
Are you using windows?
If yes download HTC sync and instal it, could be a missing driver.

From the power menu in ClockworkMod reboot to bootloader (hboot) and with the volume key go to FASBOOT (then you should see "FASTBOOT USB"). Then run the RUU again. Let me know is it working please because I will leave my PC soon

If your intending on re-running revolutionary to S-OFF your device again then you must first de-install the program HTC SYNC from your PC, don't worry the drivers are left behind and there are all that you need.
This is already the 4th case that the "E: cannot open...." error is successfully solved. I am keeping track on all such posts constantly and in my opinion if we have some more evidences for solved errors of this kind it will be good to remove the "[solved]BRICKed: inside eMMC's dead..." thread to avoid stressing the users...
I think this is a mistake of a service technician that was too lazy to diagnose and just replaced the chip...and started a great panic in this forum
Could be true.
I personally think there where a few devices out there with an chip failure, but most of the reported faults where wrong classified and could have been solved other ways.
Maybe it would be good to write the conclusion at the overall section down, cause our device isn't the only affected.

I will write a "calming" thread besides the Guide that is in my signature or as a part of it, just waiting for more confirmations that generally the chip is not affected when there is an error. But it seems not much people are reading the guides they prefer to start a new thread...Anyway I have a friend that is working at a centre of a Mobile Operator for my country and according to him among the hundreds (!) Nokia's, Samsung's, etc., he got only one faulty HTC for repair for the last 2 years (and there is a practice to replace rather than repair as well)

Good point although hopefully any new user experiencing this problem for the first time will create a post in this forum and can get pointed in the right direction, or better still there's always the hope that they will look at the INDEX/GUIDES themselves and read some of the resources that have been made available for them to use.
Possibly create a list of most likely resolution strategies in a new thread so that they can be tried in order and I'll refer users to that in the section on eMMC issues at the bottom of the INDEX thread, where I've tried not to scare users into thinking that its all too late and its game over in the textual intro bit!

Yep. My "[GUIDE] Read this before going for eMMC replacement" is updated with the solutions that worked so far..
I was one of the unlucky testers before Steve0007 closed the thread. Did anyone figure out how to save our Sensation after the bad flash? My phone does not light up or respond to any button presses but when plugged into the computer it is recognized as an "unrecognized device."
I guess this is the risk we run being early testers. Hopefully someone figures it out otherwise I've got myself very expensive paper weight.
I assume no two button rescue? And this should be in q/a or general
Can you get to the bootloader?

Thank god I didn't flash it, I just finished downloading it when people started reporting issues.
Anyway, I'm sure he didn't mean for it to happen. If you have a spare battery, have you tried putting that one in?
These things are usually flash at your own risk.
I would never flash a ruu, unless it's official it could cause problems.

Also, if it doesnt work and if you have tmo. Tell them bs and they will get you one. Just some advice and please dont flame me.
tried spare battery. same result. And i'm sure he didn't do it maliciously I've flashed many of his things before with no problem. Just hoping to get some help. Phone doesn't respond. Can't get to bootloader. Only sign of life is windows recognizing that i plugged something into the usb slot.
Yes as I said, this happened to me exactly when i had a tmo HD2 and flashed a european ruu and it was dead. I tried everything. You will have better luck to talk to your insurance company.
Have you got ADB installed on your pc? If not start downloading and installing it. I will find some links, in just a sec.
Edit:
New to ADB CLICK HER
More to set up path CLICK HERE
http://www.mediafire.com/?rrwi4f258lie1r7
Extract to system 32 or sysWOW64 (64bit)
Try 3 finger salute (VOL UP,VOL DOWN + POWER) with your phone plugged into pc and pc volume up see if it makes a sound like a device has connected.
Whats was this RUU anyway?
if you just need ADB you dont need all of the stuff above or to set up a path if its extracted to those folders

Ok guys, it looks like the firmware that I posted to another thread from 3.06 bricked few devices. I have flashed it and it worked fine, so i tried again with the package i posted and indeed it is corrupted as it bricked also mine
My device does not respond, so I would think it is dead
I feel sorry for those who have bricked also theirs based on the package i posted.
I am closing my Rom thread and starting now my Rom developments will be for my own use. I will not publish anymore my work.
Again I feel sorry for those who have lost their devices.

ok so now his rom thread is closed. Why not keep it open and work together to help those with bricked devices attempt to restore them to a working state?
That way you keep your reputation rather than running away after bricking devices?

???? I said IT CANT BOOT and I CAN GET INTO RED CWM AND DOWNLOAD MODE.... how would i root it if it wont boot....
And that program wont work because you have to have the drivers installed and from what i can see its impossible without at some point having my phone connect (regularly, not in CWM or download mode) which is obviously not gonna happen... so thats useless as can be....
ALSO I FIGURED OUT HOW TO TAKE THE WRITE-PROTECTION OFF (NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS, I FOUND THE SETTING IN DEVICE MANAGER!) BUT IM DUMB AND CANT FLASH THE ROM BECAUSE ITS IN THE EXT SD NOT THE INTERNAL SD! ANY WAY AROUND THIS?
and while trying to follow a tutorial (which i think was BS now) all my drivers are gone from "Computer" except for C, D, and my disc drive 0.0 stupid KEY REGISTRY CRAP! so i need to figure this out and when im done i need to restore to before i screwed it up
EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION THO THAT MY BROTHERS GF HAS AN INFUSE I THINK SO IM GONNA HAVE HER COME OVER AND ILL FINISH INSTALLING THE DRIVERS WITH HERS, THAT WOULD WORK RIGHT???
if your phone won't boot and you don't have a cwm back up or if you don't have a rom on your internal sdcard or don't have zen tool kit then your sol and you have no other options but to flash ur phone back to stock in download mode using odius or hymenthingy.

I take offense to the title "mufmaker," Sir. I've re-flavored a MUF or two and might have even dyed a few MUFs. But make one, I did not.
btw..we had this discussion a while back...the OS that runs the phone may be more accurately call a firmware. So we have Unofficial Firmwares. And Modified UFs can be called MUFs

Thanks for starting your own thread.
Screen stays black, power button stays black, can't get HTC screen or reovery up? If that's the case, it's bricked. You can try the Unbricking thread, you'll need a linux boot disk if you don't run linux and some time and patience. I'll brb to post helpful links.

Unbrick thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966850 If you make it past step 3 you may be able to save it. Otherwise, needs Jtag or warranty repair.
Good luck.
Did you flash anything with ROM Manager? I'm not sure it's supported for the One XL, but that could have changed. In the early days, a lot of people bricked because it was flashing things for the quad-core phone, which uses a different partition layout.
Was it functioning correctly, but then the battery went dead and it never revived? That sounds like the power management bug. Some people, unfortunately, have had their phones just die like this, like it just decides the battery is dead and won't recharge. If that's the case, you're due for a warranty replacement.
thanks.

well, the problem is it dint let me to do a lot of things trhough rom manager because it wasnt the premium version but it did let me change a bootable setting and i do not remember which. the phone after that worket normally. but my stupid self forgot i have changed that in rom manager, went to work, my battery emptied during the day and the phone went off. when i plugged it when i came home it would not charge or turn on. so my guess is it is trying to boot something i set up but doesnt have enough power to finish it and cannot recharge further because it is stuck in that booting... if I understood anything about this things in these few hours i was trying to be smart and jerked off around the phone
i guess i deserve it
thanks

There's bit of etiquette involved. If the thread is "mature" in the sense that the OP's issue has been resolved, or multiple discussion threads have evolved, then popping in with a related question is fine. It's just not polite to pop in on the second page of someone else's query when people are still trying to help him, unless you have the identical problem.

well, the problem is it dint let me to do a lot of things trhough rom manager because it wasnt the premium version but it did let me change a bootable setting and i do not remember which. the phone after that worket normally. but my stupid self forgot i have changed that in rom manager, went to work, my battery emptied during the day and the phone went off. when i plugged it when i came home it would not charge or turn on. so my guess is it is trying to boot something i set up but doesnt have enough power to finish it and cannot recharge further because it is stuck in that booting... if I understood anything about this things in these few hours i was trying to be smart and jerked off around the phone

It's possible, but sounds unlikely. I don't think that just changing some setting would stop it from at least powering on. ROM Manager would have had to overwrite something critical that would prevent the CPU from even finding hboot. Had you merely messed up some boot setting, you should still be able to get the boot screen, which would then start looping.
Plug your phone into your PC and see what pops up in Device Manager. I expect you'll get QHUSB_DLOAD, which means you're bricked.
guyz. what about this line?

A null p4: included in the unbrick package.. you will need to hex edit your IMEI into this file. the offset is 0x21c, it's after 11111111, which is the SuperCID

I've never used that unbrick tool but I'm assuming you would need to be able to get to the bootloader to get it to work. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hex edit your imei into bakp4 You cannot skip any steps. Did step 3 bring up your emmc partitions? if not you can't move any further. It's a full brick.
thanks,
i think i got ack something like sda1 sda2 sda3 so i am still hoping.
i have just opened my phone to find out there is no imei code printed anywhere in it.
so i am digging through my **** to find that little sticker which i think no longer exists.
heh, am i lucky.
is there an imei printed somwhere within the phone to your knowledge?
thanks a lot man

Needs to be the same amount of partitions as shown in the picture.. I think it's 32? if I'm not mistaken. If not, then you cannot recover.
no, it's not printed on the phone anywhere. It's in the Hboot or in the box the phone came with. that's it.
If you got it from AT&T, contact them and ask for bit. Whenever they activate a phone, we store it in the system and keeps track of what phone the customer is using.

I doubt AT&T can tell you unlocked it. They'll assume it's a power issue like Telus did for me. HTC may or may not warrant it. Mixed results from xda members

It should be in the EFS nv_data.bin. folder.
