How in the Hell do you get to HBOOT??? to flash clockwork??? I have searched and searched and it is probably right in front of my face but i just cant seem to find it!! ive tried power + vol up, power + vol down, power + volume up and down.. what is the damn combination ahahah!!! every other phone that I have had this info was easy to find usually in the first sticky, maybe im just a dumb ass today, but i have never had getting to the recovery/hboot give me soo much trouble
Wrong forum
1. First switch off..
2. Remove and re-insert battery..
3. Press volume down
4. Press power with keeping both power+volume down buttons pressed untill whilte screen comes out..
5. Did u see something?
BUT POST EVERYTHING IN RIGHT SECTION. POST THIS QUESTIONS IN Q/A SECTION, ONLY IF U CANT FIND ANY SOLUTIONS and i hope this kind of problem many users had already. SEARCH BEFORE POSTING..

And post in the Q&A Forum.
The reason the battery pull is necessary is because you have fast boot on. You won't need to do it if you go to Settings --> Power and unchecked fast boot

hey guys,
my phone litteraly wont do anything. i f*ed up some fonts using type fresh, then tried to restore using the odin3 downloader. i accidentally closed it, and now my phone wont boot up/react to any buttons pressed. any help? thanks guys!
had the same problem. i cant figure out how to even get odin working, it says one click but when i hook up it to odin it gives me a message that still doesnt tell me ****. i had to send my phone back for a new one and told them i used easyroot on the market bc i didnt know what it was and it sounded cool but now i know not to ever do that again that it messd up my phone. Praying to god that they dont charge my for anything
You should still be able to enter bootloader mode by turning phone off and holding down up/down vol and pwr simultaneously until boot screen flashes then release power button only
it wont even do that
open odin (use the stock one click version)
with the phone off (remove/reinsert the battery if need be) and not plugged in; hold vol. down and insert the usb cable (keep holding vol. down untill you see the download screen). this should put you into download mode and if you have the right drivers odin should recognize the phone.
I've stuffed my captivate on a few occasions and so far I have been able to use this method to get into download mode and fix it.
it wont do anything at all. it wont power on, show up in adb, anything... and stupid att wont do ANYTHING -_- oh well. any help would be appreciated!
Have any of you offering support to the OP actually had your phone in the described state? I've read a few posts where the phone is seemingly completely dead as the OP describes and no one says they've successfully recovered from that state. All I ever see is the same old button combinations/battery/usb shenanigans and statements of that should work and that the phone is unbrickable. I have personally seen a device that was behaving in such a manner and no combination of battery pulling, usb plugging, button holding, or tongue twisting would generate anything from the phone. The only thing the phone would do was get hot.
same here. Phone showed bright green screen...wasnt done with teh flash and said it was finished...now the nly thing I can get is power and hold the vlume up for some IRQ and hex stuff. I posted a questionthis morning but...serious. Vol up and down and any things else gives nothign but a black screen..battery out...back in anything..its torched.
Have you tried getting into download mode via the sdk?

Did you read the rest of the posts? The OP already stated several times that the phone does nothing. I realize that most people will say it does nothing or is "bricked" if it simply shows the "connect to computer" screen, but the OP has stated more than once that the phone shows nothing. Yes, everyone is trying to help, but simply repeating what has been said numerous times before doesn't help.
Has anyone actually recovered a phone that displays NOTHING? No logos, no recovery, no nothing.
Last night, i turned off the light in my room when i noticed a glowing from my desk. i walked over, and it turns out my captivate's screen was in fact on, it was just a faint black glow, and none of the power buttons would do anything. when i took the battery out, it shut off completely!
As I pointed out here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757293
Im pretty sure it was my fault for not completely following instructions on the ext4 one click install root, settings.db etc so everyone needs to make sure if the dev says flash before..do it.
State of the phone was, it would not completely power on..therefor no usb drivers would load and Odin cannot see the phone and it can no longer flash..the only thing I could get it to do was show a screen with that text. I put in my post. I ordered it via letstalk.com so I sent it back and assuming they get the same result Ill have a new one hopefully by the end of the week. Im just glad I stil had my old iphone3 to slap my sim card in.
The odin one click flash thing..it just flaked right at the start it looked like..but I cant be sure because as soon as I saw a blue progress bar I stepped into the kitchen for abtou 30 sec..I came back and the screen was florescent green and Odin said it was done. I knew something was wrong as it was way too fast so I unplugged, removed the battery and set it back in...from there on out it would do nothing with the power button unless on a semi rare occasion if I hit the volume up button and power I got the IRQ stuff.
Annoying as I had a nandroid backup just before I started messing with it.
i just sent mine into samsung... back to mah ol trusty blackjack. gonna have to get used to supermario bros 3 instead of spyro....
ANYWAYS theyre sending me a new one!

Hey thanks, but i already sent it to em... thank you everyone for your help!
Just a note... i said before hold vol down and plug in usb. I had it in a pretty bad state tonight. Played around. Same idea as before, but had to hold vol up and vol down. If i brick a few more times, i'll give a better guide. But this phone can DEFINITELY come back from a state where you can't even get it to power on. Figured any additional info on this would be good.
Hello, i belive this is my first post but i been reading up on these forums and find them very helpfull. i did a search on here and google with my issue and found no help. last night i was looking through my contacts and my phone just froze. i waited a min or two and still froze. so i pulled the battery out to shut it off. now the phone is dead...it wont turn on, it wont charge when i plug it in the charger, i also tried pressing the volume and power buttons to do a factory reset with no luck.
if anyone can help, i would really appreciate it.
thank you
BTW: i belive tmobile return time is 14 days...so i cant return it to them since its like day 34...just my luck lol
You should be able to swap it out no matter what, your warranty is still in place. Just bring it to the store and they should either give you another one the same day or order you one man.

Did you press the volume down and the power button(not both volume buttons) until you see the screen with the box and android? Also try pulling battery and leaving it out for at least a minute or two. Have you rooted the phone?Where you on a custom rom? With more information furnished I am sure the talented people on this forum can be of more help.

I would try putting the vol down and power together again (you can press the vol button and then press the power and hold both for at least a minute) to see if you get any response. If not, contact TMo on the phone and you will have a replacement unit in a few days.
Question - when you plug it into the charger, do you see a battery charging screen come up? One unknown is the battery.
You might go to a TMo store and see if they will let you plug the battery from their demo in yours and see if it will respond to the above. If it does, it is your battery (you should also be able to get that under warranty).
If not - it is your phone - then do the above.
If your PC is not recognizing the device when you plug in then you are pretty much screwed... sorry man...
he sd he just tryed doing a factory reset which is vol up n power thats y i asked if he put recovery on there using nvflash cuz if not vol down n power wont work idk man could be a battery dwf weird n do what jhaste sd if it recognizes it ur good if not idk
thanks for your help everyone.
to answer some questions
1. i did not do nv flash
2.when i plug it in the charger i dont get a charging indicator or screen.
my girlfriend has the same phone as me...so when i get home today i will swap the battery to see if its the issue. i did call tmobile and they said if the battery swap dosnt do anything that i can get a replacement under warranty. good new i guess
im just worried i will get one with bugs lol ( like random shut downs, screen bleed, and gps issues) cause mine has been flawless...untill this lol

well seeing as you did not use nvflash, when you get home try flashing clockworkmond recovery using the nvflash method... Ive got a feeling that when you pull the battery, hold your volume buttons down and plug in the usb cord that it will perk up

is this guide what i need?
androidtotal.com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-lg-g2x-t-mobile-nvflasher
looks like a complete guide. also will make my phone stock again or will it have something else? i guess i should google what clockworkmod is
yea dude im with jhaste on this one i mean that is weird shouldnt have dun that on stock rom thats y 50% of me says its battery but dude if u do hook it up to the computer n u get life ur good then u need to do the nvflash method install recovery n flash a rom theres even an image for the stock rom if u like that one that much. its all in development part of forum. so worst case scenario bro u could do that i think ull be aight n if u do end up takin it back under warranty n u get a ****ty one man that sounds so bad u should always get a good one, but neways if u get one that has bad screen bleed or something quirky call tmobile again u have a yr warranty just dont drop it scratch it or dunk it in water lol n ur warranty should be good n dude dont worry bout screen bleed i have it a lil n i can give two ****s it dont bother me its common with newer lcds i mean if u have it bad n can notice it when doing daily things with ur phone then by all means take it back if that aint the case then dont worry bout it cuz 99% of the time ull get the same result if u take it back
its under development and u wana use the ext4 version its the newest tgagunman has a nice easy guide i myself dont know how to put links up so if someone could

nice...thanks alot for your help. i will update this when i get any results
no prob bro let me know what happens
so here is the update....i swap the battery out and stick nothing! so battery is good. now when i did the apx my pc found a apx...so i installed the drivers. then i got to flash it using nvflash. i click on clockworkmod internalSD/ext4 green box pops up and says waiting for bootloader to initialize and stays there.... it wont go any furture then that. i also tried stock recovery and it does the same damn thing. i am holding the vol buttons.
so it looks like this phone is POS dead lol.....yay
unless im doing something wrong and im missing something. do i HAVE to run the nvflasher as admin like the guy in the video did? cause im having trouble login in as admin
Sorry but i have been frantically searching the forum but cannot find what i need. This morning my phone was acting strangely so I restarted it, but it seemed to be stuck in a loop restarting again and again. I read on here to hold volume up/down and power to be able to remove battery, then I put batt back in held vol down and pressed power and on the menu in selected recovery. My problem now is phone is stuck on a black screen with phone picture and red warning sign. I don't know where to go from here...sorry if this has been covered a million times but i searched for a good half hour and was getting forum fever. My Desire S is stock on android 2.3.5. Many thanks if you can help.
Your lucky that you can reach bootloader. From there find an option to reset your phone.
@lennyboi77
Thats your stock recovery, press vol up+power to access its menu. Try a reset.
ITs also worth a look here just to make sure you haven't damaged your phone.
From that point (if the reset never worked) I feel that you can only go the RUU route. So please can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" remember to remove your serial and imei. From that I should be able to point you to the correct RUU and if you will need a goldcard.
Dun worry, had that twice when installing ruu. but i never stop there, continued until succeed. BUT make sure u follow the step accordingly.
Is ur phone branded?

Thanks for your replies guys, I ended up going on the live chat on HTC website and the guy guided me through doing a hard reset...was a bit worried at one point as he told me to pull the battery when it was doing the constant reset thing but he assured me it was fine to do so! Thankfully my phone has been fine since, I wasn't trying to install a RUU it was just freaking out of its own accord. Maybe it don't like mondays.

Mondays - Who does?....glad to hear phone fixed, you should update the title of the first post to have [SOLVED] at the start.
Pulling the battery is never recommended, even if told to do so by HTC support - I mean what do they have to loose? the only possibly safe opportunity to do so, is mid way through the phones power on and off cycle and you only have a tiny window, although this is only a last resort and not something to be tried by the faint at heart.
My phone is switched off and it wont turn on! if i connect it to a charger the led starts to blink. i tried volume down+ + power but the same thing happens as when i press the power button
the buttons flash 15 times and voila! Nothing happens!! Please help

This is the 3rd thread you've opened with the same problem....
What are you doing to continually get yourself into this situation?
If you're not doing anything, follow the advice you've previously been given (more thane once) in the other threads and take your device for repair.
From what I've read of your previous posts; You have a hardware issue and your better off with a new phone. It happens. Remember that mis-printed Oreo or the one time you found a double cheez-it? Your phone is just that one that's bad in the batch.

Pretty sure I already answered this in another thread -_-
I don't see why you'd post again...... Is it because I'm a noob!? D:
I have problems with an HTC Butterfly S that i recently purchased from a second hand source.
the phone came intact but still had a lot of the previous users information and other things on it so in trying to format and erase all the data, it for some reason got stuck after the htc start up screen and stayed there for a while. i knew something had gone wrong so i decided to reboot or attempt to reboot it. from here, its been failing to go on. iv tried holding in the power button for 10seconds but it just vibrates and thats it. also tried the resetting it by holding in the volume down button and power but still nothing.
the only time it is responsive is when i connect it to a charger and do the same volume down+power button for about a minute. what happens here is a battery with a lightening bolt appears on the screen but still nothing from there.
Assistance will be highly appreciated. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
