Hi,
I recently rooted my htc vivid and i tried to flash a rom. However, the rom didnt work and my phone isnt working. The phone's bottom touch-buttons vibrate when touched, but the screen remains off no matter what i do. What's wrong with it?
EDIT: I got it to boot, however, its stuck on booting, the boot logo just keeps on popping up. What should I do?
any luck?
sounds like you need to try and flash the rom again. this may or may not be a know issue with the rom. check the thread where you got the rom. I had to flash twice with the same rom the last time i did it (unrelated device)
May have to hold the buttons in a specific sequence to get back to the debug mode.
also have a look through this thread:

Hi,
I will prefix this (as there are a few people around with this problem who can get into recovery mode) with the fact that holding down Vol- on boot is not getting me to the recovery / bootloader screen.
I have a rooted HTC Desire S (rooted it nearly a year ago, so info about the hboot etc is a distant memory).
Anyhoo, I decided to have a play about with one of the ICS roms but it was a bit buggy and the camera drivers still aren't working for video so I decided to go back to Endymion V3.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
I did a full wipe, installed base rom, installed optional addons and then upgraded to 3.4 - booted fine into the OS so set about getting my system set up the way I like it.
I noticed that endy came with a theme installer so clicked on one of them to have a look, it asked for root, said it was installed and would need to reboot to take effect...
SO
the problem is, it now won't boot and is stuck on the white HTC boot screen.
Holding vol+/- and power buttons reset it but it just ends up back hanging on the boot screen.
Have tried pulling battery and trying again.
Holding Volume Down when powering up is no longer doing anything
So, I either need a saviour to point me in the direction of a fix.. or a kindly sould to break it to me gently when they tell me my phone has gone to the USB Dock in the sky..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
update:
After pulling battery again, pulling out sim and sd cards, booting with vol- held down, i got into recovery. Am going to try and flash a different rom after doing a full wipe, I'll update once it's done but any insights in the meanwhile will still be appreciated
Sorted, cleared the thing out, stuck reaper CM rom on it, rebooted and everything is peachy for now.
Thanks me
Curious if anyone knows why this might have happened?
because you didnt flash the addon zip which was released alongside endymon and then tried to use the addons,it does say on the screen do not use these unless you have installed the addons
Hello I am searching for help. The problem is that my galaxy s2 i9100 stopped working properly. It started like this maybe I took out the battery or something I don't remember and then I turned it on the phone wouldn't boot. I thought maybe my android operation system got bricked so I decided to re flash it but as I can remember the phone wouldn't go in to download mode but some how I managed to reflash the firmware but then phone booted it just froze and then I pressed lock button the phone screen would go black and reboot. After installing cyanogen mode 11 the phone would boot and it could be used again until pressed the lock button it would go black and reboot so I have been reading forums and found problems like boot loop corrupted mmc or something else corrupted and I don't know what the real problem is because the symptoms are like boot loop or corrupted mmc or soft brick. I have already tried other kernels other android versions clock work mode

I have found that my emmc has the insane chip bug. The phone boots normally with cyanogen mode 11 but then it goes to sleep mode or I press the power button the screen goes black and the phone restarts. I have tried siyah kernel to try dual boot but then I flash siyah I cant get into recovery.
I think you should flash latest STOCK ROM with Odin, and then follow available custom rom instructions on xda...
Test if the stock rom will work for you, boot your phone etc... Try to use it a few days. If everything is OK, proceed with
further procedures...

I have already tried this but with the stock rom phone boots but at the section where I have to chose language I jus freezes stops working
So I think it is a hardware problem. Phone on stock rom shouldn't freeze on language selection. Something is wrong. If you are on warranty, let them fix it for you, if you are not, try to fix it in some phone repair point. I'm sure you can stop your attempts. It will not be better for now.

Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one

I just bought my wife a new phone (Razr hd ftw) because she was on the original razr and its pretty much no good anymore. I was giving her the luxury phone treatment. I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, and installed cm11. Everything was going great but now for some reason when I try to get into the recovery...i get the moto logo, and its just shuts off. I flashed a new recovery twice, and it shows success on my cmd window, but its still shutting off when I try to get into recovery menu. Any suggestions?
**Update** I was able to get back into recovery after trying over and over again. I still have the issue where it shuts off, but its random. I wonder whats wrong :-/
Which version of CWM are you using and where did you get it?
This isn't the correct place to asking for help...
Hello guys,
some days ago my phone was permantly booting up in the recovery mode nothing else was possible. As I was on road and couldn't access internet anywhere I just tried to do some wipes, which then made my phone not show anything. I guess the reason that it didn't boot up anymore was that the battery was fully drained. When I was finally back home I was able to charge my phone but then the following happend:
I can start my OPO, see the android logo and then it turns black, but it fully boots up. I mean I can even click the touchscreen and hear some touch reactions/sounds. Also I'm able to turn up/down the volume and hear my phone. Furthermore I'm also able to do the "V-gesture" to turn on the flashlight. When I boot up into fastboot mode I also see the message "fastboot mode" + the little cyanogen face.
All in all everything seems to work, aside that I dont see anything else than dark after the logo.
I tried flashing new roms, stock reset, like seriously anything, but I can't get my phone to work probably again.
Does that mean that my phone got some hardware problems, maybe the touchscreen?
Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
btw: English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
You'll have to try flashing completely stock CM11 rom or CM12 rom, img by img in fastboot..modem, boot, system etc. I helped a friend who had this kind of problem. Probably not the cleanest way, but at least it works.
Already did that 3times using different methods. Stock CM11, CM12 and colorOS
I have a similar problem, did you manage to fix it? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Capelare.
