[Q]Bricked with ICS Virtuous Quattro 3??

Hi,
I had a rooted s-off Sensation that was previously running CM7 alpha build and a couple of days ago was upgraded to Virtuous Quattro alpha 3.
I had all the correct firmware installed from RUU 3.24.401.1, and Quattro was running without any major problems.
I was playing with settings for SMS go pro, and the phone froze. I gave it a couple minutes to defrost, but nothing took. So I removed the battery and restarted the phone.
It vibrated and I awaited the HTC white splash screen but nothing, it kept the lights off but it would vibrate every 20 -30 seconds like it was booting up.
I let it run for 30 min thinking it would fix something. I took the battery out, took the sim card and sd card out. I charged it from the wall, from a computer, booted with a computer that has Android SDK on it.... nothing.
T-mobile is sending me a new one. But I just want to figure out what happened.
Any insight?

turn it on and let it just sit for 20 minutes. ive seen an inspire 4g do this
EDIT: didnt read OP's full thread. My bad

Don't know when you updated your firmware since the new way doesn't require SuperCID that should not be the problem.. But was wondering have you tried to return to recovery and flash CM7 again?

I don't have access to recovery. The phone loops in the boot cycle before hboot is initialized

CM10 Always Force shutdown within 2 mins of using (HELP)

so i been trying constantly to install cm10 on my phone and i even tried some of the other roms based on it (pacman and JellyBam) but the phone loads fine and i get the the screen that sais to pick my language (obviously the first time i booted i got the "android is upgrading" stuff)
but on every rom i get like half way though the initial setup and my phone just shuts off but not actully off it just turn off the display and the keys but i cant do anything and i cannot turn back on without pulling the battery.
i managed once to get past the setup screen but then i got some FC's such as clock and keyboard. am i doing something wrong?
i upgraded from Stock GB and also tried from CM7 (stable) and also the cm7 works with the phone signal but every rom i flashed with cm10 i get no signal at all.

[Q] samsung infuse 4g crashing just as it starts

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

[Q] Bootloader Stuck On Restart

Hi all, I have a weird issue that every time I flash a ROM on my phone I get stuck on the bootloader screen after I restart for about 5-10 minutes until my screen turns off, then after the screen is off im able to wake it and use it regularly. I have this issue with almost every ROM I have tried. I used the RUU to restore my phone about a week ago if that matters. My phone is S-OFF and pre-rooted. Does anyone else have this issue or know what is wrong?

I think i found my issue im updating my firmware to the lastest see if that works..

Yea sounds like you r not on the newest firmware out.

[Q] venom rom sent me to infinate htc boot screen upon reboot

this is my first htc and so far i am missing my samsung and motos
the phone is now completely non responsive and is stalled at the HTC boot screen with the text "this build is for development purposes only " i have the verizon htc one m8 ive tried removing the sd and sim holding power holding volume and power nothing makes a difference.
rooted with s off twrp is my custom recovery
started by putting slimrom on for a change of pace i had horrible signal strength and decided to try another rom somewhere in the process of flashing venom one my sd lost its backups the phone had stayed on the same screen for a while but eventually booted to a stable seeming venom rom and had 3g but no 4g service i ended up rebooting the phone today around 11 am and its been in this loop / screen since. i let the battery die down and was able to get to recovery and searched for my back ups but they were gone i ended up rebooting and now am stuck on the same screen as before. even after trying to enter recovery twrp it goes back to htc and not twrp
i tried every combination of buttons the few times and have drained the battery twice and now it just boots to this screen and is non responsive. hope that i can manage to find a way to push something to it or enter recovery and go back to stock using ruu's
anyone with input or advice would be a blessing at this point id be happy to make a donation for any useful help / anything to get me out of this screen even so i can push another rom or ruu to get me to stock
im afraid ive ruined a perfectly awesome phone
update got back to twrp and tried to re flash the venom one rom after full wipe but used their option for "stock" install said 100% and sucessful but upon the reboot is now seems to be stuck in the same screen.

got into the recover after battery died re flashed venom
after about 15 minutes on the htc screen it went to set up ....still very buggy more so than last time the phone was actually working but it is at least from what i can tell working ... going to try to get back to square one somehow
screen wont turn on and acts very buggy only time it stays on is holding power and gives reboot options... i done f ' ed this phone up.

How long are you waiting after I restarts when the install is finished? It will take a long time on that first boot. I have seen them take more than 5 minutes and if you interrupt it it can cause problems.
