[Q] Device completely unusable :( PLZ HELP

I tried following cyanogen wiki on an Inspire 4G. It didn't work and gave "Incorrect Model ID" error.
So I switched to use Hack-Ace tool. Everything worked as expected and I guess I was going good. When Hack-Ace completed, the phone went into an infinite look showing HTC logo then blind to a black screen with background light ON.
I could ADB and reboot in bootloader where I clashed the CM7 ROM. Every step went through fine and it restarted. Now all I get is nothing.
The device shows the HTC Logo on white screen after leaving a while and the vibrator is ON constantly. It doesn't help really but keeps doing that. It will only stop if I remove battery.
Plugging the device into USB doesn't detect on PC.
When tried charging, it shows the error messages and nothing happens, no buttons interact.
I guess I have a full brickd phone now

Yah, try the ruu. Seeing how it at least turns on means it might be fixable. Can you get into recovery?

You font nerd recovery with that file. Just out it on the root if your sdcard. Meaning not in any folder and boot into bootloader...not recovery then it will recognize the file then just follow onscreen instructions

Dude download the PD98 file above it is the rooted updated gingerbread ROM. Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)

Hi,
Are you s-off?
What ROM?
What radio?
Etc. etc,
MOAR information,please

I used Android Revolution HD I fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you i would be grateful if you can help me! I am S-Off yes

For Revolution HD there are very critical pre-requisites before flashing ROM:
-Latest and recommended firmware package (Differs for each version pls check)
-Super wipe script
-4ext
Did you do all before flashing ROM?

I think i did not. I've just rooted and after installed this custom ROM and it worked for 3 days until today. What i want to do is to access Recovery so i can swipe everything and Install a new ROM. but every time i try to access my phone restarts

I had a problem similar not long ago. My phone would do constant restart when trying to boot up and I had a firmware file on my sd card so it wouldn't go into recovery (4ext touch). So I removed the sd card and was able to go into recovery, tho nothing showed up, I inserted my sim card back in and THANKFULLY it recognized it and I could fix my problem. Not sure if doing this will help with your problem but give it a shot.

Try to flash 4ext:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759

trying right now mates... let's see !!!

If not works, then try to install original RUU and startover.
To install original RUU:
- Just connect your phone to Windows (Drivers must be installed before, to do that just install HTC sync, it will also install some other stuff (drivers), uninstall JUST HTC Sync not the other stuff)
- Run RUU.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

I am telling you that my phone doesn't turn on at all... i mean i can't go to menu etc..

I am downloading this : RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed.exe at the moment ! is this good?!

You may guess best one to choose by your operator and country.
I have tried several ones till get the correct one since i do not remember the original one

I've just installed that my friend but same problem

Did you installed HTC Sync?
Does Windows recognized your phone succesfully before install?
Does RUU installed properly? It should reboot several times while installing.
Would you please describe problem in some more detail? When you push power button what happens? Did you see anything on screen? When you push volumedown and power together, what happens? What is on the screen?

Did you manage to fix ur problem mate.

If you flashed the radio file, you need to take that off your sd card otherwise it will just keep updating the radio or trying to and you can't get into recovery. Pull card and delete that file you placed there. Then you can boot into bootloader and get to recovery. if you have arhd rom, once you boot into the rom, go to settings., power and uncheck fastboot.

If you are trying to get an arhd rom loaded I suggest you come over to the arhd dev thread and ask. You will get a solution. Kernels are in the rom so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Start with what shows at the top of your bootloader screen. Locked unlock, radio, hboot etc. that will help.

[Q] Sensation won't boot into HBOOT

Hi, noob question I guess...
I have looked everywhere for this answer throughout these forums and google and I'm really sorry if the answer is lurking somewhere here already.
I am in the middle of installing a custom ROM on my 2nd sensation 4g (w/ tmobile) and I'm stuck. There was a firmware issue and the phone was stuck in a boot loop after clearing caches and all that jazz so I had to superwipe and try a different firmware file. I've booted the phone into hboot about a bajillion times tonight but now it won't boot into hboot in order for me to install the new firmware. Hitting vol down+power. Just boots into regular HTC white screen, then continues bootloop again. Tried taking out the SD card, tried just letting it sit a while, I can't think of what else.
Nearly every other issue I've found about this has people suggesting to use a rom manager or quickboot to just start over at ruu files but I'm at the stage in the rom process where I can't boot normally or get into recovery to install zip files. And maybe I can use a rom manager at this point but I just don't know how?
Please help? :\

Double check if you unticked fastboot mode.

I have no way of checking that. I cannot boot past the white HTC logo on startup, so I can't get into the power settings.
I know for sure that it's not in fastboot because I've booted into hboot about 50 times previous to this tonight.

Pulling out and reinserting battery? then power on whill pushing volume down?

Yep, that's what I'm doing. Instead of flashing to the hboot screen like it normally does when I'm holding both buttons, the screen stays black until I release the buttons, then it starts loading up the HTC screen like it's trying to boot normally. Doesn't matter how long I hold the buttons for.

weird! sorry no other ideas

Solid amber light with no/long boot

I know this title comes up a lot but I can't seem to find my problem.
I wanted to go back to the stock rom and I used the proper RUU but totally forgot to use the S-ON tool before hand. It installed successfully but now I get a solid amber light and so far I got my inspire to boot once only to get stuck on the splash screen with it vibrating non-stop.
And now it just vibrated once, went to a black screen and then shut off. I really don't know what to do since I can't even get to HBOOT nor will the computer recognize it.
I've done numerous batter/sim card pulls as well as clean them out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried booting into the bootloader and doing a factory reset?

I think he was referring to the bootloader as HBOOT. I had this problem while rooting my sisters Inspire. Might be a corrupted bootloader.

Last I remember my bootloader was TWRP which I guess I had accidentally installed somehow. If you think its a corrupted bootloader how would I go about solving this, if there is a solution?

It seems that the RUU you flashed was a Froyo one and your phone was running GB so you messed the bootloader. Hit the Hack Kit IRC channel (is in the OP thread) and we will lend u a hand to fix that....

Alright so I went to the IRC and they told me they couldn't help because it did not deal with the hack kit, fair enough.
I have been able to get the phone to boot after waiting for about 10 minutes but I cannot get to the bootloader. I tried rooting the phone again this way I can turn s-on then flash the stock rom again but the phone ends up not being detected half way through the process.
I really don't know what else to do...
Forgot to mention, now my inspire boots but then fades to a greyed out screen. My computer recognizes the phone as something occupying the usb port but is not accessible. Wish the phone had a physical reset button somewhere that i can poke with a paperclip...

I will get back on the IRC this evening when I get home from work thanks again!!!

Does it say anything about QHUSB_DLOAD USB device being connected?

I ran into a similar problem not too long ago, immediate vibrating followed by a solid amber light and no phone activity (nothing on the screen at all). I knew I had a backup in Recovery, but I couldn't even get into recovery.
In order to work around this, I did the following steps.
1. Deleted the PD98IMG file from my SD card (so I could get to recovery once I made it to the bootloader).
2. Take out the battery, then put it back in.
3. Plug in the phone, and let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Start into bootloader (hold power + Volume Down)
Now, in my case I was just trying to get back into recovery. if you don't have a working recovery, or no ROM to flash, you'll want to grab a few RUU 's to try from the bootloader. Try stock GB first, then try a stock Froyo just for the heck of it.
Hope this helps! Good luck to anyone else that's stumbled into this problem.
side note: I've also heard of this "power problem" occurring to other people without bootloops or screwed up bootloaders: which is solved by doing steps 2 and 3, then it'll boot up normally.

im having same issue i have gb stock and i accidtly did froyo ruu phones power bottun does nothing i have to plug it into computer and it will get solid amber light then eventually it either brings up battery charge icon and then if i press power button or unplug it. it just shuts off the i plug it back in and wait sometimes white htc screen comes up and it vibrates for a while then boots ad works like nothing is wrong but i cant flash gb ruu when i try to do that or re root and go to recovery to reistall ics that is on my sd as soon as phone restarts during process it doesnt reboot then i have to go threw whole procss of trying to get it to boot back up

im new to this site but i did exactly what you said in your post and now my inspire wont reboot unless i go threw a few hour process of plugin my phone in and i get solid amber light for like 5 min then a battery charge screen comes up then i have to unplug my phone and plug it back in the last time i did this it took about 8 hours of tryin until it finally got amber light for like 5 min then started vibrating for a min or 2 then it booted up and its bin workin fine for like a week now ive tried to reflash gingerbread ruu ive tried doin upgrade from my phone and tried reroot but as soon as it shuts down to start upgrade my phone is off and wont reboot

I also have bricked my M8

So I was playing around trying to get Sound MOD to work(dont ask me y..I was bored) And I have bricked my phone. I am stuck on the white HTC screen the one at the begining of the boot..the one that says this build is for development purposes..blah blah. and it is just stuck there. Adb wont find device or nothing..I am truly screwed..yes?

Well, ADB wouldn't be able to do anything at that point anyway. It's not fully booted, or in the bootloader.
Have you tried powering it off, and booting to the bootloader? From there recovery, do a factory reset, and see if it boots then?

So you've tried doing a factory reset, and afterwards it still just gets stuck during boot? And do you mean it boots back to the HTC boot screen after restoring an image and rebooting, or you select "Restore image" (or whatever) and it instantly reboots and gets stuck?

It is impossible for me to flash a rom. Cant get into a recovery to do it.
Ok so update: I was SOMEHOW able to get into recovery(TWRP) but no matter what i try to do it just reboots back into recovery..any ideas?
EDIT: gonna try verizon RUU. Fingers crossed

Just a thought here. TWRP can install from USB. I have flashed from a thumbdrive in the past on an S3. You may be able to do same. I know this is a shot in the dark but may help.

Will it just sit at the recovery screen or does it boot before you touch anything? If it will sit at the TWRP main screen you should be able to boot into hboot via adb and try a reflash of twrp or CWM. Your recovery may be corrupt.

You're definitely not bricked. You're catching breaks left and right.

After toying around with it for HOURS! Somehow I was able to get it to boot into hboot. Which from there was ablt to fastboot an RUU and profit!
