My phone is looping (on and off) during the boot sequence. The boot screen (red green yellow) says code error then goes to the update screen. It starts to flash and then shuts off for a couple of minutes and does the same sequence again. I was running Nedidum v4 and activated the lock screen. Every since then I cant boot to this rom nor can I flash the stock sprint rom. Is my phone bricked? If i take it to sprint can they tell I was running a cooked rom? Note: I reported my touch pro lost through assurion to get this tp2. Can I do it again? Helpppppppppppppp!!!!!

Perhaps this is karma hitting you in the ass?
Go to the boot loader by shutting the phone off, holding down the vol down button then turning the phone back on.
Once in the boot loader try flashing to the stock rom.
To answer your question, yes, Sprint could tell. That said, they aren't likely to check.

it wont let me flash...it starts flashing and at about 10% phone shuts off...few minutes later it turns itself back on and goes to the boot--flash screen. i"ve tried 5 different roms including stock sprint. Only thing on card is the image file. You say sprint can't tell...I thought the boot screen says security unlocked or something like that?

He is saying that sprint could figure out you flashed your phone, but it is more likely that they won't even check, as most users probably won't flash their phone. At the very least you could go through insurance.

Yes, Sprint can tell if someone bothers to look. Chances are just low that someone will look.
Why are you flashing from a card? Ditch the card.
Flash the STOCK Sprint ROM over USB.

I have Verizon but I agree, there are too many variables when flashing via sd card. A faulty or cheap card, bad sectors on the card itself, your card reader copying the rom file incorrectly, a bad format on the card, the list goes on and on with what can go wrong flashing via sd card. I only flash via USB. Then again I use buildos so I never had a problem with roms. Thats why I like cookin my own rom. No headaches.
Relax heres what you do.
bro heres what you gotta do to fix your pfoblem, first format your sd card to fat32 then copy the nbh file onto the card, rename it to RHODIMG insert the sd card then enter the boot loader menu by first taking out the battery, and reinserting it. now with the phone off hold the volume down button while pressing the power button this forces the device into bootloader mode. your screen WILL read RHODIMG os. now press the power button again to install whatever rom you want but I would recommend using a stock rom or one that you know works, ie- from past experience.
trust me bro do this and all will be fine again,
HAPPY FLASHING
oh dont forget to press the soft reset button once the rom installation is done when the screen says installation successful,
once again HAPPY Flashing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
the nbh file can be found next to the RUU application of whatever rom you choose when you open the rom with winrar this is the rom that will be flashed onto the phone.

Thanks all for your input...I've been flashing a year now, probably at least 500 times. Via sd card or activesync. I've tried everything..removing battery...formatting card...lada dada. cant connect via usb cause phone wont get past boot screen. I gave up and reported it missing o get a new one. It arrives today. I honestly think its the battery not holding a charge. Guess i find out for sure when the new tp2 arrives today. I'll post back here when i find out for sure.
Well got my new tp2 in this morning. I put the new battery in the old tp2 and it fired right up....to bad i had to waste my final insurance claim because of a battery.
ok, tried doing the official ota update about 2 days ago, but once it tried doing the update, my phone gets stuck at the (M) logo.
I cannot boot it up in anyway possible, and my battery is dead so i cant start it up while plugged in USB, but if its plugged into the wall itll start up and im able to get into boot loader etc...
ive tried putting a recovery img on root of sd card and applying as an update.zip file and getting an sdcard error status 7.
my phone was never rooted, all stock. any help>
power off your phone, plug it into wall charger and let it charge up. while its charging up download a 2.1 sbf,
SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P042_A005_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz (google it)
Then download RSD Lite (google it)
Then when your phone is charged boot into bootloader (hold up on keyboard and press power button)
connect to pc via usb, open rsd lite, make sure phone shows up connected, load sbf you downloaded and press start and let it do its thing.
should bring you back to stock 2.1.
hope this helps
well thats the thing, ive let it sit plugged into a wallcharger for hours upon hours, the secon i plug it in, it turns on by itsself and sits at the moto M screen, and once i unplug it i cant do that.
i am able to get it to the screen where you can wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache, reboot and apply update.zip. if i had an update file, and i did a wipe and flashed it, would that fix it? because ive tried that, but idk if its the wrong file or what, but i get a sdcard error. like status 7 on the verification step
also on getting the batt charged, i noticed when plugged into a wall screen lights up with M logo. and when i plug into computer with usb, the white light next to charger lights up?
hi guys...

.i want to reflash but rsd lite cannot detect my milestonext720...how ?..FYI b4 this i run adb on same pc...but it can run...all driver for motorola hav installed ..ill use rsd lite 4.5.3

I actually had this problem myself fairly recently. I was able to partially insert the plug into my phone until the LED turned on, but not far enough to where the Motorola logo turned on. It'll either try to fall out or plug further in, so I recommend placing it on a surface which won't have much disturbance.
After about an hour, you should have sufficient charge to mess around with the software and flash a new SBF by the bootloader, or reflash a backup through recovery. I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in too long like this, because it might not be very good for the phone's health.

umm .. what's about charging the battery with another phone or external charger and put it back to ur phone?
i have just the same issue ... i am sure that the battery is fully charged, cause ive charged it with another milestone ... but that one simply won't turn on ... tried different combinations of sd/simcard/battery on and off .. still the same ... Any help would be highly appreciated.
pull out the battery get back and push d-pad UP and power buttons before M logo came up. so you can flash a sbf file with rsd-lite._a
I'm a noob and I wiped my phone before trying recovery! DERP. Not sure what to do next.
So... I need a little help. I've been looking around and havent been able to find a situation like mine. I've got a completely wiped/factory reset HTC Inspire 4g. SD card is good and reformatted to fat32. Heres the basics. When I press the power button I get 3 vibrate and orange light, when I press volume down and power I get 5 vibrates and green light. When I plug phone in with usb (to computer or charger) I get clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.7. I am able to toggle through options, all works fine.
This is where I need help and I get easily confused. What do I do to get this phone back to stock settings? I've tried putting the stock pd98img.zip file onto the sd card, then installing via clockwork recovery. When I do this, I get failed installation EVERY time. I've also tried connecting through ace hack kit on my lap top and running the stock settings flash. Whenever it resets the phone it does the 3 vibrates/orange light and stops.
I would really appreciate someone with a little more experience to walk me through what I need to do to recover.
Update: When I try to download the zip from the sd card via clockworkmod I get the error E:Signature Verification Failed. I'm not sure what this means.
If someone can solve my problem I'll buy them lunch or coffee! Some kind of gift card to your favorite place? I'd really like my android back!

You only flash pd98 files from fast boot not from CWM recovery. Boot in bootloader and it will find it
I am going to come off as the biggest noob here, but its got to be done. How do you boot in bootloader?
EDIT: Alright. So Bootloader is Volume down and power. My phone won't boot into bootloader. Phone vibrate 5 times and green led comes on. Screen stays black the whole time.

Ok i dont use CWM but there maybe an option in there to reboot into bootloader. Try holding volume up and power. Could be confusing devices on that though

Nah, no other combo's work for getting into bootloader or rebooting it. From what I've read on other forums, if I can't get into bootloader, I'm bricked. Do you think since the phone is wiped back to factory settings that HTC would replace it under the warranty?
Since you can boot into recovery, adb should still work. Enter recovery then plug in your phone to PC and run adb reboot bootloader
Have you tried reflashing a rom in recovery aswell?

If you are booting into CWM your not back to factory. As stated above you can use adb to boot into bootloader
Just making sure I'm doing this right as its the first time I've ever use adb commands to me phone. Do I need to downloand Android SDK to write commands to the phone?
Okay. I've learned how to use the adb commands. That was cool. haha. So I popped the battery out, then back in to get to CWM. With phone connected to computer I tried adb reboot bootloader. My phone rebooted itself, but it did the 3 vibrates with a flashing orange LED. Adb reboot recovery does the same thing.
For being in recovery. Are you guys talking about the volume down power combination, when I do this and connect the phone to the pc, the pc doesn't detect the phone. So there is no abd commands/flashing roms to it in recovery.

OK looks like your bootloader is messed up. Go to the ace hack kit thread. There you will find a link foe the IRC chat room. Go there and tell them what you did. They maybe able to help you.
HTC Sensation 4g, on Bell (canada).
It has LeeDroid ICS v4.2.0
My phone will not turn on at all. At first I thought it was the common, dead battery, but its not. I have three batteries, and I even bought an external battery charger to isolate this issue. When I found that it wouldn't turn on, I had not tried to upgrade the firmware or anything for weeks, so a flashing issue is not it.
I cannot get into hboot, recovery, nothing. Nothing has ever shown on the screen since. I have tried for hours to get it into hboot by pressing the vol - and power buttons together, but nothing. I've tried doing it with different batteries, with and without my memory card, with a different memory card etc.
When I press the power button, or after I try to put it into hboot, it vibrates every 15 seconds or so, and this will not stop until either the battery runs out (gets very hot) or I take the battery out.
NOW, the odd thing is, is that I can sometimes get it connected to my computer, and the only thing that I can connect to the phone is fastboot. I cannot connect adb, and obviously htc sync won't work. I've tried everything to get adb working, but nothing works.
In conclusion, my phone is dead, and the only thing that works is command-line fastboot on my pc.
(I like to explain as much as I can in a main post so I get the best help possible) Also, please know that my phone worked perfectly (well as perfect as android gets) for WEEKS before this happened.
thanks guys!
Do you have a backup of any stage? If you can run fastboot you may still be able to save it. There is a thread for unbricking the sensation i'd start there and see if that helps. Can you boot to bootloader at all? If you can download an /RUU and extract the rom.zip, rename to PG58IMG.zip and put on the sdcard then power on using volume down and it will load the file just press power to flash it

Could I flash the rom.zip in fast boot? I do have backups, I will try my luck at one of those.
But I cannot get into any recovery or boot loader at all.
I'm going to try this at work, and will let you Know!
I tried flashing the recovery, and boot using a RUU that I found. I still am getting in fastboot, but thats all. I cannot get to HBoot or any type of recovery.
Ever Found a solution?
Hi, did you ever found a solution to this problem? Because I'm having the exact same one.

Sadly I didn't. I deemed it dead after trying a bagillion different things. I read somewhere that it may be a mobo issue, but to fix it, wasn't worth it when I had only a bit left on my contract. I upgraded to an iPhone 5 because android just wasn't for me.
So i recently got an atrix 2 that was preloaded with 4.0.4. I used a one click root method program to program it, and installed this recovery app, and tried to install mokee-rc4-july 14th on my phone. i managed to back up my data before hand but when i wiped the phone and installed the mokee all the phone kept doing was restarting. I have read about recovery mode but all I get when I press and hold the vol. down and power buttons is an oversimplified screen that looks like when I plug into the computer. The backup doesnt even freaking exist anymore on my sd card so I cant restore what was backed up.
AP fastboot flash mode (s)
0A.72
Battery LOW
Cannot Pogram
Connect USB
Data Cable
I did the wipe user data/cache, and ried to reboot but, it ether gets stuck on the red motorola boot screen or gets past that and the screen stays black and reboots over and over.. Please don't tell me I have to go through all that splicing cables n crap just to charge this battery. THERE is no way I CANNOT charge the battery? even with the phone off? How can I resolve this? this is an absolute nightmare. I'm not messing with this rooting/ custom rom stuff after this
You'll need to find a way to charge your battery. You can use someone else's phone or get an external charger of you don't want to do any wiring.
Brought to you but time and relative dimensions in space.

Hi,
You will have to find some other Atrix2 phone or some charger.
something like this one...
