BRICKED after deleting a file !!! HELP PLEASE...

Ok, so I had recently flashed MIUI sense based, I realized it wasn't for me so I restored my backup of TrickDroid 6.1. After doing this I went through and decided to delete some some stuff because my space was getting low (not 5mb low, more like maybe 1/2gb), I went to delete the MIUI v4 2.7.6 file and the phone appeared to go into standby... I tried to wake it up again with no luck. Plugging it into a charger does nothing, no red light; no green light. I'm unable to get into bootloader mode, no matter how long I hold down the "down volume + power" combo or any variation of it.
I need one of the gurus to help please !!!!

maybe post this in general or q&a?
any adb connection? if it's in standby then you may be able to move along to the next step
could just be a SOD (sleep of death)

Did u try hold the power? It'll reboot?then hold volume down about 10s.it should go to bootloader
2nd Option: use all-in-one tool kit.it has a command to reboot.
And don't post question or help here.read the rule.

Sorry about posting in this section, I assumed I'd get a quicker response.
I tried the All-In-One Kit thing... doesn't work "error: device not found"
I cannot get the phone to power on at all, no bootloader, no splash screen, nothing recognized by my pc. I get a "QHUSB_DLOAD NO DRIVER FOUND"
Thoughts?

If it can't boot or use adb command.i think u should contact with HTC for helps,or at least where u buy the mobile. And of couse u still have Warranty.
It may be a hardware problem.We here can only try if it is a software problem.at ur position,the device can't be recognized by Computer/Laptop (before this,it worked well right?),then i think bad luck.
Don't be despair, it'll have some way to solve.

Sorry to tell you man the same thing just happened to me. I just got a replacement from T-Mobile. You will not get that thing back on. Just call T-Mobile and tell them it won't power on nor will it charge. It's funny because I was adding music to mine when it happened. If it happened the same way mine did then you will notice it was really hot when it shut off. The MDJ kernel overheated the Processor and killed it. Once that happens the device is a useless brick. I'm trading my replacement for another phone because this phone happens to overheat a lot.

Thanks everyone for the help... At least I know what I have going on... Already started re-downloading a buttload of stuff to get back on track. I don't normally backup my Nandroids or my TB files to my PC, maybe I should start.
Going tomorrow to the Tmo store to get the replacement sent overnight.
Thanks again.

SGS 4g / don't get any calls / homebutton not working

Hey Guys!
So i have this problem for like a week now. I didn't do anything that could have done something bad to my phone, so neither do i know if i did something wrong. The problem is, that i don't get any calls. I tested it with my brother, he called me, but the mailbox is answering. The weird part is, that my phone automatically calls him back, and when he answers, there is some noise and then it hangs up. I am also a little worried, if my carrier charges every call, since my sim card is prepaid. One small problem i have, is that my home buttons isn't working either. My brother already flashed my phone one more time, but the problem's still there.
i have cyanogenmod 9 unofficial on my phone right now.
I hope somebody can help!

Display showing only colored dots

Since yesterday my HTC Sensation shows only a screen with colored dots - it seems to be some kind of physical problem, as removing the battery and rebooting does not help. Has anybody experienced such problems in the past or has a clue what's wrong with it?

Are u able to get into hboot?Recovery? Have you connected to PC and tried adb devices?Or tried to flash an ruu? Are you on stock or rooted rom.

I don't think so, actually I believe I've always been good to my phone. Can't even remember it falling down once and should also not have been in contact with water. That's why I'm posting here, I was mainly interested if anybody has seen such problems in the past (and especially if he/she knows a reason for them).
It practically happened all of a sudden - well, actually I had the problem already for two or three times about one month ago, but at that time only for a second, not reproducible (first even thought about a software problem). Now it suddenly changed to a constant problem.

Mine was actually repaired as warranty repair (they replaced mainboard/display).

Had they flashed your phone after fix?

Phone screen turns on randomly

Is there any reason why this would happen?

Another one here experiencing the same issue.
It didn't happen to my device until I upgraded to 4.0.4 Android and HTC Sense 4.1 (Spanish Orange network HTC One S version 2.38.75.4).
When it switch on while on a pocket it is very annoying as the phone "tries" to make an emergency call.

I was flashing the new Viper on my nieces phone and didn't quite get everything set up the way she likes it before she had to go home so I had to restore her nandroid of Viper ICS and now she is texting me telling me she is having this issue. Can anyone tell me if they ever had this issue and resolved it and if so i guess i might resolve it when i see her next weekend by reflashing the ROM? Or is it a serious issue or maybe one she can resolve? thanks for any info pertaining to this, my niece is quite picky and i am sure any of us crackflashers here know what it is like when you promise a woman the best for her phone then screw it up for her, never hear the end of it! lol. thanks for any help!

All i can really think of is that in the viper rom you have the option under tweaks to let the screen turn on when a message arrives. Mine used to do the same thing every once in a while but it was somehow connected to my data connectivity jumping all over the place so i re-flashed and wiped caches which did the trick.
Hope you get the problem resolved for your nieces sake!

I'm having the same issue with my Evo LTE

The same problem with SGS2 / ICS 4.0.3. Any idea how to fix that please ? It is VERY annoying, cuz it drains my battery !!!

If there are still people with this kind of issue,
I would recommend to check for "wakelock" usage.
As third-party apps can use "wakelock" to turn on the screen, there might be some buggy app which is using the feature improperly.
I had the same case before, turned out that "Naver Mail" app was using Screen wakelock to turn the screen on randomly.
As a solution, there is an app in Google Play called "Wakelock detector" which has a feature to show statistics of Screen wakelocks.
GooD luck

Random Screen On caused by faulty power adapter
I changed my power adapter for charging, and the problem went away immediately. I assume it was the result of either drawing too much power, or not enough to charge the phone. Anyway, there you go. Hope it helps! :silly:

[Q] Sidekick 4g Bootloop Please Help!!!

I am not rooted on this phone I am on stock 100% I have done nothing with this phone since purchased.. I did not try to install anything on this phone that could have caused this. But yesterday it just started on this bootloop. The screen just shows the T-mobile sidekick 4g logo then to black and over and over .... I have pulled the battery put it back in and it immediately bootloops. I don't even have to power on . It even bootloops with the charger plugged in the battery symbol bootloops. I tried to put the device into bootloader (pwr vol up/dwn) to do a factory reset. but the bootloader screen just flashes on for a second and then it goes right back into the bootloop.
It appears as if this is bricked but how is that possible on a stock device? I called t-mobile and they could not help. All they wanted to do is sell me a new phone.
Please help

Use heimdall n hold the volume buttons n enable flash bootlaoders

@karose465 How old is the phone? If less than a year (doubtful), it should still be under warranty. Or you may be eligible for upgrade pricing: Fore example, "Customers with a Classic plan (two-year contract) are eligible for our lowest upgrade price on a new phone when at least 22 months have passed since their last phone upgrade. A new two-year contract is required to take advantage of best upgrade pricing. Of course, you can always upgrade a phone at any time, regardless of how many months have passed since your contract began."
For more info on Heimdall, just Google Heimdall Android.

Anyone with a sidekick contract ends earliest next march..

I think for him and myself, the biggest problem is being unable to get the phone to stay in download mode. For some reason, the battery won't charge and the phone itself continously turns off and on when plugged in. So the charge isn't holding, therefore nothing will stay on/open.

Im having the same problem. I have searched everywere and cannot find an answer that will fix it. If anyone can please help us fix this issue.

my Sidekick 4G is very old and just now went into bootloop... i googled the word and came across this forum.
As quoted above by previous poster that a power button repair was needed... I figured that I had nothing to lose, it being so old, I smashed the crap out of the Sidekick 4G on its power button. Lo and Behold, it booted into the system successfully.
SO... if no one has any qualms about smashing the crap out of their power button... give it a shot. It worked for me.

Mines stuck in a boot loop too.
I don't know if my Sidekicks problem is related to this or not. I rooted it and flashed it over to Glorious Overdose v5 on May 22nd this year and it's been running great. At least it was until last Friday, Sep 13. I was having trouble connecting to the WiFi at my house so I rebooted the phone. When it started to come back up a female voice started saying, "VooDoo lagfix has been disabled." "Converting /data and /system partitions." "Conversion time estimated 10 minutes."
I let it do it's thing and that's all it's been doing all weekend. I can get into recovery mode, I've tried restoring the phone from my backup with no success. I've even tried running through the process of setting up GOv5 again and it says it's successful, but the phone never boots up. It just stays in the same blasted bootloop and saying the same things over and over again about VooDoo. I've checked the VooDoo logs and there is an error file for the 13th and the logs following say "conversion." Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I can do to get my phone working again? Everything I've tried to research so far hasn't worked.

v5 hold both volume button, the track button and power button. Should put you into recovery mode. If not, you will have to put phone into download mode. You do this by taking out battery, then pluging into computer. When you reinsert battery hold volume down and power, if I remember correctly, and your download screen should come up. From your cp manually unroot it. Then it should be fixed, and just reroot it. I hope this was helpful

Hey, MythEdge. I'm not sure if you get notifications here or anything, but I registered to this site specifically to thank you; my phone ( Sidekick 4G, like OP ) bricked, and I smashed it against the table a few times ( you know, delicately... ) and it resurrected.
So thank you, sir; you were precisely correct. It worked on both of my phones, which had the exact same problem.
Just, wow. Thank you.

And almost a year later I log in and see this. Your most welcome. I haven't been working on phones for awhile but if I remember right, some models can be powered on by plugging the phone into a power source and when the phone vibrates or has a sign of life unplugging the unit. Some cables don't work and sometimes doing this via a computer can power up a device. Other than that, the other more dangerous way is to short out the pins on the bottom of the unit. I don't remember the pins but you can google a charge port diagram to help. I don't recommend doing this unless you have absolutely no other choice. Incidentally, this is why a phone will power itself on when a battery is put in and no other button is touched. The port is wet and corrosion has caused a link on the power pin and believe its pin 3. A simple cleaning with 90%+ rubbing alcohol solution will fix if cleaned quick enough.
