when i was on runny v1.1 rom,i tried to flash unity v4 kernel,and it's very unstable,i had no other choice but to reflash the rom to get the kernel back.
the rom has wipe code in it's updater script...
the device hanged at "formatting nand with ext4 alignment" for like half an hour,...
having read the danger of pulling battery...i decided to gold the volume buttons and power button...the phone then rebooted and vibrate for 7 times...what can i do?i tried adb,but the computer cannot detect the device/...
If you don't want to pull the battery leave it run flat and then pull it. Charge it while the phone is off and then see if you can boot into hboot. If you can get to hboot then no you almost certainly haven't bricked your phone.
have you tried holding down the volume down button then holding down power at the same time? this should take you to the bootloader. from there you can go to recovery and format system, data and cache then install a previous backup or a new rom
i used the button method to reboot...and after that it rebooted and vibrates for 7 times...when i pulled my battery,and i tried to open it with volume down and power button held,all it does is just vibrates for 7 times again..

can you get your pc to connect to it? does charging light light up?
if not try connecting wall charger and see if it will charge?

no to both questions...
how much charge was in the battery before this happened?
the only thing i can think to try now is a new battery. im getting out of my depth a little now...
After powering it on have you tried to see if adb recognises the phone and if it does does it respond to commands?
You'll find adb&fastboot within my sig, alongwith some HTC drivers download and install both onto your PC (assumong that you don't already have them). then plug the phone into PC by USB. Run a CMD, go to the directory where you extracted adb files and try
Code:
[B]adb devices [/B] [COLOR="Green"]-- [I]just to see if it recognises [/I]device?
[/COLOR]If it does then try :
Code:
[B]adb reboot recovery[/B]
[I]if no response then try[/I]
[B]adb reboot-bootloader[/B]
report back and good luck
it was like around 90%...
it cannot detect the phone...
O dear!

It's look like a visit to the local HTC service centre is next step, based on the complete lack of reponse from your phone. Although I'd obviously never advise any one to tell lies , it's probably not a good idea to meantion S-OFF etc when returning the phone and you'll most probably get a replacement unit or at least a new motherboard!
I have just flashed my Desire S with Bindroid ROM after EXT4 Wipe. Now phone only shows HTC screen, Now Im very carefull about emmc issue...its neary 30 minute as it is hanging. I have read all the threads and in this situation
1) I can not pull my battery coz it fires my emmc
2) Pressing Power+vol down is not working, power+vol up+vol down is not working
3) Connected phone to pc and ADB is not reconizing my phone
Now what should i do?
Hope that this will

For a start don't panic (just yet)
[Questons]
Do you have a safe Nandroid Backup that you can restore to?
You obviously have a custom RECOVERY (which one?)
Do you know which eMMC card you have?
Options Left
[1]
Pull Battery (which is risky - if you do - then pull evenly and quickly and do not re-insert for over 10 seconds)
Assuming that you have a Nandroid Backup then:
[2]
Let battery completely run out until phone shuts down on it's own.
plug into power supply for a hour or so (until battery full (green light)
Restart and force entry to bootloader (volume down + power)
Restore safe point backup from RECOVERY
Reboot
If you have no backup
[3]
Download another (safe) Custom ROM and place on SD card
Let battery completely run out until phone shuts down on it's own.
plug into power supply for a hour or so (until battery full (green light)
Restart and force entry to bootloader (volume down + power)
Ensure- that you manually WIPE SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, , DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM
flash new ROM
Reboot
If you don't know which eMMC chip that you have, then once you device is booted you should run the following commands from you PC to find out (you don't want these results, which is what I have) as this is run that fails:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools>adb shell
# cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
[B][COLOR="Red"]M4G2DE[/COLOR][/B]
#
I'll be online this morning, so will be able to assist......
- Did you activate "USB debugging" mode in the menu Settings-Applications-Development?
If NOT so you can not connect by the ADB command.
- Did you press and hold down VOL UP and VOL DOWN first, and then press Power button?
If none of the above method is working, the only option for you is pulling the battery out. Remember to not re-insert so quickly.
Thanks, My chip M4G2DE or like that Coz forgot. I am sure it is the faulty one. Anyway problem its solved, thanks again

How did you solve it? Reboot by ADB? by Vol up/Vol down/Power combination or pulling out the battery?
Yes, how did you solve it? So that people will know what to do when they're in this situation. Thanks!
Probably adb reboot recovery command thru terminal.

First of all I think my Emmc may be good one or I'm lucky for that being labeled as M4G2DE. I had already nandroid backup in my sd card.
A) I waited and waited till battery was completely zero.
B) after phone turned off, waited for 2 minute.
c) connected phone to the charger and charged for 1 hour
d) opened recovery by pressing vol down first, then pressed power and released power and after getting hboot screen, released vol down.
e) went to clockwork mod and restored nandroid.
You downloaded the wrong Rom, according to your post in the other thread.
You want a ROM for the DS, not DHD

Tks for your explaining, however I didn't ask for restoring procedure to stock backup.
As you've said in your 1st post, your DS has hang on the HTC screen. How did you do to bypass this issue and recharge your phone? Wait until the battery completely discharged itself?

This is not a good idea, because the risk is the same as you pull out the battery. And this will also affect the battery lifetime (because of completely discharge).
I went out partying last night, woke up to a crack on my nexus 5 and wouldnt turn on but the led would flash red. I figured it lost its charge. Charge the phone for few hours, phone would turn on and off right away as if it still were not charged. It would than shut off but restart to a screen that said Firmware Update- Please wait while it installs- B100. Nothing would install, it would stay at 0%. So I held the power button and now, it only turns on to the google sign and keeps looping from there. I tried to turn it on in recovery mode but that doesnt work either. My phone was never rooted, bootloader never unlocked and I never put it in debugging. I dont know what to do!
so the ol' 3-button combo doesn't get you to the bootloader?
Yes, it does. Forgot to mention that.

I don't know what you did, but your phone is not bricked. Hope you have a recent backup. If you can get into the bootloader I'd try a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work then you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and try to flash the factory image. None of this may work as idk what you did to your phone, but this is what I'd do.
Is flashing a factory image/unlocking bootloader possible even tho I can't get into the settings menu to turn on debugging option?

Alright, here. The catch-all solution: flash the factory image as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701.
Just remember to cd to your adb directory, I made that mistake and almost fainted because I thought my device was totally broken when fastboot devices listed nothing.

If that's the case it sounds like you may have knocked something loose internally when whatever happened that caused the damage to your screen. Possibly a solder point or a cable coming loose.
Opened up the back cover, looks like condensation.....ill leave it alone for a few days and try again.

Did u do another factory reset after last flash as this may need doing on some phones from what I've watched on good old YouTube...Good luck..
^Why would he factory reset when the phone is wet? You'll short circuit it that way..
The only method of a factory reset I've read about was turning on in Recovery, waiting for the little android, and holding Vol + and Power. Thing is my phone would never get to the little android, just loop on the GOOGLE introduction. Is there another method to factory reset?

Turn your phone off. Then hold power + vol down. It should boot into the boot loader. You'll see a "start" Then use the vol rocker to toggle to recovery. Once there push the power button. You should be in recovery. Then use the vol rocker to toggle to factory reset. Then use power to select it.

Try
fastboot reboot recovery
Edit, sorry that's not going to work. Find the stock recovery image. Then try
fastboot boot recovery.img
So I was able to boot in recovery and factory reset, although the problem still persists. I will try and flash all images tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Happy holidays!

I assume battery drain has turned it off for you by now. In the future, pressing the power button and volume up at the same time should help.

Just copy the rom and gapps to the sdcard and simply flash them from the recovery. Or if you want to update the revovery, you can also put it in the sdcard and flash it before you flash the rom. Wipe cache lastly

Gee so sorry. I thought you have custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Apparently you still have stock recovery there. So i guess you need to download the stock image for your Xoom and, yes you are correct, flash them from fastboot then. Long long time ago, i ever did this but i dont really remember all things. But all i know is that I followed steps from here http://androidforums.com/xoom-all-things-root/653230-return-your-xoom-stock.html.

Your advice was definitely the solution, but I did not get to do anything because my Xoom is stuck in black screen and cannot power it on
I do not know the cause. It's incredible what happens !
Suddenly started to reboot itself, then stopped completely. It was only connected to the original charger and USB, ready for install drivers and flash.
The power led is ok (white and green, after few minutes) I removed the battery, the voltage is correct, and nothing ...
Do you have any idea?

No, before, when my tablet was with my initial problem (Won't turn OFF and stuck on M logo).

With Original Motorola Wall Charger SPN5632B, no long time because my tablet was almost always connected to the charger.
The battery has 8 volts and charger 12 volts.
If I disconnect the charger and hook it back, the white light stay bright about 10 minutes, then turns green.

From what I remember, last days when charging, the Xoom jacks area was warm, now is cold. Maybe it is normal to be cold if the tablet is fully charged now, I don`t know exactly if this is a good indication for helping me...

Green light indicates that the battery is full. Your case is not an ordinary one though. What happens if you press volume up+power button? Does it even boot? At least to the fastboot?
Anyway, previously you said that you removed the battery. Did you tear up your Xoom?

If i remember correctly you can wipe cache from the stock recovery. Boot into hboot by holding down volume down and power. Use the volume buttons to highlight recovery and press power. Then you will see a little android or a red exclamation in a triangle. Press the volume buttons and power until options appear on the screen. If it gives you wipe cache, them wipe it. Other wipe options may/will remove your personal data so use caution and know the risks

Okay, remove your battery then replace after 10 seconds. Then hold volume down first, then while volume down is still depressed begin holding power as well. If you see the htc splash screen then it has failed. Battery pull and try again. Have you ever used adb on this device?
