First of all try reflashing recovery (you know fastboot flash recovery), in that way you will be able to access recovery again then try to install your favorite rom, please make sure on is for your phone model and if it comes with a radio also make sure that it's compatible with yours

You need to have the fastboot drivers installed on your computer.

Did I brick my phone...?

Okay, so I was on Sense 3, unrooted. I tried to root, but it had to downgrade me to GB. That went okay. Here's the issue.
After going through the whole root process with Gingerbread, Command Prompt said that root was successful(Not those exact words, but I remember myself thinking, "YES!"). Then, when it booted into the HTC screen, it faded away slowly and now it's a dim black screen. Nothing but that. Can I get some help from anyone?

Boot into hboot, volume down plus power button.

I can't do it. I press the V- and Power and hold and nothing ever comes up. All that's on the phone is the Orange charging LED. I'm pretty sure it's off now.

Does the phone boot into the rom as usual? If it does, search for fastbook and uncheck it. It's either under development settings or battery or one of those.
Edit: I just went through your posts. Buddy, just read the whole guide I sent you. Try to familiarize yourself with it and you will be fine.

Well it goes to the screen that says HBOOT in blue. On top it says "ACE PUT SHIP S-OFF RL" then some other stuff. If I do Reboot or Recovery, it goes to the same dim lighted screen. Should I do a Factory Reset then just try to root again?

Nope, cause you are already rooted. If you run the hack kit again, chances are you will mess something up. That is what the s-off means.
Why it goes to the dim screen, no idea. Read the effen manual, find out what is going on. This part is serious, read the effen manual. If you don't find the solution there, then go to the irc channel and ask for help. Be patient. If you requesting for help for something that is covered in the manual, you will be ignored and kicked from the channel. So read the effen manual.
That is, if the problem started after running the hack kit. If not, well, take a different route.

I can 100% confirm that the HK said "Attained root, s-off, and installed Clockworkmod" It's just after that that things got messed up. When I tried to turn it on normally this morning, the orange LED started flashing and it viberated 3 times. Nothing else except the flashing LED. I understand that if I had bricked it, the ugly Red ! triangle would come up, right?

Come on, I know SOMEONE can help! Please, people? I want to try to have it running AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, rooted or not. Is it harmful that I've rooted it before, then unrooted it? I unrooted less than a month ago, in case it matters. I wanted to use Blackout ICS, so I wanted to root it again.

Can you use adb from the blacked out screen. What happens when you plug it in to your computer after turning it on, does the pc at least recognize it. If so you can use adb to reboot it into recovery. Once there install a Rom. Seems you have no boot IMG at the moment which would be causing your problem.

Have you tried pulling the battery for a few seconds too and then booting into hboot. It's probably a good idea to get into hboot first to confirm you have s off. Adb can be used to boot into bootloader as well.

Yes, I do have S-Off, the HBOOT screen says so, and so did Command Prompt. How do I get into ADB? I already have my preferred ROM on my memory card.

We need to see if adb can even recognize your phone. Use this guide to get adb running on pc. Boot phone as normal and let it go to black screen then plug into pc. From there type "adb devices" and it should list a device. From there type "adb reboot recovery". If you still can't get to recovery but device is recognized flash recovery again from aahk options menu from same black screen. And try the adb recovery command again. If you get to recovery report back as there is a trick to flashing blackout that I'll fill you in on so you dont end up back where you are. Aroma installer in blackout can cause issues if not done properly.

It went into the HTC screen (not Quietly Brilliant), then did the same thing The touch buttons are lit now, what does that mean? Should I wait a bit? And I just checked, Blackout isn't on my SD card!! I SWEAR I put it in. It's not too late, is it?

Okay, I'm trying to reflash recovery, but where do I go to after Options?
Never mind, I was so nervous I didn't read it its currently flashing.
Update: It STARTED, but then it said Device not found, waiting for device. What now?? The ADB recognized it, and so did the hack kit at first.

You could try flashing recovery by this alternate method in this thread. You could also try and installing a rom via PD98IMG which is also covered is this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20382502
Once back to stock by Rom method you could just reflash recovery and then a Rom.

Before I read this, I tried flashing it again through AAHK again. It SEEMED like it finished. It said a bunch of things on cmd, then returned to the Main Menu without telling me it flashed. Then I pressed SOME kind of combo with the V & Power, and it came up to a screen that I didn't have much time to look at. It looked KIND OF the same as CWM, but I'm pretty sure I read the words Ace Hack Kit. What is that?
Another update: It was CWM, but the screen was flashing so I didn't know what to do. I know how to navigate around it(I was rooted a few months back), but I didn't have time do much before it completely exited and went to the usual.

need bootloader.bin for my g2x

so i bricked my g2x it died while flashing to cm7 so i have no lg logo no s/w update screen no recovery ...but did some seaching and tried nvflash it hangs on waiting for boot loader to initialize been trying for hours no success but it reads n apx mode and nv flash recognizes it i have another lg g2x logic board that has water damage to it but still manages to turn on for a bout 15 20 mins then shuts off so i was wondering could i use adb or nvflash command to copy the bootloader.bin file from one logic board to my computer then to the bricked one but if som body could assit me that would be awsome of upload a bootloader.bin

Try the rom for recovery method in development section, should get it back to working.

Phone doesnt need to be on/booted. Install the apx drivers, take out battery, hold down both volume down/up buttons, plug usb cord into pc/g2x then run the batch file from rom for recovery. This phone is 99.99% unbrickable!

[S3]cant install cwm recovery

hi. unlock went great but installation of cwm - tried both ones - touch and normal - didnt work. followed the procedure exactly as explained in the thread. what can i do to root my phone?
thanks

Download GooManager from the Play Store. Then inside the GooManager App go under Settings -> Install OpenRecoveryScript and Download the file given. Then you can reboot into Recovery and you get the same as CWM.

Seems like I have to root first. How do I do that without recovery? Torxx guide says recovery first and only after that root. I am not a Rom flashing noon (had about 10 customs Rom on SGS) but I can't figure this HTC one s s3 thing out... It beats me. Can you please help me do this? Bootloader is already unlocked, that was the easy part
Thanks

still no luck. when i try to enter bootloader by pressing pwr btn + vol dn +vol up it doesnt work. when i press just pwr and vol down it enters fastboot. if i click fastboot, then i get a bootloader option, but when i click it it goes back to fastboot. fastboot is disabled in power options. this is really starting to annoy me..... think i will sell the damn phone and go back to samsung ((((((

Have you unlocked the bootloader? (check in the bootloader if it's saying unlocked)
If no, you have to do the whole unlocking process again.
If yes, reboot into bootloader (power down your phone. Press power button and volume down button). Go into fastboot. Plug your device into usb and start install-superboot-windows.bat.

I did that. It was the only solution left. It worked. Thank you again for taking the time to assist me

Did you try the r2 of cwm? I don't think I can post links yet' but modaco had a post for rooting that I used and I had to use the r2 and then it worked. I would google something to the effect of "inurl:modaco root HTC one s" or when I get a chance I'll pm you a link.
Because the cramp just won't go away!

Thanks a lot, my problem was solved. I think I used an older version of that recovery, but at least it worked. From what I read around here the r2 you are talking about is an upgrade, isn't it? Is it somehow better than r1?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Nope this thread tells you to only use r2.

[Q] Samsung Skyrocket help

I recently flashed jelly bean 4.1.2 (not the latest but whatever) and when charging it yesterday, it gave a message saying the battery is hot and i checked to see if it was hot and it wasnt. i booted up my phone and it didnt boot up past the samsung logo and cant get it to recovery mode at all. I know there are threads on this but i guess i could start a recent one.

Now is when you're going to have to do some reading. You will need to odin the stock firmware. Go to the development forum and look for the stickies by vincom. They're you'll find one that will tell you how to return to stock. That's a good thing, because you should never flash if you don't know Odin.

Were you able to get into download mode and connect to Odin and did Odin recognize your phone? You do know how to use Odin?
Were you able to access recovery as suggested by using the power button and volume button combination and maybe restore your back up? You did do a backup before starting?
I don't remember where it is but their are well written steps on how to do both. As someone else suggested read and research. As someone suggested to me "Don't trying to flash custom ROMs until you know how to use Odin to be able to get out of trouble."

Still, after all this time with the device and people don't know you don't have to hold the keys that long. Device off--->hold power and both volumes until you see the Samsung screen... You can then let go of everything.

For what its worth when I have a problem I can't find the answer to I Odin back to stock when phone settles I do a factory reset to remove everything on phone. If it reboots okay I start loading everything back into it.
If I run into problems I go into download and Odin back to stock and start over. Sometimes it takes me more than one attempt.
I'm sure their is a better way but I'm no expert. For the most part going back to stock has been the answer then go from their. Hope your phone is not hosed. Good luck.

You don't have to go into recovery to do a factory reset you can go into settings.
A hardware problem is something that will have to be answered by someone way smarter than I.
I use CWM recovery and when I first started flashing I installed it using Odin.
Sorry I have run out of ideas Good luck.
Edit : just throwing this out their you could try replacing the SD Card.
