[Q] bricked htc inspire frozen on htc boot up and cant get to fastboot

hello.. i have looked for the answer to my question but i cant seem to find it, therefore i created this post.. sorry if i posted in the wrong section or if it is already out there.. i hope mr clown doesnt close my thread.
i rooted my phone doing it with the one click tool, and it worked perfectly fine.. the problem started when i tried to install a custom rom on it.. i installed rom manager and cwm fine.. but the problem is that i was following this instructions..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=11557769
which i read i had to get this rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
the problem is that i didnt realize that i needed eng s off and i had s off wich therefore i wasnt able to see the cwm screen..
following the steps that told me to wipe the data with the wipedat.zip.. i did it through rom manager.. when the phone rebooted it went to a dark screen slowly so i took the battery out, and now is frozen in the htc logo... i have tried the up/down/power combo but the phone vibrates 3-4 times and then it goes to a black screen with the light on... but i dont get anything else.. so im really stock at either htc screen or black screen... i need help!!! i hope some one nows a good way for me to fix this.

have you tried...
adb restart fastboot
or adb restart recovery or whichever it is
someone more familiur with adb can explain alil more on this

Download the stock ruu exe and run that from your computer.
Sent from me using this thing.

Try running adb reboot bootloader but first off run adb kill-server then adb devices to see if it is picking up your phone. If that doesnt work download the stock ruu and run it, hopefully all goes well with either method.

Just FYI - this was taken care of over in the General Forum.
Haven't heard from him since, but he was able to get into hboot.

Hey man i had a problem like that i used ace hack kit v9...Just do everything over again and it will work..

This is in the wrong section. Questions should be posted in the general section.
Its not volume up/down/power. Its just volume down + power. What is sounds like you did was restart your phone while it was trying to flash the rom. You should be able to get to the hboot menu just by holding power and volume down to power up the phone and wait till hboot shows up.

This will be probably the best answer I got.
1. Turn your phone off
2. Take out the battery and insert it back it
3. Don't turn your phone on
4. Plug in your USB cord,connected to your computer
5. Your phone will Automatically Boot up
6. You will be in the ClockWork Recovery
7. There will be many options
8. Select "BACK UP AND RESTORE"
9. Restore EVERYTHING.
10. youre phone will start normally, but it will be really LAGGY
11. Then ROOT your phone again to make it normal.
What has happened to yours has happened to mine. This is the way I fixed mine.

Hey all ... Interesting problem with a frnds phone.. hope someone here can help unbrick the phone...
Okie.. soo..
1. DesireS ... no idea what radio/hboot/rom version.. but it was rooted earlier. Thats all the info i have.
2. Keeps rebooting when started on HTC logo, reboot after 3 seconds max.
3. Does not show up on Device manager on windows, even briefly. Cannot enter Hboot or Recovery .. phone just reboots.
Since its not detected, so i cant test even adb devices etc....

May o suggest something...? I have been through a similar situation before and managed to recover by following these steps. :-
Switch your phone off completely. Do not attempt to restart it.
Now connect it with USB cable to your pc. I'm assuming you have htc usb drivers previously installed.
Fire up the cmd window and change directory to where you've kept your adb files.
Now type adb devices
If your device is listed, type adb reboot recovery.
This shoud take you into the recovery menu. From there you can restore a nandroid backup or do a full wipe and install a new rom from sd card.
Do let me know if this works.

Nope.. no device detected :/ ... Actually, the funny thing is that the phone starts up automtically when the usb is connected .. although all it shud do is just charge up .. :| .. like its in some sort of hung up mode and expects a usb :/ .. even if its connected to a power socket :S
Ive tried no sdcard, no sim, and etc etc .. but no luck :/
But i tried everything, but no device detected by adb or windows... (btw, imho the device shud only be detected if its a sort of hibernate mode no? coz a power shutdown means its completely shut down.. or does the device stay in a sort of inactive bootloader state when usb is connected? )
So .... im still open to ideas !

You've probably tried this, but.....
I find it impossible to get into bootloader using this method:
power off, hold volume down, press power on, enter bootloader.
I find invariably the phone just boots up as normal.
The best way I've found is this:
hold power button whilst phone is on, select restart, wait until backlight goes off then immediately press volume down.
Phone should restart in bootloader menu.
Like I said, you've prob tried this but it works for me.
Peace

Just realised this is prob useless to you as its actually stuck in a boot loop. Sorry.

Did you have Fast Boot enabled in Settings -> Power? That's likely your problem not being able to get into the bootloader.

Can you switch off completely...?
This is really important.
If you can switch off completely you need to remove the battery after the device is off.
Then wait for one minute and reinsert the battery.
Do not switch it on. Just connect usb to your pc. I'm assuming of course that you had enabled usb debugging on your device...
If you can't power it off then wait for the battery to discharge over time. Do not charge the phone while that is happening.
Then once it powers off remove the battery and follow instructions as written above.
After connecting to pc fire up cmd terminal and do tyw adb commands that I have written in the prwvios post.
Let me know if that helps.
Are you sure your phone can be switched off completely...?
Because in a bootloop you can't switch off the phone normally so either you need to pull battery Which I Do Not recommend, or wait for the battery to discharge itself over time.
Do keep us posted regarding further development in your case.

Read this. This was my experience when faced with an unresponsive phone.

Oh yeah... read that already ... thats what raised my hopes after u informed abt the adb reboot method
-------------
Ok.. so new update:
I drained the battery ... and tried the method.. but no device detected. In order to test various possibilities, i tried the same on my Galaxy S2.. and no device detected. Now this got me stumped.. but once i enabled "USB debugging"... adb detected device, and all was fine on my S2.
So the new conclusion is: my frnds DesireS does not have USB Debugging enabled :/
Sooo...... now the question to everyone out there is: Is there any possbie method to get USB debugging feature enabled "without" going into the rom?? Because im guessing that if i can get usb debugging.. @enigmaamit's idea will work!
So... TIL: Enable USB Debugging when playing around with your android .. or u can get screwed lol ... (redditors will understand what i mean )

Dont lose hope

Dont lose hope yet.
Let the phone discharge itself completely. Now remove battery, wait for a minute and then reinsert battery. Connect to wall charger.
Tell me what happens after your battery has completely discharged and you connect it to the charger (main charger, not pc, since we know that doesnt work anymore). Does the charging led start blinking orange...?
If so wait till the blinking stops and the LED is lit up steadily.
Then hold down volume - button and power button together to get into the bootloader screen from where you can get into recovery and restore a backup or flash a new ROM.
Make sure you read the entire thread whose link i posted in my previous post. Its also on the last line of my signature.

I had a similar situation (HTC logo, no debbuging ON) and I managed it with fastboot command. See this. But I had the access to the bootloader. But you can try

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:

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.

Try this:
1. Enable sound on your pc
2. Turn off you phone remove sd/sim card.
3. Connect your phone while pressing volume up with the Pc (I guess u have lg Drivers installed)
4. Wait and see if you hear sth (like 3 or more sounds) or if you phone enter in S/W mode.
5. reply again

No sounds......But it enters S/W mode....but nothing happens.......what should i do?

Im also worried that the battery will die....will it be charged while in S/W mode?

Go to device manager while in S/W mode and connect the usb cable.
See if anything pops up and reply.
I think it will show you LG Cosmo driver that is not installed but lets see.

All drivers was installed inclusive LG Cosmo Driver....i saw it......But when in device manager with S/W mode on i cant see the COSMO Driver name......
Should i be worried about battery dying? How can i know its charging when the phone is off?

You gotta format your internal memory from within the ROM. Boot your device then Go to settings/storage/format internal sd. It should be okay. If you can't find the settings try pressing menu button while in the homescreen. In the menu press settings and it should run.

Try to flash another gingerbread Kernel. If you cant enter recovery, but you can enter fastboot mode then try: fastboot flash (Drag and Drop the boot.img to shell) and press enter.

Turn off your phone then turn on your phone while holding 3D button and vulume up or down ( not sure which one ) and power button as son as the screen turns on free all of them then you should see the android icon wait till you enter the recovery mode there format every thing.
I hope this will work
And it would do the trick

Galaxy S6 Clone

I've got a problem. Found the firmware for s6 clone..tried to put it with adb..i got to 84% of sending from adb to phone....and stopped..the phone just has the image of the dead android with the ! and says No command..i cant turn it off or reboot it...i cant do anything. Tried all methods,every button and nothing.
If i try to connect it with USB and adb it sayd devices offline and wont take orders..i dont know how to turn it off now. Except pulling out the battery, are there any other methods?..it's been on No Command screen for 3 h already..

Because it's a clone not sure if it'll work or if many people will help you. Try turning your phone off by holding all buttons for ten seconds

Eventually it closed itself ..now i got back there to instal via adb..but it wont recognize the device cuz i forgot to install the usb driver..now if i press Power it keeps showing the message and going away..so it's not frozen anymore, but i cant get out of it ..i guess i have to wait again for battery to discharge >_>

dude.... clone smartphones are very bad don't buy them...never ! the original ones are full of lag and problems ...buying clones you wouldnt sleep good after that

Dont worry, it's not mine. Someone brought it to me to flash it because it was broken..the android worked but was full of apps that i couldnt delete. Finally i managed to make it work, flashed with SP Flash tool. Now it works,everything is fine. Thx for the reply everyone xD
