I connected phone to the charger and led turned on, I tred the same configuration - nothing happend. I discconnect phone - led is still on and phone is not responding.
I downloaded latest android sdk tools, latest htc drivers, installed, connected phone to computer, run sdk tool and type adb reboot recovery - error device not found.
When I connect phone to computer it found Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, I try to install soft automaticly but comp find nothing.
Wha else I can do? I don't want pull battery. I have never done it.

Don't panic brother. I've been in a similar situation many times. Whatever you do... DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY till the phone is switched off!!
Just disconnect the phone from the laptop or wall socket (remove the usb cable from the phone) and leave the phone. Don't sit and stare at it, and don't try to reason it into rebooting. Also, stop pestering God...he doesn't do phones. (I think) Just relax, and go watch T.V. or something.
One out of two things may happen :
1. It may reboot on it's own. Has happened to me... Sometimes it happes in 5 mins, sometimes in 20, and sometimes, never.
2. The battery will eventually run out of charge and your phone will switch off by itself. Now remove the battery, reinsert after 2 mins and boot up into recovery. From here, you can restore your previous nandroid backup.
P.S. If you do not have a nandroid backup, just reflash the ROM after a full format ("format all partitions, except sdcard" option in recovery). Note that if you have unlocked using HTC site, this will not work until you manually flash boot.img (you can find it in the ROM (Reaper_v1.2.zip) file) from fastboot.
Let me know what happens.

Now I' still waiting, without phone touching. Led is ON (orange colour). Phone is disconected (and me too ). Battery level was 13% before this insydent.
When LED will turn off (I don't know when) I'll reinsert battery and let you know what's up.
I hope, I did't bricked it...

Don't worry. I am virtually a 100% sure you have NOT bricked it.
Just don't panic and let the phone switch off first.
BTW, you didn't say if you unlocked your bootloader with HTC Dev site or Revolutionary?
Do you have a Nandroid backup of your previous ROM ?
How new are you to all this (flashing etc)?
Is this the first custom ROM you have flashed on this device?

My phone was s-off by xtc clip (I did't use revolutionary), boot loader was unlocked on HTC Dev site.
I flashed at first CMW recover, than 4EXT Touch recovery and used it.
I tried a lot of roms, virtuous, endymnion, runny. The best for the beast was CM7.1, nightly. I flashed it month ago and updated succefully. Two days ago I decided to try REAPER. I wiped cache and dalvik's, than flashed reaper v 1.1. Today I updated it to 1.2 version (the same way as always) and I had a problem with dialer, so I wiped everything. Format all ex. sd card was done and I flashed reaper 1.2. I confogured it, just I like (set a new gov reaper, freq 118 (I don't remember) low and 1074 high) and thats it. I tried laucher, sms, phone and thats all.

Well in that case, don't worry your phone is safe. Just wait for it to switch off. Then after booting into recovery, just restore the last working ROM backup that you have. Don't flash the Reaper 1.2 that you downloaded till you have confirmed that the md5 checksum matches the one posted by Lowveld.

Hmm. Strange.
Phone turned off - LED was off, so I pulled battery, wait 2-5 minutes (without battery) and tried to turn it on. I saw a black screen. I press vol up/down power buttons, phone vibrated 3 times (quick) and I saw a green LED. I tried turn it on (with vol down button and without it) - nothing. I waited a while then a Led turned off.
I pluged device to the charger - orange led started blinking, so I tried to on phone - nothing. I restarted it (3 buttons) - it vibrated 3 times quickly and the same story from my first post.
Phone is unplugged, orange led is on (not blinking) and no react.
Any ideas??

Can you still boot to recovery?

Well, the blinking signifies inadequate charge for a bootup. Wait till the orange LED stopsa blinking and turns on constantly... then boot into bootloader (Voulme up and Power button - don't let go of the volume button even after releasing the power button) - I don't want you to restart by using three button combo...otherwise you'll be back to the same problem, trying to boot into a broken OS... Just disconnect again and wait for it to switch off.... then reinsert battery, connect to charger, then wait for the LED blinking to stop. Have a little patience! and DON"T RESTART with three button combo. Just boot into bootloader with Voulme up + Power key.
You have to follow these instructions carefully, exactly as i have written. Report back what happens.

I did it exactly like you've written. Waited till phone, switch off, connected it and charged till led stopped blinking, disconnect, and try to boot it into recovery (vol up + power). Phone wibrated 3 times (screen did't react) and the same story. Now waiting for discharging and I'll try again.
Anyway thanks for your help and interest.
What else I can do? If the phone is not responding I can send it to warranty service. Meybe they will honour it... If not...ehss very expensive play.

Well, it that's not workin, Wait till the phone switches off again. Then configure adb, make sure it detects your device (use the command: adb devices) and then type the following at the cmd prompt :
adb reboot recovery
This should take you to recovery.

Ok, what can I say? Youe last thread worked!! I restared device, connect to computer - it was found as usb disk. In sdk tool divece was also found, this time as my ds Just restarted a recovery. First I saw an error in 4ext recovery, but it started with orange letters. I wiped all, formated all, recover old system, restart phone. And it works! Now I flshesd last jorgens CM7 and starting to config my phone. But a heart attack was close... Thanks man

You're welcome brother! And Congratulations!!
I know what you must have gone through till you reclaimed your phone. I remember the first time i was in a situation like yours... had to figure out this discharge the phone, LED blinking etc... thing on my own..., everyone else said battery pull was my only option. But i sitll didn't do it. I had around 60% battery remaining before this happened, so you can only imagine how many sleepless hours i spent waiting for the damn battery to run dry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271360
The important thing is to resist the temptation of pulling battery. Everything can be salvaged if you don't do that, but once you fry your eMMC, there is nothing anyone can do without physically repairing the phone.
May I suggest you edit the topic your OP and add the word [SOLVED] to the title. This will ensure anyone in trouble can easily locate this thread out of the cacophony on xda!

Give this a try. With the phone charged take the battery out press volume up and power button then insert the battery. If that does not work take batter out press the volume up and power button again but this time insert the charger and battery while holding. If you succeed with any of this two methods install a different kernel original on if possible.

"This Solution is only for Galaxy nexus s i9023"
Note:- First of all you need to know that you will never have back light or any animation in your phone
after wrong flash.
1. Put your phone in to Download Mode using jig or by holding Volume Up and Volume Down, and then clicking the Power
2. Just Flash PDA,BOOT,CSC Using Z3X BOX If All ok then..........
3. Flash PDA and Modem using ODIN
4. Enjoy.

Thank you.

That happened to me after flashing the wrong Matrix kernel. I accidentally flashed the stock version of the kernel and all i got was a black screen. You should be able to boot into bootloader with Volume Up and Power. The re-flash the cm version of the kernel.

Pretty Sure I Bricked My J

I think i pooched this piece of junk Xperia J.
I'm running 11.2.A.0.21 with a locked bootloader
I finally rooted it, but now i'm trying to get a CWM going.
I read somewhere that when you see the SONY logo, press up and down repeatedly until you get into CWM recovery.
I did get somewhere, the screen went pink and jagged with random pixels and lines everywhere, and the CWM logo is bright green
I could see the CWM text lines, (everything still pink) and i managed to scroll down a line before it shows three battery icons at the bottom.
The phone wouldn't turn on, or do anything, so i pulled the battery for 10 seconds.
I can take a video or take some pictures of the pink CWM of death if you want to see
Sooo now, the phone won't turn on or boot into the stock rom i have.
I plug it into my computer, the green light comes on, and my computer makes the "connection" sound.
If i hold the power button, the SONY logo comes up, then the battery icon, and it continues charging with the green light on
If i unplug it, then hold power, the phone vibrates, SONY logo comes up, then the battery icon shows very briefly before it turns itself off
I have tried holding the down button while plugging it in, to get it into flash mode (or fastboot mode, i can't remember)
and Flashtool doesn't detect it, but i'm pretty sure it is in "that" mode
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just flash latest ftf file. Not cm10 or something. Working ftf. You can find it in General discusion.
Let us know if you are ok after flasf ftf.
If it works(schould work) just start over with flashing CM10
And if still does not work, relock bootloader, flash ftf again.

How do you suggest i flash that ftf? ADB doesn't recognize the device, i don't have a working recovery, and Flashtool doesn't recognize it either
My bootloader is already locked, i got stuck with a phone that can't be unlocked.

Put flashable zip of any stock based rom on your sd card! Install vengeance kernel! Now boot to recovery and flash the rom! You may later flash the stock kernel back, if you want.
Sent from my Xperia Miro

Flashing Vengeance Kernel requires my bootloader to be unlocked
I can't flash anything through recovery because i don't have a recovery
If i plug my phone into the computer through USB, my computer doesn't even see it
ADB doesn't see it, FlashTool doesn't see it
I can't flash anything from anywhere.
I can't even manually push the system files to my phone because nothing recognizes it. Nothing at all.
The phone won't turn on
EDIT: it doesn't bootloop, i press power, it turns on briefly, then it turns itself fully off

IT"S ALIVE!!!
Holy Hannah, i was getting ready whip it against a wall.
I still miss my HTC One, if it would hurry up with that new bottom speaker...
I opened FlashTool, clicked the black lightning bolt at the top, selected the .21 ftf i had, and off it went. The green bar at the bottom of FlashTool kept moving, but Flashtool itself didn't have any text or words on it, nothing telling me what it was doing. Which was very odd, it should have been making a log, but the window was blank. I waited for the progress bar to fill completely, then simply unplugged and pressed the power button
Anyway, thank you guys for giving me suggestions and keeping the ideas flowing.
Cheers! :highfive:

thanks for that...solved it btw....apparently the phone doesnt charge in flash mode...i flashed stock kernel with bin4ary's flasher...then kept the phone attached to the computer,(altho all the guides ask u to connect to wall charger,mine just went into flash mode in wall charger)...this triggerd a set of loops on the phone between flash mode and kernel charging mode(the sony logo)....after about 3 hours i flashed th system using flashtool...and altho it got stuck at around 25%..i waited for an hour and then disconnected and reconnected to usb and voila!!!..it booted back in android ...now i am not sure if it was flashed correctly or not but my phone is working properly....
so last thoughts...remember those guidelines that ask u to have full battery for any process on your phone?....well they are not joking:angel:..

I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.

I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.

this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN

thanks
thank, i like this forum

worth to try... (hope it won't happen to me :laugh: )

I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!! And to all those of you who are DESPERATE to fix their phone (I hope you read this thread), DON'T PANIC, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It took me 2 days of searching the web, and FINALLY I MADE IT!!! There are ALWAYS solutions to these kinds of problems!!!!
