that is a possibility .. if reflashing deosn't help (that is if u can as if soft reset key stuck it won't stay in bootloader) than take it in for service.

the soft reset key has to be stuck because it wont stay in boot laoder and as soon as i put the battery in the phone it starts resseting again, and if i try and do a hard reset the i only have to press the 2 soft keys not even the soft reset button. will they service it even if the rom has been changed?
Hi all,
after installing volDeus BG tweakv 0.5 my phone died. i can't restart it and i can't perform a hard reset. i also tried the red reset button from the back - nothing. it's not even charging. i tried a different battery but didn't solve the problem. any help would be appreciated. i don't want to send it back for repair.
It happened to me after manilla, i made this factory reset and after that the phone worked fine.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
thanks for reply. like i said, i can't perform a hard reset because the phone is not responding. when i press the volume up, down and power button nothing happens. i don't know what to do.
Ahhhhhh.. me 2

If you're unable to perform a hard reset with the hard keys as explained above, you don't have any other choice but to send it in for repair as far as I know...sorry.
I'd suggest first taking out the battery for a couple of hours and then try again.

Also try this;
1. Remove the battery
2. Plug the USB cable to your computer and to your HD2
3. Push and hold volume down/up
4. Insert the battery
Normally the HD2 would start when doing this.

1. L3nny, for future reference, Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5 already has the voldeus skinning function built-in, so there's no more need for it in the future... but since you've got it now... calm down and bear with me here...
2. Voldeus' skinning does not mess with your rom image at all, and any changes can be reversed with a HardReset (i've been there and done that). A HardReset does take 3 hands and a few tries to get it for the first time. The red button on the back is only a SoftReset, same as taking the battery out, so that's not gonna work. And since you've just seen the bootloader now, your previous HardReset attempt probably didn't have the correct buttons combination, so it never worked. Try again using this combo from TBoy2000's HowTo thread: remember it's pressing volumeUP AND Down together AND Power button. you need three thumbs

2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

hard reset is not working. i don't think i do it wrong, because it's not the first time i try this.
i copied shell32.exe and aygshell.dll from voldeus' post an dput it on my sd card. i chose some settings, chose the wallpaper and soft reset. but the phone froze at start-up. i put out the battery and from that moment, i couldn't do anything.
if i can enter the bootloader does it mean i can install HSPL and maybe a stock or custom ROM? but if something goes wrong i loose my warranty!
please help me guys, i'm lost.
1) Maby your battery charge is too low ( maby, your usb port is broken and charging is not ON)
Try to connect your HD2 to charge
Its will be better if you will go to service centre.
sorry for my bad English

Is your machine tied to a certain provider? If it is send it back and get a new one.You obviously have a faulty machine.Easy way to bootloader,
Hold volume down.
Take off back.
Press red button.
Bootloader appears flash radio or ROM
i tried with another battery and nothing changed. so i solved this problem already.
yes, it's an orange phone. what would be better: trying to flash a new ROM (if something go wrong i loose the warranty) or send it back for repair?

I dont know but i think that: to flash a new ROM you must enter in bootloader.
It is better to change a device for the new
Its a critical problem. This problem can appear again even if you repair your phone.
If you have official guarantee - you must change your device ( go to your service centre )
DUDE!~!!!!~! You're already in bootloader, just flash your original orange STOCK ROM already and be done with this!!! ALSO, you MUST take out your SD card, since that maybe the problem to begin with (having your core system files at the root of your SD is not a smart idea). If that DOESN'T work, then send the damn thing back to Orange for an exchange! Your choices are really simple, why are you wasting everone's time with this!
Good luck
i just wanted your opinion about my problem beeing a beginner in WM phones. i think always is better to ask a second opinion, especially when you are a newbie. if i wasted someones time i'm sorry.
anyway, thanks for the answers. i'll send it back to orange.
I wouldn't send the phone to repair.
1. enter bootloader-mode
2. mtty task29 search forum
3. enter bootloader again
4. flash orange original rom
5. after flashing perform a hard reset
Hello there,
I have a Sony Experia E. My niece has entered a password accidentally and now it is locked. I tried to hard reset it but the combination 'volume down + power button' doesn't do anything. It just turns the phone on. Also, I tried to hard reset it using the pc companion but that doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't even recognize the phone. So, I can't access the pre-boot menu with none of the standard methods.
Is there maybe an alternative way to get around this problem? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

did you tried to reflash the ftf with flash tool?
Do you have your BOOTLOADER unlocked?
If YES, there's a simple method to break your PASSWORD..
Let me know your answer..
Sony xperia e
Thank you for your replies.
At the end the only cure I had was to take the phone to a service. After 15 days they've unlocked it and sent it back.
Anyway, thanks again.
Hey there,
I have a Lenovo A916 which was pretty reliable. However, it is currently stuck in a boot loop. It wasn't the average type of bricking where one was trying to flash a new rom or where one was trying to root the phone. It was one where a vital app was deleted (I believe the OS UI, I may be wrong) and thus it won't restart properly. I have searched several forums and researched several processes but I wanted more advice before I tried to unbrick the phone myself.
Unfortunately, the drawbacks are that there isn't much information out there about the particular type of phone, and it makes it hard to apply methods that are made for more popular models.
The phone is rooted but the boot loader is locked. Obviously I cannot go into USB debugging mode but the phone does have a memory card slot. I have both the original and a custom rom downloaded and the relevant drivers. I even have Lenovo's LeTools.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Have you tried factory reset? I have the same phone.
Turn it off, then hold the middle of the volume rocker firmly and keep holding it while you turn on the phone - you will see a green tilted android.
Press on/off button 1 time
use the volume rocker to move down to wipe data/factory reset and press the in the middle of the volume rocker. Then on the next screen move down to Yes and press the middle of the volume rocker.
Your phone will now factory reset - wait until its done.
it will restart by itself - if not, then move to reboot now and press the middle of the volume rocker.
Hopefully this will fix your issue - though now your facing another one - there might be spyware on your phone and you have to re-root it and depending on the method install either superuser or supersu(best), then remove the spyware with malwarebytes, avast, 360 security. Make a list of those that can't be cleaned.
Then disable the offending apps.
BE CAREFUL! I'm not responsible for what you do!
If you by accident choose the wrong thing, then hold the power button for 30 seconds and your phone will restart. Turn if off and try again.
Be advised that you will loose all your apps and files, you should remove your MicroSD card first.
Good luck
Factory reset won't work.
You said you just flashed a new rom right?
If you done factory reset, it wouldn't reset your phone COMPLETELY. It will just reset the settings and the data.
What you need to do is you need to find the stock rom of your device. Then reflash it into your device.

No, I didn't flash a new ROM. Actually, I was using the stock ROM when the UI got deleted. I do have the stock ROM however. What is the best way to flash the ROM to my device?
