I have HTC Inspire 4G rooted. I rooted it with this method that first I moved the following zip file in root of sd card and then I turn off phone. By pressing Power button + Volume down, hboot (S-OFF) was shown and it automatically updated the stock bootloader and recovery. This is link to the zip file. The recovery is ClockworkMod v5.8.1.5 (with touch)...
and currently this ROM is installed
Yesterday my phone got little wet from the back side as I accidentally placed it on water. The water hardly get inside it. I picked it and cleaned it with tissue. The phone then turned off and from that time, I'm having this problem.
1. When I press power button, the phone vibrates 3 times and the orange notification light starts blinking but no display.
2. When I try to boot the bootloader by pressing Power + Volume down buttons, the phone vibrates 5 times and the yellow notification light is constantly shown (No blinking)
When I first updated bootloader and recovery, I noticed that when I turn off my phone and connect it to charger, CWM recovery is booted. So I tried this method and now I can boot into recovery. I had the custom xperia ROM zip file in sd card that my phone was using, I first backed up current ROM and data from recovery, wiped Dalvik cache and Battery stats, formated /system, /data and /cache,,,, and installed the ROM again. Same problem with bootloader.
I then wiped Dalvik cache and Battery stats, formated /system, /data and /cache and tried booting bootloader and ROM, same problem...
SOLUTION
I found solution today. The volume rocker was causing these problems. I could not clean volume buttons so I cut the volume rocker cable. and phone started like before.

Your phone is compatible with the clockwork recovery touch?
Edit
Excuse is the nexus s forum, so it is compatible xD
Make the root of your phone with any application in the market and install the recovery ClockworkMod touch with Rom manager premium or Rom toolbox Pro. Restart recovery using Rom manager or Rom toolbox and do a full cleaning on the phone. Wipe only data and cache.
Now, select from mount and storage mount USB storage and copy over to your i9020 storage any rom ( try using the cm9 ). If the installation is successful restart, if not try some other roms. More than that I do not know how to help.
P.s.: In theory it should go smoothly, otherwise I do not assume any liability for further damage to the phone ... Good luck!
I flashed a zip, and now my phone won't boot! When I press power and volume down, it doesn't boot into recovery either! Like it vibrates twice but then just doesn't boot! Please help!!!!
I was also running cm10 liquidsmooth, and when I try to boot to recovery it just vibrates twice and the screen shows the samsung logo for like teo seconds. Then the screen just goes blank. I seriously need help!
Can you give a little more information, like how you went about the installation, your source for information and if your root worked properly the first time you did it on stock

It's the whole volume rocker (volume up and down) and the power button, to get into the recovery. Release the power button when it vibrates but keep holding the volumes until your in the recovery.
And make sure you do full wipes when switching roms, wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache, and system. Or run Blackhole System Wipe.
When I hold on both volume buttons and press the power button and release it, it just flashes the samsung logo and the screen goes blank.
Basically everything has been working right before, everything was fine. The rom worked perfectly. After I flashed a zip (not a rom, it was just a camera app) I hit reboot in the cwm and then it just wouldn't boot, not into recovery either.
Try holding all of them for a minute or two. Sometimes it takes a bit. From what you have said nothing should have borked your cwm. If all else fails, there's always the option to use Odin to reflash back to stock or reflash cwm.

Cwm

I always hold all three until the samsung logo appears, then I release the power button. When CWM comes up I release the volume buttons.
If you can still boot your ROM you should just use terminal emulator. (Download it from the play store if you don't have it on your rom). *requires root*
Type su
confirm root access.
then type "reboot recovery"
That should do it...
OR...
You could just ODIN CWM back on your phone if something got corrupted...
I used odin and followed the instructions.... but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
oh thank goodness, I flashed CWM through odin again and it worked. Thank you all.
Hi,
My p500 phone is just showing LG logo on power up and gets blank after few seconds. I tried all combination volume, power, home keys.
It's not even getting detected by PC. Actually its not reaching to boot loader and stuck before that.
To achieve this situation what I did :
1. I wanted to flash new 4.4.2 ver 12 with this thread.
2. I wiped all data, cache , etc.
3. I tried to update CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564767 from v6.0.4.6.
4. During the installation I pulled out battery by mistake.
5. I rebooted the phone and it got stuck to blank screen after on LG logo screen.
Please suggest something.
I know phone doesn't have any data, rom and CWM recovery (corrupted) and not even boot leader.
Also adb is not able to detect as it's not booting till PC can detect a device.
I am sure it's not hard bricked
Please help , how can at least boot so that adb can detect.
Thanks,
Devesh
Solved
That's how it worked :
1. I pressed a magical combination (dont remember ) :
a. Up volume + back key + power key while inserting battery
or
b. Up down+ back key + power key while inserting battery
which game emergency mode. And that was enough for me.
2.Then, I used standard method to flash recovery and image see here
3. I flashed finally cwm v6.0.4.8 with kitkat 4.4.2.
and it worked
I wipes the cache/dalvik and data and flashed RastaPop - everything worked fine.
I cleared internal storage in TWRP and after this as soon as it boots the screen goes black (still with backlight) - if i hold the power button the power actions pop up, but no way to access anything on the phone.
I've tried reflashing RastaPop and clearing everything.
Flashed stock rom using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Note to self, don't wipe internal storage
Okay so I'm not new to rooting, flashing custom roms, or using custom recoveries, but this one has stumped me.
After reading and researching several poorly written/translated guides I set out to flash the Miui6_5.3.20_r827_b3wok custom rom on my Oppo Find 5 Mini. I copied the CWM for the R827 into the sd card, using Mobile Uncle MTK tools to install it. I successfully rebooted into CWM, selected the factory reset option (wiping data and cache) and then format /system and wiped the dalvik cache. I then installed the zip of the custom rom, with no errors. However, the custom rom needed a patch, specifically the "VPN-Fix by Louise - AICP v10 - R827" which acc. to the instructions were supposed to be patches BEFORE gapps.
Now the problem is that at the end of flashing that patch, it automatically reboots the phone, so I held the power button while the Oppo logo was there and booted into CWM again. I then flashed gapps, and rebooted the device.
However, I am no longer able to get into CWM, nor does the Oppo logo move/progress. Pressing Volume Down + Power to get into recovery mode turns on the phone with the text =>Recovery Mode in the bottom left, but instead of going into CWM it now just turns off the screen, vibrates, and proceeds to boot as if I never attempted to go into recovery mode in the first place.
Is this phone well and truly bricked? Fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power) just vibrates the phone and turns it off, so theres no way I can do a adb reboot or sideload. I can however copy files to and fro the microSD card via a separate card reader, if it helps.
Thanks for helping , and sorry for the long read...This really is my last hope. :crying:
Update: Okay so I went to the Oppo store and after about 40 minutes they somehow both fixed it and updated to the ColorOS with Kitkat.
OP resolved.
