OMFG I bricked my Touch Pro, need help ASAP please!!

Okay so i updated to Energy's build 21885 for the HTC Touch Pro and everything works fine like usual, and i began to start installing my apps etc.
It all went fine until i started installing some new apps (which might be the reason why it bricked my phone), i think one of the new app i installed was nueUSBKeyboard which is for the CDMA (i didn't read it properly at the start), and my Touch Pro is a GSM, so maybe that's the reason that bricked my fone.
I still don't know what bricked it, but right now when i turn on the fone, it shows the boot information at the very start of the startup, i.e it shows:
R 1. 14. 25. 35 (which is the radio i believe)
G 52. 64c. 25 35
D 5nergy ROM
and it just gets stuck there FOREVER.
I took out my battery and memory card and nothing changes, how do i solve this?? Please help.

Okay after doing some Google & XDA searches, i found a solution which i'm trying out right now. Since my phone could get to the screen with the boot information, and that i can get into the bootloader fine, it seems i can still connect my phone and update the rom.
To get to the bootloader, you press and hold the volume down button, and then you turn on the phone while pressing it. You should get a screen showing you some information and the screen looks red, blue & green.
Then, just plugin your USB and even though it doesn't say it's syncing with your PC (because you need to in order to update the ROM), but just go ahead and update the ROM anyway, it will connect and work.
Right now it's installing and I pray to god this will fix my problem, i will post back and update this, but hopefully anyone who had this problem can give me some other advice in case this doesn't work and hopefully anyone that might have this problem can try this out for themselves. This is the first time i've had a bricked phone.
Just wondering, what are the possible ways that you can brick your phone?? I didn't update the radio or anything, and updating roms is easy and plain as hell, i do that all the time so it can't be it since nothing went wrong, like EVER, and i restarted my fone several times after updating the rom, so it must be one of the new apps i installed for my fone but those are just .cab files that are safe because i got them from XDA itself, and those are very recent released apps too and are for WM 6.5 so i dunno what might have caused it other than nueUSBKeyboard......
EDIT:
Holy crap, it worked! Damn i almost pissed in my pants, god i can't live without a fone. But i would like anyone to give me some advice on what could've bricked my fone in case this happens again, coz i really dunno wot bricked it....

A hard reset would've done the trick.

Did you guys read properly? I said my fone got bricked because it gets stuck at the booting screen.
That's the screen that shows a black background and the word "Touch Pro" in the middle, and it shows your radio & rom information at the bottom right and they're in red colour.
I.E, I'm STUCK at that screen, i can't boot into the rom at all, so how can i even use hard reset? I can't even connect my fone to PC to access the memory card, nor can i use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Centre to sync with my device so that i can upgrade the rom, which is why i found the solution is to boot into your bootloader screen and then connect the USB, that's the only way it seems.
Edit:
Here, i took a picture showing you guys what i mean, sorry for the quality but you guys get the point, it gets stuck at that screen:

Is it fixed or not? Anyway, performing a hard reset and going into bootloader are pretty much the same thing (hold vol down + OK and soft reset). You can probably hard reset from the bootloader screen, although I've never done it myself.

do a hard reset may resolve this problem by pressing and hold volume down + center button then using stylus to press reset button, when hard reset screen is shown, press vol up button to accept hard reset, do again when done

ya guys, it's solved. I stated that in my 2nd post.....
anyway i didn't know u can hard reset from bootloader screen, now i can try that next time when this happens.

Hard Reset FTW
Hi all,
Just wanted to share that today, after a year of pleasant use on my Fuze, it 'bricked' after I disabled the performance upgrade options in TF3Dconfig and rebooted.
A quick search for "brick" in the Raphael forum led me to do a hard reset. All my texts and customizations are wiped out, but my phone is back up and running. Definitely glad I didn't just accept it as bricked, as I'm not due for an upgrade for 6ish months, and AT&T hasn't got anything for Android phones released yet, so I'd be back on my Wizard (with an english rom flashed onto a T-Mobile Germany-branded device, so funky keyboard action here).
+1 for the hard reset!

Follow the directions in the OneClick NvFlash CWM Recovery thread.. (the initial post). You should be good to go. It's in the development section.

i followed this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
specifically the part that says
How to revert back to stock recovery:
and i used the img5 file
like i said im new to this ive had a blackberry before this is all new to me

so was i right in the other thread and you have a factory fresh unrooted phone? thats an important detail

well i un-roothed it at one point ....
i believe i tried the factory reset when it was rooted, did i brick my phone?
this is what i did so far its at the SW upgrade with the yellow arrows part

after you put the battery in, you should have just rebooted/powered up the phone. who told you to hold up and power? img5 was sent successfully. you have stock recovery. vol.down and power will now do a factory rest. what color is the text that say's reset all to factory? i think you're still in clockwork recovery even though it said img5 sent successfully. that would be odd though. unless your vol.up and power messed something up.

and....have you even flashed a custom recovery? why are you going back to stock recovery if not?

i guess ive been trying everything i find hoping that something works
ive got it to go back to stock and it seems as if the market is just not showing up
oh and you got a pm good sir....

fixed thanks to crazythunder !
way to go now whats next?

well ive beEn having fun with my phone
it doesn't die nearly as fast as before.... the gps works from time to time and it only restarts on its own 5-10 times a day unlike every 15 min when i first got it
now i get a really aggravating problem if i get a text message it re appears sometimes 20+ TIMES
what causes this ?

Its like it never stops with this dam phone!
for the last few days when I open the email program it takes a second to load then they are deleted a split second after they open. Gggggrrrrrrr

And it.comtinues today I get woken up with an alarm and a frozen phone. I had to pull the case apart and pull the battery out to stop the alarm
Trying to use taptalk to reply it wont work this will be the fourth time I've typed this reply

[Q] How to contact Samsung

I've wasted an hour at the Samsung website. When the chat turned out to be broken the send button didn't,t work, I tried email. After answering all the same questions, model etc, the drop down for model wouldn't work. It's a required field so again, i'm stuck. Does anyone know how to reach them?
i received a galaxy note 10.1 16 gig wi-fi only for Christmas. it was terrific until yesterday morning. I took it from my padded brief case, pressed the start button and nothing happpened. I assumed I'd left it on overnight and rrun the battery down. I just put it away until i went home to charge it. I left it on the charger for a couple of hours. When i again pressed the start buttton, still nothiing. What do i do next?

Try leaving it charging for 6+ hours. Make sure it's plugged in all the way on both ends of the usb cable.

Does anyone know a phone number? That's one thing that's not on the website.
To answer the previous question, no it won't boot into download or Recovery.
I'll try the six hour charge, but I'm not hopeful.
Stay tuned for more on ...

I found 1-800-SAMSUNG somewhere. It's seven digits I thought so, what the heck. Well a very nice woman talked me through all the trouble shooting steps I'd already tried. But, then she gave me an RMA and emailed me a shipping label. So far so good then. More to follow.

Before you write it off as dead, may I make a suggestion. Keep a finger on the touch screen while pessing the power button. This solution works for me when I've experienced the "sleep of death" after upgrading my GN 8013 to JB. Holding down the power button on mine didn't do anything. I found the solution I mentioned when I began googling in a panic. After removing one offending app, this awful sleep mode that resembles a dead device hasn't occurred again. Maybe you have an app that's triggered this. Good luck.

It was Sipdroid. (Knock on wood) deleting it has stopped my note from going into the sleep of death. Fortunately, the voip app csipsimple is very stable on JB 4.1.2 and has no audio or registreation issues so I've still got voip on my note.

OnePlus 6 hard bricked. Need help.

I belive my 1+ 6 somehow got bricked. I didn't root it, I didn't unlock the boatloader, I didn't put any custom ROMs, everything was stock. I went to bed like usual, and left the phone charging. Around 1 hour later, I woke up, the screen was on
Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH
PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE.
I was half asleep, I restarted the phone, everything was back to normal and I thought that was the end of it. Woke up late in the morning, confused, because my alarm didn't ring. My phone was dead, wasn't turning on, it wasn't doing anything. It was charged when I restarted it last night (75%). I tried every single combination of buttons, I couldn't get it to boot into Fast Boot, nothing was working.
In the morning, I tried using the Msm tool, but it always got stuck at 'Memory size: 119.19G' after 13 seconds.

I gave up, and tried to turn on the phone a few hours later. It turned on, and I got that message again, that your device is corrupt. Pressed the power key, and it started just fine. It restarted afterwards, and was booting to fast boot menu. No matter what I tried, it was always going to the fast boot menu.
I tried the Msm tool, and this time I got past that stage. But, this time around, it got stuck at downloading system.img to system_a (I left it there for 40 minutes), until I closed everything and tried to restart the procedure.
Now I'm back to square 1, phone won't turn on, won't vibrate and will be stuck at Memory size stage.
Please help me out, I'm really desperate...

try other rom in msmdownloadtool, i give you a link to OxygenOS 9.0.2 MSMDownloadTool v.4.058:

drivers:

This is what I am getting now

Do you have another usb to type-c cable for try?

Tried 3 more cables, and 2 other USB ports, same results. Will have to try it tomorrow, again, on a different machine, but I am doubtful it's going to make any difference.
Any other ideas? Thank you!

try disabling the sha256 check, perhaps you can flash it with errors but your phone boot, seems an internal damage, i never had issues with msmdownloadtool

try a different version of the program and see if a reboot works. This program saved my phone also 2 weeks ago and i thought i was hard bricked also because my phone showed there was no recovery/fastboot and bootloader and at first the program didn't work like it should and after a reboot of the pc and then starting the app and then do the correct button combination so that the led light on the phone will turn yellow i believe and then start the process.

This sounds like a hardware failure, send the phone to oneplus.

Try to contact OnePlus service, I had a very similar problem to my 5T and they solved it via remote desktop.

Press volume up for 5 seconds then plug the device into your laptop. It should be detected as COM3 and the MSM download tool should detect the device.

The device, as mentioned in the initial post, is detected by the MSM tool, however, after I press start, I get hit with an error every time
I have contacted OnePlus, and they said that they no longer do remote fixes, as they used to.

For my past experience, You have to log in EDL mode instead fastboot for flashing through msntool.

Sir, did you solve the problem?

Sounds like an actual hardware issue if this happened on a stock device out of the blue. Contact OnePlus and hopefully they can make it right.

It was a stock device. Apparently the memory went bad out of nowhere, and the motherboard had to be replaced.

Did they replace MoBo for free? I have the same issue

Did you manage to get your phone working again? My onePlus 6 died on me last week too.
It was updated to 11.1.1 a few weeks ago.
Last week while idly scrolling social media, the phone froze, turned off, and when it turned back on, it displayed Qualcomm crashdump mode.
I've been running the MsmDownloadTool, and for the past 55 minutes it's been stuck in "Downloading system.img to system_a".
Not sure how to proceed from here.

Not sure if this helps, In some devices, ramdump mode means that the system can't deal with some determined process, for example an over exposure charging time. You should try to reboot it pressing the three buttons for about 12 seconds, and it should be fine.

This used to happen many years ago, was kinda normal, but it's strange actually with such powered devices, you should find a combination key to power off device (time ago worked pressing the three buttons about 30 seconds) and then restart from there, device has to reboot normally, ramdump state creates a complete log/report that take some time and usually is nothing more than that, something like this https://www.askmefast.com/How_can_i_reset_my_phone_its_on_RAMDUMP_MODEarm9_mode-qna1311373.html if the over exposition didn't lead to a hardware issue with the EMMC itself then it has to be fixable.

Hold all three physical buttons until it reboots

just hold the power button for about 20 seconds
