HTC EVO 4G :: Bricked After Update / Way To Reflash?
Jul 9, 2010
Been using my iPhone 4 for the past few weeks and finally broke the Evo back out to compare it for a few weeks. When I turned it on I got the notice for update so I did it thinking maybe it would help with the random reboot problem I had been having. Well after the update it sticks at the white HTC screen. I have tried all the basic fixes, held down volume/power, clear storage, recovery. When I clear storage it reboots and hangs at white screen again, if I do recovery I get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a ! in it. Any way to re-flash the phone or something to get it working? I assume If i can get something on the little SD card but how do I do that when the phone won't work? I'd really like to not have to deal with getting it replaced.

So if my phone becomes a paper weight after the OTA rolls out then Verizon did it on purpose right? You can't tell me they can't force the OTA to override the leaked version. I would think they would force all the phones to update to their version of the OS. Therefore, if my phone bricks after the OTA then they are just being jerks right?

I finally updated my nexus after seeing it in my notification column. All seemed okay so let it get on with it.But when I thought it was ready I cannot get further than the four moving coloured circles. I have tried to factory reset and delete cache but has made no changes. I have been in contact with google play who now say there is no more actions that can be done so will need replacement.

So apparently the JI6 i odin'd on to the phone may not be a good one? I'm a tad confused and don't remember where i read it but apparently there may be some blocked apps on the app store? Such as what? What do i search for or how do i know if i have a bad JI6 on the phone.

Is it possible to re flash? Here is why I ask... after installing th CL14 update, phone has become buggy. Answer button works intermittently, e-mail won't work. Can I re flash the CL14 update? If so, do I just follow the same steps as the first time?

I'm running rubix focused .5 and bgx theme. I wanted to try out a new theme tho and saw that sometimes installing a theme over another leaves traces of the old and bgx seems like a deep theme. Would I be able to flash rubix again, like the first time,to get to a stock Rom and install the theme from there?

I want to do a wipe and reflash a rom. When wiping though, should i just wipe, then flash while still in recovery, or wipe - reboot - go through the set up, then boot into recovery and flash the rom?

So, I have 2 backups. 1 is my stock rooted ROM and the other is virtuous. I see them on my SD card but it's not a zip file like the ROMs are, they are in a clockworkmod/backup/ folder. If I wanted to, how would I reflash/restore from the backup?

My Evo is rooted, but I have lost my recovery image. Attempts to re flash recovery via ROM Manager and ADB both failed. I now have a task bar message saying the card is mounted read only. I put it in an adapter, plugged into my PC and ran Check Disk, which appeared to restore R/W status. I then put it back in the phone, rebooted and tried to flash a new image with ROM Manager, I have the read only issue again. I still have root, root apps still receive SU permissions, but I have no nand access and cannot re flash CWM or Amon.

First off, sorry if this has been posted. I searched all over and couldn't find it so if it is, no need to answer. Just point me in the right direction please. Ok - New to rooting- Sick of waiting for 2.1 ota and wanted to wireless tether, and OC. I rooted and installed the newest smoked glass rom 6.0.1 and accidentally removed some apps I didnt want removed. IE youtube. I heave searched about how to restore youtube and I do know how to do it and start over. Is there a way to get youtube back and keep my customized homescreens and new apps? I have searched here and droidforums.net but most posts say "just reflash." Anyone have a little more specifics? I just dont want to lose all my paid apps and customization time.

I got tired of the issues with the stock rom (random calls I did not make, phone lockups, battery issues) 2.1 with recovery and root, so I decided last night to reflash it with stock and use the radioactive froyo firmware 1.7.1 from SDX. Everything was fine last night. This morning I've had it lock up on me 3 times. Every time it happens after I hit the end button to turn off the screen. The screen doesn't come back up. I just want a working phone.

i have a question re the whole process. i used unrevoked to root my desire n used adamg's froyo sense w/o partitioning d sd card. upon boot up to the rom, i noticed that the internal storage has the same storage space left of about only 20mb which is basically the same as with the original rom. i now used rom manager n partioned my sd card 512mb for both ext n swap file. n upon restarting, it now has an internal mem of more than 120mb.
1. Are my partitioning settings correct? 512mb for both ext and swap files? If not, what should be the ideal setings and can please someone explain what ext n swap files are and what they are for?
2. Since I partitioned the drive 'after' installing the froyo sense by adamg, do i need to reflash the rom again?
3. I noticed that after installing a number of apps from Market, it comes to a point that it's stuck at 'starting to download' only after i deleted some other apps do i notice that i can download addtl apps again. is this because of the method i did in installing the new rom?

I am using a BQ Pascal 2 Tablet which is equal to the Odys Neo X7. I installed the german Version of the Odys Neo X7 software, because there was no german or englisch dictionary installed. The ODDYS software works without any issues, but there is also no dictionary included (confirmed by Odys Support)
So i tried to go back to the Stock software, which is a bit faster.I tried to restore the Backup, made with Clockwork (after formatting the device). no success. The device get stuck at the Bootscreen.The same happens if i will install the CyanoMod from this Forum.
The Odys Update uses the RKAndroid Tools to flash the device. BQReaders uses a file named image.img which has to be placed in the root of the internal SD-Card. The update starts automatically after a few seconds. The Odys-Software is not able to do this.
The Image-File from BQReaders is only only one file with a size of 315 MB, not divided in Bootloader / Recovery and so on.how i can go back to the Stock Software? It can be experimental, because i will be able to install the Odys Software by the RKAndroid tools again.

I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.

I'm running the 2.1 leak and so far it has been flawless. My battery life has improved, however today something odd is happening. I am getting constant updates from my gmail saying I have a new email, when my inbox is the same. Do I need to reflash? I'm using one of the original patched versions.

I just unrooted and installed the leaked radio update so i would have less bugs with the froyo ROMS.
I installed the radio perfectly fine, but now unrevoked isn't working for me. I deleted all of the previous files and reinstalled them (sdk folder, usb drivers, reflash)
when i run the reflash tool, it gets stuck after rebooting, says "waiting for reboot..."
As the phone rebooted, it changed to "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!" but instead of into recovery, it just continued to restart the phone as usual

A few months ago I bought two N8000 phones and I was glad they came with full Hebrew menus. But now I bought a device that came without Hebrew.
So I tried to update the version with this method bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html#comment-form
And now the device turns on and works, but the screen remains blank white.
I saw on the forum that people have asked for the problem and you told them they have to replace the DSP_BL file and reflash
The problem is that the links are broken and I can not find the appropriate version for me.
I have tried full and partial update with many versions:12.06.12 firmware.rar
20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1.zip
I downloaded also this tool SP_MDT software fot flashing.rar But I was unable use it
I downloaded also this two packages, (Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V.05-1.zip + Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_ICS_V.09.zip) but they are not suitable for use with SP Flash Tool v3.1216.05 (they not have scatter.txt file)

On my Nexus One, I had installed (the free version of) Shazam a while back, and it its running fine.
Since I am an old user of Shazam, I have been "grandfathered" and enjoy unlimited tagging.
I intend to RESET my phone clean and then root it.
Question -- does anybody know if Shazam will remember my "grandfathered" status and let me enjoy the unlimited tags?
I never registered with Shazam on their website, so I don't even have a registered account with Shazam.com

I uploaded a custom rom on my xperia x10, for that i unlockd the bootloader and stuff..
Now, my phone is switched off since 15 days, when ever i try to switch it on, it vibrates once and nothing at all afterwards...if i press power button again, it won't vibrate, unless and untill i remove the battery and reinsert it in phone..
i see three red flashes of light, when connected to PC..
1. PC Companion for update, repair and custom repair is not working...most of the time phone is not detected..
2. SE-update service is also not working and phone is shown as Xperia arc..
3. Flashtool, doesn't recognize the handset
4. few, technician told me box flash would work, but again, it didn't work out
Now, i don't know much about this, but i do understand that hardware seems to be good, till now, the only issue is software and that to initial boot process i.e. bootloader.
is there any other way i can upload a new custom rom on my xperia ??

I have a [Gen2] ZTE v9 Tab which had 2.2 as the stock OS which I managed to get upgraded to 2.3 using modcore everything was gr8. I pushed my luck little further and tried to install Android ICS in order to do that I did a TPT using image file and after doing that my tab is bricked.
It's not booting into the OS I tried to get into the FTM mode but that doesn't work now only thing that work's is the ADB I tried the recovery methods that can be done through ADB but it says "sh:/sbin/recovery xxxx" missing.
What I think is that the system partition was recreated and Is there any way that I can get the system files on to the tab using ADB or a way to copy entire directory on to the tab using the ADB.
Got the system to boot to FTM but when I try to flash it the software fails and gives a error "Failed to Get aprmg x x x " some thing like that if there's a way to skip this I'll be able to get my tab back to working condition.

I got an HTC Explorer around a month ago and quickly found out how useless it was with the miniscule amount internal storage HTC decided to provide me with. So I quickly found jaggyjags' rooting tutorial found here: http:[url]....
All went well and I was happy with the phone, until some of the apps started bloating and I went a little too far with link2sd and tried to convert the com.htc app into a user app, which ended disastrously. Pretty much every process failed or had an error, so I tried restarting the phone and found myself in a boot-loop.
I then succesfully got into HBOOT and then into recovery. So I decided to try installing jaggyjags' custom ROM. After taking out my SD card to connect to my computer and copy jaggyjags' rom to, I got back into HBOOT, but could not get into recovery anymore. All the phone did was get stuck on the HTC screen.
After leaving it on the screen to see if it would eventually make it to recovery, I discovered that the phone is now dead and won't even charge. I'm not sure if it's because the battery might be dead or some other reason.

This is from my original thread from XDA. It has had numerous hits and questions, which made me realize how so many people have had similar problems. There are solutions on XDA too, but the problem is that there is no one solution to the issue. There are a lot of solutions, but this is a aggregate of all the solutions. I will add FAQs as and when questions are asked, and will keep it as updated as possible. Criticisms, comments and questions are welcomed. HOW TO UN-BRICK AN SLCD BRICKED DESIRE Elementary Frequently asked questions have been included at the latter part of this post. Guide level: Beginner-Advanced (Beginners should read the FAQ at the end, before reading the instructions. Also be well versed with the Requirements I've listed, by reading from the articles listed, before you attempt the methods listed in the post). Caution. CREATING A GOLD CARD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND PRIMARY STEP TO DO BEFORE YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE, WHETHER IT IS BRANDED OR UNBRANDED. IF YOU EVER WANT TO RETURN YOUR PHONE FOR WARRANTY, THIS IS ESSENTIAL, AND CAN GET YOU OUT OF MOST CASES OF SLCD BRICKS. What was my problem (a.k.a What is an SLCD bricked Desire? a.k.a Why is there nothing on my Desire screen after running an RUU/flashing an incompatible ROM)?......

I'm in Canada and my service provider is Rogers, however I bought the phone in Hong Kong. At first, I rooted my Galaxy S i9000 so I can remove the stock apps, but I couldn't seem to unroot it so I flashed the firmware. At first it said "failed" so I had to reboot it back into download mode to start the flashing again. I forgot to put on the back cover during the flash and the battery fell out. Now when I turn on my Galaxy S, it stays on the welcome screen where it says "Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung" and does not do anything. Is my phone bricked and what can I do to fix it?
