[Q] Is my phone bricked!? Oh crap. - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So heres the problem. I've been waiting ages for a good phone that can play videos on the go, but after finding out that my HTC hero (GSM) only supports 2.1 android and cant run iPlayer, i thought i might as well try to install it myself. And thats when it all went wrong. I got UniversalAndroot 2.2 and now my phone just freezes on an "android" logo which was never even there before. What can i do? The only thing i can do is hold down the power and volume down buttons and get into a white screen with two options. Help please....

isnt it home and power button to go to recovry?

Have you wiped your phone data in your recovery image if not wipe your phone data/factory reset in your recovery image and also wipe your cache

It's fine guys, I managed to get into recovery, thanks for your help!

Help!!! My Samsung galaxy player is bricked! (i think)

hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!
Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.
details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)
If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com
tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.
Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?
it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.
I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)
Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.
i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing
so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused
Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!
Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.
ok. let me ask google too xD
anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?
im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0
ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)

Phone won't boot up (rooted)

I attempted to flash MIUI.us V4 2.6.8 Atrix ByTeamMotoTegra today, and was almost successful, but I found out that I shouldn't have wiped the phone before flashing. I lost the touch functionality, and couldn't select my language. I flashed my old ROM (Neutrino) to try to flash back to MIUI, but still could not seem to get the touch funcationality.
After a few times of taking out the battery and trying to get the MIUI ROM working, I ran into a boot loop. The screen will not go past the screen with the red logo, no matter what I do. If I hold the volume up/down buttons, "starting RSD protocol support" appears, but nothing else happens. The phone just keeps turning off, then returning to the screen with the red logo. Any ideas on how to get past this screen?
i have a similar problem, i rooted and unlocked a friend atrix today on 2.3.6 version 4.5.141
it went fine and booted normally. i then went into cwm and made a mistake by not making a backup, cleared data cache and dalvik then proceeded to flash aokp. it booted but didnt go past the motorola dual core screen while still displaying unlocked. i can still go to fastboot and even into cwm as i have attempted to flash other roms after clearing all things out again but nothing is going past the boot screen.
any suggestions?
I can scroll through the other CWM menu options, but I can't boot up or anything else. Anytime I select one of the options, it will either just restart and go back to the red logo screen, or say I don't have enough battery life to flash. My battery is now completely dead and doesn't seem to be charging at all, even though it's been plugged in all night.

[Q] Stuck at boot after upgrade Revolution HD

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to Revolution HD 32.0 (coming from 31.0).
Here's what i did.
Boot into recovery.
Clear cache+dalvic-cache.
Install zip from sd-card (select revolution hd 32.0)
Started Aroma installer, left everything pretty much default, just removed some of the samsung junk.
After the install was finished i cleared the cache again and rebooted the device.
It started with the start up logo and after a minute or so "Android upgrading..." with the applications counting.
After that it shows "Finishing boot"
Then nothing, it stays at that for like 5 minutes, then reboots and stays stuck at the samsung logo.
So i decided to boot into recovery, whipe caches and fix permissions and reboot again.
Same thing happened as before.
So i wanted to do a full clean install of the rom, wiping all userdata.
Surprise! Can't get into recovery or download mode anymore.
Took out battery for a few minutes and put it back in.
Still can't access download mode or recovery with vol+menu+pwr...
Does anyone know what's going on, or better, how i can possibly fix this?
I have no idea how to access my device now to make changes...
Thanks a lot!
If you can't get into bootloader with vol down, home and power button then you have a brick, service centre repair required.
Worth trying a USB repair jig to get download before paying for a repair .

Accidentally Deleted System under TWRP, Now stuck at HTC boot logo.

Hi, this is a new phone, ordered from eBay. It didn't have PlayStore or Browser or any important apps, I also found out that it was a rooted phone and it was originally a Sprint phone since I just ordered a brand new HTC M9. I don't mind it being a sprint phone, since it works with my carrier in India.
Well I tried to do a factory reset, and went to Twrp and delete Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data. After that it showed no OS installed and also Phone not rooted, do you want to install SuperSU. After rebooting the phone, it's stuck at white HTC boot logo.
I searched for this problem in Google, and found lots, but I was not able to understand anything, i'm not a noob, I have rooted several phones and installed custom ROM, but this is a first. I'm sorrry if I didn't search enough, but I opened at least 20 Web pages and still nothing was clear to me I tried installing Stock ROM for sprint 3.41.651.4 for HIMA, which I think is Marshmallow, and mine was initially running lollipop.
Please help, if possible in a step by step manner. I don't want to return this phone and wait for a new phone since it looks brand new.
Thank You.

Can I do this thru TWRP install?
Is there a difference leaving the name of full .zip than just OPJAMG.zip?
Thanks

I have a HTC One M9 Sprint that powers up but stays stuck at the HTC logo with red text. IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I AM VERY DESPERATE FOR HELP!

Touch stopped working and stuck in twrp

So, I was watching some videos on youtube on my phone (GM-925I, rooted) and I clicked on the recents button to open the tabs but could not click on anything. I thought my phone might have hanged so I tried locking and unlocking the screen and the swipe to unlock actually worked. But after that, I again could not click on anything. I tried the home button, volume up and down buttons, all were working just fine so the phone definitely hadn't hanged and since the touch was working on the lock screen it couldn't have been a hardware issue. I thought of restoring a backup i had made with twrp so I managed to boot into recovery but my stupid ass forgot that this recovery only worked with touch and touch wasnt working in recovery as well! So, not only can i not restore backup or factory reset the phone but I cant also boot into system as everytime I close the phone with simulated battery disconnect it just boots back into twrp. I can go to Odin mode though so if anyone can either tell me if the touch problem is a hardware problem or if there is some way I can factory reset or even boot into system somehow.
I'm kinda new to the whole software customization thingy and would really appreciate any help on this.
