My brother has a stock alltel 6800, brand new. He wanted to upgrade to dcd's ROM like I did but he thought he had to flash the 3.27 radio after the ROM so now he is stuck at the alltel screen. I have tried everything i could to fix it (which is still not that much because im just starting to flash myself) and nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
What dcd did you flash?
Hold down the power and camera button and hit the soft reset. Make sure you hold down the power and camera button after you soft reset till boot loader screen comes up. Load org rom.
bricked
DCD 2.3.2
and i did try holding down power+camera and hitting reset but it just restarts and goes to the alltel screen

i did but it just stays on the alltel screen
i know its suppose to bring you to the bootloader but when i tried it just did a soft reset
You have to HOLD them all down UNTIL screen pops up...if you let go to early it will just reset.
well its still not working
i just want to know if there is any way that you can get stuck on this screen with no way to fix it because for all i know one of the buttons might be broken

Pull the battery out, leave it out for 10 seconds, put it back in. Don't press the power button, but instead, hold power+camera and reset to enter the bootloader.
no good
tell me what i should do EXACTLY and what i should see while doing it then

hold power+camera and have your stylus pressing the button on the bottom of the phone...hold until rainbow screen
first of all, should it even be going through the reset routine (vibrates, htc screen, alltel)? because no matter what i do whenever i press (or hold) down the power button it resets.
So you are holding the power button and the camera button and having your stylus holding in the reset button on the bottom of the phone? HOLDING ALL OF THEM...lets say for 10secs?
still not working, just resets.
well one last question then,
i take out the battery, wait a little and put it back in, i hold down the buttons and it turns on, goes to the htc screen, then alltel screen.
is this how it is suppose to look or is it suppose to go straight to the bootloader because im now very certain that it must be a button malfunction
when holding in the buttons like that it should go to a tricolor screen...not reset...it will just reset if not held in long enough though
It is tricky but,,,,,
I have one that my camera button is sort of recessed a little and hard to make work, maybe his is also and may be even broken like he says as it is behaving like he is not holding the camera button. If it is new then I would take it back to them and say "it just did this" and play greeeeeen as grass dumb,,,,that is if you reeeeeeeally can not get it to the bootloader screen which would help.
Hi,
This is about my Samsung Vibrant. I flashed a new rom onto it and after the regular installation the screen turned black and would not turn back on. Like nothing works. No lights, no anything, like the power button hasn't even been touched.
Is my phone bricked? Is there any fix to this?
Thanks
what do you mean black screen? as in no power at all? Even when charging the phone?
Yeah. Like it looks like the phone is off. Just black
have you tried removing the battery then going to DL mode?
I've tried all three button combinations.
Removing the battery and then holding the two volume buttons and inserting the battery then pluging it into my computer.
Nothing seems to work. The phone is unresponsive and the screen remains black the whole time. The four lights on the bottom of the screen don't even light up.
Hmm, let's wait for the others but i think....
Guide in signature should help
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
This is under the NO-BOOT phones.
I tried and it doesn't put it into download mode. If I can get it back to download mode it would be golden.
I think they've rigged things to force download mode haven't they?i don't know if it will help but it might be worth a shot
Still flashing , thanks to odin
Check my guide under the troubleshooting section, it should have a link to the "Soldering Method" and THAT will force it into DL mode.
But I'd advise you to CAREFULLY follow my steps again before spending time and money on the soldering methdo x) Just a thought

So...... yeah
My wife dropped her Radar into water. Luckily she quickly pulled it out, removed the back, and killed the power. We threw it in some rice and waited. After a fair amount of time (48 hours), I pulled it out and tested it. It powered on. Here's where we got into trouble.
My wife grabbed the phone back, pulled the back off instead of powering down, threw in her sim, and did something... the phone is now in USB Host Mode and won't come out. It reads:
PI06110
SPL-2.4.160015.3(136036)
eMMC SMS 7376MB,FA31
TOUCH A1(F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-16.23.05.13_2
Serial (will change to USB if plugged in so it's still recognized by a computer)
APPSBL
IMAGE CRC
FACTORY RESET
I can't get it to come out of USB Host Mode. I can get it to restart, but it immediately goes back to this screen. Does anyone know how to get the phone out of this? I'm sure that I'm overlooking some simple button combination. Please help if you can.
The device also won't power off. It always comes back to this screen.
I did several searches and couldn't find anything in this forum or in the WP7 main forum. Lots of talk of making GOLD Cards when semi-bricked. Have I come to this???
Thanks Team XDA!

I got stuck in a constant loop of the USB host mode when I was doing the gold card thing to hack the spl/hspl... The only thing that worked for me was to get a little screw driver, take the phone apart and pop out the battery. Then when I put it all back together and turned it on, it went back into the normal boot mode. The only issue I've seen now is that I can no longer get back into USB host mode (it's just a white screen) when I do that button combo. But, I was able to change the SPL and HSPL so I don't really have a need...

I appreciate the suggestion. I took the phone apart which was actually pretty easy. I pulled the battery and let it sit. I then depressed the powerbutton to release any charge left in it.
Long story short, I'm still stuck in USB Host Mode. Not sure where to go from here, other than shopping... Thanks for the help though. At least I can add another phone to my list of disassembled devices.

Hmm, that is really odd.
Another time I got stuck in "USB Host Mode", I held down 'Power' + 'Volume-down' + 'Camera' for a good minute or two. The phone just kept rebooting. When I finally stopped the reboot, it booted normally into the OS.
Another thing you could try is to power it off. Then hold both 'Volume-up' & 'Volume-down' and press the power button. That should take you to a different screen, where you have options to restart/reformat. Can you get to that screen?

I will try this next. I've attempted the "power + vol- + camera" but didn't hold it that long.
I've tried Vol+- + power and that didn't give me a different result.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've already chalked the phone up to a loss and bought another one for her. I feel its probably karma for all the risky hacks and flashes I've attempted and never had problems with. Bound to have a phone malfunction at some point. Its just funny this wasn't of my own doing.

well the trick is switch off the device and boot up using "power + vol- + camera", the device will boot up with usb host mode.
if you are stuck thn press "vol(both +up and -down) and power" this will reboot.
Hi all,
Recently I posted that my phone just constantly reboots (started when I was just opening a message to read from notifications). Reboots after 3-4 seconds of turning on, can't turn it off (it just turns on as soon as battery is put in). I can get it into download mode (home + vol down), but it just reboots. So it seems that the power button is 'pemantly held down' (I wonder if someone can replicate this just by holding their power button down).
Anyways, it's been back to Samsung under warrenty, and they've sent it straight back without attempting to repair, saying it's be seriously "internally damaged", and that's not covered. Which IMO is rubbish, but it's rooted (shows the red ! on boot), so they can just use that excuse if they want to anyway.
I've just opened it up myself, and whilst the process is relatively simple, there seems to be nothing wrong (looks good, clean, sound, etc inside), and the power button seems to be acting as normal. I got the remove motherboard step here (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S+III+Front+Panel+Assembly+Replacement/12697 step 22), and don't think I need to go any further.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I go next? I've put it back together, and exactly the same symptoms. Something else to look for? Remove more parts from it? I don't know. I'm at a lost. I'm sure this is recoverable, and don't want to get a new phone.
Many thanks.

Just as an aside, I looked up replacement power buttons before I started this, and these are on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/2909...ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 but they look nothing like what's in there, and tbh that kind of soldering job is probably beyond me.
Hi,
Last week, I spilled a bit of beer on my Huawei Ascend G700. The phone started to turn the volume down at random moments when there were no buttons touched. I figured it was best to turn it off, pull out the battery, and let the phone dry.
It's been a few days now, but when I try to start the phone now, the only thing that happens is that only "=> FASTBOOT mode..." is showed in the bottom left corner. Nothing else, and it stays there until I pull the battery out.
I have tried disassembling the phone and clean it as far as I could, but it made no difference.
If I push the volume up button together with the power button it starts the recovery mode, but I can't do anything from there. And I can't connect to phone to my computer. (It isn't recognized).
I have found similar problems online, but with the difference that I have not rooted this phone. Is there a way to get the phone back working? I would like to keep the original firmware, if possible. For I can't think of a reason why it would be helpful to still try to root the phone.
So, the only thing that happened before my phone freaked out is that I have spilled a bit of beer on it (only a few drops, phone was in a case). Never rooted the phone. Phone was only a month old. I think it is running on android 4.2, but I'm not sure.
I think the volume down button is still making contact somehow as the beer has not dried off. Or maybe the button is being pressed somehow. I say this because when You power on an Android phone with power down key, it usually boots into fast boot. Try cleaning again.

I tried. I disconnected the connection cable from the volume button, but it doesn't make any difference.
