Hello all,
I got a Ray last week, unlocked it, rooted it, put MIUI rom on everything went fine.
However today, the screen suddenly stopped responding completely. I pulled the battery out, back in, nothing. I re-flashed the rom, nothing then re-flashed the stock rom still nothing at all.
I tried to relock (in case i have to send it back to my operator and also try the automatic push thing from blendmiui) the bootloader but i got a failure in flashtool.
I can t do anything with it and can not mount the SD card to put an other rom in it.
So basically now i got the stock rom which boots, the power and home buttons work, but that s pretty much it.
Does anyone have an idea ?
well that looks more like a hardware problem on the touch pannel, not related to ROM whatsoever.
Apart from sending it to repair ... I don't see any solution :-(
Aww that s what i was scared of ... Do you know by any chance if the warranty will take care of this ? Knowing that i unlocked the BL ?
Yes I think, you didn't brick your phone (software), if it's an hardware problem unlocked bootloader will not change anything concerning the warranty.

Hi, my phone was working just fine (i had Miri's HD2 v 19.0 and i think a 2.10 radio). Anyway, I also have a version of Android on my phone that didnt work right (the person on the other end had that robot voice). So I was told that to fix this problem I needed to change around the different ROMs to fix the Android problem. So tonight I flashed the stock ROM back on there (because I read that it's not good to go from cooked ROM to cooked ROM). It completed then just shut off. Nothing. All black screen with not even the light on top working. I just read through the thread below, and the battery is out right now and will stay out for a couple hours then i'll try to put it back in because it seemed to work for that guy. Any other suggestions? Thank you soooo much in advance for any help.
If I cant get it to work at all, it is still under warranty and I have insurance. (When you send your phone in and its under warranty, they send out a phone to you first, then when you get the phone, you send the defective phone back). So I could do that. But since it wont start I wont be able to get HSPL off of there before sending it back. Is everyone 100% sure that HSPL voids your warranty? If so, should I like break the screen or do some other damage to the phone before sending it in?
you havent yet mentioned what model hd2 it is and what stock rom you flashed, and whether you used usb or sd card to flash it, or which version of hspl it was, nothing of any use diagnostically
Its a T-Mobile phone, i used hspl 3 and i flashed through usb. The ROM that I tried to install was "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship"
I hope this is what you need.
Hello!
It's insane, here is the description.
The android booted up just in safe mode.
The winmo had faults, so I've decided to change the whole system, with task 29.
At first I've changed my radio to the 2_12_50_02_2 version.
Than I've started the task29, the one what do not needs the radio.
Thats all I've done, and now I cannot reach the boot loader, or anything else.
The vol up and start trick is not working.
Please give me a solution, I need this phone working, I need a solution, and I appreciate every tip.
Thank You in advance!!!!
its volume down, not up.
same problem for me here
i did task29 and it was all fine, 100% reached and then the HD2 did a reboot, stopping at the black screen with the white HTC logo.
then as always i removed the battery and put it in again, holding vol down und clicking power-up once.
nothing happend... the phone vibrated once and got back to the HTC logo.
NO bootloader!
please do not tell me i'm too dumb to enter bootloader, i've been flashing custom roms for 6 months now!
my latest rom was Goatrip 6.0 and HSLP is 2.08
yesterday when goa6 was still "alive" the volume-down button worked fine, so the problem cant be some dust or dirt beneath the buttons.
edit: i've also tried flashing via SD card (clean FAT32 formatted 2gb card) the original stock rom 3.14 and a custom rom,
none of them is working either
every single hint of how i could solve this issue would be great!
hope to here from u guys
Remove the SD card and try again to go into BootLoader mode.
i have tried all methods and variations but i cant enter bootloader...
now i have found this thread:
--eeeeek cant post links --
its referring to the TP2 but i thought i would give it a try!
i've done this sketchy voldown+power+usbcable+batteryplugin thing but no result, even after 10 attempts :-(
Since you removed the battery, are all the pins straight?
those 5 (2 1 2) pins are in good shape
i cant post a link yet, ill send it to u via PM

i got it!
my stepfather owns a HD2, too.
i plug mine into his docking station while i was on the phone with htc support... just because i was bored waiting in the queue.
after the phone call i tried once again to enter bootloader e voila => boooom 3 colour screen!
i dont know whats the reason for, but i flashed my custom rom as fast as i could and it works fine.
but even now i cant enter bootloader properly...for 10 times trying 2 times actually work!
in the WM Os its no problem, Vol-Down functionality is 100%
cant explain that to me,
i think u need some luck to get this issue solved
___EDIT___
now with my customrom i could easily enter the bootloader via software command
and therefore i downgraded HSPL to stock spl1.42.000.
after this i flashed 2.08.hspl again and NOW my bootloader is working as intended!
u see, once u can get into bootloader again, all your problems can be fixed.
without him, you're f*cked
greetings
i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].
Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.
Hello XDA! This is kind of long winded, but I'm at the end of my tether with this and all I want is a functioning GS2 back in my hands!
I have an international GS2 that i've owned since they appeared in the UK. I rooted it after a month of running stock and then started flashing ROMs pretty soon after that. I have flashed many many ROMs, all with success and no issue whatsoever.
However....
I now have a GS2 that boots into recovery, boots into download and will boot into a ROM. Once booted into a ROM, it will freeze, either instantly or after a period of minutes. The screen becomes non-responsive yet the ROM seems to function, calls come in and continue and it still connects to a PC to browse storage etc.
I've wiped and flashed a multiple of ROMs - CM, RR, PA, multiple official stocks. Followed all the install instructions as per usual. Never took any shortcuts or whatever.
Inbetween all this the power button stopped working. Took this to my local store, they showed me the water damage, they replaced the button and that was rectified, working again.
So....basically no ROM would work properly at all. I assumed that this was a soft brick of some sort and gave up hope of getting this fixed myself. Took it back to the phone shop, explained the issue and he said it should be repairable, good chance it was just a software issue and that if worst came to the worst it would go on the JTAG and be flashed back to stock and I would lose everything but have a working phone.
Obviously the phone was picked up today and it's still the same. Boot into stock ROM and pretty much freezes instantly.
The phone shop dude said he tried a new screen to see if that was issue, it wasn't. They tested all the connections on the board and there where no shorts apparently. They had it on the JTAG multiple times, that didn't fix it.....
Doe's anyone have any idea what could be the cause. Do I just let it RIP or is there a chance someone out there can fix this.....
Thanks in advance and sorry for the rambling post. I thought I better lay out all that's happened with the phone and the work that has been carried out on it.

Did they check the battery?
I assume they did.
Nuke scripts can clean all previous ROMs leftovers and format system will get your device all cleaned up.
If those 2 don't work, hardware it is, swap shops and see.

Could be a GPU issue. If it is then you will need a mobo replacement or replace GPU if possible.
Alternatively you should do a complete clean install or rom which means make sure all the old files and partitions are cleaned before installing a rom. First simply try using a rom/kernel cleaning script and the flash custom or stock rom. Another way would be to format internal and external sd cards via CWM and then flash rom.
If you still have issues after doing above then you have a hardware issue and will need new mobo.
I got a new xperia active st17i yesterday, it was on gingerbread fw.
I used flashtool to unlock the bootloader. I reset the phone but it hung on the sony logo, which was odd. (I have unlocked and flashed around a dozen xperias and this has never happened). I pulled the battery and turned it back on and it boot looped on the sony logo. (left it for several minutes to be sure). Every time it was switched on after that the screen powered on but remained blank.
I flashed the Rage kernel for GB. Turned the phone on and the sony logo came up, went bright, and I got into CWM recovery ;0) all good I thought. I rebooted the phone. It started up, the sony logo came up, went bright, the animation started but then crashed/hung. I left if for a few minutes and nothing, so I pulled the battery. After this, no screen function at all, no back light, completely dead. ;0( When I power on the phone it vibrates and after a few seconds the front led flashes blue and goes out.
Fast boot works, Flash mode works, Flash tool lets me lock and unlock the phone, flash kernels (rage/X-kernel and Lupus) and ftf firmwares ... S1 tool sees my phone, pc companion updates the phone perfectly, but still no screen.
I read the other ST17i bricked threads here and looked at trying the Wotan server method but the phones date code is not covered, its newer than the ones Wotan cover (maybe an issue?).
I have not idea right now, apart from I have hard bricked it somehow. (searching for 'st17i dead screen' gives a few results from Sony's service forum with similar sounding phone activity, with no resolutions). Searching for bricked st17i all relate to soft bricked devices.
As the phone is brand new, I am not sure about the bootloader issue, is it still covered by warranty? The phones current state is locked and fully updated via pc companion, as it was out of the box.
Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated!
Fixed!!! ... (see edit)
I started from 100% scratch. I use an old laptop with winxp to do all my phone work. I did a factory reset on it (begrudgingly) and reinstalled everything*. ADB, flashtool, drivers/kernels etc. (Its now working a lot better I have noticed).
Bear in mind my phones state was factory stock ics 4.1.B.0.587 and locked.
I unlocked the phones bootloader in flastool, it turned on?! Resurrected.
I flashed the ics rage kernel and installed a custom rom, backed up x2 ;0) I AM HAPPY :0D
I honestly tried everything methodically beforehand, hence my post!
*Is it possible to install a corrupt zip? I noticed when downloading files that some were showing as downloaded but were not the correct file size. I only noticed this when grabbing a kernel file, its size was around 6.7mb but the file I had on my desktop was 633kb, it unpacked and came up with the correct size of 6.7mb? (downloaded on my main work laptop with windows 8.1). I had so many bits and pieces on my xp laptop, swapping files from usb pens etc I will assume this could have been my issue!
lol... I must have spent near to 6+ hours reading about tespoint method flashing, TA restoring/backup up, and a whole range of other bricked device issues... I am educated a little bit more now, in more ways heheh...
Update....
The phone worked for about 30 minutes and then a blank screen again. No CWM, because of blank screen. Had fastboot and flashmode still.
So from scratch again, I relocked and flashed with original ftf CE (I have two CE ftf's of different sizes (will need to do homework on these)). The phone was still dead? When plugged into my pc (tried all three USB ports), sometimes when in fastboot/flashmode the device keeps connecting/disconnecting randomly, which is definitely wrong. Possibly my problem is a bad port or maybe the micro usb cable, or loose connection somewhere? Irdk? So now I tried a brand new sony, original, cable and all seems fine again. So, used flashtool to unlock, flash kernel, get to CWM, use my backup and the phone is working again.... but for how long? There's definitely an issue with the ftf files (mabye something to do with my corrupt file size problem? Will go to another place to grab these from and if the phone goes off again will try). odd.
**last edit**
The phone is now running okay. I had a dud battery, which I was using/swapping between several phones that I was returning to stock. It was showing 100% charged but upon disconnecting USB the phone died. Took me the best part of two days to figure that one out... I know! (I'm very busy). So it was possibly the bad battery all along!
