After ROM upload my HTC Hero show only some logo like device out of box. Nothing else is going. Button combinations for bootloader access is not working. Any ideas?
I managed to skilfully brick mine too, is a there a way to get it to boot up via key combination or using USB from a computer?
We are three now.
I know (presumably) my error: I flashed an SPL zip package that could be of the wrong type (Dream).
The boot shows the phone logo (mine says G2 T-Mobile).
The home keydown at boot doesn't work.
Is there a possibility to unbrick it?
Hope someone tells you how to unbrick it as I was about to do the update the ROM, not sure I want to do it now.
Right this is very weird as i had the same picture on my phone and thought it was bricked too..
BUT i just did a soft reset call menu end together. Then i did a hard reset as i wasnt sure if the soft one had done anything. Battery out then in and start up phone whilst holding down house and back key and then it started to boot up. So not sure if this helps anyone i doubt it as its very random but i thought id share just in case!!!
I had just flashed my radio when mine did this..
friend of mine had tha problem too, he had to send his device to htc.. 50 bucks ;-)
hmmm ... i am one of u guys now ...
no matter what key-combo i press, it just show a BOX and an arrow and a phone ... 3 sec later, phone turns off, no matter hwat key u press, it is not doing anything until u unplug the batery ... then when u turn it on, it repeat the same thing again
check if you can access fastboot via back+power when the phone is off. if so install recovery image and then install correct rom. if not i guess you're screwed, not sure though.

(for someone to help you)
Hello people, thanks for reading and trying to help in advance hehe
ok here it goes ....
i bought a galaxy tab 10.1v "Australian Vodafone Version" a while back, and since me and other users that own this pices of **** didn't get updates and stuff i decided to "unlock+Root+rom". I did that successfully after following guieds:
unlock :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793
root+room: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079781
Everything wsa fine and i had the super user and everything, but in the second guide it says it is recomended or something like that to download ROM Manager from the market which i did, and i started the app and and did a backup. My Tab rebooted to a blank screen , i waited for a while but with no luck so i turned off and tried to go to DW mode or recovery mood so i can at least connecte it to odin3 and do something. When press V- + Power theres no DW nor recovery mode all i see is one smmall line on the left top corner that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
When i plug the usb into my computer nothing happenes no sound , no new device installing no nothin. but since i have been reading alot regarding this issue, i read something about APX mode and NVflash here and many other websites but i followed this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
i got my tab connected but i couldn't do NVflash because whenever i do
"--sync" or "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"
i get this :
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
some say that that means the device is locked eventho i pretty sure it not because i had the lock logo. anyway ...
just to answer every possible question in advnce and give more info :
*its a 10.1v "Vodafone Australia Version"
*was working fine after root/rom
*stoped working after using the app "ROM Manager" (i think its not compactible)
* the device on somekinda boot loop, the screen would turn on and off "blank screen with nothing in it no sound also"
* pressing Volum down + Pwer will taking me to a blank screen with one little line that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
*when i plug the usb to the computer nothing hapenes
* in APX mod is working but i cannot do anytning since the NVflash won't work.
* I followed everything step by step
Does that mean my device is useless ? is there anyway to get it back to life ?
Thank you and sorry for the spilling mistakes as im using a F'ed up keyboard
one more thing i did :
I let the battery drain overnight and pluged charged it again hopeing that will help, the battery logo won't even show up, just a blank screen
thanks

Hi Barry. Welcome to XDA. One quick suggestion: If you want to get help in an enthusiasts forum, don't call the object of everyone's affections a "pices [sic] of ****."
We all understand the stress of having non-responsive electronics; but you'll catch more flies with honey...
***edit. Wrote some stuff for you only to realize that you're on a 10.1v. Not sure how I missed that in your title (and thus, I suppose I can't comment on whether or not it really is a POS!). Until just now I never realized how different your tab is from the regular 10.1 (guides are much more difficult to follow!) Anyways, I found these threads that might be useful to you:

i apologize for that, but i was referring to my tab only ... anyways
thanks for your reply and for the links you gave me .. but still the biggest problem is i'm unable to connect my tab to odin, and downloading mode and recovery mode are not even there .. theyre all gone, only APX mode is working and even with that, NVflash won't work and i would give me this error
"Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)"
if i could connect to odin i could actually do something, or even NVflash i could run bootloader and it would install image files and all.
i'm not sure if i can do anything with APX other than NVflash .. or if i could somehow bypass Nvflash error ..
i just have a feeling that my tab won't make it
Just an idea... did you try to do the work with another pc?
For example a fresh XP 32bit install on another pc.
This "usb write error" seems strange.

Its like not writable, ill install a freah xp pro and givr it another try since i tried only win win 7

When i charged it after i drained the battery, the screen light will turn on but no battery logo or anything.. The only thing that would show up on the screen is when i try to enter downloading mod/recovery mod by pressing power+volume is a little line on the top right corner which says : " booting recovery image# "
thank you for your reply, what do you guys recommend since i can access APX mod, will i be able to do anthing other than nvflash in APX mod?
Since you are getting a usb write error as well as no charge indicator, is it possible that your USB cable is bad?

when i charge, the tablet does charge but no Battery logo, i can tell its charging because the screen lights will go on.
what i have tried so far :
* installed APX but when i try to nvflash it says something like writing failed
* tried both windows XP and windows 7
* drained the battery twice for 2 days
* changed USB cable
* tried to connect it to different versions on odin but computer only recognise the device in APX mode
* device still showing ( booting recovery kernel image#) when a try to access DW mod.
it all started when i used a backup program after rooting it, i don't get .. is its a backup it shouldn't delete everything (the system) and brick the tablet...
whats Kernel ? << noob
any new ideas guys ? is there any other programs/methods out there ?
anyone have the same problem ?
thanks

When it says booting recovery kernel image, did you try to just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to find out if it boots again, or try logcat command?

** update **
Today i disassembled my tab after i read somewhere in this forum that i might get it back if i take the battery out or unplug the screen cables. Some claim that the touch screen could cause the tab to go into a boot loop; however that didn't work
i decided anyway to buy a new tab either Asus Transformer or Galaxy 8.9, even tho I'm kinda worried that this thing could happen to my new tab when i try to root it and install roms. I don't want to spend that much money until i figure out the problem, so i'm making this tablet "A testing Device" i'm gonna test every possible way to revive it for me and and others. I'll do my best with your help guys to solve this so we can provide help for others.
There was a Guide here in this forum about JTAGing that tablet along with a software that some company use to unbrick devices but i cold not find it, my cousin owns a hardware store and i could use everything i need .. i just need someone to guide me.
Thanks
Sounds like a cool project, sorry it cost so much.
zBarry, You should try this while you can, It sounds simple as it is but it worked for both my tablets that had the 0x4 aka locked bootloader. Sorry if you had already "Lego" lized your tablet into pieces but this may help. :]

As far as I know linux won't help, what % is your tablet charge at? Since you've opened it already why not just de-attach the battery and reattach it back and try to power it directly into fastboot. Normally draining is the same as stopping the flow of current into the tablet. Unlike phones where you can pop out the battery you can't do it to the tab unless you've opened it.
Can you please let me know what steps have you tried so far? Would be nice to know in detailed So I can help you out at best.

i think i have third every possible way out there... and the steps that i did to revive the device your way was :
i taped the power button and left it for like 2 days, then i plugged it to the computer in APX mode to check if its drained or not, but i think it was charging off the computer. So i repeated the first step and left it for 3 days, then plugged it into the socket. after couple of mins the screen turned on, but no logo or anything, just black screen (same issue). i decided to disassemble the device to take the battery out which i did and yet same result. i had hope so i re-did the battery drain thing and left it for a week and when i plugged it i pressed pwr+ vlo + and something.
my tab turns on, but just a black screen it won't that up, and power + volume up will show me a kernel message.
thanks so much, i aprreciate your trying to help any other way you think i should try ?
What sort of kernel message do you get? As far as I know maybe perhaps the contact's arent touching properly? Seems to me you did everything right but when it turns on you don't get the charging icon.
The good part is the display works and atleast you can boot up *Somehow* the bad part is you can't get it into Fastboot mode.
As far as I know the tablet is supposed to light up but have you checked if you get the offline charge icon (That green battery that sits in the middle of the screen and charges?) once you get it to drain/disconnect you should leave it to charge via wall socket for about 5-10secs for that icon to pop up. If you get that icon atleast then you know you are getting somewhere
I wish I had the tablet in hand so I could see what's going on. The whole oceans away solution makes it hard to guess what's happening
Hi, I believe my MoPho is bricked and was just trying to see if there were any recovery methods so that I would not have to send it off and lose files I had stored on my internal SD card. My problems started after I left my phone on the charger. I came back to see that it was stuck on the bootloader screen and wouldn't go any further. I was running j0kersax's MIUI ICS build and hadn't had any trouble with the rom prior to this. I've tried entering fastboot, rsd, and android recovery through the vol down+power method, but when I do it always freezes; either while I am scrolling the menus or waiting for it to boot into one of the aforementioned modes. At one point I was able to get to fastboot, but when I attempted to enter it, an error message came up saying something like "the battery is too low to flash", so I attempted to charge it. However whenever I plug it into the A/C adapter it simply starts up and stays on the boot loader. So is it possible to recover or is my photon a vegetable now?
Maybe you should SPF back to stock. You can find the release keys anywhere. This video is helpful: :victory:

thanks for the suggestion, but I can't even get the battery to charge so that I can even attempt to do this. I've accepted the brick and I'm just going to go to Best Buy and order a replacement. Thanks again.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Right now, my battery is dead, so I can't flash anything to help fix my problem. My theory on how to get this working again is to charge the battery or borrow someone elses battery so there's enough charge.
Anybody think that'll work?

I've tried a battery swap and now it won't even power on. I've yet to order a replacement, so for now I'm on an Evo.
I am kind of having the same issue I tried to flash CM10 just a few moments ago and it wont flash!?
I have flashed CM7 to my Electrify before and was trying to flash over that. Now my battery is dead, I can't boot the phone at all.
What do I do!
I've done some searching and come up with nothing so maybe I'm overlooking something or I need help. I flashed the AOSP ROM and was attempting to clear out the SD card and make sure everything was in its place when I rebooted my phone only to be greeted with a LG logo for a second or two followed by a black screen and nothing else. The first thing I tried was to reboot into recovery and it didn't go. So then I tried to power the phone off and make sure I was hitting the combo correctly and got nothing. Again. So I'm scratching my head wondering what to do next. I though I might need to use LGNPST but I can't find a download for it (I will join the IRC and get it that way if I need to but I wanna be sure before bothering anyone in there). What do I need to do? Am I SOL? Is there anything I can check for to see just how bricked I am? Thanks for the help and I'll keep looking while I wait for replies. I appreciate it, guys.
Edit: After LGNPST was giving me a hanging boot animation I did a hard reset with vol down and power. It prompted me to reset, I did that and now everything is working. Thank you all and hopefully this can help someone else in the future.

Yes, I can.
Went ahead and found LGNPST and the instructions to use it. It should all put me back where I need to be but if it doesn't for some crazy reason then I'll bump the thread.
Alright, I thought LGNPST would work but I'm missing something apparently. I'm getting a reboot at 67%, which is normal, and then LGNPST jumps to 85% which I assume is also normal. After that the phone does the at&t boot animation and sound and then it just hangs up at "Rethink Possible" with LGNPST saying it was disconnected and to cycle the power (which I have tried, and I also tried just letting it boot, and rebooting and letting it boot and they all yield the same results). What is going on? What am I missing here? I've tried on a desktop running XP and a laptop running Windows 7 and the phone is still booting to the animation and seems to be working alright from a hardware standpoint so I don't know what the deal is. I'm gonna keep trying but any help or troubleshooting steps I should try would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry for the triple post, as well. I just really would like to get this fixed tonight so I can sleep haha.
Edit: I'm gonna charge it while I sleep and see if anything changes. It will charge and I charged it for about 45 minutes before trying LGNPST after I found out it would charge. When it first came on it said the battery was too low and it needed to before booting so maybe that's my issue with it booting the new rom or finishing LGNPST. To get to where I am all I did was flash AOSP coming from SnowJB (the LGOG version, NOT the N4 conversion version) and tried to clear out my SD card. I'm guessing that's where I messed something up but it could have been anything, including a hardware failure. I've read about a lot of folks having a similar issue with no resolution and either saying they'll return it or the thread dead ends and nothing else is said. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it and if charging helps then I'll report back as well so as not to leave anyone hanging if they stumble upon this thread and need help. I also think it's time for a LGNPST thread with links to the program and steps on how to use it and all that jazz to culminate all these issues. I'm not sure why it has to be so hidden and hard to get to.
LGNPST can't be shared publicly due to legal reasons. To get your phone to boot try a hard reset. From powered off state hold volume down and power buttons. When screen appears select reset.
Edit...If that doesn't work your miscellaneous partition may be messed up, Shelnutt2 on irc can help with that.

Hi all, I have tried to unlock my galaxy S3 gt i 9300, which is locked to O2 UK. I live in Ireland and bought the phone from a guy on e bay. I got the unlock code from two different sources and both are the same, but neither will unlock the phone, I have tried the unfreeze code too but it gets me nowhere. Entering the keyboard codes does not work either. The firmware baseband version which is on the phone at present is I9300XXUGMK6, the build number is JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5, I feel that if I can get the phone back to it's original O2 UK firmware then I might be able to unlock the thing. My problem is that I have found I9300XXALE8_I9300O2UALE5_O2U to be the original firmware, but the link to it from every site is dead and I cannot download it, all the links were to hotfile and we all know what became of it. If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I might unlock my phone then I would be more than happy to try them.
Best wishes Wez
Flash the latest o2u, root it with cf autoroot, nvdata unlock method. Do not attempt to go back from 4.3 as you will half cabbage your phone. The efs changed.

At the risk of sound stupid, I am going to ask one question, where do I find said latest stock ROM for my O2 UK S3, because all the ones I find are not on any link that works, they nearly all try to send me to hotfile, would seem that nobody has taken the trouble to put up any mirror download links, which has left me very frustrated. Hope someone can please point me in the right direction, because I have a phone which is of no use to me.
Best wishes and good luck Wez

Many thanks to all who helped with my problem, I managed to get my s3 unlocked, just need to get it rooted now and get rid of the stupid thing keeps going to safe mode when booted normally, but if I boot whilst holding the home key (the middle one at the bottom) then the phone will try to boot into download mode, I then hit the volume down button and hole the home key again, this time the phone reboots itself and will boot into a non safe mode. Though this is not ideal and someone needs to find a cure for this, it is better than nothing. Tried to flash the resurrection remix ROM, but it stopped when a bit was done and failed will try some other custom ROM when I get the chance, at the moment my phone is keeping going back to the recovery screen.
Will let you know what happens, best wishes Wez

To get out of the recovery boot lock I had to leave the phone with the battery out of it for about 5 minutes, I was then able to get into download mode, by booting with the volumes down and home buttons held. I then used Odin to reflash the stock firmware again, which it did OK.Then I needed to root the phone again so I did that. I then downloaded the Android Revolution DH-SGS3, moved it to the external SD card, rebooted into recovery and flashed it to the phone, but again the phone went into it's crazy recovery boot loop, at the moment I have the battery out of kit and will try replacing it now and booting into the new ROM. It appears to be booting into the rom now, it has been on the Samsung screen for a while now and I am hoping that it will boot into the rom given a little time, this being it's first boot. OK all booted up OK, the only problem that remains is the bleeding thing booting into safe mode, but lots of people have got that.
Happy days, best wishes Wez
I have never encountered that issue before. When exactly did the boot issue start?

The boot issue started after I had tried to flash with another rim, which I feel was not fully downloaded, at any rate the flash was abandoned and when I went back through the options and hit the reboot now, it went into the loop. I had to remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes, less might have done, when I reinstalled the battery, I went into download and using Odin flashed the phone with a stock rom and rooted it, then I flashed the android revelation rom, the phone again got stuck on the loop, this time I took the battery out the phone and left it, again for about 5 minutes, then replaced the battery and hit the power button and the phone booted into the rom, after a few minutes. I have been using this rom for a while now, but have noticed that for some reason the sound, for everything goes of completely, nit found a cure for that yet, but I am downloading the Echoe rom now, it will soon be finished, and I am going to flash it as soon as I can. I have the Echoe rom on my SGS4 and like it very much. I shall let you know if I have the same problem with this rom, when I flash it, the loop that is.

The boot issue started after I had tried to flash with another rim, which I feel was not fully downloaded, at any rate the flash was abandoned and when I went back through the options and hit the reboot now, it went into the loop. I had to remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes, less might have done, when I reinstalled the battery, I went into download and using Odin flashed the phone with a stock rom and rooted it, then I flashed the android revelation rom, the phone again got stuck on the loop, this time I took the battery out the phone and left it, again for about 5 minutes, then replaced the battery and hit the power button and the phone booted into the rom, after a few minutes. I have been using this rom for a while now, but have noticed that for some reason the sound, for everything goes of completely, nit found a cure for that yet, but I am downloading the Echoe rom now, it will soon be finished, and I am going to flash it as soon as I can. I have the Echoe rom on my SGS4 and like it very much. I shall let you know if I have the same problem with this rom, when I flash it, the loop that is.

The Echoe ROM flashed without any further loop and to my surprise the phone did not boot into safe mode, so an improvement there, with both. But the sound is still a problem. I have since the first boot had to reboot several times and the damned thing is back to the bloody safe mode. To get round it now I have to hold the volume down, the home and power keys, to take me to the screen for download, when there I push the volume down and the phone goes to reboot, in it's own, while it is doing that I hold the home button, the phones boots without going into safe mode. I have tried to do it the way I was before, but it is not working that way now, so got to go down the way of booting into the download screen, but at least it works.
Very best wishes and good luck Wez
Interesting.. it would seem that the issue lies with custom roms. Which recovery are you using? Cwm 6032 is a good recovery to start with, moving on to 6047. I had issues with twrp.
