Hi all,
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://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1415223
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.
But before I gather the courage to send it in to get fixed, is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
Aruim
So have u tried to turn it on with the charger connected?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e
Remove the battery and leave it out for a little while, then put it back in and plug in the phone and see if it will charge at all. Even if the screen doesn't show the charging animation, try turning it on after a little while on the charger.
Turn on and hold Volume Up to get into the bootloader, then try to get into fastboot if you can. If you can, try reflashing the recovery menu, then maybe you will be able to access it after that?
Just a few ideas from someone who doesn't really know very much about this sort of thing (thankfully).
Thanks for the reply guys!
Unfortunately the phone still isn't turning on at all, even after fiddling with the battery and putting it on the charger.
So now I may look into saving up and investing in a Sony Xperia S
Thanks anyway! And I'll continue posting if I do make any further progress!

Ok, so before the general populace of the forum, looks over this post thinking it's some noob who cant read through the forums to solve there own problem, i would like to say thanks in advance to anyone who can seriously provide some help.
Problem is as follows:::
1,)Phone is working fine using mini-winmo+cyan droid
2,) -PROBLEM- My android stops working, so now im stuck using a lite version of winmo
3,) Tried formatting the sdcard with the lite version winmo built in sdcard formatter, doesnt solve anything, dont exactly know what i was trying to solve with this step.
4,) I decide to get a nice fancy version of winmo, figured it would be as easy as just flashing it once n done.
5,)Decided on going with Ozrom, looked the best at the time.
6,) Run the ruucustom as admin, everything goes fine.
7,) -PROBLEM- after flashing the first boot leaves me stuck on the bootscreen.
So after all that i took the advice and tried to get back to the stock Tmous ROM, but as im typing this im still stuck on the Stick together screen, and also just for a control group i downloaded the latest HD2 cell winmo rom release, and that left me hanging on there version of the boot screen.
Same problem, different roms.. stuck on the loading/boot screen.
But, with the stock rom after playing around with removing the battery, simcard,sdcard and what have you i got the stock rom to boot!!!! I was so excited, i skipped the "How to use the on screen keyboard" tut and was typing in my email info when the phone reset on its own and all my hopes went down the drain... hopefully i will get some help on the issue, and like i said previously in the first paragraph i appreciate any and all help.
thanks.
---UPDATE---
Phone is on and working, intermittently.
When i plug the phone into the charger and wait for the amber light, it will boot up and actually enter into windows, now heres the kicker, removing the charger and using the phone will result in the phone turning off and restarting itself, hanging on the stick together screen.
Removing the battery, and replacing the battery after i push all the buttons, the same way you would power cycle a TV remote, and then connecting it to a charger is the only way ive been able to maintain the operation of the device.
Any ideas?
Try doing task29 reinstall winmo Rom of choosing.. see if that helps.. also I flash everything from bootloader. Also check battery pins make sure they aren't bent..

Hello, my HD2 started entering the re-boot loop probably because of overheating (I live in a warm country and it started showing problems during the summer). After that, I installed the new official rom from the HTC website (finding a SN online :S) after trying to install the new rom I realised I shouldn't have tried that since it wasn't made for my SN. Anw after that the phone is kind of dead, freezes at the HTC boot screen. I have installed HSPL 1.42 on it but I can't load any new rom (I enter the bootloader - that's the only way I can think of since I got lost in a zillion posts) When it starts loading the new roms into the phone I get a 276 error saying it can't finished the procedure. (after such an error on the startup screen I still see the HTC logo but this time with black and white stripes covering the screen). I can't seem to find something similar in the other posts, I hope it wasn't answered somewhere previously. Even if so please redirect me or tell me what else to try since I'm quite frustrated!.. Please explain thoroughly because it's been a while since I was into hd2 tech stuff. Thank you in advance!
PS: Can I somehow find what rom I currently have IF there is one installed? I'm lost here....

check the battery pins. ive read of people for whom it is possible to get into bootloader, and it seems like normal, but then it fails to load when trying to boot fully, usually a reboot loop.
forget about finding what rom is on there currently, its time wasted, really.
a better use of your time is using your serial to find out which rom the htc website will let you have, and flash that, from sd card preferably.
Why not just reset the phone, and start over?
found a good rom, installed it via sd card, still reboot loop. that make me think that the problem might be the battery pins. if so what's the solution?
same thing happend to me just adjust the pins

how do you adjust the pins? They're supposed to be straight right?

Hi,
Did you find any solution for that problem?
Thnx
When I bought my HTC One it already had a custom rom installed.
It was some stock android 4.2.1 nexus but with chinese interface and alot of chinese apps and recovery etc were all chinese.
So I couldn't do **** with this and tried to removing it and getting it back to stock HTC one rom.
After alot of tutorials online on xda and many others I couldn't find one that was easy enough for me to make it happen.
It was also my first time with a HTC. Never done it via fastboot/commandprompt etc.
I'd like to add that I am on a MAC aswell It took me a while to find a tutorial via mac but mine simply did not accept those commandlines which worked in the tutorials.
Afterwards I tried flashing it via recovery by installing from SDcard. Which is probably quite the stupid thing to do but I was angry and didn't know any other options since everything failed.
After It started installing stock rom from SD card it was stuck at a screen with "No command" A lying dead android with a red triangle above him and there was one line: Install /sdcard..
I was hoping he would install it but he didn't do anything and got stuck there.
I couldn't restart, couldn't get back to recovery, to anything nothing worked.
I waited untill battery life was drained.
Which happened and after batterylife ended and I put him back on a charger nothing happends.
Phone wont turn on whatsoever.
When I put him on a charger the phone blinks real quick to a white screen and goes back to black screen and still doesnt start whatsoever.
How ****ed am I ?
Can I get rid of this?
Can I still install that stock ROM that I so badly want?
Thanks
Hello everybody,
I am new here, but after many searches I found out that this forum can be quite useful. Unfortunately I couldn't find the answer to my problem. Here you go, I start very well for my first thread:
I just got a HTC one M7 international version GSM from a friend, very nice phone and it was already rooted and had Trickdroid installed on it. I started to talk to my friend and he told me I should install KIt Kat on the phone... and from there it went all wrong...
I tried to install a KIT KAT rom I found online, it didn't work and the phone wouldn't start anymore, I would just have access to recovery mode (CWM is installed) and fastboot/bootloader. From there, the phone wasn't recognized anymore by my pc when connected to USB. I then used a mini USB cable to connect a USB key with different .zip file to load them to the phone.
After many attemps, one file finally worked (all the other would abort installation), it was insertcoin M7 kustomizer... I know I should have had reloaded Trickdroid 11.0.0 on it, but it was taking ages to download and went the fast way... which was a really bad decision I guess.
After the installation of insertcoin, the phone rebooted and... rebooted...and keeps rebooting to the HTC white screen (with the red warning: this build is for...)... it goes on and on...
Only thing I can do is hold the volume down key when it reboots and then it takes me to fastboot/bootloader. From there when I try to go to recovery mode it goes to recovery mode for half a second and reboot directly to the white HTC screen over and over again....
Also, USB device is not recognized (but strange, HTC sync manager starts even though it tells me no phone is connected).
Now I have the Trickdroid 11 file ready (1.1GB) but there is no way to install it on the phone... I really don't see how to do it anymore, did I really screw up big time and my phone is more or less a dead weight?
I am going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the end of the week, maybe someone will be able to find a solution for me...
I shouldn't have touched a phone that was working very well....I know...
Nobody? So my HTC one is dead?
Is the all in one tool going to help? I installed it but since my phone is not recognized by the computer (windows 8.1) when connected via USB, I don't seem to be able to do anything...

This is all if you can find a way to get files to your phone...
I'm not sure which recovery you have but when upgrading from Android 4.2.2, and 4.3 the recovery you are using needs to be updated to the most current version. For example if you are running TWRP recovery you need to be running TWRP 2.6.3.3 for everything to run smoothly. In order to do this though you will need to download your original ROM (No matter how long it takes). Then go google play store and download goo.im and update you recovery with openrecoveryscript and update from there and you should be fine. I would also like to note that it's fully recommended that when you flash 4.4 KK you do a full wipe. This means userdata/cache/dalvik cache wipe, otherwise you will run into problems. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have anymore questions!
Thank you, but unfortunately I still couldn't find a way to access the files on the phone, no matter what I do. The phone starts by itself to the HTC white screen when I connect it to the main to charge it... I can only access fastboot/bootloader... I feel useless...
I feel your pain

After my htc one freezing on the 'quietly trickdroid' loading screen my phone will now not turn on, AT ALL! I think it's screwed : S
I just arrived in Kuala Lumpur and took it to a little shop, they told me they will fix it for me by tomorrow for 50USD... I'll let you know tomorrow if they managed to make the magic happen. I think they would reinstall stock, but that's fine with me, much better than a bricked "rooted" phone. It will take me a while before I start to screw up with a phone again...
Hello! I have tried to get help from here before but then i did not have much info about the programs i used for my phone.
Anyways, I have a LG Optumis 3D (P929). I rooted it as told, Got myself a rom ( i useClockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9).
Restarted into recovery mod and i did wipe out data/factory resetfollowed by Cache...
Installed this famous-for-not-working-file "XBSA404.ZIP". Not only me who's getting "Installation aborted" whitout any details why.
I have also tried out "ISC 30a" wich is supposed to be the stock rom. This one works to install but nothing happends.
It says it is mounting but as the XBSA404.ZIP once it comes to install it just jumps to complete?
It seems but i dont know if iits supposed to do that? It takes around 2minutes for this to happend..
Since i tried to install a newer version of android into my phone, everything is stuck at the startup logo. "Bricked" i think is the word.
Im new within this but i try to learn. Now i just want it to start and what ever i must do to get it to work again i am happy for any help with it.
I have looked for downloads with any working ROM and on this site all the links seems not to work.
I have done this tutorial via xda forum a several times without any good resaults.
Also.. once i try to start up in recoverymod the phone jumps into my logo and freezes. I press vol- home and power, releasing once the logo appears. Dont know if its me or if its the phone thats not working. No dmg to it what so ever but i have to repeat this a several times before it comes into recovery mod.
Please help!
Did you backed up your phone's ROM?
else, I think you have to find someone that have the same phone as you are and back its ROM then use that back up ROM to your own phone
*fellow people out there correct me if i am wrong, thanks"
