Ok, so i have seen many people on xda saying there htc phone is bricked blah blah...
this is to explain what brick you have, what is causing it, if it can be fixed, how it can be fixed, and what to do if it is completely bricked!
BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I WOULD LIKE YOU AFTER YOU FINISH READING THIS FIX TO STOP AND CONSIDER HITTING THE THANKS BUTTON AS IT WILL HELP ME AS MUCH AS THIS GUIDE POSSIBLY HELPED YOU
also i am open to ANY questions, help or anything needed by the community! so if you need something, be sure to comment!
first i will explain the definitions of a brick-
HARD BRICK
a hard brick (also knows as a hardware brick) is when your phone doesnt turn on and when adb and fastboot dont pick up your device as you have damaged hardware on your device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SOFT BRICK
a soft brick (also knows as a software brick) is when your device turns on but gets stuck at bootloader, recovery, htc logo, bootlogo etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OPTIONS FOR A HARD BRICK-
there are a few options here.
1ST OPTION- riffbox jtag repair, this is a repair by manually pumping firmware into your phone with a riffbox connected to a jtag connected to your phones motherboard
method for this is a difficult, yet money saving process, but may not work all the time.
HOW TO RIFF
1. buy a riffbox and the required jtag for your device
2. install the firmware that comes with the riffbox
3. extract the motherboard from your device
4. connect in the following way (<computer><riff cable><riffbox><jtag cable><jtag><motherboard>)
5. run the software that came with the riffbox
6 follow prompted instructions by riff firmware
7.DONE!

2ND OPTION-
1. buy a new motherboard
2. replace the motherboard
HOW TO REPLACE MOTHERBOARD
1. open your device and extract the motherboard(chances are you can find it on youtube)
2. replace it with the new motherboard
3. DONE

Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3RD OPTION(ONLY IF OPTION 1 AND 2 DO NOT WORK)-
buy a new phone
or buy a motherboard, and a new lcd screen as you have fore then likely overclocked your processor, and over volted your lcd screen and blown it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OPTIONS FOR A SOFT BRICK
a softbrick is 99% repairable with a htc phone, as htc has a more then simple way of operating
it needs the following to run
1st you need a hboot
2nd you need a system image, data image and boot image. ( i say all three of these because your phone wont boot unless you have all three)
3rd applications
so now we identify your problem!
if your phone turns on and goes straight to recovery or bootloader, even after you have tried rebooting into system this is what you do!
the problem is cause by not having a system and data image.
1. download a rom for your device
2. put the rom on your sd card(if you dont have an sd boot into recovery and push the file to your phone using my adb guide HERE
3. put your sd card in your phone and reboot into recovery
4. flash the rom.
5.DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if your phone turns on and is stuck at the htc logo then this is a problem with the boot.img, heres what to do.
1. download the rom you have and open the .zip file on your computer, then extract the boot.img from the file and put it somewhere on your computer
2. connect phone to computer
3. read HERE to learn how to flash the boot.img
4.DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if your phone turns on and goes straight to bootloader and you cant get into recovery then this is caused by not having no image files flashed, and heres how to fix it.
1. boot into bootloader
2. select fastboot in the bootoader menu
3. connect phone to your computer
4. download a recovery for your phone and read HERE how to flash it
5. boot into recovery
6. download a rom for your device
7. put the rom on your sd card(if you dont have an sd boot into recovery and push the file to your phone using my adb guide HERE
8. put your sd card in your phone and reboot into recovery
9. flash the rom.
10. DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if none of those work then you might want to consider flashing an RUU file (FIXES ALMOST ALL ERRORS)
1. download the RUU for your device and CID
2. flash it
3. DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if not even that works, consider it a hard brick
HOPE THIS HELPED! AND REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS!

Hi, I have an HTC Thunderbolt that is not being detected by ADB or Fastboot but it starts up and is in a bootloop. Unfortunately I have not backed it up and I have stock recovery. I do have an SD card so if there is a way that I can probably put a fix on it and apply it through the recovery I would. Awesome guide BTW.

Hi!
My phone keeps staying on the startup animation.
I actually had a recovery installed, and in the memory there's a rom's zip ready to get installed... but I can't get into the bootloader.
Even if I press volume down+power button it goes on startup animation until the battery is totally drained.
I could even flash the RUU, but I actually can't select the fastboot mode...
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

recovery didnt flash, you arent bricked. just flash team win project recovery
Definitely not bricked, you probably just scared a whole bunch of people.
Follow this i had the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192245
when i open the fastboot.exe the adb shell windows (dos) opens and closes extremly fast no idea what it said
some people need to learn the definition of Bricked.
Bricked= exactly that the phone is now good for. a brick. (A.K.A: paperweight, doorstop, etc.) lol
yeah, just do what the others of told you, you'll get it squared away.

It is

that you need to type in cmd. You have to tell it where to flash (in this case the recovery partition).
Let me know if that works for you.
thanks for your help now i have recovery working my phone still wont boot up ill have to find a factory rom on the web
Your welcome. Glad I could help!
There is a rom in the development section. Not sure if it works though. You could run the RUU and then redo everything now that you know exactly how.
Have you tried a factory reset from the bootloader after getting the recovery to work?
just did a factory reset thru TWRP and its stuck on the HTC logo screen trying to boot up same issue as earlier Im not sure why my phone will not boot up. seems like only thing i can do is access the bootloader
How long do you wait before you decide it wont boot?
10-15 minutes should i wait longer?
Nah, that should be good. http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.phpt=1092957&highlight=ruu

Hello,
I 'm new to the android community and i'm so glad to be among you. So i rooted my HTC Desire X (with ICS) a couple of days ago using CWM recovery and now I want to install this DEODEXED stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40682127
(Note: I have CID:T-MOB101 and HBOOT 1.24.0000).
While rooting the phone i installed CWM recovery while the guide on the link demands to install TWRP. How can i install TWRP over CWM? Because while doing the steps of the guide i got stuck in the 3rd step(Command Prompt says:sending "recovery" but the process never finishes)...
Forgive me if i have forgotten any info of my phone, just let me know!
Thanks in advance,

Tried with the way above, didn't worked...
I tried this and it didnt worked, i also tried manually through terminal with no luck. As i said above the process gets stuck when the terminal says "sending recovery" and the bar on the screen of my phone doesn't fill. I 've been reading that there are some other users of HTC DX that have the same problem with me, that is they can't flash TWRP and finally they install CWM. Has this something to do with the details of my phone(CID, hboot, etc.)?
So can anyone help me on how to flash TWRP on my phone with CWM on it.?

1. Start your PC
2. Go in folder containing fastboot.exe and related binaries.
3. Download the recovery.img for (ICS or JB) as required.
4. Type this command in cmd.exe
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
5. Press power button so that phone goes from fasboot to hboot mode. Then press VOLDOWN and then POWER to boot into recovery.
Its a simple enough process, just try to be calm and do it one step at a time.

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but i just saw that when i boot into hboot the following message comes up:
"SD Checking

No Image
Loading PM66DIAG.nbh
No Image
Loading PM66IMG.zip
No Image
Loading PM66IMG.nbh
No Image or Wrong Image"
Then it disappears immediately and the normal screen of hboot comes up...
Maybe this has something to do, with me not being able to flash TWRP...
Any help?

I said to you thru PM... check whether you are at the correct fastboot usb screen. This SD checking and blablabla is hboot screen, fastboot flash won't work on hboot screen, only on fastboot/bootloader screen.
After this SD checking and blablabla screen, press power once to go to bootloader/fastbboot screen

All the times I've tried to flash a recovery i 'm on the fastboot/bootloader screen, which says Fastboot USB. I tried with neXus PRIME's way too but it didn't work out. I think i'm not doing anything wrong and don't know why it doesn't work...
Check/change your cable and also change the usb port (use usb2.0 instead of usb3.0) or try on other PC
BTW.. you also can use CWM to flash ROM... the only reason to use TWRP is it has a reboot option in recovery where you can select reboot to bootloader. So using CWM, you must manually put your device to bootloader after installing ROM.
But I suggest, you stick with your current ROM. That JB ROM is only for people who want to test how the JB ROM is. Most of them revert back to ICS

Most serious bootloops can be fixed my simply installing a new boot.img through fastboot. Here is a link on how to do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
After you do that. you can try installing a new recovery through the same process. Instead of flash boot.img, flash recovery.img. That should fix your problem. If you STILL keep getting bootloop, you now have access to recovery and can do a factory reset. Hope this helps! you can get the boot and recovery image from a stock EVO 3D Rom.

First of all, you don't need to access recovery to flash fastboot. What you need is the bootloader, which you can access by holding the volume down and power key. But, if what you're trying to say is that you can't access even the bootloader, then one of the limited choices is to download the EVO 3D RUU and flash a stock this way. If this doesn't work, you are one of 2 choices: adb-retarded or screwed. There is piratically no other way, than the choices listed. (IDK, maybe you can try to flash S-OFF with Jbear, and in the process fix your phone. I mean you have nothing to lose )

x 2. Also, (and just out of curiosity) did you happen to accidentally leave a PG86IMG.zip file inside your SD card? That could cause something like what you're experiencing too. If so, take the SD Card out, place it in a PC with a card reader, erase (or rename) the "PG86IMG.zip" file, reinsert the SD Card and battery, hold down the VOLUME DOWN and POWER button and see if you can get into bootloader/recover/fastboot menu

Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.

No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.
I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.
I'm signing off for a while. Good luck.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM

If you can't boot to recovery or even bootloader this is your guide

if you can still access bootloader then simply just boot TWRP from it, first download this full rom and save it on your SD card
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219
then go to bootloader if you can still access it and boot TWRP
fastboot boot [whatever your twrp name is].img
you can download modified twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16464
then once inside TWRP just install the FULL ROM that was downloaded and saved in the SD card/
My phone boots into fastboot ok but there is no recovery wont boot. I try to flash recovery and it says it cant because not unlocked tried unlocking bootloader says its sucesfull but phone wont get bast boot logo.
Hi guys, after 10 hours of trying to get my P760 to life I finally, as a last resort, decided to open this threadh. Heres the deal, my friend gave me his P760 which was stuck at the boot logo, I firstly tried to fix it with LG mobile support tool but it got stuck at 15% after countless tries. Then I tried fixing it with Lg flash tool but it also gave me some errors "omap factory download fail lg p760". After that I couldnt access S/W mode anymore nor did the phone turn on, only black screen. When I connect it to my pc it just makes sounds of new device connected/disconnected. I tried this fastboot method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 but couldnt make it work. Is the phone completely dead or is there anything more I can try? Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.
What was done to brick it in the first place?

I am not sure, my friend brought it to me and he didnt know the reason. Anyway I managed to get into fastboot on another computer and i tried to flash x loader and uboot with the bulit in options and i get the following error "FAILED (remote partition doesnt exist). What can I do next? Thank you for the reply.
EDIT I have tried to get the phone in S/W mode using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4 but I couldnt do it.
I am sure I have to flash something in fastboot so it would be great if someone could point me to exactly what. Thanks again.
EDIT 2 I tried to flash xloader and u boot from post #7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242444 and it gave me the remote partition error failed again. Is the phone "officially" dead?
My experience with this phone is that it is basically unbrickable, at least software wise, thanks to omap4boot. Fastboot is basically telling you the partition you specified doesn't exist. Check you are using the correct syntax. It should be fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img and fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img (I am assuming the files are named u-boot.img and x-loader.img).
Another possibility is that the partition table of the phone somehow got corrupted. In my opinion this is very unlikely, but it could happen if the phone is disconnected while flashing the GTP table with LGFlashTool. Let's hope that's not the case.
Good luck.
@EdwinMoq thanks for the reply. I checked and I was using the correct syntax altough the files were named p1 and p2 both in bin format so I typed fastboot flash u-boot p1.bin and p2.bin respectively. Ive just noticed that they are from ICS and I am not sure what android version was installed prior to the brick. Can you point me where to find the JB files so I can try them if it makes any difference.

I don't think the u and x boot version makes any difference. The fastboot script here comes with with the files for both p760 and p769. Or you can ask a p760 user with the jb boot to dump them and post it here.

Well using that script was the first thing I did after I couldn access S/W mode and I got the partition error, I tried both ICS and JB. Well it would be great if someone could dump their JB boot so I can try that, if it doesnt work I guess Ill throw the phone away

I'm seeing you using lelus method to fastboot...
1) Be sure you are in fastboot whith this command: fastboot devices
2) if the l9 is still in lg logo, just flash a recovery img into boot and recovery partition:
a) fastboot flash boot recovery.img
b) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img3)reboot the device, it must enter in recovery mode by force.
4) once in recovery just flash a custom rom as you wish
Yes i am using lelus method and I see the device when I enter fastboot devices, the phone wont turn so there is no lg logo and I can not enter S/W mode. Where can I find the recovery.img and boot.img ?
EDIT Okay I tried this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585161 but when I issue the erase command it just gives me the remote partition error again. The chances that this is a hardware issue are pretty big.

A few tricks that might help:
-After a failed attempt to enter D/L mode via the volume key, force hard reset. Then switch on phone for an extra time and perform the hard reset again. This really makes a difference.
-If after unbricking the phone with a stock rom the puny LG recovery dialog resides on screen, perform the stock rom installation for a second time, phone should perform a normal boot then. Otherwise there's trouble with rooting and TWRP installation later.
-Fastboot still does not work for me(all?) in Win10, as it didn't in Win8.1,but did in Win7.
The only method to go on seems to root stock rom with Kango Root or a similar tool, then install Twrp, with Rashr or flashify.

Thanks for the reply. How do I perform the force hard reset? Yes, I couldnt get fastboot to work on win 10, on win 7 it works flawlessly.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my p760, fastboot works so far but remote partition error and the phone stays always completely black.
Is there someone who has a new idea to fix it?

Elsewhere you must need a technician with a box like octopus box to recompone ESD partitions of the L9 phone
Hard reset is 10s power.
Such a swap of recovery and kernel could have happened after unbricking the phone, when the key combo for fastboot produces the LG recovery. That's why I flash stock twice, then it's right again & ready to root, install TWRP etc.
Thanks for the help guys, I tried everything possible...I think I did, but the phone just wouldnt unbrick so it is going into parts. Thanks again.

Srsly?
recovery partition image on boot?
Probably true. That would explain the strange behaviour of the key combos during boot, after unbricking the phone for the first time. The recovery has replaced the kernel, but the phone can still boot. Strange. Fastboot is unavailable, and the key combo for the recovery shows the "dead droid" and performs a factory reset.

Yes... is an effective method to boot by forced on TWRP or other recovery and then proceed to format all partitions and flash any rom consecutively. After flashing any rom the boot partition is rewrited by the boot.img of the rom.
I did this before on my own L9 for repair and other friends devices. Is totally safe
By the way, I'm not in warn
