hey so i flashed the newest clean rom and tried to flash the logo menu button hack and after trying to reboot the screen is just blank. Any combination of buttons makes the bottom two buttons flash but nothing appears on the screen. Please tell me there is a fix for this. thanks guys
anybody?! ive tried using the RUU but my computer doesnt recognize the phone, it'll make a noise when i plug it in but wont recognize it
see what other people say...
but if nothing works out send it to HTC..i recently bricked my rooted ONE X ..could not find any answer on XDA and end up sending it to HTC..
came back working perfectly fine
i let the battery drain last night and plugged it back in and it showed the charging light. then i held the power button and the htc development software screen came on then it goes black again.
theres an mtp driving missing, if i can find that i think the ruu will work. ive downloaded the drivers from the tool kit and the htc sync manager but still no mtp driver found. any ideas?

Try:
- Put your phone into fastboot mode : power + volume down
- Reinstall HTC driver, uninstall HTC syn
Goodluck

so heres what i did, im not sure what i did when flashed the logo menu button kernel but it messed something up during the boot process and wouldnt let me use any button combo to fix it.
i let the battery drain, charged it up till i had a steady orange led light, held volume down + power and got into recovery and restored the backup i made before i flashed the kernel.
I'd still like to get the logo used as the menu button if anyone has been able to get this working on an AT&T htc one I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. thanks guys.

Logo2menu works fine. I'm unlocked s-off and rooted and I've used it on almost every Rom I've tried. It's enabled at the kernel level. Find a rom you like, then find a supported kernel then flash it and usually most kernels flash from aroma and let you pick from a list of features. Here's my last tip. Go to the regular HTC one forums not att HTC one. No one really hangs around here. It's the same phone...

Hi tehre, i'm having problems to get the phone into the download mode, i'm hoding the vol down key along with the power button, but the only thing i get is the phone showing Samsug vibrant and restarting over and over again.
Am i doing something wrong? I just downloaded an app from the market called wuick boot, i tried selecting the bootlader option, but same thing, the phone just reboots, and i get back to the phone menu.
Any help will be more than apprecciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is your phone rooted? I had the same issue and resorted to just doing it by using a terminal command on my rooted phone.
If you have a terminal app, just do this:
Code:

#reboot download

Just so happens I nearly bricked mine last night. Couldn't even get into recovery mode or see the charging icon when I plugged it in. Here's what I did (after much trial and error):
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
...and that got be from looking like I was dead in the water to download mode and a stock ROM flash.

Work for New Vibrant?
Hey guys, I have a new Vibrant, Im guessing its the new batch of Vibrant because I can't use the volume up+down +power to go into recovery or download mode. I just wonder if this also works for my version of Vibrant because I did a lag fix and it bricked me... Therefore if this works, I would be so happy that I will cry. =( I'll try it anyways, but if anyone have a similar device to mine, please let me know I would love to get some info on it. =( I just needs it to be in Download Mode to flash it with ODIN back to stock. =)
By the way, would you mind telling me what stock rom you use? and software to flash it? Thanks a lot! I appreciate all of your help! Im really desperate to get my phone back to work... its been showing up vibrant screen make a start up sound and go blank... so scary...

Did you remove the sim? Is the phone plugged into a pc via the usb cord? From my experience, the vibrant will only go into download mode if it's plugged to a pc.
I think I also got the new batch of vibrant. Maybe we should get a list of release date and serial of the phone. Maybe we might be able to figure out which phone can or can not use the vol down + power. Mine is 8/13/2010 rs 170-0412

I will try that as soon as I get the phone back. My cousin has it now and he's trying to look for methods to help me fix it too. =( So i will go get the phone soon and try your methods of removing everything. I just wanted to ask you guys to see if you guys had that recovery mode function (volume up _ volume down +power) disabled by T-Mobile. Because if all of you guys have the new batch of Vibrant then most likely mine will have a chance too. =) But thanks for the reply and the tip I will definitely follow all of your instruction and update further about this case. Hopefully it would work with your methods for the new vibrant batch. No one here seem to post much threads about the new batch.

Yeah I definitely got the new batch since I cant use that recovery mode function like everyone else here does. I also got mine in August, 8/28/10. I dont have the box and phone to see the serial right now since it was taken to my cousin house to try and figure out a way to get it into download mode. =( But from the looks of it, anything from August is disabled... wonder hows the July one. My brother has a Vibrant from late July, which is July 23, 2010 and his recovery mode isn't disable at all. =(
I had the same problem last night... thought I bricked... my phone was stuck at the vibrant screen.. and my phone is the newer model.... but I still figured out a way to get it to let me send an ADB command.. I posted a guide in the android dev section... let me know if that helps...

To get in recovery mode i have to hold the power button and the up vol until the vibrant screen comes on and goes out, then you SLIDE and hold both vols when the vibrant screen comes up (for the second time) you SLIDE to the vol down and let go of the power button. I did 5 times in a row to make sure this works. Hope this will help somone

I have another story. I bricked my Vibrant trying to go back to stock using Odin it hung on a step. The brick to where the (Cell Phone ! Computer) comes up. After 30 minutes of panic trying to get my phone to go into download mode. I opened Kies mini, unplugged my USB connector plugged it into a new USB slot then hooked up my Vibrant and re installed the drivers. It found it. But I still couldn't do anything. So then I closed Odin reopened it unplugged and then re plugged my Vibrant back in. It found it on a COM port so then I tried a restore from there and it let me do it. Wow! I am amazed at how hard it is to permanently brick this phone.
So i rooted the phone and installed froyo rom with clockworkmod recovery or whatever.. the phone was working fine but then i downloaded OCLF and clicked unroot the phone like an idiot. Still worked fine thoughh... i wanted to reroot the phone but then realized i couldnt get into recovery.. so i did a factory reset and now im stuck on a boot screen that says galaxy s gti 9000 and on the bottom it says samsung..
Just ODIN back to stock... and continue to do whatever you want from there...

Mine is BRICKED!!! OTA Friday got to 85% and went black. none combo of the Three Button Salute is not working at all. Odin can not see it.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is not totally bricked. Vibrants are very very hard to brick. Trust me, I have messed mine up more times than I can count,but managed to fix it. First off, can u tell me what windows version ur using, do u have the Samsung drivers installed, what button combination have u tried to get into download mode. I know you probably tried a ton, bit this will help me narrow down what will and will not work for you.

No download mode at all, no charging screen, nothing at all. Black screen! Power with plug in, Power and Vol up, Power and Vol Down, Power and up/Down. No luck. Running vista. I have used odin before with no problems.

Have Odin open and everything setup on the PC.
Then just take out the battery and make sure your phone isn't connected to the PC yet. Then wait maybe 5 seconds and plug your phone into the USB without the battery in the phone. Then press both volume buttons only and install the battery while holding both volume buttons.

I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4467471&postcount=13 but it didn't work. I'm a complete beginner. Any ideas? Is my device really bricked? THANKS.

Stay calm... it's not necessarily bricked yet
First thing i would like you to do is charge your phone to max!
Try and turn on the phone and hold to "On" key and "Home" key together for 60 seconds. If this doesn't boot you to recovery, try again one more time! It's happened to me that i didn't realise the button wasn't pressed all the way down.
If that doesn't work then let it boot as normal and even though it goes to the black screen don't panic.
Do you have any of the android tools installed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
See there for help on how to get adb up and running and then come back here.
Another thing i'm curious about while we're here... when you boot the device as normal.. connect it to power, the orange (or green) led at the top should be off for a few seconds while the hero boots up... when it goes to this black screen that you see.. does the light come on?

When my phone is off, the led is red. When I see that black screen, it is off... Is that bad??
Not necessarily.. it could just mean that it's not finishing it's boot up... let it charge for a while.
Your phone is most likely fine. You just confused it so it can't start up normally. We'll get you back in recovery mode and then you can reinstall your 2.2 rom.

Hi there
I'm assuming, that You know how to get into recovery, as You flashed a couple of things. Perhaps Your home key is broken
Question: do You have adb set up on Your computer? if yes - does it recognize Your phone ?
There is always option to run RRU...have You tried that ?

have you tried booting holding VOLUME DOWN?

Yes, I have ADB, but when I type adb devices, it only writes: "List of devices attached" (does that mean that it recognize my phone?)

Yes, it finds HEROIMG,zip, then loads it, then checks it, and adter that nothing happens - the phone still doesn't boot.
ok, volume down key response is good
ADB apears not to discover Your phone, probably drivers problem ;/
Look for RRU file it's used for factory reseting entire phone.
You can download it from HTC.com site.
With regards
brat.haneq
EDIT: go to htc.com site. look for downlaoding software for Your phone. You will have to provide Your imei. and You will receive .exe file - that You will have to run on Your PC. You can also look for it on this forum, they should be around here somewhere (or perhaps shipped roms.com)

When I enter the S/N in the htc.com site, it shows: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. I can download it from xda forum, but will this work?
Maybe there's some way to flash my recovery img via hboot (POWER + VOLUME DOWN)?
Try downloading usbdeview HERE plug the phone in,turn it on,leave it for 10-15 seconds for windows to recognize it...load usbdeview and uninstall and delete anything with android,htc,mass storage or adb in it thats showing as connected (on the right hand side) unplug phone......then download and install HTC Sync HERE let it install,then reboot (to be safe) plug the phone in and let its do its business,DONT let windows search and direct it to program files/htc sync/drivers (or similar) you should then have adb! If you dont it could be a problem with your misc.img i had this with my magic and fixed it with a post on this forum but will post it up if the first bit doesnt work

I tried to hard reset by pressing home/vol up,down/power button but the screen just goes black for about 3 seconds then the same "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile" screen come on and it just stay there. I also tried to plug in the phone to my laptop but the phone is not recognized anymore and nothing happens.
This is the only phone I have and I am lost. I really need my phone back. What do I need to do?

Okay, okay relax and stay calm first and foremost. I assure you, we've all been there (at least I have been lol). Needless to say, it sounds like you can fix this...which is good! I suggest you first head over to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and download the toolbox. Once its downloaded, install the necessary drivers if you have not already. After that, you need to get your phone into download mode. There are a few ways to do this, and people prefer going about it in different ways...I'd suggest taking out your battery, and then popping it back in and holding the power on and volume up button at the same time and hopefully it will boot into download mode (it'll be yellow). If that doesn't work after a few minutes, remove the battery again, pop it in and try holding the power, the volume up and the little "arrow up" soft key at the bottom of the screen and hopefully this time it will go into DL mode. Once you're in DL mode, connect your phone to the computer and use the toolbox to flash to stock. This will bring your phone back to factory conditions and you'll be set to go. Be sure not to remove your phone while its flashing back to stock until you are given the green light. Good luck!

You just need to find the correct combo. Try with phone off, holding volume up and down at the same time and then plug in the usb until the phone boots up into DL (hopefully). If this doesn't work, report back. If it does, go through the steps in my last post.

Another thing to try, pull battery, SIM card and SD Card. Then plug in USB to computer, plug in to phone, pop the battery in holding down volume keys (up and down) -- its a little tricky but you get the hang of it. It was only consistent way my phone would go into DL mode.
Same Problem

I rooted my phone the other day using super one click 2.3 and left it just rooted due to cwm in my rom manager app not showing my phone model for whatever odd reason. Tonight I did the most stupidest thing and decided to pick nexus 4G in rom manager and downloaded CM10 ICS rom from rom manager itself and as soon it finished downloading I pressed install with dalvik cache wipe checked and now my phone is just stuck on boot screen that say "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile"
I tried to hard reset by pressing home/vol up,down/power button but the screen just goes black for about 3 seconds then the same "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile" screen come on and it just stay there. I also tried to plug in the phone to my laptop but the phone is not recognized anymore and nothing happens.
This is the only phone I have and I am lost. I really need my phone back. What do I need to do?
please HELP:crying:

I have almost the same problem.
Did you ever get the phone to go into DL mode?
TIA
Wrong forum. Go to galaxy s 4G forum.

What exactly is your problem? Please list your device model and what ROM or stock android version you were using when issue began. Any other info you have would be helpful.

Your problem is the kernel is for the t959v galaxy s 4g and the ROM is for t959 vibrant. You can fix it in Odin with the stock firmware but we need to figure out which device you have. Do you have a stock front facing camera?

im using a samsung galaxy s 4g running on gingerbread (the latest version for this phone) I got the instructions for how to root my phone from youtube and everything was good until today when it just got stuck on the boot screen. how can I fix this. I need a professionals assistance for this.
This is the Samsung vibrant t959 (3g). It looks like you have the Samsung galaxy s 4g t959v. These are totally different phones, you need the galaxy s 4g forums, these files for the vibrant will not work on your phone. Find the correct forum on xda website and flash back to stock for the t959v

I have a htc evo 3D GSM device with
hboot 1.49.0007 and S-OFF
Yesterday i formatted the SD Card and i had some problems with it but i restored my stock rom through a nand backup
Today i had some problems while flashing SAD ICS ROM , i had clockworkmod recovery
I downloaded TWRP recovery and flashed it through clockworkmod
then i rebooted my phone to recovery and thats when my phone turned off and its refusing to turn on or charge (but Im sure that the battery is alive and the charger is not corrupt {i tried 4 different chargers })
I tried every single way on the internet but nothing works (i tried camera + power / i tried power for 15 secs without battery then putting battery back /i tried adb reboot-bootloader/i tried power+ vol down)
so i believe my device is BRICKED
please help me if there's anything i can try
and Thanks
i apologize for not having any help but did you try ..fastboot reboot? or adb reboot recovery? i will be checking this treat to get info for future problems
what does the phone do when u try to power on, and or when u vol down and power? also make sure u press vol down first then power. just a tip 3d buttons are not the best.

pull the battery out wait 10 seconds then put it back in ...now watch the red led light closely... try to turn th device on... does a faint red light appear then vanish? is so that is your phone trying to load the EMMC, kind of like the bios loading on a computer... if it does nothing after that youre most likely bricked... if you go to the CDMA development section for evo 3d';s there is a toolkit that you can use to unbrick your device...post back and let me know...also do not try the toolkit if youre a GSM phone...youll have to browse that section then for a tool to help you ...

No light appears at all
Did you ever figure it out?
Same thing happened to my phone this morning (I'm rooted, but still S-ON and hadn't tried anything lately). My battery was dying so I plugged it in on the car ride home, and when I stopped it was off and wouldn't turn on.
