A few months ago (around March), I bought a refurbished HTC 7 Mozart, and up until today it's been working absolutely perfectly. This morning, I noticed my phone was off, and when I turned it on, I was greeted with the message "Memory card not found", followed by some text saying that I need to replace the card...
I initially tried a factory reset by pressing both volume keys on the boot screen to no luck. I then followed Andy Hamilton's guide to replacing the micro-sd card, After removing it, I tried reading it with my PC, but it wouldn't detect it, therefore I replaced it with another one (Kingston 8Gb Series 4).
After starting up the phone again and doing a factory reset, it initially worked, the phone prepared itself and all appeared to be working perfectly until I went to access my wifi network. I soon as I typed in my router's password and pressed confirm, the phone freezed up and crashed. It then went back to being like before, and factory resetting it won't repair it, nor is the phone recognised in Zune so I can't restore a back-up. What to do I do know?

I'm currently facing the strangest problem with my himalaya ever since i bought it 1.5 ago.
I upgraded 2 weeks ago to the WM2005 edition. everything was smooth and fine until today. i decided to do a normal reset so that i can "Refresh" the memory. after the reset the startup screen showed up as usual. then the screen went white (or black after the backlight turned off).
nothing on the screen what so ever.
I tried to do a hard reset (to reformat the rom) but my attempt failed. actually the files on the rom were NOT erased.
I thought to myself , reinstalling the WM2005 rom from my pc would do the trick. i connected the device after putting it in (USB) mode (pressed power+ Reset+ DPAD).
twenty minutes passed as usual and it showed the congratulations screen. i did a hard reset again and again the same problem (it didnt even erase the rom).
I then downloaded version 1.75 rom from buzzdev, did the procedure again, it did install and format this time correctly , but still i'm getting the blank screen after the startup screen.
Note: the phone is fully functional in the background, i recieved calls and sms's without being able to see anything. it seems like a screen problem, but the initial startup screen is showing so that doesnt make any sense..
any help ppl is really really appreciated !!!

Have been running Artemis v311 NO and Android from SD card for about two weeks. All fine. Yesterday the phone started rebooting by itself when running Artemis. I've made no changes to the phone after installing Artemis two weeks ago.
Now it wont boot at all, screen shows "please wait, loading" Have tried both soft and hard reset but none of those works. (I get no response when holding down the keys)
Have tried to get an usb connetion to flash a new image but without luck.
Is it time to get a new phone or is it possible to fix this...???
Hey guys, this evening I've been trying to wipe an old T-mobile g2x and get it set up so my parents can use it as a remote in their living room for chromecast and whatnot.
I was doing a factory reset and clearing cache/formatting sd cards in Recovery mode because cyanogenmod wouldn't connect to the wi-fi network to let me login to my accounts (using it without a sim card). As soon as I did the formatting (I only wiped the sd-card contents, I have no clue how this happened)....all of these problems started and I've made zero progress whatsoever ever since.
But it's bricked....really hard. The symptoms as of now:
Persistant boot loop. The only thing that has shown up on the screen since it happened is the LG logo, and a charging battery if it's plugged in & not 'booted on' (which is when the LG logo pops up)
Recovery mode is completely gone. Button combinations do not work at all.
USB won't connect. When plugged into my computer, it only registers as "Unknown device" and no matter what drivers I install nothing changes this. This prevents me from using any sort of utilities that need a pc connection, as far as I've been able to figure.
I tried to find a way to get android to boot 100% from the micro sd-card since it's the only way I can actually get data into my phone it seems, but all the suggestions I've seen still require recovery mode to access. I have no idea what to do anymore. Does it seem like I'm pretty screwed? Should I donate my new brick to house builders?
Thank you so much guys, long time reader first time poster These forums have saved my butt so many times! Cheers :good:
I have had this device for a few months, bought it used in great shape. My daughter uses it and I fear she added something that is now causing the issues. The phone will shut off and begin boot looping, sometimes making it to the Verizon screen most of the time it doesn't. Eventually it will boot, sometimes it stays up a while, other times you can barely unlock before it reboots again.
Here are the steps I have tried.
1. Performed a factory reset
2. Performed another factory reset
3. Pulled the Sim and SD card, formatted the SD card and wiped it as well during another reset.
It is now in safe mode and has been on for a while. I looked around trying to find a factory 4.4.2 rom so I could reload it.
Is there something I am missing? Seems like a system file must be corrupt.
I'm on one trying to find custom Rom i have factory settings saved send me an email I'll send info

I've been very frustrated, its only been like 1 year since I bought it. First, I got bootloop out of nowhere after updating (I got bootloop just 1 week after i picked up the phone from service center, the audio jack was broken at that time), then the phone is not detected on any pc. I tried downgrading from SD card, and it works at first, then the phone restarted itself, then I got bootloop again. I tried the same method (upgrading and then downgrading) then it showed warning that the phone is in Red State when i entered Android Recovery. It says the phone is in Red State, it is corrupted and cannot be trusted, it gave me a link that doesnt solve my problem. The question is, is this the end? do I still have hope? or should I give up and let it die?
