Hello. My HTC Hero locked up, once again, and when I pulled the battery and tried to reboot, it got stuck in the white, HTC screen. I took it to a repair shop and was told that it has "water damage" and that can probably be fixed. They said as long as it powered up, they could reload the software, if needed. They would charge $25 to reload the software. Is that something I can do myself? I am not sure how to get it into recovery mode from that main white screen. Can anyone help me? I do not have the money to buy a new phone, and really need to get this one up and running again. I don't know if it matters, but my phone is rooted.
Thanks in advance!!!
More info plz
Try pressing the home button before turning and keep pressing 'til you get to the recovery screen then use the usb to move the rom to the sd-card and flash it.
Danger Rom 2.1, it is rooted. Clockwork mod is the recovery. Does that sound right to you? They guy at the repair store just called to say he has it working but he had to wipe it and install the software again. I specifically asked him not to do that knowing it is something I can do at home instead of paying $25. As long as it is powering up I can fix it, is that correct? I just have to get it booted into recovery?
Sorry i edited my first reply when i first read it was rooted .. my mistake are you sure the ROM was running ok? if not you may find loads of other ROMs and just flash them once you're in recovery .. gd luck
I just want to make sure I am in correct in saying, if I can get it booted into recovery, then I can get it up and running again? I shouldn't have to pay someone $25 when I can do it for free. What is the easiest way to boot into recovery?
Yes you can re-flash the ROM once you're in the recovery and that should fix your issue, the easiest way to get into recovery is
1. turn phone off (by removing the battery then putting it back)
2. press the home button and keep holding it
3. press the power button (while holding the home key)
4. that should have got u in recovery screen
Thank you for the info!!
Hi guys.
I usually can fix my mistakes but this time I'm stumped. I think I bricked my evo but I don't know if its soft brick or a hard brick. Based on the other posts online mine doesn't really match up.
Here's what I did,
It was late and i was doing a restore on a miui rom through my clockworkmod recovery and it looked to be stuck at the begining for over an hour which is a really long time so i pulled the battery in the middle.
Not smart but my phone came back on and i tried a few backups and it kept happening but i decided to pull the battery one last time and just flash something new but
This time it wouldnt come back on. Eek!
This is what it does,
It will onlyy power on if you plug it in and then press all the buttons. It will boot past the htc logo and then go to the begining of the miui boot animation and stops.
It will not get into fastboot or recovery by holding power and vol down, nothing happens. When you plug it in. The red light comes on for a few seconds then turns off so it wont charge either.
Im really stumped guys. I tried the hard brick guide
Here.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...k-guide-hard-brick-only-wont-turn-charge.html. and that didnt do anything.
HELP!!!
So, you cannot get into the bootloader screen at all, yet it does boot if you press all 3 buttons? I would pull the battery and let it sit for a while, The other thing I would do is leave the battery out, and plug it into a Windows PC, and see what devices show up. (Particularly within the first 5 seconds, just watch the device manager or the "new devices" screen to see what's showing up)
I would try
Code:
adb reboot recovery
That might get you into recovery in which you can do a superwipe and then flash a working rom.
If it doesnt try
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then flash an ruu.
It does show up as something when i plugged it in when windows tried to install drivers and ive taken the battery out like a hundred times but no success.
As far as adb method i wasnt finding a clear way to perform that. Is there a walkthrough that you recomend i try?
And thanks for responding guys
fixed!!!!

my phone is back on and i cannot beleive it didnt find it sooner!!!!
i hope this thread helps other users!:victory:
Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!

Yep i cannot even boot into anything no splash screen no nothing pressed the power button for like so long i even removed the battery for 2 hours and popped it back in not working
Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.
How the problem occurred
So a year or two ago I bought a Jiayu G4A/T/Whatever they're calling it and safely got it here. I've used the stock ROM for a bit but I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that was still on it, so I eventually ended up with a properly rooted phone with a ROM from Jiayu.es (Everything worked, have ClockworkMod as recovery, accessible via Mobileuncle Tools), which was essentially a stock Kitkat rom made to work for the phone. Now I got sick of the ROM and recently saw the new EMUI version on Huawei's P8 Lite, so I figured I'd look around for a tailored ROM running that, and ended up at "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" from Needrom.
What I did
1. I downloaded a ROM from Needrom with identifier "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" (I can't post external links)
2. Backed up my important files following a guide from androidcentral titled "[Guide] How to Backup and Restore Apps and Data when installing new ROMs" that I can't link,and did a full backup using CWM
3. Placed the ZIP on my internal SD card, went into recovery, wiped data/cache (not dalvik, since it wasn't described in the instructions, I think this might be a probable cause) and installed the new ROM from ZIP
4. Rebooted the phone and now it's stuck in the boot loop I mentioned.
What the problem is
Bootloops aren't that much of a problem usually, except this one is... I can't get into recovery mode. From there on it'd be cake, since I made the right preparations, but I can't get into it. While connected to my PC it keeps powering on, showing a splash screen from Jiayu.es briefly (which shouldn't be present anymore) and powering off after 10 seconds, only to come back to the splash screen.
What I've tried
I've unplugged it, removed the battery, waited to get a full power cycle and tried to hold my buttons in these combinations: [power button + volume up], [power button + volume down] - but neither work. It just keeps going with the boot loop. I can succesfully power it down, and when I plug it in from there it shows the low battery image. At the moment of seeing that I thought I could connect to it using ADB / Fastboot, but no luck there either. It keeps saying no devices found, and with fastboot it keeps on <waiting for device>.
My questions
What exactly can I do if there is no way for me to get into recovery mode? Are there any alternatives? How can I get my device to be recognized by ADB? Is that even possible? Why is this bootloop any different from others?
Update from the massive Q&A thread:
ZipAddict said:
Is it booting up on its own too after being off? This happened to wifes phone and it turned out the power button was stuck. I took a pencil and hit the power button with the eraser a few times and it worked then. Her case mustve dislogded it. I will keep my fingers crossed for u. If not send me a private message and i will look for an answer tomorrow and get back with u

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it does. I took the battery out and let it lay disassembled for a night, after which I cleaned it a little and re-inserted the battery. With the case back on, nothing happened, so the power button wasn't stuck for sure. When I powered it back on with the power button (no USB attached) it showed the emblem for ~8 seconds and powered off. It then buzzes to show it's powered on again and up comes the splash screen again. Could it be that the ROM was just a rebooting falsehood? Why would it disallow me getting into recovery mode? I really hope there is something that can still force the device into recovery mode / interact with it somehow while in this state.
Oh, I also tried to see if the volume down button was broken but all the contacts seem intact, plus, they worked an hour before I started switching roms.
