Hello! My brother gave me this phone to repair it kind of. It is fully stock, and when I try to turn it on it either restarts on white screen, or restarts after when the home screen shows up. I went to rooting guides for the phone, and I only unlocked the bootloader. Problem now is that because of the restarts I can't put superuser.zip and cwm img on sdcard since I can't turn on the phone and connect with sdcard. Oh and I did factory reset twice it didn't fix it. Is there any way to fix the phone?
Well now I succeded installing new rom and recovery from SDcard because I put SDcard in another phone. Thing is even now the device turns on gets to customization screen and then it restarts and it has infinite loop. What to do?
Make sure battery is fully charged/ good
Bootloops can sometimes be fixed by flashing boot.IMG through fastboot...but I don't think that's your issue

Hello, dear xda users. I am kinda new in Android world- i bought HTC phone month ago and i tried to get used for it. My phone is polish version of T-Mobile G2 and its called ERA G2. I rooted it, installed Amon-Ra and tried a lot of custom ROMs. After month of using different kind of Android and HTC ROMs i stayed with RCMix 2.3, because of his speed and 2.1 Sense on it. And now my problem begins:
Today my menu button stoped working in some applications so i decided to reboot device. Everything went fine with getting off, but when phone vibrated and Era initializing screen appeared, nothing happened after that.
-I tried with removing SIM, SD and all other options but still it is frozen. After couple minutes its vibrating again and restarts.
-When i plug charger for turned off phone, charging led is on but at the same time i am turning on phone, led disappears (phone is still plugged to charger).
-I cannot go to recovery by holding Home+Power... nothing happens.
-When i am holding VOL Down and Power this unknown for me HTC/Android window appears but automatically starts some kind of loading, and when its in Simlock and opening FAT32 something it restarts and Era initialization screen is on again.
-Unfortunately i dont have any warranty for this phone and i am from Poland so professional technical support is the worst way of helping for me right now.
I really enjoyed HTC Hero and i want to enjoy it more, so please if you know any way or kind of solution, please reply ; ) [sorry for my english]
Do You have adb set up?
By nothing happends You mean it wont turn on, or it wont run recovery?

remove battery and put it back again. This will turn off the phone. Then try Power it up. Do you get into bootloop again?
What about recovery? Replace battery and power up into recovery. 2 things might happen. You can get into your recovery normally and reflash the rom. Or you might get a screen with a phone and a big red exclamation mark. In this case you've lost your recovery and need ruu install.
brat.haneq---> i ment that i cant go to recovery- i have initialization screen and nothing happens.
So, first of all i restarted my phone a lot of times in different combinations (with SIM, without SD etc.). I cannot get to recovery when i am pressing power+home buttons and nothing happens, no exclamation mark like arvan said. I just see blue initialization screen from Era (it says Era G2 Touch)as always. Normally after some seconds it dissapears and normal bootscreen from ROM shows up, but not this time. Any thoughts?
Oh, and what is adb set up? Cheers ; )
So I guess You've really lost the recovery.... And as I said, RUU install will help...
Okay, but how i can install RUU? I tried from PC but Windows doesnt see my device... Any other option?
have you got the drivers? they come with htc sence. what does your pc see instead of hero? there might be some unknown device in the device manager if it's a driver problem.
Install RUU form SDcard (extract ROM.zip from RUU, rename it to HEROIMG.zip and put it to root of SDcard) using HBOOT mode.

and i forgot to wipe Davilk Cache.
now my phone just keeps booting to the oodie miui screen, won't enter xrecovery or flash mode. how do I fix this ?
you should be able to boot into recovery from power off depending on what phone you have...or you can get to recovery from your bootloader....or you can use adb...what phone are you using because unless you find a way to get into your recovery you will stay stuck in a boot loop

I am using the xperia x10, and I don't know how to do any of the things you've reccomended, I'm still new to this.
You can always go into recovery mode by turning off your phone, taking out the battery. Then hold the back button and put in the battery, it will boot the phone in recovery mode (not xrecovery) and the green led light will come on. At the point you can flash a rom via flashtool.

i've tried that and when i hit "flash" it "aborts" and my phone starts up to the oodie miui screen thats sort of like a loading screen since it has the loading bar i guess?
Repeat again! Should work!
would my battery need to be more than 50% to do that? i've read some places that it has to.
You have to press flash when the green led light is still on. It doesnt stay on for long tho, so do it quickly. And ya having the bat above 50% is a good idea for when the phone needs to be disconnected from computer and boot on its own.
- Captain Scrat
it starts to flash then exits flash mode and then "boots" and it aborts flash.
it happens sometimes. Try again
It finally let me flash it and it fixed! thanks guys.
My Rooted Nexus 7 was working perfectly. Now I am not sure If it is Soft Bricked or something else is wrong with it, It was charging one day and I took it off one micro usb charger and put it on another Nexus 7 charger. I went back and turned it on, Now it was stuck in bootloop, I have seen bootloops before, but not like this. It turns on and goes to the lock screen, then after a few second it freezes then restarts. I have been able to quickly log in boot into safe mode but it still freezes and restarts, I made it to the app menu once and then it sad , Unfortunately Launcher has stopped, I have cleared the cache and dalvik cache and nothing works, I have bootloader version 4.1.3 and CWM version 6.0.1.9, I have tried to format tablet and factory reset with cwm recovery but when I turn it back on I still see my stuff and I still reboots, I have tried to restore from a backup from a while ago with cwm but it fails. I tried to use nexus toolkit but I dont remember my version and I cant check, I gave it a guess but It can not find my device when plugged in, even in recovery mode, It said something about fastboot but i think i did that but I am not 100% sure what it is, I need to get this workig again fast.
Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.
I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise

Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.
First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.
If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.
See if that starts the phone.
If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.
However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.

I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.
Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.
If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.
Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken
Hi guys, i need help.
was using my phone this morning and suddenly it restarted itself.
the phone passed through boot icon and went to "almost" into launcher screen.
my phone is rooted and thought that it might be due to software, hence i flashed stock firmware into it.
so now it is in stock rom and stock recovery.
but the phone still restarts.
it will still pass through the boot icon and since it is fresh installed, it goes to the setup screen, but from the the phone restarts again.
it seems like it restarts everytime it finish boot.
thinking that it might be screen issue, so i go into (stock)recovery mode, i try to navigate around in it by going to wipe phone, install from storage, and the phone doesnt restart.
please advise what might be the cause or issue since i had already flashed stock rom, so i guess rom isnt a problem, and phone doesnt restart when it is in recovery mode...
