hi,
i tried rooting my htc desire x last night.
while installing SU using TWRP , a message appeared cannot mount cache.
After that I started my phone to chech whether it has been rooted.
It was not rooted as it said that it failled to upload the binary or something.
So I turned off my phone to check it. But after turning , my phone does not switch on.
After some times it vibrates for 7 times and nothing happens. Even HTC LOGO wont appear.
I tried to open the recovery using volume down and power on it is also not working out.
Kindly help.
Maybe this message helps?

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.
There's a guide explaining the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714519
I was trying to install custom 2.3.5 ROM to my HTC, because my 3G network is not working, as somebody told me that the 3G will live again if I update the ROM to 2.3.5 sense 3.0.
Then, I have installed the Advanced Ace Hack Kit and proceeded the rooting procedures. Everything looks okey and finally I get into the menu for installing the update.zip from SD card.
The outcome is that the phone stays in the "HTC Welcome Screen" forever...I have tried many things, nothing has changed since.
There is one thing I remembered that I did wrong was that I forgot to pull the battery out after the rooting procedure has completed. May be this is the problem.
Any one can I me how to rescue my HTC Desire HD?

hello...I can't get there....The key combination "Volume Down+power" not working....

power off the device, then pull the battery. then put the battery back in and volume down+ power should do the trick

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
If you can get in to recovery. Get a Rom on your sd by selecting: mounting sd storage.
And flash it with recovery.

Download a different rom (or redownload the same rom) with your pc and then move it over to your SD card. Then boot into recovery (The black screen with orange letters) and do a complete factory reset and wipe the cache partition and then go to install .zip from sd and choose the new rom and BOOM! It should be fixed.
If your phone boots into recovery then it's not bricked really. You can always fix it. And just because it doesn't boot the first time doesn't mean you need to redownload the rom either. But seeing as how you tried it twice and it's still stuck on the bootloop then it probably is the rom.
HTC Desire HD brick
I've got the same problem :/ HTC Desire HD brick -.-
DHD Bricked
I have also bricked my dhd and my volume down button seems to have died on me completely...I could cry.
HTC desire HD bicked after RUU install

Even if he does a factory reset/wipe data, only the /data partition is wiped. He has deleted the applications from /system partition, so they won't come back after a factory reset.
@OP - You need to restore your phone to stock by running an official RUU (ROM Update Utility) from HTC.
1. Download it from the link below.
2. Turn off your phone by taking out the battery and then put it back.
3. Boot your phone into bootloader mode (white screen with skateboarding Androids) by powering it on with 'volume-' held down.
4. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and see that 'FASTBOOT USB' shows in the bootloader with red background for the text.
5. Run the downloaded exe file as admin and don't touch the phone while it's working.

Can I download or upgrade OS from android 2.3.5 to 4.0.4
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
Only if someone has developed a 4.0.4 custom ROM for your phone, then you need to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery like ClockworkMod, and then flash the ROM. Look in your phone's forum for more info.

Use windows 7 connected to a USB 2.0 port. Windows 8 doesn't detect the device for some reason. You could also install a recovery and a custom rom instead.

By pressing volume down+ power but it doesn't work..
See, first of all you cant hard brick a phone so easily. When you install a rom you are just changing stuff in system partition. In worst case scenario your phone will get stuck on htc logo or bootloop but thats just a soft brick.
Even if you manage to change the recovery and kernel by installing the rom, you still cant hard brick it because bootloader is still there and you can use fastboot in it.
Most probably your case is of hardware failure. Try charging it for a day and dont disturb it. Then try to boot it. If it doesn't boot then go in the recovery.
If nothing works then I guess its time for replacement.

Hello
I think I bricked my Desire X (dual sim) too. I successfully rooted it. I then went into recovery mode to check the TWRP version I was running, and then I powered it down. Since then it won't turn on, or even go into bootloader mode. (tried both volume down + power button, and DOS method).
When it charges, the orange light comes on, and it vibrates three times every now and then.. don't know what that means. IS it possible to unbrick this? Please help.

You installed a recovery which is not meant for your device (because you have a different phone because you have a dual sim). The only solution is sending it to HTC

I tried to root my moto x style, installed corectly and everything was good untill I tried to boot it up. I saw the boot logo stuck so I tried to restart my phone several times and it kept repeating so I opened up recovery and tried to do a factory reset but accidentally deleted system files. After that I tried to fix it with installing new firmware but it didn't let me, I tried to search the problem online but couldn't find any solution, then tried moto tool kit and now I can't even access bootloader. And it's a new phone... NEED HELP!!! :crying: (Sorry for bad English)

When I turn on the phone it shows Bootloader unlocked warning and then the screen goes black and there is the android figure. Below that there's a writing saying "Erasing..."(Phone keeps restarting).
