After shutting down and turning on my phone again this morning, it will not boot up and instead freezes on the white splash screen with the green HTC logo. I have tried waiting it out, clearing the caches, flashing the kernel, and just tried a hard reset, all to no avail.
Also, if I plug my phone into the charger, the orange light comes on. However, it remains on when I unplug it from the wall and the only way to get the light off is to take out the battery.
I was using a custom ROM, the Amazing QuikSense 2.1.2, for the past 4 months without any problems. I haven't installed any new applications in awhile. I don't know what caused this. What can I do to get my phone working again?
Can you get into recovery? Try taking battery out, put back in, hold volume down and power at same time and see if you can get into recovery. If so, reflash the rom.
yes, i can get into recovery and to ClockworkMod
i have already tried flashing the ROM again but it is still freezing when booting

How are you flashing the kernel? Fastboot or ADB? ADB may not work on a soft brick... Maybe try fastboot?
OR
Did your battery die and that's what triggered this? If your battery is dead and you are on a CWM that doesn't have charging while off, you could be screwed until u get a fresh battery. Does the phone turn off after hanging on splash screen?

Theres ur problem, u need to use ekf
Idk if there is still a thread with ekf, but u can just download fauxs kernel from his thread, extract the zip on your computer, put your fone in fastboot and connect the phone to the computer via usb. Open the folder u extracted the zip to and open the file that says flash.bat and it will do the rest

i have EKF but i am using a Mac now and can't get into my PC. i used the utility because i was unable to figure out how to flash it in terminal
i have tried flashing the kernel through ADB and flashing the ROM and it is still freezing on the HTC startup screen.. i don't know what to do next.. please help
it says:
fastboot flash boot Kernel-Here/boot.img
sending 'boot' <2876 KB>... FAILED <status malformed <1 bytes>>
the boot.img file is fine - why is it failing?
im also having this problem, my phone keeps freezing at the startup screen when the htc logo pops up. i dont know much about this kind of stuff so i would really appreciated if anyone could guide me to what to do
the way that my phone froze like that was that i tried to flash a kernel for the Energy rom, i did installed the rom itself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759 this is the rom that i wanted to use
and i flashed the kernel that was provided in the 4th post, i downloaded that file, extracted and ran the .bat file and thats how it happened

I'm not sure if I can help you but other could and will if you provided more specific infos about your phone
1. What kernel did you tried to flash, using hansoon's toolkit?

You wiped all of your data and system, so it's basically means that you have nothing on your phone, no OS, nada, that's why the phone would not boot up.
I suggest you to read more before doing anything to your phone next time :fingers-crossed:
At least you still have recovery on your phone. I'm not sure if TWRP would allow your phone to be charge while off, if it's not, then you better stop doing any further and try to look around to see if you have a wall-charger to charge your battery. Make sure it's full before proceed any further.
These next steps would be
1. Read this thread
2, Flashing 4EXT recovery would be your best bet since it allow your phone to be charged while off - this will be a life saver.
3. Flash an RUU to get back to stock. Note: You will need to re-lock your bootloader in order to do this
Good luck

thank you very much , but what should i do first i am afraid to do... please suggest me first step and be easy on me !!
You still be able to boot into your recovery, right? I don't use TWRP so I'm not sure but you will need to know how much juice you still have before going further. In 4EXT recovery, it tell you that information inside recovery though ...
Next, I would flash 4EXT recovery to make sure you can charge your phone while it's off ... using Hansoon's toolkit. Don't try to flash kernel again for you don't needed it as yet
The rest is very much already told. You will try to go back to stock by reading the link that I've provided.
PS: DON'T be affraid. DONT Panic. Just read through the Amaze Bible to gain more knowledge and confident. You'll be okay. Just take your time to read. It's not that hard as you though while in panic mode

thank you very much . yes i am still able to boot in recovery- (4EXT TOUCH ) let me go through the reading but i don't have external sd card ..IS IT FINE ??
---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------
Now to the steps.
1. Download the stock ruu from here
2. Lock your bootloader by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
3. Reboot to system
4. Flash the stock RUU you downloaded by placing it in the root of your external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader.
5. Once you have the stock rom reinstalled, set the security lock by using fastboot command " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
6. Profit?
I DOWNLOADED STOCK RUU ,AND I LOCKED BOOTLOADER . I REBOOT THE SYSTEM AND IT RELOCKED . NOW MOVING TO (4) STEP I DIDNT GET WHAT TO DO ???

Writesecurityflag??? Its been a while for me but that doesnt sound right. If s=off u want... u need the wire trick... After step 4 (which is accurate btw) u need to put the recovery.img of your choice (4ext highly recommended) in the same folder as your fastboot.exe program on pc. I recommend renaming it "recovery.img" and then you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash ur custom recovery of choice. From there, reboot into recovery and flash superuser.zip. then u r rooted stock

Ok, so i have seen many people on xda saying there htc phone is bricked blah blah...
this is to explain what brick you have, what is causing it, if it can be fixed, how it can be fixed, and what to do if it is completely bricked!
BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I WOULD LIKE YOU AFTER YOU FINISH READING THIS FIX TO STOP AND CONSIDER HITTING THE THANKS BUTTON AS IT WILL HELP ME AS MUCH AS THIS GUIDE POSSIBLY HELPED YOU
also i am open to ANY questions, help or anything needed by the community! so if you need something, be sure to comment!
first i will explain the definitions of a brick-
HARD BRICK
a hard brick (also knows as a hardware brick) is when your phone doesnt turn on and when adb and fastboot dont pick up your device as you have damaged hardware on your device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SOFT BRICK
a soft brick (also knows as a software brick) is when your device turns on but gets stuck at bootloader, recovery, htc logo, bootlogo etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OPTIONS FOR A HARD BRICK-
there are a few options here.
1ST OPTION- riffbox jtag repair, this is a repair by manually pumping firmware into your phone with a riffbox connected to a jtag connected to your phones motherboard
method for this is a difficult, yet money saving process, but may not work all the time.
HOW TO RIFF
1. buy a riffbox and the required jtag for your device
2. install the firmware that comes with the riffbox
3. extract the motherboard from your device
4. connect in the following way (<computer><riff cable><riffbox><jtag cable><jtag><motherboard>)
5. run the software that came with the riffbox
6 follow prompted instructions by riff firmware
7.DONE!

2ND OPTION-
1. buy a new motherboard
2. replace the motherboard
HOW TO REPLACE MOTHERBOARD
1. open your device and extract the motherboard(chances are you can find it on youtube)
2. replace it with the new motherboard
3. DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3RD OPTION(ONLY IF OPTION 1 AND 2 DO NOT WORK)-
buy a new phone
or buy a motherboard, and a new lcd screen as you have fore then likely overclocked your processor, and over volted your lcd screen and blown it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OPTIONS FOR A SOFT BRICK
a softbrick is 99% repairable with a htc phone, as htc has a more then simple way of operating
it needs the following to run
1st you need a hboot
2nd you need a system image, data image and boot image. ( i say all three of these because your phone wont boot unless you have all three)
3rd applications
so now we identify your problem!
if your phone turns on and goes straight to recovery or bootloader, even after you have tried rebooting into system this is what you do!
the problem is cause by not having a system and data image.
1. download a rom for your device
2. put the rom on your sd card(if you dont have an sd boot into recovery and push the file to your phone using my adb guide HERE
3. put your sd card in your phone and reboot into recovery
4. flash the rom.
5.DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if your phone turns on and is stuck at the htc logo then this is a problem with the boot.img, heres what to do.
1. download the rom you have and open the .zip file on your computer, then extract the boot.img from the file and put it somewhere on your computer
2. connect phone to computer
3. read HERE to learn how to flash the boot.img
4.DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if your phone turns on and goes straight to bootloader and you cant get into recovery then this is caused by not having no image files flashed, and heres how to fix it.
1. boot into bootloader
2. select fastboot in the bootoader menu
3. connect phone to your computer
4. download a recovery for your phone and read HERE how to flash it
5. boot into recovery
6. download a rom for your device
7. put the rom on your sd card(if you dont have an sd boot into recovery and push the file to your phone using my adb guide HERE
8. put your sd card in your phone and reboot into recovery
9. flash the rom.
10. DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if none of those work then you might want to consider flashing an RUU file (FIXES ALMOST ALL ERRORS)
1. download the RUU for your device and CID
2. flash it
3. DONE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if not even that works, consider it a hard brick
HOPE THIS HELPED! AND REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS!

Hi, I have an HTC Thunderbolt that is not being detected by ADB or Fastboot but it starts up and is in a bootloop. Unfortunately I have not backed it up and I have stock recovery. I do have an SD card so if there is a way that I can probably put a fix on it and apply it through the recovery I would. Awesome guide BTW.

Hi!
My phone keeps staying on the startup animation.
I actually had a recovery installed, and in the memory there's a rom's zip ready to get installed... but I can't get into the bootloader.
Even if I press volume down+power button it goes on startup animation until the battery is totally drained.
I could even flash the RUU, but I actually can't select the fastboot mode...
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I think I've bricked my N9. What happened was I rooted it successfully, but then on flashing a custom recovery, I used the wrong image file. Instead of using the flounder image, I mistakenly flashed the volantis one. And then I flashed twrp for flounder. But after that, the recovery could not mount anything and ADB Sideload did not work. After that, I when and restore everything back to stock with factory image, however I cannot boot into system. I am effectively stuck in bootloader, and that's where I am. I tried rooting and flashing twrp recovery, and again, it could not mount and ADB Sideload is not working. I tried everything. Is my N9 done for? Or can someone point me in the right direction and get my N9 back?
I once bricked my lg g2 pretty badly, couldn't use adb or recovery.
I managed to repair it by booting a linux and manually overwrite the partitions with the factoy image.
There is a thread with instructions here on xda in the g2 forum, could work with the nexus to.

just look for the image for your device on recovery. as long as you have fastboot it can be saved. just look for your version flounder custom recovery and it should work

I don't have a Linux system and looking through thread seems too advance for me. I can't relate it to the N9. However, there seems to be something wrong partition, because I can't mount storage.

I can flash custom recovery, but I can't push files or adb sideload, therefore I can't do anything in recovery anyway.

you mean power + volume up, but yes, no problem getting there, also adb is working
thanks for all your help, I will try different factory image and flashing from OTG
The problem is your kernel is not loading or mismatched to the operating system. I have experienced this a lot on HTC devices when I screw something up... I mean "experiment"
You need to flash the boot system and vendor image from the latest factory ROM.
You need to do it manually...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Then reboot to recovery and wipe data. Not factory rest but actually wipe all of /data partition.
That should get you back. If not post back results.
If you are not familiar with fastboot then state so and I will help you.
Yes! I got it booting again, thank you everyone for helping. Apparently, the problem was, I think, wiping manually, that is, system, cache, recovery, boot, user data, and vendor didn't erase everything. What did the trick was [fastboot -w], I did this instead of erasing one by one. Thank you so much guys!

Hey guys, I think I've bricked my N9. What happened was I rooted it successfully, but then on flashing a custom recovery, I used the wrong image file. Instead of using the flounder image, I mistakenly flashed the volantis one. And then I flashed twrp for flounder. But after that, the recovery could not mount anything and ADB Sideload did not work. After that, I when and restore everything back to stock with factory image, however I cannot boot into system. I am effectively stuck in bootloader, and that's where I am. I tried rooting and flashing twrp recovery, and again, it could not mount and ADB Sideload is not working. I tried everything. Is my N9 done for? Or can someone point me in the right direction and get my N9 back?

First question - Did you flash a bad bootloader? If no, then you cannot have possibly bricked your nexus 9. I do believe this is the ONLY way you could brick a nexus. If you still have access to fastboot mode, you are totally fine. I would recommend flashing the factory images and just starting fresh. Depending on which nexus 9 you have, either the wifi only or LTE variant, you can download the appropriate packages at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Basically, you need to extract the package into a folder, boot your device into fastboot mode, and run the flashall.bat (windows) or flashall.sh(linux). As long as you have fastboot and ADB properly installed into your $PATH or atleast have fastboot and adb in your working folder, everything should be ok. If you run into any problems, contact me via PM or I can be found on IRC (Network freenode, #android, #cyanogenmod, #android-root). Good luck

I too thought I bricked my device and found this thread. Using the recovery from Google I was getting "sending sparse 'system' FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error))" until I used "fastboot -w" like the post above mentioned. Leaving this here in case someone else runs into the problem.

Thanks for paying it forward.
I have a similar problem my nexus 9 wont turn on and would freeze in the optimizing apps screen after going past the nexus logo but i can get to the fastboot and recovery. But i cannot flash the factory image because my bootloader is locked and i didn't enable developer options prior to the problem. I'm thinking about sideloading the latest ota would that help me ? And is there anyway to unlock bootloader if i can't boot the device?

Can you please explain to me what fastboot w- command means ?
It erases userdata and cache. Often needed if you run into bootloops. But it does wipe your data so backup off your device first.
Bricked N9
Hi everyone, well my problem is that i was trying to flash Android 6.0 but i accidentally execute the flash-all.bat file while i was trying to open it in the note block. It was booting normally but it seems that my N9 was encrypted, so it said that the Unencrypted was incorrect so it forced me to hard reset my tablet. i did this but it was taking like 20 min to erase my file (the android appeared and it was over a message that was "Wiping" -it was in spanish borrando-) so i turn it off and now my tablet is on a bootloop, after it appears the Google logo the 4 dots start to move but then the tablet turn off and repeat that cycle. Apparently i dont have recovery (appears the android laid down with a red triangle with an exclamation mark) and when i try to enter the hard reset the bootloop happens, the same if i try to reboot, i cant activate usb debugging i can only use the fastboot mode, my pc doesnt reconize my N9.
Thanks
PD: Sorry about my english, im from mexico, but i expect i had explained myself.

Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.

No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.
I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.
I'm signing off for a while. Good luck.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM

if you can still access bootloader then simply just boot TWRP from it, first download this full rom and save it on your SD card
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219
then go to bootloader if you can still access it and boot TWRP
fastboot boot [whatever your twrp name is].img
you can download modified twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16464
then once inside TWRP just install the FULL ROM that was downloaded and saved in the SD card/
My phone boots into fastboot ok but there is no recovery wont boot. I try to flash recovery and it says it cant because not unlocked tried unlocking bootloader says its sucesfull but phone wont get bast boot logo.
The phone has unlockable bootloader and I only have low mobile data and was wondering if there's a way to rip the stock recovery to port twrp over.
When I get wifi tomorrow, I'll try using PC king root while the phone is in fastboot mode.
Kingoroot will get to 100 but fail, kingroot pc version would just give me Chinese letters and do nothing.
Can anyone list anyother root exploits I might I can try on this phone? I tried the Android version of kingroot , but that just gives me the request device and I can't bypass it.
Root u673c
... has anyone been able to root the U673C version 6.0.1, if so, guide me through it, thanks!
we need to somehow extract the stock recovery.img to port twrp over.

In developer options click allow OEM unlocking then boot to fastboot mode and use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash the rooted kernel.
Rename file to boot.img
Unlock bootloader: fastboot oem unlock
Flash kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img

If you are having trouble booting system after installing twrp try wiping data and cache.
The no verity zip should not be needed since kernel was patched with magisk... but if still Having issues booting system try flashing the no verity zip... you can search for it here on xda
Thank you !
I just wanted to thank you, I am disabled and dont have alot of income, This phone is my lefeline, I now have it rooted running Magisk 18.0 and TWRP is installed and seems to be working fine, However I would like to ask this. There is an pain in the ass app that seems to be part of the last firmware update this phone had, ( io.appservice.module ) ( Found in data/appi.service.module-1/base.apk
This Kunt sorry for the language, If you uninstall it it is back with every reboot ?
I can disable it to solve the problem but I would like it gone, Any thoughts ?

I would just disable the app... just in case there is an update for the phone in future... if you remove the app the update will fail but if its disabled you can just enable it take update and then disable it again... also disable the stock gallery and install a third party one from the playstore... the stock gallery app will through all sorts of ads at you full screen ads as well.
I used titainium backup to disable all apps I didn't want... bit you can use what ever app you want. You can disable most apps in the apps info but not all apps.
I just use the phone as a backup and don't know where it is right now but when I come accross it I'll post all the apps I disabled here.
I healthfully thank you

I'm sorry I can remember the button combo... From phone off press and hold vol down and power release power and keep holding vol down... I think fast boot mode is an all black screen or it just has umx logo, can't remember exactly... when you have a fast hooky cmd window open type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected... if it is not try holding vol up instead of vol down when turning phone on... if vol up don't work try holding both vol buttons. Before this can be done make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and authorize your pc when prompted... alternately after you have adb authorized you could use adb cmd "adb reboot bootloader"
If you ned help with adb/fastboot do a quick google search you will find plenty of info and instructions
I appreciate your reply.
But I need some more assistance, please:
I've rooted many devices, flashed custom ROM's, Custom recoveries, etc, but I'm completely stuck now with this phone.
I tried "Power and Vol Down"....nothing.
I tried "Power and Vol Up"...and for a split second I see the Android robot on its back...but after that split second, I'm in the stock recovery menu.
One of the stock recovery menu choices is to reboot into Bootloader. When I try that, the phone reboots; but to the best of my knowledge, does not get into Bootloader mode.
I have installed ADB on my PC. When I type "ADB devices", I see my phone listed. But when I type "adb reboot bootloader", it reboots, but not into Bootloader.
I have USB debugging enabled, I have authorized my PC, and in Developer options, I have enabled the "Unlock Bootloader" option.
My Googling results have not yielded useful info.
I'm stuck.....
I hope that someone with experience with this particular device can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!

if it continues the loop then something went wrong. as i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try.
i just reinstalled the boot image a 2nd time and it worked here's the CRC-32 Hash "a483081b"
Not sure what you mean. You wrote " command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load" Do you mean from the PC command prompt? Do you mean from the phone's recovery menu?

Hope That Helps.
I Got Magisk, Xposed & Even A Custom Bootscreen With Sound on Mine.
Okay. Got it all done, mostly thanks to Liberator Elite. And just so that no one else should ever be as stuck as I was, please allow me to clarify what actually worked:
I kept on attempting to put the phone into Fastboot mode or Bootloader mode. I could enter the stock recovery, choose to boot into Bootloader, but it wasn't working--or so I thought. All I would see upon reboot was a screen that was black, with the words "UMX" (Ultimate Mobile Xperience??? or whatever...)
However, Liberator Elite called to my attention that that screen WAS THE BOOTLOADER screen. I typed "Fastboot Devices" from the command prompt, and there was my phone! I then was able to flash over the boot.img file, and the TWRP posted here, and from TWRP, I was able to install Magisk.
For some of you, this is all simple--thanks for not laughing.
And to the entire community, thanks for being such a great resource! All done--thanks to you guys. Much appreciated!!!
