I used to have the CWM bootloader and the ViperXperia V5.0 mod on this phone. All obtained here in this forum many years ago.
I tried to updated it with 5.1.1_r3 FlexOS - haida-hallon [25-05-15] Official.
If I did my reading homework right, CWM wouldn't work with it so I had to upload a new bootloader. I followed the instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I rebooted the phone with 'adb reboot-bootloader' and flashed it with boot.img and I saw something new on the phone, an XDA screen I had never seen before. But that was it, now my phone just keeps flashing the "SONY" logo every few minutes. The logo turns up, the screen light becomess more intense for a couple of seconds, the phone vibrates for a fraction of a second and the green Power light lights up. That is very familiar behavior. The phone does that when it is about to start up. But it seems it can't and keeps trying over and over. Obviously, abd and fastboot can't detect the phone. Is there anything I can do?
TIA

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?
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
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
Hello all,
I have followed several tutorials here on XDA, and even more video tutorials on YouTube, but I am stuck at the seemingly simple task of rebooting into recovery. I've rooted every Android device I have ever had, but this one is throwing me off...
I flash TWRP (from adb), erase cache, and then when I'm still in the bootloader, I go to bootloader>recovery and then for a split second I see the HTC logo with the pink "booting into recovery" text then it reverts back to the clean HTC logo and proceeds to reboot into the OS.
I've tried the whole process again and again, and still nothing. It doesn't say "TAMPERED" above UNLOCK (in the bootloader) either.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance
---
EDIT:
I managed to get it working. I let the phone sit (powered 100% OFF) while I brewed a pot of coffee (1-2 minutes), when I tried it one last time; it listed "TAMPERED" then "UNLOCKED" and allowed me to flash into recovery with no issues. I think the key is to let the phone sit for a bit while it is powered off. [MODs - Feel free to remove this thread if needed]
Hi guys. So I have been going through xda and Google for hours and hours trying solutions, to no avail. I almost never post on forums for help because I can usually find the solution. Not this time. This is my last resort next to throwing my phone out a window or praying for death's sweet release.
The facts: I have a rooted Xperia Z3v. I tried to upgrade TWRP in order to follow some directions on upgrading to Nougat. I flashed TWRP from 2.8.X.X to 3.X.X.X. I rebooted and it never made it to the Sony logo. Now, if I plug the phone in to either a wall socket or PC it vibrates, endlessly at three second intervals, each time with red LED. If I try to enter flash mode, then its the same but with a brief green led after the red. I can enter fastboot (the only way to stop it vibrating while plugged in) and my PC sees it, including Flashtool, but since my bootloader is locked permanently, I can't really do much with it.
When plugged into the wall-charger, I noticed that the charger's LED changes from "Active" to "Inactive" with every vibration. I'm pretty sure I'm in a reboot loop. The screen is totally dead and there's no logo, but every three seconds it kills it self and comes back.
I have tried everything I could think of.
What I have:
I have the stock firmware ready to go
I have TWRP backups on SD card and PC
I have Flashtool
I think my drivers are good, but not 100% sure
I can fastboot
I'm at my wit's end and losing hope.
Please, I'm open to any suggestions at all.
Hi guys,
first of all thank you for taking your time and reading through this. I'm not completely new to android, nor using fastboot and recovery. I flashed a few phones over the past years I even resurrected bricked ones. However I have no idea what is happening to my Honor 8. One thing to mention, it's the latest Nougat update, and a STOCK ROM.
It all started this afternoon. The phone suddenly reboot while using it. After that, the android screen came on, then Honor animation and.. freeze. Completely. I had to reboot using the long press method since it was stuck between the bootloader and the rom itself. It started up ok after that.
An hour passed, and while I was typing a message, it froze again. I could go back to home but the phone was really slow. After opening up Messenger again, it froze completely. Had to restart again with the long-press reboot method. It started up ok, entered the sim pin and upon entering the screenlock code it froze again, completely. Long-press reboot, again.
Since then, the phone won't boot. It gets stuck every time on "Honor powered by Android" for about a minute, then it reboots itself. I even got some weird green screen with a blue and a red rectangle, but that just stopped after a few reboots.
I mentioned that I know how to recover and fix stuff when something acts weirdly, but that's not the case, I can't do ANYTHING. No fastboot, no recovery, no button combinations, I can't even turn off the phone. It just keeps rebooting on and on, and yes, the battery will eventually die, but I have no access to any recovery options. I even tried dload but no luck.
It's still under warranty so I can send it back but I just rather fix it at home (without taking it apart), because I don't want to wait 3 weeks to get fixed. But it seems like that is the only option right now, I have never ever seen anything like this happen.
Any help or comment is appreciated. Even if it's not possible to do it at home (hardware issues?), I am really curious what can be the cause of this issue (damaged rom, filesystem permission issues?).
Thanks.
Hi all, first of all I'd like to apologize for my dumb questions (if I make any) and for if I'm posting in the wrong place, kinda new in here.
I explain my situation: I had a hardbricked X820 (I don't remember how it got bricked because it was like one year ago but I think it is a matter of hardware because I think I remember it fell off from such a high place, don't know yet and that's why I made this thread) and I followed quite a lot of guides (A LOT) and it seemed that the only working method was using FlashOne tool with QFIL files. It seemed everything went well until it finished the flashing process. After booting up the device it happens nothing, and sometimes I see the booting logo of LeEco followed by what it seems a shut-down with blinking red led. It sometimes aswell appears the blue led when booting into system and also when trying to boot to recovery. Fastboot mode works fine btw.
I have already spent more than 20 hours trying to fix this, but all I got is:
- device can already boot after following this guide (before I got nothing but red led light when trying to boot)
- device boots but wether:
It stucks in the booting logo
screen turns off and blue led appears
screen turns off and a blinking red led appears
- can't boot into recovery, even by booting an image from fastboot mode. Recovery booting screen doesn't even display and blue led appears again
- fastboot mode is fine and the device is recognized by the computer
I first thought it was that some hardware was causing the issue because of the fall but after seeing it can communicate with the computer and boot into fastboot mode I don't think it's a matter of hardware... But still I wanted to consult you expert guys
I'm a bit fed up and out of ideas... What can you guys come up with? I really need help. I'm completely stuck.
I might have (for sure) forgotten to give more relevant info so don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks a lot in advance!
If you like you phone and If nothing work, I hard brick a kindle fire 6 hd and replace the motherboard that I found for cheap and the tablet is back and working like new.

That's a good idea! But I've been seeking cheap mobos and I can't find any... I'm very poor and I can't afford buying new hardware for a device I'm not using daily, that's why I wanted to know if the issue was about hardware, something I see clearer every time... :crying: :crying:
