Hello Guys....
i have a really bad situation and i think it might get worse, i got my phone few weeks ago and it was running 2.3.3 later i got the OTA update to 2.3.5
then i wanted to root and found that the best tool is AAHK i downloaded and ran it and it asked for downgrade since my version is 3.13.415 and i agreed.. at the end of the process where it should update and i should hit "power to restart" didn't come up, thought there was nothing working and the menu just was still, so i tried to restart it from the menu. so i got the htc logo and it just froze there i tried to restart over and over again, yet no luck and i noticed the s-on thing and googled alot and found that i should flash a stock rom to get it running so i went to site called shipped roms and got one and tried to install it, but the installer said the rom isn't compatible or somethin....and i remmebered getting one from another rooting guied so i tried flashing it and it worked, but it took about 15 minutes for the device to boot up and the first vibe took about 10 minutes to finish but eventually it worked and the version i got on the phone was 2.2 but without arabic language "something i want" but it was okay, now i was a bit curios about the AAHK menu so i started it and it just started working :$ :S that's something i didn't want to happen but i was scared to pull the cable and it restarted to the "black screen with htc logo" and the tool saying "INFOsignature checking"...
sooooo is there any ideas about what can and should i do, how can i make everything back to normal or anythin
please make it fast, i really can't wait any longer
------------------------update-----------------
After about 20 minutes of waiting i had no nerve left for waiting so now i took the usb cable and took the battery out and re installed it and hit power and while i'm writing the update it's viberating and it just stopped and waiting for the "quitly briliant" hope it works
it did (sorry if i nag to much and keep updating with every second)
now guys i really don't want to root or s-off or anythin... i just want to get my DHD fully up and ruunin
will the OTA update fix everything (the boot-up thing ?) and i want to get arabic language installed-how to do that
please help me
thx
hello guys...

Doing a software update on a rooted phone will only revert the ROM to stock one. Key is patience. There is NO WAY at all that AAHK would mess something up on its own. I know this for a fact since I have used it to root 8 other DHD's so far without any issues. If you are not sure how it works then read more. You probably pulled the usb out before AAHK finished proper the first time.

thx for ur reply
and about the AAHK actually it's not my thing in the mean time, now i just want my default DHD back (stock rom, arabic, normal boot-up)
as i said i was applying the update and now i'm stock at the updating screen (black background htc update logo with a phone under it)
i mentioned the progress bar before but it was (i think) about moving the update to the sd card
now after about hour or so i'm still stuck at the same update state, even when i removed the battery and restarted the phone i'm still back to the same screen with nothing more..... hope u can help me with anything that can make my phone boot-up again ( no matter what's the version-in the mean time-)
thx in advanced
sry for my english..

Looks to me like you bricked your phone. Remove the battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Do NOT turn the phone on but instead hold down Volume down + Power and see if you can boot into Hboot. It should lead you to a white screen with skateboarding androids. Post here everything it says there.

i'll try to get in there, but if i have a bricked phone... is there anyway to fix it(just give me a -yes/no- answer) for now.... i'll rebort as soon as i get into the hboot screen(hopefully)
btw i removed my sd card an out it in a card reader, and i couldn't access it, do u think it got anythin to do with it ??
If you are unable to enter hboot then sadly there is no return and your phone is gone. Hold down power + vol down for as long as it takes until it hopefully takes you into hboot.

mmmmmmmm, for the SD card i was able to get back in
and i tried to enter the hboot(but my finger slipet for split second) and i'll try againg
but on the other hand... don't u think that since i'm getting to the update screen that there might be a slice of hope for me ??

Not if its constantly stuck on the update screen without any progress. Do as I said, boot into hboot holding power + vol down keys until it boots. Write what it says there. If you can't get into hboot... Game over.

As I said before, if you can't boot into hboot then sorry but I don't know of any other solution. Maybe someone else can provide better explanation, but as far as I know, if you are constantly stuck on update screen and if you can't get into hboot at all then nothing else can be done.

i found something called hard reset -i'll give it a try- do u think that it might help ? (hope it does)
this is how i found it's done.....
1) Firstly you have to turn off your device and after that hold the volume + and volume – button together.
2) Continue pressing both the buttons and after sometime hold the power button for some time.
3) Once you have pressed the three buttons you will get the message about the change in the factory settings and also to keep a backup of the data.
4) After the message is displayed leave all the buttons then press the volume + button to start with the hard reset operation.
5) After doing this the reset operation will be carried out and all the data will be permanently removed.
do u have any info about it ???

The only option of Factory Reset I know of is through hboot. And if you cant boot there then I really can't help you.
Are you sure you did it properly? Turn the phone off, remove battery for a few minutes, put it back in. Then Press POWER + VOLUME DOWN and hold for about 10-15 seconds. That should take you into hboot and from there you can see if your phone is S-OFF and do a factory reset.
I think that you are to nervous now
just pull out the battery, put it back in..
hold VOL - (minus, down) and press the power for about 3-4 sec, than release only power button.
if that don't get you to white hboot screen than nicely take the phone to your dealer and ask for waranty.. tell them that it got stuck on OTA update
Thanx Lord.

the main problem that stopping me the most is the long time that the phone takes to boot up, i mean that if i try to start the phone it will take about 10 minutes to get to the update screen where it stops there
so holding them for 15 seconds is somethin that i think will do me no good result or actually no result at all ..... do u recommend pluging the usb in/out or anythin like that..... i know that i'm asking to much from you, but please bear with me and should i move the thread to another section in this case so i can get more help.....
please stick with me a little
really thx for your help
no use of plugging/unplugging the phone...
just do what I've posted above

There is no point in connecting usb or anything else to the phone. Do as both Lord and I have said and write down what it says in the hboot once you get in. Booting into hboot is not the same as normal boot. Don't try to act smarter then people that are trying to help you.
Edit: Don't move the thread.
ok guys, trying it and really thx...i'll report as soon as i get anything
Hey!
I have a PVT1 Desire, running Stock 2.2.2. I was just browsing xda, and put it on my desk. Then, 10 minutes later, i tried to turn it on, and nothing happens! I naturally put it on the charger, nothing happens, no orange light! So i try the battery in another phone, and that phone boots fine! So i try another battery in my desire, and it is not turning on. Can not boot to hboot or anything. Isn't recognized by pc. Anyone have a solution?

The point is, my desire is not just soft-brick. It is a hard-brick. I don't see any mention of hard bricks there.
You have something in my signature (how it works) just go there and see it yourself.

Hello friends,
my Desire X was acting very strange, the screen suddenly changed the colors and went on and off for 3 seconds, and after that everything was ok. I decided to turn it off and I did, but now I can't turn it on ... I tried a factory reset. i.e. remove and replace the battery, hold down the volume button and then press the power button, but didn't work. Still when I plug it in my computer, the led turns on but I can't access the phone using the computer since it doesn't turn on. I don't think the power button is broken because it was working just fine before this. I had to send the phone to 3 different gsm services and they all said they can't do it because the model it's to recent and they can't find the software. Does anybody know what's the solution for my problem ? Thanks!
Hi everyone,fisrt of all happy new year tooo all the mates in this awesome forum.
Well, my problem is kind of weird, ive never faced such a problem with my hox, or any other smartphone.
My phone was running well, then it turned off,it was discharged (my phone always shuts down whet it hits 10% or below,i need to take out the sim card or airplane mode so it dosent shuts down),ive plugged it to charge, icould see it charging,but..after that....my phone JUSTE DIED.
It suddenly started bootlooping, always says battery is tooo low to flash from the bootloader, and it never goes below the htc quietly brilliant logo,but when i try like a loot of time, it goes trought it, loads my rom, but as soon as i can see the home screeen,it turns off.....always....its been 3 days im stuck ..... ive looked alll arond the forum but couldnt find any fix....
I am able to access bootloader,but no recovery, ive tried to flash several different recoveries, but it always shows black screen(turns off) when loading recovery....
I still havent tried to re-lock the bootlader and go trought it all again flashing a stock rom and all (even if im pessimistic about if it is oing to fix it)
cuz i do really have preecious data on my hox, i would like to save the content of the internal storage before re-locking it.
Is it a software issue? batterie issue? but, ive tried discharging my hox while letting it in the bootloader, and...it just didnt shut off randomly, it kept alive for about an hour..... then i plugged my phone to charge ,left it be for the whole night, got the greeen light, and still the same problem.....
also(when i get the phone to load, ive seen the last time that my battery was like 53%, and then it just shut down..
i have also tried cvharging it via fastboot reboot method...same issue....
Please, help me guys, I really, reaaally need your help,i was ssooo satisfied with this phone, i cannot afford myself another one right know, and i dont have any warranty....im confused :crying::crying:
Phone running on Viperx 4.0.6 with original kernel.
Thanks in advance.
Please Im really stuck out here, i would like, at least, be able to access CWM or the storage so i could backup everything end then Re-lock and stock.
Try 'fastboot erase cache' to attempt to fix recovery shutting down.

Thanks for answering, i already tried that,but it changed nothing.
Now it's WORST, i was rebooting the phone again and again to gain access to the rom, just pushing the buttons and all, and then it rebooted with no screen... its like the screen is dead, the phone vibrates when you power it, but the screen shows nothing.....
Is the screen dead? So i do need to replace it? now my problem has grown worst...

go to bootloader and flash Philz recovery 5.15 mount the sd card and backup the information. when you go in Philz and mount the recovery wait 3-4 min SD card to appear on the computer.

Try to charge the phone, maybe from so many restart you f**ck up the battery and for this you have only short vibrate no power for the screen or use battery extendet pack. Second try to go in bootloader not to start the phonejust the volume down +power button

I tried that too,well, i finished opening the phone to check on the battery state and all, everything seemed to be fine, next step is buying another battery and test another set of screen+digitalizer to check for the origin of the problem.
Insane how from trying to access the recovery it became changing battery and screen.
Thanks for all your tips, im going to check on it and keep you informed about my issue

Good luck from me:good:
Firstly, yes, I am sure that the info that I need is on here somewhere, but I have spent the last hour reading threads and I am not a developer and I cannot tell the difference from a soft brick or a hard brick or a boot loop.
Also almost all of the tutorials to root / unbrick involve enabling USB debugging on the phone first, but I can't boot my phone to do this anyway....
So, I got 2.19 OTA update and installed it normally. Phone is not rooted, totally stock 550ML WW model.
But in the last update I got a few bugs so I wiped the cache from recovery mode by following a tutorial, no problems and the bugs went away. So I decided to do the same this time....
I got to the boot menu OK and selected Recovery Mode, then got the Error / sleeping droid screen, so I tried to hold power / vol up to get into the recovery mode and the phone turned off. It was at about 35% battery and plugged into the charger so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a battery issue.
Now I can't get it to turn on / boot at all. If I hold the power button down it just vibrates once and does nothing else, same for vol up and power.... Is this some kind of brick?
Problem is I am going travelling for a month tomorrow and I can't be without my phone so I have to fix it in less than 24 hrs.
Can anyone help me without using terms like "flash image" or "sideload" unless you explain exactly what they mean?
Thanks in advance. :silly:
Can you press vol down and power and see if it turns on?

Vol down and power has done something!!
The phone vibrated twice and the led has lit up showing that it is charging!! Also I have the battery graphic on the screen.
Should I just now turn it on normally?
Sorry to sound so dumb but I really don't want to screw this up...
Thanks for answering by the way.
You can try to boot like normal but my guess it would still be stuck with the android logo. Happened to me when I rebooted my phone while wiping cache.
Anyway go to the link and follow his instructions. Let me know if there's any problems. Cheers!

i experienced shutting down during wipe cache.bad times then.i resolved with this : forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
remember for bootloader press power+volume up.when it vibrates release power and keep pushing volume up.you should be in booloader.scrolling with volume up volume down you can choose recovery..may will be wrote installing update and then an error message.just press power and immediately after volume up for a bit.you should be in recovery.if you reached recovery do a wipe cache.REMEMBER IT CAN TAKE 15-20 MIN TOO ! check if it power on.
if you still cat access bootloader...for me you have to use warranty.say to asus you just did an ota and then phone bricked.dont use the word brick say just it won't power on.approach is the key in this cases.approach to them like a total noob.call them,don't email them.if you are young,let someone older to talk,a relative or someone like this and give to him a text to follow.is difficult to think a noob thinks to do some difficult moves as root,unlocking bootloader....they think "this is a noob.he never thinked to root or modify phone" .so they can think your seller sold to you a rooted device (updating with root takes to brick,bootloop etc.) and so they will give to you a new phone.if it not power on they cant see if it is rooted or not
good luck bro
Many thanks to all of you that contributed, it seems that I was pretty lucky.
After the "reanimation" as per Aceazzay's suggestion, I left it charging for about an hour or so (just in case it was battery related) then booted it normally and it worked (upon booting the battery was over 90%, so it was certainly not a shutdown due to battery).
I have now been able to do a Cache partition wipe correctly and all is good.
I don't know why it shut down in my first attempt, perhaps clumsy fingers, or something more sinister? I guess I'll never know, but this site has certainly saved me some grief!!
