[Q] Is my device bricked?

Hi! First of all, I tried searching the forum, but I failed find any specific help on this. I hope someone can point me in the right direction, or knows how to solve this.
I tried to install manually an OTA uptade on my desire, and I think I may have screwed up something.
When I power up the phone, it's stuck in booting: boots, HTC logo comes up, vibrates, then the whole cycle starts.
I was able to get to the screen, with the skating droids, but when I tried to choose recovery, an image of a phone comes up with nothing but a red triangle.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Stock android 2.2, rooted with unrevooked.

to leave the triangle-screen:
-press Volume up ("+") and the power-button.
-select "Reboot system now"
..and you're done!

tried that, but it still ends in an endless boot loop. Also tried factory reset.

Nevermind, looks like there was some kind of hiccup the first time. I started the OTA update manually (after leaving the triangle screen with the vol. up + power combo) and after some rebooting it wokrs now. And it's updated too. Thanks anyway!

[Q] Kindle keeps rebooting

Hi,
I have a big problem. I have a kindle Fire and I had TWRP installed. I installed a stock rom and it removed both TWRP and FFF. Now every time I turn it on and slide the lock over I get error messages. they are as followes:
Calander Storage (process com.android.providers.calandar) has stopped unexpectedly. ((FORCE CLOSE BUTTON))
process com.android.acore has stopped unexpectedly. ((FORCE CLOSE BUTTON))
This repeates as soon as I press the force close.
Then the Kindle Fire reboots.
If I type ADB Devices I get 4458002600000001 device
if I use the KFU it reports
ADB STATUS : Online
Boot Status :4000
none of the options work as I keep getting errors in FKU
Is it hopeless?
Please help me as the warrantee is done and I NEED IT BACK BADDDDDD
Thanks

Don't wait for it to fc on you race it to factory reset in the kindle settings and reset it or get a factory cable to force it into fastboot so you can reflash twrp and fff and then flash a rom.

Not sure what you are saying

I don't Understand what you mean by your post.
My kindle keeps rebooting BEFORE I can factory reset. I can get to the settings screen, but it only goes so far and reboots.
I am a newb so to speak and appreciate the help. Just wondering if you could give me specific details to follow. Have read posts but nothing stated works.
This is making me crazy.

There wasn't any hidden meaning in my suggestion some manage to be fast enough to make it to settings to factory reset it before it reboots. If it's not possible for you then a factory cable is needed. Hold the power button for 30 seconds till you are assured it is off then try the race from that powered off position anything you can do to shave time in your effort or gain a few seconds to reach the factory reset.

You r amazing

I am having this same issue, KFU says its still online 4000 but doesn't let me go into fastboot. Please help.

Try Soupkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 if it still doesn`t work get a factory cable post # 9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 .

This happened to me. I just turned it off, turned it back on, opened KFU, and rooted from there. I installed twrp Then mounted, copied the stock rom, wiped everything, copied stock by mounting again, and installed it. If it doesn't work then use soup kit or a factory cable

I can turn it on without a problem the problem is when it turns on I get the same error messages like in the first post and before I can erase everything it reboots. When I attach to KFU it says it's online and 4000 if I tell it to go to fastboot it says waiting on device.

On KFU, Just click root. Remember, this is while it is booting. By the way, what rom did you install. if you got it off Amazon and renamed it to Update. zip, after installing ics or jb, then my way should work. just keep trying and don't give up.

All fixed now, easiest way to fix it was to go into applications and clear data of the affected apps (calendar,keyboard and contacts) and it cleared right up and booted normally and now I am back to stock. Just glad it was something so easy. Took a couple of times of the kindle fire rebooting but finally was able to clear out the data affected.

should've thought of that at first. good job.

Kindle Fire 2 Bricked

Alright I'm sure you all love these posts... Well, I've been rooting for a while so I'm not really a novice, pretty embarassing this happened really.. So I'll start by saying my device was successfully rooted a little while ago. I installed one of the cyanogenmod roms at first, but the battery life was terrible so I reverted back to stock. I then decided to play around a little with the systemui to change the battery icon to something that actually displays the battery %. Worked fine for a little while, then it started to reboot everytime I turned the screen off. It started to get annoying, so I decided to revert back to my backup and the problem still continued. Then I decided to wipe everything and install the new rom just released a little while ago and as soon as it started up an app kept forceclosing so it wouldn't work. So I rebooted into TWRP to wipe and reload again but accidently formatted the internal memory. So I did some searching as mounting wouldn't work and used a tool KF2_SRT_10.2.3 to restore the files to start from scratch. I used TWRP to set it to boot fastboot and it installed without issues. Then it was stuck in fastboot, so I used the command fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1 while in command prompt on my computer as I couldn't obviously boot into TWRP to do it there. Then it poped up with the red triangle with the exclamation point saying something about the data is corrupt and I should hold the power button for 4 seconds to reboot or hit it 5 times to factory reset, so I hit the button 5 times to reset. Wasn't really paying attention to it at the time, then it powered down, powered back up and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
TL;DR, flashed stock system.img and recovery using KF2_SRT_10.2.3, kindle booted to error screen saying to reboot device to press power 5 times to restore, pressed power 5 times, kindle stuck on splash screen.
The splash screen blinked like it did before it booted to the screen where you choose to boot either TWRP or the system. Computer doesn't detect it. Any ideas where I can start?
And yes I'm 100% sure this is a Kindle Fire 2, came in black box and last I checked had OS 10.2.3. Hoping this can be fixed, if not I can probably get away with sending it back to amazon. I hope.....

You need a factory cable.
From there you can restore the system from fastboot.

Phone stuck at fire logo , irrecoverably bricked?

Hi,
I am new to xda and would like to thank everyone for their help in advance.
I have a fire phone that does not go beyond the fire screen. The phone becomes extremely hot and is stuck at that point. I tried calling amazon and since I deregistered the phone they can't do anything to help me. I don't have the developer mode enabled so wasn't able to use ADB. When I turn on the phone, it still makes sounds/vibration when i plug and unplug the charger, press the home button. Also, I can see internal storage when I connect the phone to a computer via USB.
I already tried to wipe the cache, factory reset the phone etc from recovery with no avail. Has anyone had this problem and has it been solved?
Thanks again for you time.

ethereal123 had a similar problem booting up Fire OS. The problem was fixed by reinstalling Fire OS. See my post to ethereal123, starting at 1 through 6. If that doesn't work, and your phone is still under warrenty, you should call Amazon back and get your phone replaced.

Constantly getting Android Wear and Google Play Services error

Hello everyone!
I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas. I noticed that my Huawei Watch recently started to show some errors saying "Unfortunately, Android Wear has stopped" and also the same but with Google Play Services. Some days ago it was appearing maybe once a day, but today started to appear every 20 seconds. Now, I restarted the watch and I attempted to do a factory reset and left the watch doing the reset some minutes.
When I looked back at the watch, I saw that everything was exactly the same, no reset was done. I tried doing it again, and then the error alerts now are appearing constantly, interrupting the factory reset. When I dismiss them, they come again immediately, I can only see the watchface for 1 second and I cannot even attempt to do a reset again (which might even fail again).
I don't know what happened but now my watch is contsantly showing these errors and even a force reboot is exactly the same. As soon as it reboots the error white screens appear as soon as it boots.
Is there a way to do this factory reset via the computer instead of the watch itself? I have read some posts and seems that factory reset fixes the initial not-so-frequent alerts, but now it is unmanageable. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello everyone! Don't know what happened, but I got lucky and after one reboot the messages kind of disappeared and I could do a factory reset. Seems everything is OK now

Glad it worked out well for you.

I've suddenly started having this issue ... and I've done a number of reboots and it still keeps crashing. When I do get the watch running again, it will run with regular crashes, and when I access the settings menu, the watch immediately restarts. This means that I can't get to the settings menu long enough to request a factory reset. Is there any way to do a hard (factory) reset without going through the menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can get into fastboot then from there you can get into recovery.
To get into fastboot
Phone must be powered down (which may be hard for you because you cant get to shut down menu...
Hold power / stem until it vibrates. Release then hold again. This should get you into fastboot.
Next press the stem button until you see reboot recovery. Now long press the stem.
Now you should be in recovery and there should be a factory reset option.
I was thinking you may have to let your watch battery die if you cannot get into the "settings" menu to power down. If you have to do that then you know when you connect the charger the phone will power on. Same rules apply when the phone is powering on from the charger...
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
