Brick or not Bricked that is the question?

While booting a back up of MIUI 1.1.28.1 my phone rebooted went through the process fine, then right after I got past the lock screen it shut off, and I couldn't turn it back on. Just before this I updated to the newest Clockworkmod 3.0.0.7. I thought my phone was done for so i let it sit for the night on the charger in the morning i tried to turn it on using the power and volume down button and it booted into recovery so I went along and tried a normal reboot, same thing got to the lock screen, powered down on it's own again. I've been trying to turn it on again now just to get it into recovery and maybe work with it there but it's not going for it. Any suggestions?

Since you can get to recovery screen it is not bricked. In general you can not brick by flashing a rom, only brick by flashing non-working radio or hboot
Here is how to fix it.
1) Download another ROM to the SD Cards. Pick a stable one, I recommend CM6.1
2) Boot into recovery and enter Clockworkmod
3) Wipe everything (Cache/Data/Dalvik cache)
4) Flash new rom in recovery

I got into recovery once after the initial shut dow, now i'm having the same problem as prior it simply will not turn on i've tried most combinations of the buttons and nothing seems to work any suggestions for getting it into recovery again? I realize that I need to boot another rom now but I need to get the phone on first haha. Thanks again

There's only one combination that should boot into recovery.
Turn it on holding down the volume up arrow. If it doesn't do that then you may have seriously messed up or even bricked your phone.

Volume down* up is qualcomm diagnostics. And that's to get into HBOOT, not recovery lol. Also, holding down on the optical trackpad works just the same as if you're holding volume down.

That should do it! Let me know if you need anything else.

This happened to me yesterday, and here is how I eventually fixed it.
Let the phone boot up as far as it would go.
Pluged in my USB to PC
Ran reflash_package.exe from unREVOlked
Booted up normally.
Hope this solves your issue.

Slong427 could you let me know what your fix was? i have been plagued with this issue for two days now and any rom i try gets to the unlock screen and shuts down. thanks, ian

[Q] T-Mobile G2 can't get Clockworkmod to work after downgrade

Hello everyone!
I've been trying to find anything about this issue, but nothing seems to work.
I had OTA 2.3.4 android on my t-mobile g2. So i have decided to downgrade it, to install CyanogenMod.
So I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Everything went fine.
Then rooted it following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
Then this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod to install CyanogenMod, but ClockworkMod doesn't seem to work. When I do Wipe data/factory reset, anything in Clockwork doesn't work. Even reboot or power off. This icon with yellow cirlce with hat on it comes on and does nothing. I waited like 20 mins, still nothing. If I push power button it goes back to clockwork recovery with all these options, but nothing isn't working.
I installed it using Rom manager, so its last version 5.0.2.0 (first i had 3.xx version but it acted the same way).
(oh by the way, i tried update it using OTA update from air, it freezes when HTC logo comes on and does nothing, factory reset is the same way)
I have root and S-OFF.
Please, guys help!!!

Disregard this first stuff, although it is probably a good idea to use a 3.x.x.x recovery anyways atm.
Are you sure that you were unable to use CWM recovery properly when you were on an earlier version like 3.0.2.4? The 5.x.x.x versions are a bit buggy I wouldn't bother with them at this point.
Go into ROM manager, hit menu > settings > 'Erase Recovery' set to ON.
then, go back to the main ROM manger screen, hit 'All ClockworkMod Recoveries' > select '3.0.2.4' > OK.
You will then see a progress bar at the top, and then a message saying you've successfully flashed recovery. Now power off, hold vol. dn + Power and enter the recovery again. Try doing some functions and see if it works.
Don't try and do a factory reset etc. through CWM if it does work though, the first thing you should be doing is going to 'backup and restore' > 'backup' to make a nandroid backup of this current setup. If successful, THEN you can wipe data and try to flash the CM7.zip.
----------
Not sure if you're aware either... You should be using the trackpad to select items in the CWM recovery. Not the power button (turns on/off screen) or menu button (shows/hides menus) or anything. Scroll with the trackpad and press down to select highlighted items with the trackpad. The only 2 buttons you need in CWM recovery for 99.9% of operation is the trackpad and the 'back' button.
----------
Also as an aside, don't try to accept any OTA's or anything. They won't work and may cause issues when you're rooted.

BTW disregard most of my previous post. I'm 99.9% sure you're just hitting the menu button thinking that its selecting things, but the MENU button just hides the menus, it doesn't select. Like I said, use the trackpad to select the menu items!!!
As I said in my previous post though, I want to reiterate: do a nandroid backup before wiping data. Its just a good idea to have your rooted 2.2 ROM as a nandroid backup to return to if something goes wrong with the flash. Just make it easy on yourself and do a backup, THEN wipe data and flash your .zip.

Duh, stupid me! Its working, actually it was working all this time. I was pushing a wrong button, power button. Use a track pad! Dumba**
Thank a lot!
martonikaj +1 thanks!

Of course, glad you figured it out. Be sure to make a nandroid backup before and after flashing CM7 .

Does my radio need changing ?

My wifi keeps turning off after every half hour or so if I'm not using the phone. Iv tried changing kernels and Roma and yet the same problem comes back after about a week after installing a new rom. I've since downloaded a radio from here and tried installing from zip via recovery but it just says error in installation. Any idea where I'm going wrong ?

Last i checked (which was a while back) you can not flash a radio via recovery, it has to be done via ADB or PD98.zip. The topic from where you got the radio should have stated this.
Also more to the point of your original problem, have you tried looking in wifi settings to see if it has a sleep policy enabled or not ?
Settings>Wifi>(Press menu and Select Advanced) and there will be a tab that says something along the lines of "Keep wifi on During Sleep" and select "always".

Ha, never knew there was an advanced option. Why would it be on sleep after 15 minutes on default ? Thanks very much, that should fix that problem. I'm still having a few problems that is not changing with switching roms or kernels, such as having to press back about four times on dolphin browser before it actually returns to previous page, and slow rotate, slow performance, weak network signal etc, etc. Really think I could benefit from using a radio that actually matches the Rom I'm using.only issue is I have no volume button as it's fallen off so if I ever need to recover should anything go wrong, I won't be able to.

You will still be able to enter recovery ect and make you backups flash roms, by installing the clockwork recovery app from the play store, and boot to recovery that way, which if your volume is broke i am assuming that is how you are booting in to recovery either that or you have a rom which has that option attached to the power button, but you are right about the fact if you ever encounter a problem or boot loop.
You may want to get a replacement power rocker from ebay or that, either that if someone knows how to enter recovery with out a volume button which in a boot loop.

10j and keeps asking me to select Home

If I long press the home key it takes me to Google Now, if I then press the home screen again it asks me to Select Home, which is select as "Home" and is ticked as the default. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop that happening.
any suggestions on how to clear this?

I'm getting the same problem and I'm on 10g firmware.

did you flash or did you got updated to 10j, if you flashed you SHOULD have done a cse flash and there woudn't be any issues now ....

Full cse flash for me, only thing I did afterwards was to do a restore with the built in lg backup and restore function. I heard that was safe to use and normal practice to restore all my apps.

Device rebooting over and over

I was checking my phone to see if there was a way to Sim unlock the phone from the service menu and once I didn't find the menu needed I was about to exit the service menu. As I was exiting the service menu I believe I turned something on or off not. Now my phone Note 4 AT&T reboots over and over. Any ideas what could have change or what I need to do to correct the issue?
Thanks

Well, pull the battery put it back in and hold volume up, power and the home button, once the screen comes on release the power button only. Use the volume keys to navigate and go to clear cache and hit power once, let it do its thing and than reboot the phone. If that doesn't work follow the above instructions and instead of clear cache do a factory reset.

Tried both wiping cache and factory reset. After factory reset, the phone tries to apply the android updates but doesn't finish as the rebooting is still occurring.

If it's under warranty take it back and get a new one.

I tried turning on art and it kept rebooting but that's not what you did. Anyways maybe try flashing a the stock firmware through odin? Or down kies and there may be a repair mode
