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?

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
I have a xperia u After replacing the housing touch doesn't seem to work.... Device turns on device leds blinks but screen is just black lighted without colors.... after booting up (after 2 vibrates thats how XU boots) when i press camera button it opens the camera (flash light turns on) when i touch where camera icon is it just captures the picture(flashes and i can hear the capture sound)
Simply the problem is touch works. its responsive but no colors it just lights up thats it. Digitizer works to (menu, home, back buttons) cuz after booting up when i touch it it vibrates.
(When i keep removing the battery and restarting a single time sony logo came and went)
Please someone help me to solve this issue.....
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.
So I rooted my HTC ONE S (villec2) today, and I wanted to flash a custom rom on it. I got a recovery (turned out to be a bad one, but it worked either way.... I noticed way too late it was made for HTC One M8) I got TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I got it working on my phone. I then backed up the system, and realized I messed up the recovery. In the meantime I got a CM 12.1 img on it and wiped the thing. The wipe removed the old Android system and the CM I downloaded was a bad download. If I go to recovery in the bootloader, it will just do the HTC white screen with "Entering Recovery" and the red warning logo but it won't get anywhere. It's just stuck there. So now, I'm stuck with a device that won't boot normally - just stuck on the white HTC screen, will boot into bootloader, and I want to know if there's a way of accessing the internal storage without being in the operating system. The worst thing is, there's no external SD Card, all just internal... Please god help me. I'm really stressing out about this since it's the only phone I have and if I lose it.... well I'm practically f-ed.... :crying: I know that I messed a few things up really badly and I'm not sure what state the phone is in.
Also just to add, the phone is barely loading up right now. I'm really scared since it's my only phone and it won't even boot normally right now. It's really acting strange, it was on 90% battery but now it might just be dead... i don't know.... someone please help
I honestly think I screwed it up.... All it does now is just a white flash / flicker when I hold the power button (both only power button and vol down) and that's it. I'm really disappointed right now but oh well.... Maybe just because the battery is not charged.... Also been looking around the other threads and looks like a lot of people had the same issue but with 0 replies...

I have no way of trying the stock rom. I cannot access the phone itself because I deleted the OS. There's a weird thing, that if I plug the USB to the computer, it does the connect windows sound but the phone's internal storage is still not accessible.... So as it turns out I can get to the freaking bootloader but then it just turns off with a white flicker a second later.... I have no clue what to do :crying:
try to hook your device with windows and hold the Volume Down and Power
to see if it can detect it

Alright. I slept through the night and now I'm here trying to resolve this again. Status now, is that when I try to boot it up, it just shows a white flicker and won't turn on. no matter if i try to boot in bootloader or normally. The device doesn't appear to be charging when I plug it in because it doesn't show the LED light for charging. I think it's hard bricked. I tried other threads, showing bright light to the proximity sensor, but nothing happened.
//edit// - My bootloader was unlocked, and I was on S-ON (HTC ONE S, S3 villec2) that might change on your phone and might make the process different
So I fixed it. I will leave the tutorial for anyone in the future that might be having the same issue. If you "locked yourself out" of your system, eg. no OS, and broken recovery just plug it into the computer, try somehow getting into bootloader, go into fastboot and plug the usb cable to your computer so you're in Fastboot USB. Then you can flash a recovery on the phone using a fastboot command. I believe it's fastboot flash recovery _filename_. Just google that, there'll be plenty. Then you have the recovery and you're back on track. After that you can get the rom you wanted. Just don't make my mistake, and check if your device is exactly the same as the files you're downloading for it. I messed up there . Anyway, good luck everyone!
t
yea
Happy to hear that u have fixed your phone add "solved " to the title and add a fast tutorial for help purpose

Hi There.
I Have an HTC One M8 International Version has not been rooted just plain custom stock installed, it was working Fine, all of a sudden it went off and wasn´t able to be turned on, at this point it would just vibrates repeatedly and was flashing led indicator on green or orange (times blinking/at times solid).
I read on some other forums it might be a battery problem, so i swichted the battery with no results, kept doing the same thing. as getting deep into this some other peeps suggested it might be the screen so i changed the display.
Now, with the new battery and a new display i manage to get the screen to work but i just keeps rebboting (on htc logo) after 10 secs even if i power it off it will turn on and keeps rebooting, im able to get to hboot menu but no furthermore, wont go to recovery at all, and will restart boot loop when chose any option (fast boot, reboot or recovery).
Help please since it is not root, quite sure it hasnt been erased the rom.
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Any help or suggestion to get it to work again, just as a factory device.
i was trying to install cm14 i started with unlocking the bootloader. I used the android one toolkit (made by xda developers) i knew it didnt supported my phone but still i used the tool. i pressed the unlock button ,device booted to fastboot mode, process was ongoing but it was taking a long time after 5-6 mins i unplugged the usb cable(my usb debugging was on) and then i replugged it and it showed unlocked successfully. but it didnt rebooted automatically when i pressed the power on button the screen flashed the karbonn logo and then it turned black. my device uses sc8830(though i am not sure i need to know how to find it). Now can i repair my phone? If yes How? Thanks
