Help! As a noob to all this jargon I hope someone can help with the basics. I recently tried a hard recovery (power & vol+) as my phone locked on the htc logo on every power up. The battery is now drained and next to impossible to charge. I got a little juice into it and tried a factory reset bad move. Now I get the red triangle and exclamation mark. . how can i fix this problem?
Do you have twrp kk recovery installed? If so, you could try to flash the insert coin Rom provided by whooper. Just download it, put it on an sd card, put sd card in your phone. Click install in recovery find the zip file and flash. Aroma interface kicks in and it's all self explanatory there after

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
I was trying to install custom 2.3.5 ROM to my HTC, because my 3G network is not working, as somebody told me that the 3G will live again if I update the ROM to 2.3.5 sense 3.0.
Then, I have installed the Advanced Ace Hack Kit and proceeded the rooting procedures. Everything looks okey and finally I get into the menu for installing the update.zip from SD card.
The outcome is that the phone stays in the "HTC Welcome Screen" forever...I have tried many things, nothing has changed since.
There is one thing I remembered that I did wrong was that I forgot to pull the battery out after the rooting procedure has completed. May be this is the problem.
Any one can I me how to rescue my HTC Desire HD?

power off the device, then pull the battery. then put the battery back in and volume down+ power should do the trick

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
If you can get in to recovery. Get a Rom on your sd by selecting: mounting sd storage.
And flash it with recovery.

Download a different rom (or redownload the same rom) with your pc and then move it over to your SD card. Then boot into recovery (The black screen with orange letters) and do a complete factory reset and wipe the cache partition and then go to install .zip from sd and choose the new rom and BOOM! It should be fixed.
If your phone boots into recovery then it's not bricked really. You can always fix it. And just because it doesn't boot the first time doesn't mean you need to redownload the rom either. But seeing as how you tried it twice and it's still stuck on the bootloop then it probably is the rom.
HTC Desire HD brick
I've got the same problem :/ HTC Desire HD brick -.-
DHD Bricked
I have also bricked my dhd and my volume down button seems to have died on me completely...I could cry.
HTC desire HD bicked after RUU install

Now I can't power on device. When I connected it to the PC after one vibration I see in device manager only " HTC Android phone USB device "

Remove your battery and replace it into tray after few minutes, then hold Power + Volume down buttons together to going to green boot screen, choose Recovery. It worked for me

Every time i do that it seems like recovery is starting but after 2 secs it turns off and trys to boot but theres no rom or the rom is corrupt, thats why i tought maybe re flashing the 4ext recovery might allow me to flash a new rom. is there any way to flash 4ext or cwd from the hboot?
Hi,
I wasn't aware that I was required to use the CWM in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899592 thread instead of ROM Manager from the Android market so I downloaded that one (ROM Manager) instead. I went in to recovery mode, I had the phone rooted and a .zip with the new custom ROM on it. I chose to install from .zip, and there was a couple of errors, like it said it couldn't open the .zip, so I tried doing "wipe data/factory reset" since I thought it would just reset my phone to the default, as to when I bought it but now after doing that all I see is the HTC EVO 4G splash screen if I try to boot up. It freezes/hangs on it, and then if I try boot up with Power Button + Volume Up button it goes in to that recovery mode but it's just a dead android with a red exclamation mark. I'm not sure at all how to fix this, I've tried a lot of different things. I'm thankful for any help possible, as a poor student I can't afford to buy a new phone every now and then.
Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
