unbricked

Your phone is said to be bricked when you screw up with your radio partition of your phone. This contains the bootloader which loads the operating system. This is a hard brick and needs expensive hardware to fix. I can only help you with a soft brick.



Thanks to benjamingwynn for the above info. Original post

It is a good practice to keep at least 3 nandroid backups on your sd card or computer. Also, making a goldcard is also necessary to run an RUU and to flash a PG76IMG.zip these things make it easier to unbrick your phone

Install ADB and Fastboot here first.

A Soft brick may be of many types.

The 3/5/7 vibe Brick (common with A510c)
This is Qualcomm Diagnostics mode.

You have to use a PG76IMG.zip extracted from your RUU, and not the file given in that post.




Phone doesn't boot but goes to recovery saying something like E:/ Invalid command argument
Your boot partition is messed up
-->How to fix it
-Flash your ROM again
or

If that didn't work,

am new to this field. I was increasing to internal memory for my wildfire S.
Firstly i rooted my phone following one thread.

Then unfortunately i flashed ROM without any backup (as i was not aware).

Now i have no backup. My phone is not starting.

I can open it in"bootloader" . but it strucks on white screen with HTC logo.
Bootloader is showing unlocked now..

    Your phone is said to be bricked when you screw up with your radio partition of your phone. This contains the bootloader which loads the operating system. This is a hard brick and needs expensive hardware to fix. I can only help you with a soft brick.

    Most people seen to not know the difference between a soft brick, a boot failure and a total brick.

    Boot failure: commonly referred to as 'the HTC screen', 'the white screen' and of cause the 'help me my phone is stuck - problem'. This problem can be caused by many things, including the kernel, library's and ramdisk (think of a ramdisk like a map of your phones internal hardware). This can easily be resolved by flashing a new ROM.

    Soft brick: Is where your phone gives out no screen output, but does give out some vibrations or you can access the bootloader utility/hboot, this can be fixed by flashing an RUU

    Brick: your phone is as useless as a brick. It does not turn on nor make any vibrations, and you can not access the bootloader utility. There is no way to fix this.

    Here's some ways to avoid soft bricking/bricking:

    - Don't flash unofficial radio firmware
    - Don't flash unofficial hboot software
    - Don't throw your phone
    - Don't flash anything suspicious in hboot
    - Don't flash an RUU not designed for your phone

    Here's some common misunderstandings:

    - Roms, on there own will never brick your phone
    - Kernels will never brick your phone
    - The bootloader is not the radio
    - Too many flashes will not brick your phone (however, you may make the internal memory smaller by KB because of bad sectors, but that story is for another time :D)

    To extract from the RUU,

    1. Launch RUU (For this to be easiest, close all other running applications)
    2. At the screen for the README, launch Windows Explorer
    3. In the navigation/address bar type "%TEMP%" without the quotes.
    4. Choose the first long-named folder (actually, the most recent) and open it.
    5. Follow folders until you get to where there is a whole, big list (it should only be 1 or 2 subfolders).
    6. Look for ROM.zip
    7. Drag to desktop
    8. Rename to PG76IMG.zip
    9. Put it on SD Card.

    I'm sorry that's my mistake you have to do that with a PG76IMG.zip, not pb31img. Extract it from the ruu of your carrier and then follow the procedure
