[Q] Is phone bricked?

[dirkgently68]

Booted into recovery today to install the latest Energy ROM on my Sensation and during the process an error message popped up and it said installation failed, then I rebooted the phone and it's just stuck on the HTC screen. If I pull the battery I can boot into recovery, but I'm not sure what I should try from there, I don't want to make things worse.

Info on screen when I power on and vol down is as follows in case it's important.

If you can boot into recovery, you should be able to flash a new ROM.

I'm assuming you didn't take a Nandroid backup before flashing?

if you can still boot into the boot loader ie if it still turns on than no you are not bricked. brick = nothing happens when you hit the power button ie it wont even turn on to the htc screen or boatloader. absolutely nothing happens, dead. as for your problem im not sure if i know what the answer is. hopefully you did a nandroid before you tried to flash a different rom. if so restore the back up and your back and running. if not i dont know what else to tell you other than flashing your stock ruu. keep in mind if you do this you need to run revolutionary again install cwm and root again (enrgy rom is already rooted so skip the rooting and flash that.) before you flash this time make a nandroid backup. hope this helps

Thanks very much for the answers, just re-downloaded Energy ROM and copied it on to the SD card using my card reader and it appears to have installed successfully this time, stupidly I'd remembered to do a Titanium Backup of my apps and system data but forgotten to do a nandroid backup, slaps self on the wrist and won't forget to do that again.

All I can think is that it must have been a corrupt download, mental note to check MD5 checksums from now on

Ah well, you live and learn. Glad you're up and running again.

PS Love the name too
