[Q]stuck at splash screen and wont go into bootloader

[brenstar]

So I just used Bootmanager for the first time. I was having alot of issues so I rebooted and now it sits at the splash screen and it isn't going into the bootloader. Kind of freaked out.
What do I do to fix this?
Thanks.

are you s-on or s-off?

 

[brenstar]

I'm S-off on 1.49

edit: sorry, I meant 1.40

If u can get to recovery, go to install zip and find the boot manager folder, look in there for a phone Rom folder, their will be an update.zip, flash it and reboot.

 

[brenstar]

I can't get to the recovery. It wont even boot to the spash screen unless it's plugged in.

 

[Will32]

Pull the battery, put it back in, hold vol down and power, what happens?

 

[brenstar]

Well if it's unplugged it wont do anything. But, if it's plugged in, it goes to the splash screen.

 

[Will32]

Plugged into what, ac power or USB to comp? Try taking out the sd card and then try vol down and power.

 

[brenstar]

Either the usb to computer or AC. It does it for both.
Took out the sd, no change.

I haven't seen a prob like this, without hboot you'd never see the splash screen, it has to be there. Maybe leave the battery out for a few minutes then try holding vol down+power. If you can get to hboot then you're good but with no hboot your not so good.

 

[brenstar]

Hmm, so my red charging led is blinking now while the phone is off, wasn't doing that before, any idea on what that means?

 

[Will32]

I know that when I drain my battery all the way till it shuts off, it won't charge and I get the blinking red led. I have to put in a spare battery and let the other sit for a few hours befor it'll charge.

 

[Will32]

What's it do when u just press power? Just goes to the white HTC screen and stays?

 

[brenstar]

Yeah it does that, I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my vol down.

 

[Will32]

Does it feel like it "clicks"? Take the case off and try to press vol down+power.

edit..Lol, just tried it without the case and its not as easy as I thought.

 

[brenstar]

It does click, I tried it without the case, it was working earlier today though. The last time I had it on, I was rebooting into recovery and the screen went black and just sat there, so I did a battery bull and that is where I am now, Would something have happened if I did a battery pull in that state?

 

[Will32]

I wouldn't think so... I've had to pull it in situations like that, generally you just don't want to pull the battery during an ruu update or a pg86img update, when its writing to certain partitions. What recovery are you using and what Rom did you try to flash with boot manager?

 

[brenstar]

I'm using TWRP 2.0 and my phones rom was on mean rom. I put ics playground on slot 1 and was having alot of issues getting the phone to wake up and random freezes and crashes. I attempted to boot back to my phones rom but it wasn't doing it. So I attempted to flash Chads AnthaX ICS playground kernel and bootmanager crashed. so I decided I would just boot into recovery and do flash the update zip for bootmanager.
That is everything I did

It just sounds like something weird happened to your recovery partition. If you pull out the battery and put it back in, then plug a usb cable into your computer. Do not turn it on. Run the command "adb reboot bootloader" (from your computer). that should turn on the phone and put it into the bootloader. From there, redownload your custom recovery of choice to your computer. Make sure you have a .img file. Type in "fastboot flash recovery [NAMEOFRECOVERYIMAGE].img". Now run your custom recovery and restore the update.zip for your ROM.

I'd be very surprised if your phone is broken. Sounds like an easy fix and I wish I could help more. You really can't do anything without getting to the hboot screen. No ruu, no turning s-on to re downgrade, no loading a recovery from fastboot.... I'm trying to think, maybe somebody else will jump in here and teach both of us somethin.

I know that a couple of other ppl had prob with a certain release of playground and twistedumbrella fixed them right up. Maybe you could hit him up. He's way more pro than I am.
