Phone does not boot - HTC Incredible S

recently after i flashed a rom, i press reboot, then the screen shows nothing, not even the HTC logo (it might have booted, just not showing anything, i hear it vibrate), i wait for 20 mins but screen still doesn't show anything, tried flashing different roms but still the same! Any idea why?
also the bootloader doesn't show up on the screen, i have to guess whether recovery might be selected and only recovery shows up..

[Q] HTC Vivid - I Think I Soft Bricked the Phone. Any Help?

I don't understand what happened. One night I was listening to music and the phone went dead so instead of putting it on the charger, I let it sit. The next morning I went to charge it and wouldn't turn on.
I know the phone isn't hard bricked because occasionally the backlight will turn on, but no bootanimation or full power on. I rooted the phone about two weeks before this happened. Now when I plug it in the computer, it tries to install drivers (QHSUSB_DLOAD).
If anyone can help, please do; I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
I believe it may be soft bricked based on what you said. You have to have certain tools to fix it which means sending it in to HTC to have it repaired. So you are not able to get in to hboot at all?
Not at all
I can't do anything to the phone. The only thing it does is light up occasionally. If I were able to get into HBOOT I would know how to fix. I have gotten the phone stuck in a bootloop before and fixed it with no problem. I might be taking the phone to the store tomorrow to see about getting a new one but I wish I could just fix it myself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548678&page=3
Thought I remembered reading about this.
It's in emergency download mode..not a good sign but still likely fixable..but, not with anything available to us atm. I read another thread a while back where another vivid owner was stuck where u are..and so far as I know, no solutions found yet for him..but from what I was reading that mode is a failsafe from Qualcomm which - with the right software - should allow someone to flash the phone with working software.. I dunno..if you're not a programmer be very careful because one wrong move in qhusb_dload and you could perma-brick it for real. Good luck man.

Thank you guys, I'm gonna try to fix this, do some research to try to find a software to flash it. I really appreciate the help
FIXED!!!
I managed to fix my phone. After I got it into the bootloader, I just put PH37IMG (or something like that) onto the sd card and ran fastboot to flash that. Now I got my phone running smooth again.
Once again, thanks for your help.
And can you tell us what you did to get into zhe bootloader?
I'm curious too..how did u get back to bootloader?
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using xda premium
He pbly had what's called a blind bootloader. Sometimes when a flash goes wrong your bootloader is there and working but it won't show on the screen. So you just press the buttons to boot into hboot and even though you can't see it its there and working.

What's the secret?
I got the same problem. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thank in advance.
similar issue
So I had a similar issue where my phone went dead (battery died) and when I went to plug it in, it wouldn't charge (the backlight would stay on for 4 seconds and go out). It would never try and install drivers, it actually wouldn't do anything. I have been unlocked and rooted for some time now and haven't tried putting any ROM's on it yet. So this wasn't a matter of a bad flash or anything.
Long story short, I was able to get it into hBoot but now I can't get into recovery and when I try and boot up, it gets stuck on the boot animation. I've tried loading PH39IMG.zip files, even pushing recovery files onto it using fastboot commands and nothing. I have the Rogers Raider and I can't find any RUU files for it. Even then, I wouldn't know how to install the original RUU without being able to get into recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Hey sorry I haven't been on here in forever. But when everything went wrong I just kept trying to get into bootloader and after many attempts I finally got it to work. There was nothing special about it no secrets

So instead of "fastboot flash..." I type "fastboot run <insert .exe file here>"?
Not quite sure how to run the RUU from fastboot (or what the commands are in fastboot for that matter).

What he means is lock your bootloader before running the ruu put your phone in fastboot USB mode hook it up to your computer run the ruu.exe file on your computer and it will return your phone to out of the box stock

I've tried to re-lock the bootloader but it won't re-lock. whenever the phone needs to be rebooted, it'll just get stuck on the HTC logo screen. I've tried running the RUU but again, when it reboots the same thing happens, stuck on logo.

If you have flashed a new HTC ROM, check in the Settings and make sure that the FASTBOOT option is not checked. This is one reason why you wouldn't be able to boot into the bootloader screen.

[HELP] HTC One won't boot!! No OS... Stuck at splash screen. :(

HELP!!! I tried to install a ROM and all my data were gone and my SD card files look pretty messed up so I decided to wipe the system and return to Stock later.
After wiping the system, I realize the OTG storage cant be mounted and the HORROR begins. My phone got no OS to boot.
I tried to flash stock boot image and recovery and tried installing the official RRU. It failed. Now I can't even boot to fastboot or recovery.
It is stuck at HTC Quietly Brilliant splash screen.
I know some of the steps I did were pretty silly.
I need this phone tomorrow.
Pleaase HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
when you press power+volume down (without releasing the keys) for a few seconds (could be 20-30, doesn't matter), what happends?
first of all you data from you sd wasnt gone it just gets moved to support 4.2.2 multiuser.
what you should do is use all in one toolkit to run the fastboot commands for you. then i would sideload arhd 10 to your phone.
im running it now and its absolutely perfect

Can you boot into recovery mate, go into bootloader and reflash custom recovery if you cannot. Get into recovery and adb sideload either Android Revolution HD 9.4 or 10.0, the rom should begin to install once its transferred over, It takes a while so let it do its job to transfer, also make sure you have up to date adb drivers and files, otherwise adb sideload wont work.

Actually I mentioned that in ARHD thread. Before install arhd 10, I only had 7GB available. After installing, I had 25GB available. I tried to find my data everywhere with Root explorer. It's just not there anymore.
I have encoured the same issue and the only solution for me is to plug into pc and run the solution All In One !
I'm enabled to reboot into recovery and do a nandroid restore !

Don't panick, plug your phone into usb, go to cmd and try a command "adb devices" if it sees the device then try "adb reboot bootloader" if it doesn't see it, then I guess you have wrong drivers, there was a thread on xda with the correct ones

You need to boot in to recovery and flash it again. The installation didn't finish so of course it's not going to go any further. It happens all the time.

hold power+volume down with phone under a bright light until it boots to bootloader. you might want to try a rom that doesnt use aroma until your comfortable with recovering your phone when something happens

[Q] Xperia Z can't boot to recovery

Hey needing abit of help here
last night i rooted my xperia Z and installed CWM the locked bootloader way
after the cwm finishes installing the phone boots into cwm right away and all works fine...however...
i read on how to boot to recovery myself by turning the phone on and when the LED'S start changing colour to keep pushing the volume up key.
for some reason my when booting my LED goes green and stays green and the phone boots straight away normally so if i want to access cwm i have to keep flashing it to the phone first but i dont get why.
am i missing something here or have you any idea whats went wrong?
please help
thanks

If you haven't managed to get it installed from the computer then unfortunately you need to reflash and start all over if that happens, or at least to getting rooted and CWM reinstalled then you can just flash your backup.
I ran into a bootloop after flashing a mod my phone didn't like lol. I used the Sony update service to flash the firmware back again although it failed 1st time then I had to get the pc to pick up the phone and thank god it did I started again. So I rooted the phone again and flashed twrp using the app you recommended. But still when the phone boots up the LED doesn't change colour it just stays off or goes green on boot up. But I have the extended boot options to get into recovery mode now so it's all good. But thank you for your help m8
