Hey guys/gals,
I'm trying to get a hold of a broken Sprint Mogul for a project Does anyone have a broken Mogul (Sprint Version) that they want to donate/sell?
You can have some cash for a late holiday present and make my holiday season great all at the same time.
Thanks for reading

Broken Mogul
I have one you can have. Insurance from Sprint never sent me a return envelope when I got my replacement. It has a screwed up screen, but otherwise works in all capacities. Long story short I dropped it hiking and the screen broke (like you can see the fracture marks). If you're willing to throw a couple dollars my way I wouldn't complain, but otherwise I just want money for shipping. If you want to pay for it we'll work out a price and I'll post it on amazon and send you a link, so that you have an easy way to pay for it (or at least the shipping) and somewhere you can rely on in case something weird happened. Send me an email or reply to this post.
So the phone has a clean esn. i.e. can we activate and test on a sprint account right away(after replacing the screen of course?
Has anyone found any answers on how to unbrick a htc mogul?
What about the jtag?

Can you get into bootloader?
no I can not. the screen remains like turned off. the phone doesn't vibrate, nothing.
using the usb connection, activesync obviously doesn't work, but using QPST I was able to open the usb port, under the phone column it says: Q/QCP-XXX(Download)
I appreciate any help with this matter.
(first of all, I didn't knew where else to post this topic to ask this, excuse me if it's posted somewhere wrong)
So I kinda gave up on my magic, R.i.P.
now i was wondering...
that if I take my phone back to the store... and that i shouldn't get a new one immediatly, bcuz they have to send it to htc facotry... how big is the chance they will know I rooted it and it didn't just mallfunction from its own?
or isn't it possible that they just throw in some new rom? They made it so it shouldn't be to hard to get that fixed...
anyone perhaps has experience with sending back his phone or going back to the store?
tell me what happened... did you get a new one, did you had to pay something to get it fixed or just bought a new phone...
all information is welcome either here on the board or by email first_dimension at hotmail dot com <-
thanks ahead guys...
greetings
a desperate dumazz belgian guy who ****ed up his phone badly
What has actually happened to your phone, can you describe the problem please, it may not have to go back to the repair center. Thanks
uhm, while flashing it, it fell down of my desk, battery got disconnected, ...
now i get my "proximus" (wich is my mobile provider) startup screen, wich doesn't go away
cant enter boot menu (by pressing menu + power on)
nor safe mode (home + power on)
cant even connect to my computer to flash a new rom or anything...
so it's completely bricked i been looking on the internet for days now tried every solution...
nada man...
nothing more than my startup screen...
(edit)
the only thing i can still do is like, when i hit the trackball and power on button it lights up a blue led...
but i read every magic does that even if not bricked...
I heard that someone thought they bricked their phone because they couldn't do anything with all the button combinations but when they tried fastboot it worked and unbricked their phone. I mean he didn't go into fastboot, he just plugged his phone in via usb and just tried fastboot.
I'm saying try fastboot. If that doesn't work then I'm sorry but you have to return it to get it fixed but since they can't get into anything I'm sure they won't know that it is bricked.
thanks for the reply m8, but i tried this already...
just sais waiting for device or sumthing...
i think i read that answer on some other board aswell that someone was lucky enuf to have that but not here, not in my case
bummer i guess...
My carrier offers insurance to replace a phone even if it was lost or stolen. If this was an option for you, I guess you would have already thought about reporting it "stolen," but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
Sorry to hear about your phone.
I bricked my mytouch and I just called T-mo customer service and they're sending me a replacement for free since it's still under warranty.
I was wanting to put the uk3rom onto a previously orange branded phone.
I was told to boot up into recovery and flash the file splhard1_update_signed.zip.
Upon doing this my phone will now not start up?
I have also noticed that the charging light does not come on, when plugged in
(well no light comes on anyway)
I was asked to format the sd card and put DREAIMG.nbh on and then reboot using home and power/on. It didnt work
I took it to a local repairer but he said was bad flash and that it was now irrepairable. Another one, said it was beyond him *-(
I have since been told told that if i can find a repairer that uses ort jtag, they would be able to restore the boot,which will allow connection then 2 be made to pc. Then hopefully i can then flash original orange firmware back... is this possible guys?
Does anyone know of any such repairer in UK
cheers

how bout HTC they bfixed my bricked hero if they ask tell them it ran out of bat updating to 2.1
cool....
Do you happen to have any contact numbers for them in UK
How did you get on with yours?
thanks
Beano
Contact number is here htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx
Ummm, why were you flashing the spl for a dream?
And really if you do this, remember you're technically committing fraud, since you caused the damage to the handset yourself.
I am sure HTC will wise up to this "trick" pretty soon.
BTW, op, flash only hero roms on a hero. I'm sure you've discovered that now, but just reiterating.
If you can find the JTAG schematics for the Hero chipset, and find the right points it is possible to JTAG yourself.
You'll need an LPT port on a PC, HJTAG, NoICE Programs, some cable (I have previously used an LPT cable to JTAG a device) solder, some board to solder to, wire, resistors, and a logic chip.
If you're not up to that, which is possible due to the circumstances, buy a new phone, as you don't want to be commiting fraud now do you!
Now back in Canada, i sent off to HTC.
They advised me that they will perform the repair, but they have identified that a firmware alien to them resides on the phone. They suggested i invalidated my warranty but for 100 bucks, they see to it....
a hard lesson but one ill learn from...
thanks all
so, ive definitely learned my lesson about buying things off of craigslist..however, it was the ONLY way i could afford this phone, and ive been DYING for this phone. ANYWHO, it was "Bricked" when i bought it, but was guaranteed it was fixable, guy says hes been selling these for the past few months, and hes never had a problem. i dont want to fix it myself, but just want to know if it IS fixable. i dont know what was flashed on here, wont turn on, no charge signal. all i get is when i plug it into the pc, im told i need to download the qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM, then im told it cant be located. should i have hope since ATLEAST the pc recognizes something is connected or was i just bamboozled? oh...it also wont recognize as connected in the windows mobile device center or activesync.
thanks for any info or help you can provide!
it REALLY is appreciated.

Can you boot into bootloader. If so, just HSPL, run a Task 29 and flash a ROM.

and no charge light, nothing, right?
Its a ..51.. version radio vs tmous phone. Its dead. The only way to repair it is with a JTAG device. Hunt around for specialist phone repair shops, theyre the few places likely to have one, or if you're handy with taking appart, you can buy jtag boxes for around 150 dollars or so, plus another 15/20 for the cradle to hold the mainboard, which will let you re write the bootloader (or some such voodoo). google "ort jtag" or "riff jtag".
I dont know any specifics about it, theres a thread somewhere in this tmous section where a guy talks about it, he seems to know what hes doing.
yeah, no bootloader, no light, nothing!
I gave it to my dad to look at...he said its dead, he's going to send it back to HTC, hopefully they replace it..im so depressed, I've been wanting this phone FOREVER!!
has anyone dealt with HTC? how long does a repair take? cost?
loads of people have successfully claimed on warranty, just be sure not to mention flashing and all will be well.
"it was like that when i woke up"
Hello,
I am new on this forum (speaking of posting) i've been reading alot on this forum.
unfortunately, not enough..
Yesterday i got a htc hd2 from my dad because he couldn't work with it.
the only problem was that if he was calling the other person heard him like being in a bathroom or so,
I tought maybe it was because of the software ( i have put android on it about 2-3 month's ago maybe a bad version)
So i decided to put another version on it..
Well everything worked fine for me , set everything up but internet wouldn't open,
So i decided to reboot the phone, but that's where it went wrong, the whole phone died , not responding on powerbutton or anything else,
So as far as i know it's bricked.
the only wat to unbrick it (i know) is by using a jtag riff box, i don't know anyone in my country (the netherlands) who have it.
Now i don't know what to do.
sell the phone as broken for parts like display etc.
of shall i buy a box myself (107 euro without connector)
What are the points of concidering besides of the money,
is it enough to buy the box + connector and then download the software, or do i need to buy licenses too?
if not it's very attracting, an maybe i can even help other people who have bricked his/hers phone
If anybody have a trustable site for me to buy one in europe also please let me know.

Hi,
Can you get into bootloader?
Power on and hold volume button down.
Can you get into tri-color screen?

No, unfortunatly even that is not working,
The whole phone is not responding on anything.
i can push my powerbutton, but even no light goes on , and nothing appears on the display.
That's why i guess it's bricked (also because i am using a t-mobile sim even it is a HD2 which is sold by a hi (kpn nl) provider)
Nobody has an idea what's best to do? or does know someone in the netherlands with a box?
It would be easier to help you if you would have said what you've done to the phone.
I find it very hard to brick this phone if HSPL was on it, as there is nothing the Malgdr or CWM can do to ruin it (to my knowledge).
Try these two things:
1) Is the battery charged - sometimes that might be the problem
2) Connect the phone to your PC, and see if it recognizes it.
Let us know how it went.

Sorry, don't have a box.
But, Check the battery pins, commonly, one of these are bent, and that's why it won't boot-up.
Does it use Magldr? or cLK? (Eg, when you booted, did you see a black screen with white text, and gogogo as the last line?(magldr) or did it just boot as android(cLK).
If cLK, put your phone in charger and see if the red light turns on.
Hope this helps a bit,
Eelke
I had mine jtag here in teh US I am not sure the cost involved but he can fix it for you if you care to have it shipped here. The person that did it is a member of xda and gave me fantastic service I can send you his website if that interests you. Just PM me if you wish.
Good Luck
Riff?
Never heard of one. Will a repair shop not have one?
Check the battery compartment and see if any pins connecting the battery to the phone are bent in a wrong direction. If so, correct this, put battery back in, connect phone to charger / USB and try turning it on.
Okay, back since a while.
Last week i found my HD2 again, (still not working.. )
So i thought about going to fix it.
I found out it isn't the battery though.. i tried another one in my phone, still dead,
My battery in another phone.. and that works.
So now i want to buy an riff box for sure, i fond some at the internet but i don't know if i can trust those sites...
First one is : http://gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/riff_box_jtag.php
Second one is: http://www.multi-com.pl/
third one is:http://www.ipmart.com/main/
Has anyone of yours some experience with one of these three shops?
1st one would be my first choice because they have all i want to order,
2nd one is the most expensive,
3th, miss something i want, but i can make it on by my own.
So can you please help me figure this out?
Best recommendation from me and your hd2, if you want to learn, is http://www.segger.com/j-link-edu.html (it no need credits, +++ another $, it's tootaly open for all you want with your phone) + great revskills software !!! I am happy user with all that!!! It's not automated process like in riff box but after working with it it's very great and easy!

Indeed it's pretty sh*tty.
Thanks for your link munjeni, but the riff box attracts me more, just because of the easyness.
Nobody some experiences with these sites please?
