There are a lot similar messages in the forums at this site, all from people with bricked phones and waiting for a solution that is not here (yet). The easiest and quickest way to have your phone up and running again is to send it to either you provider or imei-check. But this will cost time and money. In the meantime, there are a lot of tips and tricks (not allways working though) in the various threads, you might give that a chance. What is the risk? I would say, there is not any, since your phone is allready dead and the warranty went out the window the moment you tried to flash another ROM.
I took the risk and went to the store and told them that my phone was dead after installing a program, they looked at it and just send it for repair, so far so good. hope it will come back alive. From now on no more risks!! thanks for your tips people!! Let you know when phone is back and fixed...

Hello all I have managed to brick my phone
I just got a new phone back from Vodafone as my old phone was sent back due to white screen problems.
When I got my phone I tried to restore my data using sprite back up. Stupidly I forgot that I had upgraded to wm6 and now all I get is the Vodafone start up screen.
I can not speak to the phone using active sync as it does not recognise the phone.
I have tried using the the micro card to upgrade but it just goes to the bootloader screen
this displays HERM200
1PL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.09
Any help would be gratefully received I have been trying various methods set out in the forum but to no avail.
I will take it in if I have to but as I only just got it back am reluctant.
Thanks

Hi guys
I am having my friends Artemis in my hand. I never used this phone. But because my friend knew that I am a member of XDA he has challenged me to solve this problem. I have been trying hard to really make it work but somehow or the other its just not working. I tried microsd way, official ROM way, radio upgrade way but its just not working. Its showing update 300 error on all such attempts. Here is the technical information.
ipl 3.07.0001
spl 1.11.0000
I think its CID unlocked but yet its not taking any ROM.
It just gets me greenblack screen other than the bootloader whenver I try to switch it on.
Would love to know why is it happening as soon as possible, or else it will be shame for me inspite of being member of such a smart community.
Looking forward...

Same is the case here, I am not so well versed with this old p series phones. I am still waiting for some solution to this grave problem. I took it to some technician but he said its motherboard problem which is something I am not convinced of.
I tried mtty being in bootloader but nothing happening. No support for the same problem is there anywhere. Looking forward to have someone with same problem experience.
Plz guyz this phone is dead,help us to make it alive. Cheers.
so sad. what we do now?
Actually my friend(my cousin) got this device from a scammer & I being the one who bought on this behalf has to make it right. It was just a few days old & here I am with this dead device.
I will disclose the name of that scammer so everyone at xda should beware from indulging in any transaction from him.
I got this deal from some other India forum.
Regards
Corepda
I had a similar problem before when my orbit locked during a flash, from my knowledge your only way to fix this is by using an sd card, I used the sd card method with my carriers wm5 rom.
Note i had some problems with the SD Card flash method at first until i eventually used an old 256mb card, try a few different ones, borrow a card if yo need to and remember not sdhc and format it fresh. I wish you luck
Since you guys can´t enter bootloader, u may have a brick, .
Have u tried to get in contact with the QMAT guys?
Maybe they know how to fix it.

please help im wishing to upgrade my offical rom from 1.43 to 1.48 but says my phone is not suitable??????im totally thick coming from nokia to windows,i did use search but was unable to find the answer.
thanks phil
Hello and welcome on board,
Can you post up the exact error message you are getting please?
Also read this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477 which you will fond useful and come back with any questions.
Incidentally you are not a fool for asking as long as you have searched first.

hi mate thanks for the reply,when i go to the htc offical rom download,i'm asked to enter my serial number,which i do but says my device is not suitable and won't let me proceed any further??
cheers phil
got a major problem now ive tried to update to 1.48 but it crashed now i get a warning traingle on start up,and can go into bootloader screen and it says upgrade rom code error please try again???someone please help.i hope i havent bricked my phone
Is your HD2 branded? (bought it in combination with a contract?)
hi mate its on vodafone contract buts its not branded.
Hi again,
Have you tried to hard reset your phone to see if the old rom boots up again?
If it does not then you might want to reflash your existing rom onto your phone using the SD card method (look at the threads at the top of the Rom Development page to find what you are looking for).
If it works and you are still keen to upgrade the rom you need to read the threads on using either the Goldcard or HardSPL methods to upgrade.
Come back and let us know how you got on.
WB
hi mate i was having the exact same probs as the chap in the hd2 bricked thread,same messages etc and stopping at 9% i took there advice and reflashed the hpsl again which has worked a treat,i'm now a little dubious bout trying to upgrade as i don't fancy bricking it.
ive emailed htc to see why i cant upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48 seems odd it says my phone isnt suitable.
p.s thanks for the help mate much appreciated
OK, wait until you hear back from them. However if you are now up and running and have installed HardSPL, I think you will find that flashing a new radio on its own might help solve your problems.
I think if you look at the thread you were referring to (this one...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084), IIRC, MysticGenius runs through a procedure for doing this that helped him sort out a similar problem.
Good luck with it.
WB
PS: Lesson learned here though is to read exhaustively on the topics on here BEFORE jumping in as fixing problems later can be both time consuming, if you are lucky, and a pain in the rear. As for that horrible sick feeling you get when you think you have bricked £500 worth of phone....wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!

Hi All,
After spending a large amount of time trying to find a solution for the SPL 1.24 to hack. Mainly the Telstra Australia WM6.5 Upgrade. Combining the many efforts of XDA Members I finally got a proper working hack going. I thought I'd post it straight away for the rest of the world to see.
First what you need to do is download the WM6.5 Upgrade from the HTC Website. When you open this you need to go to Start - Run - Type %TEMP% Find the location where the extractor has dumped the files and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to MAPLIMG.nbh. Copy this to the root of the SD Card. Reset your phone into Bootloader and let the flash start. It will fail at 10% than reset itself and install it properly.
From here you need to download a cab clearsecurity.cab which is suppose to be for the Samsung Blackjack 2 but it enables the HTC Snap to be hacked.
From there download the desired Custom Rom and run 1.19 auto.bat and watch the screen go black and the custom rom install.
Any Success???
Hi, can anyone let me know if they have had the same success???
Hi Roger,
Thanks for the post as it worked a treat for me, I was able to flash the HTC Snap after following the above steps. One thing I didn't do is backup the Telstra spl 1.24, Do you know where I can get a copy from?
Once again thanks for the post.
Mr.D
THis looks great. I'd love to try this now, but before I do, I'm hoping you might be able to answer a question of mine, to ease my mind:
If you need to reinstall the original Rom and SPL 1.24, is there any way the the Telecom company can see that the phone's firmware has been previously changed?
Thanks.
Flashing back to Telstra 6.5 Rom
Hey guys, I believe you can just download the latest 6.5 Telstra Rom for the snap from the HTC website. I havern't tried it since I have hacked the phone and the only reason why you would obviously do it is for warranty. Actually I also found out that you can get WM 6.1 rom but you need to contact HTC and you can upload it from there FTP. Sorry I can't provide any more assitance maybe when my phone breaks and I need to flash it back I will post up what I have done.
Hi Roger
Thanks for the reply. This is what's stopping me from trying to flash the ROM. Knowing whether I can restore it back to it's original condition without the telecom company knowing it's been flashed. The phone is only new and if it does develop a hardware problem and I had to send it back, I'm sure they won't fix it under the warranty if they can see that it's been flashed.
If as you suggest, it's just a matter of re-flashing it with the original rom, then that's fantastic. But, I'd really like some firm confirmation before going ahead.
The ROM developed by ookba looks AMAZING and I can't wait to try it.
Thanks.
Flashing Advice
Hi Badcam,
I have owned many HTC phones and I have to say the Snap is probably the most durable out of them all. I find with the Snap and the newer models of the HTC phones from australian carriers they really lock them down and you don't get the full functions as what you pay for. Worst of all they infest the phone with all these carrier features that are not needed.
It is really your choice flashing your phone. Every single phone I have had I have flashed and never had problems only when I drop them lol. For warranty purposes you can always flash back to orginal rom and just tell them thats how you got it. They really can't say much. But I did abit of reading and when you do upgrade the rom from HTC website it does install SPL 1.24 back meaning if you want to flash it back you need to go through the hack again.
Hope this has been helpful.
You said it Roger.
There's so much Telecom rubbish on this phone, it's not funny.
Well, I'll give it a go this weekend. If you're happy it's going to work, I am too. Thanks very much for your advice.
Hey do you guys know how much (in USD) a Telstra SNAP is out there if you buy it outright? Can can anyone ship me one to the States?
What about a TelecomNZ one?
http://store.telecom.co.nz/mobile/pay-monthly/htc-s523
NZ$499.00 is around US$361

I'd be happy to sort something out for you. PM me if you'd like.

Thanks but that's kinda rough. I get the MAPL100 (Dash 3G) here for $100. Looking to get a SNAP S523 for around that, even used. Let me know if you run across one. Thanks!
It's atrocious. Believe it or not, that's a good price. It's just come down NZ$200. Of course, I had to buy my two days before the reduced it.
I'll keep an eye out.

Hi, can anyone tell me how to get the device into bootloader mode? i have followed the steps, but getting it into bootloader mode and then letting it hardspl from the sd is not happening :-( THANKS!!!
Can't find clearsecurity.cab. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Attempt to answer questions lol
Benzin,
Type in google "clearsecurity.cab download" and find the mediafire link
If you have problems please let me know. Maybe XDA-Developers already have it posted.
wcampagne,
So you are getting into bootloader right, its just not picking up the MAPLIMG.nbh file. You have renamed RUU_Signed.nbh to MAPLIMG.nbh. Also a train of through if you have tried applying previous Roms before hand I suggest you go to %TEMP% file and remove anything that is there that has reference to RUU_Signed or the rom at all. You are probably uploading the wrong file as it might be cached. As I said its just a train of thought. If you have any more problems please feel free to post up and I will figure out a fix for you.
Ookba,
Ebay is your best bet. I got my handset for $150 AUD brand new on bid.
Works great for me and I thank you so much!
I just got a used HTC Universal. It had a generic WM5 install on it. I came here, looking for a WM6.x ROM. A couple years ago, I had great success doing this with an HTC Wizard (which I still have) -- I know how to flash a ROM. However, with the Universal, I am not having any luck.
The device comes up in bootloader mode just fine. But no ROM I have tried, ever boots up. I have tried the MTTY DOC format, I have tried using MaUpgradeUT, I have tried using the ROMUpgradeUT.exe that comes with the ROM's... nothing seems to work. If I understand the various posts here -- the device is acting like the Carrier ID is still set, and no ROM will work until I clear the CID and/or find a ROM that matches the CID. But, I thought that the MAUpgradeUT was supposed to clear out the CID? Is there another utlity for that?
I have spent basically 8 hours today, trying to get this to work... I am willing to ship this to someone in the US and pay $$$ to get it working again. It's a nice device (looks brand new) and I really want to use it. It was working just fine on WM5, until I got the bright idea to re-flash it.
Can anyone help?
hi again... found a copy of TML v8[1].7.1 21028 regular 64MB and IT WORKED!. My phone is no longer stuck in bootloader limbo.
however, this ROM seems to be hard-wired to look for a TMobile network? I have an AT&T GSM SIM... my phone isn't connecting to my provider, at the moment.
THanks to all for past and future help.
