hi,
did someone ever tried flashing a non-magician-rom ? im curious.
would it brick my device ? or could i at least re-flash it back to the original rom ? as long i don't kill the bootloader it should work - shouldn't it ? (can i kill the bootloader by flashing ?)
what similar hardware is there - himalaya maybe, alpine ?
Bricking a Magician is easy. I have 2 Magicians, and 1 Charmer. The Magician's bootloader, is very delicate, so not attempt to flash with any other non-Magician ROM (unless you are only experimenting with the RADIO ROM).

Hi all,
Hello guys, I'm just beginner in such devices, but I'm really want to repair it by myself. Please help me !!!
So, I have bricked device with corrupted bootloader, but I have a possibility to flash its ROM with programmer (extract ROM from device, flash it and insert again to the device).
Does here FULL DUMP of ROM for XDA Orbit available?
1. First of all ROM should contain primary bootloader sector (as I understand - IPL).
2. The second thing is SPL - there are no problems as I see.
All the other sectors isn't mandatory as I understand. If ROM contains IPL & SPL, it will be possible to load any other ROM using activeSync with ROM update software, or flash from SD-card.
May be such ROM still not available and my idea has no chance at all?
What are you thinking about all this ?
Hello, I need some help from local guru`s please.
I tried to unlock X7500 with AthenaUnlocker by Olipro, from sticky.
In step2 (unlock radio) i had an communication error, probably I didnt cheked my battery, and the procces stopped in the middlle.
Now I got black screen, cannot sync with activesync, phone not start-up(((( at all.
Tryed hardreset, try to repeat the proccess in boot-mode, but no succes.
Unfortunatly I cant flash new Rom, cause this one is uniqe from operator with hebrew build-in. There is some other solution I can try? Maybe some repair tool?
Pls, any help will be useful. Tnx in advance!
br
Try to take out you memory card and sim card.then go to booloader mode a try to flash official ROM.
Yeah, i guess i can repair phone by flashing rom, but i asking if there is solution without flashing? Cause there is no oficcial rom by cellcom_il.. (((
Thanx anyway.
PS. sir, can u pls give me link where i can find oficcial roms? tnx
I used the wrong bootloader upgrade tool the first time and had the same problem - only the bootloader would come up and I thought I had bricked it. I had to re-flash with the stock ROM (available here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/advantage7501/software-downloads.html ). Then used the bootloader upgrader ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846 ). Then you can upgrade the radio to 1.57.
Anyone need a building block?
My HD2 is a total brick. HSPled and flashed rom (Romeos by Monx). Rom installed properly but the device cant start. Even after hard reset the thing is stuck at hTC white screen! Turns out that I should have flashed compatible radio first; But I am learning this after the fact. Nobody told me so.
Now please tell me what to do before i do something stupid. How do I install a compatible radio on a comatose HD2. Can I flash radio from the bootloader? Do I have to downgrade the rom first? Or must I install from the Sd card.
Guys I think a massive depression is setting in.
boot to boot loader, flash the radio using customruu just like you did the rom. job done.

relax, nothing irreparable
go to bootloader mode - connect to usb - flash proper radio as you flashed rom - job done

+1 on this.
Don't panic. Experienced the same behaviour with same ROM (and proper radio).
Enter the boot loader and reflash via USB or microSD (both ways worked for me).
l.o.l. yeah, if hspl on and you used customruu it's all fine.
Even if not, you can flash stock always with goldcard.
surprised that it did not say on the first page what radiorom was recommended/necessary. In fact most 2.xx based roms state the need for a 2.07 or 2.08 radio.
1) reset the phone
2) hold on to the volumn down button till the 3-coloured screen (that's bootloader)
3) flash the radio ROM via USB
4) reset
Solved
Problem solved!
Ha ha apparently the panic was as a result of a false alarm. I flashed a compatible radio from the bootloader and all is well now.
Thank you all for the tips. I just needed a true and tested method to resolve the matter. And by the way Romeos rom by Monx is the bomb - better than Windows Phone 13 Series!!!!

Hi All!
While I was flashing wapvirus' WM 6.5 build 23004 Titanium Neo Shadow last summer I did some mistakes and my Prophet got broken. I've flashed a NVID rom and I saved my lovely PPC . But some times I power off and power on (shutting device up not the screen) it locks down in cloudy Qtek screen or depletes its battery When it locks down I perform a hardreset and it opens. But I'm sick of this. Is there a cure for this? Please help this newbie
Edit: I used that NVID rom for a while and flashed Gullum's TNT v4.
No answer means my Prophet is dead?
Hi There
What do you mean by "mistakes" and have you performed a HardSPL especially after flashing the Qtek NVID.
The other thing to do is to use Lokiwiz 2b to unlock the CID (superCID)
This should give you a few starters or if in doubt have a deep read of the Wiki page.
I mean I did something wrong. I don't remember.
And I didn't performed a HardSPL before flasing rom or flashing NVID.
And thanks for your advise but Does CID unlock damage G4? There's an warning like "WARNING DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOU HAVE A G4 PROPHET (IPL/SPL 2.xx.0001)
" in Wiki.
Hi There
Okay forget the Lokiwiz for now as I was not aware your device was a G4 and make sure you flash the phone with a HardSPL before you do anything as not doing so has caused a majority of your problems.
Once you've flashed that then flash the phone with the Qtek NVID or another one I found that works just as well is the Orange WWE as this also contains a NVID. Once you have flashed the ROM it is vital that you perform a hard reset as this will solve most minor issues.
See how you get on with that.
So you say I should flash a HardSPL and then flash the Orange rom, right?
That's right make sure you flash the HardSPL before the new ROM.
As a precaution I always flash the HardSPL before installing any ROM, although you don't actually need to.
In fact I can't flash things to my Lovely Prophet 'cause I have to study hard (really hard) for a short time. Thanks for your help Dixiesmu. If I succeed or fail I'll bother you. Be sure of this.
HI all, dear rom creator,please help me to send back my shadow to life,recenty,it worked fine,but in another way,I've seen the wm6.1 update from t mobile and I've flashed it to my phone,I'm sure I've sspl and uspl before I've done it,but it seems that the file was corrupted when i've flashed it into my phone,and now,my shadow don't have any os image into it,it just hang on the stick together screen,I can do anything like hard reset,enter bootloader,but can't flash any over os into it including all t mobile shipped rom,so I think that it is cid locked because when I try to flash a rom,just 2% and none,please dear rom creator,what shoul I do?what can I do for unlocking the cid in bootloader?what solution can be found to my device???
