I think I bricked my ppc 6700

I wuz flashing it went to 99% and gave me an error so I reset and it wuz still stuck so I took out the battery and now it won't do anything when I plug it into the pc it says unrecognized usb device is there anyway to get the pc to recognize it so I can fix it any help is appreciated

bootloader
Put it into the bootloader, the PC wont recognize the device until you flash it again, but you should be able to fix it. Get into the bootloader by pressing the power key and the voice commander button (looks like an old tape) at the same time and while holding, press the soft reset button on the bottom. This should put you into the bootloader mode, (the backlight does not light up, it just says bootloader and USB or SERIAL in faint writing depending if you have it attached to your PC)

invoking boot loader
Yes...I had a similar issue yesterday and thought to use the button sequence to force the bootloader. The other thing I had to do was get a flashlight and note the bootloader version of 2.05. I then ran the latest update tool from one of the kitchens and that allowed me to load the image of choice that I placed in the same folder.

how did you do it?

I used UNI_bootloader EXIT.exe to get mine back. same situation, v2.05 bootloader, unplugged at 99%. stuck at v2.05. run the exe, and its fine.

Sadly enough i need to post this.. i have both the 6800 and the 6700, i did the same thing twice ... starting with the 6800, had no problem fixing that one, but the 6700 for some reason after a stock rom flash that didnt take completely its stuck saying Serial (top), 1.00 (bottom) , tried uni_bootloader, tried reflashing, for some reason it cannot catch the device, however, the drivers are loaded just fine, that much i know it worked before. any ideas on how to kick start this thing ( i have no memory card at all in it , havent been able to find a miniSD around here anywhere ). Any ideas would greatly help. Thanks in advance.

Touch hangs and won't do anything

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my Touch. A couple of days a go my phone was empty, when I tried to power it up again and start it, but then it hanged in the first screen (the T-mobile screen for my phone). I read a lot on this forum, but I'm a newbie so it's hard for me to find the good solution. I could get the phone in the bootloader ( triple color screen), but it doesn't give the RUU letters in the right corner. If I connect the phone threw usb to my computer, it doesn't give me anything. Active sync doesn't go green. I tried the following things,
1. Go in the bootloader (this works!)
2. Disable the USB connection in active sync
3. Start an USB-sniffer (didn't find my phone)
4. Tried to use MTTY (gives me the error, can't open USB connection, something like this)
5. Tried to flash a rom while in bootloader screen, but the flashing utility can't connect to my phone.
So the main problem is that the phone can't connect to the computer, what do I have to do, to put a new rom on my phone, so I can start the damn thing again??? Please help
Thanks

have you tried hard reset ?

still nothing
I also tried hard reset, still hangs in the first screen, there's also a new problem. I can't put it one, and when I put in the adapter (to charge) it give a red light (constant), what to do, what to do?

no tips?
nobody has any solutions?

HTC 8125 boot problem PLEASE HELP!

I have a problem with my device.I thought maybe someone could help me.
The problem is that the device stuck at the boot screen (shown in screen) and I can't install windows or something,because when i turn the bootloader mode it's shows that it's connected to the pc,but it's actually not,PC not even shows that the device is connected.
I have second battery,but that doesn't changes anything..
Could someone please help me?

More info please!
What Operation System is running your PC?
Is it connected to a "powered" USB (like on the back of your PC)
As far as i can see you have a G4 phone, patched with an .Olip.
You should _only_ flash it with G4-aware ROMs!!!

Windows 7
I think i tried on xp to..
tried to the front ant back to.

Ah
You tried it with XP too?
The colored boot state doesn't say anything.
It's just saying that RUU put your device into this state.
With XP this state would soon turn into an upload screen.
"tried to the front ant back to."
Yes, the front USB may or may not have enough power
So let's try XP and backside USB!
For me it sometimes worked after rebooting XP.

ok,I will try on xp and on the USB in the back,and I tell you the results.

So I have tried to install on xp,but it can't verify the device,like it's not connected,it even won't make a sound that it's connected.Any suggestions?

Could anyone help me?

Let us know what ROM you’re trying to install, and let us know if you’re putting the phone in boot loader mode yourself, or if the phone boots and goes to the boot loader on its own, as this can sometimes cause a connection problem.

Well I installed a ROM earlier,when i turn on the phone i get the screen in the pick and nothing else,if I go to bootloader mode it won't connect to the pc.I have no idea what to do,please help.

Try this.
1. Download “Wizard Love ROM”.
2. Press the soft reset button, then press and hold the camera key, you shouldn’t see any splash screens, it should go straight to the boot loader, if not try again.
3. Connect the phone to the PC, you will see “USB” in the lower left corner, if not repeat step two.
4. Now flash the Wizard Love ROM.
Hope that helps

That's the point.I know how to enter to bootloader and all that,but when i do,it won't connect to the pc.

i can't believe it.It just start working again.by it self.And booting normaly.But i'm still interested why he was stuck..

[Q] Tattoo Bricked

Hello,
I tried to update the radio and the SPL version on my Tattoo. Everything went fine until I had to reboot my phone. It shut down alright, but it never powered on again.
These are the following problems I am having with my Tattoo at the moment:
Cannot power on phone.
Cannot boot into recovery mode.
Cannot boot into FastBoot.
When I connect it to my computer via USB, nothing happens.
The only thing that it's responding to is when I connect my it to my charger.
Does anyone have a solution or is my phone dead forever?
Thanks ahead!

bump? anyone?

Send it back to HTC. If anyone can do anything about it they can. There's nothing else you can do. Sorry

boo.. that sucks..
Well, thanks anyway

Ehm, I don't want to post a New Thread so I'm gonna ask here:
Does anyone have the pinout for the Tattoo?

Take a look at this. I guess they fix such things (but you never know if they just are after your money. http://www.ort-jtag.com/index.php

Yeah I saw that already. Also, there is a file name Tattoo Jtag on their website in the Support section. However, to access that section you have to enter your products serial number (which is I'm guessing the phone's serial number). I have tried several serial numbers (including mine) and all of them were 'invalid' so I never checked the files out.
Also, they only have one thing in the shop which is a kit and it costs $330 so no thanks

I have a similar problem, I would like to share my knowledge although I must be completely out of way.
My experience is based on the BeagleBoard and Angstrom so I really don't know the HTC HW and Android at all...
- The device boots from an xloader that instructs the device how to proceed with the boot
- the bootloader takes place (great u-boot in the beagleboard ?? in the HTC phone) the bootloader allows for ROM or kernel+rootfs flashing and much more
- now the kernel is loaded.....
User mode applications do not allow to have access to the memory area where xloader and u-boot lie so they should be safe all the time to allow for device reflashing.
So we should have access to the device via bootloader anytime if we knew how... maybe somebody can help us further.

Same here...Exact same issue...No Recovery mode...No USB Connectivity, Screen turns on but is blank, alhough I did see Tattoo popping up initially but not any more...All I can see is the LCD back light turns on...Battery does charge...Also when I try to enter Recovery mode screen keeps blinking as if it is trying to restart again and again...Someone help

similar problem here, but i get absolutely no response from the phone, it doesn't even recognize the charger. do i just throw it away and buy a decent one or is there a solution?

Sparky the only way for now to fix that click is to bring it to some service point that have that ort jtag, because only way to fix that is to writte new boot sector on phone . Im sure that i know at least 2 services that have ort jtag in Novi Sad . Look for marvel *Miroslav in Ns, or send me private message

same thing happened to me
just this morning, and in desperation I tried hard to remove the batt cover (prob pressed some of buttons, I felt a jerk and ho it was back in amon ra`s recovery, nect time I just removed the battery waited for 30 secs, then press off&home and hold it till recovery came back) but for good half hour NO REACTIONS , ABSOLUTE BRICK, nothing when I put the usb in PC or in socket, dead screen, no sounds and no reaction to ANY combination of keypress. I guess you could call me lucky (in last few days I flashed at least 3 versions of froyo roms, this afternoon I bought =8GB class4 Kingston, formated it in PC FAT32 default size, copied EVE. from my 2gig rom then just turned it down (yes I am brave) and put the 8gig in tattoo, it works like a charm (finger crossed it will continue)

So is there an available Jtag for the Tattoo yet?

I'm in the same situation. No recovery no fast boot, Damm!
I`ve update psfreedom with psgroove_hermes_v4 zip file then my tattoo reboot and now I only get the Tatto title screen but nothing happends.
Somebody have clue to give back life my phone.
Thanks!

if you can get to the title screen, that means you can connect it to your pc via USB and recover from a backup (I hope you made one)

You have to enter in fastboot.
Hold volume down and turn on phone.
Cheers

Sorry but as i said before, I can't access to recovery menu neither fast boot menu.

Rogers focus stuck in loop... Any ideas?

I too have a focus that is stuck in a loop at the Samsung logo. I bought it like that thinking I might be able to resurrect it as another toy. I have had lots of experience with Samsung, HTC and Sony droid phones, this would be the first WP.
It is a I917R on Rogers, there is no hardware revision under battery. I am assuming it is V1.3 as I have only seen software for the that version posted. I do not know how the phone got to its present state. They just said it happened during normal use?
I can get to both download mode and factory reset. I have flashed the stock rogers files without errors, but I never get the screen connecting to pc. The phone just restarts after successfully flashing, only to reboot continuously. I have been able to install MAGLDR and flashed every v1.3 ROM i could download. All without errors, just the same outcome they all just keep displaying Samung logo and then reboot. Only thing I noticed is that when I flash MAGLDR and custom ROMs it takes the phone longer to reboot.
I never get the connect to pc if I hold camera and power, nor do I ever get that screen when I flash a ROM.
Not sure if situation is similar... I am puzzled?

Your situation is very similar with other folks' here, unfortunately. It's not clear what causes it and there's no solution as of yet. For some, re-flashing worked. For others, a new battery. Most are stuck on loop...
When you connect the phone to USB when in download mode, what do you get?

When I boot to download mode I can flash Rom with WP7. I get to the yellow triangle download mode and flashes ok, no errors. Just noticed that it never goes to connect to pc mode.
Same with when I format, no connect to pc mode.
Nothing I try seems to help.

I see. What messages do you get when you connect the phone to the PC via USB, in either mode?

No messages, just shows up as Samsung USB composite device, Samsung mobile modem and Samsung mobile modem diagnostic serial port in download mode.
In magldr it shows up add Microsoft USB sync.
The only thing I forgot to mention was that when I flash with WP7 it finished without error in 90 seconds, but on the phone it says it will take 10 minutes.

Not sure what more I can add...
You could try different downloaders. Please see this thread for 7.41 downloader, maybe that helps?

Tried both, same outcome... No errors, just keeps rebooting... No Connect to PC message.

Im having the same problem. And i can see many other people who are having the same issue also. So i think its time to dump those phones, not worth a penny. The one i have in here was actually working, i followed all the directions in order to flash it. And still the phone got stuck into that bootloop. Its ridiculous from what i can see. I think ive read once you put that SDmini in it the phone will use it for the OS. But the one i had was working actually without it, i could turn it off as many times as i wanted and nothing happened. But if i tried a factory reset data would stay and diagnosis mode wasnt working. So i decided to flash it. Big, huge mistake! Hope you have better luck than i did. Because im dumping this one....

Same problem here, ive checked a couple of threads and no solution so far
