How to full erase the flash and then reflash from the begining - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

i have buy a p3300, unlocked from factory,and the previous owner have try to flash the rom and for some reason the flash procedure never finish.Maybe the phone have damage flash chip.
The previous person send the unit to authorize service center and the cost for the repair is to high.

Or how to reflash the bootloader?
Also I am searching for level 3 service manual with schematics on gsm,gps,power circuits but I can not find it.
Thank you for helping me

ROM or the motherboard ?

I attemted to flash my Kjam to WM6 & it went dead. It wont start at all. Kjam Service centre says there is a problem in the mother board and it needs to be replaced for $ 300+........now if flash fails...the ROM must have gone corrupt , what has it to do with the motherboard ?
can anyone throw light on whats the real thing ?
Deven.
take out the battery for hours then re-install it. try to boot in bootloader mode first(3 colors). If it work, it's the time to re-flash the right rom now!
When you start the device up what happens?

Nobody here is providing any details so everything is going to be just a guess. If either of these phones were a G4 and you flashed a rom that tried to update the IPL/SPL then its very likely you have bricked your device. But again, with no information about what rom you were trying to flash, what your IPL/SPL were beforehand, or details about what it means that it won't turn on, everything is just a guess...
Bricked Kjam
its comletely dead.....i had disconnected the battery for a couple of days then connected it but it wont start....i checked the battery using multimeter it is fully charged....neither does it power ON when connected to mains...It doesnt get detected when connected to the USB port..thats obvious since it is not powering up...so cant flash it again.. now m in a fix as to whether to spend another fortune after this sweetheart or keep it in a showcase ....
Deven
( a bricked KJam )
If nothing lights up that looks pretty terminal. :-(
Maybe you could buy a broken Wizard with a working motherboard? Alternatively maybe sell off your mostly working Wizard on this forum to raise money to buy a new device?
Sorry if you can't get it going. :-(

Hermes 100 brick mainboard

Hi i am new here and my hermes brick, no gsm, and splash on windows screen and i can not in in Kitl mode
I send my phone to reapair center and there want change the mainboard.
Can annybody help me? to get new mainboard?
I sent a bricked Hermes back for repair a couple of months ago and the motherboard was going to be more than 6 weeks from HTC, so I think it'll be difficult to get one from anywhere else.
But, before spending loads of cash on a new board, try posting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and someone may be able to help you fix the phone.
Give as much info as possible about your brick:
Which OS version.
IPL/SPL
Which radio before NO GSM message.
Is it hard SPL
Can you connect to PC and try to upgrade. If so, what is the error message.
Are you Super CID.
How did you brick the phone (eg power loss during upgrade etc).
There is a chance that someone can help - and it costs a whole pile less than a new motherboard (even if you pay the elf ).
Good luck.

Bricked Tytn

I had a BSOD on my laptop during a radio flash and was left with a phone that got stuck on boot screen, with NO GSM on the display and no KTIL possibilities. Sent it back to Brightpoint (HTC contracted repair shop) and they wanted 350 euros to replace the system board.
So before i sell as scrap on ebay - i wanted to check that i hadnt missed any miracle cure that may have been found.
Thx

Are you on Hard-SPL ? Could you use PC to access the Hermes ? If so, try the method to flash the ROM with a memory card method.
Good luck
Memory card flash
Thanks QQ88 - I will give it ago when I get the phone back!
If that doesnt work is there anyone with serious phone skills (thinking of pof-a-likes here) wants to earn 100 euro to help get this phone back to life then PM me.
I''ll give this a shot.

This is a tricky one but I believe that you can use the same flash file that you were using and just try this:
You should know your SPL version before going too far with this. Hopefully you can get that info by trying to boot it and if it can get to the very first splash screen with the red text, it should show it there.
Turn on the phone and let it try to boot ... Hold down the Power and OK buttons at the same time and while holding those buttons down, hit the reset button at the bottom of the phone and you should then be given the multi-color weird screen that's given right before the flash. Then, connect it via USB. Load up the flash software and it should ask you which version you're running of the SPL, select it and then click next. Auto-detect won't work if I remember correctly. Then just push forward and it should go through.
If all else fails, look up Mr. Vanx's information ... he's quoted all over this site and has his own site that has a LOT of information about bricked hermes phones.
GOOD LUCK! I hope it works.
Had a similar problem last week. Download the ROM at the top of the link below and it should unbrick your phone. It worked for me
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Good Luck
Thank you to all that gave their input. Can confirm that I have tried all methods incl. SD flashing but due to corrupt CID and SPL 1.09 it is time to wave the white flag and give up.
Will keep up with the threads to see if anyone manages to find a way to resurrect TyTns with corrupt CID and SPL 1.09

bricked TyTN - still operator logo

Hello
First I am many sorry if repeat but I still not know what I can do. I buy mobile and I thing is Type 2b (still on operator logo) but I donĀ“t know how I can find solution, because I tryed flash with many roms and I tryed latest radio rom and everything done but when is finish it restart and than is still in orange logo (or HTC and etc). and about two seconds show NO GSM.
I have SPV m3100 with SPL-1.40.Olipro.
PLEASE help me I cant find solution !!!
Many thanks and many sorry if repeat threat
Try a hard reset. You DON'T have Hard SPL on your phone. It may be unlocked but it may not be Supercid. The best idea would be to flash the original carrier rom on to it and see if that fixes it THEN flash Hard SPL on it.....
Good Luck...
Its possible you may not be able to recover your radio rom...
Hello,
Thank you, but I tryed originall shipped rom and original rom from orange site. Everythings done fine. I tryed also radio rom and it done OK. I dont know what I can do.
Please can you send me links for there roms which I can flash?
I wish I can repair.
Thank you in advance.
If the shipped rom fails you are probably looking at a permanent brick. There are some other things you can try using MTTY but it may not be hopeful. This is one of the pitfalls of buying a "bricked" phone. It may not be fixable and you spent $$$ that could've been spent more usefully elsewhere...
Hello,
thank you for reply, and how I can use there MTTY and when I start it it is like other working pda and it flash led lights, only for second, like when you flash new rom and when start and then it flash light and then screen change for "tap on screen" but here only flash and dont change screen.
Do you know what I mean?
Does it say "tap on screen to setup"?
If so you may be looking at a bung digitizer. You will need to replace the LCD to fix this.
Hello,
no, it is only like it, it stay orange logo, but when "blik" "NO GSM" it blik all display and than stay in orange logo too
Do you thing if JTAG help me?
can't say, never used. You do need some technical skill to use the Jtag method...
yes I have some technical skills but I dont have any schematic of jtag cable.
EDIT: I find some pdf with two schematics:
1. Holly Gates' Schematics for the JTAG Dongle
2. Modified Schematic for the JTAG Dongle Circuit Using 74LS541
Which can I use?

HTC Magic White

Hi friends I hope you can help me with my problem.
I have in my hands a htc magic 32b was not but I wanted to root
charge the battery as well, I saw a tutorial on how to do this, follow the steps well but did not read well when he says that to reverse the steps and put it back to factory. flashe then a file named sapping.zip and everything went well but the result was me the following errors:
1 - bootloader - error
2 - boot - fail
3 - h-boot fail
4th - radio fail
I think these were the errors
then my HTC'm dead, orange LED lights only when you connect the charger.
and if I press the combination Vol-down the center button and the back button
Blue LED lights up but the screen does not turn on, or the computer recognizes it fasboot mode.
can someone tell me how I can repair my precious android?
thanks in advance and excuse my English but use the translator of google I am from Central America.
Yep .
1. I prove myself HTC is bad phone
2. I thing you downgrade via goldcard then try to put RADIO and SPL and while flashing the RADIO your phone dead right
3. In this point only JTAG can help
3.1. This stupid sapphire cost 30E second hand
3.2. Riff box , JTAG , Olimex- usb tinny and etc cost from 70 to 160E
3.3. In service for JTAG it cost 40 to 60E coz the funny techs there think they are God coz they open the phone ,solder ( some have HTC connector and use them without solder) then click flash flash flash with some open source program some dump files like SPL RADIO RECOVERY and etc and coz of this they wanna grab your money coz in them eyes you are tinny people who beg them to fix you phone
4. In the end what will you chose ? Buy JTAG for 200E all parts and program this stupid Qcom inside by your self , pay some tech 40~60E to resurect it to you or just trow this stupid HTC coz its cost only 30E its your choise.
I'm now pissed off coz i mostly use XPERIA and flashed NAas MiniCM kernel and ROM maybe on 30 and more XPERIA's and newer got this HTC like stupid situation. EWEN SONY make a update service coz when your mess it its can repear it.
I cant imagine how stupid they on HTC is to sell people phone who brick and stop work. EWEN SAMSUNG HAS JIG (310K rezistor) who put them in download mode ... and etc. etc. and etc.
Now I"m same like you whit dead Saphire 32B and I don"t thing its cool to pay 60 box to fix phone who cost 30.
Its from 2009 and we now 2012 no one make way till now to fix this without JTAG and like i see it can't be develop coz when phone go tho state where no USB no fastboot no hboot nothing there no way to soft method to fix this :angel:
