Hello, everyone...
I had my Wing sitting on my desk for months - I went to go pick it up and it didnt work. When I plugged it in, the orange light blinked and went off... each time I plugged it in, that is what it would do.
Nothing I would do would get it to turn on - plugging it into computer, trying to do a hard reset, nothing.
So I figured I bricked my phone. Since I can get to the bootloader, I installed a new ROM - 4.26.(something) and nothing changed. I tried another ROM, 4.10.0002 and that didnt work either. It did successfully downgrade (per the bootloader), but it wount start up.
Each time I went to upgrade the phone, my computer wouldnt detect which version of ROM I had on it.. but it still went forward with the upgrade - and my phone responded great... but when powering on, wouldnt get past the TMOBILE start up. It just would turn itself off.
I dont have a memory card in it... and when I go to hard reset, it takes about a half a second, says complete.. and that is that (which leads me to believe it isnt working.. or there is nothing to delete!
Any thoughts on what I should do?

Okay folks as it says in the middle of upgrading the rom my PC resets (power outtage) and it was 51% complete now I have the dreaded rainbow screen and I can't sync with the PC any longer, have I destroyed the phone and locked it forever I have done a hard/soft reset and still the rainbow screen! Any help would be appreciated.
Can no one help me??
Hey this stuff happened to me, dont be scared. its really simple this is what i did, i just turned off the phone then put it in tbe boot load mode i.e hold the camera button down for like 3 seconds after the 3 second plug in your oc cable. it should turn on. then start the upgrade program again. It will do the upgrade all over again.
dont let the comp reboot again.
tip make sure all programs and stuff are not running. just keep the computer at minimal(activies) all should go well.
Ive doing the touch it 2.3 mod, and its says it takes 6 -15 mins, mine has been on the copy file part for like 35 mins, and im afraid to touch it, can anyone help is it finished or not? please help ive got to go to work soon but im afraid to touch my phone lol.
Ok actually I jus unplugged it and it bricked, and ive done it now two times but it never gets passed copying the files or whatever, is there something that I am doing wrong, should i get like an app unlocking file or something before i try this, but I figure that since it is hard reset it wouldnt matter, anyways does anyone have any tips that can help Im really really getting frustrated.
Did you follow all the directions to the tee?
1. Copy Aserg's Policies.
2. Run Aserg's Policies.
3. POWER CYCLE the phone. (Press and hold the power button, NOT the softreset button.)
4. Place the phone into flight mode (or just kill the phone radio within your comm manager if you're using the stock comm manager.) Do this AFTER you have power cycled the mode. NOT before.
5. Run the flashing file.
Wait, don't press ANYTHING on the phone, even that error that WILL pop up.
When it tells you it's done, if it doesn't give you any errors, THEN hard reset by holding the two soft keys and pressing the softreset key, then pressing the send key. This are the directions. Follow them to a tee and it WILL work if you're using a ROM that corresponds to your device.
ive done everything to a tee, and still the same problem, i give
mine was doing the same thing, but eventually it worked... i bricked it a few times but then decided to leave it alone went to work came back and all was well
yea i think the same thing happened to me i decided to do it last night and when I woke up it was done but then i flubbed the hard reset, so i ont know if it truly worked its nice to know that someone else had the same problem, did u do it from the tylers kit, because in the kit he as to install aserg, cerp, and enablerapi all before installing touch.
You have to make sure that its in flight mode. If the phone is receiving or transmitting anything while the flash is in progress, its not going to finish and you'll be waiting there like a dummy. I have a fairly fast computer and it still took about 30 minutes. The only problem I can think of that is causing your flash to not finish is that its not in flight mode. There will be an error during this flash, just leave it be and let it finish. Once ready, perform a hard reset and the device will reset to your new rom. So if you ever decide in the future to do another hard reset, it will only reset to the new rom.
Finally success, it was wat IIDOM said, basically i just left on for about 3 hours woke up it was done, only quirks right now is that I cant setup my email accounts Im about to search now and see what i find, and i can access my wifi connections from comm manager, anyone know the work arounds for those two things atm>? Also really appreciate everyone's help
I would be considering any suggestions as to what to do now....first I unlocked the phone after getting the WM6.1 update. Everything was fine except for the sound over the USB, which I could live without. Then decided to unlocked the phone and that point the phone was stuck at the bootloader. Ok I figured that it might be missing the OS but first I decided to install the "dcd_titan_2.1.0_vzw_softwareupdate" and after this all I kept getting was the Verizon white screen with the "no radio" message in red letters. After that I decided to do the "titan_radio_3.27.00" update to see if that would fix the radio problem. After that install the phone shut down and all I get is the red LED when I plug the phone to the PC. The bootloader wont come up with a HARD or SOFT reset. I did notice that after that radio install on the phone the pc did see the modem portion of the phone and installed the drivers on its own. I been reading and readin forums but none say what to do with a bricked phone so here is the million dollar question. WHAT IS NEXT???
Try holding Power and Camera and pressing the soft-reset button. If you can at least get to the bootloader you probably aren't bricked. If you can't get to the BL (3 color screen), then you are beyond my help.

Tried that already...guess going to have to try to return this phone to see if I can get a replacement...just play dumb I guess...
Hi guys, recieved my phone back from T-Mobile all repaired and working again
I ran the Advanced Hack kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821&highlight=ace+hack+kit, followed the instructions, it all went well, said it completed. Phone hung on T-Mobile flash screen for 15 mins. Pulled battery, powered up, hanging for another 15 mins.
Powered up into Hboot, still S-On.
I can access Clockwork recovery OK also.
Phone still hanging, so selected restore factory settings. Hangs at flash screen.
I restored my Back-up of RCMix3D (probably a bad idea, but ran out of things to try). Rebooted, hangs at T-Mobile screen again.
I'm pulling my hair out now, what can I try??
I wanted to try the Hack tool again, but it won't connect without the phone booted. Also, I tried running an RUU, again it won't run without the phone booted.
I just copied the stock T-Mobile PD98IMG to the SD card, updated, went smoothly, now won't boot at all
bumping to the top

Well,
if you talk to attn1 again, please tell him to contact me.. I'm stuck with my dhd aswell.
My problem is:
Few months ago i rooted my unbranded DHD, installed CyanogenMod 7.1, it worked perfectly fine for a couple of months, but a few days ago, my phone was on but did not respond anymore. I tried to reboot it, but it got stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo (sometimes it bootloops, other times it freezes)
I rebooted the phone with the volume down key pressed, so it would give me that menu,
scrolled down to "Recovery", i get the recovery menu from ClockworkMod, but then my volume key does not work ! i can not do whipe or anything else, the phone freezes.
I mounted the SD card in my PC, cleared it, put a rom in root of SD card and call the rom "PD98IMG.zip" and put the SD card back in my phone. I start the phone with the volume key down pressed, i get that
white screen with the menu and it then finds the .zip file.
It then reads the image, parses the image and then tries to load "NV.img" on which my phone freezes again.
I tried CyanogenMod and LeeDroid, and a stock rom. They all do the same thing, as written above.
When i connect my phone to my PC, my pc tries to install the driver, but gives me an error, saying the device is not known. I have installed both HTC Sync and the SDK. Tried it when i had only HTC Sync
installed, did not work either.
I also tried a RUU (.exe file) but this program tells me there is no device connected...
My phone is over a year old, so i have no warenty anymore, that's why i rooted it.
here is the problem, hope someone can help, cuz im driving myself crazy trying to fix this....
so, i flashed a custom rom (m.o.a.r.) and everything seemed to be going fine. the installation went off without a hitch, insisted i was in the clear and that the rom took. soon as it was done and auto rebooted my device tho, everything went sour.
it remained frozen on the samsung screen for approximately 2 hours then just shut off.... battery life was good so it didnt just die. (oh, might i mention i have had numerous roms on this device so its not my first time) i tried to turn it on but it remained stuck. so i pulled the battery and booted it into recovery (twrpv2.8.1.0) where i wasnt able to do anything. my sd card refused to mount and 3/4 of my internals were bare.
so i decided id try to throw it in download mode and use odin... at this point it warned me that i had no o.s. installed...... my phone goes into download mode but no matter what i do i can not get it to connect to me pc...
what do i do? is there anything i can do?
please help...
