Hey guys,
Few of you in the cyanogenmod irc room the other night might have recalled me totally bricking my t-mobile mytouch by pulling the battery after a reboot... dumbest thing I have ever done. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable linux geek, but unfortunately I panicked and did the worst possible thing, pulling my batt and completely bricking my phone.
I was installing the 4.1.999 cyanogen mod. Phone was so toast it wouldn't charge. Status led's wouldn't work, it was 100% toast. Fortunately I was able to have it replaced and would like to try again in a day or so.
Here is a video showing exactly what I did, please excuse the length of the video it goes from start to finish, backing up and flashing everything, up until the point where I pulled the battery. I'd love to know what I did wrong, so I can try again!
View the video here on vimeo -> http://vimeo.com/7022688
Ok, here's what you did wrong:
The first steps are good... You've installed the 1.6 update, then applyed the cyanogen rom... After that I've seen that it was installed a new radio... That might have killed your phone...
At least that appears to be the problem... But why a new radio was installed, no idea... (I don't think you did it on purpose)...
the phone you have there is a magic not a dream.For a start that dosnt help!! Other than that i think yiou have put Dream radio on the device, It not being a dream is the problem as when it detects its the wrong radio the phone goes into a safe mode where it wont turn on to save breaking it.
HTC might fix it under warranty as they did me but it WILL come back with perfect spl on.I have flashed the wrong radio on 2 phones yes 2! now i learn from my mistakes Oh and when/if it gets fixed and you bypass perfect spl, You cant put any ROM Other than donut based ones so no hero takes the fun out of flashing
All bricks I've seen are because you guys install new( in most cases wrong radio- from different phone or MotherBoard version) or changing SPL (exception: people with perfect SPL). I'm asking WHY you do this , WHAT FOR ? Putting different rom /rooting etc does NOT require changing anything and is simple as bread and butter, and you CAN'T damage the phone !! Sorry to see this I'm not 100% sure but it looks like you have flashed with wrong radio. As my predecessor said I think only HTC can fix it... To all people DO NOT TOUCH SPL AND RADIO IF YOU JUST WANT TO PUT HERO ROM OR ROOT THE PHONE (exception ppl with perfect SPL)
i accidently flashed the radio for ION on my 32A last week. got my phone fixed under warranty thank god. but i got the perfected SPL.
if you do get the perfected SPL, you dont really need to change your SPL to flash stuff on your phone.
just replace your recovery using the recovery flasher apk a.k.a the one click root.
reboot to recovery, flash a new ROM that is rooted.
then using the adb shell method, flash a new recovery permanently to your phone.
i have had no issues using that method since i got my perfected SPL.

after applying the 4.1.999 update you pressed the trackball to reboot your suppose to hold the home key while its rebooting on that step till the mytouch screen shows up also you need to wipe the ext. redo the last step then the my3g should be fine in other words reflash the cyanogen
u install wrong recovery
Install instructions for an HTC Magic (32B ONLY!!!)/ION/MyTouch3G
Same as above if you are using CM-Recovery 1.4.
OR
Same as above EXCEPT step 2
Download HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 http://www.androidspin.com/downloads...ooted_base.zip
*You have to manually reboot MT3G and hold home.
he can use the ra recovery image it works because i used it on mine
Turns out I used the wrong recovery image before doing the cyanogen flash.
I followed this guide on my second phone (swapped out my old white one for a black mytouch) and am running 4.1.999 right now - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4666075&postcount=282
My phone shut off and has not been able to turn since. I tried flashing a ROM and didnt relive after that. Please help.
What do you mean it doesn't turn on? What happens when you hold the power button?
it doesn't boot ...it is as if it were dead
Check to make sure it is charged and the battery is installed properly. I have had the battery so dead that it didnt even vibrate to indicate booting.
Yeah. Let it sit on the charger for a few minutes, make sure battery is in right and everything is plugged.
Check for amber LED, let it charge a few minutes, then try again and do it like that every couple minutes. If nothing still, buy a new battery or exchange it.
nothing so far ...ive scheduled an appointment to repair ...i know they wont be able to do anything for this phone. I wanted to see if I can avoid not having to give up my HTC hero and deal with a replacement phone for a while.
ummmm, how did this happen?
you may not want to say for fear of bashing but I promise I won't, as far as I've seen it takes a very unique set of circumstances to actually brick these things
EDIT: my prediction: you tried to flash a GSM rom onto it
so when attempting to get the download file for the Eclair 2.1v1.5 rom it stated that the radio posted is recommended. Prior to flashing the radio i did a nandroid backup and then I flashed the radio. During the flash screen (open box to phone image) it blacked out after about 20 seconds.

So my theory is that this nOOb flashed the GSM radio. Here is what he did.
He seen the post on the Eclair 2.1v1.5 rom on our forums and got click happy. Clicking on the link under that thread for the GSM ROM.
The current build is based on Lox and Behnaam's GSM 2.1 v1.5.

And i suppose you didn't flash a recovery img after rooting? Well next time you will learn to read.
Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a nandroid restore?
i've never heard of a bricked CDMA hero... but i guess flashing a GSM radio would do the trick
ok i searched and this may be the FIRST EVER bricked CDMA htc hero!
correct me if i'm wrong but i couldn't find anything on google about this.
maybe we should sticky this, or delete that link to the gsm rom so this doesn't happen again?
yeah i guess i did flash a gsm rom which definitely pwnd my phone ...i did everything possible. hard reset buttons. basically couldnt do anything with adb as the phone was completely shut off so no way to connect. Well all in all i learned my lesson. The techs at the sprint store couldnt do anything to fix the original phone so they said what the heck and provided me with a brand new google branded hero.
We all have done it!

I'm glad to hear you got your phone replaced. I don't understand how you couldn't boot into any mode that would allow you to fix this. But I don't mess with radios whatsoever.

How does a radio flash stop a phone from turning on?
Isn't the whole point of a recovery mode, to be able to "recover" if something goes wrong.
Shame on you whitewidows, for bashing him... The whole reason people get things working is because of trail and error.
If anything he helped us all by confirming that a wrong radio flash will completely ruin your recovery console, possibly bootloader, and (maybe even some actual hardware).
Hopefully this doesn't discourage users from trying to hack our radio.
Hello,
I'm a noob, through and through. I think that I did everything correctly. I flashed Artemis v8.0 and followed the instructions, then it said that it was completed successfully. When it boots, however, it gets stuck on the "stick together" screen and displays the R G and D information in the bottom-left as it should. Also, when I access the bootloader and re-run the flash, I see no image version information listed. I should mention that the flashing process only took about two minutes. I already did a hard reset.
Did I do something wrong? What do I do?
Update: I tried flashing KUMAR and have the same results; the only dirrerence is that the information listed for D has changed to 1.66.KUMAR... oh my...
...Wow.... I can't believe it. It won't turn it on at all after flashing the original LEO ROM. Looks like I'm toast now...****...
What radio are you running? What model phone is it?
The radio is default. I didn't touch that. I installed HSPL then flashed a couple of ROMs, none of which worked. I think that I may have flashed the wrong version of the official LEO ROM fromthe sticky. So, it looks like I'm screwed. The best way to learn from your mistakes is to lose $500.
you still didnt say what phone, tmous is different from all other hd2's
if its a tmous, then yea, i suspect its gone. (it was possibly recoverable at your first and second posts, cos that was roms that dont support 576meg ram, so flashing a tmous specifric rom would(i think) have fixed it, but what official rom did you flash? anything other than the tmous 2.10 rom will have had a bad radio, and as we all know by now, the wrong radio bricks tmous's
(Edit - sorry, didn't mean to rub it in, just wanted to explain what had happened at each step)
I flashed LEO 1.48 (WWE) from the stickied thread. I can't post the link because I'm new. I don't even know what TMOUS means, so I suspect that's not a good thing. It's the model with 1024 MB ROM is all that I know. If I can find out exactly what, let me know.

Yea, tmous is T Mobile US. They will ONLY accept roms of the 2.10 family. Thats why your first 2 rom flashes failed.
However the damage was done by the radio. Stock roms come with a radio as part of the rom, and the official rom you flashed is oooold. Certainly it has a ..51.. radio.
Any radio with ..51.. in the version will not support the 576meg ram that the tmous has, and as it turns out, they stop the phone even powering on. (or powers on but black screen, the PC sees it as a qualcomm usb device, if it sees it at all.)
I've yet to see anyone offer any kind of fix, though i have seen people say they have had it replaced by tmob.
Unlucky.

So if they don't take it back, would they take note of the fact that my warranty is voided so I couldn't go ahead and pay the $150 for a new one? I really appreciate your help.
if they figure out the warranty its void im sure they'll still fix it, they'll just charge for it.

Alright, they took it back no questions asked. I'm going to actually end up saving $200 because of this - my contract is up in a week! Thanks for your help, samsamuel. Great community here. Now I just hope I'm not stupid enough to try it again!
heh so there is a silver lining after all.
you used HSPL?
if you did that and you go back to store make sure you dont have HSPL more on your phone!!!!!!
I have made the same mistake, i flash the rom energy 1apr , the flash was made succesfuly end phone was started normal and functioned , i close the phone and when i opened him , the phone stock on the wake up screen ( htc on white screen ). what kan I do?, please help me
i had some how same problem before like Sticking in boot screen
1. i tried hard reset hold Volume up+down and press end button till it will start and then it will ask you if you wanna do reset and press volume up for accept after that finish it will ask again to press volume up for boot then it would boot. if does then you need to correct the radio and also ROM which is correct for you
2. another is task29 method
let me know if you could make it...
thanx , i am at work , bath will try later
@costinn : try to flash the proper Radio ROM. It happened to a lot of people because they do not learn about the radio compatibility! Try 2.08.50.08 and you will be fine!
Alright, I have an HTC Magic which essentially acts as my backup phone since I have a Desire. I figured I would try my hand out at flashing a rom on the Magic. Am I missing something, because it seems like a LOT of work. For something that people make out to be so simple, it sure is a pain. Every step I take, I run into issues. At this point I need to:
- Make a Goldcard. (Actually done, I think...?)
- "Fix" my SPL as it's "perfected.
- Update the Radio since the "fix" will apparently mess it up.
- Update the recovery using a customer recovery image.
- Then maybe flash a ROM to it and hope it works.
Am I missing something...or is this WAY more work then people make it out to be. Looking through the forums before starting this... people made it seem like all you had to do was make a Goldcare, copy the rom .zip to it, and use the fastboot method to flash it. I have flashed ROMs on WinMo several times, and it's never been nearly this much run around...even when things mess up. I thought doing this on Android was easier then on WinMo...
So... am I missing something? Is there an easier way that doesn't involve all this run around? Even so, hopefully I have almost everything I need at this point. Is there anything else I am going to run into that is going to cause a need for even MORE work? Any tips here? Thanks.
UPDATE: On trying to flash the SPL "fix" it goes through the installation then tells me that the CID is incorrect. I have tried it 4 or 5 times, using two different cards. It shouldn't be wrong. Any help? Don't understand why it keeps telling me the CID is incorrect. I have noticed though, for some reason, every time I restart the Magic, it gives me a different number when trying to get the CID. Is there a way to bypass this? Have been trying for 4 hours and have gotten no where at all...

Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
Wow, do I know how you feel.... I recently got a Vibrant (galaxy s). So sine I got a new phone I unrooted my MT3g and sent it in on warranty since it was kinda scratched, so I can give it to my wife. Well with my first phone I was able to do the on click root since it came originally loaded with cupcake.... Well as it turns out if it comes pre loaded with donut you can't downgrade any more...lol So I had to do the gold card method.....it sucked.....
I can't even get stuff to work with the Goldcard. It keeps telling me the CID is incorrect... which it may be, since it gives me a new number every time I restart the damned thing. It can't be this hard to root all Android devices I hope... this is just ridiculous.

No, its not.... A good example is to root the vibrant you just flash a update.zip file...lol. But the sapphire/magic/mytouch is a great phone with allot of development support. But from what I understand one of the hardest roots..
Well that sucks. Kinda wanted to see how Froyo would run on it, and wanted to get a feel of how it was done before attempting it on the Desire. How did you manage to get the thing flashed?

the CID error tells me your gold card creation failed.
Check the process description at theunlockr.com. that worked for me.
My first mistake was formatting FAT and NOT FAT32. It must be formatted FAT32.
I used a 2GB PNY and it works great.
yes, our phone (the sapphire, magic, MT3G, whatever the carrier calls it) is one of the craziest to root. I have the 1.2 version that came out after the fender, so by default i need to do the goldcard method. I made the goldcard, but then my daughter dropped my phone, and i had to get it replaced, someone is currently borrowing my card reader, so i have to wait to root the new one.
one step from reading the forums that alot of people miss, is replacing the first two digits of the "gold card id" to 00.. you have to do this, or the thing wont work. at least if you're having issues on the gold card step you're not close enough to the steps that can BRICK your phone...
all i can say is make sure you follow the directions STEP BY STEP, i've seen a number of people who flash the wrong image first and it totally bricks the phone. in my case that would suck, as being on the non-contract plan, i get no discount for new phones.
hope that helps a little.
Yes, the zeros are critical but as I recall theunlockr link above (paste and cut) takes care of that for you. The gold card is the hard part to get right.. The rest is very straightforward.
Thanks for the input guys. Going to try a few more things.
Alright. Following the instructions. Step by step, I am still getting "CID Incorrect! Update Fail!"
This is very frustrating as there isn't any reason it shouldn't be working...

Not to thread jack, you know you can use any GoldCard with any phone, as long as it was made properly.

Let us know if it worked.
sorry i was vague, i was in a rush to get to work this morning and on top of it i was panicking. i flashed the stock image:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
i tried that on a hd2 so i could flash hspl3 again and use wp7 on my hd2.
i ended up just sending it in, but if they send it back with no repairs ill try your method... i relly hope they just send me a new one though. i mean... i flashed a stock image to the hd2, so shouldnt they see no hspl and just the stock spl?
again, more details are needed.
like what type of hd2 do you have? if it is a us tmo brand, i believe it is bricked (as you flashed a .51 radio.)
if you flashed your stock rom from your sd card, hspl is removed. if you flashed over usb, and did not uninstall hspl, hspl is still there.
what i don't get is if you can flash a rom, why are you saying it is bricked? no offense, but each post seems to change the story (first it was a rom, the a radio, now you are flashing roms but sending the phone in, still don't know if you can get into booloader, but now you sent the phone in or is it in your possession???) and i am not following what you did, where you started or what is going on. maybe i am totally missing what you are saying (which is possible)...hope someone can help you.
i have the 1024 us tmous hd2. i tried to flash to a stock rom, forget i said radio. i tried to flash the .51 which i did not know would brick my phone, so i played dumb with htc and sent it in to get repaired. if they dont repair it i am kinda SOL because i flashed using usb and they will see it has HSPL. sorry, do i need to include anything else? i am just kinda a noob... sorry.
i swear i posted a response. hmm.
thank you for the details. your assessment of the situation is spot on; unfortunately your phone is indeed bricked. and likely htc will not know about hspl...or so i have heard from others.
curious, why did you send it to htc? did tmobile reject it? if not, and htc doesn't give you a new one, try getting it to tmobile (under warranty)- worked for me when the phone stopped working for unknown reason. good luck.
possible to make it back to work...?

I have tmo version, Couple months ago i was trying to flash a office rom, which is i don't remember which one, but i really sure it was a HTC Office Rom., I let the phone do it thing while flashing, but after the flashing the screen go off and didn't back on working anymore, I still have the bricked phone though, and i was wondering if any possible method apply to the above problem?
