Telus HTC P4000 No Radio FIX

Ok Here is how to fix the problem with a p4000 on telus when it dies and goes no radio on the htc load screen. I know the phone looks like a brick at this point but all you have todo is:
1. Kick the phone into bootloader mode. (Hold ok + Power + Camera and do a soft reset)
2. download the new wm6 Firmware (http://www.htcamerica.net/support/p4000/software-downloads.html)
3. now with the phone in bootloader mode connect the usb cable and run the firmware upgrade. (the upgrade will not see the curent software version on the phone, just click upgrade anyway)
Hope this helps

Htc p400 no radion ( in red)
I have tried what you said and it did not work
I am able to flash a new room which completely load with the usb cable
and after the same message happen again which is no radio
I also tried to install a new radio that i took from this website and the phone stays on focus form a long time with the screen beeing gray or white and It stays on Loading ... For a long time and then close but do not power back on i have to remove the batteries
so could anyone help me plz
the only thing i see in bootloader mode is
TITA100
SPl:-2.07.0000
cpld-9
its the htc p4000 with telus

First did you flash the stock telus rom.
Next did you name the radio file separately on the sd. It should be TITAIMG.nbh. The sd method will work.

No radio Fix
Where do i find the telus stock rom
i took the rom from the htc.com/ca website and am not sure if its what you are referring too

I have the exact same setup with the 2.07.0000 bootloader as well as "no radio" power cycle. I have been reasearching for two days now and I think I might know what the problem is, however I need some help fixing it.
The bootloader, radio and rom all have to work together. If the rom gets updated and you still have an older radio or bootloader then power cycling can occur.
Could someone please help us? I have tried flashing several radios, bootloaders and roms via sd to fix this problem but nothing is working and most the time the phone just hangs in the "loading..." screen.
Many thanks in advance!

My HTC Magic is bricked

I've got a "Brick" HTC Magic - Vodafone.
Basically, when i press the power button doesn't start. It happened after follow the "Install / Update SPL" ( http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL ) guide.
Is there any way to recover it? or should i put it on the bin?

You're going to have to be more specific than "it doesn't start".
Does it turn on? If so, does it hang at the htc magic screen? Can you hold vol-down and press power (while still holding vol-down) and load a screen with three androids on skateboards? If you can do the last step, it's not bricked, and you should look at the thread I have below about bricking and semi bricking, one of the users on there gave a great amount of information on what you can do if your phone's not working right (bricked).

Hi Caid, thanks for the reply! sorry for the short message without details.
Here is the answer for your first question (sadly, the rest of questions can be skipped):
Does it turn on?
It doesn't
It was after follow the guide i mentioned before. I tried to update the SPL, but something went wrong and my phone didn't turn on again.
So... I think I have to accept the fact is not going to work again.
Is there any kind of service able to fix this?
Anibal

No display at all? no backlight on the screen? no vibration (signifying it's past a certain point in the loading stage)?
You probably tried taking out the battery for 10 seconds and then putting it back?
As Caid444 asked, tried holding Back+Power for a few seconds (after making sure power is off and not just hanging. Take off battery for 10 sec and reload)? Tried holding Home+Power after making sure power is off?

I'd really like to say it DOES something... but it doesn't . I tried Volume down + power, back + power and several more combination always taking out the battery and putting it back.
It's bad... Do u know if there's any hardware service for this?

Just a wild guess, but since the phone sucks more battery, then a vampyre on rampage.
Could it be an idea, to charge the battery before, or have the usb cable pluged in, when you press back+home? (the same buttons you used to enter fastboot)

I'm pretty sure what you're trying to say is, you know enough about the phone to know how to bring it into it's multiple boot options, and none of them make the phone even burp. So there's no need to tell you to press this button plus that button, or insert usb or remove usb, or battery or such, because you've already done all that.
Well, I'd have to agree with you that it's dead. Unfortunately, there's nothing to do at the moment. I'm guessing (or maybe just hoping) that in the future there will be an unbricker for our phone, much like those available for many htc branded winmo phones. In the meantime, how old is your phone? Can you still bring it back?
Caid.

p.s To anyone else who's trying to figure this out, let's assume that he's already tried the many variations of recovery procedures and that it's still not working.

If it's really a brick and we all want to learn something from this then we need to know the following :
1. What was your original SPL
2. To which SPL did you "try" to upgrade? (I hope you didn't try to flash a G1 SPL on your Magic...).

That's how my brick arrived ! Tried Hard SPL, after installing the one you suggested. Yours okay, Hard SPL no. But even after installing the spl, no fastboot adb.

BRICKED by HARD SPL ( the recommended )
Same here, I have just bricked my new vodafone HTC Magic (Vaffanc...)
downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list?q=label:SPL
I hope something can be done. It is not reacting to power button at all.

I think you are right, I have flashed the G1 SPL. But the page is really not clear, it start speaking as Dream/Magic and probably it is only for Dream. Since it says to apply the Hard Spl and in the download link(http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL) there is no clue that it is not for the G2.
Any idea? anybody got it changed from the shop with no problems? (mine is vodafone in the netherlands)
Me idiot, I have to leave tomorrow for holidays!

as far as i can see no need to flash spl on vodafone magic. i have the same phone and all i did was root with Rav1.1.1G.img and flashed rom of my choice. you have flashed phone with g1 spl and it actually says g1 on the link you provided..........can't see how you missed it. with phone off press home+power button as that bring up recovery image. Rav image file is safer due to that. i am sure if hardspl was available for Magic it would be posted on here as a sticky

You did brick one with the hardSPL and now you bricked another with the same stuff? Didn't you learn the first time? Only way is to go back to the store and tell em you did it again.

It seems to me you need to go back to basics and start here

A noob question but what exactly does flashing a new SPL unlock.
I got my Vodafone UK HTC magic and simply Downloaded a 32B ROM and used nandroid backup to apply the update.zip and it installed fine and can use Root required apps.

hi all
My HTC magic was bricked after update SPL. Now when press power button, it stuck at HTC magic logo, anyone have solution for fix its?

I Can not understand how can this be possible. Why guys all of you, don't read before trying to change your SPL???? You even don't need any changes about it?! Why do you try to change the SPL? Do you know what that SPL does? I think most of you - don't.
My next question is why all of you are trying to flash the G1 SPL onto Magic phone? Are you crazy or what? There is NO HARDSPL for Magic (G2, Sapphire or whatever you want to call this device)!
The SPL collection is posted in this forum by Amon_Ra, and if someone want to change the SPL can do this by downloading some of the SPL collections posted here.

Power off your phone! Then press and HOLD the "back button", while holding it press once the red one(which you usually use to power on the phone). It will power on (i hope). If you get in fastboot mode then everything will be fine.

Updating Radio on Hero now it won't turn on!!!

I was going to install the new MoNaCo Rom but I did the radio update first after I install the update my phone looked like it was going to reset, it turned off and never came back on. My battery was fully charged and I just can't seem to get it back on. I pressed the power/home buttons and that doesn't turn it on either HELP!!! Is there anyway I could do a hard reset or anything I can do to get it to at least power up?

Did you make wipe before update to the new radio?

I suppose you have a GSM HERO and flashed it with a GSM Radio, right? If not (CDMA phone/GSM Radio or vice-versa) and it doesent boot up after taking out/reinserting the battery multiple times then it's bricked for good at this stage IMHO. JTAG should help, provided someone had documented the procedure for the GSM HTC HERO. Btw, it's MoDaCo, not MoNaCo

There's no requirement to wipe before flashing a new radio, as the "wipe" doesn't effect the radio part of the ROM.
Regards,
Dave

I was doing the radio first then I was going to do the wipe.

You diddnt answer about which hero you have, cdma or gsm? and which radio did you use.

you probably pulled the battery out during the procedure. when flashing, you do a reboot after the recovery tells you to and you leave it for around 20 minutes and it will boot up completely. you should never interupt it during this 20 minutes

hi
i'm new here, and i have almost the same problem exposed 2 years ago here. i have updated the firmware of my hero gsm and all was good, but one i updated tne radio rom, the hero doesen't want to work, it boots but stops on the first screen. i pressed lots of time on home/back and power, it boots normally but stop at the first screen, as if the back button doesn't work, but two days ago, alla the buttons were working.
i hope you will show me a solution other than gtag for the moment.
thanks

should i do this post in an other subjet?

if you flash the wrong radio,it must broken ,can you enter fastboot? if you can't enter,you have to use jtag to fix it

I can JTAG the HERO and I'm in Texas if anyone needs help with these.

HI
Thank you for the answer, zhaominghao,
no, the fast boot is inaccessible. And concerning the Jtag, i gave the phone to some one to reapre it with it, but he told me that there is problems of connectors. is this true or there is annother reason? i dont really know, i hope i was able to try the jtag my self, but i dont have the device jtag. i hope i wil found a solution.
thank you again.

If you can't get into recovery to attempt a reflash then JTAG is the only option and if the shop said it can't be done... time for a new hero

If the phone has damaged JTAG points then it's a loss. If they are intact then it's fixable with JTAG.

i downgrade my radio but when i downgrade it the screen went off n the battery want even charge do anybody no what i did wrong

sounds like a radio that is incompatible with your rom out ur fone into bootloader connect thru usb and flash a new radio

i probably did but is it anyway u think how i can turn it bak on. it want charge. the usb card works i tried charge something else with it n it work

sounds like tmous phone meets radio version x.xx.51.x (or 2.04.50.x or 2.05.50.x radio) and if it is that then its dead, broke, gone.

i do have insurance on this phone. u think i can take it bak n get a new one.

lots of people have.

ok. thank you

Can you get into bootloader mode (press and hold the volume-down button and press the power button)?

I tried to do that but the battery is dead n gone. so im just gone buy a new battery today. if that doesnt work. the phone is dead n gone.

put a diff radio and see what happens...if u cant do it, try to take it to a repair shop and see what happens

don't waste your money on a battery. flashing a ..51.. radio kills tmous phones. they stop turning on, no bootloader, no charging, nothing. totally unresponsive.

[Q] HELP!!! Rom Manager bricked my device!!

here's the story,
i installed rom manager from the market. flashed the clockwork recovery using it, then tried to flash a new rom using rom manager. i am sure that the rom is compatible with my settings. now my phone is in the boot loop and i can't get into recovery nor the bootloader. any help?
32a s-off
radio 6.35
2007 spl
i can only remember the basics of my device since i can't get into the bootloader...
THANKSSS

Did you pull the battery and then try booting into recovery/bootloader? If you get thrown into the bootloop when you put the battery back in, try holding back/home while putting the battery in.

Thanks for helping me! I actually did try that method but I was back to boot loop again. I really hate that "Rogers" screen.
Does that mean I'm bricked for good?

as it turns out, HTC makes magical device as it cured itself from the brick!!
i basically gave up and just left it running till the battery goes out, the next day, it is booted into the rom.
truly magical!!!!

True happened to me once when I tried to load my first rom. Just let it sit there while I'm searching the forums trying to look for some answers then voila it booted up properly

too bad i semi bricked it AGAIN!!! i really am bad at this...
flashed rogers official rom over cm. should have done some research first. still trying to fix it. but its not bad, learn a lot everything time i do something wrong.

Did you wipe prior to flashing a new rom?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

I've done the same mistake and my device hanged at rogers rom with radion 3.22 and SPL 1.76 S-ON. I've briked mine very bad that time, but yours might yet be recoverable. If you have s-off, the i think you're saved. Post your hboot info here...

Hi... I have similar problem... but my phone can't power on... in have samsung galaxy gio (GT-S5660M) after using rom manager... the phone reboot and can't start... nothings appear in the screen... I have only black screen... nothings appears
I try to remove the battery and put again... but nothing... I try to remove the sd card too and restart again... nothing... the cellphone not power on... I dont see any screen of logo, boot... nothing...
