[REQ]Rogers HTC Bricked - Please Help (Advanced User)

Hello Everybody,
Let me start off by saying that this is the worst phone I've ever used. I had great expectations from this phone but never mind - I'm going to stick to my Excalibur.
This is the first time in my life that i actually bricked a phone. I installed a couple of cooked ROMs and everything went fine. I have experience with CID Unlocking and flashing ROMs. Anyways, all I did was try to flash back to the original Rogers ROM from the Original Shipped ROMS thread and that's when my phone got bricked.
I have searched and done everything possible so far and NOTHING WORKS!
So far I've done this:
1) I have tried flashing the Chinese ROM/Dopod WWE Asia ROM as their official HTC ROM's.
2) Done a hard reset
3) Loads into Boot Loader and the boot loader version is
IPL - 2.21.0002
SPL - 2.21.0000
4) Ran MTTY and i got gsecuritylevel=FF (which means install shipped ROM)
5) Tried running USPL but no luck
6) Tried installing Rogers ROM from the original shipped ROMS thread, still no luck as it gets to 3% and reboots
I seriously don't know what else to do. This is just ANNOYING!! Ive been sitting here for the past 4-5 hours trying to get this damn thing to work.
Is there a way to downgrade the SPL so I could flash a ROM?
Is there a free permanent CID Unock available?
Is there ANY WAY out there to unbrick a Rogers HTC TOUCH
(DAMN ROGERS !!!)
Finally, I'm trying the SD Card ROM Update method and hoping it works.
Mods, if you see this and know of a way to help me out, please do or anyone else who knows what to do so my life is back to normal, please help. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ok, I tried the SD Card method, it says Checking SD Card Contents and nothing happened, all i see is a tri color screen. The SD Card is 2 GB, is the only file present on the card and it was renamed accordingly (the .nbh file).
Please help as I'm going nuts trying to fix this.
Best Regards,
lukybandit

Anyone at all?
I've done all the searching I could and everything I've tried so far has failed on me.
I can get into the bootloader, get into the hard reset and even can run a mtty session and no matter what I do, it gets stuck at the HTC logo.
In addition to this, all ROM's that I have tried so far keep getting the Error 270 (Obviously due to not being able to even temporarily CID unlocking it).
I did notice a lot of people have bricked their devices and I figure if i can get into the boot loader screen then at least SOMETHING can be done.

Here is what i have learned.
I have the Rogers Touch, and i said SCREW IT, and going to pick up an AT&T Tilt.. I already have 2 S621's, 1 Tytn 2, and i need another phone for my dad.
I had the touch for 1 week and had the same problem as you. Here is what i gather.
1. YOU CANNOT - install the original ROM if you flashed the incorrect ROM
2. Because there is no HARD SPL, i used the USPL, which on reset will result in a CID relock.
3. In this condition, the only way to reflash if you can't get back into the regular today screen is a custom SPL, by Olipro or something.
But Olipro (i keep forgetting his name), charges 75 GBP which equates to $160CDN or so. I bought my HTC Touch used for $200CDN. Makes no sense to fix it. So i am going to try and sell this phone to someone who wants to fix it for cheap.
Sorry man, i looked EVERYWHERE for a fix, and there was NONE to be found, unless you use this guy , who has succesfully fixed everyone elses phone.
Honestly, if my phone was worth alot more than $200, i would pay him with no issue, but because the fix is the same as buying the same phone again, it makes no sense.

Are you serious?!!!
So there's no way for me to fix this piece of ****? frig man.
I paid for this and now I can't fix it?
Can Rogers find out that I tried playing around with the phone or not? I hope not because It's been only 3 days since I got this and it's been barely used.
If there's a fix, please let me know.
That's not even worth it. If there's someone out there that can fix it, please help - Thanks
P.S: Thanks for your response.

Did you to a reformat/Hard Reset on phone first and then tried to reflash?
Worked for me once when i ****ed up badly.
Reset Button and hold down Both call Buttons.
And maybe i should not ask this but you have removed both SD and SIM card?
I'm uploading a 2.26 Rom at the moment.
Doesn't Canada have Vogue devices like the US? (this is a real question i don't know)
Attached is a 2.26 SPL only.
How far does it get in the Flashing screen (45%)?
And here's Full T-Mobile NL Rom with 2.26 http://rapidshare.com/files/122419910/RUU_signed.nbh.html

Yes, I think I did do a hard reset but I will try again in 5 mins. It was a bad flash cause it stopped in the middle I think.
Yup Both SD Card & SIM Card Removed.
Im guessing the only way I could fix this would be - get the original shipped ROM but so far I was only able to find a dump and not an actual update installer.
My SPL & USPL is 2.21 - So what do you recommend. upgrading the SPL and then trying to re-flash..
Would the TMobile ROM work because my phones Rogers branded and no Canada does not have the Vogue.
In answer to your question, it doesn`t go more than 2-3 % and then gives me an Update Error (270)
ahhh...this is driving me insane.
Thanks so much for the help so far. Really hope you guys can help me out here.

The main thing is if it flashes SPL only in general or if it does the same thing.
You might even try just flashing the SPL 1.11.11 from Pof from bootloader.
Or just flash the original SPL.
If it doesn't I don't know a way of unlocking in Bootloader.
But more heads will pop up with some Flashing Nightmares experiences soon.

I just performed a hard reset and tried reflashing but still no luck. It gets to 3% then reboots.
In regards to what you attached, how do I go about doing it? Let me know. I downloaded the 2.26 SPL and the NL ROM.

Original SPL being Rogers (Can't find it anywhere except a dump)?
k I'll try flashing the SPL 1.11
- Any other thoughts, bro? Thanks!

Did u tried SD card flashing??

Yeah, I did.
I tried the .nbh from the Rogers Dump and it says Invalid Certificate. I tried this other .nbh which said Dead_Elfin, still no luck and the Dopod Asia
I'm so mad/upset and I've tried so many methods to fix it. Is there no way I can get the Rogers dump to work in any way?

Hey man!
Somewhere in this thread (2nd page) a guy refers to a ROM that revives your half-dead Touch, "if you trust him"!
But you don't have anything to lose at this point,
so check it out! The link to the ROM is still alive.
Good Luck!
Regards!

Erro 270, wasn't that image corrupt error.
Damn Olipro can't you help a Mod out yous.
Threaten to ban his ass.
When you say Dumped Roger's rom, you prolly mean dumped Roger's rom, then repacked with HTCRT right?
And not the official full Exe installer.

i think its time we make it clear to everybody that XDA means SHARING to help everyone out and not to ask for money in return for something. XDA should only be for those ppl who can work hard for everyone without asking for money.

This phone was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I'm sick and tired of this already and I still haven't been able to get it fixed.

LukyBandit
I tried everything that these guys told you to do, NOTHING WORKS.
We have an operator branded device and do not have an ORIGINAL ROM to load in other than a DUMP.
Thats why we are stuck.
I am looking for someone local GTA that might charge less, but yes your TOUCH is fukked unless you are willing to pay OLIPRO $160CDN to fix a phone thats worth $200ish.
I am buying a TILT today, its not worth the stupid touch to fix.
What a waste of money that was. I am so happy my TYTN2 and my soon to purchase TILT has a HARD SPL to it.

What should I do? (new comer)

Hey I'm new to the whole Customizing my phone. I'm getting a wing very very soon & I would like to know what exactly is the first thing i do to start flashing and customizing. I know their are guides but there is a lot of info and its kind of confusing, I just don't wanna brick my phone the first day I get it. So anyone please help if you can.

First thing is to read about hard spl and hard spl your wing. this would allow you to flash different roms. Just read the instructions before flashing.

Read, read, and read some more.
Don't do something that is "pretty close" to what the step says, only if it matches exactly. (Otherwise you may end up with a shiny new doorstop, not a great new phone.)

Yeah, you will probably want to Hard spl your phone. This makes it easier to flash to whatever rom you wish. Yes, once you hard spl, then you can flash new roms. ...BUT, read read read. Before I hard spl'd, I read about it for a week or so to make sure I understood the entire process. It's pretty simple though. Just make sure your IPL number is greater than 4. If not, you will brick your device for sure. Read this...Papamopps wrote it.
Default HARD-SPL - working!
I case of people who don´t read 200 post and still brick their device - here is the guide that worked for ALL people with:
HTC P4350
XDA Terra
WING
with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT) (you can check by putting your wing in bootloader. Hold the camera button down and soft reset (use the stylus and push the little button on the left side. Keep holding the camera button until you get a screen with 3 colors. (red, green, blue). There it will show you ipl number.
and then follow this:
Default
For me it was working when:
1. install canonyang.cab
2. install aserpolicy.cab
3- install disablesecurity.cab
4. SOFTRESET
5. run RUU from Hard-SPLWM6 folder verison 4.70.yang
6. screen will become white - WAIT until it reboots itselfe.
7. done!
check if SPL now is 4.70.yang
Fore sure: I used this

It worked for many others, too.

Yeah, you will prob want to overclock. Just use batterystatus to do it. Most people stay around 247 or so, but I run 286 and have never had any issues with it.

Does anyone know how to unbrick the CDMA Hero?

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.

So yea he didn't read, just clicked, have fun with that.
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!

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.

[Q] bricked my hd2 but my computer recognizes it...?

so i flashed my phone with the wrong radio i believe but the strange thing is that my computer recognizes it. the doesnt turn on at all but i here the sound of a device being plugged in when i plug it into winodws. is there a chance its not bricked?

the sound doesn't necessarily indicate much.
what did you do? specifics, please?
can you get into bootloader?

i was trying to flash a stock rom and i guess it didnt work?

You may try and follow this solution, I suggested earlier. Click here
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...?

Verify how to go back to stock

Hello everyone,
Ok so it's time for warranty repair. My phone's memory is pooched. I have permrooted, SuperCID, Radio Unlocked and Eng S-OFF. I'm with Telus mobility.
I have searched as much as I can and as far as I can tell I need to:
- Flash back to 1.32 rootable rom (from http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-telus-htc-desire-hd/)
- Gain perm root from there (same link as above)
- Use the same tools that I used to get Eng S-OFF to put everything back to normal (from http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-gain-radio-engineering-s-off-on-telus-htc-desire-hd/)
- Get the stock ROM from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
- Flash the Stock ROM
At that point everything should be back to normal?
I just want to confirm and if so then hopefully this thread can serve as a one-stop for people needing to do the same since I can't find any other thread that contains all this info.
(yes AddictiveTips I still find the be the clearest and easiest to follow guide)

i´m sorry to hear you´re having problems with your dhd but i do agree that a good thread like this if done right should almost be a sticky for people in your position, not that i´d wish it on anyone. good luck with your repairs

Yes the steps you listed are correct. It should take you no more than 2 hours start to finish.

It would take less than that except it took several hours to get permroot again because the phone keeps locking up or not booting properly.

Sometimes that happens, a factory reset will usually fix most issues.
Remember to switch on USB Debugging before you try to remove ENG S-OFF.
