Serious Problem!! Phone Completely Bricked!! Please Help!!

I think I may be completely screwed but hopefully someone here can help me.
I tried running the shelltool program to flash to faria's wm6 rom and now my phone is completley bricked. It is stuck on the first screen when you power the device on, the screen that says T-Mobile and tells you what rom and radio version are installed on the phone.
I have tried running the RUU provided by T-Mobile and that didnt work and I have also tried re-flashing the rom using the shelltool program using the original rom. Nothing is working and I am desperate for help.
If anyone has any ideas, please help me as this is my only cell phone and I do not have the money to replace it.
Please, please help if you can.

reflash with the "wizard love rom" and its done you will recover your g4

Where do I find this rom and how should I flash it?

Read the wiki. You are not bricked. You need to get into bootloader mode.
People don't willingly help you if your not willing to help yourself, especially if you didn't read before flashing in the first place.

Need help to unbrick.

Hi im sorry i had to post this as its probably been asked over and over but ive searched forum and cant seem to find a working solution for me.
I updated my HTC Touch ELF with Onyx ROM after updating SPL etc and everything went fine but couldnt get a signal etc on phone so decided to go back to old rom that i made a backup of untill i had done more research and found the ROM i wanted.
Reflashed the backup rom build i made everything looked good untill i went to boot and it just powered off after the orange brand logo.
I cant do the goldcard method as i have no other phone that can take the card i do however have a adapter for my pc for the card.
Ive treid the ubrick thread but cant get mtty.exe to use usb port.
Can somebody help me out to get this up and going again, Sorry for posting this i know its probably been asked many times but cant seem to get it going and am a n00b on this subject really.
thnx.
[EDIT]
Just managed to get that unbricking rom installed and booted so am gunna try and flash my original dump again.
[EDIE2]
Seems it some problem with my original backup as just doesnt boot after brand logo, When building with HTC Rom tool other files are green but OS file stays black does that mean the OS file is bad?

the adapter for ur card wont work, u need a WM device to make the goldcard method.

Cant seem to get my original dump back on though
I originally just wanted to update to windows 6.1 but there isnt a official update can you recommend the best/most stable unofficial one to use?

take a look at onyx, tess, touch hd or aether. and if u feel brave, u can try letama which is WM 6.5 beta

tried the onyx and another but cant find network just keeps "searching..."

what radio do u have? try with 3.34 or 3.39

Thnx, Just noticed the updates and are going to update and retry.
thnx for help, appreciate it

Do they have them updates for the ELF, can only find those versions for ELFIN.
[EDIT] nm Noticed they are for either
Still having trouble with signal always searching, Installed latest radio version aswell.
[EDIT] whoops what a dumbass, I missed the pin entry at beginning which sometimes pops up but then boots into today screen if not enetered in time, finds signal straight away now

Pls, Help!!

I need help. I wanna flash my ROM, but in the half it stop and get my phone "offline". After restart(i try hardreset too) it freeze on "BIOS" boot screen. Can I do something with this problem at home? Or i have to go to the service???
P.S.: Sorry 4 my bad Eng

Hello!
Try to flash back to original WM5 ROM, from bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471490

Re:
There's a little bigger problem. I couldn't do this, because i couldn't establish connect with activesyns. my phone couldn't get started. He only freeze on boot screen when U can C
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.06.0000
GSM 02.19.21
OS 6.1.0.0
Nothing more!!!!!!!!!!!
He freeze at this. Do U understand?
Is there anything else to do?

First: Never flash a ROM if you don't know how to get back if it fails. But I'LL help. You have to press the camerabutton while doing a softreset. You'll see a screen with three colours. Now connect your phone to your PC and flash a original ROM. That will work for sure. But you have to use XP.
And what too hell have you done that flashing of one of our cooked roms (Can see it cause of the OS Version) failed? And do you try to cook your own ROM? Because it seems so as you wrote you tried to flash your ROM.
Hope I could help

Re:
Yes, I tryed to cook my own ROM, but I'm lamma at this site. I couldn't find how to get it to my phone. Sorry.
And Thanks for your suggestion. I works Thank You very much.

If you have questions on how to cook a or flash a ROM right write me a PM I'll help. And if you want to publish it be sure you'll put credits to the people you took the ROM and so on from. Best is to ask first. For own (unpublick) use this is nessesary.
And now have fun with your ROM.
P.S. If you tried to cook WM6.5 forget to use an old XIP. You have to take a new one. But maybe Cyberdel and me will publish one this evening. Andf maybe kitchen too. But this is just a sideinfo.

Another problem
I've got to this situation again, but today I've got another problem. The baterry is charged, but phone don't wanna start. Is there any reason????

Possibly Bricked my HD2 -

Ok, so here is my issue.
I was trying to download a new ROM to install in my device after installing to the new unofficial T-MoUS ROM. I tried the ROM out and didn't like it so I went back to the stock ROM and from there flashed HSPL but kept having issues with my device not being recognized by the USB connection. Finally got it done and went to flash a new radio.
Found a Radio, but I think I forgot to install it cause I was distracted, and went to install a ROM (Omega I think) and it said installed and after that wouldn't boot up.
Here is where I am stuck at. I can enter the bootloader, and it will restore but then it gets stuck on the Stay Together screen or whatever it says but won't go any further. I did a little searching and found some info on doing a Task 29, but am clueless about whether this works since it seems it is something done before a phone is bricked.
Anyway, any experienced members have any ideas or should I just go ahead and call T-Mobile and invoke my warranty? I'm stubborn and tenacious so I want to try to fix this on my own.

I don't call this bricked, since it actually will load to the bootloader and is thus flashable. I have been stuck on the "Stick Together" screen before and was able to fix it by flashing a ROM I knew was working via microSD.

Could you report back if you were sucessful in fixing your phone. I seem to have the same problem

[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?

mate. as i said, specifics please. like what rom / type of phone do you have? what rom were you flashing? you said radio, now you say rom.
also, as i asked, can you get into bootloader?
please, if you want help, we need information.

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...?
