Bricked G3, I know it can be revived! Help me!!!

Stupid me...
I bricked my G3 while updating to faria's WM6, but stupid me I had IPL/SPL at 1.xx. Now after the stupid try, I semi-bricked my Wizard, but was still able to go into the bootloader screen. So I decided to reload Cingular 8125 2.25 on it tomorrow.
Well today is tomorrow, and right when I was about to load up the factory ROM, bootloader screen and all, it shuts off. Battery isn't dead, cause yesterday it had a full charge and it wasn't running all night (semi-bricked, mind you). And now it won't come on.
Oh wait... it just came back on...
Crap, nevermind, it shut itself off again.
What's going on? It can't be bricked if every hour it decided to give me a bootloader screen to tease me for ten seconds?
If I wanted to be teased, I'd call my ex-girlfriend...

flash the stock rom when it's on, leave it connect to the usb. try a hardware key hard reset to enter bootloader screen

Got it. The problem was getting it on really. But I figured it out and got it charged. Now I got custom firmware on it. Thanks

seems like i have the same problem. the bootloader screen appears for 5 seconds and then it's gone again.
how did you manage to charge it?

anybody could help me? rom upgrade failed! (no solution on the forum, for 3 months:()

hi all,
i have an htc p 3300, actually used to have... becasuse;
i have tried to upgrade to wm 6.0... no problem seems to appear for the first two days... but then, suddenly screen gone black... i have tired to reboot it but no way... i took the battery away for a while... then it worked... i downgraded to 5.0... but the same problem still exists... now the situation is; if i remove battery for a while, it works; both in bootloader, and normal wm 5.0... i uspl it, flash new rom... but the common things such as 260-270 errors etc... a few times i succeeded to flash new rom... it worked again.. but then screen goes black as if it was broken... it is freezing and getting fade to black...
any body could help me???? i've been working for 3 months.... i bought a new kaiser plus a new iphone... but i miss my arteMISS

hate to say it but in this situation I'm inclined to think that it is a hardware issue.
Sorry you have this issue. I have a service manual for my Wizard/Prodigy.
There may be a way for you to put your ppc into bootloader by using the buttons, and then reflash the rom.
I once had a malfunction flashing the rom and that fixed it. on mine it was [Camera +Reset+release camera] i don't know if that might work, but it is worth a try to put your phone into bootloader first. also, you should remove the battery and hold the power button for a few to make sure that the ram is completely wiped. Flash the official rom and see if that worx.
Good luck.

hi
My artemisis also dead. Afterhard reset it start the bootscreen and nothing als. What must i do ?
Please helo my. Thanks

i think i bricked my phone help

i was running the button program and it stopped at 98% and the bar turned red. i did the recovery process and got the colored screen. after that i couldnt active sync phone with computer, i turned the phone off and now cant get it to turn back on. i am f$#%ed arent i
any help would be wonderful.
thanks

Which is your device,G3 or G4 ? well,if its a G3,then try to get into bootloaders (multicolor screen),if it gets there,try to flash Button's Rom again,but if its a G4,then I'm afraid it might be 'Bricked',still try to get into bootloaders,if it gets there,then its safe.
Cheers!

Don't worry i bricked my G4 like 3 or 4 times already but managed to revive it lol
If yours is a G4,
-enter bootloader ( i think camera+soft reset button) -- if you can't get into bootloader, maybe it's time to pay a visit to service center
-flash using wizard love ROM, just use the RUU included in the rar file, if you're not italian, just "Avanti" means something like next (http://rapidshare.com/files/17792050/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar)
-After installation is finished and your device is alive again, install EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab
-SOFT RESET
-Let it reboot until you get into the today screen (ignore the ugly splash, that's the price you have to pay to get your device alive.. )
-Re-flash WM6 using Shelltool, read the shelltool documentation and make sure you don't miss anything.
I read there are easier method like soft and hard SPL, but never try. The above is what I always do when I brick my wizard.

its a g3
but the thing is everytime i try to turn it on, nothing happens. The first time, after it stopped at 98% i turned it off and got the bootloaders screen, but active sync didnt work, then i turned it off again and it never came back on. the next day when i got home, try to turn on and nothing. Also when trying to charge phone, no orange light shows up. anything you can think of will be awesome
thanks

dead battery perhaps? try borrowing one of your friend's charged battery.
I bricked my wizard several times but never got to that "really dead" point.
The only thing I can think of is just, IF you managed to get that bootscreen again, and can have your wizard alive long enough to flash, don't turn it off again, but try re-flashing using RUU (they worked on bootscreen even though active sync is not connected). I also don't have experience reviving G3s, maybe another member with G3 can help?

need help...i have no idea whats wrong with my htc6800 stuck in the tri colored scree

ok i have a issue with my fone my phone is stuck on the tri-colored screen which says:
TITA100
SPL-1.20.01ipro
well i am as u can see im not good with tech. stuff like this but i would like sum advice or ideas on how to fix my problem. well here is how it all happened. my fone started off fine, out of the blue it started turning off by itself, then coming back on. it will reboot fine then as soon as i touch the screen or try to text or call it shut off on me. first i thought my battery was dying. that didnt work kept it on the charger switched out the battery, still nothing ended up doing the same. so a fren told me to hard reset or press the ok button pwr n the reset button at bottom using the stylst. now im stuck in bootloader mode after i ran a program:
HARD-SPL-MFG
and was told to flash the fone, which i had no idea what to do the person who was helping me i didnt hear frm again n i was stuck in this tricolored screen what should i do? i just want my phone up and running so i can use it once again...if thats possible..it be great i love the phone n dnt want the money i invested into it wasted
thank you soo much,

If I had to guess, it sounds like you have installed a SPL that is not compatible with your existing radio and rom.
First thing is I would try downloading the stock rom for your phone, I believe you can download this from HTC's website, I would download the newest and the one prior to it. Try installing the older of the 2 first since your SPL that you do have is older, and if it fails to install, then try the newer of the two.
If it still fails, come back here and I'm sure somebody else can give you more advice.

[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...
