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.

Restoring to stock

I know there is all kinds of information out there on returning a phone to stock, but I cannot seem to get anything to work. I flashed my Magic with the engineering spl, set up a custom recovery image and rom, but now I need to return it back to stock to exchange it... I've tried the old rogers wiped rom, and I've tried a rooted version and a signed version... I can't seem to get anything to properly flash on to this phone now... I can flash any of the fun cool roms, but no boring old stock. The closest success I had was the signed rom installed, but hung on the rogers boot screen. the other ones all complain that they are unsigned. Any advice? I need to get this thing restored ASAP, and I would normally muck with it myself, but I don't have the time to play around anymore. I need to ship this thing back in 10 days or less now... Please?

Before you flashed anything, you should have fastboot-ed a recovery image & did a nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Did you do it?

Can't Flash Fresh ROM

I have run into a strange problem. I have spent the last 2 days trying to flash the Fresh Rom back onto my phone. I had some problems while trying to do Apps to SD. Flashed back to stock, Updated and rerooted. I can restore all backups of the original sprint ROM. Every time I flash Fresh 1.0 or restore one of my nandroid backups for Fresh it will get stuck in a boot loop. I have searched everywhere and tried every possible option and can not get this Rom back on the phone. Anyone have any ideas?

first off, do you have a modded Recovery Menu? Because you need one, it is in the forums, i believe it is stickyed, but if its not search for it.
second, did you download the right ROM for YOUR phone?
Third, is the download a good download? it is possible it is corrupt.
put ALL these into consideration.

That what I was gonna ask gotta make sure you're rooted for flashing first! Good luck and let us know if you have any questions...if the directions for rooting viat the Android SDK are too confusing for you like they were for me search the forum for the "flashrec" way of rooting your phone so easy a caveman can do it!
Also be sure to get the base 1.29 RUU just to have if you need to default to stock and I found with my Sprint Hero model that recovey image 1.5.2 works best for back up and restoring 1.2.3 didn't work at all for me hence the need to run the base RUU anytime I tried to restore lol.

Yes I did all of that. I had it flashed with the fresh Rom before. Used the same files that where on my card even redownloaded. No go.

guys, i really screwed up.

Hey guys, firstly, apologies if this post is in the wrong place.
i think i have made a massive mistake and am really hoping someone here can offer a solution. I installed hard spl, and went in search of official roms to try out. i installed this rom RUU_Leo_Dopod_CHS_1.70.706.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.3 2.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe
from a link from one of the stickies in this section. i didnt see any obvious problem with doing this, but maybe i just have no idea what im doing. neway, no when i try to boot the phone up i get a message in red writing saying 'your rom isnt customised for your hardware. please reflash the proper rom code or contact the service center'
what can i do. is my phone bricked? how do i flash back to a compatible rom if i cant get an active sync connection?
ne help would be really appreciated guys. feeling slightly desperate here

turn the phone off, hold down 'vol down' and turn it on and you'll get to the bootloader. plug your usb in and it'll change from serial to usb. then flash as normal and think carefully next time

Same problem here. Just enter bootload, flash other radio, then flash other rom...

phew, thanks a lot guys. worked perfectlyjust out of interest, why didnt that rom work?

Don't know but I don't try non-WWE stock ROMs - I only use custom ROMs these days or stock ROMs from my region to be on the safe side...

If you are stuck on bootload in SFM 3.0.2 read this

After you flash the rom you are stuck on the bootload, probably flash the kernel 710th
Wipe everything and flash rom again without kernel 710 because it does not work.
google Translate

If you don't insist on Sense ROM, I strongly recommand that you change to Froyo Dragon. SFM is always too slow for me, compared with Froyo Dragon.
But if you indeed prefer Sense, then I would suggest you change to Hintay Magic 0.5, which is also a nice ROM

i have a really big problem .
i do have this rom, and used it for some time .. but i wanted to flash another rom, and i cannot seem to get into recovery.
i dont know what the heck is going on.
i got rom manager installed, clicked, flash recovery, and then selected reboot into recovery ..
it does not show the ! sign or anything.
just the "Vodafone" logo with red background.
even tryed adb reboot recovery though adb, but nothing.
what can i do ?

As many others would say, maybe you should list more about your device here.
People are willing to help, but the information you put down here is way too little.
Your device is 32A? What Radio? Which Recovery?
Even if you have different settings as SFM requested, you're probably still able to install the ROM, but this might be where the problems are.
