Bricked Device?? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I connect to wifi and my cell turned off, then it stocked in htc screen, it was s-off and rooted and nothing... now I reset with the original img and stocked in the recovery... anyone can help me?

first question...what radio do you have flashed on your phone? second question...do you have a good or bad chip? if you have a radio other than the stock 26.03.02.26 flashed, flashing the stock rom/PD15IMG will cause issues and will kinda brick the phone, but not a real brick. read through this thread LISTED HERE and it should help you out and bring your phone back

SURPRISE! G1 Stuck Screen

Hey there guys...
So I ****ed up. I flashed the Danger SPL for WG's build of cyanogen's rom and then selected reboot. I wasn't aware you needed to flash a rom after adding the SPL but now I'm stuck with the "T-Mobile G1" screen and it will not boot into recovery.
I hold the Home key down when I boot, nothing. I hit Home, Menu & End keys at the same time and it won't even reboot. any tips? Sorry I'm searching through the threads now for help. Thank you!
No, rebooting is fine. You didn't have the correct radio, which you should have had since 1.5. You can either get a replacement from tmo saying an update bricked it, replace the motherboard or buy a new one.
the radio was wrong?
I had the 26I radio I believe
Its of no help, but I am curious.
why flash DangerSPL for a rom based on Cyanogens ?
I didnt think you needed DangerSPL for that rom ?

you dont need too lol but some people do it just in case they want too flash a 2.0 or hero or 2.1/hero lol... but for the OP if you had the 26l radio then the spl was okay to flash does it boot up to the mytouch screen or does it do nothing I think its camera and power for the G1 to get into fastboot try that and see if it turns on
Take out battery for 10 seconds. Press Back button several times. Put back battery. Boot into recovery mode.
Well...
took it into t-mobile & just received by replacement phone yesterday.
How hooked up is that for xmas?
Brand new G1 running super smooth I love it

Phone bricked after radio update

my phone is dead, wont turn on after i flashed the newst radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563757.
just as a warning for u....
Did you by any chance take out the battery during the flashing process?
It's normal for phone to reboot two times during radio flashing and to show weird image of a box with an exclamation mark.
finally a development related thread... NOT!

What did you do wrong? - because it isn't the file. Hundreds if not thousands of people have also flashed it and not had a problem...
Did you flash over a CDMA?
there is no problem with the radio, i have the newest vertion.
Those radio's are specific for GSM HERO.
In case you haven't read
"Below are links to the latest known HTC Hero GSM Radio ROM's in signed update.zip format.
Again, ONLY for GSM Hero's not CDMA"
it is not the first time i flash a phone.
got my hero flashed with all modaco rom version, then i chanced to vanillia 5.4 and when back to modaco 3.2 because of the bad speed of vanillia 5.4.
but after restore modaco 3.2 with nanodroid, the gps didnt work, even after several reboots, so i try to flash the radio again with the newest version.
everything seems right, but after the 2. reboot the phone is just DEAD.
even the LED dont glow if the phone is plugged.
so i dont know what was wrong, but the phone is definitive DEAD.
is there something i can try?
Nothing I think. Happened to me. But mine was repaired under warranty because they thought the mainboard was broken. So you may be lucky.
Mine was due to pulling battery during second stage of flash. the flashing guides did not explain the full procedure properly and I thought it was stuck trying to reboot and pulled battery.

[Q] full brick

OK, I did it. I fully bricked my MyTouch 1.2. I was using RadioSwitcher GUI to flash old radio and spl so I could install the ported 2.2.1 OTA tmobile rom for 32a. No matter what I did I could not flash old SPL. After successfully flashing radio I couldn't get anything else to flash. I used RadioSwitcher to wipe system, userdata, cache and here is where I think I have my problem from I erased boot. Now I get nothing. No led flash, no boot animation, no fastboot, no recovery. My phone does absolutely nothing. The only time I get an LED is when the battery is out and phone is plugged into the charger. IT flashes a very dull white. With battery in I get nothing. I called T-Mobile and since it is still under warranty they are sending me a new handset and I have to put my battery in it and send the old one in. Do you think they will be able to tell I rooted it and changed stuff on it? Is there any way to recover it? Is there a master reset button that will restore everything if something like this happens?
Don't worry.... you successfully ****ed up the nand...
They need to use many man-hours to get anything back....
They will only trashed it!
I thought it voids your warrenty.

[Q] Boot loop problem

hi,
im going to explain the whole story so you can understand my problem
so i whas playing around with my hero, suddenly their whas an update(using stock rom) and wth i did it.. well my device updated and after that whas done the phone wont boot anymore.. just stands there on the hero logo..
so i tried to flash the stock rom(from htc's website) using fastboot.. but when i start the ruu it doest recieve the information and gives me error 170(usb connection failed)
i got a hero from europe, with stock rom ..
hope there is and answer..
tanx in advance
sounds pretty bricked. i suppose that this was an OTA update SPL and radio and everything. if something goes wrong there you're pretty much screwed..
So you do have fastboot with S-off? If you can get into fastboot use a custom rom from the dev forum.

phone got bricked

after updating my phone (htc desire 816) my phone got bricked.
Home screen loads but everything else not working...
cant connect to internet even with wifi....
need help ..urgent:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Download RUU from HTC. If the phone goes into the home screen you aren't technically bricked.
went to the customer care....they said to change the motherboard
but the problems came after updating...so i dont think its with the motherboard..
A bit more info would help anyone who might be able to help you.
What version of 816 do you have? If you don't know the version, what country are you in and who is your carrier?
What update? Was it a carrier issued update or a custom rom?
Are you rooted?
I unlocked my phone's bootloader and flashed twrp recovery with windroid universal android toolkit .....and everything is working well now...
anyway thank u...
Awesome. Glad you're up and running.
