Rooting my old phone for my sister after getting a mytouch 4g. My old phone had one of those perfect SPLs and i ended up using the goldcard method on the cyanogenmod wiki. After flashing a new radio from this thread and after rebooting the phone won't boot past the mytouch 3g splash screen. No, I can't boot into recovery mode and no, I can't boot into hboot/fastboot. Is there anything i can do to save this phone?
Same Problem
While trying different RUU****.exe It gets stuck at 81% showing Uncompressing on the phone.

Hello i'm rooting my mytouch 1.2 for the first time, i've followed all instructions on unlockr, computer recognized phone, gold card successful, installed sappIMG and i've been stuck on htc magic screen for over 35 minutes. So the phone has never got to home screen where unlockr says the touch screen wont work, its been stuck on the htc magic screen. Do I just go ahead with the next procedures or what? thanks
yes, just move along and install custom ROM

Wow. The instructions must have been changed a lot since I rooted my phone.
When I rooted it was pretty easy to follow.
Make goldcard
Place goldcard in phone
Reboot to bootloader to flash sappIMG
Reboot to bootloader again to flash custom recovery
Flash stock spl 1.33.0013 back to device (so that you have all of your memory back)
Reboot to recovery to flash your custom rom.
Set up your phone
Reboot back to recovery and do a nandroid backup.
Well I just got this Evo from a friend and i was poking around with CDMA WS and now Im stuck in a boot loop at the 'HTC evo 4G" i can get into the boot loader but no recovery. I placed the PC36IMG1.img on to the SD card and it says something that its an older version. I tried to RRU from the boot loader but it wont let me and im not sure what one to use. i had just flashed the latest Sprint Lovers Rom before this happened. Am i screwed?
*Update*
I flashed a newer rru and it brought me up to hboot 2.10.0001 S-ON still bootloop.

If it boots there's always hope. I would try flashing Ra from bootloader using the instructions found HERE
No your not bricked when you get bricked that means you cant even power on your phone and have a black screen

Looks like i need to erase and flash the boot partition which i have no clue how to
flashing RRu's does nothing
Not technically bricked but useless.
Its going in the microwave ill post a video
Would anyone be interested in trading a Epic for a Evo? i have 2 Epic's one was my ex-gf's till i fired her . But i trade it for a Evo. It only about a month old. Excellent condition.
so im trying to root my sisters mytouch 3g and it was originally 2.2.1 with a "perfect" spl, i used rom manager to flash clockwork mod, that failed and left me with no recovery, so i followed the guide to make a goldcard and was able to get it to the 2005 spl which showed s-off H (its a google branded phone) I was then able to flash clockworkmod recovery I then tried to flash cm6 to the phone and it just sat at the splash screen. I tried 2 other roms as well with the same results. Then i was reading more and it said the 2004 spl was s-off G so i went to flash that, it said flashing complete restart phone through menu to complete i did that and the update screen came up for a second then the screen went black.. Now i cant boot into hboot, recovery, or fastboot. Im thinking the phone is now bricked! Are there any other tricks to try and bring this thing back..I read somewhere about jtagging but could really find much about it. I need to get this thing working asap and dont even understand how this happened.. Ive hacked alot of things and this little phone as been the most confusing and time consuming thing to date. also if it helps it was radio version 3 something. When i try to boot using power and back the splash comes up and if i keep holding after about 4 seconds it reboots again, if i let go a second after the splash screen it just sits at the splash until i pull the battery after a few minutes.

Its a brick. I'll tell you now that you can find a step by step process on using JTAG in the Wiki, but its not an easy process. Your going to have to have some moderate electronic knowledge plus moderate knowledge of how the phone boots to get it working. Your better bet would be to have it replaced under the warranty or insurance if you have either. If not, your second best bet would be to find someone who already has a working JTAG setup and see if you can get them to help you out.

I have a problem with my G1. I've rooted it (with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 ), and afterwards I had to update SPL (downloaded dangerous SPL from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/downloads/detail?name=spl-signed.zip&can=2&q= ). I've forgotten to update RADIO first, and I am stuck with boot screen.
I cannot use adb, camera+power, recovery (home+power), home+back+power doesn't work either. On boot screen I try to reboot it via send+menu+power, but it doesn't work - the only method is to take out the battery.
Is there any option that I can try to fix it?
I have 1 year more warranty for this phone, so I don't want to lose it.
//I have second G1 working, if that can somehow help in fixing it.
I know it's my fault. But is there anyway I can repair it?
same boat rite now, tried to flash new radio onto my rogers dream last night in order to flash ginger yoshi. after super wiping i then went on to flash the radio and it is now currently stuck at the rogers boot screen not allowing me to enter fastboot or recovery
You cant get into the fastboot? or holding the camera and power?
