Here's a tricky problem, need expertise!! Kind of urgent..

I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2

actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide

I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.

im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der

Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.

yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous

Yet Another "Doesn't Boot" Question!

First off, howdy to everyone on the forums!
Alright, I flashed my AT&T 8125 with a super feature-packed wm6 rom andd everything was working perfectly. I got a little disenchanted with TouchFlo, so I downloaded a vanilla rom and tried to flash it again.
Bad mistake - at 99% the flashing process stopped and said something about "communication error." The 8125 was displaying a screen with a fading red bar, a fading green bar, and a fading blue bar with some numbers in the upper left (IPL 3.08 and SPL 3.08). Oh, and there's "RUU" displayed in the upper right. It will sit at this screen forever.
However, when I plug it into my computer with a mini usb cable, the phone just acts like an unrecognized usb device (I get the usb connected sound on the computer) and the phone starts blinking on and off, displaying the same screen as before.
How badly is this thing messed up? Is there any way to fix this? I hear tell of some "boot from mini-sd card" sorcery, but I have no idea.

I got almost the same problem...
Hi,
I got the same problem...after flashing to 100% it was stuck and has to take it off. And after that it comes on with three color bars and does not connects thru Active snyc....and every ROM unitluty says there is connection error.....
Any help from anyone....
Thnx!1

Hello,
same happened to me...and no ROM utility would work.
...except : the old WM5 "button" ROM that people use to downgrade.
you can start from there. Downgrade to that ROM, and if successfull, then you can reapply IPL/SPL upgrade, Radio upgrade, then the latest WM6 ROM of your choice.
The name of the "button" ROM I used, should you need to Google it :
"CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE"

Did you read the stickies in the Wizard Mobile 6 Board? Somehow that seems unlikely, if you're still lost.

[Q] Activesync and Bootloader again

Hi ladies,
after searching the threads about bootloader mode and activesync I didnt find a working solution for me. I just received a new HD2 with WM and have had a couple of failed boots - I just resetted the phone and started over. This is working more or less 1-2 times before failing the boot mode again.
So i wanted to install magldr and secondly android rom (DHD), but I cant activesync in bootloader mode in the first place. ofc the display beneath the htc logo shows 0% all the time. What can i do? Unfortunately I dont understand what others said to do in this case (RUU, HSPL )
Can some1 pls explain me what to do?
thx and regards

Ladies?
Read this here, if you still don´t understand what to do, re-read.
And please learn about the search function of this forum, the term "bootloader" will guide to at least one more sticky thread with basic tips and hints.

Thx, this was what i was looking for. Fixed it so far.
Thx tictac

[Q] problem with my Htc elf

ok guys I have a real problem..
I tried to upgrade from wm 6.1 to 6.5 with a guide from this forum.
I am new so I started searching a guide to unlock my htc.
I found one and after following all the steps correctly I unlocked it BUT after some seconds, the phone restarted.. And from that moment stacks on smart mobility and then again restart.. when I plug in the usb cable the led turns on orange and after some seconds disappears and then comes again on.. I tried to hard reset the device but nothing happened.. still have the problem.. I searched the forum but I didn't found something familiar... please help!
Thanks a lot

Read the 1st thread, hope it can help you

Tried reset, tried hard reset, tried installing the default rom and again nothing.. still stacked on smart mobility..

Go to "search this forum" enter "stuck in smart mobility" and you'll get many results, read them all and see how ppl solved this.
Good luck.

Ok, I did a search and found something about updating rom.. I did that and the result is that I have my htc unstacked and with wm6.5 thanks a lot!

Congratulations

[Q] Need serious help here.

Ok so i think i bricked my phone
Here's what happend:
My ROM was freezing up on me constantly so tried a different one, but had the same effect. MAGLDR 1.13 had problems booting and so had Clockwork.
So i figured i'd flash a winmo 6.5 rom to start all over. Now when i tried to flash the stock ROM i crashed at 8% i could only remove the battery, and now its unresponsive to everything, soft rest, boot into bootloader, normal boot, charging.
I really need my phone, does anybody have an idea?
Thanks.
Greetings.

i would pull your battery
hold down volume down and red power buttone then install battery while holding
that should get you into bootloader screen
you should also post what you tried to flash and what phone u have to get to this point.
possibly get a battery thats charged completly to try

The battery trick didnt work.
I tried to get rid of MAGLDR by flashing this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
and then the dutch one.
At 8% of flashing, an error occured. Had to pull out my battery and my phone has not responded to anything since.

Still nobody with any ideas?
I know the help on this forum isn't much but come on, im really desparate over here.

...when you are not able to get to the tri color bootmenu by holding volume down while starting your phone then your phone is bricked.
The only way to unbrick it, is to use a jtag adapter..not very cheap, about 200$ and more!?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

At 8%, it's flashing the radio/SPL/etc (the important stuff). Plug it in to the charger. Any lights at the top? If not, bricked.

Problem you have is sort of referred to as "stuck radio ",,,,(mostly by me, to be fair) and you aren't getting answered because there seems to be no real fix for it. Some have managed after much trial and error to get a radio to flash, but most cases seem to end with nothing but JTAG or new mainboard.
Something that came up recently was flashing the 2.07.51 radio (not for tmous phones! ) so you could give that a try. Be interested in your results.
you could also try the "sd and sim and battery out, chill the phone in fridge/freezer,sealed in a bag, rom/radio image on the SD ready to flash" method. If this works then you have heat induced hardware failure.
