hey guys, you probably know me im not a noob but i honestly did the most stupid thing ever... i was having problems with my radio image, it was showing as unknown under settings/about phone so i had no signal at all. I went to fastboot and erased radio then flashed it again, rebooted and got the same... theen i thought it was spl related, so i went to fastboot again erased everything (fastboot erase system -w) then erased hboot (yeah i know im an idiot) and then erased/flashed radio (here comes the good part, laugh if you want) when it was done flashing radio I F*CKING TURNED THE PHONE OFF so now im bricked... i have no spl or recovery or fastboot or rom or anything... maybe radio xD.... and im sooo upsad, you have no idea guys... so i think thats it for me and android since i dont have money to buy a new phone right now. just keep the forum up, this is by far the best forum there is, the best devs, great comunnity and awesome support from everybody. maybe ill be steping by to see if i can help anyone, maybe they wont take my advice since i bricked my s**t but thats up to you n_n... im gonna go cry now peace..
Wow. Seen u on here a few times before. Familiar with the name. That sucks bro. Sorry. I won't laugh. What a shame

im just saying goodbye and thank you to the forum and everyone that i helped and helped me, people that are not rude for no reason... and just telling what happened... thats it. take care man, and respect other people.
ADrianK...... dont be an arse. "Clogging up" the dev section but you took the time to troll?
@Op, do some research you just might be able to find a way to unbrick it... someone has to know how i mean the hardware isnt made with these systems on them, or are they installed via magic wand? Cant hurt to try what can you do.... brick it again?

there is a way, is called JTAG but I dont feel like buying that adapter to go ahead and dissasemble the g1. I could end up with a bricked phone in pieces, $20 down and a useless JTAG adapter. I think im giving up if there not a way to do it with the usb cable or the sdcard via fastboot or adb or something, meaning ill wait till christmas using my old sony ericsson w610 for a few months... but thanks for the advice man.

This is really sad. I bricked my phone ones too. i had death spl and new radio and happen to flash 1.5 cupcake rom with old radio and got bricked. I was lucky enough though coz i had a friend who totally smashed the display of his phone and was not willing to fix that. I got his phone dissasembled it, got the motherboard from his phone and hooked to mine. And its working good now.

thanks for the comments guys, but sadly this is the end for my g1. right now im looking around on ebay for a cheap but newer phone, maybe i can find something that fits my budget.... R.I.P my beloved g1...
maybe some moderator can close this thread
As long as the RADIO is there, it is still salvageable. JTAG hardware can be acquired for about $2.

Yeah you should try JTAG rather than just letting it be since you've done so much and this is just 1 step further. Lol or you can wait for me to sell mine when I get my hands on G2

Sorry about your phone... edit: I was going to ask what you intended to do after flashing the radio, but I thought about it a little harder.
You might be able to sell the phone as a JTAG project.

thanks man but i dont think i would buy another g1.... and yes i did a lot to it, it a super bigass 2200 mAh battery, new battery cover of course, class 4 and class 6 sdcards.... i hava two because i was using one with a sense rom as nandroid and the class 4 was my daily one with whatever rom i flashed... screen protector, new charger, new usb cable... man.. but the only lost will be the battery cuase i can use the charger the usb and the memory cards in another phone n_n right now im thinking about getting a mytouch slide, i found a good price on ebay. If i get it ill let you know and maybe in the future if i get all sentimental about my g1 ill try to fix it
I know that there is a fix that one can do here shown in the forums. However, I do not want to dissect the phone. My phone is not rooted but I am not sure if I feel confident to send it to HTC because I'm not sure what is considered a "loose fix" to them so they might just send it back to me without any fix and I would have to pay for the charge.
I call HTC about it and they said they would check the problem out because I am still under warranty. Has anyone else sent their phones to HTC to fix the loose hinge issue?
it shouldnt really matter if the phone is rooted..... would it? I can't imagine that HTC would void the devices build warranty for software.

What's the point in getting it replaced with another G2 that has the same hinge problem? They're all like that.
Newer models weren't fixed? Thats too bad. Anyways, I got it cheap on ebay. Of course, I can not send it back for a replacement. I hinge isn't as loose as I have seen others on youtube. Its just lying down on the bed is an issue for me. I called HTC and said its still under warranty and can possibly fix this if it is an "issue" to them.

hmmm. what I am confused about now is what the warranty covers? I can understand the warranty being voided if rooted. However, for accidental physical damages/ liquid(water) damage, what can you do with the warranty? I thought this would apply to phone defects. Tmobile even said that the early models of the G2 were defective. Its just weird that HTC won't fix it for you even if the issue is known from a larger perspective.
Send it to someone on this forum willing to do the spring replacement for you.
this is a f***ing piece of s*** phone. i was under the impression that the hd2 was cool. i bought one and it had static on each and every call. i thought i was sold a defect by the person who sold it to me. since it was under warranty, i sent it to htc for repair TWICE.. and each time, it came back with THE SAME STATIC. it was NOT repaired. i blamed this on the person who sold me the phone, thinking he broke it. i then sold it to someone else.
after i sold it, i bought another one, thinking this time i'll get a non-defective hd2. and guess what? it had THE SAME STATIC on EVERY CALL like the 1st phone!! why the hell does htc sell defective phones with static??!! i dont get it! and why is there a forum dedicated to a phone with soooo much static!!??
my crucial advice to anyone thinking about buying the hd2 is this... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE!!! IF YOU ENJOY STATIC ON EVERY CALL, THEN GO AHEAD AND BUY IT..BUT I'M WARNING YOU!!! YOU WILL BE ANNOYED BY THE STATIC AND DISTORTION!!! A PHONE IS MADE TO PRODUCE CLEAR CALLS, NOT STATIC!!!
so, be smart and STAY AWAY from the hd2!!!
Ding Ding Ding Heeeeeeeerrrrrrrereeeeewwwwwweeeeeeegggooooooooooooo HaHaHa

No static on either of my phones - I have two HD2. Perhaps there is some environmental aspect around your area that is causing this.
two here too, only static i get is on the fm radio.

I've had 2 telstra HD2s and now have 2 US Tmobile HD2s and none have static. These have been my favorites phones by far, and im one of those people who buy and sell every phone they have.
However, I am sure your piss poor excuse as to why this phone sucks completely invalidates the fact that it has one of the largest developer followings for a phone. You are right and I am wrong, along with every one else here. And you are not a troll either, just a well educated and concerned consumer. Thank you for your warning, I will now sell my HD2s. Anyone want to trade for an iPhone?

my sim card or locale is not the issue. i got an unlocked iphone and i use the same sim card and locale as with the hd2. my iphone makes CLEAR calls, never static. so, its not the sim or location.

Have you changed ROM or Radio in your phone?
If not, try to update them, maybe that's the problem...
Can we keep this going??? This is really funny......
By the way.... My iPhone had static but maybe I was holding it wrong.....
HD2 = Good phone
HD2 + XDA Developers = Most bad-ass phone on the market.....
no static on my phone either, and I've tried 2 radios and no static..
is it there when you turn on the speaker?
anyway, I don't think it's wise to just barge in and say that a phone that has such popularity as the HD2 and call it defective.
update your radio and rom. maybe thats the case.
btw, are you having "static" from every place you are making the calls? Have you tried calling from different places?
and a bit obvious, but meh... i assume you have dialed different people right?

If you have to ask you don't actually need one. Life isn't about getting everything you want!
Why dont you scream and scream and scream until you are sick, then she might buy you one.
Or sell some of the other stuff she has worked hard to provide for you and buy it yourself
Or find some work, save up and buy your mum something special

Naaah.
I would say life is about getting as many unnecessary things as possible,
From which you exactly know that they're unnecessary,
But you buy them anyway.
And then after some time realizing that one actually needs very little to be happy,
while there were large parts of the world where the people didn't even have enough to eat.
In the meantime one is consuming and consuming,
throwing stuff away that ain't even broken, just because one can afford to.
To the OP:
Your mom is probably right.
I for example wanted an ipad really bad a while ago.
But after some consideration I realized that I absolutely DONT need it. Because I have a really up to date computer, a galaxy tab and an iPod touch.
Maybe you could try to make a list of what the Vega would bring you and on the other side if that is a function that you can't achieve otherwise.
If this list is not convincing, then you know you don't need it.

23/06/2011 EDIT: IT SEEMS HTC UK DO NOT REALLY CHECK/OR DO NOT CARE! THEY REPAIRED MY PHONE DESPITE IT BEING RADIO S-OFF AND CWM ON IT! Let's hope this lasts for the remainder of my 2 year warrenty!, although it would be better if the chip just didnt fail!
I checked the status of my repair today and it says " Your phone is ready for pick-up. Our customer service representatives or express delivery staff will contact you about a delivery schedule to return your HTC phone." Which means i should get it tomorrow, happy days
I was turning on my wi-fi when all of a sudden my Desire Z froze, completely!
This is on the second day of use after warrenty repair! (it froze and wouldn't turn on again)
So i pulled the battery out and now the phone is messed up, and i can't send it in for warrenty yet, as it clearly has Radio S-Off and Clockworkmod! (but i do not have eng hboot)
When i turn the phone on it stays at the HTC screen for ages, then after a while it fails to load anything and boots into recovery.
In clockwordmod It displays lots of E: failed to mount cache/recovery.....
I tried to flash a rom but it no longer detects my sdcard(s) (fails to mount that too)
i tried to flash via bootloader and pc10img.zip, but that fails with -fail-pu
i need to send it into htc, but will they check s-off and clockwordmod??? this is in the UK! The phone was only bought in march
Have you tried using a different sd card? If you are unable to mount the other partitions, you may be hosed I'm just curious if changing sd cards might help.
yep, i've tried two that i KNOW work, one of them works in bootloader, so i don't see why it shouldn't work in recovery
It's a hardware issue. You'll have to send it in how it is.
Everyone I've heard of with the issue got it replaced just fine despite being s-off.
There's a thread here about it.
-Nipqer
okay, let's hope it's the same for me!
i'm really annoyed at the fact that it broke 1 day after the first hardware failure!
damn im starting to see this issue more than before lately :s im even scared to flash new stuff now
the thing is, i s-offed it, flashed it ONCE since it was repaired and less than 24hours later it freezes and fails -_-
I had a mytouch 4g for a bit and their forums are blowing up about this issue too. It apparently has to do with the emmc chip. It falis to partition any longer or becomes corrupt. There are two that the g2 and the mytouch can come with and one of the chips is much more susceptible to the failure

How exactly do we check the chip?? I would like to check mines to see if I have the bad chip!
Edit: Never mind.. just run this in a terminal or adb

So those of us getting replacements are more than likely gonna have this newer chip in it? Ugh!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
i don't trust this chip, they only fixed it on thursday, it took all of one day to fail!
and this time they can see that i have s-offed it! (last time it just failed to turn on at all) so i'm worried they'll charge me to fix it!
At least this has a 2year warrenty (length of my contract) but now i'm scared to s-off it when i get it back, incase they don't repair it again!
If you put an eng hboot on, you can brick it nice and proper so they can't see the s-off.

So I'm right then. Those of us getting new phones are up **** crick and gonna brick it for rooting and s offing it huh this sux. I bet they did this **** on purpose so if we tried to s off it that it would bust it. This is ridiculous this is OUR hardware how DARE they.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
why dont you total it completely... take a capacitor, take the battery out.. charge the capacitor using a 9v battery and shock all the terminals... it wont turn on then... this is by no means a good way to get out of it but it may work... i hope we could find a solution to fix it but if the chips are crap then try it.... i have done it with my old nokia n95 when it kept freezing... i got a warrenty replacment
dont blame me if it doesnt work though lol its only a thought for you to ponder.... i would try and fix the problem using adb techniques if possible
i did try flash a eng hboot (and desire HD one to try and brick it) on, it fails with -fail-pu, so no can do there!
hopefully they'll fix it regardless, they're picking it up today.
i'm not going to do anything radical to the phone, just incase, if they charge me to fix it, i'll see how much it is, (i'd have to pay £20 to return it un-repaired anyway) if it's too pricey, i'll have it returned, and sell it on ebay and buy another HD2 with that money and whatever i can scrape together!
also, i don't have a capacitor
Not all new G2's are coming with the bad chip. I just got my latest a few weeks back (new in box) and it, thankfully, does have the good chip in it. So, not all hope is lost with getting a replacement.
Also, in the Mytouch 4g forum, many have sent their phones in for replacement just for this reason and many have been rooted and unable to UNroot due to this issue and they have all been replaced without any problems. So, hopefuly you are in that boat and don't have to worry.

Well if it was a new one that might be way. It seems they stopped manufacturing these phones awhile ago so more than likely its been sitting on a stock shelf for months! Unlike a refurb where if the person who sent it back hardware bricked it or something, they probably had to change the emmc chip in it :/
