[Q] Phone locked up on boot. Did I brick it?

Recently flashed to NSFfans 6.5 WM rom. I couldn't activate the phone on my account because it wouldn't take the ##...# codes.
Long story short I attempted flashing Bigstorage_SprintTouchRom.exe to try and get back to sprint software where I could use the ## codes.
Everything went smoothly until first boot when it stopped at the "HTC smart mobility" screen. I then hard reset it (send+end+reset button on bottom) and it is still locking up on that screen.
Did I just break my phone?

Thread moved to General.
No, you didn't brick it. It simply sounds like a bad flash.
Try flashing to another rom and see what happens. Which unlocker did you have on? 2.31 or .41?
BTW, if your ## codes don't work is probably because you are using a themed dialer. NFS' rom has a folder under Start Menu that is called "Phone Codes". In there, you will find the PST shortcut, which will allow you to program your phone.

if you can get into the bootloader (tri-color screen) then you haven't bricked it.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
How can I get to the boot loader if the phone stays at the "HTC smart mobility" boot screen?
I tried using the rom update utility but it's not connected so it won't do anything.
---------------------------------------------
Edit: Okay, I have successfully re-flashed back to 6.5. The bootloader can be accessed by turning on the phone while pressing the camera button.
I am using 2.31 unlocker. When I try and activate the phone again what do I need to change in the phone codes to make it work?
Thanks guys.

Under the PST programming, more than likely you will only need to change:
MSID
MIN
HOMESID
username and password (for internet)
You shouldn't need to mess with anything else afaik.

Details, details - how have you flashed? Have you tried flashing from bootloader? Flashing a carrier rom from bootloader should do the trick.

Need help about downgrade, TOUGHEST problem ever!! Softbank 001HT DHD

Hi all,
I've been in a trouble that never been before. And after several tries, lots of google, I have to ask for help
I've got a Desire HD locked to Softbank Japan (001HT) comes with v2.37.726.2 with S-ON and can NOT access to any menu except emergency call.
So I can't enable USB Debugging, can't flash to another version although I have goldcard already (Main version is older! problem).
Phone can go to recovery, fastboot can see phone, but ADB NOT.
Tried all mode recovery, hboot usb, normal mode (only emergency call) and HTC original upgrade tools can't connect to phone as well.
So, the situation is: can't enable USB Debugging, phone not allow to flash to any older version, can't ADB. ONLY HBoot usb fastboot can see phone.
Anyone have experience with this before?
Willing to donated some $$$ if can help me out.
Thank you

You cannot downgrade that build, because HTC added some new security measures. Sorry, but you are stuck before someone finds a new way to downgrade.

That's sad Any chances to flash to higher version or whatever so at least I can use the phone as a PDA?

Just to give it a bump.
Any way to by pass that emergency call only so I can use it as a PDA?

Found those:
PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Orange_ES_2.37.75.8_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_194089_signed
and some TMO_UK TMO_AT with 2.37.11x.x
will give them a try

Update:
PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_TMO_UK_2.37.110.5_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_189654_signed
This file works. Although there is no solution to downgrade 2.37, but at least it can by pass that stupid emergency dial only and allow to input unlock code / or use it as a PDA

This Japanese phone need special way to enter the Airplane mode without the SIM card. I translate from a Japanese site:
1. Slide down to enter Emergency call interface.
2. Put and hold the Power button for few seconds, a dialog will appear, select Airplane mode
3. Touch the Home button
4. Now you can use the phone, change the settings, root, and unlock it

Hi,
@Tudo: Thanks for the info.
Question: I put my phone into airplane mode and was able to access a screen where I could read "Sim network subset unlock pin".
So I got an HTC unlock code from a trusted website. After I input the code, it said: "Invalid password"; and my phone still is sim-locked. Am I doing something wrong? Does "sim network subset unlock pin" mean the same as "sim unlock code"? I'm lost here...
Hope someone can advise me...;-)

Help - Bricked/Broken Trophy?

Hi all,
Bought a brand new HTC Trophy from an auction site but has no warranty.
Going to contact HTC to see if they can provide some type of support.
Downloaded Zune and updated the phone fine the first time. It then mentioned another update was available so went through the process.
The last screen on the update said : Waiting for phone to reboot.
Now I watched the phone for over 30 minutes and it was stuck/frozen on the HTC logo when powering on so I switched this off thinking something had happened.
Now I'm unable to even power on the unit, factory hard reset or anything. Has anyone experienced this before?
Regards,
John

Try going on HTC's website and asking their support staff if they will repair it under the general warranty?

Yeah I've emailed HTC but of a language barrier. Kept mentioning to return to my dealer, however I didn't buy it from a dealer. Will see how I go.

Hello,
Make a gold card with the Y cable and unbrand the Trophy, and then put other ROM in it, it will work with Y cable process.
Regards

Hi Prootc1, my phone initially had a stuck HTC logo and was forced to power it off. Since then, the phone will not respond to any keys / power on at all. It's pretty much 100% bricked with no responses/leds/lights emitting.
I'm wondering if I do find a repair service that offers JTAG, may be the only way? but this is assuming the phone can be switched off to reflash?
Anyways an update is that I've taken it to our local comms provider who are sending it away for service. Will hear back whether it's under warranty or not.

Hey LEFTKOYL,
Can you try the RSPL/HSPL tool?
I've given WickedPenguin a guide which should help you (assuming your on the correct boot loader version)...Get that tri color screen and note down the SPL details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207721

I too am having the multi-color screen appearing. I plugged my phone into my computer last night for the first time and it said there was an update. I left it running and came back to a 'failed update' message and this screen. From the pieces I have gathered, from reading in the developer section, it appears I am hosed. There is not a SPL unlock for my model of the Trophy, which apparently goes by the name 'SparkW for Verzion' as well. This was not a pleasent way to start my day.

use this method by ansar

not that the method are the same but if you are not using HTC vodafone France you can use a different rom from here

you can also try the Gold card method too...
If your phone is completely dead .. you can do JTAG brick repair .. if you want someone to do it for you ..you go to mobileTechvideos here :

Huawei p8 fastboot fail

Hi,
I have been looking for answers about unlocking my phone for ages, tried a lot of solutions but nothing works.
I have been trying to unlock my p8
One of the steps involved rebooting the phone into fastboot mode. Here it goes wrong because when i push all buttons: volume up/down and power button, the phone tries to istall some update (Huawei software installing) and then stalls at 90%
Then i have to reboot it again and start all over with the same result.
I have the adb toolkit, latest driver, phone has bee reset to factory settings, what else can i do?
Thanks in advance
R

Have you tried adb command "adb reboot-bootloader"? I'm using this command to get into fastboot.

werirly enough, i just clicked recovery in Hisuite software from Huawei and the phone went instantly into fastboot/recovery mode, no need for presing volume up/down and power button to get it there.
opened adb via the command and typed fastboot oem unlock ************************
got the message phone unlocked so i think that did the trick? Just need another sim to see if it is really unlocked
then i entered "fastboot reboot" in the command and it restarted, seems to work ok now
so i guess this one is solved by myself

i guess i am wrong
the phone is stil locked adn the problem of my first post remains
any ideas?

This is bootloader unlock guide, not SIM unlock. For SIM unlocking you need a paid software but i doubt that it's even locked to a carrier.

when i got the message "Phone Unlocked" i tried to insert sim cards from 2 different countries which work on another unlocked phone.
I had to insert a sim code but it does not get accepted.
I did not know there is a difference between unlocking and sim-unlocking
Is there no other way then paid software? The p8 i own is bought from Orange, doesn't even work with an orange sim from another country

Yes, they do phone network unlocks as well - here's their step-by-step unlock guide for certain Huawei models (includes the P8): https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-android-hisilicon-unlock-guide
Perhaps, you should first contact them with your details - phone make+model, country of origin, network provider & IMEI - to check if it's possible for them.

Well when you go to Huawei Centre just don't tell them that the phone is unlocked. If hardware of the phone is damaged your warranty would be valid. I am not sure about software.
By the way you can't lock bootloader again. Even if you do it will say relocked not locked. So it means that bootloader was unlocked.
