Hi! I've bricked my Tytn while upgrading and read all the WIKI advice, without any result. I want to send it away for repair but bought it secondhand. Will HTC touch it? What if I pay?
If not, does anyone know a reputable (and quick) repair centre I can send it to? TIA!
You do not say where about you are from but IMEI-check have managed to unbrick phones, it's best to contact them and see as their charge is a lot less than a repair center will charge you.
If you haven't already you might want to leave your details in the "Dead Hermes...." thread as there might be something you missed. Follow the template that Pof's lays out in the opening few posts and try and include a USB monitor read out.
My phone just got back from the guys at imei check. I can tell you prices shoot me a pm....
Hi! Sorry, I'm in the UK.... where are IMEI-check? thanks!
imei-check are in the uk

Ok, I'm just ecstatic b/c I just got my Vario II unlocked! I did have to pay for it but I believe anyone can do it (I'm in the US and it was just horrible when I got the Vario 2 and it was locked to the T-mobile UK when I us T-mobile US and they weren't compatible--but this process worked and should work to unlock it to all GSM networks).
Well here's what I did --I bought the unlock code (38 USD) from www.gsmliberty.com and then downloaded the unlocking program from www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php I followed the instructions for the "imei-check" page with the unlock code from the gsmliberty page (b/c they didn't have the proper unlocking program, but "imei-check" did). So I had to do it a few times, but if you remove your microSD and even the "spacer" it should work. (I tried it once and it didn't work; I reset the device then removed the "plastic microSD spacer" and then it worked--I'm not sure if that was the problem or not--we are just in the beginning stages of this development.)
Ok, so if you do it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE download the USB monitoring programs as it seems the developers are in need of the code you can retrieve from the usb reads. Save the log files and let us know when you get them.
The first usb monitoring program is from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/home/usb-monitor.html and download the trial. The second is from http://www.sourcequest.com/template.jsp;jsessionid=EDF03FE41E63246BF3446E94D94ABE03?PAGE_ID=homeTry and you can download the trial there too.
Please help the developers to figure out why this worked. Everyone's effort is needed!
If you need any other info from me, let me know and I'll do my best to help out with this endeavor.
[It's a bummer b/c I had been monitoring all my USB activity with the USB Monitor and then the SourceQuest one as well, but I kept having to restart and reset my device and thought I wouldn't have any luck, so the last time I did it, I didn't run those programs, and of course that's the time it work--wouldn't you know.]
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but you paid money to this company who appear to be providing codes for IMEI-Check's technology either legitimately, or, more likely, fraudulently. You then ask everyone else to spend money with this same company, and even ask them to help reverse engineer the original technology which IMEI-Check have spent time and money developing?
So, would it be fair to assume you work for GSM Liberty?
EH ? I don't get it ?
Why not just pay the $38 straight to IMEI-check and be done with it ?
Aside from the moral issue - I could understand (or at least see the point ) if the other company were selling codes for a lower price - but to suggest people pay the same amount to a third party company for the same code to use with IMEI check's unlocker is wierd , to say the least !
OR am I missing something ?
I'm not a spy.
I do apologize. I didn't realize that IMEI-check was working for the Vario 2, so when I found out that the gsmliberty unlocking was working I thought I'd tell everybody. (Originally IMEI-check wasn't able to unlock the Vario 2--there was reported problems on the other forums.)
So I looked for another option. And of course after you guys wrote, I see IMEI-check can unlock it, so I didn't mean any harm or immoral action--just development of the unlcoking software for the xda developers.
Cheaper to get the unlock code from t-mobile
does anyone know of a way to unlock the phone with any software from xda developers?

Look here. Was working properly for me.
Hi all,
I know this question may have been asked thousands of times, but hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.
Sometime ago, i found a T-mobile hermes vario ll and handed it into the nearest police Station..... yes there are still honest people about!
Anyway.. i wa told that if nobody claimed it after 28 days then i could return and keep it.
Nobody did claim it, so the phone is now mine, however, predictably the original owner reported it as stolen i presume and the phone part of it will not work.. presumably blocked.
Question now is..... i have an old t - mobile phone which i no longer use.... is there a way i can change the imei number on this device to reflect the one on the old phone which is 100% working and has been owned by me from new?
If so, how do i go about this, and is there a piece of software i can obtain?
Regards
SP
No, imei's are unique to a phone and its illegal to change...
Anybody else... any solution?
Thanks
SP
you wont find an answer to that question on this site i am afraid. Get a bluetooth gps and use it as a pda/gps but you wont be able to use the phone. I'll buy it off you if you want to sell it, it will save me using my xda trion as a tomtom

I don't know what model you would be using in Cambodia, but, like the man says, the wrong radio will brick the phone if it's the wrong one for the model you use.
You still haven't told us the model number.
Even if you live in Cambodia: your phone is bricked, most probably no Software solution
In order of reality:
1st HW solution: Buy a new one
2nd HW solution: Replace motherboard (perhaps not definitive solution)
3rd HW solution: Grab an osciloscope, measure and test the device, find out which chips are done, replace them.
But to be honest: If you cannot send it to HTC or t-mobile for repairs, you have an expensive paperweight. sorry for that mate.
Please note: if you can send it for repairs: chance is this could cost major money: If they find out you HSPL-ed your device, all costs will fall back on you and you will be facing a big bill. If it absolutely does nothing at all, chance is they will replace it free of charge, but absolutely no guarantee this will happen as their diagnostic equipment can see more than you would like...

look here, it will set you back $329, still your phone is probably bricked beyond JTAG's capabilities.
As for your other question: it is a combination of a jig (hardware/box), connector(s) and software.
Also note that if you can access the phone using JTAG, it is still possible you will need other replacement parts to fix it
Problem there: obtain the parts, price of the parts.
I believe you are beter off buying a new one.
BTW: the question about the phone keeps playing up:
a t-mobile HD2 says nothing. t-mobile Europe is completely different from t-mobile US (TMOUS), therefore the repeated question about your phone type.
google "riff jtag" costs about 150 euro, and you will need to dismantle the phone to do it.
on the plus side, if done right it will work, plus once you have a jtag box you can make money fixing other peoples phones. (works with many kinds of phone.)
Thanks all user.

its a tmous, it was already established in another thread, plus only the tmous shows those symptoms when flashing non tmous radios.
Unless you are experienced in this kind of work i would SERIOUSLY recommend you send this away for repair. JTAG route means taking your device apart and soldering, not for the faint hearted!!
There is no software solution, if your device cannot enter bootloader, im afraid its properly bricked!
Use the web to locate nearest repair centre.
Dear PA49
i also in cambodia and faced the same problem as yours.. the damn **** expensive bricked hd2.. i dont know if u have solved your problem.. mine is still waiting for 3 days by a mobile care shop in my home town.,..he charge me 30$
this is my phone number 017 777373
and probably your boot is erased, not a must you have your jtag, you can take it
to a repair shop for dead boot repair/unbrick.

way to go to resurrect a two year old thread
Hi! I looking for somone trusted who can repair my Leo (v. T-Mobile USA). Phone died after flashing new rom with incorect radio. Will be great if I could do it in Liverpool or Manchester. Please.
you could always send it to htc, , , ,all tmous are still within teh 1 year manufacturers warranty. Dont mention flashing, and it'l be fine.
Thanks for answer. I called HTC already, but one nice lady checked the IMEI said that they have reported that the phone had something done with the software a few months ago and the phone is no longer a guarantee. I bought it from other person a week ago and have no contact with that person anymore.
ahh lol, so someone was stupid enough to try sending it back without removing hspl, , d'oh!
Good luck huntiung down someone with a JTAG box and the skills to dismantle it without damage. Get talking to freelance phone repair shops.
Thanks samsamuel ! Probably you have right. You are very helpful and experienced, you realy don't know anybody who could resolve my problem? Of course not for free.
heh, no sorry. I dont know anyone in the gadget biz. If I had a problem myself, and couldnt use warranty, i'd probably buy a riff jtag box and have a go myself, , but i wouldn't want to try it on someone elses phone, i hear the hd2 is sooo easy to break when dismantling.
Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad English, I am French.
I have a HTC HD2 blocked on a phone operator (Orange)
I bought an unlock code (20€) on this web site (unlock-phone-htc.com) and after 92h, no answer, no contact.
Anybody knows this site? Is it a swindle?
I need help.. I want to get back my money or to have this unlock code.
If there is a method to unlock my phone for free, i take !
Thank for helping
PeillY0u
No way to do it for free sadly.
you need to chase up the site for a refund, but check you gave them the correct imei, if not its your own fault and no refund.
also chech around here there are a few recommended sites, just look harder (try the search option it works well )
But even if I gave a bad IMEI, it is not normal that I have no news ! And effectively they asks only once the EMEI number and typing error is easily made :/
I would personnally never want to give my IMEI to anyone. With all those IMEI scams floating around.. Never give ur IMEI. Unless possibly to ur phone provider or the police. Seriously though, why pay 20 euros on a website, that has high chances to be a scam, rather than bring it in a shop where you know the guy will not dissapear... It also costs 20 euros to do it in shops, so.. its not about saving money, is it?
Anyways, check ur spams, ask the website, annoy them. Try and leave comments that u get no answer, and try and discourage future people wanting to buy from this site to get scammed
