Is there any known way to fix a bricked G4?
bricked or dead explain more your problem
Bricked
It was bricked, I had the Bule, Green, Red screen. But I went to http://www.htcamerica.net/support/81...downloads.html and flashed the original Rom. Thanx for trying to help though, it's much appriciated.

You were just in bootloader screen, it wasn't bricked! Wouldn't hurt if you gave some details.
Jeez . . .
Sorry for being a noob. Is anyone here actually helpful or are all of you just stuck up?

i'm a NOOB too but you can't expect to be spoon fed can you? this is THE development site for our devices and the guys here are helpful to a fault..but what would your mechanic say if you towed your car into the garage and said it doesn't work? you just didn't provide the information required to get an answer...not that you needed an answer from the guys here...it's all in the wiki or do a search it's been asked a thousand times. if your asking for help in future i'd suggest your more civil about, "you'll catch more fly's with honey"
Done that
I think the search engine is broken cuz I've searched for information about what I want to learn and it will tell that it's invalid. And I tried to be civil but the guy practically told me that I was an idiot, there's no need for it.

Strange . . . I didn't get that impression from the replies you got. As far as your searches saying "invalid", I have no idea exactly what your search criteria was, but you might want to use this in the future.
As far as knownuser's reply, he's right on the money. Noone here "owes" you any thing. It's up to YOU to do the reading to learn what you need to know. Everything you need is either in the Wiki or in the forums' threads. The developers here are developing and they don't have time to respond to questions that have already been asked -- and answered -- a thousand times over. If you're not willing to learn by taking the time to read the information that's already available on here, then you don't belong here in the first place. The developers here don't have time to spoon feed every noob that keeps asking the same question over and over.
Now, if MY response makes you feel like an idiot -- if the shoe fits . . .
OK . . .
One . . . I never said that anyone OWED me ANYTHING. Two . . . if it's a question that YOU or anyone else has previously answered, then why answer it again and get frustrated? JUST DON'T REPLY! WOW! Sounds so hard . . . So I screwed up, sue me . . . >=P
P.S. And NO, you didn't make me feel like an idiot. You just made yourself look like a stuck up jack ass

There's a reason many members get frustrated when forced to answer the same question on a regular basis. In their/my eyes this indicates a lack of understanding and reading on behalf of the member who posted the question. This is a known problem with many forums.
P.S You would be well advised not to abuse other established members who obviously know more than you do. On the off chance that you do require assistance again in the near future, abusing other members pretty much gurantees you wont receive it.
Understandable
FINALLY! Someone explaining things WITHOUT trying to rip me a new one. I understand where you're coming from, but I did apologize for being ignorant yet people felt the need to unload their repressed anger towards me. I am truly sorry for getting ahead of myself and I do appreciate all of the hard work that all of the senior members have put into making our HTC experience a good one; but that tends to make themselves into arrogant monarchs who become full of themselves. Trust me, I know what it's like to get frustrated, I'm a karate instructor who has to deal with kids from ages 4 and up 5 days a week. And if any parent here is reading, they know how tough dealing with a 4 year old can be. Try dealing with 30 at a time . . . But no matter how much more I know than someone in the martial arts, I NEVER act better than them. It's bad for business. So in closing, Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this board but frankly some of you need to cool down a bit. Thanx Peter Petrelli (love the SN, Heros rocks!) for being the only one to politely tell me what I did was wrong.
Best way to deal with Senior members with tendency to flame newbies (i confess!) is to ask like you're Shrek's ***** cat making those 'feel pity for me' big eyes:
"Can you please kindly tell me..."
"I've searched for hours and haven't had much luck in finding the..."
"I've used the search engine a lot but most of the results don't work. Can anyone point me on the right direction?"
and son on and so forth
cheers

I love noobie bricks!!
Ok I get interested reading a thread like this.
Honestly is it not easier to say: I have a phone blah blah, which I tried to blah blah blah, and all I'm getting is blah blah, can someone guide me on what to do or is it dead or not dead? (I think bricked has been abused in this case)
All will easily be explained and someone will help. Details do help! First thing I do, whenever I want to do something is read and read the forum. Thats why I have less posts! ha ha I would have asked alot but frankly all the info (to a certain degree) has been provided
noob mistake from a PC tech, lol...
I very stupidly didn't check to see if a Wizard was a G3 or G4 and flashed the WM5 IPL 1.01 downgrade on it thinking it was a G3 and I was setting up for use with LokiWiz. It tried to boot after the flash, but it froze. Now, it just flickers for a split second when I attempt to power it on. I tried entering bootloader through camera + power, camera + reset, comm + voice + reset, as well as mail + camera + power, and nothing is making it enter bootloader. I'm figuring that in my assumption I made an a** outta myself and finally bricked my first phone, after sucessfully flashing about 20. I read somewhere that you could cut your power cord and tap the live contacts to pins 1 and 5 and unbrick a seriously bricked phone, but can't seem to find the article again. Would someone kindly point me in the right direction? Also, has anyone had any luck with this method?
To enter bootloader you keep 'voice' pressed and poke the reset hole briefly but then again it's nothing that doesn't come in the wiki
One of the things that I tried. I didn't list it though, I'm going nuts with this phone. When I do that it still shows nothing. What I think I did was flash the G3 bootloader on a G4 device. Does anyone know the cut cable method?
No, if you do so and make your Wizard can't even power on, then it's a brick. It is nearly impossible to recover unless you know the JTAG method (AFAIK, only 1 person here successfully unbrick a really bricked G4, and he didn't tell us how).
my suggestion for the bricked phone (if indeed it is bricked, ie., it won't turn on at all) is to call HTC up and see if you phone is under warranty. I bought my cingular 8125 off of ebay and i use it with a canadian provider, so there is no warranty from anyone in that case, but suprisingly, when i bricked my G4 and I was gonna send it to get it fixed at whatever cost they were gonna say, they went by the IMEI # and said that it was still under warranty (irrespective of the fact that i bought it off of ebay and that i wasnt a cingular customer) and fixed it at no cost. They even changed the entire housing and put a new one on there for free (no idea why). So call them and try it. You have nothin to loose by calling. Good luck, i understand the pain and anguish and the "kick myself in the a**" feeling when yo flash a G3 onto G4 unknowingly coz thats what happened to me. again, good luck.
Hi. I have this phone from a friend Touch Dual T.mobile, when I powered up it turns on a screen that has horizontal lines of different colors with writtings on top

Dear freind
Your gene is old gene and u bricked it with HSPL for new gene...
now there is no solution to unbrick a old gene.....
Reverse is possible...u can unbrick new gene flashed with old gene HSPL...
but in your case you need to the service centre...
Anycase it was ur mistake...krazy has clearly mentioned to use olip method first....so u need not to show ur angar in the forum....
If u need help u need to be polite....
correct
ya imblfmstr, I am completely agree with you.
Because that will not work for old to reverse.
It will only work on new gene.
I have got the same issue on New gene so mtty method worked for me.
I have not tried it on old but if you already tried the mtty on old and you got no success then service center is the only option.
They will replace the rom with the default setting or else if ossible they will restore the current to default.
And no one is selfish here everyone is giving there best for to solve problems. you can see this by going through the forum correctly...

You Just have 4 post , and joine 2 month before and you talking like this .
You should search and read carefully and you will found every issue related to this device have been discussed here .
But i think you are not ready to read , you want to give orders and take replay ( HOW?)
How you talk about selfish ,and you want every one here to leave all others problem and question and come to help you with something that we already discussed before , and no result for your problem until now .
How you talk about selfish , and all great people here teach us and give us nice roms and tools free , just for helping others
Buddy , if you want to ask for something, you should search well then ask and once some one read your question you will got replay .
Please see the posts I have hyperlinked in my signature. That will answer all your queries.
Regards,
Hey sunnymobile,
Don't use such rude words for the people here.
People in this forum, infact the entire xda-developers.com team, is great in helping each other without any selfishness.
Even I had bricked my New GENE using the HSPL of old GENE a year back. At that time there was no unbricker for that. But I was confident that somebody here will come up with a solution.
And I had waited for almost one year for the solution. Then finally Orefkov came with a solution to unbrick it.
People here are brilliant in solving problems, we just have to maintain our cool, for other to find a solution.
People here take such a pain to just keep our GENE's up to date. We should respect them for that, instead of cribbing that no one is helping us.
Its our foolishness that we brick your mobiles without reading/understanding things properly. Why blame other for our mistakes ??
Guys, chill he is gone i guess. There is no need to answer threads like this. Just leave it on its own. Remember, we are selfish to sunnymobile
thans from sunny mobile
i m sorry for my rood words.as i say the people are selfish here.i did not mean that every one is selfish.dont it my words so personals.i know that every one here tries to help each other.but in my case no one was relying me.so i was frustrated.i m from pakistan.hope some day some one will find the unbrik solution for htc p3400.thanks to all friends for replying my last post.wish u best of luck

@sunnymobile
Now you are talking business. Thats the way to go buddy.
Don't be frastrated, I know how it feels to have bricked our mobile, because even I had gone through the same frastration. So I can understand your situation well. Thats the reason I had shared my experience with you. And asked you to maintain your cool.
For some problems its very difficult to find a solution, so it may take some time for somebody to come up with an answer/solution.
So don't lose hope, just keep an eye at xda-developers, you may never know, some day you may get a solution.
Dear Sunny, the only possible solution in your case is to send it to service center. there was nothing we could do more. What should we tell you then? And whether you are from Pakistan or from any part of the world, you are no different for us. A buddy is a buddy irrespective of where he comes from, religion or race. We dont even know the location of many of the people here
im sending u a PM chek it @ summy mobile

Rightly said krazy. The cyberr doesn't have any religion, caste, creed or nationality. we are of same breed bound by a common bond (in this case Gene!).
so, it hardly matters from which ppart of the globe you are from.
And as I did already, will again suggest you to visit a service centre
@Sunnymobile,
See how many people are trying there bit to help you out. You should thank Haree for atleast giving you a ray of hope.
People here are really nice and very helping in nature, some times help may come bit late. But it does comes.
One more thing you can try is call HTC costomer care, or you can even email them. You can email them from there site, using the support > Customer service > email option. And ask them where can you send the moblie for service.
Good Luck man.
@haree : So nice of you buddy, to have contacted somebody in pakistan to help sunnymobile.
@Duron23
hi
