i know im sure its bricked. i have flashed several g3s and g4s wizards but this time thinking that i knew what i was doing i flashed a g3 ROM to a g4 wizard.
is there any way to bring it back from the death?
i feel really stupid and sorry because its not my phone.
no ligths the power botton does not work, can't get it into bootloader mode, removeing the bateery does not help....
what can i do?
thanks for any advise.
She sounds bricked to me! If you cant get into bootloaders, then I do not think that there is any hope my friend...sorry!
how about jtags? i read somewhere that the jtags were found
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2355236
but its in another language and its confusing
help!!!!!!!
No, Jtags is still not a solution. There is nothing can do for a bricked Wizard.
ok thanks guys. i will be more carefull next time becuase beleive me i will be flashing more htc devices soon

Cingular 8125 Wizard T-Mobile
My Phone wont start at all too.
G4 Cingular 8125 Wizard with T-mobile.
1 thing is that I hve tried every possible tactic from the book before writing this read every site on google related to unbricking and trying to learn everything about replacements. everything points to hopless options.
If IPhone can unbrick itself i'm sure we can get this working Duh !
However everytime I remove and insert rapidly the battrey, i can see the screen flashing and the red light blicks along with it.
I cant seem to get it stabalized to get into the boot menu...
I'm willing to donate the phone to find jtag however i'd like to learn it myself any tips on how to find the jtag points ?
Question 2
When you say Bricked, I know that the only option left is to replace the motherboard, however what i'd like to know is, Can some1 please explain wht does it exactly mean when people say Bricked ?, which part of the board is not working so that I can get the Chips replaced. Can we take this as an option, yes ?

You can bring a bricked G4 back to life..sort of. Go to eBay and find a working Wizard with broken screen or cracked up case or something so it's cheap. Take the motherboard out of that one and replace the one in your phone and you're back in business! I did it with my last bricked G4 and got a bonus when I discovered the used phone I bought was a G3 (practically un-brickable!..until I broke the LCD!)
Hi all!
Ok here goes. I bought on ebay a Hero G3 running windows mobile. I think this thing is a clone but it seems pretty identical to the htc, although this phone does not say htc anywhere on it. Behind the battery G3 Hero A6288 is listed.

It came with Windows Mobile 6.5. Although it's a clone, is it still possible that it could run android?
Hardware seems pretty much exactly the same. However from what i've seen from looking around I would need Android installed first off in order to update?
Also somehow last night (I was drunk) the phone has somehow set a password in Windows Mobile and I do not know what the password is and so i am stuck big time! Tried following instructions to do a hard reset but these don't seem to work unless i'm doing something wrong? Windows mobile just boots up.
Is there anyway around this? Is there any ROMs of Windows Mobile out there from this thing that I could put on it to get around the password?
Please help, I have been looking all day for a solution to this and it's driving me crazy!

You _might_ be able to load one of the WM "android kits" onto it which are kicked off post boot up, but it is a China counterfeit handset and thus undoubtedly cannot run it natively

Highly doubtful, the processors are most likely totally different

Sorry for bringing back from the dead this thread.
I recently aquired a hero clone, an a6288 with the same specs as the one mentioned in this thread.
The phone after a few days of fooling around cannot boot. It hangs during boot up, right after it plays the windows opening sound. I am trying to hard reset it but I cannot find the correct key combination, can anyone help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

On the real hero, it's menu, call and end call
But the fake is likely completely different.
Also based upon Windows not Android - so it could be anything - have you tried Ctrl + Alt + Del?

That seems to be the problem. The combination is different, I've tried every forum I can find, in russian, chinese, italian and pretty much anything google can give but no key combination seems to work. The company I bought it from seems to be irresponsible on the matter, and every responce I got from them was wrong.
Is there another way I can force the phone to reset? Through a computer via windows or linux?

No idea. Pull the battery for a while? I honestly haven't a clue about these fakes. They are cheap for a reason I'm afraid
Try pressing every key and seeing what happens, try seeing if there is a pin slot as well and push that whilst trying all sorts of combos. Other the that, my only advice is to never buy a fake.
What did you do that broke it?
You must use the button of ignition and the key Volume + and Volume-.
We touch the key of volume and simultaneously you ignite the cel and it was entering Hard Rest.
i have the same china HERO G3 im newbie and i want to know if is possible to switch fro windows to android!thanks a lot

If it's a proper HTC Hero, it runs Android. If it's a fake, it runs WinMo.
So this doesn't sound to be a HTC Hero Which means no android for you afaik.
For those who want to know, after many emails with the company I bought it from, I came to understanding that even they don't know how to hard reset it. The final solution they provided was to return the product to them to fix it (if possible) or to replace it. So either way, I will do that, although I now have no trust on the device (it hanged for no apparent reason) and will probably never use it for anything more than a backup phone.
Final conclusion: Cheap chinese phones? NO-GO!
hello i have same phone with itallian language
i want move it into English ..
any one help how we can change this phone into english ?

Hi,
Anyone have a english rom for this phone?
home+menu+power on is the hard reset for this phone
volume down + reset button ( up ) and power
bumping a dead thread.
Trying to fix a friends phone, I installed a simple HTC cab and now the phone won't boot up.
It says Hero, but then doesnt start.
The hard reset keys listed so far don''t seem to be working.
Anyone know any other hard reset combos that might work?
Have any of you tried pressing ALL of the keys available?
The counterfit market is ridiculous.People should research before buying...My wife-to-be nearly got me a nexus one (fake) for £50 thinking it was a real N1 they even call them the Nexus one and Hero so surely that's patent copyright breach?I think they even say HTC on them!

Flashing multiple times are harmful for any ROM.
Anyways, just download the original winmo from HTC site for your mobile.
Go to the tri color screen (switch off your mobile then pressing power button and repeatedly pressing volume up/down buttons will make your mobile enter tri color screen), and connect your mobile to PC . USB will be shown in your mobile once connected.(I hope you have necessary drivers installed...if not install windows mobile device centre.)
And flash the ROM. N be patient....it may take some time..10..15mins. Just wait.
Once you have installed stock ROM , you can switch to another. But read flashing instructions properly then install custom ROM.

He flashed a non tmous rom to a tmous phone, , , , dead phone.
Although I couldn't help noticing that that rom claims to have a 2.10.50 radio which in theory shouldn't brick a tmous, however it will be about the only non tmous stock rom that WOULDN'T brick a tmous.

Man, what are you trying to do?!!
Are you flashing the stock WinMo ROM? Without entering the tricolor screen!! Seriously!!
Just do the following steps:
1) Download original factory (stock) ROM from HTC website for your mobile.
2) Install WMDC(windows mobile device centre) in your PC.
3) In Mobile, enter tricolor screen,
Method:
Start the phone by pressing the vol down and power buttons together.
4) and when the tricolor bootloader appears connect your mobile to PC and flash the winmo ROM.

I try use android, but android is very lagy and I wanted to reflash stock rom .. To internet I found this guid http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
but reflashing phone he stuck... and now I can't it turn on
ok, now i'm a little confused exactly what position your phone is in.
1 I THINK what you mean is that the flash failed, and the phone now does nothing, nothing at all, screen stays black, no lights, nothing, is that right? (Because that's what i would expect from flashing a non tmous rom onto a tmous phone)
2 however, you could also mean that it starts, but wont do anything, and you cant enter bootloader, , because this is also a fairly common fault (ignore sonalikagaur shouting ''just put it in bootloader'', he obviously doesn't know that there are loads of faults that include not being able to get into bootloader)
Problem is, in both of those situations, there is very little you can do, so ill point a few things to read up on for the different faults.
For case 1, there isn't anything you can do except JTAG it.
For 2, from the various pieces, no bootloader, flash failing at 50% (are you sure it didn't stop at 8% - 10%?), I think it points to a hardware fault, in which case you can possibly try the freezer trick, and there are some threads that talk about not being able to get into bootloader using voldown and power, perhaps they would be worth reading.
however i suspect its deeper than that. If all else fails, there's a thread that talks about heating the mainboard to help the solder joints from the processor to the mainboard reattach, but that's pretty full on stuff, and only to be tried if you don't mind a truly dead phone.
Again, a JTAG may fix it, but then it may not too, and unless you find someone local with teh equipment, its as expensive as a new hd2.
You can sell them for parts for a reasonable amount. Especially the screens.
Good luck.
So samsamual, if its as dead as a doornail, a person shd head straight for a jtag? My boet had 1 which inspired me, and 2years later i managed to get 1, only to enjoy for about a week before i asked my brother to droid mine like he had done his back then. I dnt knw what he was thinking but, number 1 he didnt use winmo device centre, i didnt actually pay attention to what n how he tried flashing, but within the hour i then had myself a rather lovely ornamental piece, yeah, a totally dead bricked HD2, even just laying there deadly n all, i have to say 'what a beautiful phone!' Really, i was heartbroken nonetheless... anyway without a decent telephonic device, my boet had a s2 galaxy and bb 9500 storm which i claimed before he left. A few days later i browsed web for swaps, and amazingly i found a fellow looking for two bbs for an brand new s3, his reasoning that the i9300 is a data pig, it is depending how you set it up. Anyway, two days ago i got me another hd2, bt it also has a frickin problem, it wnt pick up a signal, no service, although yesterday i used whole day on cell c network here in cpt sa, when i changed for a fresh battery (still have my dead spare brick, hence extra battery), then it wdnt pick up a sgnal again, i changed once using my daughters sim, which is the same network, just a newer sim card. It is the same size as the micro sim as far as copper plates on a sim are concerned that i can tell when comparing to my micro sim in my galaxy, my hd2 sim cards' copper plating wd hide my daughters same sized sim card completely. So my q is if her card worked with less plated sim, shd i maybe upgrade my sim card, but... i had a virgin sim in it aswell, worked fine, bt then i wanted my old sim id used the whole day, back in phone, and since yesterday evening up till writing this now this am, i havent bn able to get a signal except when i checked my daugters sim, it worked, took it out, pt mine back, wdnt pick up service, put my kids 1 in again and then it also wdnt pick up again, till nw... nothing? Nw im only sumising but my next q is cd there maybe be damage to the pins that make contact from the phone to the sim? Or cd the phone possibly be blocked And is there gna be a way to check the sim pins without having to disassemble the whole phone. Its nt a major issue though, i cn still connect to the internet via wireless net and do my whatevers there with regard to that, for me its a great phone for anyone into the pc trade, eg, remote desktop pc control, etc etc. So ok, nw... is there a place i cn go to discover jtagn my dead hd2, id like more info, so id probly find in the hd2 forum on xda. I also nd to ask what rom wd i flash if im in south africa, because i knw tmous for us only. And im using cell c in sa, but it gives a long list of operators i cn chose frm if i want, theres even 4 for my country that i cn chose from. Bt cd be many reasons aswel like you sd, i wdnt mind getn other hd2 up n running, and ptn android on both, wel hope I get the 1 andy gn. Iv sum reading to do for this forum. The previous owner of my second hd2 had android on, so then does that mean the phone is rooted already? If it had android on it shd be hey. Leme go read sum, chat later maybe.
