Well, there's no such rom 't-mobile radio prodigy',you are mixing things here.Its either Radio Rom or OS(Rom). Assuming by your post 'the beer image' as you say,it must be the "Button's Rom 1.05" with IPL/SPL 1.05 (G3 Bootloaders). Did you flash the Button's Rom 1.05 on your G4 device,well,if so then,its a "BRICK",coz flashing a G3 Rom with IPL/SPL in it'll certainly brick a G4 phone,Now nothing can be done with it.

well i've heard something of leaving it 24 hours without the battery and shoking the battery but no luck so far...isn't there any program that would recognize this brick as a flash memory so i could just put the bootloader back?and yes i have put a g3 rom on my g4....and it makes me feel like an idiot...can't i just jump start the thing into the bootloader?(T-Mobile_UK_2.19.11_Radinly - this is what i flashed)

Are you sure it was T-Mobile_UK_2.19.11_Radio only which you flashed and not the Button's Rom 1.05 ? coz flashing any Radio rom will not Brick any phone,regardless it being a G3 or G4,coz it doesn't include any IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) in it,its safe to flash to any G3 or G4 phone.
But what about you said it boots up to splash screen with a 'Beer Mug' on it,coz only Button's Rom splash screen displays a Beer Mug on it.

i'm certain this is what i flashed...and it was a beer mug(at least half of it) now it doesn't do anything...after i removed the battery it died
Could it be the battery?????

Strange !!!
A Radio Rom never flashes any splash screen and it never displays any splash screen,especially a Beer Mug splash screen,you must have been mistaken and downloaded and flashed the Button's Rom 1,05,which has G3 IPL/SPL in it,and now its Bricked,nothing can be done with it to revive,except replacement of the 'DOC Chip' (M-System Flash Chip),which I'm afraid is not possible by anybody other then the manufacturer/vendor of the device.

just found out that in the directory named T-Mobile_UK_2.19.11_Radinly was CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE....did i brick it?...and how much would it cost to change that chip?...any place i could order another motherboard? maybe it's another way to do it...maybe someone does know how to use JTAG...give me some advice please...

YUP !!! there it is,I was correct, its Button's Rom 1.05.
Well,yes ! its "BRICKED"
Only,manufacturer/vendor can provide you the motherboard or tell you the exact cost of it,or you can try the Ebay if they have it or can provide it.
Secondly,its still not known or if anyone can revive it through 'JTAG' ,guys here have been working on it,but were not successful and stopped trying it,you can have further info on it by checking out this link or 'Search' through google.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274766

one more question and that's all...will the orange service or repair center notice that i've been "playing" with the device?maybe with a little luck they will replace it..or replace the motherboard :-S...thank you o much for helping

well....to all the readers of this post...i didn't manage to revive it through any method and decided to send it to the provider repair center...i have sent a message to caesar54 who managed to revive his wizard using jtag and waiting for a reply....IMPORTANT : DO NOT FLASH YOUR G4 DEVICE WITH A G3 ROM IT WILL BRICK YOUR PDA (I JUST FOUD OUT THE HARD WAY) SO REMEMBER..IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING....DONT DO IT...i will post updates on what i have done with mine if someone intersted...

Wish you a very goodluck there ! hope you get it working

thank you very much zabardast....i went to the orange shop where i was instructed by someone "high ranked" and someone over there told me that they have a tool that writes software even when the phone is dead...probably through a service cable or something...they said it would be back in 2 weeks maximum...and i will be informed of the price of the repair wich i will post (including my decision) anyway agan "DO NOT FLASH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING"...hope it will get it back after 1 week functionally and cheap...i will search other forums and find posible solutions that i will post...till' then...good luck and work safe

until my phone comes back repaired or not i'm searching for an alternative...does anyone have a wizarrd to sell?preferably a broken one...broken display or something...but with the mainboard intact?

hello xardas_90
i have a recently bricked wizard (xda mini s)
now we are working on finding the jtag test points on the main board to reflash the
bricked 1 , so i am glad if u join us in thread (( Dead WIZARD Never! Let's REVIVE ))
to share info.s and to reach our goal . please join us

well when the board comes back be sure i'll help...but there would be another soluution...we could find a site or store that sell DOC chips...the rest is simple...we just need that chip...i'll search other forums for wizard jatg points...i really like your initiative...

There Is Hope
1.Se poate scrie bootloader prin JTAG
2.Nu exista nici un DOC cip.

HELP!boot loader doomed on my dopod 818pro

Guys, I'm frustrated now. I've refreshed the ROM of my G4 version of Dopod 818pro (2.15.0001 or something I just can't remember). Unfortunately it fails and I cannot even turn the power on. My WinCE colleague told me that the Boot Loader was damaged. I am now seeking for some place to re-program the chip and hope if someone can provide me boot loader program. I really appreciate your guys help!!!
Are your Bootloader Realy damage? You mean you cant enter it? Or you havent Power to start your Device?
SD Flashing doesnt work without Bootloader!!
JTAG Flashing (hardware nearest Flashing!!) isnt developed for G4 Plattform. (i think so ... look in the Wizard board ... they talk about JTAG flashing and Wizard G4 must simulare like Prophet G4!!)
the bootloader really damaged, I cannot enter the three stripe screen by holding CAM, PWR button and hit reset hole. Do you mean that I even cannot use JTag to burn the chip???
I do have two fully charged batteries. But it should not be a problem of battery, I tried to connect it to charger but it gives no response, no LED
Using JTAG to revive a wizard is either a myth, or an undiscovered secret. If you cant get into bootloader, your chances of reviving your device are slim.
JTAG isnt a secret ... its more like ... hardware knowlage. If you know what IC is your ROM. You can found over the IC Spec the right Pins for JTAG Programming. If i can get a G4 S200, i can try my best.
yes, I know that using Jtag to rewrite boot loader is complex, but it seems like it's my last chance. NetrunnerAT I really appreciate your help but I'm in Shanghai, China so I have to find someone locally who can help me with that. Wish me good luck and I'll keep you guys updated about the result
If I can find someone who can help Jtag my phone, where can I find the correct bootloader program for my cell? is it downloadable?
guys, I finally found a place to revive my prophet. However, they don't know how to jtag it either, neither do they have a programer to rewrite the chip because they say the programer is very very very expensive. They just changed the old chip with one which has correct ROM and now my G4 Prophet turns to a G3 one...anyway, I can use it now.
Thx!
You have change your rom and it is now G3!!
Can you say me what IC they have exchange! If i know it ... and get a damage device, its possible to found a solution for all Prophet users!
No problem, I kept the damaged IC at home, I'll check the model No. and will let you know
er... One more question, I want to dump the current ROM to my SD card, however the wiki doc says it needs to unlock G3 first. But another doc also says unlocking G3 will downgrade my OS to 1.0.13.21. It's like a kind of deadlock, can I just unlock G3 without changing OS?
uhm ... i think you must downgrade your OS first to CID unlock ... after that you can upgrade to your rom and make SD-Dump!
ok, then that is to say i'll never be able to get a backup of the ROM I currently have.
I'll wait for some weeks and will try to "torture" my prophet again. It was just fixed and I'm supposed to "rest" it for some days, but sooner or later it'll be unlocked, hey heyhey....
Hi, I'm back, the chip is a "M-System MD8832-d16-v3-xp" with a clearly name "Disk On Chip" on it, hope this can help you locate the chip
http://www.m-systems.com/NR/rdonlyr.../0/EOL_DOC_G3_P3.pdf|EOL_DiskOnChip_G3_P3.pdf
Cool ... i read some PDFs ... this is are very nice entry in the PDF!
Compatibility Issues
The recommended replacement, DiskOnChip G4 1Gb/2Gb 9x12mm FBGA, and H1 2Gb
12x18mm FBGA are ball to ball compatible with DiskOnChip G3/P3 7x10mm, 9x10mm FBGA
products that are being discontinued. It is necessary to upgrade software based on TrueFFS 6.2.x
to TrueFFS 6.3.2 and above when upgrading to DiskOnChip G4.
If the different betwen G3 and G4 is the TrueFFS Driver and the G4/H1 is Pin Conpatibel ... possible if i get a half damage device i try to solder a H1 DOC on the PBC and reformat it.
[edit]Holly ****! THX i have found the Migration Document with JTAG Pins!!!
http://www.m-systems.com/NR/rdonlyr...MigrationGuideDOC_G4_1Gb_to_H3_1Gb_Rev0.2.pdf
how are you going to access the pins on a FBGA?

you dont. you take a bricked one, de-solder it, and manually trace them to somewhere on the motherboard using a multimeter.
can any body help me with a jtag points for a g4 wizard doomed with a incorrect ipl
Give me a damage Wizard board and i say the JTAG Pins! G4 and G3 have the same JTAG Pins.
I search for a damage Prophet to but i doesnt want pay over 80€ for a community project without any payment. It some on give me a wizard or prophet Board ... i desolder the IC ... search for JTAG Pins ... and reflash it ... send it back but working :->
the device doesnt damage if i resolder the DOC ... i have the right soldering mashine.
NetrunnerAT
Where you saw on DOC points jtag ?
You need the signals TDO TCK TMS TRST TDI.
DOC only memory and there no these signal.
What jtag you will use? And no program for flash DOC through jtag - see about Universal jtag.

Indeed, dead......sorry....
Yep same happened to my C550 and sorry it can't be fixed.. i think that something is wrong with the Patched RUU with SPL .. but no one in here listens..
Something wrong indeed: Wrong phone.
I'm very sorry, but flashing always means jeopardizing the phone, especially if you're making mistakes. This is almost like surgery.
In the olden times, prior to the smart devices, there were some back doors, test points [*] and things like that. But I have never heard of those in the HTC context.
My proposal: Put the bricks on eBay and don't shed tears.
cu,
Dirk
[*] My mum still uses a Siemens M55 on which I had to cut deep into the circuit board, at a spot that is smaller than a millimetre in diameter, to destroy a circuit for setting the test point. I can still remember how I sweated and trembled. These were real hardware bricking opportunities, real surgery.
In spv-developer-forum someone wrote, he has luck flashing back the dead 550 to wm2003 with factory flashing tool.

can i send my phone to service centre ?
or go to shop and get it replace because it is only 2 day old
i've heared that sony people are doing servicing of htc and they are authorized service centers.
you can surely try to catch them and tell them you messed up with the phone and need recovery and i think they will be able to solve your issue with some money they charge.
hope this helps.

try pressing power key and camera button and press soft reset using stylus when you get into the boot loader try to flash with the stock ROM. Make sure that your SPL is changed to normal from orefklovs ... if the SPL is changed they will tell you that the warranty is void now. i got my board replaced after i flash with the stock ROM. which state are you living in? I think somebody has introduced an unbricker try that also..... my advice is dont do anything in excitement..... please study and research everything after that apply it in the phone....... gudluck.....
no man i try it but it not showing bootloader i think ipl is also damage
