LOL, UltraMag69 I thought I WAS helping. I can write "Read the Wiki" as often as he can write that he's stuck on the tricolor screen. My advice is correct, and as soon as he takes it, he'll have a chance to get his device out of the bootloader.
Heck, it's not like I flamed him or anything. Considering his persistence at starting new threads (and ignoring advice-given), I think I'm exhibiting the patience of an angel, don't you?
Ahhh, OK, I'll give him another hint ... try THIS LINK. Warning, though, it leads to a page in the WiKi, so maybe you don't want to even go there
Best regards,

Can anyone tell me where to take the mtty.exe with USB ?
Thx in advance
Er.... your question does not make a whole lot of sense??
MTTY.exe stays on the PC, it is not trasnferred to the phone.
Suggest you re-read the wiki.

I've always thought taking mtty.exe to a nice restaurant would be a good first date. mtty.exe gets around though, so, you'll need to make sure you have protection. I recommend having a spare floppy (disk) around to keep you safe..
nice answer
Sorry about the wrong question.
I have mtty version 1.42 already but it failed to connect USB device. So I want to ask if there's any update version with USB support.
Thanks

I like pretty flowers that smell nice, could you please read the wiki on the proper version of MTTY to use. Thank you
Hey Legolas, I mean no offense to you and I know that it can be frustrating that people don't take a closer look at the wiki and forums, but it seems you've been getting extremely rude to anyone that doesn't ask an informed question. I don't mean just you either. There's been a few lately that have just been flaming people at the first opportunity. I'm not trying to be judgemental, but if we can't all keep this site civil, then we're going to lose both new and old members, many of whom do contribute a lot or might in the future.
I have read some really "interesting" questions that people ask and there have been a couple occasions where I haven't been completely nice about the answer either. But, we have to stay on track to keep this site, not just productive, but enjoyable too. If the site just becomes offensive and no fun at all, then what's the point? Maybe we should just put in a stock answer for questions like the one in this thread like "Read the wiki" and just leave it at that. Maybe that'll work, maybe it won't. I don't know.
But, I do know that we should be above name calling. The site has a good rep as a place to go for development and help, let's keep it that way.
At any rate, you're a cool guy that (like many here) have helped a lot of people out of a jam with their toys. Keep up the good work and... "stay on target".

It's strange, AFAIK the "latest" MTTY version is v1.16 (but, when you click "About" the version shown is v1.11a). I've attached this version to this post.
Make sure that when you use it you have deactivated AciveSync (uncheck "Allow USB connections" y "Connection settings").

cannot agree with you any more. I prefer a civil rather than helpful forum if cannot have both. many people here are friendly and helpful like Pof etc. but some are not.

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.
I'm about to get an 8525. What are some recommended ROMS? I'm interested in getting that slide to unlock feature, and the Cube thing. These are the only 2 that I know. Are there any other ROMS I would probably enjoy? I also want a ROM that can support 4gb.
How about fixes/enhancements to the 8525? I have heard of a fix so that every time you close an app, the app exits and closes, rather than having it run in the memory.
Like I said, I'm new to this, so I'm just asking for some recommendations/advice from experienced users. Just point me in the right direction. Thanks.
i will give a piece of advise everyone tells newbies, read the wiki, read the stickies. no one here is going to spoonfeed you. as for rom recommendations, there is NO "best rom". everyone has their own preferences. just search for any thread asking for rom recommendations and you will see that each and everyone of them have many, many different responses. for the cube, you dont have to get a rom with one built in, you can always install it. here's a link from the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Cube
for closing programs......there a tons and tons of apps that will do that for you. htc x-button, magic button, quickmenu, etc. the list just goes on.
i was in your position probably about 6 months ago....
check out these links, they will tell you everything you need to know:

fyi, those are good recommendation options...but keep in mind that the "ROM" Option thread post #1 has not been updated since 1/28/08. There has been many new cooked roms since then!
Hey thanks a lot aga080 and galaxys! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! That's all I was looking for.
And LOL!!! "no one here is going to spoonfeed you" umm yea.. whatever.
Like I said, I just needed to be pointed in the right direction.
Just remember to Hard SPL your Hermes first. Its written all over the forum BUT people STILL dont seem to do it... Welcome to the Craze...... And remember, when all friends and your loved ones shun you because you are forever flashing/upgrading, We'll still be here......... Scary, huh... Cheers..
hello everyone...

Hello All,
I was directed to this site by my "Verizon guy". I have a new xv6800. Dudes/dudettes, this phone is awesome. I was told that you could upgrade to different software and the phone would actually close apps, use less battery, have louder soundes, etc. I was told to look fo Dutty's Rom, but I guess this doesn't exist for this phone yet. I was wondering a few things. One could someone spend the time to "hold my hand" and walk me through upgrading...two reasons. One I don't want to kill my phone and two from reading other posts, it seems like you all are very knowledgeable. I may be able to offer money if this would motivate someone. (I know it may take time and effort). I have been using google and other threads to try and install bootloaders, etc but with no luck. I hope that someone is willing to help. This thread would also become a good step-by-step guide for all noobs.
Thank You All in Advance

Here are your instructions:
1. Look at the top of this page and click "Titan Upgrading etc"
2. Click on the very first thread that says "NEED HELP??? NEW??? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting"
That's it.

Without the fundamental knowledge you will tank your phone. The questions you ask before you read are on a different level than those after you finish the wiki.
You may have a slightly different situation that may not be correctly answered by the first person that responds to your thread.
Read and then ask and we will be there for you.
After many months of lurking around these forums in an on-again, off-again attempt to unbrick a HERM100 AT&T 8525 that I had bricked while flashing a custom OS (known to most of you as the TyTN or Hermes, apparently), success was had. In the end, all I had to do was put the phone in bootloader mode and re-flash the original WM6 ROM, but I learned more than just how to fix my own mistakes:
1) William of Ockham was certainly onto something way back when he warned everyone to keep it simple. It was only AFTER fooling around with the "KITL + PB" nonsense and reading up on how to mess with the guts of the phone did I try to stick the damn thing in bootloader mode and try to re-flash the manufacturer's ROM. TO ANYONE ELSE TRYING TO UNBRICK THEIR HERMES - TRY THIS FIRST!
2) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! There were some steps I uncovered after the fact that could have prevented the issue had I known about and taken them beforehand. This mistake won't be repeated, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to the posters who took the time to discover and document these preventative measures (like Hard SPL 7).
3) While most of the posters on this forum are pretty helpful, some of you are just outright jerks. This comment is directed at those few individuals:
Not everyone who tries to "help themselves" by actively trying to find a solution to their problems is a tech-nerd like you. Yes, there's a strong possibility that maybe, just maybe, individuals like me don't have any clue WTF your techno-babble means, and responding with arrogant quips that have "Use forum search" as the meat of your reply isn't going to help decipher that any faster.
So, on behalf of future individuals who may come across the XDA forums in search of a solution to whatever mistake they made with their PDA, I have a request to make of these few individuals who post "down their noses", so to speak:
* Remember, we're not all tech-savvy;
* If you can't make a polite contribution, don't contribute at all;
* ...and finally, karma can be a pain in the butt. The person you belittle now may be someone whose help YOU need later on in life.
Now, if you'll excuse me... I'm going to go screw up my phone again. Sincere thanks to the XDA community for the best Hermes/TyTN documentation on the 'Net!
Very well said =)

Well now you've got HardSPL that shouldn't so easy to do. Also use the SDCard method and then it's virtually iimpossible.
I presume you didn't find the Unbrick Talble done by Pof. I do believe that it would have given you the same solution that you stumbled across.
