There are 2 types of radios, 1 for CDMA (Americas) and 1 for GSM (rest of world) if you chose the wrong one, BAD TIMES..... but you should really have researched before flashing
oke its official! i will never root another android mob again!!!!!!!!!
my hero was bricked well now my g1 is to !!!
2 mobiles on one night!!
i think god is trying to ruin me
but i will send my hero to htc for repair thats 50 bucks
and my g1 wil be sold for parts so thats the story or if any one have a salution please say so
The hero is almost impossible to brick fully so if you have done it twice in one night then you are seriously doing something wrong.
Tell us exactly what you have done and we might be able to help you.
... and so the rest of us know what NOT to do?.....

Try flashing a stock rom... it alsways seems to work for me...
after that you can always reroot your phone..
Ps. is you phone still rootet?
If so you can enable usb-ms toggle and put a different radio on you sd, and flash from there??
he can't flash anything anymore since he didn't even know what he did
he ****ed up his hero with a probably not for gsm phone radio
Any Body Recomend a good repair Place i have Bricked my Hero after flashing radio

Guys, this is the DEVELOPMENT section, not the Q & A!
i'm just getting tired of people posting in development. why can't people use the right sections!!!
as for your help, try download the RUU file from htc's suport. if you have sync'd your phone with htc sync before, try running the ruu file and see if it boots into fastboot and tries re-flash your phone to factory settings

I was flashing my Vibrant back to the stock ROM using ODIN, and I had the re-partition checked off... and I think this is what killed my vibrant. If I click the power button it doesn't do anything. It has a full battery and even with it on the charger... still nothing. I can't see anything on the screen. What are my options to fix my Vibrant?

not a single button is working, either JIG i have it, what can i do?
Sorry to disappoint you; it seems that you are out of luck. I was flashing my Vibrant in the similar situation like yours and my phone has never turned on again since then (6 weeks). I live in Thailand and have been searching both English and Thai version for a solution. None comes up so far. The only way the USB jig will help is your phone can be powered up. I have tried that myself. You can look for the confirmation elsewhere in this forum. Any way if you can find a diy solution, please let me know and I will post it here if I can find one myself. Thanks!

@OP
Do one of these 2 things:
1) build a JIG costs around 10$ a bit more or a bit less. but no over than 15$
(search JIG for vibrant on youtube by mobiletechvideos)
2) Send it to tmobile.
I hard bricked my phone 4 days ago.
I called them, and their sending in a replacement, and i send them mine and im done.

Your first option is out because I have tried that. The only option left is the second one. since I live in Thailand, I have to ship the phone to my friend in Los Angeles to have him replace it for me. It is costly, but at least I will get a phone to work.
It seems to me that this issue is a special case that doesn't happen very often. Only the chosen ones will get into trouble like this when making an error here and there while flashing rom.
I had an IPhone 3G before and, of course, I made mistakes while updating it with all kinds of firmware, but the hardware never fails on me no matter what I did.
Thanks all who try to help.

Just because he put hard bricked in the title means little. It was his first post. He very well could be a aviid user. All I could go by is he said he hit power and nothing happend thats about all he said over and over. No battery pull 3 button try. So what I did was try to help thats it. I did not suggest anything to make matters worse. A lot of ppl thought their phones were "hard bricked" but they got it to come out of it. Just because your more of a wiz then most ppl here. I would appreciate if you would get off my back a bit for I was just trying to help.

I'm not getting on your back, why is it you think so?
Most of the users as i've encountered don't have the sense to name their threads appropriately, the OP on this one specifically named it HARD BRICKED, so instead of telling him to do all these instructions, you could've asked 1 thing "when you plug your usb, or wall charger, does it show any lights? or Are there any symbols on the screen? any lights glowing?"
Those 2 questions could've saved him, and you time.
Trust me i'm a beginner as well, i just know how to get out of these because i've been with this problem a few times. Alot of people here know more than me, specifically s15.. idk his full name.
Ok guys, yes...I'm a noob...
I did a master reset on the phone and now I get nothing...
It won't turn on unless I plug it in to the charger.
When it does turn on, all I get is a few vibrations, and
the icons at the bottom light up.
I can get windows to see the two "drives" of the phone,
but they are empty (have 0 bytes if you right click and check properties. If you left click, it says please insert disc).
I've tried a new battery and my battery turns another phone on...
I've also tried two cables and two PCs.
It hasn't been rooted or messed with, the battery died and I went to charge
it and nothing...I left it on charge overnight and at least see a bit life.
Any ideas, or should I just send it on to HTC??
So that others have a better idea... can you get into hboot or fastboot?

he said he already tried a new charged battery, so it can't be that. I'm thinking his phone's OS might be gone so he should probably installed a RUU or something.

no idea what mode it's in, hboot, fastboot or anything ??!?!!

There isn't a way if your phone isn't detected or you can't get into hboot. Meaning you have no control over your phone to do anything.
Anyways, for htc warranty exchanges that is done with tmobile... they usually send you the phone first and then you send one back in return. Unless your policy is different. So i suggest you calling them immediately.
Update
I can go into control panel and "see" the phone listed in device manager under portable devices as "F" and "G". Click properties and they are found as HTC devices. Does this mean I can do anything to it? I just want my phone back working as fast as I can. Sending it in will take a while. I bought this phone for the camera. We have a 1 yr old and don't wanna miss the Christmas pics...

are you on tmobile? they usually send within 2 days, their distribution center is in texas or something. I usually get it next day.
You said your screen doesn't turn on or doesn't show anything. It's gonna be hard to determine what you're doing even if you can run ADB to put it in oem fastboot and to flash a RUU that way. But it sounds like your display might be a problem too then. It'll be quicker to do an exchange. If you call in today, they'll probably ship it on monday and you'll get it wednesday latest. unless you have tmobile insurance plan. it should be next day and you'll get it tuesday.
Thanks
Well that might work for me then...can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks a bunch for letting me know !!!
No problem, I had my fair share dealing with tmobile exchanges lol.
If you purchased directly from tmobile it should be very easy to do an exchange because your warranty is verified.
If you bought it off craigslist/ebay. sometimes the previous users used a different carriers that makes the warranty no longer verified. HOWEVER many customer reps will still try to process the exchange (you can determine by their upbeat personalities lol).
If you run into someone who won't do it, just call again and talk to another rep. Most of the time they will push it through because it's still a newly released phone.
Have you already contacted T-Mobile support? You'll have to talk to them anyway before they agree to replace your phone.
The reason I am asking this is because there might be an unpublished backdoor way to restore your device if your device is not completely (hardware-wise) dead. For example, Dell Streak has a complete firmware image on its internal SD card and you needed to somehow trigger an IPL routine to restore the device to its original condition.
I haven't heard of anything similar on HTC devices yet, but hey, it's just a thought. And if there actually is a way, and you are the first one to post it here, you'll be a hero!

yeah we normally just flash a RUU, but you can't even see the screen, so we can't even be certain that we're in the correct modes to be flashing and stuff. because we require to ADB it to restart in fastboot, but we can't even see if its going to fastboot. or if it already is in fastboot to begin with, so we're not certain which commands to run with the screen being off. Well you can always try commands and it should only work in certain modes, but do you really want to do it blindly? I would rather just exchange the thing.
Not afraid to try....
Well, I can't use it as it is...exchange is a hassle even in 2-3 days. Can't do anything until tomorrow anyway. I was thinking today, I've heard they can port Android to iPhone...there's no fastboot there, is there ??? Soooooo, if it's turning on, I should be able to do something...I want my phone back !!!

Flashing green light ???
It is now turning on and has a flashing green light, does that mean anything??
Hi Everybody!
I need some help. My friend flashed the sprint's rom to his Hero, since the phone doesn't boots, when he turns on it vibrates five time and thats all.
Anybody has a suggestion? i don't know how he flashed the wrong rom...
Thanks!
Vibrate 5 times means it did not reach secondary boot loader and that it's in the ARM9 bootloader which is the first bootloader of the phone. That phone is hard bricked. Only way to revive that phone is JTAG and that requres hardware modding and obtaining a lot of hardware to flash it. I'd say it's not worth it, it doesnt show anything on the screen right ? Just to make sure try to take out the battery, plug it back in press POWER + VOL-DOWN if it gets into HBoot then we can do something, if it doesnt then read the first part of the post again The sprint flash probably flashed the HBoot and the radio from the sprint phone which killed it...

Does the small led come on when plugged into a charger? Have you tried to hold down the volume down button and power button down at the same time to access the bootloader, also please specify if your phone is gsm or cdma.

Looks like your friend hoodwinked you bro. It sounds like he gave you a bricked phone. Unfortunately if your not able to access bootloader then its a paper weight now.

As I have said, you need to be able to boot into bootloader mode to flash firmware. Whoever sold you that phone didn't tell you he hard bricked the phone in the process. The hboot had to have gottened corrupted. That's why you can't turn it on.

Here's a tutorial that you might find useful in helping you set up adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751439.
Now do not take this the wrong way, you should listen to what I'm telling about your phone instead of ignoring me and trying to prove me wrong. Especially since I'm educating you on adb. I gave you that link so I dont have to explain how to set adb up. You have to be able to access bootloader, recovery or have phone completely on to run adb. In the end you will realize what I have told you. The person who sold it to you screwed you over. Your phone is completely bricked. Truly bricked. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm always open to learn new things.
I would definitely concur with Jsparta26, you unfortunately bought your phone from a unscrupulous, deceitful azz wipe.

I read your problem and read through the other suggestions, It does sound bricked but have you tried a different battery?, I had a battery one time that once it went completly dead the phone would not charge it, I had to charge it though an external charger, once it had some juice in it it would charge fine with the phone. All i am saying is make sure it is not something as simple as a bad battery before you decide to use it as a paperweight. If you do get it to turn on, let me know and I can help you get it working again.

I read your problem and read through the other suggestions, It does sound bricked but have you tried a different battery?, I had a battery one time that once it went completly dead the phone would not charge it, I had to charge it though an external charger, once it had some juice in it it would charge fine with the phone. All i am saying is make sure it is not something as simple as a bad battery before you decide to use it as a paperweight. If you do get it to turn on, let me know and I can help you get it working again.[/
God I'm catching one of my migraines again ugh
Edit: my bad I guess you read the posts. He wouldn't need anymore help seeing how his main concern was getting his phone turned on.

Thanks everyone wholeheartedly! i was abale to pay a guy 40 bucks to fix it using his jtag Apparentely he only had to rewrite the boot.
So for everyone having the same problem, JTag is your solution nothing else
Juste a small question, i have viper 3d rom on it and i was wondering is it the best ?

Its like I said. Your hboot was corrupted. That's great you got your phone booted back up.
Now as for viper 3d there's no "best" ROM. Its a subjective topic so its basically not allowed. I can tell you its very stable, has lots of tweaks, and highly customizable. Only thing is that is doesn't have 4g or 3d. And it works on any hboot.

here we go again! the phone is rebooting periodically now... wth do i do? as for viper , i want a rom that has 3d and is as good as viper, thank u!
The only roms with fully working 3d camera are sense 3.6 roms
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
brick fixable
I had the same thing going on w/my phone. Problem was: the hboot was corrupted.. The only way to fix this is with linux.. I don't recall the exact files or command that I ran but if you search you will find them and it will bring your phone back to life.. NOTE: every thread i found had old information with older hboots which have different filenames.. Once you find the information on how to fix your hboot aka "brick" you simply need to get your exact hboot file and replace (flash) it through linux.. there is even an ubuntu cd you can download and boot into so that you don't have to install Linux.. I'd give you more info, but I'm at work right now and don't have time to research it. Good luck..!!

I just bought an HTC 3D evo off craigslist, the seller said that he loaded the wrong ROM into it, he had android 4.0, tried to upgrade to 4.1.
I don't know if it is rooted or not, doesn't turn on at all (nothing happens, light, vibration, etc), i tried removing-the-battery trick, didn't work. I just want to load a new ROM into it so i can get it working again..
How do i do that?
Thanks.

today i have a problem with my evo. i loss my phone in my car, and at night was frost, - 20 C.
half of day phone dosnt power on. my first opinion was that the battery died, but when i measured voltage, i see 3.75V, thats normal for X-Polimer Battery. after i Inserting the battery at her place, and press power button, phone turn on
i dont know, may be i had to remove the battery for a long time, or during this time dry condensate, after frost.

try conecting the device to a linux pc and see if fastboot or anything works, or if the partitions mount
Did he by any chance swap partitions like say from ROM manager or a similar app etc. ?
