Bricked w/Rom Update? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody and thanks for any help in advance. A short run-down: I did HSPL3 for my Tmobile HD2 which worked flawlessly. Then I attempted to flash Energy Maxsense UI. I didnt need any radio due to my phone being Tmobile. I did check the radio version to be safe, but it was correct.
Well during the installation (1% progress) I got up to get some water and the swivel chair in my office knocked the phone to the ground and un-hooked the USB connection.
Now the phone is not turning on or responding in any way. The uploader program had recovery steps, but there was no option for when the phone is completely unresponsive. I tried running bootloader. Taking the battery out for 3 seconds. Connecting it VIA USB for actuvesync, but obviously that wouldnt work. Ive read posts, but havent found specific to my situation (YET, Im still looking).
This things bricked isnt it? Uggghhh... I just paid 140 to get the screen replaced too which doesnt make me feel any better. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Ok well, the battery contacts werent in line. So now the phone says "Softwarwe update failed! Please try again" Im sure somebody has had this problem so Ill look for an answer using the SEARCH feature. I know.... youre proud.

Ahhhh Please Help! Bricked i think ??

Help I updated my radio for vilain rom 10 and i thought something was wrong when i saw the phone and the box so i pulled out my battery and it wont turn on
That picture i normal when you flash a radio.
Never pull out the battery at that state. I Think its bricked
Yes sorry it's bricked
Sorry to hear, If you can get the phone to give you any sort of life then it is not bricked, just on vacation.
But if not you could always put your phone to good use.
Sorry i could'nt resist.

Well if you ever come beck then try this. If you haven't already installed the drivers for your phone onto your computer do it now. Plug your phone into your your computer do you get a light or try to plug it into charger if you get a light it's not bricked. What you want to do if it's not bricked is run a ruu on it.
No Light :'(
Would htc cover this and send a replacment or will i need to buy a new phone ?
Telling them you tried using custom ROMs wouldn't get a repair,... You could say you were just doing a "restore to factory settings" and your battery died. Its worth a try.
Okay thAnks i migjt try and say it ran out of battery updating to the new 2.1 because personaly i think its slughtly mire belivable what do you think, also just in case i was looking for new android phines kind of off topic here but has anyone seen the samsung beam i mean wow its a projector shame i hate the ui and xda doesnt have it
Oh also i forgot is there anything to unbrick it , like a pandoras battery and magic mem stick ( dw if youvdont know what it is.but it csn be used to unbrick a psp and works even though i went through six psp s in a year lol
Yes say that once it is officially released for your region.
You could check the dream and magic forums to see if they ever recover any bricked handsets?

Okaaay sooo some people have unbrcked thier magics with jtags and be able to get it working again , but cant find any tut or anybody who has done it on a hero , , but i have seen somepeople say take the battery out and leave it for 24 hours
don't see how it will help but it's worth a try

Found this but i gues i will have to wait for a tut :sigh:
Bump ?
Htc will fix it or send a new phone within 7-12 days

[Q] HELP!!!!! my phone is not powering on!

ok. i flashed the hyperrom ultra v15.0 to my tmobile us hd2 and decided i wanted to flash a new radio.. just to see if i was missing the speed and agility that i hear about so much from others. i started off with a 2.10.50.26 i believe. then flashed the 2.08.50.05 with much slower speed than the original. THEN, i flashed the 2.07.51.22_2 and my phone has not powered up since. it will not go into bootloader and when the update util was done, my laptop said it needed to install a new hardware driver for qualcomm cdma. now i now this is bad. but could someone explain why it did this and why my phone isnt powering on and if ill ever be able to use it again??!!?!?! any help would be appreciated.
That sounds Bad ...
Sorry pal, you have a serious problem. The .51 radio is the culprit. I'm afraid you will have to search this out, but I am unaware of any solutions.
Good luck. Warranty?

Why do people not read, you CANNOT FLASH A .51 RADIO ON A T-MOBILE DEVICE. LEARN TO READ AND THIS WON'T HAPPEN.

Try searching for Jtag or .51 radio brick. And maybe post in this thread
warranty will be ok so long as you dont mention flashing.

How Cute
You flashed a 2.07.51 radio ! ! !
Take your phone back for warranty and never flash a .51 radio again as every one else saying...
Good luck with it.
ok. lol. so its abrick. ill search a little more butthe strange thing is, when i plug it in via usb to my comp it still shows that its searching for new hardware.. i dont think its a total loss. i have the odd feeling i can revive it. but in any case, how do i turn it in for a warranty and what would i say? lol.

You say. I don't know what happen. I was charging it over night...and when I work up it was off. I turn it on and nothing happens.
what i meant to say is, im guessing i turn it into htc for the warranty, but other then flash custm roms and different radios, what other excuse would they take? i mean, they have ways of finding out right?
Maybe HELP YOU

I don't know if I can help you But you can enter in bootloader mode and via usb cable connect to your computer? If you can...and have Bepe&Cotulla HARDSPL3... Do a Task29 and when near 100% push volume down to stay in bootloader mode... then... Flash a radio 50 (my sig have a link to my current radio)... and without exit bootloader mode (when near 100% push volume down) Flash a ROM you want in your device...
Sorry... I only try help you... maybe don't have luck or... many luck

no. it will not enter bootloader or anything. wont connect via activesync nothing. tried a hard reset, soft reset. every type of reset. nothing works. tried bootloader and.. NOTHING!!!! ah.. but its bugging me out that its trying to install new device driver. i feel like i can fix it... if christ was real i would pray to him!!!!
if you read the dozens of other people that did this, you will see they all say the pc looks for drivers for "qualcomm blah blah blah". don't kid yourself, its gone.

Simple: The .51 radio raped your TMOUS's internals. It will never work again. Play dumb with the warranty people.
haaahha! so i called the warranty people and told them it was dead. asked a few questions, specifically: "what voids the warranty and why would i be charged for any repairs?" i got a number of answers including, "flashing a new os, rom or radio." hahahaha!!! so essentially, im f**ked, right? i mean this is htc, how could they not find out?
so ive read part of three threads where everyone is stating that as long as they cannot get it to go into bootloader, they cannot charge me and theyll repair my phone or send me a new one. though i am worried that i havent read anything about any phones coming back to the peoples having this problem.. i dont have insurance through tmobile so im assuming i cant send it back to them, i am however still under the year manufacturers warranty provided by htc. does it matter who i send it to? and has anyone had experience with this particular problem that can acclaim to or deny me the assurance of me getting my phone back? lol.
Do not lie, as that could bite you in ways you don't want to deal with; as in fraud, etc. Our phones are around $550, a retainer for an Attorney to defend you against criminal charges would be a lot more.
I would go into tmobile, and when you go into store you simply tell them the truth that the phone doesn't work.
Definitely a drag that you bricked the phone. Could have been me, probably will be someday when I get too eager or careless.
Anyhow, let us know what happens.

well for a start this is the regular hd2 section, have you read any of the posts in the tmous section? (Well, no, else you would have seen the myrriad warnings about flashing ..51.. radios )
Loads of people have had them repaired after this type of brick, and the only people that haven't have been those that confessed to flashing.
And no, just because it is HTC, they cant see into a broken bootloader. The best they can do is JTAG the phone, and that flashes a new bootloader anyway, wiping out any trace of what you did.

Bricked SGS2? Thank you samsung...

I'm a brand new owner of a SGS2... So i installed kies tonight... and WAHEY! it told me there was a firmware update... I update as it tells me and it gets stuck for about 30 minutes... at this point i don't know WHAT to do and unplug it... there it is bent beyond recognition. nothing will work. I tried using ODIN to reflash it, tried reflashing the kernel but everything gets stuck and it won't budge... Have i bricked my sgs2 after only 3 days of usage? should i bring it back to samsung? someone please help me cos i'm pretty desperate...

Kies is the devil mate, samsung has made a brick machine here... I only ever use Odin and NOTHING else!!!
If it turns on its not bricked, the only way to possibly rectify this is to actually use kies again;( Try using the emergency recovery flash, if this fails it looks like its an RMA;(((
KIES IS JUST DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS!
What do you mean by RMA? Kies fails to find any device under emergency recovery... Odin has only gone as far as Factoryfs.img. That's as far as it's ever gone. usually gets stuck at cache,img. really desperate here and not going to sleep...

OK it seems like something in your phone had become corrupted by the rouge kies flash, if odin cant flash a new rom, it looks like you could have a big problem...;((

Well if you can get into download mode, not to fret. When you try and flash through ODIN, if it fails even once you will need to shut down the phone by pressing power button. Then unplug the usb cable, go into download mode and try again. I used to have the problem with my captivate - if it fails once, you need to restart into download mode again otherwise it will keep failing and failing. Most likely not an RMA - I have done this many times. Not on my SGS2 yet but previous sammy phones
If you still have problems, try another USB slot. Then try another PC if absolutely necessary.

If i could hug you all i would i swear. I think i'm going to hang around here more often than i would have if nothing happened. You guys deserve me lurking around more ehehe.
God i feel so relieved... thanks so much again.
Yeah no problem mate. I am not going to say its impossible, but bricking an SGS2 can be fairly difficult. I just wanted to share what I learned about 6 months ago when I thought I bricked my Captivate I kept trying to flash while still in download mode when it just needed to be reset
Oh and my very first post on XDA was the same relief when I found a post that showed me how to fix. lol

Yes the sgs2 works perfectly on the Rogers network. I didn't even have to enter APN settings and hspa+ works too. I bought mine from expansys.ca and altogether was around 800 with taxes and shipping. However I think handtec in the UK is cheaper now. You may have to pay duties but should still be cheaper

i777 not turning on, please help

Hi people, I have a i777 but the phone does not turn on at all, what happens is that it will turn the screen on when you plug it in, show the battery image for less then a second and do that 2-3 times before it just stays blank. computer doesnt recognize it or do anything when pluged to it.
Left it plugged in to charge and the phone got very hot. I have not attempted anything with the phone its not even rooted, just stopped working.
Please if any one has any tips or anything that can assist I would really appreciate it.
When did you buy it?
Did you try a battery pull, wait a bit, then put it back and connect the charger without turning it on.

Yea but first it would be good to remove any personal things and backup what you can before doing so.
Have you tried getting into recovery or download mode.

Hey guys sry for reviving this thread its just ive been reading and its driving me kinda crazy. ( i miss my Palm !!!)
So i figured out somethings about the phone, It does go into bootloader mode only if i take out the battery and plug it in, with battery it does nothing at all.
Theres so much info about roms and all this other things i cant quite figure exactly what i need to do with the phone. I'm trying to find a stock rom, but like i said i don't know if its the room, bootloader, kernal or what the hell it needs to fix it.
Please anytips or questions or leads that can guide me.
Model is SGH I777
(Also can't really return it or do anything with at&t since I'm in Colombia, plus att just sucks)

It would be helpful if you could give some details of the problem that you have. We can't just assume that you have the exact same issue that the original poster described in the first post. Please describe your problem in detail. The phone will/won't turn on. The screen is/isn't completely dead. etc.
A little background would also be helpful. How long have you had the phone? Was it working before? Where did you get it? etc.
Need enough information to begin trouble shooting the problem. Will be happy to help if I can.
I had exactly the same problem with my SII. I bought an external charger for the battery, recharged the battery using that and worked fine afterwards (the charger I bought came with a couple of spares which was a bonus as well ;-).
My guess is the battery is empty, leave it on the charger for a bit and try again

Hey there,
I had a similar problem with my battery, it turns out that the charger I was using essentially fried my battery.
Go to an AT&T store (which stock i777 batteries and USB chargers) and explain your problem to them. If this just happened without installing any ROMs or rooting, there's no reason to flash anything, and it's likely a hardware problem. Explain the problem and they will let you borrow a new battery and charging cable to see if it makes a difference.
Otherwise, if this happened out of the blue like that, without any interventions or changes on your part, you should take the advice of the other posters and make use of your warranty.

Blind... lol
Thanks guys for the responses.
*story is i sold the phone to someone and i brought it back since it was not turning on*
Ive had time now to research a bit on android and this phone.
I think its hard bricked the phone does not go to download mode when you press the keys even with a full battery *charged it in anoher phone*
I can get it into download mode only when he battery is taken out of the phone... Once its in download mode i tried to flash the stock rom with Odin and stock kernel, but when its done flashing the phone tries to restart but nothing happens the screens turns on and off and the bottom keys flash in and out.
Ive read that you can use a Jtag or w/e you call it *the micro usb with the resistors in i* but since im in Colombia its hard to find those type of electronics off he shelf*
Anyway if any one has any thoughts or ideas to fixing it with out the battery in it while its in download mode i would really appriciate it ^_^
thanks again for the responses

Im just asking since you didnt mention it... Did you press the power button for at least 3 seconds? My Grandfather did this. Took back his phone only to discover that he had not pushed the power button long enough to turn it on. Sometimes you never know...
I had this same problem. Discovered it was just a dead battery. Battery in, I get nothing. Battery out and I can see the buttons flash when connected to a power source. So obviously its the battery.
edit: Since I still have the dead battery thought I would test out the download mode. Got it to boot into download mode without the battery, then started to put in the battery. As soon as the contacts touched, my phone turned off. No idea what happened to this battery..

Thanks guys for the responses.
*story is i sold the phone to someone and i brought it back since it was not turning on*
Ive had time now to research a bit on android and this phone.
I think its hard bricked the phone does not go to download mode when you press the keys even with a full battery *charged it in anoher phone*
I can get it into download mode only when he battery is taken out of the phone... Once its in download mode i tried to flash the stock rom with Odin and stock kernel, but when its done flashing the phone tries to restart but nothing happens the screens turns on and off and the bottom keys flash in and out.
Ive read that you can use a Jtag or w/e you call it *the micro usb with the resistors in i* but since im in Colombia its hard to find those type of electronics off he shelf*
Anyway if any one has any thoughts or ideas to fixing it with out the battery in it while its in download mode i would really appriciate it ^_^
thanks again for the responses

Not sure what you used to flash back to stock, but if you didn't try it already, I would try the full stock package with bootloaders, param.lfs and all. Go to the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. The one-click downloader would be fine.
As far as the battery goes, even though you charged it in another phone, it may still be faulty. To test, use a known good battery from another phone.
Oh, and one other thing. Just curious, was the phone working normally when you sold it?

Seems to me you were generous to take it back. I wouldn't be surprised if the person flashed some firmware not intended for the I777, with bootloaders and param.lfs and such.
Yeah but kinda had a deal so not loosing much but i still want to fix it.
Let me ask you guys will it be fine to flash without the battery in the phone? Since it does open up the bootloader to and Odin detects it.

[Q] Hard Bricked!!??

Have an HTC Amaze 4G that WAS running T-Mobile's stock ICS ROM.
Here's what happened: Successfully Unlocked SIM with code provided by t-mobile.. Decided to go further and successfully unlocked bootloader using HTC's website. Then used Amaze_All-In-One Kit v4.0.1 to successfully flash the Speed ROM 7.9. Everything went fine with just one issue, when phone rebooted I kept getting the "unfortunately com.android.phone service has stopped" message over and over. Tried restarting, tried removing battery, tried removing the SIM card and nothing would make the message go away. The phone kept rebooting fine though, just that annoying error message problem. Then....I made what was apparently a VERY stupid move. I thought maybe it was a SIM card problem (I was grasping at straws, I know) and put in a SIM card I have from France thinking maybe it would ask me to put the SIM unlock code in again. Well, the phone never rebooted again. I had been using that SIM card in it earlier to unlock it so I have no idea why that suddenly happened. Now it's completely dead. No power at all (battery was 100% charged), no lights, and does not respond to holding down the volume down/power button combo to try to get into the bootloader. When I connect it to the computer, the computer makes the sound acknowledging something has been plugged in and a "Found New Hardware" message pops up showing the hardware as "QHSUSB" and asks to install the software, which of course it never manages to do.
So........ is there any hope? Any at all!!??? I'm DESPERATE. I'm in the Los Angeles area, anyone local willing to take a look at it (I don't expect free help) Can anyone fix a brick? Please? :crying:
(Please, I beg of you, be gentle in your responses. I've been searching the site and Googling for answers and things to try and I'm a bit heartbroken at the moment. :crying: Please don't flame me. I'm actually a nice person and generally not a moron...well, not usually at least. All evidence to the contrary today, I now)
Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions or virtual pats on the back telling me it will all be OK while I cry on your virtual shoulder.

Sounds like you battery may have died and whatever recovery you're using isn't supporting charging while off. So first thing is first. Verify that your battery isn't dead if it is then find a way to charge it. Then try again.
I would take a look here
