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

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 xda community,
I was wondering, given I cannot find any straightforward thread about this, I decided to create one. If you know if any, please feel free to point me there.
Long story short, my HTC EVO 3D was unlocked and rooted (4ext) S-ON with LeeDrOiD, and all was working smooth. Unfortunately, it started having this strange issue that if I pushed close to the antenna/camera it would turn off, and would turn on just after some time.
Sent it for repair after flashing back the original rom and relocking, got it back with another motherboard.
Now, HTCDEV unlock code won't unlock it any longer, and HTCDEV support are just a bunch of retards who have no idea what a smartphone looks like (and I really can't say I got patience with callcenters that just bounce you back and forth with emails that carry nothing but air).
I got the ICS upgrade then when it came out, although I must say I really wasn't that much eager about it, but it was so annoying that I let it go through. I find it to be very bugged in a lot of departments and very unstable, and was wondering if in the meanwhile someone had found another way to unlock this device aside using the HTCdev site (so I might try King Cobra's or some other ICS cooked roms).
Any guesses? Personally, I have to say, I'm guessing I'm never gonna get another HTC in my entire life. I had HTC from the Diamond 1 phone, but this stupid policy they have now really ticked me off, and to "ensure unlock" but to deny it in such childish ways definetly isn't something I expect from an Enterprise such as them. Guess SAMSUNG, or NOKIA with WM8 will serve my needs better...
For the time being though, if anyone of you guys had any insight...
HBOOT is 1.53.0007
S-ON
Stock Rom and all the Jazz
(obv locked ).
Thank you very much!

Offcourse it won't unlock with the same code... you basically got a whole new device. follow all the steps on the htcdev site again and you'll be unlocked.
I find the customer service of htc to be just fine.

I obviously used another code generated from HTCdev website...
Just to hint you... It does happen EVERYTIME they change your motherboard (and the HTC support is full of retards).

Hello!
First, I'm sorry to post this message in the wrong place! I'm new at this! So I'l transcribe what I've already written.
I've never been a huge fan of Android, but when my Nokia N95 died I didn't have many choices to buy a Cell which was not Android. So I bought a TMN (Portuguese) locked Xperia U, which had a great coast/quality (apparently) good.
Soon it bothered me the fact of the huge branded and useful stuff that it brings by factory and what drove me mad was the fact that I couldn't uninstall or customize my phone because it was not rooted! Then I rooted it, by flashtool, and soon after I installed a customized ROM (Zperience) which made the phone faster and cooler (in the mean time I've updated to ICS, but I sort have to ask "please" to the phone, so I could make a phone call or send an SMS (SO SLOW!!!!)).
But, as I now more about Android, I found out that if I install a custom kernell (I'm thinking in the Mujaedin) it would make my phone even faster and I could (finally!) get the full profit from my hardware! But I have my bootloader locked and my phone says that I can't unlock it even if I took the chance of loosing my warranty!
All this text to ask: why some come with the bootloader unlocked, others came with it unlockable and others that can't be unlocked???
..it's so confusing for me that drive's me crazy!!!
My girlfriend has one like mine (from other operator from Portugal) and it's not yet in ICS, but it's really faster then mine!
Thank you for any help or any "enlightenment"!

Usualy when you buy a phone by an operator (TMN, Vodafone, TIM, etc etc) it comes with locked bl. Why is that?
Just because no operator wants you to remove or customize anything and thus keeping your phone without its bloatware.
Anyway, usualy just by rooting the phone, you can remove bloat and keep your device with locked bl.
The other issue with unlocking it is that you lose your warranty. This happens because with an unlocked bl you can install custom kernel, and with great powers, comes great responsability: with custom kernel you can overclock the cpu, install different governors / schedulers, and thus hightening the chances of a hard brick (making your phone run always at full speed keeps it from cooling off, and some have reported phones heating as much as burning their hands / ears - but not from XU, so i've heard).
Nevertheless, you always can relock your bootloader. I recommend doing so if you think you're gonna need the warranty, or just to sell the phone to someone you think will mess with it and blame you
So, some phones come with unlocked bl, others come with locked. This is just the companies acting on their own behalf, to keep themselves safeguarded from angry customers with burning phones
It's unfortunate that you can't unlock your boot loader as it does open up possibilities for what otherwise appears to be an end-of-life phone.
My XU started on Gingerbread and as you noticed of your girlfriend's phone, was very usable. When the Ice Cream Sandwich update arrived I jumped at it, but to be honest I still to this day wish I hadn't as ever since that point it has been one thing after another that's just not quite right about the phone.
I'm currently using pipi14's Jelly Bean ROM (as of a few days ago) and although I'd say performance is better than ICS, it's still nowhere near GB, and now things like the LED bar don't work quite right which is annoying as I do value it.
If I were in your position I would look for a tweaked "stock" Gingerbread ROM which should offer better performance but that you should still be able to use, even with your locked bootloader. If you don't want to "downgrade" you could always try one of the locked bootloader-compatible ICS ROMs but their performance will never be as good as the GB ones.

First of all, thank you for your time and answers!
I'm very new to this android stuff, as I was very resistant to migrate to android mainly because of this: it drives me mad the fact I have a "ferrari" limited to 30 mph! It's very good hardware and very limited software, so it's very general to all brands and models...
That being said, I sent my Xperia to warranty, because I don't believe it was "normal" the way that my display was responding to touch (sometimes didn't respond at all, other times displayed several keys when I was not touching it). Nevertheless, I still don't understand why some phone's came with the bootloader unlockable and other don't, despite the consequences... :S
Cheers!

Hi.
From my experience, i would recommend you to just root your device, install the newest, .100 debranded rom and use it.
I have unlocked my bootloader and tried using Transcendence and Sliding kernels, but both were driving me crazy: apps were closing while i was using them, system was unbearably laggy, at the end it took me 5minutes to enter phone.apk and make a call (i managed to make it after removing battery, because i couldn't even restart the phone).
Now i'm running .100 firmware debranded by pirej and it works like a charm .
So don't worry about custom kernels, root only and have fun
Hi xda ! I'm hoping someone can help me ! I have a Verizon LG g3 I was messing with custom rooms and I flashed cyanongen lolipop and decided I didn't like,it ( I know weird) but I flashed back the the Rom I liked prior and realized my phone didn't recognize the SIM anymore. So I tried different rooms and have come to the conclusion it won't read Sims anymore. I want to unroot and go to complete stock, I have tried the different ways online and I can't find how to change port settings. If someone could assist me in either flashing back or any ideas on why it won't recognize Sims because I want to fix it that would be great! i have tried all the common sense jazz, even got verizon to try to fix it on their end but nothing will work. the steps on the help sites i find look soo simple however i always get stuck on the "change port settings" option as i can find that option in my device manager, even had a friend try on his computer he is better with me in tech and we both couldnt figure it out! i really hope someone has some tips for me because I hate to have a great phone like that sitting around !!
thanks

If you have installed the correct Verizon drivers for your vs985 then your phone should show up as a COM device under the Ports section of Device Manager in Windows, if you are in download mode.
I did the same thing last night I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone after going back to stock ROM. Made sure everything was working and then rooted again and put a custom ROM back on it and now everything works don't know if this will help you but worth a shot.
Try formatting your sim card
FIXED thanks all for the replys

Hello guys,
I hope someone can help me.
My problem is:
I purchased a pre-used htc one m9 prime camera edition phone.
It was used abroad as a business phone, and mobile networks or simcards of my country, Latvia, cant be used on it.
I read that I can debrand the phone by changing it's cid, so I did. To do so I paid those 25$ dollars to get S-OFF with the sunshine app.
Now my phone is android 6, s-off, bootloader unlocked, super cid, with twrp custom recovery, all that works well.
I flashed stock android 6.0 rom over android 6.0 that I already had, I used these files,
only files I found for this phone model:
https://mega.nz/#F!MNZjhTbY!TBD3jAMDa88PxmqEOLX9nQ!oYhkBCpB
Since it's Europe's rom, hoped that it would reinstall radio and I could insert my sim and connect to local networks,
but after all that still there is no service when I boot up the phone.
So, have I wasted my money on that useless sunshine app and this phone on which there isn't even any custom
rom development, and on which firmwares are rare to find? Or am I doing something wrong?
In download mode it says, radio-unknown, so I think radio hasn't been replaced still,
if I could find a 5.0 lollipop rom, I could flash it and it would replace marshmallow 6.0 modem,
but I can't find it anywhere.
Or is this some kind of sim lock that can't be solved without paying for some sim unlock code? I thought sunshine app would be enough.
I don't want to give up yet after all the time and money I invested in this phone.
I attach some screens of my bootloader and download mode.
Any help is much appreciated ^_^)/
Thanks in advance!
Alright, been fighting with it with no success. I flashed wwe marshmallow rom, on it I got few otas,
I got excited and hoped it would fix the mobile network issue, but they didn't fix the unknown radio issue at all.
Tried few others I could find for free.
Only other rom I had hopes for that I could download for free for my phone was lollipop for asia region,
but I cant install it even with super cid, s-off and unlocked bootloader.
For all other lp roms you have to pay. Pay for s-off, pay for sim unlock, pay for stock rom, yaaay htc is awesome.
My conclusion, super cid is a big fat lie and no, nobody with super cid can install roms from any region as I read here in this forum, you cant even install asia rom over eur device, speaking with first hand experience.
so anyone who reads this thread and thinks they can easily fix mobile network issues on htc phones, unlock carriers and do miracles with s-off,
please don't unlock s-off, dont waste your money, you wont get anywhere, you wont be able to do anything, at least for this phone model.
Htc phones are a big ripoff, I will never buy any htc phone again, you have to pay for everything, even to get stock roms! o_0 and nobody mysteriously on whole internet doesn't have them anymore, except the guys who sell them.
And any developer who develops a rom for any htc one phone with their s-off scam is kind a dumb since end users cant flash their dumb roms without paying a bunch of cash to a party app to get their phone s-off.
How the community is even supporting this nonsense! You have to be a cow if you think its normal and if you support this thief system.
Anyway, now I am about to try and flash a rom from a different phone, form htc one m9+ since it has the same mtk chipset as my htc one m9 prime camera edition I think it should work.
Or anyone advises me not to? Thanks
But who cares if it bricks it.
I thought this is a pro master forum, with people who could help, but obviously everyone here in an amateur,
with not even a single tip, as always, users have to fight alone~
If I will find a solution, I will try to update this thread for those who are in need.
But after all the time and money this htc phone stolen from me, weary I am and ready to throw it out in the garbage,
thats what I suggest anyone with htc phone, just throw them out. So dont have high hopes, your device may just be unrecoverable, dont waste your own time with it, learn from me.
Hi, @elviss_f ! Did you find any solutions for your problem? I have an HTC M9e and I'm thinking to s-off it. But, since it has a Taiwan firmware on it, I'm afraid that the same problem will appear when I install an European firmware. Any advice will be very useful. Thank you!

Hello.
I have not found the solution. I have searched many forums asked help to russian at 4pda,
spent weeks trying to fix it with roms I found, but this problem never disappears.
If you will buy s-off from sunshine app you will really regret it, because you wont
be able to use it for anything, there are no custom roms for m9e or m9s. And you wont be able to fix it by yourself. You better spend 25$ on something more worthy. Don't do the same mistake as I did.
As I understood, modem reainstall can't fix it, and roms you flash dont really even overflash modems. Rolling back to stock doesnt help either.
For this device, rom of different region wont allow you to use other carriers.
Don't waste your time and nerves on this, if you really wanna fix it,
I guess only way is to bring it to service center, and they will do it for you for about 45euros, that's very expensive and is't worth it. There are many much better phones to use.
Now I am selling the phone and got myself an android nokia 6, very happy with it.
You should get a different phone too.
Hope it helps.
