hi there
i unfortunately did something (have no clue what) wrong while applying hard spl on my htc niki100. no bootloader is available anymore and hard reset is not applyable neither. pc keeps asking for installing data interface driver when connected to it. i guess jtag is an option but since im not into soldering i'm searching somebody who can do that for me. who ever can unbrick my niki will receive 50€ as a reward/thank.
plleease help me.
best, babouin.
if you are willing to play, go to a local phone shop. If its fixable, they'll fix it for for about £60 (depending on the fault)
At the very minimum, they'll tell you what the fault is...
thank you, i'll try that. here in switzerland usually the estimation of cost for repairing is about 50 pounds, but it's worth a try.
thanks again,
babouin
You might also get a used Niki around 50€ at [email protected] Or check out a tool named Frankenkaiser (never tried it, but search the forums for it, also kaiser/vogue/polaris, it should be the tool you need).
hmm, i got my niki200 for 20 euro's so if you look good you can find one for not too much money
thanks guys, frankenkeiser unfortunately does not work neither, since there is no way to get in to any bootloader :-/ i'll bring my phone to the shop tomorrow, so i'll tell you what they will have told me. but thanks anyway for your great support!

you prolly didn't see the PM i had sent you ..
oh thank you very much! i've just read it. unfortunately i brought it to the phone store, they will do the cost estimate. if its too expensive ill try your way and you'll get the reward! but i really appreciate your help! lots of thanks!!
Ok, so here is my story. I just got a T-Mobile HD2 yesterday. I successfully installed HPSL, and was running Android 2.2 beautifully. Except I had the problem with the distortion during calls. So I started searching...I must have done at least 3hrs of research before I did anything.
So what I was told was that I needed to flash the radio. I read dozens of forums with people talking about trying all different kinds of roms and people even going as far as saying that if you flash one that doesnt work, dont worry just reflash.
Well, I THOUGHT I had narrowed my search down to the rom I needed. I was under the impression that I should use this rom;
(Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)
But I unintentionally downloaded this one;
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11 **(from TMOUS 2.01)
Now My phone wont even come on! Ive heard people talking about un-bricking these phone, but they all start with going to the boot loader. Mine does NOTHING AT ALL....the light doesn't even come on when I plug the charger in
When I flashed it everything went fine, no errors, nothing, I had the htc loading bar on my screen, it hit 100% and it shut off and it wont come back on.
By the way, I flashed it via usb.
I have a bad feeling that I'm screwed. But if anyone can help it would be appreciated. As I received this phone from a friend who switched to the EVO, I don't even have the T-Mobile service yet, I was going to switch at the end of the month. I don't believe I have a way to get it replaced.
OK, so some more research has found that I definately installed the wrong rom...duh. and that this problem is specific to the tmobile phones.
At this point I have been reading about jtag, RIFF box to be specific. I would be willing to pay someone (a reasonable amount) if they could fix my phone. I'm may be willing to purchase my own riff box, if I cant get my hands on a new phone. I just don't want to spend $150 on a piece of equipment that ill only use once.
But if absolutely necessary, is there anyone out there willing to provide me with step by step instructions on how to connect the jtag to the phone, and run the software? I know its going to involve soldering, I have that coverd, But what and where to solder?

i hope someone answers and you get this fixed because after you hit a radio brick.. im lost.. thats time for me to call my insurance company..
good news is.. there are enough bricks on here that if you have to buy something that will fix a radio brick.. if you chaged $30 -$50 a phone to fix them you would have more phones in your hands than youd know what to do with and would def get your money back.
there was a thread that samsamuel and some other guy were discussing this. the other guy (forget who it was) can do this...but lives in south america. if you search for it, maybe he can help. yes, a very looooong shot...but an idea...
Well I have some good news, for me anyway, I did some research and found that the phone I had received is still under warranty until March. So I'm hoping that since its a complete brick that they wont be able to tell It was modified, and also I believe the rom I was trying to flash is actually an "official" rom(correct me if im wrong).
I have given serious thought to getting the riff box and selling the service, I could definitely use the money, but I don't know the first thing about how to use it.
Now, this seriously needs to be done!! What rom should the T-Mobile USA users use to flash the radio in there HTC HD2? I know I'm not the first or the last person who will brick there phone. I searched for over 3hrs and kept getting linked back to the same thread,
([REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread)
Now while that does seem to be a very complete list of roms, nowhere does it give any info on what one to use for what device. Furthermore, I knew what phone I had, what model, the ram and rom size, all the jazz, but nowhere did anyone tell me that the !!T-Mobile!! HD2 was just "Slightly" different than the others. I didnt find that out until AFTER I bricked the phone, as did ALL of the other users who bricked there devices.
I, and most of the other bricked users would agree, there needs to be a thread(maybe even a sticky) that is solely dedicated to us T-Mobile HD2 users. So lets start here!
The primary and really only issue is this...what is the proper radio rom to use on these phones and what is the proper way to flash them? If this question can be discussed it will make many of us very happy.
BTW. Other than the robotic voices, the HD2 ran android AMAZING props to whoever created FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1. its simply amazing!
re post 1 unfortunately you haven't got your information right. the first one will def kill a tmous because it is a ..51.. radio, and the second one will also kill a tmous because 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x are from test roms and don't support the 576ram giving the same effect as a ..51.. radio.
re post 5 the radio thread you mentioned. i suspect you have been only reading the regular hd2 section, (this section) when in fact the tmous has it whole own section, complete with tmous radio thread with all these warnings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
on a plus note loads of people have claimed on warranty, just don't mention flashing.
Thank you! I love to be proven wrong. (No sarcasm intended)
I had no idea there was a tmous thread. anyway this was the original radio thread
httpa:Z//Zforum.xda-developers.Zcom/showthread.Zphp?t=611787
I threw some Z's in the link because I'm still new here so I cant post links yet.
And no way did I tell HTC that I flashed the phone. I just told them that I put it on charge, went to bed, woke up, and it was dead as a doornail. I should have it back in 3 weeks.
When you get it back, stick to the tmous hd2 forums for flashing info. For everything else, though, I find the original hd2 forums we're in now a lot more informative and active. The phone are identical except for rom size and the fact you can't flash certain radios. But you can use the same software, etc.
Good luck returning your phone.

We'll I should have my phone back within a few weeks. Apparently HTC repair is backed up, its got something to do with the Nexus One. I didnt say a word about it being hacked, so I hope they don't find out. But anyway, I wanted to thank all of you for the positive feed back with my problem, and for linking me to the right forum. I was expecting to be bombarded with people calling me an idiot, and saying things like "use the F'ing search button", but Instead I was given very useful and sympathetic replies, and all the info I need to not make the same mistake twice. Thank all of you, I wish the users of more forums could be this professional, helpful, and quite frankly this grown up.
Thank you.
P.S: Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not HTC will be able to recognize that the phone was hacked?
I've got an LG Optimus T (T-Mobile Optimus One) that's fully bricked and I can't find anyone in the area to assist saving this device. I contacted several of the cell phone ripoff shops here in town and they all say they "know a guy that can do it but doesn't work for us" but they won't put me in direct contact with this so-called genius and I'm stuck for a solution.
Also... I was kinda hoping someone might be able to help for no charge - I honestly don't have the cash to save this phone but I can't afford another one either. If I had the cash I'd just get another phone, duh, but I'm between a rock and a hard place so, figured I'd ask and see what happens. I know people expect hard cash for most everything these days, but I could use a break and it'll be good Karma back on you if you can help.
It's the only Android phone I have and I'd love to get it functional once more.
Mods: I couldn't think of any other place to ask the question so, if this is off-limits or going against any rules (that I'm not presently aware of) feel free to delete it outright instead of just locking it.
Contact me by PM if you're able to help, and my Wife and I appreciate any assistance possible.
Hi guys i have a question.My digitizer is broken so what is better reparing it or buying an other phone? The repair cost in Poland is 400 zł,or i can buy the lcd+digitizer for 200 zł (pln) and try to repair it myself.This is for me very important,this phone is great but the 400 zł for repair is too much for me.For 400 zł i can buy a anotcher maybe better phone,one part of phone is more expensive than the whole phone.The phone about i'm writting is xperia mini pro sk17i.Thank for help and sorry for long post.
Please just search for that, there are some threads about that
Just in short: It's very hard, digitizer+touch are one unit and there's not a single good tutorial for exchanging the unit (the only one I know is on iFixit)... it's very sad
You doesn't understand me correctly i'm asking what is better buying a new phone or reparing it.I've searched for anotcher threads before i maked this.I just found a thread about chow to chance broken screen.I know how to chance it on you tube is a toutrial chow to do this.
Hi all,
As said in the title I need a XA Ultra for investigations around the brick problem and try to find a solution to resurrect it.
I don't need it for free but it can be very generous if yes, you can help me by donate to buy a broken device or sell it to me for a reasonable price.
It's absolutely not for my personal use, my girlfriend have it and will never allow me to dev (rom and other) with her device as long as playing around the Ultra is not safe. I hope you understand my request.
