Good
Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

tutorial on how to fix my phone with that program?
I enter the program is that you give to download mode and
then I get 'EU entry Not calibration mode! (Mode =
0x00) 'and then does nothing else, I hope I can
help, thanks from now!
hello
I finally entered the discharge mode and while carrying on the idt went for something to eat when I returned I showed up he was 100% complete, the phone went off and did not catch more! Does anyone know it could happen? Is there any way to restart?

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.
Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.

P.S.Please remember, flashing your phone with a wrong ROM is the safest way to brick (damage) it. So do not do it if it isn’t really necessary!

Hi all,
I have looked for a similar post, I found out that many people experienced something like that trying unlocking their phones, but I haven't found out any solution.
Here is my situation:
I have tried to unlock my s5830 (orange spain carrier), I have used a method which it seems to be dangerous for the phone, but of course I have found out it was dangerous after I have already tried it
Anyway after I discovered the unlock number contained in the perso.txt file in the efs folder, my phone restarted without service once and after that it went in a bootloop mode, it goes on a download mode, but there is no way to get back recovery mode or a normal boot.
I flashed the s5830 several times with many firmware, but no one worked, and the phone is still stuck in an infinite loop, in which I am not even able to see the samsung logo coming out at the very beginning.
I know many phones got bricked in this way, I wanted to know if anybody has been able to recover the phone or if anybody know any possible solution.
And if not, do you know if the warranty is covering this problem? I just got the phone a couple months ago; i have unlocked other devices before, but this is the first time I have experienced a problem so I am quite new about warranty as well. Please HELP ME
Merry Christmas guys!!!
Thanks in advance

with the cellphone off, put out ur baterry for a minute, then maintain ur finger into the volume down button and the power button tell a friend or if u can alone insert the batery while quickly pressing volume down and power button to get into download mode, and flash.
Hehehe,bootloop is horrible,you just have to get in download mode & flash with 2.3.4 firmware with Odin,just that steps and you save your SGA.
I got bootloop many times and Odin saved me.

If you can go to recovery mode than you can just wipe the data and cache. This saved me many times. Otherwise on what ever OS you may be , just create new user name after removing samsung android drivers. Login from new user name and than re install drivers again and now flash your phone from firmware which was installed on your phone before you bricked it. This helped me a few times.

It seems that you've already received a lot of help for unbricking your device. So I'll try to help out in unlocking your phone after you finished unbricking it.
This is the method I personally used on my locked Ace:

thank you very much I will follow your advice...IF I will be able to get my phone back which seems impossible =(
@dr_vishal
Thank you first of all, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the android device driver, but it doesn't seems to be the problem, Odin ends with a "PASS" at the end, I guess there still is comunication in the between the two devices...
Hopefully it will be a Merry Christmas =)
It's not impossible. I'm relatively new here but I have noticed quite a few "bricked" threads already. Most of them (if not all) have been able to fix their device. I haven't seen a single person permanently brick their device, so I would guess that your chances of fixing it are really high. Just be patient and keep describing your situation and more experienced help will certainly arrive. I'd really like to help out but I have no idea how to fix it as I have not experienced bricking my phone yet.
Anyway, if the method for unlocking I suggested works for you kindly press the Thanks Button. Merry Christmas!

Guys,
I am out of ideas, I have tried each single firmware I have seen around internet, no one is working, any tip or advice or suggestion?
I messed up with the efs, and I guess that's all, the phone is gone....now it needs a JTAG or whatever is its name....
maybe to get the warranty still valid I should broke totally the phone over charging it....??

just a thought
a lot of people have talked about reflashing it and all but have you managed to get into the recovery mode at all once you have reinstalled the rom with odin? if you can get to that you just need to hit factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik and normaly after that it will work fine... so far ive been stuck in soft brink 3 times and each time doing the wipes from the recovery mode has worked...

I've tried to use the oneclick, but it seems it doesn't recognize the phone, since, i guess, it's made for a galaxy s.
The others are not my case, since I am able to get download mode, and all these are made to can get it back.
Anyway I found out a post in which the people were talking about the s5500, which apparentely is similiar to my device, and the owners of that model experienced a similar problem doing the same process....anyway in that post the people needed to use a Jtag, which is the only way to get it back....so I though it could be the same solution for my problem...but I don't know anybody with Jtag, so the only way is contacting the service center.
thanks anyway, when I will be back at home after Christmas I will try to find the ticket and I will probably try to get it back in warranty, since is preatty new...
@torchwolfery
I am not able to reach recovery mode, there is no way to get it back, even flashing the phone with different firmwares, all I got is download mode, and apparently that is completely pointless...since the only change in the phone behavior is that if i install a certain firmwares it doesn't even have the back-light working when it is stuck in bootloop.
Warranty is your only hope (as it was mine once and it worked).
I didn't think it was possible to brick these phones. There I have tried so much to try and brick it but I have not been able to as it still always goes into 'download' mode. The only advice I can give you is double check that you are using the correct version of Odin which is v4.38 and that you use cooper v1.0 as your OPS. If dont mind me asking, but exactly what did you do or do you remember the steps you took to brick it? What buttons are you using for 'recovery' mode.
Also please clarify if Odin is going in a loop or does the phone come on and then keeps rebooting? If it is the phone that keeps rebooting, then wiping cache and data partition should do the trick. This can be done by going into recovery mode (which I am aware you cannot get into) or if you can manage to get into the dialler quick enough before the reboot, by dialling *7267*3855# and that should format the relevant partitions (data and cahce) and bring it back to factory settings. Without further info, I cannot really tell exactly what the situation is.
The fact that you are getting 'download' mode, I dont think that it is bricked because it will still allow you to write the relevant directory/files to the relevant blocks. Either way, would be interested to know.
So I had previously rooted my SGSII, and decided to try installing CM7 on it. I used CWM Recovery and ran it off the SD card, and everything appeared to work fine. I think I had a bad/not fully functioning CWM or something, as it didn't list an option to backup anything (I'm guessing because I flashed the stock kernel after rooting?) Anyway, it will no longer boot. I can access download mode, but Odin fails everytime I try to flash anything back on there. When I try to boot my phone, I just get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
EDIT: I just tried again as I was writing this, after rebooting, reinstalling my drivers and rebooting my computer. I was able to get the Firmware to flash properly in Odin. Now I have my phone booting and getting stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 splash screen... Doesn't seem to go any further than that though, unfortunately.
Any ideas what I can do? Is it possible that I need re-flash a bootloader or something ??
Any help would be supremely appreciated!
So I was just trying to re-install the Kernel, using the CF unsecured kernel, and it failed, but when I try to go into recovery mode, it looks as though it managed to install CWM Recovery. I have no idea what to do from here, and am sort of afraid to do anything for fear or bricking the phone completely...
I'm hoping someone out there knows how to fix this, I feel like such a tool
As long as you can get into download-mode, your phone isn't bricked.
If you switch from or to a TouchWiz-based ROM, you have to do a full-wipe in the recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Go back to stock first via download mode via odin
Nah you're good. Similar thing happened to me at my first flashing attempt. Get your stock firmware from Intratech's thread, put the phone into download mode & flash the firmware via Odin.
Then maybe have another go at rooting the phone with the matching CFRoot kernel.

yes, if you can still go in download mode it's no so difficult..this "small brick" it's on of "Android things to do" once in your SGS2 life
Hi guys. I'm in a worst situation. As my phone after a failed ODIN downgrade from Android 2.3.6 to one stock kernel is completelly dead - it doesn't boot anymore - not even managed to put it back into download mode or revert to fact defaults (no keys, no lights not even battery charging displayed when pluged in) - tryed the USB jig also. Nothing worked.
The question is: Will Samsung manage to repair and how much will it cost - an average ammount offcourse. Because I guess it's out of the question to be considered a warranty issue. I guess it will be visible somebody have done smth to the ROM by a software approach....
This is the short story because I would bore you to discuss all the things I have been through - it was only my faoult out of stupidity
HELP!
I don't see why Samsung wouldn't fix it ? As to how much they'll charge you, I think you'll find that will vary from country to country (labour costs being variable, etc). No, I don't think you'll be able to have it repaired under warranty.
You might want to look at having it JTAG repaired by someone other than Samsung. This will possibly be cheaper than having Samsung repair it. Do a search on here/Google.

Thank you very much. I have searched alot to actually understand - unfortunatelly for me it will cost... I saw on youtube a JTAG in action right now (cannot post the link yet). I understand now it is the only way. I'll keep you posted guys. Tomorrow I'll go to service.
I'm sorry it's going to cost Alex. A difficult thing to happen, I know
Here's a link for a JTAG repairer in the US who is also a member here, tho I see you've already found one. I'm sure doing it this way will be cheaper/probably faster than having Samsung do the repair as well.

Thax. Funny thing is that this is exactly the thing I found - the same mobiletechvideos in US Now I allready have an ideea of how much should cost that. Hopefully I'll find a local GSM repair shop with the posibilitty to unbrick it cheep - or at least not much than 50USD - in local currency ofcource.
I'm still thinking if it is possible to use an ATMEL copy process - like in the old times for EEPROMS - I have done that in the past. In theory it might work but I will never do it - alredy scared about what happened to my beloved droid.
Thx again Mistah and have a gr8 day and a wonderfull new 2012!
Yeah I've seen a report or two on here from people who have used his service & have been happy. Must admit I found his page when thought I'd bricked my phone after my first flash attempt messed up. Yeah you might be able to get it done cheaper somewhere local, and that will mean less time without the phone for you without the phone in mail from you to the US & back again.
Let us know how you get on, your experience will be a good guide for people in future who have the same problems as you.
No probs man, happy to give you the little help I did. You too Alex Hope you have a great year & you get your phone back & working soon

Hello again. Solved right now. The service didn't charged me at all - I was kind of lucky after all. Unfortunately there are still some issues I have from the start. I'll keep on digging - software related.
Dear All,
Before I start, please forgive the repetition, as I know this issue comes up a lot but I've searched all over and can't find a solution for my circumstance. If there's a post I've missed, please direct me there...:fingers-crossed:
I recently received a Lumia 800 with a Qualcomm bootloader, sim-locked to a UK network. The first thing I did was use NSSPro to remove the simlock, which was successful, but I also wanted to debrand and try a custom ROM..
I read round the issue a fair bit and was going to go down the Linux 'dd' route when I spotted the Windows flashing utilties. Ever keen for an easy life, I went ahead and flashed my handset with FunkyRom, apparently making two fatal errors; not backing up my partitions in Linux and not using Linux to do the flash. Laziness stopped me backing up and I'm aware I deserve what I get for that, but the warnings about flashing in Windows were a little harder to spot and I only found those after the event.
ANYWAY....
Unsurpisingly it turns out, the Windows flash bricked the 'phone. I can get it into Qualcomm bootloader mode in Windows and Linux, I can read the partition map (attached), flash it in NSSPro, 'dd' it in Linux and flash it with the Windows tools, but it won't boot past the Nokia logo. After initial flashing the battery went haywire as well and wouldn't hold it's charge much beyond ten minutes. The battery is fine, I have swapped it out for a new one and it works fine in another 'phone, so I'm not sure what that was about. One other thing to note is I've never been able to hard reset it after flashing, the combination of button presses does nothing, no matter how long I hold them down, all that happens is the 'phone reboots if I release the power button.
I've tried many reflashes, replacing the third partition etc but I think I'm just laying s**t on top of s**t now and would appreciate some guidance. I don't think it's terminally bricked because I can still read/write from/to it in Linux, NSSPro etc, but I'm normally a Nokia N9 man, so this partition structure is unknown, I don't know what I'm looking for.
Any help much appreciated, with the note that I realise I ballsed up not making a backup, so you can skip telling me I'm a fool, I'm getting that enough from the missus..!
Sorry for the looong first post,
Squid
Not sure about fixing it as I have the 710, but Im pretty sure you could RMA to the place you bought it, and they would be too lazy to do full checks on what you did to it, send it back to Nokia and send you a replacement
I've bricked tablets and GPUs and phones and RMA'd, and not once have they ever questioned what I did
One phone I RMA'd I'd flashed a German ROM to and everything was stuck in German, UK company just walked me through factory resetting it on the phone, didn't work obviously, so they gave me a new one
Just an idea if you can't fix it yourself
Other options would be taking it to a local phone repair store who have tools to flash bricked phones, there have been a few here who didn't read the "DO NOT FORMAT" posts, and hit the format button bricking their phones, took it to a repair store who flashed it back to a working state for them
Good luck
Hi and thanks for the reply.
I'll be honest, I'm a Nokia N9 man myself, I was hoping to unlock this one as a spare's spare (it looks and feels familiar), so I'm unlikely to be taking it for repair if I can't get it going myself, but it's interesting to hear you've never been questioned about any DIY work you may have done, I've always thought they'd be hot on that...?
I am holding out for a technical hint or two on something I may have borked during the flash itself, and whether that might be recoverable, after all I can get to the bootloader, just whatever I flash on top (FunkyRom, Rainbow Mod etc) just don't load. Also, why doesn't hard reset work on this 'phone? I have questions but I've run out of brains for answers.
Are there generic full partition dumps available to dd in Linux that would be like a vanilla image? Are there specific partitions that may be the problem? If it gets to the Nokia logo but no further, how far in the booting process has it come?

Hi John,
Maybe you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47076870&postcount=2
Otherwise I can download an original rom for you, maybe you can flash that with nss, just let me/us know.

Brilliant, I'll take a look at the NSU first, thanks!
Rataplan,
No joy with the NSU Retail I'm afraid. Do you think you could let me have an original ROM please as mentioned? After that, I guess it goes to the bin..
John
Ok, gonna download and upload this evening, keep you informed.

Ok John, you can download the rom here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9417919/rm-801.7z , the rom is based on RM801_059L8M3_1750.0805.8773.12220, I also suggest to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457341 and

Greetz,
Many thanks, I'll try it later. I have actually tried those threads you linked previously but I'll take another look.
Cheers,
John
Hey there Rataplan,
No dice I'm afraid. I can't get the phone connected in anything other than Qualcomm mode, so I can't use NCS to flash. I can use NSSPro to flash a file with .nb extension but not the files you uploaded. NSU Retail asks me to connect in Qualcomm mode then doesn't recognise the phone once I do that.
I just don't understand how if I can get to the Qualcomm bootloader, why flashing RainbowMod or FunkyRom/FunkyRom lite doesn't work, do you have any suggestions? Is there a way to check if any of my partitions are corrupted?

EDIT - Just read this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29583840&postcount=2 and renamed the boot.img of the ROM you uploaded. Now my 'phone shows a 'Three UK' splash screen, then the nokia logo, but still doesn't load. Is there a way to know what stage of the boot the 'phone is getting to before it hangs?
Ha! Got it!
Using the extract and rename method I flashed the 11412 firmware (oldest one in Navifirm) for product code 059M062 and bingo! It boots and there's no simlock...
Thanks for all your help Rataplan, 'phone revived!
:victory:
Great, I know it had to work, that's why I gave you an copy of an older rom, I'm glad you solved it yourself , take care next time.

Will do..
I've changed my product code with NSSPro but if I try to flash any later ROMS then it goes back to being borked. I can always recover to this ROM now but I'm wondering why I can't upgrade?

I have to take a look at your product code, did you try Nokia Update Retrailer.
The original product code was 059L7C6, I've successfully flashed it with a ROM for product code 059M062 and confusingly, I've written the product code 059L7C2 with NSSPro..
Does it bork it if you try to update it through Zune ?

Hey,
Just plugged it into Zune now and it's offering me 7.10.7740.16. Question: Does using Zune overwrite the Qualcomm bootloader? Once that's gone I know I can't get any custom ROMS loaded on here..
Thanks,
JS
For those who may be interested:
I've got a working Lumia now, flashed with a 12220 firmware on a UK product code but that's it, I can't get anything more up to date on there. Every time I flash something more recent I get stuck at the Nokia screen. In addition, I get the same result with any of the custom ROMs, they just won't load. Could my hardware version be preventing the upgrade? Any ideas..?

No the update doesn't overwrite the bootloader, I flashed the unlocked bootloader to mine and have flashed custom & stock & custom & stock in that order and everything stayed unlocked
Hi there,
So i had a nice time with my poco, but now it's bricked and i need your help.
So is here anyone who can restore the phone using EDL Mode that it's usable ? Maybe someone knows a service who make these work remotely ? Because in Germany there's no service center from XIAOMI.

If he would flash arter leaked kernel which wiped ufs storage including bootloader, he may not even have oportunity to boot to EDL mode as its part of bootloader

You got what you deserved, period. Don't flash every **** that someone is giving you.
And no, there is no workaround. Your phone is dead, go get a new one.

Have fun finding someone that doesn't charge you an immense amount of money for that. Yeah, paying 100$ to some trustworthy ukrainian guy is probably better than buying a new phone.
I hope that these guys learned their lesson to not randomly flash any "fancy" things to their phone. Always look for trusted sources.
I for myself don't even flash newly released roms or kernels. Better wait a week, check some feedback and then go for it.

Nah, the cost of EDL account is about ten dollars. Its still much more better to pay 10 buck rather then spending 400 dollars on new or used phone

Yeah, luckily not everyone does it, otherwise you would have certain problems.
Just check source and if you completely paranoid build the ROM by your self...
So, yes. I did flash leaked arter. Needed EDL flash and phone was alive. Problem that now exists is,I get no network connection. Also had to restore IMEI and so on. Maybe somebody got a solution to bring back at least second Sim to life with mobile connection.
