Hi all i`m always changing my roms and radio`s like you do lol i had duttys rom installed and hard spl olinex 1.93 also. my problem is and like a true div i used the wrong program on the diamond cos i have the tytn aswell so put that program on my diamond and now it is bricked lol the program was hard spl for the tytn or something can`t remember exactly what. can`t get into bootloader or reset as nothing at all and wont start up or vibrate etc can`t get active sync to find phone so i would say 100% bricked lol i am sending the diamond tomorrow for repairs to htc.
what i want to know is as it has a cooked rom and olinex installed and i bought it new from someone who was selling their upgrade will they be-able to tell whats on the phone if it is bricked and then refuse to fix it or cos it is bricked they`ll never be-able to see what rom etc is installed on it??? it was originally on the orange network uk so would that affect the repair??
any help would be much appreciated keep up the good work to all xda-developers and forum user`s cheers tony

If you flashed the Tytn SPL to a Diamond, you can forget it, it is a shiny paperweight...
Unless the JTAG points for the device are found it is most definitely a brick.
lol thought as much lol thats what happens when you have more than one phone lol would they know it has a cooked rom installed when they investigate why it bricked? cheers

If they unbrick it, then yes, they will know it has a custom ROM flashed to it. However, they will still fix it and just bill you.
damn lol is there a way of blagging it so if i say i bought the phone with the cooked rom installed already and thought that was the original rom from new?? just play dumb lol is it expensive if they unbrick it?? cheers
just to add that dutty`s rom was great and had nothing to do with me bricking my phone. just incase people interpret me the wrong way and think its a rom problem
morning all my phone is being picked up today and was just wondering if they do fix or reflash my phone will it be back to being locked to the orange uk network again even though i unlocked it??? cheers

HTC will flash the most recent ROM available for your device. If your phone is Orange branded, then that is the ROM they will flash to it.
thanks for that mate but i need to know if it will be locked back to orange uk meaning can i use any sim card or will it be on orange uk only cheers
anyone else with any suggestions please cos i`m getting a bit worried that htc will refuse to repair and if they do how much the cost will be. has anyone from the uk had the same problem and bricked there phone? and how much does it cost for them to repair?? thank you
just an update about my repair got my diamond back today and they replaced the main board cos i bricked the diamond so i have a new imei number and life time call counter is back to zero i never got charged for this repair and now i can even hard reset the phone where before it wouldn`t work so have faith if you have bricked your diamond

it seems like you're pretty bricked.
Please give more information on your procedure.
If you cannot boot into recovery (home + power) or the bootloader (camera + power) then it is most likely bricked. If you have insurance, just tell T-Mobile that your phone told you that there was an update available, and when you clicked OK, the phone restarted and then you were stuck at the G1 screen.
um
well i dont know anything how to flash cyanogen
on the jachero page it said get the latest spl so i updated and after that canot go into recovery
so i only have warranty no insurance

if you dont even know what your putting on your phone, you kinda deserved it...
Use your warranty, tell them there was an over the air update and ur phone ran out of battery in the middle of it.... and read up/think before doing something like that again...
theres really nothing you can do now. You need to give us more detailed procedures if you want a second opinion
well
i did know what to do but since i already have the latest radio then i just put the spl and if i get another g1 if i already have the hard spl do i need to put the latest because igot the hard spl from another forum but since the jachero page told me to update it i did that maybe i dont have the latest radio but no since anymore and thank you i will tell tmobile i got a ota but didnt the ota thing stop like 3 weeks ago i dont think they will believe me that i just got an ota barely

So? Just say that you had your phone off for a few weeks cuz you went on vacation and chose to bring another phone for safety's sake, and when you got back, you turned on the phone and presto! OTA update...

1) Use full stops, 'cos that's near impossible to read.
2) No, hard SPL will not work you need Haykuro's SPL.
3) Your phone will only have bricked it you had the old radio OR you did not have a PVT board. Did you look in the bootloader before you flashed the new one? I'm guessing not.
4) Luckily there was a security (I think it was security) update that was just released, so they shouldn't qustion it.
ok sorry
Ithink the warranty will cover it
I would go with the OTA story especially since there was just an OTA update released that has been pushed to phones over the last few days. I know a few people who also didn't read up before they started flashing and they too bricked their phones however, the OTA story worked most of the time. This is really your only choice seeing that you don't have insurance on the phone. Good luck
Just use the OTA story again lol
Tmobile wont hassle you too much about it.
Make sure you download the Radio that Haykuro provided, flash it, then boot into the bootloader to make sure it reads properly. Also verify that you have a PVT board.
Put the update.zip with the SPL on your phone AND VERIFY THE MD5 CHECKSUM (you should do it with the radio too actually)
and continue to follow the proper directions.
If you brick after following that, use the OTA story again but stick to HardSPL lol
what is checksum and pvt board?
Alanrocks15 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PVT board is the board that won't brick when flashed with the Danger SPL. Just another design. You can check your board revision by booting into bootloader (camera+power).
md5 checksum is a special key that is tied to the file that is generated based on that file. If the file that you downloaded is corrupt or different compared to the original file, the md5checksum will be different, letting you know that you need to re-download the file or risk a brick.

"how to root, flash recovery cyanogen, parition sd to fat , ext2 and 3 , how to flash radio nd spl and install jachero"
is this a good post?
Thanks guys this helped a lot wow its been almost 2 years so yea thanks a lot guys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
right i know how i bricked my G1
did spl before radio .. so the outcome is basiclly it hangs on the screen thing
i passed the phone down to my little brother so hes been using it for some time i ain been on the g1 scene for quite some time until yesterday he started ranting on bout me upgrading his system to the Hero ports
my main question was is there a way to recover this problem
or am i going to have to go tru my friends at t-mobile
thanks in advance
1) You posted in the wrong forum. How is this post in way Android Development?
2) Learn to use periods. It's hard to understand what you are trying to say.
...So you bricked your g1?
Sorry, nothing can be done.

Shaji... 1st off how is your little brother using a "bricked" phone? If it is bricked it can't be used let alone have the ROM updated to the Hero ROM's. Also there are several threads over in the " Dream android development " that should provide you with PLENTY of information that you seek... good luck with T-Mobile...
peace
...tell T-Mobile you got an OTA update and phone never booted past the first screen after. You're phone is bricked ,get a new one.

I did the same thing the night Haykuro came out with all his new stuff for that. I flashed SPL before radio, but I was able to fix it. I'll pull up the email I worked out with him, PM me for it.
Disconnect usb, take out the battery and plug it back it, connect usb, boot the phone into the recovery mode, go to the console.
Enter then type this: echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
You now can access to ur sdcard from your computer, download a rom, change it to "update". Reboot the phone again, now try to wipe and install the update. After you install the update, flash the radio first, then the SPL. Let me know how it works out for you.
thanks for all the information people
@shaji007 Your post is quite confusing, can you tell us what you did in order? Can the phone get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?
@phuthanvinh If you brick you can't get in to recovery.
@lukekirstein You know how to bring bricked G1's back to life? This I gotta see...
right basiclly
i followed the guide how to downgrade root n hack etc
did all that
then upgraded to one of JF builds
then i was going to install the hero ports that have been flying around
however this is my fault i wasnt really concentrating and i upgraded the spl before the radio
so yea its bricked on there
i just thought xda might have a way of fixing it back up
getting it replaced with t-mobile is of course no problem but i dont want to go through the hassle

Right, yeah, you're screwed. Just tell tmo that the update bricked it, but don't say bricked, just act dumb

Hi,
I have an att tilt (8925). The other day I happend to upgrade the ROM or flash from 6.0 to 6.1 from htc official site there after the phone doesn't get the signal(wireless).
The following is the device information.
ROM Version:3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM Date:07/17/08
Radio Version:1.65.21.18
Protocol Version:25.88.40.05H
Please any kind of help would be really greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance.
And you used the ATT rom?
Thanks for the reply but I am sorry I am totally new to all this wat do u wat me to do....
yeah looks like you did.
Could you give us more data ?
Where did you find your phone ? Was it unlocked ? Did you do hard-SPL in it ?
What is the OS version, exactly ?
Maybe you must change the Radio, maybe you must flash with another ROM version.
Maybe you only must enable the phone...
Please enter the boot screen and write here all your data numbers (then, switch off the device, you'll boot normally again), and also write all the data you can find in Start-Settings-System-"Device data" (or similar the last screen)
(don't write here the IMEI as it's not needed and could be used for third party people to lock your phone) !!!!!!!!
With all the data we'll know what exactly is your device and what exactly may be happeing to it.
Hi,
I got the phone from ATT with windows mobile 6.1 Professional.
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05h
D 3.57.00.00
These are the things that I got when I tried to reboot the phone
ROM Version:3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM Date:07/17/08
Radio Version:1.65.21.18
Protocol Version:25.88.40.05H
and this is the data from the device
Please help me,Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

What actually happened and why the difference? Surely if you have an AT&T phone and put an AT&T ROM on it (with no other modifications) as per how AT&T intended, if that causes it to fail, AT&Ts warranty department should be informed and should come to the rescue? If you've already hard reset the phone and tested again (it's important to hard reset after a ROM flash) and have tried reflashing the new ROM again and hard resetting afterwards with the same results, it's time to contact them?

Did you try this process twice (in case of a bad flash)? How do you explain the different Windows Mobile versions you referred to as being on the phone originally? How old is the phone?
Hi,
I tried that not twice but many times....I told you that I originally had win 6.0 then I updated to 6.1 given at htc.com its just out of warranty by a month, its like 13 months old.....

The reason for my question was because in your 3rd post you said the device came with WM 6.1 from AT&T.... My HTC branded TyTN II had a warranty for 15 months from new and even if yours is just out of the warranty period for Tilts, they shouldn't completely ignore you if you can prove the problem was caused by using their ROM upgrade. That said, given no-one else with this phone and ROM has complained about the same issue as you here, either your local celltower has coincidentally failed at the same time as you carried out the flash or some damage has occurred to your device (such as to the aerial sticker perhaps). The simple way to find out would be to test it out in other areas where you know reception to be good, also to revert its ROM/Radio and SPL back to the original Tilt setup. You can find all the required files and instructions here at xda-dev via the wiki about how to do that.
As Flying Kiwi says, you can revert to 6.0...
I'm also intrigated by this change of versions from 6.0 to 6.1 (not WM versions but your posting versions)
Well, le'ts imagine you flashed the correct 6.1 ROM to the correct device (the data you wrote here allow us believe in this, I think, but I'm not an expert in SPL and radio versions). It should work. If not, you may try to download the old SPL and 6.0 ROM and flash them. (You'll find their links somewhere in the Wiki, here). Maybe you need to change the Radio to get the phone working ? Did you use the correct ROM for your S/N device ?
On the other side, you may try to do the entire Hard-SPL process and then flash one of this wonderfuls ROM's you may find here.
Or reverting to the original 6.0 and SPL "from" a cooked ROM ?
I'm thinking about my most terrible enemy, the electricity down, and thought you might download a bad version, or it got corrupted but you could flash it...
Please, don't follow my instructions till one of the masters will read my post and tell if I'm (or not) mistaken.
Hi All,
I thank you frm the bottom of my heart for all your responses, surprisingly when I when to att device support center today they said that my phone is still under warranty and they replaced my phone with a new one....

I just got a new phone because my old one's touchscreen broke, I tried to root it and it wasn't working...so i installed the danger spl cause i figured it'd let me install fasttest3.0. Now...I'm stuck at the g1 screen and I can't get to recovery by home and power nor fastboot from power and camera...This phone is bricked and there's nothing I can do right?

Look on the bright side, with 2 bricks you have the beginnings of a nice wall.
Presumably, the one with the broken touchscreen has a good mainboard, right?
I think you can guess where I'm going with this, right?
If you didn't turn the old one in, that is. Swap boards and you should be good.
Ha, I raped t-mobile for a free replacement. Hoooooly that was a joke. Too bad I have to wait 4 days for a new one.
Do you know what board is your phone? PVT or DVT?
What radio were you on when you flashed the Danger SPL?
What steps did you take when you flashed the Danger SPL?
You said you tried to root your phone and it didn't work. What exactly did you do to root your phone?
lbcoder and I were having a discussion in another thread whether the Danger SPL is safe to flash and you could possibly be our answer.

I'm thinking since he got the phone from T-Mo that it was a refurb and I'm assuming when they refurb phones they set them back to stock and when you boot it you receive the latest updates. Im going to guess that he did not update the radio before flashing but how could he even flash the SPL with out having root in the first place? Hopefully he answers your question.
