heres the scenario i did, i basically did hard spl on my device, it rebooted itself and then nothing is happening further from there. Device boots up all i see is ROGERS and thats it. pressing power and camera button doesnt do anything, pressing power and home button also doesnt do anything. Please help.
did you put the 1.33.2005 spl from the rogers heres your real root thread of the hard spl floating around on all the other rooting threads?
yes thats true i used one of the hard spl from here....but im running out of luck....need assistance please
if your phone will not boot into either bootloader (camera and power) or recovery (home and power) then you have a brick, i hope your phone is still under warranty
I dont know if its still under warranty, coz i didnt get this phone from rogers, i bought it off from someone.......it was a brand new one....so im hoping for some good knews from somewere....

Im using Rogers HTC Dream
I flashed the ADP1 Radio 2.22.19.16i from the Developer HTC website
My SPL is 1.33.0010
Then when i reboot the phone it stuck @splash screen showing "ROGERS"
And i cannot go to the SPL Screen or Recovery?
Is it broken? I only know if flash the SPL will break the phone, so the radio does?
Can you reboot by holding Green + Red + Menu? If you remove and put the battery back in, and hold Camera + Power, does anything come up? Can take a few seconds...
If anything comes up, things can be fixed and you should be fine.
No...
It doesnt work to me...
Cannot reboot use Call+MENU+Hang
Real Brick?!
well if you cant get in recover or anything sounds like it is.hold home plus power to see if it will go in recovery or not if you can get it there it's not bricked but if not thn yep it's bricked.if so call rodgers or who ever your service provider is and go that route .just say it's mess up .
this is really messed up because i started with same rogers htc dream as you and first tried to flash spl and got a brick. you tried radio first and got a brick. what are we supposed to do? can radio and spl be flashed at the same time?
this brick is caused by flashing the wrong radio on the wrong phone...... radios are just capable of bricking phones as the SPL.....
also, the radio may be incompatible with your spl
not sure 100% its a brick, maybe there is a solution. but im 90% sure its bricked if you cant access anything. try letting it sit on tht screen for a few minutes, it may take time to update
Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.
me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.
Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.
so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.
You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good
Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send
check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.
I have the Rogers HTC Dream and I was going to update the radio blah blah to the 2.22.19.26I one so I put the radio on the sd card and in preparation I was going to do nadriod. But I wasn't paying attention at all and flashed the radio instead (I am an idiot).
Now it is just stuck on the Rogers screen and holding the home button or the camera button doesn't do anything.
I am fooked arn't I
Any help?
Bricked....try looking into this....its cheapier than buying a new phone.

Im sorry for your phone...
Can you get into adb at all? I didn't do that exact issue, but one time I did something that screwed up some things, I couldn't boot the phone or get into recovery, but I was able to adb into it, reapply the recovery.img and then get into recovery to reflash a ROM and everything else.
Computer doesn't recognize the phone at all
I phoned and told them that the new update for the 911 fix bricked it. They said they will send me a new one and if there is no water or hardware damage it will be covered. It's not water damage and it's not hardware damage (it's software ) so I will see what happens.
They didn't mention anything about software and they might not check so I might get lucky.
so your comp doesn't recognize it in fastboot also?
i thought i was bricked till i realized that RA Recovery 1.5.2R didn't work when i downgraded my EBI1 radio to .26I one. had to load 1.5.2w/o R to make things work again.
then again, im all new at this stuff (just a few days). so i might not even know what the hell im doing.
yes your right that I would need a new recovery also but it is too late now as I can't get into fastboot or recovery and computer doesn't recognize my phone while it is stuck on the Rogers Logo.
I assume the new dream that they send will already have the new SPL, radio and rom so hopefully someone will be able to root the new "perfected" SPL by the time that I get it .
I saw in the Saphire section that you should beable to use a goldcard but I am not sure if that works for the Dream also... I guess I will find out once I get my new Dream.
Are you sure its not finished installing yet? It took two reboots and a few minutes to install the radio on my phone. I couldnt do anything and I was really scared, but then I just left it on and it finished on its own=p GL
Well, everything fine i finally made all to work unroot and stuff and when to write the spl ( death spl ) my phone is dead, manifestation by not doing anything else but starting vibrating and showing me 't-mobile G1' bootup image, in rest nothing works, it doesen,t listen to any button push, is frozen, it even recharge battery when plugged in to the power supply wile closed. Please help me this is desperate i need working phone!!! Thank you!
If it doesn't go to bootloader or recovery, it's bricked. Gonna have to use ezterry's jtag method if you want it back:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5911627&postcount=302
thank you this looks interesting but i am awake of 48 hours + hope to understand how to connect it by jtag and have the necessary.
I really don't see how anyone can flash the SPL without flashing the radio first....its in big huge red letters everywhere and its always mentioned to people who want to install the death spl.
At any rate....don't you need a working G1 to bring back a bricked one?
Here it was because i interrupted the writing process accidentally
Does that mean you pulled your battery during the SPL flash?
Yes, and the only thing is doing now is the usual vibe at boot and frozen on the screen with the boot image t-mobile g1 stupid and annoying.

No I don't think so.. as I understand it, you just need the jtag serial interface and a brick with the blue light mode working.
Well too much time it takes the jtag method and don't think i have all i need and i don't really want to start soldering to the mainboard, on htc with win mo i could do a hack to install from pc with ruu flasher on the old stuff but here there is nothing working and couldn't find enough details what is 'blue light mode' anyhow if still doesen't work with simple methods i'l pay someone with a gsm box compatible with this like otr or what is its name. And BTW shouldn't it be working with mini usb to serial converter too?
I received a G1 from a friend, this isn't actually the first G1 i've rooted. I have one of my own, and I have done about 3 others without any problems what so ever.
I'm not exactly sure what went wrong. I had flashed the recovery, following the cyanogen wiki, and when I got to the flashing the Hard SPL part, i flashed it, (and the radio) and i restarted, and thats it. It just stays at the G1 screen.
No combination of keys work. Home + Power. Camera + Power. Nada.
From most of the threads I've found, I can almost say its a brick, but I just wanted to double check that theres nothing I can do (ADB?).
Thanks!

OP, Sorry to say, you have a brick.

sent it back to the SP with a story of how during the flash the computer crashed. here's to hoping.
got the phone back after being charged about $25 to repair.
anyway this time i read the instructions properly. left the radio on 3.22.20.17 and then installed the one click root and flashrec apps. I then rooted the phone, download Anon-RA's recovery image with flashrec. I then followed the cyanogen wiki and froyo is now running on it.

It definitely sounds like you have a hard brick. I think the only way to fix your phone is to JTAG JTAG it. Which I have no idea how that works or how to reload the software on your phone.
