My system locked whilst flashing the CE rom.....
now i have a completely dead pda.. how do i recover from this?
:shock:
nobody ? any ideas at all? or is my xda going back under warranty?
help!!
reboot
If you reboot your pc, and leave the BA in the cradle, and then just execute the updater (romflasher) again, it works fine!
the BA just sits there.. no lights.. no nothing.
if you remove and reseat in the cradel you get the briefest flash of red on the right hand light. then nothing. screen is blank. hard or soft reset do nothing?
pc just says it cannot find pda when you try to update?
i assume its screwed then.
not nessaserily, try to get into bootloader mode....... i think its power button, camera button and soft reset button, tho someone please correct me if im wrong, if you can get into bootloader, then your device is ok, i aint sure how to get out of bootloader after this, but this happened to me when i tried to install windows mobile 2005 on my BA, lol, before i knew it didnt work, obviously, lol, if you open up active sync, click on file and connection settings, untick, allow usb connection, and try to do the upgrade again, but first after you untick that box, and clicked ok, you need to do a hard reset then put it in the cradle. then after you try and upgrade again, this worked for me, try this and let us know if you still cannot do it.... 8)
I've flashed my XDA, XDAII and MDAIII many times. Ocassionally, something has gone wrong, but I've always been able to recover the situation. But I've just tried to reflashed 1.40 and the PC crashed at 55% and now I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried all the tricks and it is completely dead. Fortunately a new one arrives in the morning.
I think you'll also have to swap your phone. If it won't go into bootloader, it's dead.
thing is, i think the warranty is void if you play around with upgrading and screw up,
im always happy to help someone fix it, as i done it many times with my own, and fixed other pda's too...... 8)

FFelan,
Last ditch, pull the battery off, and allow the backup battery to fully drain. (60+ minutes). Then put the battery back in, and see if you can get it into boot loader mode using the manual method discribed above.

no probs mate, hope all is ok, and hope u dont mess it again, lol...
So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.
I'm stuck with a bricked G1 here in Brazil.
Currently there is no way of bringin a g1 back to life short of giving it a heart transplant<new board>

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

If you search the forum, you will find instructions on how to use WIFI rather than a data connection to get past the GMail sign in screen(s).

I ran task29 but I can change ROM for my phone. help !!!

I assume you mean "can't change"
you should describe your problem in more detail (were you on stock or custom rom before using task29, did you h-spl, do you get an error,...), that's not very much to work with
Mod edit: this it not rom dev related, I will move the thread to general
Sorry I cant* , yes i am on hard spl. I do not have an error and now, I can only see sony icon. since there is no os to boot? still I need to change ROM
Yes, that is normal. Task29 wipes your whole device... That is why your phone can't boot. If you want to flash a new ROM you should connect your phone to your pc, enter bootloader and then follow the steps from the RUU on your pc. Good luck!
So what can I do now? I cant sync it without having it to be able to boot. I assume I cant run ruu with that?
Remove the battery, enter bootloader, pressing down volume button and the power button untill you see the colored lines. Then connect the cable to the phone and run the customruu.exe with the rom file you want to put in
where can I get a bootloader? sheesh sorry for my stupid question
Ehm the bootloader is in your phone. If you press the powerbutton and the volume down button simultaniously the phone will enter bootloader mode.
I thank you very much for everyone helps!
Damn I did what you guys told me. I still failed, i stuck after the tri-colour screen. i mean after the update progress complete.
I ran task29, it is different with flash ROM huh? And now i put xperileo in mcsd and boot it. i stuck after image update.

Did you reset your phone after the connection setup?
Maybe try unchecking the proxy server if it's checked.
Otherwise maybe check the Maxis website for your internet settings.
proxy are set according to the forum and yea I did reset the phone like they said.
So your problem is fixed now?
Hello XDA
The thing is I have an AT&T LG Thrill 4G of a friend and yesterday I install all its USB drivers (tested it), ADB drivers properly installed (tested it installing Root Explorer with Android Commander), and finally I rooted it with SuperOneClick 2.2 which sends a su petition to check you have rooted properly. Then I made designgears's process to install ClockWorkMod Recovery which went good, I even restart the phone and get to ClockWorkMod Recovery, at that time I wait to download a ROM, and when I finish the download process, I restart the phone and never seen ClockWorkMod Recovery anymore, AT&T logo or Android (it comes with 2.2.2). The phone don't power up with any key combination (Power, 3D+VolDown+Power, VolDown+VolUp+Power releasing USB, etc) and even not vibrate when you press the power button. The only thing I get to see is LG logo and that's only when I release USB cable from the phone, it shows up a few seconds and then the phone shutdown.
I don't know what happened here and why. As you can see I made every step like its author said.
Please guys help me with this, my friend will kill me
I can fix it after I get off work.
