I flashed GSM ROM over CDMA Lika RETARD! HELP!!!!

Did something extremely stupid......
I Flashed a GSM ROM (DUTTY's 5.2 ROM) onto a Sprint CDMA phone. STUPID! I wasnt paying attention and I dunno why I did that maybe cause i saw the features on XDA and normally I'm on PPCGEEKS but now I need Help. Is there anyways of getting a CDMA Rom back on the phone. I can still get into bootloader manually. But i Need to be able to transfer a CDMA ROM to the internal Memory. Is this possible without fully booting into Windows Mobile?
Thanks for ANY suggestions!

I'm not sure, but the difference between isn't in the OS rom, but in the radio rom.
But it should be possible to flash another rom directly from the operating system with the tool delivered with almost every rom. Enter boot loader and then connect via usb.

my comp is not recognising the internal drive

pretty sure you bricked your phone

I too did this when i first started flashing my phone because i did not know the diff between GSM and CDMA , so this is what i did to fix it
1.turn the phone on to bootloader mode(tri-colour screen) to do this power the phone on while holding the the volume down key.
then
2.plug your usb in and wait for it to say usb on the bottom of the screen,
3. now flash your phone with a stock rom
this is what i did and the phone was fixed good luck post back with your results

I did the same with my phone and I burned it. I sent it to service and they change the entire motherboard.

Windows does not recognize anything when in bootloader mode. =( New phone on the way... if someone can gimme a fix for this I will pay pal them $$$...

WOOT fixed it!!!!
Using <--, vol-down, and power-button sequence:
First Bootloader will automatically try to flash DIAMIMG.rom which is still the ROM that messes up ur phone in the first place do to user error. I went ahead and let the WRONG Rom install about half way then pulled the battery. I then turned the phone back on and to bootloader screen says " Rom Upgrade Failed, Please try again..." I then plugged in USB cable and the phone detected the USB plugged in. Then went and ran rom upgrade utility via windows.... and presto! Phone fixed. Whew... I had all my contacts, pictures of kids and video all saved on internal storage. I hope this help someone as stupid as me.

When i turn on my phone I get the Tri Colored screeen
and it says: Upgrade ROM error code please try again.
and then the phone turns off and on.... Please help....

please please HELP SOMEONE!!!!

Don't dispair! I had the same problem and got out of the situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377&p=3677341
You probably have the wrong Original Rom from HTC installed (may wrong language).
To solve the situation you will need USPL. USPL will install. If you are using Windows Vista you will probably have to update the drivers (See the thread).
Once USPL is running install the Original HTC 1.56-ROM.

but how can i can i installl uspl if every time i get into bootloader it turns off after 10 seconds and then turns back on...

nobody else can help??????

Try to take out the battery for one minute or two, then see what happens when switching on.
If ok (usual start) make usual normal bootloader state, and see what is your SPL. Then decide which flash you have to do.

Flash back your original ROM, you don't need USPL to do this.
For your original ROM look at this link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
If you have problem flashing with you PC, you can try to flash from SD just extracting the files from the original ROM exe you downloaded on a temp folder (you can use winrar to do it), rename the "ruu_signed.nbh" to "BLACIMG.nbh", copy it to the root of your SD card, and flash the rom from the tri-color screen by pressing the power button.
Then, if everything is fine and your phone work again, you can think to flash a coocked ROM using USPL.

It mean your phone stay at bootloader? tri-color sreen with SPL you can see. It's ok. You should download USPL 2.5 and Rom ship 1.56.4xx. Fisrt you flash SPL by running blac_uspl , your SPL will be change to 1.15USPL, then you flash ship rom 1.56.4xxx, then everything will be ok. Give it a try
Note : It's more stable if you use Win XP.

from my experience with HTC Wizard and what you are describing it
sounds like
your battery is very close to dead
you need to find a way to recharge it
your phone is protecting it by shutting off
also i don't know how valid this is for the Blackstone
but the wizard would not charge in tri-color mode
(again for battery sake)
so make sure you have a nicely charged battery (buy a spare or a table charger)
and then try to flash something again
P.S. i don't know how one sentence cries for help peppered with EXCLAMATION points encourage anyone to help you

A clarification of the above post. When you have 3 colors (actually 4 with white color) and USB on the white band you have to start blac_uspl.exe. That will replace the original bootloader of your phone with cracked temporary bootloader named USPL. At this stage it shall no more give errors and you may flash it from the PC or from the memory card.
The suggestion for the battery also seems fair.

You have to copy the BLACIMG.nbh on the microSD using a USB card reader, not your phone. Then with the microSD on the phone, in the tri-color screen, it will automatically flash your ROM, if you don't have low battery of course.
If you want to use USPL to flash a coocked ROM (for your original official rom is not needed). Your phone have to stay at tri-color screen for more then 10s.
Perhaps your problem is a low battery as someone already suggested.
Do you have tried to remove battery and put it back, let the phone off and charge it with the wall charger?

lol i did have low battery... how unlucky am i... it would shut off every so often....
but i fixed!!!!
i took out the battery and synced it with the cable..... without a battery inside and it worked!!!
I love you guys!!!!
i am not lieing i was about to cry

wow

Dont stress so much next time. When your stressed out you dont think with a clear head. Glad it worked out for you.

The changing of ROM only seems can not brick your phone. Only unsuccessful changing of SPL can. Until SPL is OK you may ever flash new ROM.

Bricked device

Have been using roms no problem, but when updating today my PC died midway and now my experia is bricked. Will not connect to pc either so cant restart update. Ant suggestions out there woudl be appreciated.

Your pc died?
Maybe a bit more detail?
What did you do when it died? Did you have a blue screen of death?
did you tried hard resetting your xperia?
To help you we need some info of what you have been doing and have tried to do..
you can try to put a rom on the sd card and then go to bootloader.. (since i install my roms that way) it could work.
Good luck,

download a rom, put it in the root of your sd card renaming it kovsimg.nbh
turn off your device;
turn your device on while press audio down button
you will enter bootloader mode;
follow the on screen instruction
it's done!
bye

flash using a customRUU or using mSD card

As long as you can get into the tri-color bootloader screen your still ok. turn off the phone, then hold both the volume down and power buttons, and your should see the tri-color screen, from there you can use the customruu method from pc, or like l0rdsheva said with placing a rom image on the root directory of your cd-card and naming it kovsimg.nbh

Thanks to you all sd card did it.

I personally think that the mSD method is the best, just make sure you got 50%+ on your batt

both methods hav their own advantages. the best i think is MicroSD with the charger plugged in. because then if u drop your phone while flashing (which i've done ) it doesn't turn off, at least i think it doesn't, because when i dropped my phone and the battery fell out while flashing via pc and it continued regardless. (much to my relief!)

Need Help! Bricked Phone??

Hey all,
I was trying to upgrade my Topaz to WM6.5 and obviously something went wrong.. Now when I turn the phone on, it goes to the tri-colour screen but displays the message Upgrade ROM code error please try again. After that, it goes to the white loading screen and just stays there until the numbers 00068002 in red appear at the top of the screen. Then it goes back to the tri-colour screen. I've searched the forums and tried some of the suggestions out there. Nothing has worked! Was wondering if someone could really halp me out with some step by step instructions!! Thanx in advance!
PS: I have HardSPL 1.83 installed already. That installation went well without any problems. It was when I went to flash the rom this happend.

i would suggest downloading another ROM (try the orginal ROM of your language http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576620) and copying the TOPAIMG.nbh onto your storage card (ROOT DIRECTORY). now turn the phone on by pressing volume + and power button and then follow on screen instructions.
good luck!

dont worry, just a bad flash because of a corrupted rom
redownload the rom or any other rom.
use the card flasing as described by Drag-on or remove the storage card, (just tomake sure it does not see the rom image on it). connect it to pc. wait untill it shows usb on the 3color screen. wait untill the pc is finished installing drivers and then start the customRUU. that came with the rom you are insatalling
that should do the trick
success

Here's the thing, when I connect the phone to the PC, the PC can't find the phone anymore.. Well, it is connected, but it's not showing up on the computer.. I also don't know the original rom language for my phone.. My serial number begins with HT947L, anyone know?? I tried installing from the computer but it gives me the invalid vendor ID error..

ur computer is not suppose to read it like it would normally. (it wont recognize it in device center) but its connected. use the ruu that comes with the roms u download and u should be able to reflash ur device and dont worry its not bricked.
if u trying to do it manually rename RUU_signed that u get when u download a rom. rename it to topaimg and copy it to the root of ur microsd. then insert the card into the phone and turn it on. now ur phone should recognize the new rom and ask u if u want to install it. hope this helps

I haven't been able to find a rom that works.. I've tried several roms.. I rename them TOPAIMG.nbh and put it in the sd card but it never works. The phone will go to the loading screen and then the numbers 00068002 in red appear and then it just goes back to the tri colour screen with the words Upgrade ROM code error please try again. It just stays there after. When I try to do it manually from my computer it keep sgiving me the Invalid vendor ID error. I'm totally stuck.
I don't know if this will help, but when trying to do it manually, the program says I don't have a img on the phone. the version of the img I have is just left blank.

Update: Thanks for everyone's help! I finally found a rom that actually worked. It installed and everything. I still don't know why it had to be that certain rom and I still don't know why I couldn't flash from the SD card method. I'm really just happy everything is up and running again. I'm never flashing my phone on my own again.. lol.. If anyone knows why I couldn't flash from my sd and why I had to get a certain rom even though I had HARDspl installed please let me know. I would like to know just for future reference.

Hero stuck on boot screen

My phone was acting crazy today so I rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the htc boot screen . I am running Fresh Toast v2.1 and haven't made any changes for over a month . I try go into recovery by holding the home key but it does nothing , just hangs . I tried to see if fresh kitchen would see the phone but it doesn't . Any help would be greatly appreciated . I have noticed that the phone will restart after hanging for about 5 mins but of course it still hangs .
I cant get into recovery , however, the only screen that comes up is the screen with 3 droids on skateboards and it says

Do you have a nandroid backup ? If so , try restore . I cant even get into my recovery . If dont work maybe try Turn it off and try to hold the power and home key. IF you get stuck again, hard reboot again (battery), load up, THEN turn it off again. This time, turn it on with the (-) volume button held down.

Have you tried taking the battery out for 30 seconds and putting it back in?

Click on the link above that Dave provided and download that . Put it on your sd card and flash it . This will take you back to stock but you get to start the fun stuff all over again . Last case scenario . It could be worse , I mean , at least you have options . As of now , I have no way of communicating with my phone and no access to recovery . I might be screwed .

i went to usb toggle and put the ruu on the root of the sd card then i went to flash zip from sdcard and it says no zip found. what do i do?

It's a Rom Utility Update. Just download the RUU, install it, then run it. Follow the directions within the RUU. You will have to plug your phone to the PC and let the RUU do its thing. When it's completed, your phone should have a factory stocked ROM.

well i pluged it in thought the usb during boot and in the recovery usb toggle and when i run the ruu i get a error 170 usb connection error

Try turning the phone off completely, then run the RUU again.

Isn't there another way to boot? I remember something about using the down volume button, the back arrow and booting... that's probably not the actual keys, but I know it was different from home and power. Anybody?
