Hey i've fallowed most of the threats on this site about how to flash a phone back to its stock ROM but i cant get past the CID error. I've made a goldcard and still failed. i cant use the 3g on my phone because i need to go back to stock and fix it. So i figured i'd post a thread. I'd really appreciated the help as the money i spend on 3g is wasted each month. thanks
is there any rom that still has the update phone software, or radio like the stock firmware? or do i just have to some how get it back to normal?
Liquid sense works great to update PRL. Do the baseband also
Good luck
V's CDMA Hero
Thank you soo much!!!! hope i get my 3g back!

can anyone explain which one is the best one for 8125 g4 locked
and how im am to go about it thanks alot sorry for the noob question
Just depends on your operator, so you need to try yourself and find out which is the best one.
i have at&t and running on wm 5
Basically, like starkwong said, it's pretty much trial and error. You have to try out all of the different Radio ROMs to find out which one works best for you in your area. Nobody here can really tell you for sure which one will work the best for you, unless maybe they live just down the street from you or something.
i know that im just asking is it safe and not brick my phone because its not unlocked in anyway
Normally Radio ROM can be updated directly with the Update Software (RUU) regardless unlock state of CID.
OH NO!
I have a Cingular 8125 G3 unlocked and have TNT's Touchflo rom on it. I tried updating my radio using Faria's 2.69.11 updater, but now my phone won't work, usb won't work, and when I reboot, it reads the IPL/SPL is still 1.xx and the OS is 6.00.0.0 but there is NO GSM line at all! Seeing how I can't the usb to work, I can't flash it with the T-Mobile rom or anything, however I can transfer things onto the phone via IR. So is there something out there I can use to fix at least the usb so I can reflash my phone. Thanks in advance!
Got it!
Nevermind, I got it working. I was able to transfer the bootloader.exe file over to my phone, ran it, and then was able to reflash my phone. Whew, I was so scared. Anyhow, thanks for all the info on this page, I love this site!
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
I wouldn't hold out much hope for lukekirstein's unbrick method that no one has over heard about before...
ok so i just attempted to flash my sprint tp2 with the latest version of The Cell Pro ROM and once it rebooted it doesnt go past the TOUCH pro2 screen. help! this isnt my first time flashing but this is my first problem ive come across. i really hope i didnt kill my phone
You need to give more information...Did you hardspl your phone first? Did you security unlock it too? Did you verify that it took the hardspl/unlock if you did.. More information is need before we can help.
This is the GSM forum, they probably should honestly rename it to that in the title, if you go to the rhodium forum base theres a section specifically for CDMA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517. If you search around there are other people that have done the same thing (flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone) that can give you steps to fix it.
I'm gonna guess that you flashed a GSM ROM from this forum on your CDMA device. Go here, download any ROM, extract it, and rename the .NBH file you extracted to RHODIMG.nbh. Now, place RHODIMG.nbh on a MicroSD card (which is formatted to FAT32), stick it in your phone while it is off, and press the power button while holding the Volume Down key. Now, follow the instructions that should be presented, and let the ROM flash. When it finishes (it'll say when it's done), soft reset and hopefully your device should be fine.
ill give the microsd card flash a shot. ill let you guys know how it goes. thanks for the help.. for the time being i switched back to my old mogul
phones back in action. thank for the tip, but still one small problem. I flashed mighty rom and looks and works great for the most part, but i cant connect to the internet. Data wont connect nor will wifi. wifi will detect networks but itll just keep trying to connect. with data an error message just keeps popping up everytime i try to connect. some help would be great

did the cell pro rom contain a radio?
if so, i think you should get the original radio that came with your device (Att or sprint ... etc) you can find them in the sticky in this forum.
i just checked the cell pro rom thread and i didnt see anything about a different radio.
You have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Sprint uses a CDMA radio, NOT a GSM radio. the ONLY roms that you will be able to use are in the Rhodium CDMA subforum. If the first rom didn't load quite right, try a different one. You'll get MUCH more help in the sub-forum dedicated to your device than here. We only know GSM devices here, sorry.
Yup as others say, just flash a CDMA ROM. Your phone is probably just fine...

I concur wholeheartedly.. This thread is the perfect reason..
im running cm6 vanilla. have 2.42.01.04.27 radio. that radio was for 2.1 release. since our 2.2 is ported from another phone, should we use a diff. radio? if so, would it even make a difference? just wondering if anyone knows before i try it out and jack it up. thnx
Radios are different for everyone I think it mostly depends on ur coverage area u can flash different radios if done properly it wont hurt anything different radios give better reception for some and worse for others my only advice is make sure its a radio compatible with ur phone because if u flash the wrong radio I think u can brick ur phone so read extensive before u do

2.42.01.04.27 is the most recent radio, and it most likely won't be updated ever again. It is only updated when there are RUU updates, and since the Hero is no longer the shining beacon of Sprint's Android collection, I think its the best we will get.

DO NOT FLASH A DIFFERENT RADIO. Flashing the wrong radio is pretty much the only way that you can completely brick your phone. Update your PRL and PRI when the time comes, but let the radio be. Trust me on this.
No dice I've flashed about ever Sprint radio out there in fact I keep 2 different ones on my SD card so wen I go to visit my inlaws I flash a different one cause the latest Sprint radio sucks that far up north but in the city I reflash the latest because its gets me better service in the city and like I said if done properly and u have a sprint radio u wont brick ur phone remember I said if done properly so check the threads on this one in fact some Dev of roms have sometimes even suggested updating ur radio wen flashing a 2.1 or 2.2 rom like I said check the threads and I'm right by the way I don't trust anyone

Your radio odds fine its the latest radio. Wouldn't bother with another... is lime playing with fire.

The Guy was asking if he should I told him if done properly its his option if he's receiveing garbage service and slow data download times then I would recommend trying a different radio if ur download data speed is to ur liking and ur phone calls come threw clear then just stay with what u have but the option is there and just because its the latest radio doesnt mean its better than the other ones do some research and u will c exactly what I'm referring to

Yeah. Thnx for replys. Iknew it could Brick me. So that's why I wanted toknow if anyone had a better on or any recent luck. Thnx again.

Hello, im having issues with my HD7. I just recieved a replacement phone from t-mobile and it was really buggy and freezing so i decided to try to reflash the stock firmware. I have tried both versions that are available for the HD7 for T-Mobile and the phone goes through the process in ruu but hangs at 11%. Doesnt go any further and eventually times out with an error 262. I have also tried to flash with rspl but no luck as well. I can not wipe the phone or do anything on it as it is stuck in bootloader. Can anyone please help me to install the stock firmware back to my HD7......any help would be greatly appreciated
Did you hook it up with zune first to make sue all the drivers were installed prorperly?

Thanks for your quick reply tfn, but unfortunately i do have the current drivers installed on my pc. The really strange thing i just found out is that it will let me flash a non stock rom, like dft's mango but will not allow me to go past 11% on the stock rom. I dont know, im on tmobile's prepaid and this phone has a warranty, i just hate that i cant get this new "refurb" to work that i just got in from t-mobile. It frustrates me so much, cuz i loved wp7 on my HD2 but im having nothing but bad luck with these HD7's :'(
Anyone please......
