If you're telling people that you can fix their phones, then you need to be able to fix it without having to come to a forum for help. Especially if you're charging for this service.

thanx for your reply,as i have never challenged u or my customer that i can repair any handset that i have recieved.i have discussed here the fact that its the customer's fone.and your reply is not to the context.Just read my problem and u have any solutions pls advice for the same if not just go to other post.

hi majeed
i have read in another post, that someone else has had the same problem...no seriel or usb on screen, dont worry about it.
once in bootloader just plug phone to pc and do what you have to do...still worked for them.
cheers and have a gr8 day

Thanx bro for reply but i have tried connecting in same condition to different pc's but i get error :260

not sure what your trying to do after you are in bootloader??
you have bootloader 5.xx
therefore you can only install same stock rom or find same but earlier rom to downgrade ur hspl. must be same region too.
cheers and have a gr8 day

Hi jhonny,
i tried to downgrade bootloader according to tutorial of ansar and his rom found somewhere in this forum and got hspl and rspl.first i tried to use rspl of dft but i could not succeed and got an error and then onwards no "serial" in boot loader screen and the result not at all connecting to pc.tried again resurrectin with riff but no use.

wizard bootloader in smartphone :(

phone is not powering up
hi , I have a htc typhoon (amadeus) based qtek 8100 phone , by mistake I upgraded bootloader to a htc wizard bootloader rom ( IPL/SPL 1.01 ).Now the phone isn't opening turning on or powering up.When connecting to usb nothing happens.Sometimes, it blinks all of the keyboard lights (maybe sometimes that I play with key combinations). How can I repair and put the right bootloader into phone again ?
Note1: I am pressing cam button and connect usb cable nothing happens.
Note2: I can't access to the bootloader screen
.....wow :roll:
LOL that's perhaps the funniest thing i have read on this site

I would pose this question in the dev/hacking forum or on the smartphone dev site.
I'm only guessing here, but unless there is a second bootloader image (the Wizard for example has two copies stored in ROM) that can be booted from or otherwise forced to copy over into the primary space, then you might own a brick.
Actually, you may be able to revive it using a JTAG connector and associated flashing software, but that's specific to your device and would be better addressed over in the Typhoon forums. Essentially you would connect a JTAG connector to the EEPROM inside your phone, and the other end connects to your PC. You'd then need software that can transfer a new bootloader image over to the phone.
[off-topic]
Sorry for saying it like this....
But how the **** did you managed to do this?
Were you drunk or something like that...
[ on-topic]
Are you sure that you can't get it in bootloader mode?
What happens if you get it in bootloader mode and just try to flash it again (although your PC said it isn't connected) ?
The problem is I don't know the JTAG connection points for HTC amadeus based phones.Where should I look ?
Phone is not powering or charcing because of these are also controlled by software.Bootloader mode is not available.(I am talking about charcing even not working or opening the phone , bootloader is impossible)

Hello folks I desperately need help, Ive just bricked my brand spunky new wizard G4 IPL/SPL 2.21.0001. I tried to do a Rom upgrade from shipped Rom to WM6, xm6 by mfrazz. I went through the process to 99% and then the progress meter changed from blue to red 99%, it stood there for awhile and gave the Error code 302. The screen is now in rainbow colours, it doesn’t do nothing. I need help please.
Did you CID unlock ur phone first? ... flash it back to the cingular ship rom. www.htcamerica.net

Thanks for the advise, No I did not CID unlock it, I read some where in the post it’s wasn’t necessery to CID unlock G4 wizard, unless I was day dreaming! I need detail help pls, the wizard is not responding to a any treatment from it current state. It’s in the rainbow coma if I may call it, if I take out the battery it obviously goes off completely. If I put the battery back in the rainbow colours comes back on and it doesn't do anything. In This circumstance, how am I supposed to flash it back to cingular ship rom, please explain? Many thanks
All you need to do is download the official T-Mobile ROM from their site and re-flash it. The fact that you are in the "rainbow" screen is a good thing because that's the bootloader and where you need to be to flash. After that, you may need to go through all the postings about flashing a G4 again a time or 2 because if you had read them you would have already known how to fix this problem.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLOM!!!! ok can some one please tell me what i need to do to fix this problom im at the rainbow screen and i am just stuck! is there anyway to just get my phone back to normal?????????
First, connect your phone to your PC. Don't use an USB hub, plug it directly into the PC!
Then, start the phone. When it is in "rainbow" mode, just execute the flash utility (the original provider ROM) on your PC to begin the flash process..
This should work!

Problem installing HTC HD7 HSPL / RSPL

Hello to all ..
My problem is that here ..
In a few words I wanted to install in my HTC 7392 with node HD7 SPL Bootloader 4.5 and unlocked the rom modified mango ..
but before you do anything, I had to install HSPL / RSPL in my HTC HD7 ..
I downloaded the "DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1"
I followed a guide ..
MAH reached the point of selecting the SPL, the list of the program reached only up to 3.4 ..
so my HD7 being with SPL 4.5 you could not do so I tried to install the 3.4 "I did na bull****" ..
so going forward I get an error in the program where it was impossible to go on ..
So I unplugged the HD7 and I tried to do it again ..
MAH OSPL when I open "volume down and power button" not come out as written, but all I get only one written with the words "SS-BC PD29100 (4k) ..
What has happened? knows someone explain why?
I already tried to do the backup but nothing = (..
What does the spl screen say when your in bootloader?
Sounds like you have the 4.xx version.. If that's the case you need to flash an official nodo rom first. The hspl doesn't support spl's 4.xx yet.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

if your Bootloader does indeed only have one thing written on it...
then you have half-bricked your device.
according to cotulla, here, it is impossible to recover such devices.
though...
according to dj.95, here, you can recover your device using the goldcard method.
good luck.

you didnt read the instructions that are in giant bold letters all over those threads...you had spl 4.5 and tried to install the hspl. youve unfortunately half bricked your phone and currently it looks like it may NOT be fixable at all. try the gold card method listed above, i havent done it or read the thread but briefly but it looks like it may be a work around. unfortunately tho youre phone is BBQ'd.

i don't thing with the goldcard method we recover our device! my device work ok, but don't go to boot usb host mode because bootloader is half bricked! then no gold card works...
(or maybe it's me, that does not access the USB host mode?) ( camera + vol- + power?)

Half bricked possibilities
Hi friends. Do you really know anybody, if goldcard, Zune HTC update, JTAG or something another can solve hb problem? I am also in the "warnings late reading ignorants" club from last weak. But, I got a reply from a single "Half Bricked repairing" service near of Central Europe (GSM-TechNix.de): "Dear Sir, HTC 7 Pro is no Supported by JTAG! Sorry we can not help for this Phone." I have a little idea - to replace only internal information about bootloader version (I have no info on tricolore, but 3.2.2250.0 in Settings/about), connect to Zune and replace HTC update, if it is depend by this number. Is it possible? I have unlocked phone with pre-nodo (older backup has deleted by Zune), then HTC debug application or some homebrew features for values writing can work.
(From another forums:
_________
"Just updated my half bricked phone(bootloader problem) via Zune with HTC update for Windows Phone and the bootloader hasn't been fixed, so our only chance is with XTC Clip or DFT to come with a solution
Actually I got the same problem using an HTC Trophy A1 Version."
________
"For now your/our phone(s) are half-bricked. But as soon as a new update is available - including a new Radio Version everything will work fine again. Had the same problem when debranding my phone. After updating to 7932 via Zune everything was fine again - until I applied the leaked Mango Update.
So again - be patient "
________
"If your device is halfbricked you can use the goldcard method to recover your phone. If it's full bricked you need to make a jTag."

"Goldcard cannot repair halbricked WP7 phone."

bootloader
hey sirajgoku, thanks for the link..:good: im going to try ur advice, but can u please tell me where to get a goldcard and another thing I just try to get the hd7 in bootloader and it got and it's showing me this "PD29110 SS-BC (4k)", do u know where can I find what that means..
thank u so much for everything.
The PD29110 is your devices MID (model id) There are a couple goldcard method tutorials available for hd7. Here's a pretty detailed one you can follow. you need a card reader, some USB cables to make a Y cable, easiest method Y cable (otg)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152
The hd7 is considered the Schubert, which you'll see in the tutorial.
Are you getting any other information while in bootloader mode, like bootloader version, OS or mico info?
If you found this helpful please click he thank you button!
no more info in bootloader mode, it doesn't give me any version or os, just what I wrote before "PD29110 SS-BC (4k)".. when I turn on the phone it just stay in the htc screen and then vibrate like 7 times and that's it.

Ok, definitely bricked, but is it a small or big brick and it sounds like you have the big brick! Then the only other question is, can you enter USB host mode still and if so does your computer recognize it when it's plugged in? Press camera+volume down+power on, to enter in host mode.

If you can get to BL mode then you should be able to get to USB HOST MODE. If you can do that PM me. I'm in Ft Lauderdale not too far and I'v goldcarded at least ten of 'em. If you can't get to Host mode next stop JTAG.
It will go into bootloader mode but it's bricked. Meaning there's only one line of information showing in BL mode which is the devices MID. If it will go into USB host mode there is a possibility of fixing it using the Goldcard method. If it won't go into USB host mode, there is one more possibility of fixing it besides using and having to resort to the Jtag/riff box. Using a cab and the cab sender, like the schubert 2250.21.50001.728 cab. Which if successful would upgrade the spl to 5.xxx and would added a few more lines of information to the bootloader screen but wouldn't repair it completely to where the serial/USB show up on the bottom line. However this should allow you to enter into USB host mode now and then you could use the Goldcard method and flash a stock/shipped rom for your devices specific carrier. This should repair the bootloader and should also downgrade your spl and OS version as well, depending on what version you flash. At this point you can update through Zune to the current OS version and mango. Then if you wanted to, you could use your goldcard to downgrade the spl and install rspl/hspl and flash a custom rom!

Bootloader issues and half bricked

Hi guys,
I bought a HD7 a while ago, and it had been nice to use, right up to when it decided to randomly restart, and freeze. Saw there was a 7.10 update, and went for it. Half way through the update, my phone restarted, out of the blue, as the updates where installing... Typical, eh? so, before it did restart it had took a back up, Zune saw the backup and I attempted to restore. A few hours later, it had failed and the device doesn't boot past some stupid PC connection screen. Its a black screen with a mobile device, connected to a computer....
So... After a while of research, I decided to downgrade, and then flash a custom rom.
problem being, I wasn't able to get the bootloader info or OS version before the phone decided to brick its self. When I was an android user, I had bricked my phone many times, but this is so much harder.
Heres the info from what I got from the bootloader screen,
PD29*** SS-BC (4K)
SPL-5.11.2250.0(134400) MNG
MicroP(LED) 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
Can any one help me with this?
I am on o2 UK.
I have been attempting to use task 29+00. Apon using 00, I use radio 1.16 and 1.69 and both somehow restart the phone from the install percentage bar. Also been pointed to the this website, an archive of xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Radios
Can some one give me a helping hand and point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

The goldcard/ Ycable method is your best bet and truthfully your only hope without having to use a Jtag or Riff box. The goldcard method can repair a damaged bootloader and is used while in USB host mode... The black screen indicating to connect to a P/C. This is the basic idea of it...use the goldcard method and flash a stock/shipped rom for your devices specific carrier. This should repair the bootloader and should also downgrade your spl and OS version as well, depending on what rom version you flash. At this point you can update through Zune to the current OS version. Then if you wanted to, you could use your goldcard to downgrade the spl and install rspl/hspl and flash a custom rom! Here's Shadows tutorial on how to downgrade spl, this will give you a background on how the process work and links to all the shipped/stock roms:

Hi,
When it gets stuck on "Enter USB host mode" it means that it can't read the file from the SD card.
Try this -
1. Try switching around the connections of the Y cable.
2. Try a different SD card reader. This is usually the problem.
3. Make sure you renamed the .nbh file to SCHUIMG.nbh (has to be capitalized)
4. Sometimes the camera button will get stuck in and prevent the device from reading the file.
Also when the device gets stuck on "Enter USB host mode" you have to reset the device to get an active connection again... Disconnect the Y cable from the device, pull the battery and reinstall, then re-enter USB host mode and try the flash process again.
Try those and let me know if you have any success!
hi
do u know anyone with this problem, how i can contact with him/her?
