You cant ship it back to them and have them get it to a Service Center for you? Did it come with any sort of warranty from expansys?

ohhh then you can definitely fix that issue. I had the same problem when I tried to flash RR and I did a battery pull. started phone, stuck on screen that said Galaxy note N7000 and held the buttons to go into Recovery. hold the buttons till recovery shows up not just for 10 seconds sometimes it'll just make phone reboot.

Hello Guys,
I recently PICKED up a DEAD VIVID from a fellow XDA'r for a really cheap price hoping I can UNBRICK it and use it
As I have understood , This phone was bricked during the ICS update Process. Looks like the Original Owner did not know what he was doing LOL,
The phone should be here in a WEEK
Can anypone shed any light on how this can be fixed and what are the possible options ?
JTAG ??? HTC service
I live in INDIA BTW
bump....
Hope I wasn't a Idiot to buy a bricked VIVID ??
I don't think any solution has been found so far. If you hadn't already known, our vivid section is really small with not a ton of development going on. The people that couldn't follow directions were sort of left in the dust, and I don't know of anyone working on a fix for the bricks.

I assume he's talking about the worst kind we've seen. Like the noob who pissed off PG and made him leave.

If it powers on and you are able to go to HBoot it can be saved.

If you can get into Qualcomm dload mode, you should still have a shot at fixing it. If it literally can't get into dload mode, does not boot into fastboot, or any other possible method of pushing files to the phone, then yes, it is bricked. You will have to find a way to use JTAG or send it to an HTC service center.
Thank you all !!!!! hoping for RIFF box to work
I started a similar thread.....I also have a bricked Vivid.....I have been able to get mine to be recognized by QPST on com6 in phone download mode.....the question is, what do I do now? QPST seems to be pretty straight forward, but I have no idea where to find the necessary files to flash the phone. Any ideas?

I haven't been able to find any .hex files for our device. Tried opening the various .img files extracted from the PH39IMG.zip in a hex editor and saving them as .hex files but QPST returns an error. I don't have any experience in hex editing, but I know I can't brick the phone any worse. My g/f has went back to an HTC Inspire so I am going to keep this hope alive as a side project.

Whether this guy who bricked his phone was a NOOB, isnt really an issue now is it? Nor if he is one of the ones whom ticked off PG.. I bricked my Vivid, and 1) I'm not a NOOB. 2) I followed Directions to the letter ... did everything right and it still bricked.. but i had insurance through BestBuy , sent it in and got a new phone 2 days later.. re-tried the same steps i did before which bricked my phone, and it went through without a hitch... We arent here to judge people nor start up another thread which can potentially lead to another mass exodus from XDA
Well I just got off the phone with HTC....seems I was wrong about their warranty policy. Even though I was not the ORIGINAL purchaser the PHONE is still under warranty. I will be shipping it back to HTC first thing in the AM.

Wow, I didn't even know that. All you have to do is send back the phone, no receipt, no nothing?
I called HTC and gave them my contact info and all the info about the phone....IMEI#, serial #, and part #.....told them what the problem was....and they emailed me the info about sending the phone in...worst case is the problem won't be covered under warranty, in which case I will have to pay $135 to have it fixed. Hopefully it will be covered under warranty though....
Hi I seen your problem to me step and follow these steps to get here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20807914&postcount=2 download from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/ version for AT & T is this RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_CINGULAR_3.26.502.52 install it from your computer and running.

yeah i've sent them many phones, a couple of hd2, touch pro, touch pro2
can't remember what else but yeah if ur not original owner from a store they go by production date of the phone, i've been lucky that i always got them fixed for free, only once they said that said that the damage to my screen was due to physical damage and didn't fix it, and they charged me $40 (they call it a triage fee) other than that, i had to pay to ship it to them but it's worth the $5 using usps priority mail, they ship back at their cost with a nice box and HTC lint free cloth lol

If you need the H-BOOT let me know i,ll give you a copy once you have it leave it as is just put the zip file (PH39IMG.ZIP) to the root of the sd card hold down vol button and power at the same time once you see it boot let go and the phone will do the rest it will unbrick it for sure.
Ok, to put it simply my phone has this problem...

I had that problem and ATT changed out my phone. Since then it has run perfectly. You don't mention what OS you are on but failing with ATT my only suggestion is at least get to some version of 2.3
I run Legend 4 with Corn 7.06 with no problems. If it still shuts down at least you'll be doing with a nicer ROM!

This is what I get for buying a phone off of eBay. I usually never buy from eBay for this exact reason. I am so stupid.
I guess I could try flashing a different ROM, I currently have the Dark Knight ICS ROM but to be honest I don't think it will help. Thank you though for your reply.
Try checking with Samsung. A 10 minute call on a device I bought off of ebay got me a prepaid shipping label to return it under warranty. Since that is a known issue, they may fix it out of warranty also.

Yep. If they're willing to fix it (probably just replace it) then you will need to return it to stock.

any other options ?
other than replacing the motherboard....there is something called a "JIG"...no clue though as to how it works.
can this be repaired at unauthorized service centers without replacing the motherboard....

Only motherboard can help. JIG is working, but for total brick it won't work.

Deja vu
This has happened with me too. Got my mini hard bricked and it was not under warranty. They will charge 5k for replacing the motherboard. I suggest you get yourself a new device instead of getting this repaired for 5000

My frnd told me earlier, what he did was, he went to his frnd's shop and made a new fake bill with date for under warrenty
Now go to cc with fake bill, in countries like india this will work but this will work only if u havent gone to care before cuz once u go there, they have saved copy for bill for first time
Try this only if u dont have any other option left instead of buying a new device
Whats wrong in trying, worked for my frnd he was lucky enough

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?
