What kind of ROM wm6 for the hurricane are you flashed? If it not containts IPL & SPL for hurricane it is not over now.
Try to downgrade to the original firmware for you platform (TORNADO)
Charge battarey (if phone dont want charge, do it externaly) and enter bootloader by pressing camera button & connect USB
thanks for your respons,
which rom it was i dont really know exactly, what i do know was that it go far to quickley
i can not turn the phone on and even with an external charger it wont work.. i already tryed to access the bootloader but it wont work..

Try to charge battarey with external charger (not in phone). Or with orriginal charger, connect it and leave at 6-12 hours.
And when you try to turn on phone ith it have red blinking for a second?
May be that you reflash incorrect botloader (IPL & SPL). I know method how to repair it, but ferst of all check that your battarey ith full charge...
yes exactly, when i have the baterry in the device and i want to turn it on, i flashes verry weak for a moment..
and when i remove the battery and put it into my original charger, it flashes strong for a second when i put the connector in.
so i am correct, that means my battery is empty and i have to find a way to charge it external..
i already have an offer for an another phone, do you think i can repair this one?
and which method do i have to use?
thanks in advance
edit:
with some wires and an another adapter i figered a way out to charge the baterry external..
it would be great if you could help me.

Chek the voltage of baterry ( it must be near 3.7-4.3 v). The easy external charge you can make taking the charger with same V & Am parameters, choping connector and take the choped wires to baterry in right dirrection "+" to "+" & "-" to "-", but this is dangerous way soo if you dont uderstand how to doo this, dont doo it.
But it seems, as when you try to connect orriginal charger there are only blincking for a second and nothing else, that you destroy the bootloader on your phone...
And is this blincking red or orange flash ?
no i realy know what i am doing and i let it charge for a couple of hours but there is no result..
it still doesn't do anything and i know the battery is full now.
when i want to turn it on, it flashes red, so if the bootloader is destroyed that means that he not can be repaired is it?
well.. i already thougd that it was over but now i now it for sure..
thanks for youre help

I can repair it ( I repaired many devices with same problem), but i am from ukraine, soo i dont know is it possible to send it to me for repeairing, or i can buy it from you for experements in repairing...
i live in holland so that is a bit to far for driving indeed
well, ofcourse i can sent it to you but what does that costs? transport, repairing etc..
or you may buy mines for experimenting and than i buy an another one..
how much would you give for my 8300?
is repairing so difficult that i cant do it my own? or do i need special tools or something?

I dont know about shipping cost from you country(you must find out on your post services), for repairing i ask near 20 EUR. And ofcourse shipping by your costs in both sides.
If you want to sell it for me i can give you near 30-35 EUR (it is dependent from accesories and outward appearance).And I pay shipping costs.
Yes for repairing you need special tools (special cable etc.) and wide experience...
oke then i want to sell it to you that makes it a lot easyer, because special tools and experience is not really what i got
i am going to buy a 8310 so i want to keep some accesiores like car holder and stuff.. i can offer you the phone and battery and charger..
so that will be 35 + shipping costs? i will look that up, i dont think that is verry much..
i will sent you a message with my bank acount number and then i would like to know youre adress so i can sent it to you..

This guide right for your phone( i meen the procedure). But if you took the ROM from this guide, you kill bootloader in your phone, becouse (maybe) it including the IPL & SPL for TYPHOON. Wright mee to PM...
And give mee a link dirrectly to the ROM that you flashing...

Wow, clearly you have no brain. My phone is bricked, check the New SPL and IME thread and maybe you'll have the slightest clue what I'm talking about.
MY QUESTION HERE IS VERY SIMPLE.
While trying to get past G1 boot screen, I pressed the
Home button+Trackball+Power.....
The Phone doesn't "power on" but the led light comes on blue and stays lit.
Battery pulls have been done numerous times over the past 2 hours. If you don't have a clue as to what the blue light represents, then don't bother replying to this thread. Ok.
Thanks.
when u installed the new spl did u reflash the rom?
cuz thats the problem
when the new spl is added you have to reflash the rom u were using
dont wipe so you wont lose your apps
A customer came into my store 2 days ago with a g1 that would not turn on and all it had was just a blue led lit. Tried everything to get a screen to come up and no luck.
That same update bricked my phone, t-mobile boot is all i see
home+power = dont work
camera+power= dont work
nothing did now i have to return it

I rephrased my 1st post so I could get an answer about what this post is for. I'm not an idiot, I know how to flash an SPL/ROM/ whatever.
The phone is bricked, I am one of many, check the New SPL and IME thread.
That has nothing to do with my topic here though. Thanks.

I can get the G1 screen to come up, but that's all. I just didn't know if the combo of keys I pressed to start the phone meant something.
Turns out if you just press the trackball in and press power that will trigger just the Blue LED light to come on as well.
Just trying to figure out if this is useful or just more G1 shananigans. lol.
is the G1 screen comes up your phone is NOT bricked...
try flashing the regular JF ADP1.5.. if that dont go, start flashing old roms(RC29, RC30 etc..) hope that works
Saw this posted on a forum for T-Mo
the omniscient Google sez:
(found on forums.tmonews.com)
The problem is caused by ppl powering the device on, and when they press the red END key they are also holding down the MENU and pushing in the track ball at the same time.
This then enables a lock on the phone the only way around this is to pull the battery and turn the phone back on with/out pressing an holding the menu and trackball.

well plug the charger into the phone with the battery still intact.....then remove the battery while the phone is still plugged in. then unplug the charger and plug it back in........place battery back into phone and then power it up. That worked for me.

It actually can be bricked head over here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515822 and you will see that it is. Persons are not able to get into recovery even unable to get into the boorloader screen. By pressing home + power or camera + power. it can be bricked and show the G1 boot screen there are 7 or so phones that are like this now.

Just a generic lock? awesome. That's all I was wondering. Thank you!
Blue light happened when I washed my G1. I can occasionally get it to start up, try hitting the power button for a sec, hit it a gain a few times and see what happens. Throwing some trackball presses in there seemed to help too. G1 is an odd creature...
7 phones bricked and still counting thanks to the H special SPL.
Not so sure it's the SPL
one correspondent who purports to be an associate of T-Mo suggests that that button-press combination invokes a hardware lock that can be undone. see above

If it gets to the T-Mobile-screen, the phone is NOT bricked.
If it's able to show the picture, it furthermore shows that atleast that part of the flash is intact (The picture resides on the splash1 partition, while the secondary is on splash2).
barlev869 & arqueware:
Hardware-lock? My bet would be this is some sort of test-mode, maybe for hardware-diagnostics?
It's not a lock if it can be avoided by just rebooting the phone (Which it can, i've been in the blue-led mode several times to try to guess what it was doing when booted like that...).

From my understanding of the problem, You're half right. Part of the system does indeed come up but unfortunately that isn't enough to get adb to run or to boot into recovery mode or into fastboot. Basically, while you're right that it's not fully bricked and it is theoretically possible to fix it, the phone doesn't have any interface at all to do so. It'd be like trying to fix BIOS settings on a computer when you don't have a keyboard.
NOTE: I haven't flashed the new SPL so haven't been able to run into any problems with it, but from reading other people's descriptions of what happened, the above seems to be the case.
I have a verizon touch pro 2 that is bricked because it was unplugged mid-way through the flashing of an SPL. Not only was it unplugged but the SPL was for a GSM Touch Pro2. Im really desperate to get this phone working. I have a few questions, How do you put a CDMA variant of the Rhodium into bootloader, ive read this: (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium) and tried it but it does not seem to work, what does it mean if the led is solid green or solid orange because these come up when i plug it in, and my computer detects the phone as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, but cannot find the drivers for it is there someway i can get the drivers to restore the correct SPL.
Thanks

Well, if you can get into the bootloader you'll be fine. To do that, press and hold VOLUME DOWN and then press RESET till you see the tri-color screen. Than attach your phone to your computer and reflash your stock ROM.
thats the only problem i cant seem to get it into bootloader mode
try to press and hold VOL Down and Power while pushing the soft reset hole
bootloader
No need for soft-reset hole with VZW. Power on phone while holding VOL down key and it will enter bootloader.
Nate
sadly i have tried all of these methods and have got nothing, thanks anyways guys
you also have to hold the phone answer and end buttons.....
all i did on my vzw tp2 was hold down the vol down button and hit soft reset and kept holding the vol down button and that worked.
Is it the same?
Is this the same "stolen" TP2 that you brought up in the other thread?

And that is the issue young padawan, In reality it is fraud and to fail to disclose the full details either here or on your ebay listing shows even more fraud not to mention a lack of morals. IMHO of course.
And if it wasn't a big deal why did you feel the need to repost without all the facts that were in the original post?
Ok maybe it's not that humble after all.... but it IS my opinion.
MBK
Well to answer his question,,,,,,
,,,,,If it says somthing to the effect of "Qualcomm MSM in download mode" then the bootloader has been corrupted and the chipset has defaulted to a mode that requires tools that he is not going to get his hands on in order to fix it. So yes it is bricked, and I know nothing about his previous posts about it, or fraud, or whatever, but can you say KARMA ????? sure you can, I like the way you say that ;-) <<<<-----Mister Rodgers.....

Ok, so basically I installed a gsm rom on my phone, instead of a cdma rom, now the phone will not do anything, is there anything that can be done, or should i just buy a new phone.
Try to get into bootloader mode. Hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. You should be able to get to the tri-colored boot loader screen. From there attach your TP2 to a USB and flash a CDMA rom like normal.
i tried that, and still nothing, i actually noticed it doesn't even wanna charge
actually it is charging, but nothing else
I just wanna know if you have saved your phone or not.
I was going to flash a gsm rom,but I see your situation now,so..
If anybody know how to change a gsm rom to a cdma rom?
Nope all it does is charge, i cant nothing else to work on it

We have Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile and Touch Pro 2's on both carriers and I did that by mistake on my T-Mobile device. Okay, this is what I did; first, you're going to need a clean sd memory card that will at least hold the ROM you're flashing. I don't recommend you put anything else on this card except the ROM.
One note, you must be Hard SPL'd to do this; if not this is all mute.
The reset button on Verizon's TP2 is located under the back cover on the device's left side just under the volume rocker; it's a red dot that says "RESET".
With the ROM on the memory card insert the memory card; next hold down both the volume down and reset button simultaneously, releasing the reset button first and then the volume down rocker and your bootloader screen with Red, Green, Blue and White with yellow characters will appear. By the way you can also use this procedure to flash your device via sync and PC if "USB" appears in the white portion of the screen if you have an existing "CDMA" ROM on your Rhodium 500 device (CDMA).
Now, I'm going to tell you right from the start this works perfect with GSM Rhodiums; I've never tried it with my wife's device which has God status in this house and I'm not about to piss her off on a wild hunch.
Double check the forum whether someone else has been a victim and it's not all that unusual, though I admit I felt like a real dumbass when I did my device and I got an all white screen. Just remember RHOD500 is your device; you see RHOD210; that's GSM. Take care!

First you should do what SNittyKitty wrote.
What company is your TP2 from?
If that doesn't make it respond write to HTC Support and tell them you install a ROM from there page and now it's not responding. And by not responding I mean the charging light not turning on when connected.
Same Problem
I had someone send me the unlocker for the Rhod500 and it was actually for the Raph. Although I did not find that out until after I tried to flash it. Now I have the same problem. Any luck yet? Also, when i plug in the phone to the computer it comes up in device manager but I cant do anything. I figure if it is in device manager I should be able to fix the issue but I dont know.
If you flashed the raphael unlocker then there is no fixing the phone. It is toast, it does make a nice paper weight
Ok, so ive been rooted for a while, and flash back forth between different roms frequently, Most recently i flashed Mikrunny RC, then the ICS theme. All booted fine, no issues i started to install some apks i usually run, mostly go launcher and go suite... i downloaded go photo as I have never seen or used it before, i clicked register, and my phone locked up. So i pulled the batter and reset, its stuck on the green htc logo. So i pulled the battery again and tried to load recovery, using the vol down, i can get into the bootloader then when i try to go to recovery it again freezes at the green htc logo. I downloaded the PC06IMG.zip and threw that on the phone, figure Ill just reroot and start over (kinda in a panic here as i now dont have a working phone. It finds and installs (restores) off PG06IMG then reboots.... stuck on green htc again.... now the bootloader reads S-On .... but it just wont boot.... someone help me plz lol any ideas?
people talk about bricking a phone
i think it is impossible to brick the evo shift phone. because if you can get to the stock recover screen you can flash the phone back to stock always. no mater what
1. download RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed.exe
2. hold volume down and power to boot into hboot recovery screen
3. plug in usb cable hboot will change to hboot usb plug
4. select fastboot from the list
5. in the screen as long as fast boot says fastboot usb at the top in red your good to go
6. run RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed.exe
7. this will revert the phone back to stock unrooted. wiping out everything.
give this a try. it always pulls me out of jams when i think i bricked my phone.
yea it is saying usb plug, but when i run the ruu it says battery is below 30%, i tried to put the battery in a different phone (dont have a charger for that other phone) and the battery reads 41% the battery is sitting in my shift hopefully charging, but i cant get the amber light to stay lit.... so i guess i should be good if i can get a fully charged battery.
*edit*
looks like im screwed.... just ran the ruu, does the same thing, reboots and freezes on the green htc screen...... any other ideas?
Quick question, were you using twrp2 recovery?
Worst case scenario, since you're s-on you should be able to get a warranty exchange.

ok now things are bad, the screen doesnt work anymore..... i guess its a bad time to mention that this phone was previously crack and chipped to hell, and i just replaced the glass on it. (LCD was fine) now the LCD doesnt turn on anymore... no idea whats going on... i tried to get back in the bootloader to ruu a 2nd time after charging the battery up, and presto... black screen.
i had the same prob i couldnt get my phone to even boot to the htc load screen couldnt get it to boot in to hboot (vol+power) and when i plugged the usb in the amber light come on the pc made the connect sound and then the light went back off so to fix it all i did was remove the mattery take out the sd card and to my suprise it turned back on
installed stock ruu and im back up and running...give it a try cant hurt

I would give what htcevoshiftrocks, said a shot. Like he said can't hurt. But the other facts you should have mentioned in the begining . Had this happen on a Shift I replaced the Digitizer on. If your not careful when your in there, things can get messed up real easy. Also from talking to the techs at Sprint I found out it's a 50 / 50 on the black screen after replacing the Digitizer. They usually just replace the Digitizer and the LCD as one unit, if they do replace it. So I guess if that doesn't work, your best bet at that point is Sprint.
You need to get into recovery wipe /system and /cache and dalvik and reflash your rom.
Also try booting without the sdcard
adb reboot recovery
or adb reboot fastboot and flash again.
But yes, flashing radios will screw up your boot unless you are running a stock ROM for the most part I've noticed.
And YES it is possible to brick this phone but if you're seeing the white HTC screen you're not bricked, yet.
well daemon starts successfully, but 'device not found' when trying to run anything at all. when plugging in the usb cord i can still hear the 'bur burt' sound lol, i just now gave that sound a name. but anyhow, gonna try to let it sit for a while maybe charge the battery up more... idk...
phone does show as charging...

so somehow this actually worked... but now my touch screen isnt working at all, the phone seems to have a mind of its own. Because as soon as it turned on i got a ton of txt msgs and responded to most of them, the phone went to sleep, i woke it up, now no touch screen working. i think its time to just take it back to sprint, anyone have a copy of the latest ruu so i can flash gb?

Before you return it I suggest you RUU to 2.2 and run the 2 OTA software updates. My phone's internal handset speaker wasn't working and doing that fixed the problem. It may help you too. Weird, I know but I just did it and it's been consistently working since. Now I'm in the process of rooting again. I'll post a link to the 2.2 RUU zip in a second.
edit dont use the file I posted use this PG06IMG.zip:

It's funny that this same exact thing just happened to me on my original then happened few hours later with my replacement.
well the latest is, it boots and all the hardware keys work fine, but my touch screen doesnt respond at all.. Im hoping to get to a sprint store today.

Did you run OTA update?
End of the story, I Ruu'd with the GB update and went to the closest sprint store, who directed me to the next closest corporate store, who then sent me to the repair center. So after driving around for 40 minutes, a nice man ripped the phone apart and looked at the motherboard. and said whoa... im guessing this was where you could tell that I had it opened and changed the digitizer myself, he turned around opened a drawer marked returns, then took another shift apart and took the entire front half off and swapped it with mine. put it all back together, it would have been free but aparently assurian canceled my insurance for no aparent reason without my knowledge.... 35 bucks and my phone works again... Im downgrading and rooting now. Gonna take my roomates phone in (also on my plan) with a shattered digitizer on friday to just let them fix it I think.

Lucky guy, my repair center never has any parts and constantly send off for replacements, I swear they don't do any work but sell phones.

That's the point, you get the replacement phone and you have 14 days with 2 phones to take to the repair center to swap good parts for bad especially if you goto a corporate store. The repair center I had 2 shifts, the repair guy even used his own shift to repair mine and I still need a replacement for my earpiece.
