verizon tp2 bricked (help plz)

Hello world
a friend bought a verizon tp2 yesterday (I don't know why because cdma doesn't work in my country ) anyway, this guy open the box, connect the phone and try to upgrade the rom without read anything, in the midle of the rom flashing the phone get stuck and reboot and the phone never turn on again I thought "no problem, I will re-flash it in the tri-colour bootloader", but the phone is dead, no lights, no bootloader, no nothing, but when I connect the phone, windows show a new hardware message "qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM" but nothing happens.
looking the rom used by my friend, is a gsm rom
is totaly bricked ? there is a way to recover the phone?
thanks.
PS: sorry about my english

if you just flashed a custom gsm rom, then you should be fine. if shipped rom, you're f'ed. did you try pulling out the battery for a little bit?
the verizon tp2 is cdma and gsm, so it's usuable in most countries.

no, it wont wokr even if you used a custom rom, as the phone wasnt meant for gsm roms

yes, I pulled out the battery for a entire night, nothing happen, I can't get the tri-colour screen

the flashing software doesn't recognice the phone "connection error", and the power and vol keys doesn't work either
there is another method to restore the bootloader?

No you have a paperwright, does any combination work? does the light atleast come on? was the phone hard spl'd before flashing a custom rom?

no lights, no combination work, the only signal of life is the new hardware message, nothing else.

i didn't say it would work. i said he would be fine because he would be able to put it into bootloader mode and flash a proper rom. Only a gsm radio or wrong hardspl would brick his phone.

VZW Update Bricked my Phone! help please

Hi GUys-
I at one point installed the Energy ROM. I decided I didn't like it and I went back to the stock VZW MR1 update. I realized today that the MR2 update was out so I flashed the phone. It now boots to the white loading screen with the green HTC logo and red text (in bottom left) but it goes no further. What do I do?
Thanks!

It sounds like a bad flash. Put it back into the bootloader (reset while holding voldown) and try again.

Thanks for the reply. That was my first thought, too. Turns out I never undid the SPL unlock, so when I flashed with stock ROM it was messed up. Relocking SPL made it work just fine.

Just for fun, would you please note the steps you followed? Were you able to relock while the ROM was messed up? If not, what did you have to do that allowed you to unlock?
Thanks.

I had the same problem on my sprint touch pro 2, this has happened to me 2 times now, I used to be able to switch roms daily and now my second phone is a brick.

Desire S Won't Boot

Yesterday my fiancée performed some updates from the market. Shortly after her phone turned off.
Now when trying to turn it on the phone gets stuck on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
I have tried booting it in to fast mode by turning it on with the volume down button held and then selecting fastboot.
This allowed me to try and flash the O2 ROM back to the phone. It find the software version on the phone (which is slightly newer than the ROM I have downloaded).
The next stage is "Rebooting in to bootloader" this is where it just comes to a stop, the fastboot menu freezes and the phone doesn't do anything.
Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

Is ur phone rooted or stock? U could try a factory reset...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

It's totally stock other than being unlocked.
If I try a Factory Reset from the HBOOT screen it just locks up. Is there another way?
If I try recovery it turns off, comes up with Green arrows in a circle, vibrates 5 or 6 thimes, then does nothing.

Hope your phone will comes up,try to flash ruu

When you say unlocked, I'm assuming that you mean network unlocked and not S-OFF (via XTC clip)?
I'm afraid that I'd be tempted to return the device from where you bought it and attempt to get a repair/replacement unit.
Sorry that I was unable to help anymore.

Hi yes, network unlocked and not S-OFF
It seems to be like the bootloader has become corrupt some how.
I'll start making arrangments with HTC, thank you.
If anyone else has any ideas or suggestions let me know.

Bricked HTC ONE X AT&T

I checked all the other bricked threads and none have the same problem as me.
My HTC ONE X will not boot and or charge. I cannot get access to the bootloader or recovery.
My HTC ONE X had it's bootloader unlocked via the rogers htc-dev method. I also installed clockwork recovery. It is rooted also but you prob figured that already...
I pulled a bonehead move by flashing the MIUI rom the international one x by changing the update script to flash onto my phone. After it flashed it looked like it worked. When I left recovery and shut the phone off it would not turn back on.
I called AT&T they said they will switch it for me when they get a shipment but I want to keep this phone because the boatloader is unlocked and they might patch the rogers method.
Thanks in advanced.
P.S. I know how to use adb and other tools such as RUU and they did not work.

Have you tried holding the power button for 10 seconds to reset it? You should see the 3 lights below flashing.

Ouch.... Another loss for htc sales

you cant get to hboot? 0.o

First of all, you should be able to get to H-Boot by holding volume down when turning it on.
Second of all, this is why they lock the bootloader in the first place.

H-Boot key combo is not working.
I have been flashing roms since the samsung moment, I built and modified roms on my EVO and ported roms from other phones to the EVO. I always had recovery to fall back onto to get my phone booting again. Even when I had the Xperia Play that required a PC to boot recovery I was still able to get the phone to work. This phone is strange that is will not even turn onto H-boot/Bootloader.

Im glad I have my iPhone to fall back on but it is really annoying that I cannot even get the bootloader to load. I only had it 3 days and already broke it.
Thank God the dude at AT&T cannot get into the bootloader also to see that is was tampered with so they are giving me a replacement.

And people wonder why at&t locks their phones down. I'm guessing you just told them "my phone broke...I have no idea what happened". Just lovely.

Honestly, not trying to call you stupid or something, but did you really think it was going to run on this phone when it was meant for another one? The GPU and CPU are completely different...
Anyway, I'm glad AT&T is replacing it for you. Hopefully if someone else bricks the same way then they will be able to get a replacement as well.

so you are smart enough to use adb, an RUU, unlock your bootloader, root, flash roms.......but you aren't smart enough to see the hundreds of posts saying that the international roms don't work on our phones??

lol

Coming from a phone that is virtually unbrickable (Captivate), I'm quite curious about how you managed to get it into this state. What exactly did you flash? Did the package contain both the system image and bootloaders for the tegra3 one x?

Just pull the batte..... oh

My EVO was unbrickable too, I flashed a rom that was designed for the international version. It only contained system and other basic rom stuff, nothing that was crazy.

No idea why you wouldn't be able to boot into recovery then. I hope all HTC handsets aren't like this..

Please help installing CleanROM 4.5....Stuck in Recovery....

I had my phone rooted and unlocked and was also using CleanROM 4.1 before I decided today to change to CleanROM 4.5.
So, I downloaded the file and went to Recovery and flashed it (it did take very little time with flashing which I found rather strange.) When I rebooted, the phone was stuck at the HTC screen. I figured that I MIGHT have had CWM installed and I didn't know it (I can't be quite 100% sure of this as I thought I DID have TWRP since it was a touch recovery that I had.) Since I was able to boot back up to Fastboot, I said "Let me flash the TWRP recovery file and try again".....Well, I did that and according to the Command Prompt it was successful (showed sending, writing, finished etc....) Once finished, I rebooted back and all I see now is the TeamWin logo in Recovery and THAT'S IT. It won't give me any menu options. If I let it sit, it will reboot back to the HTC screen.
What are my options right now? Is there a specific file I can flash through Fastboot that will allow me to proceed?
I would appreciate the help and I'll be sure to come back and let you know how successful I was. :fingers-crossed:
****BTW, I want to point out that my phone has had this strange message everytime it reboots (over the past few months since unlocked) stating: "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission....etc..." What does that mean? I don't like that message to appear everytime I reboot my phone. Thanks again!

reflash
Try flashing the boot.IMG from the the zipped ROM you were trying to flash to boot partition through the bootloader (cmd in windows: fastboot flash boot boot.img[enter] after you put The boot.img in the same folder as the adb & cd to that folder) and flash cwm for recovery, then you can reflash twrp

In the future I suggest factory wipe even if going from CR to CR. Also, make sure to check the MD5 once you move the file on to your storage.

I did do the factory wipe.
By the way, I tried what I was told to do and nothing happened. It successfully flashes the boot image and recovery, but when it tries to boot into the recovery, it just freezes in the recovery with the word TEAMWIN and a blue background....No menu or options.... I did try several different ways by downloading and installing several versions of the CWM and TWRP, but no success. Any other suggestions? Will I be stuck with this piece of brick now? Please help.

^That right there is normal by the way and will always be there.
Looks like it's time for you to relock your bootloader (don't worry you can unlock it again), download an RUU, and try again.

You will lose the contents of your SD card, which is why you should back that up before flashing. Since you were on CR 4.1, I would go with the 1.85 RUU. If you use 2.20, you will add an extra step or two in when it comes to flashing ROMs. But hey, your phone should work again!

I know, silly me. Usually I backup the data and everything goes well and when I don't, there goes my luck! I really appreciate the suggestion.
One quick question, if in the future I need to have the phone sent in for warranty, is this the same procedure I need to follow? Relock and flash an RUU? Will they not know it had been unlocked before?

I took my One X back to Best Buy to swap it out just before the return policy expired because my gf dropped it and put a small dent in the casing and I didn't even bother to relock or even RUU my device. I said I had a software issue and couldn't get the OTA. They turned it on and played with it and it had a custom boot animation and a ROM on it lol. They also couldn't get the OTA so they approved the return.

it doesn't say RELOCKED when you run an RUU. It gets rid of everything like Tampered and Unlocked and returns the phone to LOCKED. like it came

You should probably double check that. Anybody with an AT&T One X had to have SuperCID to unlock their bootloader so that wouldn't matter. I have unlocked two AT&T One Xs and run the 1.85 RUU on both (one of them a couple times) and I have run the 2.20 RUU on one. every time it says RELOCKED.

Mine did this to when going to 4.5.
I did the following to get back into Recovery.
Use fastboot to flash the boot.img from the cleanrom 4.5 zip.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
I then flashed the recovery (TWRP 2.2.1.4 at the moment) again to the phone.
next I erased Cache.
"fastboot erase cache"
I then used the phone itself to reboot the bootloader and went into recovery. It took about 10 minutes but recovery finally booted.
At this point I had no access to anything on the SD card. so I selected mount and mounted the sd card as disk drive to access it through my PC. I was forced to format the drive at this point and loaded a fresh copy of the ROM onto the drive for flashing.

You probably just got a wrong recovery. The recovery on twrp website didn't work for me. The one I downloaded from the development section works fine.
