brick phone on purpose

whats the easiest way to do so...

Sorry, just got to know... why? I would unplug during a rom update I guess. I don't really know.

Microwave it,
You can put it in the microwave for 3 seconds, it will burn the internal antenna and you will not have any signal at all. I've tried unplugging it during the flashing, that doesn't work either. You can still flash afterward. LOLX

The easiest way is to download and flash the free diamond unlocker. It's a lot classier than going the microwave route, lol. Seriously, that's just cheating.

Lol I like this reply.

You could also try unplug the phone while updating to a hardspl

and yet... you completely ignored the most important question asked:
WHY??

usb unplug while update
I was able to reflash the phone with the official room but after finish it show up the white screen without the room version on it, only the Att on it. It keep restart and stuck there i guess the phone is brick now.

Don't worry dude.. it is because the Radio is not compatible, try updating your radio when the screen is white.. It will definitely work. I had this issue once.. but i figured it out and my mobile is fine ever since.. You can find the latest radio on the radio thread...
All the best.. do let us know what happened..

I don't know how to update the radio since it will not do anything. It still can go to bootloader to update room but after complete it will just keep on rebooting and not load the OS. Can you tell me how to update the radio?

updating the radio is just like updating the rom. just download said radio and run the file while in bootloader.

Why would anyone want to try to brick their phone on purpose, to commit fraud and try to get a free upgrade to a TP II.
I am surprised that the Mods let this thread get this far

The problem is that moonlight doesn't have hard spl, so radio-only upgrades aren't an option.

htc charge 393 dollar for repair

I called HTC and the guy said if i send in the brick phone he will give me a refurbished one and i have to pay 393 dollar for the refurbished. I don't know what HTC thinking try to rip me off that much.

Since this thread is to gain via an illegal method.

Flashed mytouch 1.2 with the wrong spl and radio help!!!

i flashed my mytouch with the wrong RADIO, its was for a hero, im just stuck at the spash screen. i already tried to go to the fastboot and tried:
1-recover it by flashing sappimg on the gold card, its says wrong model id!
2-i also tried to going back to the stock mytouch 1.2 spl and radio using the command prompt and androidsdk and all i get its "FAILED <remote not allow>"
any advice???, im willing to give $10 by paypal if some one can help me out and unbrick it im a man of my word
the radio i see on the fastboot is 6.35.10.18 and the hboot is 1.33.013

I did this exact same thing. If you can boot to recovery, you can salvage it pretty easily by flashing an update.zip that has the proper SPL. If not, then you may want to try one of the things I did, which was to remake the gold card, because somehow it got reverted and needed the first sector rewritten. Then you can run the SAPPIMG.zip fix. I hope it works out!

when i press the down volume+power i get into the bootloader and yes i already make another gold card and stills says wrong image id while its reading the recovery image

Holding Home+Power is the way to get to recovery, and remake the goldcard you originally used to initially root the phone.

Sorry, dude. I know I had this exact same issue, and reformatting/remaking the gold card using a SD adapter in my laptop got me back to the point that I could reflash SAPPIMG.zip. What SPL/Radio did you get installed?

let's find anything like sappimg.zip that's suiteable to your phone put on your sdcard and get into bootloader(Home+Power) will help and then flash suitable hboot and radio and recovery then flash some rom. Cheers

didnt worked, but tanks anyways, any other advice?

The default SPL is 'perfected' that means you need to make a gold card in order to flash the Engineering 2010 SPL, then from there you can flash the needed hboot, recovery, etc (ie: click the "rooted" link in my signature)

Your lucky you can even get as far as you can. I didnt realize there was anything besides your basic 32a and 32b. I checked my Specs and thought I had 32a. I flashed both updated radio and SPL for 32A and bricked my phone. Nothing working not even fastboot. I returned to Tmobile and replaced learning my lesson.
If you are within the return just swap it if you can and be careful next time.

Doubtful. Its likely only 5% or so Mytouch owners root their phones. Then out of that 5% another 5% brick them. It is HIGHLY unlikely it affects our prices in the slightest. I have 2 friends who work at tmobile stores and neither of them have ever had a phone swapped during the 14 days due to it being bricked... the thing is its not common enough to bring prices up. They have to meet consumer needs and compete with competitors. I've never bricked a phone before and I'm careful, I'm sorry I didnt realize that 32a and 1.2 were different at first and just wanted to update like I did with my G1. The mytouch is a somewhat confusing phone with all of its variations ( kind of annoying ).
Hell... I'm definitely not going to apologize to anyone for swapping my bricked phone for a new one. Who wouldnt feel fortunate and lucky to save the load of cash by getting it exchanged for free during the return... even if you are the reason its broken??? Put yourselves in the users shoes for a change and realize people make mistakes regardless of how perfect we think we are.
It is important to keep a large difference in contract vs non-contract prices to encourage people to sign up for new activation to get the phone MUCH cheaper than not.

BUMP, any help??

How To Root After 2.1 RUU

YOU CAN'T YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The old root exploit has been patched in the new RUU, so the devs will have to figure out a new exploit.
Hopefully this will stop new threads asking how to root 2.1 RUU...
BTW, I'll post a how to here once it's figured out.
Mods, please sticky?
KTHANKSBYE!
PS. Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up....

Reserved for future post.

where are the instructions? i used ruu and cant flash a new rom

I lol'd a little.
It's pretty bad that in one day I've seen AT LEAST 4 threads started on "how to go back to "blah blah blah" from the RUU.

seriously people jump the gun then are like F*ck how do I root or downgrade..... Lol n00bs

Haha, good one. You had me going for about 5 seconds there.
But seriously, i flashed the official update and lost root. No big deal, I knew what i was doing before i did it. But i'm a tech at Sprint and figured i'd use my phone as the guinea pig before i risked any co-workers or customers phones.
I'm offering the same here. If, and i know thats a really big if, anyone gets root or close to it, i'll try it out with my own phone.

can't you just use the RUU for the original sprint stock from this place?

You can't downgrade the hboot so it won't work but that gives me an idea... would it be possible to take the old RUU and hack it so it thinks it has a higher hboot?

What about the test 2.1 RUU from about a month back, didn't that use the new hboot and still have su enabled? Or will it not worked because it isn't signed with right key.

[FIX] Flashed Wrong Recovery image

Alright, so we all know it's confusing to differentiate the One XL from the One X, especially since Rogers and AT&T insist on calling it the One X.
IF YOU HAVE A "ONE X" FROM ROGERS/AT&T, YOU HAVE THE ONE XL. DON'T EVEN BOTHER VISITING THE ONE X FORUMS.
Now, you've gone and downloaded CWM from the One X forums and flashed it to your One XL, and you're semi-bricked. Let's get you out of that pickle. Please note that I have not done any of this to my own One XL, as there's no ROMs or custom recovery images or kernels for our phone yet. However, just this morning I performed a similar operation on my Jetstream, and the steps will be identical. I take no responsibility for any problems you experience.
First, you'll need to download the leaked RUU that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550930
EDIT: designgears has offered a newer recovery image. I'm not sure what advantages it would bring, but at least there's a second option: http://www.gigashare.in/53885
Please note that this is marked as the AT&T RUU, so there's no guarantee this will work for Rogers. However, your recovery mode is screwed anyway, so in my opinion, it couldn't hurt to try.
Once you've downloaded the RUU, run it. You don't need to install the RUU itself, we just have to have the application running. Once running, it'll create a "rom.zip" file in a temp folder somewhere in your user profile. While the RUU is open, just search for "rom.zip" and you should find it. Open this file and extract "recovery_signed.img" to your computer, into the same folder as your "fastboot" application. Once you've done this, close the zip file and exit the RUU.
Now, boot your device into fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader mode, you may need to select "fastboot" from the menu.
Now that you're in fastboot mode, you can flash the recovery we extracted from the RUU:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
Your screen will go through a couple brief steps, something like "sending recovery_signed.img" then "writing recovery_signed.img" and then "OK."
Try to boot into recovery now, and you should see the standard HTC recovery mode!
I really hope this helps everyone out. I'll iterate again that I have no tried this with my One XL, so I have no actual proof that this will work. But, if you've already flashed the wrong recovery image, you should be somewhat familiar with these steps already.
EDIT: Please post your success with this method. As I haven't tested, I'd like to know if everything's kosher, and I can change the instructions accordingly if something's wrong.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, went to bed.
Here is just the recovery image for a newer, unreleased leak.

It's AT&T recovery.

Flashed but still having trouble. Got into recovery but can't boot.
Going to see if re-locking the bootloader may help. Only thing different I've done is that I ran that flash_boot.zip thing that Leedroid had on his page. It just seems to push a boot.img file and clear the fastboot cache.
Does anyone have that particular boot.img file? Pretty please?

For myself I will leave it for now and wait until an official rogers RUU or custom recovery to make sure I don't break it again

The rom.zip file from the AT&T ruu should have the boot.img file in it. you can flash it with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
However, the boot partition is a WEE bit more critical to the phone's function than the recovery partition. Dunno if I'd be flashing it myself, at least not to a Rogers phone.

Thanks, man. Someone said they flashed the entire RUU to their Rogers phone so I don't think it could be too harmful.
I only have my Ubuntu machine and Wine is being fussy and not extracting the rom.zip archive properly. I'll see if something gets released soon. I rarely see Rogers RUU so hopefully I'm not waiting too long. Reactivated my SIM for my Galaxy Nexus but still sad lol

One does not interfere with the other. Recovery is pretty much its own operating system, completely segregated from the rest of the phone. It can neither hinder nor enhance the booting of your phone in normal mode. You could theoretically flash a random sequence of ones and zeros to the recovery partition, and the phone would continue to boot just fine. Until you try and go into recovery mode that is. Flashing the recovery_signed.img as per my instructions is safe in regards to the phone's normal operation. I can't promise that it's a working recovery, however, as I've not tried it myself.

Awesome! Just booted up, my man. A thousand fellatios to you!! Please message me your Paypal address so I can buy you a beer or two.
Haven't tried the Cingular ones but the AT&T ones worked just fine. I'm betting it'll be damn near identical, save probably a few radio adjustments or very minor adjustments.
Booted to the main screen so I should be able to set things up. But I'll chime in and report if there are any major issues. Thanks again!!

Hey I am happy your phone boot up man!!
I am still having trouble with the recovery. I try flash the att& the cingular recovery. good thing is no bootloop I see an image showing black phone and a green circle. then I end up with image of a phone with red triangle with a "!" inside. and then the phone reboots.
am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried running "fastboot erase cache"?
What other steps have you done as well? The killer for me was the boot.img file that Leedroid created as part of his ROM installation. The AT&T recovery is what I had used. For a moment I thought I might need to try flashing the system.img file like redwreck had to, but I didn't need to.
Perhaps someone could upload that as well, please? If you need to flash that, it's "fastboot flash system system.img" and it'll flash that too. I always do "fastboot reboot" after as well.
I trust that these should work. Hopefully there'll be a full Rogers RUU so we can flash that just to be on the safe side. Best of luck! I'll keep an eye on this thread as well.
Since I posted earlier I've been setting things up and it's working like a damn charm. Tried exhausting every weird and quirky feature I thought might screw up, but I can't find anything that's not working.

OK, that's what I was hoping to do. I noticed in the JB instructions that it said I must be a stock RUU not a custom ROM or something to that effect. I am on CWM 5.Something so a rom flash is NP. Any recommended ROMs? I.e One that worked for you? I tried the wire trick about 100 times over the course of an hour or so(on cm9.1), but then reread the bit shout the rom again.
Thanks for all the responses so far!

Any stock based ROM will do. I went with MikTouch myself and it worked like a charm! (on the 4th try so be patient....)

Awesome, thanks brotha

well, one down, one to go. I have my phone all dialed in...now its time to fix my wife's... Thanks again Gents! (& Ladies, as applicable!)
edit: well, hers is done now... I ended up using another SD card, the original one I tried was kinda old, but the newer one I normally use worked on the 2nd try... didnt lose any data either... her sd card on the other hand was toasted and needed to be reformated... anyway, both phones are now S-Off!!

Man, that's GREAT! Once you knew HOW, the process was nothing for you. That's a far cry from most. Way to go!

yeah, Ive been running root since my MT3G way back when...couldnt stand how laggy that thing was with all the bloat... wasnt even that great with CM6 but still night and day better than stock (=hooked on rooting). then upgraded to the MT4g and now this thing... was fairly concerned about all the extra hoops but wouldve just chosen another platform had I borked it...glad I didnt, saved me some funds!
On a related note, what radios are you guys running? Are there any issues between the GB radios and ICS ones? Im assuming so, but with the custom ROMs/kernels anything should be able to be overcome I'm hoping... I know I def. had issues on CM7 -> CM9 on the reg. 4G when swapping radios...

I don't generally swap my radios around since there are only two that I'm aware of. But I DID find that the new one (when I replaced my phone) seemed to lock a signal a bit quicker but for me the original radio gets MUCH better phone reception. Depends on your phone I suppose.
(you'll be glad you went with this phone though. basically a Sensation with a keyboard)

cool, I just flashed the older one today... been having really crappy recption on campus lately (esp. since switching from the MT4G) better reception is what I'd rather have... ill give this one a week or so and see if I think its any better... I like the phone a lot already... i still use the soft keyboard from time to time as I forget the other one is there, but it comes in really handy on certain sites...

Hello guys, I've been lurking the forums for hours trying to find a thread with an issue close to mine, and this is the closest I got. I followed all the necessary steps on the first page, but the problem I'm having is when I try to flash the PG59IMG.zip file, it says "Loading... PG59IMG.zip", but then it says "Checking....PG59IMG.zip" and afterwards it says "Wrong zipped image!" Any ideas what it could mean? I just want to get it back to stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.

THIS MAY HELP YOU

Thanks for the link. It said I need to relock the phone in order to flash the image, but when i type "fastboot oem lock" into command prompt, I get a message saying 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, inoperable program or batch file." I'm guessing this means my fastboot wasn't set up correctly, but I don't know where to go from here. As always, thanks again for any help or advice.

It was made for the g2 so don't use the drivers in it, but it will at least give you an idea of what to do

Does fastboot work like this
./fastboot oem lock
On my PC some of my fastboot commands need that.

Thanks so much for your help guys. I followed the instructions on the pathing link, and the phone is currently flashing the image. I'll post a final time once I can confirm everything is fine.
