Newbie sayin please HELP think I bricked my phone :(

Hi guys, first of all I just want to say thank you for this forum.. I ran into it a while back and was inspired to buy a kaiser just because of you guys. I have an iphone right now and I really want to replace it with something that has i don't know user accessible memory, MS office, GPS and the list goes on so I bout an At&t 8925, I got a good price on it and was very happy to finally able to get rid of the iphone
anyway I received the phone a few days ago and proceeded to do a sim unlock to use it with t-mobile after playing with it for a little while, I have already read the wiki, and lot of posts and searches..
I dnloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583 and plugged in the phone made sure activesynk connected and flollowed the instructions...
It went through the first step (hard spl) without a problem and I think the second step went well also. After that I begain the third step and the program froze, I waited for almost an hour just to be sure (windows also said it was 'not responding') I finally had no choice but to restart my computer, (its vista)
Anyway I pressed the power button on the phone and the phone acts like its booting up, I see the at&t screen, then it goes to the 3g screen and It just goes to a blank, black screen. I am still able to connect it to my computer and access the phone. I can access the 'boot loader' red blue green screen
I did a soft reset and tried to reload the unlocker porgram but nothing happens, I am stuck and I havent found out what to do through my searches can you guys help me out I am really new to this phone
I even took the time to downgrade my computer from vista to XP (finding all my drivers was a ***** since my computer was shipped with vista) but I found them one by one and still no luck loading the unlocker
one thing I did notice was that the bootloader screen now says "security unlocked" on top, not sure if It did that before
Thanks for all the help
Thanks

all you have to do to fix your phone is flash a new rom onto it. just open the boot loader and run the ruu and it should fix the problem

that's because you need to install a wm6.1 rom on your phone to use this unlocker. you would have found the answer if you read the thread

hence why I wrote a message box on Step 2 stating "you may need to upgrade your phone to WM6.1"
****ing idiots.

[Q] I just need a little information

Hey guys I like this community and would love to get more involved. I was wondering if some of you could help me understand some of the lingo around here so I can get better acquainted with what I am doing. I would like to load a cooked rom onto my HTC Touch I have the sprint version, but I went to the touch section on the forum and it feels like I am trying to read another language >.< so if anyone could help me understand some of this I would be greatly thankful, thanks in advanced

cooked roms are custom roms. your provider locks your device to only ve able to load roms that they provide... therefore you need to unlock your phone to be able to flash it (through hard spl.)
here is a link on flashing your first rom.
Just follow directions and you will be fine (BUT MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THEM OR YOU WILL TURN YOUR PPC INTO A VERY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT)

Wow thank you tons for the quickness of the reply

no prob

Everything went fine when I was going through the steps, and everything seemed to be going right through the HardSPL step three, but when my phone restarted itself, I got nothing but a backlight I hope I dont have an expensive paper weight >.< Is there anything I can do to fix it?

what phone are you using

Im using the HTC Touch by sprint, but now instead of black it is The HTC smart Mobility screen

The thread i gave you earllier was for a refrence on how to flash....
I'm guessing you tried to install something from that page. (that page was for the kaiser)
You can only flash things made for your device.
Here is a such thread with some refrences to the correct things you will need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458449
PS: if you think you bricked your device here is some info on unbricking
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906

Yeah no it's completely bricked now I cant even get it to turn on :/

If you can get to the bootloader on your device by following the instructions here you can save your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362768
"hold the end key and the side camera key and stick the stylus into the hole"
you will need to hold the buttons till after the screen comes up (if you can get it to come up)

Yeah I cant even get my phone to turn on now Im guessing its done for good :/

My touch pro 2 has been bricked

I posted this in another thread as it was similar (though for tmobile), but I believe I haven't gotten any answers there I was hoping to try here:
I was installing winmo msn messenger. It installed fine and reset my tp2 fine. It goes thru the tp2 splash screen, the verizon splash screen and the winmo splash screen. Then it shows owner information and this is where it gets screwed up. Owner info will stay up forever if I dont touch the screen. After touching the screen the only thing left will be the top bar and the rest of the screen stays black. The only things on the top bar are the signal icon (which always has an x), the wifi icon (which seems to be connected fine lol) and either owner info will still be in the upper left or the start menu will be there. Hitting the screen only causes my tp2 to beep.
Nothing I know how to do (which is basically just hard and soft resetting it) works. Verizon can't fix it (didnt think they would be able to) and I can find no drivers (possibly cause I'm still a noob with winmo) to resolve my issue. I'm not even sure how I'd get them on as it wont even sync up to my computer and my computer cannot find its hd. If I could get a rom for the verizon one I think I can figure it out from there with no issues...but htc website sends me to verizon website for support and vice versa. The htc wiki is the closest I've gotten to an answer...but no rom to download. The only OEM roms I can find anywhere aren't for this phone, unless one of those will work? You guys are the experts.
Does anyone know what I can try? Verizon wants me to return it but cannot tell me when I'll get my new one as they are out of stock...again. Please help lol! Thanks for any and all help because I NEED a phone and can't wait around for them to decide to include them in the next shipment, nor would I appreciate being given some other type of phone in the mean time simply because I paid for the tp2, if I had wanted another phone I would have bought it instead.

if you do just a litle searching over at ppcgeeks, there's info about shipped roms and where to get them. (not sure if its kosher to post a direct link to it or not, given that these are shipped roms). hopefully that will help, otherwise, dunno what to tell ya.

First off, I can tell you that installing MSN Messenger would NOT brick your TP2. There are other problems with the phone, most likely a bad mfr rom. If you performed a hard reset (You did didnt you?) it would reload the factory rom.. so if your phone is still bricked, your factory rom is hosed, or your phones hardware is hosed. Installing MSN Messenger would not do this by itself.
Learning from trial and error is a tough road. Return the phone for a new one while you still have the option. You got a get out of jail free card, now is the time to use it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by mfr (I'll hit up google after this) but I can tell you only what I know. My phone worked fine for 3 days. Once I got it set up like I wanted and was ready to start installing other crap I did so, I started with MSN.

Yup got the hard reset in there, it just didnt do anything. However, one thing I did not was that there were numerous postings with different ways to hard reset the device. The only one I could get to do anything at all was pressing volumn down + reset while the phone was off but it stayed at the tri color screen without much else going on...so I coulda just done the wrong one or did it wrong all together. If I did please point me in the right direction.
Like I said before I can't say if it was screwed from the time I first turned it on as this is my first smartphone and first experience with tf3d (I've had many pda's though) but it had been soft reset multiple times prior, along with a couple of hard resets, and had no issue bouncing back from those. Reset after MSN install...hosed. Not that I'm saying your wrong, you guys are the experts here, but from what I've experienced regardless of what caused it msn will certainly not be going on my next smart phone. I'll opt for one of the all in one apps like I was going to before I decided to go with a name I trusted.

Got no choice about this. The only issue I have with this is the fact that they can't tell me when I'll get my new phone. Plus I have only 1 of 2 choices:
1. Mail my phone back and get a refurbished one in return....uhm...no
2. Take my phone back to the verizon store I got it at, get my refund, and hope to god that I can get another one the next time they get it in stock.
I'm not trying to ***** and complain...just trying to find a way to fix it without a)paying 300 for a refurbished phone, or b)going an unknown amount of time without my phone.

does your start menu drop down when you hit it? When i go to settings/today/items and uncheck the TouchFLO 3d my screen is just as you describe. Its pure black with the top bar available. Did you check to see if the touchflo 3d is turned on?

You went into boot loader mode. I did a hard reset on my sprint version but I dont remember how technical support told me. I think it was power off the phone. push and hold 'up' volume key, then hit and hold the reset switch till the phone boots. This will start off looking like a normal soft reset, but it will take much longer, your phone will be erased of all info you put in and it will do an instalation of software and reboot right before touchflo starts . I dont think you will ever get a tri-color screen (i could be wrong), which is what you get when the phone is expecting a rom flash from a computer. the whole process probably takes like five minutes, and theres a spot right after it starts it looks like your phone is doing nothing (Leave it be!). I've been messing with a lot of phones recently, and i dont remember if you got to hold the up key and reset button till you get a hard reset warning or not. (it might tell you all your data will be erased, and whether or not to continue)
edit:
just did a quick google and confirmed it on my sprint touch pro2. push and hold 'send' and 'end' key. Using your teeth, push and hold the 'reset' button with the stylus. finaly, push the power button. (all three need to be pressed down when you hit the power). the tri color screen flashes, then a white screen warns of the reset and says push 'up' volume key to continue, any other key to cancel. Hope this helps.

When you did the hard reset, did you get a warning that all data was going to be erased and where you asked to enter something to confirm? If you didn't, then you have not done a hard reset.
I had to try several times to get mine to hard reset. Even though I hit the proper keys, the phone would just soft reset, not hard reset. I can see how you can easily be fooled thinking you did a hard reset if you don't know what to look for.
I think there are different key presses for Verizon vs Sprint. Make sure you're using the right one.
BTW, "mfr" = manufacturer . . . i.e. HTC

Confirmed. The Verizon HTC TP2 Hard Reset is the same as T-Mobile but is different from Sprint.
With POWER OFF, hold Volume Down while pressing SEND (green) and END (red). It takes about 4 seconds to take. WARNING: THIS IS A HARD RESET, BACK UP YOUR CONTACT LISTS AND DATA. EVERYTHING BUT YOUR OEM INSTALL WILL BE WIPED.

I actually ended up calling HTC about 6hrs ago (5 pm est) and they did confirm what i had already started thinking. Verizon tech support has no idea what the hell they are talking about when it comes to this phone.
@spunks74 you're absolutely right, this is just what htc said and is where I finally figured out....verizon needs to get this phone in their techs hands instead of giving them pictures and text.
@DragonNote this is exactly what htc told me after they told me verizon didnt know how to hard reset. thanks for the info, even if i called htc before checking here. thank god im obsessive about backups or I would have been screwed because once this happened....nope no way to do anything at all. Also, for other forum members that may not know, the link you provided (for t-mobile) is completely different than the link for the hard reset for verizon:

which is why i was at such a loss during this issue...I couldn't get that far lol. I read sooo many different ways to hard reset the phone but none worked. obvviously i never checked to seei f the different providers would hard reset different ways. i just assumed they would all reset the same way (i guess this time assuming only made an ass out of me) so i found myself looking at ways to reset the touch pro 2 and ways to reset the rhocium, which is where all the different variations can be found.
@mjcole2003 Without touch flo i recognize the gui right away, and the first time it happened i did think i had just jacked up the flashy gui, but while it was the bare winmo gui there was nothing I could do. any screen touch, any keypress all ended with the same outcome I'd touch/press and the device would only *beep*

copy that. my condolences for your loss. I would have them replace it immediately. Too much BS for a new ppc. Only makes you wonder what else is wrong with it.

Why don't you do a hard reset via Clear Storage in settings? This surely seems like something that can be fixed with a hard reset.

Because as the OP said he cant do anything inside the GUI. IE hard reset is only option.

Phone completely Dead

So I lent my brother my nexus s that had cm7 on it. He got into the clockworkmod, went to mounts/storage, and proceeded to format everything (bootloader, boot data, etc. everything in there) he said he thought that would fix the force closes, I figured no biggie, but now I can't even get the phone into download mode and I have no idea what to do, the phone will simply not turn on

wow.... dont even know why he would do that.
rule 1: dont lend people your phone.
and i dont know why you would try and get into download mode, Odin isn't the first thing you want to go to.
1. turn the phone off (if it isnt already)
2. hold volume up + power
... what happens? does bootloader mode pop up?
- plug your phone in your computer's USB
- does the sound for USB plugged in occur?
- does computer detect it?

Can't access fastboot.
Phone sometimes recognizes it and says this device is not recognized and it couldn't install the usb driver, sometimes when i plug it in it does nothing.
Didn't want to lend it to him, had no choice. I told him he should have just fixed the permissions on the phone, but then again he's not exactly android literate.

thats just dumb on his part.. i dont know why he would try and mess with your device. if it has problems, just ask you first.
its probably bricked if you cant access download or bootloader... definitely bricked if the computer is unable to detect it
your only way out of it is to get a replacement

In Device/Drivers of windows under Unspecified there's this:
SEC S5PC110 Test/BD
says drivers are not installed

Anybody out there with a solution?

I think there is more than one driver you can try, though I've never flashed anything in Windows (Linux already comes with the driver ), so I don't know for sure. I think I've seen people mentioned a few drivers before, try search for all the "brick" threads here.

Easiest solution might be to download a Linux live distribution (f.e. ubuntu) and run fastboot from there. No need to install any drivers.

Kicking him in the nuts will probably make you feel better... I don't know if it'll fix your phone though.

Ddi you ever get your phone sorted ? I'm now in the same situation !

Yes, hit up http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=970 For 50 bucks they'll fix your phone and ship it back to you in no time. They got my phone on a Friday, I got it back on either Monday or Tuesday. Of course they're based in Texas and I'm in STL so it could differ for you, but the point is, they're fast, reliable, and professional.

Thanks for that - I'm based in Ireland but I'll give them a shout and see if we can do business......

Thanks a million for the reference PUMA. Please contact me when you are in need of a brick fix. I fix hundreds of Galaxy S / Samsung / HTC variants and several others in a brick of nearly any scenario. I've devoted a lot of time to providing and almost unseen service to people in need versus parting the phone out or trashing it.

True Brick...QHSUSB_DLOAD

Hey guys...As a few of you know, my phone met its demise last night for (seemingly) no reason. I had recently backed up my ROM through Rom Manager and tried out a few themes from the market.
Anyways, when I plugged my phone into my computer, I see that it tried to install some drivers and then I see "QHSUSB_DLOAD" as my phone.
Ive noticed that all TRULY bricked phones (not just the sensation) all have this "QHSUSB_DLOAD" in common. No one has yet to figure out what this is or how to fix this.
Tmobile chalked it up to hardware failure and has a new (likely refurbished ) on its way.
I think we need to figure out what the heck this is. A few mentioned a connection between Rom Manager, CWM, and QHSUSB_DLOAD. I, for one, will make dang sure that Rom Manager stays off my phone...Any other ideas?
Until this is worked out, its VERY likely that rooting COULD randomly cause the dreaded true brick, QHSUSB_DLOAD style.
Matt

Just swayed my decision on wether to root or not.

So does it turn on? You are a bit unclear about your situation. Does it charge, when you charge it. And does the PC recognize it when you connect it to the PC?

Actually this is well documented. You are in Qualcomm high speed USB download mode. It is typically caused by a problem with your processor and or it's software. Either it is crapping out or more likely something corrupted the software, either by flashing a custom kernel that isn't 100% stable with the hardware (since kernel source for this phone is incomplete this IS possible) or it's just bad luck. Voltage tweaks can have a long term detrimental effect on hardware.

Hey guys, it is dead as a door knob.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321110
That ought to sum things up...
Im sure its bricked...I just want to look more into this as I have yet to find a single case where this was solved. It just gets pushed aside since no one knows.

I was using cm7, build 9 and fauxs kernel build 8. I dont do UVing or OVing and have kept the CPU speed to 1.18Ghz.
My computer told me that it failed to install whatever it felt it needed.
So this is known? Am I correct in thinking that this is a 100% brick then, or is there anything, save from tearing it open, that can be done to fix it?
Although I have a new one coming, Id like to get to the bottom of this for everyone else.
Matt

Well, yes...and no. For all intensive purposes it is bricked, however, if it's just software HTC (or anyone with a leaked loader) could recover it easily. If it's hardware then nothing can be done. You can find the Qualcomm drivers online but still need the loader (all I've found are motorola sbf's nothing for HTC). Basically you did the only thing you can at this point, but now you have a little more info on it.

Someone could get an XDA style Nobel prize for coming out with something that could fix this phone when this happens.
Im guessing that is what a JTAG does? Would be great once warranty time is over!
I am suspicious this could be another build quality issue with HTC...Day one with this phone had the same sort of thing happen, but it eventually booted. Perhaps this was just waiting to happen?
Or, I wonder if it is related to CWM and Rom Manager? This seems to be a RARE occurance considering how many people flash the above mentioned ROM and kernel without this happening. The last thing I did before charging was backing up in Rom Manager.

Jtag is a little extreme as it involves soldering and messing with internal components, plus don't think it's been done on this chip set, but I could be wrong. The ROM is usually less of a concern then custom kernels are. Also ROM manager sucks and many times is very buggy. It is safer to do all those kinds of things through recovery. Uninstall ROM manager and forget it ever existed (just my opinion).

Okay, how about this...I intend to S-off and reinstall CWM the SECOND I get my new phone. LOL...Should I erase my ROMs+kernels from the SD card and start over from scratch, or can I just boot up again like nothing happened?
I guess its safer to start over, huh?
EDIT: I have been reading over stories involving a hard brick and QHSUSB_DLOAD. It seems it ALL came from SD card partitioning in CWM. I was also in recovery that day restoring my ROM when I accidentally touched the screen and the phone rebooted. (After restoring) I thought it was just rebooting recovery. I wonder if something else happened? The phone booted up fine and worked for some time after. The last thing done was charging the phone via wall charger, seeing it was done, and then unplugging.
Matt

it may not be necessary, but I would. I'd just redownload all the software I plan on loading from the start and give it a clean slate, but that's just me. Also be very careful with resorting apps and data since we really don't know the total cause of your issue. All in all you probably won't have to deal with this again as long as you minimize your risk.

nice. maybe there are aliens inside your phone! Just a thought as it seems everyone seems to just turn around when they see this problem. some of the brave ones got taken by the aliens too for snooping out too much

Yea, I never saw this happening to me. I read carefully before I do anything and have never tried anything fancy.
Im guessing that QHSUSB_DLOAD lets you know the phone is fully erased and waiting for something to be flashed the elite way? (From the factory via their gadgets). To date, NO ONE has recovered from this.
Man Id love to be the one to recover! I crapped myself when I saw QHSUSB_DLOAD mentioned on my computer. Its the kiss of death.
I also have to wait till next week to get my replacement despite me opting for the fastest most $$$ method of shipping. UPS Express is the fastest and will take till monday (which means tuesday since no one will be around to sign for it).
Ugg..

Doh! that just sucks Matt. but then again, thats way better than having some hardware issue and being fixed (anything with hardware issue fixed surely ends up going back to the guys that fixed it. they seem to put some time bomb in there so you'll go back crying to fix it again and again. lol) haven't had this issue ever since.(was flashing my phones way back then) maybe im just lucky. hopefully i will not encounter this. (the only thing I bricked was my brand new PSP2002. just bought it from US and im way over in NZ mate - didn't have a option to return it. )
where does this QHSUSB_DLOAD appear? would this come up when you turn the device on? because i've seen some devices that are bricked, they just lit up and goes off and never charges and can't go to bootloader. thinking this is 100% bricked or this QHSUSB thingy is the pure brick?

(the only thing I bricked was my brand new PSP2002. just bought it from US and im way over in NZ mate - didn't have a option to return it. )
where does this QHSUSB_DLOAD appear? would this come up when you turn the device on? because i've seen some devices that are bricked, they just lit up and goes off and never charges and can't go to bootloader. thinking this is 100% bricked or this QHSUSB thingy is the pure brick?

The message QHSUSB_DLOAD appears the first time I tried to connect via USB to my computer. It showed up on my computer down where usb notifications occur. After it told me it couldnt install hardware, that was it. No more action from either the phone or the computer. Its like the world just passed right by my poor phone.
Maybe I will get lucky and get a phone free of dust as well! I was waiting on calling in that care package for later...Oh well.

Oooh nice! so the device really has a black screen and that message appeared on driver installation on you computer.
most of the people in the net just mentions that this driver is missing. If the driver is missing, maybe it did really get corrupted(software because of rom-manager not pointing to this ) but yeah, could also be hardware failure. did it say on your computer that it was installing some drivers for that QHSUSB_DLOAD? and it failed? what about HTC? did you see anything from HTC about this?

Hey guys,
I'm in the same situation too.... I've been flashing hundreds of roms and all kind of software on a lot of different android phones...but this is the first time ever I came across something like that where I feel that this is the end of it!!!! I made a mistake...by not paying attention flashing an HD2 rom to my sensation!!! You know some time s**t happens... and here we go...I got a completely dead bricked sensation with nothing i can do, even I've been searching and reading for 2 days with no luck what so ever...so I guess no one is able to find a solution for this issue yet!!!!Which is too bad: confused: .I wish I was able to find some solution to this problem so I can get my phone back to life and help every one else who might end up with this issue. Because I think a lot of people might be in this situation!!!. I tried every thing I can possibly do with m y knowledge and the results was all dead ends. I just hope that this issue will be taken to the next level by some one...like all the other phones that it can be unbricked...so why not the sensation!!!?. Any one can come up with and ideas for this please help us as a community to get pass by this dead end on our Htc sensations.

Guys i have absolutely same problem with my sensation, i believe there must be a way how to bring our phones back to life. Im sure that on my phone its just software problem caused by backing to s-on(got bricked right after adb rebootbootloader). So if some1 find out how to unbrick, PLEASE post it. I dont want to solve it by warrany, because its little far for me :-(
