Many people complain that they have "bricked" their phones when they really haven't. This thread will hopefully help reduce the questions on all of our useful threads.
How to tell if your phone is bricked:
1.) When you try to turn it on, nothing happens?
2.) Camera+Power does nothing.
3.) Home+Power does nothing.
4.) You flashed the SPL BEFORE the radio
If you answered yes to any of the above 4, you are bricked. You probably need a new board in the phone. Read more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516440 It has been confirmed that you WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade your radio after flashing the new SPL. Not sure why you would want to anyways...
How to tell if you just need to re-flash:
1.) Your phone is stuck on the g1 logo
2.) Your phone is stuck in a boot loop
3.) Home+Power boots into recovery
If you answered yes to the above then you are NOT bricked. You have the G1 Night Light. This is (usually) a very easy fix.
The usual scenario is: You just upgraded your radio and/or the SPL on your phone and now you are trying to turn it on with no luck.
How to fix: After you upgrade your radio and/or SPL, you need to wipe a rom on the phone. For a plain almost stock feeling rom, checkout http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/ if you are looking for hero, checkout the tutorial at g1upgrade.com.
I have also noticed when you flash hero, it will stay on the g1 logo for 5 or 6 minutes and then it'll finally start loading. Make sure your not being impatient and give it several minutes if you have just flashed a rom.
Last step:
If you have installed a new radio, then spl, then a new rom and you STILL get the g1 screen. Try it all over again. You probably didn't do something right. You don't need to ask questions in 30 different threads, your issue is not unique. You just need to search for some answers.

Edit:
Thanks! Updated.
I flashed the SPL before the radio whenever Haykuro released the Hero ROM and I didn't brick my device. Guess that I just got lucky. Thank goodness I know better now. haha
it's possible you flashed the radio prior to the SPL, only a loooong ways back.
Another thing to try if you are having issues is:
su
rm -r /system/sd/*
I was stuck in a boot loop and a quick ext3 wipe did the trick. The command should be able to be ran from console or terminal. You may need to mount /system with:
mount -t -rw,remount -o yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
You would need to type that in between the commands above . I ran across this in another post but i think this is a good spot for it too .
Duplicate post...
thanx
At least I know now how to tell if I bricked my phone or just flashed it badly thanks for this.

many people who flashed the new SPL before the radio are stuck at the G1 splash logo, but cannot get to recovery or spl bootloader / fastboot mode regardless of what they do, so this bit might be misleading...
they aren't technically "bricked" b/c it's loading the radio rom, but it never hands off to the SPL, so there is currently no way of reloading either of those to make the device do anything useful -- essentially a brick

This is exactly what happened to me, it was a brick, sent for repair and they replaced the mainboard.
I have fixed 2 phones that had no recovery and stuck at the g1 screen. If someone has this problem message me and I'll help you fix.
Good Job
Sorry this is off topic. But...
Thank you for this thread!
Ok,
By the way, has anyone figured out what The difference in the baseband is?? I have a U in mine...

really? if it can't get to recovery / fastboot mode nobody has published a fix w/o a hardware swap.
what's your method?
I will buy a bricked one off ebay and post the steps I do to get it back. I can only fix the "Night Light", I can't fix a truly bricked phone (yet).

You aren't going to get any help with sentences that atrocious. Can you be more clear?
I bought the mytouch 3g fender the day before yesterday,It's a nice phone,but i need used other language,so i rooting it by this post:
//forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530
I guarantee that each step is done in accordance with what he said，But unfortunately，i can't enter the system now,it stuck at boot screen.
I tried 3 times，however, the result is the same.
can i go to the t-mobile for help? can they restore it ?
What rom did u flash, the only ond that works is the one cursordroid had in his post
i flashed the cm 4.2 for g2 rom
Flash this. Its the only rom that will currently work for the fender.

thanks,i will try it soon
you didnt read ANY of my instructions in order.
ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.
Again
ONLY ROM THAT WORKS IS STOCK FENDER ROM< AND YOU MUST REUPGRADE THE SPL AND RADIO AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY.
I cant not SCREAM enough about how pointless rooting this phone is for your first time. I cannot belive the amount of people who decided to run out and get this fender mytouch just to root it.
there are no other roms, radios or spls that work correctly witht his rom.
Once a new rom comes out, you will have to repeat the process.
Just stop people.
If you cant get into fastboot or recovery.. or adb doesnt see it at all underl logcat, then its bricked and you didnt follow instructions at all.
So i think i know what i did wrong, but is there anyway to fix it? I have a 32b which i rooted with the "recovery-RA-sapphirev1.5.2H", then i tried to update the radio with the "update-radio-32A-6.35.08.29-signed" (i didnt read the "32A"). Then i tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the "Mytouch 3g" green start up screen, i cant get to the recovery image by holding home+end.
My understanding (please correct me if im wrong) to get the new Nexus ROM was that i had to;
1) Go the the 1.5.2 recovery image & wipe
2) Partition the card (and convert Ext2 to Ext3 or Ext4 depending on the ROM), reboot
3) Flash the new Radio, then reboot
4) Wipe, Flash the new SPL, then reboot
5) Wipe, flash the new ROM, and reboot
Im sure what i did was noobish...
Previously i had been using the 1.3.2 immage and had loaded Hero ROM's and tweeked Cupcake ROM's just fine, it was only when i had to update the radio and SPL was it that i found difficulty, mostly because i found too many and didnt know which one to use.
PLEASE HELP!!!
I'm willing to try anything. I hope i can get this fixed by this afternoon =,(
My first guess is that you are f**ked!
Only 2 "Nexus" roms I know that require new radio are for the 32A. And only new radio I know is for the 32A Magic!
Don't know where you got the instructions to upgrade your radio, but the ones I read stated that you have to flash radio, hboot, recovery in this sequence, and THEN reboot. Also, your recovery should be for 32B, dunno how you missed that one.
Try this: find your old radio image, your old hboot and recovery, boot in fastboot mode (back+power) and type in the following commands from the Android SDK tool directory:
Code:
fastboot flash radio your_radio.img <enter>
fastboot flash hboot your_hboot.img <enter>
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img <enter>
fastboot erase system -w <enter>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <enter>
You should now have rebooted back in fastboot mode. If that worked, try to reboot into recovery and see that works.
Once in recovery you can restore or flash another 32B rom.
See here for Engineering hboot images.
Download recovery for 32B
I found the link on theunlockr.com
developers.com/showthread.php?t=598973
And found instructions on youtube "ECLAIR 2.1 ROM REVIEW AND TUTORIAL !!!" and tweaked it slightly because i found a recovery image for my sapphire which didn't support either the spl or the radio, i forget... I've been up since 3am on Wednesday because of work and school, and now its 9am Thursday.
I was reading that 32b ROMs were working for the 32a, so i thought i might try a 32a since none of the links on Amon_RA's page developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 were working for me.
I cant get to the fast boot menu... so that way doesnt work

I think you are rather screwed. I believe the phone boots up the radio image before the bootloader and therefore you can't even get to flash a new recovery or radio image as the boot process is halted because of the defective radio image.
The only salvation I know if is a JTAG connection. This involves open up and soldering stuff to the mainboard of your phone. Since you're asking you probably not familiar with it I wouldn't recommend it to you.
you have a mytouch 3g right? if so, you flashed the wrong radio image. you flashed the ra(blahblahblah)H! not the ra(blah)G! "H" IS FOR HTC BRANDED "G" IS FOR GOOGLE BRANDED (THE MT3G). so that is your first issue. try to boot into fastboot and flash the RIGHT RECOVERY IMAGE.
wow as soon as I looked at this thread, you made so many mistakes on the first sentence lol. I hope you learn to read and not rush things next time ^^ Recovery H = 32A, Radio says 32A, and you have a 32B and now you can't get into fastboot? I'm 99.9999% sure it's bricked, but correct me if I'm wrong! 32B roms work for 32A when you port them over. Seems like you did almost no research at all.
You're understanding of what to do is right, but you didnt pick ANY of the right files

I agree with KAwAtA. You pretty much did the right steps (kinda) but you got the wrong files and now you got a nice brick. You should do research and know how to tell if your phone is 32A or 32B, why you should never flash the wrong radio/spl for your type of phone, and what ROMs are compatible with your hardware and why you should never flash the ROMs for another piece of hardware.
Well look on the bright side, since you bricked your magic, instead of trying out the "Nexus" ROMs, you can now buy a Nexus One for real but do not ROOt it because you might flash a 32B radio on it and make that a fancy brick.
damn sorry bro. does sound like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong for you. i also went to theunlockr to root my phone and add roms to it but i read those instructions like 3 times and watched the videos a few times when i first did it. oh well, you'll learn from this at any rate.

you can't get into recovery, that's fine, but can you boot into hboot and fastboot mode? if so, your phone will be fine, just have to fastboot flash the right junk on

Well, I BRICKED BRICKED BRICKED my other mytouch. Im talking where the computer wouldn't recognize it, wouldn't charge, turn on, splash screen, NOTHING. Wasn't the battery. If you can get to the screen (where you hold down volume and power) you can probably recover it. DON'T know if this would work but it may be worth a try read this link to get it un-rooted and then retry. http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

I tried the "G" and it didn't work, so i tried the "H" and it worked. Fastboot didn't work...
Thanks everyone for you input... this is my reply to everyone since i cant reply to one/ a few at a time.
1) I knew how to root my phone, and did it multiple times. I also unrooted it a few times as well (just to get a fresh start and make sure i knew how to). I also loaded many different ROM's onto it including Hero and tweaked cupcake ROM's
2) Fast boot did not work, and the computer would not recognize the phone at any point.
3) The unlockr did a good job with instructions on how to root and unroot then loading the hero and cupcake rom's onto it but it had no explanation for loading the nexus rom onto it, although it did feature a link on where to get it. therefore i tried to piece together ways to update the radio and spl (this is where it all went to hell). i figured out that that is what i needed to do to run the nexus rom.
ok, ok now i know, wait for a full set of instructions for my specific phone to try to put the newest and coolest rom onto my phone... :/
4) i got it all taken care of, got "new" phone for free! so glad it worked out.
i tried to root my htc and the screen went black during the update like normal but never came back i let it wait for about 30 min so i pulled the battery but no my screen doesnt work it turns on but no screen i think the driver for the screen got damaged any fixes or just return to HTC
Help pls
Thx in advance
You've likely got an SLCD Desire and the rooting method is different...which guide did you follow?
i followed the hboot 0.92 to 0.80 cuz it was reported to work on a 0.93 aswell by siliconaddict
i had a same proble when i tried to root the device with HBOOT: 0.80 with r6-desire-root-alt but in the middle it got error and on the phone screen green progressbar also stuck after wating for an hour i had removed the battery but now the phone is stuck on HTC logo with four triangle on each side of the screen and also unable to boo the device to recovery menu my device non branded also i tried to restore RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
but at the end it gaves me
"ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR"
Please help unable to find any solution
at least u still have a visual screen i tried to enter hard reset but not joy there
Use this guide...

Does that work for me i currently download the recovery for the blanked screen ruu_bravo_froyo_HTC_WWE
Okay downlaoded trying it now if this works i owe u big time battery was lower then 30 % so have to charge it
Fingers crossed!!
Ed ur amazing it worked
i dont know if i wanna root it with supervision or guidance if u would hit me up via an IM that would be great but i owe u man
Basically you're now on a generic 1.21 WWE ROM. The next step is rooting and using a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM. Use unrEVOked (which is currently down due to a few bugs in the latest version) to root the phone and it also flashes a custom recovery so you can flash custom ROMs
Other way is to just get the 2.2 OTA update to be on official FroYo (you'd need a gold card if you have a branded Desire, mind) if you're not bothered about custom ROMs, etc...

Whatever happened to the unrEVOked btw? What went wrong with the latest ver?
Apparently some HTC EVO users reported it bricking their phones so it's been taken down until the bugs are fixed...good thing if you ask me

You are s on, so you need to flash the kernel with fastboot when you flash a rom, fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract from rom of choice
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
if your s-on have you ever gone to bootloader mode then place your phone into fastboot mode (highlight bootloader then press power button)
on your computer install the htc mytouch 4g slide fastboot drivers than
go to start run or on win 7 just search for cmd
then google out downloading an ADB folder and place it on your c: drive
then on cmd type cd\adb then it should look like this C:\adb>
then on whatever rom your getting extract it to a seprate folder then grab the boot.img file
then place it somewhere like your desktop then your gonna type on cmd
C:\abd>fastboot flash "C:\user\"name of user you have the file in"\desktop\boot.img"
then place the rom you got the boot.img from THE ROM UNEXTRACTED to your sd card then just reboot to recovery then flash the only rom and you should be good
Thank you to both crimedave1987 and demkantor for this explanation!! I was having the same problem as the OP. This was the first time I ever tried rooting and flashing my phone, and trying to figure out what my limitations are with the 1.45.0013 HBOOT has been a bit confusing.
But thanks to you guys, I'm finally up and running a ROM instead of just staring at the stock splash screen!

mytouch 4g slide rom flash / install easy step by step
LMAO OMG Thank you guys!! i missed that simple step had all the tools and i am very appreciative for the help guys
So FYI , the final stages after
HTC Dev unlocks boot loader
install cwm 5.0.2.7
extract your boot.img from your rom zip eg. cm9
goto fastboot mode in your hboot menu
then flash the boot.img with fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" easy command if you place the boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
choose reboot into recovery from hboot after boot.img is flashed
push your rom with adb if you do not have a sdcard reader on your pc or lap or simply copy it over with your sdcard reader
if you get any error about device not found u must mount your sd card in your cwm options before this command will work
"adb push cm9.zip /sdcard"
then choose install zip with cwm
you should already know how to do the last step
thanks to all that has helped me im sooo excite i can now try out different roms now that i got the step
please follow the above it is how i achieved my custom rom installed HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!! XDA ROCKS!
(cm9,cm7,bulletproof)rom.zip -----> sd-card
(whatever rom your flashing)extract grab boot.img and place it on your desktop
DL adb folder place it on C: drive
go to cmd.exe
(ON CMD)
example:
C:\Users\CricketUser>
then type cd\adb
then should look like this
C:\adb>
(I HOPE YOUR HBOOT UNLOCKED)
then power your phone down completely and press (vol -) and (power) and should take you to hboot

(whatever rom your flashing)extract grab boot.img and place it on your desktop
DL adb folder place it on C: drive
go to cmd.exe

example:
C:\Users\CricketUser>
then type cd\adb
then should look like this
C:\adb>
(I HOPE YOUR HBOOT UNLOCKED)

I believe i am temp rooted atm i have custom jellybam 4.0 rom which includes 4 in one roms
everything seems pretty gud so far but i am getting no network bars at all
i have set and checked my apn and still no dice
if i try to make a call it says no mobile network
and my gps isnt able to find me at all even while i am connected on "wifi" connection which im surprised still works
so my what i am trying to fix is getting my tmobile network back up and as well as my gps
idk if its a rom flaw but i dont have any back up of anything cause ive tried flashing so many times and formatted my sdcard so many times i was bound to lose everything eventually after trying to figure out how to install custom roms on this MT4GS now that i have it installed i have no signal wat so ever i even have no phone number listed in my about phone setting plz help and give me any advice u may have or know thank you so very much hope we can get this back up and running 100%
clear dalvik cache and fix permissions (IF POSSIBLE) cause your still s-on or if that doesnt work ..... do a reflash of the rom

So I have done the clearing of the dalvik cache and also reset the permissions no no dice
thank you for your help i am going to next option you suggested
Moving forward... going to reinstall a go later on today I'm off today yay!, and I will repost the results after. Side note: going to also make a list of all my apps so I can full wipe as I have read a dirty install could be possible reason for no GPS n no network service , and not to mention to also let the phone sit for 5 minutes to stabilize but, when is that supposed to happen?? after the ROM install in cwm or after the boot.img flash in adb? Thanks for the help once again ... n from the OP mentioned it doesn't take all the time , is that referring to the boot.img not taking or is it the ROM not taking I just curious as how these things work thanks crimedave !

ohh my goodness! this is a job for Crimedave to the rescue plz help just redid my whole phone completly wiped and formatted everything did 3 complete wipes n waited the 5 minutes through serverall of the steps of flashing just to be sure i wasnt rushing the process, and still im without gps and service bars idk wat the heck to do maybe just go for another rom? but im sure this rom is supposed to work "Jellybam" i will try cyanogen mod 9 later on tonight when i get back home unless you could do some digging ive exhausted all my resources for troubleshooting this issue any advice would be appreciative TYSVM for your time and all you have help this far -Adam
So did you wipe everything, flash ROM via recovery, then flash kernel via fastboot?
If these weren't you're steps then go back and do it again, if they were just flash a gingerbread ROM for now and make sure all is working there

Please Read This.
....and no matter how it may sound in the instructions, always....ALWAYS....flash your boot.img LAST.
BTW....the 5 minutes rest they have been talking about is 5 minutes after your ROM boots up. Just let it lay there then pick it up and you're OFF............
okay here we go again btw thank you demkantor and thank you weekendsr2short for the advice but still no dice at all, so i been searching google and xda forum for a stock rom but there are so many post out there idk which one works i have tried two versions of the stock rom from stock shipped roms and they came back wrong image file

PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.63.531.2_Radio_11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2_blahblah
idk wat pg zip im looking for as i am completely lost i am going to try a few other roms and see what happens if you already know what rom (gingerbread) i am to use please post ty
so i found Blue6IX's Development Related Mirror Site
and there is one more PG zip
PG59IMG Doubleshot TMOUS 1.55.531.3 - Radio 11.59.3504.00 - 11.16.3504.20_2 release 227956 signed.zip
giving this one a shot hope its compatible cause im about to give up on this issue and just say F the whole GPS and Service will update when done
ohhh and btw do i have to flash the 1.55.531.3 Update Insecure Boot.img
cause i would think logically they work in conjunction right? or do i just grab that out the PGzip just like any other rom flash installation
well from Blue6IX's Development Related Mirror Site
trying to figure out wat i need and how to persay get back to stock im totally lost on that blues thread
so anyhow you have all my info except im not on a rom anymore atm going back to some sorta rom to atleast boot into someting
so i can use my phone
never thought i would have to go back to stock to check my phones service to see if it works or not
i tried cyanogenmod9 booted up fine and everything gapps worked but no gps still wondering if i have to do junoputebear wire trick to get my gps on and from wat ive read and see on youtube about gps fixes how they use the terminal to rewrite dev blocks wonder if i should try that route but just a little something i notice when im doing a data factory wipe i get msg in the formatting progress that says mak_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 maybe thats whats wrong wit my pos phone
if you have any more ideas please let me know all im trying to achieve is getting my gps and service back on with new rom software (stock or custom) IDC i was just trying to fix random reboot every now and then resets , if i gotta use my phone under wifi i have to but if everything else works there HAS TO BE A FIX SOMEHOW! uuuuuhhhg im so dissapointed in myself cause im usually good at figuring this stuff out till tomarrow hope i get some new ideas thanks xda
There is a glimmer of hope I have my GPS after tested in copilot app and another GPS app as well but still no service bars at all
The way I understand it is radio should have been protected with my s-on cause I'm not s-off so how could have I lost it idk of I find a solution I will post till then any suggestions would be appreciated ty

It's been a while but as I remember it, you can't flash those images with an Unlocked phone. If your radio got messed up somehow you need to relock your bootloader before you reflash the original or higher image than your phone came with.
If you'll go to ADB and issue the cmd, "adb oem lock", that will set you ready to reflash the .img file. If the image file is in your SD card root, just "adb reboot bootloader" ...and you're off. You'll have to unlock again but you'll have a fresh new phone to start over on.
