Technical Think Tank for Bricked MyTouch3G / Magic

Mirror the similar thread in Dream forum, I started this thread as a constructive and positive place for those of us that have recently lost our MyTouch or Magic.
I am going to document the steps I took and hopefully reverse engineer this issue and also prevent other folks from doing the same mistake. This forum has been and good source of info. Thanks
What I did
Following [How-To] Root the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and I was able to flush to 2005 SPL and root successful as 32A rom.
Then I stop at "For Daredevils" and went with a different route.
I took the MT3G OTA (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) and resigned it with test key and try to update it.
Update was done successfully and radio firmware updated at the same time and once reboot I got red screen of death.
What I got now
Red brick or Red screen of death
Power up while holding 'Back' button, volume down or any other button always result in Red Vodafone logo of death. I can't get to fastboot.
I can't get to recovery or fastboot which mean I can't do anything at all.
What I suspect
Flashing the radio (unclear what ver#) from MT3G OTA build (signed-opal-ota-150449.95700137.zip) might be that reason why it bricked.
Perhaps I probably should have followed the rest of the steps on "For Daredevils" and flash the ION radio and 32B RAv1.2.0G recovery, after that than trying to update with MT3G OTA without the radio.

I read somewhere in the forum (I forgot where), the reason why a bricked phone couldn't boot to SPL and not able to fastboot was because the radio firmware was loaded during SPL startup. Due to issue with loading radio firmware, SPL won't start properly.
Base on that, what we can try is to re-flash the radio firmware. How?
Maybe i can put the radio firmware as update.zip but how can i get the phone to load it when i can't fastboot

It's my opinion. If there is a way, that probably (track ball)+(power), the only key combination we(?) can see .
Let's find a way!

I think we have exactly same problem.
I'm sorry. I misunderstood. But I flashed ION radio. then...I got a pretty red brick!

I do not believe my phone is bricked but I believe it's pretty close...
My Rogers HTC Magic will not boot/load any recovery. I had a fully functional magic for several months using lots of different roms, however I developed a problem with one of the roms and after trying to install a new one, I can no longer boot any rom.
I can only boot into the fastboot screen, which says the following:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

Everytime I try to either boot ANY (RA/cyan version) recoveries from either fastboot or flashing it, it does not want to start up.
I can flash just fine, however I do not know if anything is working correctly because only fastboot is accessible, everything else just sits at a rogers logo.
What should I do next?

you can get the radio img's from htc...
http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

I have flashed the radio and still get only a rogers screen. I also have reflashed everything with original rogers magic files found on the forum (boot/system/userdata/recovery).
Still only have fastboot working
UPDATE: Got Recovery working. I flashed the radio/recovery from a givemeroot.zip I saw for those flashing the mt3g. I believe it can be used on this as well. Next step is to get a rom loaded

Flashed HardSPL and permabrick mt3g
I have been running Hero ROM's with no issues until today when I flashed a Hard SPL because I wanted to try Cyanogen latest. The new SPL bricked the phone, no power -splash- hboot, just a black screen.
The previous ROM's I have been flashing didn't need a new SPL. Are you not supposed to flash the SPL on the mt3g?
Thanks in advance for the input.

ummm... okay, I believe it could be easy goings here, if you go to one of the threads, which I believe you can find fairly easily, to switch radio/SPL through fastboot...
Rogers Magic should NOT use 2.22 radio, but either 3.22 or 6.35, unless of course you are using the dream, which is a different thing all together. Then, push the recovery you want (clockwork or amon RA), if after switch spl/radio, does not work. and voila, theres your fix

Booting Recovery Image Freeze

Hi,
I'm a newbie with android but have spent a lot of time the last few days reading the forums, and I can't seem to find any reasonable solution.
I have a Magic 32B from Vodafone germany.
So I started by following Cyanogens instructions...
. Install_the_Latest_Android_sdk
. Downloaded latest CM recovery
. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image:
* http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/ROM/&file=HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
. Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device:
* http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
. Put both of these files on your SD card
. Plug the phone into the computer
. Reboot into fastboot, and pressed back button until it appeared in a bar. Although for me it was Red not yellow.
. Ran fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
However I received the error of perfect SPLs. So I used the instructions from Amon_RA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Copied ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) to my GoldedSD card.
This completed successfully....However, when it boots in recovery mode I just see a black screen that says htc magic. And it stays there. Left it for about 10 mins and nothing.
I tried pulling the battery, it booted regularly and into Android 1.5.
So I thought I tried flashbooting CM-recovery1.4. Now the flashboot worked at sending over the cm-recoveryAgain, black screen just saying htcmagic.
Can someone please help me, my goal is to load a recovery rom, than install CyMod's Rom. I was following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
For reference, before starting my "upgrade" the phone was:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19 26I

Thanks in advance!
P.S. I forgot to mention, I also tried booting recovery mode without the SD card, and same result.

Can't boot recovery
Ok, can someone at least tell me why I can't boot a recovery image? Are there any reasons?

exactly the same is my situation
that gold card thing just messes things up i guess
now u have to flash a 32b radio and how and where u will get it i am also searching fr it if u get a solution leeme know or update the thread

Recovery image issue....Ok, it seems I figured out why the recovery didn't work.
As you may notice from the status, that image flashed the phone from:
sapphire unknown 32B ship s-on G
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.19 26I
to:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP1000)
CPLD-10
Radio-3.22.20 17
So you need a recovery that is now H not G. (like recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img)
Now recovery is available. So I followed CyM's instructions, just with this recovery image, Erase successful, and write successful.....Fastboot/recovery still working perfect, however telephone freezes on HTC screen during boot.
My thought is I should load an SPL that is G, fastboot RA's G image, then boot into recovery and re-load the CyGens ROM loads (as described).
Can someone with more experience let me know if I'm on the right track.....I was thinking of using RA's update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed as I believe that is a G SPL (not sure), and where can we get a G radio?

That is not correct! You still need to use a 32B recovery image => recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img
G = 32B
H = 32A

AmonRa, since I loaded
ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) from your thread, now my status during fastboot screen reads..H not G.
If i run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img it just hangs at HTC screen.
If I run fastboot boot recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2H.img, I get the recovery menu.
This is why I was thinking of somehow flashing an SPL that is for G, then the G recovery menu, than a G Rom.
So how can I get back to: SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G? And do I need to flash the radio, if so where can I find radio images?
Thanks AmonRa for your help and all the work!

@Amon Ra
i have the same issue as
@iammenotyou
my phone was
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP10000)
CPL-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
the above was the detail i wanted to downgrade it in order to root it so had to use the GOLD CARD method to bypass the model ID check as i had a perfected SPL
so now i have the following detail
SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP20000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-3.22.20.17
so the radio changed to 32a and also show H here after that gold card flashing
i try to use one click root method got flash rec 1.1.3
and i says
" PHONE TYPE IS EBI1/32A "
and try to flash some G recoveries like recovery-RA-1.3.2G.img
and reboot in try to get flash recovery console it stuck on the boot image saying HTC MAGIC while if i use a H recovery image i get the recovery console
now SIR what can be the solution of this problem

waiting for some experts opinion on this

Look on the radio.. He needs a 32A recovery.

brick
Hi,
Well as I said, my unit was an 32B with s-on G. After I ran that package in fast boot it became a 32B ENG S-OFF H. Also the recovery images only the H images would work from this point forward. (which are supposedly not for my device)
So I went and tried to load the radio for the G (from HTC ion site) onto it and rebooted instead of also loading the SPL. So now its bricked. HTC logo screen for fastboot, recovery and regular boot.
So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G. (Although somehow I'm sure it can be restored, better safe than bricked. Now I just hope the service center can fix it)
SaQuibs: Best of luck....One thing you may wish to try since you've been changed to H like me, and can't boot the regular OS, is to fastboot RA's H recovery image, and than wipe and load an H OS like RA-IONv1.6.2H and see what happens. Since it doesn't include a new radio hopefully it will boot Again good luck!

the problem is not with the ROM 2.53.707.2
the problem is with the GOLD CARD coz i loaded a different rom
wat i did was loaded an H recovery and then loaded a 32b rom but it was stuck on boot screen
i have no plans to brick my phone as the country i live in there are no service centres of repairing places and HTC phones are not sold here we have to import and HTC gives no support as well
so planing to sell it

"So I would suggest to anyone with a G unit not to use ROM v2.53.707.2 as that converted it from a G to an H even though the device was supposed to be a G"
the problem is not with the rom its with the GOLDCARD method as i used a different ROM in the same thread
and what i did was i flashed an H recovery to get the console and flashed a 32b rom in it and phone was stuck at boot screen, so thought i bricked my phone but then again i created a GOLDCARD to get back to normal
so now dont want to experiment anymore
as HTC dont sell there phones in our country and so they do not provide any support for us either no center or repair places if bricked

i have posted a thread also and i have also discussed here
sent PM to qtek and Amon_Ra and few other experts on the forum but didnt get a reply yet
lets c if they can figure out something fool proof and can be fixed its good or i will be selling the phone nxt week

Read this post and execute the part to revert back to the 32B radio and ROM.
The problem is NOT with the goldcard, because that works perfectly.
The problem lays in the fact that you don't know what you are doing, and you flashed a 32A NBH onto a 32B without even knowing what exactly you were flashing

Yeah I was too fast, didn't read everything...

So by using the goldcard method you automatically end up with a "H SPL" and 32A radio? Or is there a way to around this, without manually reflashing another SPL and radio.
I have a Magic 32B with a perfect SPL and the goldcard method is the only way to go, right?

i cant install the fast boot
and is that risky?
and lastly with my current status of the phone which recovery can i use and which roms can i load

When you try to flash a NBH from another country/operator the CID check will fail and the flashing will stop. This is done so people can't just flash a rom from another country.
A goldcard (this is what engineers at HTC use) avoids the CID check (CID = Customer ID). This is the only reason why we use a goldcard, it has nothing to do with fixing a perfected SPL, or getting root, or whatever people tell you.
If you have a perfected SPL you can't use fastboot to flash or boot an image.
To fix this you will have to flash a non perfected SPL.
The only way to get a non perfected SPL is to flash an NBH that contains a non perfected SPL.
The problem is that we only have a few NBH's available that contain a non perfected SPL and a CID from another country/operator.
Unfortunately they are also for 32A devices and not for 32B devices.
This is the only reason why you need to get around the CID check and why you "upgrade" to 32A, and afterwards downgrade back to 32B once you have a non-perfected SPL.
If you have a 32A with a perfected SPL you'll only need a goldcard if your CID is different than the one of the NBH you are flashing, you'll also have no issues with a different radio because the NBH is for a 32A already.
If you find an 32B NBH with a non perfected SPL you'll also not have the different radio problem and you might not even need a goldcard if the CID is the same as the one in your phone.
Please be aware that you don't need to fix a non-perfected SPL to get root.
At the time that I wrote the SPL fix we didn't know about kernel exploits so we used this way to get root. In the mean time other ways are discovered to get root (like flashrec etc..). Those methods will however not fix your SPL so you will still not be able to use fastboot to erase, flash etc.
It's always easier to have an open SPL so you easily use fastboot to flash stuff to your phone.
You can also change the CID in your phone to a super CID (all 11111), when you have a super CID you can flash anything you want and you'll never need a goldcard. Changing the CID is something for another thread
Hope this makes things more clear

@Amon Ra
things are crystal clear the problem with me is i coundnt configure that fastboot thing i followed the instructions on android site but could not install the sdk tool and use fast boot
so just wanted to as that if i use an H recovery to get to the recovery console will it work for me can i flash new ROMs
coz i am already tired dont want to experiment any more

[ROM][32A-MT3G] T-Mobile MyTouch 3g Fender Edition Stock ROM with ROOT! [01-25-2010]

This ROM is a nearly stock 1.6 Donut ROM, based on the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Limited Fender Edition. It has all of the T-Mobile apps in it too.
Thanks to crypysmoker for testing some rather dangerous SPL/radio stuff on his phone.
Requirements for this ROM
- MyTouch 3G Limited Fender Edition OR MyTouch 3G 1.2
- Rooted recovery environment
- Stock MT3G 32A Radio and SPL
---- Radio: 2.22.23.02
---- SPL: 1.33.0013
---- Amon_RA Sapphire G Recovery
- Ability to read and comprehend English for the instructions
Downgrade/root your MyTouch3g 1.2/Fender using the normal means. I think the goldcard method works. Check this thread for more information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530.
After rooting, you will have a 32A phone that will not (at this point) have a working touchscreen on any ROM.
Download and extract this ZIP file. http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/MyTouch3g32A/?download=MT3GStockRadioSPL.zip
Boot into FASTBOOT, flash the radio, then the SPL/HBOOT, then Amon_RA Sapphire G recovery, then press Menu to power off your phone. Boot into recovery and you now can flash this ROM. Make sure that you flash the radio, SPL and recovery at the same time without rebooting in between.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot into recovery by holding Home and pressing Power and you can flash this ROM.
Features:
- root, of course
- busybox
- Superuser.apk
I don't have one of these phones, so I'm not sure what works and what doesn't, but I hope this gets you guys back up and running without reverting to the T-Mobile non-rooted ROM. crypysmoker is testing most functions out right now.
Enjoy!
MT3GFender32A-Stock-1.0-signed.zip
Please keep all issues in this thread. Again, please remember that I don't have one of these phones, so I can't directly test fixes for anything. I will rely on you guys for that.
I accept no responsibility for damage to your device, but this is just a ROM, so it's damn near impossible for this to damage your device.

It´s for 32A too?
Thanks.

Thank alot. Im hoping this helps us out trying to figure out the whole no touch screen problem. If anyone can also find the radio and spl that comes with this phone it would be greatly appreciated.
I unrooted lastnight to take the phone back but Ill start again with this as a base..
I will be sooo happy if clicky clicky works lol

1.try this rom first...
2.Flash radio back and try rom, or other rom..
3Flash spl and radio back... but then have no root to fastboot to flash rom lol
This phone has turned out to be a doosey.
Again, main thing that makes me mad, is now it is branded with google instead of HTC now and says 32b rather then 32a which I think may be the main problem.
EDIT-- Oops.. that was a perfected SPL.. re-re rooting now. Amen ras base is still booting. once its done Ill go for this rom.
Ok after re rooting, Im back to where I was with 1.33.2010 and 3.xxx radio.
Board still says Unknown sapphire and 32b, but is branded H now lol

Here's your stock SPL and radio. I warn you though, don't flash the SPL. Use the 1.33.2010 SPL. I'll post a link to that as well.
1.33.2010 SPL
Stock MT3G 1.2 32A SPL and Radio
Extract the SPL/Radio ZIP File and put hboot-1.33.2010.img and the radio.img into one folder. Download the Amon_RA Sapphire H recovery.
Type in these commands with your phone in FASTBOOT mode:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
Apply the 1.33.2010 SPL update.zip through recovery, reboot your phone, then boot into FASTBOOT again.
In FASTBOOT mode, type this on your PC:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone will boot back into FASTBOOT. Check to see that you now have:

fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
Apply the 1.33.2010 SPL update.zip through recovery, reboot your phone, then boot into FASTBOOT again.
In FASTBOOT mode, type this on your PC:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone will boot back into FASTBOOT. Check to see that you now have:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32a SHIP S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
RADIO-2.22.23.02
You will now also have Amon_RA Sapphire H recovery flashed on your phone, so you can boot straight to it by holding Home and pressing Power.
Flash the update file and let me know how it works.

I overly fully appreciate all your help.. but I guess you started typing before I was done lol
Again, main thing that makes me mad, is now it is branded with google instead of HTC now and says 32b rather then 32a which I think may be the main problem.
EDIT-- Oops.. that was a perfected SPL.. re-re rooting now. Amen ras base is still booting. once its done Ill go for this rom.
Ok after re rooting, Im back to where I was with 1.33.2010 and 3.xxx radio.
Board still says Unknown sapphire and 32b, but is branded H now lol
Flashing this rom.......
E:Can't chown/mod system/xbin/su (no such file or directory)

Just to make sure you saw that in case its a rom problem. Going for my radio now. Now i gota get that Fender spalsh back lol

I saw that error on my phone just now too... I'm going to try to fix it.
Give me a few minutes. In the meantime, do you now have the stock radio flashed, with the 1.33.2010 SPL and Amon_RA Sapphire H recovery?
Does your FASTBOOT show 32A Again?
For this ROM, please make sure you have the 2.22 stock radio flashed, from my instructions, along with the 1.33.2010 SPL.

wow...
ok I already had the 2010 spl on so... I flashed radio and all that.
Now my radio is at 2.22.23.02

Bad thing
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32b eng S-off H
Since I followed Amen ras instructions after reading them 100 times.. I for the life of me cannot figure out how I got this to say 32b. it makes no sense to me at all unless there was a major revision to the NAND or other hardware for these
its also doing the fun part like it did when I went to your rom/radio to where recovery just will not boot.

I flashed through flashboot ... Ive been messing with G1's for a while so I know my way around a tiny bit. its just this phone is pain in the tuckus.
Oops, you werent done uploading.... Flashing now....
Radio changed... Info at top did not.. Argh.. what would have made it change?
Since I know the goldcard method works and I can downgrade... Should I try the stock spl also? is it like the G1 where radio is first then spl? If none of this works then somethign has been changed in the hardwhere because the other guy in my thread that got hsi rooted has the same exact problem.

It's worth trying the stock SPL, see if that alone changes the 32B to 32A.
If you have Amon_RA Recovery installed and not the stock recovery, you should be able to leave the Stock SPL flashed.
First flash the stock radio, then the stock SPL, then flash the Amon_RA Sapphire H recovery, then 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' to see if your changes worked.

What is the stock spl & radio ? . . can i try this rom ?

Wouldn't advise it.. it's Fender only (RADIO-2.22.23.02).
Try this Fender rom instead if you want to try it with your current radio/SPL.

DO NOT FLASH IT... those are only for the fender as they are the only ones that allow for anythign to work properly. flashing them to your board may kill your phone

thansk for answer.

I can confirm this works on stock radio & spl Any chance you can add multitouch and netfilter support when you have time?

Hey, Im new to this rooting process and I have a mytouch fender. I was wondering if you guys could post some screenshots of how the rom looks on the phone and what are the benefits of rooting the fender?

What phone?

If you're using RA's "G" recovery, you've got a 32b phone.
Try booting into fastboot and if that doesn't work than you've got a pretty nice looking paperweight.
You might be able to reverse it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591048&highlight=jtag

If the problem is only with the recovery image you should be able to fix it. Boot the phone in fastboot mode (vol-down + power). Then do this:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img
You can get the recovery image here:

I have the exact phone as you do, and am having the same problem! Glad to see this post is getting some responses. Hopefully we can get something figured out. I as well have followed the same steps you did to unlock your phone and flash the new radio/spl. I've tried multiple recovery files and nothing changes, just sits at htc magic screen.

Woah I guess you missed THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!! in the thread about upgrading.
If that wasn't clear enough that it was not for your phone than the revert to 3.22 radio part must have been. (Why? Because you did not have that radio in the first place, and you cant revert to something that you did not have.)
That radio and spl DO NOT WORK on the new mytouch 1.2

Actually, you need to downgrade to the 2.22.23 (stock) radio and "G" recovery. As long as you've booted into fastboot with your goldcard in (missing SAPPIMG) without a "perfect" SPL, it can be done. Total pain, but it can be done...
You may need to "fastboot erase radio", "fastboot erase recovery" and "fastboot erase boot" just before flashing them again. As I recall, it doesn't "take" unless you've done this.
Good luck!

eyegor, you posted a statement from the origional thread stating "THIS IS FOR 32A MAGIC/SAPPHIRE ONLY!!!" But what about the fact that we have a Sapphire phone? in fastboot ours state "SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G" Doesn't that show we have the correct phone? I understand what your saying about the 3.22 radio

The Mytouch 3g Fender/LE/1.2 is not a normal 32a phone. It's unique. If you wanna do anything with a fender or 1.2, make sure the instructions say they're for that exact phone. Stuff for the G1 or original Mytouch 3g or any of it's varients won't work on the 1.2(except for cyanogen's new 2.1 testing rom which has fender/1.2 patches integrated now)

So if the post says its for the 32A, I/we shouldn't assum its for the Fender/1.2? Only use roms that say they are for Fender/1.2?

Every phone of this kind says SAPPHIRE....refer to the rest of my post.

Inspire 4g Stuck on HTC white screen logo.

I know this seems to be a common problem, and that I might have found a solution by searching, but I have looked high and low and can not fix my problem.
HTC Inspire 4g from ATT, it was unlocked when I got it. I used EasyAceRoot to attempt to root it (which I believe I did because I used SU successfully). Seems like everything went well but then I tried to install a custom rom and I have had the white screen ever since. I have tried using an RUU at hboot to restore, but I keep getting different errors, most recently it is error 140. I have also tried loading a PD98IMG with different SD cards to no avail. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks a ton.

Any other suggestions?

You can flash from fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked. Re-unlock.

I don't understand. Why do you need to boot it up to unlock it from fastboot? Your bootloader says relocked. Just unlock it the same way you did it the first time around.

Hey i have kind of the same problem, im tired of try and try to fix it, i think this is the last thing i will do.
Ok i can enter to the bootloader, and also to the recovery, but! when i flash a rom it cant boot on ! i got stucked after the HTC Logo. Also tried to to flash PD98IMG from hboot without succes and the same thing with RUU, in HBOOT the RUU software says that my battery is 30% or less and i have to chargue it, but is full! so have to enter in fastboot mode and it pass that step charguing the ruu but then it send an error that the image restore from ruu cant be completed.
so how do i flash the boot.img from the ROM zip in fastboot?
Btw: S-on AND unlocked bootloader

I already replied to you in the other thread. Please, do not double post your issues otherwise people will be replying the same many times. Ask the mods to remove one of your posts.

It definitely sounds like you need to unlock your bootloader and go into fastboot to flash your boot.img. Hopefully you have a nandroid of the working rom. If you can get into recovery, wipe and restore your nandroid, then fastboot flash the nandroids boot.img. Good luck. Once you get things working, search and get S-Off so flashing roms are easier. I just got S-OFF on my inspire today.
