Hi,
i'm trying to install the newest radio 2.22.19.26I, and i found that in to install http://jf.odiness.com/RC33/RC33radio_update_testkeys.zip
i copied the file into my sd card, and rename to update.zip
i install that stuff... and puff¡¡¡¡ now i only could see the vodafone splash.... anyone could help me?
Thanks
===
I have read some forums on here, xda, to unbrick G1, and i saw something to do that, but i don't have acces to the adb interfaces, none it's connected case the terminas, when it's on, only say "vodafone" splash...
help pleaseeee
no soucy
did you make a backup (to restore backup you should have haykuro spl)?
another solution : take your sdcard from the phone and put it in your pc.
then replace the update.zip file by a new rom (haykuro made one in english or another one in multilanguage based on french sfr htc magic)
put sdcard into your htc and make the same think (home+power) and apply update
don't worry, your htc isn't dead
Hi neomorfeo,
I'm not being helpful here but I just want to ask, where did you find the radio update?
As far as I know (maybe I'm wrong) that radio update, it's only for the G1, not for the Magic.
For example, if you go to the official HTC webpage, you will see that they clearly say that the ota-radio-2_22_19_26I it's only meant to be for the G1.
It should give an error when applying to the Magic.
Cannot you enter in recovery mode booting with "back" + "power" buttons and using fastboot to reflash the Magic?
wasss:
no i don't made a backup, tought a radio update doesn't make that brick..:'( (bad thinking...)
i'm trying the second option you gave me, but i cna't go into bootloader or whatever....
i'm so worry, cause the vodafone splahisn will be on for 30min and still there, i can't touch any button, well i could touch them, but the phone do nothing.,..
rommein:
i get that radio form the net, check the link, bu don't do that please..:S you'll make the same to ur phone...
try pulling the battery to turn off the phone.
then switch on as wassss suggested with HOME + POWER.
If you can see the ! menu with an image of the magic, press again HOME + POWER and you will see a menu.
If you see in one of the options, update from sdcard, or something like that, you can breath.
Download the HTC Magic firmware from the french guys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518461
Copy it to the sdcard and rename it as update.zip. (you can do this step in the computer).
Once the phone has the sdcard inserted and you are in that menu that i told you, click update.
It will reflash a correct firmware again.
rommelin:
i can't go to that menu, case the combination do nothin (HOME + POWER) and (BACK + POWER) .....
thanks for helping.. but i think i have lost it...
any other idea?
low volume + power?
if that doesn't work... i'm running out of ideas.
We need you to get into fastboot or recovery in order to apply easily any update or rom.
I think you will need to remove your battery to clear the Vodafone splash screen.
Replace your battery.
Switch on while holding down both "Volume - " and "Pwr" to get into fastboot
no... down vol + power doesn't work.....
i know we need to go to fasboot or something like that....
wow, now i'm desesperated....
hope someone could help me...
thanks anyway rommelin
just to be sure: in order to make any of these combinations to work, you need to be sure that the phone is switch off and that you press the 2 buttons all the time until the phone starts.
You should not release any of the 2 buttons until you see that the phone is booting. Otherwise it will not enter in fastboot, hboot or any menu.
duplicated
yes, i try to push taht buttons many times, and remember i'll do it before, if not, i can't brick my magic.....
and for reset/poweroff it's only posible removing the battery... pufff.... nothing seems to work
something new to add for information....
now i plugged my magic to the usb connector, and the light it's red.... buut i fully charged it before do the change....
ok, as you said, i guess that you know how to enter in recovery but itjust doesn't work.
I'm not experienced with bricked android phones, I was lucky until now.
I know that there are quite a few post in the dream forum about brick phones.
Maybe they can help you more than us.
We are new players in this world but there are guys in the dream forum that are really masters in this platform.
Just sorry for not being of much help.
Let us know if you get any positive feedback from them so we can learn all from this.
yes, if i'll get it, i feedback to u.....
now searching...

Red !!
The only colours I've seen are:
Orange = Charging
Green = Fully charged
Blue = eh can't remember, fastboot
Flashing Blue = New e-mail
me too....
that's why i'm scared... cause i began thinking i need to buy new one...:'(...
as we said before, i'll try searching in dream forum, but at the moment nothing...
Are you in the UK?
If so I'm sure everyone got at least 1 months insurance included with new contracts and upgrades. It may leave an option open to you.
I hope you get things sorted.
no i'm at spain, i think i have still time to change it for a new one, but need to wait until tomorrow.... i'll tell you bout that..
.
one thing abot the keys.... if i push teh trackball + powerr. it doesn't boot up, but the led it's blue....anyway i can't connect with the pc ....
when it is in the endless loop with the vodafone logo, connected to the pc, if you type "adb devices", does it says anything?
what about "fastboot devices", although i guess it will not say anything?
just trying to think about anything

Depending on what happened, it's a yes/no situation. What did you do?
Try this:
get into bootloader mode (tri-color screen): Take out the battery for one minute. Put it back in. Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the Volume down button while you do a press/release of the Reset button. OR hold the Volume down button while you do a press/release of the Power button.
That should get you to bootloader mode. Now, plug in your USB to the PC. Flash a CDMA ROM from there by running the .exe. If you cannot do that, transfer the .nbh file (rename it to "RHODIMG.nbh" [no quotes]) and follow these instructions.
Good luck, and happy new year!
*The majority of the CDMA ROMs can be found at PPCGeeks*

Well, this forum is for CDMA TP2s, but I'll help.
So you took out the battery for at least one minute? Then you put it back in. Get into bootloader mode (T-Mobile version: phone is off, hold the Volume Down button while you press/release the Power Button. Keep holding the Volume Down button until the colorful screen shows up).
When you're in bootloader, plug in your TP2 to your PC. Now run the .exe of a GSM ROM and follow the steps, as if your phone is synced to the PC. (aka flash as you would usually do).
To flash via the Storage Card: On your PC, go to Start > My Computer > Removable Disk drive (something like that; make sure this is your phone's Storage Card). Drag the .nbh of a GSM ROM there. Rename the .nbh "RHODIMG.nbh" (no quotes). Unplug your Phone. Take out the battery again for one minute. Now, go back into bootloader (hold Volume Down button and press/release Power button [keep holding the Volume Down button]). Follow the steps to flash the phone.
Good luck.

You did exactly the reverse of what I did, and the instructions already given are how I resolved it: put it in bootloader and flash a compatible ROM. I flashed a stock ROM just to be sure, but that's probably not needed.

See if you can do a hard-reset right now. While phone is off (which it is), press and hold Talk/Send, End, and Power button at the same time. Wait for a screen to pop-up. Follow steps to hard reset. That will bring it back to factory defaults.
If it doesn't work, maybe you could post your question on PPCGeeks, where a lot of CDMA people go. They might be able to help you.
Can you Unbrick a Touch Pro 2
Hi to all,
I'm a new here and a little desperate . I flashed my rom by using a raphael update instead of Rhodium. My phone got bricked. My phone is a Sprint HTC touch pro 2.
At the moment, it will not boot, when I plug it to my computer and it was looking for qualcomm cdma MSM drivers.
I tried sof and hardware reset including the boot loader. Nothing works. I also tried using different RUUs. Nothing works. I hope somebody can help me.
Fixed the problem...bought an android...ha,ha...

The same exact thing happened to my tp2.Accidently flashed touch pro(RAPHEL)rom and now nothing!!It won't power on or anything,can someone help me too...Is my phone bricked???? Help please!!!

Well if you can power it on, and go to bootloader, then your phone is just fine. Just flash a Rhodium ROM.
I suggest take battery out, and put it back in after few seconds, to see if it powers on. If not, leave it in the charger, and see if it powers on.
After installing the HardSPL, I decided to flash my US Cellular CDMA phone with a GSM rom and of course it bricked it. The phone would only boot to bootloader, so I was going to have it repaired for $70. But if I was willing to flash my device, then I'm sure as willing to look for a DIY solution somewhere. Goodthing I searched this forum, because the answers where right here!
Just format your microSD to FAT32, install an extracted stock ROM kit to the root of the SD insuring you rename the .nbh to RHODMIG.nbh and place the other extracted files on the SD as well. Place the microSD in your HTC Touch Pro2 and boot to bootloader. You may have to take steps to get to the bootloader, mine booted to bootloader automatically anyway at that point. Follow onscreen instructions, and your Touch will be as good as new!
thanks a million for helping me unbrick my tp2
wow man thanks a million, i followed the instru and it worked but was slow so i did task 29 and flashed the rom i wanted and it works great, i really appreciate your help on this
How did you get to the bootloader menu. I am using CDMA HTC Pro 2 by Sprint. Thanks

keeps rebooting?
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the problem I'm facing:
I have the latest Energy rom, with Android 2.3 on SD card. Android proved to be quite unstable and requires soft resets every now and then. Most of the time I would let it boot into WinMo and then run Haret again to get into Android.
Yesterday I left in running in Android all day, and in the evening I noticed the phone had died. Thinking it was just out of battery, I just plugged it in, let it charge for a few hours, then tried to boot it up. But it just kept rebooting, never getting pass the Touch Pro 2 boot screen.
Did hard resets twice, same thing. Re-flash the rom, same thing. Took out SD card, flashed again, same thing. Everything I tried, it would not get pass the initial boot screen, and just cycles the reboot again. Oh by the way, the hard resets and re-flashes are all successful with no errors.
Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!

Try flashing another ROM or try putting in another battery and see if the bootloop issue goes away. Kindly update the status of your post if you fixed the issue or are still having problems.
I need help, I searched the forums and I did everything the forums told me to do but no go. . Im trying to put android on my htc hd2. First I installed the spl, that went through without a hitch I downloaded everything, from the customRUU.exe, to radio 2.15, to a rom android sense, i tried flashing both not at the sametime changing them to RUU_signed.nbh, and when i run the ruu.exe it give me an error. When i try the other way, by changing them to LEOIMG.nbh and ptting it on my storage car, and shutting my phone off then turning it back on by holdong the volume button down with the power button all i get is the tri color screen with either serial or usb, nothing more, no image screen to continue, so i have to take out my battery and put it back in to restart my phone to normal. Im lost the process is very easy to do, but im having problem and i cant find anything in the forums to fix them nothing seems to be working. please help and sorry to be such a noob to this.
Whoa there......... take a deep breath................
Inhale..............
Exhale...................
Ok.
You probably dont need to change your WM Rom to run android, just make sure your radio is higher than 2.08.xx.xx.xx etc...........
If you do wanna change it anyway then read this and watch the videos..........
Secondly, you dont flash android........
You put a folder on your SD card and run it like it was just a normal program.....
Read through this.........
Hope that helps..............

Depending on what version of Android you go it may have to make the data.img file (your Android 'hdd' if you will). This process can take up to 15min, during which your phone will just sit there on the hTc screen or console.
If your radio is >2.08.... and you have copied the Android folder to your SD card correctly, on your first boot it will take some time to make your data.img file, and set its self up.
Hope this help and you get it running!!!
black screen and green htc?..... sounds like it could be the evo build, if so that one took well over 20 mins for me on the first boot, then another 10-15 to launch sense.....
if you abort it halfway through the first boot you should start over again by deleting the file data.img if one was created......

Has bought from the USA of HTC Inspite 4g (AT&T). Wanted to receive Root, S-OFF, Rom manager with ClockworkMod. Has started to do to change an insertion. Has received goldcard. After an overload phone has started to change an insertion. This process proceeded 2 hours (in the end of process there was a black screen). I have decided to overload phone. Has stopped process. After that problems have begun. Root, S-OFF, Clockworkmod I have received. But after reboot of phone it does not work about 10 minutes. 5 minutes at it absolutely black screen, then the white screen with an inscription of HTC simultaneously work 3 minutes the motor, loading of 2 minutes then begins. Process of switching-on or reboot of phone proceeds 10 minutes. Tried to replace an insertion once again. After that changes nothing. Did before setting of an insertion full surep wipe. It has not helped. I still have a problem. I want to enter into engineering menu HBOOT. I push down+power. I wait for 5 minutes (phone so is overloaded). I enter in HBOOT, but thus buttons (volume up and down, power) any more do not work. As to me to receive normal phone. I can not HBOOT make in it recovery. Where to me to take for HTC INspire 4G (AT&T) PD98IMG.zip. Also help me with the instruction. How to apply this file in RECOVERY.
I'm having a hard time with your English (or is it just fed into google translate?).
It looks like you installed the ENG hboot on a later model device that is incompatible.
You need to get it to boot (it will eventually) and put the newer hboot back on it. You can do this through ADB from a console. Here are the instructions:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/495273/
@ Gene Poole
I had a hard time with his English too, but I understand exactly what he is saying because I did the same thing. I will try to re-explain it and hopefully someone can help us out.
In a nutshell, it sounds like we both flashed an Engineering HBoot starting with a stock US ATT Inspire 4G that came with Gingerbread. Specifically, what I did was I followed a guide on Cyanogenmod's wiki for the Inspire 4G which gave direction to downgrade to Froyo, root, and setup to use eng hboot. This apparently was a huge mistake. After the downgrade, when rebooting or powering on the phone, nothing would happen for a long time (black screen for 5 - 10 minutes, i.e. phone was off), then, screen would turn on with white background and HTC logo and phone would vibrate non-stop for several minutes, and eventually, phone would turn on. After the downgrade and making it to the home screen, I copied CM7 zip on to the SD card and rebooted into recovery via adb. Same exact weird process happened with phone being off for several minutes, then vibrating, then eventually i made it to cwm recovery. After installing CM7 and rebooting, same crazy startup process and made it into CM7 home screen.
I was hoping once CM7 was installed that the crazy startup process would disappear but it didn't. I saw afterwards in a CM forum that this happened to someone else and they had asked if the wiki could be updated to point to the Ace hack kit guide to rooting the Inspire 4g (which mentions that eng hboot shouldn't be used with the phone I had as configured). I then rebooted into bootloader via adb and after crazy startup and fastboot did not work at all (fastboot devices returned nothing). Further still, no buttons work in hboot at all (Vol Up, Vol Down, Power).
At this point, I could still get into the phone, but I wanted to try to undo everything I did and start over using the Ace hack kit. I then tried to use the Ace hack kit to unroot the phone by using the ATT GB RUU. The process seemed to go pretty far, but after a reboot, the phone never came back, and that's where I am currently. If I start the phone, it does crazy startup but never fully boots...stays on white HTC screen forever...which means I can't use adb (to my knowledge). I was able to get to hboot by putting elastics around volume down button and waiting a very long time, but it looks like hboot is still the eng hboot because none of the buttons work and I can't use fastboot. I was hoping that as part of RUU flashing that hboot would be restored to original one. I put the RUU (PD98IMG.img) on SD card, but again I can't get to it because buttons don't work.
So, it sounds like spv4 above is in a very similar boat. I have no idea what else to try. Only thing I can think of is if it's possible to somehow modify an RUU to start automatically when getting to hboot without any user input.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than willing to try anything. Thanks very much.
EDIT: So, as I was typing this post earlier, I had been "sitting" in hboot the whole time. When I was done, I looked at phone and PD98IMG.zip was been applied to phone automatically! Don't know if this was common knowledge or not, but everything updated OK. When it was done, hitting the power button to reboot didn't work, but I just removed battery and when putting it back in, phone booted normally back to what looks like stock RUU. Hopefully this info helps someone else.

Great! Glad you got it back, but you could have saved a lot of time.
The main problem is that the ENG hboot (or pre-GB hboots) doesn't recognize something in the hardware of the new phones. The end result is that the hboot runs at about 50x slower. It eventually gets booted, and once booted to an OS (either the main OS or the recovery OS) it runs fine since hboot has exited and passed control to the OS. So anytime hboot is in control, things crawl at a snail's pace.
Because the OS runs fine and hboot has exited, it is possible to overwrite the hboot partition from the booted OS. That's what you are doing in the instructions that I posted a few posts back. Once the correct hboot is installed, all is fine.
I agree that someone needs to update the cyanogenmod wiki. It's way out of date.
I'm currently experiencing the same problem.
I followed the instructions on how to downgrade using a goldcard, successfully rooted and i also flashed TrickDroid on it, but every time i turn the device on i have to hold the power button for 20 seconds and wait 10 minutes till the HTC logo appears, then it takes 2 minutes vibrating and i seriously can't deal with this.
can you please tell me how to fix this?

hello all,
I am new here and I have been searching the forums for a few days as well as the internet but I could not seem to find one that had my same problem, but if there is can you please direct me to it and apologies for that.
I was installing a new rom, the Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6], onto my inspire i did a full wipe using FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip and I cleared the caches. the install i thought went well because it went to 100% and i even chose what kind of background i could as well as choosing to over clock my processor. The phone the restarted after all of that and it went to the htc screen then faded to black, after about ten minutes of it being black screen i pulled out the battery.
Now when i try to recover it it wont go into hboot and it just goes to the htc white screen then it quickly fades to a black screen and stays like that.
so my question to you all is a Jtag the only way i can save my phone or is there something else i can do?

Im sorry but I dont understand. I cannot enter hboot no mater what i do and don't you need to enter hboot to reflash it?
True, but I'm hoping you are doing something wrong.
Pull battery, wait a few minutes, place back in. Press and hold Volume down, then power button. Does it go into hboot? If not.

Edit: you are the first report with that issue after trying to flash that rom. My bet (that is, if you are new), you are not doing something wrong.
2nd edit: if you are new, then read the guide in post#7

I really appreciate the help Teichopsia , but I've tried the power /volume - method many times and it still wont go to hboot. if it helps this is the 5 time i have have flashed a rom on my phone (and it is rooted) and yes sadly i had to be the first person to be unlucky enough to get my phone bricked from the blackout rom :crying:
i think i could get out of this mess if i could only get into hboot.
reading the method you linked to me will it work if i cant even get to the hboot screen? my phone only stays of the white htc logo screen for about 3 seconds then it goes to a lit black screen
on a side note should i report what happened to team blackout to see if they have any soloutions?
The only thing I can think of is trying to get into hboot without the sd card and sim card.
The rest is beyond my knowledge.
You'll need to wait for someone more knowledgable than myself to help you.
Remember, first press and hold the volume down button, while holding that down press the power button. Do not release either button till it shows the hboot. If that doesn't work, pull the battery for five minutes and try again. If you did this part exactly like that, then you can skip it.
Well, you already posyed your issue here, just wait for someone to help you. Glevitan is bound to show up sooner or later.

I would see if you can send commands to it from adb while its in the blacked out state. adb is pretty easy to use and can be found easy online. if you get it installed type "adb devices", if it recognizes your device type "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery".

hello all,
I am new here and I have been searching the forums for a few days as well as the internet but I could not seem to find one that had my same problem, but if there is can you please direct me to it and apologies for that.
I was installing a new rom, the Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6], onto my inspire i did a full wipe using FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip and I cleared the caches. the install i thought went well because it went to 100% and i even chose what kind of background i could as well as choosing to over clock my processor. The phone the restarted after all of that and it went to the htc screen then faded to black, after about ten minutes of it being black screen i pulled out the battery.
Now when i try to recover it it wont go into hboot and it just goes to the htc white screen then it quickly fades to a black screen and stays like that.
so my question to you all is a Jtag the only way i can save my phone or is there something else i can do?

i also have the same problem. i'm using a DHD. and to add to that, my volume rocker is broken. i wonder why the warning not to select reboot immediately after installation wasnt part of the download as a readme or something. i may have just lost a perfectly good phone as a result
I can confirm as a third user and one knowledgable in flashing roms that the ICS blackout does the same thing to my phone. I can also confirm that pulling the battery and then trying hboot just results in the white htc screen instead of just popping up hboot. I was able to boot into recovery from the white htc screen by using adb and doing the "adb reboot recovery" command. I am able to restore my backup just fine so you guys will be able to fix it. it must just have a bad boot image for the version of hboot that we have installed.

Im sorry but this is the first time i have ever done something like that can you give me a step by step instruction how to do it or a link that says how, i dont want to sound lazy but I scared to mess up my phone even more
Use this guide its very easy. if you have already used your phone on your pc and the drivers are installed all you need to do is download the easyadb and follow the instrucions to where is says to type adb.exe. once it is started just type adb devices to make sure it sees your device and then adb reboot recovery
Ignore the fact the instructions are written for a xoom as it will work for any android device with the drivers already installed, which they should be from rooting, syncing and all the other stuff you have probably already done on pc.
UPDATE: I reinstalled ICS blackout but instead of wiping myself i just let aroma installer do it and everything went fine this time. I noticed the aroma installer reformats everything to ext4. its not mentioned in the op as a requirement but seems thats the case. Hboot version has nothing to do with it like i previously commented. It really is a cool rom with both ics and sense. I have only tried the sense version so far
Hope this helps?

Just in case-- to get into recovery you must press and hold the volume down for a few seconds and then hold the power button. Do not do press them both at the same time. I realize you wrote that your volume rocker seems or is broken but I wrote above just in case-- when I first tried to root my phone, I was pushing them both at first and thought my rocker was broken....
Since you rooted the phone originally-- not sure how you did it. But if you go to this link you can download recovery flash. Read the "readme" file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29208930&postcount=10
Assuming you can get into recovery-- then reload the blackout ROM but you MUST let the aroma installer wipe and format do not use any other wipe/format tool. Then do NOT press the "FINISH" button-- instead press the back arrow-- you want to go back to flash recovery and reboot from there. If you press finish (like I did multiple times, the phone will just lockup).
Best of luck!
Three of us confirmed that hboot was inaccessible even after battery pull. I am no stranger to this device as well. The only fix was using adb reboot. Also if you actually reformat your partitions to ext4 before install, then aroma will install correctly. It's just not mounting anything if it's still in ext3 format. Definitely better to just do the full wipe within aroma though. I do agree with not hitting restart from aroma but someone already mentioned that a few posts up.
Thank you thank you thank you
After putting it into abd it recognized it and then i was able to put it into hboot. Im not out of the woods yet, but after not being to see hboot in so long, well its just amazing to see it again
ok now its in hboot it gives me 4 choices
bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
power down
apologies again but just for reassurance which one should i select?
THANK YOU GUYS for getting me this far!!!
special thanks to Gizmoe for suggesting the adb route

I did exactly as you said I pressed finished and it asked if i wanted to reboot i said no. then it sent me back to recovery mode crossing my fingers hoping to see that it works:fingers-crossed:
Now, just manually reboot.
