[SOLVED]...I may have bricked...HELP - HTC Inspire 4G

So i think i committed the ultimate sin, I think I may have bricked my phone...
So i was trying to flash a rom right? i accidently flashed a package of the rom and not the entire rom... problem is im booted up, and cant access ANYTHING
I cant open settings, no notification bar, nothing! Just a few apps
So i tried pushing Rom manager with ADB, it says it pushed, but it does not appear in the app drawer....
Any suggestions how to get this puppy back in Clockwork so i can flash the entire rom?
The phone is worthless at its current state....

You will need to flash a P98IMG.ZIP file in the bootloader. I had that happen once.
Wipe the sweat off your brow ... I will research for you.
Off the top of my head if you have downloaded the Ace hack kit you will find a P98IMG.ZIP in there you can attempt to flash.
See this form topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224
Bottom of the OP you will see stock rom in zip format to download from MultiUpload.
Simply place the P98IMG.ZIP file directly into your SD card.
Turn off your phone.
Turn on continuing to hold the power button and volume down button until a happy white screen comes up.
Release buttons and sit a few seconds.
Follow on screen instructions.
Enjoy your back to stock rom to try it again.

You gave me an idea that i happened to fix after your thought
I flashed into fastboot and went into the recovery mode (which puts you into clockwork)
from there i just flashed the rom.zip i intended to flash the first time around, but accidently flashed the package the 1st time around
Thanks for the idea browski!

Ok when I go into that it just starts trying to load the radio img file. How do I get it to let me volume down to recovery?

thats because the PD98IMG is a radio >_>. Delete it off your sd card...

when it asks you to press vol up to update, press volume up.

have winrar and dont want to erase your bootloader or your Recovery?
simply download the file and delete recovery+Hboot from the inside (do not unzip).
*make sure after you run this PG06IMG.zip to rename it to anything else (like aPG06IMG.zip) or it will ask you if your want to update every time you go to Bootloader and not allow you to fastboot or recovery.
THIS WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE.

.93 hboot-Original Hboot that came with the phone-not s-off
Code:
Common issues:
Cant get device to recognize PG06IMG.img?
Check the file system of your sdcard. Sdcard that came with phone uses a FAT filesystem, which bootloader does not recognize. use a computer to format your sdcard (or use recovery to format sdcard) to exfat or fat32 to clear this issue.
Formatting will wipe your sdcard so make sure you back it up first :)

reformat your sd.. says bootloader cant recognize FAT..
it worked for me when formatted through recovery.. you can use a computer too. i was dumb and lost my copy of the .ZIP so remember to back that up
It didn't work... the phone saw it and checked it and then check the file again and never asked do i want to update... Any ideas?
Well I'm completely back to stock and unrooted...I was having issues making and receiving calls and still no keyboard or on screen lights. Hope Sprint is open on Sundays. Worked perfect BTW thanks.

Same thing here.
Edit: Phone was not rooted, I'm trying to revert back to 2.2 after the phone was upgraded to 2.3 (before I bought it today). Maybe that's why it's not working for me. I downloaded the file from two different mirrors just in case I managed to grab one that was corrupt.

CWM blackscreen? Look here before posting!

So you are looking at this because you have recently rooted your phone. You are probably trying to flash your first rom and either, you booted into recovery and it was a black screen, or your tried flashing a rom from rom manager and it goes to a black screen.
Now most dev's have a faq posted to eliminate new posts popping up every day, but here I will attempt to tell you how to fix this.
FIRST MAKE A BACKUP the screen will go black when it is backing up, but wait 10-15 minutes and your phone will reboot.
Currently there are three options. There are other options, but these are more user friendly.
Option 1
1. Place This(thanks to nsnc) file on the root of your sd card, boot into hboot by turning off fast boot, restart, hold power+vol down.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Option 2 (longer then option 3):
1. You can return your phone completely to stock removing root and s-off. You can find a very helpful link to do that here.
2. Once your phone has been completely returned to stock, download the Hack Kit(thanks to attn1). Make sure you follow the instructions completely, and to a tee.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Option 3:
1. You are going to need to eng s-off the phone using the one click eng s-off Here(thanks to jkoljo).
2. Once you eng s-off and have a working cwm it is highly recommended you turn eng s-off, on. So that you only have radio s-off. You can do that by using this PD98IMG. Download and place on the root of your sd card. You will need to boot into hboot using power+volume down. When it asks you to update select yes with the volume buttons. (note this is just like flashing a new rom so it will do a full wipe)
Once you have radio s-off you may have to flash an older CWM recovery, but you can now restore your backup if you wish to.

Currently these are the known ways to fix this problem. If more ways should arise they will be added to this post.
Please be sure to READ the dev's FAQ section as well.
*NOTE*
I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone this post is solely to help those in need in the easiest way possible.
Hope this helps.
What about this one?

I considered using that, but I wanted to make the process more user friendly.
did you see the update at the bottom of the first post? I put that PD98IMG.zip on the root of my sd and then went to hboot and let it find the file. Worked great.

The only thing I ask is that you post the post where you found it/ and or the person who made it.
Am I to understand all we have to do is put this PD98img.zip file on the SD Card (after renaming it) and it will clear up the CWM problem we are having without doing Eng-S-off? This seems pretty easy, but I am curious about what ROM it is when we reflash, is it the Stock AT&T?

This is not a ROM file, just a repaired bootloader that installs using hboot. AFAIK, it leaves whatever ROM you are using intact. In fact, on my phone, it didn't change a thing, other than clockwork now works...
See my post above. NSNC posted this fix a while back. The PD98IMG is in the update of the OP

It works well so far. I used it myself.

Worked great for me too. At last, let the ROM flashing begin! Thanks for finding this.
I believe I am suffering from this problem. It's been 15 minutes + though and I am still in that screen. Should I pull the battery and reinstall it?
Thanks in advance.

Sure: My phone has been rooted, I entered CWM, downloaded Cyanogenmod and attempted to flash it. I followed the prompts, backed everything up, and when installation (I guess you call it that?) began it went to a black screen.
It is still in that screen, I just tried holding down the power but nothing occurred.

It might of failed to flash, I would pull the battery, place the PD98IMG from the first post from option number one place it on your sd card (not in a file and do not unpack) boot into hboot using power and volume down, It will flash the file from hboot, once it has flashed remove the PD98IMG from your sd card, boot into hboot again go to recovery from hboot. See if that works.

Did I just brick my phone?

I was using ROM Manager to try to install the ClearDroid ROM, it did a reboot, and now seems stuck at the HTC screen. I can get into the menu (doing power+volume up), but am not sure what to do at this point.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
If you can get into recovery your fine. Just restore your nandrod you hopefully made or try using a different rom or re-downloading the one you just tried.
Edit: have you flashed a recovery yet?

Remove the battery, reinsert it and then try volume down + power
Thank you for the quick response, to be honest I'm nervous as heck that I'm going to further jack something.
Do I need to copy a ROM onto the SDCARD, and rename it to the PDxxxx.zip?
Something new, and potentially concerning.
When I try to go into recovery, I'm now getting 3 "vibrates", following by blinking orange light.

If you can get to hboot. use the volume button to go down to recovery and press the power button. Once you're in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, go to advanced, clear dalvik, install from zip from sd card, pick the zip from the sd card, it will flash. If you get stuck again redownload the rom and try again.
How long does it take to get into recover? I got into HBOOT, selected recover, power, it reset, presented the HTC screen, faded to black, and seems to be sitting there.

Yes that is the size of the file, when you boot into hboot i will look for the file and on the third time it will find it and start flashing it. Did you place it in a folder, or unpack it?
I figured it would load on the third one, it is on the root, compressed. It's a Blackberry 2G card, that did have a directory in it. I went ahead and formatted the card, and am going to give it another go.
Still no go, it will not recognize that image.
Try a different sd card. Got a few more options after that.
OK< got that fixed, turns out I had formatted it FAT, not FAT32. It parsed the file.
Now what?

it's not bricked.... power off the phone then press and hold the power key and the vol down key at the same time til you see the HBOOT screen. vol down until RECOVERY is highlited then press power. That will bring you into Recovery mode. now wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.. then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache... go back to mounts and storage and format system...
after all that then go back to install zipfrom sdcard and reinstall miui that should do it
Im not going anywhere so I'll be here, let me know how you do
Ouch. That sucks. Don't worry though, there is hope.
What you will have to do is remove your SD card and download a stock RUU and it will flash in Bootloader. Unfortunately I believe it will unroot you. I am not positive on that though. I will post a link so you can be reading a little more about it, we helped a guy thru this the.other day, but he wasn't rooted. Should be the same process though. You'll want to wait until we know exactly what to do because this is your one shot before you got a fancy paperweight. I have to run to atnt for a minute. Start reading so you'll know a little more of what is going to go on, and hang tight. Someone else may step in before I'm back, but you can start familiarizing yourself with the process shortly.
This fellow was pricked during an OTA update. About the same steps will be taken...

search around on here for a stock rooted rom in PD98IMG.zip form There may be one inside the hack kit but cant remember. put it on your sdcard boot into bootloader by holding volume down and pressing power. let it search for the update. hit volume up to confirm update after it finds it.

you have a micro sd card reader on your computer ?
Here's a link to gb stock rooted. Look at post 4. Credit goes to gene for the file.
To flash you will need a way to transfer files to your SD card.
Download the file and rename to PD98IMG.zip. boot into hboot it will scan and ask you to apply the update.
If you can't transfer files try the ruu exe. Version you downloaded.

[Q] Bricked my phone!!!! :(

Hi everyone,
yesterday I wanted to load a custom ICS rom on my HTC Sensation XE. I did S-off the phone, got root access. I downloaded the firmware, rom, and a super wipe zip file for the new rom. Put them all on my sd card and flashed them.
After I flashed the wipe file and the rom the phone was booting up and couldn't go further than boot screen, so I tried several times, wiped the phone and etc.
After few times trying when i went to the recovery, it gave me a message to update and I said yes! I think I shouldn't cause after that it tried to update something in recovery and it failed, system reboot and phone shut down.
since then i can't even turn on the phone!!!! I've got battery charged nearly 80% so the problem is not the battery. Can any of you guys please help me?
So to clarify, it wont start when you press Vol down and Power on at the same time?
No nothing happens!!! like i can't do anything with it or even make it work to a point that I can restore my backed up firmware etc...

Yeah it soundslikeyou have Becker it some how. You may want to check out this thread, that is if you want to Teutonic do it yourself. But be warned I annotated 100% sure this will work on your Sensation. The other option is to try for warranty exchange or find someone to JTAG your Sensation. I can put you in touch with someone that can JTAG it if all else fails and you don't mind sending your phone off for a two or three days.
did u flash a non xe rom, did u do the supercid

well I think i did. Im really not sure as of now cause i did so many things to fix the issue and finally i got it broken completely! but right now the problem is i cant even trun on the phone to go to recovery and check if it is spercid or not!
Most probably you didn't delete the PG58IMG (firmware) from sd card after flashing firmware. So each time you reboot into bootloader it asks to update in a never ending loop.
Delete any PG58IMG from sd card and reboot bootloader then go to recovery and flash the rom.
Also, what rom you were trying to flash and what firmware? what is the version of your Hboot? 1.27?
Hope it helps

yes true, i had the zip file on the sdcard and when it booted up the last time, it asked me to update and I selected yes (and I think I shouldn't) since then I cant turn on the device at all. I just took the sdcard out and deleted the PG58IMG.zip file but still nothing happened!
I was trying to flash revolution HD rom 6.6.1 if i'm not mistaken. is there any way that I can check the version of my HBOOT now? cause I'm not sure if it was 1.27 or not (as far as I remember, it was)
Pull out and reinsert the battery?
Power on while keeping pressed volume down + power button doesn't work? It should bring you to the bootloader.
It doesnt matter if you updated twice or three times the same PG58IMG. It is important that it was the right one.
All bootloader flashable zips are named PG58IMG but the content might be different (firmware, recoveries, spashscreen and even full roms etc etc).
Also, did you install a custom recovery or not? it is necessary to have a custom recovery to flash any custom rom

follow this step by step, make sure u dont skip anything and when your phone is up and running dont forget to press the thanks button. if u need help along the way you can ask.
flashing file with bootloader is different from the custom rom.
flash 3.32 pg.. file approx 11-13 mb then without rebooting pull battery out and back in then reboot into recovery and flash the rom file and you are good to go.

How can the OP do this, the device will not even turn on to boot into fastboot or the bootloader therefore the instructions in the thread you linked are pretty much useless to the OP. It seems that the OP has hard bricked the device somehow,maybe fried the processor Blythe back to back flashes or fried the NAND memory with the back to back flashes, who really knows at this point. But right now my money is on JTAG or replacing the mainboard willbe the only fix.

he mentioned nothing about trying it with adb/sdk fastboot using command prompt,
i was in similar situation with my friends phone last week, after 3 days of searching and reading i finally followed that thread and now the sensation is running ordroid 2.1 rom. the buttons on the phone got disabled somehow. had to manually install drivers in device manager, like he mentioned that comp detects the phone. so before giving up adb/sdk is worth a try atleast in my case it was.
Well, i'm sorry for you, man
