Suddenly can't flash!

Current Setup :
HardSPL (latest, 3.56 I believe)
Radio: 1.65.29.22 (from Niki or Neon, almost positive it was Niki)
Solace v3.1
Decided I wanted to go back to newest radio, attempted to flash to it; hit a snag at about 78%. Progress didn't update for a while, then to 100%. Update app said there was a flash error, and it did not complete correctly. Device restarted, stuck at bootloader. Re-attempted the flash, same result.
Next, I tried flashing AT&T's latest ROM. Stalled at about 76%, message about having a communication error, walked through the apps troubleshooting steps; it tried (and failed) again.
Tried the latest HTC direct ROM, same result.
Tried to flash the latest HTC via MicroSD card, got 20(ish) percent through, the Radio line then went red and said "RSA Failure". Then that whole process died on me as well.
The only way I can get my device back up to run MTTY to remove the RUU flag. When issuing the "task 8" command to format, it instead reboots the phone. The phone will come up normally after that.
Since I got it back up, I have tried flashing once again, and am getting the same result. Am I just stuck here now?
It's not that I don't like this ROM, I'm just wanting to update the radio. Any ideas what else I might be able to try?

Try using the search function next time before you create a new thread.
If you would tryed you could find this post

Yes, thank you...except that I started my thread saying that the proposed solution was exactly what CAUSED the problem to begin with. I tried to flash to the 1.70.x radio, which is where I got the flash write error.
Anyone else?

Now that you can get it up normally, have you tried going to a stock HTC ROM first, then the new ROM, then the radio? Or HTC, radio, new ROM? I'd probably do it the second way. You said you tried flashing stock before getting it up again, and that you tried flashing after getting it back up, but you didn't state what you've tried flashing after getting it back up.

Since I've gotten it back up, I've tried both OEM and radio only. Both have the same result.
Really at a loss now as to what to try next.

Did you try the 3.29Hard2 SPL? I haven't encountered your issue and wish I could be mroe help here. My only thoughts would be to try a different SPL, or perhaps looking into the ForceUSB issue. Best of luck.

Totally bricked!!

Hi guys,
Well it just happened the unwanted.
After an unsuccessful upgrade to 20E I'm left with a bricked phone.
My phone is an European version (p920). I've tried all procedure described on this forum about how to get him back to live but all ended into a failure. The bin methode gave a partial "success" but at the end it made things worst cause it messed up my baseband and now it doesn't have a GSM network and there's no IMEI.
Well I tell you how all these happend.
A couple a days ago I was having 21A installed which I ended up rooting it in order to try some custom roms. I have tried a couple of them but at the end I was having some troubles with my wifi connection so I decided to revert back to 21A or just install another once using the kdz update method.
It was while upgrading to 21D that I got a connection fault and I had to detach and attach the phone. First I though it would be a cable though I changed it and I started all over with the provided cable from LG but always with the same results. As a result the phone didn't power up. I founded later that it powers up only when the wall charger is attached.
After many tries and after reading how to solve this issue I gave it a try trough flashtool with a bin file of 20E I downloaded here in the forum. I tried several times but after 95 seconds the upgrade just fail, well it never really got further. I also tried to flash a GB baseband and I remember once it got up untill 75 seconds of progress and the I got and ERROR. I remember the same happened when the first leaked GB rom came out and you had to flash the baseband separately using these method.
I can't get the phone into recovery mode. I ran out of button combination don't work. I read that some other people were having the same issue and they haven't found a fix yet.
Sorry for the large story but I wanted to be clear with it.
Can someone point me out how to solve this or just come with some ideas.
I really thank you in advance
Lucio

Have you tried this method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186460
It worked for me for about 3 different types of bricking, even though it's very tricky and frustrating to get it to enter emergency mode correctly. However, when it does, it feels like a better way to flash a rom in my opinion. I prefer this method when installing a new rom.

Using V20E in mine right now.
Works just fine.

HI XBALL,
Thanks for the links man. I was using old driver and that was causing the constantly connection failure. I download the new USB driver trough the LG Updater app ( Recovery Phone) and installed them. I disabled the LG Android USB moden and started the upgrade procedure with a full success.
I've crazy for about three days. Now time for a bier.
Thanks

System UI has failed!!!

I'm running miui 2.9.14 and i always lose my status bar and the ability to answer calls when i get the message "unfortunately system ui has stopped working" and once that happens i am forced to wipe and then reflash because thats the only fix i know which is so frustrating setting everything up again just because of the problem. is it because im flashing gapps, could that cause the problem, or is it a system problem? serached through so many forms and all they say is to wipe dalvik and cache and when i do that it happens again! Please someone help me

Have you tried posting on the miui site ? I'm not familiar with that Rom but it could be a sort of "bug". You can post on the Rom site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. If they are, perhaps they likely know of a fix for this issue.?? Wish I could be of more help but I don't know much about that particular Rom. On the miui site they sould be able to direct you towards a solution . Best of luck to you!

A black window box come out after flashing my SGS3 GT-I9300

After flashing my SGS3 GT-I9300 with a few custom rom, now I'm using Smart Phone Revolution 2.5. Suddenly this box came out and won't dissapear even after a few restarts. But whenever I open any app, it disappears and when I close that app, it appears again. I really need help. I've tried flashing with official stock 4.1.2 firmware, any other custom but it's still there. The internet and call function is working as usual, only this box is the problem. Help me guys!

IDK it looks as if your phone was in some kind of "servicing mode", or something. Weird stuff I've never seen, as I'm quite a noob just like you. Still I've never been in any kind of pain to flash my phone, and outside of ROM-related glitches, never had any problem.
What I know for sure you should do is to give folks here more details about :
How you first rooted it
What recovery you're using
The exact procedure you've followed to flash Smart Phone Revolution
The exact procedure you've followed to try and resolve the problem.
Did you try to unroot the phone completely, or just flashed stock firmware after factory wipe?
Any other thing or incident you think could be related?
Then sit tight, and wait until someone with experience stops by to help. Good luck!

[Q]

I need help. I know very little about the android stuff even though I have had the phone nearly 3 years I think. I got a problem of flashing(my first experience of flashing the firmware). Let me put it in details. I have xperia SL. My friend helped flash a new custom rom (MIUI) so my phone was rooted and unlocked bootloader. because there were always problems happening( not smooth, and apps always stopped working during they were in the process) while I was using the MIUI Rom. I decided to flash it by myself to firmware I had before, but I did a lot of reading about it before I did it, but I don't think i understand all. Before it was flashed, it had the stock: LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96. I tried to look for this one. But I could find only the firmware for Xperia S. I tried, but during flashing problems happened it said something like flashing aborted, I don't know why. when I turn my phone on it displayed only reparing picture on screen...then I tried to turn it off by holding volumn up key and power button for 10 seconds and tried to flash another frimware but It is the old version: LT26ii_6.1.A.2.55_1266-9957_Singapore by xdaNomNomM. It worked this time. I looked for the firmware of LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 and I got one it is LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96_Generic. I decided to flash my phone again. Yes, flashing process till the end was fine. I didn't see any error message or something. But after flashing, I disconnect it and turned it on because I got the message to do so. It displayed the repairing image again, don't know what is wrong. I decided to flash it again using the old firmware again 4.0.4 it works and now I am stuck using the ICS, not really satified with it. Anyone can help provide the links to download the firmware LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96 that work for me? and can you tell what could be the problems while I was flashing? what should I do to my phone now, keep it like that?
Thank in advance! Sorry that I write a lot for you to read and sorry to disturb you all!
