hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.
Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.
thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.
I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime
Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
Hello again experts,
First of all , I love Android ! Period.
Currently , I'm running a Cyanogen 7 Gingerbread 2.3 off my SD Card.
I like it , its pretty stable( if you have any other ROMS that have everything working and much more stable compared to Cyanogen's please let me know...but so far its been OK...except a orange light on top and sometimes its slow(2-3 seconds) to show me the unlock screen when i press the red key at bottom while the phone is sleeping )
So now i want to get rid of WinMo6.5 and install Android on my NAND / Flash my NAND with Android.
But since Im a noob , I might screw it up and brick my phone.
Is there a way i could backup some stuff and restore in case I brick my phone and start using WinMO?
Can we reverse the mess and go back to WinMo6.5 safely without any issues?
Please help...any steps and procedures would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
King !
What type of phone are you using? If you're using the hd2 (I'm assuming because that's the most popular dual booting phone, if not then let me know which one it is) check out this thread.

First of all thanks for this great forum !!!!
This will be my first post. I have to thank all developers to get the sensation s-off.
I made a stupid mistake with the eng hboot. I played a little round and typed
"fastboot oem fdisk erase_emmc.
Now Phone is completly dead and bricked. Can not power on and no charging.
But it must be possible to bring the sensation back to life. I downloades QPST an drivers and see, that the device is in download mode.
I tried cdma workshop and DFS CDMA Tool too.
Can somebody make a dump with QPST and backuo the nv file and firmware image to unbrick the sensation.
Please no commands why I have done this. I said it before. I have no second sensation to try it by myself.
Has anyone an idea ??? (without to send it back or jtag flash)
Thank you for any help.
Kindly regards Woody01
Sorry for bad English
Send me the commands and i do it for you!
No comment on what you have done
I'm sorry man, but we can't help you. Once you erase something like that, it's over for that device. If i'm reading correctly, the internal sd card is completely wiped, no recovery, no HBOOT, no / (original mount point). The thing that bothers me, if you didn't know what it did, why would you run that command? That is idiocy at it's finest. The only thing you could do is send it back for a warranty replacement, since it's bricked like that, they won't able to tell you ever rooted or flashed anything. If you do send it back, play dumb, say you woke up one day after charging it all night and it just wouldn't turn on any longer. Once you get your replacement, do not install the ENG HBOOT, it isn't for noobs for this exact reason.
Download mode could be a mode where it wait for flash ... keep it off until someone comes with ideas....
Thank you for your answers but I expectet such replies.
It must be possible to bring it back. In QPST you have the ability to flash back the Multi-Image file. But i am missing the the phon image hex and boot hex. I think if someone make a backup from the Multi-Backup and NV file we could unbrick it.
For the Galaxy S someone wrote at tool (One click unbrick). There will be everything restored. (partition, boot, etc).
Is someone interestet to help me trying this ????
Kindly regard Woody01
I say again tell me how i do it .... backing up should be no problem for a device
@xtcislove
First of all you must dwonload QPST (I found it by google). I have version 2.7 buil 355.
You need the QHSUSB Drivers. I found the drivers on google. I think the phone must be in diag mode. Use QPST Software download. There is an option backup. There you can backup the firmware. It will be restored as an qcn file.
To restore the NV File you can try DFS CDMA Tool. There is an option to read the NV file. At that point I could write the file from Wildfire. I could delete it too. I used the free version 3.2.0.0
For Diag mode you need the HTC Diag driver.
It is possible for me to upload these files here in forum and is it allowed ???.
Thank you
Be careful with the NV file. There is your imei and serial number. It would be nice if someone send the file with edited imei and serial.
I need the hex files for QPST. Some wrote in the www something about CDMA-Workshop to get the hex dump.
Kindly regards Woody01
Sry i cant edit my imei etc out ...
and with 3 posts i dont trust you really ... sry i think u should ifnd someone
@ xtcislove
I understand you and is absolutly O.K . I would not send the NV file with my emei and serial too. (only the file with editet imei and serial)
I hope someone is interestet and crazy to unbrick the device and help me.
Kindly regards Woody01
Get a warranty replacement and don't even S-Off your phone. You obviously can't handle it.
In curious, why were you doing what you were doing?

Haha i was wondering the exact same thing
I have similar situation. my phone won't boot, no LED anywhere.
what i stupidly did was, i tried to reinstall the stock ROM and between shuffling the screens around i skipped one step. that step was actually opening the stock ROM and running it and following the commands. so i tried to unroot and S-on without selecting a ROM to flash...... now i'm screwed.
i checked my SD card in my old phone and all the data is still there. will that make a difference. or am i helpless?

I was stupid enough to brick mine too by an S-OFF -> S-ON transition . No solution I guess? I e-mailed three different repair centers, but no response yet. I wonder if it is possible at all to flash the Sensation's bootloader without a functional USB connection.
For other phones it can be done by a JTAG interface, but this is very delicate job which I can't do myself.
For now I consider it bricked. I bought some Apple stocks (AEX ING Sprinters Long, Dutch stock market) and will let these pay (I'm already there after today) for the new Sensation that I bought already. If it is repairable after all I will sell one of them again. I'm not going for a warranty return. Beside the fact that it is possibly detectable that I voided the warranty by touching the bootloader, it is my own mistake that I have to pay for....
By the way I have been looking for more people who killed their HTC Sensation, but I could only find you two guys and a german who is mentioned in this thread as well.
Please keep in touch!

I'm actually doing the whole return process. Since mine is so badly inoperable, I'm hoping that after they inspect it they will be able to give me a new one. I was able to S-On the phone (as far as i know) during the process so if they are able to read it, it should be cool. If anything i'll either be turned down or have to pay for a new one.
Planning on blaming it on the over night charging + the 2.3.4 update they released the day i bricked it haha. It's all just a game of chance.
i did it too my friend , some mistake S-off ---> s=on transition , do you have any solutions
Hello everyone, I'm a noob and this my first post. I had been reading blogs for years now on all sort of advice and solutions, so yes this is my first reply or post on any blogs. I usually find the answer I'm looking for so posting anything was unnecessary. Now I really need help. I screwed up some how. I was attempting to turn S back to ON because my device was not taking the new update, and by doing so bricked my phone (wont power on. I'm guessing I had restored a rom and not original back up which xl VipeR lx had warned about in his instructions. I have SD with su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip on it. Can someone please help I really should had not rooted my phone because I dont have the knowledge. I can take instructions very well (was Soldier in the U.S Army for 8 years (2 years in Iraq). So if some one would please give me instruction on how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
Is there any solution ?
Thanks !
Would this tool allow me to make a backup of my phone that can be restored if ever it is bricked? In other words, would it make my phone nearly unbrickable? I mean, there is very little chance of my phone being bricked, I make sure I know exactly what command does before I execute it. I realised I have spent most of my days in the last couple of weeks reading XDA and thinking about my soon to be gf in Hong Kong XD. I just worry that when flashing a firmware file I may be left with a brick, or even get one of those bricks people speak of that just happens randomly. I really don't want to lose my phone, it means so much to me lol. I just get so worried with these things....
What I'm trying to ask is, a partition backup created with this tool can be flashed to the phone with what functioning partitions? ie do you need a working radio partition or not? working hboot? Cause what I'm scared most about is flashing a bad radio and creating a phone that can not get into hboot... i'm also scared about getting a random brick which at the moment seems to be unfixable.
Mind you, it would make a pretty impressive paperweight....
EDIT: found this guide... can someone explain what NV items are? A small understanding of this may allow me to make a backup using this tool that could then be used to unbrick sensations... I couldn't find what NV items are... I also found this....
Hi all, my daughter has a HTC HD2 which i used to own and had previously rooted and was running android fine. She dropped it about 3 weeks ago and put a small crack in the top of the screen but the phone still worked fine. Last week she was using it when it froze. She took the battery out and now it wont boot. I can get it to the bootkoader screen (the 3 colours) and at the top it says that it has hspl 2.08 on but when i connect it to the pc and tried to re-install magldr it either sits there for 10 mins and then says communication error or goes across to 4% and does the same. It must be reading the phone because if i try to re-install hspl it knows what version is on the phone but wont let me change it. Is it bricked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i fear the worst. although i am not a full experienced hacker, i fear your fone is bricked

I am so sorry i did not read the post carefully. It might not be bricked yet. If u can get it to the 3 colour screen there is still hope. U can install the winmo 6.5 back. Then try installing MAGLDR again. if u dont know how to install winmo 6.5. tell me. ill guide u
Give me a thanks if you found this post helpful
Hello,
I have done days worth of research in my spare time before finally caving in and asking for help. I'm still kinda new to the custom rom scene, and some where I must've messed up.
I was updating my ViperX rom do a newer version, but got a error code during the install, which rendered the OS useless. So decided to wipe and reinstall the older version, which failed. So I tried to install CM 11, which also failed... Somewhere a long the line my SD Card stopped being detected by the phone AND my PC. So now I don't know how to get an OS on it.
Here's some info I might need to share.:
**** UNLOCKED ***
ENDEAVOUR PVT / S-ON
HBOOT - 1.39.0000
(Bought in Sweden, before moving to the UK)
I have access to bootloader
I have access to recovery which is CWM 6.0.4.8.
My SD card WONT MOUNT (I think), so I don't think I could do "side loading", since it's not recognized in ADB . If I reboot the system, it bootloops at the CM update logo forever. I've tried reinstalling it several times, but it only installs for a few seconds, then restarts. (I'm guessing it's corrupt?)
Is there ANYTHING I've missed, or can do to fix this? I don't care what kind of ROM I have to use at this point, I just want a WORKING phone.
Cheers // Vic
Hi,
You need to ask this in HTC One X's Q and A section where you will get dedicated help from fellow One X users!
