THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BREAK FORUM RULES.
This thread has now been reported, and hopefully, it will be closed before someone goes against their better judgment and helps you.
If you want an answer, have patience and check back in the Q&A. Or, post in the relevant ROM thread. Or, search. Or, don't perform procedures on your buddy's phone if you don't know what you're doing. But DO NOT post in here when you KNOW it's a violation of the rules.
these guys are crawling out all over the place today....feel bad to be a mod today..lol...
you need to slow down friend and reread everything you need to and start from step 1.
If I were a mod, I would've taken the day off. It sounds bricked to me if you can't even get into fastboot. You should've done the one click root.

Ok anyone. Mods are getting really angry with all these post. Ur probaly gonna get banned for posting in this section. Anyway u probaly didn't follow directions. You flashed the spl before u did the radio and got bricked I guess. If u can't get into the bootloader by pressing camera + power or recovery home + power. You are brick. See you in 3 days after ur banned. You should have search first
if i flashed a gsm radio on a cdma? jus curious cuz i did that
Get your operators ship rom, then flash it via SD card. Reflash HardSPL and then flash a CDMA rom.
Oh dear. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember when someone has done that before, the phone was bricked (i.e. flashing the wrong radio, not just the wrong ROM). I do hope I'm wrong.

He said "cuz I did that", i.e. he *did* flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA device.
Suppose, but I would of expected a n00b to of posted something more like
"HELP!!!!
I flashed a sprint radio to my Tmo TP2 and now it wont turn on
PLZ PLZ PLZ HLP ME!"
he seemed rather calm
thanx for posting, well i thought i broke my phone a couple of days ago prior to this bcuz my phone turned off out of nowhere and wouldn't come back on even after being charged for an hr. then it turned on a couple hrs later when trying again. (dont ask me how bcuz Ive never had this problem before) and yes i did flash the wrong radio so im done for right? the reason why im being calm is cuz i thought i was gonna have to replace my phone in the first place. i was hopefully wishing on the inside for a miracle

Well, unless someone comes forward and says otherwise, I'm sorry to say yes, I think you're done. In the past one or two people have posted up a similar scenario and I don't recall them posting to say they fixed it.
It might cost you less than replacing your phone if you pay for your phone to be repaired.
Well possibly not. IF you can still get into bootloader (hold the volume down button when powering on or if device is already on hold down volume down and softreset) first LOOK AT THIS TASK 29 POST HERE BUT DONT DO ANYTHING YET!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Make sure to download the file provided, extract it to wherever.
Now goto this post here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342
and download the correct radio for your provider.
Replace the NBH file from the TASK 29 threads package you extracted with the one from your provider.
Run the task29 as instructed.
Once its done it wont boot into a rom you need to go back into bootloader like I told you how before (Volume down and reset) now find your providers stock rom from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
and flash that rom to your phone. Hopefully this will resolve your issue, best of luck to ya mate.
To anyone ready to post disagreeing: Please dont post up saying about task29 and saying it wont work and stuff, I have fixed two worldphone this way because the owners did exactly what he did, in the way I described here.
thanx aestivalisakito im willing to try what your taking about. have a couple of questions tho. its not that im making it go into bootloader. when i hit power it goes str8 to it. could that be a problem for this fix?
my screen sticks at the multi colored screen with writting in the background saying" code error please try again".and i noticed that, one time while powering on b4 getting stuck. it, for a split sec. try to go to the grey screen to flash and says "loading No image found" then back to multi colored screen. does this help any?
also can i use task29 thru sd card?
thanx for your help

Ahh it appears you weren't that clear. If you get into the multi-coloured screen, you are at bootloader. Download a rom from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms to get your original shipping rom. Once you have done this, put the nbh on the sdcard named as rhodimg.nbh. Reboot back into bootloader mode. This should then get you able to flash the device with all the proper stuff.
Make sure to get the one for YOUR original provider.
thanx i got it fixed. someone helped me on another forum with the same solution and it worked thanx for ur reply

I'm a noob sorry for explanation I cant load any roms or install from sd card. The last thing i did was update recovery it went to 2.5.I booted into recovery and my sdcard was empty now im stuck. I can get into recovery but when i apply update and reboot phone it stays on white evo screen. I dont know what to put on my sd card to fix. I have portable adapter for sdcard because my pc is not reading phone. I have been down three days now i dont know what to do. id like to stay rooted but i just want my phone to work please help.
Do i have a broken evo please help?
unfortunatley the only way (besides sending your phone in) is to do a sbf of the phone. it will wipe everything including your root. search around on the forums on how to do an sbf. to initially do it you need to get to your bootloader screen by using a combination of the power button and something else (idk i use the droid x) then use a program to flash the sbf. hope this helped.
and your phone isnt really "bricked" because you can get to the bootloader/recovery. completely bricked is not being able to do anything at all. Im sorry if this info is incorrect in any way since im basing it off of my dx knowledge.
oh i forgot to say its not allowing me flash anything through recovery. is there anyway i could install to my sdcard then put sd card in my evo?
thanks im about to try now!

any idea where i can find this sbf link cant find anywhere?
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.

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
My phone received an update last week.
The phone is not rooted. It is exactly as when bought.
Unfortunately, it now hangs at the T-Mobile splash screen and will not boot. Recovery takes me to a black screen with a phone and a red triangle.
Nothing else goes past the splash screen.
I was hoping to just flash a new ROM as I have done on other phones but it is S-ON and USB debugging is not enabled.
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 0.98.0002
RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 30 2011, 17:29:31
Since I cannot start the phone I am at a bit of a loss as to what I can do.
I have searched forums including this one but cannot find an answer for such a problem when USB debugging is off, the phone cannot boot and it's S-ON - although i can get into bootloader no trouble.
Please can someone give me an idea if this phone is a gonner? or might you be able to suggest a solution?
Thank you
Don
Don't you have warranty? Since the device is untouched let the service centre take care, why bothering yourself.
The other way is to press Vol Up + Power while in the red triangle recovery screen and wipe cache

thanks for the reply.
it's a works phone and they haven't shown an interest in fixing it but have just replaced it with a new one x.
that's great but rather than throw it away i'd like to try and fix it.
i have tried the volume up and power button from the red triangle screen and it gives me the option to boot from sd card which is a start!
what can i put on the sd card to get me going? do i need a rom image of the original rom? can i download something and if so what should i go looking for?
sorry if this is a bit noob but i tinker but am no expert!
thanks for any further assistance.

There is nothing to install from the sdcard.
Don't you have a "wipe cache" option there?
yes, i can wipe the cache but it makes no difference.
should i just give up hope or is there anything else i can do?
seems a shame.
since the phone can get to the different option screens i was hoping there might be a cure!
:crying:
There are ways to fix it, but it may be hard if you do not know the basics. Take a look in your SDcard for a file named OTA_blabla.zip
If there is such copy it to a safe place (as a backup) the install it via the option in recovery.
If no then you can make a Goldcard and flash an European 1.47.401.2 RUU while in "fastboot USB" mode
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Unfortunately, it gets better..... the SD card has been reformatted and put into new phone!
I'm quite good at following instructions / using my common sense if anyone has some pointers.
Even keen to read up if someone can point me in the right direction?
[Edit] sorry... Had not seem the goldcard bit in my e-mail. Will look into that.
Thanks
Don
Thanks for your help so far.
I think I'm getting somewhere but..
Gold card, done and in the phone.
RUU runs but after 30% i get, "Customer ID error".
I could not find the exact ROM you mentioned (European 1.47.401.2 RUU) so used:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
Is that where I've gone wrong?
the RUU asks me if i want to update 1.47.110.3 to Image Version 1.47.401.4?
do i need to find 1.47.110.3 somewhere then?
thanks
don
This is the problem with branded phones. Not all RUUs are available. That's why you have to make the GoldCard trick.
The RUU you have used is the proper one. My mistake at the last digit. But the error you are getting indicates that the GoldCard is not working.
Anyway today I remembered that the user Scanob posted another mirror in the "Saga Shipped ROMs" with some RUUs that are not available on the File Factory.
I have searched for it, checked and I found this: RUU_Saga_TMO_UK_1.47.110.3_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3 805.06.02.03_M_release_ 204398_signed.exe
I have opened the site but the file was not longer available there. So I have made some searching, found it on another Chinese site (direct link - you have to hit the blue button to download and the click the option to the right to download it via your browser).
So I guess this is your solution. Forget about the GoldCard, download the RUU and run it in "Fastboot USB" mode. You device should be fine after that.
Good luck!
Thanks. Will try tonight.
It's worked! Thank you very very much!
