I had a problem like this - tried everything - reloaded old nand ... etc. A person on another board suggested installing a data switch app and turning it back on. I thought this was crazy but I did it (desperate) and it worked.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
Sorry did not know that you have Optimus V. Any way most service providers have some way to send you the settings files. Some through a service request page online or an SMS no. To request the settings from.

I have seen a link on customer support of samsung the gives you manual settings for all networks around the world, I just can not find it now.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] youngt_07:
I did have data before i flashed.. called VM again and they sent me a 3G reset but that did nothing.. I'm using thnderc recovery and asop lastest rom, I will try a few things that where pointed out to me and update on my progress.. thanks for the feedback!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xircso:
I'm having the same problem with my Optimus V, and looking on the interwebs it seems to be a known problem, that possibly affects all of Virgin mobile smart phones. I just end up going into settings and turning off/on the data connection. This always fixes it, until the next day or so when it happens again. Pretty frustrating. The LG forums even admit it's an issue and posted on this thread: LG forums about data issue but no actual fix as of yet.

And I'm actually still running stock on it, so it's not a custom ROM issue.

[Vibrant General] gazelem37:
I'm not so sure Apple should have gone after them like that. Sammy has the most patents in the US next to IBM and a lot of those are cell phone patents. Why was Apple so intent on biting the hand that feeds them. Yes, I see the similarities in the phone and somewhat in the UI but not to the extent of suing them the amount of product that was purchased from Sammy.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
We all knew this was to come... and to someone who said Samsung was one of the most patent-maker companies... thanks for the info, i really didn't know that.

Anyways, Apple is sure to lose this, because Samsung filed like 6 back at them, from like 4 countries lol
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Yup Like I said in a previous posting, This is nuisance suing because you have no other way to slow the competition down from running you over. and for Samsung, this is just a speed bump. Apple is going to have A LOT of market share loss over the next 2 years, and suing will not change that..........Watch how Apple will come out and play the victim........ LoL they are such putz's
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
What is incredible is how a multitouch patent was given to apple,when multitouch screen dates back to the early 80's and was the university of Toronto who first made one.

Even better Apple doesn't make touch screen or any kind of LCD they are not manufacturers of hardware they buy it.

I think they are mistaken by the fact that they were the first to do it on a cellphone,but that doesn't mean the patent is their.

Nintendo did rumble on consoles before any one else did,but the patent wasn't theirs,in fact Sony and MS pay money to a company know for patent infringement for rumble on controllers even that no other company before Nintendo had done that.

I think is the whole flawed system of patent which allow for this kind of craps,i may as well patent taking photos of unknown planets out side this world.

And Samsung fire back with hey we have the patent to connect phones to PC by USB..haha

Apple suck so much i don't know how people put up with their crap.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
eltormo you are correct but application patents are what companies use to create useless lawsuits. And, if you have alot of money you can afford to do this. The fact that apple sued microsoft for the use of windows or Graphic User Interface was also a joke. This was invented by Stanford Univ. for their teachers.....go figure

[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
You're all correct. Apple is only doing this because of how Android and Samsung are doing so well. Just a means to slow the competition.

Its just funny to me to Steve Jobs shake in his boots. He thought apple was unstoppable. He's wrong. Just like how he said flash was "old technology " and didn't want it on his phones. Then he realized he was dumb and went crawling to adobe to get flash working on his OS. LOL

He's a tool. And his business strategy is weal now. Especially cuz of Android. I personally know probably around 15 people who were isheep. Once they seen my phone they all switched to Android

[Wildfire General] dannyjmcguinness:
Whilst spending more endless hours attempting to root my wildfire, I have noticed that if I push mtd0 to sdcard as mtd0.img, and then use HxD to edit it as though to use flash_version ( I was thinking I wonder if it's possible to spoof supercid 111111) so after backing up the original I filled the entire file full of 1's (I tried 0's first, the error message tells me if i could force 0's this may be a good thing???) and flashed misc.

On entering hboot when it checks sdcard a load of 1's came up before anything else, so i repeated the experiment with stars *, and *'s is what hboot seen.

I'm thinking possiblity of some kind of alternate boot or mabye a command (fastboot oem unlock, or fastboot erase hboot) or something along those lines. Tried modifying the first line, but still came up *'s so somewhere else in the file possibly where version goes, but version doesnt usually show up on sdcheck does it.

Experiments continue
[Wildfire General] Comfreak89:

[Wildfire General] EchoVelocity:
Any more luck? How is this getting on?
[Wildfire General] alvaritolalala:
I tried this a week ago and it does not seems to work :S

cid version is on "ro.cid" prop. Change cid on mtd0, flash it and then try a "getprop ro.cid"

Of course, you'll get the original CID, not the supercid. You cannot change these properties (ro.secure is another one. The ONE that prevent us from writing on system, etc)

I think these properties are Read-Only and are loaded into the system from the hboot at boot time.

I managed to change the default.prop on "/" from ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 but every time you reboot your phone this file goes back to ro.secure=1, so I think hboot re-load every file and prop needed for their security lock at boot.

I repeat, even with root access you won't change a single property with "ro." before.

Not a single one.

Sorry guys, we'll have to wait more...

[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
Hi All,

My little sister has an Inspire 4g. She's not very tech savvy and wouldn't know the difference between a rom and a skin. She is now on her 3rd inspire because of what sounds to me like a bricking problem. Any help in diagnosing this problem would be great. I searched the forum, but everything i found had to do with rom flashing.

Symptoms:

Phone won't power on unless battery is removed. Once it starts powering up, it gets to the HTC logo and freezes. She waited about 15 minutes and nothing would happen.

This happened over night one night, she woke up and couldn't power on.

It also happened 10 days later with a replacement phone while playing a game.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,

Ratkid2271
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Has the phone been rooted?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
No, the phone was not rooted. She wouldn't know how to root. Everything is stock, except for a few apps she installed from the market place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You say she's on now on phone #3. The symptoms you describe occurred on #3, or on all three phones?

In other words, has it been the same exact symptoms that caused her to go through two other phones?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
The first phone bricked over night, the second while she was playing the game. Her third phone has not bricked yet, but I want to help her prevent it from bricking if I can. She's getting fed up with the phone...
[HTC Inspire 4G] C Brown:
Have you tried a new or different charger?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Or especially car charger. Never turn the car on with the phone plugged in. Bad mojo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
First phone that bricked, it was charging from a wallwart over night. The second time it was not plugged in at all...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Where are these phones coming from? ATT store, best buy, Costco?

I find it hard to believe you'd get 2 bad phones, and be fearing for a third, if the place you got them from are giving you new, not refurbished replacements. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that it seems unlikely, especially with this phone, from this manufacturer.

Just for piece of mind, you may want to give a closer look at your what/how your sister is using/handling the phone, as well, just to make absolutely sure the problem is indeed a bad batch of phones.

That way if it does happen a third time, you can confidently articulate the symptoms to the place of return. After having to replace more than a couple phones, places might start to get a little more reluctant to keep doing replacements.

FWIW
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
The original phone was purchased at an at&t store. The replacements came from the same store. They were NIB. The only thing that i can think of is that an OTA update was pushed (are they able to force the update, they prompt on my atrix) and she didn't let it finish. Would that brick the phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cdfink08:
I'm telling you its the midget porn. All the kids are watching it these days
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
An failed OTA update could definitely brick a phone, and I have heard of Verizon or some carrier doing a "silent" update, but I don't think one has occurred for this phone yet, though an update is in the works from att.

Besides, I don't think they'd do a major, potentially brick-causing OTA anyways, after what happened with the bell/rogers captivate, or whatever it was, fiasco awhile back.

If the replacements were NIB and from att, that makes me even more skeptical that the cause was a bad batch of phones, especially if the replacements were spaced several days apart, as they get new shipments in, further decreasing the likelihood of 2 bad ones from the same batch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
The whole issue of brick by ota update can easily and practically be solved by manufacturers of Android phones distributing desktop update software, similar to blackberry manager software. I know with the Samsung captivate, you can download the kies program to update. But it wasn't distributed with the phone so most users aren't going to be aware. I still yet have to be explained why this isn't in practice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
my first inspire did this. This was on day one without root. I would think it was probably a bad coincidence. I bet she's in the clear.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratkid2271:
Do you know what you were doing when this happened?

I wish i actually saw the phone(s) in their bricked state. I feel like i could give better information to everyone. It seems like this is not a very common issue or i would have found at least one other post about it. I'm hoping it was just a fluke. Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

XDA members rock!
[HTC Inspire 4G] nightborne:
I think she's going to have to take a good long look at what she has done with each phone...

- How has she been charging it?

- Did she download the same apps every time? What were they?

- Does she have any friends who have offered to help her tweak the settings or anything on the phone that may have inadvertently messed up something or tried to flash it?

- What sort of environment is it kept in?

- Protective case? Other accessories?

I think these need to be investigated to properly identify the cause. 3 phones dying that quickly may be indicative of a situation that she is creating without KNOWING that she is doing so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If it bricks after failing a OTA update, and you still got it to boot I don't see why you couldn't run the RUU. Even then if it doesn't fully boot you shouldn't have a problem getting into the boot loader and using a pd98img to recover. It is really hard REALLY hard to completely brick this phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nightborne:
D'oh, you beat me to it...was just thinking the same thing about using a stock RUU and the bootloader.
