My farther has asked me to sort his new phone for him, not sure where he got it from but it's a HTC Touch P3450...... I think, and the Windows is in Japanese.

I did some searching and found that I needed a English Windows Mobile Rom and thats where all the problems started. :)

1. I cant Hard Reset the phone. I hold the 'talk' and 'end' buttons while reseting and the phone just boots into the Windows. (I do hold the buttons down)

2. I cant get the Bootloader Screen, the TriColour screen. I downloaded 'enable-rapi' and followed the instructions but the phone always boots into the Windows.

3. I downloaded 'Touch3G_2.33.CO2.V33_host_by_mu' which I belive to be an original Rom, WM6.0. When I run 'ROMUpdateUtility' it goes through until it displays 'Verifying the information on your PDA phone' but the space on the next screen where the information about my phone should be, is blank. I click 'next' and the software says it going to copy to Rom over and to wait about 10 mins, and then the USB Connection drops. This happens EVERY time. :(

I also downloaded a 'device_info' program but I got these results

HTC Touch device information - by dsixda

Touch version : Unknown

Device ID : Unknown

CID : Unknown

IPL : ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ

Any help with any of the above questions would be great, or maybe someone who has experienced the same problems.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

There are 2 possibilities:

1 this is a chinese clone, do a search for these 2 words to understand. The clues are you can't hard reset with the normal combination and device info can't recognise it.

2 you bricked your device by not Cid unlocking before flashing the WRONG rom, Touch 3g is another device. If you can still use it normally then it's the first possibility.

BTW you also skipped the most important step before flashing: read carefully the wiki ;)

Good luck
[Touch GSM General] ShaggyTubb:
Many thanks Tito12, I have been looking into this a bit more but only managed to comfuss myself more. lol

I dont think its been 'bricked', if I switch the phone on normaly it loads in Windows and works fine - but in Japanese.

I have looked more into the idea of it being a 'cloned Jap WM' but nowhere seems to show any answers on being able to change the installed Rom to another one.

I have also found out that there is a difference between Elf and Elfin, I have been using the Elfin software, so I searched for Elf software and got redirected to the Elfin software. :P

I tried the CID Unlocking again, the info on the computer screen says its going to restart the phone into BootLoader but the phone resets and loads Windows - Aggghhhh

I also tried to Flash the Rom with a new WM I downloaded but the USB drops just before the Rom starts to install.

Also, you said 'BTW you also skipped the most important step before flashing: read carefully the wiki'. I hate to be a Noob but I have searched the XDA Forums for the answers and even tried the Wiki but still no luck. Is it something Im doing wrong.

Thanks all
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

This is the link http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png

There's no japanese clone, chinese clone is a device that looks like the Elf/in but cannot be flashed with winmo tools. There are a couple threads dealing with it but AFAIK you have to find other ways to change the rom (if they exist).

Do you see IPL and SPL when you are in bootloader?
[Nook Color General] rrwantr:
I followed VGs guide to installing CM7 to my SD card on my Nook Color. Got up and running fine. Went to install Gapps. Downloaded it and put it on the boot partition of the card and then then powered it up. Hit the power button and chose recovery, but it just reboots CM7 and nothing changes. Any ideas?

Edit: Went back and redid everything and included Gapps file initially and it installed all at once.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
This time I have really f***ed up guys. I really think this time I have actually bricked my Thunderbolt. I was on Bamf Remix 1.63 I believe and everything was running great. I was obviously rooted also. I was bored and decided to flash Protekks Battery Sipper Kernel. Right after I flashed it, the phone would not boot. I pulled the battery and booted up again and it got stuck in a boot loop. So after a few tries I finally got it to boot into the bootloader. I got into recovery and tried to flash a backup and it rebooted in the middle of restoring it. I tried that a few more times. I then let the battery die. Then I charged it up a lot and tried to power it on and got nothing. The screen will not even turn on. When plugged into my computer it sometimes vibrates and my computer detects it and then my computer makes the sound like it was disconnected. I think it is still stuck in the boot loop with the screen off though. BTW the charging light does light up when plugged in. I tried the stock and extended battery to make sure it was not a battery problem. I finally called up Verizon and after I told them it would not turn on he said he is shipping me a free replacement. I told them that after a OTA update the phone would not boot. He warned me that if there is any evidence that the phone was rooted or hacked, I would be charged the retail price for the phone. That is really the only thing I am scared of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Sorry for the long post, I wanted to get in all the details that I could.

Thanks

Try putting it in download mode and flash back to gongerbread using odin
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Wtf? This isn't Samsung. OP do you bootloop in bootloader? I recommend you go to the irc and give them any info you can.. you will probably end up flashing a stock ruu through the bootloader but first go to irc.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Thanks for the quick reply! How would I get into download mode. And I was on froyo before.. Shouldn't I download a froyo based rom?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Yeah I did not think we have Odin for HTC phones, and I already have the stock zip file on my MicroSD card but my screen will not turn on at all. I can not get into anything. Any advice?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
OK thanks for the replies. Do you think the Verizon warranty center people will actually go to the trouble of getting it to work and then charge me full retail for a new one if they see it is rooted. I already have the stock zip on the SD card so when it does boot up, it will return everything to stock. I have read online that some people have been charged retail because there phones have been rooted but most of them have gotten away with with it..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovesoad:
I think you're almost certainly fine. It's a lot of work and time for big red over one phone. Plus, your etf is less expensive than a replacement device :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
thanks for the response man. etf= early termination fee? I might not have said in my original post but they are sending me a free replacement device. The rep on the phone specifically said that if they find my phone to be rooted or hacked, that I will be charged around 629$ for the refurb replacement. I really cannot afford that :((
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Call back and tell em you accidentally dropped it out of moving vehicle and that it was run over 5 times...and that it was raining outside. Then pay your deductible.

I got out of a bootloop on my friend's Insipre 4G (which is very similar to the TB) by mounting the microSD on my computer, and then putting a stock ROM on it. I had to rename the stock ROM PG98IMG (PG05IMG on Thunderbolt), and flash it through the bootloader, but it did work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Thanks for the post man but the Thunderbolt does not show any signs of life at all besides the flashing orange LED at the top blinking and the computer detecting it on and off every 5 minutes. The stock zip is already on the SD card so when it finally boots up it will flash and hopefully Verizon won't charge me out the @ss for a replacement.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
powered on! for a second...

UPDATE: I just had it hooked up to my laptop and it booted on the the white HTC screen and I almost had a heart attaack :O but then it powered off and wont come back on. FML :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
how long have you had your phone and what hardware revision was it? did you try to run the RUU yet?

i think some people just got a batch of faulty phones because this doesn't seem to affect many.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang302LX:
I highly doubt verizon is going to receive your broken phone and boot it up and it will magically work. The only way it will auto-update is if they boot it into HBOOT. If they somehow just power it on it won't automatically apply anything. Keep that in mind. But I really wouldn't worry too much about it. If they charge you call them and tell them wtf I wasn't rooted. I don't even know what that means lol. ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
I have had the phone since the very first days it was released. Another slight annoying thing I have had happening prior is the glue on the screen has not been holding it down very well and and I can easily get a nail under it. And it wont let me do anything. I have a Droid X as a backup for now but I miss my beast :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
that's what im starting to think as htc has since released a revision 2 thunderbolt. i know as i just bought mine a few weeks ago. im wondering if the faulty phones were version 1 phones and have since been fixed. i also do not experience the high battery drain most of you guys do either.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Haha yeah the guy on the phone was like "have you ever rooted or hacked the phone in any way?" and I was like sir what is rooting? hahaha and he was like "if we find out that you hacked the phone in any way, you will charged full retail price and I was like I aint got nothing to worry about :P
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
ummm unless you can set your phone back to stock your screwed... sprint never asked me anything like that before, apparently verizon is more strict.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
+1

If the phone just boots to the white htc splashscreen & quickly reboots, I doubt it will do anything else at the verizon store.

Have you tried using adb reboot recovery command?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
i say try to run the RUU and see what happens.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang302LX:
+1 def. worth a shot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
can't hurt the phone any.... besides he needs to find a way to lock nand again and unroot or he's gonna be paying alot of money to verizon.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
The RUU is booting into HBOOT and returning it to stock right? If that is

correct, then I have tried 100's of times in the last 48 hours. No response :/
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
OP what were you doing when the phone "bricked"? what radio were you using, we need info here. might shed some light on why some brick and most do not. i still say if you had a launch day Tbolt that might be the issue right there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
no, download the RUU exe and hook your phone up to the pc and run it. im not talking about flashing anything from the sd card. id like to see if your pc recognizes the phone and allows the RUU to run or not. you will need htc sync installed as well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
yeah I have a launch day Thunderbolt. and I was running Das Bamf 1.63 rooted with I believe one of the underclocked kernels. I was on the Froyo radio but I have flashed the gingerbread radio before and then went back to Froyo. Is there any more info you guys need?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Ok that sounds like a plan! I have HTC sync installed already. What else do I need?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
the logical explanation would be you had a phone with a faulty chipset "launch day" revision 1 phone. im not sure 100% but that's where im leaning right now. i still do not believe the current ginger radio's caused any bricks... that's unless you ran that possible faulty alpha one that was pulled.

can anybody with a launch day or shortly after tbolt find out what version you are?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
your gonna have to find the official froyo RUU exe and download it, then run it after you hook your phone up to the pc. look for it on here or on htc's site.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
Before doing anything else, you should go to the IRC channel and talk to the regulars there. Not that fixxer's advice is bad, but just to see if anyone else can shed some light.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
Yeah.... I think I ran the Alpha Gingerbread Radio :/ and I have the RUU already downloaded. Now what do I do? sorry for being such a noob.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
i would hook my phone to the pc and execute the exe and let it do it's thing. but i also read to not run the RUU if your rooted on the tbolt?... never heard of that considering that's a good way to go back to stock when i had my evo4g.

if your phones already borked, doing this isn't going to make it worse. hell it might even fix it! ;)

try the chat room first and see what they say. if it were me id try the RUU before sending it back to verizon.

the devs would probably want some info from you before you do this though. i know we all want to find the reason behind the random bricks.

since you ran that alpha radio, it is possible it messed up your phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
so... whats the deal OP did you fix it or what? what was the outcome.

I went over and talked to jcase and dougpiston and vinylfreak and i am actually still talking to them but the phone is ****ed. COMPLETELY! we went through ADB and tried everything.

Has anyone gotten nailed by VZW for having a rooted device? To my knowledge about 5% of the replacement devices still have whatever issue they were warrantied for anyway. VZW doesn't handle the warranties anyway it's outsourced to a clearing house that hardly bothers to check. Maybe i've said too much. Better go make my profile a little more anonymous. :rolleyes:

Besides, if the screen doesn't turn on they aren't going to bother with it.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
I am planning on getting my TB replaced under a manufactures warranty not on my insurance. This is not outsourced, I don't think. So I am pretty sure Verizon will be going over the phones thoroughly to make sure they are not getting screwed. Then again I really am still deciding to what to do. It is dead. I have been up 28 hours trying to resolve the damn problems and nothing works. Anymore advice would be appreciated a lot!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
What is wrong with you that you wouldn't just pony up the $100 bucks and get an insurance replacement? Why on earth would you hand Verizon a bricked phone with a rooted rom on it with God knows what on the sdcard and expect a new replacement? The only time I'd do that would be if I got it at Best Buy where they really don't ask any questions. I told the guys at the store near me I intended to root it as soon as I got it home and they told me "Just come back and swap it out if anything goes wrong!" But Verizon? That checkmark (resembling the checkmark you got next to wrong answers on your homework in school) isn't communist red to look cute.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:

OK guys I received my new Thunderbolt today! Contrary to prior forums I have read, my phone came in excellent NEW! condition with no battery and MicroSD card. It boots up great and does not appear to have any problems :D Anyway I was getting ready to box up my other "bricked" Thunderbolt and I decided to try and boot it up one more time and WTF it booted up to the H-Boot screen out of nowhere. So now I will be sure to wipe it clean of root and roms before I mail it back in. I am pretty sure the problem is when I installed the Protekk Battery Sipper Kernel, it borked the **** out of my charging process because it always blinked orange when I have it plugged into the wall. I can't believe it was that simple but I am pretty happy that I can fully wipe it before sending it in! Thanks for all the advice guys.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this bad boy.

Now I know the gingerbread + bootloader unlockable upgrade is just around the corner.

If I root now, will that nerf the ability to go OTA?

I just want to stick to stock/OTA until the upcoming upgrade as a baseline, then I'm home free lol

I'm not a rookie at flashing/custom ROM (cyanogen on N1, overcome on SG tab) but I am a bit cautious/lazy, would seem like a safe option to start with gingerbread and stock unlockable bootloader as starting point.

TBH I've only ever dealt with stock unlockable bootloaders.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl0wf1sh:
If you just root, I think you should still be able to receive the update.

If, however, you root AND mod... then no. Even removing bloatware may shoot your chance (try freezing instead, so you can restore).

The reason is that hte Moto update will check certain system files (not sure which) before update - after reboot, just before installing the update . If it finds anything amiss with what it is checking, it will cancel the update.

So if yuo have waited that long for rooting, might as well wait a bit longer. In any case, if the past is any indicatino, the 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4) update may remove root and/or plug the security holes that allow root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
yep my thoughts exactly. I'll probably hold off entirely and live with the nerfing so I can get a nice clean OTA gingerbread base

For anyone having very slow 3g speeds. Here is what you need to do

1. Call Sprint and get your MSL number

2. Dial ##3282#

3. Click 'Edit'

5. Go to Advanced

6. Scroll to the bottom and open RTSP/HTTP

7. Remove both proxy IP's (delete the address and click save)

8. Go back one screen and click menu, then click 'commit modifications'

Phone may reboot, run a speed test.
